Our Founding Vision… “I was standing on the highest mountain of them all, and round about beneath me was the whole hoop of the world. And while I stood there I saw more than I can tell and I understood more than I saw; for I was seeing in a sacred manner the shapes of all things in the spirit, and the shape of all shapes as they must live together like one being. And I saw that the sacred hoop of my people was one of many hoops that made one circle, wide as daylight and
as starlight, and in the center grew one mighty flowering tree to shelter all children of one mother and one father. And I saw that it was holy.” Black Elk’s Vision (1862 - 1950) Our Beliefs... We believe all people are One! And that this great truth lies deep within each person’s heart! We dedicate the Guide to the One Mother and the One Father and their children (you and I)! Though we speak many languages from differing nations, professions, religions, and realms, as we start to sing the language of LOVE we begin to become aware that we are all singing the same song! This publication seeks to create Harmony to that One Song, the BEAUTIFUL Song of life! Howard & Penny Golden We welcome your contributions in the form of articles, comments and opinions.

Positive Thoughts and Actions Today we are in a multicultural, politically correct world. In the healing world, we use many terms to try to refer to the universal energy in a politically correct way. There have been many names. For this article we will use Divine. We are part of a changing world and as such we have to try to deal with it to the best of our ability. Friends come into our lives as well as leave. Natural disasters happen and new growth comes. The only constant is the Divine. We must root ourselves to the Divine, the Source to live fully and peacefully. If one chooses to be negative they add to the problem. Negative attitudes inhibit the flow of creative energies. Anger, anxiety, destructive criticism, doubt, envy, fear, gossip, guilt, hatred, jealousy, laziness, shame, etc. are forms of negative thinking and actions. Make your thoughts positive. If you can be positive it is more effective and you can make a difference. Positive thinking and actions include creating, building, dancing, joy, happiness, humor, laughter, love, peace, play, singing, smile, etc. If we choose not to work in harmony with others, we stay separate and uncooperative we experience illness. When the components of our body do not work well together, we experience disease. Negative behavior develops into bad habits, feelings etc. Sometimes we need to let go and not be attached to the outcome. We cannot control others. You can give support and be nonjudgmental. Who knows what is really best for someone? We create a chain reaction with our thoughts, let them be positive ones. Send positive energy in return for the negative energy that comes your way. January 2012
world, races, religions, sexes, ages, etc. and live in harmony and love. The Divine Source is not only outside you but within you as well. We need to open our hearts and receive the spirit around us. Align yourself to the natural forces working with us, helping and supporting us. Trying to destroy negative energy just enhances it. Positive energy can neutralize the negative and will eventually flow back to the source of the negative energy. Why not send more positive energy to those who seem to need it. They are already feeling bad, that is why they are sending negative energy. By sending them love, concern and understanding, we can turn it around. Open up to the peace that you are, and your life will be more peaceful. Approach people in a positive way instead of saying, No don’t do that. Suggest that they try it in another way. Once there was a kindergartener who would come to class every day and scribble on the paper. One day the teacher stopped her just as she completed an oval. The teacher said “Look you made an Ellipse.” She was so happy she had drawn something recognizable. After she was good at making ovals the teacher helped to expand that into other things, like faces, turtles etc. The teacher didn’t approach it in a negative way, but assisted her on her path of learning. When we live with compassion, peace and harmony, we experience well being. We should be embracing all living things, the natural beauty of our world, with compassion and love. The separations and divisions in our world caused by our thoughts and beliefs need to be examined and corrected. Together we can stop dividing the
www.BodyMindSpiritRADIO.com
We need to move past tolerance. Tolerance implies something harmful to us, as in “how much of this poison can you tolerate?” We need to move to acceptance, understanding, respect and honor. If we honor one another, then we honor the Divine and live our lives to the fullest with the Divine Source at our side. Follow your inner guidance and put the Divine first in your life. Be at one with the Source. Choose to live fully and peacefully with your oneness.

Unity’s Basic Ideas... We encourage you to explore and apply Unity teachings based on your own spiritual understanding. We believe this spiritual understanding is enhanced through reflective prayer and meditation. The five basic ideas that make up the Unity belief system are:
1. God is the source and creator of all. There is no other enduring power. God is good and present everywhere. 2. We are spiritual beings, created in God’s image. The spirit of God lives within each person; therefore, all people are inherently good. 3. We create our life experiences through our way of thinking. 4. There is power in affirmative prayer, which we believe increases our awareness of God. 5. Knowledge of these spiritual principles is not enough. We must live them. .

The Relationship Puzzle: Myths and Secrets If you’re like I am, you’ve sometimes been confounded, perplexed and bewildered by the relationships in which you’ve found yourself. I know that for me, growing up was one big question – especially when it came to interacting with others; oftentimes significant others like parents, children, spouses or bosses. I read a tons of books & articles listing the do’s and don’ts of being in relationship, and I heard all kinds of differing advice from professionals. But still my questions would persist, nagging me on to find solutions, which could bring me real happiness, comfort & peace. At this point in my life, luckily, I feel grateful for all those questions, because they did eventually lead me to satisfying understandings and to truths that seem to hold up no matter where I find myself. I came to realize that a relationship is the instrument that chisels the jewel in each of us; that our endless search for gratifying answers can work to shine and polish our insides, eliciting our inner glimmer – our internal, natural beauty which may have been formerly hidden. This is because we humans find relationships to be often emotionally challenging; thus the drive to feel more settled, relaxed and complete. To that end, then, I dedicate these thoughts, for in

my lengthy investigation, I found that I was able to discover various myths and secrets, which could help us all to mend our hearts and shine our light in any relationship. I’m honored to share them. Myth #1 It takes inner work on the part of both parties to improve a relationship. One of the great falsehoods that many of us accept as true, is that both people in a relationship must work on themselves and consciously strive to act better to create a healthy, happy connection. We can spend much time feeling angry and frustrated with the other guy/gal for not “caring” the way we do; for not “giving” as much as we do; for not examining themselves as much as we do. We can spend hours at a time sulking, hurting, expecting or just plain being miserable over their lack of attention to what is so important to us. Secret #1 It only takes one of us to create a fulfilling, healthy and satisfying relationship. Every human being, no matter who it is, has the amazing, God-given power to effect positive change in a relationship all by themselves. This doesn’t mean that you will get everything that you want, but it does mean that by working to uncover your own “brilliant” loving ability, you automatically (and sometimes silently) influence another’s behavior. This occurs because when loving, kind or compassionate energy is put forth, it is absorbed, on some level, by any and every other human being and is given back in some form. This holds true whether the object of your love is yourself or the other person. Myth #2 It is always important to express your feelings to the other person in order to make a relationship work. We’ve been told time and again that it’s imperative to express our feelings to whomever we’re relating, especially when we have a problem with their actions. Communication is the key word here, and to communicate, you must tell them exactly what you’re feeling; the anger, the hurt, the frustration. Secret #2 Although it is true that communication is significant for the health of a relationship, expression of all feelings to the other person is not necessary to influence the positive nature of the bond. Communicating to one another what is going on for you, can be viewed as a beneficial activity for creating harmony between two people. However, in the throws of an argument, it is often difficult for at least one of the parties to receive the other in a respectful way. And when you try to express feelings in an unloving or unsafe place, you may end up feeling worse. The best communication often happens after you have expressed your feelings in a protected environment, either with a good friend or family member, a counselor, a teacher, a clergy person, or alone with God. This often helps you to move into a calmer, more respectful place yourself, so that the energetic vibration which you project, is of a loving

nature. What you say or do is not nearly as important as your state of mind. Often, you may even find that if you work on healing your own negative emotional state, harmony in the relationship may return and solutions to any problems may arise more easily. Myth #3 There is someone who is right and someone who is wrong is every argument; i.e. there is a more correct way and a less correct way to view the conflictive situation. For many who are working diligently on their personal growth, there is the view that the person who is not doing this, is at fault. Furthermore, when someone believes very strongly in his/her position, it is difficult to accept or embrace a differing view. So it certainly appears that there is a right and a wrong stance. Societal views add to the confusion, for often, parents, teachers, clergy, media, political leaders and the like, espouse positions, which further the “right/wrong” paradigm. Secret #3 All people, regardless of their opinion, are right. No one is at fault. This is because all people’s opinions are really perceptions that are based upon their past experiences. The person with whom you disagree, feels as right in her stance as you do in yours. His opinion is as real to him as yours is to you, based upon the knowledge that he has at this point in time. Whoever you’re relating to, has his own path, her own journey, his own knowledge base, her own degree of awareness, his own set of past experiences, through which he filters present time thinking. To call him wrong would be erroneous, since his reality is as authentic to him as yours is to you. Therefore, the best way to relate to another when there is discord, is to choose to accept and honor her outlook. Even if this other person calls you “wrong,” you need to remind yourself that there is no “wrong” position. You are both simply “right,” even if this other person January 2012
cannot see it that way. The best way to handle a disagreement is to show respect for the other’s point of view, for in doing so, you expand the possibility that you may receive the same respect back. And even if you don’t, whatever you receive will be infinitely better than if you consider this person wrong. Myth #4 You’re a failure at relationships if you divorce. In any kind of divorce, be it a marriage, the break up of a business, or the disintegration of a family or friendship, some of you may think that you have failed in the relationship. If not, you may believe the other party has failed. Secret #4 Divorce has purpose. There is always something to be learned from going through a divorce. Bonds with others come and go through life. Some are meant to last a lifetime, and others are meant to be shorter in span. Generally, when there are strong ties between 2 people, there is a balance of learning going on. This means that the relationship is just as beneficial to one party as to the other. However, when one person’s learning becomes greater or less than the other’s, the relationship often falls apart. This is not to be judged, merely accepted, with the knowledge that it is in the best interest of one of the parties to move on. It is also (sometimes unconsciously) in the best interest of the party being left. Myth #5 It is wrong to stay together when you feel that this is not a good match for you. It often seems to people, for various reasons, that the relationship they have chosen is not a good or healthy one and that they shouldn’t be there. They spend hours, days, months, even years berating themselves for being too “weak” to leave. They may also regard themselves as being “stupid” for staying. Secret #5 It is completely acceptable to stay in a relationship until you intuitively feel the strength and ability

to leave, even if you have felt for a while that you’ve wanted to leave. Sometimes you may even reasonably choose to stay for the long run, no matter what the circumstances are. This holds true for a marriage, a job, or a partnership of any kind. Much as you would like to believe you understand what is right or wrong, there is so much that is unknown to us humans; i.e. there is information and knowledge that is expressly the property of the Divine. While it may be difficult to understand why things happen the way they do, Infinite Intelligence knows what its doing. If you feel stuck in a relationship that you believe is unhealthy, you can always find something to learn from being there. Perhaps your strength is building in ways other than leaving. Perhaps you are becoming more empowered little by little. Perhaps, your soul has sacrificed itself for the betterment of this other person or for others whom you would never know if it weren’t for this relationship. You can’t scold yourself for something you don’t thoroughly understand. Strive to discover what you can learn from being in this relationship, and set about learning it. In our society, there are often myths, which have somehow become truisms for many. For some who are introspective, thoughtful individuals, it is not acceptable or comfortable to buy into mainstream beliefs, which produce only puzzlement and confusion in the mind. Hopefully the myths and secrets discussed here will warrant your consideration and contemplation, leading you to much happier, pleasing interactions with all!

within is like a key that God can type on to write the story of life. You just have to be one key and all the other hearts that remember will be their individual keys and together we allow God to write the bigger story of life. You may never know what role you play on any given day by opening your heart to God within your experience, but your willingness to play your part will have a significant impact on the workings for every creature in the world. God is not limited by anyone’s religious beliefs or judgments. God’s love is unconditional and everyone is just as valued as everyone else. Good and bad, right and wrong, we can’t always understand God’s purpose in the roles that people play. As you awaken to God within you, you come to accept yourself and understand that you are perfect in your imperfections; then you can begin to release judgment of others as well. That doesn’t mean that you don’t stand up for what you believe to be right or try to protect yourself or others from harm, but you learn to trust that there is a reason for it all that may be beyond your comprehension. Recognizing that we are eternally one with God and therefore safe and unbreakable, we can accept things as they are more easily. Every moment that you remember God in your life is a significant moment. Every time that you are able to see God in another, where human judgment would see the absence of God, you change the world. Your recognition allows God to act within that circumstance.

Making Your New Year Resolutions Successful! Every January 1st an untold number of people make resolutions for improving their health. Ready to change their diet and begin exercising, they often make the same resolutions year after year. They’re hoping to feel better, look better, and have more energy. But instead of meeting their goals, they’re exhausted and have lost their energy and willpower. Before long, they’re back to old habits and have given up on their New Year resolutions. Why does this happen? Most often, it’s due to excess stress, hormones and toxins. Toxins are a huge problem. Living in today’s world, our bodies must deal with many internal and external toxins. External toxins are encountered though what we eat, breathe, drink, and touch. Many internal toxins are produced from incomplete digestion. When the stomach is not acid enough and the small intestines are not alkaline enough, complete digestion does not occur and toxins are created. These toxins clog organs, overwork the immune system with clean up chores, and end up being stored in the fat cells of the body. We should be happy that our body stores toxins for us in our fat cells because it protects us from being harmed by the toxins; but it’s hard to be happy about gaining weight in the form of toxic, stagnant fat. And the more toxins we encounter, the more fat cells we produce in order to protect ourselves. In nature’s perfect design, we must eliminate the toxins before our body will allow us to burn toxic fat for fuel. The good news is that when this fat finally becomes available for fuel because it’s no longer toxic, we will have more energy. Eliminating toxins is never easy but there are special detoxification procedures that make it possible. Although 14
some people believe that fasting is a good way to detoxify the body, hard fasting forces toxins into the system which can harm the filter organs: the liver, kidneys and gall bladder. My recommendation is to find a safe and effective detoxification program and the guidance of a qualified healthcare practitioner who is experienced in these areas. In my office I use four major detoxification programs including the cleanse program from Standard Process, the homeopathic cellular program from Heel, the Erchonia EB305Pro ionic energy balancing foot bath, and specific nutrition to detoxify the fat cells of the body. The Standard Process cleanse program binds toxins and excess hormones and helps to remove them safely from the body. The Heel DetoxKit provides multiple homeopathics working in unison for the purpose of cleansing the basement membranes in the body. The basement membrane is prone to collecting debris which inhibits transportation of materials between the capillaries and the cells. The Erchonia EB305Pro foot bath uses modern microprocessor technology that utilizes toxin drainage through acupuncture meridians. The electrical polarities set up by the EB305Pro conduct through the matrix of the body. A leading authority on energy medicine, Dr. James Oschman, defines the matrix of the body as the extracellular, cytoplasmic, and nuclear matrices that form a continuously interconnected fabric throughout the body. The foot bath works by creating positive and negative ions in order to release debris from the body matrix. Toxins are released through the lungs, the bowels and the urine, as well as into the water of the foot bath. Since many acupuncture meridians end in the feet, immersing the feet in the foot bath enables electrical contact with all the primary meridians of the body. Because
www.BodyMindSpiritGUIDE.com
the meridians are electrically conductive, the charge density throughout the entire body is changed by the foot bath. These changes cause the release of charged particles known as free radicals. Free radicals are molecules that have a charge on them instead of being neutral. They cause harm to the body, interfere with chemical interactions, and cause aging of the cells. The EB305Pro foot bath neutralizes free radicals and helps them migrate out of the body, avoiding their detrimental effects. Free radicals create changes in the normal healthy actions of the body, which result in premature aging and lead to disease states in the body. Not all foot baths work the same and certain supplements should be taken before and after a foot bath to maximize the results while helping to help reduce the reoccurrence of free radical infiltration. Foot bath results should not be based on color changes of the water as that is in part a result of the water used in the foot bath. A high quality foot bath is a very beneficial way to help detoxify your body. Specific whole food nutrition is used to address particular toxic problems encountered by the body whether these are caused from incomplete digestion or external sources, either natural or unnatural. Through testing, I can determine which products normally recommended for a condition will be most beneficial. For example, specific supplements may be effectively used to dissolve stones depending on whether they are calcium or cholesterol derived, as well as clear liver, gall bladder, and kidney congestion. It’s important to begin a therapeutic detoxification program if you want to have good health. When the filter organs of your body are no longer able to filter correctly, your body will begin to break down which often leads to many named disease processes. For example, back pressure in the veins due to congestion in the liver affects systems such as the January 2012
1632-Igoe BMS ad.pdf
lungs, the heart, and the veins themselves, often causing hemorrhoids, varicose veins, and blood pressure related problems. Never give up hope of achieving your New Year resolutions! You can have a healthier body, a clearer mind, and more energy when you have a good diet, adequate exercise, clear communication pathways between your brain and your body, and a clean internal and external environment. Although I’m not making claims on the safety or medical benefits of detoxification programs and the information provided is for informational purposes only, experience shows that most people enjoy greater health when they incorporate proper, regular detoxification programs into their lifestyle. For more information on these and other detoxification programs, call to register for the free workshop at the Livonia Civic Center Library on January 19th. Good luck and have a very happy and healthy New Year!

The Medicine Wheel In Big Horn County, Wyoming a 75 foot diameter wheel which has 28 spokes is noted as being one of the largest medicine wheels in North America. Similar to the pyramids of Egypt and the strange stone structures of Stonehenge, the natives of North America built these stone wheels in certain arrangements. Medicine wheels appear all over northern United States and southern Canada, with a large amount in South Dakota, Wyoming, Montana, Alberta and Saskatchewan. In all, over 70 medicine wheels have been found. So what are these wheels? What do they mean? And is there a message for us from long ago for today? It is said that most medicine wheels follow the basic pattern of having a center cairn of stones, and surrounding that would be an outer ring of stones, then there would be “spokes”, or lines of rocks, coming out of the cairn. Almost all medicine

wheels would have at least two of the three elements mentioned above (the center cairn, the outer ring, and the spokes), but beyond that there are many variations on this basic design, and every wheel found has been unique and has had its own style and eccentricities. The most common deviation between different wheels is the spokes. There is no set number of spokes for a medicine wheel to have. The spokes within each wheel are rarely evenly spaced out, or even all the same length. Some medicine wheels will have one particular spoke that’s significantly longer than the rest, suggesting something important about the direction it points to. Another variation is whether the spokes start from the center cairn and go out only to the outer ring, or whether they go past the outer ring, or whether they start at the outer ring and go out from there. An odd variation sometimes found in medicine wheels is the presence of a passageway, or a doorway, in the circles. The outer ring of stones will be broken, and there will be a stone path leading up to the center of the wheel. Also many medicine wheels have various other circles around the outside of the wheel, sometimes attached to spokes or the outer ring, and sometimes just seemingly floating free of the main structure. Medicine wheels have been built and used for so long, and each one has unique characteristics. Archeologists have found it nearly impossible to tell exactly what each one was for, and haven’t had much success at making broad generalizations about their function and meaning. One of the older wheels has been dated to over 4,500 years old; it had been built up by successive generations who would add new features to the circle. Due to the long existence of such a basic structure, archeologists suspect that the function and meaning of the medicine wheel changed over time, and it is doubtful that we will ever know what the original purpose was. It is not hard to imagine that medicine wheels, like most large stone structures, would probably have served a ceremonial or ritual purpose. There is evidence of dancing within some of the wheels. Other wheels were probably used as part of a ritual vision quest. Astronomer John Eddy put forth the theory that some of the wheels had astronomical significance, where the longest spoke on a wheel could be pointing to a certain star at a certain time of the year, suggesting that the wheels were a way to mark certain days of the year. Other scientists have shown that some of

things in our lives are spinning and we are the center. The philosophy can be summed up as follows. Everything is connected, and humans are just one small part of the cosmic picture, our cycle of life is one of constant change, but not chaotic or meaningless change. Everything is happening for a purpose, even if we do not understand what that purpose may be. People have a body and a spirit, and there is a spiritual world that is as real as the world that we see and experience with our senses. We are here on this earth to learn. The conditions for learning require a balance of the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual aspects of our nature. We will be given help from the spirits if we ask for it. Achieving your maximum human potential is the real goal. The only real sin is failure to use whatever gifts that you have been given for your own good and the good of the community.

the wheels mark the longest day of the year. The basic premise of the medicine wheel is thought to be one for teaching people about their place in the universe and their relationship to all things created by the Creator. There are four directions represented in the wheel, East, West, North, and South, each having their own meaning. The basic teachings of the directions of the wheel are as follows. The North symbolizes Wisdom; the south is a place of Innocence and trust. The west is the Looks-within Place, which speaks of the nature of man. The east is the place of illumination, where we can see things clearly far and wide. The teachings of the wheel can also cover the four aspects of the Human Personality – the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual; the seasons- the changing from fall, winter, spring and summer, the four stages of life – childhood, adolescence, adulthood, and elders; the four races – red, white, black and yellow, and the four elements – water, air, fire, and earth. Traditional teachings on the medicine wheel view life as a continuous cycle; life mirrors the cycling of the seasons, the daily rising of the sun, and the phases of the moon. The idea being that all things are interrelated. The Medicine Wheel incorporates the Powers of the Four Directions and the interrelatedness of all things. Many believe that today a medicine wheel is a way of making sacred space more real and more visible. It is believed to hold great power and create change and healing. It is a mapping of the sacred landscape we live in. The wheel is spinning and rotating like Mother Earth. Often the

What’s Wrong With Me??? What you’re about to read may be shocking to you….It may be the answer to your prayers or the answer to your question, “What’s wrong with me?” Everything you eat, drink, or handle could be inviting unwanted guests to set up home…inside your body. Most people do not want to even think of the possibility of it being true, but it is the reality of the world in which we live in. There could be a nest of hungry beasts living under our skin…worms invisible to the human eye that might look harmless but they are nature’s deadliest creatures. They can hijack our bodies and disable our immune systems…they are PARASITES. How many people do you know that may be seriously ill and can’t get better? How many women are suffering from hormone problems, depression, chronic fatigue, mood swings and hot flashes and maybe just being unhappy with life. How many people have digestive problems and are only going to the bathroom once a day or maybe not going at all for some days? How many people are suffering with uncontrollable blood sugar problems or high blood pressure? Here are some of the effects parasites have on people: Allergies – they can inflame body tissue and lead to allergic reactions, especially to certain foods…. Anemia – worms can leach nutrients from our body; and can create enough blood loss to cause a type of iron deficiency…. Digestive disturbances, constipation, diarrhea: some worms live in the upper small intestines, causing both gas and bloating…. Fatigue - Chronic Fatigue, flu-like symptoms, apathy and depression…. Growths – Parasites are also found in cancer patients. There is some discussion about whether the parasites abound in the body due to a weakened immune system or if they are a factor in the cause of degenerative diseases or both…. Nervousness – anxiety, restlessness, grinding teeth – Parasitic waste can ir18
ritate the central nervous system… Intoxication – parasite waste toxins can produce symptoms such as dizziness, unclear thinking, high and low blood sugar, hunger pains and poor digestion… With all the money being funneled into research and technology today, it’s hard to believe that so many people still have such poor health…Instead of experiencing better health; most people in America are deteriorating. Where are all of these problems coming from? Well let me tell you….It could be Parasites according to Dr. Oz, the now famous Oprah Winfrey guest who says…”ninety percent of humans will have a problem with parasites in their lifetime.” Parasites are not just something that other people get – reserved for citizens of developing countries. Everywhere we go, doing just about everything we do; Americans are vulnerable to parasite infestation. Now look around at ten people near you and ask yourself, “How many of these people were tested for parasites and how many of them were treated for them? If there are problems with parasites in other countries….then doesn’t it make sense that they’re around us too? Here you are sitting reading this article...right? You’re probably asking yourself …How can parasites possible live in my body and I don’t even know they’re there? The answer to this question is simple. A smart invader lives without being detected because if it is detected, of course, something is going to be done to eradicate it. If you think these organisms are stupid, think again. They are highly intelligent invaders in their ability to survive and reproduce. Often it’s only when the parasite dies that the hosts realizes that they had an infection and by then it can be too late; You might ask yourself, “ How do we become infected?” …. Some causes of infection can be linked to: The widespread import of produce without adequate testing….The increase of Americans traveling internationally….Immigrants coming to America from infected third world countries, many of which may be working in restaurants handling our food…Many Americans having pets for their children. Dogs can transmit 65
w w w . B o d y M iADVERTISMENT ndSpiritGUIDE.com
known parasites to humans, while cats can transmit 40 known parasites. How many of these pets are sleeping on our beds and pillows or just sleeping with us?...The increased use of antibiotics and other medications that can lower our immunity and weaken our bodies …where parasites can take over. How about the increased use of day-care centers where children pass parasites to each other while playing…Then there’s the new ethnic restaurants with raw, undercooked meats…And let’s not forget “The sexual revolution”. People are still squeamish when it comes to parasites, although the issue has been around for as long as mankind. We can accept our pets or people in third world countries as having parasites, yet we tend to be naïve about having parasites ourselves. Reality is that we are not immune to these critters. For the most part, we do not notice the effects of parasites on our systems, mostly because we have adapted to them and attributed other issues to their effects. As you can see parasites can cause many health problems. In our office we test for Parasites and Major Foods and Immune Challenges (Viruses, Flu Viruses, Retro Viruses, four different types of Bacteria, and four different types of Fungus) and also Heavy Metals and Toxic Chemicals. All of these tests are done for a single fee of $45. With these tests we can identify the parasites that are affection you and determine what other factors are contributing to your health concerns.

Try this for a Healthy Breakfast… You’re Going to Love It
Cover the top with parchment paper first and then aluminum foil on top. You might ask why the parchment paper between the food and aluminum foil? Aluminum foil when hot can release aluminum into the food. Too much aluminum in the brain has been known to cause Alzheimer’s.
Even though a lot of cereals aren’t good for you, I have a healthy breakfast casserole that you can eat hot or cold, at anytime of the day. Start off with a…. 9”x 11” glass pan. One small Eggplant or three Zucchinis - sliced at ¼ inch thickness One large Sweet Potato or White Potato (or both if you like) - sliced 6 to 8 oz of whole mushrooms - sliced (optional) One large Red or Purple Onion - sliced Two or more Red Tomatoes – sliced Layer all these ingredients in the above order in a casserole pan. You can add sea salt and fresh ground pepper in between layers or just on top. Now drizzle ¼ cup of virgin olive oil over the tomatoes.

Bake covered at 400 degrees for 45 minutes. Uncover the pan and sprinkle goat cheese all over the top. Then bake uncovered at 400 degrees for 15 minutes. I tell my patients to always use organic vegetables…they taste so much better and they have so many more vitamins and minerals. This recipe is low in calories, and it’s not going to hurt your waistline. Most important is that your children will feel so much better eating this and going to school. Parents…we need to redefine what breakfast should be. Enjoy and God Bless, Dr Michael D. Reggish, D.C., N.D. Reggish Holistic Wellness, 31586 Schoolcraft Rd., Livonia.

Improve Your Health...and Your Libido? The Body Mind Spirit Guide first featured Surrinder Arora of Certified Energetics last August. In that issue, she shared her remarkable story describing her recovery from debilitating headaches, incapacitating fatigue and frozen shoulder. As lifealtering journeys do, this experience challenged her belief system about why people don’t heal and how they can. Taking charge of her health and her life, she continued healing and learning. As she struggled to regain her health, Surrinder also answered the call to become a certified Bowenwork Practitioner. This was a stunning turnaround since she initially and reluctantly agreed to try Bowenwork at her concerned daughter’s urging. Pleased by the considerable progress she made in a relatively short amount of time, Surrinder was hooked. Because Bowenwork induces a significant degree of relaxation and stress reduction, it prompted healing in her body where other therapies had not. Recognized as a noninvasive, holistic pain relief therapy, Bowenwork comprises a gentle touch technique on the client’s neuro-musculoskeletal framework at precise locations on muscles, tendon and ligaments resulting in deep relaxation and profound healing. Gratefully, Surrinder found relief physically, mentally, emotionally and energetically. As a Bowenwork Practitioner, Surrinder is in a new phase of her journey that allows her to share this healing modality with people who also suffer from chronic illness. Each client’s success reaffirmed her conviction in Bowenwork, and in herself. She graciously shared numerous high points she experienced with clients in her practice. An anesthesiologist who came to Surrinder shared her initial skepticism 20
of the efficacy of Bowenwork. Despite that fact, he had run out of options enduring lifelong allergy problems and agreed to Bowenwork. After the very first session, he felt noticeably better. His breathing improved, as did his sleep patterns. He became increasingly enthusiastic regarding subsequent visits to Surrinder as each session produced better results. By the fourth visit, his allergies greatly diminished and he felt renewed energy. He also had bouts of indigestion, yet that, too, improved. Indeed his position on Bowenwork escalated from doubter to believer. Despite everything a practitioner is taught, sometimes a client observes unexpected health improvements. Such was the case when a 74 year-old man visited Surrinder with various physical complaints. After just two Bowenwork sessions, this man began to feel better overall and had a startling report for Surrinder: increased libido! While sexual dysfunction wasn’t discussed, it appeared that he experienced this added benefit. To her surprise, Surrinder witnessed this phenomenon repeatedly. She took it all in stride feeling it was a healthy alternative to performance enhancing medications. While results vary, clients will typically experience improved symptoms within three to five Bowenwork sessions. Since there is no better time to get started, Surrinder is offering a free first session if you schedule your first appointment before January 31, 2012. What a great way to start your New Year.

GINGER’S CAFE CATER’S First and foremost, our beautiful Café is dedicated to catering to each valued guest. Like accommodating a request for special seating in the much sought after private dining room to creating impromptu meals and desserts. Last week, a lovely lady wanted a petite dessert. I inquired if she liked bananas. With a positive response, I created a mini banana frosted ice cream sundae for her enjoyment. Ginger’s Cafe is creative and spontaneous. I often tell guests, “if it is in my kitchen and you have the time, I will make you your hearts desire”. We are also mindful of special needs and requests. We are extremely vegetarian friendly and will do dishes and desserts that are gluten free and do our best to accommodate those with allergies to specific food items. When you walk in to the Cafe you will observe some of our sweet offerings; chocolate covered potato chips, chocolate caramel pretzel sticks, turtles, cashew clusters, old fashion dessert squares, mini cupcakes and a variety of cakes. We can create themed cakes like Hello Kitty. Right now we have a cake shaped like a bear with a winter scarf. It is a chocolate cake with chocolate butter cream frosting. One very special, unique offering we have is the traditional checkerboard cake. This makes a beautiful presentation and is delicious. This may be enjoyed in house, ordered for parties that we host here or you may order one to go for a gift or to serve at home. One more specialty we prepare is a lovely white cake with a raspberry, heartshaped filling. We can also do this in chocolate. The most recent addition to our dessert creations is a caramel cake with a banana cream filling. This cake is TO LIVE FOR. Enjoy this January 2012
with a cup of caramel tea for a truly decadent experience. All offering are made from scratch, using only the finest ingredients. Please note that if you are diabetic we always have individual apple and cherry sugar-free tarts that are mouth-watering and very popular. Second, let us cater your next event. We love to do sweet tables and breakfast meetings and events. Our specialties include assorted mini muffins, scones and European style cheese & fruit platters. Ginger’s is also able to bring “High Tea” to you. We will do dinner parties and events that we custom create based on your vision of what the perfect occasion looks like. We can provide all aspects of party planning from music, photography to flowers. Over the years we have had artists create special murals and had matching custom mugs for events. The sky is the limit when we join our imaginations to create your perfect celebration.

Spiritual Horoscopes
Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) – Happy birthday Capricorn! This is a wonderful month for healing your mind and thoughts. You can be extremely self-critical and downright mean to yourself. Meditate and focus on kind messages. Forgive yourself for human frailties. Ask people who care about you, and they’ll tell you those “awful” traits make you loveable. Aim to view yourself with the same level of appreciation and compassion!
Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) – The planet Mars is turning retrograde, making you look at issues intimacy, sexuality and trust. Even if you’ve never had betrayal in your romantic life, you can be guarded and overly independent. Mars is working these next six months to help you learn to let go and surrender to love! Watch out for being critical of your partner, because it’s just a way to cover up your fear of merging deeply. Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20) – You are healing your self-esteem at a very deep level. Be aware that feeling defensive or being argumentative is a way of protecting yourself, since you feel so vulnerable. You’ve shed old skin, and the new skin is very tender. Even though this could be an emotionally bumpy month, you’ll feel very solid by the New Year. You can even start a new relationship, with someone who is

courageous enough to be him/herself fully – or, you’ll recognize the warriorlike commitment your current partner has for you! Aries (March 21 – April 19) – It’s important for you to really get the connection between your health and your moods. You’re more physically sensitive than you’d like to admit! Does caffeine make you edgy and angry? Does junk food make you depressed? Treat your body with respect so you can be in your “highest self” more frequently. Make time to feed yourself right, rest when you need and meditate to refresh your soul! Taurus (April 20 – May 20) – Meditate on your relationships. See if you have unrealistic expectations of partners. Maybe you have walls up because of past romantic disappointments. Ask your soul to help you release illusions, while still maintaining healthy standards. Also, make sure you’re having enough fun in your life. Play with kids or pets. Go to an art exhibit. Join a sports team. Lighten up and laugh! These are forms of healing that will create balance and joy! Gemini (May 21 – June 20) – Meditate and work on releasing anger at family members. This could be childhood memories, or current issues with people you live (or even work) with. Once you do this inner healing, you’ll feel a greater level of serenity – even with people who are still annoying! You could also be getting a new job, or a promotion. In general, professional talents will unfold over these next six months, so be hopeful and eager! Cancer (June 21 – July 22) – You could feel very irritated this month, so take some deep breaths before you get into intense or triggering conversations. Cancers always need to watch out for
www.BodyMindSpiritGUIDE.com
patterns of blaming others. It’s good to take stock of the past two years and see what your “contribution” to difficult circumstances was. Take responsibility, but don’t beat yourself up! Forgive yourself and others involved. You’ll feel a flooding of relief and happiness. Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22) – You will have deep healing around financial worthiness issues, as well as selfesteem struggles and intimacy fears. Meditate on abundance. There is enough money to go around! There is enough love for everyone! You deserve all that the Universe has to offer! (And that is an endless supply of good!) Positive affirmations will have a big impact on how you feel in your own skin, as well as in your closest relationships. Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22) – You’ve been making so many strides with career, relationships and self-confidence. Now that Mars is turning retrograde in your sign, watch out for flagging spirits. If you have set-backs, meditate on ways to become even more effective. Look for ways to reduce stress and worry. Trust that success is your birthright! Maybe you’re pushing too hard and need to let things unfold naturally instead. Be gentle and forgiving with yourself, and just make changes that occur to you. Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22) – Meditate and clear away anger, disappointment and self-judgment from the past two years. Mars is retrograde and wants to help you remove old subconscious debris that would keep you from feeling super happy in the future. You want to be ready to absorb all the power of Mars in Libra six months from now. Journal your emotions and burn the papers, or tear them up. If you do this inner work, you’ll also find you’ll be healthier, less stressed and will be able to solve irritating problems much easier. Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) – This is a month for deep healing about relationships. Meditate and release January 2012
events that have caused you to be suspicious of love. You have a window of opportunity to open up to wonderfully positive relationships, so don’t miss out by being stuck in the past! If already coupled, you’ll notice a renewed sense of love and appreciation with your partner. Also, take a good look at friends and see if they are truly supportive of you – and if they are, make sure you let them be supportive! Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) – Be patient if you need to make changes at work. People seem extra frustrating right now! Beware of your sarcastic humor, which is definitely hilarious, but can also get you in major trouble at this time! Meditate to help yourself deal with irritations. Even a deep breath or two could be a mini-meditation when you’re faced with a “situation”. It’s an important spiritual step to resolve these issues and not just abandon ship or run away.

HEALING ENERGY FOR YOU Spiritual healing for Physical, Emotional, Mental and Spiritual well being Jule’s practice, “Healing Energy for You”, involves helping her clients move through many forms of physical or emotional pain, energetic imbalances or spiritual disturbances. Your body, mind and soul are all parts of your energetic self so physical symptoms involve healing at the emotional and spiritual level as well as vice versa. Jules uses many healing modalities to successfully work energetically with a wide range of symptoms including but not limited to: • • • • • • • • •
Physical pain in any area of the body Stress and Anxiety Irrational Fears Feelings of helplessness Chronic Headaches Relationship Issues Addictions Compulsive behaviours Issues dealing with past lives and soul contracts
It’s 2012. Another year has gone by. How did it go for you? Were you able to learn and grow and make higher choices for yourself or have you remained stuck in old patterns that you find hard to break? Many people are holding on to their stories despite an intention to let go. But the ego mind is doing everything it can to resist that. When we set an intention, it causes energy to move. When we resist, we hold on to our old stories. This too is energy that is stuck or frozen in place. When two forces come together one moving and the other unmoving, that creates friction and friction creates heat. You may feel this heat in your life by way of anger, resentment, judgment of others, heaviness of heart, drama, depression, illness, pain, discomfort, anxiety, restlessness, lack, limitation, fear. Have you ever felt any of these? How have you progressed in the last year at overcoming these states of being? If you decide to continue to hold on this year, it is going to get worse for you. You will need to decide when Enough is Enough. It’s Going To Get Worse

Make 2012 Count; When Is Enough, Enough?
These feelings are going to get worse for you in 2012 unless you decide to choose differently. We all know that one literal interpretation of 12/12/12 is that the Mayan’s predicted the end of time. A different and perhaps more accurate interpretation is that forces are at work * to assist humanity in ending time as we know it. The root cause of the symptoms noted above is frozen in time. When we forgive the past, we set the energy free that is causing our pain. We Were Created Perfect We are created perfect by a perfect being, born perfect, and nothing can change that. That which is perfect cannot create that which is imperfect. But we forget who we are. What happened is that we made certain interpretations early in our childhood that caused us to believe we were not that which we are. We sought to get unconditional love from our parents and others yet they were incapable of giving it to us; therefore, we created stories that led to belief systems that are the root of all our suffering. Joy Will Be Ours These are the filters for which we view and judge life. These energies, however, are energies of the past. When we view life through these filters, we are viewing life from the past. We
www.BodyMindSpiritGUIDE.com
January 2012
are not living in the present. When we choose to not live in the present, the presents (Gifts of Spirit) that are meant for us from Presence cannot be realized. This is what is meant by the end of time. We are being helped to end the hold the past has over us and come into the present. When we do this, freedom will be ours for the past no longer binds us. We will be free to create whatever we want with ease and effortless. Our pain and suffering will diminish. Our lives will be filled with health, well being, joy, peace and passion. It’s Your Choice The choice is yours. Remember it is going to get harder and harder to hold on to the old ways. Your suffering will get worse if that is your choice. We are already seeing it with many of our clients. There are many healing therapies and tools to help you. Learn about them and use them. Together, let’s make a commitment to let go of the past, forgive it and free ourselves to be co creators with God. Together we can create the good, the holy and the beautiful. * It may be useful to relate the Mayan Calendar to other cosmologies. The complete Mayan Calendar covers 25,600 years while the complete zodiac covers 25,800 years. Hmmmm, a coincidence? Hardly. From an astrological perspective, many astrologers believe that 50 years ago began the end of the Age of Pisces and the beginning of the Age of Aquarius. The central point in clock time when the energies from both ages were equal was the Harmonic Convergence that occurred in 1987. 2012 now sees the complete passing of the Age of Pisces and the complete birth of the Age of Aquarius. This is a movement from getting our power and answers from others versus going inward and recognizing our own godhood. We will move from managing and controlling things from the stories we created in our mind to allowing our heart to lead.

From a Christian cosmological perspective, the Book of Revelation prophesizes the Second Coming of Christ. A literal interpretation is that He will literally appear in form and we will ascend with Him into heaven. Another interpretation is that the Christ (Love) energy will return to earth and awaken us from the veil of separation we keep in our hearts when we choose to hold onto our stories of the past. We will ascend above our beliefs of separation, lack and imperfection and create heaven right here on earth.

Weight No More Every year the top New Year’s resolution is to lose weight! Some will be successful in achieving this goal, while others will not. January is known as Weight Loss Month. There are many programs promoting weight loss, but which will really work for you? Simple diet changes that will assist in a weight loss journey include decreasing the sugars and carbohydrates in your diet. Consuming only 60 grams of sugars daily will result in weight loss. Your body can only burn fat when there is no sugar present in your blood. Eating more than the 60 grams of sugars will cause your body to store the excess sugars, resulting in weight gain. What is recognized as sugar? The answer is all refined carbohydrates. That means all grains, pastas, cereals, breads, pastries, candy, potatoes, corn and chips are all converted into sugar in your body. Fruits and vegetables also contain carbohydrates, but their content is much less than processed grains. A simple weight loss tip that will work is to eat twice the number of vegetables to fruits, and to avoid all grains and potatoes. Just eliminating the excess sugars in your diet will allow your body to start to burn excess fat. Combining this simple diet change with some light exercise will help increase your metabolism, or the rate at which your body burns food or calories for energy. The easiest and most gentle exercise is walking. Walking just 20 minutes a day at a moderate pace will help to burn the calories away, as well as elevate 26
your mood for several hours. There is more to weight loss than just reducing your carbohydrate intake. You will lose weight with a calorie-restricted diet, only to have the weight return when you resume normal eating again. Your body has to have the correct nutrition to release the stored fat, and to help it make fat burning hormones. Fat burning hormones are made in your liver. From clinical experience, the best weight loss programs include nutritional support to help your liver do its job to melt away the weight. One job of your liver is to store excess sugars and carbohydrates. This creates unwanted body fat, while storing unwanted toxins. Helping your liver release the stored body fat and toxins will help you lose weight faster. These specific detox weight-loss programs melt away pounds, as they cleanse the liver and body of toxins, impurities, and stored body fat. Adding detoxification nutrition to weight -loss programs increases weight loss. Clinically these programs really are effective. There are University Studies that showed that in just one week people who participate in specific detox weight loss programs experienced the following: • Glucose dropped by 3.7% • Bad cholesterol dropped by 5% • Triglycerides dropped by 19.3% • 3.02% lost in body fat. • 7.5 pounds lost. • 7.63 inches lost in total. The question is will a detox weight loss program work for you? The answer is yes, if your body has no other issues. If your hormones are out of balance, it can influence the speed of your weight loss. All of your hormones should work together, like a family. When one part of your hormonal system is not work-
www.BodyMindSpiritGUIDE.com
ing optimally, it causes stress on the rest of the hormonal family. Stress is primarily handled by your adrenal glands. The adrenal glands work very closely with the thyroid. Your thyroid has to be working well for your body to lose weight. Your thyroid determines your overall metabolism, or the rate that your body burns calories when you are not exercising. It is vital to provide the proper nutritional support for the adrenal glands and/or thyroid to support them during weight loss. Adequate water intake is also essential to lose those unwanted pounds. You need to drink half your body weight in ounces of good, clean healthy water to keep your body hydrated, and to help flush out the stored toxins. Sugar cravings will decrease when you drink a sufficient quantity of healthy water, helping you to lose even more weight. Dieting alone may not be enough to help you lose weight. The question becomes what else besides a simple diet change will work for you? The answer is a diet program that is specific for you. There is no one size fits all diets, just like there is no one size fits all pairs of pants. Clothes need to be fitted for you, as does the diet program and food that you eat. Most alternative holistic wellness practitioners offer a no charge New Year’s weight loss evaluation that can determine how you can best lose weight, and turn your body into an effective fat burning machine.

For several years, I had the honor of giving self-acceptance sessions to a gentleman very dedicated to the path of God. In each session, he struggled to accept his guilt and to know he was unconditionally loved. Because he had just a tiny bit of guilt and anger that would arise from time to time, he felt like an impostor to God. As each session progressed he moved into greater self-acceptance, eventually living his dream and expressing his Spirit in writing. My friend recently died, and at his fu“Helping You Back on the neral I saw how incredibly loved he was. Hun-Road to Good Healthâ€? dreds of people were touched by his kindness. Yet he never saw it.

any expectation of its return. But isn’t giving and receiving the same? In fully receiving Love you receive your Self or God. If you are someone who has given much Love in your life, it is time to open and allow yourself to fully receive the Love you give. God is not some abstract concept. God expresses as people. Everything is God, right? Source/God experiences It’s Self through you. You can open to God’s Love, an animal’s love, love from nature or love from a baby. But it is harder for you to open to love from an adult person. Why? Because our mind doesn’t feel safe, it wants control. It is that simple. The only reason you feel so much love from an animal or baby is because you feel safe to open. You are the key factor in the equation, not the other person, animal, or condition. When you open to Love from another person, you experience Love and heaven on Earth in a tangible way. Life/Love seeks to support you, it is already here. Just open up and receive. You are afraid to open to Love. Other times when you were open to Love you got hurt. But you only continue to hurt you by remaining closed. If you decide to open your heart and see how loved you are, you will have the next best year of your life. One of the quickest ways to manifest what you want is to allow Life/Love to live through you. This requires receiving Love. You don’t have to make Love happen. You don’t have to find Love. Love already Is. If you receive Love from just one person who Loves you, (past or present) you will be set free. Love, bless, forgive, and accept your resistance to Love. If you had no resistance to Love/God, you would be in Bliss and Inner Peace. To open to this possibility, you can say these affirmations: I allow myself to be Loved. I am willing to see how much I am Loved. Notice the tension and resistance in your body. Feel it with non-reaction. Feeling is healing. Notice if your mind says “That’s not true, I have experienced situations to the contrary.” Love, bless, and forgive the situations. Then say the affirmation again. FEEL what it would feel like to live this statement. As you do, you open your heart to the Love that is waiting for you to let it in. It Is there. Just receive.

Keeping Some things you keep; like good teeth, warm coats and bald husbands. They’re good for you, reliable and practical and so meaningful that to throw them away would make the garbage man a thief. So you hang on, because something old is sometimes better than something new, and what you know often better than a stranger. These are my thoughts. They make me sound old; old and tame and dull at a time when everybody else is risky and racy and flashing all that’s new and improved in their lives. New spouses, new careers, new thighs, and even new lips. The world is dizzy with trade-ins. I could keep track, but I don’t think I want to. .I grew up in the fifties with practical parents - a mother, God bless her who washed aluminum foil after she cooked in it, then re-used it- and still does. A father who was happier getting old shoes fixed than buying new ones. They weren’t poor, my parents, they were just satisfied. Their marriage was good, their dreams focused. Their best friends lived barely a wave away. I can see them now; Fifties couples in Bermuda shorts and Banlon sweaters, lawn mower in one hand, tools in the other. The tools were for fixing things - a curtain rod, the kitchen radio, screen door, the oven door, and the hem in a dress. Things you keep. It was a way of life, and sometimes it made me crazy. All that re-fixing, re-heating, re-newing, I wanted just once to be wasteful. Waste meant affluence. Throwing things away meant there’d always be more. But then my father died, and on that clear autumn night, in the chill of the hospital room, I was struck with the pain of learning that sometimes there isn’t any ‘more’. Sometimes what you care about most gets all used up and goes away, never to return. So, while you have it, it’s best to love it and care for it and fix it when it’s broken and heal it when it’s sick. That’s true for marriage and old cars and children with bad report cards and dogs with bad hips. You keep them because they’re worth it, because you’re worth it. Some things you keep.

YOU
ASK THE GUIDE... Questions from our readers..... Q.: I did something that has upset my relatives. My mom’s brother died at birth. There’s no headstone on his grave. When my mom went to get him one, she learned that my great-grandfather’s headstone was on top of my uncle’s plot. His spirit has come to me several times in the last two years. I felt that this was a sign to rectify the situation. I bought a headstone for my uncle and moved my great grandfather’s headstone to its rightful place. My aunt saw this, was upset, and insisted that it had been right. Though I believe that I did the right thing, my family is unhappy. I know that now he’s at peace and so am I! What do you see for this situation? A.: We must consider messages from Spirit that concern other people than ourselves in a different light. When we deal in the spirit realm, like anything else, ethical considerations are important. The effect of our actions on the living is something we need to consider. Once we move on to the spiritual plane, earthly problems and concerns no longer affect us. Graves and headstones are for the living, to help them remember those who have passed over, and not for those who have died. Once a person enters the Kingdom of Light, there is no longing and no “death,” in the sense that we know it. There is life and light for those in that realm. This concept is hard for us to comprehend, since it isn’t visible to many of us. In this situation, I see your family’s anger and displeasure that stems from your actions. They feel hurt that you didn’t consult them. They appear very protective about these gravesites and objects of remembrance. They appear to feel as if you bypassed them in a monumental decision.

Think about this. You may not realize it, but it’s 100% true. 1. At least 2 people in this world love you so much they would die for you. 2. At least 15 people in this world love you in some way. 3. A smile from you can bring happiness to anyone, even if they don’t like you. 4. Every night, SOMEONE thinks about you before they go to sleep. 5. You mean the world to someone. 6. If not for you, someone may not be living. 7. You are special and unique. 8. When you think you have no chance of getting what you want, you probably won’t get it, but if you trust God to do what’s best, and wait on His time, sooner or later, you will get it or something better. 9. When you make the biggest mistake ever, something good can still come from it. 10. When you think the world has turned its back on you, take a look: you most likely turned your back on the world. 11. Someone that you don’t even know exists, loves you. 12. Always remember the compliments you received. Forget about the rude remarks. 13. Always tell someone how you feel about them; you will feel much better when they know and you’ll both be happy. 14. If you have a great friend, take the time to let them know that they are great.

Time Is Of The Essence I have said many times over that the energy in our world is trembling and moving way too fast for us to keep up with it. If we cannot keep up with it how can we expect our children to keep up. It is them that I fear for. We have been selfish in our cross roads and in too much of a hurry to grab and reach all new heights, in getting what it is we want in our lives, instead of seeking out the goodness and the loving part and watching it nurture into being. We have been what everyone expected us to be. Running, never stopping and looking around. Time is always of the essence and never enough of it. We have heard all the excuses. We know them all by heart. We have used them to make ourselves feel better about what it is we do. We have come to the part in our lives where we are tired… We want more of the good loving energy that we misplaced. It is time to take a good hard look at what we are doing in our own lives and how we affect other lives. This life, your life, my life connects to so many other lives. It is not always about you and me. It is about the universal being. The Confidential Readings by

connection is divine LOVE and how we can once again learn to connect to the inner light that lies within each of us waiting patiently for us to seek it out. We must learn to connect not only us but our children who have gotten lost along the way. How can they go through this world of ours not armed in LOVE? How will they survive in a world where they were never taught the basics? When they were never given the foundation on how to reach the light that so graciously gives of us what we seek in this world of today. We must become aware of who we are and what it is we need in this lifetime of ours, not just today or tomorrow but in the future of all mankind. The universal being is about love, about connection, about sharing what we have all learned. It is about giving of oneself to another. It is about the light, the connection to your God, and my God, being one and the same, about LOVE and sharing the goodness he represents. If you have enjoyed this message, then you will enjoy.

God’s Help There was only one person alive on the small island. He prayed everyday asking God to send someone to rescue him. Every day he looked around for God’s help but he couldn’t find it. Tired of waiting, he made a shelter to protect himself and protect his few possessions. But then one day, after looking for food, he came back to find his little shelter on fire. The worse thing was that everything he owned was burned. He was confused and mad at God. He asked God, “why did you do this to me?” and he fell asleep over the sand. Early the next morning, he heard the sound of a boat that came close to the island. They were rescuers. He asked them how they knew he was there. The rescuers said to him that they saw the smoke signals he made. It’s easy to get mad at things when they go wrong, but we shouldn’t lose our heart, because God is working in our lives. Remember, the next time your small house is on fire, it might simply be a smoke signal that comes from God. For every negative thing that happens to us, we should tell ourselves, “God has a positive answer to this”. “For I know the plans that I have for you, says the Lord, plans for good and not for evil, to give you a future and a hope.” - Jeremiah 29:11 31
DOUBLE CHECKING YOUR INTUITION Was that my intuition or was I just making something up? That is an all-toocommon question that follows an intuitive impulse. It is human nature to second guess information that cannot be proven with facts and figures. Doubting one’s intuition occurs constantly for almost everyone. Distrusting intuition and thereby discarding its potential benefits can be compared to getting letters in the mail and burning them unread. Or you could think of intuition as a lamp that is lit in your consciousness only to have you turn it off and grope around in the dark. Intuition provides information that cannot be proven by using statistics, studies, polls, Goggle, friends’ opinions, Wikipedia, one’s teachers, religious authorities, or any book or source of written or spoken data. This type of information is valuable and necessary. It comes from left brain sources of information. It’s just that the left brain is only half of the brain. It is critical to include the right, intuitive/creative brain for decision making.. In our “logic” driven culture, the left brain is almost always the louder voice. The right brain brings messages that are routinely dismissed. Everyone has gut feelings, hunches, and other intuitive messages. Rather than disregarding these communications, it is useful to 32
pay attention to the subtle feelings you have, which are very often intuitive and, if so, are 100% accurate. As you start paying closer attention to your intuitive impulses, how do you learn to trust them? I highly recommend double checking this information by using another intuitive tool. Let’s say you get a feeling that a pain in your body should be checked out by a doctor or that a particular job that interests you would be a perfect fit. Here are some ways to determine whether your intuition is giving you an important message: • Ask for a visual symbol to come into your mind. This could be thumbs up or thumbs down, a red or green traffic light, a smiling or frowning face, or a geyser that shoots up if the information is accurate. • Get into a quiet state of mind and ask for a guide or angel to help you, and write down what you hear with your inner, intuitive ear. • Ask for a bell to ring in your inner ear for a yes or a buzzer to sound out a no. This will usually be experienced as a feeling of the sound, rather than an out-loud sound. • Use a pendulum to get a yes or no. • Tune in to your belly, heart, throat, or third eye and see whether your impression lines up with the feeling you get from your body.
www.BodyMindSpiritGUIDE.com
If you are doing a reading for someone and an unusual message comes into your mind, you can do an instant verification of the information before saying it out loud. This will provide valuable reassurance of its accuracy. When I do a reading, whether channeled or clairvoyant, I use a tool to double check unusual, unexpected types of information. For example, if I “get” that someone is going to procure a job in a foreign country, I mentally ask for a geyser to appear in my mind. It’s my favorite tool for instant confirmation. If the geyser shoots up strong and high, it is a confirmation that what I received was intuitive and correct. If it is a faint, wimpy geyser, I would know that the information was not from my intuition. It is very, very rare for the geyser to not confirm what I sense. This will almost surely be your experience as well, if you double check what seems to be an intuitive hit, something from out of the blue. Double checking your intuition by using a tool will help develop your intuition rapidly. You will have greater confidence in your right brain information as you verify that the message is right on—absolutely trustworthy information to help guide you in any area of life.

“Jesus taught us how to forgive out of love and how to forget out of humility. So let us examine our hearts and see if there is any unforgiven hurt -- any unforgotten bitterness! It is easy to love those who are far away. It isn’t always easy to love those who are right next to us. It is easier to offer food to the hungry than to answer the lonely suffering of someone who lacks love right in one’s own family. The world today is upside down because there is so very little love in the home, and in family life. We have no time for each other. Everybody is in such a terrible rush, and so anxious ... and in the home begins the disruption of the peace of the world. “

Rhodonite January is a time to start amazing new resolutions to help manifest a karma clear and amazing year. To manifest such things, the best way is to clear that of the past that doesn’t serve you or your goals. Rhodonite is an incredible stone of compassion. It is an emotional balancer that clears away emotional wounds and scars from the past, and stimulates, clears and activates the heart chakra. It heals emotional shock, panic, stress, nightmares, doubt, heartache, and loss. This is a big rescue stone as it helps you to feel safer and secure within yourself. Rhodonite aids in cases of emotional self-destruction, codependency and abuse, exhibiting the alternative roads one could take to stop the patterns they have created. This realization can be very upsetting and rhodonite helps you to remain calm in the most dangerous or challenging of situations. This also will easily assist in giving you the confidence and self worth you have been searching for. Due to the black inflections in Rhodonite, it also helps ground your energy in the Root Chakra, balance the yin-yang (male and female) channels in the body, and aids in achieving one’s highest po-
tential. It encourages unconditional love, self-confidence and forgiveness. Rhodonite helps communicate with tact, delicacy and courtesy. This also alleviates confusion in all aspects of life. Healers of all types deeply benefit from wearing this stone as it helps protect our energies from being attacked while doing energy/bodywork and helps to remove fear of anything being attached to us so we can do the healing work necessary without worry of anything being attached to our energetic fields. This stone helps to strengthen personal mantras, chanting, affirmations, singing and toning. Rhodonite relieves insect bites; aids bone growth, speech and hearing problems. It can stimulate fertility when deep seeded reproductive problems are present. Many times rhodonite has been used to help heart disorders, strep throat inflammation, light sensitivity, emphysema, auto-immune diseases, stomach ulcers, and eases inflammation of joints and arthritis.

POWER OF AFFIRMATIONS One night around midnight, feeling the urge to urinate, a 7 year-old boy wakes up and walks down the hallway toward the bathroom. Along the way, he peers into his widowed mother’s bedroom and there, in the dim light, he sees her lying naked on her back, sensuously caressing her thighs, abdomen and breasts with her fingers, moaning, “I want a man! Oh! I want a man!” The little boy is puzzled, but continues down the hallway to go relieve himself at the toilet. The next night, during the wee hours, the little boy again is feeling the urge to go urinate. Walking down the hallway, he hears some sounds emanating from his mom’s bedroom, and he looks inside to see that his mother is playing amorously with a man. The little boy does not know what to make of this.... Then, while urinating, the little boy suddenly gets an inspired idea. Finishing off his business, he quickly runs back to his own bedroom, peels off his pajamas, jumps onto his bed, and begins running his fingers along his naked body, moaning: “Oh, I want a bicycle! Oh, I want a bicycle!!”

The Integration of Western Traditional Medicine and Eastern Natural Health Approaches Western medicine depends on identification of and naming a disease from the symptoms with relief of those symptoms using medications and perhaps suggesting lifestyle changes. Unfortunately with the health system demands, physician face to face contact now averages 7 minutes so support and details on how and why to change is often breezed over with little attention. Multiple tests are used from testing blood or urine, x-rays, ultrasounds and many other diagnostic tools as required. Many of those medications cause side effects and huge numbers of hospitalizations and even deaths occur every year. Our health is rated 47th in the world. This is determined by longevity, birth mortality etc. We need to look at what other countries are doing to improve outcomes. Many foreign medical doctors also use (and are trained unlike our medical doctors) in natural approach using herbs, homeopathic remedies and lifestyle improvements. Someone once asked me if our health and care are so bad why are we living longer than we used to? I respond that yes we are living longer than our grandparents but in what condition and quality of life do we live? Chronic illnesses are on the rise such as cancer, diabetes, arthritis, digestive issues such as gastric reflux disease. We often attribute usual aging to our symptoms and do not address the causative factors. These often are NOT normal signs of aging! We are a society dependent on medications to take care of our ills expecting immediate results but this truly is the band-aid approach! These medications can be and are dangerous! Perhaps it is time to take a holistic approach and consider a wellness approach instead of January 2012
treating the after effects. This approach can integrate Eastern natural wellness techniques and Western medicine quite nicely if the health care providers work together for the common and highest good of the client. Some Medical doctors are becoming more open to Natural Health techniques and willing to partner with Natural Health Professionals for the benefit of the client. Unfortunately there are many lobbyists especially the drug companies that continue to work furiously to discredit and eliminate Natural Health choices for us all. An Eastern approach (thousands of years old with tried and true results) depends on identifying stressors to prevent the illness from occurring by identifying the relationship between physical health, diet, activity, emotional and spiritual (not necessarily religious) attitudes as well as the environmental factors. The Natural Health Professional when trained to do so can use many techniques to identify strengths and weaknesses of the system caused by hereditary factors, the foods we eat or do not eat, our posture, color and condition of our skin, the appearance and condition of our tongue, and even our fingernails. It is believed that these traits externalize before a person even experiences symptoms. A wise Natural Health Professional looks for patterns in their holistic assessment that entails seeing the person as a whole, listening to the persons’ case history, observing with all the senses, and does not pick out isolated indicators to validate the body weaknesses or strengths .It is certainly a more time intensive process. There is much education involved and support provided to coach patients to improving lifestyle and optimal health on an ongoing basis. Natural Health consumers are often committed to long term but practical approaches to being well and are willing to make changes in lifestyle and nutritional choices. One of the tools a Natural Health Professional may use is face reading. For an example let us consider the spleen.
www.BodyMindSpiritRADIO.com
Look at the bony ridges above the eye and the periphery of the ear. They may be red. You can also see spleen problems on the sides of the bridge of the nose: there may be a greenish tinge. The spleen is a cleansing organ of the blood and if the tonsils are removed it may stress the spleen as they hold the toxins . Swollen tonsils indicate toxic material is being gathered there and when we remove the tonsils that toxic material can spread to other parts of the body. The thickness of the eyebrows indicates vitality. Vertical lines between the brows can indicate problems with gallbladder or liver. If the person’s nose is swollen and looks soft and watery, it could indicate too much fluid intake. If the swelling is fat and hard, it could indicate sinus issues caused from excess butter and cheese in diet. Horizontal lines in the forehead may indicate too much sugar and fats. Vertical lines could mean too much meat or salt. Remember, this is just one piece of the puzzle and a good Natural Health Professional will look for patterns on the rest of the body such as the tongue, fingernails or through muscle testing to validate findings. Much can be done on a non invasive level. When you have your health you are wealthy beyond measure. Let us be more mindful of what we put into our bodies, how we nurture our minds and emotions as well as the attention to the quiet longings for something more to fulfill our purpose and feed our souls. Lets begin to change our health and our lives forever with more energy, better sleep, less illness, improved mobility, positive relationships, goal realization. Jean Cornell RN Ph.D

Making the Most I had a very special teacher in high school many years ago whose husband unexpectedly died of a heart attack. About a week after his death, she shared some of her insight with a classroom of students. As the late afternoon sunlight came streaming in through the classroom windows and the class was nearly over, she moved a few things aside on the edge of her desk and sat down there. With a gentle look of reflection on her face, she paused and said, “before class is over, I would like to share with all of you a thought that is unrelated to class, but which I feel is very important. Each of us is put here on earth to learn, share, love, appreciate and give of ourselves. None of us knows when this fantastic experience will end. It can be taken away at any moment. Perhaps this is God’s way of telling us that we must make the most out of every single day.” Her eyes beginning to water as she went on: “so I would like you all to make me a promise. From now on, on your way to school, or on your way home, find something beautiful to notice. It doesn’t have to be something you see it could be a scent-perhaps of freshly baked bread drifting out of someone’s house, or it could be the sound of the breeze slightly rustling the leaves in the trees, or the way the morning light catches one autumn leaf as it falls gently to the ground. Please look for these things, and cherish them. For, although it may sound trivial to some, these things are the “stuff” of life. The little things we are put here on earth to enjoy. The things we often take for granted. We must make it important to notice them, for at any time... it can all be taken away.” The class was completely quiet. We all picked up our books and filed out of the room silently. That afternoon, I noticed more things on my way home from school than I had that whole semester. Every once in a while, I think of that teacher and remember what an impression she made on all of us, and I try to appreciate all of those things that sometimes we all overlook. Take notice of something special you see on your lunch hour today. Go barefoot or walk on the beach at sunset. Stop off on the way home tonight to get a double-dip ice cream cone. For as we get older, it is not the things we did that we often regret, but the things we didn’t do.

The Italian Pregnancy An 18 year old Italian girl tells her Mom that she has missed her period for 2 months. Very worried, the mother goes to the drugstore and buys a pregnancy kit and the test result shows that the girl is pregnant.

Shouting, cursing, crying, the mother says, ‘Who wasa the pig that did this to you? I want to know!’ The girl picks up the phone and makes a call. Half an hour later, a Ferrari stops in front of their house. A mature and distinguished man with gray hair and impeccably dressed in an Armani suit steps out of a Ferrari and enters the house. He sits in the living room with the father, mother, and the girl and tells them:
Call Kelly and learn how to fight back, get fit and have fun!

If a boy is born, my legacy will be a couple of factories and a $4,000,000 bank account. If twins, they will receive a factory and $2,000,000 each.. However, if there is a miscarriage, what do you suggest I do?’ At this point, the father, who had remained silent holding a shotgun, placed a hand firmly on the man’s shoulder, looks him directly in the eyes and tells him “You a gonna try again!”

New Years Resolutions:
kept you at that weight you are not comfortable with.
How to achieve your goal with hypnosis According to the Encarta Dictionary a resolution is defined as a decision or determination of purpose. Usually someone makes a resolution as an intention to change something in their lives. However, most of the resolutions made on New Year’s Eve are made with what I call a surface intention - a thought that has no real substance, no mental or physical reality that can be sensed, felt, or visualized from within. So at the first sign of difficulty, that initial pump of adrenaline begins to weaken until it completely disappears. To realize any change you must first know what it is you want to change. Let’s take weight loss as an example because this is the most common New Year’s Resolution. On a conscious level we can make this decision and see that in order to achieve this goal your output must exceed your input. Losing weight is not difficult, in fact it is very easy - just stop eating more calories than you burn. Ahh, but we live in a fat promoting, supersized society and just focusing on the weight loss takes the body out of balance. If you have been saying to yourself that you want to lose weight and for years you have remained at the same weight or even bigger than the year before, then the problem is coming from the subconscious mind, stemming from a belief or habit you have integrated into your life. While the goal may be weight loss. the actual change you need to focus on is what you need to do inside your mind that will give you the resolve to change the belief or lifestyle habit that has 38
So now you have shifted from the surface thought of I want to lose weight, to I want to release this old habit I have of sabotaging my efforts, to following through on a daily exercise plan and/or food modification plan which is going to make me feel good and achieve my goal weight. So, first identify the change you need to make inside yourself that will unlock the way for you to reach your goal. Once you have identified the change you want and identified what you need to do to achieve this, then you must stay absolutely focused on it. You will want to make the change you want in your life personal. As soon as any of us start to compare ourselves with others disappointment sets in immediately. Don’t allow that to happen. I often remember something I heard Greg Braden say, that feelings are a language we speak to our bodies. If this is true, and I believe it is, then feel good about yourself, about your body, and about what you are doing for yourself. Seek a higher goal. Just wanting to lose weight is not usually enough for most people to stay on the course of an exercise routine or dietary shift. When you start to exercise your heart beats faster and gets a workout, your muscles respond by getting stronger and more flexible, your cells are being fed more oxygen and can now function at a higher more efficient level. You’re losing weight but in the process your body is benefiting. If your body is benefiting, your mind is benefiting, if both your mind and body are benefiting it is only because your spirit is joyful. This is the higher goal – locking in on the internal benefits of the change you
www.BodyMindSpiritGUIDE.com
are now making. Hypnosis can help you reach your goal by preparing your mind for the change you want to see, by changing old beliefs or habits that stem from the subconscious mind. Perhaps you have the belief that losing weight will be too hard since all past attempts have been failures. Over time this thought of trying and failing, and trying and failing soon becomes the thought “If I try I will fail”. And of course you will because what the mind believes the body believes also. When the subconscious mind has a different agenda than the conscious mind, this conflict can sabotage your best intentions. We store all kinds of information in our subconscious mind that goes way back to our formative years, beliefs, impressions, imprints are all there. And they will stay there until we challenge them. With hypnosis we can bypass the conscious mind and speak directly to the subconscious mind. Let’s say you have stored the belief that when you try to lose weight you fail. Through the process of suggestions given during hypnotic rest, the subconscious mind can begin to store a new belief that you can lose weight and that you always succeed. Hypnosis can help to remove the saboteur that keeps you stuck in a repetitive pattern of failure. All things; thoughts, beliefs, and resistance can be addressed in the subconscious mind to facilitate change. We are really opening up a new channel to the subconscious mind to replace an old belief with a new one or to discover areas that need to be healed before you can go on to the next level in your growth.

“Forget Your Butcher, Know Your Farmer” This is more than a slogan for Garry Kuneman. It’s the driving force behind his business, Natural Local Food Express. While Natural Local Food Express is a relatively new venture, Garry has followed his passion for educating people about the health benefits of naturally raised meats, eggs and dairy since a chance conversation with his daughter almost a decade earlier. Years of research, commitment and hard work culminated in the down-to-earth storefront he opened in Plymouth, MI. Back to his slogan. Garry explains it this way: “Consumers assume that butchers provide better quality meat. This isn’t always so. All meat comes from the same four suppliers who control 90% of the meat distribution in the U.S. I advise my customers to know--and care--about where the meat they consume comes from. Once they realize the practices of most industrial farms, they usually rethink how they purchase meat and animal products.” This is sound advice if you’re among the millions of Americans who are concerned about the inordinate amount of chemicals, antibiotics and hormones used in the care and feeding of animals raised on industrial farms. Understanding how and why grass fed humanely raised, organic meat provides increased health benefits and enhanced flavor is essential to demystifying the issue. Omnivore’s Delight Carnivores and herbivores alike will be pleased to know that the plants and animals they currently consume could in fact taste better. Pasture-raised animals are fed high quality, pesticide-free grasses that inexorably restore the taste of the meat to what nature intended. A taste some of us may not be accustomed to. The reason is simple, most meat-eaters have been habituated to the taste of chemically altered meat from animals that are not only shot up with hormones and antibiotics but are also not free to graze or roam. Which taste do you aspire to acquire? Taste aside, which meat is healthier for you and your family? If you’re still undecided, consider this: grass-fed animals provide meat that is lower in fat and calories with the added bonus of increased Omega 3s and Conjugated Linoleic Acid (CLA) which is a cancer fighting good fat. Research shows that eating organic chemicalfree meats may reduce the risk of some serious illnesses including cancer, diabetes, obesity and cardiovascular disease. 40
Worth the Trip At Natural Local Food Express, you’ll find a huge selection of organic beef, bison, elk, pork, venison, chicken and turkey. In keeping with the mission to provide locally raised meats, you’ll also find locally grown produce, dairy and eggs. Michigan made food, including gluten-free groceries and baked goods, as well as handmade artisan items completes the store’s merchandise selection. Visiting his store is truly akin to stopping by your local farmer’s market. Should you require more exotic fare, Garry will order specialty meats at your request. Additionally, he has the distinction of being the only retailer in the state to carry Michigan raised Piedmontese beef. This Italian breed of cattle is referred to as the “heart smart” beef due to its increased muscle mass, tenderness and lower fat content. If a visit to the store isn‘t feasible, free home delivery is available in the tri-county area for orders totaling $50 or more.

LONG LIFE Toward the end of the services, the Minister asked the congregation, “How many of you have forgiven your enemies?” 80% held up their hands. The Minister then repeated his question. All responded this time, except one small elderly lady. “Mrs. Jones? Are you not willing to forgive your enemies?” “I don’t have any.” She replied, smiling sweetly. “Mrs. Jones, that is very unusual. How old are you?” “Ninety-eight.” she replied. “Oh Mrs. Jones, would you please come down in front and tell us all how a person can live ninety-eight years and not have an enemy in the world?” The little sweetheart of a lady tottered down the aisle, faced the congregation, and said: “It’s easy. I just outlived them all.”
You Are What You Think Thoughts are how we manifest what we bring into our material world. It is through repetitive thought patterns that we create an astral image, which is strengthened by attention, emotion, and our imagination for manifestation. The astral plane (also called the astral world) is a subtle state of consciousness. It is the world of planetary spheres (cosmic energy), which our soul crosses in the astral body on the way to being born or after death. The astral plane is composed of astral matter and is the closest dimension to the physical plane. The astral plane overlays and permeates the world like a huge mesh net. The astral body has a figure form in the shape of the physical body, and an oval shape aura that looks like an egg with points at each end, which extends about 4 to 9 feet from the physical body. The astral body contains our chakra system, which travels with us in each lifetime. The astral plane contains all thoughts, dreams, emotions, desires, imagination, and psychic abilities. In the astral plane the law of attraction exists, which brings together all the thought forms, which gather together by vibration. The astral plane is extremely sensitive to thought and can be molded by what we think, making it difficult to distinguish what is real or our imagination. If you would like further information about the astral plane you can Google: http://www.rickrichards.com/astral/Astral3.html http://www.soundcurrentrider.com/AstralPlane.html When we repeatedly give a thought attention the imagination will draw from the astral plane what it pictures onto astral matter, and by law of attraction create our reality. It is similar to burning images onto a DVD. That is why it is imperative that we are conscious of our thoughts. Remember, it takes attention, emotion, and imagination to manifest a thought form, so be conscious of your reoccurring thoughts. We have millions of
44
www.BodyMindSpiritGUIDE.com
January 2012
thoughts that free flow all day and night; by attaching to a thought we can manifest it. For example, when you are anxious about something, your mind races and you can feel your body temperature raising as you become more and more anxious (physical response). Your imagination (subtle body) begins to create a scenario and eventually you begin believing what you are thinking (astral imprint), becoming difficult to see reality. So, when the time comes for you to get that job or meet Mr. Right what happens is exactly what you envisioned, and you don’t get the job or meet the man of your dreams. Has something like this ever happened to anyone? I know it has to me. Unfortunately, it seems that we are better at creating negative thought forms than positive ones, because we tend to live in fear rather than love. Therefore, let your everyday thoughts come from love. Before you begin the “mind chatter”, ask yourself if you are coming from fear or love. You can consciously choose to come from love anytime you desire. Thought forms occur in the present moment and are charged with emotion, which is an astral energy. You can master your thoughts by giving your heart center some attention and feeling the love that is inside. Then visualize the outcome you desire, hear the dialog, taste, smell, and feel what it is you truly want from this place of love. Let it speak to your soul. Then surrender the outcome to the universe with no attachment to the outcome. Make this New Year the best ever by mastering your thoughts through the astral plane. Use the tools you have, such as, meditation, prayer, visualization, spiritual readings, and exercise. Do them daily to help you keep an orderly structure for your soul’s desire. Try this and you will see how simple it is to positively manifest. If you are experiencing difficulties with positive manifestation you can make an appointment with me for Theta Healing or Intuitive Spiritual Life Coaching. For you and your loved one’s, I ask that you have a blessed life filled with health and joy. Happy New Year! Namaste’

MASTERING CHANGE IN 2012 Ninety five percent of what we humans do is habitual. And only five percent of our behavior occurs when we are being “at choice”. Many of us continue to habitually operate in self-defeating ways even though that behavior does not serve us. We have become comfortable with the behavior and uncomfortable with the results. Jean Farber, the great French naturalist came across a perfect example of this type of habitual self-defeating behavior while studying the processionary caterpillar. He discovered that this unique creature spends its life in the forest feeding on pine needles and moves among the trees as part of a long chain with his eyes half-closed and his head butted closely against the fellow just ahead in sort of a bumper to bumper fashion. What would happen, Faber wondered if he connected the leader to the last caterpillar in the chain? Without much trouble he succeeded in getting a circle going around the rim of the flower pot. Around and around they went for seven days and seven nights. Nothing could break the chain….except exhaustion and weakness from lack of food, and yet food and water was there in the middle of the pot, less than a caterpillar away.

People all too often behave like the processionary caterpillar. We become so wrapped up in our traditions, habits and customs…. We stop thinking! Our comfort zone becomes a replacement for constructive creative thought. We become inflexible and afraid. Afraid of moving out of our circle of security that represents talking, doing and behaving in our self-defeating habitual way. Just like all the others in our circle are talking, doing and behaving. For example, how many times have you, your spouse, teen or boss had the same argument- you know how it will start, and you know how it will end, and you know that you will have it again. And you know that it will only escalate the next time around. Even when there is an opportunity for a better relationship, we stay stuck on our pot. We are too afraid of moving from our familiar ring or we are not willing to give up doing things the so called “right way”. We just keep tail-gating all our lives. So we go around and around on our pot - stuck in our habitual behavior. But the outcome gives us the same negative results over and over again; like the saying: “When you always do what you’ve always done you’ll always get what you have always gotten”. If you really want to break out of these negative patterns it will take an honest self- assessment. “You can’t change what you don’t acknowledge.” You must open your eyes and take the blinders off so that you can see where it is that you are operating on your own pot. Change is a difficult thing, but, first you must be courageous enough to get real and to get honest. As this year comes to a close and you start to think about those New Year’s resolutions, don’t just make the list with the traditional stop smoking, stop over-eating, stop drinking and start

exercising. Take a look at some of these other habits that are stopping you from getting all the abundance, joy and love in life. Here are some places to look for those self-defeating habits that alter your success: • Are you trying too hard to get love and approval from your parents? • Are you afraid to make a mistake and so you procrastinate making a decision, which makes the decision? • Have you actually become addicted to your anger; are you a rageaholic? • Are you a people pleaser and you continually say yes when you mean no? • Are you unable to forgive and do you hold a grudge? • Do you always have to have the right answer no matter what? • Do you focus on what your partner is doing wrong and not on what you could do better? • Do you keep putting up with broken promises? • Do you focus on trying to change others? In other words are you a control freak? • Are you defiant and cannot recognize how that is self-defeating? Do you talk when nobody’s listening and have you gotten used to not being listened too? • Are you the great pretender; pretending to be fine when you are not? • Do you take things too personally,
The UnBEATable Entrepreneur System
Coaching can bring out the Champion in YOU! Are you ready? PLAY TO WIN... (810) 735-7850 www.theunbeatableentrepreneur.com January 2012
are you too sensitive and wear your heart on your sleeve? • Do you have high expectation of self and others and low levels of acceptance? • Do you try to take care of everyone else and leave your needs last? And then feel sorry for yourself. I am sure that you can see these behaviors in others, but not always willing to look at ourselves and break out of our own chain of events to make things better. You might consider that one of these negative habitual behavioral areas is a place for you to look at as a candidate to add to your New Year’s resolution list. We can be more “at choice” by taking the blinders off and looking outside our ring of habitual behaviors. Let’s get off the pot in 2012 and truly change those self-defeating behaviors that stop us from winning our race.

I believe that the small business owner with an entrepreneurial mindset will drive our future economic success.
