And I saw that the sacred hoop of my people was one of many hoops that made one circle, wide as daylight and

What is Unity?

UNITY NOTEWORTHY NEWS....

Unity Churches provide a positive, practical, approach to Christianity based on the teachings of Jesus and the power of prayer. We honor universal truths in all religions and respect each person’s spiritual path.

“We’re on our way...to something greater!” That’s the mantra of Unity of Greater Lansing. And they made it happen. On June 1st, Unity sold their building at 240 Marshall and moved in with Plymouth Congregational at 2001 E. Grand River. The two congregations will share the building facilities, while maintaining their own individual identities. This plan gives Unity as much time as necessary to find their new building. In the meantime, tUnity members will enjoy such amenities as ground level, handicap accessibilty; many bathrooms; children’s rooms located close to the Sunday Service; and adjacent parking. The Centrum at Plymouth will also hold 700 persons, allowing Unity to expand and grow. The new service time for Unity of Greater Lansing has been set at 11:30 a.m.--one halfhour later than previously. The joy, enthusiasm, outstanding music and prayerful spirit remains the same! GRATITUDE AND THANKS! On June 3rd, the Plymouth Congregatoin graciously hosted a wonderful “Welcome Gathering” between services to both meet and greet the Unity congregation. There were many smiles, hugs and handshakes!

that ‘something special’ that they bring to the world. Try telling them what they did in the last ten minutes that made a difference!

When we let our light shine, we define ourselves by our gifts and what we have today, and not by our deficiencies or what is missing. One way to do this is to be intentional with our speaking and be aware of what comes out of our mouth. We can have conversations that demonstrate our willingness to stop telling people what is not right about them, how they need to improve or how they should do things differently. With a positive approach, we can share with people the gifts we have received from them. We can acknowledge their strengths and

We create our destiny when we have the courage to acknowledge our own gifts and make choices that bring them into the world. We each have our own unique qualities, yet we are often blind to them. Our work is to bring them forth, accept them, and then share them with others. A gift is not a gift until it is offered! Come share your gifts with us and let us get to know you and your unique gifts! Join us at Unity of Farmington Hills, 32500 W. 13 Mile Road, Farmington Hills, 48334. (248) 737-9191www.

FREE Consultation with our on site herbologist, Darlene Kaptor Sunshine Healing Center 586. 226.2811 42192 Garfield, Clinton Twp., MI MASSAGE available by appointment Member of: ABMP

Summer is here and we are smiling up at those wonderful warm rays that we’ve been missing for the better part of the year. I’m happy to be able to enjoy the sun again after several years of spending only a brief time in it here and there. But many sun lovers must continue to avoid the midday sun or risk being burned. Even suntan lotions are no guarantee against sunburn and many have been found to be unsafe (www.environmentalworkinggroup. com.) Fortunately, there are other options that may allow you to spend more time in the sun. In my youth, I didn’t avoid the intense rays of the midday sun and didn’t burn until I went swimming in a chlorinated pool. I didn’t understand why I burned because my skin usually turned dark from the sun early in the summer, I never used sunscreen, and I never burned. It wasn’t until later on when I was doing research on vitamin D that I finally understood what had happened. Plants do chemical conversions utilizing sunshine, and so do we. We convert precursor vitamin D to vitamin D3. Plants and invertebrates also make vitamin D2 to help provide protection. When I burned that day, the chlorine from the pool removed the protective oils from my skin containing the vitamin D which interfered with my protection. When we’re in the sun, precursor vitamin D comes to the skin surface as an oily, wet substance. Part of this evaporates and cools us while the other part is transformed by ultraviolet B rays from the sun into vitamin D3. It then gets reabsorbed into the body where it’s used as both a vitamin and a hormone. Obtained from the sun, this incredible vitamin protects us from several types of cancer, diabetes, osteoporosis, osteoarthritis, multiple sclerosis, hypertension, and many other health conditions. Vitamin D also ensures a process in our body called apoptosis which refers to programmed cell death. Our cells are designed to reproduce themselves a set number of times and then stop so they don’t become problematic. This process is what keeps normal cells from becoming mutated or becoming cancer cells. When they become rogue cancer cells, they ignore the directions of the body and take on a life of their own at the expense of the body. These cells are only able to eat simple sugars, like the components of junk food. (While these cells are extremely resourceful, don’t be fooled; perhaps you should think twice about feeding them exactly what they want!) When vitamin D is in place on the cell, it helps monitor when it’s time for the cell to die, and ensures that these cells do just that instead of staying around to cause problems. Most people, especially children, are highly deficient in vitamin D because they spend very little time outside. And even when outside, they’re covered in clothes or sunscreen which prevents the sun from interacting with their bodies. In this case, obtaining vitamin D through foods and supplements is their only saving grace. Vitamin D is only found in a few foods such as egg yolks, butter, the oil from cod liver, and other cold-water fish, including salmon, herring and mackerel. One of the main actions of Vitamin D is to gather calcium from the food you eat and put it into your bloodstream to be used throughout the body to rebuild bone, ligament, teeth, and other structures, as well as powering your

www.BodyMindSpiritGUIDE.com

immune system. In order to do this properly, your body must have an adequate supply of vitamin C to build collagen which is the matrix on which the calcium is hung, like drywall on the wooden studs in your house. The next trick is to get the calcium out of the bloodstream. Otherwise, this heroic vitamin D may cause a condition in the blood called hypercalcemia, which is excess calcium in the blood. The good news is that hypercalcemia only occurs when you’re deficient in what was once known as vitamin F, referring to free fatty acids, such as linolenic and linoleic acid. Free fatty acids are also found in real organic butter. They have the ability to ionize the calcium out of the bloodstream into the tissues where they’re needed. Some researchers thought this was bad but actually its part of the design to mobilize calcium to where it’s needed.

What we’ve found is that vitamin D is protective of sunburn and heat stroke when interacting with the free fatty acids in Cataplex F. The accumulation takes place when the oils that are turned into vitamin D are allowed to be reabsorbed into the body after the ultraviolet B has transformed them. When I burned after spending the day in a heavily chlorinated pool, I lost these protective oils and depleted my levels of vitamin D and precursor D. To obtain the maximum amount of vitamin D from the sun, be sure to allow adequate time before showering after spending time in the sun, especially if you’re using chlorinated water. After that first horrible sunburn, I began spending less time in the sun for fear of burning again and I wasn’t eating the foods needed to restore my vitamin D levels. Now that I know the importance of this

Finding Inspiration Many Americans go through life doing a series of tasks. They get up every day, eat breakfast, say goodbye to family, go to work, sit in traffic, do work, worry about work, complete work, sit in traffic, say hello to family, pay bills, go to bed and … get up and do it all again tomorrow. These are things we are supposed to do. Inspiration is not something you’re supposed to do. To be inspired is to be filled with “enlivening or exalting emotion.” To be inspired is to live a life of passion. In short; it’s exciting … living life with purpose. Inspiration … Into The Breath How do we go from a life of a series of tasks to one of passion and inspiration? Would it surprise you to learn that inspiration also means to be “aroused by divine influence?” In fact, the origins of inspiration come from the Latin words “in spirare,” meaning “into breath.” This is also the same root for the word “Spirit.” Therefore, to the architects of our language the words “breathe” and “Spirit” mean the same thing. Is it possible that our breathing can help us become inspired and aroused by divine influence so we can open to a fuller and more passionate life? It is a fact that approximately 90% of the population is only breathing at about 50% of their capacity. This can dramatically limit your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being. But few are aware of this because we believe that restricted breathing is normal. But now you know and now you can do something about it. The Master Key To Good Health When you expand your breath a lot happens. Your diaphragm (your major breathing muscle) relaxes and breathing feels open and free. This brings more oxygen into your body and everything happens better with more oxygen. Energy levels improve, blood pressure goes down, lymph gets distributed, toxins are removed and the immune system is supported. In fact, internationally renowned author and MD, Andrew Weil says that, “…breathing well may be the master key to good health. I recommend breath work to all my patients.” A Better Life But there is more. It is a fact that emotional and subconscious memories are stored throughout the body but especially on the diaphragm. When these memories are released through a Transformational Breathing Breathwork session, stress and tension disappear and great changes in a person’s attitude and mental condition

are possible. This can improve attitude, mitigate the hold of addictive behavior patterns, reduce fear and anxiety and even calm a racing mind. Sleep comes easier, is deeper and more restorative. The weight of the world feels like it’s lifted off your shoulders. Life seems easier. You are in the flow. You feel good; you feel passionate … you are inspired. You feel like you can take on the world and make a difference. And that’s what it’s all about, isn’t it? When you change your breath, you change your life. Now what you choose to do with this new found life and energy is up to you. Thousands of people who have changed the way they breathe have opened to limitless possibilities. Be inspired!

Love Come Home

You are the spiritual being of unconditional love who created the life that you are living. You created it as a means of expressing yourself within the physical world. Your body, emotions, and mind have such a strong pull that you have become identified with the physical experience of life often to the exclusion of your memory of who you really are. This forgetfulness is an intentional, but temporary state of affairs which I would like to explore with you in this article and help you to master. When you were born, only a small part of you could live in your body because the body needed to mature to hold your consciousness. The small amount of your consciousness in your body had to concentrate on learning how to interact both with your body and the world around. This was your prime directive in your early life. However, with so much of you living outside of your body on a more spiritual plane during that time, you were more in touch with loving and eternal spirit. As humans mature, the outer world requires more of our attention and time, which helps us to grow physically, emotionally and mentally stronger. It also causes us to invest so much of our self into the outer world that we may lose track of our wise and loving, eternal spirit. So now the vehicle that we built for our true self to live in is becoming capable of housing us, but it is distracted by the world around. The primary purpose for our lives is to provide a home for the love that we are within this world. But when the physical experience is driving our bodies and minds, our higher consciousness has to direct things from the outside. This is rarely a comfortable and satisfying condition on the human or the divine level, but it is the way most people live. Since our true spirit isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t able to direct us from within, outer circumstances are drawn into our lives to try to wake us up and motivate us toward our truth. Circumstances bounce us around the game board of life like pinballs in a pinball machine trying to get us to move in the direction that life has in mind for us. When we begin to intellectually understand that we are a spiritual being and not just a physical body, we long to find a higher level of fulfillment in the outer world. 14

However, we are still confused if we are focusing our longing for our truth onto the outer form of things. We think our purpose will be fulfilled by doing good things, which is noble. However, the things you do won’t be bring you satisfaction until your loving, true and eternal self is living within you and driving your vehicle. That is the only thing that will bring the inner peace and wholeness that we seek. Where life seems to be pushing us around like a pinball on a game board, it is a message to go within to find what part of us is not yet receptive to our true self and to release old wounds and beliefs that block our oneness with that. This is the purpose of the outer world in our lives, to send us back within ourselves to continue building the house of our being. Resolving the blocked places within allows our higher consciousness to begin directing our life from the inside which is much gentler. In fact we begin to find fulfillment in places we didn’t expect. All of us are still experiencing the pinball to some extent. There is still work to be done to resolve the illusionary experience of limitation that we have lived with for so long.

Once we master our inner self to a significant degree the work we do within has a great impact on the experience of others in our world. Serving in this way leads us to an even deeper mastery and greater peace and unity with our true self. Worldly jobs serve two primary purposes: to provide opportunities for resolving our inner blocks and realize greater unity with love and truth within and, for now, to provide financial support. This is true whether your job seems to be in line with your spirit or not. What we do provides an opportunity to grow more proficient at living from our true core. That is the true service…being love, truth and wholeness within a human body, within the world no matter what your outer work is doing. This may require a reorientation of our self-consciousness. If you seek to find fulfillment from what you are doing for a career, use the one you have to grow stronger within your truth. When you are strongly at one with your eternal true self, you will find the outer world experience comes into line with that in ways you may not have expected. To the degree that you feel like a pinball, life is telling you to seek an even deeper level of inner wholeness by unblocking the part of you that apparently still needs to be pushed.

The Rainbow Bridge Just this side of heaven is a place called the Rainbow Bridge. When an animal dies that has been close to someone here, that pet goes to the Rainbow Bridge. There are hills and valleys and all our special friends that have passed run and play together. At the Rainbow Bridge, there is plenty of food, water, sunshine and our special animal friends are happy and comfortable. All the animals that have been ill and old are restored to health and vigor. Those who were hurt or maimed are made whole and strong again, just as we first remember them. The animals are happy and content, except for one small thing— they each miss someone very special to them, a human who had to be left behind. The animals all run and play together, but the day comes when one suddenly stops and looks into the distance. His bright eyes are intent. His eager body quivers. Suddenly he begins to run from the group, flying over the green grass, going faster and faster. You have been spotted, and when you and your special friend meet, you cling together in joy. The happy kisses rain upon your face; your hands again caress the beloved head, and you look once more into the trusting eyes of your pet.

It is often said that our animals are connected to our soul. I don’t know if this is true, but part of me left with Precious. Since that time, I have worked to develop my skills as an animal communicator. It has been very rewarding to connect with these beings of light and learn about unconditional love. The Rainbow Bridge gives me great comfort, for the love we have shared brings my vibration to a new level. For those mourning the loss of a pet, focus on the happiness and joy that you were able to experience with your friend, and know that one day you will meet again at the Rainbow Bridge. **An Animal Communication Workshop with Laura Ginn will be offered July 8th. Learn to telepathically communicate with your pet using a series of exercises that develop your connection with your special friend. For information or to register go to: www. readingsbylaura.net. Class is limited to 10 participants. Laura Ginn For further information on animal communication or a pet reading contact Laura at: 313-412-7690.

A Genuine Clairvoyant with accurate insightful information for you!

Then you cross the Rainbow Bridge together…… -Author UnknownThis poem depicts our connection with pets and the unconditional love they feel for us and we for them. We often experience deep grief and loss when our animals depart this world and we are left behind. I remember when my German Shepherd “Precious” died and sighed her last breath. She had had a tumor the size of a tennis ball, and I asked her if she wanted to leave. Should I put her down? With a lovely voice, bright eyes and pointed ears, I heard, “I love you mommy, I want to stay with you as long as I can!” So Precious and I took one day at a time, knowing that the inevitable would come. One morning when I left for work, it was like any other day. She looked at me with those loving faithful eyes saying, “I love you.” When I returned, my husband at the time was digging a grave in the backyard. She had died in his arms, sighed a final breath, then passed. 16

Just Stay A nurse took the tired, anxious serviceman to the bedside. “Your son is here,” she said to the old man. She had to repeat the words several times before the patient’s eyes opened. Heavily sedated because of the pain of his heart attack, he dimly saw the young uniformed Marine standing outside the oxygen tent. He reached out his hand. The Marine wrapped his toughened fingers around the old man’s limp ones, squeezing a message of love and encouragement. The nurse brought a chair so that the Marine could sit beside the bed. All through the night the young Marine sat there in the poorly lighted ward, holding the old man’s hand and offering him words of love and strength. Occasionally, the nurse suggested that the Marine move away and rest awhile. He refused. Whenever the nurse came into the ward, the Marine was oblivious of her and of the night noises of the hospital - the clanking of the oxygen tank, the laughter of the night staff members exchanging greetings, the cries and moans of the other patients. Now and then she heard him say a few gentle words. The dying man said nothing, only held tightly to his son all through the night. Along towards dawn, the old man died. The Marine released the now lifeless hand he had been holding and went to tell the nurse. While she did what she had to do, he waited. Finally, she returned. She started to offer words of sympathy, but the Marine interrupted her. “Who was that man?” he asked. The nurse was startled, “He was your father,” she answered. “No, he wasn’t,” the Marine replied. “I never saw him before in my life.” “Then why didn’t you say something when I took you to him?” “I knew right away there had been a mistake, but I also knew he needed his son, and his son just wasn’t here. When I realized that he was too sick to tell whether or not I was his son, knowing how much he needed me, I stayed.” I came here tonight to find a Mr. William Grey. His Son was Killed in Iraq today, and I was sent to inform him. What was this Gentleman’s Name?

We Suffered Needlessly, Not Knowing… Help Was Around the Corner I was obese all my life and suffered with depression because I just wanted to be thin like everyone else. I wanted to go out on a date and have friends and get invited to school functions, but no one ever called. I didn’t want to live. What for, I wasn’t happy. I only suffered in pain. One day I met a lady in the library in Livonia and she told me about Dr. Reggish who had helped her lose 48 lbs in only 8 weeks. I couldn’t believe it, but I wanted to, so I called. Dr Reggish taught me how to eat good foods and to my amazement in the first two weeks I lost 28 lbs. I’ve been on his program now for 8 weeks and I’m down 57 lbs. His program is the easiest and simplest way to lose weight naturally. Thank You Dr Reggish, Robert M.

My name is Barbara and I lost 22 lbs in 10 days on Dr Reggish’s program. Dr Reggish, You’re the man, I love you. I got me a sweet girlfriend because of you. No more weight issues. Leonard (Flash) Diabetes gone, everyday dizziness gone, night sweats and hot flashes gone, eye problems gone, shoulder problems gone, sugar cravings gone, weight problems gone and depression gone. All this and 25 lbs off in

only a few short weeks. I’m no longer diabetic after 25 years of being one. I’m 78 yrs old , but I feel like I’m 50 yrs old. Thanks Dr. Reggish for giving my life back, Dorothy

Michael

I was diabetic for 15 years and getting bigger and bigger each year. I didn’t believe what I heard about a doctor that could get me off my insulin in a week. I have to say I’m shocked that Dr Reggish was able to get me off all my diabetic meds in only one week. And in two weeks, I dropped 19 ½ lbs and I’m still losing weight

I’ve lost 82 lbs in 4 months and it was easy. I finally found a way to take control and it’s awesome.

My Weight…It’s Melting Off and… I’m No Longer Diabetic Hello to everyone that’s been reading my articles every month and to those who may be reading my article for the first time. Through the years I’ve been searching for ways to help people that have been overweight and/or have Diabetes. I’ve witnessed patients that come to my office complaining about gaining more and more weight and whose doctors keep raising their insulin doses…only to experience more weight gain. So right now I feel that there’s a need to get some information out there to help you lose weight and reverse your diabetes. Let me begin by telling you that everything that you’ve been told about eating healthy has not been entirely true… like eating 3 to 5 servings of fruit everyday. Also let’s talk about eating bananas for potassium. Sure you’re going to get potassium from a banana, which is great, but you’re also going to get enough sugar for four days. If you’re overweight and you’re taking in that much sugar, your body has to burn this sugar first before it starts to burn fat. Then if you add 3 to 5 more servings of fruit on top of that…You probably have enough sugar in one day to last you for a week. The average person should be eating no more than 15 grams a day. In one banana there’s approximately 60 grams. If your eating 3 to 5 servings of fruit a day, your going to gain weight and you’ll probably going to become diabetic. Now we’ve been told to eat those grains….sure they’re great fiber but in small amounts. Some people wake up and have that cereal in the July 2012

morning and then a sandwich for lunch and maybe a piece of cake and later at dinner having pasta with a bun. Stop Folks…You may not know this but these grains turn to sugar and guess what… your body has to burn these sugars before it burns fat and you’ll be on your way to being diabetic and obese. Let me explain this a different way. Let’s say that the sugar you eat is like you’re a checking account and the fat you’re carrying is your savings account. You naturally go to your checking account everyday and spend that money first before you dip into your savings account. Doesn’t that make sense? Well your body is the same. Your body is going to burn the sugar you’ve taken in for the day first for energy. When this sugar is used up then the body turns to its savings account which is your stored fat and begins to burn it for energy. So if you want to lose fat….don‘t eat things that put sugar into your body. Now lets talk about the hormone Insulin….You might ask what does insulin do in the body…I’ll tell you what. It does two things. One is it lowers blood sugar when the blood sugar rises. But guess what it does next? Any insulin that’s not used up will secondly store your calories as fat. That’s right it’s insulin that stores those calories into fat. So when you eat a lot of fruit or grains at one serving…the body says make insulin fast to bring down this army of sugar and its thinking that the sugar is not going to stop coming and therefore produces more than enough insulin to lower the blood sugar. The excess insulin then stores those calories as fat, which can be your worst nightmare. Now let me tell you to stay away from the white stuff like white rice, white flour, white potatoes and especially the white sugar. These are especially bad because they turn to sugar in the blood.

www.BodyMindSpiritRADIO.com

Eat lots of protein, in fact eating protein at breakfast will cut your cravings, turn up your metabolic thermostat and make you lose weight faster. Eat lots of greens and vegetables, in fact as much as you want. In order to lose weight and get off the insulin and reverse your diabetes…you need a special program that cuts out these sugars and you will reverse your diabetes and you’ll lose your weight. One of my patients had been diabetic for 32 years and had been to many doctors for his problem and his diabetes had gotten worse and worse and he kept gaining more and more weight only to be told to increase his insulin. The fatter he got, the more insulin he had to take. He felt completely out of control. He had been referred to me by another patient of mine who had the same problem and she is no longer diabetic. Well, in two weeks he was completely off his insulin and lost 22 lbs... He’s no longer diabetic and he continues to lose weight effortlessly. Folks this disease can be reversed. How do I know so much…I’ll tell you…I became diabetic myself after a bad accident. I know the pain you’re feeling and the hopeless feeling you may be experiencing…Only a doctor who was once himself a diabetic can know exactly what you’re feeling. I experienced it first hand and I reversed this terrible disease. You can too. God Bless, Dr. Michael D. Reggish Dr Michael D.

The Anti-Aging Secret Your key to youth is a healthy functioning Gastrointestinal (GI) Tract. How well it performs determines your overall health, and how slow or fast you age.. The GI tract is a hollow tube that starts in your mouth and ends at the end of your colon. What you eat and drink matters, but not as much as whether your body can utilize what you ingest. How Your Digestive System Works Food is digested and broken down into appropriate sized molecules in the GI â&#x20AC;&#x153;hollow tubeâ&#x20AC;? tract. The molecules are then transported across the digestive tract membrane into the blood where they are delivered to the rest of your body. From the blood these molecules go into the cells and are used for body growth, tissue repair, and energy production. A healthy functioning GI tract also has a very important role in prevention. The GI tract acts as a protective tissue barrier keeping toxic unhealthy materials, microbes, and debris from entering into your circulation. A healthy GI tract can effectively and routinely attack these unhealthy materials, compact them, and eliminate them from your body. Your ability to stay young depends upon the efficiency of your digestive system. When Your Digestive System Does Not Work Digestive difficulties develop when there are insufficient digestive enzymes in your GI tract to cause the proper breakdown of foods eaten. When food is not properly digested it can ferment, putrefy, become rancid, and injure the lining 20

of the GI tract. When the cell lining of the GI tract becomes injured, the protective barrier becomes more permeable to undigested food particles.

pain on the upper right side of the abdomen, gall stone formation, constipation, dry skin, skin rashes, and pain in the neck and upper back or between the shoulder blades.

Leaky Gut Syndrome develops when the undigested food particles leak through the intestinal lining. These food particles cause pain and inflammation. They are viewed as irritants by the immune system, which attacks them. This process occurs because your digestive system is unable to successfully do its job and digest the food properly.

When a Leaky Gut exists it sets the stage for a variety of chronic illnesses and food allergies. Various digestive difficulties develop including acid indigestion, acid reflux, leaky gut syndrome, gas and bloating, stomach burning, increasing food allergies and sensitivities, irritable bowel, and mal-absorption syndrome, creating additional nutritional deficiencies. Poor digestion also results in unwanted weight gain, which gets worse as your body ages.

Digestive enzymes are normally made by the pancreas to neutralize the stomach acid. The failure to neutralize stomach acid occurs when there is a systemic mineral deficiency. Insufficient production of digestive enzymes then creates an acid digestive tract. The normal blood pH shifts when the digestive tract is too acid. An overly acid and poor digestive system is reflected in the blood, and can be viewed using Live Cell Analysis. Live Cell Analysis reveals a clumping and overlapping of red blood cells when poor digestion exists. Red blood cells that are too close together cannot carry sufficient oxygen, resulting in fatigue and other health issues. Your body ages faster when improper digestion occurs. A healthy digestive system is part of the secret to anti-aging. Healthy red blood cells are spaced apart to carry oxygen when the digestive system is fully functioning. Indications of a Poor Digestive System Common signs of a malfunctioning GI tract include bloating, acid reflux, belching/gas, indigestion following the ingestion of fats, oils, and/or protein, light colored stools,

www.BodyMindSpiritGUIDE.com

Food allergies and sensitivities, and Leaky Gut are on the rise due to changes in diet. Chronic sinus congestion or sinus headaches are also more common, and are often indicative of hidden food allergies. There are many people who are allergic to gluten, the most common component of grains, including wheat. Allergic reactions to dairy, corn and soy also are increasing, as more products contain these items. Diets high in refined and processed foods can also cause an allergic reaction in the GI tract. Solutions to Improve Your Digestion Make sure that your diet includes lots of uncooked fresh fruits and vegetables. Raw food contains digestive enzymes that are destroyed by cooking. To improve your digestive system, make sure that your production of digestive enzymes is sufficient. Drink live antioxidant water that is rich in healthy minerals to help improve digestion. With a properly working digestive system your body can use more of what you eat, and keep you young and vibrant. July 2012

Not sure if your digestive system is working correctly? Visit an alternative practitioner that is trained to evaluate the function of the digestive system. They do not prescribe medications to manage the symptoms of a malfunctioning system. Instead, they make simple dietary and lifestyle recommendations to improve it.

True Love Co-creating A Third Song In June, I had the joy and honor of facilitating a wedding between two friends. I have never done a wedding, nor do I normally do them. But my friends’ union was such a beautiful, living expression of True Love, I was guided to participate! Through reading this article, you will have the opportunity to “join me” for this amazing wedding. The quotes on “What is love?” from the bride (Abby) and the groom (Jim) are powerful and speak to your soul. And what spirit wrote through me describing their love was nothing less than profound and delicious! Enjoy. Jim True Love is eternal, unconditional, and selfless. It is without limits and boundaries. When the condition exists that you want nothing from another person, but desire everything for them that leads to their highest good, then there is love. When both people want the knowing of Divine True nature for each other, and will help support each other to achieve that goal, then there is mutual love. Divine Love. True Love is not based on sex, emotion, or infatuation…it transcends lust, greed, and all personal needs. True Love is joyous, nurturing, and pure. Abby True Love is a warm blanket of calm over all else. When I say, “I Love You” it is a soul to soul connection, I am saying, “The depth of me sees, supports, and wants to mesh with the depth of you.” The connection of Love, of being in True Love, sees 22

beyond the murk, the issues, and the ego. It knows a beauty beyond the mind; our heart feels it and knows. True Love is a blanket of calm and love...that True Love...IS God. When we are in God within, and we see God in the other, we ARE Divine Love. Barbra Jim and Abby have decided to make their love the holiest of unions. A devotion to the One magnified in their union. Their love is a commitment to becoming the next greatest version of themselves through their loving. Our way of Being in our life is like learning how to play an instrument. We ‘play’ these instruments by practicing Being true to ourselves, through forgiveness, compassion, meditation, prayer, and deep inner witnessing. We must be courageous enough to grow and choose love on a daily, and sometimes moment by moment, basis. If we remain willing to grow in our awareness and choose love even in what we think are the dark times, we become masters of the instruments God has given us. Each of us has a mandate from spirit to tune our instruments to play the music of Love, Joy and God. In loving ourselves and healing our (emotions, beliefs) we realize we are Love. In this realization we live, move, and have our Being-ness in God-Love. Having your Being in Love-God starts with your inner work, and you can only express what you have experienced or awakened within. This Love we express is not dependent on conditions, or circumstance, but rather is a realization of our inner Being. When we choose love in the dark moments and witness our inner fears through meditation and self-love we are playing our instruments to benefit others. Our Being, meaning the way we walk, talk and act, naturally

without trying, becomes music that heals others. Our presence heals others in our living example. In our own inner growth and self-love, we teach others by simply Being ourselves. Abby and Jim are masters of their instruments. Each person has taken years to know themselves and cultivate their inner divine qualities of compassion, humility, reverence, insight, joy, and wisdom. They both in their living and service have played great music to benefit others. Each plays a great Song expressing Love, in, through, and as them. Each person has given fully of themselves to others, and humanity. Each person before meeting each other has loved humanity for the sake of Love and for no other reason or attachment. But there comes a time when God knows we would benefit more people by joining another masterful musician. When two people who have turned their instruments into the expression of creation come together, they create a ‘Third Song.’ This Third Song is a sound, a vibration, a force or great symphony that is ‘played’ in their loving. This Third Song benefits all those around them. When people feel this Third Song they are reminded of the beauty and love within themselves. When people see the Third Song shared between Jim and Abby they are reminded of God and inspired to Love. We only attract what we are willing to become. You only get what you express. By uncovering their inner divine light Jim and Abby have attracted the light of another. Most couples are afraid of another’s growth. In self-growth you are continually becoming the next verJuly 2012

sion of yourself. This can threaten a person in a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;normalâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; relationship. This is not this union. As each of you continue to grow within and serve you will get to know the next wonderful version of Jim...of Abby. As such, your union will continue to become something far greater than you think. Our life and innate gifts belong to humanity. As both of you know, it is in the giving of your Life and Gifts to God, to humanity, that we feel One. Abby, the Love Jim gives to you belongs to you, but not only you. Jim, the love Abby gives to you, belongs to you, but not only you. Continue to let the Love you share, this Third Song you create in your loving, belong to God, and to humanity. It is in this reverence of what you share, and what you give that it remains sacred. Each of you have already, and will continue to, grow in your inner experience and awareness of the True Love You Are and share. Let marriage be the beginning of getting to know each other and challenging each other into greater loving. Let this commitment today be the beginning and not the end. Re-commit and reevaluate your union every month. Continue to cheer each other along and compassionately share when the other is out of integrity. Support each otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s dreams, aspirations, and spiritual expansion, and never fall into the illusion that the True Love you share belongs to you alone.

tence and in your union be of service to humanity? Jim says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I do.â&#x20AC;? The wedding was a spectacular experience of Love and connection. Personally for me now, my commitment and service to Love, God, and humanity keeps me full and joy-filled. I am excited to one day participate in a love like Jim and Abbyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s. Sharing love with another â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;masterful musicianâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; can only take a person to deeper levels of the Soul that cannot be found alone. Such is the adventure of the Third Song. I am leading a retreat at Song of Morning Retreat Center August 23rd to 26th where you can meet Abby and Jim who live there!

The True Love you share is experienced, felt, and expressed, but you are never done learning. Most couples give love to get love back, and marriages become a â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;trade agreementâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; for love. â&#x20AC;&#x153;I give you security you give me validation.â&#x20AC;? This is not this union. Jim and Abby, continue to give love to each other as an expression of the Love you come to realize within yourself and NOT as a validation. True Love can only happen between two who have come to know a high level of Love or God within. True Love is ever evolving, changing, and expanding into greater good. This Love you both share will continue to expand each of you into knowing the Love and Divinity within. This True Love...this Third Song you are both playing now, in your loving, creates a stronger energetic foundation for your service to others and has already allowed a broader expansion of who God intended you to Be. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do you Abby, vow to Love Jim, strengthen his connection to the Divine, be of lifelong benefit to his existence and in your union be of service to humanity? Abby says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I do.â&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x153;Do you Jim, vow to Love Abby, strengthen her connection to the Divine, be of lifelong benefit to her exisJuly 2012

AFFIRMATIONS with Deborah:

Affirmation can help you create Deeper Relationship with Self and Others Prosperous Careers Daily Affirmation I am so joyous and grateful for the continuous flourishing of creative expression within my career. It flows within me and from me, positively impacting the lives of numerous others. I am blessed and help others to see that they are also. Within my work world, I am enjoying vigorous and healthy growth on a daily basis. Vast economic well-being, advancement and marked success are my daily experiences. I connect with, and follow, my Divine purpose. I allow it to unfold in ways greater than I have ever imagined. I am an eternal optimist. My career “cup” is full and overflowing with creative ideas, inspiration, fun and adventure. I am at peace with my decisions since I “tune into” Spirit’s guidance and support every moment of every day. Daily, I choose to release and let go of any attachment to “conditions” and, instead, focus on how Truth, goodness, mercy and joy are with me, and within me, always. I release my work to its greatest and highest good. I choose to serve others in a heartfelt, generous, compassionate manner. Harmony and respect are paramount within my relationships with clients, customers, staff, colleagues and bosses. I easily forgive and let go of strife, perceived hurts, judgments and misunderstandings. I allow Spirit to help me see the true essence of those I work with continuously. As a result, my career relationships continue to grow in mature, healthy ways. My career presents numerous opportunities of an expanded expression of my authentic self. God’s grace vastly covers and protects my work world daily. I always remember that the love of God greets me wherever I go. I play “full out” and “show up” authentically regarding my ideas, beliefs, ethics and values. I demonstrate my talents, abilities and optimism openly. Each day I remember how God is my source and my work place is merely a channel. I am open to new and unexpected channels coming to me daily. This or something better. So be it. Thank you, God!

Hail Mary

Come and experience Yoga CCPlus style!

Years ago I was a member of a church group that passed a framed picture of the Virgin Mary from house to house. According to the legend surrounding the picture, this same picture had been passed from house to house since 1938 and was passed through the 2nd world war, in secret for fear of confiscation, discovery, and retaliation from the enemy. (I supposed it was Hitler, but some people thought it could be a number of anti-catholic groups.) We were to keep the picture for a period of two weeks and then pass it on. I received the picture twice (must have known I needed the help!!) and the last time I passed it on I never heard about it again. To add to the mystery of the picture it was passed on by only one person. You gave it to that person and requested it be passed on to...and you would name the person. This was the way it was handled through the years, the idea being to protect the people receiving the picture. Hail, Mary! Full of Grace!! The Lord is with Thee: Blessed art Thou among women, and Blessed is the Fruit of Thy womb, Jesus! Holy Mary, Mother of God: Pray for us sinners, now, and at the hour of our death. Amen. I’M MOVING HER TO YOUR HOUSE please move her on to someone you love.

Srila Prabhupada, the FounderAcharya of the International Society of Krishna Consciousness, introduced this pure Vaishnava philosophy to the Western world through his approach of embracing people from all walks of life and spiritual beliefs. His only mission was to show all of us how to love God. In this way, we achieve the greatest perfection in our life.

Ratha Yatra originated 5,000 years ago in India, on the East Coast state of Orrisa, in a city called Jagannatha Puri. The Festival celebrates Sri Krishna’s return home and is held annually in the months of June-July to honor the Lord in His form as Jagannatha, the Lord of the Universe. Millions of people from around the world descend upon Jagannath Puri (India) to celebrate this unbelievable festival. The Festival of Chariots was first performed outside of India on July 9, 1967 in San Francisco , under the supervision of His Divine Grace A.C. Bhaktivedanta Swami Prabhupada. Srila Prabhupada first got the idea for performing the festival in San Francisco while looking out the window of his room above Frederick Street. Today, the Festival of the Chariots is performed around the world. Find out more please visit: WWW.THEFESTIVALOFCHARIOTS.COM

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

We convince ourselves that life will be better after we get married, have a baby, then another. Then we are frustrated that the kids aren’t old enough and we’ll be more content when they are. After that we’re frustrated that we have teenagers to deal with. We will certainly be happy when they are out of that stage. We tell ourselves that our life will be complete when our spouse gets his or her act together, when we get a nicer car, are able to go on a nice vacation, when we retire. The truth is, there’s no better time to be happy than right now. If not now, when? Your life will always be filled with challenges. It’s best to admit this to yourself and decide to be happy anyway. One of my favorite quotes comes from Alfred D Souza. He said: “For a long time it had seemed to me that life was about to begin - real life. But there was always some obstacle in the way, something to be gotten through first, some unfinished business, time still to be served, a debt to be paid. Then life would begin. At last it dawned on me that these obstacles were my life”. This perspective has helped me to see that there is no way to happiness. Happiness is the way. So, treasure every moment that you have. And treasure it more because you shared it with someone special, special enough to spend your time and remember that time waits for no one.

Spiritual Healing appointments may take place in person (Auburns Hills, MI area) or by telephone.

Energy fields interact within an individual person, interact between one person and another, and between one person and the world in general. When we begin to appreciate ourselves as fields of energy with the ability to affect the quality of our own experience, we will be getting in touch with our innate ability to heal ourselves and create health every day of our lives.” ~Christiane Northrup, M.D.

Happiness is the Way

So stop waiting until you finish school, until you go back to school, until you lose ten pounds, until you gain ten pounds, until you have kids, until your kids leave the house, until you start work, until you retire, until you get married, until you get divorced, until Friday night, until Sunday morning, until you get a new car or home, until home is paid off, until spring, until summer, until fall, until winter, until you are off welfare, until the first or fifteenth, until your song comes on, until you’ve had a drink, until you’ve sobered up, until you die, until you are born again to decide that there is no better time than right now to be happy. Happiness is a journey, not a destination. Work like you don’t need money, Love like you’ve never been hurt, And dance like no one’s watching. - Author Unknown yet appreciated!

A Blue Rose Having four visiting family members, my wife was very busy, so I offered to go to the store for her to get some needed items, which included light bulbs, paper towels, trash bags, detergent and Clorox. So off I went. I scurried around the store, gathered up my goodies and headed for the checkout counter, only to be blocked in the narrow aisle by a young man who appeared to be about sixteen-years-old. I wasn’t in a hurry, so I patiently waited for the boy to realize that I was there. This was when he waved his hands excitedly in the air and declared in a loud voice, “Mommy, I’m over here.” It was obvious now, he was mentally challenged and also startled as he turned and saw me standing so close to him, waiting to squeeze by. His eyes widened and surprise exploded on his face as I said, “Hey Buddy, what’s your name?” “My name is Denny and I’m shopping with my mother,” he responded proudly. “Wow,” I said, “that’s a cool name; I wish my name was Denny, but my name is Steve.” “Steve, like Stevarino?” he asked. “Yes,” I answered. “How old are you Denny?” “How old am I now, Mommy?” he asked his mother as she slowly came over from the next aisle. “You’re fifteen-years-old Denny; now be a good boy and let the man pass by.” I acknowledged her and continued to talk to Denny for several more minutes about summer, bicycles and school. I watched his brown eyes dance with excitement, because he was the centre of someone’s attention. He July 2012

then abruptly turned and headed toward the toy section. Denny’s mom had a puzzled look on her face and thanked me for taking the time to talk with her son. She told me that most people wouldn’t even look at him, much less talk to him. I told her that it was my pleasure and then I said something I have no idea where it came from, other than by the prompting of the Holy Spirit. I told her that there are plenty of red, yellow, and pink roses in God’s Garden; however, “Blue Roses” are very rare and should be appreciated for their beauty and distinctiveness. You see, Denny is a Blue Rose and if someone doesn’t stop and smell that rose with their heart and touch that rose with their kindness, then they’ve missed a blessing from God. She was silent for a second, then with a tear in her eye she asked, “Who are you?” Without thinking I said, “Oh, I’m probably just a dandelion, but I sure love living in God’s garden.” She reached out, squeezed my hand and said, “God bless you!” and then I had tears in my eyes. May I suggest, the next time you see a BLUE ROSE, whichever differences that person may have, don’t turn your head and walk off. Take the time to smile and say Hello. Why? Because, by the grace of GOD, this mother or father could be you. This could be your child, grandchild, niece, nephew or any other family member. What a difference a moment can mean to that person or their family. From an old dandelion! Live simply. Care deeply. Love generously. Speak kindly.....

Attitude of Gratitude

able we will be hurt, often by those we love, trust and depend on most.

From a young age, we are often told to be grateful for what we have. As adults, most of us have heard the phrase and have been encouraged to have the “attitude of gratitude.” Why? Why do most of our spiritual mentors maintain this stance? And, what does it mean to have an attitude of gratitude? Webster’s dictionary defines attitude as “1: posture, 2: a mental position or feeling with regard to a fact or state.” It defines gratitude as “thankfulness” and grateful as “thankful, appreciative.” From this I can perceive that an attitude of gratitude might be choosing to have the mental position or feeling of being thankful and appreciative about a chosen person, event, or anything. This choice gives us great power and opens hearts and doors otherwise left closed. Thus, giving us holy encounters to experience, learn and grow from. As the world’s consciousness and vibration grows, we are coming to the awareness of the desire to be closer to Source/God. Most of us has had at least one experience of oneness with Source/God and want more. We want to expand that feeling of connection and oneness with God/Source. The question is how. One way is through this attitude of gratitude. We are now coming to realize and appreciate the abundance of the universe. This awareness is different than the feeling of lack most of us grew up with. We were and are taught that we have to fight to succeed, work is more important than wisdom and love, and that nothing short of being the best is good enough. We grow up thinking that if we give away something, we lose and someone else gains. We are taught that if we allow ourselves to be open and vulner34

So, we shut ourselves down—putting on emotional armor leading to patterns of thought on how to best defend ourselves, which in turn becomes programmed into our brains/biocomputers and is then energetically worn by our physical and spiritual bodies. We close ourselves off from our own Divine Self and from Source/God. Please take a moment to breathe in. Notice how your body feels; your head, your shoulders, your chest... Now, please think of something you’re grateful for or appreciative of. Now take another deep breath. Feel the opening? Having an attitude of gratitude opens the heart spiritually, emotionally and physically. It is one of the many ways to open the channel to Source/God and Love. This does not mean to force yourself to be grateful for something you’re really feeling negative about. This means to be open and non-judgmental while seeing the protective programming you have adopted with your emotions, thoughts and behavior. Judgment is just another way to protect ourselves from perceived possible hurt. Your protective thought programming was your survival choice, and you did survive, so it worked for a time. While it may not be working to get you what you want now, it did help you survive at the time it was needed. Being judgmental about this armor is just another way to beat yourself down, keeping gratitude for this survival skill at bay. When you are able to acknowledge and be grateful for your old survival skills, you are then in a position to release them, opening up, allowing Source/God to connect and fill the new void with the Divine Love you are. Start with something simple. For example, say you and your spouse are having company and your spouse’s usual pattern is to worry about everything being perfect. They start demand-

www.BodyMindSpiritGUIDE.com

ing you do this and that. Your normal response is to start defending. The thought comes up, “Haven’t I done enough around here. I can never do anything right for you.” You start getting a sour attitude. Your vibration goes down, yet this time you catch yourself. You can notice the negative thought and reframe it, possibly to something like, “You know, they always become a perfectionist. It really has nothing to do with me. I can appreciate how much they want to do things right.” As you are able to feel grateful, your heart can open up and send a beam of love towards your spouse. The vibration changes, and so do they most likely. You are able to stand strong, feeling joy in the love and light of your divine Self and your connection with Source/God. When we are not being grateful and appreciative our vibration lowers, and we feel negative and defensive. We certainly are not demonstrating the divine love and light that we are, severing our connection with Source/God. Learning to be aware of when our vibration lowers and when we close off, can lead us to identify our thoughts that are triggering this downward slide from our true self so we can change them and find the love and gratitude in any situation. We then allow connection with our divine self. This in turn, allows us to be the joy, love and peace we really are. We are able to maintain our connection with Source/God longer and more often. Our vibration raises and affects those around us, affecting the world. All starting with the attitude of gratitude. Amazing! Miche Lame’, MALLP , is the owner of Spiritual Living in Berkley.

EXERCISE PLAN FOR PEOPLE OVER 40 Begin by standing on a comfortable surface, where you have plenty of room at each side. With a 5-lb potato bag in each hand, extend your arms straight out from your sides and hold them there as long as you can. Try to reach a full minute, and then relax.. Each day you’ll find that you can hold this position for just a bit longer. After a couple of weeks, move up to 10-lb potato bags. Then try 50-lb potato bags and then eventually try to get to where you can lift a 100-lb potato bag in each hand and hold your arms straight for more than a full minute. (I’m at this level.) After you feel confident at that level.....put a potato in each bag.

Qigong – Harmonizing with the Seasons –Summer Chinese Medical theory recognizes that each season is associated with one of our internal organs, and teach that in order to keep our health and energy at an optimum level, it would be wise to try to live in harmony with the season and to use this time to not only strengthen the associated organ, but also not to weaken it. The Summer corresponds to the Fire Element, the emotion of Joy, and the main organ associated with the Summer is the Heart, however the Small Intestine is also effected. While they are very important from a Western Medical perspective, they also play a vital role in maintaining good health in Qi Healing Therapy. The summer is filled with abundant energy, long days and sunshine. This is the most yang (energizing) time of year. Summer is about expansion, growth, activity and creativity, moving outward in nature and in our lives. In human anatomy, the heart, mind, and spirit are ruled by the fire element. Thus, top priority should be given to the heart, mind, and spirit for staying healthy in summer. Fire element When the fire element is in balance, the heart is strong and healthy, the mind is calm and sleep is sound, and the heart properly governs and circulates the blood, and its paired energy with the small intestines, insures the breakdown of food in the small intestines. When imbalanced, we may either lack joy (depression) or have an excess of joy (maniac condition). Fire is symbolic of maximum activity or greatest Yang; nature at its peak of growth, and the motion is upward. Agitation, nervous exhaustion, heartburn and insomnia are other indicators of imbalance in this area.

Finding Balance in Joy Joy, as an expression of love, is a wonderful vibration, and according to the Universal Law of Attraction, as we think and feel - we vibrate. And as we vibrate, we attract. When we vibrate with joy and love, we not only radiate this to others and our surroundings, but we also attract its harmonious energies back to us. Bring the joy, love and happiness that’s already inside you to life! As you resonate with joy, love and happiness you automatically draw to you a more meaningful, healthy, loving life. Finding joy in things we do can give great pleasure, satisfaction and the ability to appreciate all that we are given in this wonderful journey called life! Tips for Summer Health Food In summer a lighter diet feels better, and it’s the perfect time for cool Yin foods. Chinese classify food according to energetic qualities of temperature, taste, and the ability to strengthen the body. Food with cool/cold properties can clear heat, reduce toxins, and generate body fluids. Cooling foods tend towards green; lettuce, cucumbers, and watercress are some of the coolest. Fish and seafood are cooling, while most meats are warming. Fresh fruits and vegetables from local farmers markets are good choices, while spicy foods, alcohol, July 2012

or caffeine are heating to the system. Go outside, exercise and drink lots of clean, pure water. Some good veggies fruits and other choices are: watermelon, apricot, cantaloupe, lemon, peach, orange, asparagus, sprouts, bamboo, bok choy, broccoli, chinese cabbage, corn, cucumber, white mushroom, snow peas, spinach, summer squash, watercress, seaweed, mung beans, cilantro, mint and dill. Cold Chrysanthemum Tea is an ideal drink for hot summer days as it clears Heat, benefits Qi, promotes body fluid secretion and is an excellent thirst quencher!

gishness and possibly diarrhea. Stay away from dairy, heavy, greasy, and fried foods.

Acupressure Acupressure is a great tool to help relieve stress and anxiety. Yintang is a point between the eyebrows; the “third eye” which is a very calming and healing spot. The translation for Yintang, is “Hall of Impression.“ Hall is a corridor, passageway, or large entrance of a house. An impression is a strong effect on the intellect, emotions, or conscience, so Yintang can be viewed as the entrance to the mind. Because of this, the Yintang point can calm the mind, enhances focus, soothes emotions, promote sleep, and relieves depression. You can gently press this spot when feeling agitated or angry. Make sure that you relax your forehead, especially under your finger and take some long deep breaths as you just clear your mind releasing stress, worry and anxiety.

Emotionally, this element is associated with the mind and it’s stability. The heart is the “seat” of the mind and therefore, its highest expression is love, as well as enthusiasm, warmth in human relationships and conscious awareness. Emotions: Joy

Just My Point of View... Experience everything. Ask questions; ask for the truth and the reality that comes with it, though honesty is the only way you will get to know a person and be able to step past the boundaries that we all put up. Learn from peoples mistakes, but more importantly know when it is ok to make your own, because no one will do everything right. Never hold back, even if you think you are wasting your time, there will always be something to learn from any experience, it just depends on the way you look at things. Prepare and expect the drama and uncertainty that comes with doing something different. Be ready for it, plan and think of it as a personal challenge of your skills. If you can diffuse a problem or cope with a situation that might seem out of control to others, then you may have already won a battle. Keep a positive attitude. Do not wallow in your own frustrations and poor luck. People do not want to be with losers. By always portraying your own self-pity you will push away the people that will really be able to help you. Do not lead people on if you think you are in a situation that is over your head. Be honest. Stop and get out. In the long run you will be better off. Be a role model, inspire, push and motivate people. Through otherâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s fortunes you will be repaid in some form or another, even if it does not happen immediately, it will. If someone else becomes a better person due to your influence, then you have both gained respect and gratitude from the situation. Above all, be a good friend. Friendship is the one thing that you will miss the most if it is taken away or lost. Always become friends first, this applies to every relationship you make. Always try to build that bridge of friendship between people; without it, you are just going through the motions. Never, never burn bridges. from- Stefan Misaraca

Oh! The Stories They Tell “As a people, we tell stories to get our morals across in a very simple way,” said Patrick Wilson, one of the organizers of the First Annual Midwest Peacemaking Conference of the Little River Band of Ottawa Indians, in Manistee. Native American traditions and storytelling permeated the Conference that started with the Little River Warrior Society posting of the colors, a drumming circle and opening prayer. With a focus on our connectedness with Mother Earth, the stories that were told were signs for us to be open to a new way of thinking—that we are all related, connected and interdependent. To have a healthy community, we must focus on intervention and prevention of violence and disharmony. The opening speaker, Kay Pranis, has worked for the Minnesota Department of Corrections as the Restorative Justice Planner, written books on peacemaking circles and worked with leaders in corrections, police, courts, neighborhood groups, faith communities and education to develop responses to crime and conflict based on restorative justice. The restorative justice approach heals the harm that was done by a negative act by bringing together the parties in a circle. Success stories using this approach were frequent throughout the conference. Winnie Thomas, an Appellate Court Judge for the Oneida Tribal Judicial System in Wisconsin, talked about the effectiveness of the Peacemaking Mediation Process in resolving family disputes, employee disputes and school problems between students, teachers and administrators. The parties resolve their conflicts by coming together and working out an agreement that is individualized. Winnie said that the key is following the three rules: 1) Respect 2) Respect 3) Respect! Over 4,000 child custody cases were referred to the Peacemaking/ Mediation Process in the Oneida Tribal Judicial System! The Mediation Centers in Michigan, located in every county in the state, are doing great work in healing our communities. Kate Scarbrough, Executive Director of Mediation & Restorative Services in Muskegon, along with program coordinator Jackie Hallberg, told stories about how the power of restorative justice is helping to create a safer and more connected community. The mediation facilitators are trained volunteers ages 26 to 86. July 2012

Jackie said, “It’s all about us together,” including those returning from prison and juvenile crime. With restorative practices, the kids involved in a crime are given the chance to make things right, and the victims who help structure the restoration agreement, are helped to move forward. “It can be a long road, but the results are so worth it,” Jackie said. Kate shared that of the young people caught shoplifting, 97% had a clean record after one year. With regard to substance abuse, the success rate was 87%. Restorative practices work because everyone involved is part of the healing process including the parents. Barry Burnside, Program Coordinator of Dispute Resolution Services of Gryphon Place in Kalamazoo, offered two sessions on forgiveness. There is no word for forgiveness in the Native American language—the closest word is acceptance or healing. There are ceremonies to heal, such as the Casting Away ceremony in the Spring, which is the Native American New Year. In this ceremony, thoughts are released of anyone who has harmed or anyone who has been harmed, so the New Year can start positively. Another description is the Thunder Returns. As the rains come, they wash away the hurts picked up during the last year, and the New Year can begin fresh and clean. Definitions of forgiveness were discussed, including one from Joan Borysenko, “Forgiveness is not the misguided act of condoning irresponsible, hurtful behavior. Nor is it a superficial turning of the other cheek that leaves us feeling victimized and martyred. Rather, it is the finishing of old business that allows us to experience the present free of contamination from the past.” The high-point of the conference was keynote speaker and author, Ernest St. Germaine, an appeals court judge for the Tribal Courts in Wisconsin and faculty member of the National Judicial College at the University of Nevada-Reno. A master storyteller and author of Winaboozhoo Adizokaan, a collection of traditional Ojibwe stories, he captivated the audience for several hours. The healing power of love in peacemaking practices works. Peace is always there. Guiding someone to realize that is the key to peacemaking. Now that is a story to be told!

Spiritual Horoscopes Cancer (June 21 – July 22)

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22)

Happy birthday Cancer! Free yourself from childhood issues that limit your success at work. You’re so sensitive, and are quite susceptible to subconscious memories. Meditate often and allow weird feelings to flood into your mind. Write about past experiences and how they seem connected to blocks you have with authority figures today. By bringing things to light, you’ll build confidence, and pave the way for big changes over the next six months!

– Meditation and quiet time will give you inventive ideas about finances! Read books on spiritual prosperity for added inspiration. You might also talk with a trusted friend for advice on budgeting. If partnered, find ways to be “on the same page” where money is concerned. Approach him/her in a gentle, non-critical way. Opening to each other in this way will increase your intimacy and strengthen your bond.

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22) Mercury is retrograde in your sign, and could make you feel quite snappy and defensive. Try to observe your emotions. When you have a sudden internal shift, take alone time as soon as you can. Write about your feelings. Meditate. Please don’t act on your anger! You could be re-living a past life scenario. Stay quiet until you receive clear, stable guidance from your center. Asking for answers in dreams could reveal more of the story and relieve your irksomeness!

Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22) You’ll have a renaissance in your relationship! Re-invigorate your connection by doing new activities together. Let yourself go out of your comfort zone, Libra! If single, approach dating with a new attitude. Be open to various people you would have overlooked or who aren’t “your type”. Because warrior Mars is in your sign, beware of being irritable and starting a fight in order to feel stimulated. Work out, have fun, take risks – positive ways to express Mars! Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) Clear your subconscious mind of resentments. Meditate and think back over the past two years. Forgive and release disappointments and old anger that have become lodged in your mind. Make sure you especially focus on forgiving yourself! You’ll have more energy, better health, and feel like a weight has been lifted from your soul. (And it has because forgiving is the way to erase karma!) Since Mercury is retrograde, please try not to over-react, worry or jump to conclusions, especially when at work. Stay centered and most things will work out without difficulty.

www.BodyMindSpiritGUIDE.com

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) You could be starting a relationship with someone you’ve known for awhile who has just been a friend – or someone you were involved with in the past. If already partnered, you’ll see your mate with new eyes and fall in love again. Make sure you have some sort of spiritual bond with whoever you’re with. This makes relationships deeper so you won’t get bored! Your meditation life has lots of “goodies” in store, so make time for your soul. Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) If you’re having a financial issue, meditate on how your family of origin history could be at the root. You’ll be able to heal old patterns that cause money fears, debt trouble, or even emotional intimacy difficulties. Your work life is likely going great, so most of your fears are the “what if” types that you concoct so well! Please trust in the abundance of the Universe -- and that you deserve financial and emotional comfort! Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) Beware of getting into old patterns in your relationship. With Mercury retrograde, you could have needless misunderstandings, and suffer from silly worries. Meditate to release heartbreaks from long ago, so you can soak in the present. If you feel emotionally off-center, make sure you’re taking spiritual actions. Are you actually mediating, or just thinking you’ll get around to it? Have you been skipping yoga classes because you’re busy with “other stuff”? Actions will create new thoughts! Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20) The Universe is pushing you into deeper levels of intimacy. It’s time July 2012

to let go of fears! You’ll be amazed at how freeing it feels to trust your spouse/partner in a more intense way than ever before. You could have opportunities to join financial forces with someone, which could also bring “stuff” to the surface. You have such lovely energy to share, so please relax and let yourself blend and connect. Aries (March 21 – April 19) If you’re starting a new relationship, and something seems to have shifted, don’t give up yet! As an Aries, you’re ready to bolt when you have a challenge that looks like a dead end. Be patient through August, and the energy should open up again. Be consistent with your meditation! So much intuition is available if you’d put in the time -- and tolerate the boredom you feel when “nothing happens”. View the lulls as the calm before the breakthrough! Taurus (April 20 – May 20) If you’re having any health or anxiety issues, meditate and see if you’re holding in anger or suppressing fear. Write in your journal about your feelings. Let everything out. There could be emotional leftovers from childhood, or current situations. Don’t censor yourself as you write. You could feel better right away. But if you need to confront anyone, you’ll have the courage, poise and perfect words to be able to correct any circumstance. Gemini (May 21 – June 20) – You could be starting a new relationship. Be sure you’re choosing with your current goals and ethics. Don’t stay in the safety zone of “your type” if that type never worked before! People in your outer world need to match your inner state of mind. Don’t be afraid to let your relationships evolve as you grow! If s/he meets your improved standards, watch out for picking on flaws of either yourself or him/her. Criticism is your form of protection – and causes you to seem cold. Let your heart shine without any impediments! Aluna Michaels, M.A. is a second-generation astrologer and soul evolutionist practitioner.

He Who Tells the Best Story… A clergyman was walking down the street when he came upon a group of about a dozen boys, all of them between 10 and 12 years of age. The group surrounded a dog. Concerned lest the boys were hurting the dog, he went over and asked “What are you doing with that dog?” One of the boys replied, “This dog is just an old neighborhood stray. We all want him, but only one of us can take him home. So we’ve decided that whichever one of us can tell the biggest lie will get to keep the dog.” Of course, the reverend was taken aback. “You boys shouldn’t be having a contest telling lies!” he exclaimed. He then launched into a ten minute sermon against lying, beginning, “Don’t you boys know it’s a sin to lie,” and ending with, “Why, when I was your age, I never told a lie.” There was dead silence for about a minute. Just as the reverend was beginning to think he’d gotten through to them, the smallest boy gave a deep sigh and said, “All right, give him the dog.”

The sin of lying A preacher told his listeners, “Next week, I plan to preach about the sin of lying. To help you understand my sermon, I want you all to read Mark 17.” The following Sunday, as he prepared to deliver his sermon, the pastor asked for a show of hands. He wanted to know how many had read Mark 17. Every hand went up. The minister smiled and said, “Mark has only sixteen chapters. I will now proceed with my sermon on the sin of lying.”

Moral Lesson A pastor’s wife was preparing pancakes for her young sons. The boys began to argue over who would get the first pancake. Their Mother saw the opportunity for a moral lesson. If Jesus were sitting here, He would say, “Let my brother have the first pancake. I can wait.” The oldest boy turned to his younger brother and said, “You be Jesus.” All jokes are funny, just not necessarily funny to you! If you have humor to share: howardgolden@comcast.net.

Helping the SelfEsteem of Children “I believe the children are our future. Teach them well and let them lead the way Show them all the beauty they possess inside. Give them a sense of pride to make it easier...” So goes the chart topping Whitney Houston song. Sure, we sing along, but how many of us actually put these beautiful lyrics into action? Maggie Varney, Founder & CEO of Wigs 4 Kids Wellness Center, and her staff believe deeply in protecting the dignity of children and fostering their desire to be just kids. They demonstrate their dedication daily by helping children connect with their inner beauty, realize their outer beauty and develop a positive sense of self. While there are other organizations that provide wigs for children, Maggie discovered that Michigan lacked an organization that did so at no cost regardless of the reason for the hair loss. A very important distinction. In 2003, she set out to change that and as word of her new endeavor spread, she was able to transform the lives of countless children thanks to the support of donors and volunteers. By 2005, Wigs 4 Kids of Michigan received a non-profit designation. “Our focus is on children from preschool age through 18, coping with hair loss from cancer treatments, alopecia and trichotillomania,” explained Maggie. “We provide custommade, age-appropriate wigs absolutely free to help them as they grapple with their changing 44

outer appearance. We also assist them as they struggle with social, emotional and psychological issues associated with enduring life altering medical conditions.” To offer these expanded services, the Wigs 4 Kids Wellness Center was established in 2010. Children benefit from free therapeutic activities including art, music and drama therapy, tutoring, selfempowerment and yoga classes. The Wellness Center is equipped with designated space for special activities, an area for Wigs 4 Kids merchandise and private offices for individual counseling sessions for both the child and family members. Locally, Maggie connected with the oncology departments of seven hospitals, cosmetology schools, churches, businesses and communities to raise awareness and support for her mission. Wigs 4 Kids received 8,000 hair donations last year, which helped defray the cost of the wigs. However, even with the hair donations, the expense of creating each wig is $800. It’s easy to see that although Maggie is fiscally responsible, Wigs 4 Kids is debt free; it is a constant financial challenge to keep up with demand. “We are blessed to receive volunteer support in the form of time and services,” Maggie said. “Yet, we continue to require financial donations. Our ‘Time, Talent and Treasure’ campaign

www.BodyMindSpiritGUIDE.com

breaks it down: Time: Come Volunteer! Talent: Donate Your Talent and Skills! Treasure: Make a Monetary Contribution. We are funded solely by these contributions and gratefully accept donations.” Not only is Wigs 4 Kids unique in Michigan and the U.S., according to Maggie it is the only center of its kind in the world. Amazingly, she receives calls from countries as far flung as Germany, Spain, Switzerland and Iraq. Obviously, she has tapped into an important, and until now, unmet need.

If lawyers are disbarred and clergymen defrocked, then doesn’t it follow that electricians can be delighted, musicians denoted, cowboys deranged, models deposed, tree surgeons debarked, and dry cleaners depressed? If Fed Ex and UPS were to merge, would they call it Fed UP? I was thinking about how people seem to read the Bible a whole lot more as they get older; then it dawned on me...they’re cramming for their final exam. I thought about how mothers feed their babies with tiny little spoons and forks, so I wondered what do Chinese mothers use. Toothpicks? If it’s true that we are here to help others, then what exactly are the others here for?

“Life is not the way it’s supposed to be.. It’s the way it is.. The way we cope with it, is what makes the difference.

TODAY IS THE OLDEST YOU’VE EVER BEEN, YET THE YOUNGEST YOU’LL EVER BE, SO ENJOY THIS DAY WHILE IT LASTS.

In primitive society, when native tribes beat the ground with clubs and yelled, it was called witchcraft; today, in civilized society, it is called golf.

The Chakras and the Heart The alchemists taught, “As above, so below;” and “As below, so above.” I learned this important axiom in my earliest days as a healer and have held to this ancient principle ever since. Too many so-called healers have mistaken ideas of how the body should be balanced. If the individual—the healer or the patient—is not connected to mother earth through the root chakra, then it is possible to be walking around so heavenly that you are no earthly good. Of course, the crown chakra should be connected with the God-source, but this chakra is less likely to be ignored. The body consists of seven primary chakras, beginning with the root chakra—the first chakra which in western tradition is generally red. It governs the physical body, sexuality, the sex organs and the life force, and works best with a strong connection with the earth. In addition to the seven primary chakras, the major joints of the body hold the secondary chakras at the knees, elbows, shoulders and so on, followed by the tertiary chakras at the smaller joints in the finger and toes. All chakras are important to the well-being of the individual but the primary chakras are generally considered the most important. The second chakra is orange and falls between the root chakra and the navel. It governs emotions or the emotional body according to western beliefs. In other cultures the chakras can manifest differently, so texts may describe the chakras, their colors, positions in the body and their functions differently, yet may be accurate for the culture on which they were based. My knowledge of the chakras is based on my personal experiences and my earliest training.

chakra of love and prosperity and is mistakenly thought of as an output chakra. Western religions have preached for centuries that it is better to give than to receive, however, it is important that we open our heart and learn to receive. The heart is the center of joy, and its lesson is for us to accept love, success and prosperity. The fifth chakra is blue and governs communication and speech. This is another chakra that is easily afflicted in women who are taught to “hold their tongue” and keep their opinions to themselves. In western culture, women who speak their mind tend to be looked down upon if they do not speak “softly.” The sixth chakra is the third eye, is purple in most cultures and governs forward sight. Western women use this chakra openly, although they can still be scoffed at. People often call these insights “women’s intuition” as if it were something to be scorned. The lesson of the sixth chakra is to honor the information received and act accordingly, or suffer the consequences of ignoring the messages. The crown chakra is white and is connected to God, the One, the Universal Energy Source. The lesson here is balance—to not become so overly-dependent upon God, “the Above” such that “the Below” is forgotten. The God source is but one part of the Universal Energy source, the alchemists recognized—As Above, So Below, and As Below, So Above.

The third chakra governs the mental body and in the west is generally yellow, often the dominant chakra, and the one that is “seen” since many individuals in the west feel disconnected from their body. They seem to function only with their mind, denying their physical and emotional bodies, which often results in serious diseases.
