SEND CHEO YOUR PRESS & WE’LL POST!
Sue Gridley,
PhD is new
to the area - joined CHEO Board - and is doing amazing things
both with us and with educating the public.
She writes: Should we send links like this
(article featuring her Energy Medicine Classes) to more CHEO people?
Should we start sharing press we get, maybe putting links on
the website? We could also have links about classes we're taking or
certifications we're working towards--something that keeps as many
people as possible in the spotlight as learners and doers. And then
educators as is in our mission. Sue
(NOTE:
Website is VERY OPEN to sharing Press and Info!!)

Chattanooga Board Member
and CHEO monthly spotlight Feb 2010:
Sue Gridley, PhD
 I'm
doing the Energy Medicine for Women Study Group on the
first Thursdays of the month from 2-4 PM in Rising Fawn. I would
consider doing another study group in Chattanooga if there was a
place with a TV/DVD I could use and enough folks to make a good
class. I usually charge $20/person/study group meeting. I just
finished a two part Introduction to Energy Medicine at Lookout
Mountain Holistic Center.
I can do that, too. It takes about 4 hours in either one or
two sessions. If a group presents the Intro, I
can give a flat fee. Otherwise, there would be a charge per
person. |
Here's a fun article on Sue's new Energy Medicine Classes
in the Dade/Trenton Sentinel: |
Energy Class Focuses On Restoring Harmony
www.dadesentinel.com/content.aspx?module=ContentItem&ID=165929&MemberID=1338
2/24/2010 By: Robin Ford Wallace, Staff Reporter
Five women stand in their socks on Sue
Gridley’s dining room floor, thumping their chests, massaging their
temples, throwing their hands into the air.
Dr. Gridley herself regards them
approvingly, occasionally adjusting somebody’s posture or pinching
somebody’s armpit. “You’ve got to be grounded,” she tells a woman.
“If you’re not grounded, everything gets screwed up.”
So she removes a large stainless steel spoon
from a decorative fabric bag and scrapes it across the woman’s
instep.
What’s going on here? It’s called energy
medicine, and if you don’t know what that is, here’s how Dr. Gridley
described it in a subsequent interview. “It is the oldest, safest,
least invasive form of healing on the planet.”
Though some may dismiss energy medicine as a
New Age notion, it’s been around a good 5000 years in the Orient and
has been practiced in the
United States for several decades anyway, says Dr. Gridley.
The discipline evolved, she explains, around
the Asian concept of chi. That’s pronounced “chee,” and it’s
spelled qi or ki in different parts of the East, where
it’s also pronounced differently, but in each case it means the same
thing: energy.

NEED HOME FOR
2 FUN & VERY AFFECTIONATE CATS
Tami: I
have two beautiful personable indoor spayed females who I'm
fostering for E Ridge Animal Shelter. First is
Jena
(left) who had 4 kittens at ERAS. Unfortunately, the shelter control
guys put them in separate cages and I ended up at Petsmart in Nov.
2009 not knowing their mother was also available (I would have
brought her and encouraged someone taking a kitten to also take the
mother). When I found out, I called all 3 people who adopted
kittens and not one could take Jena.
 
Since Nov 09,
Jena
has shared space with Josie
(pictured right, at shelter). Jena and Josie now adore one another.
I'm looking for a home for them both (they'd both be great indoors
or indoors/outdoor). They both were spayed in Jan. 2010. And
they’re such sweet loving cats. Josie is a complete doll. So sweet.
They’re both very loving. Fully vetted. House trained. Play
together. Very affectionate!!! And FREE to good home! I
have 3 other indoor cats and 8+ outdoor cats and can’t keep them.
They're best buds now – and since
Jena was separated from her babies, we’re looking for a home
to take them both.

sequence and misspelled though genetics, stress, toxins or
validating misinformation put into our belief system. At this
workshop, we will explore the question – Can we through conscious
intention and the use of sound and vibration, correct some of these
misspellings and therefore create a better quality of life.
Furthermore, can we activate some of the 97% of unused DNA and
access a higher intelligence?

Terry Jeanne, L.Ac., EFT, ADV-CC
creates non-profit: Acupuncture Works
Acupuncture Works, Inc is organized for charitable and
educational purposes to provide medical services, outreach, and
education for needy populations and underserved communities and
medically needy individuals.
We will collaborate with hospitals, clinics, community health
programs, and possibly any other appropriate organization to offer
integrative or alternative healthcare services primarily in the form
of acupuncture therapies. We thusly co-create clinical access
programs in various health related settings which best benefit and
utilize the rehabilitative, supportive, protective, and optimal or
remedial healthful and medicinal aspects of acupuncture therapies.
This institutionalizing of acupuncture healthcare will thusly enable
service of the uninsured, under-insured, and otherwise underserved
people in the community, optimizing care for the medically needy.
Implicit in the creation of said programs is education of
healthcare providers and professionals which will take place in the
form of outreach, in-service training, specially developed
educational media resources and, limited professional internships.
Concurrent with these types of collaboration will be literature
research and survey of both the clinical and scientific
applicability in program development and optimization for our
targeted populations.
Additionally, education and outreach will inform both the
healthcare consumer and allied health community on the
under-utilized and highly beneficial healthcare service of
acupuncture therapies. Consequently we will help form more
effective, holistic, and cost-conscious healthcare systems, or
standard of care, in our communities, the
United States
at large, and possibly even internationally.
Funding of both basic operations and service activities will be
primarily through donation and foundational or grant support yet all
appropriate sources of income will be considered… (please email

CHATTANOOGA - NUTRITION WORLD
EVENTS!!!
Ed Jones of Nutrition World writes:
Greetings
I must take this time to brag that we set an all time record last
Tuesday night with over 300 people attending the health lecture by
Dr Asa Andrew. Dr Asa Andrew is a practicing doctor in Nashville
and labels himself, "America's Health Coach". Dr Andrew also does a
national radio show 5 nights a week teaching principles of natural
health on 102.3 fm at 9:00pm. In listening to him on the radio and
in person, I feel like I am hearing myself talk about holistic
health. He is so convinced that we cause the majority of our poor
health by incorrect choices over the years and the way to fix it is
not through the latest prescription or toxic compound but believes
that healing comes from within by removing toxic compounds and
offering the body a high octane nutrition program, health will
return. The main theme of his lecture was hope and how you cannot
let any one destroy this for you and removing hope can be the
greatest barrier to healing. This can mean doctors, friends, family
and even the internet. At the end, he received a tremendous
applause and all were very pleased. I encourage all to listen
regularly to his radio show to learn more about how to get and stay
healthy.
Upcoming Free Lectures:
We
have 4 health lectures coming in the next months. The details can

modalities students are already using.

LOUISVILLE TN (near Knoxville)
New Moon Fire
Puja:
Sunday,
March 14th, 2010, 7:00-9:00 PM
Location: 2486 Topside Road, Louisville, TN 37777
Cost: $10 plus
Please RSVP to Chris at
hargrovefire368@charter.net so we can clarify whether the
puja will be indoors or outdoors and be sure to have enough supplies
for everyone. We’ll email driving directions if you need them.
A fire puja is a sacred Vedic fire ceremony (homa) for bringing
healing and Divine blessings to all who attend, and decharging
stress and negativity, powerfully charging the soul. Homas operate
by calling upon and working with specific aspects of the Divine
invoked in a sacred fire kindled according to Vedic scriptures.
During
a homa, participants chant certain sacred Sanskrit mantras and make
specific offerings to the fire. The combination of the
transformative power of the fire element with the sacred mantras
creates powerful vibrations that bring benefits to all who attend as
well as the purifying the subtle and physical layers of the
environment. To receive the maximum benefit and healing from the
homa fires, and because of the super-intense energies involved, it's
highly advisable on the actual day of the homa to only eat
vegetarian food and avoid alcohol.
