AM asks: “Do you know anything about the Neuro -emotional technique or Neuro emotional component of the triangle of health in Chiropractice?

Make This Summer the One That Changed Your Life!
This year’s Women of Grace® Retreat, which will be held from July 17-19 on the historic 120-acre campus of Orchard Lake Schools in Orchard Lake, Michigan, is the ideal setting for an encounter with the Architect of your life.
Entitled, “My Grace is Sufficient for You: Woman and God’s Divine Plan,” this retreat will feature Johnnette Benkovic, Fr. Philip Scott, FJ and Dr. Monica Miller in an intensive three-day immersion in what it means to be a daughter of God, and how to live out that call in this our day and time. These restful grounds, which were so dear to the heart of St. John Paul II, are the perfect place to escape the world and acquire the spiritual and emotional nourishment you need in order to empower you to engage in the unique cultural battles of our time.
“The Women of Grace Retreat always awakens what has been hiding inside of me,” says Mary Dillenback of Fishers Landing, New York. “I leave with renewed courage and joy – grateful to know I am a daughter of the Most High God and that much closer to who God needs me to be!” The retreat will be preceded by the Benedicta Leadership Institute for Women on July 16 – 17. Johnnette and Dr. Miller will discuss, “The Authority of Woman: Her Influence, Effect, and Power.”

Where is that in the Bible?
Since we began this blog in 2009, I can’t tell you how many times we have received mail from people asking us to show them where we can find a prohibition against yoga, Reiki, and other New Age practices in Scripture. Because it’s not there (of course), the person feels that it is safe to assume no prohibition exists.
NYT Undervalues Women, Not Catholicism
Commentary by Susan Brinkmann, OCDS
The liberal New York Times, which has been “a bastian of male entitlement” since its beginnings, published an article this week accusing the Church of undervaluing women in spite of the fact that their own track record with women is not exactly sterling.
