Software with a Soul?

Trinity (body, mind, spirit) + Infinity = Trinfinity8

When the Shift Doctors first encountered the Trinfinity 8 at a conference in San Diego, we had to wait among throngs of excited people for a demonstration of a powerful new paradigm in subtle energy rejuvenation right across from our Shift Your Life exhibitor booth- Trinfinity8: Software with Soul. The buzz was that Trinfinity8′s (T8′s) advanced subtle energy technology and state-of-the-art programming could bring your body, mind, and spirit into greater alignment and balance; and stimulate your cellular function to a greater level of performance via a crystal delivery system sending streams of algorithmic binary codes to the user through the USB port on a computer. With great skepticism we each had our 15 minute sampling of what this program can do and… WOW! This really is a bio-energetic software system like nothing else we had experienced in our travels and studies on our planet.

Sessions with a Trinfinity8 System can extend far beyond rejuvenation and beautification treatments … they transport you to a powerful, peaceful inner healing place, raising your vitality and radiance to more vibrant levels. It has to be experienced to be understood. Trinfinity8′s rejuvenation technology provides wholeness and wellness, inner and outer peace and beauty, being and becoming your best self on all levels.

Energy Medicine Tips For Sleep: The Key to Health by Melanie Smith, O.M.D.

If you are feeling tired, you are not alone, it is estimated that 50 to 70 million Americans are sleep deprived. Good sleep is by far one of the most critical factors in our overall health. It is also one of the most commonly overlooked and undervalued. For many people, sleep challenges have become a way of life. Chronic tiredness, depression, anxiety and much more have become part of their daily existence. It does not have to be that way, sleep problems are an energetic imbalance that can be resolved. There are many things you can do on your own for better sleep and there are numerous energy medicine approaches that a skilled Acupuncturist or Energy Medicine Practitioner can do to shift your sleepless pattern. Read on and learn more about a “Healthy Sleep Style.”

Why is sleep so important to our overall health?

Our society is sleeping less and less and doing more and more. Energetically, when we are sleep deprived we don’t have all of our resources available to handle daily life challenges. Our judgment becomes impaired and what would have been a minor difficulty (on a good nights sleep) becomes a major issue when we are sleep deprived. Good sleep is a crucial self-care habit that helps our bodies energies run optimally. Other important reasons for a “healthy sleep style,” are that sleep:

Reduces emotional imbalances such as irritability, depression, anxiety

Helps the body to repair and rejuvenate itself

Strengthens the immune system

Enhances alertness, memory, communication and overall mental performance Read More→

PTSD, Trauma & Depression

By Tracy Latz · Comments (1)

PTSD, Trauma & Depression by Tracy Latz, M.D.

Depression is a common problem that can occur following trauma. It involves feelings of sadness or low mood that last more than just a few days. Unlike a blue mood that comes and goes, depression lasts 2 or more weeks. Depression can get in the way of performing activities of daily life, make it hard to function and can cause you to lose your passion for living. It can affect eating and sleeping habits, ability to concentrate, and your confidence or self-esteem.

How commonly does depression follow trauma?

Depression affects almost 1 in 10 adult Americans yearly. Depression is a frequent symptom that occurs following trauma. For instance, a survey of survivors from the Oklahoma City bombing revealed that 23% reported depression after the bombing as compared to 13% of survivors who reported having depression before the bombing. Depression is frequently experienced in people diagnosed with Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD).

What are the symptoms of depression?

Real depression differs from feeling sad in that with a clinical depression the sad, blue, depressed mood or lack of interest in usual hobbies or interests must last for at least 2 weeks and must be accompanied by at least 3 to 4 of the following: significant weight loss or gain, sleep disturbance (increased or decreased), agitation or decreased motor activity, fatigue or loss of energy, excessive feelings of worthlessness or inappropriate guilt, concentration difficulty, and recurrent thoughts of death or suicide.

How are depression and trauma related?

Depression can either “come from out of the blue” or it can be triggered by stressful events such as divorce, loss, or a trauma. Difficulty coping with painful experiences can often lead to intense sadness or depression. Veterans returning from military conflict or a war zone, for instance, may have painful Read More→

We all have our ‘comfort foods’ that we gravitate toward when we are more anxious, tense or fearful. What we may not know is that some of those foods may ultimately make our anxiety worse or put us on a repeating cycle of anxious eating- whereas, other foods can indeed be beneficial. How to know what can help and what might be worsening the situation? Hopefully, this will help clear it up.

11 (+3) Food Tips for Anxiety:

1. Complex carbohydrates (such as whole-grain cereals, breads, pastas and oatmeal) boost our serotonin level in our body in a steady manner. Serotonin levels are often found to be low in people suffering from anxiety and depression. Complex carbohydrates also stabilize blood sugar levels and are a much better choice of food than simple carbohydrates (candy, sweets, sugar) which cause spikes in both blood sugar and serotonin levels that then precipitously drop to induce anxiety again.

2. Vitamin C (found in citrus fruits such as oranges) have been shown to be somewhat helpful in lowering stress hormones in the body and to boost the immune system. One study showed that blood Read More→

Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder (PTSD) is an anxiety disorder that can affect anyone who has experienced a trauma that is outside of a person’s usual life experience. In order to develop PTSD, a traumatic event must be experienced by you first-hand or the traumatic event may have involved another person that is witnessed by you. During this type of traumatic event, you think that your life or others’ lives are in danger. You may feel intensely afraid or feel that you have no control over what is happening around you or to you.

Events that may induce PTSD in some people include: combat or military exposure, child sexual or physical abuse, terrorist attacks, physical or sexual assault, serious industrial or motor vehicle accidents, or natural disasters, such as a fire, tornado, tsunami, volcanic eruption, hurricane, flood, mudslide or earthquake. After the event, you may feel frightened, confused, or angry. If these feelings don’t go away or worsen over time, you may have PTSD. These symptoms may begin to disrupt your Read More→
