100 Benefits of Meditation.

Explore the advantages of Meditation.
Meditation is also completely FREE! It requires no special equipment, and is not complicated to learn. It can be practiced anywhere, at any given moment, and it is not time consuming (15-20 min. per day is good). Best of all, meditation has NO negative side effects. Bottom line, there is nothing but positive to be gained from it! With such a huge list of benefits, the question you should ask yourself is, “why am I not meditating yet?”

Team Project!

Festival of Lanterns, Fire and Fireworks.  Celebrating 20years at the Arts Station.  We went to the Arts Station to try our hand at making lanterns for the November 20th parade of light!  All fingers and toes... but fun was had by everyone.

There we were, deep in the creative spirit.  No one had done this before, but the creative process is a wonderful thing.  A problem leads to a design of magic.  Surrounded by inspiration, we pressed on.

Glue, tissue and bamboo were flying around the table.  Oz Parsons, Art Station Adminstrator, kept stressing the lack of time as there were only 2 more sessions to complete a lantern.  The pressure was on!  Little Ruby, 4 years old, wanted to make an owl.  Kaya of 9, suggested that would be too complicated.  To which Ruby replied, "Well, then I'll make a baby owl!"  Kids are brilliant! 

We continuted to race the clock.  But even with that in mind, Sunday is detail day.  The parade will be spectacular, there were a lot of talented people there and the creations are amazing!  It was so enchanting to see the light added to these masterpieces.  Amazing work!

Thanks to Lesley Graham for all her hard work in organising this project.  We look forward to seeing the parade light the streets on Nov. 20th.

Nov. 20th was a chilly one, but there was a great a great turn out and the lanterns looked amazing.  Check out the fire throwers in action!

Bruce Lipton on Conscious Parenting

Bruce Lipton is the author of "Biology of Belief".  Bruce Lipton is an internationally recognized authority in bridging science and spirit. He has been a guest speaker on dozens of TV and radio shows, as well as keynote presenter for national conferences.   Learn more on how what we think effects every cell in our body.   Dr. Lipton has discovered genes and DNA do not control our biology; that instead DNA is controlled by signals from outside the cell, including the energetic messages emanating from our positive and negative thoughts. Dr. Lipton’s profoundly hopeful synthesis of the latest and best research in cell biology and quantum physics is being hailed as a major breakthrough showing that our bodies can be changed as we retrain our thinking.  Check http://www.brucelipton.com for more information on this fascinating topic.

Evolve Ink's Meditation Courses Starting Soon.



Hi everyone

I am pleased to be offering a variety of interesting workshops for November and early December.   Below you will see an offering of workshops ranging from Meditation to general Self Awareness/Health & Wellness.  Some are only a few hours, others are a series in the afternoons or evenings over the course of several weeks.  Some are complimentary while others have a fee but are eligible for the “Evolve” 2 for 1 Community Coupon offer.     

In 2010 I have had the good fortune to train at the Chopra Center (Dr. Deepak Chopra) in California several times and I am delighted to share with you their fascinating teachings particularly in the field of meditation.  The many benefits of meditation have been understood by practitioners for thousands of years.  Science is catching up to prove its merits to the masses and can now explain how it changes brain chemistry along with body physiology.  This is why it is now being used in the field of medicine to support heart patients, pain management, people suffering from anxiety, insomnia, feelings of depression and STRESS to name a few. 

I can personally attest that meditation is hands down the most powerful daily habit I have ever incorporated into my life affecting my mental, emotional, physical, spiritual, professional and financial wellbeing.  

New York Times best selling author and heralded global pioneer of Mind-Body Wellness Deepak Chopra declares,

“if there is one thing you do to increase your overall health and wellbeing-LEARN & PRACTICE MEDITATION!”

This is the perfect time of the year to settle into the comforts of indoors and to make time to reflect and recharge your battery by taking a workshop before the excitement of Christmas, ski season and the New Year is upon us.

These months also represent 2010 coming to a close along with new beginnings for 2011 emerging.  With that timing we naturally often reflect upon how the year has gone so quickly, what did we do, what didn’t we do, what do we want the new year to bring and to create for ourselves?  Improved health, peace of mind with finances, greater connections with others, less stress-more fun, life balance, new work opportunities along with many other goals are often top of the list. 

But what will make these goals and efforts more successful than in the past?  How can we stop the cycle of circling around the same unmet wants & concerns over and over?  How can you end 2010 on a high note and set yourself up for an amazing 2011?  

Consider you must try something different to have different results.  Give yourself permission to try something new. 

“You miss 100% of the shots you don’t take”  Wayne Gretzky

Gallop poll studies indicate that individuals double their rates of success

by joining a group where all participants share similar goals.

I invite and encourage you to join me for a workshop to renew and refresh your energy, outlook and goals.  And to experience first hand the powerful benefits (see below) journeying into greater self discovery can bring to you.  Learn how fun, inspiring, supportive and effective group workshops are. 

Bring a Friend and you both will Save 50% off workshops with the “Evolve” Fernie Community Coupon

Chiropractic BioPhysics

Chiropractic BioPhysics®, or CBP®, is, in short, a higher level of chiropractic. It is a more knowledgeable, comprehensive, systematic, scientific approach to chiropractic, that provides predictable results for patients and will contribute to building a more stable and successful chiropractic practice. Support for this claim includes a considerable amount of data from research, the experience of numerous flourishing CBP® practitioners, and the longevity of the approach. CBP® combines standard chiropractic joint adjustments with mirror image® (opposite position) postural adjustments, mirror image® spinal/postural exercise, and mirror-image® traction to provide more permanent relief and improved health for patients through spine and postural correction.  See http://www.idealspine.com/ for more information.

Dr. Mike Rumpel continues to learn as he participates in CBP training.  This speciality takes two years to complete and is done in stages.  On November 11-15th Dr. Mike will be in Toronto completing level three, learning more to serve his clients better.

Client Appreciation Week

October 12 - 14 2010 was our Client Appreciation Week at Elk Valley Family Chiropractic.  We value and appreciate all our clients and want them to know it!  By creating a healthy community, we can enjoy our family, friends and so many more activities.

This is our Gratitude Tree.

We asked all our clients to write on a leaf anything they are grateful for.  Some clients had such a long list they used many leaves, or put a lot of information on one leaf.  Sadly, there are some people who have never thought of things that way.  We tend to forget to think of good things that happened in a day, from simple things like coming home to dinner made, or finding a five dollar bill in your pants pocket.  We should pause and reflect on all the good in our lives.

Our Client Appreciation Week always includes food, good quality food thanks to Cincott Organic Cafe, conveniently located two doors down.  Cindy and Scott work hard to produce organic food and run an organic market.  They are one of only 3 certified organic restaurants in BC. Check them out at http://www.cincottmarket.com/ or find them on Face Book.

We had 3 prizes to be won.  Blair Crosby at Kinesis was generous to donate an initial consultation
An exercise program is tailored for you that provides many levels of functional training. With an assessment, imbalances and deficits in the body are identified and exercises prescribed that include:

• Stretching
• Core function
• Resistance training
• Energy building

Check out Kinesis at http://www.kinesislifestyle.com/

A one hour massage by Cori Watson.  She is new to massage, but not new to Fernie.  Watch her practice grow.
And we can't forget a movie night at the Vogue Theatre.  Movie for 2 with popcorn and drinks.http://www.ferniemovies.com/ always an enjoyable evening.

The Winners are:
