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)

2 Body Mind Spirit Guide | August 2014

A LITTLE CHURCH HUMOR There was a Minister whose wife was expecting a baby. The Minister went to the congregation and asked for a raise. After much consideration and discussion, they passed a rule that when the Minister's family expanded, so would his pay check. After five or six children, this started to get expensive. The congregation decided to hold a meeting again to discuss the Minister's pay situation. You can imagine there was much bickering. Finally, the Minister got up and spoke to the crowd, "Having children is an act of God!" In the back of the room, a little old man with a full beard stood up, and in his frail voice said... "Snow and Rain are also 'acts of God', but when we get too much, we wear rubbers!"

“OVERTHINKING EXPLAINED! the art of creating problems that weren’t even there.”

Sacred Mountains of Power Mountains inspire us. As the highest point in a natural landscape, they draw our gaze upwards from the everyday, to the heavens above. Certain mountains are particularly powerful as beautiful, majestic pinnacles of God’s handiwork. Some people are inspired to write about or paint them; while for others they are the objects of their devotions. The power of some mountains seems so great that people are drawn, as if by an invisible magnet, and will undergo untold hardships to attempt to climb to their summits. When I first visited Ben Hope, a sacred mountain in the uppermost Highlands of Scotland, I felt an ancient force that seemed to have existed forever. Sacred geometry and other studies show us that Ben Hope and many other sacred places around the world are not just haphazard rock formations. They are often aligned on ancient places of power, such as the crossing of major ley lines or the Earth’s natural lines of force. As I wrote last month in my article on The Earth, indigenous culture, ancient civilizations and enlightened individuals through the centuries have honored and been aware of the natural energies of Mother Earth and have attempted to live in harmony with Her. They have also revered Her mountains, and the nature spirits of these places which imbue the moun-

tains with a particular life, power and energy. In the lecture - Sacred Mountains of Power (see separate ad for details), I shall discuss sacred places of power throughout the world and present beautiful Powerpoint images of these places. I shall also focus on nineteen holy mountains that are particularly relevant to us in this New Age. Why? Because the energy contained within these mountains is such that any person who climbs them and prays for the world, can radiate through themselves as much spiritual energy as could an adept in the past. Please join us to learn about the fantastic energies contained within these New Age power batteries; the significance of the subterranean links that join these wonderful mountains together; and their positioning throughout the world. Learn about the closest holy mountain to Metro Detroit from which a group of pilgrims has just returned – Mount Adams, New Hampshire. These sacred mountains of power are part of a global infrastructure set into place by highly advanced Intelligences that can help us to reconnect in a spiritual way with the Mother Earth upon which we live; and can assist us in bringing peace and harmony to our world. For more information about the lecture: Sacred Mountains of Power, please see the advertisement, or call The Aetherius Society at (248) 5880290, email: info@aetheriusmi.org or visit http://www.aetheriusmi.org.

She is the author of twelve published books and a radio show host at Body Mind Spirit Radio.

Forever Relationships "Connected hearts will not die, will not be buried for theirs is a forever relationship." Sufi Hosain Mosavat, •

Was born in the land of roses, poets and Shiraz wine, Shiraz, Iran.

•

Attended high school in Tehran.

•

Two years before graduation, the first Revolution in Iran began. He lost many friends in the widespread violence. He felt unwelcome in repressive Iran.

•

Was sent to USA by his father where he became a citizen and finished his schooling.

•

His life was then filled with:

•

Taught physics & math (30 years)

•

Writing poetry

•

Parenting his son

•

Making music

•

Cooking extensively

•

Gathering friends and nurturing lasting friendships

Hosain retired from teaching in 1993; he lives in Whitmore Lake, MI. When the time comes, he says "He will be buried in the Whitmore Lake graveyard." With his books he says "He will still have something to say beyond this life." To his many friends he says "My friends, I will not be denied loving you." Poetry is one of the most beautiful and artistic ways a person can express himself. Persian poet-thinker Hosain Mosavat expresses himself in three masterfully written books of poetry that bring together a lifetime of work that touches the heart and soothes the soul of the reader. "They say I am a gregarious author. I say I am 'The Heart Whisperer' (the title of one of his books) begging to give you love and the instinct of presence in everyone you meet. I will also share with you a revelation every now and then." Hosain teaches that loving friends can together reach for rainbows instead of reaching for mere colors. He notes, "The most sacred conversation between lovers is one without words, in absolute naked beauty." Quotes: •

I have abandoned beliefs and replaced them with love.

•

My solution to wars is to offer compassion and listening.

•

It is not important to say who I am, instead it is important

6 Body Mind Spirit Guide | August 2014

to shine the light on the beauty of others. •

I speak of brotherhood as samehood. If you’re hurt, I am hurt. If you’re happy, I am ecstatic. Your tears will never fall unnoticed. Your happiness is my goal.

•

If you really want to know me, open your heart. I am there, smiling, playing songs that angels sing and raising you to the clouds as your dancing partner.

"It is all about you and how we can blend like a rainbow– different colors and most beautiful. And at the end of the rainbow, it is not a mere monetary treasure–it is you." HosainMosavat is an awesome human being with much wisdom and connection to everything in the universe. Please join us! Experience Hosain Mosava Sunday, August 17 at Unity of Farmington Hills, 10 am Sunday Celebration Service: So What is a Sufi? Why Do They Matter? You will be deeply moved by HosainMosava’s sharing and UFH’s fabulous music. Love offering. Please also join us for 1 pm Café Poetry Reading. Love offering.

Get Fit with "No Exercising, Exercises"! I love how it feels to be fit. I love how it looks to be fit. I admire people of all ages that move supplely with beauty and grace. I know I could be among them, but it would take some work. Health is a main focus in my life and I truly understand how important it is to take care of the physical body. I take excellent, absorbable supplements and eat well, but I knew I was neglecting the fitness aspect of health. A few years ago, I thought about this and came up with a workable plan. I knew I wouldn't go to a gym or do a serious lengthy exercise program, so I designed a program just for me to get in shape. It wouldn’t take much--just get up a little earlier and walk/ jog for 10 minutes every day. Then, before lunch, just 10 minutes of stretching exercises. Then, before the end of the day, fit in 10-15 minutes of serious fitness work on the elliptical machine. That is the simple, not very challenging fitness program I designed for myself. Three tiny exercise periods inside my busy day. I will get fit and feel good about it! Now, after figuring out how I could do this, I should be able to accomplish it, right? Well, not really. I can count on my fingers how many times I managed to accomplish 3 short exercise periods inside my day. Several times, I thought about exercising and then decided to get back to that project I was working on or the book I was reading. I’m not sure what that says about my mental state and commitment level, to admire people that are fit and go as far as to set up a program that should work for me, and then ignore it on purpose. I was concerned, but when I asked other people, exercise avoidance seemed to be a universal problem. So how to stay fit? I set up what seemed to be an idiot-proof exercise schedule and still managed to avoid exercising. Yet, being fit is part of my belief system. I decided that I had

to imbed exercise inside my day, because I know I won’t follow a schedule. That’s when I came up with my No Work Out, No Schedule, Not Really Exercising Exercise Program.

was by toning the abdominal muscles. Always consult a doctor or professional, but it seemed to work for me. The backaches went away!

Dancing with everything-- Some women aspire to dance with the stars. I dance with baskets of laundry. When I am doing mundane chores around the house, I crank up the oldies station (use whatever form of music makes you want to move). When I lift up something to put it away, I usually spin around with it like I am dancing. (I try to make sure that no one is nearby with their camera. I can just imagine how silly it would look on the Internet!) You will be amazed at how many items you lift and move in a given day. Tiny tip-toe ballerina steps or doing the bunny hop to put away light objects is more exercise than you would think. Moving through the house with sliding, gliding steps to put away that one shoe that ended up in the living room almost feels a bit like Tai Chi. I have waltzed my son’s backpack full of books all the way to his bedroom, gave it a final dip and tossed it to the bed with a flourish. It’s cool to finally be able to lead when I am dancing!

Other tips include: Walk just a little more. Park further from the door when you shop. Make one lap around the store before you begin shopping. Gardening can be a form of exercising in nature. Walk your dog. Begin dancing during commercials. Tone the arm muscles by doing several arm curls with items you move to a different spot. Take the stairs when you can. If you are going up higher than the second or third floor, take one flight of stairs and then catch the elevator on the second floor. Put more movement into your regular routine whenever you can. Small things add up!

Watching TV-- I have my TV in the same room with my elliptical machine. I almost put it in the basement where exercise equipment belongs, but remembered the exercise bike and rowing machine that lived down there for almost 3 years before I gave them away, practically unused. The handlebars made excellent drying racks for damp clothes. I tried the workout while watching TV method. Didn’t work. Then I switched to using it during commercials. That seems to work better. Experiment and find what works for you. Abs-- Like most women that have borne children, my abs could use some extra attention. Sit-ups? Don’t think so, too much like real exercise and I can’ t seem to imaginatively incorporate them into my ‘exercise without exercising’ program. I have tried to make them fun by having a very young child sit on my ankles and when I sit up I tickle them. Then down and up again. Still feels like exercise, so I seldom do them. This toning tip was in a woman’s magazine decades ago. A few times a day...tighten up the abdominal muscles and hold it for a short time...that’s it! Imagine you are attempting to have your belly button touch your spine. Then try to increase the time you hold the abdominal muscles in tight. It's more difficult than it seems, but with practice most people can extend the length of time they hold in their abdominal muscles. It seems to improve posture too. One thing I do that feels like real exercise but isn’t too awful is to do morning leg lifts before I get out of bed. I turn so I am sitting on the edge of the bed, then lay back and very slowly lift my legs as high as I can and then very slowly lower them down. I do a minimum of 10, but try to do more if I feel like it. I began doing these when I overstressed my back. A massage therapist said that a simple way to strengthen back muscles August 2014

I admire people that can stick to a schedule and exercise daily. I’m finally accepting that I’m not one of them, but I want to do something to insure I stay fit and healthy. I make sure I eat well and supplement wisely. If I manage to work up a sweat, I drink a healthy energy drink--ACT from Total Health Foods is my favorite, and I do my 'no exercising, exercises'. If you have tips on exercise, please send them my way. Thank you, I enjoy reading comments and suggestions. . Have a healthy, fun and fit life!

THE FIRST PEACE “The first peace, which is the most important, is that which comes within the souls of people when they realize their relationship, their ONENESS with the universe and all its powers, and when they realize at the center of the universe dwells the Great Spirit, and that its center is really everywhere, it is within each of us.” ― Black Elk, Oglala Sioux Wheat today is nothing like the wheat of our grandparents, according to Dr. William Davis. Genetic manipulation, blending different crops (called hybridization), and modern processing methods have changed wheat completely. It is no longer healthy to eat, and should not be included in anyone’s diet, continues Dr. Davis. Additionally, according to Dr. Peter Glidden, the gluten proteins contained in wheat are hard for the body to digest. In turn this can lead to intestinal problems and other chronic diseases.

BIRTHING DEATH A wonderful new book, "Birthing Death" is now available. Read this compelling drama and you will be more deeply equipped to insure the best medical care for your loved one even at death’s door, and survive this journey that will take you to the edge of your strength. Take it into the special space of the “Waiting Room”—a waiting room like no other when helping another traverse life’s final stage, where you go to catch your breath and seek some solace in sometimes suffocating grief. Learn survival and advocacy tips and then become aware of the pivotal part you play in your loved-one’s active dying, for what you do will continue to ripple forward in your life, and likely in your loved-one’s life beyond the veil. It is unique in well-developed grief literature in that it combines: •

EMOTIONAL: The emotional experience of the primary caregiver in witnessing a dying loved one

•

FAMILY DYNAMICS: The gut-busting experiences of family discord in end-of-life decision-making

•

LEGAL & PATIENT ADVOCACY: Toolbag Tips to employ in the midst of deep grief and confusion

•

SPIRITUAL: A re-framing of the entire experience into the most sacred of spiritual journeys

Because she is an Elder Law Attorney, Geriatric Care Manager, and most significantly, a sole caregiver of over twenty-two years, Sue Fabian relays this human experience fully laid bare— the twenty-seven day vigil she took in assisting her dying mother walking the bridge between this life and the August 2014

next, and now hopes to lend a helping hand to those of you presently crossing similar bridges. She also seeks to help readers understand that this is a most sacred moment—helping to birth your loved one into the Great Beyond as their body dies away. It was this core concept, along with reaching out for the lifelines of family, friends, and spiritual helpers that helped her and will help you keep together head and heart while being torn by watching your loved one fade away. Endorsements from hospice, clergy and university educators include: · “It will help you know how to BE with your dying loved one while maintaining your sanity.” · “Sue is especially insightful about the dilemmas of managing a loved one’s care within the American medical model that is fraught with inconsistencies, inefficiencies and sometimes, incompetence. Doesn’t anybody 'get it?'... Sue does!”

Share Your Super Power SACRED GEOMETRY CLASS

Presented by Deanna Chisholm, Ph.D., Ritual Master • • •

With the World! You were born with gifts, creative talents and natural genius. There is something special and unique to you alone that you need to share with the world. You may not believe it, but there’s a problem out there that needs attention, and your life is the solution. You’ve got something inside you that could bring joy to, improve the life of, or change the path for someone else. In truth, all of us have unique abilities that if honed, practiced and perfected, would transform not only ourselves but the whole world around us. Your natural genius, or real-life super power, is hardwired within you. You can do this thing(s) in a way that no one else can. You have such a strong desire to do it that you can’t NOT do it! When you tap into your super power, you begin to step into your greatness. When expressing your gifts and serving others, you will experience a joy and richness not found in everyday life.

When operating from this place, you are raising your consciousness – your energetic vibration. As your energetic frequency raises, it acts as a beacon, and you inspire others to do the same. The more you feel joy and happiness, the greater the signal you send out into the world, influencing others in a positive and helpful way. This is a way of transforming yourself and others that many people do not think about. Just by being who you were born to be, you become an agent of change. “'What lies behind us and what lies before us are tiny matters compared to what lies within us.” ~ Ralph Waldo Emerson You have to be who you are. That’s where the magic lies. The better you become at that, the better the world becomes. Ironically, we all crave the freedom that being ourselves brings; yet it’s the most difficult endeavor most of us take on. Very few of us ever accept our ability to make a difference, and even fewer people do anything about it. We believe we’re not good enough. Who are we to try and make a difference? We have years of others’ judgments, and our own faults and failures to prove that we’re not worthy of such higher missions. Our education system is not set up to honor or develop our individual gifts and talents. We spend most of our lives trying to conform to the norm, rather than expressing our individuality. In reality, you hold the keys to changing someone’s life. Possibly several. Maybe millions. You have more potential than you’ll ever use in this lifetime. Whatever you’ve accomplished up to now is just a small fraction of what you can do!

most appreciated? 4. In the end, how will you measure your life? Commit to expressing your passions and talents, and you’ll change lives. You’ll transform yourself, and as an added bonus, you’ll help to transform others along the way.

We experience hardship, pain and struggle when we’re not living in alignment with our values. When we hold back our gifts, or never acknowledge or develop our talents, we struggle. If you’re experiencing trials and tribulations, struggles and challenges, start by asking yourself if you’re tuned into, and utilizing, your natural talents.

Extending Youth Aging of the body is the rate of degeneration of the body balanced against its rate of tissue regeneration. While it is thought to be related to chronological time, aging is not directly related to time at all. One person may become very feeble in their forties while another may be very vibrant into their nineties or beyond. As we age, free radicals damage the walls and nucleus of our cells. Free radicals are now considered the main cause of disease and aging. They are unstable cells that are created by “stress”, toxicity, nutritional deficiencies, and poor diet and lifestyle choices. Their damage is usually observed on the skin in the form of wrinkles and brown spots. But the greater damage is deeper inside, in the vital organs, joints, and muscles. The damage is worse in older bodies, because they tend to produce fewer antioxidants, the free radical “gobblers”. When the body slows down, it is because it is overburdened with all the toxins it has accumulated over the years. Toxin buildup can lead to circulatory and digestive problems, slowing of glandular production and an abundance of health problems. Without the proper quantity of digestive enzymes, there is an increase in the rate of malnutrition, and a lifetime of impacted feces. Toxicity also causes an immune system weakness. Microbes increase, causing more toxins and damage as their waste adds to the existing situation. Now we have an aged unhealthy person, a person who has poor quality circulation, poor digestion, increasing quantities of free radicals, chemical poisonings, poor elimination and decreased nutrition to

the cells. This is called the aging process and “dis-ease”. Disease can be described as a pattern of symptoms. Most of us try to eliminate the patterns of symptoms, declaring the problem solved, while the preconditions that created the condition remains. Not solving the cause of the diseases adds to the aging process, as well as later bringing on new symptoms or even the old ones back. The causes of disease and its associated symptoms are what increase aging. Aging is the result of a bad diet, poor digestion, malnutrition, and toxicity that cause free radical damage and imbalance to the tissues and cells. This is the number one cause of poor health. When there are toxins, they are continuously released into the body, creating damage. So the cleaner and purer food is, the more perfect the digestion and the cleaner the colon and body tissues become, and the younger and healthier we are. Enzyme supplementation, matched to the body’s specific needs, can help to promote better digestion, and hence better health. Specific individual non-invasive testing can determine the best foods to eat, the need for digestive enzymes, toxin reducing agents, and the nutrients needed to slow down aging and reduce the production of free radicals. With proper diet and supplementation, youth can be extended, and aging reduced. Dr. Linda Solomon D.C., CCWFN works at TLC Holistic Wellness in Livonia.

“Your time is limited, so don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma – which is living with the results of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition. They somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” ~Steve Jobs

There is a Reason You’re Here!

I am sure God will pardon a man who will use his reason and cannot believe, rather than a man who believes blindly instead of using the faculties He has given him......WE MUST REASON; and when reason proves to us the truth of these prophets and great man about whom the ancient books speak in every country, we shall believe in them. We shall believe in them when we see such prophets among ourselves. We shall then find that they were not peculiar men, but only illustrations of certain principles. Vivekanda

Magic Oils What if there were magic oils that could help unborn babies become smarter, and help kids recover more quickly from illnesses while improving their mental abilities, attention span, and reading abilities? What if adults could avoid pain, diabetes, heart attacks, strokes, and more? What if there were even tests available to see if you had enough of this magic oil? The good news is that the answer is yes to all of the above! Here’s how it works: From babies to adults, obtaining the proper ratio of Omega3’s to Omega-6’s oils is critically important. Although studies are just beginning to show how Omega-3’s have been helpful in treating hypertension, coronary heart disease, arthritis, cancer, and other inflammatory and autoimmune diseases, my experience has already shown that they are invaluable. And my patients have often told me how these oils have made a difference in their lives. The two types of Omega-3’s are EPA and DHA. Both have special areas of importance. The gray matter of the brain is made of DHA so it is most important for normal brain function. In a recent study, poor reading levels, memory problems, and behavioral problems were associated with low levels of DHA. The normal growth and development in children and babies depend upon a healthy amount of these oils. And it is very, very important for pregnant mothers to ensure that the baby’s brain develops properly. These oils are called essential because they cannot be manufactured by the body so they must be obtained through diet or dietary supplements. In the past, when most people lived close to oceans, seafood provided a good source of Omega-3’s. In today’s world, we must limit our consumption of fish (especially certain kinds of fish) to avoid mercury and other contaminants. The best sources of Omega-3’s are certain wild-caught ocean fish, eggs, walnuts, pumpkin seeds, and grass-fed red meats. Certain animals have the ability to consume grasses and leaves that are high in Omega-3 oils and convert them for our use. However, it’s important to be 100% grass fed since the Omega-3 oils in their bodies quickly plummet when they are fed grains. The longer they eat grain, the greater the fatty acid imbalance becomes which then becomes passed on to us as consumers. Vegans and vegetarians may obtain Omega-3 oils from algae or convert a portion of the flaxseed oil which is in a form called alpha-linolenic acid (ALA) into Omega-3 oils. Other sources of ALA that need to be converted include certain nuts and seeds and dark, green leafy vegetables.

In the past, Omega-6 oils were obtained by foraging for raw nuts and seeds – hunter/ gatherer style. Today, we can purchase good quality Omega-6 oils such as primrose oil, borage oil, black currant seed oil, sesame seed oil, sunflower seed oil, and hempseed oil. Although the biochemical pathway of Omega-6 oils ends with arachidonic acid (AA) an excess of which leads to inflammation, the function of this inflammation is somewhat controversial. Having a proper ratio between your Omega-6 and Omega-3 oils and avoiding unhealthy, processed oils is most important. When Omega-6 oils are processed, they are toxic to the body. The four processed and genetically modified oils that must always be avoided include: soybean oil, canola oil, corn oil, and cottonseed oil. Other unhealthy Omega-6 oils come from grain fed beef (not grass-fed), processed foods, and hydrogenated oils. Almost all oils used by restaurants for cooking, frying, or preserving food are processed Omega-6 oils. Prepared foods are also made with these unhealthy oils. Unless we go out of our way to eat natural foods, we can easily end up with an unhealthy ratio of Omega-6 to Omega-3 oils. Our ancestors evolved from a diet that contained roughly equal amounts of Omega-6 and Omega-3 fats. Ideally, the ratio should be somewhere between 3.5:1 and 1:1. Instead, the ratio for most Americans is estimated to be 25:1. People who already have an imbalance in their Omega-6 to Omega-3 oils often depend on some of the modern day NAISD’s (Non-steroidal Anti-inflammatory Drugs) to handle their pain. But these are bad news. This is a category of drugs known as COX-2 inhibitors. COX-2 is the enzyme involved with inflammation. The good news is that by taking at least 3 grams which is equivalent to two tablespoons or six standard capsules of good Omega-3 fish oil, the Cox-2 enzyme is blocked. This reduces pain and inflammation without the harmful side effects of the drugs. Before taking Omega-3 oils, make sure they are fresh and free of toxins. The better oils are micro-filtered. Once a bottle of oil is opened (whether capsules or liquid), store them in the refrigerator to keep them from going rancid. Don’t waste money on inexpensive oils that won’t do the job of protecting your body and your mind. Fish oil houses where they process the fish can have 10 levels of oil quality all being produced from the same location. You don’t want to get your oil from the bottom of the fish barrel.

16 Body Mind Spirit Guide | August 2014

Recently, some of the Scandinavian over the counter oils had their vitamin A and Vitamin D content altered due to government regulations from those countries. They wanted uniform vitamin A and D quantities for labeling purposes (and the fish weren’t cooperating) so the natural vitamin A and D was destroyed and replaced with synthetic vitamins. I carry five different variations of omega-3 oils in my office. Between my Zyto Nutritional Analysis and muscle response testing, I can test to see which oil is best for each person. To obtain the best results, people need some additional Omega-3 cofactors to best utilize the Omega-3 oils. We recently discovered a lab that offers a blood spot test that can accurately tell what your Omega 6 to Omega-3 ratio is for a reasonable price. This is very important to know for you and your family. To learn more about this test and what you can do to improve your health ratio, join us August 28 th at the workshop! Dr. William H.

Why would you want

you in a previous lifetime, and you are still holding on to the anger from that incident. Finding out what happened in a previous life could be extremely liberating for you.

to experience a past life? Do you believe you have lived before? More and more people are starting to accept the idea of reincarnation. Have you ever met someone for the first time and felt an instant rapport with them? Have you or someone you know had an amazing talent since a young age? Have you ever felt very attracted to another country despite never having been there in this lifetime? Or, have you instantly disliked someone the first time you met them and have no idea why? Perhaps you have a fear of water or some other phobia and have no explanation for why you have this fear. The answers to all of the above questions may be found in a past life. You may not be aware of this, but early Christianity did not reject the notion of reincarnation. It was not until the emperor Constantine convened the Council of Nicea, that the idea of reincarnation was removed from the religion. The belief in reincarnation actually lasted until about 553 A.D. Many countries accept the idea that we have lived before. What if you have lived before? Would you like to know who you may have been? Would you like to know if you had some talents in a previous life? Perhaps you can even bring back some of these talents by going to one of your previous incarnations. As an example, suppose you are struggling with anxiety or fear in this lifetime. Wouldnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t it be terrific if you could go back to a life where you were quite brave or courageous and actually bring back some of that courage with you? This actually is possible. Perhaps something traumatic happened to you in a previous life. If you are familiar with Dr. Brian Weiss, he tells the story of one of his patients who had terrible fears and anxieties, and especially fear of water. She also had choking sensations. When she went to a past life, she found out that she and her baby had died in a Tsunami. Once she learned what had happened to her, she was able to let go of many of the fears that she had been holding on to. Dr. Weiss stated that he had used psychoanalysis with this person for three years and it did not help. When he did the past life therapy, however, she was able to overcome her problems. So much can be learned by experiencing past lives. Perhaps you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t get along with a parent, spouse, or sibling despite all your efforts. It may be that this person did something unkind to

You may be wondering what the purpose of reincarnation is. There are many possible explanations: helping you to accept full responsibility for your choices and your actions; understanding your true nature and who you really are; understanding and accepting others; freeing yourself from all limitations; and learning lessons from your experiences in order to gain wisdom. There are many reasons you might like to experience a past life. You might want to know how many past lives you have lived, or which lifetime this one is for you. Is there someone in this life that you knew in a past life? Is there a lesson from a past life that would help you in this life? Is a talent/skill/ability from a past life one that you now have? Perhaps you are wondering if there was a talent/skill/ability from a past life that you could cultivate now. You may find an answer to why you have a fear or a phobia in this lifetime, or discover how to resolve old karma. You could gain insights into a medical condition. You may learn something from a past life that could explain problems in a relationship in this lifetime. Finally, you may learn something from a past life that can explain how you feel about yourself now. Phil Rosenbaum As you can see, there are many reasons to experience a past life. If this is something you are interested in pursuing, please contact Phil Rosenbaum at the Self-Esteem Academy for more information. Call: 248-688-6469.

Don’t Hope… Decide! While waiting to pick up a friend at the airport in Portland, Oregon, I had one of those life-changing experiences that you hear other people talk about — the kind that sneaks up on you unexpectedly. This one occurred a mere two feet away from me. Straining to locate my friend among the passengers deplaning through the jet way, I noticed a man coming toward me carrying two light bags. He stopped right next to me to greet his family. First he motioned to his youngest son (maybe six years old) as he laid down his bags. They gave each other a long, loving hug. As they separated enough to look in each other’s face, I heard the father say, “It’s so good to see you, son. I missed you so much!” His son smiled somewhat shyly, averted his eyes and replied softly, “Me, too, Dad!” Then the man stood up, gazed in the eyes of his oldest son (maybe nine or ten) and while cupping his son’s face in his hands said, “You’re already quite the young man. I love you very much, Zach!” They too hugged a most loving, tender hug. While this was happening, a baby girl (perhaps one or one-and-a-half) was squirming excitedly in her mother’s arms, never once taking her little eyes off the wonderful sight of her returning father. The man said, “Hi, baby girl!” as he gently took the child from her mother. He quickly kissed her face all over and then held her close to his chest while rocking her from side to side. The little girl instantly relaxed and simply laid her head on his shoulder, motionless in pure contentment. After several moments, he handed his daughter to his oldest son and declared, “I’ve saved the best for last!” and proceeded to give his wife the longest, most passionate kiss I ever August 2014

remember seeing. He gazed into her eyes for several seconds and then silently mouthed. “I love you so much!” They stared at each other’s eyes, beaming big smiles at one another, while holding both hands. For an instant they reminded me of newlyweds, but I knew by the age of their kids that they couldn’t possibly be. I puzzled about it for a moment then realized how totally engrossed I was in the wonderful display of unconditional love not more than an arm’s length away from me. I suddenly felt uncomfortable, as if I was invading something sacred, but was amazed to hear my own voice nervously ask, “Wow! How long have you two been married? “Been together fourteen years total, married twelve of those.” he replied, without breaking his gaze from his lovely wife’s face. “Well then, how long have you been away?” I asked. The man finally turned and looked at me, still beaming his joyous smile. “Two whole days!” Two days? I was stunned. By the intensity of the greeting, I had assumed he’d been gone for at least several weeks – if not months. I know my expression betrayed me.

The Circle Everything the Power of the World does is done in a circle. The sky is round, and I have heard that the earth is round like a ball, and so are all the stars. Birds make their nests in circles, for theirs is the same religion as ours. The sun comes forth and goes down again in a circle. The moon does the same, and both are round. Even the seasons form a great circle in their changing, and always come back again to where they were. The life of man is a circle from childhood to childhood, and so it is in everything where power moves. Our teepees were round like the nests of birds, and they were always set in a circle, the nation's hoop, a nest of many nests, where the Great Spirit meant for us to hatch our children. Black Elk, Oglala Sioux, 1863- 1950

For all those words you that you have not yet spoken, please speak them.

I said almost offhandedly, hoping to end my intrusion with some semblance of grace (and to get back to searching for my friend), “I hope my marriage is still that passionate after twelve years!”

For all those things you have wanted to do, please do them.

The man suddenly stopped smiling.

We (the world) need you to follow your heart, trust your gut and speak your mind.

He looked me straight in the eye, and with forcefulness that burned right into my soul, he told me something that left me a different person. He told me, “Don’t hope, friend… decide!” Then he flashed me his wonderful smile again, shook my hand and said, “God bless!” - By Michael D. Hargrove

For all those times you wanted to open your heart and take a chance and trust, please take the chance now.

Yes you are here because you are needed in this world. And Now means there’s never a too-late. So go, live. ~S.C. Lourie P a g e 19

Houses have an energy field that is more than the combination of architecture and décor. A house contains the energetic memory of all who have lived there and all that has occurred within it and the property it sits on. Below are some ways to heal your house or work place and encourage an atmosphere of harmony and peace. Fresh air and light make a huge difference in the physical and psychic energy of a place. Just opening up to nature helps a lot. Many office buildings and apartments don’t give you this option so live Plants, negative ion machines or crystal salt lamps can generate a negative electrical charge that energizes and relaxes body and soul. Full spectrum lighting can make the difference between headaches and exhaustion or feeling bright and alert. Full spectrum bulbs of all kinds are relatively inexpensive and easy to find at places like Home Depot or Lowes. The previous inhabitants of your home or office may have left emotional, mental or spiritual energy behind that is not conducive to your well -being. Clearing their energy before you move in is optimal, but it can be done later. Once you’ve been absorbing it over time, you may need some personal clearing along with your house!

- Get three unscented, white, short to medium height taper candles. Stand them in the shape of an equilateral triangle, one candle at each corner. This system is describing how to do a two story house with basement, but you can allocate the three burn cycles in whatever way makes sense for your situation. Create your triangle in any room or on any story of the house where you have privacy to work. No need to carry it to each floor. For a work space, you could do it at home, but visualize it happening at work! The light of each flame is a pure representation of the unconditionally loving True Source of Life often called God. or your house may be needed as well in more challenging situations. There is a First People technique called smudging, where sage is burned and the smoke blown throughout the house as a carrier for prayers; asking to clear energy of previous owners and to receive peace and harmony. Sage smoke carries intentions and prayers so they more easily connect with God, or as some call it The Great Spirit, so healing can happen; it doesn’t do the clearing itself. Blow the smoke into all corners, closets, under and around anything, into dark places and attics, where energy tends to collect. When moving into a space that is already furnished, move furnishings into new positions to release stagnant energy. Painting and cleaning can have a huge impact, or replacing old carpet. While you do these things, welcome love and light to fill the space and clear anything left by the previous inhabitants. If you feel uncomfortable or allergic when using specific furniture it’s best to get rid of it. It could be dust and mold, but is likely also the psychic energy from people who used it before. Feng Shui is the Chinese practice of influencing what comes and goes through your living space and life. It can assist the energy of a home to be constantly flowing and alive, preventing the buildup of negative energy. Its principles can be employed to block influences from your neighbors who fight or don’t like you or between your bedroom and other people in your house! There’s a lot to learn if you read up on this system. One of my favorite tools uses a small mirror facing outward toward a source of unwanted energy. You can slip it into a closet, behind a picture or another mirror; aiming it outward to deflect unwanted energy away from your space. Drawing a 5 pointed star or pentacle on the mirror neutralizes negative energy so you are not sending it back to people. While I doubt the star is traditional, without it the mirror can amplify what it repels. The following candle ceremony creates a long lasting field of light and love that continues to clear negativity from previous situations or ongoing negativity from daily life. Once completed it continues to work for years to come. August 2014

- Light the candles and visualize their light filling the basement, all the corners and cabinets, behind or under any equipment or furniture, into walls and ceiling, etc. Burn candles 1/3 of the way down and then blow them out and store for 3 days before doing the next step. - On day 4 do the same as above for the first floor of the house while burning the second 1/3 of the candles. - Wait 3 more days and do the second floor, including attic, burning the last 1/3. Life is emotionally, mentally and spiritually messy. However our true, higher nature is unconditionally loving and clear. Having a clear home or work space can support your higher nature and a greater sense of peace and well-being for you and your family.

Dramatic 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

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.

22 Body Mind Spirit Guide | August 2014

Why You Can’t Lose Weight They say that the more calories you consume, the more weight you will gain, right? At least that’s the modern weightcontrol 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% of adults are overweight; statistics separate overweight adults from obese adults. The 75% 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 that is 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 August 2014

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

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

Healing the Body Without Drugs or Physical Intervention Wouldn’t it be nice if there was a magic pill that would heal your body’s aches, pains and even dis-ease and illness? Wouldn’t it be nice if you wouldn’t ever get sick? Wouldn’t it be nice? No Known Negative Side Effects - Many people seek a magic pill and the pharmaceutical industry wants us to believe that their pills will do that for us. But the pill I am talking about is not based on chemistry. And while this pill has side effects it is unlike the pills advocated by western medicine as there are no known negative side effects to the pill I am talking about. Source Energy Heals - Perhaps I have slightly mislead you for what I am talking about is more of a prescription than a pill, but if you follow the prescription it will drive out illness and dis-ease, fatigue and pain and allow you to live a healthy, passionate, vibrant and joyful life. The prescription is this … clear your energy body of energetic imbalances. Whether you are aware of it or not, underlying our seemingly solid bodies are vast amounts of space and energy. It is the construct of the Universe. All Life, all Matter is made of the same stuff. In its simplest terms, energy that is free flowing and connected to Source without blockage and limitation is available to heal the body of whatever physical ailments manifest. No dis-ease can exist in the perfect love and light of Source Energy. In fact, knowing the status of the energy body is a preview of what lies ahead for the physical body. How Energy Affects Health - Your energy system works very much like your body’s circulatory system. The energy system has pumps like the heart (chakras) and vessels like arteries (meridians and nadis) to deliver the energy. Since the body needs energy to live if there are blockages or the pumps are not working properly, the energy is not delivered and fatigue, pain, illness and dis-ease set in. Each disease or illness has a characteristic pattern of dysfunction. Take a look at these few examples: •

Neck pain may be due to emotional factors. The solar plexus typically has pent up emotions that might not get expressed. This affects the throat and jaw minor chakras which affect the neck.

•

Sinusitis is a congested solar plexus chakra which sends energy to the ajna chakra that controls the sinuses.

•

Cancer is a disease of abnormal cell growth. At the energetic level there is congestion in certain parts of the body that fuels this cell growth. Whatever organ is affected

you can be sure the chakra that controls that organ is congested with energy. •

Irregular heart beat or arrhythmia is affected by the heart and solar plexus chakras. These chakras are congested with dirty red energy. The cause is usually emotional in origin.

When you know the pattern of dysfunction, you can undo what was created and allow the energy to flow freely to vitalize the organs and body systems that were negatively affected. Even if you don’t know the pattern, regular and general cleaning of the energy body will keep you healthier and more vibrant and can help to eradicate dis-ease. Belief Is Not Necessary - You don’t have to believe any of this. But just like gravity you still live with its affects. While the basic understanding of the energy body goes back thousands of years to the foundation of Ayurveda and Acupuncture, science is now proving what has been known all along through the body of knowledge known as quantum physics. Going Beyond What is Thought Possible Western medicine and modern pharmaceuticals are essential to our health care system. They effectively treat symptoms so you can return to your normal state of health. However, I advocate that there is more. That we can go beyond what is normal so we can live not only a healthy life but one that is more vibrant, more joyful, more passionate, more bold than what is now considered possible. Treating the energy body will heal the body before physical symptoms manifest. It can easily propel us into a new way of being that very few have ever experienced. This is the realm of mastery, and it is meant for you and me. The choice is yours as it always was and is. Energy medicine should be used as a compliment to and not a replacement for any allopathic treatment you may be receiving.

All of Life is seeking to love you if you would only let it in. You lack nothing. You are created from the same energy as the stars, Christ and the forest. You are a thread of an intrinsic web that is a complete representation of a greater system. My intent is that you feel the wholeness and fullness of your Being by realizing that all your needs are met. I cannot emphasize enough the life-changing effects of recognizing a need as important. Just from this one simple process, I have seen profound change in my own life, in people I mentor, and during both individual sessions and retreats. When you see your need without adding shame or trying to make it happen, the Universe answers it. Psychologically, we must first do the inner work of recognizing a need and not adding the garbage on top of it. Spiritually, when we see a need/desire/dream as important we touch our soul and feel in that moment that all our needs are met. When we feel all of our needs are met, Universe/Life matches our feeling. We get stuck when we have not been taught this process, or when we are not willing to do the psychological inner work of uncovering a need. Many of us are taught to mentally strain, and just have faith that Life/God is working for us. Faith without a foundation of self-love has no foundation. What I am teaching here requires no mental proving to keep alive and it allows you to FEEL Life/God in your bones and body. The mind provides a bookmark for personal insight but is not how you embody Love/God/Christ energy as you. God is not a mental construct that you must believe really hard to make real. Your life is God. You are an expression of God. Why would you have to believe and mentally struggle to find something that really only requires a compassionate inward glance? To feel Life/God working on your behalf, you must do the inner work of recognizing your emotions and needs. Unfortunately, the very process of feeling God/Life in our cells as a living embodiment is sometimes judged as weak. When you honor your needs, self-love is seen as a luxury and not the core foundation to your divine connection. Your emotions and needs are the soil to everything you express in your life. Every emotion is an expression of an unmet need. When you try to find God or happiness in the mind; you will see emotions as something to push past, analyze or ignore. Emotions (fear, doubt, anger, grief) are what got you on the road of suffering, but they can also get you off that road. The off ramp IS the on ramp. You suffer when you try to avoid pain through co-dependent relationships, addictions and selfsabotage. When you witness an emotion and then ask what you need, you tap into the flow of Grace that is waiting for you to yield. Honoring a need does NOT mean going into strategy or trying to get it from someone else. Can you honor a need as real and valid within YOU? When YOU honor it as important, God/Universe will rush in to meet it. Sometimes when I take people through this process, they feel so loved through honoring their need, that the need falls away.

28 Body Mind Spirit Guide | August 2014

These principals are life-changing and take years to learn, yet the benefit is immediate. How many times have you denied yourself creativity or understanding because you felt you should just “get over it”? For example, in the core of a woman’s genes is the limiting belief, “A good woman does not have needs and must sacrifice hers to be a loving woman.” In the core of a man is the limiting belief, “A strong man can do it on his own. I must ‘man up’, push past, and overcome. Emotions and needs are weak.” These beliefs are based on separation. When we realize we are part of an interdependent co-arising web, we discover that giving and receiving are the same. Needs are not weak. Would you judge a flower as weak for needing water? When you honor your needs you become stronger...not weaker. Honor your needs and allow yourself to be in energetic alignment with the Universe/God and your dreams. When it comes to personal happiness, the gentler you are with yourself, the more powerful you feel. There are nine fundamental needs that all humans have: subsistence, protection, affection, understanding, participation, leisure, creation, identity and freedom. There are about 20 more fundamental needs that are also very important (i.e. acceptance, spiritual connection, safety, etc.) but these 20 are represented in the nine. In sum, the three reasons we deny our fundamental needs are: 1. We judge needs as weak and shame ourselves. (I shouldn’t need this.) 2. We do not take the time to recognize our emotions, or be aware of our needs. 3. We try to make the need happen. (Trying to prove to another our need is real.) When a person recognizes a need without shame, the need is usually distilled down to its noble truth. Meaning, you may believe you need support but when you honor this need, you realize you really need creativity. Or, when you honor your need to be right, you realize you really crave self-acceptance.

Distilling a need down to its noble truth cannot happen without self-honoring. Honoring your needs will not make you a selfish glutton but rather help you to: a. Feel safe to open your heart. b. Create personal responsibility. c. Give you the foundation for speaking boundaries. d. Empower you to make choices in alignment with your true desires. Nothing is without purpose. Nothing. You are part of an intrinsic pattern that is continually trying to help you grow and become more of your already present brilliant self. Life cannot support the plant that is trying to go back into the Earth! Likewise Life/God doesn’t know about your problems and playing small. Every day an evolutionary impulse is seeking to express as you. Through self-love and honoring your needs, you open your heart to be in greater alignment with the energy that is wanting to help you. There is a force that is continually cheering you on to grow...grow…grow! As you continue to practice self-love and turning your glance inward, you discover something that uniquely only you can do.

Believe in Yourself There may be days when you get up in the morning and things aren’t the way you had hoped they would be. That’s when you have to tell yourself that things will get better. There are times when people disappoint you and let you down. But those are the times when you must remind yourself to trust your own judgments and opinions, to keep your life focused on believing in yourself. There will be challenges to face and changes to make in your life, and it is up to you to accept them. Constantly keep yourself headed in the right direction for you. It may not be easy at times, but in those times of struggle you will find a stronger sense of who you are. So when the days come that are filled with frustration and unexpected responsibilities, remember to believe in yourself and all you want your life to be. Because the challenges and changes will only help you to find the goals that you know are meant to come true for you. “No Effort is ever wasted. Although some pay dividends later than you think. Do not imagine that you “wasted your time” because something didn’t turn out right. There is no such thing as a “waste” in the Universe. Everything— Everything yields benefit. It’s true. And your life will show you this. So don’t decry the “effort that failed” All things lead to your highest good. You just may not know it yet. “ Neale Donald Walsch

36 Body Mind Spirit Guide | August 2014

Life Throws a Lesson at You A young and successful executive was travelling down a neighborhood street, going a bit too fast in his new Jaguar. He was watching for kids darting out from between parked cars and slowed down when he thought he saw something. As his car passed, no children appeared, instead, a brick smashed into the Jag's side door. He slammed on the brakes and spun the Jag back to the spot from where the brick had been thrown. He jumped out of the car, grabbed some kid and pushed him up against a parked car, shouting, "What was that all about and who are you? Just what the heck are you doing?" Building up a head of steam, he went on. "That's a new car and that brick you threw is gonna cost a lot of money. Why did you do it?"

Forget mistakes. Forget failures. Forget everything except what you’re going to do now and do it. Today is your lucky day. -Will Durant

INTERDIMINSIONAL HEALING 4 Pathways to Your Master Teachers-

"Please, mister, please, I'm sorry. I didn't know what else to do!" pleaded the youngster. "I threw the brick because no one else would stop." Tears was dripping down the boy's chin as he pointed around the parked car. "It's my brother," he said. "He rolled off the curb and fell out of his wheelchair and I can't lift him up." Sobbing, the boy asked the man, "Would you please help me get him back into his wheelchair? He's hurt and he's too heavy for me."

Moved beyond words, the driver tried to swallow the rapidly swelling lump in his throat. He lifted the young man back into the wheelchair and took out his handkerchief and wiped the scrapes and cuts, checking to see that everything was going to be okay.

Heaven’s not beyond the clouds, it’s just beyond the fear. Heaven’s not beyond the clouds, it’s for us to find right here.

"Thank you, sir. And God bless you," the grateful child said to him. The man then watched the little boy push his brother to the sidewalk toward their home. It was a long walk back to his Jaguar... he walked slow. He never did repair the side door. He kept the dent to remind him not to go through life so fast that someone has to throw a brick at you to get your attention.

~Garth Brooks

Life whispers in your soul and speaks to your heart. Sometimes, when you don't have the time to listen... Life throws a brick at you. It's your choice: Listen to the whispers of your soul or wait for the brick. Do you sometimes ignore loved ones because your life is too fast and busy leaving them to wonder whether you really love them? Slow down and be present for the people in your life, life is about people and you never know when you will end up alone on the side of the road! August 2014

Early Trauma: The Split it Causes: As Suggested by Dr. Franz Ruppert

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.

German psychologist and trauma constellations specialist, Dr. Franz Ruppert, contends that early trauma causes the psyche to split into three parts that he calls: the Trauma Self, the Survival Self, and the Healthy Self. According to Ruppert, most trauma occurs with the primary relationship for every human being, his or her relationship with mother—generally in the first trimester of pregnancy. Dr. Ruppert agrees with German psychotherapist and former priest, Bert Hellinger, creator of Family Constellations, that trauma can also occur during or immediately following birth—in a fashion similar to what Hellinger calls “The Interrupted Reaching Out.”

Constellation of Intention

Early traumas have a lasting impact on the individual’s developing personality, and influence the path an individual will choose in life—including whether the individual will have a happy and successful life, or one filled with pain. 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.

Franz Ruppert developed the “Constellation of Intention.” It differs in format from a traditional Family Constellation, created by Bert Hellinger. In a Family Constellation the client shares briefly with the facilitator what he or she would like to work on. The client is then asked to choose a representative for him or herself, and for family members as suggested by the facilitator. In the Constellation of Intention, the client chooses only one representative—for his or her intention—and is then asked to step into the constellation as him or herself. In the constellation of Intention, there is no representative for the client—the client represents him or herself. Hellinger suggests a client is asked to pick someone to represent him or her—to prevent traumatization, whereas Ruppert maintains the act of “representing” him or herself is what prevent re-traumatization of the client. There is significant disagreement and criticism of Franz Ruppert’s methods from most traditional Family Constellations practitioners and facilitators—not only for Ruppert’s method of setting up a constellations, but many also object to Ruppert’s philosophies.

Reconsidering the “Gospel” Truth As someone who is interested in creating a world united in love where every person feels safe, respected, and seen as the beautiful child of God that they are, I continually seek to understand the reasons why the world is not like this (yet) and what needs to change so that someday this vision can become a reality. There are many reasons why the world does not feel safe for everyone, but my heart is called to challenge the role that organized religion plays in the perpetuation of fear, separatism, and discrimination. As a western woman who was raised Catholic, I have the most to say about Christianity and its role in the suppression of women, because this is the area I have the most personal experience with; however, my thoughts about Christianity apply to all religions and institutions who use their power to control and discriminate against any woman, man, or child. For centuries, Christianity, Islam, Judaism, and most religions have twisted and distorted Holy Scriptures to justify the discrimination, suppression, and abuse of women and anyone who is not in the dominant group. A striking example of this is the teaching that Eve, representing all women, is inferior to Adam, who represents all men. This conclusion that women are inferior to men stems from the bible passage that says Eve was created second and was responsible for original sin. As evidence that this belief is alive and well, I saw a quote on the front of a Catholic magazine that said “Eve, by her disobedience, tied the knot of disgrace for the human race…” Spreading this damaging, discriminatory message in the name of God perpetuates the belief that women brought original sin into the world (not true!) and as a punishment for this must be subservient to men. Twisting scriptures to denigrate women (or anyone) under the name of God is not acceptable.

Interestingly, within the Christian church, it was a group of all men who interpreted the scriptures and decided that women could not be deaconesses or priestesses. It was also a group of men who decided which books would be included in the bible. Quite notably, none of the scriptures written by women were chosen. This imbalanced patriarchal hierarchy is still very much present in Catholic, Protestant, and NonDenominational sects of Christianity. One clear example of this is the fact that women cannot be pastors or priests (in most religions). Another example of this is how the American nuns have recently come under attack by the Vatican because they are asking for shared power in the church. These fear-based, divisive, discriminatory teachings about women have created a belief within the collective consciousness that women should be subservient to men, which is one of the reasons why atrocities like genital mutilation, forced prostitution, acid burning, rape, and other forms of violence against women exist. Yes, there are other factors that contribute to these expressions of violence against women, but organized religion is arguably one of the most influential and powerful institutions that shape societal views about the value of women. If we are going to create a world where all people feel safe, respected, and seen with eyes of love, then we need to keep questioning and challenging the ways that institutions use their influence to keep women and others disempowered. Although I have spoken mostly about the role Christianity plays in the discrimination of women, most organized religions twist scriptures to spread false messages of hate about people who are gay, lesbian, bisexual or transgendered. This is yet another way that shame and guilt are used to control people, but that is another story for another time. A good way to shine some light on

the fear-based, divisive belief systems of our world’s organized religions is to look more consciously and critically at the messages that are being shared as “Gospel” truth. Just because you have heard or read something 1,000 times, does not make it true. A good test to determine if religious teaching is false is to ask the following questions: 1. Does the teaching reflect the truth that God is love? 2. Does the teaching acknowledge that as God’s children all people are equal and deserve to be treated accordingly? 3. Does the teaching recognize that regardless of one’s religion, gender, or sexual orientation, God does not have favorites and sees us all the same? If the answer to any of these questions is no, the teaching is not true and is merely an attempt to keep control in the hands of the few. God is, has always been, and will always be about love. Organized religions, under the supposed authority of God, have continued to spread false teachings that are rooted in judgment, separation, and discrimination for centuries. Every time a person can see through these false teachings, a shift happens within the collective consciousness and the world becomes a safer, more loving place for everyone. By seeing the truth and choosing love, each of us has an opportunity to transform these outdated belief systems and create a new way forward that is guided by compassion, acceptance, and unity.

Seaside Reflections As we wrap up our last few weeks of summer, life will get really busy. We are so busy getting ready for our kids to get back to school, finish up our last vacation time running here and there, and wishing that the sun would stay out just a little longer. But as always, things come to an end and we must prepare for the new adventures that fall brings. One wonderful thing about living in Michigan is being surrounded by water. Going to the beach and feeling the sand between our toes and breathing in deeply the smell of hot-dogs and hamburgers on the grill always brings a smile to our face. As we spend these last few weeks in the warmth of the sun, it is an amazing time to reflect upon what you feel you have achieved or maybe not achieved in your life this year. It’s not a time to feel down or sorry for yourself but a time to listen and be at peace in the moment. Each person has their own unique and personal refection. Gaze into the mirror of your life and see what is staring back at you. What needs to be changed…what needs to be removed…what needs to be added? One thing that we do when at our beautiful Michigan beaches is to pick up sea shells. It’s amazing to marvel at these beautiful creations that come to

us as gifts from the sea. Because with that shell, you hold a heartfelt memory of that day that you will hold dear to your heart. Some shells we can hold in our hand. Some we can hold to our ears and listen to the sound of ancient waves from lives past and it always makes us feel more connected to Mother Earth, her water and of course to the womb where we all have come from. As we listen to these sea shells, it reminds us to listen to our inner voice, stay true to our values and know what and who we have become. The universe has called you to come to that spot and reflect on being in that moment and being in a sense of joy and happiness. Allow the waves to roll in, envisioning abundance flowing into your life. Use this time to cleanse away your fears and worries. The shell represents getting ready to let go of the ebb and flow of the emotional tides in our lives and to become aware of life’s small and beautiful blessings. Use this time to reflect on what blessings have come to you so far this summer. Closing your eyes and feeling the soft breeze on your skin, the warmth of the sun on your shoulders- - what blessings are being revealed to you? What gratitude will you carry with you into the fall and winter months? Summer is about growth and fertility. There is still time to take advantage of the suns power and help manifest the visions that you have set for yourself on this day, at the beach with those that you love.

HONK IF YOU LOVE JESUS The other day I went to the local religious book store, where I saw a HONK IF YOU LOVE JESUS bumper sticker. I bought it and put it on the back bumper of my car, and I'm really glad I did. What an uplifting experience followed! I was stopped at the light at a busy intersection, just lost in thought about the Lord, and didn't notice that the light had changed. That bumper sticker really worked! I found lots of people who love Jesus. Why, the guy behind me started to honk like crazy. He must REALLY love the Lord because pretty soon, he leaned out his window and yelled, "Jesus Christ!" as loud as he could. It was like a football game with him shouting, "GO JESUS CHRIST, GO!!!" Everyone else started honking, too, so I leaned out my window and waved and smiled to all of those loving people. There must have been a guy from Florida back there because I could hear him yelling something about a sunny beach, and saw him waving in a funny way with only his middle finger stuck up in the air. I asked my two kids what that meant. They kind of squirmed, looked at each other, giggled and told me that it was the Hawaiian good luck sign. So, I leaned out the window and gave him the good luck sign back. Several cars behind, a nice man stepped out of his car and yelled something like "Mother trucker," maybe he was from Florida, too. A couple of the people were so caught up in the joy of the moment that they got out of their cars and were walking toward me. I bet they wanted to pray, but just then I noticed that the light had changed to yellow, so I stepped on the gas and it’s good thing I did, because I was the only driver to get across the intersection. I looked back at them standing there. I leaned way out the window, gave them a big smile and held up the Hawaiian good luck sign as I drove away. Praise the Lord... P a g e 41

Spiritual Horoscopes Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22) – Happy birthday Leo! Everything’s going your way! Meditate with affirmations and creative visualization and see what more can happen. Later in August, things may seem blocked. Don’t get frustrated. Focus instead on expanding your consciousness and releasing any limitations, so you can receive even more! Also, update your desires since you’ll be at a new level of spiritual growth. Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22) – Meditate on your ideal relationship and perfect financial situation. What subconscious blocks keep you from having the best circumstances in these areas? Start a journal and write intuitions that arise during the day, or even in your dreams. Now, work on purifying your mind with “denials” – strong “NO” statements that clear out hidden limited thoughts. Next month, you can work on planting seeds of positive affirmations! Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22) – Examine your spending and finances. After meditation and contemplation, you’ll see you don’t need as much as you think. Also, when you feel spiritually full, you’re less likely to try to fill empty spaces inside by shopping. Focus on sharing your light with others. Be social and take walks with friends. Do fun activities that don’t involve money, just human connection. Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) – Mars and Saturn want you to focus your energies toward important goals. Meditate and get clear about your highest priorities. Make a plan of action and follow through on those inspired ideas. You have great support from the Universe now to improve health, fitness, relationships and emotional boundaries. Also meditate on self-forgiveness. Release harsh thoughts about yourself! Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) – You’re often cheery and silly, and don’t express anger outwardly. Examine your behavior to see who or what you’re avoiding –

or minimizing contact with. Meditate to cleanse your mind of these hidden resentments. This exercise opens your heart to a sense of spiritual bliss and intune-ment with life! You’ll be able to feel closer with others, and more committed to your soul’s path. Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) – August is a great time of financial abundance! You might have new investments that pay off, or receive gifts from people. Also explore spiritual sexuality. Even if single, meditate on the powerful life force in each cell that radiates a compelling sense of bliss. In this way, you can attract an amazing partner! Also spend time with friends who are as committed to their spiritual goals as you are. Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) – Relationships are flourishing! You can meet an amazing partner, or have a renaissance in your current connection. Career-wise, don’t avoid work due to romantic enthusiasm, since supervisors are extra critical now. On the other hand, don’t be your own critical boss by overworking if you’re anxious about the intensity of your emotions. Don’t hide from love, Aquarius. Ironically you’re a better individual as you blend with another! Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20) – Devote yourself to a spiritual practice. As a Pisces, you see God in all Paths, and are tempted to float dreamily from one to another. Avoid “spiritual indigestion”. Choose one guru or one style of yoga/ meditation. Dive deep into the water you choose, Little Fish, and be blessed by the abundance of joy you find! Health wise, treat yourself to the highest quality organic foods and take time for meals. Aries (March 21 – April 19) – You’re enthusiastic about things in the beginning, but lose interest quickly. This month, be careful about leaping into a new relationship and promising so much that you scare yourself. You could suddenly back away and hurt someone.

Resist the impulse to move too fast. Meditate as commitment anxiety surfaces (often masking boredom), and move forward anyway! Similarly, watch out for spending sprees since you’ll likely regret it later. Taurus (April 20 – May 20) – If you’re struggling with your partner, incorporate meditation time together.

Finding Happiness Once a group of 50 people was attending a seminar. Suddenly the speaker stopped and started giving each person a balloon. Each one was asked to write his/her name on it using a marker pen. Then all the balloons were collected and put in another room. Now these delegates were let in that room and asked to find the balloon which had their name written, within 5 minutes. Everyone was frantically searching for their name, pushing, colliding with each other, and there was utter chaos. At the end of 5 minutes, no one could find their own balloon. Now each one was asked to randomly collect a balloon and give it to the person whose name was written on it. Within minutes everyone had their own balloon. The speaker began: This is exactly happening in our lives. Everyone is frantically looking for happiness all around, not knowing where it is. Our happiness lies in the happiness of other people. Give them their happiness, you will get your own happiness. And this is the purpose of human life. Author Unknown

Seven Simple Ways to Stay Positive! “How do I remain positive amid negativity?” is a question I hear often, especially from empathic or highly sensitive people. I love this question because it is laden with learning opportunities. And, as an ‘empath’ myself, I can really relate. For years, I unknowingly soaked up negativity and allowed negative environments to bring me down. Fortunately, negative environments affect me significantly less today thanks to some simple, empowering techniques. Here are seven of my favorites: 1. Choose positivity! Each morning, make a commitment to yourself to stay positive regardless of what anyone else says or does. Make it into a game; see how quickly you can reframe any negative situation into a positive and keep a running tally throughout the day! This will bring playfulness to a low energy situation and help strengthen your positivity muscle even more! 2. Surround yourself with white light and mirrors. Before you start your day, take 15 seconds for a quick, yet effective visualization. Close your eyes and imagine drawing a line of glowing, impermeable white light around your body’s perimeter. Follow that up by imagining your body covered with mirrors, so that any negativity that comes your way is deflected back to its source. 3. Use it as an opportunity to shine your light even brighter! Just as stars shine brightest when it is darkest outside, maintaining a positive attitude or mindset in the face of negativity offers an incredible opportunity to make a huge impact. 4. Quit taking it personally. The majority of the time, another person’s complaining, blaming or negative actions are about them, not you. Instead of taking 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

it personally and reacting, practice detachment and non-judgment and drop it there. Remember that everyone is doing the best they can and the Universe is a good, positive place even if it doesn’t always appear that way. If you have a tough time with this concept, write the acronym ‘QTIP’ on several sticky notes and put them around your living space. This will keep the idea fresh in your subconscious mind, and make it more likely to remember the next time its needed. 5. Use crystals. Are you in a negative environment consistently at work or school? Carry a crystal-like black tourmaline; it has properties to ward off negative energies. 6. Look for the lesson. When faced with a negative situation or environment, step back and ask yourself if there is anything for you to learn. Does this circumstance offer you an opportunity to practice patience or tolerance, or maybe kindness or compassion? Often the things or people who bother us the most offer our biggest life lessons. 7. Leave the situation. There are times when no amount of positivity or visualizing will keep the negativity from taking hold. If this is the case, honor yourself and leave the situation. Sometimes a short walk or slipping away to take some deep breaths is all that’s needed. Other times, you may need a longer break. Just remember, this too shall pass. So there you have it! Seven of my best techniques for remaining positive amid negativity! Try one or all of them and watch them work for you! Jaime Pfeffer Jaime Pfeffer is a transformational coach, writer and teacher.

A Shout out for Enlightenment and World Peace

(I have not heard from him again very worried that he did not make it.)

No matter how you celebrate the energy of Life, we are all in this big world together. Trouble in the World This has been a very distressing few months for me and several of my loved ones. As you are all part of my spiritual family, I thought you should know about some personal distress that I am going through. One of my dear friends’ daughter just had a beautiful baby girl in June. She and her husband live in Tel Aviv Israel. Bombs are being dropped as close as only five miles from their home. They are safe but the area is not, and sadly it seems as though the negative energy has taken over! I know some of you have very strong political views from various perspectives on this subject and I respect your views; but this is not a political article, but one to plea for blessings and peace. Another of my friends lives in the Ukraine. It seems that coverage on this situation has been put onto the back pages of the news, but when it is personal it becomes all too real.

The following is an excerpt from an email sent to me from my friend, who was born in the Ukraine but has a Russian sir name: (No names will be shared for their protection) July 4th 2014 - emails from the “New Ukraine”. (I kept his written broken English, so you can experience the anxiety of his situation ) 9:22 am - I’m okay yet, here all things continue in same way, fighting. 9:35 am - More intensive, cities under artillery fire, hundreds civil and soldiers from both side died and injured, Russian army on border etc. region infrastructure are highly damaged. No way for peace agreements, new president just did ultimatum as peace step, without any negotiation with opposition.

10:17 pm - I was in Kiev, outside of my home so not online for rest of day, Wendy Powers, Clairvoyant Counselor and now think about go to Crimea to TV & Radio personality with Proven Accuracy my cousin, Is now Russian territory and I don’t like Russian interior politic, Wendy Powers, but is a lot better than New Ukrainian. I Clairvoyant, Counselor don’t have any other place to where I TV & Radio personality can be received, and inside of Ukraine I feel insecurity, I’m afraid to show my with Proven Accuracy Catch her Radio show on www.bodymindspiritradio.com passport with my Russian surname and “Live with Wendy Powers” place of born in rebel city. Mass media Join her show on BodyMindSpiritRadio.com Spiritual Topics & Live Readings! still make enemy from people like me First Saturday each month 10:00 am EST. :(, and aggressive nationalists can kill Make your private appointment at her web site: www.WendyPowers-Clairvoyant.com or contact her at: me without investigate that I not lived Call 248 826-8255 to make appt. Wendy.Powers@aol.com in rebel zone for forty years, can kill or www.WendyPowers-Clairvoyant.com arrest just for statistic. First and Third Saturdays monthly, 10:00 am EST.

We all know someone who has been robbed, killed, beaten or harmed, while living in a war zone or a troubled area. We need peace and wisdom; perpetuating positive energy has never been more needed than now. We must not live in the negativity, but join in our faith and bring love and peace to the earthly plane by using whatever means possible in our spiritual arsenal. The Earthly experience is forever in a spiritual warfare situation; we must help everyone to evolve to a higher understanding through thought and prayer. Honored that I was asked to bring the touring monks message of mission to my radio audience as well, all things are in God’s perfect time. I feel this is a sign that we must act now to bring a more positive energy to this world. As a collective of positive energy, we can help to lift all of us to a more evolved level of consciousness. Please support world peace by attending one of several stops on their tour here in Michigan: August, 9 & 10, Lansing Folk Festival; Saturday, August 16th 7-9:00PM at “Interfaith Church”, Ann Arbor, for an evening with “The Monks”. For more details on complete tour go to: www.info@tibetanmonktour.org The monks of Gaden Shartse Dokhang are renowned for their expertise in chanting. Not only are they expert at the more popular form of low toned chanting, they also specialize in a lesser known form of high-toned chanting. The concert will consist of additional instruments and some explanation of the chants, history, and traditions of Tibet. They will also perform a Wisdom Purification Prayer designed for the dissolution of all negative actions,

44 Body Mind Spirit Guide | August 2014

including actions that result in environmental destruction, wars, disputes, terrorism and nuclear destruction. It is a prayer for the end of all poverty, including the poverty of wisdom as well as economic poverty. It is a prayer for the inner strength of all beings to be restored and inner peace to be achieved. Healing Rituals will also be shared. Vajravidarana Healing Ritual is a Tantric ritual of purification and removing negativity; removing subtle negative imprints and offering protection. Vajravidarana purifies sickness, mental disturbances, infectious diseases, disputes, defilement, misfortunes, bad omens, victimization by others, premature death, negative influences of the stars, harm from rulers and thieves, influence of demons, the agents of death, obstacles, misguidance, and factors against congenial life. For information on the tour and how you can benefit from these blessings, contact laura@sacredstream.org or call 415-584-8853. You will also experience the Tibetan Singing Bowl Blessing and meditation. You will have an opportunity to purchase a singling bowl of your own so you can continue to amplify your meditations. Join me on my August 2, “First Saturday” radio show on BMSRadio, 10:00 EST, as I will have the Tibetan monks spokesperson as my guest, sharing insights of their “Compassion Tour 2014.” She will answer your questions and share with us their wisdom. I will be taking your calls for questions and mini readings.

Food Of The Month: Food Of The Month AMARANTH

Amaranth is one of the signature whole grains of the summer. It is very small and that makes it challenging to cook. I have found it is most flavorful if you cook it with other grains. It also has a tendency to be thick and gewey when cooked. This makes it ideal to add to oatmeal and make a breakfast porridge. Amaranth was the sacred food of the Aztecs. Wherever this whole grain is consumed there is little or no mal-nutrition. One plant will yield 50 thousand seeds. It is related to quinoa, the other signature grain of summer. But unlike quinoa that falls apart after it is cooked, which makes it great for salads, amaranth remains thick and creamy making it good for other things, such as porridges. Amaranth is in a group of plants known as photosynthetic superformers. This makes it above normal in efficiently converting soil, sunlight, and water into plant tissue, causing it to have extraordinary nutritional value. It is high in Vit. A, B6, K, C, folate and riboflavin, and is rich in minerals, iron, calcium, potassium, and manganese. Amaranth is very high in protein, fiber and amino acids.

Creamy Amaranth Breakfast Porridge 1/2 cup rolled oats 1/4 cup amaranth 1 1/4 cups water 1/4 cup amazake 1/2 tsp. cinnamon pinch sea salt pinch allspice pinch cloves 2 T. raisins 2 T. toasted walnuts

Remember, if you want to try amaranth, cook it with other grains. I have found quinoa and millet work best with a quarter ratio: one quarter as much amaranth as the other grain(s).

Put rolled oats, amaranth, water, amazake, cinnamon, sea salt, allspice and cloves in a small pot. Bring to a boil. Reduce to a simmer, cover and let cook for 30 minutes. Add the raisins and walnuts. Mix together and serve.

It can also be added to soups to thicken them. My favorite way to eat amaranth is in this porridge. I use amazake to sweeten it--it’s a whole grain sweetener made from brown rice and will not spike your blood sugar levels. You can find it in the freezer section of a local health food store.
