Water
The Essential Nutrient

Drinking water is one of the most effective ways to help ensure good health. Water maintains and regulates the body's systems and acts as a preventive measure against common ailments. The body uses water along with food as fuel to keep it up and in good running order. Water lubricates joints and organs, maintains muscle tone, keeps skin soft, regulates body temperature, filters out impurities and keeps our minds alert. It also carries important nutrients such as calcium, sodium and potassium to cells.

The symptoms of dehydration range from light-headedness to headaches, dizziness, premature fatigue, nausea and vomiting. A slight water deficit of only one quart slows blood circulation and reduces concentration.

Understanding Dehydration: Dehydration has been found to be the foremost cause for a vast number of health problems, from headaches to herpes, and ulcers to asthma. Learn how to recognize if you are dehydrated and how drinking may be contributing to your health problems. For more info, see our section on WATER.

	Understand the true health benefits of water.

Earth
Essential Grounding

	Virtually everything we do is possible because we are connected to the surface of the earth. Without our connection to the earth, there would be no way to even turn around and look behind us. Imagine being suspended in mid-air like an astronaut; without touching an object of much greater mass, you would be helplessly imprisoned in a sea of air. Most of us move through the day without any idea that our muscles have contracted in such a way as to shift our center of gravity toward our head. This makes us somewhat top-heavy and vulnerable to falls and other trauma caused by improper tension as we compensate for a higher center of gravity. Gravity and magnetism are the two consistent forces in the universe and should be viewed as our allies as we move through our lives. Gravity is not our enemy as long as we understand its value to us and our responsibility for using our mind and body in maintaining vibrant health. At the conclusion of the course, as a participant you will:
	Be able to demonstrate how to move your center of gravity by using your intent.
	Learn ways to protect against the potentially harmful affects of negative energy.
	Learn how to use grounding as a means to discharge negative energy from within the body.
	Demonstrate the importance of maintaining alignment with gravity sitting, standing and moving.
	Know the three junctions of the body that rob us of energy when miss-aligned with gravity.
	Demonstrate the remarkable strength and power that comes from using gravity as an ally.
