14. Every single day, forests areas are cut, slashed and burned , equal in size to 75,000footballfields.Foodconsumption is expected to double by 2050, yet the pollinators are dying. Temperatures are rising, coral reefs are dying, a third of the worlds fisheries are threatened and hundreds of millions of people lack clean water to drink. With increasing pollution all around the world and increasing concerns over global warming, the world is gradually becoming aware of the fact that nature should be conserved and proper sustainable resources should be used for the increasing needs of humans. Conservation International, (CI) now in its 3rd decade, works towards building awareness for environmental concerns with the goal of ensuring a healthy, productive planet for everyone. CI does this through collaborative efforts, partnerships and scientific field work, to establish a foundation to find global solutions, and has launched various programs to reach out to the world effectively. Their motto is that the world needsnaturetothriveandnobodywould disagree with this fact. In every breath, in everymealandinprettymucheverything abouthumanlife,natureisalwaysthere.It is impossible to survive without Nature and thus it is really important to conserve and use its resources responsibly. Conservation International is much more than just an entity working towards awareness of environmental hazards, they also devise methods to do so. With new effective inventions and collaborative work, they have truly inspired many organizations and governments to take care of our Mother Nature. Withahugeamountofexperienceintheir company portfolio and positive results in over 25 countries around the world, Conservation International and its team are the visionaries which this planet needs for ensuring responsible use of resources. Their goals are simple: Protect our natural wealth ,Foster effective governance, and Promote sustainable production. In an effort to reach a large number of people rather effectively and in an interesting and engaging way, CI created their current powerful campaign entitled NATURE IS SPEAKING. With the help of environmentally aware actors like Penelope Cruz, Ian Somerhalder, Kevin Spacey,JuliaRobertsandmanymore,they havemadeshortfilmsdescribinghowthe world needs each and every aspect of nature. The help of these advocates and their concern over the environmental issues is commendable. by NATURE IS SPEAKING. ARE YOU LISTENING? Perreault Magazine - 20 -

15. Species are the building blocks of Earth's life-support systems. We all depend on them. Biodiversity underpins all life on Earth. Without species, there would be no air to breathe, no food to eat, no water to drink. There would be no human society at all. AndastheplacesonEarthwherethemost biodiversity is under the most threat, hotspots are critical to human survival. However, our planets biodiversity, the vast array of life on Earth, faces a crisis of historic proportions. Development, urbanization,pollution,diseasetheyre all wreaking havoc on the tree of life. Today, species are going extinct at the fastest rate since the mass extinction of the dinosaurs. To stem this crisis, we must protect the places where biodiversity lives. But species arent evenly distributed around the planet. Certain areas have large numbers of endemic species those found nowhere else. Many of these are heavily threatened by habitat loss and other human activities. These areas are the biodiversity hotspots, 35 regions where success in conserving species can have an enormous impact in securing our global biodiversity. The forests and other remnant habitats in hotspots represent just 2.3% of Earths landsurface.Butyoudbehard-pressedto find another 2.3% of the planet thats more important. Whats a Hotspot? To qualify as a biodiversity hotspot, a region must meet two strict criteria: Itmusthaveatleast1,500vascularplants asendemicswhichistosay,itmusthave a high percentage of plant life found nowhere else on the planet. A hotspot, in other words, is irreplaceable. It must have 30% or less of its original naturalvegetation.Inotherwords,itmust be threatened. Around the world, 35 areas qualify as hotspots. They represent just 2.3% of Earths land surface, but they support morethanhalfoftheworldsplantspecies asendemicsi.e.,speciesfoundnoplace else and nearly 43% of bird, mammal, reptile and amphibian species as endemics. The map of hotspots overlaps extraordinarily well with the map of the natural places that most benefit people. Thats because hotspots are among the richestandmostimportantecosystemsin the world and they are home to many vulnerable populations who are directly dependent on nature to survive. Conservation International was a pioneer in defining and promoting the concept of hotspots. In 1989, just one year after scientist Norman Myers wrote the paper that introduced the hotspots concept, CI adopted the idea of protecting these incredible places as the guiding principle of their investments. For nearly two decades thereafter, hotspots were the blueprint for CIs work. Today, CIs mission has expanded beyond the protection of hotspots. They recognize that it is not enough to protect species and places; for humanity to survive and thrive, the protection of nature must be a fundamental part of every human society.

16. Conservation International 's work INVESTING IN NATURE Nature provides vital, unmatchable and ongoing returns to all of humanity. An investment in our planet is an investment in our future. We cant protect our lands, waters and other natural resources without long- term financial commitments. Thats why Conservation International works to find innovative,successfulandlastingwaysto fund conservation. Alongside their partners, they are establishing endowments that fund protected areas. CI is helping to relieve countries of their debts in exchange for investments in important ecosystems. And they channel funds to partner organizationsaroundtheworldsothey can find innovative ways to make conservation happen. SCIENCE + INNOVA We cant protect our planet, and the people who depend on it, unless we understand it. Oursuppliesoffreshwateraredwindling. The sources of our food are becoming more and more uncertain. Our planet is warming. And hundreds of millions of people across the globe still live in poverty. At Conservation International, they believe that all of these problems are bound together and that science is fundamental in finding the solutions. Their scientists are making discoveries and developing tools that help governments and businesses value the critical links between nature and human well-being. They are carrying out science thatmakesadifference,forpeopleandfor nature. Perreault Magazine - 22 -

Watch the films and take action. ATION WORKING WITH GOVERNMENTS Naturesabilitytomeetourneedsforfood, water,energyandotheressentialservices for human well-being requires sound government policy and smart funding choices. Governments around the world have adopted policies to protect wildlife, land, fresh water, air and marine resources. With the unprecedented draw down of critical natural resources, however, current policies cannot keep pace with todays environmental challenges. Why is it important? National and global security Depleting critical natural resources can lead to instability, mass migration and regional conflict. Water we drink From New York City to southwestern China, governments are creating innovative ways for downstream water users to pay upstream landowners to maintain and restore forest areas and to prevent pollution. Livelihoods Governments around the world are recognizing the value of nature to long- term employment and prosperity, as well as the importance of natural resource stewardship to economic and global security. Food we eat Around the world governments are working with local communities, businesses and nonprofit organizations toensurepropermanagementoftheseas and lands so that they can support productive fisheries and farms. Climate stability Conserving the worlds tropical forests is essential for mitigating the impacts of climate change. In 2009, the Government of Norway committed up to US $250 million to support Guyanas efforts to promote sustainable economic development and to mitigate climate change through protection of the countrys forests.

48. Conservation International was founded with this simple mantra as its driving force and focus: P EOPLE NEED NATURE TO SURVIVE. This approach has been incredibly effective in the work of CI to educate and inform society that it is in our own best interest to protect the natural world-without it we cannot exist. OUR HUMANIFESTO NATURE DOESNT NEED PEOPLE. PEOPLE NEED NATURE. Human beings are part of nature. Nature is not dependent on human beings to exist. Human beings, on the other hand, are totally dependent on nature to exist. The growing number of people on the planet and how we live here is going to determine the future of nature. And the future of us. Nature will go on, no matter what. It will evolve. The question is, will it be with us or without us? If nature could talk, it would probably say it doesnt much matter either way. We must understand there are aspects of how our planet evolves that are totally out of our control. But there are things that we can manage, control and do responsibly that will allow us and the planet to evolve together. We are Conservation International and we need your help. Our movement is dedicated to managing those things we can control. Better. Country by country. Business by business. Human by human. We are not about us vs. them. It doesnt matter if youre an American, a Canadian or a Papua New Guinean. You dont even have to be particularly fond of the ocean or have a soft spot for elephants. This is simply about all of us coming together to do what needs to be done. Because if we dont, nature will continue to evolve. Without us. HERES TO THE FUTURE. WITH HUMANS.

57. Perreault Magazine - 63 - by Rosamond works from her studio in Oxfordshire. She has established a reputation as one of the UKs leading wildlife sculptors and is widely featured in both national and international press. Born in 1973, Rosamond grew up in the south of England, enjoying a childhood setagainsttheidyllicbackdropofboththe NewForestandDorsetcoastline.Inspired byhergrandmother,akeenartist,herlove of nature and an insatiable desire to create, Rosamonds artistic endeavours were met with success from an early age, in various art and design competitions at local and national level. Rosamond is passionate about conservation and has raised significant funds for conservation projects, in particular through the sale of her highly acclaimed African wildlife editions and in her role as affiliated sculptor to Tusk Trust. Her sculptures are held in private collectionsinBritain,Europe,theUSAand United Arab Emirates and she appears in the latest edition of the prestigious Who s Who In Art, published by Morven Press. BP: You are a conservationist and an artist, and we clearly see that you combine both passions through your work. As an artist, when did you begin exploring the shapes, movements and elegance of animals? RL: I was brought up in the South of England, in the counties of Dorset and Hampshire, with a childhood spent exploring The New Forest National Park, the rugged Purbeck coastline and the rolling countryside of English author and poet, Thomas Hardy. I was therefore both in awe of and acutely aware of my surroundings from a very young age, naturally developing a passion for wildlife. As a child I would use every opportunity to get closer to nature and I was fortunate enough to have a family thatencouragedme. Istillrecallmyfather waking me before sunrise one misty morningtotravelintotheforestaswehad found an active badger sett only a few days earlier and were intrigued as to its inhabitants. The excitement I felt crouching quietly with my father, watching at close hand a family of badgers playing and foraging was overwhelming and made me forget how cold it was and how quickly time had passed. That same feeling has been replicatedonalltheoccasionsthroughout mylifesofarthatIhavebeenprivilegedto observe wildlife, whether its watching a family of elephants crossing a clearing to gettotheZambeziRiverinAfricaorababy rabbit sitting in my Oxfordshire garden, ears alert and quivering. I store every observation in my mind, I think, plan and see in picture form and was encouraged throughthestudyofartasachildandlater, as an adult, to replicate my observations on paper and, ultimately, in clay. ROSAMOND LLOYD HER PASSION FOR ART AND WILDLIFE PROTECTION

58. BP: Whatsparkedyourloveandsupport for wildlife? RL: Following on from the above, this was sparked at a very early age. I am informed that my passion for conservation began at just short of three years old, when I found what I clearly thoughtwereacoupleofstarvingsnailsin my mothers garden and decided to carefully transport them indoors and placetheminthevegetablecompartment ofthefridgeinourkitchentorevivethem! This early act of kindness soon became a mission, as a child, to actively seek out wildlife in distress, our home quickly becoming an animal hospital for injured hedgehogs, chicks, baby owls and anything else I felt needed care and rehabilitation! Now, as a parent myself, my desire to nurture and care has been fulfilled in otherwaysbutmypassionforwildlifeand conservation remains as strong as ever. I amluckyenoughtobeabletochannelthis interest and passion through my creative workwhich,inturn,hasledmetobecome involvedinconservationonalargerscale, with my support of conservation organisations like Tusk (www.tuskusa.c om) and WildAid (www.wildaid.org), who are fighting to save our endangered speciesinwhatisnowacriticalsituation. I made the decision early on in my sculpture career that if I was going to be studying and sculpting wildlife, particularly endangered species, I did not simplywanttobeapassiveobserverofmy subjectmatter.InordertocreatetheworkI doandbreathelifeintomypieces,Ihaveto careaboutthesubjectmatterandthatcare brings with it an enormous sense of responsibility. My bronze sculptures will outlivemeandmanygenerationstocome andeachpieceiscreatedincelebrationof a living creature, I could not bear the idea of any of my pieces becoming a memorial to an extinct species. What started as a childhood passion and care has become, for me, a commitment andpromisethatIwilldoeverythingIcan, usingtheskillsIhave,tohelpinthebattle to conserve our planet and the wonderfully diverse species that inhabit it. BP: You often combine a small and fragile creature with a larger one in perfect balance - as well as the mother and the child. Is this your own sense of affection and responsibility towards animals that we see through your creations? Yes, although I think it is both a combination of my own sense of responsibility and affection that I feel towards the animal and my own strong affinity, as a mother myself, with what I liketodescribeastheartofnurture. One ofmyearlypieceswasabronzeofafemale baboon carrying her baby. It was an ambitious piece at the time, since baboons are not a particularly traditional sculpturesubjectandthescaleofthebaby meant that the detail I would have to recreate would be very fine indeed.

However I was very moved by a female baboon I had encountered who was carryingherbabyonherback,withthesort of tired, worn out look that I strongly identified with, as a young mother myself atthattime! Ihadcapturedheronfilmand felt compelled to recreate her pose, in bronze. It was a fortunate decision, since the finished baboon bronze, which was named 'The Art Of Nurture, earnt me a nomination for Wildlife Artist of the Year in2011andmovedmysculpturecareerto a new level. It illustrated to me the importance of choosing subject matter of personal relevance into which I could more easily breathe life and sense. Several of my pieces have subsequently featured the parent/offspring theme, including elephants, rhinos, giraffes and, mostrecently,apairofhippos-technically Ienjoythechallengeofrecreatingasmall, baby version of the adult, with the same level of detail and realism and emotionally, I want my pieces to communicate directly with the observer. Nurture and the image of a parent/offspring suggests a degree of tenderness, affection and support - a set of emotions that humans can directly relate to and I feel that this helps my wildlifesculpturetospeaktoanonlooker. Ateveryshowingofmywork,Iamaskedby visitors if they can touch my sculpture; I feel that if my pieces dont inspire the onlooker to reach out and touch, connecting in some way with the piece, thenIhavenotachievedwhatIwantedto. I spend enormous amounts of time working on a clay, using my fingers probably more than any other sculptors tool, to refine, smooth and almost tease the clay into the form I want it to take. The desire to touch my work, once finished, is the biggest compliment an observer can pay me, since they are inspired to want to connect not only with the subject matter but with the sculptor and the creation process itself.

Doyoucreatewithaspecificgoalinmind - with a personal message of evocation and inspiration? (Ex: Freedom, Fragility) My creation process is a little more organic, starting with an observation. I observe, take film, photograph and assemble a wide range of reference material, always on the look out for an imagethatIfeelIcanconnectwith. Iknow instinctivelythatifthatconnectionexists andtheimageorposespeakstomeatthat point, then my sculpture, if executed properly,willspeaktotheonlooker. With the bronze 'A Trio of Lions', I had seen plenty of footage of African lions at drinkingholesandmarvelledatthepower suggested by the eyes, forever looking ahead,onconstantalert,engagingintheir surroundings at all times. Lions are a popular subject in art and particularly sculpture, and I did not want to recreate some of the more traditional, often sedentary and majestic poses that have been depicted in other works. What I wanted, was a sculpture that suggestedbothpowerandvulnerability,a piece that was both striking and ever so slightly unnerving. That conveyed both a stillness and yet the feeling of constrained energy. I had been impressed, by a child, at the eyes of Da Vincis famous painting of Mona Lisa which appeared to follow you around the roomandIhadlongwantedtoseeifIcould recreate a similar effect with a bronze sculpture - this was my perfect subject matter. AsthepieceprogressedIrealised that it was important to me that the lion heads appeared to be almost floating', supported by their tongues (technically quite a challenge with the weight of the bronze) - particularly relevant since this too is a species currently hanging, tragically,inthebalance. Whenitcameto the water, I had indeed initially intended namingthissculptureTheLastDropbutI did not want the observer to focus on this singular issue alone, so I resisted. I think for any artist it is important to leave certain things unsaid, questions unanswered, since I feel art should encourage thought and debate rather thandictate. Ihopethatthefinishedpiece communicates on a wide range of levels and it has certainly caused a stir at each exhibition it has appeared in! BP: As a conservationist, what is the messageyouwouldliketosharewithour readers? I think people can feel overwhelmed, sometimes confused and often helpless when it comes to tackling the enormous conservation challenges that face the world today, which are greater now than everbefore-theabundanceoftheworlds species has decreased by almost a third over the last 100 years. It is hard for many people to relate to a species or situation thatisoftenoutsideoftheirownpersonal experience, both geographically and emotionally. However we can make an important difference, as individuals. Even though we may only do a little bit in the grand scheme of things, together our seemingly small actions add up to a lot.

66. NATURE DOES NOT NEGOTIATE: CLIM As Typhoon Hagupit hit the Philippines, oneofthebiggestpeacetimeevacuations in history had been launched to prevent a repeat of the massive loss of life which devastated communities when Super Typhoon Haiyan hit the same area just over a year ago. "One of the biggest evacuations in peacetime" strikes a sickening chord. Is this peacetime or are we at war with nature? IwasabouttoheadtoLima,whenIgotacall to come to the Philippines to support our office and its work around Typhoon Hagupit (which means lash). In Lima anotherroundoftheUNclimatetalkswere underway to negotiate a global treaty to prevent catastrophic climate change. A truce of sorts with nature. But these negotiations have been going on far too long, with insufficient urgency and too much behind the scenes, and not so much behind the scenes, interference from the fossil fuel lobby. Thisyear,likelastyearandtheyearbefore these negotiations take place against a devastating backdrop of a so-called 'extreme weather event', something that climate scientists have been warning us about if we don't take urgent action. Tragically, we are not taking urgent action. Nature does not negotiate, it responds to our intransigence. For the people of the Philippines, and in many otherpartsoftheworld,climatechangeis already a catastrophe. Only one year ago, Super Typhoon Haiyan killedthousands,destroyedcommunities and caused billions of dollars in damage. Manysurvivorswhoarestilldisplacedhad to evacuate the tents they have been livinginasTyphoonHagupitcarvedapath across the country.

67. MATE CATASTROPHE IS WITH US NOW! With heavy hearts, we prepared to bear witness. We continue to challenge those in Lima to turn their attention from the lethargy and process of the negotiations and pay attention to what is happening in the real world. We call on them to understand that climatechangeisnotafuturethreattobe negotiated but a clear and present danger that requires urgent action now! Each year, the people of the Philippines learn the hard way what inaction on emissions mean. They might be slightly better prepared and more resilient, but theyarealsorightlymoreaghastthateach year - at the same time - the climate meetings seem to continue in a vacuum, not prepared to take meaningful action, not able to respond to the urgency of our time and not holding accountable the Big Polluters that are causing the climate to change with ferocious pace. Before leaving for Manila I also received a message from Yeb Sao, climate commissioner for the Philippines: "I hope you can join us as we bear witness to the impact of this new super typhoon. Your helpwouldbeveryvaluableindeliveringa message to Lima loud and clear." Yeb was the Filipino chief negotiator for three years at the UN climate talks and recentlyvisitedtheArcticonaGreenpeace shiptowitnesstheArcticseaiceminimum. Two years ago in Doha, as Typhoon Pablo took the lives of many, he broke through the normally reserved language of dispassionate diplomacy that dominates UN climate treaty talks: "Please...let2012berememberedasthe year the world found the courage to ... take responsibility for the future we want.

68. Perreault Magazine - 78 - What will the coming decade look like? The honest answer is that no one knows. A glimpse, though, can be found in a promising new start up, Oculus Rift. Eighteen months ago, Palmer Luckey was a teenager with a clever idea for a new business. Foregoing the traditional path of securing a bank loan, Luckey instead went to Kickstarter - a peer-to-peer lending platform and, within days, raised $1 million from strangers. This success caught the attention of venture capitalists who quickly poured in $25 million to create a working prototype. So successful were the initial reviews of Oculus Rifts virtual reality technology that Facebook purchased the company for $2 billion in March of 2014. From an idea in a teenagers head to a $2billioncompanyinlessthanayear- and-a-half, welcome to the future where business as unusual will become usual. The Big AHA The pace and scale of tomorrows change begs the obvious question: How does a business leader prepare for a constantly changing future? The answer can be found in a simple acronym: AHA. It stands for: Awareness, Humility and Action. First, leaders must become aware of the extraordinary changes taking place across todays global landscape. For example, advances in nanotechnology are leading to the creation of new materials that can out-compete copper in terms of conductivity and steel in terms of strength. And soon, some of these exotic nanomaterials will even compete on price. Additionally, the extraordinary advances in 3D manufacturing show no signs of abating Chinese manufacturers are already meter 3D printer to create titanium aircraft wings and fuselages. Continued advances in wearable technology, robotics, big data and the Internet of Things also promise to transform global commerce. (In fact, the Internet of Things also known as the Industrial Internet has alone been estimated to be a $15 trillion business opportunity in the coming decade!) BUSINESS AS UNUSUAL How to Prepare for the Coming byJACKULDRICH

69. Continued on page 80 using a 12? Yield to Humility Quick question: What two colors are yield sign? Did you say yellow and black? If so, that was the correct answer up until 1971. Thats right. The yield sign has been red?and?white for 43 years. If you got the wrong answer, dont worry most people over the age of 40 do. Nevertheless, your outdated response should humble you enough to recognize that not everything you learned in the past about your business, your customers or your competitors is necessarily still true today. Consider, for example, how recent advances inhydraulic fracking and horizontal drilling technology have changed the game in terms of global energy production within just the past few years. This startling change should serve as a reminder that the worldand even big industriescan change quickly due unexpected technological advances. And when these advances scale, old ideas about business models as well as customer and market expectations may have to be unlearned quickly. Action Once a leader is aware that the only constant in todays world is change, and is humble enough to accept that unlearning will be as important as learning, what does he or she need to do to prepare for the future? First, begin by setting aside time to think. Personally, I recommend taking an annual Think Week. Now, youre probably thinking: I dont even have enough time to do all the things I need to do in day! How am I going to find a whole week just to think? If thats your mindset, what youre essentially saying is that you cant dedicate two percent of your time to think about thefuture. Well, if youre not thinking about the future, who in your organization is? Id argue that thinking is your most important job. If one week a year is too hard, break the task down into smaller chunks. Take an hour a week, or 12minutes a day, to read about advances on the periphery of your business in such publications as The Economist and MITs Technology Review and then reflect deeply on how various technological advances might disrupt your business or open up entirely new opportunities.

70. Perreault Magazine - 80 - Continued from page 79 Pre?Mortem Another way to future?proof your company is to conduct a pre?mortem. A pre?mortem is the opposite of a post? mortem. Instead of waiting until your sales have plummeted, your old customers have left or a newcompetitor has ravaged your business to determine what went wrong, you take a more pro? active approach. Encourage your team to imagine it is ten years in the future and you are out of business. Then ask the provocative question: What went wrong? What didnt we seeing coming? The dialogue this question unleashes will astound you. More interestingly, instead of it being a depressing question, itll generate a candid conversation about the threats and opportunities the changing world is creating and you can use these insights to take constructive actions to position your organization for the future. By their nature, many of the actions are likely to be risky. I wish I could guarantee you that each one will be a success. I cant. What will serve you well is a policy of conducting small experiments and pilot projects. In an ever changing world strategic planning is less and less helpful. What needs to replace strategic planning is a thoughtful policy of experimentation. Try new things, play with emerging technologies, and partner with different individuals and companies to exploit new technologies and explore new ways of doing business. There will, of course, be some setbacksand failures but there may also be some surprising successes. If you learn from the mistakes and build upon the small successes, your future might just be unusually successful.

71. THE NEW SCIENCE OF EPIGENETICS HEART INTELLIGENCE TheHeartinitsbasicformservesasa pump that circulates oxygenated and nutrient rich blood throughout the body. This life giving function alone is profound. However the Heartalsopossessesanintelligence that is directly involved in intuitive perception, one that is beyond reason. The Heart and brain are in constant communication with each other. There is evidence that they both receive and respond to information about a future event before the event actually happens. Even more surprising is that the Heart appears to receive this intuitive information before the brain. Heart Intelligence Doc Childres, founder of HeartMath, the worlds most influential scientific organization focused on activating the powers of the Heart, states: The Heart serves as a key access point throughwhichinformationoriginating in the higher dimensional structures is coupled into the physical human system, including DNA. The Heart has its own organized intelligence network enabling it to act independently, learn, remember and produce feelings. These were attributes, which, until recently, were nearly universally held to be solely in the brains dominion. Scientists are discovering that our Hearts are the "driving force" behind the intuitive thoughts and feelings we all experience. Beyond The Mind The Heart is the first organ to form in thehumanfetus.Itstartstobeatbefore the brain is developed and generates an electromagnetic field that extends at least fifteen feet out from the body. The Energy Field of the Heart is the strongest bioelectric and magnetic generator in the body; 5000 times more magnetically powerful, sending moreinformationtothebrain,thanthe brain does to the Heart. social information between individuals, as well as having a collective impact on our environment in the most positive and embracing way. Epigenetic Therapist by Steven Mana Trink WHAT DOES 'EPIGENETICS' MEAN? Perreault Magazine - 82 -

72. Perreault Magazine - 83 - Researchers have found evidence that this electromagnetic field, generated by each heartbeat, is united to a field of informationbeyondthelimitsofthemind and is referred to as Divine Intelligence. This energy field plays a significant role in our mental, emotional and physical processes, thus having a direct effect on our Vitality. The Mind Body Connection Is Made Through The Heart The stories and thoughts the mind weaves and the Feelings experienced from the Heart, give form and substance to the physical reality we experience as life. The energy emanating from the Heart, has the greatest influence and impact. Research at the Institute of HeartMath shows that information pertaining to a persons emotional state is also communicated throughout the body via the Hearts electromagnetic field and operates just below our conscious awareness. Humans are the only species who can consciouslyusetheirHeart-Mind-DNA Coherence, a scientifically validated state in which your Heart and brain are energetically aligned and cooperating with one another to transform the natureofourlifeexperiencefromfear- based to Love-based. Care, compassion and love are transmitted throughoutanindividualsbodyasthe cardio-electromagnetic field radiates through it. This same energy is also transferred externally to people in close proximity and even over long distance. We touch one another physically, emotionally and through the energy field of the Heart. The quality of our awareness makes a differenceinourhealthandinthelives of those we touch. Heart Coherence It is believed that the energetic Heart functions as a receiving station through which sincere Heartbased feelings consistent to Love, Trust, Compassion and Joy create a Heart Coherence, a high frequency energy field; a beneficial state of mental, emotional and physical balance and harmony. Continued on page 84 Mysteries of the Heart

73. Perreault Magazine - 84 - This field of resonance transmits energy and information to every cell in the body and embraces everything else within the field. The Coherent Heart Field is composed of wavelengths of peaks and valleys that are symmetrical and communicate more effectively with our brain and body. The Coherence Technique, outlined below, offers a way to communicate with your Heart and connect to your Intuition. The unfolding story of life affords us the opportunity to practice and integrate the insights and wisdoms (gifts) found within each experience we have in life. We have a choice. A. Heart Focus: Shift your attention to the area of the heart and breathe slowly and deeply. B. Heart Breathing: Keep your focus in the heart by gently breathing five seconds in and five seconds out throughtheareaaroundyourheart.Do these two or three times. C.HeartFeeling:Activateandsustaina genuine feeling of appreciation or careforsomeoneorsomethinginyour life.Focusonthegoodheartfeelingas you continue to breathe through the area of your heart. After you do these simple steps, ask your Heart if you could access your intuition more consistently and how would it influence your life? Write down your answers to help chart your progress. Practice asking your Heart for guidance.Calmthemindandemotions and listen for the first thoughts that come to you that feel right. Write them down. The Clear Choice The Energetic Heart is coupled to a deeper part of ourselves. When we are Heart centered and coherent, we experienceacloseralignmentwithour deepersourceofintuitiveintelligence. In a Heart Coherent state there is an increasedflowofintuitiveinformation that is communicated via the emotional energetic system to the brain systems resulting in a stronger connection with our inner voice and allowing us access to the largely untapped potential for bringing our mental and emotional faculties into greater balance and self-directed control.

Healing Power Of Coherence DNA is a coherent wavelength in its frequency, so it naturally seeks coherency with which to resonate. It is healthiest when the signals it receives are from a vibrant consciousness, one whose environment is thriving and healthy. Life relies on coherent energy asmuchasitreliesonDNA.Thisisavery comfortablevibrationtobearoundand what is usually referred to when you say someone has "good vibes". It is because their energy is coherent. The healing power of coherence comes from the alignment of the mind and body with the rhythm and Spirit of the Heart. They work together in Harmony as an amazing information and energetic processing system for the body. Yourbodyisanenvironmentandevery cell within you is reliant on that environment being coherent. Doors open to other possibilities because all life, all creation, responds to this coherency. Energy and information respond to the resonant frequency you are creating. Information has energy; energy is information. Information is the purpose of energy. They all work together as a team. Continued on page 86

75. Epigenetics The latest breakthrough research in cell biology and quantum physics, according to cellular biologist Bruce Lipton,Ph.D.,showsthatourgenesand DNA are influenced by signals from outside the cell membrane that turn on or turn off parts of the genome thatsendfunctionalinstructionstoour cells. This pioneering research in the field of vibrational medicine known as the new Science of Epigenetics has concluded that our biology is influenced by our perceptions of the world we live in, our thoughts, beliefs, prayers, mediations and intentions. Theresearchisthestudyoffactorsthat influenceDNAexpression.Thefoodwe eat, the air we breathe, the words we speak and the ecological systems in which we live also influence the switches that turn on and off the expression or communication of our genes and DNA. The Science of Epigenetics lies in tracing the signal outside the cell back to its origins. It looks for the energy flow that causes the DNA blueprint to activate a particular pattern, the energetic force behind the way our DNA expresses itself. These Epigenetic influences on gene and DNA expression rewrite the rules of disease, heredity and Well- Being. Thought Activates Genetic Changes Our DNA code is fixed for life, but experiments at the Institute of HeartMath in Boulder Creek, CA, led by Rollin McCraty Ph.D, along with the studies conducted at the Monroe Institute , show that measurable molecular changes in the DNA molecule can result from thought, intentions, emotions and spiritual connection.Witheachthoughtwehave and with each feeling experienced there are genetic changes in our cells. Each signal shuts down some genes and activates others. Gene expression is mediated by the choices that we make and the behaviors we choose, which all arise from either the mind or Heart and communicated through our morphogenetic energy fields. Researchers already have linked changes in the way our DNA is regulated to various cancers, diabetes, autoimmune diseases and mental illnesses. Heart-Brain Connection The Heart communicates through its own innate language known in many cultures as The Seat of the Soul. It speaks directly with our brain and creates an energetic field that incorporates our physical body. The Heartalsocomprisesanervoussystem entirely independent of our central nervous system containing around 40,000 neurons.

When our Heart field is coherent, the energy and information sent to the body results in improved health and well-being, optimal performance, healthier relationships, focus and intuition. When we are in a state of Gratitude, Trust, Compassion or Joy, all our physiological systems in the body are in alignment, functioning at their optimal level.

76. Mothers and their babies are often said to share a deep, intimate connection. Simply by looking and smiling at each other, moms and babies synchronize their heartbeats to within milliseconds of each other. The Hearts Electromagnetic Field The electromagnetic field generated by the Heart is the most powerful rhythmic electromagnetic field producedbythebody.TheHeartsfield permeates every cell and may act as a synchronizing signal for all the cells in the body in a manner similar to information carried by radio waves. What is exciting is that we can learn to intentionally align with and consciously chooseHeartIntelligence over mindmade stories. The practice of consciously living from the Heart increases intuitive access. As we listen toourHeartourdiscernmentincreases and we make better life choices. Natural forces within us are the true healers of disease. - Hippocrates The Heart Connects Us To Our Divine Essence. As our civilization begins to awaken into a higher consciousness we become more aware as to the Miracles of Life.

78. Perreault Magazine - 90 - Why Emotion Matters in Conservation Science At this Earthwatch lecture, Dr. Anastasia Steffen and Dr. Wallace J. Nichols discuss the role of emotion in conservation and neuroconservation. Explorer Paul Rose chairs. Why Emotion Matters in Conservation Science was chaired by explorer, polar guide, TV presenter, and Earthwatch ambassador Paul Rose, who revealed how hispassionfornaturehadbegunattheage of11whentheexploitsofhishero,Jacques Cousteau, had inspired him to become a diver. RosespoketotheaudienceattheOndaatje Theatre, as well as to an international audience listening to the evening via Webinar. Earthwatchers were also able to keep in touch through live Twitter updates. Paul introduced the first speaker, Dr. Anastasia Steffen, who leads an Earthwatch project studying the landscape and historical use of the Valles Caldera in New Mexico, a beautifully scenicvolcanicareawithgrassvalleys,hot springs, and streams. Most of the Valles Caldera is above 8,500 feet (2,600 meters) in elevation, which is too high for agriculture, and until 2000 it was privately owned. Dr. Steffens team, with the Valles Caldera Trust, is tasked with preserving the cultural and natural heritageoftheareawhileprovidingpublic access. Thewordpeopleoftenusefortheseareas ispristine,shesaid.Inrealitytheareais brutally logged and heavily grazed but we keep using that word, pristine. I think people use it to describe a healthy, safe environment. You can recognize in the Valles Caldera that youre in a safe place. Theres water, resources, shelter. Consequently, we recognize it as beautiful. I dont know what coyotes think when they find a safe place, but I imagine its something akin to love. The Valles Caldera is protected and relativelyundisturbed,butitsnotunused. TheHoloceneperiodan8,000-yearspan saw people thrive here. Its important to realize that the Archaic period was the last period when human adaptationherewassustainable,saysDr. Steffen. But as beautiful as the area is, it has also suffered.InJune2011,aforestfireburned a third of the Valles Caldera. It was a time of pain, grief, and anxiety. We recognize a landscape that is not safe. But there is tremendous relief in watching the green sprout back again. Dr. Steffen noted the importance of managing our emotions in the face of environmental challenges and stressed the value of fostering positive connections with our environment to recognize the need to preserve it. Fear and denial wont help us, she said.

79. Dr. Steffen also reiterated the importance of taking every opportunity to get children out into open spaces to help them fall in love with nature and recognize the need to preserve it. Dr. Steffen then handed over to former EarthwatchscientistDr.WallaceJ.Nichols, whoaimedtotalkabouttheLwordlove. Dr. Nichols, a marine biologist, is leading the emerging scientific field of neuroconservation, investigating how natural environments could be essential for our well-being, helping to reduce stressa factor involved in 60% of diseaseand encouraging creativity. He believesthatscientistsshouldntbeafraid to talk about love more, especially as we are starting to understand the neurological implications of emotion. Dr. Nichols confessed to being a turtle geek from a young age who took his passion to Mexico, where he did his doctoral work. Despite grim predictions for the survival of Baja Californias black sea turtle, he began working to preserve them. Dr. Nichols was happy to share the data he was collecting before publishing (uncommonamongscientists)becausehe believed it would generate more science and give the turtles a better chance. Indeed, it helped build up a network of turtleprotectors.Thisyear,henoted,were seeing the best black sea turtle nesting season since 1978. Nevertheless, he added, there is still an ocean crisis: We need to rethink our relationship with theocean.Weneedtounderstandhowwe can change our behavior. Dr.Nicholsdiscussedhowwecannowuse powerful technology to see whats going on in our brain. But Whos embracing neuroscience? he asked. Marketers are. They know how brands affect us emotionally. He pointed out how musicians also use neuroscience, and magicians, and people who meditate, so perhaps its time that conservationistsuseittoo.Dr.Nicholshas combined the fields of neuroscience and conservation to create the emerging field of neuroconservation. With neuroconservation, we can start talking about the science of dignity, compassion, and empathy. In science, we use fear and shame to propel its agenda. If weusethosetoolsalone,allweredoingis stressing people out more. Dr. Nichols finished his talk with a quote from Jacques Cousteau. People protect whattheylovewastheoriginalquote,he said.Idliketoaddthewordsometimes. Sometimespeopleprotectwhattheylove. Lets go a step further and change that to all the time.

We have all fallen into this stereotypical cognitive bias which is so common , that it is hard to overcome it. The key question is: Do female and male brains differ? And if they do, does it affect the way we process information and make decisions? Male and Female brains: A closer look. At first sight male and female brains are very similar. Using the naked eye,one can evensaytheyareidentical.However,when wetakeacloserlookattheanatomyofthe brain, some subtle differences can be seen. For instance the gyri, which are the ridgesyoucanclearlyseewhenyoulookat a brain, differ in both genders. Females havegreatergyrificationinthefrontaland parietal lobes, which gives them an increased cortical surface as compared to men. The frontal cortex is an area responsible for much of the decisions we make every day. The limbic system which is responsible for the control of our emotions and mediates some types of learning also has anatomical differences. One of the main players of the limbic system is the amygdala, the area where emotions are actually generated and also is responsible for the memory of those emotions. Interestingly and against the popular belief that women are more emotional,inmalesthisregionofthebrain is larger than in womens brains! Makes youwonderwhotheemotionalonesarein the end. Another interesting difference in the brainsofmenandwomen,isthatmenhave nearly 6.5 times more gray matter than females do ,and that females have about 10timesmorewhitematterthanmalesdo. This hints that throughout evolution we have created almost two different set of brains that are equally intelligent ,suggesting that we use different pathways to obtain a similar result. by Dr. German Garcia-Fresco Neuroscientist Perreault Magazine - 94 -

81. There are other anatomical differences, but the truth is that none of these differences have been linked to considerable differences in male and femalebehavior.Iftheyare,Itheorizethat we must have other mechanisms that activate to counteract those differences. Male vs Female Performance Although no real evidence of IQ differences exist between female and males, we do see a difference in various scholastic areas between the genders. Males tend to score higher on SAT mathematicaltests.Howeverin7outof43 countries examined, female and males scored with no statistical gender difference and in Iceland girls outperformed males. This suggests that a cultural aspect is more likely to influence the differences seen in genders rather than a biological one. Perhaps we would have to revise the way coursesaretaught,andseeifwecanclose the gender gap as in those 7 countries. Therearehowever,afewcognitivegender differences between male and females, and it actually has a biological basis to it. Men typically outperform women on mental rotation tasks and these differencesarelinkedtohormonallevels. One single injection of a testosterone dose increased females performance on visuospatialtasks.Thedifferencesingray matter also contribute to the differences in language skills in which women tend to outperform men. Gender and Emotions As I mentioned earlier, we normally tend to the stereotype that women are more emotional than men. While it is true that women tend to pay attention and express theiremotionsmoreopenlythanmen,the reality is that men and female will experience an equal amount of emotions and emotional reactions to different situations. The difference lies in the way genders process and experience those emotions, which differs from male and females. I believe that part of the emotionaldifferencesisembeddedinour own cognitive fallacies. Just as we stereotypethatfemalesareemotional,we stereotype that men are strong and dont cry. As a result, men learn to hide emotionsandcontrolthem,while females donthavetheneedtodoso,sincesociety created their stereotype which entitles them to be more emotional. Despite these epigenetic factors or you can call them cultural factors, we do express differences in our emotional behaviors and also our physiological makeup,whichprobablydatesbacktoour cave-man origins. Some of our behaviors have been rooted in our brains to ensure survival, bear a child and gather food. Hence the brain had to adapt and rewire itself to be able to be more effective in performing such tasks. For instance neurons responsible for fear and aggression in both sexes, are clustered in the same area in both female and male brains. However in males these neurons connect to areas of the brain that include visionandmovement;andinfemalesthey connect to areas that regulate blood, hormones and respiration.

82. This difference can result in a complete behavioral difference when either sex needs to deal with fear or aggression. Other studies have shown emotional differences when dealing with traumatic situations.Dr.CahillfromtheUniversityof California at Irvine, found that woman experience much more vivid memories and recall a lot more than men do when dealing with emotionally charged situations. What can be done? Men and women are treated differently fromthemomenttheyareborn,andthese vastculturaldifferencesmakeitveryhard to explain gender behavioral differences as being purely biological in nature. It is a combination of genetic and epigenetic factors that allow male and females to express their differential behavior. Althoughthesegenderdifferencesdonot show a change in intelligence, it does affect behavior and the way we deal with emotions.Perhapsweneedtoanalyzethe wayweteachourchildrenatschoolorhow wedealwithgenderatourworkplace.You must remember that emotions are a powerful tool; it allows our brain to pay attention and enhance our memory. Men process the information differently than women. Weneedtolearnhowtoharnessthepower of emotions in both sexes to their advantage so that we can actually close the gender gap.

83. Perreault Magazine - 100 - by Dr. Payam Hakimi HOMEOPATHY A patient consultation in Homeopathy Patient: I have a skin problem which I have had on and off since I was 14 years old. Every year for a couple of months I would get this skin flaking. Then the itchingwouldstart. Butitwouldalwaysgo away. For the past 2 years I have had this rashonmylegswhichisnotgoingaway. It itches a lot and is driving me crazy. I have seen my primary doctor, 2 different dermatologists, and an allergist. And the tests have shown that I have minimal allergies. No one can figure out whats going on with my skin. Doctor: Did you try any medication? Patient: Yes, I started with over the counter steroid and allergy creams. Then I added allergy medication. My doctors prescribed stronger steroid applications and even suggested a course of oral steroids. Everythingworksforaveryshort period of time then loses its effectiveness. Doctor: What else have you done? Patient: I changed my diet to no sugars, decreased my carbs and gluten, started taking vitamin packs and increased my water intake. Doctor: Did that make any difference? Patient: I dropped some weight, but no effect on the skin. Doctor: How does this affect your life? Patient: I am constantly itching myself. It is embarrassing! Some are afraid of catching it from me and others have given me recommendations to see their doctors.

Doctor: Does it feel better if you scratch it? Patient: ItfeelsbetterifIscratchituntilit bleeds. Doctor: Interesting! It reminds me of a Homeopathic medication which has that set of symptomatology in its Materia Medica. Patient: What is Materia Medica? Doctor:ThecollectionoftheHomeopathic medications and the symptoms they cover. Have you tried Homeopathy before? Doctor: The collection of the Homeopathic medications and the symptoms they cover. Have you tried Homeopathy before? Patient:Yes, I have taken some Turmeric and Boswallia to help. But they didnt do anything. Doctor: Those are considered herbs and supplements, not Homeopathy! Homeopathyusestheverydilutedversion of natural substances. You might take milligrams or grams of Turmeric but Homeopathic medication are so diluted there is very minimal amount of the original substance is left in the actual remedy. Patient: Oh, I thought herbs were considered Homeopathic medication. So, how does Homeopathy work? Doctor: Do you know how vaccines work? A small amount of a substance is administered to the body that makes the bodyreactandcreateachange. Letmeask you some questions to see if I can figure out your Homeopathic type. How is your energy during the day? Patient: It is good until it drops around 4-5pm and then I get a second wind after 8pm. Doctor: You mentioned your rash is worse with heat and better with cold. Do you generally feel better with cold weather or hot weather? Patient: I cant stand heat. Doctor: How is your appetite? Patient: Myappetiteisgood,butassoonas I start eating it goes away.

Patient: Yes, I have to eat every day at noon,ifImissthatevenby5minutesIstart getting a migraine headache above my eye and become very irritable. Continued from page 100 Perreault Magazine - 101 -

85. Doctor: How do people around you describe you? Patient: I think they would say I am intelligent, funny and authoritarian. Doctor: How do you feel when you are contradicted? Patient: I get angry quickly and respond. Doctor: Do you have any medical conditions? Patient:Ihavehighcholesterol,havehad kidney stones, and I get hay fever. I snore at night and am gassy and bloated. Further questioning was done and a physical examination was done. Patient was prescribed the Homeopathic Medication Lycopodium Clavatum with instructions. Although he was asked to follow up in 2 weeks, I did not hear from thepatientafterthatday. Then,onedayas I was walking up the street to the bank, a man on a bike cut in front of me and stopped me. Biker: Hi doctor, do you remember me? Me: Ummm, I am sorry but I dont. As he pulled up his pants and started explaining I recognized him. Biker: Remember how horrible my skin was? It all cleared up 2 weeks after I took themedicationyougavemeandithasnot returned. Thank you! Thank you! Homeopathic office visits and interviews take a long time. The physician needs to distinguishmultipleaspectsofapatients medical history and the present illness. Fundamental composition of an individual is of utmost importance. This concept is also called a patients constitution. We are not all created equal in our composition. Due to the effects of our genetics, geography, and environment we express different structural-anatomic, physiologic, and behavioral-emotionalpatternsthatmake us who we are. Within the same family one might show varicose veins, another person might be weak and sick on a monthly basis, the other can be a body builder, one can have skin issues, allergies, one with abandonment issues, jealousy, and another with lack of mental stamina. The long interview process with evaluation of physical and behavioral factors leads a Homeopathic physician to find a medicine from Materia Medica which covers the important specific symptoms of the individual as a whole. I chose Lycopodium Clavatum for this patient because it covers the following symptomatology: Hay Fever Skin issues better with cold worse with heat and better when it bleeds Bloated and gassy Cholesterol issues Stone former Heat sensitive Intelligent, authoritarian, funny Doesnt take contradiction well Energy drop 4-8pm Often taking the constitutional Homeopathic medication will encourage physiological changes. In this example, I wouldpredictthatthehayfeverwouldget much easier, the skin lesions would resolve, the bloating and gas getting better and the chance of getting kidney stones to decrease. What is your constitutional Homeopathic medication? To find out schedule an appointment with a qualified, licensed Homeopathic physician. The foregoing information is not intended to be a medical treatment. You should seek advice of your physician before starting any treatment plan.
