A unique view on how to have a long term healthy relationship By Dr. Jeff Lester People commonly repeat the same type of relation- ships in their lives as they witnessed in their parents. The posterior brain holds past memory and programs how we feel and react in our current life. The frontal part of the brain only has 10-20% influence over the posterior brain's feeling and reaction ten- dency. That is why we can often make wrong choices or over-react to stress pro- ducing situations. There is a way to change this. With the use of con- stitutional homeopathic medicines, it is possible to remove unwanted feelings and reaction tendencies from the posterior brain called the limbic sys- tem. This is the secret of living a life full of healthy choices with complete consciousness. Homeo- pathic medicines work by desensitizing the power of these negative memo- ries over our life. When cleared, the conscious part of the brain becomes free to make healthy choices in life, including choosing the right partner. When negative memo- ries are erased from the limbic system people react more patiently and kindly to most life situations. Constitutional homeopath- ic medicines can reduce feelings of selfishness, self-centeredness, need- iness, resentment, anger flares and feelings of being unloved and uncared about. When these feelings remain too strong in the brain, they will commonly ruin a healthy relation- ship. Desensitizing these negative tendencies allows a partner in relationship to react with more positive responses with patience, consideration, willingness to help without being asked, trustworthiness, confidence and long-term loyalty. These important chang- es can also help create healthy relationships be- tween friends, parents and children and employees. When the brain is cleared of negativity people become more motivated to be productive, work as a team and be less concerned with what others are doing compared to one's self. The other great advantage of brain circuit clearing with constitutional homeo- pathic care is improved overall health and slower aging. We often see improved skin, hair and nails after months of treatment. When we feel healthier, we tend to re- spond more positively in our relationships. When pain diminishes, we also become more positive and light-hearted. A significant current problem today is the increasing rise of pancre- atic cancer. This is often based in a deep feeling of resentment about not having enough pleasure in life. There is often an "all work and no play" feeling in the posterior brain. The pancreas is responsible for processing feelings of joy and passion. The less we feel these good feelings, the more we crave fats and sugar in our diet. Each organ in the body has emotional expression that can often be detected through the constitutional analy- sis during the in-depth 90-minute homeopathic interview. The more we can understand the deep feelings within the brain and body prior to pre- scribing a constitutional homeopathic medicine, the more readily the inner negative feelings can be cleared for better health and improved relationships. After the constitutional homeopathic treatment has been correctly applied, we will often see mar- riages improve, families with children find a more peaceful home and children will function better at school. Studies have shown that when a child has been through a significant life stress their ability to learn in school diminishes sub- stantially. When the child undergoes psychological counseling their ability to learn improves. When counseling alone does not make enough significant change then constitutional homeopathic care can ac- celerate the improvement through the process of brain clearing. The homeopathic remedies themselves are natural, FDA approved for use and made, most commonly, from plant or mineral extracts. The key to making the remedies active in clearing brain and bodily circuits is the poten- tization process done in the lab. When applied properly in a "like to like" way, they communicate to the system what needs to be changed. When not applied correctly, there will often be little to no detectable change. For the method to be successful, it is best to seek the advice of an expe- rienced practitioner.

From our Market St. dance hall to the sea life of the Monte- rey Bay, from the Amazon to Shanghai, dancing joins our world in a celebration of joy like nothing else. As our dancing year now draws to a close, let us review our past 12 months of happy progress. In 2021 our Santa Cruz Waltz & Swing made small but valiant growth, launching more people in quantum leaps up to high- er happiness in their lives. Our 2021 footsteps -- stomping, bouncing, gliding, tapping, cha-cha- cha-ing, echo in Market St. Dance Hall, and in our memories. January -- Still in pan- demic lockdown, Mike and I began our second COVID year of SCW&S partnering through the zoom glass. We fiddled with camera angles, sound level, for our weekly Wednesday evening and Sunday sunrise dances. A few local and international guests joined from Ethio- pia, England, New York. A professor in from Shanghai China asked me to teach him the Polka step, so he could teach his students. February –Inspired by the amazing sea life of our Monterey Bay, our lessons learned from one sea creature per week, observing from their squiggly personalities, ways of movement we could imitate in our dancing. First, the playful sea ot- ter, rolling and wiggling in perpetual motion add- ed frolicking movement to our Swing dancing. Next, was the clam. Though anchored in one spot, clams can open and close their hinged shell. Likewise, swing part- ners hinge into open and closed positions. We went on to study the movements of the squid, the starfish, sea lions, jellyfish, octopus, and majestic grey whale. So much we learned from each! May -- After a year of careful COVID quaran- tining, we gladly took the miraculous gift of vaccinations. Thanks to a global army of medical researchers, we are now super-powered against those evil germs. July-- In-person dances re-start! Giggling, we shyly rediscover the delights of pressing flesh palms together. For those of us who kept practic- ing during our 1.5 years Shelter at Home, our partnering skills quick- ly return. New danc- ers joined in this fall, learning Waltz & Swing thrills with us. December – Huzzah! More dance venues re-open. Severino's, Cubberley's Ballroom, Friday Night Waltz -- my social dancing mother ship, a whirling group of genteel waltzers trained by Stanford University's renowned Social Dance teacher, Dr. Richard Powers, himself. At FNW's Christmas Dance I helped check forehead temperatures and vaccination records for more than 200 guests. I noticed most had lost much dancing fitness and I secretly gloated that, thanks to my continued dance practice, I was in better dance shape than many of that younger university crowd. If you are one of those COVID dance dropouts, don't worry. By all means, DO jump back in to dance, after being FULLY VACCINAT- ED, (ahem). You will be warmly welcomed back, along with the 90% of other dance delinquents, to stumble through it together and catch back up again quickly. But, for those few of us who kept it up, yeah, that feels sweet. Then, in a delightful finish to my dancing year, a new friend from Brazil joined our final dance. Af- ter our Waltz, Swing and Polka lesson; she taught us a Brazilian Samba, then an indigenous Ama- zon tribal dance from her area. Awesome! Now time to give thanks. We dancers have so much to be grateful for: "Thank you for remind- ing my family to dance on Thanksgiving. It's become a tradition. We don't Turkey Trot, but we sure dance big time between dinner and pumpkin pie. This year it was raining. 14 of us put on the rain gear, went out on the deck and danced." -- Katherine Beiers, past mayor of Santa Cruz. Mike is thankful this year for "all the golfing and dancing that I do. I'm dancing 6 to 7 days a week, sometimes twice a day. Whenever I'm danc- ing, I turn into a better version of me." I myself am grateful for - my assistant Mike, a treasure, indefatigably positive even when we goof up steps, harmo- nious and friendly who enjoys welcoming new dancers and continually learns new skills. - every dancer who bravely walked through our dance class door, tak- ing that hardest step of all… showing up. - my own progress in developing our dance program…trying many things, learning from our many mistakes with a forgiving audience. Now that we've chron- icled this crazy, 2021 Quarantine Year of partner dancing, Here's my dance predic- tions for the new year. I predict that, armed with vaccinations, our social dance army will contin- ue growing in numbers, health and happiness as a primal outlet of creativity and joy in our lives. So let's sing what we look forward to: In our twelve months of 2022 my partners dance with me: - 12 Viennese Waltz Spins - 11 Redowa leaping - 10 Cupid Shuffles - nine Oslo Waltz Mixers - eight Crazy Swing Moves - seven Tokyo Polkas - six Chaos Mixers - FIVE – GREY – WHALE - TANGOS - four Turning Boxes - three Cowboy Cha-Chas - two NightClub 2-Steps - and "Jerusalema" under a pear tree So there you have our New Year gift of dance to you. From every corner of our planet, undersea crea- tures of Monterey Bay, to Amazon jungle tribes, to Shanghai university halls, dancing connects our spirits in in a kinetic celebration of life, our gift to the world. Jump into the joy with us in 2022.
