A time of transition...

It is with a sad heart that I report the passing of Subtle Energy Solutions' president, Shay Arave, on January 9th, 2012. She took over the company in 2001, transforming it from an MLM focussed on one set of products, to an entire retail product line for the express purpose of helping everyone live a vibrant, peaceful, and fulfilling life.

Shay most loved speaking with her customers one-on-one, and helping them with their difficulties and challenges. She inspired so many people, and changed the lives of the hundreds of people she cared so much about. Her beauty, open heart, and angelic caring attitude is greatly missed, yet it was her expressed wish that Subtle Energy Solutions continue on, expanding to help more and more people.

With renewed commitment and energy, we are spreading the word about the unique products we carry, and their huge benefits to all who use them regularly. Subtleenergysolutions.com sister site, Shaysways.com, will remain online in Shay's honor, reflecting her great enthusiasm for all the practitioners, inventors, authors, coaches, yogis and sages she admired and interacted with over the years.

We urge you to take another look at our core Subtle Energy Solutions formulas, if you haven't in a while, and find out which ones really speak to you. Include the Gem Elixirs, and Crystals, asking the question, "Which of these will help me the most?" I can guarantee at least one or two will ring a bell. These are the ones your physical and emotional bodies will most utilize.

Having used these formulas myself since 1996, I can confidently report that they have never failed to bring me back to a state of comfort and energy when things have gotten rocky, and have served as a bedrock of self-care for me. Their value and ease of use make them some of the most effective and useful formulas out there. So, please, check them out.

For the next few issues we will be exploring the value of subtle energy for healing and improving quality of life. We believe the entire field of subtle energy and energy medicine is the future of medical care, as more and more mainstream doctors, chiropractors, and naturopaths embrace it--from Deepak Chopra to Dr. Oz; Dr. Mercola to Dr. Andrew Weil--all have made this prediction.

We look forward to having you along on this journey, and welcome your comments and reports on your experiences. And, as Shay would always say, We love to hear from you!

Until next time...

In vibrant health,

Boyd Martin, President

Featured Subtle Energy Formula

The E-1 formula is most popular for the immediate relief of insomnia, acid indigestion, or nervous conditions. Even veteranarians use E-1 to immediately calm traumatized animals or those upset from a vet office visit. Professional practitioners, however, have reported that long-term use of E-1--six to eight months--has a myriad of positive effects, including the resolution of long-standing chronic conditions.

E-1 is called a "modulator," meaning where there are body systems lower than normal levels, or higher than normal levels, E-1 will normalize those body systems. Practitioners also use the formula as the first line of treatment because of this normalizing effect. It allows the body to more accurately respond to subsequent treatments. Often, the body uses so much energy coping with an acute or chronic condition, it cannot respond to the treatments for those conditions. E-1 enables the body to respond. Thus, such treatments as herbal formulas, homeopathics, or even body work, become much more effective.

E-1 is also very useful for treating traumas of all kinds--accidents, losses, shocks, anxiety--as it calms the adrenals, and resets the parasympathetic nervous system. Dr. Yury Kron, the formula's developer says, "E-1 has a profound effect on the central nervous system, especially as it relates to physical stress on the nervous system induced by chronic or acute conditions. It also supports the relaxation response, and has an observable effect in improving sleep, reducing anxiety and hyperactivity, as well as a decrease in pain."

As with all subtle energy ionic mineral formulas, 5-10 drops in 4-8 oz. of water or drink, a few times a day is the usual dosage.

Feng Shui Quickies

The gourd, or Wu Lou, is a very popular feng shui abundance cure used in the traditional feng shui applications. Most commonly the gourd is made of either metal or wood, but you can also find a wu lou made from jade, porcelain or even glass.

The natural bottle gourd with its bi-lobes shape like the number 8, represent heaven and earth. It is a wonderful tool to enhance and balance the energy around you. The upper part of the bottle gourd must be properly carved with a hole, the membranes inside removed, and then allow the gourd to dry until it has hardened.

A good feng shui Wu Lou comes adorned with such details as colored tassels, various symbols, crystals, or images of ancient gods. These details imply the best use of the gourd as a specific feng shui cure. The Wu Lou is used not only to attract the energy of money, but also as a feng shui cure for health and good luck. -- Gwynne Warner, 10,000 Blessings Feng Shui

Dear Readers, Nov. 25, 2011

As I close the year, I'm closing it with my own health opportunity. Over the past ten years we've helped thousands of people make their way back to a more vibrant life. Now I find myself doing my own coaching on myself. In other words, the tables have turned, and I am offered an even deeper perspective on the practice I've done with others.

As you know, over the years I've enjoyed corresponding and speaking with you. There are some of you I speak to regularly, and others less frequently, but it has added so much richness to my world.

The balance of this year has been spent in sunny San Diego, California. Some of that time I served as a missionary at the Optimum Health Institute, some of that time I spent studying and practicing Ayurvedic medicine in association with Deep Healing Yoga at the Ginseng Yoga Studio. And a large part of it has been seeking the proper medical care, both allopathic, integrative and holistic, to address and deal with my challenging health opportunity.

A dear spiritual friend of mine is a priest in the heroic and flag-waving New York City, the Lady of Liberty. This priest works with street people--those whom others consider a lost cause. I wanted to share his communication to me, as it touched me deeply. I hope in sharing this communication to all of you, it may touch you as it did me, and put in perspective the true meaning of celebrating with our loved ones.

My Beloved Shay,

While hearing from you delighted my heart, the message was saddening. It always brings up the obviously unanswered question: Why do good people suffer? From the first time we communicated I felt a bond with you and a deep connection.

When somehow in the Grand Matrix an email arrived from Subtle Energy Solutions with your name attached, I was so happy. I immediately called Boyd and asked for you, followed by placing an order which I will do again in the very near future.

We have an expression in Latin,"Cor ad Cor Loquitor", meaning Heart speaking to Heart. From my priestly heart I send you Love, Love,and more Love. I send supportive energy to Boyd who is there by Divine Providence to care for you. Now more than ever you will be in my thoughts and prayers. I will be in touch, Dearheart.

Blessings and Love from above and below, Father V.J.R.,D.D.

Until next time...

Candice Covington's Tattvas Oils & Amuletsl
I've carried Candice's remarkable essential oils and magical amulets for a couple of years now, and continue to be more and more impressed with the power and beauty of these oils and amulets. Candice's newsletter for November features the archetypes of AIR. She says, "Our new ideas and deepest longings are no longer just concepts -- now is the time for living out what we have dreamed into being! We will explore some archetypes that will help clear away any vestiges of the old and out-dated, purifying, amplifying and supporting beautiful new growth." She recommends Kaffir Lime Leaf oil with the Air Amulet in promoting freedom from attachments (dogmatic, emotional, etc.) and fosters love of all types, forgiveness and compassion.

Candice is also presenting a new 5-day "Beyond Belief" retreat called Evolution through the Elements (located in Huatulco, Mexico). This retreat is designed to take you on a mythic journey through the deepest layers of Self as you heal, open, rejuvenate and step into the fullness of who you are.

Laura Plumb's Food: A Love Story
I love this blog by Laura. She is the wife of my yoga teacher, Bhava Ram here in San Diego. They both teach a form of yoga called Deep Yoga, and practice the Ayurvedic lifestyle of balanced nutrition, with a balanced emotional and spiritual life.

In her blog, Laura offers a collection of nourishing recipes, ideas, photographs and links to help feed you ~ with a gentle reminder that throughout time, and now more than ever, the best medicine always has been nature’s nourishment. She says, "In my work I have found that the greatest need most people have is for real, true, deep and enduring nourishment. Nature is solid comfort, and nourishing in so many ways. It inspires us with beauty; engages our senses with aromas, colors, tastes; offers us places to play, run free; and its rhythms help restore us. Of course, nature gives us the healthiest food available to sustain vitality and strength, and it is intelligent enough to provide seasonally varying harvests to balance us through the wax and wane of each year."

Rodney Schwan, Aromatherapist Extraordinaire
I've been working with Rodney for a few months now, and I believe he is a true wizard. He is a master aromatherapist, massage therapist, and integrative medicine consultant, and he is truly changing lives. (See his website).

I had the honor of helping Rodney promote his Sacred Art of Wellness workshop here in San Diego this past month. The workshop was a great success, and everyone was moved and inspired by his wealth of knowledge on the subject of the power of scent over wellness. Both Boyd and I were deeply impressed with his one-on-one sessions, with Boyd reporting that it changed his life.

Rodney is in the unique position of using aromatherapy alongside allopathic medicine doctors at the Institute of Palliative Medicine for the San Diego Hospice. The organization is one of the largest hospice and palliative care programs in the United States. More than 800 hospice staff and 600 volunteers annually care for over 4,000 adult and pediatric patients and their families, as well as more than 12,000 bereaved clients. Rodney is there with his angelic presence, deep metaphysical understanding, and his amazing aromatherapy.

Rodney will present his next workshop in February in Sacramento, as well as another in San Diego later. Email me for more info as it becomes available.

Feng Shui Quickies

There are two ways of spreading light; to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it." (Edith Wharton)

Light is one of the great activators in Feng Shui. Bright light, with its Yang nature, is a potent and easy way to generate environments that invite success, good fortune and prosperity to you. It's also such a beautiful metaphor to encourage sparkling inner radiance.

Here are some easy and affordable ways to up the "bling" in your own life.

Increase the Light ON You

• Wear Swarovski crystals, gold and diamonds
• Polish your wedding ring
• Wear iridescent make-up
• Polish your teeth
• Wear fabrics that sparkle and shimmer
• Use glittery or glossy nail lacquer

Increase the Light IN You

• Meditate
• Get enough sleep
• Move your chi
• Deepen your spiritual life-whatever that is for you
• Receive energetic healings and body work

Think of more ways to increase the Light AROUND You in Your Home, Garden + Office! -- Gwynne Warner, 10,000 Blessings Feng Shui

Find out your Body Type

Dear Readers, Oct.21, 2011

Although I've been living down here in beautiful, mild and sunny San Diego, the nights have become chilly and the days much shorter. The angle of the sun tells the deciduous trees to drop some leaves, and those marine-layer mornings are more frequent and last a little longer. All of this tells my body it is autumn. This is important, because our bodies follow the seasons like everything else in Nature.

I've been studying the Ayurvedic methodology lately, and one of my dear yoga teachers, Laura Plumb, has been a very informative source of information on the subject. She has a great blog worth following, called "Food: A Love Story". Here are her best tips for lifestyle changes to follow the fall season:

1. Rest & Nest ~ Do less. Breathe deep. Turn inward. Come evening, let yourself go gently into the night: Gaze at the Moon. Gaze at a candle. Gaze at the darkness. Dive into the quiet. Enjoy the stillness.
2. Hydrate ~ Start your day with lemon and water. Drink warm ginger tea with your meals. Sip Spicy Tea throughout the day.
3. Abhyanga ~ Give yourself a vigorous full-body, organic oil massage every morning before you shower. (Yes, oil BEFORE shower!). Massage your feet at night with warm oil and cover with cotton socks before bed.
4. Mineral Baths ~ Soak in a warm bath with Epsom Salts. Add lavender or your favorite essential oil. Do this often. Ahhhhhhh.
5. Yogic Power Nap ~ Lie down in Supported Viparita Karani Mudra (photo right) for 15-20 minutes, three times a week. Let time melt away. Feel the peace of relaxation. Allow your body and mind to be deeply nourished and restored.

Thank you, Laura!

Until next time...

Working with the Heartspace

The heartspace in the body is a completely unique electromagnetic system, creating a magnetic field hundreds of times stronger than the brain's. Additionally, some bio-magnetic research has concluded that the heart is a torsion field, capable of accessing alternate realities, different dimensions and creating a bridge to all universal information. The HeartMath Institute has done extensive research on this technique and has proved it lowers general stress levels, cortisol, blood pressure, and nervousness. You can use it to "press the reset button" when things are getting stressful, and allows you to experience from a new perspective. That perspective is the torsion field of the heart. >>>> MORE

Here are three actions you can take quite quickly to keep the chi moving in your home and office. So open your calendar and make time in your schedule or get up from the computer right now and just do it!

1. Tidy up your car, get a car wash and reward yourself with beautiful music to drive to, giving yourself a radio sabbatical. You can also get an aromatherapy plug in and use the essential oils of sweet orange or grapefruit to help you stay alert.
2. Clear every horizontal surface in your home and office.
3. Polish your mirrors and increase the light.
