However, when it comes to chronic conditions, which require allot of bio energy (chi energy) to facilitate the healing process, a sustained bio energy flow is needed usually over a protracted period of time. This presents a problem for both the healer and the patient.

Based upon this post, Reconnective Therapy allows you to connect with energies of a higher order that actually enhance vitality and move the healing process into top speed.

The reported success with healing chronic conditions is encouraging. I’ll be looking into this wonderful therapy.

I love this article on food in NM and the possibilities of increased economic development for local food businesses in the South Valley through a unified food brand like the one in Boulder Colorado. This article also brings up the current issue of defining what is the appropriate role for local foods in a food system that is not sustainable and beneficial in the short run. In this current food system, our food travels an average of 1500 miles (Barker 1999) and “approximately 7.3 calories are used to deliver each calorie of food for energy,” (Richard Heinberg 2009). This means it takes more energy to make/ produce food per calorie of energy that people get when they eat. The sales pitch in this article is “Imagine all the people….eating NM food,” I must ask is this appropriate? Shouldn’t the title be “Imagine all the people in NM……eating New Mexican food” produced in NM. A recent report from the New Mexico Climate Change Advisory Group estimated that only about 3% of food grown in state reaches the mouths of in-state consumers and Dreaming NM also states that 97% of food in NM is imported. How does your initiative address these issues? I understand the concept and it is wonderful but I am just trying to point out, with our current food system, what is the role of local foods that are trying to economically succeed in this structure. Does this endeavor address fair trade issues and local food needs in NM and the region?
For example, when I visited Houston TX, I ate at a Mexican restaurant. I expected the normal salsa and chips and great chile. Much to my surprise we got a weird tomato mix that tasted like pizza sauce instead. This may be an opportunity that a NM state food brand can take on, by defining what food needs are based on regions close to NM, this may prove to be economically successful and may help to further define what NM’s local food shed is.

The famous 19th century gambling hall of Doña Tules was patronized by soldiers, merchants, traders, conspirators, priests, and dignitaries. This “rags-to-riches” story told from this Spanish woman’s perspective with drama and music that will capture your heart. A Meet and Greet will follow the performance.

This performance is being filmed by students, amateurs and professionals to highlight areas of the forthcoming feature film, “New Mexico, the musical”. The historical musical is being proposed as a supplement to New Mexico’s tourism promotion available in museums, libraries and cultural attractions. Most significantly, it is being developed as enrichment to the New Mexico history curriculum with lesson plans and academic activities for high school and college students.
Had it not been for Doña Tules, the U. S. Army and Colonel Steven Kearny would have been halted in their tracks, not able to proceed to Santa Fe, on their march to old Mexico and California. Governor Manuel Armijo would have retained his power in the Mexican territory. As a gambling hall salon owner on the Santa Fe Trail, Doña Tules came into possession of riches and knowledge, becoming a peddler of influence and indulgences, playing a momentous role in confluence of events that led to statehood, a remarkable accomplishment for an impoverished Hispanic woman while living under the flags of three nations. According to noted New Mexico historian, Marc Simmons, “Doña Tules was the most influential woman in territorial New Mexico.” Now, more than a century later, the time has arrived to pay tribute to Doña Maria Gertrudes Barcello (Tules). Cast and crew auditions are being scheduled to commence this year.
