Slowing Aging There is not one common problem, but a multitude of health problems, all with the same root cause. People today are dehydrated and nutrient deficient, which speeds the aging process. The many symptoms of aging and degenerative disease are linked to both dehydration and lack of proper basic nutrients. Many people have digestive issues ranging from bloating, gas and indigestion, to acid reflux and constipation. There is little awareness that we are supposed to have a bowel movement after every meal. Often, people do not even have a daily bowel movement. Poor digestion results in lack of absorption of the essential vitamins and minerals that we need to be healthy. As people age, they often need supplemental enzymes to help improve digestion, metabolism and absorption. The lack of the essential alkaline minerals -- calcium, magnesium, sodium and potassium in the diet, contributes to acid reflux and overall body aging and degeneration. These alkaline minerals are found in fresh leafy greens, and are essential to neutralize the acid waste that occurs as part of the normal metabolic processes in the body. Most people do not eat a sufficient amount of fresh organic raw fruits and vegetables, becoming nutritionally deficient, and overly acidic. Simple dietary changes can be helpful, along with specific customized nutritional support. Water plays a major role in the overall state of health. The human body is over 70% water. The type of water consumed August 2013

makes a difference in the absorption and utilization of water. Most people do not drink enough water, let alone the right type of water, that can hydrate a body. Dehydration occurs if the water consumed cannot get into the cells of the body. Dehydration has been linked to all degenerative and chronic diseases associated with aging, including constipation, acid reflux, allergies, headaches, arthritis, fatigue, fibromyalgia, Diabetes, and blood pressure issues. We lose half of our body weight in ounces every day due to perspiration and elimination. Most waters that are consumed take 3-4 hours to get into the cells. During the 3-4 hours, only 20% is actually absorbed. This is why dehydration is so common. It becomes very difficult to drink the necessary amount of water due to the type of water consumed. People become dehydrated because they are missing 30% of the needed water intake every day. Everyone needs water and nutrients, but which type and kind is unique to each individual. Specific non-invasive testing can effectively determine which water, enzymes and nutrients are needed to slow aging. Beneficial health changes occur that reduce the aging process when the body is hydrated, and specific customized nutritional supports are added to a healthy diet.

A Spiritual Journey to Wholeness In 1886, a frail and sickly young woman known as Myrtle Fillmore attended a lecture by Dr. E. B. Weeks. Myrtle was a woman with great faith and what she described as “... decidedly eclectic religious beliefs.” But her long struggle with tuberculosis had taken its toll, and she was searching for a miracle. At the lecture, Myrtle heard an intriguing idea. She heard that she was a divine child of God and that she had not inherited illness. She knew that she was a child of God and was made in God’s image and likeness. But never before had she considered that illness was not her birthright, that human limitation was not her true nature. Through that experience, Myrtle embarked on a spiritual journey that led her to a complete recovery from tuberculosis and the development of a prayer ministry that would become, Silent Unity, a 24/7 prayer ministry that is still operating today (1-800-NOW-PRAY). This journey would ultimately inspire Myrtle and her husband Charles to co-found, Unity School for Religious Studies, the birthplace of the Unity Movement.

Myrtle had great faith. She had strong, if “eclectic” religious beliefs. But it was a newfound awareness of her spiritual nature that lead her to health and wholeness. Research tells us that people who attend regular religious services tend to live longer, suggesting that religion may improve one’s health. Other research indicates that a daily spiritual practice such as meditation tends to increase health, improve concentration, lower blood pressure, and provide one with a sense of overall well-being.

What is it about religion and spirituality that improves our health? And why did Myrtle Fillmore not experience healing simply by being a woman with strong religious beliefs? Religion is defined as a set of beliefs often including traditions, doctrine and practices. Some of these beliefs may simply provide a moral compass that encourages participants to live a healthier lifestyle which translates to a longer, healthier life. But Spirituality goes further. Spirituality opens our hearts and minds to the sacred and the Divine. A spiritual journey is a quest for deeper understanding that transcends doctrine or tradition and leads us to understanding that we are “of Spirit.” And, being “of Spirit,” we are already whole, already complete in the Mind of God. A spiritual practice such as affirmative prayer and meditation assists us in recognizing this Truth and bringing forth wholeness into our human experience. This is what Myrtle Fillmore discovered, that she was “of Spirit;” that she was a “Perfect child of God who had not inherited illness.” That discovery and the spiritual journey that followed brought forth wholeness in Myrtle’s life and it can do the same for us. We are perfect children of God and we have inherited wholeness.

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.

Rev. Eileen Patra is the senior minister at Unity of Livonia. Unity of Livonia is affiliated with Unity Worldwide Ministries, Daily Word Magazine, Silent Unity and Unity School for Religious Studies.

The Magic of Healing Healing has been an urgent need since man first began to exercise his freewill, and live out of harmony with the Laws of Nature. In cooperation with those Laws, systems of healing have evolved through every culture on Earth, from the Asian and American Indians, to the Europeans, to the Maoris of the Pacific, and many other civilizations. One of the most ideal and safe of all the healing therapies is spiritual healing. It is so natural and simple that, sadly, in our materialistic society, it is often disregarded in favor of increasingly complex and expensive drug-based methods of treatment. Also, since healing became popular over the last two decades, the marketing of spiritual healing has unfortunately presented this wonderful natural ability as something complex, time-consuming and costly. The great news is that it doesn’t need to be. Spiritual healing is the birthright of every man, woman and child on Earth and, as such, we just have to unlock this power within us. To do that, we need the desire to do so – and a safe and effective technique. I was first introduced to Spiritual Healing at the age of 14 at a local Spiritualist Church; two years later I was privileged to witness, in the Albert Hall, London, miracle after healing miracle performed by a wonderful gentleman in rolled-up shirt sleeves. This was my first meeting with the late, renowned English healer, Harry Edwards, who is estimated to have given healing (contact and distant) to tens of thousands of people in his lifetime. I was hooked! I was, however, still >

under the impression that healing was a gift reserved for the few. It wasn’t until a few years later that I met the incredible Yoga Master and Spiritual healer, Dr. George King, who dispelled this myth once and for all. It was in 1975 that I was thrilled to be taught Dr. King’s fantastic, simple, effective and balanced technique – The King Technique – and immediately began to heal. I remember at the time the healing movement in England was still insistent that healing was a gift until Dr. King came along and virtually revolutionized this outdated movement by holding healing demonstrations the length and breadth of the United Kingdom. Suddenly the word was out – “healing is something we all can – and should do!” Shortly afterwards, I was selected by Dr. King to teach this wonderful Spiritual healing technique to others, and have continued to give and teach healing for over thirty years both in the U.K. and in the U.S.

August 2013

I have had my share of healing successes but the most exciting thing for me is that my students, some of them completely new to healing, also find that their healing really works – sometimes immediately. They are also delighted when they realize they do not have to spend a small fortune and a vast amount of time learning to be a healer. In The Aetherius Society, healing instructors around the world teach The King Technique – the complete technique devised and taught by Dr. George King – in only one day. People who have never given healing before, emerge as confident Spiritual Healers. I shall be conducting the next Magic of Healing workshop on Saturday, August 24 from 9:30 a.m. – 5:00 p.m. (See advertisement for details). This is a hands-on workshop where you will learn the same safe and effective hands-on healing technique that I have been using for over thirty years. You will also learn an effective distant healing method;

DE STRESSING YOUR BODY NATURALLY Are you feeling tension, anxiety, anger, depression, guilt or sadness? These are signs of stress. Even long after the trigger of our stress is gone, our bodies still register stress and it can be very taxing on our immune & nervous system as well as our adrenals. We need to take steps regularly to rebalance and destress our nervous system. Here are a few tips to prevent and eliminate stress: Reiki & Crystal Healing by a facilitator is a great way to de stress & balance our nervous system. The crystals & the Reiki work physically, mentally & emotionally to release stress, help the body heal, balance the nervous system & put one in a clam peaceful state of being. Taking regular time to meditate is crucial key to de stressing. Meditation puts us in the here & now, which eliminates worry. It is also good for re starting our nervous system, lowering high blood pressure & can help us stay relaxed & focused. Practicing deep breathing during meditation can also be beneficial because when we are stressed we tend to breath shallow. Deep breathing allows us to take in more life force energy & gets us back to our heart center, so we are thinking with our heart instead of our mind. Herbs can be of great benefit for quieting the mind & healing our nervous system. Some of the easiest ways to use herbs are in teas. There are companies that make good stress teas ░which include a multiple of herbs, tinctures or supplements. Helpful herbs are Kava Kava, Chamomile, Skullcap, Valerian, Hops and Rose petals. A good vitamin B complex is beneficial for healing & de stressing the nervous system also. Essential oils are one of the easiest to use, they can be added in a bath, or put a drop in the palm of your hands

- rub your hands together because the heat activates the oils & then inhale the scent deeply, or place a few drops on your pillow case at night before going to bed. Good oils for calming & de stressing are Lavender, Rose, Ylang Ylang & Chamomile. Stones are easy to use because you can carry them in your pocket or sleep with them. Dark stones like Hematite, Smoky quartz & Elestial quartz help us ground & absorb our stress. These stones need to be cleansed. Blue stones are calming & soothe the nervous system like Blue Lace Agate, Larimar, Aquamarine, Sapphire, Chrysocolla & Lapis Lazuli. Pink or lavender stones contain lithium which is good for depression. These stones are Lepidolite, Rose quartz, Kunzite, Pink Tourmaline, Rhodonite, Charoite, Morganite & Amethyst. Yellow stones boost our confidence & heal the adrenals & immune system. These stones would include Tigers Eye, Citrine & Amber. Clear stone like Clear quartz crystal, Herkimer Diamonds & Selenite aid in helping us focus & calm the body. I hope these suggestions are helpful & remember due to our stressful environment we need to regularly practice de stressing ourselves so we can deal with all situations in a calm peaceful way. Jennifer Vanderwal has been a Melody Crystal healing instructor since 2004. She is a Master of the Usui Tibetan Karuna Seiryoku system of Reiki since 1999. She offers classes in Crystal healing and Reiki. Her therapies include Crystal healing facilitator and spiritual counselor.

Healing Families Families provide us with some of the most profound healing opportunities available in life. They are the foundation for our lessons, providing each individual with the impetus to accomplish what they have come to do in this lifetime. As a healer for families, I have to look beyond the current incarnations and the present set of generations to identify and treat the causes of issues. The family you were born into was not a random circumstance. It was a very deliberate choice by your higher consciousness combined with a magnetic attraction based on unresolved issues from the past. The choice is based on the gifts and soul qualities you wish to develop and the fulfillment of contracts

for playing particular roles within the world story and the lives of those you will touch. Whether for good or ill, these influences are needed for the growth of others as well as yourself. Ultimately, the ill effects will be turned into positive influences through the journey of life and incarnations. During our current phase of evolution, which is a time of ascension to higher levels of truth, negative influences can heal much quicker and with less trauma and drama than in the past! Healing families is such a complex and interesting process. It becomes evident how the individual souls are working off of each other to evolve. Looking back through generations and lifetimes, I can see how souls have returned time and again to the same relationships seeking mastery of their own self through the challenges presented. Another fascinating element is the way

that a family may have a collective goal that gets worked out across generations. You can see how a child picks up an issue their parent has, which the parent picked up from the grandparent and so forth. Rather than seeing this as a negative, when looked at from a spiritual perspective, we see that these souls are all three committed to the resolution of these issues for themselves and for all humanity. They are developing soul qualities and strengths which are needed. So where the grandparent may have been totally stuck in a negative or untrue state of consciousness, the next generation is still stuck, but less so. They are then able to allow greater freedom and truth within their own children, who in turn may eventually release the issue entirely. This process contributes to the larger community of souls within the world, who will all gain momentum in their evolution because of the victories of others. A common way of looking at that

Healing Ascension Treatments Bring Body and Life Into Harmony

situation sees the grandparent passing down the issue and future generations suffering from it, which is true in a linear sense. The spiritual perspective shows a different perspective. It reveals that they all agreed, before incarnating, to work together to learn through this challenge and to overcome it. So we might see that the grandparent’s souls were courageous to sacrifice themselves to become so immersed in the darkness of untruth that they became stuck there; then the courage of the next generation to live through that with their parents and begin overcoming it. The next generation has it much easier for the work their parents did, although they may not see it that way! So I see children as benefiting from the work their parents have done, to whatever degree their parents have succeeded in overcoming the challenge. They then are able to take that work to the next higher level and evolve further than their parents were able to do. Everyone has the same challenges, just packaged differently. We are all seeking to realize our truth and our true potential and we all have obstacles to overcome that help us to do that. While in the outer sense those obstacles look different, from the spiritual perspective we are all learning to find the truth and power that lies hidden within us disguised by fear. That fear takes many forms, but underlying it all is fear. As a healer, my job is to help souls overcome the fear and related trauma that has blocked them in this and in all lifetimes so that they can realize their true self, which is eternal and made of love. Working with families brings amazing influences to all individuals within the group, helping each to move more freely toward their own truth. Often when people have me do healing for their children it influences everyone -- siblings, parents and grandparents in wonderful ways. And when working with parents, the children and grandparents receive healing. Their soul paths are so connected that where one person would August 2013

never ask for a healing, the effect of others within the family being healed changes them. Especially as the fear and trauma are released; in whatever forms and circumstances they show up, forgiveness happens. Forgiveness sets us free to move forward with confidence and strength and to evolve. It is a wonderful thing!

Can’t Lose Weight This May Surprise You… They all say that the more calories you consume, the more weight you will gain, right? At least that’s the modern weight-control theory, which is based on the idea that weight loss is a simple mathematical formula of consuming fewer calories than you use up. There are calculations showing that if you eat a small snack every day that exceeds your caloric expense for that day, you could gain several pounds in a year, based on the few extra calories in that snack. Our current low-fat diets are based on this theory, as, gram for gram; fats are the most calorie-dense foods we eat. The problem is it’s not working. Americans now consume dozens of low-fat products, from milk to cereals to pizza, and yet we are gaining weight at an astonishing rate. It is estimated that fully three-quarters of Americans are overweight. (Technically, 33 percent of adults are overweight; statistics separate overweight adults from obese adults. The 75 percent is the sum of overweight, obese, and extremely obese adults.) And we are gaining weight fast. Everybody knows we need to be more active and exercise more. But there is tremendous disagreement — and confusion — when it comes to what is a healthy, weight-regulating diet. There is evidence that diet is the main driver for our national weight problem. From a wellness perspective, weight control is not nearly as simple as calories in, weight on. Our weight is regulated primarily by hormones that are strongly influenced by the foods we eat. What’s the biggest culprit for putting on weight? Insulin. This hormone is known primarily for lowering blood sugar after a meal heavy in carbs. But it does so by storing many of the extra calories as fat. It also stops the body’s use of fat as a fuel. So if you are exercising to 14

try to lose weight, but have high insulin levels from a recent carb-based meal, the insulin will prevent your body from accessing the fat stores. Even more important than weight regulation for many people are appetite and cravings control. Many of my patients who are trying to improve their diets complain not so much about being hungry as craving sweets and carbrich foods such as doughnuts, pastries and soda. The problem is that carbs are literally addictive for some people, especially highly refined carbs like sugar and white flour products. Dr. David Kessler, former head of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and author of “The End of Overeating,” also implicates foods high in salt and processed fats as being addictive. Healthy fats are not addictive, but processed ones are, especially Trans fats. Dr. Kessler reviewed a study in which rats that were offered high-fat, sugary foods showed signs of addiction, almost equal to that of cocaine. The lead author of the study, Dr. Paul Kenny, commented, “In the study, the animals completely lost control over their eating behavior, the primary hallmark of addiction. They continued to overeat even when they anticipated receiving electric shocks, highlighting just how motivated they were to consume the palatable food. ” When the “junk foods” were removed and healthy options were offered, many of the rats simply refused to eat. Does this sound like a 5-year-old having a sugar tantrum? Studies have shown sugar to have potent effects on brain chemistry, affecting the opioid and dopamine receptors that are associated with mood and addiction. Sugar is a short-term analgesic, which means it actually relieves pain. Some researchers go so far as to call it a drug. Based on this information, I do not recommend most patients use the

“eat all foods in moderation” idea. If a food is addictive, the only way to avoid “setting off” the addiction is to avoid that food completely for a short time till the addiction is gone. A qualified Wellness Doctor can take you through this process. I recommend patients stick to the basic rules of nutrition I was taught 32 years ago in Chiropractic College: Eat only whole, intact foods; avoid the more processed “foods” containing sugars and high-fructose corn syrup; white flour products; and soda. It can be a difficult transition — these foods are everywhere, especially during the holidays. So many patients do well in improving their diets and notice great health gains, only to find that after a piece of birthday cake they end up on a “junk food” binge for two weeks. The best weapon I can give my patients against overeating and obesity is knowledge; the facts about hormones and weight regulation and the problems with low-fat diets, but mostly the addictive nature of refined carbs. People who have a hard time quitting carbs are not weak willed — the problem is the foods themselves. They are literally addictive, and food manufacturers are doing everything they can to keep them that way. This is why I always test my patients for food allergies before putting them on a weight loss program. If you’re allergic to foods, then you’ll crave these foods and you’ll never lose weight. Folks… weight gain is not your fault. God Bless, Dr. Michael D. Reggish, D.C., N.D. Certified Holistic Wellness Doctor, Naturopath, Chiropractor, Clinical Nutritionist, Applied Kinesiologist and Cranial Sacral Therapist with over 32 years of Clinical experience.

Different Women… With Different Problems… With One Common Solution… I came to be tested by Dr. Reggish because I couldn’t lose weight. I’ve been overweight for my whole life and have tried many programs, only to spend a lot of money, and not lose anything. A friend referred me to Dr. Reggish and the rest is history. For $45 he tested me for food allergies and told me what foods I was allergic to and to avoid. He found a lot of toxic metals and toxic chemicals and gave me some herbs to help pull those out. But the biggest surprise was I had worms. That’s right live worms or parasites. After taking the herbs, one day I started seeing the worms. I could see them in the toilet. I’ve done parasite cleanses before, but nothing worked this good. It’s been 3 weeks now and I’ve lost an amazing 38 lbs. Dr Reggish said the parasites will eat the good foods and leave the fats. I can’t believe I’m not on any diet and the weight is falling off. God Bless you Dr. Reggish. P.S. I live in Bay City and it’s worth the 1 ½ hour drive to see Dr. Reggish. Oh by the way, my friend who referred me to see Dr Regish also lives in Bay City. Serena P., Bay City I was reading an article that Dr. Reggish was doing nutritional testing for only $45 and at the time that I was reading the article, my left ear was itching. It felt like something was moving in my ear. I stuck my finger into my ear real deep and I pulled a little white dot out of my ear. As I was looking at this dot, it began to move. I freaked out and made an appointment to see Dr. Reggish. I found out from Dr. Reggish that the pin worm can be found in the ears, nose and anus area and that at night the female pin worm comes out and lays eggs. He said that the pin worms move around causing you to itch at night. Their eggs can be found in your linens on your bed and could be transferred to others easily. My 4 year old daughter is in day care and she’s always itching. Dr Reggish said day care kids pass the parasites to each other when putting toys in their mouth and sharing a toy. Dr Reggish gave me some herbs and I’ve been taking them for 4 weeks. I haven’t felt anything moving and I’m no longer itching. Also I’ve lost 19 lbs in 4 weeks without dieting doing his program. Thank You Dr. Reggish. Betty B., Romeo, Mi August 2013

I started coming to Dr Reggish because I was suffering with Chronic Fatigue along with bad constipation problems. Like I was going only once every 4 days. I was feeling very bloated after eating and was having bad hot flashes and night sweats. I’m only 40 yrs old and shouldn’t be having these problems. Dr Reggish ran a lot of different tests and found out I was allergic to a lot of foods. He also found out that I had a lot of toxic metals and chemicals in my body. He also found out that I had parasites and fungus. Dr Reggish said that parasites will live off of fecal material in the intestines and travel thru the blood to all parts of the body. He said that as the parasites are dying off, I’ll notice my weight will start going down. He gave me herbs and supplements and after doing them for a week my chronic fatigue was gone and I was having one bowel movement a day and sometimes two in a day. I also began losing weight. The first week was 12 lbs. I was shocked. I asked Dr. Reggish if this was possible. He said, well look at yourself. By the third week, I was having 2 to 3 a day. After 3 weeks, I’m down 24 lbs. and no more hot flashes or night sweets. I’ve tried everything for 3 years now to lose weight and could not lose 5 lbs. and yet Dr Reggish made it so easy to lose 24 lbs. I understand why all his patients love him. Thanks Dr Reggish for all you do. Heather M. of Livonia, Mi The Reggish Holistic Wellness Clinic

Winning the Game! When playing a game, do you have a strong desire to win? Chances are that if you’re healthy enough to be participating in the game, you have a desire to win. This innate desire to win not only feels good, it ensures the survival of our species on this planet! One of the games we play on this wonderful planet is the game of life. However, the difference between this game and almost every other game is that there are lots of winners. In fact, anyone who follows the real rules of this game can win. Some of the most important rules have to do with sleep, nutrition, and the ability to handle stress. Bodies require a certain amount of quality sleep and proper nutrition in order to function optimally. Great stress is created in the body when sleep and nutrition requirements are ignored. Although bodies are incredibly amazing, they can only withstand a certain amount of stress before beginning to break down. One of the first systems in the body to break down is the stress handling system, called the adrenal system. This system is comprised of two small walnut size organs that reside on top of the kidneys. While quite small, they are very important and extremely powerful. When not in fight or flight, the adrenals control the digestive system, the immune system, and the cellular repair system. They produce 30 to 40 steroid hormones, including DHEA, a precursor to the sex-related hormones, estrogen, progesterone and testosterone. When the body goes into fight or flight, the adrenal glands shut off the production of the normal adrenal hormones as well as shutting down the immune system, the digestive system, and the cellular repair system. The adrenal glands then begin to produce stress hormones which include 16

adrenaline and high quantities of cortisol. The production of these stress hormones facilitates the stress response. The stress response includes the release of glucose from the liver, an increased heart rate, an increased rate of breathing, decreased digestive activity, a heightened sense of hearing, and increased muscular strength as the body diverts blood from the surface to the muscle tissue. During the stress response, the body breaks down proteins in the form of muscle as well as draining the sugar stores from the liver. The production of energy no longer comes from breaking down fats. In the short term, this is an effective way to produce high quantities of energy to protect oneself; but when used for an extended period of time, it causes the body to become depleted, sending it into a disease state known as adrenal fatigue. Adrenal fatigue is rampant these days. Some of the symptoms include difficulty getting up in the morning, fatigue that is not relieved by sleep, lethargy, depression, cravings for salt or salty foods, increased effort to do everyday tasks, decreased sex drive and other hormonal imbalances, decreased ability to handle stress, increased time to recover from illness, injury or trauma, digestive problems, fuzzy thinking, memory problems, obesity, dizziness, fainting, allergies, cravings for caffeine and sugar, anxiety, infertility, persistent high blood pressure, arrhythmia’s, irritability, anxiety, panic attacks, sensitivity to bright lights, and being easily frightened. Feeling light headed or dizzy when getting up from laying or sitting down is another indication of adrenal fatigue (James L. Wilson, N.D., D.C., PhD., Adrenal Fatigue The 21st Century Stress Syndrome.) There are many more symptoms. This is just the short list. Four tests that are used to determine

if a person has adrenal fatigue include the Muscle Response Test, the Paradoxical Pupillary Reaction Test, Ragland’s Test, and the Salvia Hormone Test. The Muscle Response Test is a kinesiological test which tests for a strong muscle response in three key areas. In adrenal fatigue, the body will not pass the muscle tests in the Muscle Response Test. In the Paradoxical Pupillary Reaction Test, a small light is shone into the pupil to test for dilation. In adrenal fatigue, the pupil will dilate and re-open over and over again. The two most conclusive of these tests include Raglan’s Test and the Saliva Hormone Test when performed by a reputable lab. In Ragland’s Test, a blood pressure reading is taken while lying down quietly for a short period of time, approximately 5 minutes, and then immediately taken again upon standing. The blood pressure (BP) reading should rise by 10 points at the time of standing. Failure of the BP to rise is a sign of adrenal fatigue. This test shows that the adrenal hormone responsible for constricting the blood vessels and ensuring blood flow to the brain is not functioning. In the Saliva Hormone Test, saliva is collected four times throughout a day. Cortisol levels are measured through these samples and graphed. When cortisol levels are appropriately high in the morning, you can wake up normally. If they drop appropriately low at bedtime, you can fall asleep easily at night. Adrenal fatigue is indicated when the cortisol levels do not follow this pattern. If you think you may have adrenal fatigue, it is important to begin repairing your adrenal glands as soon as possible before more damage is done. You would be wise to find a holistic doctor who is well versed in dealing with adrenal issues to help you with the many aspects to recovery. New technologies are now available

Rock of the Month: Moldavite We have a certain curiosity about the healing properties of stones. Folks are always wondering about the synergistic effects of using certain stones together. It is said that by combining 12 specific stones, you can speed up the evolution of your consciousness and discover your life’s purpose. Information is limited on this topic, but what I have discovered suggests that there are 12 stones which, when used in combination, create a powerful energy that rapidly sweeps you on the spiritual path, increases your vibration, connects you to your spiritual guidance, and activates your intuitive abilities. These are called the, “Synergy 12 Stones.” The 12 include: Moldavite, Tanzanite, Natrolite, Phenacite, Tibetan Tektite, Danburite, Brookite, Azeztulite, Scolecite, Herderite, Petalite, and Satyaloka Quartz. We discussed Tanzanite in May. This month, we will explore the properties of Moldavite.

Moldavite, from the Tektite group, is deep green in color. Some say it is an earthly rock that was heated during a meteorite crash, while others claim that it is of extraterrestrial origin, possibly an obsidian. What everyone agrees on, though, is that Moldavite fell from the sky. It is said to be the holy Grail, which was not a cup but a green emerald that fell from the sky. It is noteworthy that in earlier years, all green stones were referred to as emeralds. Moldavite was used as arrowheads and as a cutting tool. It has been valued as a spiritual talisman throughout history, and prized for its tremendous power. Discovered in the Czech Republic, the stone is said to bring harmony to marriage partners, therefore, Czechs often gift it to a couple at their wedding. Moldavite is used in spiritual development, physical cleansing and revitalization. Even people not sensitive to energy report a feeling of heat (referred to as the Moldavite flush) when handling the stone. It is said to open the heart chakra and stimulates the third eye. Some people experience a sensation of being lifted from the body when using the stone. Moldavite is said to work on all the chakras, opening blockages, clearing the wound, then restoring balance in the chakra system. Moldavite is a great ally for use in meditation and dream work and it puts us in touch with the deeper aspects of the Self. Its subtle energies connect us to the sense of “oneness.” It is a high vibrational energy and offers spiritual protection. If you are truly ready to look in the mirror with openness and honesty, the Moldavite will support you in the deeper work. If you are just dabbling in spiritual development, leave the Moldavite on the shelf. Pat Krajovic

It Can be Hard Keeping a Straight Face as a COURT REPORTER. These are from a book called Disorder in the American Courts and are things people actually said in court, word for word, taken down and now published by court reporters that had the torment of staying calm while these exchanges were actually taking place. ATTORNEY: What was the first thing your husband said to you that morning? WITNESS: He said, ‘Where am I, Cathy?’ ATTORNEY: And why did that upset you? WITNESS: My name is Susan! ATTORNEY: This myasthenia gravis, does it affect your memory at all? WITNESS: Yes. ATTORNEY: And in what ways does it affect your memory? WITNESS: I forget.. ATTORNEY: You forget? Can you give us an example of something you forgot? ATTORNEY: Now doctor, isn’t it true that when a person dies in his sleep, he doesn’t know about it until the next morning? WITNESS: Did you actually pass the bar exam? ATTORNEY: The youngest son, the 20-year-old, how old is he? WITNESS: He’s 20, much like your IQ. ATTORNEY: Were you present when your picture was taken? WITNESS: Are you kidding me? ATTORNEY: August 8th? WITNESS: ATTORNEY: WITNESS:

So the date of conception (of the baby) was Yes. And what were you doing at that time? Getting laid

ATTORNEY: She had three children, right? WITNESS: Yes. ATTORNEY: How many were boys? WITNESS: None. ATTORNEY: Were there any girls? WITNESS: Your Honor, I think I need a different attorney. Can I get a new attorney? ATTORNEY: WITNESS: ATTORNEY: WITNESS:

How was your first marriage terminated? By death. And by whose death was it terminated? Take a guess.

Can you describe the individual? He was about medium height and had a beard Was this a male or a female? Unless the Circus was in town I’m going with

ATTORNEY: Is your appearance here this morning pursuant to a deposition notice which I sent to your attorney? WITNESS: No, this is how I dress when I go to work.

WITNESS: No. ATTORNEY: Did you check for breathing? WITNESS: No. ATTORNEY: So, then it is possible that the patient was alive when you began the autopsy? WITNESS: No. ATTORNEY: How can you be so sure, Doctor? WITNESS: Because his brain was sitting in a jar. ATTORNEY: I see, but could the patient have still been alive, nevertheless? WITNESS: Yes, it is possible that he could have been alive and practicing law!

Friendliness First meditate, be blissful, then much love will happen of its own accord. Then being with others is beautiful and being alone is also beautiful. Then it is simple, too. You don’t depend on others and you don’t make others dependent on you. Then it is always a friendship, a friendliness. It never becomes a relationship, it is always a relatedness. You relate, but you don’t create a marriage. Marriage is out of fear, relatedness is out of love. You relate; as long as things are moving beautifully, you share. And if you see that the moment has come to depart because your paths separate at this crossroad, you say good-bye with great gratitude for all that the other has been to you, for all the joys and all the pleasures and all the beautiful moments that you have shared with the other. With no misery, with no pain, you simply separate. Osho The White Lotus Chapter 10 Commentary: The branches of these two flowering trees are intertwined, and their fallen petals blend together on the ground in their beautiful colors. It is as if heaven and earth are bridged by love. But they stand individually, each rooted in the soil in their own connection with the earth. In this way they represent the essence of true friends, mature, easy with each other, natural. There is no urgency about their connection, no neediness, no desire to change the other into something else. This card indicates a readiness to enter this quality of friendliness. In the passage, you may notice that you are no longer interested in all kinds of dramas and romances that other people are engaged in. It is not a loss. It is the birth of a higher, more loving quality born of the fullness of experience. It is the birth of a love that is truly unconditional, without expectations or demands http://www.osho.com P a g e 21

Receiving Love and the True Nature of Power Receiving support and love is one of the hardest things for people to do. Why does vulnerability and a feeling of weakness arise as love is received? Receiving is felt as weakness because we simply believe we are more powerful when we give. This belief comes from our hierarchical, scarcity-minded, competitive society in which we learn a power-over model verses a power-with. This belief also comes from our fierce individualism that has forgotten the value of community. From our mistaken definition of power we deny the very medicine we need to heal and express our gifts on the planet. On the flip side as the giver, even if you subtly see receiving for yourself as weak, what message do you think you send to whom you give? I know I can feel when someone is feeling even slightly superior to me when they help me. Their help feels repressing, sticky, and degrading. They may be giving the most beautiful gift, but the intention behind it feels unloving. Power-with means to welcome another to the table rather than throwing scraps to them on the floor. Giving while knowing that we are all an intrinsic strand in the web of life, frees the giver to be fully supported within his/her own personal life. The intention behind your giving will define your ability to receive. Give out of guilt or obligation, and you confine yourself, and the receiver. My teachers in Spirit gave to me this understanding: “Know they don’t know, but speak to the part of them that does know.” Don’t assume people know what you know; this will cause you to not share what could have helped them. Speak and give, focused on the wise, whole and capable being they truly are. Your intent and inner self-perception shapes the benefit of your actions. Thich Nhat Hanh teaches that you must take responsibility for what is within, and then serve. This is what he calls a true practice of peace. Likewise, you must come into greater receptivity of love through people for your hands, feet and voice to be used in a way that truly empowers. Who we are teaches another, not what we say. Thus you can only give what you have received for yourself. Receive love and ask for help, because when you do give, you will spontaneously realize you are giving to yourself.

We can’t do it alone. ‘Inter-Be’ as Thich Nhat Hanh calls it, or Inter-independence as I understand it, is crucial to happiness. The tree does not seem weak for receiving the sun or water, so why do you not remain open to love? Your fear of not receiving what you want, or being told no, tricks you into pathological individualism. The mind separate from love (ego) will always get us to attack the very thing that will save us. The killing of loving beings such as Christ, Gandhi, Martin Luther King is an external representation of what we do within. We isolate and push away love, clinging to stories and addictions as if they will fill us. We become the lonely ‘hungry ghost’, a symbol in Buddhism of a person with a tiny mouth, long neck and large swollen belly. The hungry ghost is never able to get full, constantly starving as it continues to consume. “The Dali Lama has said that North America’s plague is loneliness. We need each other.” The Dali Lama has said that North America’s plague is loneliness. We need each other. The community is the next Guru. Because of this need in our society, I am led to start a Community Self Acceptance Circle, the first and second Thursday of the month 7:30-9pm. The format is simple. A ‘talking piece’ is passed and you are asked to speak from your heart, and listen with your heart. Every third Thursday will still be the Self Acceptance workshop, Qi Cong, partner work, and Self Acceptance process 7-9pm. You are a complete part of a system, where the part contains the whole. Yet in opening to receive, you become more yourself. There is a story Joanna Macy tells in Active Hope, of two kings showing their power. One said, “I can make any servant jump off a cliff!” While the other one said, “I can have dinner at anyone’s table.” You decide what is real power for youself. But be aware, your decision will effect your ability to smile even on the darkest days. In service, Barbra White.

Heavy Load... A lecturer, when explaining stress Management to an audience, raised a glass of water and asked, “How heavy is this glass of water?” Answers called out ranged from 20 oz to 40 oz.. The lecturer replied, “The absolute weight doesn’t matter. It depends on how long you try to hold it. If I hold it for a minute, that’s not a problem.. If I hold it for an hour, I’ll have an ache in my right arm. If I hold it for a day, you’ll have to call an ambulance. In each case, it’s the same weight, but the longer I hold it, the heavier it becomes.” He continued, “And that’s the way it is with stress management. If we carry our burdens all the time, sooner or later, as the burden becomes increasingly heavy, we won’t be able to carry on.”

Embodied Practice: Unseen Energetic Boundaries and Healing our Relationships Decades ago the idea and language of setting boundaries entered into the American consciousness. Popular books promoted the idea of emotional self-protection and limit setting in relationships. In Embodied Practice understanding, a boundary is not a cognitive idea nor is it defined by our words or actions. It is an energetic container, enclosing our personal space, our electromagnetic field. This field, commonly called an aura, is generated by our vascular, or circulatory system. This flow charges the field, creating a true energetic boundary, extending out 18-20 inches from the body: in the front, back, above the head and below the feet, and out to each side. To have a truly effective boundary, one must also change the breath of life, which changes the outside of the aura. The lined and defined outside perimeter of our field is the first energetic interface with the world. So, for example if we tend to absorb other people’s moods, their anxiety or grief, a well-defined field would block their energy from entering our space. Similarly, if we tend to be uncontained, offering unwanted suggestions, sharing unwelcome information or opinions, leaking our anxiety or other emotions and intruding into other people’s space, then a welldefined outside edge of our aural field will support us in staying contained. When even one person in a relationship can maintain a well-defined outside edge of their electromagnetic field, relationship conflicts often begin to heal. In embodied understanding, all things are created first in energetic form. Boundaries organically emerge from this contained state: words and actions naturally flow out that keep us contained--not overtaken or misused by 26

others, spilling our energy and emotions onto them; nor absorbing theirs. The ability to sense and contain our energy is one energetic position of humans, which thousands of years ago ceased to be consistently passed down from one generation to the next. In Embodied Practice, students regain the skills and abilities to sense, move and contain their own energy. They strengthen the containment of their electromagnetic field, the energetic birthplace of boundaries, through the practice. Many find that their relationships at home and work transform as they gain the energetic skills to strengthen the boundaries of their electromagnetic field. One student, we’ll call Anna, found her relationships transforming as she gained skills. Anna’s lack of containment with her teenage children, offering streams of unsolicited advice and comments on their lives, leaking her anxiety into their energetic spaces, left them angry and irritated with her. They found continual fault with what she did and said. They withdrew into their rooms, immersing in their i-pods and cell phones. Occasionally, forceful and loud arguments erupted. They expressed contempt, instead of gratitude. She absorbed this into her energy system. The grief and anxiety this created for her spilled out onto them. Without the ability to sense where her energy field ended and theirs began, she intruded and bludgeoned into their electromagnetic fields. They were attempting to keep her energy out of their fields, so they could sense, and define themselves, but without the energetic skills to do so, they resorted to closing her out. Anna’s Embodied Practice supported her in energetically charging the outside perimeter of her aural field, making it less permeable, and so she leaked less of her emotions onto her children. As she gained skill in containing her

energy, and ultimately how to move in pulsating rhythm with her children, their anger and irritation began to subside. When conflict did arise, she no longer absorbed their words or energy. Not having to work so hard to push her energetically away, they opened more and their electromagnetic field pulsated in closer rhythm with hers. In Embodied knowing, this pulsation is the basis of deeply satisfying relationships. Below, Kiera D. Laike, IRW, Interrelated Realm Walker, and founder of the Embodied Practice, delves into the interrelatedness of our energetic containers and the functions of our heart and vascular systems. “In Embodied Practice we hold a functional knowing of one of our energetic containers: the electromagnetic field of the heart, commonly referred to as the aura. Our electromagnetic field is generated by the iron in our blood flowing in a circular pattern through the human vascular system. Our electromagnetic field of the heart functions and performs like all electromagnetic fields. It has strength and, when defined, charged, and contained in a rhythm, it functions to open and close portal communication via a fully-charged outside line of the aura through the breath of life. When not charged or contained, the function and structure of the aura are determined by the function or dysfunction of the person as described in this article. ~Kiera D.

Know Thy Self

ACIM. Everything else was a string of opportunities leading me in this direction.

The universe has a way of bringing into our awareness what is essential for our spiritual and evolutionary growth. For me, it was A Course In Miracles. Integrating ACIM into my physical life and spiritual being was a process of self-discovery and transformation, which still continues today. In the beginning of my “spiritual awakening”, the universe made it clear that I needed to take time off from my personal training business to heal my physical body. I was resisting the change at first, leading to more of what I did not want. After much pain and consideration I chose to take care of me, and went into seclusion. This “quiet time” was imperative in order to heal my mental and emotional distress, thus healing the physical. I began a morning and evening routine of meditation, reading and listening to spiritual material, and saying affirmations. During the day if I felt my energy being depleted, I would make time to do one of the above. I began to feel better within a month, but my physical body took more “time” to catch up. I began to realize that we can intellectually understand something, however it takes “time” for the physical to embody it. After reading an array of spiritual books and exploring many different energy methods, I began to narrow down what worked for me. The work of Deepak Chopra, Marianne Williamson and Caroline Myss inspired a passion in me that resulted in my life purpose, helping others heal through energy medicine. It is my belief that healing is not a “cookie cutter” approach, so I would suggest finding spiritual and physical methods that work for you. You are a spiritual being having a human experience, and you need both to integrate for a healing experience. I also believe that there is that one “thing” which transforms you and stays a part of you forever -- for me it is

Embodied Practice Classes

I did not embrace ACIM at first because the theological nature seemed to block the information. Once I placed the theology tone to the side, I began to understand it from the perspective I know best, which is energy and information. ACIM is the tool that helped me to piece things together and maintain a life of peace, joy and compassion. I was able to connect with the spiritual love that I am, guiding me to a deeper understanding with my innate abilities and helping humanity. We are experiencing acceleration with our spiritual transformation, feeling as if we are busier than ever and that we are being “pushed” to our limit. So for me, I found what works best is simplicity. I simplified the Course’s teachings into 4 steps that help me transcend the human experience so that miracles can occur. Is what I am feeling real? Am I in love or fear? Who have I not forgiven? Then I say I am willing to see “this” differently and detach from the outcome. The outcome will be determined if you are in fear or love, the universal law of attraction. Namaste’ Billie Tobin Energy Medicine & Spiritual Life Coach.

Energy Medicine The Practical Solution Decrease Stress Eliminate Anxiety & Depression Increase Health & Happiness Energy medicine is a complement to other approaches of medical care and a complete system for self-care and selfhelp. It can address physical illness and emotional or mental disorders, and also promote a high-level of wellness and peak performance. The result is a Bio-Spiritual Healing, which is a holistic integrative approach to healing ourselves. This healing paradigm integrates science and Spirit with the intention of promoting a model of self-healing and wellness consciousness.

Arhatic Yoga – Evolutionary Development of the Soul (Part II) Previously we discussed how Arhatic Yoga is the perfect tool for the modern mystic because it incorporates life’s happenings into the teachings. It provides the aspirant with a clear road map to heal the body, mind and soul and restore happiness, joy and wellbeing. When the causal point of one issue is cleared, improvements in many areas of a person’s life seem to happen all at once. This seems miraculous to some and impossible to others. But this is how it works when you change the underlying energy of a condition; you change everything for everything is related to everything else. Arhatic Yoga was developed by Grand Master Choa Kok Sui, the modern founder of Pranic Healing. One reason these teachings are so powerful is that Master Choa has distilled many teachings (both ancient and modern) down to their core essence. He has translated the esoteric into the practical. His brilliance can be seen in his synthesis of yoga styles. The Hindu scripture, the Bhagavad Gita, refers to four types of yoga. This is different from the various styles of yoga practiced today in the western world. These types are:

1. Devotion to the Supreme God & Reverence to the Spiritual Teacher 2. Purification 3. Meditation 4. Tithing and Service 5. Study Let’s briefly elaborate on each of these.

Raja Yoga is what most in the Western world recognizes as yoga. This label applies to the eightfold path taught by Patanjali in his Yoga-Sûtra. It includes meditation, asanas (postures) and breath control (pranayama). Kriya Yoga, an advanced Raja Yoga technique, was popularized by Paramahansa Yogananda. Karma Yoga is the yoga of action and focuses on service toward others. Mother Theresa is an excellent example of someone who practiced Karma Yoga. Jnana Yoga is the yoga of knowledge. It requires intellect, wisdom and inner reflection. Its goal is to understand and discern the difference between the little self and the Higher Self. Bhakti Yoga is the yoga of devotion. Many religions are based on Bhakti Yoga calling for prayers and devotion to God.

• Jnana Yoga (yoga of knowledge)

In times past, these paths would be focused on separately perhaps over numerous lifetimes. Today a synthesized approach is recommended to accelerate the advancement of the soul. Arhatic Yoga accomplishes this through the foundation of the 5 Pillars upon which it stands.

• Bhakti Yoga (yoga of devotion)

The 5 Pillars are:

• Raja yoga (yoga of kriya) • Karma Yoga (yoga of action)

1. Devotion to the Supreme Being and Spiritual Teacher is like plugging into the source. It is an unlimited supply of pure Divine Energy if you know how to access it. It is the source of guidance and connection to all. When practicing Arhatic Yoga you can be of any religion, for Arhatic Yoga’s teachings are core to all religions. 2. Purification. However, once plugged into the Source, the amount of energy that can be accessed is limited to how clean the system is for delivering the energy. This is why purification is so important. No matter how much energy you can access if it can’t be delivered because your chakras and meridians are clogged, it won’t help. In fact, when too much energy cannot be properly distributed, it is either wasted or can cause illness. 3. Meditations help cleanse and activate the system. They support the first two pillars. There are many different kinds of meditations. You may have even experienced some of them. Rather than using meditation in an ad hoc manner, Arhatic Yoga provides a specific plan of how often to meditate and which meditations to use. Each meditation has a specific goal some of which are to 1). Cleanse and charge the system, 2). Slowly, safely and gently activate kundalini energy, 3). Activate the heart and crown chakras and 4). Enhance awareness with and connect to the Higher Soul.

4. Tithing and Service is not what you might expect to find in a program for the Evolutionary Development of the Soul but it is an important component. But when you understand why, it makes perfect sense. Tithing and service are like an insurance policy. It introduces the concept of karma and teaches you how to overcome negative karma and generate positive karma. For indeed when you die, any karma you generated, good and bad, goes with you into the next lifetime. Why not resolve negative karma now so that you do not have to keep repeating painful lessons in this life and in others to follow. 5. Study is the fifth pillar and helps develop the mind and mental faculty. When doing powerful mediations there is a tendency to want to spend your time in the inner world. However, balance is required and Arhatic Yoga is designed to provide you with just that. The tools help you to integrate today’s modern fast paced life with the Divine. It is within the fifth pillar that we are taught inner reflection and learn to accept responsibility for our creations. If a person were to ask what one word best describes Arhatic Yoga, it would have to be “Self-Mastery.” Through control of thoughts, emotions and actions; the modern mystic has learned the secrets of the ages. He has transcended the lower vehicles and ascended to higher planes of existence. He is in this world but not of it. He has in fact realized Heaven on Earth and is the quintessence of the Divine in physical form.

Good Samaritan... A young man was walking through a supermarket to pick up a few things when he noticed an old lady following him around. Thinking nothing of it, he ignored her and continued on. Finally he went to the check-out line, but she got in front of him. “Pardon me,” she said, “I’m sorry if my staring at you has made you feel uncomfortable. It’s just that you look just like my son, who I haven’t seen in a long time.” “That’s a shame,” replied the young man, “is there anything I can do for you?” “Yes,” she said, “As I’m leaving, can you say ‘Good bye, Mother!’? It would make me feel so much better.” “Sure,” answered the young man. So, when the old woman was leaving, he called out, “Goodbye, Mother!” As he stepped up to the checkout counter, he saw that his total was $127.50. “How can that be?” he asked, “I only purchased a few things!” The clerk replied, “Your mother said that you would pay for her.” MARRIAGE... You may have heard about a new bride who was a bit embarrassed to be known as a honeymooner. So when she and her husband pulled up to the hotel, she asked him if there was any way that they could make it appear that they had been married a long time. He responded, “Sure. You carry the suitcases!” 30

Parenting and the Orders of Love Recent trends in parenting styles often place the importance of the children above the relationship between the parents. This upsets the natural order of things. According to Bert Hellinger, creator of Family Constellations, when children take precedence over their parents’ relationship, the children develop a sense of being unsafe. Children intuitively recognize that when the relationship of the parents is good and sound, they are safe and secure. Hellinger maintains that children feel best when they see that their father honors and respects himself, then honors and respects their mother. They also feel the strength of their mother honoring and respecting herself, and then honoring and respecting their father. When honor and respect between the parents freely flows, the children become a continuation and fulfillment of their relationship with one another—the completion of their love, if you will. This in turn creates a sense of security and freedom in their children. Although most of Hellinger’s early theories were based on the relationship between two parents—a man and a woman and their biological children— more recent theories indicates that with divorced parents who have remarried, as well as for same sex couples with children, these same dynamics apply. When parents allow their love for the children to come before their love for each other, and the respect and honor of their relationship, then the natural order is disturbed, and the family is in danger of becoming dysfunctional. To restore balance and reinstate the Orders of Love, the relationship between the parents must take its rightful place in the family system. Whereas in the relationship between the parents involves and honors the need for a balance of giving and taking,

the relationship between parents and children is not the same. Parents give and children take. When children are given too much, guilt is instilled in them and success becomes challenging. Or when too much is expected from children, and they become parent like, happiness as adults is difficult to achieve without hard work. When these natural balances are ignored, or when parents have been inadequate as parents, the children grow up unhappily without much success in their lives—from being given too much, being given too little, and from becoming parent like at an early age and expected to care for their sickly or disturbed or alcoholic parent. However, when children grow up and are able to overcome the deficiencies of their childhood and to live a successful and satisfying life, they let go of old resentments towards their parents and can live fully, successfully and happily. It’s important to note, that although it is not addressed in this article, the early death or abrupt separation from a parent early in life can have lasting effects on children into adulthood, and will be explored in a future article in the BMSG. Systemic Family Constellations helps individuals discover the hidden loyalties and entanglements with the ancestors, and resentments and anger towards parents. Constellations brings reconciliation and restores the natural order, thereby bringing with it freedom, success and happiness to all. The MIDWEST INSTITUTE FOR SYSTEMIC CONSTELLATIONS is launching a training program this fall for Constellations facilitators that will also be open to the public. Watch the BMSG or listen to BMSR for an announcement.

HOW TO STAY YOUNG 1. Try everything twice. On one woman’s tombstone she said she wanted this epitaph: “Tried everything twice. Loved it both times!” 2. Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down. (Keep this in mind if you are one of those grouches!)

Spiritual Horoscopes Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22) – Happy birthday Leo! This birth year you’re able to balance wants with needs. Make a list of your goals and wishes, then meditate with the list. See if any seem to lose their importance or allure. Make definite steps for the ones that remain, and take action to manifest them – even if it is just visualizing your life with that fulfillment. By month’s end, you’ll take bigger steps and have rewards in terms of work, fitness, home life or spiritual centering. Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22) – Venus is still in your sign for two more weeks, helping you feel beautiful and appreciated. Hopefully you’ve learned to join in the chorus of your cheerleaders! If single, you can start a new relationship through mutual friends. You’ll both share ethics and meaningful goals. Reinvigorate a current partnership by sharing spiritual activities – yoga, meditation, even art exhibits or walks in nature. Forgive past mistakes in love, so you’re open to present love! Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22) – Venus moves into your sign mid-month, creating a deep sense of abundance and gratitude. Relationships will feel centered and steady – a blessing in a Libra’s world! If dating, don’t overlook “boring” people, since you’re addicted to troubled souls on roller-coasters of emotion. You’ll soon see the merits of a grounded partner! Also, bring spirituality to your workplace, even if it is with deep breathing at stressful times to remember your connection with the Universe! Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) – Whether you believe it or not, you’re a gift in people’s lives! You’re not conceited; you’re recognizing the spiritual strength that flows through you from the Universe and into others. Meditate and get used to trusting this flow of energy. You’re important to others and they love you! Next, meditate on receiving energy back – like appreciation or gratitude. But also see loving support coming from others, so you can reach out when you need it -- you don’t always have to be the strong one!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) – Meditate to be better able to stay present with loved ones. Intimacy often makes you feel anxious, like you want to make jokes, get distracted, or even run away. By keeping with spiritual disciplines, you get more used to the sense of God or your soul being closer to you. Then you can feel less nervous about others being in your emotional space. Your individuality is enhanced by love, not hampered. Also, this month you might have unexpected financial gifts! Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) – Work on blending relationships with your spirituality. Meditate with your partner. Reach out to more people in your yoga class and make friends. Have a trusted pal help you better ‘walk your talk’ when it comes to living your beliefs (for example – trusting your affirmations will manifest). You might even discover a coworker who is into your style of thinking! Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) – You’ll reach a new level of success with work! Let your authentic self shine through, whatever the nature of your career. You’ll get more done with less effort. You’ll seem to have more money even if you don’t have a pay increase. You deserve this respect, so don’t downplay your talents! It’s a great time to pay off old debts – and even forgive old heartbreaks in love – so that you can open to even more emotional and financial abundance! Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20) – Relationships are in a great place! Don’t be shy -- let your partner know how grateful you are for him/her. Also meditate on your own wonderful qualities so that you open to the love being showered upon you! Spiritually, stick with your meditation and inner work – it’s easy to let up when things are smooth. But stay alert to ways you deflect or minimize joy – defeat those parts of yourself! Aries (March 21 – April 19) – You can be starting an ideal relationship that is a true blessing! If single, meditate and visualize the type of person who fits your spiritual standards. If with a partner, meditate on forgiving their shortcomings so that you can

see the amazing qualities you’ve overlooked. Talk about your spiritual path to foster more intimacy. Start a meditation, yoga or prayer time together to blend as souls and not just personalities – that helps avoid many “issues”! Taurus (April 20 – May 20) – Like Aries friends, you could start a relationship with a spiritual bond, or be infusing a current partnership with your metaphysics. But as Taurus, it’s easy to get in a rut and view people as how they’ve always been. Meditate on how your partner is changing and growing – and how you are too! You both have more capacity for bonding and fulfilling each other’s needs and dreams. If single, let the past disappointments be in the past. Believe you can draw a partner in a higher consciousness. You’re evolving and it reflects in your life! Gemini (May 21 – June 20) – You’ll have prosperous changes at work! There’s a way to blend spirituality into your job – or have things come together in your career that help you feel more fulfilled, even if it’s not traditionally “spiritual”. Practice integrating joy into all you do. It’s easy as a Gemini to have black and white thinking. Challenge yourself to see that all experiences and people are always for your higher good. Cancer (June 21 – July 22) – Many of your dreams are coming true! To stay open to even more blessings, meditate on the happiness of all people in your life – especially the ones you don’t like, or have caused you problems in the past. This practice will clear your heart of old wounds. You’ll also feel more worthy of joy. The more joy you have, the brighter your light that then blesses others. Instead of fixing or feeling sorry for people, be the example of bliss! Aluna Michaels is a second-generation astrologer and Soul Evolutionist practitioner.

Intuition is coming to you from all directions all the time. It could be compared to a group of powerful wild horses whose energy you would do well to harness for insight into every area of life. Here are three simple tools you can try, each using a different intuitive sense: Clairvoyance for Hiring Try this tool if you want to employ someone such as a house painter. Write the name of one possible candidate on a piece of paper. Jot down the name of another possible choice on a separate piece of paper. Continue with this process if you have more than two people in mind. You might end up with several pieces of paper with a name on each. Start the exercise with a prayer, blessing your activity and asking for the highest and best answer to be revealed visually, clairvoyantly. Put the pieces of paper in a row and relax with deep belly breaths.

Written by Regina Brett, 45 years old.

QUOTES A woman is like a tea bag: you never know how strong she is until she gets in hot water. -Nancy Reagan Ability is what you’re capable of doing. Motivation determines what you do. Attitude determines how well you do it. -Lee Holz Advice is what we ask for when we already know the answer but wish we didn’t. -Erica Jong Alchemy ! My studies of alchemy may seem obscure and baffle many people, but taken symbolically the symbolic gold of great worth, or the transforming Philosopher’s Stone ‘lapis philosophorum’ hunted for centuries by the alchemists - is to be found in man. C.G. Jung All I really need is love, but a little chocolate now and then doesn’t hurt! -Lucy, Peanuts All problems become smaller if you don’t dodge them, but confront them. Touch a thistle timidly, and it pricks you; grasp it boldly, and its spines crumble. -William S. Halsey 40

3 Easy Intuition Tools

Let your eyes get a little unfocused as you gaze at the slips of paper. One piece of paper usually starts to stand out. It may be that your eyes go to that slip of paper repeatedly. Other things that could happen are that one name seems to be in a bolder text or the paper seems to be illuminated. Use this as your right brain/intuitive brain input. It’s always good to check the person’s credentials, of course. That’s the left brain/logical side of the answer. This process works whether you want a new accountant, attorney, nanny, realtor, doctor, or anyone else to help you, if you remain neutral and don’t try to impose your desires on the result. Clairsentience for Judging Character For this exercise start with two pictures or names. One would be a mass murderer or other dark soul, such as Hitler. For the other, choose a saintly figure like Mother Teresa. Put the pictures or names in front of you. Start the exercise with a prayer, blessing your activity and asking for the highest and best answer to be revealed through your feelings, clairsentiently. Relax with deep belly breaths. Ask your body to signal you with a feeling as you touch first one picture or name, and pause to notice what your body feels.

Pay attention to where the feeling shows up. It could be a chill or warm feeling throughout your whole body, a feeling in your heart, throat, belly, behind your eyes, or in any number of other places. You will probably feel a heavy, uncomfortable energy when you touch the picture/name of the evil person and feel lightness or peace when you touch the other one. Try this process with the information upside down to see if you have gotten the idea. This is your body’s excellent intuitive communication to you so it’s important to notice the precise way the information is expressed in your body. Now touch the other paper and repeat the exercise. Now place a third picture or name between the other two. This could be someone about whom you have a question. Touch the papers on the ends to establish your differing feelings for the two personality extremes. Then touch the one you’ve added to the middle. How does it feel? Do you feel peaceful and trusting with that person’s energy? Do you feel some discomfort? This is good intuitive information to file away in your mind. If it’s intuition and not your emotions you can count on it to be telling you something true. Write down your impressions to see if experiences with the person you chose prove to be accurate. And your intuitive information will be accurate if you don’t try to get a certain result! Clairaudience for the Microwave Let’s end with an ultra-simple tool. When you are ready to microwave something, pause and request that you hear the timing to use. For example, if you are reheating a cup of coffee, you could have a thought that says 30 seconds. This would be the time to program into the microwave. Remember that clairaudience usually comes as a thought rather than as an out loud message. If you trust what you hear in your mind when you ask for clairaudient input, your accuracy will be very high. If the number comes into your mind visually, turn off the projector in your mind’s eye and ask that it come as a thought instead. You want to hear the numbers in your mind. Practice. Practice some more. Make building your intuition a priority in your life and you will be delighted with the results.

Freedom From Dieting

defense mechanism to create a sense of safety in the body.

Imagine what it would feel like to maintain a healthy body weight without having to follow a diet, exercise program, or other weight loss plan. Imagine never stepping on a scale again! Imagine eating whatever you wanted and not holding onto extra weight. Can you feel the freedom in this approach to eating? Based on my own healing journey with food, fluctuating body weight, excessive exercise, and experience with binge eating, I can say that it is absolutely possible for one’s body weight to balance out naturally and let go of dieting once and for all.

When working with clients who desire a healthy relationship with food and a balanced body weight without dieting, the first place we start is cultivating compassion for the part of them that uses food to feel better. Often, the part of us that overeats is not the rational adult who knows that eating three pieces of cake will make them feel overstuffed and sick. Instead, it is often a different (usually younger) part of us that thinks it feels better to be stuffed with cake because at least temporarily we are numb, and our guilt, sadness, grief (or whatever emotion) is more bearable. Seeing this part with compassion helps to break the cycle of blame and shame that often drives overeating and yo-yo dieting.

To understand how and why this is possible, it’s important to know that the body is self-healing, and as such, is always working towards staying in balance. For example, when you get a cut, the innate wisdom of your body knows exactly what to do so that you will heal. You don’t have to tell your blood vessels to contract to slow the bleeding or instruct the white blood cells to accumulate at the site of the cut. This is the same way a balanced body uses food. It knows what and how much to eat to maintain a healthy weight. You don’t need to count calories, exercise excessively, or deprive yourself of the foods you enjoy. Your body knows what foods to eat to keep you healthy and at a balanced weight, just like it knows how to heal from a cut. The foods that taste good to you are the ones that your body needs to stay balanced, and you will know how much you need to eat by noticing when you feel full. However, when we are out of balance emotionally, pain overrides the innate wisdom of our body. In this place of suffering, people use food to feel better and to stuff down painful emotions. When we eat to numb emotions, we become disconnected from our body’s wisdom and are no longer able to determine what we really need to feel balanced. From this place of disconnection, we might turn to a diet with the hope that it will help us lose weight; however, when food is being used to stuff down emotions, no diet or weight loss program will give you long-term results. From what I have seen, people eventually go back to using food to feel better and the weight comes back unless healing work is done. It’s also important to note that extra weight is a padding that acts as a protective barrier to help people feel safe, which is why it is so common for people who have experienced trauma to struggle with overeating. Even for those individuals who have not experienced trauma, holding extra weight is an unconscious 42

Another important step is cultivating more body awareness, both while eating and at other times during the day. This helps to strengthen the connection between the innate wisdom of the body and the conscious mind, so that we can better listen to what we really need. Sometimes we think we need an extra bowl of ice cream, when we really need to cry, talk to a friend, or get a hug. A great resource that speaks to the importance of body awareness, self-love, and mindfulness in healing one’s relationship with food is the book, “Women, Food, and God” by Geneen Roth. By using these tools and others, a person can release the need to overeat and can be freed from the endless cycle of weight gain and loss, and the resulting shame and blame that ensues. Doing this work heals our relationship with food and reconnects us to our innate body wisdom, which guides us to the foods, food quantities, and types of movement that will allow us to maintain a healthy body weight naturally.

Why have a past life regression? Having learned past life regression from several teachers including Dr. Brian Weiss and Dolores Cannon, I know that it can be very helpful for a number of problems. Many fears and phobias are the result of situations that have occurred in previous lives. In addition, many times we have learned unhealthy patterns of behavior which carry over to our present life. Hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s an interesting case. Years ago, a client was executed by a cruel leader. It turned out that in this life the former cruel leader was the father of the client. She and her father never got along and once she grew up she had very little to do with her father. You may think this is an isolated case, but we often come back with many of the same people we knew in previous lives. If a person wronged us in a past lifetime, or if we had a bad relationship with a person, the way we deal with this individual may be influenced by what occurred in the past. Most of us have had many previous lives. Of course, not every problem we have today is the result of a past life. However, there is almost always one lifetime that is affecting us today. When I do a past-life regression, I have the person go to the life that is most relevant to the present lifetime. It may not always be a life where something

unpleasant happened. However, there could still be important information. One client I had was very unhappy with her partner. During the regression she went to a lifetime where she was just like her current spouse. By becoming aware of this, she was able to have more compassion for her partner. Another person who was having a difficult life went to a lifetime which was very uncomplicated and peaceful. Seeing that she had this kind of lifetime before had a very positive impact on her now. There are always good lessons to be learned from our previous lifetimes. Even if your current problems have nothing to do with the past, there is still a very good reason to do this kind of session. With the method I use, which was developed by Dolores Cannon, you not only experience a past life, but you then go to the Super-conscious level. This is the part of the session where you can get help for any problem you are experiencing now. Many individuals that I see have problems with their physical health. When we go to the Super-conscious level, they are able to find out why they have the problem (Not the obvious reason but the overriding reason or karmic reason). When we ask the enlightened beings on the other side what is the best way to deal with the problem, they are always willing to give the best and most truthful answer. For example, if you get migraine headaches, you could ask the Super-conscious art & hand crafted items new age botanica supplies fair trade treasures metaphysical workshops psychics

why this occurs. They would not only explain the reason you are getting them, but they would also tell you what you need to do to overcome the difficulty. Regardless of the problem, they will let you know what will be most helpful. This goes much farther than just physical problems. If you cannot stand your job, they will help you understand what the best career would be for you. If you are having problems with your relationship, they can tell you if you are with the right person, and if so, what steps would be most helpful for your relationship. Some people want to know if they should move to another location. Again the beings at the Super-conscious level will give you the best answer. Are you beginning to realize how wonderful it is to have this kind of resource available? Why would you not want to get answers that could change your life?

Vulnerability

choices, or not acknowledging our feelings, also separates us from the inner knowing of our divinity and how we create our own existence. We give energy to our ego, our shadow self, and it grows. What we give energy and focus to always grows.

Do you ever feel vulnerable, shy, small and afraid, withdrawing from trying something new? When we have this feeling of vulnerability, we are not connected and acting fully from Source. When we have a strong connection with Source, we feel and know that we are invulnerable, totally worthy of being, existing and acting in our highest good. Vulnerability means we are in the state, the mind of materialism, focused on the body, money, relationships, career, what we can get, in this plane. Our connection with the Creator is not the primary focus of our being. The primary goal for our life is to support our Soul, connect fully with the Creator, our Divine Source, and not be waylaid by the distractions of the material world. We are meant to learn from the experiences and choices we make on the material plane; to learn to make those choices from a divine perspective towards our highest good, our own self-actualization, and contribute to the healing of ourself and the world. The material plane is the classroom for our soul’s purpose -- to become self-actualized and fully responsible for our experiences. As we are all One, healing and achieving self-actualization helps the total vibration of the world, leading to the healing, actualizing and oneness of the world and the universe. There is a part of us that is aware of this oneness. There is also the inner knowing that the way we experience life is due to the choices we make and what our inner thoughts and energy goes towards. For example, if our energy is towards lack of spirit, that’s what we receive and how we perceive the world. If we fill ourself with extremes, it will be reflected in an unbalanced life, and the world will appear unbalanced and full of danger and drama. An unbalanced life leaves one feeling vulnerable, like standing up in a boat. The ego loves this and will focus on the drama, further distracting us from the primary goal. There is a lot of energy in drama. The peace, love and calmness that comes with unity with the Creator, our Divine Source, may feel uncomfortable, creating inner and outer conflict at first. There seems to be less pushing of outward energy, rather, the focus is inward, and we have the opportunity to look at and accept our shadow self. Not taking responsibility for our 44

Being creators of our own existence, we can get comfortable, as weird as it sounds, to habits and limiting beliefs that we adopt in order to have perceived protection, invulnerability. We get comfortable hiding within our shadow selves/ego. It feels like home, even if we don’t like it. Everyone has something they would like to change. Change requires either a commitment to one’s Self, or we can wait until we have a crisis and then choose to change (or not). Feeling our feelings and acknowledging our beliefs, connecting with our Source, helps guide us if we give ourselves fully to the process, fully trusting in the Divine guidance, to grow and become responsible creators. As we become responsible creators and allow our connection with Source, we experience less vulnerability, therefore the vibration changes around us to reflect that. The vibration is like the pebble in the pond, creating rings of vibration and change. This is how we are part of the change, the growth towards healing, love and actualization of the world. We and our connection with Divine Source, our Creator, are invincible! And, the world comes with us, united in love and acceptance, knowing invincibility.

Body Mind Spirit Guide |

August 2013

Massage, breath and holistic health Our emotions, mental health, physical body and spiritual body are intrinsically related. When we are thriving and experiencing vitality, all of the above display certain characteristics. For example, our heart has a certain beat for love and a very different one for fear; we also have a breath cycle for love and a very different one for fear. We can only experience one emotion at a time, and the mental stories we tell ourselves generate our emotions. If we physically generate a smile, our mental body will match the emotional energy with the matching thought. When we are in love, our cells and organs excel and we are in alignment with our soul’s identity -- we become radiant. Each system or body has a knock-on affect upon the other; we can physically and intentionally breathe to known cycles. This knock-on affect will cause our heart to beat to its optimum rhythm of love, we will experience the emotions of love, and our mental state will match these emotions. This is meditation in essence. We can intentionally begin this cycle mentally with thoughts of gratitude, etc., which will have the knock-on affect of changing our emotions, and then the heart and breath rate will synchronize and create radiant vitality. We can also do this physically. A trained massage therapist will ground themselves before each session and continue to maintain a conscious proper diaphragm breath throughout the whole massage. This is referred to as ‘holding the space’ or ‘creating a healing energetic workspace’. The therapist will then bring your attention to your breath at the beginning of the session, and synchronize their strokes to gently elongate your breath until you are both breathing in synchronicity with each other. This is why it is very important to August 2013

choose a skilled massage therapist. The proper diaphragm breath will massage all the internal organs, pump the deep lymphatic system and cause all of the glands and organs to come into homeostasis or optimum healing symbiosis. This happens amazingly fast and has profound long lasting health qualities and attributes. For a deeper and more concise understanding of the breath and breathing cycles, here is what breath technician Sue Birkam

“All the principles of heaven and earth are living inside you. Life itself is truth, and this will never change. Everything in heaven and earth breathes. Breath is the thread that ties creation together.”

~Morihei Ueshiba

has to say: “The essential function in order to live is breathing, yet is the one thing we take for granted and really never give a second thought to. Think of breathing as a science -- proper breathing is connected to functioning and healthy internal systems and organs.” How often do you notice your breath when you wake up in the morning and throughout your day? Until I learned to pay attention and then learned the importance of the breath and its relationship to health, I too never gave it much thought -- it just happens. Breathing techniques are essential during yoga and meditation, but how often do you consciously breathe throughout your day? Did you know that the manner in which you breathe is vital to extending your life? Breathing affects all of your systems including your internal organs, nervous system,

www.BodyMindSpiritRADIO.com

circulatory system, the brains proper functioning and your level of energy. You might think breathing is a natural part of living and if you are reading this you are definitely breathing! For many of us, the last time we were breathing properly was when we were born -- but how did this change? Life and its stressors, fears and excitement is how we moved away from natural breathing. Learning the science of breathing through techniques that incorporate low, mid and high level breathing, along with creating a full breath and practicing daily so that it becomes your natural competency, is how to return to this natural state. Many of us have become accustomed to breathing from the upper level of the chest and lungs known as high breathing, and throughout the day we frequently shallow breathe and unconsciously hold our breath. This type of breathing exerts far too much energy and reaps no benefit to your internal systems or organs, except to keep you alive. Learning how to breathe as many yogis call, “the complete breath” is the most beneficial to your health. In addition, there are many forms of breathing besides the complete breath that can enhance and heal specific challenges such as poor circulation, and reducing stress and anxiety in the nervous system. They also increase brain function and improve energy levels. Namaste, Aoghain Lakes McLocha At The Balance, we focus on educating you on the importance of breathing. Beginning mid-August, you will have the opportunity to attend classes focused on breathing techniques.

August Food of the Month: Amaranth “What should I eat for breakfast?” A question I am asked all the time. My answer is always the same, soup. I usually get strange looks for my answer because in our culture it seems foreign. Our culture is used to sweet foods for breakfast -- sugar cereal, muffins or donuts. Although these choices can be an occasional treat, a staple breakfast should be more nutritional. Traditional cultures eat leftovers, soups, or a whole grain gruel for the first meal of the day. It is easy to make soups and you can put all kinds of different vegetables, whole grains, and beans in a breakfast soup. All the foods you need to get you started for a healthy day. Amaranth is a good whole grain to put in your soups because it will help thicken the soup. And being one of the signature whole grains of the summer, it will not impart heat when eaten every day. Amaranth was the sacred food of the Aztecs. It is so nutrient dense that when it is consumed, there is no malnutrition. Very high in calcium and protein, it is classified as a whole grain, which means it gives you energy by releasing glucose very slowly into your system. Amaranth is a member of the goosefoot family related to quinoa. It is the smallest of the whole grains and one plant can produce up to 50 thousand seeds! Because it is so small, it can be

difficult to cook and be enjoyed. I find it combines very well with other grains, quinoa in particular. When amaranth cooks up, it becomes very creamy, almost gummy, and tends to have a thick consistency. When you put it in soups it thickens the soup and adds a sweet nutty taste. I suggest you make a big pot of soup one day a week when you have time, and then you will have it made for breakfast all week. An ingredient you may have a question about is wakame. It is a sea vegetable. You will find it dried in a plastic bag sold at your local health food store. Sea vegetables are the most nutrient dense food on the planet. They are high in iron, calcium, B vitamins, protein, and have strong cleansing properties. The taste is slightly bitter, so don’t use a lot. And because they are so nutrient dense, a little bit goes a long way. VAL’S UPCOMING CLASSES 08/07 All New Recipes! Cool Refreshing Salads For The Summer. 6:30-9pm $40.
