You might not realize it, but you have had an incredible
impact on our lives here at Natures Pathways. By reading the
magazine and sharing your knowledge with others, youve
helped put Southeast Wisconsins focus where it should be:
on living a healthier, better life. You are an inspiration.
Thats what makes this announcement especially tough:
This is the last issue of Natures Pathways Southeast Wisconsin. As you might know, Natures Pathways publishes two
additional magazines in South Central Wisconsin and
Northeast Wisconsin. Due to several factors outside our
control and despite our best efforts, we simply cannot support
three magazines at this time. And while we hope to return to
you in the future, we must bid you farewell for now.
Rest assured, youll still be able to find great articles,
features and advice at www.NaturesPathways.com and in our
South Central and Northeast Wisconsin print magazines.
And while well miss you dearly, we hope its not for too long.
We plan to return to Southeast Wisconsin as soon as possible.
In the meantime, thank you for letting us serve you and the
amazing community youve helped create.

Myrrh, specifically Commiphora myrrha,
contains a high percentage of natural compounds
(furanoids) that are typically associated with phototoxicity, yet
myrrh is not phototoxic. In fact, the cones worn by ancient Egyptians, as pictured in their hieroglyphics, are actually cones of fat.
The fat is saturated with myrrh oil. As the fat melted, it ran down
over the face and body of the Egyptian to protect him from the
sun and to repel insects.
What a great ingredient for a natural pet sunscreen and insect
repellent! Myrrh protects the skin from ultraviolet rays, instead of
causing a burn! Use a drop for under eye wrinkles and puffiness
when traveling or even daily at home!
Myrrh is in the frankincense family and is steam-distilled from

Taurus
Lets get
physical
Dates: April 20 - May 21
Ruled by: Venus
Element: Earth
Last month, fiery Aries renewed our impulse to assert our spirit
into the world. Now, Taurus grounds that intention into the physical, starting with the denseness of our bodies, extending out to all
the practical, physical resources we need, and reaching further to
that which we want and desire. Thank you, Taurus, I needed that.
Our inner Venus, ruling Taurus, responds to our earthy existence, and based on our likes and dislikes, needs and wants, pleasures and displeasures, it forms our values. It is our values that
give shape to our life. When we know and commit to our values,
we can infuse our Martian vitality into the physical resources that
Venus attracts to us, thus creating that which pleases us. Through
planting, building, business, artistic expressions, and relationships, we increase our sense of abundance and physical security. Tauruss spiritual intention is to build our commitment to
the physical world, rewarding our limited senses with delightful
expressions of how spirit can express sacred beauty and love into
physical form.
In the Taurus part of our humanity, we learn loyalty, patience,
gratitude, persistence, endurance, commitment and forgiveness.
If conscious, we grow our self-worth and self-resourcefulness.
We take action slowly, deliberately, honoring others needs, but
respecting their boundaries and our own. We feel awareness and
gratitude for Mother Earth, value our bodies, and enjoy the pleasures of our five senses. Fully conscious, we realize that the physical is only a reflection of the spiritual, and our values evolve to the
intangible qualities of spirit, which then guides us to infuse our
physical creations with love and beauty.
Our unconscious Taurus, by leaning too much into self and
10
insensitivity to others, can let our need for physical and emotional
security turn into attachment and accumulation, jealousy and
possessiveness. Our need for self-worth can turn into stubbornness and greed; our enjoyment of pleasure turn into excessiveness
and addiction.
Our Taurus ego, if wounded in youth, can feel a lack of our needs
being met, or being unvalued by others, or not knowing our
own values, or not being good enough, perhaps physically. This
can result in a drive to prove our worth through accumulation
of wealth or enhanced attractiveness. We can also have ongoing
insecurities that wealth, relationships and pleasures can never fill.
As an alternative, we might deny our physical existence by
attempting to extinguish our desires, living celibate, and repressing our natural creative talents and gifts by living out a severe
and fixed routine. Or to the same end, we might devote ourselves
to others, denying our own needs. These strategies continue the
wound and lead to disappointment and resentment, deepening
the experience of neglect and unworthiness.
To heal and evolve your Taurus self, ask this: Do you know your
own values, and are you willing to assert boundaries around
yourself to help you uphold those values? Do you feel worthy of
your needs and desires? Can you give yourself or ask for what you
want without feeling selfish? When you feel stubborn, jealous, or

ore work done flat on your back is out; core work where
360 degrees of your core can be accessed is in. Plank is
the new situp.
Plank is an empowering position where your core can be fully
accessed and utilized; a position in which gravity and your own
body weight can be your best friends. Instead of cranking on your
neck and upper back as in a situp, Plank can teach you how to
hold up your own body weight by using your core and working
from the inside out.
Plank is a challenging pose, but for many for the wrong reasons.
As a fitness professional, I often hear things like My wrists hurt,
My lower back aches, I cant hold this very long, or I see questionable if even effective variations of Plank, mainly because
students often lack the true understanding of how to use their
bodies in a pose like Plank to build strength and effectiveness.

the pelvic floor, feeling as though they are being drawn internally toward the crown of your head.
4. Exhale. Step back one foot at a time, without moving or shifting your body backward or your hips upward.
5. Coming off your knees, align your body into one long line.
6. Keeping your neck long, let your eye line drop to the floor
between your hands.
7. Exhaling, actively press your quadriceps upward into the
hamstrings while engaging your inner thighs; activate your
abdominals toward your spine, against gravity. Finally, allow
your tailbone to drop slightly (due to the strength of the core),
instead of turning up.
8. Inhale. Press up through your arms and down through every
finger and your palms to push out of your shoulder and
broaden your upper back. Note: Avoid winging in the scapula
and over-rounding in the mid-spine.
9. Extend from the heels of your feet to the crown of your head.
10. Hold this pose for five breaths to one minute.
11. Exhale. Release to your knees and drop back to your heels.
No matter where you are starting from, Plank is a powerful corestrengthening pose and one that can and should be incorporated
into everyones fitness routine.

The most
important part of
a massage: Feeling
comfortable
Dont let negative body image
stand in the way of your health!
By Rob Reader
I REMEMBER THE day a client came in and sat down, took off
her high heels and just looked at her feet.
Do you work on feet? She asked rather timidly.
I almost had to suppress a laugh. Of course I do. I wouldnt be
much of a massage therapist if I randomly excluded parts of the
body, especially ones as important as the feet.
She wasnt embarrassed about how her feet looked but more
concerned for me and my opinion of them. She knew that some
people get uncomfortable touching someone elses feet or think
feet are gross and didnt know if I was one of those people. It
turned out her feet had been cramping and in pain for some
time and only now that the pain had gotten so bad was she able
to summon up the courage to ask me to work on them. I reassured her to always feel confident about telling me about where
she would like me to work.
When consulting with a massage therapist, your therapist
should never have a negative attitude toward one of the most
important parts of the body or any part of the body.
As licensed massage therapists we do not judge. We are not
there to comment on your fashion sense or what shape your body
is in, or whether or not your toes are painted or if your legs are
shaved or not. Its not our business and none of our concern. Our
concern is for your well-being and to make sure you are happy
with the massage you are getting and the results of our work.
As massage therapists, we want you, the client, to feel comfortable and safe while we work on you. That includes not feeling
embarrassed or apprehensive about a birthmark or scar. As a
matter of fact, we can help with scars: both softening them up and
reducing redness. Always alert your massage therapist of any scars
you may want him or her to work on. You never know when that
therapist can reduce its visibility and increase its elasticity.
Our bodies are incredible machines and every part is as important as another. When you go to a massage therapist for a massage,

How to find
your passions
and
purpose
By Lucas J. Robak
Passions
Your passions, what you truly love to do above all else, answer
the question of what you do. When you have a strong feeling of
enthusiasm or excitement for something, your actions will be in
alignment with your emotions. What you do with your passion is
vital to your health, happiness and fulfillment.
Many success books one of which is Think and Grow Rich
by Napoleon Hill detail how being passionate and enthusiastic
drastically outweighs credentials, knowledge and experience. If you
were to hire someone for a position, would you rather hire someone
Breastfeeding that is

Our passions are with us since birth. Just like our life purpose, we
dont choose our passions; our passions and purpose choose us. I
cant tell you why I am passionate about writing, speaking, coaching, creating or helping others improve their lives. All I know is
that I am naturally drawn to do these things and that, unlike most
people, I allow them to happen.
Many people avoid or lose their passions because of negativity
they received from their parents, teachers, coaches and neighbors
while growing up. Another reason is fear of being ridiculed or
considered an outcast in our society.
To find your passions, start looking back on your life and determine what it is you absolutely loved to do. Start with your earliest
memory and go through grade school, high school, college, young
adulthood and present day. Your passions are what you love to do
so much that you would do them for free.
Purpose
Your purpose is why you exist, why you get up in the morning,
why you say yes to one thing and no to the next; its why you do
everything you do.
What is your purpose for going to school? For going to work? For
getting married and having kids? For pursuing your dream? For going
to a meeting? For watching a certain show? For reading this article?
Drs. Patrick Hill and Nicholas Turiano conducted a 14-year
study with over 6,000 people to determine effects on having a life
purpose. Within those 14 years, inevitably there were people who
would pass away. About 9 percent of the sample group died and
they all were the ones who reported a lower purpose in life.
Our findings point to the fact that finding a direction for life,
www.naturespathways.com
and setting overarching goals for what you want to achieve can help
you actually live longer, regardless of when you find your purpose,
Hill states.
The Association for Psychological Science found similar outcomes:
Greater purpose in life consistently predicted lower mortality risk
across the lifespan, showing the same benefit for younger, middleaged, and older participants across the follow-up period.
Meaning, it does not matter how old you are, by having a sense of
purpose you will live a longer, happier, healthier and more fulfilled life.
Just like your passions, your life purpose comes from within. It
is something that has always been there. We simply ignore both
of them sometimes because our parents, teachers, coaches and
neighbors fed us their limiting beliefs in hopes that we would
conform with the rest of society and do what we are told: Go
to school, get good grades, get a good job with benefits, work for
someone else, get married, and hope to retire before you die with a
pension or Social Security. Bob Schmidt
You can find your purpose within the keywords of your passions.
When looking at your passions, ask yourself these two questions
repetitively: For what purpose? and For what intention?

THE CONSULTATION
There is typically the new familys home,
for a multitude of reasons that promote
long-lasting
results
when it comes to
breast-feeding a satisfied and healthy baby. To
truly understand all of the
circumstances
surrounding them, Nancy likes seeing
mother and child in their environment. She does so to not only
ensure that she has every piece to
the puzzle, but theres also a significant
sense of convenience and ease that is
priceless for new moms.
Its just easy to not have to deal with
bundling the baby up and bringing them
into the hospital, Nancy says. Also, if
someone is able to breast-feed in an
office, its not the same thing as knowing
theyre able to do it at home, which is
where theyll be the majority of the time.
The environment in which a new
mother breast-feeds is important. Nancy
suggests starting with a comfortable
place like a sofa or chair with armrests.
Its easiest to place pillows to help hold
and support the baby correctly, while
not becoming tired during the process.
Another worthwhile component is new
moms being able to slow down and relax
during this time.
You also want to create a very nice,
relaxing environment, Nancy says. As
far as sounds go, some women watch TV
shows and others play soft music. Whatever is going to soothe mom is going to
soothe baby.

Do you think

By Dr. Joanne Flanagan
response if you were in real serious danger, but it is counterproductive in our daily activities.
The repeated and unnecessary triggering of this response
causes the body to produce emergency chemicals (which includes
the flow of adrenaline), and if unused, these chemicals eventually begin breaking down into other more toxic substances. The
body must then mobilize yet again to get rid of the poisons, which
creates enormous physiological stress. As you can see, this downward mind/body spiral can continue almost indefinitely. When
it has gone on for a while, we call it depression. Life is stressful
enough, so who needs the extra weight of a negative thought?
Through our many experiments, we have found that when a
person is having a negative thought, they can hold on to an Equilibrex Pendent, and the effects of that thought will lessen. The
energy balance of the body regains equilibrium.

well encounter great wonders, from Pacific redwood forests to southwestern red rocks, Niagara
Falls to the Canadian Rockies. But, we also savor
a farm-fresh breakfast in an Amish home, jig and

family at their authentic Hill Country dude ranch.
And new for 2015: Our GET ACTIVE Tours, for
travelers seeking a more physically active or experiential style of vacation, get you off the coach for a
