From a Facebook post by a friend and colleague: have a look at this material: http://www.medscape.com/viewarticle/751533?sssdmh=dm1.725739
A clear and simple recommendation emerges from this study in Australia: eating a diet with more fruits and vegetables and avoidance of processed foods, fast foods, snack foods improves mental health, i.e. less depression and anxiety.

Shamanism is the oldest spiritual practice on the planet. Through shamanic journeying anyone can learn to connect directly with spiritual wisdom for guidance and healing, for themselves, for others and for the world. One of the principles of shamanic healing is the concept that our difficult experiences, traumas, and disappointments diminish us. We survive these hard situations by giving up a part of our souls. The healing process is one of becoming more whole by reconnecting with our own essence, and stepping into the fullness of our own manifestation.
In this workshop, new participants will learn from the ground up, and those who have already started can deepen and expand their experience and understanding. We will work together:
to create a safe, sacred space for our journeying
to connect to our True Selves, the fullness of who we are
to connect with wise and powerful spirit beings who can protect us from negative energies
to remember our soul's purpose for this incarnation
to heal and move beyond our old wounds
to practice self-empowerment in order to manifest the lives we want to create
to tune into our own source of guidance and connect with wise and compassionate spirit beings
The video is a one hour long compassionate depossession session, including Luminator photos which demonstrate the presence of two of the four intruding beings, and alterations in the patient's emotional and spiritual coherence throughout the procedure.
Individual healing sessions last between 75 and 90 minutes. This will focus on an exploration of the client's inner life through shamanic visioning, removal of negative energies and making relationships with the High Self and with protective, compassionate spirit beings.

The healer who just stares
Today I had the opportunity to work with a patient from out of state. She contacted me because she had been to see a healer who is famous for appearing on stage and simply looking at the audience. Some intuition told her not to go, but she went anyway. After an encounter with the healer close up in a hallway she felt something unpleasant come into her being. She was frightened and upset by this. It did not go away, so she began to consult with various psychics and shamanic healers. Some were able to help her for a short time, but the dark feeling in her persisted. Finally, she contacted me. She was sure that there was an implant in her brain and in her stomach. She could feel this, and was also told this by a psychic. We made a tentative date for me to work on her at a distance, over the phone. She did not keep the appointment. She contacted me later to explain she was terrified and not sure of me, not sure of anything. We made another date, but she missed that one as well. She told me by email that the darkness had completely taken over all of her body. She was losing concentration, getting forgetful. She thought she should get a CT scan to find the "implant" and have it surgically removed.
I told her that most psychiatrists would think she had lost her mind, that this was a delusion, and would give her anti-psychotic medicine, or admit her to a psychiatric ward.
Finally we were able to connect on the phone. I had prepared by calling in my helping spirits, archangels, etc., and during that process received instructions from the Guides about how to proceed.
On the phone, I drummed and prayed to set up sacred space for me and for her and for the link between us. I invoked Divine Love in the form of the Golden Light of Grace. I called in Archangel Michael with his Legions of Light to surround her and to gather up any dark beings who tried to escape as the Divine Light entered her body and energy field. She could "see" with her mind's eye how the angels were doing just that.
Since it seemed to be working, I then asked Michael to send his White light energy into her to remove the dark being who was taking her over, to bind him, and to set up aside about ten feet away from her. Then the archangels continued the cleansing and healing, filling her with Divine Light.
I was able to gather up all the dark beings, send White Light into the one standing off behind her who was directing the dark action, severe the cord connecting him to her and then sent all of this dark menagerie into another dimension far away.
Together, the patient and I were able to visualize the implant in her brain and in the area of the third chakra, extracting these devices with the help of a Power Animal.
Having cleared her and her room in this way of all the dark influence, we then together called in her True Self to re-unite with her and to help her feel her own power. She could feel the peace and comfort as her True Self stood behind her and embraced her. She learned in this way how to call upon her own resources for protection.
She was exhausted from this effort, but elated and feeling light and happy inside.
I am sure that many, if not all, of my colleagues would have thought her to be suffering from a severe mental illness and would have put her on one of the newer anti-psychotic drugs. And the dark beings would still be there, just suppressed a little.
This session happened today, so I do not know how lasting the results are. We'll talk again in a week and see if more work is necessary.
