Monastic Disciple of Yogananda to Present Free Public Talk Freedom has been sought since the beginning of time, but truly lasting and unhindered freedom is achievable only through connection with the Divine, when –– as Paramahansa Yogananda, author of the spiritual classic Autobiography of a Yogi, taught –– soul and Spirit commune. Brother Jayananda, a long-time monk of Self-Realization Fellowship (SRF)—founded in 1920 by Sri Yogananda—will address this process of spiritual communing in a talk entitled “Meditation: The Journey to Spiritual Freedom.” This free public lecture will be held at the Auburn Hills Marriott Pontiac at Centerpoint (3600 Centerpoint Parkway, Pontiac), on Friday, May 24 at 7:30 p.m. The lecture, which will include a guided meditation, is scheduled as part of a weekend-long event hosted by SRF. The evening will focus on the teachings of Sri Yogananda. Regarded as the father of Yoga in the West, Yogananda was one of the first spiritual teachers from India to introduce Westerners to the practice of yoga meditation. Through his books and writings, he has inspired millions all over the world. More information about the public talk is available by visiting www.detroitmeditationcenter.org, or contacting the Detroit Meditation Center of SRF at (248) 855-4182or detmed@gmail. comTo learn more about SRF and the teachings of Paramahansa Yogananda, visit yogananda-srf.org.

ASK YOUR ANGELS AND GUIDES

Our spirit Guides and Angels are around us all the time, and are there to help us whenever they can. The only thing necessary for us to receive their help is that we have to ask for it, since they cannot interfere with our free will. Unity Churches provide a positive, practical, approach to Christianity based on the teachings of Jesus and the power of prayer. We honor universal truths in all religions and respect each person’s spiritual path.

Practical, spiritual teachings that empower abundant & meaningful living ● Excellent Youth Services ● Space for Rent ● Classes and Workshops ● Weddings ● Christening ● Memorial Services ● Spiritual Baptism

In the middle of the night when you wake up with that nagging question that you can’t seem to figure out…ask your Angels and Guides for advice. When you need to make a phone call but are afraid you won’t know what to say or how to say it…ask your Angels and Guides to help you. When you want to pick out the perfect gift for someone, when you’ve misplaced something, when you want to plant a garden but you’ve never done it before, when you want to read a book but there are so many that you don’t know which one to choose, or you want to write a story but don’t know what to write about…..ask your Angels and Guides to guide you. It doesn’t matter how big or small the situation seems, ask for help and you’ll be amazed at how quickly you receive a response. The key, however, is to become open and receptive to guidance. Learn to listen, look, sense or feel for the answer. An idea will come to you, or a song will start playing on the radio with the words you need to hear. You might see an ad in a magazine or a friend will call you on the phone and say something that will trigger an answer for you. You might feel a gentle nudge to look in a drawer or a closet where something you misplaced will be found. It’s so much fun to ask for help and then go out into your day with the anticipation that the answer will come, sometimes when or where you least expect it. That’s why you have to remain open and alert so that you will recognize the guidance when it comes. When I sat down to write this article, ideas and inspiration began flowing just a few minutes after asking my Angels and Guides for help. Being open and receptive keeps the energy flowing from one realm to another, more freely and effortlessly. Just remember, you have to ASK. Love and Light, Marilyn G.

Essential Oils and the Body-Mind Connection

their frequencies vary from 52320 MHz (Rose oil- 320MHz).

We all have favorite essential oils. I love rose oil, with its beautiful, intoxicating aroma. It is indeed the most luxurious perfume of all times. I also like Valor and Frankincense; they are so uplifting (Valor has Frankincense in it). No wonder why the ancients choose Frankincense to be the Holy Anointing oil! We love the pleasant smell in an oil, yet sometimes don’t even care to know what or how this happens or why it makes us feel happy! Here is a little bit of what has been found so far. Some refer to essential oils as, “Vehicles of Living Energy.” Why? First, to understand this, we need to remember that a compound made in a lab may have the same chemical formula as one produced in nature, but it is NOT the same and does not have the same effect on your body and mind. What scientists concluded is that the chemical ring-structures of an essential oil could no longer be thought of as an expression of matter measured by discrete sizes, dimensions and masses. This is because they are actually waveforms to be measured by frequencies and amplitudes. In other words, the compounds of essential oils are not just molecules of matter, they are energetic waveforms. Thus, essential oils can manifest either as particles of matter (chemistry) or as waves of energy (physics) or both. They belong to the quantum physics (Q.P.) realm. Q. P. deals with things too small to experience or measure with our five senses -- things with smaller dimensions than an atom. Essential oils have very high energy: May 2013

Before we apply the concepts of quantum physics to essential oils, let us mention some other related research concerning the interaction of mind and matter. Let’s consider essential oils as “living energy” and consider how human intent and the decisions we make can determine the action of an oil. We know that the human mind can affect the electromagnetic frequencies of essential oils. Prayer and positive thinking elevates the frequencies while negative thoughts will decrease the frequencies. In the 1950’s, Franklin Loehr, an American scientist, explored the effect of prayer and human thought on water (The Power of Prayer on Plants, Franklin Loehr). More recent experiments by the Japanese scientist, Masaru Emoto, graphically prove that human thought and emotion affect the crystal structure of frozen water (Messages from Water, Masaru Emoto). Thought is one of the most powerful components of healing -- this has been my experience based on what I’ve read and have discovered in my own life, as well as helping others for 13 years. Once you FOCUS on healing, vs. disease, the disease begins to disappear! I’ve had a great many realizations about this by reading a few good books: Your Empowering Spirit, Gary Sinclair, p. 56-57; Love, Medicine and Miracles, Bernie Siegal; The Holographic Universe, Michael Talbot, p. 93-94; The Chemistry of Essential Oils Made Simple, Dr. David Steward. Human thought and human intent affect electron behavior. Since every chemical and neural process in the human body involves the activity of electrons, we see that our bodily functions are not simple matters of traditional chemistry and classical physics. They are mental, emotional, and spiritual as well. The so called, “body-mind connection” is

www.BodyMindSpiritRADIO.com

through the electrons. Essential oils amplify intent -- the intent of the person applying the oils as well as the intent of the person receiving the oils. When I (and other practitioners) pray while applying essential oils to help my clients, I do believe that indeed they WILL help -- and they do! And, if my client-receiver prays and believes too, the effect is EVEN BETTER! When someone asks me, “What will this oil do for me?” I give them two answers: 1) It depends on the chemical structure of this particular oil and your body’s own chemistry, whether it can do this or that. 2) Or, I reply, “What do you want it to do?”, because this bottle is only a packet of possibilities; which possibility it manifests for you will depend on your thought and desires! The science of essential oils, as agents of health and healing, involves both physics and chemistry in combination with the human heart and mind. Therapeutic grade essential oils are in a category all their own, above and beyond the simple drugs, antibiotics and antibacterial agents marketed by physicians and pharmacists. Essential oils have been available on earth since the creation of plant life and are imbued with the qualities and intent of their Creator. The medicines of man fabricated in factories and labs have NO such qualities and the intent of their makers is not necessarily…healing. To your Health, Happiness and Wealth! Ilka Handshaw There is so much more to learne about this subject! Join us for an Essential oils class May 22, at the Westland Library, 7:00 pm.

The Power of Prayer On an individual level, while “miracles” can happen to us without any preparation at all, the likelihood for apparently impossible things to happen is far greater if we can fully utilize the magic of our mind-bodyspirit connection. While our conscious minds analyze, and create limits, checks and boundaries to help us understand the world around us, our soul or spiritual self is attuned to the limitless nature of Creation. The more we align ourselves with our spiritual aspects, therefore, the more we are operating in the realm of the miraculous. This true story illustrates the unusual way prayer can work. When a friend was a student in England, he missed the last bus home and realized he was in the middle of nowhere. It was freezing cold, pitch dark and raining. He decided to pray and, typical of this person, he did not actually pray for

help for himself but offered some prayers for peace. He did not want to be seen so he went behind a thick bush where he prayed silently. Suddenly he heard a voice say, “I’m not going to see you hiding behind the bush!” He came out from behind the bush and saw that a truck had pulled up and the driver was offering him a lift. When he asked the driver how he knew he was there, he just winked and smiled knowingly! The more we prepare ourselves spiritually, the more the spiritual world opens up to release its riches. So-called miracles happen when we learn to understand and control our mental-spiritual nature, and the seen and unseen worlds around us. The great Avatar, Jesus, demonstrated miracles such as healing, walking on water, and raising the dead. He also told us that we could do greater things than even he could. Dr. George King found that while in a highly elevated mystic state, the result of many hours of spiritual practices, he would levitate. His landlady could not understand the round marks of grease on his ceiling; like young men in those days, he wore cream to flatten his hair! He also recounted the time when he went into a store and everybody ignored him. He realized he was invisible!

All the great spiritual teachers, masters, yogis, and enlightened ones of every faith throughout history have taught us this same truth in their different ways. We are all capable of these things. We just have to access the miracle machine within us. One of the best keys to unlock the great spiritual power within us is prayer. As well as helping others through our prayers, they will also help us. Prayer, performed effectively, will bring better health, clarity of mind, and more creativity and intuition. As well as these benefits, there are numerous spiritual benefits. As action and reaction is opposite and equal, by the Law of Karma, we must receive back the same amount and quality of love, healing and inspiration that we send out.

Herb of the Month:

What Love is to Me

Slippery Elm (Ulmus Rubra) Common names: Red elm, Indian elm. Part used: Inner bark. Common use: Slippery elm is used externally for the treatment of flesh wounds, both to fight infection and to stop bleeding. Internally, it is a wonderful herbal treatment for sore throat and cough. Widely used to combat indigestion. Comments: Make a paste with water and powdered bark; apply directly to thoroughlycleaned wounds to stop bleeding, and to seal the cut. Taken internally as tea. Daniel Ray

There is no definition of love. Everyone has his or her own opinions on what love is. For me, love is.. . • The butterflies I get right before I open the door to see him • The smile across my face when I think of him • The tingles throughout my body every time we kiss • The pain in my heart when we are apart • The excitement I feel when he says my name • The nervousness I get right before I call him • The feeling that nothing else in the world matters when I am with him • Being able to close my eyes and picture every curve on his face • Giving him the trust to hold my heart, and not being scared about it • My definition of love is just all these feelings that started from the first time I saw him and still stand true after being with him for 4 years. --- From Katie M.

You Were Made For This My friends, do not lose heart. We were made for these times. I have heard from so many recently who are deeply and properly bewildered. They are concerned about the state of affairs in our world now. Ours is a time of almost daily astonishment and often righteous rage over the latest degradations of what matters most to civilized visionary people. You are right in your assessments. The luster and hubris some have aspired to while endorsing acts so heinous against children, elders, everyday people, the poor, the unguarded, the helpless, is breathtaking. Yet, I urge you, ask you, gentle you, to please not spend your spirit dry by bewailing these difficult times. Especially do not lose hope. Most particularly because, the fact is that we were made for these times. Yes. For years, we have been learning, practicing, been in training for and just waiting to meet on this exact plane of engagement. I grew up on the Great Lakes and recognize a seaworthy vessel when I see one. Regarding awakened souls, there have never been more able vessels in the waters than there are right now across the world. And they are fully provisioned and able to signal one another as never before in the history of humankind. Look out over the prow; there are millions of boats of righteous souls on the waters with you. Eventhough your veneers may shiver from every wave in this stormy roil, I assure you that the long timbers composing your prow and rudder come from a greater forest. That long-grained lumber is known to withstand storms, to hold together, to hold its own, and to advance, regardless. In any dark time, there is a tendency to veer toward fainting over how much is wrong or unmended in the world. Do not May 2013

focus on that. There is a tendency, too, to fall into being weakened by dwelling on what is outside your reach, by what cannot yet be. Do not focus there. That is spending the wind without raising the sails. We are needed, that is all we can know. And though we meet resistance, we more so will meet great souls who will hail us, love us and guide us, and we will know them when they appear. Didn’t you say you were a believer? Didn’t you say you pledged to listen to a voice greater? Didn’t you ask for grace? Don’t you remember that to be in grace means to submit to the voice greater? Ours is not the task of fixing the entire world all at once, but of stretching out to mend the part of the world that is within our reach.

Any small, calm thing that one soul can do to help another soul, to assist some portion of this poor suffering world, will help immensely. Any small, calm thing that one soul can do to help another soul, to assist some portion of this poor suffering world, will help immensely.

of soul in shadowy times like these—to be fierce and to show mercy toward others; both are acts of immense bravery and greatest necessity. Struggling souls catch light from other souls who are fully lit and willing to show it. If you would help to calm the tumult, this is one of the strongest things you can do. There will always be times when you feel discouraged. I too have felt despair many times in my life, but I do not keep a chair for it. I will not entertain it. It is not allowed to eat from my plate. The reason is this: In my uttermost bones I know something, as do you. It is that there can be no despair when you remember why you came to Earth, who you serve, and who sent you here. The good words we say and the good deeds we do are not ours. They are the words and deeds of the One who brought us here. In that spirit, I hope you will write this on your wall: When a great ship is in harbor and moored, it is safe, there can be no doubt. But that is not what great ships are built for.

Reading Auras You probably already read auras, although you may not think of it that way. If you pick up on people’s energy, can sense trouble in a room, or a true unconditional welcome from another, you are reading auras. Developing this gift takes attention and frequent practice to learn to trust and interpret your impressions. People always think seeing color is aura reading. That is one aspect. The interpretation of color in the aura needs to include deeper perceptions, such as instinct and feelings to tell you more than what your third eye is telling you. Red can be pure vital energy combined with love, or it can be hatred and violence. Shades of color can help you tell the difference, but even more

important is the energy you perceive along with the color. Anyone paying attention to their instincts will know the difference between the positive and negative reds whether or not they see color. You may have a gut feeling of wholeness and goodness, or an impression of something that is a bit off, or downright dangerous. You, who can see spiritual color, learn to pay attention to those deeper, more instinctual senses as well so that your eyes don’t mislead you. Without them you might think something is negative, just because it is red, or that it is positive just because it is purple or green. Green can be healing, or jealousy; purple can be spiritually enlightened or opportunistic. White can be the highest level of spirit or it can be a whitewash over something.

In your heart and belly, your spine and the still place within you can tell the difference. For those of you who don’t see color, this is good news! You don’t need to see the aura to discern its energy. Your deep sense of truth and love can recognize the subtler messages that energy holds; you just need to pay attention to what you know inside. It is common to be misled by what we see with our eyes, be that spiritual or physical vision. If we like what we see, we can forget to listen to those subtler messages that may tell us to be careful. Reading auras for healing uses all the senses. Tune into someone’s higher self to get a sense of who they are; then you scan their energy for anything that doesn’t resonate truly with that. You will gradually learn to tell the difference between someone’s emotional and mental baggage, health and disease, or negative energy in their aura. I don’t recommend people open to

reading others for healing without basic training at not taking on issues or giving your energy away. A good place to explore on your own would be tuning into plants or animals whose vibrations will generally be benign. See if you can tell the difference between types of trees or plants with your eyes closed, just by their energy. With dogs and cats you’ll sense thoughts and desires or physical needs. When they are ill their energy will appear different right around the problem or in general. Spending time in nature, your soul will open up and if you allow yourself to settle into your feelings you will sense all kinds of energy fields radiating from soil, water, air, plants, animals and nature spirits. Nature is the best beginning teacher for intuitive development that I know. It helps to pay attention to your feelings about people, circumstances or events. Check in before arriving somewhere, see how it feels to you; pay attention during the experience and check in afterward to see how you feel when you have left. Then observe over time if your perceptions were right, or if you misinterpreted something. You will learn to trust your impressions through practice. There is an aura to food and supplements. Check with your body, asking what it wants. Perhaps you feel you need a supplement, but don’t know what. Go to the store and allow yourself to be drawn to what feels like it fills that need. Then ask the staff to explain what that supplement does and see if it makes sense why you were drawn to it. The same with the food you buy or find on the menu. Ask yourself, what does my body need to eat for my perfect balance? You might be surprised that it doesn’t always fit with what you hear from the “experts”! Trust yourself and learn to pay attention so you’ll always have an expert on hand! Aura reading is the way that you instinctually as well as spiritually respond to the energy around you. You may not see with your eyes, but instead have an inner image that shows you what you are sensing. Or it may all be feeling. For some it is even more subtle, just an inner knowing, but just as valid. Once you have practiced and developed the personal applications of this gift, it is not such a big step to think about developing it in service to others if that is of interest to you. With practice, you will find your perceptions to be precise and reliable gifts.

True Health… Europeans believe This is the missing link… Have you ever asked yourself this question, “I eat right and I exercise, so why is it …I just don’t feel healthy?” Do you feel stressed and unable to catch up on everything that needs to be done? Do you feel tired all the time? How about that brain of yours? Have you ever experienced a foggy brain? If you’re asking yourself these questions, I’m here to tell you, you’re not alone. Patients are coming into my office more and more these days telling me these things. Chronic fatigue, stressed out, headaches, can’t sleep at night, tired in the early afternoon, and their bodies are aching all over. And to top that off, they’re suffering with depression. But to make things worse, they wake up in the morning constipated. Then they come home and aren’t interested in doing anything with their spouses. STOP and think about this for a minute -- this is not what you call,

St. Jude’s Novena

May the Sacred Heart of Jesus be adored, glorified, loved & preserved throughout the world Now & Forever. Sacred Heart of Jesus, Pray for us, St. Jude, worker of miracles, pray for us, St. Jude, helper of the hopeless, pray for us. Say this prayer 9 times a day; by the 8th day, your prayer will be answered. It has never been known to fail. Publication must be promised. Love & Light, Susan 14

‘living the good life!’ We have problems that need attention. What’s this missing link I’m talking about? I’m finding that more and more of the patients I’ve tested have a fungus, yeast or parasite problem. Sometimes, they have a combination of these problems. A wonderful awakening happens after they have been treated for these conditions. In most cases, they start feeling good about themselves and good things begin to happen. They have more energy and a lot of conditions get better. Its unbelievable how many health problems go away. They’re feeling like they’re alive again. I can give you an example of a patient I love dearly. Her name is Carol and she has Lipadema -- a condition where your weight goes to the hips and legs, making them extremely large. I’ve been treating her for parasites and in less than two months, her hips have gone down from 93 inches to 52 inches. She had two large tumors on her inner thighs, each the size of my foot (about 12 inches long) that have gone down drastically to almost nothing. She has now lost 65 lbs. in less than two months. She’s doing things that she hasn’t done in many years. She’ll tell you -- she’s feeling alive again. I’d like to ask all of you a question. Why is it that all the countries around the world treat their society for these conditions, yet we hardly hear anyone in our great nation treating these conditions, especially parasites? Do you know what nation in the world is ranked the healthiest? It’s FRANCE, and Italy is second. America is one of the wealthiest nations in the world, yet ranks 38th on the list of healthiest countries -- just slightly ahead of Cuba, according to the 2007 World Health Organization’s Report. You might ask yourself, “What is France doing that we’re not doing?” Well, the French people do at least two parasite cleanses each year and get checked Body Mind Spirit Guide | May 2013

for fungus and yeast problems. They get treated if they find they have any of these conditions. Getting checked for parasites, fungi or yeast in their country is a routine event. Let’s think about this for a second. Our people love to travel to foreign countries. Don’t you think it’s possible that we might pick up a few of these parasites from our travels? How about this one -- more and more people are moving to the United States. If they’re coming from a third world country and bringing parasites with them, we could be in a world of trouble because a lot of them get jobs in restaurants handling our food. It’s not like the good old days when people first came to this country and were quarantined for 30 days. Why were they quarantined? Because we wanted to make sure they didn’t come in with parasites or diseases. So what did our country see then that they don’t see now? Or, is it that we have become naïve. It’s time that we stop and reevaluate our health issues. We need to do something about it before it’s too late. As you can see, parasites, yeasts and fungi can cause many health problems. I hope this article will open your eyes to the possibility of eliminating a lot of ailments that you thought may never go away. You can possibly restore your body back to those younger years and live a long happy life. “Remember the choices we make…not the chances we take, determine our destiny.” God Bless, Dr. Michael D.

They read about it… They called about it… They tried the program... Well folks the results are in: Here’s what they had to say: Last month I read what Dr Reggish of the Reggish Holistic Wellness Clinic had to say about his weight lost programs. I decided to do his nutritional wellness program where for $45 the Doc tests you for food allergies, toxic metals, chemicals, parasites, fungus, bacteria and viruses. I had no idea what was going on in my body. I started Dr Reggish’s program and to my amazement in just one week I lost 14.5 lbs. I stayed away from the foods I was allergic to and took a few herbs to help get rid of the toxic metals, chemicals and parasites. The weight just fell off. I can’t believe how easy it is to lose this weight. My friends are shocked and three of them have started the program. Oh, one more thing my sugar cravings were gone completely in just one day. This is a miracle. God Bless you Dr Reggish. -T.B. Royal Oak, MI The Reggish Holistic Wellness Clinic

To check out this program and purchase it at wholesale prices go to: www.drreggish. isagenix.com then contact our office to get Dr. Reggish’s version of how to do the Isagenix program to maximize your weight loss. I was referred to Dr. Reggish because I’ve had fibromyalgia (pain throughout the whole body) for 15 years now. I’m on morphine for the pain. I have chronic fatigue that keeps me in bed more than out of bed. I had disc surgery on my lower back two years ago... I still have pain there that never goes away. My migraine headaches last for days at a time. I needed to lose about 30 pounds. I was hoping that Dr Reggish might be able to help. I have been reading about Dr Reggish for over 2 years now and thought its time to give him a chance. I wish I hadn’t waited so long. The first time I went in to see Dr Reggish he did a chiropractic adjustment and was able to get rid of my horrific migraine in just a few minutes. My fibro pain was gone in one treatment and my disc pain was reduced by 75 %. He did his nutritional testing on me and in just 5 days now I’ve lost 10.5 lbs on his program. I still can’t believe how good I feel after so many years of suffering. If you’re suffering and feeling hopeless, all I can say is try Dr. Reggish once and you will be thankful you did. Go into his office and talk to his patients. You won’t believe the success stories. Dr Reggish is passionate about his work. Thank you Dr Reggish. -Kate B. Romeo, MI

I was referred to Dr. Reggish from a friend. I just wasn’t feeling good at all and I was hoping that Dr Reggish could help. I had lost about 100 lbs with bariatric surgery but the weight loss just stopped. I was at a dead-end. For 3 months I couldn’t even lose a pound. My knees were killing me. The doctors said it was bone on bone and that I needed replacement surgery. I went to see if Dr Reggish could help. Dr Reggish is a Chiropractor and a Clinical Nutritionist. He examined me and said that the knees were out of alignment. He adjusted my knees and I couldn’t believe how much of the pain was gone. They felt 80% better in just one treatment. The next day after another treatment, my knees didn’t hurt at all. I can’t believe that I almost got surgery that I didn’t need. Also in just 3 days I’ve lost 9 ½ pounds doing Dr Reggish’s Isagenix program. It’s a simple program to follow and I’m not hungry at all. I’m so happy I found Dr. Reggish. Not only that, he’s one funny doctor that makes you feel welcome. -K. D. Canton, MI May 2013

The Soul’s Journey of Awakening

We must commit to healing and resolving all that is hidden in darkness and let the light of truth free us from our fear and illusion. It is only then that we discover our soul’s wisdom and purpose.

“All the clarity, wisdom and truth you seek, you already have. All that you want to be, you already are. All you have to do is move your attention, intention and awareness to the truth of your own soul.” ~ Chris Sarris A Crisis Is a Terrible Thing to Waste You are not going crazy. Your life is not a wreck. It’s just your turn to grow. Allow your breakdowns to become your breakthroughs to a deeper truth and new possibility for your life. What if what you are experiencing as a “crisis” or being “stuck” is really just a spiritual awakening, your time to grow? If this is true, then what no longer works must fall apart so that your new self can come together. Facing Our Pain Typically, we do not want to face our fears because we are afraid of them. We are afraid that they will pull us back into the experiences of pain, and the abandonment and failure associated with them. So, we try other strategies to succeed. We use a variety of masks, personas, defenses and coping mechanisms to manage the pain of our wounds and suppress the unwanted feelings associated with previous failures and fear. We do this by trying to consciously control our environment, people and relationships, all in order to deny our pain and suffering. None of this really works, but we live with it anyway. As a result, we live narrow, limited and controlled lives that suffocate and smother our joy, inspiration, creativity and abundance at all levels of our life, giving us a false sense of security. This is a tremendous amount of energy wasted on avoiding, repressing, and ignoring what we need to face—our failures and fears—in order to awaken to our soul’s journey. 16

Everything Is an Expression of Love & Truth, Or Fear & Illusion All that is not of light and truth becomes our shadow, an expression of illusion or fear, which veils our true self by becoming a created truth we hide behind. Therefore, we must be committed to healing, and bring light to disarm the shadow that has kept us from our soul and truth. Our fear is the expression of our ego. It is what sabotages our relationships and jobs, and denies our spirit, keeping us from realizing our soul’s truth and destiny. It is what we sweep under the rug. It gets buried and repressed into our unconscious self. Our ego is the voice that says we are unloved, undeserving and unworthy, keeping us from what we want or desire. It shows itself through our projection of judgments on others. Terrified of discovery, the ego uses the tools of judgment and projection to protect itself. This makes us feel like victims and veils us from seeing the reality we have created from all of the pain and struggle in our life. The Truth Will Set You Free Truth is what our spiritual journey is all about. Telling ourselves the truth frees us from our fear-based walls and selfimposed limitations. When you face the truth of your fears and challenges in life, you can do something about it. Truth liberates, heals and transforms. Body Mind Spirit Guide | May 2013

During the soul journey, we learn to be honest with ourselves, face our fears and wounds, and begin to heal through them and live from a deeper truth. We gain the courage we need to become more integrated and whole. We discover the love, the power and the understanding we need to transform our fears and heal our wounds. This is the journey and process of discovering and living our soul’s truth and how we become who we always have been, one soul’s expression of spirit in the universe. Soul-based coaching and counseling empowers clients to discover their own healing, insights and direction. Clients find themselves in a satisfying relationship with their everyday life and gain a meaningful rapport with their true inner self; the soul. This begins when we recognize and acknowledge that we are in pain and struggling, that we need support and want to change and heal our life. By making this choice we begin our journey back to our true self, healing and living beyond our ego’s fear and reality. Connecting to and living from our true self, allows each one of us to see and relate to our experiences in a more meaningful and accurate context, which means that a shift from a place of fear, pain, suffering and numbness to a place of clarity, truth and freedom, has transpired.

Daddy’s Little Girl

At last the teacher called her name, every child turned to stare.

And from somewhere in the crowd of dads, her mother stood in tears.

Her hair up in a pony tail, her favorite dress tied with a bow.

Each of them were searching, for a man who wasn’t there.

Proudly watching her daughter, who was wise beyond her years

Today was Daddy’s Day at school, and she couldn’t wait to go.

“Where’s her daddy at?” She heard a boy call out.

For she stood up for the love, of a man not in her life.

But her mommy tried to tell her, that she probably should stay home.

“She probably doesn’t have one,” another student dared to shout.

Why the kids might not understand, if she went to school alone.

And from somewhere near the back, she heard a daddy say.

But she was not afraid; she knew just what to say.

“Looks like another deadbeat dad, too busy to waste his day.”

What to tell her classmates, on the Daddy’s Day.

The words did not offend her, as she smiled at her friends.

But still her mommy worried, for her to face this day alone.

And looked back at her teacher, who told her to begin.

And that was why once again, she tried to keep her daughter home.

And with hands behind her back, slowly she began to speak.

But the little girl went to school, eager to tell them all.

And out from the mouth of a child, came words incredibly unique.

About a dad she never sees, a dad who never calls.

“My Daddy couldn’t be here, because he lives so far away.

There were daddies along the wall in back for everyone to meet.

But I know he wishes he could, be with me on this day.”

Children squirming impatiently, anxious in their seats.

“And though you cannot meet him, I wanted you to know.

One by one the teacher called, a student from the class.

All about my Daddy,

To introduce their daddy as seconds slowly passed.

“He loved to tell me stories, he taught me to ride my bike.

And how much he loves me so.”

He surprised me with pink roses and taught me to fly a kite.”

The love of a mother is the veil of a softer light between the heart and the heavenly Father. Samuel Taylor Coleridge

“We used to share fudge sundaes, and ice cream in a cone. And though you cannot see him, I’m not standing here alone.” “Cause my Daddy’s always with me, even though we are far apart. I know because he told me, he’ll forever be here in my heart.” With that her little hand reached up, and lay across her chest. Feeling her own heartbeat, beneath her favorite dress.

Body Mind Spirit Guide | May 2013

Doing what was best for her, doing what was right. And when she dropped her hand back down, staring straight into the crowd. She finished with a voice so soft, but its message clear and loud. “I love my Daddy very much, he’s my shining star. And he’d be here if he could, but heavens much to far.” “Sometimes when I close my eyes, it’s like he never went away.” And then she closed her eyes, and she saw him there that day. And to her mother’s amazement, she witnessed with surprise. A room full of Daddies and Children, all starting to close their eyes. Who knows what they saw before them, who knows what they felt inside. Perhaps for merely a second, they saw him at her side. “I know you’re with me Daddy,” to the silence she called out. And what happened next made believers, of those once filled with doubt. Not one in that room could explain it, for each of their eyes had been closed. But there placed on her desk, was a beautiful pink rose. And a child was blessed, if only for a moment, by the love of her shining bright star. And given the gift of believing that, Heaven is never too far. Dedicated to all children that have lost their Daddy or Mommy. Always remember they will be in your hearts.

MANIFESTING YOUR DREAMS USING CLEAR QUARTZ CRYSTAL AND

MANIFESTING WITH STONES:

CITRINE As our world moves at a rapid pace, it’s helpful to manifest how we want our lives to play out. Working with crystals will amplify our intentions, helping us raise our vibration above our fears and attract exactly what we need to manifest our dreams. MANIFESTING GUIDELINES: 1. Release all fears, how’s and ‘what ifs’. 2. Be positive and specific about the future. 3. Use positive emotions to aid manifesting, be diligent in your mind and cautious of your ego. 4. Express gratitude and have faith that your prayers are being answered. 5. Visualize daily your highest success. This will help raise your vibration, drawing it to you. Also, create a wish board to keep focused on your goal. Collect pictures/objects that help you feel joy. 6. Creating and repeating positive affirmations helps you stay focused. One of my affirmations is; “I’m happy and grateful for my six Clients every day.” Two stones that work with manifesting are clear quartz crystal and citrine. Citrine is a great stone for manifesting because it transmutes negative energy/ fear into positive energy. It also clears and balances the solar plexus, awakening our will and self power. Citrine also clears and opens the third eye chakra stimulating our imagination. At the sacral and base levels, it clears and opens these chakras while stimulating our creativity and ability to manifest into the physical reality. May 2013

1. Use one piece of citrine or quartz. Holding the citrine in your hand, visualize from start to finish successfully achieving your goals. Repeat this visualization for 15 minutes. Now you’ve programmed your citrine to aid with your manifesting. Keep it with you to attract experiences you need. 2. You can do a total chakra balancing using one piece of citrine. Start at your base chakra. Hold the citrine on your base chakra for five minutes, then while holding the citrine, move up to your sacral chakra and repeat the process until all chakras are done. 3. Place five pieces of citrine on your vision board. Place one in the center and one in each of the four corners -- these stones will help to continually attract what you need. 4. For this crystal array, use three pieces of citrine and three quartz, or six pieces of citrine. Laying flat, place two pieces of citrine on the sides of each shoulder, place the last piece just below your feet. Place a clear quartz crystal above your crown chakra and place the last two pieces on either side of both ankles. Lay in this array for 15 -30 minutes. Visualize what you’re manifesting. Remember to see it from the beginning to end with you getting paid and everyone happy. Dream as big as you can and even bigger!

She offers classes in crystal healing and reiki. Her therapies include crystal healing facilitator and spiritual counselor. 248-672-0579 or quartzcrystal420@ yahoo.com

Busy Mom... I ran into a stranger as he passed by, “Oh excuse me please” was my reply. He said, “Please excuse me too; I wasn’t watching for you.” We were very polite, this stranger and I. We went on our way and we said goodbye. Later that day, cooking the evening meal, my son stood beside me very still. When I turned, I nearly knocked him down. “Move out of the way,” I said with a frown. He walked away, his little heart broken. I didn’t realize how harshly I’d spoken but while I lay awake that night in my bed, God’s still small voice came to me and said; “While dealing with a stranger, common courtesy you use, but the children you love, you seem to abuse. Go and look on the kitchen floor, you’ll find some flowers there by the door. Those are the flowers he brought for you. He picked them himself: pink, yellow and blue. He stood very quietly not to spoil the surprise. You never saw the tears that filled his little eyes.” By this time, I felt very small, and now my tears began to fall. I quietly went and knelt by his bed; “Please wake up, little one,” I said. “Are these the flowers you picked for me?” He smiled, “I found ‘em out by the tree. I picked ‘em because they’re pretty like you. I knew you’d like ‘em, especially the blue.” I said, “Son, I’m very sorry for the way I acted today; I shouldn’t have yelled at you that way.” He said, “Oh, Mom, that’s okay. I love you anyway,” I said, “I love you too, and I love the flowers, especially the blue.”

Do you remember the television show with Allen Funt that involved hidden cameras and practical jokes? Unless you’re caught on Candid Camera or are asked to smile for a picture, most smiles are completely automatic.

mini Workshop on

Smiles are tied into emotions as part of a highly complex system that starts in the brain, called the autonomic nervous system. This system is responsible for everything that takes place in the body that doesn’t require our conscious direction. Some of the most important functions controlled by the autonomic nervous system include blood pressure, heart rate, heart rhythm, digestion, blood vessel constriction, body temperature, sweating, blushing, salivation, goose bumps, and pupil dilation.

To keep the body in a state of balance,

the autonomic nervous system directs the body to make any necessary changes through a process called, homeostasis. Let’s use temperature control as an example of homeostasis. To maintain the internal temperature at approximately 98.6 degrees Fahrenheit, the body automatically alters internal heat production and surface moisture with specialized cells called, thermoreceptors. Other specialized cells include baroreceptors that monitor blood pressure, osmoreceptors that track ion balance, and chemoreceptors that track chemical changes. Another example is when the body encounters foreign bacteria. Sensing the difference between foreign bacteria and the 500 or so friendly bacteria in the body, the hypothalamus raises the body temperature to release ionizable calcium from the bones. This is how the body mobilizes the necessary armaments for the immune system to launch a counterattack against invaders.

Happy Mother’s Day to all our patients including Jessie who at age 97 credits her health to a lifetime of chiropractic care!

The control center of the autonomic nervous system is called the hypothalamus. The hypothalamus uses two types of signals to regulate bodily functions in order to maintain homeostasis: neural signals and endocrine signals. Endocrine signals refer to hormonal signals that are sent and received by various glands and cells. Some of the endocrine structures that receive these signals include the pituitary, thyroid and adrenal glands. The neural signals from the hypothalamus are sent throughout the body through two branches: the sympathetic and the parasympathetic nervous system. The ability to deal with every kind of stress is dependent upon healthy functioning of the autonomic nervous system. The sympathetic nervous system helps the body deal with stress by making changes to heart rate and blood pressure while it shuts down digestion, cellular repair, and the immune system. It makes the body run harder and faster, and is often referred to as “fight or flight” system. When the stress is over, the parasympathetic system helps return the body to a more relaxed state. The parasympathetic system is called the “rest and digest” system. The sympathetic system is housed primarily within the spine in the form of a complex netlike interconnection of nerve fibers called, ganglia. The ganglion exits the spine between each vertebra and goes to every gland, organ, blood vessel and bone. The parasympathetic nervous system starts with the Vagus nerve, which is one of twelve cranial nerves. The Vagus nerve exits the spine between the first and second cervical vertebrae as many of the cranial nerves do. It reenters the head and travels down the left side of the neck where it splits to form two main branches, referred to as the parasympathetic nervous system. May 2013

These two branches travel down either side of the spine, just outside the bones of the spine. The nerve fibers of the parasympathetic system target many of the same organs, glands, tissues, and structures as the sympathetic system. There is also a third branch of the Vagus nerve that travels to the stomach with a branch leading up to the heart. Because these two very important systems (sympathetic and parasympathetic) are housed within and around the spine, it’s extremely important to reduce or eliminate any structural interference that inhibits their function. Even interferences in the form of pollutants or toxins that alter your body’s natural chemistry need to be removed. By eliminating these interferences, there is better communication within the autonomic nervous system and the structures it monitors and operates. Considering that the sympathetic system runs to almost every gland, organ, blood vessel and bone, it’s extremely important that it functions correctly. Regular chiropractic adjustments are the best way to remove the abnormal pressures which create interferences within the autonomic nervous system. Adjustments to the spine also positively affect the hormonal and endocrine systems. In my work as a Wellness Doctor and Chiropractor, I see miracles as people regain their health through the recuperative, sophisticated powers of the human body -- just think how

impossible it would be to replicate all of its functions! Even using modern technology, including reverse engineering -- looking at something, taking it apart, and then using the knowledge gained to rebuild another -replicating a human body is far beyond our capabilities. Therefore, we should do everything we can to keep our bodies in good health so that we never have to replace something that is no longer working with an artificial part. Everyone who takes the time to maintain their health, and especially the health of their spine, through proper exercise, good nutrition, and regular chiropractic adjustments, deserves a pat on the back. Besides, that pat on the back stimulates the parasympathetic system which helps balance unavoidable stress. Take the extra steps to keep yourself healthy, and smile -- because you’re on automatic pilot! Dr. William H.

Rock of the Month: Yellow Apatite Yellow Apatite is a stone that is not only beautiful but helpful. This stone is aligned with the element of Fire, the masculine energy of stimulation, purification and transformation. It enhances male characteristics in both males and females and can be a great ally for those working on qualities of assertiveness and confidence. Yellow Apatite can serve as a great companion for use in meditation when we are in the process of creating. It assists us in discerning what information and situations serve our purposes. It deepens our insight and awareness as to how to manifest our greatest desires and the strength of will to persevere. It supports us when we need courage to take risks and helps us discern which risks are worth taking. It is a useful tool for anyone in a competitive situation from sports, academics to corporate situations. One word of caution, though, if you are already overly confident or cocky, using this stone may make you too assertive for most co-

workers or family members taste! Yellow Apatite resonates with the solar plexus, the “will center” and the “action center” or the naval chakra. Therefore, it is a valuable stone for people to use when they are starting new ventures and want to bring their passions into physical form. It supports the elimination of self-imposed limitations and helps us move through obstacles. It helps release blockages in the solar plexus that limit abundance and prosperity. It provides support for the development of self-confidence, and heals self-sabotaging and fear based patterns. It also works on stimulating the second chakra so that creative energies can move more freely and support the manifestation process. At the physical level, Yellow Apatite stimulates the endocrine system, helps with energy flow and is detoxifying. It stimulates the metabolism, enhances the effects of exercise, and supports weight loss. It can help the body utilize energy more efficiently. It supports digestion, and energizes the spleen and gall bladder. If worn on the body, it can help suppress the appetite.

Love of a Mother A little boy came up to his mother in the kitchen one evening while she was fixing supper, and handed her a piece of paper that he had been writing on. After his Mom dried her hands on an apron, she read it, and this is what it said: For cutting the grass: $5.00 For cleaning up my room this week: $1.00 For going to the store for you: $.50 Baby-sitting my kid brother while you went shopping: $.25 Taking out the garbage: $1.00 For getting a good report card: $5.00 For cleaning up and raking the yard: $2.00 Total owed: $14.75 Well, his mother looked at him standing there, and the boy could see the memories flashing through her mind. She picked up the pen, turned over the paper he’d written on, and this is what she wrote:

At the spiritual level, this stone aligns Divine will with self will. It encourages passion, dreams and creativity to flow. It strongly supports the concept of “service” and humanitarian efforts. This stone is attuned to healing, communicating, balancing, and teaching. If you want to feel more hopeful, have a more “sunny” disposition, try working with the energy of this awesome stone.

One day I was shopping with my child after work to pick up supplies needed for an employee celebration. I was exhausted and wanted to get in and out quickly. My child was tired and cranky and wanted out of the shopping cart. She was grabbing for every item we passed. I was losing my patience and temper when an elderly woman came over to us. She took my child’s hand, and said “what a lovely child.” My little girl was quiet immediately. The woman looked at me. She had an angelic smile and then again said, “they are so wonderful at this age.” At once I felt peaceful and in control of the situation. After she walked away, I found a snack that pleased me and my little one and we had a pleasant shopping trip. That one moment of someone reminding me what a treasure I had turned my whole attitude around and made my shopping trip so much easier.

Gambling with Your Health Our overall health is affected by all the choices we make every day. Most people guess what foods their body needs, what supplements to take, and what chemicals in the form of personal care products they will use. Guessing is like gambling. It is better to know if what you are eating and using is helping or harming your health. The Citizens for Health recently created a list of the top ten food additives to avoid. Read our April online Newsletter for more specifics. This summary includes some of the most common and toxic substances that are added to processed foods to lengthen shelf life. Consuming these additives is gambling with your future health. #1. High fructose corn syrup, HFCS, isn’t “corn sugar” or a “natural” ingredient, but a concoction that’s much cheaper than sugar. It’s in most pop, tea, flavored drinks, cookies, pastries, bread, condiments, jellies, and in some diet foods.

#2. Aspartame. This artificial sweetener is an “excitotoxin” that can literally excite brain cells to death, especially in children and the elderly. Labeled as “light”, “low-cal”, and “diet” in beverages and pop, kid’s vitamins, liquid cold drugs, pharmaceuticals, chewing gum, cereal, and sugar-free candies. #3. Hydrolyzed protein. #4. Autolyzed yeast. #5. Monosodium glutamate. These three toxic “excitotoxins” are in soups, broth, flavoring additives, chips, dips, soup mixes, ramen noodles, frozen meals, snack mixes, canned fish, and some “natural,” “vegetarian,” and organic foods.

Upcoming workshops and classes at: www.judithalightinthedarkness.com

#6. Potassium bromated. It’s been added to flour since 1968 and found in breads, flat breads, bakery products, knishes and tortillas. (May be on ingredient labels as “bromated flour.”) #7. Brominated vegetable oil, or BVO. Bromine is added to Gatorade products, Mountain Dew and other pop/drinks containing citrus flavorings. Bromine competes with iodine in the body, affecting thyroid health. #8. BHA and BHT. This pair of preservatives is made from coal tar or petroleum. Look at breakfast cereal and snack food labels, chewing gum, pies, cakes and processed meats. #9. Trans fats. These “bad” fats appear on labels as partially hydrogenated oil, regardless of a zero trans fats label listing. Commonly found in bakery items, pizza, dough, pies, cakes and cookies, snack foods, packaged/processed and frozen meals. #10. Artificial colors. They’re made from both coal tar and petroleum extracts. Many cereals, cakes, candies, bakery products, drinks, juice drinks, vitamins and pharmaceuticals have these. Dr. Carol Ann Fischer, B.S., D.C., N.D. At TLC Holistic Wellness we test people to see if these additives/toxins are interfering with healthy body function. When we find any chemicals that are contributing to unwanted health issues, we recommend specific nutrients to help improve the ability of the body to detoxify and

eliminate them. 734 664-339. www.TLCHolsticWellness.com.

Trusting YourselfDiscernment You have voice of God within you. This voice is also called, ‘listening to your gut’, ‘following your heart’ or ‘following your intuition’. Trusting others is always about trusting yourself to listen to your heart. When you are not anchored into listening to your inner voice, you will not feel peaceful in the world, and in an effort to feel safe, you will judge others and measure their character in attempts to find your footing. Listen to your heart and you will be provided for; or as the more common saying goes, “Where God guides, God provides.” When you follow what you feel is right for you, you strengthen your ability to hear the voice of God (intuition). Even if the end result doesn’t turn out the way you wanted, you were successful BECAUSE YOU LISTENED TO YOURSELF. When you feel your connection to yourself, you have everything. But when you don’t, you have nothing. Listening to your heart and following through is crucial to living your soul’s purpose, greater confidence and authentic happiness. Your connection to God IS your connection to Self. Your connection to Self IS the way you plug into the universe or God. Nurturing your connection to Self (following through on your little hearts

guidance, meditation, affirmative prayer, rest, play, spiritual mentor etc...) is your connection to God. In other words, loving yourself is not selfish, but rather a logical step in feeling your connection to the Divine. Discernment is vital to making self empowering choices and accepting others as they are. The most powerful form of discernment is found from looking within, and following your own emotional guidance system. When you were about to make a choice not aligned with love and more out of fear, didn’t you feel something wasn’t right? But you chose not to listen and you let other’s opinions, mental chatter, or attachment to the outcome get in your way. Forgive yourself betrayal. We are all learning to listen to ourselves. Sometimes you must lose yourself, to find your Self. It’s not about being right or wrong. Release your fear of failure. Mistakes are not mistakes if you learn from them. You can only fly high if you are willing to fall. Your truth is your own. Needing people to agree with you or pushing to prove your point, you are only showing your doubt in listening to yourself. What works for you, works for you. It would be wise for you to follow your own truth and stop worrying about what other people are thinking or doing. The paradox is: listen to yourself and live your truth and you will have people listening to you without you even trying. I have seen this play out in my life and experience it on a day to day basis.

In the beginning of my service, after my spiritual awakening, I was trying to convince people that through loving themselves and changing their inner self-perception, it would heal their bodies, finances, relationships etc... People didn’t listen even though I was “right.” But when I knew these teachings to be my own truth, and lived them without concern whether people agreed with me....people began to flock to hear what I had to say.

If you are having trouble hearing your heart, use these two spiritual tools. If you are still having trouble, please call me for help. 1. Take a few breaths, then ask yourself: “If I loved and respected myself I would_______.” 2. The second half of this prayer comes from my dear friend and colleague, Dr Eldridge Huntington. Thirty years ago when he prayed it, he said it changed his life. Affirm this before bed, “I am willing to respect and honor myself. I am willing to honor my feelings. God grant me the sensitivity to hear Thy voice, and the courage to follow it.” When you commit to making the whisperings of your heart your inner compass, you will feel peaceful in a chaotic world. When you trust yourself to listen to your Self, you are no longer so worried about others opinions or irritated by someone who doesn’t agree with you. You are powerful to change your life. You can do it. Be clear on Who You Are (beauty, spirit, child of Creation), listen to your heart’s guidance, and joy will be your state of Being, independent of conditions or circumstances. I love you, Creation supports you, be willing to look within, and miracles can happen. In service, Barbra White.

DOMINATING WOMEN Everybody on earth dies and goes to heaven. God comes and says, “I want the men to make two lines. One line for the men that dominated their women on earth and the other line for the men that were dominated by their women. Also, I want all the women to go with St. Peter.” With that said and done, the next time God looked, the women are gone and there are two lines. The line of the men that were dominated by their women was 100 miles long, and in the line of men that dominated their women, there was only one man. God got mad and said, “You men should be ashamed of yourselves. I created, you in my image and you were all whipped by your mates. Look at the only, one of my sons that stood up and made me proud. Learn from him! Tell them my son, how did you manage to be the only one in this line?” And the man replied, “I don’t know, my wife told me to stand here.” ☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☺☻☺☺☺☺☺ Happy mother’s day...

Does Depression Lead to Eating Chocolate, or Vice Versa? Have you noticed that everyone is talking about chocolate and how it is even good for you, especially the darkest and most decadent? Actually, it has been receiving good press for a number of years for mood improvement. It’s reputation took a hit almost three years ago (April 26, 2010) when a new study in the Archives of Internal Medicine revealed that it is not clear if chocolate combats depression or if the sweet treat actually contributes to the problem. Beatrice Golomb, MD, PhD, of the University of California-San Diego, and her colleagues acknowledge that they can’t say which direction the cause-and-effect arrow is pointing in their study of chocolate and depression. They do say that the findings are clear: people who are clinically depressed are more likely to eat chocolate, and the more depressed they are, the more they eat. The researchers noted that a rich cultural tradition links chocolate with mood benefits. They found that a Google search for “chocolate” and “mood” returns more than 6 million listings. In one study of 3,000 people with depression, half reported that chocolate made them feel better. To find out whether chocolate really boosts your mood, Dr. Golomb and her colleagues compared the chocolate consumption of 931 adults (both men and women, none of whom were taking anti-depressants) with participant scores on a standard test for depression. Those who screened positive for possible depression consumed an average of 8.4 servings of chocolate per month, compared with 5.4 for other participants. People whose scores were even higher, reflecting probable major depression consumed even more chocolate, 11.8 servings per month. 28

Factors that might be theorized to improve mood such as caffeine, fat, carbohydrate, and caloric intake turned out to have no significant correlation with depression. Nor was there a difference in consumption of antioxidant-rich foods besides chocolate between the groups. Several explanations for the findings are possible, according to Dr. Golomb. Depression could stimulate chocolate cravings, either for actual mood benefits (as has been suggested in recent studies of rats) or unrelated reasons. Chocolate could contribute to depressed mood. Or a physiological factor such as inflammation could drive either of these potential causes. As a culture, we try to escape feelings of depression whenever we can. Alcohol is a poor choice because it lifts depression temporarily, and then multiples it’s symptoms quickly and lasts for days. A note concerning drugs: depression can arise during use, for example, with marijuana, or as apart of withdrawal, for example, with cocaine. If you try to mix anti-depressants with drugs they will interact in an unpleasant way, canceling out the “good” effects of either and leaving only bad ones. Three healthier choices are additional sleep, exercise, and meditation. Some types of depression lead to increased need for sleep, but more typically those suffering become restless, have difficulty falling asleep, and wake up before their alarm clock. Obviously, the lack of sleep does not enhance coping. A simple walk around the block or at a super-store can boost the chemicals in the brain to facilitate a mood change. Doing several floor exercises or even climbing up and down the stairs (earlier in the day than before bedtime) can help. If you can take a longer walk, shovel snow or attend an exercise class, which is even better. A yoga class or CD can help you exercise and focus on the spirtual “big picture,” which can help alleviate deBody Mind Spirit Guide | May 2013

pression. It has been proven that ANTS, automatic negative thoughts, feed on themselves. Learning to meditate can assist in a similar way, by increasing serenity as well as time for prayerful listening to Spirit. Depression may have psychological or physiological roots. If things are going poorly in your marriage or at work, or you are actively grieving, causality is probably leaning toward the psychological. If something like peptides—little proteins, usually from partially digested foods like gluten and dairy products, are leaking from the gut into the brain—they can show up as depression (or ADHD, autism, autoimmunity and more). Many other physical conditions have a component of depression, for example, underactive thyroid (see my Dec 2012 article). Ongoing depression is a warning from your entire system that something is amiss. We are whole beings--everything is connected to everything else in our bodies, minds, and spirits. It is unlikely that there is one simple remedy among the local drug store’s’ over-the-counter products. It is critical that you seek out advice and treatment from professionals for yourself or your loved ones. Usually one-on-one therapy and medication are necessary for healing. Medications regulate chemicals in the brain and cause side effects that are frequently debilitating. A patient of mine rapidly declined: “After four weeks, I was suicidal and even without it; I had horrible headaches for a year.” Choose your psychiatrist cautiously so you are treated with the safest available and the minimum dosage which will assist you in your return to contentment, confidence, assertion, and flexibility. Positive comments of several of my patients related to medication: “It was only part of my recovery plan, but definitely helped.” “It lifted me out of the quicksand.” “Both you and Dr. X treat me like a partner more than a patient. I like that”

By necessity this article has briefly addressed depression and several themes related to it. Its bottom line is: if you or a loved one are exhibiting signs of depression, seek help. I have treated suffers of the mood disorder which we call â&#x20AC;&#x153;depressionâ&#x20AC;? for 30 years. Evening and Saturday appointments are available if you cannot make it during usual office hours. I take most insurance. You do not have to get through this alone. Call me at 248-921-7922.

Body Mind Spirit Guide | May 2013

(Mon-Thur | 10 - 6pm)

Your Intuition IQ Standarized IQ Tests No matter what your score on typical intelligence tests, these instruments measure something other than your intuitive intelligence. They have little or nothing to do with intuition or creativity. Rather, they measure one’s leftbrain abilities, which are linear and logical. Left-Brainers and Intuition: In fact, a high score on a standardized test such as the Stanford-Binet may be a sign that you are going to have more of a struggle believing in your intuition. As an intuition teacher, I see the doubt the logical left-brain brings to the party. It’s hard for the left-brain type to trust what their intuition is telling them. However, trust is probably the biggest key to accessing intuition. The stronger you are with your logical left-brain, the harder it is for you to have confidence in the impulses from the right brain. The more highly educated you are, the more you’ll have to rely on the left-brain as the determiner of truth. If something can’t be proven, it is incorrect or at least extremely suspect. This is the scientific and “correct” approach we typically use as a standard in our western world. The Left Brain is No Wallflower: The left brain thinks loudly. It shouts. It second guesses and dismisses the intuitive information, which is usually broadcasting on a quieter frequency. One’s intuition is playing in the background, as sure as there is night and day. It’s everyone’s choice whether or not they will pay attention to it. Here are some differences between left- and right-brain IQs: Left Brainer Traits and Careers: The left brain is logical and linear. It does things in the correct order and knows what that order is. One with a strong left-brain usually does well with reading, writing, and mathematics. These subjects have rules and the left-brainers love rules. They have a hard time seeing the final result until they’ve gone through all the intermediate steps that lead to a completed goal. Typical left-brain oriented careers include science, accounting, and law. These are jobs with well-defined rules. The rules provide a stable base for left-brain oriented individuals. Dislike of change is another characteristic of left-brain people. They are more likely to think things were just fine the way they were so why upset the apple cart? They seldom propose innovative, creative ideas. If they do, they probably got it from a right-brain individual. When the new idea has been formulated, they can do a great job with implementation of it; that’s part of their genius. Left- and right-brainers can work together May 2013

very nicely and need each other’s help to bring cool new stuff into the world! Right Brainer Traits: The right-brainers don’t need any time at all to get information. They leap from A (the question), to Z (the solution) in a nanosecond! Their data is not based on education or experience. These things matter, of course, but the right brain considers that type of input as only one possibility. They see the overall picture rapidly and don’t see a reason to go through a bunch of unnecessary steps. They may already have leapt to a new idea as their mouth is talking about the previous thought. So they can seem scattered as they quickly process information and come up with new thoughts spontaneously. The best careers for right brain folks involve creativity: they do well as artists, musicians, athletes, sales people, dancers, and entrepreneurs. Intuitive information is highly suspect to the left-brainers of the world. “Intuition comes from…well, who the heck knows?” would be the reasoning of a logical, left brain thinker. Best Case Scenario: Relax! You probably access both sides of your brain nicely. Most people are not extremely left-or right-brained. They can blend the intelligence of both sides of the brain as needed to make sure they are using their whole brain. If I had to choose one side of the brain only, I bet you know which side that would be. I’d go with the intuitive, right brain. Because if it’s intuition it’s always correct!

Spiritual Horoscopes Taurus (April 20 – May 20) – Happy birthday Taurus! May gets off to a slow start, but hang in there for exciting surprises! Mars and Saturn might make you frustrated and feel like things aren’t going your way – or that people are blocking your success. Meditate each day to channel your tension and forgive circumstances, so you’ll be open to receive upcoming blessings. By midmonth, you’ll connect with people easier and needs will be fulfilled. You could also get extra money unexpectedly! Gemini (May 21 – June 20) – You can start an amazing new relationship, or a current one will feel renewed and revitalized. You’ll also have appreciation for yourself – because you’re pretty awesome and life will reflect that to you! Prepare for these wonderful feelings by clearing your heart of old disappointments – especially meditate on how you pick on yourself. Ask the Universe for help to break your negativity addiction! Cancer (June 21 – July 22) – Pay close attention to dreams, since you can receive guidance on how to be more fulfilled. In meditation, visualize situations that make you happy. This creative energy has the power to materialize. You might also re-connect

with an old love, or even get involved with a forgotten hobby that makes you feel youthful and joyous. Remind yourself that you deserve to have fun. Make playtime a priority and a spiritual discipline! Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22) – You’re about to draw fulfilling people and activities into your life. Meditation and clearing out memories of old challenges makes room for the most “good stuff” possible. You have the power to confront your personality defects that keep you from being truly happy. Write about problems and patterns – then rip up the paper, or burn it to symbolize your freedom. Even if family members are stuck in old “stuff”, you don’t have to inherit their “issues”! Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22) – Be patient and quiet at work early this month. You could be frustrated about certain approaches or principles of supervisors or colleagues. Mid-May things clear up and you’ll have breakthroughs with job, salary and how you’re perceived. Problematic people will be exposed and you won’t be involved. Use this same idea with family issues. Just meditate and visualize light on everyone concerned without getting embroiled in their drama! Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22) – If you feel tension in romantic or financial partnerships, take a breath and make sure to meditate. Arguing, pleading your case or worrying won’t be helpful. Focus on letting go of past issues that are making you feel panicky. Be as serene as possible, and have faith that solutions will come mid-month! You’ll be able to trust again, and be relaxed in significant relationships. It’ll be clear the Universe is on your side and cares about your happiness!

Body Mind Spirit Guide | May 2013

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) – Any difficult circumstances in relationships are showing up so you can heal trust issues. Don’t react emotionally, but go within, meditate and journal about your intense feelings. After your inner process, visualize your hurts and doubts consumed in a forgiving fire that is purifying you heart. Mid-May will bring a flood of experiences that are safe, loving and enriching. You could even get unexpected finances! Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) – Relationships are taking a huge step forward! You could meet someone wonderful if single, or have massive improvements in a current connection. But, in order to get the most healing and happiness, meditate on letting go of petty irritations that make you less warm and receptive. Whether about yourself, family, work or life in general, focus on gratitude and tolerance! You’ll attract the best possible outcomes! Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) – Watch for negative thinking when struggling in relationships. You have more in common with your partner than your able to see right now. If single, there are lots of interesting people out there! Meditate on abundance so you see things more positively. Use affirmations. Also, eat well so your moods aren’t low from bad foods. Mid-month your attitude lifts and life will seem amazingly better! Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) – You’re about to break through dysfunctional patterns learned in childhood that hold you back from truly enjoying life to the fullest! You’re a fixed sign, and not a free-minded as you’d like to think – but the energies this month make you feel safer to step outside your box. You’ll be able to bond more deeply, feel a fuller sense of joy without cynicism. You’ll be more in your heart and less in your head. Still super smart – but also fully present and gentle without awkwardness.

Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20) – If you feel your spiritual practice is stale, try changing things up. Fresh avenues to your intuition open if you put something new in the meditation area of your house. Or try a different area altogether. You might have your quiet time outside – or experiment with a new yoga class. Try meditating with close family members, friends or your spouse. By the end of the month you’ll feel reignited in this area! Aries (March 21 – April 19) – The first half of May, take care of any lingering financial issues. Also meditate and see if you have resentments that are causing lack of trust or cynicism. Clear away these concerns that are draining you on a subtle, yet powerful level. Mid-month new energy comes in that will bring cheerful people and attitudes. But you need to be fully cleansed of tension to fully enjoy the blessings ahead!

Astrology –The Elements Everyone is born with something common to all – and yet unique at the same time. That is the gift given to you by the Cosmos – your birth chart. This chart shows your talents, skills, challenges and opportunities in this lifetime. It shows past life tendencies and future possibilities, your destiny and soul’s path. I am a classically-trained professional astrologer and have been interpreting natal charts for over thirty years and I still find analysis a complex task. Because of the value of astrology to everyone, I have tried to demystify and simplify astrology through writing several astrology books. There are a few simple things you can learn about your birth chart that can greatly enhance understanding and self-knowledge. They say “a little knowledge is a dangerous thing.” I believe, however, that a little knowledge applied correctly, can be very useful and is better than no knowledge at all! An example is to learn about the four Elements in your birth chart, i.e. Fire, Earth, Air, and Water -- the basic building blocks of this physical world, as well as the mystic fifth Element, Ether. Everyone has a predominant Element. An example may be a person born with the Sun and Moon in the Fire signs of Aries and Leo respectively. The Element of Fire would be predominant, and ex-

Clairvoyant Medium Intuitive Healing Spiritual Guidance Messages from departed

It is important to be aware of the makeup of the Elements in your natal chart because if they are out of balance, they can manifest as poor health; a lack of vitality or depression. If a predominantly Fire person has nothing to feel passionate about in their lives, they can consciously bring this element into their lives for balance and healing, and so with all the Elements. Chrissie Blaze In my new Class, “The Magic of the Elements: Astrology, Healing and the Forces of Nature” on Saturday, May 19, I will teach an astrological interpretation of the magical power of the Elements and their Nature Spirits, and how to consciously bring healing and balance into your life. www.chrissieblaze.com

presses the warming, radiating, energizing life principle which can manifest as enthusiasm – or ego. The Earth Element is attuned to the world of physical form and one can learn to utilize the riches of the material world or be bound by them. The Air Element is associated with the mind, its sensation, perception and expression giving a brilliant or fickle mind. Water symbolizes the cooling, soothing principle of sensitivity and feeling that can heal or make toxic.

A Gift of Love: Maintaining the Balance of Give and Take “A missionary serving in Africa was being transferred to a new area. On the morning of his departure, a man whom he’d visited several times when the man was ill, walked 30 miles to bring the missionary 30 cents. The missionary recognized how much that 30 cents meant to the man and was tempted to give it back. In the end he realized that he had given much to the man out of love, and out of love he must take from him as well.” Bert Hellinger, creator of Family Constellations, points out that when someone takes from another, he or she feels indebted to the giver and thereby loses his or her independence. The taker experiences the giving as an obligation and suffers a guilty conscience, which results in pressure and discomfort. The only way to settle the score and return the relationship to balance, is to give something back to the giver. In order for a relationship to thrive and survive, there must be a balance of giving and taking. No one can repeatedly take from another without experiencing some feelings of guilt. Guilt is then exacerbated when the giver refuses to take something in return. Feelings of indebtedness interfere with love with incessant giving and refusing to take, and ultimately causes love to die, and with it the end of the relationship. And for that relationship to be able to resume, a balance of give and take must be restored—the giver must become willing to accept something from the person to whom he or she has been giving. Every action taken by one individual comes with feelings of guilt or innocence in the other—and equilibrium must be maintained in every relationship if love is to survive—by maintaining equilibrium, with a balance of giving and taking. When one individual always gives and refuses to take in return, the relationship becomes more and more dysfunctional and destructive, and the giver destroys love. This causes the death of the relationship to occur—even if it appears on the surface to continue, it is actually dead!

There are only two kinds of relationships in which an imbalance of giving and taking is appropriate—one is that between parents and children, the other between students and their teachers. Parents give and children take. And teachers give and students take. Only in these two special kinds of relationships does an imbalance of give and take not destroy the relationship. Indeed there is no need for reciprocity—by virtue of the special nature of these two kinds of relationships. When the Orders of Love between parents and children are operating and intact, then parents give and children take. It is the responsibility of the parents to protect their children from harm, and to give them safety and shelter. This remains true even if the parents are deficient themselves—it is the responsibility of the parents to teach their children the skills necessary for their survival in the world as adults. In other words, it is the responsibility of parents to teach themselves out of a job! In these two special relationships between parents and children, and teachers and their students, the need for a guilty conscience from taking does not enter in. In the end, those who receive from their parents and teachers, go out into the world and hopefully teach and/or parent others. It is the responsibility, however, of parents to be cognizant of the limits of what they can or should give to their children, and that children simply must not take from their parents. Among these are their parents’ indebtednesses, illnesses, obligations, burdens, as well as any privileges the parents have earned as a result of their own hard work. These are things which, if offered, children should never take from their parents. Parents must be responsible for protecting their children from the negative circumstances that rightly belong to them alone. Children, on the other hand, must not take their parents’ fates, but leave the fates of their parents to them, and to them alone, to carry, to deal with, or not! By following these simple rules children are kept from harm, but when these rules are ignored, and parents give to their children harmful things, and children choose to take things to carry that are clearly part of their parents’ fates, then love is destroyed and ultimately love dies completely. These ideas may appear to be contrary to what some people learned about giving, but when considered overall, it is clear to see that equilibrium—the balancing of giving and taking—is the best way to keep love flourishing in any relationship between both friends and lovers alike.

Food Of The Month: Sauerkraut Sauerkraut is a form of naturally fermented food. All of our ancestors, wherever they came from, ate some kind of naturally fermented foods. It was the way they preserved their food. Archeologists have even found evidence that during our hunter/gatherer stage of development, people fermented a plant similar to cabbage. The Chinese have been fermenting cabbage for 6,000 years, and use the sauerkraut juice to treat various medical ailments. To create sauerkraut or any other naturally fermented food, you need three things: salt, pressure, and time. When you have these three things and cabbage, you create enzymes, amino acids, and lactic acid. Having a harmonizing effect on the stomach, this lactic acid bacteria prevents decay in the food and also in your bowels. Acetylcholine is also created in fermentation, which stimulates the peristaltic movement of the intestines - which is why sauerkraut is such a great food for your digestion. When creating sauerkraut, use good quality sea salt; there is a huge difference in taste and how it reacts in your body. Whether you buy sauerkraut or make it, there should never be vinegar

in the ingredients. Vinegar speeds up the fermentation process -only cabbage, sea salt, and maybe some other vegetables, but nothing else. It is made by first shredding the cabbage. You then place the cabbage a large crock and pound the cabbage with a wooden mallet. This releases the natural juices from the cabbage. You add sea salt and continue to create layers this way until the crock is almost full. A weight has to be put on top of the cabbage to give pressure. The liquid must cover the cabbage in order for it to ferment correctly. If you decide to make it at home, you will need a cool place for it to sit for 4 to 6 weeks. I suggest you take a class on how to properly make sauerkraut. Sauerkraut also has the unique ability to satisfy four of the five tastes. You have five tastes: sweet, salty, bitter, pungent and sour. When you sit down to eat, if you satisfy all five tastes, you can eliminate cravings. Sauerkraut is sour, pungent, bitter and salty. The only one it is not is sweet. And the sweet taste is the easiest to satisfy. All whole grains and vegetables are sweet. You should have a little sauerkraut or naturally fermented food at every meal to help satisfy all five tastes.

I’m referring to the use of hypnosis to actually improve the quality of how you play. It doesn’t matter what sport you are interested in -- it could be golf, tennis, baseball, basketball, or any other sport. Before explaining how hypnosis can improve your performance, it is necessary to talk a little about what hypnosis is. With hypnosis, you are in a very relaxed state of mind. The attention is far more focused and the individual is much more receptive to positive messages. The messages can get through to the subconscious part of the brain more easily. So why do so many people avoid hypnotherapy when it can be so beneficial? More than likely, it’s because there is so much misunderstanding about it. Let’s look at some of the myths regarding hypnosis. If you are aware of art & hand crafted items new age botanica supplies fair trade treasures metaphysical workshops psychics

these myths you would be more open to the use of this incredible technique! You might believe that you are under the control of the hypnotist. This is absolutely false. You are never under the control of the hypnotist, you always have the choice of whether to cooperate or not. In fact, if you don’t want to be hypnotized, it will not happen. This is because all hypnosis is actually selfhypnosis. It requires your cooperation Another myth is that hypnosis is a form of sleep. This is also incorrect. You are more relaxed, but you are in a state of focused concentration. You are not sleeping and you are aware of what is occurring. A common fear is if something happened to the hypnotherapist during your session and he or she was not able to bring you out of the trance, and you would remain in the trance state for an indefinite period. Again, this is totally false. If the hypnotherapist became incapacitated, which is quite unlikely, you would notice the silence and either come out of trance at that moment, or would doze off for a short time and wake up in the normal state. Hypnosis has been used for centuries, and in the late 1950’s it was endorsed by both the British and American Medical Association as a valid therapeutic technique. Hypnosis has been around for a very long time. Recent scientific data suggests hypnosis allows for more rapid results over comparative therapies. You may be wondering: how hypnosis can help your golf game, bowling score, or even your table tennis performance. There are many ways hypnosis can help. Have you ever played against an opponent and concluded, “I can’t beat this person?” If you believe this, it is very unlikely you will win. Hypnosis can help you change your outlook and actually help you start to believe that you can do much better. You may also start to believe that you can defeat your Body Mind Spirit Guide | May 2013

opponent. Often, when the game is very close, people begin to get anxious and as a result do not play as well as they are capable of. With hypnosis, one is able to relax during these crucial periods, and can thus perform at a much better level. The top athletes are very positive thinkers. They rarely let a negative thought enter their minds. Hypnosis can help one become much more positive, and when one is positive, one will play significantly better. It is possible that the person has some long held beliefs that are interfering with his or her maximum performance. For example, the person may believe that he or she doesn’t deserve to win. Hypnotherapy is an excellent way to get in touch with these core beliefs and eradicate them, enabling the person to perform at his or her top level. I hope that by now you are beginning to realize that hypnosis can indeed greatly enhance and improve your performance in practically any sport.

75 percent of People have Headaches Headaches affect all of us, but for a good number of us, they don’t have to. It’s a little known fact that a majority of headaches (75 percent of people are affected by this particular malady) can be caused by negative happenings created by a muscular and structural imbalance. TMJ (Temporomandibular Joint Disorder) begins as an imbalance of the joint that connects the mandible (jaw bone) to the skull, the temporomandibular joint. With three out of every four people weighted with TMJ, with different levels of severity, many may be walking around with it without even knowing. This imbalance can lead to a variety of issues such as headaches, jaw and neck stiffness, tingling sensations in tips of the fingers and toes and ringing in the ears, among other similar symptoms. Most of the time, we simply disregard these issues by thinking they will soon go away. Eventually they do, but they will continue to come back and come back until such time that it no longer goes away but becomes a part of our lives.

But we don’t have to let this imbalance permanently hinder our lives. There are ways to lessen the impact of the symptoms and routes to correct the imbalance. The first thing is to quit bad habits such as biting fingernails, clenching of the jaw and resting your chin in your hand. All of those habits and others like it will create pressure on the joint that will ease it out of alignment over time. In addition, drug abuse in all forms will affect the nerves and muscles around the mouth, influencing and prolonging the symptoms. Avoiding these seemingly innocent, everyday crutches will decrease the risk of symptoms. But if those pains have already manifested themselves, the best course of action is to seek out a specialist and begin the process of correcting that imbalance. Dentists with a specialty in TMJ are the ones who should be consulted, as family dentists are without the proper equipment and training to assure a diagnosis and properly plan for treatment. Once a patient is diagnosed, it’s then that treatment can begin. And although each case is unique — in that not just the original imbalance

Carole Lynn

is considered, but also the way in which it lines up with the neck and upper back muscles — the philosophy of all treatments remain the same: create a harmonious alignment throughout the body. I have never seen a case, that I have personally been involved with, that was beyond treatment. Options are always available and there are no hopeless situations. For most cases requiring treatment, the process is simple enough in that all that would be needed is a simple orthotic, molded to comfortably fit the mouth and painlessly shift the joint back into balance. I have seen headache, migraine and random-pain sufferers go through treatment and come out the other end overjoyed, as they can now live without the worry of wondering when a bout of pain might cause them to again miss out on a significant life event.

Identifying Our Emotions Last month’s article was about the feelings, love and fear. Out of that article, some have questioned, “What is an emotion?” Emotions are just another form of energy, based on how our experiences and goals synchronize with the harmony of Divine Source. They’re an internal guidance mechanism given to us as a tool by Divine Source. As discussed last month, there are really only two emotions, love and fear, and all others are aspects of them. If you’ve been pushing down, ignoring, and disowning your feelings, it may be difficult to identify how you feel. A lot of us have not been allowing ourselves to feel our emotions since a young age, when we were often told that our feelings were wrong or to ignore them, such as, “don’t cry.” When starting to identify a feeling, you can begin with a “positive” or “negative” feeling. A way of doing this is to think of a time you felt happy. Like seeing a child play freely, or listening to your favorite music. Feel where in your body this feeling lies. Often, feelings seem to reside in the heart through the abdomen. Those felt in the head are often really only thoughts. Feel the energy of this feeling. The vibration is higher, lighter. Happy is often described as “warm” or “expansive” and a brighter, softer color associated with it. That feeling indicates a positive feeling. To identify a negative feeling, think of something well, very negative or sad. Now feel where this energy lies; it often seems to be in the stomach or abdomen, sometimes in the heart. We have a negative feeling when someone “feels” “punched in the stomach.” This feeling usually has a different, lower, vibrational energy to it, and a darker color associated with it. Negative feelings can be felt when negative energy is directed towards you as in “if looks could kill.” Anytime we desire to be mindful of what we are feeling, what direction is in our highest good, we can take a breath, center ourself and check in. We can then choose which way we want to go; to our highest good or ego. Whichever way we choose, we are still on our path, we just might take a detour for a while. Most ways to help identify emotions have to do with going within. This implies some sort of meditation, journaling, and learning to be mindful, in the present moment. When we are not in the present, we are living in the past over and over, not resolving it but nurturing and being stuck in it deeper and deeper, until we allow ourselves to embrace the experience and emotions with it. We can then choose to learn from the experience and emotions, and then choose differently next time, changing our lives and getting back on track to our highest good. Divine Source, angels and guides can also be consulted 44

and asked to help us connect with our emotions, and to see the core issues we are healing in this lifetime. They need to be asked, as we have free will and they will usually not intervene unless asked. It is only respectful. They are always present, yet until you are able to communicate with them easily, meditation is very helpful. Some of us find we can actually channel via writing these guides. Experiment! Life is about experimenting, going within and finding our path. It is amazing how lives are changed when we ask for help from divine sources. All emotions are just energy. They are not particularly bad or good, they just are. Allow yourself to feel your emotions without judgment. Judgment is of the ego, and is a defense mechanism. It acts as a shield to separate us from ourselves, each other and God/Source, yet seems to protect us at the same time. When we are separated from our feelings, we are separated from our Self and Divine Source. All is One. As we allow ourselves to embrace and feel our emotions, not just intellectualize them, they will slowly, in the time and way which is to our highest good, be released. We can’t release what we don’t recognize. Identifying and using our emotions as guideposts allows us to choose who we want to be, and to just be. It is the start of living our own path in fulfilling our highest potential -- Being our True Self and maintaining connection with Divine Source always. It means Being and having a loving and joyful experience of life at this time, in this place. Enjoy!

Body Mind Spirit Guide | May 2013

Shame and the Cycle of Sexual Abuse Anything that is kept hidden in the dark will eventually be brought into the light. This happens because when something is suppressed it grows and festers, inevitably reaching a point where it can no longer be contained and kept a secret. One important example of this principle in action is in the realm of sexuality, and more specifically in the occurrence of sexual abuse. In the recent past, several well-known individuals and institutions have been exposed for both engaging in and hiding the sexual abuse of children. In every instance, what was hidden in the darkness was brought into the light. Understandably, this is often a topic that people would rather not talk or think about. It is also common for people to consider both the light and dark aspects of sexuality as separate from spirituality. The truth is, however, that all expressions of sexuality, including sexual abuse, are connected to spirituality because we are all One. The misuse of sexual energy on the physical plane is merely a manifestation of the darkness that is stored within the collective consciousness around sexuality. Separating spirituality from sexuality only contributes to the false belief that sexuality is not sacred and should be kept hidden. By talking openly about this topic and looking at the deeper truth about why sexual energy is misused, we can use our expanded awareness to shine light into the darkness and create much needed healing for the One and the All. An important question to ask is: What needs to happen in our world so that sexual energy is not used to harm others? The media and various organizations point to stricter laws and a relentless fight to find and punish people who misuse sexual energy, especially those who sexually abuse children. On one May 2013

hand, this outlook is positive because it speaks to an increased awareness and interest in sexual abuse. However, if our focus is simply on catching the “bad guys” who are misusing sexual energy, we will not create lasting change. To direct all of our attention outward and point our judgment and scorn at those “monsters”, our vision becomes too narrow and we lose sight of the bigger picture about why so many people (one in three women and one in six men) are sexually abused. So what is the bigger picture? Well, that is complex, but it involves all of the negative sex messages people receive from the time they are born. Teaching people that sex is a sin/bad, pleasure is a sin/bad, homosexuality is a sin/bad, contraception is a sin/bad, sex outside of marriage is a sin/bad, etc., creates a tremendous amount of guilt and shame within the human psyche and body. This shame and guilt about sexuality powerfully contributes to the cycle of sexual abuse because when people feel ashamed of something they tend to suppress it and keep it hidden. Since anything that is suppressed and hidden will grow and fester, this suppressed and shamed sexual energy grows in such magnitude within the body and mind that there is nowhere else for it to go but up and out, inevitably manifesting in a variety of destructive ways. Even people who do not directly receive these shame-based messages from their parents, church, spiritual texts, or some other source, they are still affected by them because these beliefs about sexuality are deeply embedded within the collective consciousness. Human beings are born with an impulse to express sexual energy. This is a part of who we are. To teach people that their sexuality is bad and to try to control this energy with guilt and shame is fueling the cycle of sexual abuse in our world. We must start looking at this truth instead of just living in the illusion that if we catch

www.BodyMindSpiritRADIO.com

the “bad guys” then we can heal this problem. The reason some people use sexual energy in such destructive ways is in large part because of the destructive ways our world views and suppresses sexuality. If people were taught that their sexuality is not something to be ashamed of, that it is as valuable as any other part of them, that it is powerful, sacred and deserves much respect, that it is not something to hide or feel bad about in any way, that it is completely okay to express your sexual orientation as heterosexual, homosexual, bisexual...all expressions are beautiful, then I believe the incidence of sexual abuse would decrease drastically and maybe even disappear altogether. One way for healing to occur in this area is to shine our light, love, and awareness on the deeper truth, which is that sexual abuse is merely a symptom of the distorted, shame-based beliefs that are held within the collective consciousness about sexuality. Through an illumination of the deeper truth, we swing open a door for honest dialogue to occur about what is really fueling this problem, and in doing so we create possibilities for healing.

Massage: Antidote for Stress Related Illness Stress is the clinical term used to describe our body’s internal metabolic changes to remain in healthy life-preserving balance with our environment. There are two stages of stress: alarm and adaptation. Our bodies have a limited supply of energy for each of these stages -- the measure of this energy is known as our stress reactivity. When we are in good holistic health, our stress reactivity is high, meaning that we can deal with stressors in a productive manner. It is important to note that stress is not the result of bad health or mood swings, it is the exact opposite -- poor health and mood swings are the result of prolonged exposure to stressors without restoring our stress reactivity energy reserves. Everybody’s stress reactivity energy levels are different; however all of our stress reactivity levels diminish from prolonged exposure to stressors. Our survival depends on our ability to respond and adapt to stressors, therefore, when our limited stress reactivity energy levels drop, our body diverts energy from other body systems; the first system is usually our immune system. Chronic intermittent exposure to stressors like work deadlines, stimulants, emotional trauma and even weather, etc. deplete our stress reactivity energy levels, which in turn, causes us to drain energy reserves from other body systems which is what leads directly to stress related illness. Stressors and the severity of the stressors can be real or imagined, fear, threats to self-esteem, challenge, change, injury, illness, pain, fear, excessive intake of stimulants, environmental exposure, grief, emotional traumas -- all are stressors that we can make even worse in our mind if we have depleted stress reactivity energy levels. Our responses to perceived 46

stressors are programmed from childhood into our subconscious. At our studio in Berkley, we offer a five-week, fully comprehensive and integrated self-hypnosis learning program, identifying negative subconscious beliefs, neutralizing them and positively rewriting the script for a life we do want to experience. Self-care and thriving is a habit just like self-destructing and living miserably is a habit. Which would you choose if you could? When we exhaust our stress reactivity energy levels, we exhaust our general health and mood. Signs of acute stress response or alarm stress response will then occur in the event of minor stressors; in short, we over-react and even experience complete breakdowns. The number one prescribed antidote for stress related illness, which I believe is all illness, is relaxation! That’s right people; this is why they have beds in hospitals! It’s the prolonged exposure to stressors which we call worrying, and now accept as our normal state, which does all the damage. The first signs of this damage are insomnia, restless sleep, poor digestion, over-reacting or flipping-out over small stuff, which our society is so familiar with that it appears normal or understandable. Relaxation is the cure, and massageinduced relaxation is the number one holistic prescription for relaxation. The body’s response to massage is not only the rejuvenating effects of the endorphins it creates, but the increased elimination of metabolic waste or stress toxicity. The energetic results of saying “yes” to yourself and taking physical steps to care for yourself, can only be described as magical, as the results will be noticed in every aspect of your life. Stress is defined as “non-specific body responses” that our body naturally does to preserve life and a healthy balance between you and your environment. These responses are internal with Body Mind Spirit Guide | May 2013

external results, and deplete energy reserves. If these energy reserves are not replenished through relaxation and stepping away from our stressors, both mentally and physically, then we will drain energy from all of our other metabolic systems. Our lifestyles of deadlines and expectations continuously deplete our life energy reserves and our lack of habitual relaxation and rejuvenation eventually leads to breakdown. Most of our lives are spent in a state of poor maintenance, and only when we experience a full system breakdown do we look for a magic pill. The cure is in our hands, a lifestyle of regular relaxation and rejuvenation. The stressors in life will come like clockwork, and regular relaxation, rejuvenation and flushing stress-toxicity from our bodies is the number one clinically proven prescription. You do the math -- regular massage saves you money and keeps you feeling great, optimistic, well rested and energized!
