of your head as you breathe in, and circulate the electrical energy down the front of your body as you breathe out.
Expand the electromagnetic field around your feet and gradually up around every part of your body, toes to head, seeing and feeling yourself in a capsule of living EMF (electromotive force) energy. Start with one sinch and expand gradually to 12 inches.
Three months of daily practice will retrain your brain and autonomic, automatic, nervous system. Then you may be able to continue with only five minutes daily.
Other tools for total body relaxation and balancing are:
Good music
Flashing lights at 1 to 7 cycles per second, such as the Shealy RelaxMate II
Vibratory music, through speakers placed in the mattress
Using chakra glasses—there are the 7 major colors—red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, purple. Different strokes for different people—some people achieve much greater peace, using one they particularly like
Hot tubs, saunas, or a soak in a regular bathtub, perhaps adding a few drops of lavender oil to the water
Dancing or jogging
Just walking or lying in nature
Sitting in a copper pyramid or in front of a copper panel on the wall
Developing and using a mantra: I am relaxed and comfortable, etc.
Lying on a true magnetic mattress—MagneticoSleep is excellent.
Managing Chemical Stress
If you remember your total life stress, you can review the obvious chemical stressors in your life. Some come from common food/drink intakes like sugar, coffee, and alcohol. Others from your habits or those around you, such as smoking. Others come from society—the addition of chlorine and fluoride to drinking water.
According to many sources, the average American eats one hundred-fifty pounds of sugar a year. That is three pounds or forty-eight ounces a week or almost seven ounces daily. That is forty-two teaspoons of sugar daily! That is over eight stress points. About half is high fructose sugar added to many packaged foods. Each teaspoon deprives you of all the B vitamins, chromium, magnesium, and vanadium and helps burn out your adrenal glands. And of course this is added sugar, not that naturally found in fruits, etc.! No added sugar is needed or good. If you are consuming more than five teaspoons daily, your long-term health is at risk!!
Perhaps caffeine is the next most common chemical stressor. For most adults one cup of coffee daily is probably quite safe, but even without added sugar, one cup of coffee adds one stress point. The chemical stress of fluoride and chlorine is, like all stress, additive. To make it simple, no chlorine or fluoride is good or healthy, and if you just consume them daily, you have added three hundred-sixty-five stress points a year, or thirty a month! Remember that any stress above twenty points puts you at significant risk!
Table sugar is the first artificial food! The first food from which all vitamins, fiber, and minerals were removed! White rice was the second artificial food, removing the essential fiber and vitamins, leading especially to B 1 deficiency or beriberi. About 20% of all calories intake in the world comes from white rice, essentially a great stress food!
Wheat or the “staff of life” has been more prostituted than any other food. First and foremost, white flour is deficient in fiber, vitamins, and minerals. Further it is bleached with bromine, a neurologic toxin, and, most critically of all, it is now over 90% genetically modified, including the addition of Roundup®—a serious poison to the actual seed itself! I strongly advise eating no wheat.
With the chemicalization of most food also comes numerous artificial foods such as MSG, monosodium glutamate, a known brain toxin and artificially hydrogenated or trans-fats, which we cannot metabolize. Thus all margarines are far more toxically stressful than any natural fat. Then come the truly artificial, toxic, unreal junk sold as food: aspartame, saccharine, Splenda®, Olestra®, and artificial flavors, colors, tomato sauces, chocolate, etc. All of these add chemical poisons and stress to your body!
In addition, many modern fabrics, carpets, paints, insulation materials, detergents, etc. are chemical toxins, providing daily stress and even changing the endocrine glands—especially many estrogenic substances which have seriously altered the entire hormonal system. The addition of antibiotics to animal foods further increases the overall chemical stress load. Finally, cars and factories emit millions of tons of toxic chemicals daily. And that does not include the addition of cigarette smoking! After sixty years of national effort to get rid of tobacco, 22% of adults still smoke, poisoning themselves and those around them. Average city life is significantly shorter than rural life even with the marked chemical pollution of modern farming. Every state is different. (See http://www.measureofamerica.org/maps/.) In general, because of a variety of health habits, Asian Americans are healthier than Caucasians, who are healthier than Latinos, African Americans, and Native American Indians. In Connecticut, for instance, Asian Americans outlive the average American by eleven years! Average Americans live seventy-eight years, with an average life expectancy being decreased by twenty-two years. Those twenty-two years lost come from smoking, obesity, crummy nutrition, and inadequate exercise. Not only do average Americans lose twenty-two years of life, at least 75% of all the illnesses that shorten life and minimize health are preventable!

Water
As an adult you should drink half your body weight in pounds in ounces of good water. For 150 pounds of weight, that means 75 ounces of water! If you live in a city, I strongly recommend a good filter to remove chlorine and fluoride, at least from your drinking and cooking water. Ideally, you would remove it from your bathing water as well. Coffee and tea do not count as water, although any caffeine-free herbal tea will count as water intake. Fruit and vegetable juices also do not count as water, as they have many other substances that require the water content for metabolism.
Antioxidants
There are many natural antioxidants in nature, and if you eat at least 80% of your food as fresh fruits and vegetables, you will probably get enough. A list of important antioxidants follows:
Anthocyanins—these great red, orange, and blue colored fruits and vegetables—are tremendous and should be part of every diet.
Ascorbic acid—the essential in vitamin C—was discovered by the great scientist, Szent-Gyorgi, who took 10 grams daily. For adults, I recommend 2000 mg, best taken with 1000 mg of methyl sulfonyl sulfate, 60 mcg of molybdenum, and 3 to 6 mg of bet 1,3 glucan. This combination, found in my Youth Formula, helps restore DHEA. More about that later. For serious illnesses such as bad viral infections or cancer, I recommend up to 100 grams of vitamin C IV in a Myers cocktail. Of course, that requires a physician prescription and administration!
