Heat Up Your Health! News for the Sauna Lifestyle
February 2006

Dear Robert,

Ah, February... the middle of the winter when the excitement of Christmas is past, the thrill of turning the calendar year has diminished, the Chinese New Year has been dually celebrated and we're left wondering a) where on earth did these extra 10 lbs. come from? and b) when will the dark dreary days of February end? (According to Canada's Ground Hog - not for another six weeks! Our American friends have fared a little better.) Thank goodness Valentine's Day is peaking around the corner - chocolate makes everything feel better!

Actually, for those of you who have not turned on the radio, television or opened a paper in the last few weeks, February is "Heart & Stroke Awareness Month". It's wonderful to hear all of the "heart healthy" tips being offered such as: not smoking, eating more fresh (live) foods every day and exercising at least 30 minutes most days. Is this actually NEWS to anyone? Of course, the one key element most are missing is Detoxification of all those stored chemicals and poisons in your system. Well, let's make it our mission in 2006 to yell long and loud that this missing component play a larger role in next year's Heart Disease prevention and reversal messaging.

But enough of the heavy stuff. This month, we're all about love and fun. In honour of Valentine's Day and Heart Month, we're focusing our attention to the age old subject of LOVE; and who couldn't use a little more love in their lives?

Once again, we've scoured the web to bring you news you can use about Love - everything from our Top Ten Love Movies and songs to the ever-popular Cuddle Party to the history of Valentine's Day and the amazing health benefits of - you guessed it - chocolate!

So grab your favourite beverage, sit down and put a little love in your life.

Until next month,

Warmest Regards!

Soleil Saunas

  • One - The Movie

    Early one morning, in April, 2002, a middle-aged father of three from Michigan suddenly awoke from a sound sleep, overcome by a strange compulsion... to make a movie about the meaning of life. What made this so strange, is that he was not a film-maker. In fact, he had no training, education or experience whatsoever in the field. So, he immediately called his cousin and best friend to enlist their help with the project. They eagerly agreed. Problem: They were not film-makers either. Over the next two years, their film-making journey led them to speak with some of the greatest spiritual leaders of modern time. An amazing story of how the Universe will conspire to help you when your vision is strong enough. And how we all truly are One.


    The History of Valentine's Day

    As early as the fourth century B.C., the Romans engaged in an annual young man's rite to passage to the God Lupercus. The names of the teenage women were placed in a box and drawn at random by adolescent men; thus, a man was assigned a woman companion for the duration of the year, after which another lottery was staged. After eight hundred years of this cruel practice, the early church fathers sought to end it... They found an answer in Valentine, a bishop who had been martyred some two hundred years earlier.


    Reiki - The Spiritual Massage

    Reiki is a Japanese technique for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. It is administered by "laying on hands" and is based on the idea that an unseen "life force energy" flows through us and is what causes us to be alive. If one's "life force energy" is low, then we are more likely to get sick or feel stress, and if it is high, we are more capable of being happy, balanced and healthy.


    Midlife Crisis - Will Your Relationship Survive?

    You are in a committed relationship, married or involved on an exclusive basis. You thought everything was glorious. Or, at least as glorious as it gets—all relationships have some rough spots. But now, it seems that you are always fighting. Or he just doesn't act like himself anymore. He doesn't like his job. He wants to sell the house and get a little place in the mountains or a sailboat and sail to the islands. You're too fat or too thin or too short or too tall. Well, If he's between the ages of 40 and 60 (give or take a few years), your man is blazing a trail through male midlife — he's having a crisis.


    Aphrodisiac Foods & Recipes

    Aphrodisiacs were first sought out as a remedy for various sexual anxieties including fears of inadequate performance as well as a need to increase fertility. Procreation was an important moral and religious issue and aphrodisiacs were sought to insure both male and female potency. In ancient times a distinction was made between a substance that increased fertility versus one that simply increased sex drive. In any case, many ancient foods are still thought to carry aphrodisiac qualities today.


    Cuddle up with a Bunch of Strangers? You Betcha!

    In a society that is increasingly touch-phobic, many of us aren't getting our Recommended Daily Allowance of welcomed touch. For many people, the only options for getting their touch needs met consist of paying for a massage, having a drunken hookup or getting a pat-down from airport security. The brainchild of two relationship coaches, Cuddle Party was conceived in Feburary 2004. Cuddle Party is a non-sexual, playful social event designed for adults to explore communication, boundaries and affection.


    Dark Chocolate Good For Your Heart?

    Far from being an unhealthy treat, the scientific evidence is support of the health benefits of eating dark chocolate are stacking up. The latest research indicates that the flavonoid-rich substance could have a protective effect on the cardiovascular system, at least in the three hours immediately following consumption. So keep those little squares handy and enjoy!
