Om NEWLIFERS, Yogis and Yoginis,
Thank you for making the second annual Yoga & Raw Food Expo an overwhelming success. The energy,
expertise and the knowledge of our exhibitors and speakers left the 5500 participants with a storehouse of
information to play with. You can see some of the TV
coverage of the event as well as video coverage at
www.NewlifeExpo.com.
As usual you can purchase DVD’s and CD’s of all of the lectures, workshops and panels.
After these last two months of rain, I am sure you all want to have more sunshine in
your lives. The articles in this issue deal with the tools to physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually achieve this.
Dr. John Douillard tells us how to heal anxiety and depression while Alicia Boyd shows you how to deal with hot flashes, Dr. Kellman teaches us how to treat a slow metabolism which can cause depression and Mark Mandela’s article on The Moringa Tree, which has the highest known levels of Tryptophan in a plant food, gives us a tool
to treat depression naturally. On the physical side, Peter Goodgold explains why we must drink ionized alkaline water, and Dr. Alpert’s article explains how important it is to eat fermented foods and probiotics so you can build a healthy immune system.
Luckily for me, an incredible natural market has opened in Long Beach. I have
stocked up on the best pickles, sauerkraut, pickled beets and pickled tomatoes. At the expo I bought Zana, a liquid probiotic with five live beneficial friendly flora, which I
have been drinking every morning. Between the Zana, pickles and an incredible colonic with Donna Perrone my intestines must be loving me. In Fact, you can order Zana yourselft by calling Matt at 917-685-2586.
On the yoga side, Michael Stein prepares us for the all-powerful lotus position and
Dharma Mittra gives us guidelines for developing our personal yoga practice.
As usual, enjoy Swami Beyondananda, Joseph-Mark Cohen’s astrology column, Lissa
DeAngelis’s recipes, Tia Sinha’s yoga crossword and Tom Ferraro’s yoga cartoon.
If you have any suggestions or just want to say hello, e-mail me at
mark@newlifemag.com and in the subject heading put newlife.
Both covers in this issue were taken Sunday, June 22 at 10:30am where more than 200 yoga enthusiasts gathered in New York's newly car-free Times Square for a massive
early-morning workout session planned by the Times Square Alliance. Photographs by

And remember… it’s a NEWLIFE!!!
