Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Clinical Hypnotherapist Provides Powerful Video Testimony for ColorAlchemy and Color Therapy

Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Clinical Hypnotherapist Provides Powerful Video Testimony for ColorAlchemy and Color Therapy

Powerful mind, body, spiritual healing testimonial for ColorAlchemy by licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Clinical Hypnotherapist David Swindoll now available to view on YouTube.

(Vocus) September 8, 2009

David Swindoll has been a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist and Clinical Hypnotherapist for over thirty years. He has found the use of ColorAlchemy and color therapy (http://www. coloralchemy. com/) to be highly beneficial in his mental healing practice.

"As patients experience difficulties, they will use color memory (http://www. coloralchemy. com/) to help them beneficially modify behavior for personal growth (http://www. pr-promopro. com/Media/Ideas/spirit. php). I like that it helps them diagnose and it also gives a way to balance and bring about patterns of change that are permanent," says David.

He uses ColorAlchemy by asking patients to identify their favorite colors. These indicate an individual's strengths. Then, by asking them to identify their least favorite colors, he can identify areas that need improvement. For example, a person who dislikes orange may be resistant to change and have a poor sex life. A person disliking yellow may have low self-esteem. Lack of red leads to lethargy. Use of blue leads to a calm focus, and better communication skills.

David applies these concepts to his color therapy program by following Jami Lin's color of the day. Monday is red, Tuesday is orange, Wednesday is yellow, Thursday is green, Friday is blue, Saturday is indigo, and Sunday is violet. "As they use the color of the day, it will help them be balanced in the color of the rainbow through the week," says David. Each day, emphasis is placed on the color, leading to each color's triumph. Red is vitality, orange is creativity, yellow is power, green is love, blue is focus, indigo is intuition, and violet is bliss. "That practice over 21 days will help them be more attuned and balanced and attract a more positive energy for themselves."

Bring about change by adding the needed color on an as-needed basis. Balance out the bad with the good, as a sort of internal Feng Shui exercise. Benefits extend into all aspects of life, including physical health and relationships. Use of color can be the equivalent of medicine. As David says, "It's like taking medicine, in a way, except there is no down side." Jami Lin adds, "There are no side effects or contraindications. There is an endless supply of color and according to ancient healing practices though quantum, energy and body/mind medicine (http://www. pr-promopro. com/Media/Ideas/health. php), it can naturally be called upon when needed."

NOT JUST ANOTHER SUNSCREEN: NEOSTRATA’S NEW DAILY PROTECTION SUNSCREEN (SPF29) CAN BE WORN EVERY DAY – EVEN UNDER MAKE-UP

NOT JUST ANOTHER SUNSCREEN: NEOSTRATA’S NEW DAILY PROTECTION SUNSCREEN (SPF29) CAN BE WORN EVERY DAY – EVEN UNDER MAKE-UP

• Dermatologist-developed Lotion Recommended for Men and Women As Daily Protection from Sun Exposure • Worn Elegantly Under Make-up for Radiant, Attractive Appearance

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

NOT JUST ANOTHER SUNSCREEN: NEOSTRATA’S NEW DAILY PROTECTION SUNSCREEN (SPF29) CAN BE WORN EVERY DAY – EVEN UNDER MAKE-UP

• Dermatologist-developed Lotion Recommended for Men and Women As Daily Protection from Sun Exposure

• Worn Elegantly Under Make-up for Radiant, Attractive Appearance

PRINCETON, N. J. – Now there is an esthetically pleasing sunscreen that goes on smoothly under make-up to protect normal, oily or super-sensitive skin from harmful sun rays during routine daily activities such as commuting, taking a walk, sitting next to your window at work or playing outdoors with children: Daily Protection Sunscreen (SPF29), from the laboratories at the NeoStrata Company, Inc.

“Not all sunscreens are created equally, and this product is particularly appealing since it Is a valuable daily skin treatment that protects the skin from both UVA and UVB rays, while not promoting acne, a common side effect of many sunscreens,” says Eric Bernstein, MD, board-certified dermatologist who uses the product on his own skin and advises women to apply this light, non-greasy lotion daily before putting on cosmetics. “What sets Daily Protection Sunscreen apart is that it contains Parsol 1789® for UVA protection, along with NeoStrata’s patented polyhydroxy acid (PHA), to condition the skin and provide antioxidant protection to minimize wrinkles and premature aging of the skin.”

Powered with the newest FDA-approved UVA sunscreen Parsol 1789® and other key ingredients, including three UVB sun filters, Daily Protection Sunscreen provides broad spectrum, high SPF 29 protection to maintain healthy, younger skin. “Everyone should be applying high SPF sunscreens on a daily basis to protect skin. Women find Daily Protection Sunscreen particularly attractive since it is virtually invisible on the skin and can be used under make-up,” adds Dr. Bernstein. “This is a revolutionary concept in skin health – combining daily sun protection with cosmetic appeal to enhance compliance for use every day.”

And there’s no reason to rush out of the pool – this sunscreen is water resistant and protects the skin after 40 minutes’ immersion in water. Despite its significant water resistant properties and high SPF coverage, Daily Protection Sunscreen is a light, non-greasy formulation that is appropriate for daily use by both men and women. It can be used along with everyday cosmetics and is a perfect complement to other NeoStrata Skin Care products or other topical therapies.

Daily Protection Sunscreen should be applied daily, and while it is water resistant, it should be reapplied after excessive perspiration and extended periods in the water. It is also ideal protection following cosmetic facial procedures including laser, superficial peels, microdermabrasions and exfoliations.

Fragrance free, Daily Protection Sunscreen does not contain oxybenzone or PABA that may irritate skin, or the sunscreen agents titanium dioxide or zinc oxide that can leave an unnatural white cast on the skin. Daily Protection Sunscreen will not promote acne, making it an ideal choice for youths, particularly teens and people in their 20s who are highly concerned about acne breakouts.*

Daily Protection Sunscreen is available through most medical professionals, including dermatologists and plastic surgeons, in a 3.4-ounce flip top bottle at a suggested retail price of $30.00. For more information on Daily Protection Sunscreen, ask your skin care professional, call 1-800-628-9904 or visit www. neostrata. com.

*Use on children under 6 months only with the advice of a physician.

About NeoStrata

Daily Protection Sunscreen was developed by the Princeton, New Jersey-based NeoStrata Company, Inc., the medical communityÂ’s recognized leader in Alpha Hydroxyacid (AHA) formulations. A medically-based dermatological company dedicated to the advancement of skin care and to educating the public about the benefits of AHAs, the NeoStrata Company, Inc. was established in 1988 by Drs.

“With the increase in obesity, more and more Virginians are being diagnosed every day with diabetes. This conference and health fair is a great way to learn as much as you possibly can in one day and in one location from a variety of diabetes experts. We want to help individuals and families living with diabetes to be educated, motivated and empowered to take control of their diabetes,” said Colberg.

The conference session topics include: nutrition; hypoglycemia issues; insulin therapies; and treatments for the effects of diabetes on the heart, nervous system, emotional health and eyes.

A health fair featuring informational exhibits will be open throughout the day. Lunch is included and will feature special guest lunch speaker Missy Foy, ultra-distance runner, and dynamic advocate for people with diabetes, encouraging them to achieve their dreams.

What do Female Entrepreneurs want?

What do Female Entrepreneurs want?

This important question was recently asked by Yvonne Brown of JAD Communications International and Jennifer Wright of Midlife Heroines. Women are the driving force behind new business growth in the United States. Who are the women doing this and why? Women of all ages are sending a message to their employers by walking away from corporate life. Recent studies show that younger women are choosing to work from home to ensure they have a quality of life with their children. Midlife women are heeding their own wake up call to answer an inner passion to “do their own thing” before it is too late.

Chicago, IL (PRWEB) April 19, 2006

This important question was recently asked by Yvonne Brown of JAD Communications International and Jennifer Wright of Midlife Heroines. Women are the driving force behind new business growth in the United States. Who are the women doing this and why? Women of all ages are sending a message to their employers by walking away from corporate life.

Recent studies show that younger women are choosing to work from home to ensure they have a quality of life with their children. Midlife women are heeding their own wake up call to answer an inner passion to “do their own thing” before it is too late.

Yvonne and Jennifer, entrepreneurs themselves, and coaches for women, decided to find out what this target market truly wants. These two entrepreneurs aim to find ways to better serve women by going to the source (the women) and asking them directly. As a preliminary, they went to a 100 women sample. Here are some of the results: The majority of women felt their biggest success came from the use of technology and navigating systems.

Overwhelmingly family responsibilities, lack of focus, time management and time constraints were the barriers to a majority of women’s businesses. What did women say they wanted? Women expressed various needs including ways to find balance, to understand about the financial side of business, to become more confident. This supports various other research that indicate compared to men, women lack confidence in business.

Yvonne and Jennifer have decided to extend their survey beyond this preliminary sample group and are extending it until April 28th, 2006. To help sweeten the pot, they are offering two fantastic prizes for two lucky women who complete the survey. If you are a woman and wish to take the survey visit http://tinyurl. com/emuxx (http://tinyurl. com/emuxx). Winners will be notified after the survey is completed.

JAD Communications International is a resource center for helping individuals, corporations, and organizations maximize the value of their woman constituents. JAD Communications specifically focuses on women’s productivity to help them make bigger contributions, deal with conflict & difficult people, and refine communications to be more productive and contribute more to your bottom line.
