We just celebrated our monthly wedding anniversary with a picnic at Moss Landing Beach, north of Monterey CA. We had beautiful lines of pelicans and other great sea birds flying overhead the whole time!
  
By the ocean there are good vibes. That's one reason it feels so good. Read on to find out why France has abandoned WIFI in schools and how to get that kind of ocean-side benefit even when you are at work, at home, in the car, or at school.
  
Next, what is the influence on us, especially our children, of the ever increasing portrayal of violence in movies, TV, video games, and news feeds? Can we ignore it?
  
 No WIFI for French Students       
                              
Following a recommendation of an advisory panel to the European Union advising caution with regard to exposing kids to WIFI radiation, France has just ordered that WIFI not be available in France's school system.
  
Many other countries are taking a second look at this new technology and its effects on human health and well-being. So far, the United States has lagged behind in this kind of investigation, while cell towers proliferate like giant mosquitoes across the landscape.
  
Yet research and studies are accumulating across the world reporting dramatically increased incidents of depression, anxiety, confusion, immunity and allergy issues, and even cancer, in areas where WIFI has been newly introduced. 
  
This really should come as no surprise. As a living creature on this earth, humanity has never before been exposed to this kind of energy in this concentration. The ability to communicate by waves has been growing ever since we discovered radio waves, but this new generation of microwaves takes us to a whole new level of exposure to vibes alien to life.
  
Back in the mid-70s I was reading about the deleterious effects of high voltage and ultra high voltage transmission lines and their effects on humans, farm animals, plants, and school students. It turned out many schools were placed near the lines, where land was cheap. Those teachers who taught in the classrooms closest to the lines, and their students in those classrooms, had a significantly higher incidence of cancer than those at the other side of the school further from the lines! Other studies confirmed negative impacts. There were reports from farmers of increases in cow infertility and birthing mishaps and more.
  
As young lawyers, my husband and I contributed to the efforts to inform the public, regulatory groups, and the courts about the risks to health of humans and farm animals and plants of these alien electrical fields increasing all around us. As a result, a wider swath was required for the right of way for the lines, and hopefully fewer people were exposed.
  
Meanwhile, we had bought an old farmhouse in northern New York State and when we rewired it, we minimized the wiring to avoid unnecessary exposure. And we decided not to add a concrete basement so we could get the natural energy of the earth up through our house. Visitors actually asked us why they felt so energized and relaxed in our new home!
  
Now we have gone way beyond too much electricity in our lives. Every school thinks its teachers and students have to have WIFI waves going through them all the time, so that they can have easy access to the Internet. But many parents are tearing their hair out over the emotional and physical problems their children are facing, without knowing why.
  
My father was a physician specializing in infertility problems. Today he would be the first to say keep the phones away from your reproductive organs. But what about all the young people who carry their phones everywhere and even if they don't, are still exposed constantly to WIFI waves?
  
There are now shields you can put on your cell phone to minimize your personal exposure. Waveshield.com, for instance, has inexpensive devices. I interviewed the inventor of Waveshield and you will find the interview on my website at www.randyrolfe.com.
  
But what about the WIFI everywhere? How can we protect ourselves? We can avoid using WIFI in our homes unnecessarily, both our cell phones, our notepads, and so on. We can turn off our home WIFI at night. But this is just to minimize exposure. Is there a way to counteract these harmful energies, by restoring the life-supporting energies of nature? 
  
There is a way to help counteract these foreign vibes coming at you all the time. There are a number of companies which promote this medallion or that bracelet to help protect you.
  
But there is only one company which has dedicated itself for the past 38 years to finding out exactly what energies our bodies rely on from nature and exactly how to return those energies to our personal environments, without requiring us to give up our modern way of life. That company is, you may have guessed it if you are a regular reader of this newsletter, NIKKEN.
  
By creating your own micro-environment with products which replicate the energies of nature, many of the ill-effects of alien energies can be prevented or corrected. Only NIKKEN incorporates into its products the earth's natural energy of magnetism, the sun's natural life-giving vibrations of the far-infrared spectrum, and the beneficial effects of natural negative ions in the air to create the ideal micro-environment.
  
When we go to the forest, the ocean, or the mountains, we feel these energies renew and invigorate us. Now you can feel that way wherever you are, in the office, at your desk, in the car, in your bed, or on the go.
  
In addition, NIKKEN has pioneered a full-spectrum non-flickering light which accommodates for the excessive yellow of indoor lighting. And NIKKEN has a superior line of nutritional products which are formulated deliberately to align with the natural functions of the body.
  
Many thousands of people have reported feeling more energized, more mentally alert, less depressed, less anxious, less frequently sick, and more rested and resilient, yes even happier, once they have what NIKKEN calls a Nikken Wellness Home.
  
We have had our Nikken Wellness Home for over 15 years and feel we have literally stopped the clock on aging, and in some ways turned it back! Isn't it time you looked in to starting your Wellness Home?

Violence Imitated?
karate-mask.jpg 
When I was a child, my parents limited the amount of time my siblings and I could spend watching The Three Stooges, because they noticed that we were more aggressive and careless with each other's space after a bit too much watching.
  
I knew at the time they were absolutely right. We were definitely tempted to imitate the slap stick behavior of those wonderful comedians. Of course it was much easier for me to notice it in my siblings than in myself!
  
When I had my own children, I did the same thing. When I saw them acting more aggressive towards each other after exposure to rough friends or violent media, I reminded them that imitating these behaviors was not acceptable and that exposure would be limited if they couldn't keep the bad models in their place, as bad models.
  
How many wives have noticed that after watching a football game their husbands just aren't quite as gentle and understanding as before?
  
Yet today there seems to be a public debate still, about whether exposure to violence foments violence. Surely each person has a limit to how far they will go even if exposed to frequent exhibitions of violence. But no one knows those limits in each person's case, even the person themselves.
  
Images of violence sell. Such images sell news, books, videos, video games, TV shows, toys, and even military service and political campaigns. The thing is, violence is big business. The debate will continue because too many people have too much at stake to admit that constant exposure to violent images creates a more violent society.
  
It may come down to how you think humanity is put together. If you assume we are violent creatures restrained by civilization, then maybe you assume our defensive, aggressive posture is the norm and violent images aren't really a problem, they just help people "let off steam."
  
But if you think like I do that humans are basically social creatures who want to get along with the people around them and who only resort to violence when they are put in some kind of fear, real or imagined, then violent images are playing upon our fears and provoking a more fearful, defensive and aggressive approach to life than would otherwise be achieved by civilization.. Which is a sad way to be.
  
Surely we get an adrenaline rush from a fast paced movie, an engaging video game, or an egregious news story. But as Popeye said, Too much is enough! There are lots of other ways to feel alive, enlivened, and excited.
  
Studies have shown that the more children watch violent shows the more they assume that the world is a violent place and that their own lives are at risk. Isn't that enough to suggest that they are put in fear and are more likely to feel attacked or react defensively in any given situation? Do we want their reactions to be skewed in the direction of fear, instead of realistic assessment and problem solving?
  
I urge parents to carefully monitor their children's exposure to violence. And when the children are exposed, talk with them about how frequent or infrequent that particular kind of behavior is likely to be, and where and when. tell them how you feel about it. Let them be tempted to imitate your model instead of the one on the screen.
  
Likewise, monitor your own exposure to violence. If you are addicted to crime scene shows, you may find that you are a bit more anxious and wary when driving or quicker to take offense at others' behavior.
  
Or if you watch the violent headlines on the evening news, or streaming on your computer or smart phone, you may well make assumptions about the overall state of the world which will make you feel less secure in your own surroundings. Many adults find they sleep better and are more optimistic in the morning if they skip the late night news.
  
Surely self-defense training is worthwhile and realistic awareness of the risks around you is valuable. But constant exposure to the worst of the behaviors of humanity is a burden we can do without. Out of over 7 billion people interacting on this earth, there are bound to be aberrant, abhorrent events happening daily. It does us little good to be familiar with all of them.
  
It is actually that much more important that we be the ones who try to add understanding, patience, respect, and a sense of security and comfort to the relationships around us over which we have some control.
  
The key is to know yourself and monitor your own behavior. If too much exposure puts you in a bad mood, skip it next time. And invite your loved ones to do the same.
  

Thank you for helping us to get the word out about how to create a happier, healthier planet with happier, healthier people.
