Hidden Messages You may have seen the black and white squares, like the one at the end of this article. They are called QR, short for quick response. The QR looks like a jumble of small squares. In three of the corners are larger black squares with a white square and another black square inside of that. So, what is a QR? A simple way of describing it, is that a QR is a barcode designed for phones and tablets to read. It is a two dimensional barcode and can hold much more data than the old barcodes. The one at the end of our article will take you to our website. This is the most popular use of a QR. Others will dial the phone, send an eMail, others just contain data. To the human eye, they are just a bunch of little squares. In the same way, the old barcodes are just a bunch of lines. The algorithm that decodes the standard barcodes is so small and so simple, that they have been embedded in the barcode scanners for years. We accept that a computer, even one as small as a cell phone, can decode the messages that are hidden in these barcodes and QRs. Yet many of us find it hard to believe that some people can decode other hidden messages. There are people who can walk up to a computer and tell you why it is not working, just by looking at it. There are people who can look at a person or listen to them talk and decode the micro-expressions or the stress indicators in the voice to tell if what they are saying is true. These special powers of observation are widely accepted. A medical intuitive can look at a August 2012

person or touch them and tell what ails them. If they have a medical degree, most people accept them. If they do not have the MD behind their name, they are scoffed at. Two hundred years ago, people did not believe in the existence of bacteria much yet in the virus. Today we know of microscopes, to see the miniature, telescope, to see what is far away, and even time lapse photography, to see the very slow or very fast. There are people who see or sense these extremes. Some autistic children see patterns that are hidden to the rest of us. Computers are often used to break codes. Yet, these exceptional people see the hidden codes. When you look at a QR remember that there lots of hidden codes. There are special people who see, hear or sense the messages hidden in these codes. Everything is possible, if you are open to the knowledge that is waiting for you in the universe.

Your Body Sings... How To Start Singing On Key Thriving Through Movement

I am a bodyworker. In my practice I see all types of bodies, big and small, short and tall. One thing they each all have in common is that each speaks of the soul’s life experience. Our bodies are amazing vehicles. They are built to carry us through life. Like a finely trained choir, the body is a finely tuned system that functions harmoniously when we are in balance. When we are stressed, distressed, sick or emotionally unstable, the cells of the body sing off key. Our bodies truly speak our minds and emotions. The body communicates to us the places we are out of balance physically as well as where we hold emotional pain and suffering. Often we don’t recognize that our body is trying to communicate something to us. We don’t connect the dots that the underlying reason for pain and suffering in our body is from an underlying metaphysical cause. In her book, Your Body Speaks Your Mind , Deb Shapiro writes about the underlying issues that manifest in the physical body, calling for our attention. For example, knee pain represents that there is a place in our life where we have lost balance and diminished our dignity. It begs us to look at where we have lost ground. A gall bladder problem represents that there are emotions we find hard to digest and assimilate, that we have bitter, resentful feelings. A pain in the neck might signify the need to put less energy into thinking and more into engaging into physical exercise. It also asks you to look at how well you speak from an open heart.

One powerful way the body expresses itself is through movement. A powerful, confident, strong willed person carries themselves in a manner that commands attention unlike a person who is unsure, and lacks confidence. Picture a ballerina and you think of a body moving with grace, ease and beauty. You see strength, flexibility and power, yet open and expansive. In contrast, a football player moves with determination, force, power and explosive speed. Yogis have known for centuries that we can touch the essence of our being through movement of the body. The way the body moves gives us insight about how we live. Is our body flexible, open and expansive or are we contracted, shielded and closed? Much healing can come from understanding the balance between health and movement. The thoughts we think and the emotions we feel all impact the way we breathe which in turn influences the way we move through life. The body has amazing self-healing abilities when we begin to bring consciousness to breath, body, thought and movement.

The Tree of Life I’ve always loved coconuts. As a child, getting my dad to buy a coconut and letting me drink the precious milk inside was a treat I’ve never forgotten. There are some things you eat and just know that they are good for you. The coconut was one of those foods. Coconuts remind me of tropical places I’ve visited, the relaxing sounds of Jimmy Buffet music, and eating homemade banana coconut cream pie. Adding to my nostalgia is the knowledge that eating organic coconuts and their unprocessed oils is healthy for almost everyone - especially babies and the elderly. But there was a time I was convinced this wasn’t true. “The Hundred Year Lie” written by investigative journalist Randall Fitzgerald outlines a history of the nutritional myths and deceptions that influenced many lives throughout the past century. The excessive profitmaking motives of the chemical, pharmaceutical, and processed food industries were the driving force behind many agricultural laws and nutritional guidelines. Unfortunately, the information propagated by the media was often flawed, including much of the negative press regarding coconut oil. Because coconut oil is a saturated fat, it was one of the foods mistakenly viewed as an artery clogging nemesis. When all saturated fats got a bad rap in the middle of the 20th century, coconut oil lost favor in cooking and baking. And with the introduction of cheaply manufactured trans-fatty acids, the healthier coconut oil was quickly replaced. Health pioneers such as Dr. Royal Lee, founder of Standard Process, Dr. Weston A. Price (Weston A. Price Foundation), and more recently, Dr. 10

Mary Enig PhD, author of “Know Your Fats” have documented the health benefits of saturated fats found both in butter and coconut oil. Based on studies that show the need for fats in the diet, coconut oil is coming back into favor. Coconut oil is now considered by many to be a healthy addition to one’s diet, whether enjoyed as a spread on other foods or taken by the spoonful for detoxification. Good coconut oil is liquid at 76 degrees Fahrenheit. If you want to compare different brands of coconut oil, look to see which one liquefies soonest. The best coconut oils have the lowest melting temperatures so the one that liquefies soonest has the highest quality. A lower melting point of a good quality coconut oil is significant because oils used by the body should be fluid. Cell walls are made of lipids or fats, so the more fluid the fat/oil, the better. This fluidity aids the cell in getting the materials it needs into the cell, as well as helping to get the finished products out. Cells are like little factories that make products to run the body, to provide energy, to rebuild, and maintain the body by performing repairs, so consuming oil with a low melting temperature is very healthy. According to a research paper by Jay Journeau, N.D., Raymond Peat, Ph. D., and Jack Richardson, N.D., D.C., coconut oil acts as an antihistamine, an anti-infective/antiseptic, promotes

www.BodyMindSpiritGUIDE.com

immunity, is a gluccorticoid antagonist (an anti-inflammatory agent), and is a non-toxic anticancer agent. There are even early reports of coconut oil being beneficial with Alzheimer’s/dementia cases. And this is just the short list! (Join me August 23rd at Livonia Civic Center Library to learn more healthy applications of coconut oil and what made it controversial.) I looked for approximately five years before I found a coconut oil that met my rigorous standards. When I found BBG Organic Virgin Cold Pressed Coconut Oil, I knew I had found exactly what I’d been looking for. The neutral taste of this oil was different than most of the other coconut oils since most others I tried imparted a coconut flavor to everything I cooked which wasn’t a good thing, especially if it wasn’t part of the desired flavor. (I didn’t want my eggs to taste like a Pina Colada!) BBG coconut oil was brought into the states by a naturopath who actually lived and worked with the family that produced it. Normally, to obtain a large enough quantity of coconut oil for large retail distribution means that it must be processed. Large scale processing usually alters the oil to the point of destroying the free fatty acids, an essential healthy part of the oil, so I was delighted to learn that this oil was produced by a traditional fermentation method used in the Philippines for many years. This method doesn’t require the use of machines or other substances in the extraction of the oil from the milk and the coconut meat. Since coconut oil doesn’t require sodium hydroxide and hydrogenation to add shelf life to an already stable food, the result is a pure and healthy food with a long shelf life. The health benefits of coconut oil are based primarily on the fatty acid profile. As the best natural source of August 2012

medium-chain triglycerides (MCTs), coconut oil has been shown to provide immediate energy without causing an insulin spike, is easily digested, may boost metabolism, and help the body to burn fat as energy as opposed to storing it. These attributes are especially important when it comes to disease processes that inhibit the body’s ability to use glucose to fuel the body. The MCTs help provide the fuel needed by a compromised body to function. While all coconut oil contains relatively high concentrations of MCTs, a recent assay of the BBG oil reflected higher concentrations of short and medium-chain fatty acids and lower concentrations of long chain fatty acids compared to commercial grade edible oil. Since BBG oil cannot be obtained in regular stores, I’ve made it available at my office for those who want the benefit of a high quality coconut oil.

Vegans especially need to know that this oil is a great substitute for butter for use in cooking and baking. Nutrition in the body is a team effort of many nutrients to support all the systems of the body. I’m glad to have found yet another amazing product that can be used and enjoyed in many ways, while imparting so many healthgiving properties. Now I understand why the coconut palm is referred to by Pacific Islanders as “The Tree of Life.” Dr. William H.

50 Shades of White… Raising your relationships to a higher level There’s a big buzz out there regarding a book called “50 Shades of Gray” by E.L. James. This steamy romance novel depicts a sexual relationship between two adults with a slant towards the erotic. Relationships are always something mysterious to write about and think about. Most of my clients come to me for readings with relationship issues. So what is a good relationship? And why is it so hard for many to attain? Is it like a pot of gold at the end of a rainbow? We search and search and yet it eludes us. In the book “The 5 Languages of Love”, author Gary Chapman talks about the different ways couples communicate love and often it’s like speaking a foreign language. Maybe men are from Mars and women from Venus, but I would like to share some ideas of how to have a higher vibrational relationship with your mate, your children, friends and coworkers.. Here are some shades of “White” and how to illuminate your relationship to a higher level. 1. Prayer. Pray for your partner and those around you. By praying for good things, you are putting out intention to the universe saying bring the “best for this person.” 2. Send your loved one “White Light.” Bathing a person with white can bring protection and clarity.

11. Be joyful. The joy you radiate can be as catching as the common cold. Be someone who others want to be around by raising your vibration with joy. 12. Love yourself. It is stated in the bible to “Love thy neighbor, as we love ourselves.” By loving yourself you allow others to love you and thus the level of your relationships reach a higher level. 13. See those around you as “divine.” When we see that those we are in relationship with carry a divine spark, we tend to have a higher level of respect for them. 14. Release an “agenda.” Our relationships often take on an energy of their own when we try to influence our “agenda” on another. Try to focus on each moment as special with those you love. 15. Meditate. In meditation, we release any negative “mind chatter” which can affect our relationships. By putting some of these steps into a daily practice, you will find that your relationships reach a higher and more gratifying level. Love is a choice. Choose to illuminate your relationships with “white” light and watch them blossom! Laura Ginn Contact Laura at: 313-412-7690. She is also available for readings, parties, events and fundraisers. www.readingsbylaura.net

3. Visualize a happy relationship with better communication. I often draw a vision board of what I would like to reach in a relationship. Stick figures are fine if drawing is not your expertise.

A Genuine Clairvoyant with accurate insightful information for you!

4. Be positive. Focus on positive thoughts and words towards those around you. 5. Show appreciation. Focus on showing appreciation with positive words and deeds. By focusing on gratitude in a relationship we raise the energy of a relationship.

Answers on love, career, finances, family, and soul purpose. Connect with your angels, get the assistance you need in reaching your goals.

6. Quality Time. Allow time for the relationship to grow by spending time with each other. 7. Acts of Service. Do little random acts to show those around you that you care. It could be anything from bringing a small gift of food, to writing a note, to washing someone’s laundry. 8. Physical Touch. Sometimes just a hug, a handshake, or a kiss on the cheek can lift a relationship to a higher level.

Meditation Circle - 2nd & 4th Wednesday’s “Meet Your Angels”. Learn how to attract and connect with high level guides and angels. 7:30pm|Cost $10.00 19444 Garfield, Redford, Mi. 48240 Yoga & Meditation Retreat. November 9 - 11.

9. Write a note. Send someone you care about a note or letter telling them how much you appreciate them.

Includes lodging, meals and workshops. cost $325.

10. Don’t try to win. Release the need to “win” or prove that you are “right” about an issue. Allow those around you to have their ideas and opinions.

It is time to act or you’ll run out of time to do so. Acting now is the single greatest determinant of your joy, health, wealth and well-being in the years to come. Don’t act and the road ahead will be bumpy; act now and anything you desire is possible. A Confluence of Predictions The fact that we are running out of time does not just apply to you or me; it applies to everyone. No one is exempt! Humanity is at one of the greatest crossroads in its history, and it has to do with the end of time. You chose to incarnate on the planet at this time. It is the time when linear time is coming to an end. We are shifting out of 3rd dimensional energies into 4th dimensional energies. This is foretold by many before us. But what is most interesting is the confluence of these predictions. For the last 50 years the energies of the Age of Pisces have been waning and the Age of Aquarius has been waxing. The 2,150 year Age of Pisces ends December 2012. At that time the Age of Aquarius will be fully exerting its energies upon us. Of course, December 2012 is also the end of the Mayan Calendar, the end of Mayan time. What time, the end of linear time, the end of 3rd dimensional energies. The Book of Revelations foretells an apocalypse, apocalypse of what, of the old ways of being and thinking. It speaks of Ascension, ascension of what, of ascending or rising above our thoughts and the power they have over us. It speaks of the rise of the Christ energy, the rise of love in each of us. This too is what the shift from Pisces to Aquarius is. Pisces is mentally driven, Aquarius is heart/love driven. And yet there is more …

anxiety, stress and other uncomfortable emotions. When you are driving down the road at a slow speed it is easy to avoid the bumps and potholes in the road. But when things are speeded up, it’s hard to miss them. You hit them and you feel them. Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to keep moving ahead at a high speed (you really have no choice in that one) while removing or smoothing out the potholes (you do have a choice in this one). You can use these new 4th dimensional energies to make higher and better choices to easily bring into your life more joy, happiness, prosperity and peace. Next month we’ll describe for you what are 3rd and 4th dimensional energies and give you 5 simple things you can do to consciously choose to use the new 4th dimensional energies to your advantage.

Finding True North Within you is a core of truth by which you may find your way in life. For most of us accessing it is kind of hit or miss but you can develop the skills to live guided by your own inner compass. It is a process well worth undergoing. Here are some ideas of how to find your own true north! Your inner wisdom uses some of the same pathways as your dreams do. Paying attention to your dreams can help you gain a foothold into the subtle levels of inner truth. Dreams will only speak when you pay attention to them. Keeping a journal beside your bed and making notes each time you wake up of the images and feelings of your dreams will prove to even those who don’t think they dream that they do. Through regular attention your dream life will become vivid and meaningful. There are great books that help you interpret dreams. Edgar Casey is one author whose books you might seek on this subject. It is a short step from listening to and interpreting your dreams to being better at accessing your intuition. Making time to be still and pay attention is essential. Sitting in nature and letting your senses awaken is a great way to learn. One by one let each sense come alive. Start by feeling the impact of wind, sun, and temperature on your skin and every part of you. Then open your ears and pay attention to the most obvious sounds. Gradually let your hearing become more and more sensitive until you hear the amazing variety of sounds in nature. Do the same with your senses of smell and then vision. Then try to be open with all your senses at once. When you get good at that, practice it while walking. Walking with all your senses open will help you relax into your heart, belly and root rather than being up in your head. That will prepare you to be able to stay in your body while working spiritually. This is an important skill which many intuitive people don’t know about; being centered in your body while working spiritually helps you to receive intuitive information that is specific to your needs. Once you learn to be quiet and aware in the outer sense you will be ready to listen quietly within your own body and soul. Center within your heart and belly and then energetically step back into yourself so that your spine feels like the middle of you instead of the back. In that

space you will find a stillness where you can access Inner Wisdom. Once there, begin by paying attention to your body, asking what it needs or doesn’t need for food and supplements, rest and exercise. Then do what it tells you. Following through will build confidence and trust between your body, mind and spirit. Then move on to other questions, such as asking your inner wisdom to help you decide between options for how to spend your free time. Center as above and sit with your ideas for a bit until you get a clear feeling (often this comes in your belly and heart) about which choice is best for you. Then follow that. Look back on your choice after you have done it to see if you can understand why that was the better option. Your mind and emotions may have been driving you to fulfill certain outer goals. Learning to run your life from true north may require adjusting some of those so you can find a deeper guidance that is really right for you. There is a whole set of soul contracts which you have agreed to on entering this lifetime; by following your inner wisdom you will gradually come into alignment with those. Then life can begin to bring you greater satisfaction and fulfillment than you may have thought possible. You may be surprised by the directions things go, but you’ll have the sense that it is right for you, which will bring greater confidence and peace. Finding and following your inner guidance is essential for your soul to reach enlightenment. It will take practice to distinguish between your mental voice and your deeper true north, but as you get better at doing August 2012

it, you’ll find that you can trust your inner wisdom. But these exercises will help and once you have the skill, it is with you wherever you go. It’s true that the more stressed you are about something, the less accurate will be your interpretation of the messages from within. However, that is just part of the learning process. Trusting your inner wisdom you will ultimately learn to trust God. Trusting God, you learn to let go of worry, stress and fear more quickly and they’ll have less control. You’ll come to know that you have exactly what is needed to take each step along the way. Even when you can’t see where a step is leading, you know that you just have to follow the inner guidance one step at a time and ultimately it will all make sense. Life is full of challenges and pitfalls, but it is also rich with pleasure and meaning when you trust your inner wisdom (which is God within you). Your inner wisdom is your best friend and wherever you are, there is always a true north. Practice following your inner wisdom in all matters of life, even the most mundane. Then when the stakes are high, you will have the trust and skill to find your truth there as well. Enjoy your journey, and always take your inner compass!

BELIEVE in YOU There may be days when you get up in the morning and things aren’t the way you had hoped they would be. That’s when you have to tell yourself that things will get better. There are times when people disappoint you and let you down. But those are the times when you must remind yourself to trust your own judgments and opinions, to keep your life focused on believing in yourself. There will be challenges to face and changes to make in your life, and it is up to you to accept them. Constantly keep yourself headed in the right direction for you. It may not be easy at times, but in those times of struggle you will find a stronger sense of who you are. So when the days come that are filled with frustration and unexpected responsibilities, remember to believe in yourself and all you want your life to be. Because the challenges and changes will only help you to find the goals that you know are meant to come true for you. Keep Believing in Yourself ! “I think the next best thing to solving a problem is finding some humor in it.” - Frank A. Clark

“A sense of humor... is needed armor. Joy in one’s heart and some laughter on one’s lips is a sign that the person down deep has a pretty good grasp of life.” - Hugh Sidey 15

A Life-Transforming Weekend with Sadhguru Coming Oct. 12-14

Inner Engineering is not just a class. It is a combination of methods and technologies gleaned from the ancient science of yoga. Yoga is largely misunderstood in the western world as a physical exercise, but yoga at its essence, is a comprehensive system addressing every aspect of human wellbeing — from body, mind, and emotion to the fundamental life energy within us. Inner Engineering is the very core of this science, offered in a way that makes it accessible to everyone, regardless of age or physical agility. It includes a 21minute meditative practice called Shambhavi Mahamudra, a simple but deeply impactful process that requires no previous experience. What will you get from This? Whatever you are already doing, you’ll do it better, more efficiently, and with greater ease. Life can become a richer experience, filled with joy and a sense of peace. Many people express after taking the class a sense that a burden has been lifted, one they didn’t know was there until it was gone. You can experience relief from chronic ailments like asthma, diabetes, and heart disease. You may find

yourself floating through your day, sleeping less, having deeper connections with the people around you, and being joyful without any effort. But more than that, Inner Engineering puts you in touch with the very core of who you are in a way that is not only profound, but transformative. How does it work? Most solutions offered to the problems we face are an effort to change the external situations. When we are experiencing stress, changing the outside can only remedy the problem for a short time until the next situation comes and we experience the stress again. By looking at the very fundamentals of life, the Inner Engineering program takes you step by step on a journey of self-discovery. It is based on the understanding that we experience life within ourselves, that every thought, every emotion, every joy and misery is happening only within us. By developing this awareness, looking inward at the way we experience our lives, we can transform the way we think, feel and live day to day. The program include • Engaging discourses – Exploring the nature of the mind and practical wisdom to manage life situations • Guided meditations

Be Thankful for Troubles... Be thankful that you don’t already have everything you desire, If you did, what would there be to look forward to? Be thankful when you don’t know something For it gives you the opportunity to learn. Be thankful for the difficult times. During those times you grow. Be thankful for your limitations Because they give you opportunities for improvement. Be thankful for each new challenge Because it will build your strength and character. Be thankful for your mistakes They will teach you valuable lessons. Be thankful when you’re tired and weary Because it means you’ve made a difference. It is easy to be thankful for the good things. A life of rich fulfillment comes to those who are also thankful for the setbacks. GRATITUDE can turn a negative into a positive. Find a way to be thankful for your troubles and they can become your blessings. ~ Author Unknown yet appreciated

Years Trying To Get Pregnant Oh God, Why Me? Then...It Was Revealed… The Best Kept Secret in Livonia… I began my struggle with infertility shortly after I got married at 28 years old. My husband and I tried to conceive on our own for a year with no luck before we were referred to a fertility specialist. I underwent a series of tests only to conclude there was nothing wrong with me or my husband. The doctor I seen suggested we try a procedure known as intrauterine insemination (IUI). I was prescribed a series of ovulation drugs that cost a small fortune ($6000.00 per month). The intention was to develop several mature eggs in hopes that at least one egg will be fertilized resulting in pregnancy. I completed this process 4 times without success before we moved to In vitro fertilization. Our insurance company would not cover IVF and the majority of the prescription drugs associated with this procedure but I felt I had no other option and I really wanted to start a family. I spent several weeks painfully injecting myself with prescription drugs to complete this process. The IVF procedure did work but ended in miscarriage only a couple weeks later. The financial expense was astronomical (over $30,000.00) and left us with just a huge bill and broken hearts. I felt like it was time to give up and move on with my life. For a while I truly believed I would never have the family I always wanted. The prescription drugs I took had a very negative effect on my body including weight gain and actually put me in

a premenopausal state. After nearly a year of having hot flashes and night sweats I decided to make an appointment with Dr. Michael Reggish of Reggish Holistic Wellness. I was shocked that he actually wanted to see me that same week and I didn’t have to wait months. Dr. Mike and his office manager Linda made me feel very welcome. I felt more like a friend than a patient. He truly cared about my situation and was determined to help me. I have never met a doctor who seemed so concerned and willing to help. He put me on a whole food nutritional supplement regimen based on what my body was lacking and also provided me with chiropractic care. I began to lose nearly a pound or two each week following his nutritional protocol and within 10 weeks I was pregnant! I couldn’t believe it when I actually saw a positive pregnancy test. I called him in tears and he was just as excited as I was. I can’t thank Dr. Mike enough for helping me with this miracle. I am truly in his debt! He is an amazing doctor and I would recommend him to anyone. ~ Ruthie L. Ruth was put thru a series of tests for Parasites, Major Food Allergies and Immune Challenges (Viruses, Flu Viruses, Retro Viruses, four different groups of Bacteria and four different groups of Fungus and Yeast) also Heavy Metals and Toxic Chemicals. All of these tests are done for a single fee of $45. With these tests we can identify and determine what factors are contributing to your health concerns. When was the last time you had these tests? When were you last checked for Parasites? Never? Call today at 1-734-427-7110. A better life is around the corner. We can do this together. God Bless, Dr. Michael D. Reggish D.C., N.D.

Diabetic Still?

a vicious cycle when it comes to insulin.

You Don’t Need To Be. Once You Understand Why You Are. What causes Diabetes? It’s simple. Sugar. Folks it’s like this. You eat sugar all the time and it’s not just white sugar it’s also the white stuff. It’s the flour you eat in the form of bread, cookies or snacks, pasta and cereals and the white potatoes and the white rice. Or how about the juices you drink or the smoothie you have that’s made with fruit. Who were the people that said we need 5 servings of fruit a day along with all that grain? Well I’m here to tell you that you are being set up to become Diabetic. Stop, Stop, Stop the sugar and you stop the Diabetes. Now that sounds simple...doesn’t it? It is and you may have to change your diet and redefine what breakfast is or should become. The same thing with your lunch or dinner. You definitely need to eat 5 to 6 small meals a day. This will help speed up your metabolism. Those people out there and you know who you are, need to eat breakfast everyday. Let me tell you what happens when you don’t eat breakfast. You make your body feel like it’s starving itself and then when you do eat, the body stores everything that you eat as fat and guess what happens next—you gain weight and your insulin requirements go up. That’s right, your body needs more insulin. Now let’s talk about the insulin. Insulin has two purposes. Insulin is a hormone that will bring down your sugar in the body. It will also store your extra sugar as fat. Remember the more fat you gain, the higher the insulin requirements become. It’s August 2012

It’s not the cycle you want to get tied up in. You see when you eat sugar, your body thinks that all this sugar is going to keep coming in. The body doesn’t know that you’re only eating one candy bar. It thinks you’re going to eat the whole box of candy bars. So your body produces more insulin than it needs. Here’s an example: Say you need an ounce of insulin to bring down the sugar of a candy bar, but the body produces 6 ounces of insulin. What is the body going to do with the other 5 ounces? It has to get rid of it, so it uses it to store any amount of food you eat as fat. Then you gain weight and your sugar numbers go up. This same thing happens when you’re injecting yourself with insulin. At this point your doctor tells you to increase your insulin dose each day. What happens then is that you gain even more weight and then you need more insulin etc., etc., etc. For more information, you can refer back to Body Mind Spirit Guide, July 2012 issue, pages 18 - 19, We Suffered Needlessly, Not Knowing Help Was Around the Corner and My Weight, It’s Melting Off and I’m No Longer Diabetic. In order to get yourself off insulin and no longer be diabetic you may need special help to guide you through this process. Many of my patients with nutritional testing and counseling have been able to reverse their diabetes. You can too. We offer herbs that can stop your sugar cravings and help reverse the diabetes. We offer Super Foods that are high in protein and low in sugar. Toxic metals and toxic chemicals may have to be removed to help your organs become healthier, such

as the thyroid and pancreas. Fungus, yeast and parasites can also play a big part in diabetes. I hope this article gets you thinking that you have the power to change your life. Remember the choices you make, not the chances you take, determine your destiny. God Bless, Dr. Michael D. Reggish Dr. Michael D.

My Recent Trip to the Grocery Store Well, there was a bit of confusion at the grocery store this morning. When I was ready to pay for my groceries, the cashier said, “Strip down, facing me.” I gave her a startled look and made a mental note to complain to my congressman about Homeland Security running amok. However, I did just as she had instructed. When the hysterical shrieking and alarms finally subsided, I found out that she was referring to my debit card!! Consequently, I have been asked to shop elsewhere in the future. They need to make their instructions a whole lot clearer for those of us getting up there in age!! 19

Happiness Is Possible Now Accept that you are beautiful and gifted. Living as an example is the greatest way to teach, and the most important thing to teach is Love. You were born to be a living example of God. You were not born to just survive each weekday and gain temporary pleasures on the weekend. Life is not a mystery to be solved but a celebration to be lived. People are not puzzles to analyze but miracles to be enjoyed. Your hands and feet are extensions of Creation. In who you choose to Be, you make the invisible .visible. You are important to the whole. Just as one cell of your body can replicate a whole you, you are a representation of Universal One. You lack nothing. You are not just a piece or part of God. God is everywhere in It’s fullness, and not in just one place. No one person or organization has the ‘in’ on God or ‘owns’ God. Every person on the planet has a responsibility to realize and actualize their divinity and gifts. Your mind is full of stories telling you why you are not beautiful, lovable, or enough. No matter the depth of the details as to ‘why’ you are not good enough, it is ALL lies. You are not powerful enough to change what Creation has made you to be. It is not arrogant to accept your divinity, but humble. You are lovable, loved, and enough right now. Any stories to the contrary have been made up by your mind or ego. Isn’t it time to let them go? You have a choice to make your past your future. You are 20

empowered to co-create a different life. Instead of blaming yourself or others for a problem you may have, ask this empowering question, “What is seeking to emerge from me, from this issue? What quality must I cultivate to become the solution to this problem?” The answer is already within you, it just needs your attention to be noticed. You are focused on the problem, so you can’t see the answer. All problems are just opportunities to awaken to a greater you. “All of life seeks to show you your divinity.” Life is not about a goal, outcome, or solving problems, it is who you are becoming. It is not what you ‘get’ out of life. It is whether you have chosen to benefit from your experiences and become a better version of you. When you approach death, will it be the amount of money you made or goals you accomplished that make you most proud? No. It will be who you have chosen to be in your life. You only ‘get’ what energetically matches you. Express love and compassion and life will match what you give out. This is divine law. Gravity does not choose to work some days and not others. How you feel inside and what you express aligns you with your destiny. Knowing life always

www.BodyMindSpiritGUIDE.com

reflects your inner environment, accepting your innate greatness, and knowing the precious child of Creation you are, becomes a logical choice. Align with your spiritual inheritance through inner acknowledgment. In your willingness to grow, heal, and do your inner work, you are continually becoming the next version of your True Self. You are already whole and complete, AND you are waking up to this Truth. This paradox makes greater sense as you come into spiritual maturity. From your inner evolution of realizing your True Identity as Love, Wisdom, and Magnificence, you experience your life differently. If your life has not changed it is because you have not changed your self-perception. Through the Self-Acceptance Process® you realize you are not the emotion, past, or condition you were holding onto. You have mistaken your identity as the problem, circumstance, or pain. How you feel about yourself is how you experience your environment. You could be in heaven and experience hell. Have you ever been in a beautiful environment and yet felt horrible inside? Happiness is not something you get, but something you realize within. Accept you are worthy and more than enough, right now. You can only give to others what you have within. Give to another something you want. For instance, if you want recognition... recognize someone. If you want compassion, then offer compassion. Do so without attachment to the outcome. In the giving, you realize you always had it. In serving and giving to others you witness and feel that which you have always been. August 2012

You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to give to be loved by God. You are loved no matter what, and you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mess that up. Know that you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t have to do, say, or give anything to Be love or be loved, BUT, it is in the giving of your smile, creativity, gifts, and self, that you have the joy of FEELING CREATION AS YOU! I am immensely grateful to have had the privilege of serving and teaching hundreds of people using the SelfAcceptance ProcessÂŽ. I have seen this simple process change lives, heal suffering, and help the community. I hope to have honor of working with you in a oneon-one session, or during an upcoming retreat. Give yourself full permission to be happy and know who you truly are in God. As you Love yourself, you love the Self within all Beings.

Giving Back When we are called to be a light worker, it is across the whole spectrum of our lives. Light workers are charged with bringing light, love and knowledge to the universe. We are the angel’s helpers; their hands and feet on the physical plane. If it’s appropriate we can choose to stretch out a helping hand to friends and strangers alike. We all have those days when we feel old, Sick, Ugly or Tired. Having a Bad hair day? How about a bad hair month? How wonderful is a stranger’s quick smile or compliment then? It can turn our whole attitude around. Some are experiencing a lack of financial security. Although our worth doesn’t equate to the amount of money in our pockets, it’s hard to remember if we struggle to make car and house payments, buy groceries and pay for life’s little luxuries for ourselves. A simple kindness from an outside source can bring someone back into balance. If you are experiencing financial insecurity, you especially need to give something out to the universe. What you put out you get back, and a dollar in a charity box can work wonders. Offering a smile to a harried clerk or waiting patiently in line during a price check, watching over another person’s child anonymously while a parent is distracted, offering a friendly ear, holding open a door etc., are tiny things which can make a big difference in someone else’s day. When doing this we are literally modeling behavior we want to

see, and thus changing the world. If in offering a friendly greeting we reach across cultural or religious barriers, so much the better. Spending time with a favorite elderly relative or friend and reminiscing are a blessed way to spend time. Our elderly family and friends are our memory keepers. Someone recovering from the loss of a loved one can be helped immensely by sharing a word of encouragement or a favorite memory. Equally important is to remind them that they are loved and still needed here on this planet. Donate what you aren’t using to Good Will or the Salvation Army (two of my favorite places to shop by the way!) Think how much cleaner your house will be! Give old blankets and towels to the Humane Society and other animal shelters, our four-legged companions need help too! Participate in volunteer efforts. Follow your own dreams and show us how it’s done! Encourage. Teach. Inspire. Share. I firmly believe when we put out love we get it back tenfold. I’ve noticed that as I help others, I am given help when I need it. There’s nothing like feeling the wings on your back open as you own your Earth Angel choices. You can imagine their inquiry when you leave a stranger’s side after helping them. “Did I just meet an angel?” Yes—an Earth Angel! And trust me miracles in your life become common place when you are an Earth Angel. It is the greatest gift to be in a place where you can

make a difference in another’s life, and isn’t that one of the most important reasons why we are here, to make a difference? Give back. Your life will be richer in return. For this day I am thankful for all my blessings, chief among them that I may be called upon by my guides and angels to be an Earth Angel and help another entity in some small way and fulfill my mission as a light worker on this beloved plane of existence called life.

Genuis Quotes Albert Einstein (1879-1955) Common sense is the collection of prejudices acquired by age eighteen. Gravitation cannot be held responsible for people falling in love. The difference between genius and stupidity is that genius has its limits. Try not to become a man of success but rather try to become a man of value.

Vote for Organic Our eating has changed more in the past 50 years than in the last 10,000 years. Become an educated consumer. Learn where our food comes from, how much of our food is made from genetically engineered seed, and why organic is healthier and better. Our industrialized food supply started with McDonalds and fast food. McDonalds brought the factory system developed by Ford to the drive-in restaurant to simplify and cut costs. They started by training workers to do only one thing for low wages. McDonalds was able to create uniformity, conformity and cheapness on a large scale, selling inexpensive food. There are other issues that are now known regarding fast food. According to Eric Schlosser, author of Fast Food Nation, corn makes up 30% of all US commercial agriculture. With the current emphasis on mass production of our food supply, corn has become the staple crop. Much of our present industrialized food supply today is made from corn. Food is now engineered from corn so that it does not become rancid or go stale. Almost 90% of all manufactured food contains corn and/or soy in clever rearrangement. Today over 90% of all soybeans and most of the corn used in the food supply are genetically modified. The list of sweeteners that are created from corn include high fructose corn syrup, sorbitol, xylitol, fructose, sweet & low, sucrose, maltodextrin, poly dextrose, inosital, and saccharin. Use real unprocessed sweeteners like raw honey, maple syrup, stevia or raw organic sugar cane instead of man-made corn sweeteners. August 2012

Other common products that contain corn in the form of high fructose corn syrup include Motrin, white vinegar, imitation vanilla extract, Velveeta cheese, disposable diapers, Kingsford charcoal, Tropicana orange juice, Kool-aid, Coke, margarine and many others. Corn is also used to make synthetic vitamins and minerals like ascorbic acid (commonly known as vitamin C), calcium stearate, and alpha tocopherol (known as vitamin E). Genetically modified seed was first created in 1992. Monsanto, one of the biotech giants, has been successful in getting FDA approval to use genetically modified seed. Monsanto owns the patent on Round-up ready genetically modified seed for corn, soy, cotton, and canola. As recent as June 2012 the US Senate voted not to require labeling foods that contain genetically modified seed. The average supermarket sells 47,000 products. Over 70% of all processed supermarket food sold today is made with genetically modified ingredients, which are not labeled. Over 95% of American consumers surveyed would not purchase food containing genetically modified crops if they knew it was modified. Lobbyists have successfully convinced Congress to not support any labeling legislation that would inform consumers. This is the reason why legislation has failed every year that would require labeling genetically modified ingredients. For better health, purchase and eat organic free-range beef, pork and poultry. Free range ensures that the animals and poultry are allowed to roam free to eat their natural diet, and are not given any antibiotics, hormones or drugs. Eat wild caught fish instead of farm-raised fish to avoid consuming antibiotics and

genetically modified corn. Eating organic produce decreases exposure to GMO seed and pesticides, and increases nutritional intake. A study published in the Journal of Applied Nutrition showed that organically grown fruits and vegetables contained about twice the amount of beneficial minerals as those grown by conventional methods. Organic foods taste better and fresher, and are healthier. Support legislators who support labeling our food. The power to change the current food supply is in our hands. Every food item purchased is a vote for that type of food. If the food is not organic or locally grown, then it is commercially produced and related to GMO seed. Eat organically grown fruits and vegetables, which is a vote against non-organic food and the biotech food industry. As consumers we have a right to know what food we are eating and feeding our family. Each organic purchase is a vote against the industrialized food conglomerates. Support organic farms and local farmers. Shop at farmerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s markets and support local farmers who grow and sell organic food. Grow your own organic food when possible, and consume nutritional supplements that are made from organic foods. Together we can create a healthier food supply.

Awe Ever hear that expression of someone who has “dropped to my knees in awe?” Have you ever had this experience? I was not really mindful of what that phrase meant until visiting Israel recently. There was a point where I found myself literally dropping to my knees in the Western Wall Tunnel. There I was, surrounded by stone. Walking on stone, stone to both sides of me and over my head, running my right hand along the cool, stone walls. In the semi-dark, feeling the smooth stone, allowing connection with the energies within, mindfully I walked. Feeling the vibrations from multitudes of other souls on their journeys, touching my spirit, heart and mind. Suddenly, the vibrations where so strong, so high, my knees went weak (yes, another common phrase), and my spirit went soaring. Overwhelmed with awe, my physical body dropped to its knees. Vibrations rising, harmonizing, expanding, connecting to Divine Source, I knew my Self to be All. Connected to All. To be Love. Know that I AM LOVE. Later, I found out this particular spot was alongside the Temple Mount where the ark was said to reside. Most of us reading this article are awaking to the vibrations of the universe we physically and energetically live in. We know that if we are open and accepting, we are able to experience more than just the mundane. That we can be aware, mindful and connected to the universe on an energetic, deeper, level. This 28

can open up the doorway to the awe that is Divine Source. This vibrational feeling is powerful and fuels our own spiritual growth. As we allow this connection with awe, with Divine Source, we enable our own vibration to sing in harmony along with Source/God. The more we connect, experience and practice this harmony, the faster our vibration starts to rise to meet Source/God’s. Like attracts like. We start to live in an awesome way, connecting with our Highest Self, being our Highest Self, and expanding our Highest Self to continuously be in connection with Divine Self, knowing our divinity. Any place you feel safe and allow yourself to be open to the vibrations of the universe is an opportunity for vibrational growth. Meditation is one of the easiest pathways to connecting with Source/God and raising your vibration. People report feeling calm, peaceful, loved, refreshed and energized after meditating. I believe this is due to connection with the highest vibration of Source/God; merging with and matching the vibration of Divinity. Touching and matching the vibration of Awe is going to leave an energetic mark and affect our vibration on an individual and global scale, leading us to transcendence and enlightenment in the now. Being in nature often calls one to connect with Divine Source/God, and connect with the vibration of awe. Notice the uplifting feeling most of us receive while out in the woods. Away from the man-made world, we more easily touch divinity, nature’s vibrational quality. Being mindful, we

www.BodyMindSpiritGUIDE.com

are able to open our hearts more easily in the natural, non-egoistic world of nature, and touch upon, connect with, Divine Source/God. When allowing ourselves to expand and know that we too are Divine Love and connected with All, we feel a sense of awe with this connection. The more we mindfully allow ourselves to connect with Divine Source, the more awe we feel and the more natural it becomes. This becomes our new habit and, over time, we become consistently connected and mindful of our own awesomeness. As our maintenance with our connection with Divine Source/God becomes more consistent, our vibration rises, we feel more awe, more easily. This is our guidepost that we are on the right path towards spiritual growth and being the Divine Love that we are. Miche’ Lame Miche is the owner of Spiritual Living.

Creation A little girl asked her mother, “How did the human race appear?” The mother answered, “God made Adam and Eve and they had children and so was all mankind made.” Two days later the girl asked her father the same question. The father answered, “Many years ago there were monkeys from which the human race evolved.” The confused girl returned to her mother and said, “Mom, how is it possible that you told me the human race was created by God, and Dad said they developed from monkeys?” The mother answered, “Well, dear, it is very simple: I told you about my side of the family and your father told you about his.”

This is a story about four people: Everybody, Somebody, Anybody and Nobody. There was an important job to be done and Everybody was sure that Somebody would do it. Anybody could have done it but Nobody did it. Somebody got angry about that, because it was Everybody’s job. Everybody thought Anybody could do it but Nobody realized that Everybody wouldn’t do it. It ended up Everybody blamed Somebody when Nobody did what Anybody had to do. August 2012

Bend When Things Are Tough, Don’t Break One of my fondest memories as a child is going by the river and sitting idly on the bank. There I would enjoy the peace and quiet, watch the water rush downstream, and listen to the chirps of birds and the rustling of leaves in the trees. I would also watch the trees bend under pressure from the wind and watch them return gracefully to their upright or original position after the wind had died down. When I think about the tree’s ability to bounce back or return to it’s original position, the word resilience comes to mind. When used in reference to a person this word means the ability to readily recover from shock, depression or any other situation that stretches the limits of a person’s emotions. Have you ever felt like you are about to snap? Have you ever felt like you are at your breaking point? Thankfully, you have survived the experience to live to talk about it. During the experience you probably felt a mix of emotions that threatened your health. You felt emotionally drained, mentally exhausted and you most likely endured unpleasant physical symptoms.

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

248-825-3534

www.healingenergyforyou.com jules@healingenergyforyou.com “Our emotions and thoughts are always accompanied by biochemical reactions in our bodies. 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.

Life is a mixture of good times and bad times, happy moments and unhappy moments. The next time you are experiencing one of those bad times or unhappy moments that take you close to your breaking point, bend but don’t break. Try your best not to let the situation get the best of you. A measure of hope will take you through the unpleasant ordeal. With hope for a better tomorrow or a better situation, things may not be as bad as they seem to be. The unpleasant ordeal may be easier to deal with if the end result is worth having. If the going gets tough and you are at your breaking point, show resilience. Like the tree, bend, but don’t break!

God won’t ask what kind of car you drove, but will ask how many people you drove who didn’t have transportation. God won’t ask the square footage of your house, but will ask how many people you welcomed into your home. God won’t ask about the fancy clothes you had in your closet, but will ask how many of those clothes helped the needy. God won’t ask about your social status, but will ask what kind of class you displayed. God won’t ask how many material possessions you had, but will ask if they dictated your life. God won’t ask what your highest salary was, but will ask if you compromised your character to obtain that salary. God won’t ask how much overtime you worked, but will ask if you worked overtime for your family and loved ones. God won’t ask how many promotions you received, but will ask how you promoted others. God won’t ask what your job title was, but will ask if you reformed your job to the best of your ability. God won’t ask what you did to help yourself, but will ask what you did to help others. God won’t ask how many friends you had, but will ask how many people to whom you were a true friend. God won’t ask what you did to protect your rights, but will ask what you did to protect the rights of others. God won’t ask in what neighborhood you lived, but will ask how you treated your neighbors. God won’t ask about the color of your skin, but will ask about the content of your character. God won’t ask how many times your deeds matched your words, but will ask how many times they didn’t.

As Developed and Conveyed by Dr. Antonio Sieira Mindfulness is a level of consciousness that helps us return to the present moment. Our minds are in a constant state of thought involving the past and anticipating the future. We have thousands of such thoughts throughout the day with over 90% of them being repetitious! Such ruminations have been shown to lead to anxiety, stress and general feelings of unhappiness. The practice of mindfulness meditation helps us to be present in the moment, and within “ourselves.”

The Legend of Chinese Astrology Chinese astrologers were not greatly influenced by astrologers outside China, so Chinese astrology developed a l o n g v a s t l y d i f f e r e n t p a t h s f r o m Western astrology. Chinese astrology dates back to around 2800 BCE, considerably later than west. Similar to the Vedic astrologers, Chinese astrology divides the heavens into 28 mansions, based on the phases of the Moon. Chinese astrology is Moon based, unlike most other astrological practices which are based on the Sun. In addition to the 12 animals of the Chinese zodiac, the Chinese have five elements instead of four used by Western astrologers—Wood, Fire, Earth, Metal and Water. The Yin and the Yang are an integral part of Chinese astrology as is Feng Shui.. The Chinese Zodiac has twelve signs each named for an animal—Rat, Ox, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Ram, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig. To date no documentation has been uncovered to explain how these animals came to be chosen, but the following legend explains it all! Long ago in a land far away, Jade Emperor decided to hold a swimming race in order to select the animals for the signs of the zodiac. Cat and Rat were the worst swimmers in the race so they decided to cross the river on the back of Ox who agreed to carry them to the other side. Just as they arrived at the distant shore, Rat pushed Cat into the water, which allowed him to gain first place in the zodiac; Ox was right behind him and won second place leaving Cat in the water. The third animal to reach the other side of the river was Tiger who explained to Jade Emperor that heavy currents had caused his delay, but since he was so powerful he was able to reach the other side in third place. Now just as Tiger arrived, Jade Emperor heard a great thumping sound and soon after, Rabbit appeared to say he had tried jumping across the river from stone to stone but suddenly the stones disappeared; but then a log appeared as he reached the half-way point. He climbed on the log made it across the river giving him the fourth place in the zodiac. The fifth animal to reach the shore was Dragon. Although Dragon was very, very strong and could also fly, he didn’t come in first because stopped along the way to help the creatures on earth by making it rain. Then, when he was half-way across the river, 38

he spotted Rabbit hanging onto the log, so he took a deep dragon breath and blew him across the river. Jade Emperor was so very pleased with his good deeds and he gave him the fifth place in the zodiac. Then Jade Emperor heard a loud galloping sound and Horse suddenly appeared on the shore. It seems that Snake hid himself on the hoof of Horse, so he reached the shore at the same time. Horse was so frightened when he suddenly saw Snake slither off his hoof, the he shied away and Snake made it to shore before him, capturing sixth place, while Horse was only seventh. A while later Ram, Monkey and Rooster arrived at the shore together and let Jade Emperor know that they helped each other to cross the river. It seems Rooster found a raft and invited Monkey and Ram to join him to get to the other side and when they arrived, Ram and Monkey pulled the raft to shore. Jade Emperor was so delighted with their joint effort that he gave Ram eighth place, Monkey became ninth animal of the zodiac and Rooster became tenth. Now Dog was the best swimmer of all, but he told Jade Emperor that he was so dirty and the water was so fresh and clean that he decided to take a bath and that is why he was so late. Jade Emperor made him number eleven and decided to close the competition. Just then Pig arrived squealing and yelping from the water. Pig explained to Jade Emperor that he was so hungry that he stopped along the way to have a large meal; he ate so much he needed to take a nap and so he was late. Since he arrived before Jade Emperor closed the competition, he was lucky enough to get the twelfth and final place in the zodiac. But Cat was still in the river and arrived too late to secure a spot in the zodiac. This explains why cats hate water and Cat has hated Rat for all eternity. So that is how these animals became the twelve signs of the Chinese Zodiac! lizjelinek@comcast.net www.lizjelinek.com

Attitudes

You have heard of the cup that overflowed. This is a story of a bucket that is like the cup, only larger, it is an invisible bucket. Everyone has one. It determines how we feel about ourselves, about others, and how we get along with people. Have you ever experienced a series of very favorable things which made you want to be good to people for a week? At that time, your bucket was full. A bucket can be filled by a lot of things that happen. When a person speaks to you, recognizing you as a human being, your bucket is filled a little. Even more if he calls you by name, especially if it is the name you like to be called. If he compliments you on your dress or on a job well done, the level in your bucket goes up still higher. There must be a million ways to raise the level in another’s bucket. Writing a friendly letter, remembering something that is special to him, knowing the names of his children,

expressing sympathy for his loss, giving him a hand when his work is heavy, taking time for conversation, or, perhaps more important, listing to him. When one’s bucket is full of this emotional support, one can express warmth and friendliness to people. But, remember, this is a theory about a bucket and a dipper. Other people have dippers and they can get their dippers in your bucket. This, too, can be done in a million ways. Lets say I am at a dinner and inadvertently upset a glass of thick, sticky chocolate milk that spills over the table cloth, on a lady’s skirt, down onto the carpet. I am embarrassed. “Bright Eyes” across the table says, “You upset that glass of chocolate milk.” I made a mistake, I know I did, and then he told me about it! He got his dipper in my bucket! Think of the times a person makes a mistake, feels terrible about it, only to have someone tell him about the known mistake (“Red pencil” mentality!) Buckets are filled and buckets are emptied? Emptied many times because people don’t really think about what are doing. When a person’s bucket is emptied, he is very different than when it is full. You say to a person whose bucket

is empty, “That is a pretty tie you have,” and he may reply in a very irritated, defensive manner. Although there is a limit to such an analogy, there are people who seem to have holes in their buckets. When a person has a hole in his bucket, he irritates lots of people by trying to get his dipper in their buckets. This is when he really needs somebody to pour it in his bucket because he keeps losing. The story of our lives is the interplay of the bucket and the dipper. Everyone has both. The unyielding secret of the bucket and the dipper is that when you fill another’s bucket it does not take anything out of your own bucket. The level in our own bucket gets higher when we fill another’s, and, on the other hand, when we dip into another’s bucket we do not fill our own ... we lose a little. For a variety of reasons, people hesitate filling the bucket of another and consequently do not experience the fun, joy, happiness, fulfillment, and satisfaction connected with making another person happy. Some reasons for this hesitancy are that people think it sounds “fakey,” or the other person will be suspicious of the motive, or it is “brownnosing.” Therefore, let us put aside our dipper and resolve to touch someone’s life in order to fill their bucket!

Achieve Foot and Leg Pain Relief with Massage Plantar fasciitis, aching feet, periostitis shin splints are all very common complaints. Athletes, people recovering improperly from injury, being overweight, over use and under use all contribute to these conditions. The truth is most people will experience tired legs at some stage in their life. Tired legs can turn into plantar fasciitis if left untreated. Chronic plantar fasciitis can cause painful bone spurs and is surprisingly common. The body is capable of reabsorbing bone spurs and massage is the preventative medicine. Periostitis also known as shin splints if left untreated will cause structural misalignment that can show up as twists and pulls, anywhere and everywhere in the muscle skeletal system, throughout the body. All of these conditions are treatable and taken care of through routine clinical massage. Tendinitis is such a pain, and takes an eternity to heal if left untreated. The care may seem a little worse than the complaint at first, but this is temporary as specific pressure is applied across the fibers; this attracts blood flow to the area. I am taking care of a client’s tendonitis, scoliosis, upper cross

body twist, separated shoulder, and a very pronounced leg rotation, the result of untreated Periostitis. The fix for this is easy and very enjoyable. Regular deep tissue leg massage for this condition is an amazing experience. It provides long lasting health benefits, however done poorly can result in a painful experience. Proper treatment through the correct massage techniques provides long term lasting effects. So you could say that sore feet and tired legs is something to complain about, but why bother complaining when treatment is so cheap and the physical benefits will reverberate into every aspect of everyday living. The connection between our emotions and our physical bodies is well documented. Louise L. Hay’s book “You can Heal Your Life” is an excellent resource on tracking emotional energy through our bodies. In her book she points toward a significant example for foot complaints. She states it is directly attributed to the emotional energy of not understanding ourselves, our lives or others. The soul, emotions, body and mental connection is the one that most people have trouble with, but it’s where the root lies. The healing attitude necessary to address physical complaints such as foot pain holistically is an attitude

of “I can change easily with the times, my understanding is clear, I am safe moving forward”. At the Balance Holistic and Clinical Massage Therapy, classes on Reiki, energy medicine, thought or attitude therapy, brainwave entrainment, and more, are extensions of our holistic approach. These are companion classes that we run in support of our self/partner care massage classes. We feel these classes are an essential ingredient in a don’t survive, thrive lifestyle. Massage is a great way to stay active. You can be as creative as you like, but proper body mechanics and good techniques not only make a great work out for both giver and receiver. Making a lifestyle choice for regular massage is a gift that keeps on giving for your physical, emotional and mental you. Come and learn this for yourself.

Death and dying... Last Wishes & What to Remember This was written by a hospice care nurse. It’s worth a read to see what he has observed as the most common regrets of those who are facing their last days. For many years I worked in hospice care. My patients were those who had gone home to die. Some incredibly special times were shared. I was with them for the last three to twelve weeks of their lives. People grow a lot when they are faced with their own mortality. I learned never to underestimate someone’s capacity for growth. Some changes were phenomenal. Each experienced a variety of emotions, as expected, denial, fear, anger, remorse, more denial and eventually acceptance. Every single patient found their peace before they departed though, every one of them. When questioned about any regrets they had or anything they would do differently, common themes surfaced again and again. Here are the most common five: 1. I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me. This was the most common regret of all. When people realize that their life is almost over and look back clearly on it, it is easy to see how many dreams have gone unfulfilled. Most people have not honored even a half of their dreams and had to die knowing that it was due to choices they had made, or not made. It is very important to try and honor at least some of your dreams along the way. From the moment that you lose your health, it is too late. Health brings a freedom very few realize, until they no longer have it. August 2012

2. I wish I didn’t work so hard. This came from every male patient that I nursed. They missed their children’s youth and their partner’s companionship. Women also spoke of this regret. But as most were from an older generation, many of the female patients had not been breadwinners. All of the men I nursed deeply regretted spending so much of their lives on the treadmill of a work existence. By simplifying your lifestyle and making conscious choices along the way, it is possible to not need the income that you think you do. And by creating more space in your life, you become happier and more open to new opportunities, ones more suited to your new lifestyle. 3. I wish I’d had the courage to express my feelings. Many people suppressed their feelings in order to keep peace with others. As a result, they settled for a mediocre existence and never became who they were truly capable of becoming. Many developed illnesses relating to the bitterness and resentment they carried as a result. We cannot control the reactions of others. However, although people may initially react when you change the way you are by speaking honestly, in the end it raises the relationship to a whole new and healthier level. Either that or it releases the unhealthy relationship from your life. Either way, you win. 4. I wish I had stayed in touch with my friends Often they would not truly realize the full benefits of old friends until their dying weeks and it was not always possible to track them down. Many had become so caught up in their own lives that they had let golden friendships slip by over the years. There were many deep regrets about not giving friendships the time and effort that they deserved. Everyone misses

www.BodyMindSpiritRADIO.com

their friends when they are dying. It is common for anyone in a busy lifestyle to let friendships slip. But when you are faced with your approaching death, the physical details of life fall away. People do want to get their financial affairs in order if possible. But it is not money or status that holds the true importance for them. They want to get things in order more for the benefit of those they love. Usually though, they are too ill and weary to ever manage this task. It all comes down to love and relationships in the end. That is all that remains in the final weeks, love and relationships. 5. I wish that I had let myself be happier. This is a surprisingly common one. Many did not realize until the end that happiness is a choice. They had stayed stuck in old patterns and habits. The so-called ‘comfort’ of familiarity overflowed into their emotions, as well as their physical lives. Fear of change had them pretending to others, and to their selves, that they were content. When deep within, they longed to laugh properly and have silliness in their life again. When you are on your deathbed, what others think of you is a long way from your mind. How wonderful to be able to let go and smile again, long before you are dying. Life is a choice. It is YOUR life. Choose consciously, choose wisely, and choose honestly. Choose happiness. Based on this article, Bronnie has now released a full length book titled The Top Five Regrets of the Dying - A Life Transformed by the Dearly Departing. It is a memoir of her own life and how it was transformed through the regrets of the dying people she cared for. This inspiring book is available internationally through Hay House. 41

Spiritual Horoscopes Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22) -- Happy birthday Leo! In order to be truly joyous in the present moment, meditate to release disappointments and expectations. You’ll clear out old mindsets from your subconscious. In that way, you’ll attract what makes you happy today, right now! Forgiving the past also heals karma so you don’t have to repeat yucky patterns. Do this inner work and look for big improvements with relationships and money! Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22) – Mercury has moved direct, so ask for guidance before bed and during meditation. Your soul really wants to give you information to help solve important issues – but you need to ask, and then make space in your mind for new ideas. It’s great if you have spiritually minded friends who you can meditate with, or who could help you interpret you dreams. Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22) – You’ll feel reinvigorated about friendships and activities. During last month’s Mercury retrograde, you might have been more inward and contemplative – but now it’s time for fun! You could also be getting a raise at work – or even meet a new love interest related to your job. Focusing on gratitude helps a current relationship seem even better – and helps your finances look even more abundant! Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) – You could be starting a new job, or having new duties at your current one. This could be a small beginning, but hang in there, because 42

superiors are watching you and bigger blessings will come in 3-4 months as they see your talents. Strive for renewal in your spiritual life. Meditate in a new way, or in a different place. You could try a yoga or tai chi class. Maybe go to that new church or Buddhist temple you’ve been wanting to check out. Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) – As a Sag, it’s tempting to get to know lots of people on a surface level. Challenge yourself to get closer to someone by opening up about your spiritual life. Maybe you can start meditating with a friend. If you’re in a relationship, you could explore Tantra (spiritual sexuality). It’s even a beginning to spend time with people in your yoga class. You’ll be developing the Sagittarian side of yourself that is interested in devotion and depth. Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) – You could be starting a new relationship! It’s important to meditate to be able to forgive and release negative experiences from the past. These experiences have created belief systems that hold you back from having the best romantic situations today. Clearing your heart will attract healthy people, and help you be open and trusting of them! If partnered, see him/her with new eyes. Let go of “history” and appreciate them in the present moment! Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) – It’s scary for you to be in love – or even to be in a business partnership! Merging with someone else means moving into the unknown, and Aquarians are anxious when they don’t know stuff! Adopt what Zen

www.BodyMindSpiritGUIDE.com

followers call “beginner’s mind.” Release fear and control. Allow your heart to be open to learn from the other person – and learn from the experience of bonding and blending. Stay calm and keep breathing! Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20) – Miscommunication or differences of opinion in relationships will clear up this month. More depth and trust will occur as you realize you are truly loved! If single, you could meet someone new. You’ll feel the Universe is really listening and has finally sent the kind of person you’ve been asking for! Enjoy being happy – don’t overanalyze (or self-criticize) and complicate your blissful state! Aries (March 21 – April 19) – Observe if any miscommunication you’ve had during July’s Mercury retrograde had to do with old familyof-origin triggers. Negative patterns from your upbringing could be affecting your relationship. Meditate and look at ways you are defensive. You’re probably being needlessly strong and pushing your loved one away. If single, forgive yourself for ways you let patterns harm past relationships, and be open to new communication in the future! Taurus (April 20 – May 20) – Focus on using gentle and loving affirmations towards yourself and others. This will create more harmony in your household. It may sound silly, but you’ll also have better digestion and could even lose weight from these positive messages. Your body will be in a state of harmony and will function without stress. You could even overcome food cravings that seem addictive or destructive. Make time to clear out clutter in your home for added emotional and physical peace! August 2012

Gemini (May 21 – June 20) – It’s a great time to ask for help about organizing your finances. Make sure your checkbook is balanced. Find a budget that is comfortable. Make payment plans for loans or credit cards. You might also get a raise at work, or even some type of windfall. You’ll also feel richer from just facing your finances and seeing you do have plenty. It’s a relief to not hide from the truth, because the truth isn’t so bad! Cancer (June 21 – July 22) – Venus is the planet of love and money, and it is in your sign this month. You might start a new relationship or have improvements in your current one. You could receive financial blessings. But the biggest gift is feeling self-love and selfappreciation! Meditate on your good points, and stop beating yourself up! Let go of impossible standards and ask the Universe to release you from worry. Relax and be happy!

The Shower Staying focused and balance is a personal achievement that many may struggle with. Knowing how to remain in each moment can be valuable when presented with Life’s challenges. With busy schedules, sometimes the only moment you may have to be totally alone is in the shower. Instead of worrying about the day’s activities, spend this time reconnecting with the Universal energy that is within you. The following is a technique I practice daily: Close your eyes and imagine the shower water is really a beautiful, glowing white light that is flowing from a perfect place of Love; warm, safe and covering you with protection. As you begin to wash your hair, you imagine all the energy that is not of Love is being cleared of your aura, sent back through earth so it can be recycled with love. While washing your face, cleanse yourself of any negative thought or energy that you projected. Remember that you are in this moment now, reconnecting with the Universe in your most vulnerable and perfect state of being. Imagine now the conditioner going thru each strand of hair as if it were a sparkling cord that runs from the Universe, through your body, and into the center of the earth. Take a moment to feel this connection strengthen and build and sparkling even brighter, reminding you that you are one with the universe and

Earth. Reinforce this connection while washing your body, starting at the feet, asking Earth to replenish any elemental energy you may be missing, and keeping you grounded and centered throughout your day. While washing your legs, ask the energy of the “magical” elements of the Universe to remind you to acknowledge your inner child and see the miracles of everyday life. In the hip area, call back your personal power that you have passed onto others. While washing your abdomen, think of your Spirit Guides and ask them to help you stay focused. Acknowledge your personal Angels and Ascended Masters as you continue to wash your shell that keeps you on Earth. Finally, while rinsing, give absolute appreciation to God, to the Universe, to Earth, and to yourself for allowing the time you have (feels incomplete here). Finish with a prayer or mantra that extends this connection. Thank yourself and the Universe for taking this time to remember to stay in the present moment, use this feeling any time to get back to this place of “Oneness”. I composed this technique from the many different authors that have influenced my Spiritual development. In my own life, practicing this daily for the past year has helped me gain inner confidence, find inner peace, lose 70 pounds and be content in everyday life. This feeling of sanctity is an amazing experience that I want to share with everyone.

THE GOLDEN RULE The Golden Rule, or the ethic of reciprocity, can be found in the scriptures of nearly every religion. It is often regarded as the most concise and general principle of ethics. It is a condensation in one principle from a longer lists of rules, or guidelines, such as the Ten Commandments. “Love your neighbor as yourself.” Judaism and Christianity. Bible, Leviticus 19.18 “Whatever you wish that men do to you, do so to them.” Christianity. Bible, Matthew 7.12 “Not one of you is a believer until he loves for his brother what he loves for himself.” Islam. Forty Hadith of an-Nawawi 13 “A man should wander about treating all creatures as he himself would like to be treated.” Jainism. Sutrakritanga 1.11.33 “Try your best to treat others as you would wish to be treated, and you will find that this is the shortest way to benevolence.” Confucianism. Mencius VII. A.4 “One should not behave towards others in a way which is disagreeable to oneself. This is the essence of morality. All other activities are due to selfish desire.” Hinduism. Mahabharata, Anusasana Parva 113.8 Tsekung asked, “Is there one word that can serve as a principle of conduct for life?” Confucius replied, “It is the word shu--reciprocity: Do not do to others what you do not want them to do to you.” Confucianism. Analects 15.23 “Comparing oneself to others in such terms as ‘Just as I am so are they, just as they are so am I’, he should neither kill nor cause others to kill.” Buddhism. Sutta Nipata 705

ingenuous and leads his life after comprehending the parity of the killed and the killer. Therefore, neither does he cause violence to others nor does he make others do so.” Jainism. Acarangasutra 5.101-2 The Ariyan disciple thus reflects, ‘Here am I, fond of my life, not wanting to die, fond of pleasure and averse from pain. Suppose someone should rob me of my life ... it would not be a thing pleasing and delightful to me. If I, in my turn, should rob of his life one fond of his life, not wanting to die, one fond of pleasure and averse from pain, it would not be a thing pleasing or delightful to him. For a state that is not pleasant or delightful to me must also be to him also; and a state that is not pleasing or delightful to me, how could I inflict that upon another?’ “As a result of such reflection he himself abstains from taking the life of creatures and he encourages others so to abstain, and speaks in praise of so abstaining.” Buddhism. Samyutta Nikaya v.353 A certain heathen came to Shammai and said to him, “Make me a believer, a disciple, on condition that you teach me the whole Torah while I stand on one foot.” Thereupon he repulsed him with the rod which was in his hand. When he went to Hillel, he said to him, “What is hateful to you, do not do to your neighbor: that is the whole Torah; all the rest of it is commentary; go and learn.” Judaism. Talmud, Shabbat 31a “Teacher, which is the great commandment in the law?” Jesus said to him, “You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind. This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it, “You shall love your neighbor as yourself. On these two commandments depend all the law and the prophets.” Christianity. Bible, Matthew 22.36-40

“One going to take a pointed stick to pinch a baby bird should first try it on himself to feel how it hurts.” African Traditional Religions.

Mind Body BowenTherapy

ing what you feel in your body is the beginning of the healing process.

Discover what is ailing you and begin healing

BowenWork Therapy is a holistic and non-invasive approach to alleviating acute pain, chronic pain and psychosomatic illnesses: it stimulates deep relaxation allowing the body to self-heal. It initiates powerful detoxification, lymph drainage, improves circulation and much more.

“The body remembers what the mind forgets.” J. L. Moreno The human body has its own language of sensations. Listening to and observing bodily sensations is a key to understanding our own story and is essential to healing and well being. Our emotional, physical, environmental and spiritual history is recorded and stored in our memory at a cellular level in our body. Through touch we can evoke more than physical sensations - - we can bring memories, feelings, fleeting images, and more to the surface. Life is all about energy. Thoughts, feelings, pain and pleasure are all manifestations of energy moving through our bodies. Sometimes negative energies become trapped in the body and accumulate over time ultimately manifesting on a physical level in the form of pain, disease or dysfunction. Pain is an important sensation in the tissue that communicates to the brain that the body is under distress and needs assistance. Only when this physical and emotional stress is released can a state of well being, relaxation and equilibrium be restored. According to Ian White in his book Psychosomatics, “We may focus on a mind related cause of physical distress as described in the principles of psychosomatic medicine, but rarely do we acknowledge that our depression, our stress, our anxieties live in the body.” Repressed emotions cause muscular tensions, and if not released can become chronic and even permanent. The gentle touch of Bowen therapy releases the repressed memory of body aches and pains. The gentle awareness of body sensations is encouraged by the practitioner. The body’s response to the touch may be very strong or faint. These sensations as a result of restrictions and blockages generally indicate an area which has been traumatized in some fashion. Having awareness of the sensations and observing them induces the healing process. All this is accomplished through the innate intelligence of the body at the appropriate time and place, and cannot be forced. An individual can generally connect the sensations felt in the body with some physical injury, emotional trauma, birth or any fearful situations embedded in the subconscious mind. Trust that as the energy pathways in the body are cleared of obstructions and trapped emotions, the pain, disease and dysfunction will subside. The Bowen touch brings out what is hidden and provides great relief from long held chronic pain and stress. Bowen Therapy accesses the body-mind as a single unit for deep understanding and healing of the Mind, Body and Spirit. AcceptAugust 2012

Our bodies tell the stories of our traumas, even if there are no specific memories. However, the body has the inherent ability to reverse the disease state and restore itself to its original design and healthful state of being. Once the healing process is initiated with Bowenwork the mind- body connection brings it to completion. As soon as we tune into how we feel with our higher consciousness, a shift begins to happen. “Clients receive the added gifts of increased body awareness, a stronger connection to self, a shift in deep-seated patterns, a more regulated nervous system, and a sense of mastery.” Peter Levine, Walking the Tiger BowenWork Therapy can help relieve many painful and distressful conditions and allow you to get in touch with your inner self. The mind-body connection makes Bowenwork an extraordinary healing modality. In most cases, it relieves 85% of all body complaints in 3 to 5 sessions. The opportunity to be rid of knee, neck, lower back, shoulder, sciatic pain and the list goes on – is only one call away! The only thing you have to lose is unwanted pain and gloom.

that helps you attune to spirit and enhance your self awareness. It may be helpful if you unknowingly have been resistant to letting go of an attitude or behavior that you need to change for your highest good. It gives you the courage to live the life you’ve always dreamed of, and works within all chakras to help raise your physical vibration.

Enhancing your Spiritual Work with Epidote Epidote, also known as Pistacite, is a stone that is known to effect different people in different ways. Epidote is an aluminum iron silicate mineral and is also a relatively hard stone (6.5-7 on the Mohs scale). Its color can vary depending on the iron concentration. It can be deep green, brown or almost black, and possess a glassy or fibrous appearance. Epidote often takes part in the composition of unakite and other types of feldspar, and clear quartz. Large amounts of it can be found in Mexico, Brazil, USA, Australia, China and Mozambique. This stone works with Gemini and Libra effectively. Epidote enhances the energy of whatever it touches, including people and other stones. An element of earth and water, epidote is known for its power to embrace positive patterns and attract the goodness of the elements that it emanates. It brings relief to emotional and behavioral stresses by striking against negativity and reflecting its positive and enlightening energy. It sets our personal demands and standards higher, aligning with the divine plan. It makes us realize and appreciate what we already have and helps us put it to good use. It is helpful for those stuck in depression, hopelessness, or other negative thinking patterns. In overcoming negativity, epidote makes the unbearable bearable and the truth visible. It powerfully enhances specific outcomes, such as abundance and prosperity, and works in alignment with our natural abilities. Of all its spiritual feats, it enhances perception and personal power, strengthens the positive influences in one’s life, and removes August 2012

all resistance in achieving spiritual enhancement. In any situation, it keeps one focused on their divine purpose and acceptance of one’s attributes. On a physical level, Epidote increases energy and strengthens the body’s ability to assimilate nutrients. It stimulates the immune system, aids in the healing process, and empowers our defense against environmental free radicals. The stone stimulates liver function and aids in the digestive process. It helps overcome the physical weakness from flu and assists the adrenal glands, thyroid and the brain. It helps you become aware of when you need to rest or take care of your diet. If you feel resentment or rejection by others and have embodied these feelings by putting on weight, this stone helps you release both the feelings and the weight. Epidote helps you feel lighter, freer. Epidote increases personal power, clears the emotional body aura, and increases memory. Crystal healers like to work with Epidote for its ability to clear dense congestion and energy blockages in the physical and energetic bodies, which stabilizes the energy flow and helps dissipate tumors. Epidote is a strong purifier for the astral body and auras. This stone has a strong vibration

You may prefer to use it for a few minutes a day in meditation. At that time, ask for guidance on how you might manage what comes to your attention. During meditation, it can be programmed to help you experience a range of positive effects. Before starting your programming, please ensure that it is thoroughly cleansed under running water, then set it outside in the sunlight and ask for white light to remove any negativity within it. To program it, hold the crystal in your hand and think about the positive aspects that you would like to come into your life. You may continue to hold these thoughts for a few minutes until you intuitively feel the programming technique is complete. This enables the stone to bring through a higher level of abundance and prosperity and allows you to release any negative aspects that you may have concerns about. Carol Clarke is an USUI Reiki Master and Melody certified TAOMCHI Master Crystologist in Plymouth, MI. She has been working with crystals and minerals for many years and loves sharing her knowledge about them. She offers many different types of crystal healing techniques.
