Wisdom from the Ancient Inca Fosters Life Changes

The Inca believe that we see/know not only through our own senses but also through a universal perception. This perception can allow you to live a life free from the drama, stories and beliefs that you see day in and day out.

The Medicine Wheel, taught by healer Patricia Miller, allows participants to work in Incan shamanic ceremony to journey deep to shed and transform one’s relationship with the past allowing you to step forth into life from a clear clean place.

“Ceremony lifts you beyond ordinary life to discover stillness amid the chaos of life,” says Miller. “Through this stillness you see and transform the roles and beliefs in your life, given to you by both yourself and others bringing them to a place of authenticity.

As your energetic senses sharpen you see from a higher perspective, not just through your personal experiences, beliefs and events.”

Working in this way allows you to choose what and how you will engage in your life. It brings peace in knowing that you are consciously creating your life.

A new Medicine Wheel begins March 4, 2016 in Lebanon, NJ. For more information visit Spirit Flight Sacred Journey’s website: SpiritFlightSacredJourney.com or contact Patricia Miller 908-281-9222.

News Briefs
Tick Talk

Spring officially sprung on March 21. We have turned our clocks ahead. We are looking forward to warm winds, sunny skies and the smell of fresh cut grass. The daffodils and tulips have recently bloomed and we are just starting with the yard work that comes with the warmer weather.  Sadly, another season has started ramping up.  Tick season.

•             The best form of protection is prevention. Educating oneself about tick activity and how our behaviors overlap with tick habitats is the first step.

•             According to the NJ DOH, in 2022 Hunterdon County led the state with a Lyme disease incidence rate of 426 cases per 100,000 people. The fact is ticks spend approximately 90% of their lives not on a host but aggressively searching for one, molting to their next stage or over-wintering. This is why a tick remediation program should be implemented on school grounds where NJ DOH deems high risk for tick exposure and subsequent attachment to human hosts.

•             Governor Murphy has signed a bill that mandates tick education in NJ public schools. See this for the details.  Tick education must now be incorporated into K-12 school curriculum. See link:

•             May is a great month to remind the public that tick activity is in full swing. In New Jersey, there are many tickborne diseases that affect residents, including Anaplasmosis, Babesiosis, Ehrlichiosis, Lyme disease, Powassan, and Spotted Fever Group Rickettsiosis.

•             For years, the focus has mainly been about protecting ourselves from Lyme disease. But other tick-borne diseases are on the rise in Central Jersey. An increase of incidence of Babesia and Anaplasma are sidelining people too. These two pathogens are scary because they effect our blood cells. Babesia affects the red blood cells and Anaplasma effects the white blood cells.

•             Ticks can be infected with more than one pathogen. When you contract Lyme it is possible to contract more than just that one disease. This is called a co-infection. It is super important to pay attention to your symptoms. See link.
