  Hey everyone. I got a short one for you this week.  Our Healthshop on Feb 22nd will be talking about the Heart Sound Recorder. This machine is quite remarkable when it comes to how technology has risen to maximize the effectiveness of checking out the sounds the heart is admitting. Back in the day, the machine used to be the size of a coffee table with 2 rolled up papers on each side of the table. The paper would proceed from one side to the other. There was a needle in the middle of the machine that would work the same way as you would detect earthquakes. The Heart Sound Recorder is going off the vibrations coming from the valves.

Well we will have to dive in a little deeper to understand the why behind that question and how to provide you with much more Energy in your life. The mind is where you will find that answer to why resolutions don't work. The subconscious mind works on habit and these habits control 99% of your life. You have formed habits of how you walk, talk, work, hug, play, and eat.
