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)

Experience the Embrace! AMMA is in Detroit ! Ever wonder what true compassion looks like? What unconditional love feels like? Consider the possibility that the answer to these questions can be experienced in meeting Sri Mata Amritanandamayi (Amma). Internationally known as the “Hugging Saint”, Amma is a renowned humanitarian, spiritual leader and shining example of unconditional love. The embodiment of pure bliss, Amma, will be here in Detroit, solely for the purpose of expressing and sharing love and compassion. Embracing upwards of 34 million people throughout the world, Amma will be hugging Detroit the week of Thanksgiving, November 24 – 28 at the Detroit Marriott. A beaming light in expressing the power of selfless service, Amma’s humanitarian efforts are effective and empowering. From building homes and disaster relief to actions that save the environment, Amma demonstrates that true service to humanity is possible. Visit embracingtheworld.org to see some of the many programs in place. Several compassion driven activities inspired by Amma happen around the world, including here in Michigan. A few such projects include preparing and serving meals for those in need weekly in Ann Arbor and Detroit. For more info on these activities and more, please contact ammamich@gmail.com. Amma’s teachings are universal. When asked about her religion she replies that her religion is Love. She has never asked anyone to change their religion, only to contemplate the essential principles of their own faith and try to live those principles with all their heart. Several free public programs along with a modestly priced retreat are available throughout the week of her visit. For more info about Amma in Detroit, visit amma.org or 734-995-0029. November 2014

Are Your Thoughts Making you Ill?
are pills whose ingredients have no curative value, and are often made of sugar. The people taking these pills do not know that they are taking sugar pills, and believe that these pills will help heal them. Often, because of this belief, the people actually do get better. It is not the pill that is healing the individual, it is their beliefs about the pills, i.e. their thoughts.
It has been said that health is the greatest of human blessings. Mahatma Gandhi is quoted as saying, “It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver.” It is obvious that good health is essential to having a happy life. But if you look at the number of people taking prescriptions or over the counter medicines and going to doctors and hospitals, it is apparent that a huge number of people are not truly healthy. The question that comes to mind is why are so many people suffering from ill health? What is the cause of these ailments? There are obviously many opinions about this subject. However, consider this. How is it possible that some people have been able to cure themselves of severe illnesses, even cancer, by visualization or affirmations or even humor? Certainly your thinking is an extremely important factor in your health. We know that your thinking affects your mental health, but is it not likely that your thinking also affects your physical health? Consider the following example. Let’s imagine that when you were growing up your father constantly beat you for unknown reasons. You may have concluded that you were a bad person because this continued to happen. When you grew up, that belief was still present. Now, however, it is likely buried in the subconscious. Since you believe you are an unworthy person, it is very possible that you would not take good care of yourself. You would not eat healthful foods, would not exercise, and would generally not attend to your health. As a result you are likely to develop some kind of illness. Louise Hay, a best-selling author and healer has listed probable causes for various diseases. Some of the “probable causes” she lists for various ailments include fear, anger at self, guilt, feelings of inadequacy, denying your own power, lack of self-worth, self-hatred, refusal to change, lack of sweetness in life, deep hurts, etc. If she is correct, then many of our diseases do not occur mysteriously out of the blue; rather, they may be the result of the thoughts we are thinking. A famous holy person named, Yogananda wrote a book called, Scientific Healing Affirmations. The whole point of the book is that people can heal their diseases by changing what they think or what they tell themselves. So perhaps, when you are looking to medicine to cure your illnesses, your are looking in the wrong place.
If the above is true, and you wish to be healthy, then what you need to do is deal with the thoughts that are making you ill. The problem is, however, that many of the thoughts or beliefs that are making people ill are not conscious. They are in the subconscious part of your mind, and you are not even aware of them. So you can see the problem. If you are not aware of the thoughts that are making you ill, how can you possibly change them? One very effective way of changing these thoughts is through the use of hypnosis. Hypnosis is an excellent tool to help you get in touch with the unhealthy or irrational beliefs that are in the subconscious. Once you become aware of these thoughts or beliefs, you can then challenge or refute them, and replace them with much healthier thoughts and beliefs. Unless these unhealthy subconscious beliefs are dealt with, it is extremely difficult to change. Whenever the conscious mind and the subconscious mind are in disagreement, the subconscious mind always wins. For example, if you consciously wanted to lose weight but subconsciously you believed the extra weight had some positive value, it would be practically impossible to lose the weight and keep it off. You need to find out what the subconscious beliefs are if you sincerely want to change. Hypnosis is a very effective means to help you do this. Phil Rosenbaum Hypnosis is safe when done by a qualified and certified hypnotist. If you would like to find out more about hypnosis, please call Phil R. at 248-688-6469. Self-Esteem Academy

Karmic Attractions
self-destructive experience on someone who is precious to you --your own child for instance? Remember to care for yourself so that you can move beyond the cycle of addictive and self-defeating behavior and realize your greater potential for love, satisfaction and purposeful living. You are worth it!
Our vibrations are rising daily here on planet Earth, bringing us closer to our true self and the experience of wholeness and fulfillment that we seek. As this occurs, there are old negative behaviors that become easier to recognize, overcome and heal. One type of these is Karmic attractions or those things that we crave which are bad for us. Anything which draws us away from our truth, or where we desire to give our power away and get lost in the experience, not in a positive way but in the ‘where did I leave my true self behind?’ way is a karmic attraction. These could be a compulsive attraction to relationships which time and again hurt or disempower us; substances that we crave which alter us in unhealthy ways and leave us unbalanced instead of whole; or foods that we overindulge in. I define karma as lessons we have to learn rather than debts we have to pay. These kinds of attractions are ways in which we are unloving to ourselves and give away our power and potential. The lesson is to love ourselves enough to say, no. Once we have been caught in a karmic experience it becomes a cycle of selfabuse and abandonment which leaves us feeling less than our best. There is the initial sense of pleasure these situations bring, where in losing ourselves, we forget our problems and ‘feel no pain’. But when the circle of pleasure turns, the opposite side of that wheel is suffering. The suffering and often self-recrimination may cause us to crave the temporary bliss that led us to the suffering in the first place. Most of these experiences have a chemical aspect, whether hormonal or body chemistry, it alters our mood and our thinking process and develops a chemical dependency as well. As a part of the ascension process that I support for people and our planet, I have been guided to support the resolution of November 2014
karmic attractions. There has been a great deal of healing that has occurred recently making it easier for people to choose carefully and with self-love to have healthier relationships with people, mood altering substances and food. This is good news for all people who find their selves tending to be drawn into addictive type behaviors inspired by karmic attractions. The primary root of these behaviors is the foundational issue we all face as we ascend into our truth. When life shifted from being all one Being in the state of wholeness, often called God, we experienced fear, grief, anger and loss. We felt abandoned and unloved, and that primal trauma still compels us to act in ways that are unloving toward our own selves. As we ascend, we are brought back increasingly into relationship and unity with our own true facet of that One Source, God. We find that God is within us and always has been. The period of separation and individuating that we have gone through created illusions that must now be overcome; we are not separate from God, we are not unloved or unlovable. We are each a necessary and important part of the wholeness of life. Increasingly aware of that wholeness, we begin to feel a responsibility to our own truth; to own and care for ourselves like we would someone most precious. When you find yourself responding to a compulsion that you sense or know is self-destructive, or where you desire to lose yourself and give your power away to a person or a substance, remember who you are. Would you wish such a 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
Caring for yourself in this way, you will learn to love people and circumstances that care for you too. You will have to say, no to the karmic attractions numerous times, but this will make your self-commitment strong and reliable. Resist the impulse to bury your negative feelings. Instead, give yourself an inner hug, like the best hug you have ever had, and open your heart to God within you and from there welcome God’s love into the negative feelings. Imagine a stream of love flowing from your heart to the place within you that feels empty, and ask God to be there with you to fill that place with truth and heal the pain and loneliness you feel. If you don’t like the term God, substitute another term that connects you with that wholeness that is the spiritual foundation within all life. This connection with God within you is the truth of you. Everything else is an illusion which needs to be healed so you can ascend into unity with your true self. Every time you feel negative, it presents an opportunity to connect with your truth, to heal and grow. Responding with selflove and making the best choices you can in the moment leads you out of the cycle of karmic attraction. Being loving and trustworthy with yourself, you will come to feel at home in your life on every level of your being.

A mother came in with her two-year old son. He had been struggling with some developmental challenges in his legs. Walking seemed fine, but whenever he tried to run he looked uncoordinated. The assistant instructor 'Rolfed' the child for four or five minutes, then set him down. The boy took off running around the perimeter of the large classroom -- his old pattern now replaced with giggles and confidence. Finishing his trek, the boy made a beeline for the instructor and threw himself in her lap, thanking her for his newly found legs and athletic prowess. This was the scene at a children's clinic that was part of my training in Rolf Structural Integration. Whether we are the two-year old runner described above, or a long time marathon athlete, every step of a run sends 'ground impact' into our bodies. The alignment and posture that we bring to a run will greatly determine not only the toll this impact has, but also the efficiency and speed of our run. If you have one hip that is higher than the other, or the feet turn out or in, the immediate negative effects are easy to imagine. Overtime, the body will have to compensate or adjust. Muscle groups like the hamstrings may become extremely tight, and hamstring injuries can become chronic. The IT bands on the sides of the legs will morph, resembling more

bridge cable than human flesh. The body has a series of 'shock absorbers' that especially for runners need to be in good working order. Starting with the feet, if the arches are too high or flat, they cannot diffuse the the impact. This will contribute to the 'binding' of the lower leg bones, together leading to knee pain, pain killers and often surgery and most commonly, shin splints. If one or both of our feet turn out when we walk they will show the same distortion when we run. If you watch people from cultures where sitting on chairs is not so universal, you might notice a greater ease and grace to their running.. This is because an important core muscle, the psoas, that connects the lumbar spine with our legs, has not been geared out of participation by tightened and shortened muscles like the quadriceps. Fortunately, there is a solution. Structural Integration bodywork (aka Rolfing) has been used by athletes, from Sunday warriors to Olympic medalists. Linda Gill, former UCLA cross country and track athlete, tried Rolfing to recover from a nagging hamstring injury. After several sessions she noted, "Rolfing really helped my overall body mechanics. The tensions I carried in my shoulders is gone, my hamstrings feel great and my breathing became easier as my chest opened up." How does Structural Integration achieve such amazing results? By identifying where the connective tissue sheets that wrap around all our muscles have shortened. By applying hands-on pressure to the shortened wrappings, the body is brought back into optimal alignment. Not only are old injuries resolved and the likelihood of new ones reduced, but athletic performance is November 2014
significantly improved and recovery time decreased. These dramatic changes are achieved through a comprehensive ten session series. According to Mike Fanelli, running coach from Marin, CA, "Rolfing has taken 10 years off my legs. Before Rolfing, I had to take four or five days off after a hard run. Now, I’m back up to running 50 mile weeks." Faster than a pair of the best running shoes. More powerful than the most potent muscle building protein powder-It's Structural Integration bodywork!

The Spiritual Energy Crisis – Part 1 “The real energy crisis which exists upon our world is the spiritual energy crisis, and if this was solved, all other crisis would cease to exist.” This definitive statement was made by Dr. George King, Western Master of Yoga and Founder/President of The Aetherius Society, after many years of studying the problems that face mankind. Many scientists would deny this, believing that the real problems on this earth are, for example, the dangers of atomic experimentation and nuclear waste, lack of resources, pollution and natural disasters. However, the difference between the orthodox scientist and the meta-scientist is that the former studies and treats the effects, while the latter deals with the more important underlying causes. The physical energy crisis is the effect of the spiritual energy crisis and, unless the latter is solved, the former will always remain. This is due to the all-pervasive Law of Karma which governs the physical, mental and spiritual state of mankind upon “Helping Back on the to isGood Earth. AccordingYou to the Law of Karma, actionRoad and reaction oppositeHealth” and equal or, as The Master Jesus taught, “As ye sow, so shall ye reap.” Dr. Amy L. Dean, D.O.

12 Body Mind Spirit Guide | November 2014
Miracles on Earth are not done by God for man, but by man for God…. Dr. George King Spiritual energy is not an emotion or a power reserved for men of the cloth. It is an active, living thing which, according to Dr King… “is just as much energy as electricity. The difference is simply that it operates on a different frequency and does a different job and thus has to be manipulated in a different way.” Dr. King is also an expert in the science of radionics, which is the science of the manipulation of subtle energies. As a Master of Yoga, he was certainly well-equipped to find effective solutions to the spirituals energy crisis—and this he did. However, just as rice needs to be eaten in order to appease starvation, so do the solutions he has given to the spiritual energy crisis need to be utilized by mankind before they will take effect. Being a realist, he stressed that this will not happen overnight. “The energy crisis could be solved by an adept in seven days, but the change required by mankind would not be made by mankind.” In other words, an adept, or highly advanced intelligence, with a deep knowledge of metaphysics, the law of Karma, and having certain advanced skills and abilities along with a high degree of enlightenment, could solve the spiritual—and thus the physical—energy crisis in just a few days. However even though practical and workable solutions to the problems could be given by the adept, it would still necessitate a great change being made by mankind itself in order for these solutions to manifest. Chrissie Blaze is an author of eleven books, international lecturer and Spiritual teacher. She and her husband, Gary, will be teaching two Classes on Mantra Yoga on Friday, November 7 and 14. (Please see ad for details). It is through the chanting of mantra, as well as other spiritual practices and the service we give, that we can help solve this main crisis facing humanity at this time – the Spiritual Energy Crisis.

Restoring the Power to Heal! Healing is essential for continued survival on this planet. Our bodies inevitably become damaged in the process of living. Damage results from things as small as paper cuts to things as large as car accidents and major diseases. We heal quickly when we’re young because the energy-producing mitochondria within our cells are usually healthy. As we age, the silly things we’ve done to our bodies along with toxins like fluoride and radiation can to destroy our mitochondria. As a result, healing processes within the body start to slow down. Improving mitochondrial health is one of the best ways to restore the body’s power to heal. By restoring the body’s own power to heal, we can more easily return to a higher degree of health and experience greater joy in our lives. Let’s look at a few facts about our amazing bodies that never cease to amaze me: The brain puts out over 3 trillion signals a second to run the body. Our nerves would wrap around the earth at least once if they were taken out of the body and laid end to end. The vessels that carry blood and lymph would wrap around the earth approximately two and a half times if they were taken out of the body. These vessels are extremely important because blood carries both positively and negatively charged ions which move quickly around the body; and the speed and movement of these charges create electrical fields. While people have been aware of these energy fields for years, modern physics has finally provided ways to measure them. Also referred to as chakras, these energy fields influence health more than one might imagine. You are invited to attend an Exercise Workshop in my office to learn exercises that help energy fields flow in the proper direction! Our bodies are electrochemical mechanisms with amazing

powers of regeneration when aligned with the proper resources. One of these resources is right below our feet and free to everyone on the planet. However, this resource is not “free of charge.” (Those are familiar with my sense of humor probably already know where I’m headed since this charge has nothing to do with how much one might pay.) I’m referring to the gravitational field under our feet that carries a “charge” which keeps our energy up and flowing. This charge is what makes up the Earth’s gravitational field. It is so important that when astronauts were sent into space without this gravitational field, they lost bone and muscle mass quickly. To help alleviate these deficits, one of the things done by NASA was utilizing one of Nikola Tesla’s inventions known as PEMF – acronym for Pulsed Electro Magnetic Field. When NASA downsized, the patent for this instrument was sold to an Austrian company and is now produced as the MAS unit which I recently purchased for my office because I was so impressed with what it could do for the health of my patients. PEMF can help because the body is electrochemical in nature. Every cell in the body carries an electrical charge on its surface of approximately 70 to 90 millivolts. This surface voltage allows the cells to function normally allowing materials in and out of the cell. If the voltage on the cell begins to drop, the functionality of the cell diminishes. Research has shown that when the body becomes ill, the voltage on the cells drops. As an example, the voltage on a cancer cell runs at approximately 20 millivolts. This is important because cancer cells do not operate under the collective influence of the body like other cells do. It is likely that due to the lower voltage they are not able to communicate with the general community of cells and therefore do not operate as part of the group. There is a large body of research showing the effectiveness of Pulsed Electro Magnetic Field therapy. PubMed articles site various benefits ranging from helping bones heal to healing all sorts of other bodily damage whether from accidents or surgeries. There is also documentation about pain levels being reduced so that medication can be reduced thus lessening side effects from the medication and reducing costs. Even the effects of stress, both physical and mental, have been shown to be reduced. When the electrical voltages on red blood cells return to normal, the cells do not clump together so they can move at high speeds throughout the blood vessels thus reducing inflammation, improve oxygen flow, and move energy more quickly to areas of the body that are damaged. This enables the cells to repair more quickly and replaces glycogen in the muscles so they can recover from heavy work faster. As you can imagine, this not only helps individuals with damage to their body but also helps athletes perform better and faster. I believe that therapies that approach the body as a whole

&
rather than addressing it as individual parts are most effective at helping the body restore its own power to heal. This is why I believe the PEMF can be highly beneficial in helping to restore the body’s health. There are several versions of PEMF. The two main types of units include one that utilizes high magnetic fields delivered through heavy copper coils of wire where the frequency is constant but the voltage can be varied. This is the type of unit I was trained on when I first received my Wellness Doctor Certification about 15 years ago. The second main type is the MAS unit that has a control panel that allows the operator to change frequency, voltage, and time of the therapy as well as the waveforms. This is the type of unit we have at the office.

The Silver Thread Indecision
as
a
Spiritual Crisis A friend told me of woman trying to pick a paint color for her bedroom. Two shades of green were appealing. But which one? The home owner spent a month tortured by the decision. She went to the paint store a dozen times, asked her friend's opinions, and changed her mind as regularly as a heart beat. Finally she picked one. She liked it, but continued to wonder if the other shade was really better. She had problems sleeping and was worried for weeks if she had made the right decision. A psychologist might diagnose obsessive compulsive disorder; a psychiatrist would write her a script for Prozac. But these conflicts are also spiritual crises, a lack of trust in the essential goodness of the world. It replaces faith with worry Our Biblical tradition sees this conflict as a battle between the evil instinct (yetzer ha’ra) and the good (yetzer ha’tov). In spite of the stress such conflicts engender, they offer an opportunity to establish deeper clarity in our life. The agony this woman went through reflects an underlying fear that wrong decisions will destroy our world, and the myth that a right decision would bring peace. A spiritual teacher of mine, Tara Birch, said that a wrong decision threatens to make us feel worthless. Obsessions are disastrous interpretations of normal day to day decisions. Our self becomes so wedded to being right that wrongness destroys the edifice of self we took years to construct. We are frail. It also reflects a lack of faith, trust in the world, an underlying conviction that the world will let us down, that life ultimately betrays us. We become so invested in an outcome, that there is always a concomitant fear of a wrong result leading to personal disintegration. The fact is, there is no certainty in the world. At best, despite our most careful efforts, life can be no more than an educated guess. If fact, it is rare for things to turn out as we planned. A Daoist proverb says, “ The archer can control the way he releases the arrow, but cannot control where it lands.” The good news is that it rarely matters.

While we cannot control the outcome, we can choose to use the pain of our struggle towards more self-understanding. The more conflicted we are, the deeper we can go through

the layers of our psyche. Spiritually we can use our doubts to open us up, to dig deeply and to recreate our self. The obsessive self is racked with fear, closed and rigid to the world. Doubt and fear touch our heart. If they stay there, they sink us like a rock. But they also provide a springboard to create a new self; one that is flexible, open and treats our mistakes as joy in our own imperfections. It has the potential to awaken us to what really matters; love, connection and faith. In fact we need to die to be reborn. The false self, built on an edifice of false perfection, has to go before the real “I� appears. The real self is not imbued with perfection but with an open heart alive with wonder, not fearful of life and its contradictions and imperfections, but using conflict as a teacher.

Is it time for you to “Break a Pact”?
The philosophy of Charles Schultz, the creator of the “Peanuts” comic strip. You don’t have to actually answer
Re-reading Paul Coehlo’s, “The Valkyries,” his journey profoundly resonated with me. I am a firm believer in the Universe providing us with what we need when we need it. When I read the first lesson Paul had to discover about himself, I shuddered at its perfect timing for my life: “Break a Pact.”

the questions. Just read straight through, and you’ll get the point.
A pact is a commitment you make with yourself or someone else, agreeing to a plan or an action for a period of time. It sounds counter-intuitive to read that breaking a pact is necessary for positive growth instead of making one. Coehlo had to break the unconscious negative thought pattern he believed about himself that blocked his personal freedom and joy. A negative thought pattern or pact is as simple as “I’m not good enough;” or “I’m not good with money.” If we begin to reflect on these thoughts, we find that there are ways we are good enough or good with money. There is no longer any proof for this belief. What pacts have you made with yourself that keep you from your highest good? Break the pact and set yourself free! Maria Menozzi

ROCK OF THE MONTH: The Master Healer: The Vogel Last month we discussed the properties of Quartz. Amazingly, if cut in a certain manner, the healing properties of Quartz can be powerfully amplified. How? An research scientist from IBM who studied luminescence, was fascinated with Quartz. He discovered that if natural Quartz are properly cut with preciskion, intention and care, they attract, amplify, and transmit Universal Life Force Energy. He discovered that the cyrstal must be double terminated, containing a receptive (female) end and a transmitter (male) end. The male aspect is a sharper angle than the female aspect.

6 sided crystals create a Merkaba. They are useful to astral travel. They are used for healing the emotional body
The crystal has to have four or more facets around each side and cut with precision completely aligned with the C axis of the Quartz. There are precise specifications about the internal angle of the cuts, but interestingly enough,the receptive end is cut at the same angle as the angle of the sides of the Great Pyramid at Giza. Simply put, the female end attracts, absorbs and amplifies Universal Life Force and sends it in a circular fashion through the crystal and out the other end, focused like a laser beam. One can also use it to channel your thoughts. The crystal can be used in healing yourself or another. It is a powerful tool for use in meditation to strengthen our connection to the Spirit Beings, as well as keep our laser sharp focus on our goals, dreams, and projects so we can more readily manifest our desired outcomes. Vogels are considered Master Healers. They can be used to heal any condition. It is known to stimulate and strengthen the immune system, soothe burns, balance and harmonize the charkas, treat spinal misalignments, circulatory and vascular disorders, balance polarities, align the subtle bodies, strokes, and multidimensional healing and more! There is very little written about the use of Vogels. However, Vogel suggests that crystals of 13 sides are more than adequate for most uses. The following is a general guideline: 4 sided crystals are for healing 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
8 sided crystals are used to expand awareness, moving beyond the mind into a nonlinear reality. It is useful for healing severe emotional trauma and deep shock. 12 sided crystals are useful in manifestation. They open our thought to higher levels of awareness. 13 sided crystals are used in meditation to connect with past lives, and connect to the Divine. 16 sided crystals have the capacity to help persevere and endure. It promotes strength, determination, and healing. It promotes healing on all levels. It is the path finder, that will lead you to your destiny. 21 sided crystals are used to resolve family issues 24/8 sided crystals are used for spiritual rebirth 24/12 sided crystals are used for transformation Once you select your Vogel, it must be cleaned and programmed before you ask it to work for you. This crystal will serve you in so many ways if used properly, always coming from a foundation of Love.

Fast Weight-Loss Made So Easy… I lost 100 lbs. the first year after gastric bypass surgery, but then I didn’t lose anything for a year later. I heard about Dr Reggish and his nutritional evaluation for $45. I decided to try his weight loss program. Doc told me what foods I could eat and the foods to avoid. My first week I lost an amazing 17 lbs and my second week was 15 lbs. My third week I lost 11 lbs for a total loss of 43 lbs. It was easy and he didn’t restrict my calories. I could eat as much food as I wanted. Thanks Dr. Reggish, Anette B., Saginaw, Mi. I’m not good with diets and I cheated my first week and I still lost 8 lbs. My second week I was good and lost 12 more pounds. Its been 4 weeks now and I’ve lost a total of 36 lbs. I’m amazed how easy this program was. Dr. Reggish, you’re the best. Chelse C., Allen Park I came to see Dr. Reggish for weight loss for myself and my daughter. After one week I lost 7 lbs, (I cheated) and my daughter lost 18 lbs.(She didn’t cheat) Our 2nd week, I was better and lost 11 more lbs. My daughter lost 15 lbs. Not only did we lose weight, but our energy really inproved and our skin looks great. Also I am no longer constipated. We love our Dr Reggish Troy B. and Mom., Madison Hgts., Mi. I read about Dr Reggish and his holistic approach to getting people well. I was overweight, always tired and was told that I had fibromyalgia. I wasn’t sleeping because of terrible hot flashes and night sweats. My first week I lost 11 lbs and was shocked because Doc didn’t put me on a diet. The 2nd week I lost another 9 lbs. and was no longer having hot flashes or night sweats. My energy also drastically improved. It’s now been 4 wks and the pain in my body is completely gone and I feel 10 years younger. I’ve lost a total of 31 lbs. I absolutely love Dr Reggish. He’s unbelievable. Thanks Doc. Mary Lu, Flint, Mi. I heard about Dr Reggish and made an appt. He only charges $45 for his nutritional evaluation. I suffered 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 10 lbs. And in my 2nd week, I lost 12 lbs, and in my third week I lost another 8
lbs. I feel amazing. I now have lots of energy, no sugar cravings and the brain fog is gone. I’m no longer depressed or constipated. Dr Reggish is a blessing. Barb N., Toledo, Ohio
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.

Then, I discovered whole grain sweeteners. Brown Rice Syrup, which is now my favorite, I thought was a gift from Heaven. And Amazake, which is also made with Brown Rice, is the ray of sunshine that shines down from Heaven. Both are featured in my holiday recipe, Walnut Pie. Amazake was invented by monks who wanted a sweet drink before going to bed -- one that wouldn’t keep them up all night from a sugar high. Amazake literally means Sweet Sake. It’s made from brown rice that is fermented with koji. It’s what is produced in the first fermentation process of making Sake. It has a thick, creamy consistency, and is nutrient dense with vitamins and minerals. The sugar that is in Amazake and brown rice syrup, is maltose. Maltose is the least reactive sugar there is in the food chain. White sugar is sucrose; it will spike your blood sugar levels. Fruit and fruit juices are fructose, and will spike your blood sugar as well. Only maltose will not spike your blood sugar.
pinch sea salt pinch allspice 1 cup walnuts Put all ingredients in a sauce pan. Bring to a boil on stove. Turn heat to medium and simmer for 10 minutes. Creamy Middle: 3/4 cup Amazake 1/2 cup brown rice syrup pinch sea salt 2 cups walnuts 3 T. arrowroot Put all ingredients into a food processor. Puree until smooth. Pour into pie crust. Slowly, pour caramelized toping over the top. Bake at 350 degrees for one hour. Let cool completely before cutting.

You can find Amazake in health food stores in the freezer. It comes in different flavors. The original one is the most versatile to use in recipes. The almond flavor is the most commonly used and works good in pie recipes. November 2014

Fat Burning Foods and High Protein Diets The biochemical background of obesity begins with a chain reaction that converts nutrients to different forms that nature utilizes for energizing and molding the structure of the body. What you eat and what you have eaten in the past helps determine your body’s shape. As an example, proteins go through a chain reaction, by the process of digestion, which converts them to amino acids. This makes them small and simple enough for their absorption and conversion into tissue proteins in the body. It occurs normally only if the complete amino acid pattern is present. All cooked proteins are incomplete proteins. They must be combined with uncooked, fresh, salads or vegetables to make the protein complete. The obese person who is on a high protein diet should take note of this fact and realize that unless there is a complete protein, the calorie excess may be just as severe as if he were consuming an equivalent amount of incomplete carbohydrates. In fact, the end product of the metabolism of incomplete protein causes a kidney overload due to the preponderance of metabolic wastes on such a diet. A variety of protein foods composed of either animal or vegetable sources in your diet is your best assurance of completing the protein pattern. Good sources of protein are sprouts, raw nuts, seeds and avocados. Here is a partial quote from founder of Standard Process food supplements, Dr. Royal Lee. “If obesity were attacked from the basis of raw foods, not only would the problem be obliterated, but the condition of our nation would improve to the point where we, instead of being the sickest nation on earth,
would be the healthiest.” The most successful diets, regardless of whether the person wants to lose weight or gain muscle, is to eat the same kind of foods over and over again. Basically we’re looking at the “Paleo” type diet. Proteins can easily be derived from whole eggs, chicken breast or thigh (preferably grass fed), wild fish, quinoa, wild rice, and lentils. Always include fresh, raw vegetables with these proteins. Vegetables include all vegetables including broccoli, cauliflower or any other cruciferous vegetables; sauerkraut and kimchi, asparagus, peas, and green beans. Use a small amount of fruit. Avocados are the best for weight loss since they are high in lipase which tends to eat up fat - also coconut oil, virgin and cold pressed. Palladium wisdom: Most diseases are not produced by deficiencies, but by excesses.

24 Body Mind Spirit Guide | November 2014
Kindness and Caring – What Are You Receiving? Are you truly willing to receive kindness and caring into your living? What would it take to have more? How many times have people been kind to you and you judge it as a suspicious action? Most of the time people do not do kindness on this planet unless they want to create obligation. At some level you know or are able to perceive the real intent behind someone’s actions toward you. And you know when there is obligation attached. Do you remember what it feels like to receive true kindness? Would you like more of that in your life? What would it take? What about caring? You know what it feels like to truly care for someone. Sometimes your caring can make you sad as you see someone in your life that is stuck in their trauma and drama and can’t seem to get out. You want so badly to reach out and get them to see things differently. It’s just that at this point, they aren’t willing or able to receive you or your caring. What if it was just a choice? What would you choose today? Would you choose to receive caring and kindness into your life? We’re not taught to receive here on planet Earth. People will judge you as selfish and say, “All you do is think of yourself?” What if all of that is just an interesting point of view? What if you could choose to receive the kindness and caring as well as the judgment? Yes, I said, “receive judgment”. You see, when someone judges you, it is usually something that they do. If you receive their judgment, and I’m not saying 'own' it, let it come at you, allow it. No need to resist and react. No need to align and agree with it. Just let it go right through. No effect whatsoever. Do you know why? It’s just a lie. A lie that has been perpetuated on this planet for who knows how long? You don’t have to buy it as yours.

What if there were a way to shift and change that in your life and the lives of those around you? What if you could be the kindness and caring that you wish to see in the world? What are the infinite possibilities? My wife Gail and I, practice a technique called, Access Bars®, where we work with 32 points on the head to change what is going on in your life. It is really about shifting you, the being, into letting go of all of the stuff floating around in your mind that keeps you stuck and opens up your ability to receive. In doing a Bars session, there are about 15 hand positions. One of those positions, Kindness, Gratitude and Peace & Calm consists of 3 points. The Kindness Bar really shifts you into losing the charge and all of the points of view that you have around Kindness -- what it means to be kind and what it means to receive kindness. Isn’t it time for you to start receiving more of you? David Miller 248-770-9154 David is presently a Certified Access Consciousness Bars™ Facilitator and Certified Body Process facilitator.

Can a Psychic Also be a Medium?
Psychics read your life path, but do not necessarily connect with spirit.
Psychics tune into the energy of a person, object or even a picture by feeling or sensing the life aura energy from their past, present and future. They go into a deeper state of the mind (usually through meditation) allowing their psyche to tune into the person’s life path, by asking higher guidance to reveal the past, present and future of the person being read. Psychics can use many tools to read the life path, such as clairvoyance, Tarot, astrology, Rune Stones, psychometry, palmistry, reading tea leafs, and so on. Mediums channel souls who have passed on to the other side. This does not mean that the medium is connecting into the life path of the person who is receiving the messages from spirit. They are simply an open door for spirit to come through and communicate with the psychical world. Mediums do not look into the past, present and future of your life, but they can certainly help people through messages that are brought forth from spirit to move forward with their lives. This means mediums rely on the presence of non-physical energy outside of themselves for the information relevant to the person being read. Mediums don’t usually use metaphysical tools to communicate with spirit, however some mediums write down things they sense about the spirit. Mediums can also engage all of their higher senses to hear, see, sense and even smell spirit’s presence. However, even mediums cannot call on a spirit to communicate if the spirit does not desire it. Sometimes, people desperately want to communicate with a loved one who has passed, but the medium cannot call on the spirit unless the spirit is available and willing to communicate.
Psychics/mediums can access both the energy of your life path and the spirit world. This is a more rare gift that only the most evolved intuitive will possess. I have found that in my career as a psychic that spirits would come into a life reading at times, but for the past several years now it happens very frequently in a life reading. The picture to the right shows while I was doing life readings in front of a live audience, a spirit showed up -- you can see his profile in the door above my shoulder. I was doing a life reading on a lady in the audience when suddenly I felt the spirit of her son. He died without being able to say good-bye so he made his presence known and gave her his message of love which helped them both with closure. I never know what will happen in a reading as each person has a unique life path. Sometimes spirit will only show up in the beginning of the reading to share concerns or just to relay a comforting message. Being a psychic/medium does not guarantee that a spirit will come into the life reading, but if the person seeking the reading has a loved one needing to share messages this will be possible through the higher development of the psychic/medium. Working through the karma in this psychical plane can be difficult without the help of our loved ones reaching through the spiritual dimensions. Infinite Love & Peace, Psychic/Medium, Wendy Powers Tune in to my November 1st radio show on: www. BodyMindSpiritRadio.com On the first Saturday of each month I do a show covering spiritual topics and mini psychic readings. Call early so you can get into the queue for your mini reading!

Visit: www.WendyPowersClairvoyant.com or call 248-982-4956.
Sometimes the soul who has passed is in shock and cannot figure out how to communicate until someone on the other side helps them through the process. This is why so many people that have had near death experiences will report that they saw a loved one meet them, to help them in the transition to spirit or send them back to continue with their physical life. Sometimes spirits go immediately to the higher realm, getting ready either to become a spirit guide or preparing for another lifetime, and cannot be accessed during this process. 28 Body Mind Spirit Guide | November 2014

9 TIPS TO INCREASE YOUR SELF ESTEEM When was the last time you looked in the mirror and said, "I love you"? When was the last time you acknowledged your strengths or patted yourself on the back? If your self-love meter is running a little low, here are 9 ways to fill it up fast! I hope you find something new that works for you. 1. Give yourself at least one compliment every day. We know from research that expressing kindness benefits the giver and the receiver; in the case of giving yourself compliments, you are the giver and the receiver so the impact goes even further. This is an excellent activity for women who may deflect compliments more than men and are less likely to focus on their strengths than men. Examples of strengths include: "I am generous" or "I am a fabulous ice skater" or "I am a fantastic listener". 2. Write yourself a love letter. Are you the person who always remembers everyone's birthday or anniversary, or gives people cards simply because they are awesome? It's time to douse yourself with the same treatment! Write yourself a letter or grab your favorite greeting card and express to yourself how wonderful you are! You might feel silly doing this at first and that's okay. The relationship you have with yourself is directly related to the relationship you have with everyone else in your life. When you pamper and indulge yourself, others will do this for you too. 3. Shower yourself with loving visual cues. Write, "I love you, (name)!" on sticky notes and put them on your mirror, bedside table, computer screen, in your car and as your phone screensaver. You'll appreciate the nice, November 2014
loving surprise for days to come. 4. Commit to five minutes of daily journaling every day. Journaling is scientifically proven to decrease stress and increase clarity and creativity. To start, observe your thoughts without judgment and just write. It's amazing what an effect five minutes has in shrinking worries and fears down to size! 5. Make "happiness appointments" with yourself and always follow through. How? Create a joy list, containing 5-15 items that bring you joy. These can be anything from smelling flowers to taking a walk to spending time with a person you love. Pick one item from your joy list every day and make an "appointment with joy". Schedule it in your phone and set a reminder. Then, follow through! Within a week, the increased happiness in your life will be evident. 6. Unplug. Commit to unplug from electronic devices once a day and just be. Check in with your breathing and your body. This is a wonderful, quick stress-relieving technique. 7. Make a list of your top 10 strengths. This is an assignment I give my students and they rave about how good it feels. Set aside ten minutes today and write down your positive qualities. Then, read it aloud to yourself. 8. Meditate. According to a 2008 study, only 8% of the population meditates. However, more companies are jumping on the bandwagon, and rightfully so. The benefits of meditation include decreased stress, decreased blood 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
pressure levels, increased clarity and increased creativity. These are all factors that make employees more productive, effective and efficient. Meditation is easy, free (download a free guided here: http://bit.ly/visualize_ meditation) and anyone can do it. If your office doesn't have a meditation break like Harpo and Google, create your own! It can be a simple sneakaway for 5-10 minutes at lunch with your earbuds. Midday meditation is like a reset for your day. 9. Turn off the critical voice. We all know what it feels like to have a loved one criticize or demean us, yet many of us do this to ourselves daily. Becoming aware of what this voice says to you and making a conscious decision to notice it and choose different thoughts, is one of the most loving things a woman can do for herself and her self-esteem. In his book, "Feeling Good: The New Mood Therapy", David Burns MD says, "You don't have to do anything especially worthy to create or deserve self-esteem; all you have to do is turn off that critical, haranguing inner voice, because that critical inner voice is wrong! Your internal selfabuse springs from illogical, distorted thinking." Jaime Pfeffer is an international happiness coach and teacher, writer and radio host. Her debut book, "Uplift: Amazingly Powerful Secrets to Conquer Stress and Boost Happiness", comes out in Spring 2015. Find her at jaimepfeffer.com. JOIN JAIME ON BODY MIND SPIRIT RADIO

36 Body Mind Spirit Guide | November 2014
Focus on the Positive:
Self. Compassion is not reserved for others -- you are also deserving of compassion...and love. If you happen to remember later in the day, you can just be grateful then.
Abundance and Love Why do we think mostly about what we've lost, rather than what we have? When we are in an attitude of lack, the focus is on lack, and attracts lack. What if we were to focus on being grateful for what we already have? For our abundance? Having a positive focus attracts more of that. Becoming mindful of your thoughts and feelings can be your guide to transforming your negative attitudes and thoughts into ones that are positive. I would recommend as a first step, keeping a journal. Some of my clients have found it helpful to even carry it with them to document their negative thoughts to be worked through or reframed later. The act of writing down your thoughts creates a mindfulness of the pattern of those thoughts and you can then make changes and re-program your bio-computer, mind, to a program for the life you want. An additional way of attracting more positive experiences and abundance into your life is to be grateful. Waking up each day, before you leave the bed, while still nice and cosy, you can allow yourself to be mindful of three things to be grateful for. These things can be anything that is positive, just be mindful and attentive, really think it through. Do your best to make them different every day. There can be a theme. I tend to choose my three, then add my family members. If you're stuck, you can do what a friend of mine did --she chose to be thankful for apples, the car she drove to the store to pick up the apples, the store for having the apples, the ... you get the drift. You can chose to be mindfully grateful for anything! Begin your day with thoughts of abundance and gratitude -- your vibration will match with that and your whole day will be affected. Just like in recovery programs, make this routine part of your life day by day. If you happen to forget to be grateful, allow yourself to be compassionate with your
Miche Lame’ offering: Hypnotherapy Intuitive Counseling Self Acceptance Healing
Put your energy and focus on abundance, love and gratitude. Experience your world being filled with an abundance of great opportunities, growth towards your goals and love. Most people do not know the power they have over their lives, just by the energy of their thoughts. Spend your time being mindful of, and guided by the energy and thoughts of acceptance, abundance, gratitude and love. Let go of comparison, judgments and negativity in general. Stop looking for and focusing on the negative. Focus on the positive. And, as your vibration changes towards a higher, positive energy, you will attract others with similar vibrations. Your vibrations match and attract others and experiences with the same. So, pushing or resisting what you are drawing to you is futile. Just have a holy moment and be grateful for all experiences as learning lessons, another guide to greater inner growth. It's easy to be grateful for the positive, yet the negative shows you where you can grow. So, when you perceive an experience as negative, take the time to breathe center. Look within for where you attracted the perceived negative, and you can chose to release it or change your perception of it. Either way, be grateful for the holy lesson and opportunity and live a blessed life. May you attract an abundance of love and the fulfillment of your desires to you.

Your Presence Heals You are in constant energetic relationship to everything and everyone around you. You are feeling other people’s feelings and thoughts whether you know it consciously or not. This interaction cannot be severed; only denied or forgotten. You are part of a broader system in which you cannot cut yourself ut of...or run away from. If you can consciously feel a reaction to someone when you are around them, this is a great opportunity for you, and them. Grounded within your own body and being, fully claiming your space and emphatically aware, you profoundly affect the body, space, and energy of others on a scientifically-validated molecular level. Presence heals. Your awareness of something has the power to heal what you are viewing. Full presence requires you to be vulnerable and empathic. Standing in the darkness together, you “as healer” are holding the high vision. The ability to witness suffering with presence and empathy starts with your ability to be present and vulnerable within yourself. Self presence and vulnerability, is self love. Your powerful, present, and vulnerable self sets others free. I have spent the past twenty five years being trained in seven unique energy healing forms, have a deep commitment to personal healing, and 15 years of professional healing work. If all of what I have learned could be summed up with what I view is the most important thing for us to hear, feel, know, and sense as human beings and healers at this time, it is this: presence heals. Many times in session I will simply be present in my body, and clients will say, “I felt you send me a huge wave of energy.” or “You do powerful Reiki.” Why does so much healing come to them when someone is able to be fully present with them in their suffering? When I am mentoring a group in “how” to heal, I have them do two processes. In the first process they send energy through their intention to the person in front of them. This person reports back what they feel. This “sending” can be called good wishes, prayer, Reiki, energetic healing etc. Then, on the second process, I have the person be present in their body, be in the moment, consciously breathe, feel any pain, and fully fill up the space around them. After demonstrating this process for many years, the person who is “receiving” always reports feeling a deeper, more profound energy being “sent” to them on the non-sending round. WHY is “doing nothing” so powerful?
If we are in any discomfort, it is because we are either pushing away or holding on to pain (limiting thought and/or feeling). Pushing away can be: a. “I deny or don’t even know this thought or feeling exists” b. “I don’t want to feel this or think this!” c. Shame “I am bad or unworthy for feeling or thinking this way.” Holding on can show up as: a. “I need to figure this out.” b. “I need to be right!” c. “This is what my religion and/or authority figure told me was true; so I can’t let this painful thought go.” In owning all your feelings and sensations, you have the power to change your life, others, and effect the world. How you view something effects what you view. However, the more connected (empathic) you are to a person, animal or cause, the more healing effect you have on it. Stand present with suffering, let it move through you and hold hope in your gaze. Your presence, empathy and high vision, can and does, POWERFULLY effect what you view. Now, as you gaze into the world and keep this empathic presence, you give the ones who suffer an opportunity or energetic doorway to healing. If your words or actions are coming from a place of disconnect, or needing to fix, you can actually glue a person’s pain deeper. By consciously emphatically feeling what you are viewing, and remaining present, you stop the energetic ping pong match of pain. Your “not doing” dynamically gives them a way to let go. Self acceptance and your own meditation are crucial to igniting your presence to effect others. This is also why your inner work, or self love, is not selfish. When you feel your emotional pain with stillness and gentleness, you are laying the groundwork for your friends, family and loved ones to be set free. Steps to be present: 1. Accept when you are triggered. Know that no one can “make you” feel anyway certain way. It was in you already. By owning what is within you, with radical self-compassion, you take back your power. As you feel this trigger or pain with compassion you open up more presence within your being. 2. Be aware of other’s pain or struggles without distancing yourself in the mind. This distancing is often done by mentally labeling them or telling them how to fix themselves. 3. Breathe into your body, be in the moment. Lift your sternum and notice if you can feel yourself “all there.” Remember, this is a life long process, opening is infinite and your ability to be
38 Body Mind Spirit Guide | November 2014
present will continue to grow stronger. Being present to another without needing to push away, fix, heal, or deny, you powerfully effect what you are viewing. Being present to the world’s crisis powerfully shifts what you are viewing. Through your awareness and being present you become an energetic vortex of healing on the planet. Action with any energy of fixing, obligation or rescuing denies the common humanity and worth of the one you are helping. Action with agitation sinks deeper the person’s suffering. Action grounded in self-awareness and presence truly heals and unglues the pain within another. Inner peace, makes peace. I have found when someone knows their presence can heal, they no longer feel hopeless. We have a plague of apathy, and hopelessness in North America because a majority of people don’t know what to do with the world’s suffering. We have not been shown how our inner work and presence can heal. From knowing our presence heals, and feeling our greater fullness, we are more likely to be aware of an action that can help another. Our present, empathic, powerful, vulnerable self, heals, and any inspired action from this awareness, now has life changing healing effects. In service, Barbra White

A New Kind of Gratitude When I was a child I can remember saying grace at every meal. It was the same grace every time, spoken quickly and mechanically. From what I can remember, there was little, if any feeling behind the words. When the question was finally asked of my parents, “Why do we need to say grace?” the answer was given, “Because there are children in Biafra who are starving and besides it is a sin to not be grateful for what you have.” There you have it! We should be grateful because of fear and out of comparison with others. What if there was another way to approach the feeling of gratitude during this Thanksgiving and every day henceforth? Gratitude at its highest level embodies the energies of healing and love. But how do you get to that place? An easy way to begin is to start with grace. Begin by acknowledging to the spirits of the food. It is the Source which provides all and is all. Honor that a sacrifice was made so that you can be nourished. This was a sacrifice of life, a sacrifice of love. Plants and animals gave their life so that you may continue your life. To honor that sacrifice, vow to let love be your guide in your day to day activities! Vow to allow love to expand and radiate out to everyone you come in contact with. Vow to see love in all people, circumstances and things. If you sincerely honor the food you eat in this way, the lifeforce within the food increases. The food now has a higher value energetically and will help you thrive physically, mentally,
emotionally and spiritually. This change in energy has been scientifically demonstrated. Matsuro Emoto, in his work with water crystals, demonstrated a physical change in water crystals when a sincere prayer of thanksgiving was said over the water. When you attain this level of consciousness, you are ready for an even grander view of life. Through your vow of love and gratitude when you begin to see love in all things, you begin to connect to the mystery of God and the Universe. When you feel that connection and come into that knowing, a state of bliss ensues. It is a feeling so fantastic; it is hard to function in the world of form. Gratitude takes on an even deeper meaning. You understand life and its divine purpose, which is to love. You spontaneously praise the Creator of all in recognition of omnipotence and you wonder in awe at the mystery that anything but for the grace of God exists at all. David Hawkins has scientifically created a scale of human consciousness. On a scale of zero to 1000, gratitude calibrates in the 500’s. At this level, love and healing are also found. And beyond that is the state of bliss and ever expanding levels of consciousness. What energy you choose to be makes a difference. Consider this. On Hawkin’s scale 200 is neutral. Consciousness below 200 is negative. Because of the logarithmic nature of consciousness as acclaimed by the Master Jesus and other Master’s, Hawkins has found that a person who calibrates at 500 offsets the negativity of 750,000 people whose consciousness is below 200. YOU MAKE A DIFFERENCE. Practice gratitude this whole month. Make it a natural part of your be-ing. What could be better than this? Join us on Thursday, Nov 6 at 9 PM EST as we meditate on the Power of Gratitude. This FREE meditation can be accessed on line at www.BodyMindSpiritRADIO.com.

POWERFUL SENSIBLE SAYINGS FOR DAILY LIFE There are many sayings with special meanings that are important to follow. They consist of only a few words, are easy to remember, and can have a huge impact in our lives. I have noticed a big improvement in my daily life now that I follow these powerful sayings. 1) Put ourselves in someone else's shoes. This helps us understand what they are going through. 2) Say, Peace, Love, Joy and Harmony. Many times I say these words at the beginning of an argument with someone because it helps to diffuse unhappy thoughts. 3) Do 'release' work. Say very loud, "Whatever is causing (your health concern) to leave me now!'' Repeat this several times with great emphasis. 4) There are two sides to every story. If someone complains about another person, we have to also listen to the other person's point of view. 5) Laughter. Many times when upset, I laugh about my troubles instead of resorting to tears. This makes me feel sooo much better! 6) Complete the sentence, ''I am overjoyed and grateful now that...'' Write down what you want in your life that you don't have now as if it already exists. It's important to stay focused to change your vibration, so that it will come into your life. 7) Communicate with your soul. Your soul is linked with your mind. Your soul is involved with every decision you make in your physical life. It's very important to ask your soul to help your organs, and help your cells. For example, if your heart is a challenge, repeat several times, I love the souls of my heart cells. Please help yourselves-November 2014
excellent heart, happy healthy heart cells. Say, Thank you and Hao (repeat 3 times each). Also, repeat the number 3396815 for optimum wellness. For more information, you can purchase he book, "Power Healing: The Four Keys to Energizing Your Body, Mind & Spirit" by Zhi Gang Sha. 8) We must always say the words 'at least' when dealing with difficult issues. For example, since my doctor diagnosed me with Multiple Sclerosis in 2004 it has been very difficult, but at least I was fine when my children were growing up. 9) 11:11 When the time 11:11 appears on the clock the Universe is ready to receive your question or wish. The Universe will always have the answer 'yes'. For example, if you want a car... repeat for one minute at 11:11 a.m. and p.m., the words, "I can afford a car"... say this for several days. I read about a man who was granted his wish by following this method of speaking to the Universe. 10) Say the word 'HU', pronounced hue which is an ancient name for God. Say or sing HU out loud or silently about twenty minutes each day. Recently, I was in pain and while chanting HU, the pain went away. Miracles have happened using this exercise. 11) Think of 5 things each week that you are grateful for. It is more beneficial to me when I repeat them out loud to hear my treasured blessings.
through to avoid making unnecessary mistakes. For example, if you quit an undesirable job, don't get another job that is unsatisfactory in different ways. 14) Use "Afformations" instead of "Affirmations." Just say, Why am I so happy? Why am I happily married? Why am I losing weight? Why am I so spiritual? or whatever pertains to you. Afformations are empowering questions that when worded correctly by reframing your goals will reprogram your subconscious to help you achieve the outcome you desire in a shorter time. For more information read, "The Book of Afformations" by Noah St. John. by Michele Novak Stemmer, Author, Psychic, Spiritual Counselor, Numerologist, Health Advisor. Please contact me at 586-731-7096 or email: mstemmer4@gmail.com if you would like an accurate reading or Numerology Chart. Also, I highly recommend my book "DIVINE REFLECTIONS: Receiving the Real Meaning of Hidden Messages". It has many amazing stories of my life including my past life as Madeleine Force Astor who was on the Titanic ship.
12) Always look at the clean floor rather than the dirty floor. This means that if you are upset with someone, your attention goes to their bad qualities (dirty floor) instead of focusing on their good qualities (clean floor). If you ponder this, you usually see that their good qualities outweigh the bad which takes your attention away from your anger. 13) Sometimes we exchange one set of problems with another set of problems. We should never make fast decisions. We have to thoroughly think them 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

Spiritual Horoscopes Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) — Happy birthday Scorpio! Neptune moves direct, offering clarity in relationships. You’re able to heal old karma in current partnerships. Journal about past disappointments to forgive and release events — and to identify and resolve negative emotional patterns. This means healing what’s happened in the partnership, as well as the previous “junk” you and the other brought into it. Meditation gives great guidance for the future to make you even happier. Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) —Venus moves into your sign, opening doors for love in a new relationship or a current one. It’s important to meditate to release old issues from past hurts, including childhood stuff. (Neptune is working on once in a lifetime healing in that area!) Dreams can also give insights as to what keeps you from bliss. Examine family money concept that limit prosperity, so you can receive abundance! Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) — Neptune moves forward bursting your intuition open, so keep up with meditations. Even five minutes of deep breathing makes your spiritual antennae sharp all day! You can make new friends who have a deep sense about life and who walk their talk. Dare to share your spiritual thoughts and goals with loved ones to infuse more authenticity and passion into your connection. Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) — Neptune moves direct and clears up financial issues! (It’s been retrograde since June!) Meditate to release fears that have sprung up during this time. Also look forward to improved self-esteem, and a greater spiritual connection, which has probably been “wonky” lately. You can meet powerful people who’ll move
your career ahead — don’t be too proud to accept their help and guidance! Let friends dote on you, and be the receiver rather than the giver this month. Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20) – Neptune is your ruling planet and it moves forward this month. You’ve been introspective, and have maybe felt uninspired and blah for awhile. But now your spiritual life will feel lively, and what you’ve been visualizing can manifest! This could be new career possibilities, healing in relationships, connecting with more people on a spiritual path, or experiencing unconditional love for yourself. Celebrate, since you’ve worked hard on inner dimensions to have these results. You deserve these blessings! Aries (March 21 – April 19) — Even though you’re active and energized, you also have the ability to be an “internal warrior” of your subconscious. November is a powerful time to meditate to defeat old patterns that hold you back from greater success. Dreams hold clues. A new relationship with a spiritual person ignites you to go within and balance inner victories with outer ones. P.S. When irritated with others, your soul is showing you quality is within yourself! Taurus (April 20 – May 20) — It’s time to break ties with people and activities that drain you. If you can’t get away from some (like family or workmates), be clear with them about not tolerating certain behaviors or conversations. Let them know you can encourage them, but need to see them take steps to change their lives. Your time and energy is precious, so avoid whiners and use extra energy to set and meet goals. New people will come in who are mature and respectful. And you’ll be happier!
Gemini (May 21 – June 20) — You could be getting your dream job! Even if you’ve been struggling for months looking for something better, it can manifest now — or circumstances at your current work will improve. You can also start a relationship with a spiritually minded person who is upbeat and fun. If partnered, meditate to release old patterns and begin to see your loved one in a new way, as if on a first date. You’ll be amazed at the changes! Cancer (June 21 – July 22) — Your spiritual life is being renewed. Meditation and dreams can reveal obstacles that hold you back from bliss and bonding. You’ll be able to remove those blocks with ease! You’ll feel more love from others — and more self-love too! Be kind to someone at work who needs your positive energy. You’re expanding your consciousness and people sense something special about you. As you share your light you’ll be filled with additional joy. Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22) — Neptune moves forward, giving you flashes of insight about financial issues. You’ll be aware of subconscious patterns that withhold prosperity. You’ll know how to close out debts — either that you owe or are owed to you. You’ll also find your capacity for intimacy increasing. Study Tantra or other sacred sexuality techniques to empower your energy field further and to bless your partner with this tantalizing power! Also, clean your house to make sure you have a non-cluttered meditation area. Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22) — You’ll experience deep healing in relationships. New avenues of trust and closeness open. Part of your healing, however, can be drawing clear boundaries. Your co-dependent qualities will be easier to recognize and correct. Ending a bond can be a relief, and a healing of sorts. The Universe wants you to have the most energy possible for the
42 Body Mind Spirit Guide | November 2014
people who can appreciate and absorb it. Leave “empty wells” behind and move toward emotionally generous and spiritually mature people. Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22) — Your body believes every word you say (internally or aloud!) — so be kind when you look in the mirror. Focusing on your body’s strengths gives added power. Meditating on the divine energy in every cell makes weak ones heal and shine! Use affirmations about your talents. Breakthroughs at work are coming, so be ready for exciting challenges! Praise yourself constantly so you can leap forward into a new mindset physically, emotionally and spiritually! Aluna Michaels is a second-generation astrologer and Soul Evolutionist practitioner.

The Magdalene Presence There are many different perspectives about the life of Mary Magdalene and what she represents. In the Gospels, Mary washes Jesus’s feet, is there at his crucifixion, and is one of the first people who saw him after his resurrection. Interestingly, many people call her a prostitute, although the Gospels never specifically say that this is true. Another perspective about Mary Magdalene comes from the Gnostic Gospels, which indicate that Mary was a disciple of Jesus. Some have concluded that she was a temple priestess, while others speculate that she was the bride of Christ. Regardless of the exact nature of Mary Magdalene’s relationship with Jesus, she represents an archetypal aspect of the sacred feminine that is both gentle and strong, and is calling us forth (as women and men) from the shadows of the neglected feminine principle and into the light. These aspects of the feminine principle are connected to sexuality, strength, and an unshakable commitment to truth and the inherent dignity of all people. To better understand the qualities and gifts of Mary Magdalene’s archetypal spirit, it can be helpful to observe the aspects of the sacred feminine embodied by Mary, the Blessed Mother. The archetype of the Blessed Mother represents the nurturing and compassionate virgin. Her presence is pure, patient, motherly, and accepting. In contrast, Mary Magdalene’s presence is mysterious, passionate, provocative, and fervently committed to the truth. Oftentimes, these more fiery aspects of the sacred feminine have been neglected, unlike the pure and nurturing archetypal qualities of the feminine principle that are more readily embraced within the collective consciousness. 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’s helpful to remember that both of these aspects of the feminine principle are important on the path of becoming fully embodied and expressed as a woman. With Mother Mary and Mary Magdalene as our guides, we can see how within each woman there exists a pure, nurturing virgin and a passionate, mysterious priestess. Since all people will benefit when the wholeness of the sacred feminine is embraced and brought into balanced relationship with the sacred masculine, connecting with the presence of Mary Magdalene is one way to reclaim the mysterious, passionate aspects of the feminine principle. In a similar way that one may ask for guidance and support from the Blessed Mother, Mary Magdalene is available and happy to help us on our path. Call upon her for help with forgiveness (of self and others), as well as for support on the path of reclaiming your power, passion, and voice as a woman.

HOME FOR THE HOLIDAYS— Restoring the Orders of Love
As the holiday season approaches, many look forward with joyous anticipation—a time for all to gather and enjoy family. However, others are dreading the same old drama that seems to resurface year after year. However, the family that does gather this year is only a fraction of the extended family system to which each individual belongs—whether he or she feels like belonging or not. In some families many are forgotten, or worse yet, excluded, but Family Constellations reminds us once again that everyone in the family has a right to belong and each has his or her rightful place. Everyone in the family system is connected by a common power that follows irrefutable, undeniable laws that are contained in a spiritual field—known in Family Constellations as the Knowing Field. All family members are in perfect resonance with one another, regardless of past transgressions, slights, deaths, or exclusions—everyone belongs! When a family member is excluded or forgotten, the field is thrown into disarray. Excluded or forgotten family members include
RE-DISCOVER NATURE’S MEDICINE
babies who were still-born and forgotten, abortions not acknowledged or honored, miscarriages that are pushed aside, and any children who died young. The list of excluded can also contain those family members who stayed in the Old Country, those who are doing time in prison, or perhaps they are the first mate of one of the parents and their place in the system is forgotten and not honored. All these are important members of the family system, and the universal law held true in Constellations is that everyone has a place and everyone belongs! Come and see how to Restore the Orders of Love in your family system, and how to arrange the dinner table to allow love to flow to all! Liz Jelinek, PhD©

Living in Flow: Creation Circles Many of us have experienced working to change something in our lives over and over again to no avail, or hearing the same good advice time and again without it sinking in. We may have tried every way we could find only to be left in the same place. Then one day it clicks and things change. What makes the difference? Is it due to coincidence, repetition or perhaps a larger picture? In my 20 years as a psychotherapist, while applying every method and technique I knew, I was often unable to awaken clients to aspects of their personality that held them back from what they wanted, despite continuous studies in the cutting edge methods of the profession. I would try over and over again. Then one day, it appeared to be magic, and the client understood or was able to make the change. The questions regarding the mechanisms of change ran deep in me. I knew there is no such thing as magic and that change always has energetic containers, mechanisms, and structures, as well as a relationship to the Earth, moon, galaxy and beyond (the space time continuum of Earth). So I began to look for the mechanism. Why could a client experience such an ease and flow in creating change or understanding something on a given day, after having heard the same thing so many times before with no effect? I witnessed time and again a simple example of this: I first noticed that it mattered which part of the moon cycle and which day a client began an herb for depression. It dictated if a positive, negative or neutral response was achieved.
As all things created come from a container - babies have the womb, Earth has its electromagnetic field, and a cell has its membrane - the cycles and the rhythms of the Earth, the moon and sun cycles, create energetic rhythms. When we can sense these and move in sync with these rhythms, we create change through flow. Over the last 16 years, I have gathered and remembered the answers. These answers involve a complex rhythm which must be experienced to achieve desired outcomes. A daily practice that provides the in sync containers, and the inner mechanisms of connection to the rhythms of first our solar system and then beyond is needed to live in flow and get the predictable creation of change. To predictably achieve living in flow, involves the moon sign, sun sign, moon cycles and the phases associated with the layers of the earthly labyrinth that energetically exists in our vortexes in the body. Earthly labyrinths are partly made up from the schools of thought that block us from flow. If you are ready to understand and awaken to the mechanisms of change in your life, Creation Circles contains four downloadable focus practice sequences per month that will put you in the rhythm with the four aspects of being, thus providing the support and focus, and guiding your experience on the right day and at the right time. These practice sequences put you in sync with the rhythms of the moon cycles and the electromagnetic fields, guiding your awakening within each lunar cycle of the year. This is one of the mechanisms of living in flow. Kiera D. Laike, IRW, Interrelated Realm Walker, brings the theory and practice of Sensology, described in this article and in her book, Soul Orientation. Kiera founded the Sensology Institute and Embodied Teacher Certification programs it offers.
