Our Founding Vision… “I was standing on the highest mountain of them all, and round about beneath me was the whole hoop of the world. And while I stood there I saw more than I can tell and I understood more than I saw; for I was seeing in a sacred manner the shapes of all things in the spirit, and the shape of all shapes as they must live together like one being. And I saw that the sacred hoop of my people was one of many hoops that made one circle, wide as daylight and as starlight, and in the center grew one mighty flowering tree to shelter all children of one mother and one father. And I saw that it was holy.” Black Elk’s Vision (1862 - 1950)

Last summer we took a driving trip. Most of the time we used the GPS; when we got into the less populated states it often failed. The first time it happened we were unprepared. It was a bright sunny day, there wasn't a cloud in the sky. Suddenly, it turned dark and started to storm so we turned on the GPS and asked where the next motel was. It told us it was over 200 miles away. It got darker and darker - - it was so dark it was like midnight. We turned back and went to the nearest city which was only 30 miles behind us. There we got a room. The next day when we started out we found that there was a motel only 5 miles from where we'd turned around. Things went fairly well from there, so we figured that either the database for that part of the country was not good or the storm had effected it. In either case, we went on. We drove through Glacier National Park, through Mount Rainier and out to Olympia and everything seemed to be going fine. And then we turned back towards Michigan, driving through Oregon. The first indication that the database was not quite right was when the GPS showed our location about 500 feet off the road. We found this quite amusing! We drove through small cities and it showed no roads other than the one we were on. We went on for a while trying to pick up a new GPS from a different company. The second GPS had a database that seemed better, but had other flaws which we found quite annoying! As we neared the end of the trip we told the GPS that we wanted to go home. It told us that there were over 50 hours of driving time, which would push us beyond what we wanted to drive in the daytime. So, we decided not to make any intermediate stops. That night we checked a map and it looked like only 2 to 3 days of driving. (The GPS told us to take a turn that would've taken us back out west!) We decided to route ourselves using the map. As we drove that day, the GPS indicated that there were 51 hours of drive time left. As we passed through a small city, it suddenly changed and said there were only 16 hours of drive time left! Many of us put our trust in technology and it often works very well. People also start to think that technology is always right, yet, technology does fail. We need to understand when it is working and when it is not. It doesn't matter what type of technology; whether it is something simple, like a GPS, or something more obscure and life-threatening like medical technology. We need to think and make our own decisions - like us on the trip. When things don't look right we need to seek an alternate source and decide which is correct. Like the GPS, sometimes older methods, such as a map, yield a better result. One does

not preclude the other. When used together we sometimes get a better, safer and more reliable result.

Technologists often try to make us believe that the old solutions don't work. In most cases, like with the GPS, the old methods are the technologies that are used as its foundation. The old paper maps have been digitized and form the foundation for the GPS navigation systems. Most medications come from traditional herbs that have been used for many centuries. Even some of the most steadfast of these, like aspirin, are derived from the American Indian headache remedy, willow tea.

Get Real!

By Suzanne Giesemann

I began my spiritual journey after the death of my step-daughter, Susan. Since then, my view of life and my understanding of reality have expanded far beyond that which I held for the majority of my life. I used to hope this life wasn't all there is. I used to believe there was more than meets the eye and that all we see is organized and coordinated by a loving Creator. The thing is, I don't believe that anymore. I KNOW it's true. Belief leaves room for doubt; knowing comes from personal experience. That personal experience has come from giving somewhere around 700 private readings as a medium, sharing evidential details from those who have passed with their loved ones who sit across from me. That personal experience has also come from sharing spiritual insights from another dimension in hundreds of group sessions. That unshakeable confidence that this life is not all there is comes from the personal experience of other worlds in my daily meditation. Those experiences have changed me irreversibly, and that's all right with me. I have no desire to go back to the emotional roller coaster ride I used to experience. I'll take balance over turmoil any day. Those experiences have helped me to see the essence of spirit in everyone I meet, and I'll take love over fear and judgment as well. These changes haven't been without adjustment. The other day I set the newspaper aside after reading a story steeped in negativity. I turned to my husband and admitted that it's not easy walking in two worlds at once. When you regularly experience realms where love is felt and expressed as the principle emotion, it's sometimes a challenge to soldier on in this one. It's easy to get dragged down by violence on TV, in movies, and in the May 2014

news. It's easy to get discouraged with folks who haven't yet realized we are all spirit-beings here and now. So I've made a deliberate choice to see only goodness. Does that make me a Pollyanna? Yes, it does. Call me naïve, but I like feeling happy and loving no matter what. A good friend recently shared similar loving views of, "Why can't we all just get along?" with her cousin. The guy wrote back to my fellow Pollyanna and told her to, "Get real." To him, reality is a harsh, dog-eat-dog world where it's every man for himself. The question is: What is real? As I continue to experience first-hand, there's more than one reality. Perception is reality. If you perceive this world as dangerous, evil, and filled with hate, then that will be your reality. If you focus on the positive, that will be your experience. Nobody ever said this life is easy. It's hard to stay positive and balanced when folks around you aren't. It's hard to see the bright side when journalists sell newspapers by ignoring good news, politicians win votes by slinging mud, and Hollywood continues to blow things up just for fun. Being peaceful and loving is a choice in this realm of duality. When you make the choice to focus your perception on being the expression of love, your whole reality shifts. So go ahead. Get real! But first decide; which version of "real" will you choose? Suzanne Giesemann, acclaimed author of 10 books, teacher of personal transformation and evidential medium, captivates audiences as she brings hope, healing, and comfort through her work. Suzanne addresses questions about the purpose of life, the nature of reality, attuning to higher consciousness and connecting with loved ones who have passed on. For more about Suzanne and her upcoming event in Farmington Hills, visit www.LoveAtTheCenter. com.

The evidence given from those in spirit and photos shared by the loved ones still here in the physical dimension will touch your heart!

TRIBUTE TO REV. PENNY WEAVER You may have noticed in the last few weeks that there were many amazing celestial events: the pink full moon; a lunar eclipse; and the transition back to her full spiritual self of Penny Weaver our dear friend, teacher, mentor and Reiki Master, on April 4, 2014. The name Penny/Penelope, has been attributed the meaning of loyalty, capability, gifted and mysterious; the name is Greek in origin and literally means, Weaver. Weaver - one who weaves, meaning to interface, intertwine, interlace, to form a tapestry, to interconnect parts that may at first appear not to be related. Thus you have Penny the Weaver, Penny Weaver. It is this uncanny ability of Penny's to weave seemingly unrelated wondrous individuals together, weaving individuals together with strands of light with the intent of making this world a better place. To quote one of Penny's guide's and mentors, Carl Jung, "As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to kindle a light!" To Kindle a Light -- that is what Penny has done and will continue to do. That is how she lived her life. She kindled her light to family and friends, student and strangers, and oh how far did that light shine! Equally important to Penny was not only kindling her light, but teaching so many of us (friends, family, students, acquaintances) on how to find, acknowledge, shine and kindle the light within ourselves. By kindling her own light Penny inspired us in the discovery of our own personal callings, joys, hopes, purposes, desires and dreams. Her inspiration and holding the space allowed us to become the best person we were destined to be and thus to shine and kindle our own light. Have no doubt that Penny, now unencumbered by her physical self, will be relentless in the quests and pursuits to assist us in continuing on this path of being the best possible person by shining and kindling our light. Just think of the infinite possibilities that Penny now has to get her message across to us. No longer needing a phone, e-mail or physical expression, she may at any moment in time impress her energy on many of us at the same time. Watch for those signs and rest assured Penny will and already has revealed herself possibly as a gentle breeze, a copper penny found in some unique location, a sign in nature, seeing the clock read 11:11, flickering lights, electrical surges, power outages, pink full moons, shooting stars and the like. From the very first moment you talked with or met Penny, you knew you were in the presence of a unique, mysterious, powerful loving light being. There are those who say Penny was the first positive role model in their life. There are those who say Penny saved their physical life and those who say she saved their spiritual life. She has inspired many to take

risks, change jobs, change careers, move to new physical and spiritual locations. Penny saw people, events, experiences differently than most. She would see potential in a person, where this person did not. She would see solution where others saw problems. She would see prosperity where others saw lack. Where others saw problems, she saw adventures. Where others saw "end of the rope", Penny saw opportunity for growth. Penny had the unique gift to see through the eyes of source. Penny's eyes revealed her wisdom, her smile was infectious, her laugh and giggle all absorbing and she always spoke the truth. She was a magnet of white light and you were drawn to her white light as a moth is drawn to a flame. You just never got burnt. You would feel better just by seeing that she had sent you an e-mail even before you read what she had written; you would feel better by seeing her name pop up on your phone screen even before you talked to her. Being in the same room with her could make you feel more alive, at peace and in a better place. She had the gift to help us feel better. This was a gift she received from spirit and now she has returned to such. The word "Pennyisms" was coined by her students and these Pennyisms were phrases that Penny repeated to her students, friends and family time and time again. These Pennyisms signified part of her teaching vocabulary. One of the Pennyism that we have heard so often that related to her dealings with her "physical change agent" was, "Instead of asking why, ask what can I learn from this experience?" Other classic Pennyisms were, "Ethics are the Key", "Always ask Permission", and, "If you must fall, dive instead". However, most of the repeated Pennyisms revolved around the concept and power of LOVE and using this love to transmute anything. It is from these Pennyisms of love that we can pull strength as we grieve the physical loss of Penny. Love and only love will transmute the grief and sadness we share. Some of her most repeated and powerful Pennyisms regarding love include: "Love transmutes anything".

10 Body Mind Spirit Guide | May 2014

"Everything you do should be done with Love". "If you cannot do it with love, perhaps you should not be doing it". "All you have to do is hold the space in love". "Love allows the trust and truth to flow". "We hold the space by holding unconditional love". And finally, "Love and Light, Penny". So , if our hearts must break let them break open with love so our grief and sadness and loss can be transmuted by it. This grief and sadness does make one feel poorer at this very difficult time, and yet we are all so much richer for having had Penny in our lives. To have loved and been loved by her, to have experienced her smiles and laughs, her hugs, her teachings, her gifts, her presence, her inspiration. There are numerous Native American Tribes that do not have a word for "good-bye", as that concept of finality does not exist; so instead of saying good-bye to the beloved Penny the Weaver, Penny Weaver, the one who has inspired, taught, and showed us the way to kindle our light, we say, "Until We Meet Again". Penny and her beloved and cherished husband Howard, who she so often referred to as "her rock", have generously asked that any donations made in honor of Penny be made to The First Spiritual Temple of Royal Oak, 3224 Greenfield Road, Royal Oak, Michigan, 48073. Namaste, Stacy O'Hair

The Signs Are All Around Us... REALLY! By: Carole Grace Burris

As we enter the season of spring, we notice the days becoming longer as the sun shines and the temperature begins (finally) warming up. The grass starts turning green, replacing the dormant brown color it had through the winter months. Buds start growing from the barren branches of the trees, soon to become new leaves. Flowers start popping up out of the ground as the ground temperature begins warming up. We wake to the sound of birds singing and sun shining through the windows. All of these are signs that we have come to know, telling us that spring is here! Looking at signs from our deceased loved ones can be just as obvious as those mentioned above if we know how to look for them. Some signs that our loved ones give us are so obvious that we think it can’t be them, such as these examples: You see a license plate number that matches their birth date, their nickname or a saying that reminds you of them. You keep hearing the same song on the radio that makes you think of that person, perhaps it was a song they loved or sang. You look down on the ground and see a coin; you pick it up and the year on the coin is their birth year! You get a whiff of your dearly departed's favorite perfume or cologne while you're sitting at home alone - - and you're not wearing any perfume. Another scenario is when you smell their favorite flower or a flower they would give to you and you don't have any flowers around. It can be the same if they smoked and you get a whiff of that smell. Sometimes it can be their favorite dish. Sometimes it is not just about seeing but feeling, feeling their presence around you. Do you ever feel as though someone has stroked your hair, or touched your face, arm or hand? Do you ever hear their voice and think it's just your imagination? Being in the Spirit world changes the way they communicate with us, not about their feelings towards us. Our loved ones want to let us know that they still exist and care, and that they watch over us. They want us to know that they hear us and know what is happening in our lives. There are so many signs they give us; the trick is being open and aware of them. They can help you make that recognition in your life. Carole Grace

Soul Fitness for Inner and Outer Peace

$5500

It is widely known that prayer and meditation not only benefit the practitioner but also affect the world. My husband, Gary, and I were fortunate to meet Dr. Roger Nelsen while speaking together at Lynne McTaggart’s, The Field Conferences in London some years ago. Dr. Nelson coordinates research at Princeton University and he established the Global Consciousness Project in 1998, expanding the concepts of consciousness field research to global dimensions. There is now a network of about 40 detectors around the world that record effects of major positive events, such as global meditations. These detectors take data continuously and send it over the internet to a server in Princeton, proving a correlation between what we think and our intentions and the state of the world. For over 25 years, I was fortunate to be one of the close students of the Spiritual Master, Dr. George King, founder of The Aetherius Society (Please read the previous two issues of Body Mind Spirit Guide for information about this extraordinary man and Master). As early as the 1960s, Dr. King talked about the need for us to bring more love into the world, through prayer, healing and spiritual service. Many of the spiritual practices taught by Dr. King are included in my latest book, Soul Fitness: A 5-Step Plan for Inner and Outer Peace. Soul Fitness is based on principles of mysticism and Quantum Physics, both of which teach that everything is energy and we create our reality. It includes spiritual practices to bring inner peace as well as outer peace through the intentional use of energy of a high frequency. This is a 5-Step progressive and powerful program to help us align more fully with the power, strength, love and inspiration within us all. Soul Fitness captured the attention of international rock star/

metaphysician, Dave Davies, founding member of, The Kinks, who offered to write the foreword. In this, he says: “As a musician who has been on many tours and performed in front of many thousands of people worldwide, I have developed my own personal spiritual practices, drawn from many sources. However, I believe that the spiritual practices and wisdom contained in this book, Soul Fitness will make a profound difference to the sincere aspirant. The purpose of human life is the cultivation of spiritual knowledge, and you can do no better than to start right here. In Soul Fitness, Chrissie presents a concise, practical, insightful and indepth approach to metaphysics. I know that you will be inspired and enlightened by Chrissie’s wonderful and illuminating work.” I am now also teaching this Soul Fitness 5-Step Plan for Inner and Outer Peace in a class format. The first class will be held at The Aetherius Society in Royal Oak, on Thursday, May 29 (please see the ad for details). This class is based on the spiritual practices I have used for over 30 years. It will include harmonious breathing, setting up a sacred space, and more. It also includes dynamic methods of directed intention/prayer and healing, designed to bring the energy of Love into the world. I believe that where harmony exists, chaos cannot. One of our most important tasks, therefore, as caring humans is to learn how to radiate harmony or love to help transform our world. This is something we haven’t really tried, and Soul Fitness provides a way for everyone to begin. I hope you can join us for this two-hour class that will not only bring peace and harmony to you, but also will help our world!

How Rolfing Can Enhance Your Yoga Practice By Robert Auerbach

Siana Sherman, a yoga instructor, had a nagging case of sciatica. She decided to explore Structural Integration (aka Rolfing) bodywork. She reported that, “After each session I would go home to my yoga mat and try different poses. I was amazed to find that my body was literally unwinding. Each session would open up so many new layers to explore.” That alone might be worth the price of admission but Sianna found that by feeding the effects of these two powerful modalities back and forth, reinforcing each other, her sciatica was cleared up. Yoga a time long before there were yoga studios in most neighborhoods and instructors in many fitness centers, Ida Rolf, the developer of Rolf Structural Integration, was a serious student of Yoga. According to Rosemary Frietis, in Ida Rolf Speaks On Physical Reality, “In the years of practicing Yoga and discussing its principles, she was

establishing the basis for all her future work: that bodies need to be lengthened and balanced, and that a balanced body will give rise to a better human being.” Lower Back Because of the many overlapping goals of yoga and Rolfing (including greater flexibility, easier and deeper breathing, better posture and natural strength), it is not surprising that many yoga teachers and students have found their way to Rolf bodywork. John Curtis is one such yoga student whose yoga teacher had suggested he try Rolfing to help release chronically tight muscle groups that were preventing him from easing into certain yoga asanas or postures. Benefits of Rolfing John told me that among the many benefits he received from Rolfing, was a tremendous improvement in his mid-back, along with a “new sense of freedom of movement”, and a resolution of plantar fasciitis. When asked about the mutual benefits of Rolfing and Yoga, John said, “My Yoga practice had not been progressing as much as I wanted. As the tightness in my right hip was released by Rolfing, I found asanas like the Tree and the Triangle pose, easier to accomplish. I also found that my experience with Yoga gave me an intuitive understanding of what you were doing as you Rolfed my body—working together was like opening-up the petals of a flower.” Truly, Yoga and Rolfing are twin royal paths to alignment and being present in your body. Each path alone holds many benefits, but together they generate a profound synergy for transformation through that vehicle which is always closest at hand.

Spring Cleaning For Your Body

also release them too quickly. Using protein powders can help facilitate detox by reducing caloric load, and mobilizing toxins from the fatty tissues. Supplementing with yellow dock, dandelion and milk thistle herbs help to bind and remove the toxins, preventing a detox reaction.

By Carol Ann Fischer, BS, DC, ND

Spring is the best time to cleanse your liver and your body. All native cultures have spring rituals to help the liver eliminate stored winter toxins. The liver is responsible for detoxifying all the chemicals that we are exposed to through our diet, water, personal care products and the environment. Our amazing liver performs 500 functions. It is located under the rib cage on the front right side of the body. The following are some symptoms of a stressed liver: right side back pain, pain over the liver, right shoulder pain, right sided headache, fatigue, nausea, and irritability. What Causes Toxicity? The digestive system becomes damaged from excess toxins. They leak from the damaged gut into the bloodstream. The liver becomes overloaded attempting to detoxify them. This leaky gut can be responsible for poor absorption, fatigue, allergies, autoimmune reactions, and more. The liver will store toxins in body fat if it cannot neutralize and eliminate them. This creates unwanted body fat. The liver is an efficient fat burning organ, but when it is overloaded with toxins, it cannot burn fat, resulting in weight gain. There are several ways to help your liver. Detoxify Your Liver To avoid the detox symptoms of nausea, feeling sick, and headaches, start with a gentle intestinal cleanse. Sluggish bowels cannot expel toxins, producing little benefit from detoxification. Focus on increasing elimination, which will enhance liver and body detoxification. Fasting is one way to detoxify the liver. It can mobilize toxins, but it can May 2014

Use specific foods to bind the toxins and remove them from the body. The nutrients and fiber from fruits, vegetables, and particularly organic sprouts of cruciferous vegetables aid in the liver detox process. Beets, onions, garlic, asparagus and radishes are just a few of the foods that assist in liver detoxification. If eating these foods causes digestive distress, there are gentler ways to help the liver detoxify using herbs and homeopathic remedies. Homeopathic detoxification is a gentle, effective way to ease the burden on your liver, and to help improve digestion and elimination. Physician supervised detoxification programs combining diet and lifestyle modifications are available for those seeking significant health changes. Results include weight loss, and changes in blood work, including liver enzymes and cholesterol. It is always helpful to eat organic, drink filtered water (1/2 your body weight in ounces), and reduce your exposure to environmental toxins. Take advantage of the natural cycle of nature and use springtime to give your liver some help.

Honoring a Mother’s Energy by: Dr. William Karl, D.C.

So much to do and not enough energy…. if this sounds familiar, keep reading. This article is dedicated to Jessie for Mother’s Day; she is very special to me and has tremendous energy at the incredible age of 98. Perhaps she will be the inspiration you need to start making choices to help you have more energy! Jessie is currently my oldest patient. See the recent photo of Jessie with her daughter, Carol, in our May ad and you’ll see why she seems more like 98 years young. Although Jessie has advanced macular degeneration and hearing loss, Jessie has a great smile and a twinkle in her eyes. Jessie makes the most of everything and loves life. This summer, she’s looking forward to spending time outside, going on boat rides, and attending neighborhood bonfires. Another highlight of her summer often includes vacationing on Lake Huron where she gets around on the back of an ATV! Sometimes Jessie gets frustrated that she can’t see television or identify birds at her feeder, but she listens to books on tape and makes sure the birds have food. She often misses certain foods, especially sweets. But she is learning that sugar isn’t her friend. Besides, most commercially prepared foods don’t taste the way she remembers – not surprising because the ingredients are very different due to GMO’s, chemical excitotoxins, etc. To stay healthy and continue doing what she loves, Jessie’s daily choices are important. Although she’s fortunate that her mitochondria (her energy producing cells) weren’t damaged early in life by our modern day toxins, it doesn’t mean Jessie is set for life. She must continue to eat and sleep well, exercise, get chiropractic adjustments, play, and stay positive to maintain her energy. Jessie supports local farmers markets by buying organic vegetables and fruits, bringing back fond memories of gardening. I’ve heard stories about nieces and nephews who helped her weed her big garden when they were young. Without pesticides and fertilized with compost, Jessie’s garden was safe and healthy. For extra nutrition, Jessie enjoys a blended drink made with raw milk, raw almonds, raw cocoa, hemp hearts, Chia seeds, coconut oil, wild/organic blueberries, Nutritional yeast, SP Complete (a whole food protein blend made with Brussels sprouts, kale, alfalfa, etc.) and Dream Protein, a Stevia-sweetened whey protein powder. Celtic sea salt helps maintain her sodium/potassium balance. Together, these foods contribute to Jessie’s energy. To understand why nutrition is so important, let’s look at the science. Energy packets are produced by the mitochondria

in the form of a chemical called adenosine triphosphate (ATP) obtained through the breakdown products of foods. These special energy packets provide approximately 90% of our daily energy. Mitochondria are a cell type known as a prokaryotic, which differ from the other cells in the body. Except for bacteria, all of the other cells in the body are eukaryotes. Mitochondria have their own DNA that is different from DNA in the rest of the body. For optimal energy, we must avoid damaging the mitochondria. This isn’t easy because they’re easily damaged. Even the mitochondrial energy production process creates free radicals that may damage the mitochondria themselves. Food containing artificial sugars, altered grains, flavor-enhancing chemicals, and other toxins also damage mitochondria. In addition to chemicals added to improve flavor and increase shelf life, others are added for the sole purpose of increasing profits. Commercial fruits and vegetables typically contain herbicides sprayed around plants to kill weeds, fungicides to kill fungus, and pesticides to kill bugs. Corporate farms use antibiotics and hormones to fatten livestock for market. This practice of using antibiotics on healthy animals creates highly resistant bacteria, leading to other problems for us. Other toxins that destroy mitochondria and decrease energy include prescription medications, over-the-counter medications, beauty supplies, and fluorinated drinking water. Although not commonly known, mitochondrial DNA is damaged by fluoride. Since mitochondria are easily damaged, eating healthy foods and detoxifying the body to safely eliminate toxins is essential for maintaining energy in today’s world. Damaging mitochondria is a serious matter. Many diseases stem from mutated mitochondrial DNA or decreased numbers of mitochondria. They include various forms of dementia including Alzheimer’s, chronic fatigue syndrome, fibromyalgia, muscular dystrophy, and certain diseases of the eyes, ears, and heart. Every part of the body that requires energy to function depends upon healthy mitochondria for proper functioning. I utilize specific muscle testing in my office to check the health of mitochondria. For optimal mitochondrial functioning, I find that supplementation is often needed. Two of the most important nutrients related to cellular energy production are Acetyl-L-carnitine and alpha lipoic acid (Blaylock, Natural Strategies for Cancer Patients, pg. 226.) Other nutrients include manganese which helps convert food into energy, zinc, and organic copper. Copper and zinc work together to produce superoxide dismutase (SOD), a powerful antioxidant enzyme that helps protect the mitochondria. Vitamins B and E also aid energy production. Many other helpful nutrients will be reviewed at the workshop on May 20th.

Besides nutrition, detoxification is important to energy production. We utilize a complete Purification system along with the Erchonia Ion foot bath to ensure safe detoxification. Low level light therapy (LLLT), a form of cold laser, has been found to enhance the work of the mitochondria. Very simply, it works by helping add electrons to the process of energy production. Increasing ATP production without adding free radicals, cold laser assists the body in healing.

Removing subconscious programming that prevents you from losing weight Have you ever used hypnosis or thought about using it? If you’ve read some of my earlier articles you’ll know that hypnosis is safe, and can be used for a wide variety of problems. Probably the two most common uses of hypnosis are for quitting smoking and losing weight. Today I would like to talk about using hypnosis for weight loss. Have you ever tried to lose weight and perhaps even succeeded at losing a few pounds, only to gain them back a short while later? This is not at all uncommon. The problem is that we have decided on a conscious level to get rid of the excess weight, but we have not dealt with the subconscious part of our mind. You are probably aware that many New Year’s resolutions fail. It is for this same reason. The conscious part of our brain wants to make the change, but the subconscious part was not informed about this decision. As a result, the subconscious will not allow you to make any significant improvements. When you make a decision to lose weight (or change some other habit), there is a critical part of your brain that does not easily accept the new ideas or information. You can keep trying to lose the weight, but it is not very likely that you will be successful if the message doesn’t get into your subconscious. So how does one get the message through to the subconscious? One very effective way is with hypnosis. When you are hypnotized, it is possible to bypass the critical part of the brain, the part that usually rejects the new information. You can then replace the old messages with healthier positive messages. Once these positive messages get into the subconscious, they can be acted upon as if they were true, and you will then be able to lose the weight and keep it off. This is similar to the use of affirmations; however, affirmations take much longer to work and you must say them

practically every day for several months. Hypnosis works very quickly. With just a few sessions you can be on your way to a new healthier and slimmer you! Many peer reviewed studies have now been conducted that demonstrate that hypnosis really does work and that it is very helpful for a large number of problems. A study cited in the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology showed that a group of individuals who used hypnosis lost an average of 17 pounds, compared to the non-hypnosis group which lost an average of only half a pound. In addition, and perhaps even more importantly, the group that used hypnosis was much more successful at keeping the weight off—in fact, 146% more successful at retaining their new slimmer, healthier shape.

There is another very important benefit of using hypnosis. With hypnosis, you can find out what messages are in the subconscious that are causing you to be overweight and are interfering with your losing the excess weight. As an example, have you ever gotten the message to “clean your plate?” Many of us received this message when we were growing up, and we don’t even realize that it is affecting us at the present time. If you go out to eat often and feel you need to clean your plate, you are going to be consuming a lot more food than is healthy for you. There is a very good analogy comparing the conscious and subconscious mind to an iceberg. Only a small portion of the iceberg is visible (the conscious part of our mind), while the much larger part of the iceberg (the subconscious part of our brain) is not visible. With hypnosis we can find out what messages are in the subconscious that are sabotaging our dieting plans. Once we find this out, we can challenge the old messages and replace them with much healthier messages.

18 Body Mind Spirit Guide | May 2014

We Are All Chosen People I recently came across a short but powerful statement that read, “We are all chosen people.” Although I cannot remember where I saw it, it inspired me to share about this idea of being chosen. Some religious texts explain that certain groups of people are chosen by God. Based on this teaching, those people chosen by God are more treasured than other individuals who are not in this special group. This belief leads to the creation of an “in” group and an “out” group and is often motivated by a desire to imbue the chosen group with power. For example, this belief contributed to the atrocities of the Holocaust. "In" group = Germans. "Out" group = Jews. This belief also contributed to the creation of a legally enforced system in which people were the property of others. "In" group = Caucasians. "Out" group = Africans. The list goes on. Straight over gay, men over women (especially in other parts of the world), wealthy over poor, thin women over heavier women, etc. When an individual or group of people feel superior to others, especially when this feeling of superiority is justified by the teachings and influence of powerful institutions like organized religion, the government, the media, etc., a tremendous amount of suffering is created for everyone involved. This polarizing belief system fuels the illusion that we are separate from one another and creates a destructive hierarchy that establishes who is in power (“in” group) and who is disempowered (“out” group). One of the main reasons people are susceptible to believing this fear-based teaching about who is chosen and who is not, is that most individuals have a core belief that they are not lovable, not good enough, and not worthy, to varying May 2014

degrees. The journey from self-judgment (fear) to self-acceptance (love) is a central component of this life experience, which explains why I have yet to meet a person who feels 100% lovable, worthy, and good enough all the time. Since this sense of not being good enough is so prevalent, when we are told that we are “chosen” and more special than others, a fearful and insecure part of us (ego) feels some relief from the suffering caused by our belief that we are not worthy or lovable. The ego grasps onto this false teaching about superiority as a means to feel redeemed and worthy. The ego also attaches to this belief about being “chosen” because it imbues that person with a false sense of power over others. Sadly, some individuals and groups use this power in ways that create pain and suffering for those who are not in the “chosen” group. The truth is that we are all equally worthy, deserving, and lovable. There is not an “in” group and “out” group…there is only an “in” group and YOU are in it. We are all chosen people! A person’s religious and/or spiritual beliefs, ethnicity, income, sexual identity, body shape, etc. does not, in any way, affect his/her innate worthiness. Understanding this truth about the unchangeable worthiness of our True Self shines a light of love on the mistaken teaching that some of us are more “special” and “treasured” than others. Breathing in the truth of our wholeness and worthiness, we can release this false belief and can rest in the knowing that we are all chosen people.

Dangerous Food A doctor was addressing a large audience in Oxford.... "The material we put into our stomachs should have killed most of us sitting here, years ago. Red meat is full of steroids and dye. Soft drinks corrode your stomach lining. Chinese food is loaded with MSG. High trans-fat diets can be disastrous and none of us realizes the long-term harm caused by the germs in our drinking water. But, there is one thing that is the most dangerous of all and most of us have, or will eat it. Can anyone here tell me what food it is that causes the most grief and suffering for years after eating it?" After several seconds of quiet, a 70-year-old man in the front row raised his hand, and softly said, "Wedding Cake."

The Universe is Thankful for You! By Eve Wilson

During meditation I was asked to tell you that the universe is thankful for you! You are appreciated for showing up each day and being yourself exactly as you are. What you contribute is essential; whether it meets with your expectations or not, isn’t the point. You were created to be just as you are, and there are reasons for that which you can’t understand yet. But the roles you were meant to play, you are playing perfectly. Likewise, you can be thankful for yourself and for everyone and everything in your life and trust that everything is working out as it should; regardless of whether you might like it to be different. Taking that thankful attitude, universally/across the board, even when you feel disgruntled helps everything to work out more easily. Where life is hard, there is a reason for that and you can surrender and go with it regardless. Or, when you fight and struggle with life, somehow that is what is needed from you in that moment. If you could see life today with the perspective of yourself a little wiser, a little more ascended from the future, you would observe how who you are today is just the medicine the world needs. You would see how the role you play impacts others, causing them to grow; whether that impact was positive, or perceived as negative, it is still the right impact. The universe is like a big bowl of cookie dough, each moment is a new batch of cookies. Each one of us is an ingredient that makes it taste just right when it is baked. Baking powder tastes terrible, and yet without it, some cookies would not be good. If the only ingredients were sweet, it wouldn’t be cookies! You can trust life’s recipes; theyall turn out just right on the big platter of life. Each element of creation contains a unique facet of the whole that I call God. It is invested as an ingredient of wholeness within the substance of each life and the world. Gradually, over many lifetimes, the raw material of creation has been stimulated by this inner facet of divine being, causing it to evolve; nurturing and developing its potential to one day embody the wholeness of the One within many unique and individual created lives. All experiences have been designed as a workout gym to build the soul muscles and qualities that will allow our enlightened truth to be born within us. What has gone before, while messy, has been an act of creation; like cooking,

May 2014

gardening or building construction, it hasn’t looked that good during the creative process. Nevertheless, there are good things in the works! Each messy step of our lives is a necessary experience in the recipe for life. Since December 31, 2012, the cookie dough of life on earth has gone from the mixing bowl to the baking pan and is entering the oven. There is an alchemical change happening, not so different from the heat of the oven on the dough of the cookie. It is inexorable; we are being recreated from raw material into something better; something ready to co-create with God. Within humans, animals, plants, microbes and the very genetic makeup of the planet, the many facets of the One are awakening and reshaping the nature of life on earth. We call this change ascension and it is bringing us closer to the fulfillment of our true purpose. This change is very positive, but initiates the end of much that went before so that everything can be rebirthed. It is another messy project! However, if you will orient toward the positive birth, you will find that letting go of the old will be easier. All souls, human, animal, plant and other are eternal, safe and unbreakable. Our souls are the vehicles we have built for our spiritual facet of God to awaken within. Physical bodies are the temporary homes for those souls to grow and learn through. The planet earth is a physical body for an eternal soul. Her body is being reborn. She isn’t dying, although she is shedding a lot of her old self so she can give birth to a more spiritually enlightened self; just as each person and creature is that lives upon her. Each moment of every day, you are evolving. That evolution requires you to always be on your own learning edge. You are not a finished product, you are an act of creation and it is messy! You are also an essential ingredient in the larger outworking of life. Be kind to yourself, you are undergoing reconstruction, please forgive the mess! Thank you for being you today, tomorrow and every day. You are exactly what is needed by the world exactly the way you are. Please give yourself a hug of approval from the universe :-) Eve Wilson Eve Wilson’s healings and classes help you find inner truth and overcome limitations, heal wounds of body, emotion, mind, spirit or become a legally certified healer. 28 years healing adults, children, couples, families, pets, houses and the planet. www.spiritualhealers.com appointments, classes, The Weekly Word for Healing & Ascension, 734-780-7635.

Unbelievable Weight Losses With “No Diet” I heard about Dr. Reggish from my girlfriend In Traverse City who lost 28 lbs. in only 4 weeks without dieting. I couldn’t believe it until I weighed her. I live in Chicago and I still decided to make an appt. with Dr Reggish. I just couldn’t watch my girlfriend lose all this weight without me. I’m so glad I did. In 2 weeks I lost 18 ½ lbs. and I can’t wait to fly back again in 2 weeks. We heard about Doc one year ago and we’re sorry we didn’t get in sooner. Doc is awesome. I have 2 other friends from Chicago flying in with me that made appts, we’re making it a girl’s weekend in Livonia. Thanks Dr Reggish, Anna Marie M. - Chicago I read about Dr. Reggish 8 months ago and decided I was ready to see him. I suffer from bad constipation, sugar cravings, brain fog, depression and chronic fatigue. Mostly I wanted to lose weight and get healthy. In one week I lost 9 lbs. and I feel great with lots of energy, no brain fog and no sugar cravings. Dr Reggish said that the sugar cravings would be gone in one day. It actually stopped just after I took these herbs he gave me. My 2nd week I lost 8 more lbs. and my depression is gone. Also I’m having daily bowel movements (mostly 2 a day). Dr Reggish is a blessing. Barbara N., - Toledo Ohio

sweats. My first week I lost 11 lbs and was shocked because Doc didn’t put me on a diet. The 2nd week I lost another 9 lbs. and was no longer having hot flashes or night sweats. My energy also drastically improved. It’s now been 4 wks and the pain in my body is completely gone and I feel 10 years younger. I’ve lost a total of 31 lbs. I absolutely love Dr Reggish. He’s unbelievable. Thanks Doc. Mary Lu, - Flint, Mi. The first time I met Dr Reggish, I cried for almost an hour telling him about all my health problems. Dr Reggish was very calm and said don’t worry…we just have to teach you some healthy lessons to live with and miracles will happen. Well miracles did happen and in only 3 weeks I lost 49 lbs without being on a diet. Dr Reggish never told me how much to eat. He never put me on a caloric diet. I couldn’t believe the changes in my body. I do have to say while taking some herbs from Dr Reggish, I saw thousands of parasites during my bowel movements. In two months, I have lost 87 lbs and many of my problems are gone, including depression. When I look in the mirror, I see a new person and thank God everyday for Dr. Reggish. Maria S., Madison Hgts.

Can’t Lose Weight This May Surprise You… They 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 May 2014

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 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 show 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. ed 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-

w w w. B o d y M i n d S p i r i t G U I D E . c o m

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 until the addiction is gone. A qualified Wellness Doctor can take you through this process. I recommend patients stick to the basic rules of nutrition that 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 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.

Soul Orientation: Regaining Your Soul Essence

on Embodied Practice:

If you've ever struggled to feel connected and real, your purpose ever eluding you, lost in a sea of information, obtaining your soul orientation offers you the avenues of pure connection. Pure connection being one that is developed only through your soul essence structures which are the vehicles of connection, ultimately revealing your purpose. To bring this concept home we are aware of structures which are in the brain, such as neurons, that send, receive and interpret information. These infinitely wondrous and complex structures allow intercellular communication. Just as the brain has structures and mechanisms of communication, so do we have energetic structures that allow us to communicate with the signals of the Universe. They are also infinitely beautiful and complex and beyond the scope of this article. In today's spiritual culture we are bombarded with practices and philosophical doctrines that present themselves as the way of connection. Developing soul orientation is the opposite - one must first develop their soul essence structures in the body, which then provide the connections most of us seek. This is like what occurs when a child is born; they must learn a verbal language and develop physically and mentally, in order to be connected to the world around them. If we put a baby in a room and said, "breathe and stare at the wall,â&#x20AC;? no connection would occur because the baby would not have developed enough to make the connections. I have spent the last 20 years of my life developing and organizing my soul essence, in my body, which has enabled me to see past recorded human history to see and know the mechanisms for humans to obtain soul orientation. The development of our soul essence inside our human form is infinitely complex, as is the developing child, yet begins with a few basic principles; the first one being the container within which the soul essence will have what it needs to form. As with all things that come into being, there must be a container. For example, gravity is the container of a solar system and the womb is the container of the developing embryo. We must have the appropriate container in order for each of our soul essences to be safe to form in the body. The first thing needed is a container in our human form, one that keeps and holds through the Embodied Practice in Soul Orientation:

Embodied The Dance of Reflectiveand Relationship. When we have this, Classes our body develops a contained environment in which our soul essence begins to form structures inside our physical form. Sessions

This could be illustrated by two cups representing our bodies,Based one with it, one without holes in it. We need onholes theinbook to first learn how to be a cup without holes in it, because if we Soul Orientation are the cup with holes in it, nothing will form or develop. Just as if enough were not present Abbe matter Grossman, MA, CPT after the sun of our solar system formed, the planets would not have formed in the (248) 470-5738 container of the gravity of our sun. SensologyInstitute.com Only when one has learned and developed the cup without holes, is it safe for one's soul essence to begin to form in the body. Our forming of soul essence structures in the body is the mechanism of connection within space and time. The Embodied Healing Embodied Practices in my book, Soul Orientation: The Dance of Reflective Relationship, give you your container. Become the cup without the holes, safe for your soul essence to form. Kiera D. Laike, IRW brings the theory and practice of Sensology, described here and in her book, Soul Orientation.

Reiki and Animals By: Lisa Murray Machala

Those of us who have animals in our homes know how much animals enrich our lives. Interacting with them, playing or cuddling with them, creates feelings of unconditional love and acceptance. Even being in their presence has a calming and soothing effect for many of us. We’d like to think that they receive the same feelings of belonging and contentment that they give us. Many of us will do anything for our animals’ safety, comfort and enjoyment. Wouldn’t it be nice to be able to offer them the comfort and healing that Reiki can provide? Yes, animals respond well to Reiki. The same life force energy that animates human life also exists in the animal and plant kingdoms, so the use of Reiki on animals has the same benefits for them as it does for humans. Reiki promotes a natural relaxation response which helps the body return to or stay in a parasympathetic state. This natural relaxation response allows the body to heal itself more effectively after injury or illness. Because Reiki is safe and has no side effects, it can be given to animals daily. Many Reiki practitioners offer Reiki to their animals throughout the day. One does not need to physically touch the animal in order to send Reiki. Directing Reiki energy with the hands or eyes can be just as effective as having one’s hands on the body. Beaming Reiki allows practitioners to send Reiki to animals at a distance. Whether it is fish in an aquarium or wild animals we see in nature, such as song birds, squirrels, deer, and so forth, Reiki can be sent and received without direct physical contact. Beaming Reiki even enables one to give Reiki to animals at the zoo! All animals are particularly sensitive to energy. There are a lot of reasons for this. Evolution has hard-wired animals to use all of their senses to avoid danger

and thereby preserve life. Many species communicate through a process called entrainment. We most often see this in large flocks of birds and schools of fish that seem to move as a single unit, despite the fact that they may be comprised of dozens or even hundreds of individual members. So, even without speech, animals communicate. Scientists believe that arousal levels of animals - - heart rate, muscle twitching, breathing rates, etc., is a primary source of communication among members of the same species. This arousal level can also be called energy. If animals use energy to communicate with each other, it only logically follows that they are aware of energy and how it works. Perhaps in their presence we are ‘entrained’ into their energy and that is why we often experience reduced stress and tension when in the company of our beloved animals. Consciously offering Reiki healing energy is a way we can bond with the animals in our lives. Reiki can enable us to comfort a stressed or worried animal. Many shelters have volunteers whose only job is to comfort and soothe stressed rescued animals living in shelters. Reiki can help relax animals with chronic illnesses. While relaxation is not the same as reversing or curing a condition, it seems reasonable that we would want to share as much comfort with our animals as possible to enhance their quality of life. Animals with arthritis, digestive problems and stress related behavior problems can all benefit from regular Reiki sessions. As with humans, Reiki promotes faster healing after an illness, injury or surgery.

beam Reiki distantly around the world to whales and porpoises in the ocean, the wild horses and burros of the American West, and endangered species across the globe. Distant beaming of Reiki using the distance symbol enables the practitioner to send Reiki wherever it is needed, regardless of geography. This is an especially wonderful gift to share with family and friends who live far away. All that is needed for distant Reiki to work effectively is for the recipient to be willing to receive Reiki healing, and the practitioner to have the appropriate attunement (access to the symbols) and a clear positive intention for the highest good of the recipient. While animals cannot verbally consent in a way that we can understand, we can offer Reiki for their highest good, and their higher consciousness can choose to accept and receive or not as appropriate in that moment. Animals give us so much and contribute immensely to the quality of our lives. Reiki is a way that we can easily give back to them in a way that is peaceful and healing.

Rapidly Evolve Your Soul and Bring Forth More Prosperity, Good Health, Joy and Happiness In a secret place only visible to those who can see, is a vast lush valley surrounded by towering mountain peaks covered in snow whose tops seemingly vanish into the deep blue sky. The grandeur and power of this view is followed by feelings of serenity, peace and joy. The perfection of this place is unmistakable. You have been here before. Your Soul knows this place; it is called the Wesak Valley. So the story continues, this is where all the great masters, saints and ascended light beings gather once a year to receive the greatest of divine blessings from the Lord Buddha who is the spiritual intermediary between the highest spiritual center Shamballa and the Spiritual Hierarchy. The Lord Buddha is the expression of the wisdom of God, the Embodiment of Light and Indicator of divine purpose. These blessings are made available to you and others who choose to receive them. The Spiritual Hierarchy tirelessly work Gods’ Divine Plan here on earth. While our consciousness is not yet evolved enough to know the specifics of the plan, we trust that it is right and that it serves love. Because this is a gathering of Masters, you may believe there is no meaning for you or there is nothing you can do to help. This view is far from the truth. The Masters can take no direct action of their own to affect things on earth. We must first ask for it. This is known as free will. Therefore, your asking is of great value. This gathering of great beings happens once a year and is known as

the Wesak Festival. Here at this time, you can access these energies and it is simple to do so. The hardest part is deciding whether or not you want to contribute, and then set aside time for it. The full moon accelerates the process, so meditate with us during the full moon of May and invoke divine blessings. Surrender to will of the Masters. Allow them to work through you to distribute these energies to where they will serve the highest good. Your actions are a form of service to mankind. Not only will you help mankind but you will also help yourself. Doing so will not only transmute negative karma but generate positive karma. Generating this kind of karmic change can help bring you more prosperity, health, joy and happiness. It is a very effective and rapid way to evolve your soul. This event happens only once a year. Avail yourself not of the things of this world but of the world as it is, the world of love. This is absolute truth. The Masters know it and so do you. The only difference between us is that they know this and we have forgotten it. Dave Krajovic Join us this month as we meditate during the full moon to invoke these divine blessings. Be part of the great plan and know that you are working in alignment with the spiritual hierarchy to bring about the unfoldment of the Divine Plan. How can it get any better than that? David Krajovic MBA, CPA, CMT is available for speaking and seminars on a variety of health, wellness and inspirational subjects. He and his wife Pat have created a new body of work combining contemporary and ancient teachings designed to gently yet powerfully move beyond the limits of human potential to ascend above limiting beliefs and attitudes to live in happiness, peace and prosperity. Join them for a FREE Meditation: Clearing the Path to Higher Spiritual Energies on Tuesday, April 15 at 9PM EDT on www.bodymindspiritRADIO.com. You may contact Dave at 734-416-5200 or www.GlobalBreathInstitute.com.

Who Says Nothing Is Personal? (Nonviolent Communication)

You are a beautiful expression of divine creativity showing up in only the way you can. Why would you want to give your power away by thinking someone has the power to make you feel any certain way? When you yield to your inherent essence, you open to the prosperity that is waiting to be felt as you. Don’t give away your choice to be happy by trapping yourself in scarcity. And don’t take that choice and power away from anyone else by feeling you are responsible for their needs. Understanding your needs is fundamental to taking full responsibility for your own happiness. Some examples of needs are trust, clarity, choice, purpose, safety, love, play, celebration, and balance. For example, “I need to trust” or, “I need to feel safe.” A need makes no reference to any specific person doing any specific thing. Need is not a strategy to control another but more of a self-awareness. Many judge their needs as weak, are unable to hear what they need, or take on other people’s needs as their own. Taking on the needs of others may come from childhood, where meeting parental needs was the only way to feel connected or gain approval. Judging needs as weak and pushing past the inner guidance system can also be a childhood survival tactic, or even a badge of strength in the perceived war of life. And those people that are highly empathetic may have a spiritual and neurological difficulty in discerning their own needs and emotions. According to Marshall Rosenberg of Nonviolent Communication (NVC), “We confuse someone communicating their needs to be a demand rather than a request.” If you hear someone’s feelings and needs as a demand, you will defend your position and feel burdened by their

28 Body Mind Spirit Guide | May 2014

communication. But, hearing another’s needs does not mean you give up your own…and if you hear the other person’s feelings and needs as a request, you are able to empathize. As a result, the other person will feel heard. If two people can communicate what they are needing without either person hearing it as a demand or criticism, something magical occurs. When both people feel heard, the solution appears. Many of us have not been taught this level of conscious communication and try to jump to the solution before the healing empathic connection is allowed. Empathy is the root of compassion. It allows you to step out of your isolated self and feel connected to another. But if you don’t know that the other’s needs are a request or that your needs are important, you will be unable to offer compassion to others. Have you ever known someone who has lost themselves in a relationship? They wake up one day and wonder, “Where did I go?” Many of us have not been taught the skills to maintain our individuated self and be fully merged in partnership. We believe we either have love or we have freedom and the two most certainly cannot go together! Many lose their ability to stay in tune with their heart’s needs in relationship because they have been taught a love that denies their True Self. This betrayal of self then gets projected on the partner in statements such as, “I would only be happy if he...” or, “If I don’t do what she wants I will endure her wrath!” Many couples I spiritually counsel feel burdened by their partner. Either their needs are not communicated or there is a competition of whose needs are more relevant. For NVC to work, you must choose love verses being right. You are not responsible for another person’s happiness; it is a choice they must make. If you take that on as your responsibility you are taking their power to be happy. Empathizing with another and not feeling responsible for their happiness, while remaining grounded in your own self-worth, leads to true intimacy and connection. I used to base my self-worth on whether I met everyone’s needs. The guilt I felt when someone was upset with me for not meeting their need led me to be defensive and unsympathetic. But I can still be lovable and loved even if I don’t meet the needs of others. Although it is still a continual practice today, I am able to hear the need behind irritation or criticism. This compassion allows me to stay rooted in Love and not take what May 2014

the other person is saying personally. It amazes me how NVC creates an energetic force field of love and allows each person to feel supported. Compassion is true power. When you hear the need behind anger, you never feel criticized. Also from Rosenberg, “Anger is an unskillful way of communicating ones needs.” We are each responsible for our happiness. Nothing is ever personal. “The law of love will work, just as the law of gravitation will work, whether we accept it or not...a man who applies the law of love with scientific precision can work great wonders...” Mahatma Gandhi What you focus on, negative or positive, is what you will draw into your life. But trying to be positive all the time will trap you in a lesser form of hell. To move beyond the suffering of duality (positive/negative) requires you to connect to that which does not change. Having personal experiences of love and the divine is essential to not feeling you must convince another to be safe. Your spiritual practices are an important foundation to the psychological process of healthy communication. Inner work releases you from the bondage of trying to prove to another your needs are important. Look within. Otherwise you will draw to yourself greater conflict, blame others for your unhappiness, fight to get your needs met, and feel unsafe in the world. Every day I learn more about the immense power of NVC and I am excited to present this material in May’s retreat. (Please also look into Nonviolent Communication: A Language of Life by Marshall Rosenberg for more information.) You are worth the inner work and it is my hope that you realize the wealth, love, and power you have already been given.

With Friends If there is one ingredient which adds warmth and love to our lives... It is friendship. If there is one relationship to help us through all the others... It is friendship. Friends surround us with the beauty of their caring. With friends we can share what we see, what we feel and what we love. Friends help us with our problems because they listen. And as they listen we begin to hear the language of our own hearts. With friends we can walk along the remembered paths of our lives And completely share our experiences. With friends we can work the soil of forgotten dreams That needed to be tended and nurtured once again. With friends we can plant the seed of our hearts new dreams. We can always return to a friend like going back to a special place... And find the same warm feeling unchanged by time or distance. Life gives us friends so we can share the precious times and memorable moments of being children, and teenagers, and adults, and parents, and grandparents. Life gives us friends so we can share the growing up... And growing down and old. With friends we have a place to go to be accepted and understood. Together we can laugh. Together we can cry. Our thoughts are heard, our feelings are held in the heart of a friend. With friends our lives are made more full, more rich, More open, beautiful and blessed!!!!! --- Author Unknown Yet Apprecaited---

Desperate Businessman A man has been in business for many, many years and the business is going down the drain. He is seriously contemplating suicide and he doesn't know what to do. He goes to his Rabbi to seek advice. He tells the Rabbi about all of his problems in the business and asks the Rabbi what he should do. The Rabbi says "Take a beach chair and a Bible and put them in your car and drive down to the edge of the ocean. Go to the water's edge. Take the beach chair out of the car, sit on it and take the Bible out and open it up. The wind will riffle the pages for a while and eventually the Bible will stay open at a particular page. Read the first words your eyes fall on and they will tell you what to do." The man does as he is told. He places a beach chair and a Bible in his car and drives down to the beach. He sits on the chair at the water's edge and opens the bible. The wind riffles the pages of the Bible and then stops at a particular page. He looks down at the Bible and his eyes fall on words which tell him what he has to do. Three months later the man and his family come back to see the Rabbi. The man is wearing a $1,000 Italian suit, the wife is all decked out with a full-length mink coat and the child is dressed in beautiful silk. The man hands the Rabbi a thick envelope full of money and tells him that he wants to donate this money to the synagogue in order to thank the Rabbi for his wonderful advice. The Rabbi is delighted. He recognizes the man and asks him what words in the Bible brought this good fortune to him. The man replies: "Chapter 11"

How psychic are you? Take a quiz and find out! By: Wendy Powers

At a very young age I found myself experiencing a strong intuition about people and situations before they happened. Many of my dreams were precognitive and I also found that I could interpret the dreams of others to help them understand what they may mean. I didn’t realize that I was being anything but normal. As time went on it became clear that this was not how others perceived the world. Over the years I found ways to refine my intuitive abilities and help others to discover their intuitive strengths. I am a natural Clairvoyant (seeing the past, present, and future) and I also see spirits (medium). I always had this ability, but have found that I am so much more connected to the other side since I had my NDE several years ago. When doing a reading, I never know if a spirit will come to talk with my client. When one passes to the other side there is so much to take in. Sometimes a soul will need to stay earth-connected to communicate to loved ones or to resolve a karma or emotional situation that was not completed in their untimely passing - - such as in an accidental death or especially suicides. Even when we may want to speak to a loved one who has passed, they may not be there to connect with us as they are floating on a higher level, sorting out the life they just experienced on earth. They may come to talk at a later time. In my readings I focus more on the life you are living by putting a light on your path so that you can make better choices, knowing the outcome of the future and the karma you carry with you. In teaching people about developing their intuition, I have found that it helps to know where you stand in your spiritual connection with your intuition.

Use this questionnaire to help you find out more about where you are in the development of your own intuition. How psychic are you? If you respond “yes” to a question, check the box next to the question, then add up all the checks to see how psychic you are! [ ] Have you instantly felt that a house or a building was a happy or threatening place? [ ] Do you “know” that you can or can’t trust someone? [ ] When the phone rings, do you often know who is calling? [ ] Can you “hear” or feel someone’s thoughts? [ ] Have you ever had a physical sensation of a spirit or visually sensed a ghost? [ ] When looking for a parking space, have you ever followed your instinct to turn down an aisle, then found a spot opened just where you desired to park:? [ ] Have you ever felt upon waking up that something has been revealed to you during the night? [ ] While talking to a person you’ve never met before, have you ever had a compelling feeling that something unpleasant would happen to him or her? Then, you were later told that the person had been in an accident or had become ill? [ ] When you close your eyes do you sometimes see eyes or human faces? [ ] Do the hairs on the back of your neck sometimes bristle, putting you on your guard? [ ] Have you ever made a decision

38 Body Mind Spirit Guide | May 2014

against the advice of friends and family, just because it felt right? [ ] Are you someone who experiences an unusual number of coincidences? Add up your “yes” answers. 1-2 yes’s = Even if you checked just one or two boxes, you have some access to your intuitive resources- - and these can be developed. 3-5 yes’s = Your intuition is quite active, but you have room to improve. Learn to trust yourself and let your instinct guide you. 7-9 yes’s = You’re already well tuned in to your inner sources of wisdom and with practice, you can use intuition even more precisely. 10 or more yes’s = Your intuitive abilities are powerfully developed and you have the confidence to trust your psyche.

I LOVE YOU MOM! --- Ashley --- From Michigan P a g e 39

The Old Phone on the Wall

“Then chip off a little bit of ice and hold it to your finger,” said the voice..

When I was a young boy, my father had one of the first telephones in our neighborhood.. I remember the polished, old case fastened to the wall. The shiny receiver hung on the side of the box. I was too little to reach the telephone, but used to listen with fascination when my mother talked to it.

After that, I called “Information Please” for everything... I asked her for

Then I discovered that somewhere inside the wonderful device lived an amazing person. Her name was “Information Please” and there was nothing she did not know. Information Please could supply anyone’s number and the correct time. My personal experience with the genie-in-a-bottle came one day while my mother was visiting a neighbor. Amusing myself at the tool bench in the basement, I whacked my finger with a hammer, the pain was terrible, but there seemed no point in crying because there was no one home to give sympathy. I walked around the house sucking my throbbing finger, finally arriving at the stairway. The telephone! Quickly, I ran for the footstool in the parlor and dragged it to the landing. Climbing up, I unhooked the receiver in the parlor and held it to my ear. “Information, please” I said into the mouthpiece just above my head. A click or two and a small clear voice spoke into my ear. “Information.” “I hurt my finger...” I wailed into the phone, the tears came readily enough now that I had an audience. “Isn’t your mother home?” came the question. “Nobody’s home but me,” I blubbered. “Are you bleeding?” the voice asked. “No,” I replied. “I hit my finger with the hammer and it hurts.” “Can you open the icebox?” she asked. I said I could.

Help with my geography, and she told me where Philadelphia was. She helped me with my math. She told me my pet chipmunk that I had caught in the park just the day before, would eat fruit and nuts. Then, there was the time Petey, our pet canary, died. I called, Information Please,” and told her the sad story.. She listened, and then said things grown-ups say to soothe a child. But I was not consoled. I asked her, “Why is it that birds should sing so beautifully and bring joy to all families, only to end up as a heap of feathers on the bottom of a cage?” She must have sensed my deep concern, for she said quietly, “Wayne, always remember that there are other worlds to sing in.” Somehow I felt better. Another day I was on the telephone, “Information Please.” “Information,” said in the now familiar voice. “How do I spell fix?” I asked. All this took place in a small town in the Pacific Northwest. When I was nine years old, we moved across the country to Boston. I missed my friend very much. “Information Please” belonged in that old wooden box back home and I somehow never thought of trying the shiny new phone that sat on the table in the hall. As I grew into my teens, the memories of those childhood conversations never really left me.. Often, in moments of doubt and perplexity I would recall the serene sense of security I had then. I appreciated now how patient, understanding, and kind she was to have spent her time on a little boy. A few years later, on my way west to college, my plane put down in Seattle. I had about a half-hour or so between

planes. I spent 15 minutes or so on the phone with my sister, who lived there now. Then without thinking what I was doing, I dialed my hometown operator and said, “Information Please.” Miraculously, I heard the small, clear voice I knew so well. “Information.” I hadn’t planned this, but I heard myself saying, “Could you please tell me how to spell fix?” There was a long pause. Then came the soft spoken answer, “I guess your finger must have healed by now.” I laughed, “So it’s really you,” I said. “I wonder if you have any Idea how much you meant to me during that time” I wonder,” she said, “if you know how much your call meant to me. I never had any children and I used to look forward to your calls.” I told her how often I had thought of her over the years and I asked if I could call her again when I came back to visit my sister. “Please do”, she said. “Just ask for Sally.” Three months later I was back in Seattle. A different voice answered, “Information.” I asked for Sally… “Are you a friend?” she said. “Yes, a very old friend,” I answered. “I’m sorry to have to tell you this, “She said. “Sally had been working part time the last few years because she was sick. She died five weeks ago.” Before I could hang up, she said, “Wait a minute, did you say your name was Wayne ?” “Yes.” I answered. “Well, Sally left a message for you… She wrote it down in case you called. Let me read it to you.” The note said, “Tell him there are other worlds to sing in. He’ll know what I mean.” I thanked her and hung up. I knew what Sally meant.

A butcher watching over his shop is really surprised when he saw a dog coming inside the shop. He shoos him away. But later, the dog is back again. So, he goes over to the dog and notices he has a note in his mouth. He takes the note and it reads “Can I have 12 sausages and a leg of lamb, please. The dog has money in his mouth, as well.” The butcher looks inside and, lo and behold, there is a ten dollar Note there. So he takes the money and puts the sausages and lamb in a bag, placing it in the dog’s mouth. The butcher is so impressed, and since it’s about closing time, he decides to shut up shop and follow the dog. So off he goes. The dog is walking down the street when he comes to a level crossing. The dog puts down the bag, jumps up and presses the button. Then he waits patiently, bag in mouth, for the lights to turn. They do, and he walks across the road, with the butcher following him. The dog then comes to a bus stop, and starts looking at the timetable. The butcher is in awe at this stage. The dog checks out the times, and then sits on one of the seats provided. Along comes a bus. The dog walks around to the front, looks at the number, and goes back to his seat. Another bus comes. Again the dog goes and looks at the number, notices it’s the right bus, and climbs on. The butcher, by now, openmouthed, follows him onto the bus. The bus travels through the town and out into the suburbs, the dog Looking at the scenery. Eventually he gets up, and moves to the front of the bus. He stands on 2 back paws and pushes the button to stop the bus. Then he gets off, his groceries still in his mouth. Well, dog and butcher are walking along the road, and then the dog turns into a house. He walks up the path, and drops the groceries on the step. Then he walks back down the path, takes a big run, and throws himself against the door. He goes back down the path, runs up to the door and again, it throws himself against it. There’s no answer at the house, so the dog goes back down the path, jumps up on a narrow wall, and walks along the perimeter of the garden. He gets to the window, and beats his head against it several times, walks back, jumps off, and waits at the door. The butcher watches as a big guy opens the door, and starts shaking his finger and yelling at the dog. The butcher runs up, and stops the guy. “What in heaven’s name are you doing? The dog is a genius. He could be on TV, for the life of me!” to which the guy responds: “You call this clever? This is the second time this week that this stupid dog’s forgotten his key.

If already partnered, you can discover new things about each other. Be vocal about what you appreciate about him/her and love will be even stronger. Cancer (June 21 – July 22) – Meditation is the best tool you have to overcome emotional triggers. Family and home issues will likely drive you crazy, so before you react, find a quiet retreat spot and take a few breaths! (The bathroom is always a safe excuse for a few moments of privacy!) Also, observe how you rile yourself up in your own mind. Regular spiritual centering will help you avoid those tendencies so you’re more serene. Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22) – Working with affirmations will be very powerful right now. Remember not to skip the vital step of using denials – cleansing statements that release the old and create fertile “mind soil” for the new! Have strength behind your statement of release and of affirmation. Also let trusted spiritual friends know what you’re working on manifesting so they can visualize too! Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22) – May is a major prosperity month for you! Meditate on your value as a member of the Universe. You deserve abundance! Focus on the fact that there is plenty for everyone and don’t limit your ability to receive by feeling shy about having a

receptive consciousness. Lack comes from not claiming divine supply. So make your claim and inspire others! P.S. prosperity can also come in the form of relationships and intimacy. Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22) – Exciting Mars moves direct in your sign. You’ll feel energized physically, and empowered personally. Meditate on how you can be a push-over in romantic, family and work relationships. Draw up a plan of action to have stronger boundaries. Mid-month, approach those people and calmly discuss the changes you need to make. By taking responsibility for your weakness instead of blaming them, bonds will heal and flourish. Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) -- Mars moving direct clears out old anger and frustration lodged in your subconscious. Meditation makes this a smooth process and releases the energy safely. Midmonth you’ll notice better communication about money. You can also bring up sexual or intimacy issues with your partner and find solutions. Health-wise, you’ll see how old anger causes bad eating habits and how you can be free of them! Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) – If single, you can meet someone through friends or fun activities. Your pets could even play matchmaker by having a person approach you to talk about them! If partnered, you’ll have a romantic renaissance by finding cool things you both like to do together, and seeing each other with fresh eyes. Communication will be good, so you’ll feel flirty and happy. Enjoy this playful time as a gift from the Universe! Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) – This will be a great work month. You can get a promotion or a new job! In general, you’ll feel appreciated by co-workers and also by family. It’s a good time to have a party or gathering, since your home has such positive energy and people will feel blessed being there. You’ll be

very inspiring, so dare to give people intuitive messages you receive through meditation. Be vocal with praise, even over small things. Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) – Mars moving ahead re-invigorates your spiritual goals. Design a new approach to meditation. Try a different sort of yoga class. Pick up an inspirational book. You can even sense new spiritual guides helping you, because you’re on a higher level of soul evolution. Like Capricorn pals, your positive words have extra power now, so bless others with your insights. Even a smile gives people a mystical boost! Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20) – Meditation is increasing your self-worth. As a Pisces, it’s crucial to acknowledge your strengths and not just weaknesses! Your confidence makes communication better with family, and also at work. You can express boundaries and opinions gently, but with clarity behind them. You’ll also feel more comfortable with sexuality. Knowing your spiritual power makes you feel less vulnerable so intimacy is less scary! Aries (March 21 – April 19) – May is a great month for new relationships, and to make current partnerships feel new! Meditate with affirmations about the qualities of the perfect partner you want. Also, meditate on qualities you can cultivate to be a better partner yourself. Forgive past relationships. Also, release the negative stuff about your current bond if not single in order to change it for the better. Be open to new possibilities of positive karma between both of you!

4 Ingredients for a Healthy You In today’s society we are bombarded with how to be healthy from TV ads, magazines, billboards and the trusty old internet. We are told to eat organic, don’t eat red meat, stay away from fats, eat low Carb foods, eat eggs-don’t eat eggs etc. Then, if you add the weight loss products and what to eat and what not to eat to lose weight, your head will explode from all the data. No wonder we are all confused! There are only 4 ingredients to a healthy you: Relaxation, Movement, Sleep, and Nutritious Food. Sounds simple, right? However, most people do not have all four ingredients in balance every day; they may have two or three but not all four. In today’s fast paced society stress is the number one ingredient on our plates that consumes and takes over our mind, body and spirit. Stress causes exhaustion, anxiety, frustration, depression, hormonal imbalances, increased belly fat, poor eating habits, lack of exercise, a disconnect to passions, people, goals, dreams, and forward movement in life. Relaxation is an ingredient that can bring peace, calmness, energy, revitalization, an optimal functioning

Astrology for Your Soul

body, connection to life, and the ability to be present and centered. A few tools to create more relaxation in your life are increased movement, meditation, prayer, reading a book, being in nature, and spending time with positive people. Begin by incorporating 10 to 15 minutes a day and increase as needed with a relaxation tool that works for you. People today have become couch potatoes or computer junkies. Movement is the key to remain young and full of energy. Movement involves any activity that works the body. Movement can be gardening and lawn beautifying, walking in nature, visiting a friend, bike riding, going to the park with the kids and many other activities. Each day before you retire to passive activity such as TV or a computer, work into your schedule at least 30 minutes of movement. Are you sleeping good? Do you get enough sleep? Are you hitting the snooze over and over? The golden rule for enough sleep is when you wake up on your own without an alarm clock; otherwise you’re probably having a sleep debt. While you sleep your body, mind and spirit begins to cleanse and detox from toxins of the day, heal, and relax. Each night strive for 7 to 8 hours of sleep. Turn the TV/ computer off one hour before going to bed. Take this time to read a book, listen to a relaxing tape, create a to-do list for the next day, and just be focused in the present moment. What is nutritious food? Our food industry has placed so many chemicals and preservatives in our foods that you may think you are eating nutritious food but really you are not. So what can you do? A few tools to nourish our bodies would be to buy local, eat organic, buy fresh, eat a variety of different foods, balance the nutrients, scratch cook, experiment with new foods, and grow your own foods. Begin to read labels; if the ingredient isn’t a food don’t eat the product. One big tool: stay hydrated with water; drink half your body weight in ounces. Baby steps are the key to eating healthy so each week incorporate a few of the mentioned tools and see how you feel. Strive to balance the 4 ingredients and a healthy you will begin to show. If you are not in balance life will be filled with stress, sickness, disconnect, and unfulfillment. Connecting with a Wellness Coach can help you achieve balance with the 4 ingredients and a healthy you.

Early Trauma— The Split it Causes a Constellations specialist, Dr. Franz Ruppert, contends that early trauma causes the psyche to split into three parts he calls: the Trauma Self, the Survival Self, and the Healthy Self. According to Ruppert, the trauma mainly occurs with a primary relationship for every human being— with mom—generally within the first trimester of pregnancy. He agrees with Hellinger, that the trauma can also occur immediately following birth, in a similar fashion to that described in Hellinger’s “Interrupted Reaching Out.” Early traumas can have a lasting impact on the individual’s developing personality, and definitely can influence the path the individual will choose in life—and even whether the individual will have a happy and successful life. The following are Ruppert’s descriptions of the splits that occur: Healthy Self The Healthy Self is open-minded, capable of regulating feelings, exhibits compassion and empathy, and can form a healthy bond. The Healthy Part has a good memory, and is realistic and optimistic—accepts responsibility and practices self-reflection. Traumatized Self The Traumatized Self buries all memories of the trauma but is stuck in the traumatic experiences—is therefore easily triggered as an adult. Survivor Self The Survivor Self also buries all memories of the trauma, and keeps

it buried deep—so that the split is carefully guarded. This part is controlling—and compensates easily by creating illusions—a mirror image of the Traumatized Self. Constellation of Intention Franz Ruppert developed the “Constellation of Intention.” It differs in format from a traditional Family Constellation—introduced many years earlier by the creator of Family Constellations, Bert Hellinger. In a Family Constellation the client shares briefly with the facilitator, then chooses a representative for his/herself and relatives as recommended by the facilitator. In the Constellation of Intention, the client chooses only one representative—for his/her intention—then steps into the constellation as him/herself. There is significant disagreement from traditional practitioners not only for Ruppert’s way of doing a constellation, but also many objections to his philosophies.

7 Simple Steps to Help You Slim Down Before Summer Did you know that over 75% of people in America are overweight? The interesting thing is that we are doing more to lose weight yet we continue to gain. How is that? It’s because most people focus on eating diet food and cutting back on calories. However, we need to focus on getting rid of the toxic substances and organisms that are wreaking havoc on our body. Weight loss is practically on auto pilot when we make this shift and start focusing on cleansing our body and increasing our metabolism, instead of counting how many calories we are eating. Below is a mixture of cleanses and tips to help you get that beach body before summer! 1. Do Candida Cleanse – If you are overweight then you may have a candida yeast overgrowth, which can grow throughout your body. If you have this overgrowth it will be nearly impossible to lose weight and keep it off. You can purchase a candida cleanse kit at your local health store and begin taking it immediately. Your diet will have to change as well. Eat only raw salads and steamed vegetables and avoid starchy vegetables such as sweet potatoes, potatoes, yams, corn and winter squash. When you start this cleanse be aware that you may experience a headache or flu like symptoms due to all the toxins being released. Make sure you drink a lot of water. You can also use a sauna or exercise as a way to sweat them out. 2. Do a Colon Cleanse – Unless you are having two to three bowel movements per day, you are constipated. Cleansing your colon will help to boost your metabolism and you can lose up to ten pounds just by getting rid of the excess toxins that are hanging out in your colon. You can visit your local health food store for recommendations. 3. Rebound – A rebounder is a mini trampoline and a super fun way to exercise. By jumping on the rebounder you will stimulate every single cell in your body. Ten minutes a day is all it takes to increase your metabolism. 4. Drink 8 Glasses of Warm Distilled Water Every Day – Most people think that drinking a lot of water will make them gain weight and be bloated. However, you need a lot of water to flush out the toxins; if you don’t drink enough water the toxins have no way to get out of your body. To up the ante, you can add fresh squeezed lemon to the water to help speed up your weight loss. 5. Eat a Big Breakfast – Skipping breakfast or eating a small breakfast is a major mistake because this is literally the most important meal in your day. After the night, your body starts suffering from a lack of food intake and your metabolism is low. The best way to fix this is to eat a healthy (big) breakfast, causing your metabolism to increase. When your metabolism May 2014

is active, it will help burn energy and fats. 6. Stop Eating Diet Food – If you’re eating diet food, you should stop immediately. Why? Well, first of all, they are not going to help you lose weight. Second, you must understand what measures the manufacturer is taking in order to make that “regular food” into “diet food”. In order to get the right texture and taste into their product, the manufacturer has to replace ingredients that are not “healthy” with chemicals to make it appear real. These chemicals are definitely not healthy and some sweeteners have been reported to cause cancer (aspartame). Don’t be fooled by the diet industry and “Diet Food” because it is actually going to make you gain more weight and cause health problems. 7. Drink Organic Apple Cider Vinegar – Apple Cider Vinegar is magical. It helps to eliminate fat cells from your body and give you a surge of energy. You can put a couple teaspoons in warm water and drink it before meals. I hope you decide to do all of the steps above. They truly can help you slim down before summer and feel better than ever! Praying you achieve your weight loss goals. God Bless, Desiree Sims Desiree Sims is a Certified Fitness & Nutrition Specialist that hasn’t been sick in over 5 years and lost 40 lbs. in only 7 weeks.

The Divine Mother’s Love

Food of the Month: Asparagus Spring is the season of asparagus. Their strong green stalks are one of the first foods to start growing after our long cold winter. Asparagus, like many springtime foods, has the natural ability to cleanse the body. Containing the amino acid, asparagine, asparagus acts as a diuretic and helps remove fluids and excess salts from the body. This is very good for people who suffer from edema, high blood pressure, and other heart related diseases.

As a mother of four amazing sons, daughter-in-laws and nana to two grandchildren, I feel the intense joyful love in my heart whenever I think of them and whenever I am with them. They are each so uniquely beautiful, talented and gifted. Their smiles and laughter, the jokes they tell, the songs they sing, their likes and dislikes, the choices they make and their own individual perceptions of their world around them, are what makes them the uniquely beautiful souls that they are. Yet, at the same time, they are in many ways so very much alike. They are reflections of one another, and of me. As I appreciate each of them for their unique and wonderful gifts, I feel such deep heart-felt love for who they really are. I notice the seemingly huge differences, yet they are also so similar and familiar. In this matrix of love energy I am experiencing, I am them and they are me. There is no separation, only oneness. I then realize that this is the Love of the Divine Mother flowing in, through and all around me, loving me for my own uniqueness as well. This Love is one continuous flow that is connecting all of us. It is True Unconditional Love. This unconditional love is so different from conditional love. Conditional love states that you have to be this or that, or you must act this way or that way in order to be “good enough” to deserve love. This really isn’t love at all, but a means to control and manipulate. As May is the month of Mother’s Day, let us focus on Love as the Divine Mother Loves us…Unconditionally without judgment. Love as One. HAPPY MOTHER’S DAY! Marilyn G.

This delicate, slightly sweet vegetable is also high in fiber, folate, vitamins A, C, E, and K. Used in this soup recipe, the asparagus imparts tremendous flavor. When shopping for asparagus, look for crisp stalks that are not wilted and the tips are not mushy. Most of the time the bottom inch has to be cutoff and discarded because it is too fibrous. One of my favorite foods that most people have never heard of is, mochi. It’s a traditional food from the Orient. Made from sweet brown rice, it is sold in most health food stores. It comes in a square, wrapped in plastic. It is made when you pound the brown rice to get a sticky consistency, and is then formed into the square cakes. My favorite way to use mochi is to grate it. I always keep grated mochi in my freezer so that I have it ready to use. It works great thickening a soup, like this recipe. Once the grated mochi is cooked, it becomes sticky. It will thicken soups, make casseroles creamy, and when melted you can make a (mock) cheese sauce.

Cream Of Asparagus Soup

4 cups water

2 cups rice beverage

1 onion (diced)

1 lb. asparagus (cut up)

1 cup rolled oats

1 cup grated mochi

3 tsp. basil

1 1/2 tsp. sea salt

Bring water and rice beverage to a boil. Add onion, asparagus, and rolled oats. Reduce to a simmer, cover and cook for 15 minutes. Add mochi let simmer for 10 more minutes. Add sea salt and basil. Blend soup, either using a hand blender, food processor, or blender. Serve warm. Valerie Wilson Recipe from her cookbook ‘Perceptions In Healthy Cooking’. macroval.com
