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)

Five People Who Thought… It Couldn’t Be Done…

I thought this is where she’s going, so I called and made an appointment. Dr Reggish’s exams were only $45 and he spent over an hour with me. I’ve been doing his program now for only two weeks and I’ve lost 14 lbs. My friend has lost 9 lbs more then me, but it doesn’t matter because I’m losing weight now and I can see my friend is going crazy.

Here’s what they had to say: I heard about Dr. Reggish from my uncle in Farmington MI. He is disabled and has been in pain for many years until he found Dr Reggish. My uncle’s pain was throughout his body and most doctors called it Fibromyalgia. No one was able to help him except to give him heavy pain pills. I live in Chicago and my Uncle told me that in one visit Dr Reggish was able to make him pain free. I asked “What did he do to you?”. All he said was I have to make an appointment with Dr. Reggish, he’s a Holistic doctor. Even thou I live in Chicago, I made the appointment. Dr. Reggish did a nutritional exam and a spinal exam on me and told me what foods to avoid and what foods to eat. He gave me some Herbs to take and I followed his protocol. In one week I lost 9 ½ pounds. I couldn’t believe it because I wasn’t on a diet. I had more energy and didn’t have any sugar cravings. I have tried many diets in the last year and I couldn’t lose even 2 pounds. In one week, I lost 9 ½ pounds doing Doc’s program by following it exactly. I never thought this could happen. Also my injured knee is feeling better and my skin looks great. Thanks Dr Reggish,

God Bless you Dr Reggish. Lorretta, Sterling Hgts. I’ve been doing Dr Reggish’s Nutritional program now for 2 months and I have lost 48 lbs and feeling great. I’m 58 yrs old, single and having so much fun. I owe all of this to my loving doctor, Dr Reggish. Without you Doc, this wouldn’t be possible. Also thank you Betty for referring me. I love you so much. Heather N., Novi, MI. I’ve lost 68 lbs in only 3 months and I no longer have high blood pressure, high cholesterol or Diabetes. My triglycerides are now normal. All this because I did Dr Reggish’s nutritional program. Dr Reggish you truly changed my life. God Bless. Tony M., Monroe, MI.

Joe M., Chicago I read about Dr Reggish and thought maybe he could help me lose weight. I’m 48 yrs old and was 52 lbs overweight when I walked into his office. He did two exams me for $45 and told me what foods I had sensitivities to. He told me what to do and after one week I lost 17 lbs and the 2nd week I lost another 6 lbs. This is truly a miracle. I’m starting my 3rd week now and can’t wait to get back in his office. Dr. Reggish, thank you for all the time you took with me. You are truly a wonderful caring person. Also, I almost forgot, my hot flashes are gone. You’ve truly changed my life. Betty Jean, Midland My girlfriend has been losing a lot of weight in the last month and it has been driving me crazy especially after seeing how much she eats. I’ve been so jealous because no girl wants to see their friend lose weight while you’re not. She wouldn’t tell me the doctor see was seeing. One day I was at her house and I found an article about Dr. Reggish and these patients that were losing all this weight. It had Dr Reggish’s phone number circled. JAN 2015

Nutritional And Spinal Exams For the Month of Jan. 2015 Terms: Good for one visit. Must present ad at time of visit.

In our office we do Nutritional and Spinal exams for a single fee of $45. With these exams we can identify and determine what factors are contributing to your health concerns.

Forgive and Be Free: A Meditation It’s the season for forgiveness. Winter is about to set in. The days are shorter, and with family closer, one may start to remember again, why we go out each day and fight our battes. But family around the dinner table may trigger unresolved issues, rekindling frustrations or anger. I write this on Thanksgiving night, after having had dinner with close family. Some of whom are loving, but a few who have never left my thoughts since they declared I don’t count as their family, after a minor incident. And yet, we continue to dine, laugh, and recollect 10 years of being around each other, through good times and bad. Not everyone is as fortunate as I am to have some measure of the rebuilding of bridges burned; but is this true harmony or a cold truce that will unravel at the next critical incident, when our principles are tested? The external origins of 'un-forgiveness' are typically past, but sometimes, remain in the future. From genocides to individual tragedies, our heart cannot bear the injustices we are powerless against, and cannot stop thinking of future scenarios when the injustice may repeat itself. Thus anger sustains within us as un-forgiveness. At the subtle level, the left and right energy channels are both in play.

These two channels have a major crossover between the eyebrows and around the “third eye” area in the brain. Stress on either channel blocks this energy center. But forgiveness is a special block that comes from the simultaneous stress on the left and right, constricting this energy center completely. This center is our gateway to bliss and universal connection in the crown chakra. Our forgiveness, thus, suffocates us spiritually, when we disconnect from all that is divine and nourishing. Fortunately, there is a way to unlock this blockage without years of mental struggle and rational lines of approach. The heart chakra has a sub-channel that connects to the crown, passing through the third eye. A simple meditation for forgiveness can sometimes help significantly. Try this method, given by Sahaja Yoga founder and Master of Kundalini, ShriMatajiNirmala Devi:

STEP 1: Sit down comfortably on a chair or on the floor STEP 2: Put your left hand in your lap, and right hand across the forehead

In image 1, the major channels on the left (moon) and the right (sun), represent our emotions in the past and planning work for the future. The memories of an infraction from the past stimulates the need to overthink reactions we would have against the offending party when we come across them, or worse, happen to confront them. Typically, such plans to use words and deeds never materialize as we sneak back into the comfort of artificial harmony, shielding truth with politeness. And yet, the anger simmers and burns us within.

STEP 3: Take your attention to your heart and affirm seven times, “I forgive everyone and everything” without thinking of specific people or events STEP 4: Let your attention float up from your heart into your crown chakra STEP 5: Enjoy moments of silence and let them expand into longer quiet moments

JAN 2015

Tips: 1. Do not worry about breaking your silence. Go easy on yourself. Simply bring your attention back in the crown if it drifts off into thoughts or external distractions.

2. Do not spend more than 10 minutes on the meditation above. Repeat steps if needed. I would love to hear your experience with this meditation. I would like to learn from you if you have used any strategies for forgiveness and found them helpful. Here are two that I’ve learned to use: A. Communication lines are open: If the lines of contact are open, find a different area or topic. Let your antagonist give advice or share a story from their heart. Create new memories that will supersede the bad events. Children in kindergarten do it all the time. Carry home more happy memories than sad ones. B. Communication has stopped: For a number of reasons, we may be unable to communicate with the other party, due to death, divorce, etc. In such a case, a substitution through another person or activity is usually a good place to start, but meditation is essential to sustain the state of forgiveness when we are not engaged with the substitute person or activity. I would love to learn your tried and tested methods to forgive and let go. Start a conversation at vic@meditatewith.us with me today. Have a wonderful Winter ahead. V.

This morning as I was doing my morning meditations, a Coopers Hawk landed on a branch of my Maple tree friend, who lives just outside my window. Since Hawks are some of God’s messengers, when they arrive in your life, it pays to check and see if they might have a message for you! So I asked, “Are you here to gift me with a message or just hunting?” The reply excited me down to my toes! The hawk said, “Fly with me”. Being human is an amazing thing! Our souls have the ability to experience what it is like to be all other life forms. We do this through imagination, but also through the spiritual capacity of our souls. It is as though other life forms teach us to be ourselves in ways that our own culture and ordinary life can’t do. We can be anything from a hawk, or a tree, to a flower or a whale. Doing so awakens within our soul the greatness of our being and the freedom of our spirit. It takes us out of our limited perception of self and helps us realize our potential as we incorporate the unique strengths each creature specializes in and which they awaken within us. It is quite a gift! So I took a moment to open to the hawk within me and immediately I felt tremendous joy and aliveness. Every part of my body and soul came to focus in that moment and I experienced unity with God and life, not just in my body, but I could feel it in my aura; as though the layers of energy that

surround my body were actually wings. I could feel the individual feathers, each aware of the wind and their unique role in keeping me aloft. I felt refreshed, liberated and deeply relaxed. It was like being on vacation for a month without all the logistical requirements! All humans have the capacity to do this; they just need to focus for a few minutes at a time to let it happen. Nature is the most amazing teacher. When in nature, let your soul be guided to what is there that has a message or gift for you. Something will grab your attention, maybe not at will, but when the time is right, and you will feel a connection like it is speaking to you, only on the inside and often without words! When this happens, spend time opening, letting yourself become: a cloud, tree, bird, wave, dew drop, chipmunk – whatever has called to you. The experience will be most effective if you let this happen with your feeling self -- not up in your head or out of your body, but right down to your toes, within your breath, in your finger tips and your spine. Let it happen inside of you! You can even utilize pictures, videos or television to connect with nature this way. After you have watched and observed how they live, turn off the media device if you are using one and let yourself become the creature in your imagination and feeling self. Feel it in your heart and belly and all the way down to your toes, let it awaken within your soul. Out in nature is best, although rather limited this time of year in this part of the country! You

JAN 2015

could do this with a snowflake, an evergreen tree or the wind! With practice, you will learn to experience this and it will help your soul to grow spiritually attuned to life within you and more aware of the messages and goals of your own higher self. You will also begin to integrate the gifts of different life forms into yourself; not by stealing their energy, but by awakening these potentials within your own self. Every aspect of nature can be your teacher. If you need more courage and better boundaries, spend time integrating the lion or the wolf. So, when life feels too dry and restricted; when it seems that the computer and the phone, or the dishes and the kid’s schedules have eaten you up and you feel tired of your life, let nature refresh and awaken your soul. Let yourself experience a different way of being and seeing the world for just a few minutes. You too will feel as though you have had a month’s vacation and can return to your life with a fresh attitude and a smile.

Trance-Formation: Some Thoughts about Past Life Regression Within the layers of our consciousness there exist alternative realities - each as engaging and "real" as the material realm within which we are presently embodied. Through the process of Past Life Regression (PLR) hypnosis, it is possible to "wake up" into one of these alternative realities in the same manner that the nighttime dreamer arouses into daytime wakefulness. In so doing, we unlock a vast inner storehouse of experience, wisdom and insight that can inform our present life, heal old wounds, provide sought-after answers, and promote a sense of wholeness and integration. The world we "see" is filtered through our needs, wishes, values, and worldview, and the resulting memories are recorded into our brains not as objective, historical renderings of "Truth"; rather, our brain records reality as perceived through our human subjectivity. This is true of past life memories as well. While in the PLR trance state, we become witnesses to ourselves in other human bodies seeking joy, meaning, survival, and prosperity just as we are now. And we witness ourselves in other human bodies that are subject to the same inclinations to make mistakes, poor choices, pursue unhealthy habits and misadventures as now. Wisdom does not come merely through the reliving of the past, but in transcending the patterns of the past. PLR aids in that process. We have taken the human form to bring a certain wisdom and range of experience to our soul. The evolution of our soul is a process; we can take as much time as we need, repeat as many mistakes as necessary, and re-live the same lessons over and over until they are learned and deeply ingrained. We have eternity on both sides of the present moment, rendering time a playground for our soul when it is embodied in the human form. While experiencing Past Life Regression, people are able to access a deeper, more complete understanding of themselves by recovering their soul's history which, to that point, had been inaccessible to awareness. But that doesn't mean those forgotten memories haven't influenced our choices and perceptions. Indeed, the influence is profound but unseen and we are compelled to repeat the patterns of the past until we step outside the limitations of our everyday awareness. Past Life Regression helps one shift from the psychological to a spiritual dimension of being.

Our spirit is that part of us that transcends time and links us to the Divine. Our human form and brain drapes an awareness that has existed in other bodies and, upon the death of the physical body, will leave to assume other forms. Contained within our spirit are the memories of all we have been and That Which We Are. Several of my clients have voiced the same sentiment, that “Our physical being is the spiritual experience of our soul. And…the Creator lives through us.” In trance, we can transcend the limiting and often-unchallenged self-beliefs brought to us through our upbringing, culture, education and even religion. Wisdom lives within us, but often speaks in a whisper. Embark on a good remembering and trance-formation through PLR.

5 Secrets for Easy Decision-Making

Are YOU Losing the War with GRAVITY? * Shoulders rounded and tense? * Are you less flexible than you use to be? * Chronic hip, neck or lower back pain? * Does your body feel beaten down & compressed?

Does decision-making scare you? If so, you’re not alone. Though most of us make many decisions every day, there are times when this process is anything but easy. The next time you’re faced with a decision and feel paralyzed by fear, try one of these five techniques. It’s my hope that one or all will help ease your stress and worry when making decisions.

Structural Integration (Rolfing") can:

1. Swap out the word. Change the word ‘decision’ to the word ‘choice’. Choice is lighter and less daunting. It also seems less final. This subtle shift is a powerful one. 2. Put it into perspective. The next time you find yourself paralyzed by fear when making a decision, ask yourself this question: “How important is it?” Take this concept even further by asking, “How will I feel about this in a year? In 5 years?” 3. Know when to halt. When making decisions, check your “sense of urgency meter” - the feeling you must do something now. If it’s high - meaning you’re unable to focus on anything else and are on edge - anxiety has likely kicked in. This is good and bad. It’s good because this is a red flag to step away from the decision for now. Why? Excessive worry and fear actually cloud your judgment and often result in faulty decisions made too quickly. It’s bad because this is easier said than done. As difficult as it may be, use your sense of urgency as a signal to wait. Distract yourself. Go for a walk, do a fun activity or meditate. Your answer will eventually come but not if you’re trying to force it.

* Improve your posture dramatically * Assist in breathing easier and deeper * Improve your game (yoga, golf, etc.) * Make being in your body joyous and uplifting Check out our Youtube videos on the rolfmagic chanel.

4. Use the “If it’s not a definite yes, it’s a no” trick. This is a great yardstick for making decisions. If there’s any doubt about the decision and it doesn’t feel like a “yes, yes, yes”, don’t do it. 5. Tune in to you. When faced with a decision of two or more options, always check in with your body. Does one option feel light and good while the other feels heavy? This is your body speaking to you. Trust it and go with the lighter choice. It’s your truth.

Playing With a Full Deck I’m pretty sure you’ve heard someone say, “They’re not playing with a full deck” or “They don’t have both oars in the water.” While these terms seem derogatory and judgmental in nature, what if there were more truth about this with everyone on this planet? What if no one is playing with a full deck? Have you seen the movie, “Lucy”? If you haven’t, the basic premise behind this movie is that on average people only use about 10% of their capacities and capabilities. Whereas someone like Oprah or Richard Branson are said to use about 12-15% of their brain power. with

As the drug leaks into her system and enters her bloodstream, a percentage meter is shown on screen showing how her capacities are increasing and she becomes more aware of her surroundings and plots her escape. Throughout the movie, they show this percentage meter on the screen and we see how Lucy accesses her new capacities and capabilities until she reaches 100%.

What happens in the movie “Lucy” (spoiler alert) is that Lucy, played by Scarlett Johansson, unwillingly becomes a drug mule. A bag of a new drug is surgically implanted into her abdomen. In one scene, she is captured by a rival drug cartel, chained up and beaten. During this beating the bag of drugs develops a small tear and a bit of the drugs begins to leak out.

Access Bars® is a tool that starts to open you up to receiving more of you; more of whatever you would like to have in your life. This is accomplished by touching and holding 32 points on the head. By touching these points, using about 12 different hand positions, the energy starts to remove points of view (POV), conclusions, judgments and computations, that are locking you up and limiting your life. There are many other tools in Access, usually questions, that start to remove the positive and negative charges around points of view and judgments and move you to a neutral position. By clearing out all of this electrical discharge, you start to have more clarity and greater awareness. More Consciousness.

Plan to Win the Game in 2015! Happy New Year! Welcome to 2015 and another round of America’s favorite game. Many people begin the New Year with the game of trying to get in shape. Although they may have started with the speed of a race horse, the pace tends to become significantly slower as the year progresses. By Thanksgiving, the majority of these folks have completely given up on their fitness goals and the game is over for the year. Excuses often involve the faulty mindset that getting in shape takes too much time or is too expensive. When their efforts don’t appear to be paying off, many people get frustrated and return to unhealthy habits. As the holidays approach, they console themselves with plans for starting over in the New Year. If this is sounding familiar, would you like to get on a new track for getting in shape so you don’t have to keep starting over? While you might not want to place any bets just yet, getting on this track may be exactly what you need to achieve your fitness goals and finally win in this game!

There are 4 simple rules: # 1- Eat clean food. When you eat processed foods, junk foods, or any type of artificial foods, you store the toxins from these foods in your body. These toxins are stored in the fatty tissues of your body to protect you from harm. However, storing these toxins in your fatty tissues means you won’t be able to burn extra fat in your body as fuel because doing so would release these harmful toxins into your body, perhaps making you ill. When fat stores become filled with toxins (viewed as poison by the body), additional fat will be created to have places to store new toxins. It is important to understand this concept because this unhealthy cycle leads to a cascade of problems. For example, belly fat may begin to produce the hormone estrogen. This estrogen causes the production of more fatty tissue which becomes especially problematic for overweight men who take supplemental testosterone. The estrogen can contain an enzyme called aromatase that turns testosterone into more estrogen. The estrogen continues to make more fat rather than making the muscle they had hoped for – the muscle that was going to help them lose weight by having more muscle mass to burn their excess stored energy, known as fat. The good news is that there are safe ways to detoxify fat stores without causing damage to the body. Don’t be confused about good fats and bad fats. Good fats provide energy for your body and are the most efficient forms of storage for energy. However, you must avoid all trans-fats, including certain vegetable oils, over-heated oils, and processed fats and oils. Another reason for eating clean food is that artificial junk foods contain lots of chemicals. Especially frustrating to those trying to get into shape are those called obesogens. Obesogens are designed to increase the number of fat cells in your

body. This way you feel hungrier so you want to buy more of the food containing the obesogens - good for producers but not consumers. # 2- Don’t eat beyond your first sigh. When you eat beyond the point of being satiated, you will click over into an outdated survival program from the days when food was scarce. Once our immediate food needs are satisfied, the rest of the food is turned into storage in a form to carry with us, called fat. This phenomenon takes place with all kinds of food, both good and bad. # 3-Eat the foods of our ancestors. Fill your plate with eggs, meat and fish. If you are thinking saber tooth tiger steaks, think again because they went out of existence before we came on the scene. I suggest eating the basic Paleo diet 80-90% of the time. Fresh fruit and vegetables should be in a ratio of 90% vegetables to 10% fruit. Fruit should be primarily berries as they are low glycemic. Avoid most fruit juice although tart cherry is a worthy exception. Use the EWG (environmental working group) guidelines to learn which fruits and vegetables need to be organic in order to avoid the most chemicals and pesticides. Meat and eggs should be organic, free range. Fish needs to be wild caught and only consumed once a week, thanks to the toxic loads in fish, even if it’s wild caught. Take approximately 3 grams of good quality omega-3 fish oil every day. (Your brain and your friends will thank you!) Diary should be in the form of cheese and raw is best. Raw milk (either from goats or cows) from clean, responsible farms is the only milk I endorse. In Michigan, this involves purchasing a cow-share. Almond milk is a good substitute. # 4 - Exercise daily. Start each day with stretches from the exercise class I teach, spins, and a 5 minute free weight workout. If you want to do more - great!

Here’s the bottom line: People start the year with great intentions to be the best they can be, working hard with diet and exercise. But you can’t get rid of toxic fat without detoxifying the body. The fat must be cleaned up so it can be burned off. This is the reason most people fail in their efforts to get into shape. To get in shape in a way that also improves your health often means changing various aspects of your lifestyle. Rather than going on a diet, eat in a way that supports what you want to see in the mirror and what you want to do in your life. You’ll need a body that is capable of the exercise it deserves, meaning that you’ll need a functioning nervous system. Regular chiropractic adjustments are the best way to maintain a healthy nervous system.

Buddha, the First Positive Psychologist The psychological approach of Buddhism grows from the Buddha’s initial experience of trauma. The legend goes that as a young man, the Buddha, a prince named Siddhartha Gautama, sought to leave his palace. He had been raised in splendid isolation, shielded from the outside world. But like all young men he grew curious. What was outside these cloistered walls? he wondered. He ordered his servant to take him outside. The servant reluctantly complied. As he and his servant left the palace they saw an ill person, pale, wan, coughing. “What is that?” young Siddhartha asked the servant. “That is illness” said his servant. “Everyone gets ill, and so will you!” They then came upon an elderly person, bent over, wrinkled, with gnarled hands. “What is that?” asked Siddhartha. “That is old age” said his servant. “Everyone gets old, and so will you!” As they traveled, they spied a corpse lying in the street. The corpse was stiff and white. “What is that?” said the Prince with shock. “That is death” said the servant. “Everyone dies, and so will you!’ Siddhartha was traumatized, frozen and dispirited. He had never imagined that so much suffering existed in the world. They next spied a Sadhu, an ascetic religious pilgrim. He was nearly naked, dressed in rags. He was emaciated and filthy. Yet he had radiance about him. His countenance was calm. He had a smile, and appeared to be in a state of blissful peace. His state of equanimity touched Siddhartha’s heart. Right then the future Buddha became determined to discover how he too could find peace in the face of so much worldly suffering. Buddhist psychology exclaims that suffering -disappointment, anxiety, depression -- are inherent in the human condition. And it is our task to accept suffering, but find ways to make peace with it. This contrasts with the western view that painful emotional states are pathologies to be eliminated. Western psychology sees human suffering as symptoms, which need to be treated and eradicated by medication or talk therapy. The recent Western academic and clinical movement called, “Positive Psychology”, more closely mirrors the Buddhist approach. Most clinical psychology had focused on human pathology, and why it occurred. Positive Psychology began by focusing on happy individuals and asked, “How do they find happiness in this world of stress? In the face of daily tribulation, losses of all kinds, and frequent trauma, how do some individuals remain content?

After years of studying such persons, they found a common denominator. It was not that happy people had fewer stresses in the their lives; it was that they cultivated the positive in their daily living. Even as stresses bombarded them, they remained grateful for life’s bounty. The patients that the Positive Psychologists studied were like the Buddha. The Buddha reached enlightenment through staying serene, by refusing to weaken in the face of the steady assaults by the evil goddess, Mara. Mara attacked the Buddha. She hurled knives and arrows, but they never touched the Buddha and, instead, in the face of his serenity, they “turned into flowers and fell at his feet”. In studying college students, psychologists found that the unhappy students focused on the hard work, the poor living conditions, and the mistreatment by the college staff and professors -- all of which certainly existed. The happy students, however, focused on the privilege of getting an education, the personal relations they were building, and the rosy future an education would give them. It was not that one group had more suffering inherent in their life; it was that one group chose to put their energy into the positives not the negatives. Gratefulness is all around us. In the morning prayers of Jews, they thank God for restoring their soul so that they may live another day. We need to be grateful mostly for the privilege of being alive. The Orthodox Jews thank God for every meal, for every sunset, for every breath. They create happiness, and this is what Positive Psychologists found. It was the happy people who experienced positive events. It was not the events that made people happy or sad. We can cultivate happiness. Try this experiment that Shawn Anchor discusses in, “The Happiness Advantage.” Each morning, get up and write down three things in the last 24 hours for which you can be grateful. It may mean a friendly glance, getting a parking space, or winning the lottery. Search your mind and experiences, to discover the bits of life that you can view with joy and gratitude. Do the experiment for 3 months. You will have cultivated a trait of joy and contentment even if stressors remain the same!

Unveiled

I work for Freedom, but what is this? Is it the American Dream, our cherished wish?

I am the woman who you see, perhaps one that you know.

Should the dream dreamt for us be all that we seek?

I am taking off this veil, “I can’t breathe,” I can’t wear it no mo’.

So many souls who are still asleep; why do few brave to speak?

I hid behind a mask unbeknownst even to me,

White, black, rich or poor,

Living the life that I created; one of false joy and disharmony.

Lord Credit and Lord Corporate restricts the to serf to its lot,

As sure as Saturn retrogrades and spins

Less is not more, more is more.

Desire, spend, swipe

It’s presence at 27 ushered in… The love that I felt was sacred only to me, The home that I built crumbled suddenly, Abundance became choice And choice necessity Holding everything and everyone together,

Many paths took I on the Fool’s journey, Crowned with Wisdom, Pruned by Folly. Spiritual persecution was the final rite

I passed my initiation to become a worker of the light.

I felt the weight of the world upon my back.

Yes, “the vision awaits its appointed time,”

Seven years of many labors I had to endure.

Habbakuk 2:3-4 spoke so true,

I give thanks to the Goddess that I did not crack. “Arise High Priestess, you’ve been asleep for too long,” Said Little Eagle Standing Strong. “Are you talking to me; surely you’re wrong.” The maiden born for peace was now commissioned for spiritual war, “Bring Light into the world and anchor love at its core.” Behold the things that Spirit makes one do, I followed my dream and renounced security’s embrace, To boldly begin my Vision Quest and stare darkness in the face.

It is with confidence that I tell you “my wait is through.” As a pearl emerging from its shell, the old me ends, That pearl is Virginia Mercury; her new life begins. I am neither a guru, nor a goddess, nor a sorceress or sage, I desire not fame, fortune, or the spoils of this age. I let Spirit guide me as the Elders say, It is my pleasure to walk with you as we both find our way. Our wealth and well-being comes from the one true Source, Surrender to it as your guide and it will steer your course.

My American dreamer, “Oh say can’t you see?” We are more than a number! We are more than a name! We are seeded from the Divine which makes us the same. Divine Seed, Listen Up! I AM talking to YOU, There are many of us now, though it seems like a few. Divine Seed, seek the Light and unleash the true YOU, Dream a new dream, for the 99 percent; One for me and one for you too.

“Detroit’s Lending a Hand Loan Closet” Seeks Rehab Devices for Detroit Seniors

of Royal Oak

Do you have ‘gently used’ rehabilitation equipment such as walkers, wheelchairs, canes, shower chairs, etc., that are no longer being used and are taking up space in your closet, basement or garage? Would you like to pass them on to patients who would benefit greatly by having them?

DISCOVER...

“Detroit’s Lending a Hand Loan Closet” is a local organization that helps provide free assistive devices for Seniors and residents of Detroit who are unable to afford them. Although Lending Closets are plentiful in surrounding communities, they are scarce in the city of Detroit. The donated items, used for self-care and daily activities, help recovering patients create independence and live with safety, dignity and well-being, and there is no time limit as to how long patients can keep the items. The organization was founded by Mary Beth Kiefer, an Occupational Therapist for 37 years. “I facilitated evaluations in Detroit and three out of four patients didn’t have rehab devices since facilities don’t have the funding to provide them, and Medical Insurance doesn’t pay for them. We are in desperate need for rehab equipment for the citizens of Detroit.” For information on volunteering or donating items, contact Mary Beth Kiefer (248) 3360795.

Spiritual Astrology The Cosmic Dance for 2015 Astrology is vast because it is our inter-relationship with Cosmos but it’s also very personal because it puts things into perspective. When we gaze out at a starry night and know that planets and stars are being born millions of light years away, we realize we are tiny in comparison. The study of the cosmos keeps our egos in check! The more we study astrology, the more it keeps us sane and detached about all the crazy and wonderful things that happen. We are, after all, just specks of cosmic dust. But we’re important too because we’re also sparks of the Divine. Spiritual Astrology, also known as Evolutionary or Karmic Astrology, is a branch of Western Astrology. It is different from conventional astrology in that it is not primarily preoccupied with you, the personality, but instead puts you -- the higher The Aetherius Society - Michigan Branch

Life is not just a series of haphazard events and then we die. It is a journey of the soul through evolution. Spiritual astrology provides us with a guidebook for our journey through the lifetimes, and it takes us forward into our future as well as back into our past. Let us go on a journey together back before you were born. You are on the other realms awaiting rebirth. You are waiting for the exact moment for the planets to be aligned in a certain way for your karma to be worked out in this, your next life. Your higher self has seen that, although you did well in many ways, you still have lessons to learn. It is a fascinating time awaiting rebirth. Your higher self knows that, however idyllic or not your life is on the subtle realms you are now leaving, this physical plane is where the real learning takes place. This is especially true now, as this time in our history is an extremely significant period for us and the world. The cosmic symphony of planetary energies is urging us to grow and evolve now more than ever before. Why? Because the prophecies, predictions, and planets all indicate that we are in a time of great change. This period of global change is the Age of Aquarius. The Astrological Ages represent changes of consciousness and each lasts about 2,150 years. There are many theories about the actual beginning of the Age of Aquarius because the cusp (meaning edge or beginning of a change) lasts for over one hundred years. However, this Aquarian Age has begun, and seeds of a collective consciousness shift associated with Aquarius are already emerging. We see JAN 2015

Within these long cycles of the Ages, are the cycles of the planets, which also bring opportunities for evolution through their graceful cosmic dance. These cycles vary in length-- the fastest, the Moon, and the slowest, Pluto. As 2015 begins, we’re in the middle of a powerful aspect, or relationship, between two of the three Outer Planets, Uranus and Pluto. Both of these planets signify change: Uranus – sudden and unexpected; Pluto – deep and transformative. This particular aspect between these planets of change is called a square. This difficult square has lasted from mid-2012 and will culminate this year in March 2015, with seven exact hits throughout this period. This is bringing intense personal and global pressure for change. The more we resist this planetary energy, the more difficult we will find the process of transformation that is taking place at a very deep level. The slow-moving Outer Planets influence an entire generation. Their power influences the way the world thinks through events that move us from our usual way of being and thinking. This can happen through natural disasters, such as earthquakes, and also through intense cultural and societal events. A similar Uranus-Pluto aspect took place in the 1960s when we witnessed extreme changes that shaped consciousness forward into the future. The changes we are witnessing now and through March 2015 are a continuation of changes that began at this time.

Gemstone of the Month: Garnet Characteristics: Garnet is not specifically a gemstone -- it’s actually a name for a group of silicate minerals that have similar structures and components. For that reason, the Garnet gemstone is available in a rainbow of colors— the most common color being the red and reddish brown. The gemstone has a high refractive index, which means it has great brilliance and reflects light in beautiful and powerful ways. Garnets are a durable gem that come from all over the world— from the U.S. to South Africa, Sri Lanka, Brazil, India, Argentina, Australia, Scotland, Switzerland and Tanzania; this dazzling gemstone is everywhere. Origin: The name Garnet is a Latin term for “seed” due to the red garnet’s resemblance to a pomegranate seed. Ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans revered the garnet as a protective gemstone that would “light the night” and protect its wearers from evil and doom. In the bible, it tells of Noah using the garnet gemstone to navigate and light the Ark for 40 days and 40 nights. During medieval times, the gem was thought to protect, cure depression, safeguard from bad dreams and purge the body of disease. The garnet was used on the breast plates of high priests and was often worn as an amulet in defense against poisons. The King of Saxony is rumored to have had a garnet of more than 465 carats. Folklore: Garnets are believed to increase confidence, courage, energy and security. It symbolizes protection, faith, trust, compassion and fidelity. Today, the garnet remains a great gift of love and is widely known as the birthstone for the month of January, but has also been traditionally given for the 19th anniversary of marriage. Rich in its history, variety of color, and a sturdiness that lasts for ages, with its classic and timeless attraction in ancient talismans and modern day jewelry, the garnet remains among one of the most beautiful natural wonders of the mineral world.

Keeping The Body Healthy in the New Year The first thing to do to keep the body healthy is to clear the toxins out of the body. The liver works to filter the blood. What happens when the liver’s filter becomes congested with an excessive amount of waste? The liver must perform some 500 different valuable functions to keep the body well. When the liver becomes congested with waste from undigested, unusable food residue, especially refined fats, it can cause an excess of cholesterol which then forms on the arterial walls. As this cholesterol thickens on the arterial walls, small pieces flake and join the circulating blood. When these small particles contact each other, they stick together forming larger masses that the liver has to filter. This Cholesterol will, over time, fill the gallbladder and clog the liver. Your gallbladder is an emulsifier; it acts like a detergent, breaking down fats and oils by turning them into a liquid. Once you have cholesterol build-up on the arterial walls, it will eventually turn into plaque material. In time, in the gallbladder itself, these cholesterol crystals form little green balls of cholesterol. This will eventually turn into plaque material, which starts to cause a backing-up of the same material into the liver, creating a “fatty liver,” which again reduces the liver’s filtering capabilities. When the liver can’t keep up with filtering enough of the cholesterol crystals from the blood, the blood starts to get saturated with a heavier concentration of the cholesterol crystals, which increases the levels that show up in a blood serum cholesterol test. Try making healthy food and treats when preparing meals. Here is a healthy heart cake recipe from my book, “Stop The Clock”.

Healthy Heart Cake

Put into spring form pan. The cake gets better tasting when sitting in the refrigerator overnight. Add raw banana ice cream onto each layer.

Instantly Increase the Success Rate of your New Year’s Resolutions We have all been there before. January 1st rolls around and we are highly motivated to make a difference in the New Year. We vow to do it differently and so with great optimism and enthusiasm we set in motion a series of plans, actions and commitments to change. Within weeks and surely by the end of winter, most of what was hoped for is no more. Life is still the same. Surely this isn’t the way it is meant to be! How do we get a different result? Of course, there are many tools and techniques that can be used to help but there is one thing that is often overlooked that remains profoundly powerful in helping us create permanent change in our life.

More Discipline Is Not The Answer We know that whatever we wish to change would have changed already if we knew how. So it is not a matter of desire or more discipline. Invariably, at some level of our being, there is a reason that we remain imprisoned. There is a story (likely an unconscious one) that we have been telling ourselves that offers some kind of reward. Our reward could be drama, victimhood, pride, overweight, selfloathing, depression and so on. On a conscious level, none of us desire these things in our life. But it is how the soul works through the subconscious and the ego. Trying to change by creating a new vision of you and exerting force of will alone, is often not enough to overcome the story of your life. Let Go Of Your Story Holding on to your story is the one thing often overlooked when people seek to transform their lives. Trying to do it another way is like trying to blow air into an already inflated raft. When the raft is already filled with air, it is really hard to put more into it. In fact, the more you try the more resistance there is and the harder it becomes. Consider also that a raft that is so full of air is less flexible than one with a little less air. At some point, the pressure can build to such an extent that the raft could burst. Have you ever felt like you could burst? Of course you have. This is where underlying irritability and unprovoked anger comes from. It becomes an undertone that affects our entire life. Holding On Pushes Life Away Letting go of your story reduces the resistance. Change will be much easier for you. Interestingly, these stories are reflected in your breath pattern which is likely to be shallow and rapid. We have

witnessed this in hundreds of breathers. As a result, your life force is also suppressed, denying you the vitality and passion of a joyful life that comes with being more conscious. A Prayer of Letting Go There is a prayer we use to help us let go of our stories. It is based on the Hawaiian healing technique, Ho’ponopono, and it goes something like this: “I am sorry for creating this issue in my life. Please forgive me for creating separation, lack and suffering. Thank you, however, for bringing this lesson into my life. I love you (the experience I created) for the gift you have given me. I have learned from it and, therefore, no longer need this condition. Because I love you, I set you free, to go and become something else. It is done. Amen.” The Breath Enhances As we mentioned before, because the story suppresses your breath pattern, letting go of it will open it up and allow you to access more life-force. There are certain breathing techniques we teach that enhances the prayer, making it even more effective in less time. May the New Year bring you tremendous blessings of good health, happiness, prosperity, spirituality and an abundance of all that is good. Dave Krajovic MBA, CPA, CMT

There is a lot going on within this little prayer and the breathing techniques. If you would like to learn more, please join us for our workshop, Creating the Life You Want on February 1 and/or join us for our Guided Creation Meditation on Monday, January 5 at 9 PM EST on www.BodyMindSpiritRADIO.com David is available for speaking and seminars on a variety of health, wellness and inspirational subjects. 734 416-5200

Lingam: the Stone of Sacred Truth Once you see a lingam, you will never forget it! It is a uniquely shaped and colored stone that has deep symbolism and healing powers. The symbolism behind the Shiva Lingam is exciting. This egg shaped crystalline quartz stone originates in one of India’s holy sites. The classic feature of the lingam is the reddish spots and lines on a tan or brownish background. The elongated egg shape, almost oval in nature, is considered phallic, representing the phallus of Hindu god Shiva. Shiva symbolizes the creative force or the primal energy from which life and creation emerges. The female is represented in the reddish spots and lines, representing the blood of the woman, combining with the seed of the masculine, giving birth to life. The union of the sacred masculine and feminine energies of the stone activates the kundalini energy, which rises and activates the chakras, and brings enlightenment. The Shiva Lingam is said to be a representation of the infinite Cosmic Column of Fire. The stone represents the energies of the four elements, fire, water, earth and air. The fire element of the lingam is said to help awaken kundalini energies, amping up the energy in the whole chakra system. If you need more energy and vitality, carry or sleep with a lingam to recharge the system. Meditating with the lingam is also advised.

cientists and esoteric legend are beginning to agree that there may be a field of knowledge in the collective unconscious that holds the memory of traditions, human ritual, and belief. It may be possible to access it through the sacred lingam. The lingam has been considered a talisman, and because it is quartz, it can connect to all who have used it throughout time and space. If you want to let old patterns die, destroy old ways of being and experience a rebirth to a higher state of being, choose the Lingam as your stone to support you on the journey. The stone affects the electromagnetic field of the body and stimulates the meridians. It provides healing and strength to all areas of the body. The lingam helps one see the polarities, and unites the different aspects of the self with loving acceptance. It aids us in seeing that the differences we see in others are aspects of the Creator God. We can more easily overcome judgments and criticism and be more connected to all. Use this stone if you are suffering from infertility, reproductive or sexual disorders. Some say that this is a stone that you should not share with others, but maintain it for your personal use and to tap into the truth of who you are!

What is Healing Touch? How Does it Differ from Casually Touching Someone? Einstein’s equation E=mc2 states that energy and matter are the same. Matter is energy vibrating at a slower speed. We appear to be solid. However, we are actually vibrating energy. Everything is vibrating energy. The food we eat, our furniture, the walls of our homes, the ground we walk on are all vibrating energy. We are constantly interacting with people energetically. Have you ever had the experience of feeling uncomfortable, because someone walked up to you and stood too close to you? You might want to try an experiment with some friends. Simply walk up to someone and pay attention to how you feel as you get closer to them. Most of the time, there is a point where it feels uncomfortable to get any closer. That distance varies from culture to culture. Our energy fields extend beyond our bodies; you are actually in someone’s energy field when you are doing this experiment. Healing Touch is a relaxing, nurturing, energy therapy. According to the National Institute of Health, Healing Touch (HT) is a biofield therapy. Did you ever notice when you were ill or feeling stressed that you felt "out of sorts”? Could you also describe that as being out of balance? Whenever there is an illness, an injury or a person feels stressed, the person’s energy field is indeed out of balance. The goal of Healing Touch is to restore harmony and balance in the client’s energy system. This facilitates the self-healing process and can also help us to stay healthy. HT is done by lightly touching the person or moving the hands in the energy field that surrounds them. This facilitates holistic healing on physical, emotional, mental and spiritual levels. HT is used to reduce pain, promote relaxation and enhance the receiver’s natural, innate ability to self-heal. The HT practitioner is actually facilitating the healing by balancing the person’s energy field. Most people find it very relaxing to give and receive. So how does Healing Touch differ from casually touching someone? A person giving HT works from a centered heart, with unconditional love, and sets the intention to work for the receiver’s highest and greatest good. It is important to let go of any attachment to the outcome for the healing. From our limited perspective, we do not know what the best outcome is for someone. It is also important to be nonjudgmental. We do not know what has transpired in someone’s life, so it is best not to judge them or anyone else. It is thought that everyone has the ability to assist another to heal. In a Healing Touch class, you will learn how to do simple

techniques that are amazing to give, as well as receive. For more information about Healing Touch and classes, you can visit www.HealingBeyondBorders.org. A recently published book, Healing Touch, Enhancing Life through Energy Therapy goes into more depth explaining HT and the concepts of energy work. It is an excellent book and is available on the website. We each have the ability to either raise or lower the vibrational frequency of everyone else in the world. How do you feel when someone yells at you? How do you feel when someone gives you a genuine heart-felt smile? Does that feel better? What effect did Mother Theresa have on the world? It is important in our own lives to think about how we are affecting others. What kind of energy do we bring to our work environment? How are we with our families when we return from a stressful day at work? I encourage you to be aware of how you manage your own energy. Just by each of us being more mindful of how we manage our energy and trying to be a kinder and gentler presence, we can change the world!

YOU CAN PREVENT HEARTBURN Heartburn is a very prevalent problem in our society today for a number of reasons. Stress,poor diet and an unhealthy lifestyle are just a few factors that lead to this painful issue. Here are just a few simple tips to help avoid some of these symptoms.. 1. Take a Digestive Enzyme With Your Food. Ease the burden of digestion on your body by taking a digestive enzyme with every meal or large snack. 2. Don't Eat A Large Meal Late In The Day. Try to give yourself an hour or two after eating before laying down, particularly if it's a large meal. When You lay down to rest your entire body should be at rest, not working to digest food. 3. Avoid Carbonated Beverages. The acidity in carbonated beverages irritates the stomach. Try drinking tea or a healthier alternative instead. 4. Don't Overeat! Try eating smaller meals more frequently.

If heartburn becomes a continuous problem that alters your lifestyle and makes digesting meals a difficulty, you may have a digestive issue that needs to be addressed. Be aware that over the counter medications such as antacids, Nexium, Prilosec and Omeprazole all come with side effects that compromise your body's health in other areas. Call Karyn at Natural Digestive Health Center, 231-818-3234 to schedule a consultation today! Karyn Choate is a Certified Natural Health Practitioner as well as a Digestive Health Specialist, graduating from The Loomis School of Enzyme Nutrition, and is the owner of Natural Digestive Health Center. Please follow Natural Digestive Health Center on Facebook or visit: www.NaturalDigestiveHealthCenter.com .

5. Wear Loose Fitting Clothes. Make sure that your stomach has the room it needs to get this food going where it needs to go. Constricting clothing inhibits the digestion process particularly if you are in a sitting position.

The Secret to Successful New Years Resolutions If you are like many individuals, you’ve probably made some New Years resolutions. Perhaps you want to lose weight, stop smoking, start an exercise program, stop procrastinating, or eliminate some other unwanted habit. More than likely, this is not the first time you have done this. But think back over the previous years. Have your resolutions been successful? You may have done well for the first month or two, but sooner or later, your enthusiasm wanes, and you go back to the former behavior. In fact, a recent study appearing in the Journal of Clinical Psychology, reported that just 8 percent of Americans achieve their New Years resolutions. Why are so few people successful? Certainly your intentions were good and noble, and you actually planned to succeed. For some reason, however, the resolution does not last. The problem is that your conscious mind made the decision to change the behavior, but your subconscious mind was not in agreement with the change. Anytime there is a conflict between your conscious mind and your subconscious mind, the subconscious mind always wins. At first you were successful because your enthusiasm was high. But sooner or later your willpower falters and your subconscious mind takes over, returning you to the old patterns. You really wanted to change but your subconscious was not on board. To truly be successful in changing your behavior it is necessary to get both the conscious mind and the subconscious mind in agreement with each other. When both parts of your mind are working together you will be successful. The question then arises, “How can you get both the subconscious mind and the conscious mind in sync with each other so that you can be successful?” One way to achieve this is with the use of affirmations. There is a great story about a tennis pro who sought the help of a sports psychologist, because every time his game went into “tie breaker” (overtime), he would lose. The sports psychologist instructed him to say the affirmation “I love tie breakers” 25 times every day. The tennis pro was not happy with the advice but he did follow it. After approximately six weeks, he actually won a tie breaker. About a month after that, he won two tie breakers. He still wasn’t convinced that the affirmations were responsible for the victories. About two months after this, he again was in a tournament with another top player. The game was very close and he found himself thinking, “If I can just get

this game to tiebreaker I know I can win.” It was at this point that he realized that the affirmations really worked. What happened was that the message was finally accepted by his subconscious mind and the positive change occurred. This story demonstrates the power of affirmations. The problem is that most people would have great difficulty sticking to a program like this. It took the tennis player close to four months before he was able to turn the situation around. How many of you would be willing to say an affirmation 25 times every day for four months or even longer? The good news is that there is an even better way to achieve success--through the use of hypnosis. Hypnosis is both safe and effective. When one is in the hypnotic state, the subconscious mind is much more receptive to the new positive information. The hypnotist can give suggestions to lose weight, quit smoking, or change some other habit or behavior and the subconscious will accept the beneficial messages. With the use of hypnosis you are getting both the subconscious mind and the conscious mind in agreement and thus the desired change can now take place, and this can occur in a relatively short time. You do not have to wait four months as in the case of the tennis pro. Hypnosis is both quicker and less strenuous. Another extremely valuable aspect of hypnosis is that you can find out what is the original root cause of the habit or behavior you want to change. By finding out the cause, you can eliminate it and no longer have the need to indulge in the unhealthy habit or behavior. Until you get to the cause, it will be extremely difficult to make a permanent change. Do you really want to continue your unhealthy habits? You deserve to be happier and healthier.

Rocking Fertile Ground

frustrating. Instead, allow the natural love between you and your partner to flow, and rose quartz can help bring that to the surface. Aromatherapy can be helpful to create "the mood" and bring some passion to the bedroom. Try dragon’s blood oil, essence or a candle to help get the energy flowing.

Quick Tips that May Spark the Baby Maker Process There is, you may say, a widely spread myth that around this time of year more babies are produced than during your average summer. Why you might ask? Well, according to legend, the cold, chilly winters seem to produce sparks of love in our hearts and the urge to get warm. But what if you are having a hard time in the fertility department and are looking for something new to try? Below are some quick metaphysical ways that may help to spark the baby maker in you and get it rocking and rolling! One of the most widely known myths I have heard in recent years for producing pregnancy is the herb anise, or some just go straight for the black licorice. Let’s just say it helps everything stick and therefore gives you a better chance of conceiving. Have both you and your partner carry the stone Carnelian on you. Each day, place it in your pocket--make sure both of you carry the stone on you all day. At night when you go to sleep, place both stones together on a bedside table or dresser, then start the process all over again the next day until you conceive. Carnelian is said to have a strong passionate energy that may help promote conception.

· Lastly, colored candles can help promote fertility. Fertility candles can come in all shapes and sizes but I recommend for those who may have it lying around the house, the color red and/or candles with an apple scent. **Writer’s Note: These tips are based on holistic and metaphysical concepts, are not guaranteed to produce fertility or conception, and may or may not help. Please do not replace your medical care with these concepts. Always consult professional medical care first! By Courtney Overfield, Owner of Divine Temperance & Radio Show Host of Unveiling the Psychic Truth on Body Mind Spirit Radio.

with Courtney Overfield

Sometimes we have a hard time conceiving due to stress, so try chamomile or lavender tea to soothe the nerves, body and stomach.

Hormonal issues can sometimes be the biggest problem in conception. Try carrying a Rainbow Moonstone on you. It is better if worn, but you can carry a small stone in the pocket. Rainbow Moonstone is well known for being a highly feminine stone and can help both with fertility and stabilizing those hormones. Shiva Lingams are also a wonderful stone to carry on you to possibly produce fertility. They can be rare but they do promote both masculine and feminine energy and resemble most often an egg. One of my most popular recommendations for fertility is Rose Quartz, because often we forget that fertility and baby making should be done out of love. Don’t let it become a job or JAN 2015

I LOVE YOU You stand at the next opening of your becoming, resting in the yearning of your heart, and a new you is born. There is nothing to reach for, your good has already been given. There is nowhere to push. Yield and open to the you that has existed in the ages.

some good intellectual intercourse. We deny the simple: self-love. It’s too much work. It puts the responsibility for our happiness within our own hands. With 100% compassionate ownership over your feelings, you regain your power - the ability to respond. The next discovery or new information that you “must have” to set yourself free is intriguing. However,

Are you willing to feel how deeply loved you are? For just a few minutes, deny the distractions of daily happenings and circumstances, and be still in the eternity of the moment. Through your breath, return to the intimate kiss that a grounded presence brings. When you chase the complex, you create fancy structures to explain why your life is the way it is. Your current life, accepted as it is, will guide you to the insights you need. It is almost too simple. Everyone in your life, you’ve seen before. Family and ancestor healing shows up with the current actors on your stage. Love yourself and love others. Love opens doors shut firmly in your face. Love fiercely protects you from harm. You don’t have to wait until meeting a sage on a mountain top, or until uncovering past life complexities to begin powerful self-love. Sure, it is very interesting information. But a continued daily choice to love will align you with your grandest destiny. Breaking yourself into parts and analyzing each fragment will only lead to

it is within you already. Daily practice of self-love, forgiveness, loving others, and allowing people to love you is freedom. Empathy is standing in the pit while holding a vision of someone’s wholeness. The ability to be empathetic is founded on your own ability to witness your craziness without losing the vision. The vision or observer self is the you that is fully you. The you that contains the cosmos, yet also your petty thoughts. The vision or observer self is Love. Not the love that is the opposite of hate or mushy romantic love, but the Love that contains hate, joy, fear, and sadness.

Love that is omnipresent, omnipotent, and raises the condition or circumstance to the vibration of your awareness. Your observer self, or ability to hold vision, means feeling your feelings without a story, and watching your thoughts. This simple self-love can shift great darkness. Your self-love changes your life and others. Your willingness to love yourself in this moment, as you are, can be too scary. This kind of love requires you to shed beliefs about your life, and your opinions about others. Those opinions and beliefs are security blankets. Some would rather be told all the things that are wrong with them, be diagnosed, or given complex spiritual solutions than practice daily self-love. Even with all this, complexity is not wrong. We will turn over every rock before we will look within. In the Wizard of Oz, Dorothy needed the journey to realize the shoes were on her feet already. Intentional complexity has its place. On a few occasions I have intentionally used complexity in sessions to distract student’s minds long enough for self-love to “slip” in. Your beauty and magnificence is beyond words. Given permission, it fills the crevices of your mind, leaving no space for the committees of “not enough-ness” chattering in your brain. Rather than share an irritation or pain with another, share how beautiful, how amazing, how utterly precious they truly are. Character defects don’t ever go away. You just lose your identification

with them. Why spend so much time trying to “fix” them? When I cannot begin to describe how precious you are, why would I waste my time telling you what is wrong? What is right with you bellows loudly through my bones. The best is yet to come. Deny the distractions, for even a moment. Give your attention over to the incredible beauty within that can only be set free by you. I love you. People say they feel like I see through them. It is interesting how in loving our own crazy, we powerfully shift others into who Creation intended them to be. My sister and I went to a gathering where everyone practiced daily meditation and self-love. As people looked at us, we felt like they were looking through us, and in fact, they were. Through their own self-love, they were seeing beyond our mentally created stories about ourselves. Later that night we walked in a grocery store, noting how no one really “saw” us and sadly how this felt more “normal”. Don’t give up. Happiness takes daily inward work, and the more you practice being still, feeling, and observing, the more it becomes a way of being. We also can’t do it alone. We all need help. Receiving help is wise, not weak, because we are one. Love created you, and it is this omnipotent Love that you remain, independent of what you do or believe. You are precious, even when you forget you are. We all forget. Once you begin a daily practice of self-love, you will notice omnipotent Love filling every aspect of your life.

Choosing Natural Remedies for Colds and Flu 'Tis the season for getting the cold/ flu, especially after the holidays. There are billions of Americans affected by the flu every year. When you wake up sneezing, coughing, and have that achy, feverish, can't move a muscle feeling, how do you know whether you have a cold or the flu? Cold symptoms usually last for about a week and are usually mild. Flu symptoms are usually more severe than cold symptoms and come on quickly. Symptoms of the flu include a sore throat, fever, headache, muscle aches and soreness, congestion, and cough. The flu can also result in serious health problems such as pneumonia and hospitalization. It is very important to take notice if the symptoms are lingering or worsening; be sure to check with your health care provider. Homeopathy was used very successfully during the 1914 flu epidemic and helped to reduce the horrific death rate by flu during the start of the century. Homeopaths can greatly help one another during epidemics by sharing information on symptomatic patterns and remedies they have found effective. The concept of finding the “genus epidemics", the remedy used in such outbreaks, has the potential to save lives and reduce suffering. Flu is an epidemic illness that affects large numbers of the population around the same time and is highly contagious. Homeopathy remedies are very safe and effective without any drug interaction. They can be used for children, pregnant women and geriatric age groups. An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. The best protection is a healthy immune system. 1. Wash your hands often. Drink mostly water or warm soup.

Spiritual Life Coaching and Life Mentoring

2. Eat healthy vegetables and fruits; give up processed food like sugar and white flour. Start your day with fresh juice consisting of leafy greens, carrot, apple and ginger.

Mentoring sessions with Barbra focus on owning your power, finding your life purpose, and speaking your divine truth, and can include emotional balancing, intuitive guidance, energy healing, and somatic release.

4. Sleep like a baby; make sure you have a good amount of rest.

2. Flu with a sore throat remedy should be taken once you think you have the flu.

around midnight. Exposure to cold wind or a shock of some kind often precedes the illness.

3. Fever remedy.

Arsenicum album: The person feels chilly and exhausted. Exhibits an anxious restlessness. He/she may be thirsty, but often only takes small sips and may experience nausea with burning pain, or vomiting and acrid diarrhea. If the flu is respiratory, a watery, runny nose with sneezing paroxysms and a dry or wheezing cough is often seen. The person’s head usually feels hot, while the rest of the body is chilly.

4. Stomach flu remedy for diarrhea and vomiting. It is very important to come up with an acute remedy which matches the symptoms manifested by the body. If you want the best results, always consider the totality of the symptoms manifested, and keep in mind what makes one person better or worse. What is strange or peculiar in the individual is important according to the homeopathy perspective. The world’s best-loved homeopathy flu remedy is Oscillococcinum. It is made from the heart and liver of a Muscovy duck and follows the same principles of dilutions of homeopathy remedies; it is a micro dose of the original substance. It has a wonderful safety record with no drug interaction or side effects, as with most homeopathy remedies. It helps reduce severity and duration of flu-like symptoms such has headache, body ache, chills and fever. More great Flu Remedies The Law of Similar remains important, to match the symptom manifested by the individual with the remedy data base in homeopathy books.

Aconitum napellus: This remedy is useful for a flu that comes on suddenly and is intensely accompanied by fever, anxiety, constricted pupils, and strong thirst. The person may feel fearful or agitated, and the fever can alternate with chills. Symptoms are often worse

Belladonna: This remedy is indicated when there are sudden, intense symptoms including fever, red face, hot skin, and extreme sensitivity to light and jarring. Other symptoms include a very red sore throat, a pounding headache, a nagging cough, or other throbbing and inflammatory symptoms. The person’s hands and feet may feel cold despite high fever. Chills and heat may alternate. Bryonia: Bryonia is good if symptoms include a headache, cough, constipation, thirst, and irritability. Symptoms: This remedy is often prescribed when a person feels very hot and dry, is thirsty for cold drinks, and experiences aching. Eupatorium perforliatum: Eupatorium is helpful for severe aching deep in the bones that makes you feel sore all over and might be accompanied by a great thirst for cold drinks. Gelsemium: Take Gelsemium if you have heavy, droopy eyes, feel weak and tired with aches and chills up and down your back, and want to be alone. Symptoms: A hot head and face, but with chills that go up and down the back and a burning headache without any real sense of thirst, etc. These remedies can be found in health food stores and can be used in 12X or 30 C potency 3-4 times per day.

trained homeopath for assistance. The stomach flu is one that has both vomiting and diarrhea. Spasms of the stomach and intestine are the characteristics of the remedy NuxVomica. This remedy is particularly suited for the person who has these symptoms and has a nervous and excitable temperament. This is the person who is an ambitious type with a love of power and who can be angry and impatient. They love stimulants and good food and wine. This person may develop the stomach flu after overindulgences. Again, we might find the stomach flu prevalent after the holidays. Homeopathy has empowered us to seek out complementary remedies and to educate ourselves. It has given us back the right to honor our own inner wisdom. All you have to do is ask for help. Create a community of like-minded practitioners that you can work with. Each of us has been gifted with a particular talent that we express through our choice of professions. As a homeopath, I use various remedies based on principles of Classical Homeopathy. I also teach various homeopathy classes so you can incorporate homeopathy into everyday life and use it for your family. As an integrative practitioner, I call upon my network of professionals in cases that need other interventions such as acupuncture, Reiki, massage, yoga and meditation. As with any drug, ask a doctor before use if pregnant or nursing. Consult a physician if symptoms persist for more than 7 days or worsen. Monica Gurnani BHMS, CCH, RSHom(NA) is a practitioner of classical Homeopathy. She is known for her exceptional insight and non-judgmental presence in the healing process while providing compassionate, empathetic and free flowing support to the clients.

Honoring Diversity & Inclusion As we begin 2015, I am full of gratitude for the many ways that our world has taken huge leaps in the direction of love and connection and away from fear and separation. Over time, we’ve seen powerful social movements (i.e.civil rights, women’s rights, children’s rights, anti-bullying, etc.), which have helped open people’s minds and hearts to seeing all people with eyes of love, instead of acting from a place of prejudice based on race, gender, color, age, sex, etc. With deep appreciation for how far we’ve come as a global society, it’s also clear that we still have a ways to go in co-creating a world where the human rights of all people are honored and upheld. One area of prejudice that still creates a tremendous amount of suffering for millions of people is related to sexual orientation. Since heterosexuality is seen as the “normal” sexual orientation, this can marginalizes people who do not fit into these heterosexual norms. In addition to being marginalized, individuals who identify as LGBTQ are also considered by most organized religions to be engaging in “sin” when they express their sexuality. The false belief that people are sinning when they explore and express their sexuality in ways that do not fit many organized religion’s definition of acceptable (read: heterosexual) is based in fear. Because organized religion is such a powerful institution, these false beliefs often lead people who identify as LGBTQ to feel a tremendous amount of shame and guilt. Statistically, lesbian, gay, and bisexual youth are 4 times more likely to attempt suicide as their straight peers. This fact illustrates the devastating impact that these false beliefs (with their accompanying shame and guilt) have on individuals in the LBGTQ community. JAN 2015

new possibilities to arise in the ways we see ourselves and others.

It’s especially notable that some people justify these judgmental, fearbased beliefs by citing bible passages that condemn non-heterosexual behavior. Yet other bible passages that support slavery, or the stoning of women who have sex before marriage, or the execution of people who work on Sundays are considered to be outdated and are now dismissed. What’s the difference between these passages on slavery and murder and those that condemn non-heterosexual behavior? Arbitrarily choosing bible passages to support prejudice and hatred is manipulative and perpetuates the shame and guilt inducing belief that nonheterosexual behavior is a “sin”. Since the only antidote for hatred is love, it’s important to understand that people who hold on tight to these false beliefs about sexuality are often motivated by fear and their own selfjudgment. Many people are afraid to form a belief that is not aligned with their religion’s teachings, so they maintain the status quo. Others project their own self-judgment onto others because it can seem less painful to direct these feelings outward instead of inward. All people want and deserve to feel included, accepted, and loved. If you or someone you know has judgments about people who identify as LGBTQ, it can be helpful to shine some compassion on the part of you (or them) who feels the need to make others wrong for the way they experience and express their sexuality. Because it’s from our own pain and judgment that we condemn others, looking at this part of our self with compassion may create some space for

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

Sexuality is meant to be a part of this life experience that is positive, playful, liberating, and a source of connection. Regardless of one’s sexual orientation, any act shared with kindness and love is sacred and life giving. Keeping this truth in mind, we can let go of antiquated and arbitrarily chosen biblical passages that promote separation, fear, and judgment about non-heterosexual behavior. Considering the fact that samesex marriage is now legal in 35 states, we can see how far we’ve come as a society in reducing prejudice and honoring diversity. As each year passes, it’s inspiring to continually see positive changes in the realm of human rights. Let’s celebrate the transformation that has already happened and also open our hearts and minds to the ways each of us can continue taking steps forward on the journey from exclusion to inclusion, from separation to connection, from fear to love.

Spiritual Horoscopes Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) — Happy birthday Capricorn! Saturn is in Sagittarius, purifying your subconscious of limiting beliefs that hold you back in puzzling ways. Meditation and dreams reveal forgotten issues, or even past life events to be forgiven and released. Don’t allow shortcomings to bring you down. It’s a gift to be evolved enough to see what needs to be healed! You might get financial gifts, or have money come in easy ways! Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) — Mercury is retrograde in your sign, but that’s a good thing! Meditate and release parts of your ego. You’ll make leaps in spiritual growth by late February. The less attached you are to your identity, the more flexible and peaceful you’ll become -- while still being successful and confident. Intuitive ideas can increase finances. Begin tithing, or put mystical money methods into practice. Also, seek friends committed to their spiritual path to further inspire you. Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20) — Mars, the planet of empowerment and confidence, moves into your sign! You’ll defeat inner demons that have troubled you and you’ll feel spiritually triumphant! Others notice your shift of consciousness and give you more respect and responsibility (maybe a major promotion at work!) You’ll also truly respect yourself. Relationships are more intimate and fulfilling. Pay attention to dreams for new goals to embark upon. Aries (March 21 – April 19) —You’re a warrior! But as powerful Mars plows through your subconscious these next two months, and Saturn enters Sagittarius (the sign of

spiritual seeking), use your courage to defeat inner dragons. Meditate and list your deepest fears, and also old resentments. They’re areas of unconscious energy waste! Also examine spiritual paths and make a commitment. Focus in one direction and become a master of what you’ve chosen! Taurus (April 20 – May 20) — Saturn begins a 2 1/2 year mission to release old issues about intimacy and sexuality. Start the New Year right by listing disappointing memories you want healed. It’s time to re-write your karmic script about feeling treasured and appreciated -- and also worthy of pleasure and bliss! Seek out info on spiritual sexuality. Also read about prosperity and abundance. You deserve divine blessings, so convince your subconscious to let it all in!

forever! Do gentle exercises, like stretching or Yin yoga. Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22) — Don’t let misunderstandings or mis-evaluations cause problems in relationships. Mercury is retrograde, so instead of blurting your feelings, meditate and see if old memories that need releasing are being triggered. Once you let go of your “old glasses”, you’ll see things clearly and a deeper bond emerges. If single, you can meet an entirely new sort of person who fulfills your dreams! Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22) — You can be starting a new relationship or have revamped energy in your current one! But make sure you aren’t losing yourself in others. Focus on self-care. Please eat well; get enough rest; practice stress reduction like deep breathing and yoga. When you put yourself first, everyone benefits since you’ll radiate spiritual vibes that bless and uplift everyone!

Gemini (May 21 – June 20) — Relationships need to go to a higher level. You’re craving spiritual partnership. Meditate to see what steps to take to intensify your current connection, or if single, where to seek out one of many who want what you want in love! Stay committed to your plan so you can manifest your vision! At work you can start a new project that is exciting and inspiring!

Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22) — List your positive attributes and create affirmations for yourself. Ask a trusted friend to help. Focus on positive beauty statements and body image concepts. Removing critical thoughts about your appearance improves relationships by a mile! Spiritual beauty will pour through your body and aura. It’s been there, you’re just letting it out! You’ll even have financial windfalls as you surrender to loving ideas!

Cancer (June 21 – July 22) — Emotional and physical health stems from your thoughts. With Mercury retrograde, meditate and observe your thinking to see if your ideas build you up or tear you down. Get enthusiastic about the power of affirmations to create the life you want. Also ponder the importance of denials — the ability to say “NO!” to negative beliefs and remove them from your consciousness

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) — Meditate on self-worth and finances. Are you subconsciously punishing yourself? Spend time reading spiritual prosperity books and forgiving yourself of whatever “sins” you torment yourself over! You are likely harboring your parents’ negative money beliefs. Clear out your “energy body” so you can nurture your OWN financial karma, and no longer carry theirs! If you have

pets, they’ll be amazingly comforting in this healing process. Your new energy can attract an exciting relationship, or refresh a current one! Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) — Saturn, the planet of discipline and simplicity, is in your sign for 2 1/2 years. It’s once every 30 years, and a great chance to weed out what doesn’t serve you -- and nurture what empowers you! You could feel tired or introspective, and not your bouncy self. Allow this shift to evaluate priorities and begin releasing goals, thought patterns, items or even relationships that limit you. Dedicate yourself to a spiritual practice to be able to touch the depths it offers you. ALUNA Aluna Michaels is a secondgeneration astrologer and soul evolutionist practitioner.

Heal Your Wounds, Achieve Your Goals Each year we make new goals, really feel committed, and they often turn out to be the same goals, perhaps worded differently, as last years. These goals are based on unhealed wounds and patterns of being which are as yet unrecognized. Start recognizing your wounds by being mindful of when you feel defensive or have defensive thoughts. You can start recognizing your wounds by seeing what and whom you are attracting to yourself. When wounds come up, we feel and act defensively. That leaves us defending exactly where we have been, not allowing for growth and change. As the Law of Attraction states, we attract that to which we vibrate and are similar to our innermost thoughts and beliefs. If you defend your old way of being, that’s where you stay, and attract more of that. So, if you can be aware of those defensive feelings as a signal of a wound, you can heal and change your life. You can also take situations that you are negative about and heal them. So, if your goal is to get a new job because you are unhappy at work, (especially if this is a common situation), like feeling others are judging you, are you a) judging others? and/or b) judging yourself? Really feel about that, not just think about it. Feeling comes from deep down, it’s when you get out of your head. Acknowledge the feeling inside that is connected with judgment, embrace it and breath into it so that you can really feel it. Notice how old you feel; chances are you are feeling young. That’s a signal that this feeling is from a childhood wound. As this wound is unfelt, unhealed and unresolved, it continues to be part of your foundation of being and so, in this case, attracts that job to you so you can work it out. This job is actually a holy encounter, part of a divine plan for your highest good. Something to keep in mind is that EVERYTHING YOU EXPERIENCE IS FOR YOUR HIGHEST GOOD. That being said, in this case, acknowledging your judgments, starting with your feelings, gives you the opportunity to grow towards fulfilling your highest potential. In this case, you can do this by starting to notice how you judge yourself. Do you call yourself stupid? Keep telling yourself how unhappy you are? Judge how you can be “stuck at this job? Let’s say you are lonely, and last year you had the goal of dating that never really materialized. Take what is above. Feel inside the loneliness. Really allow yourself to embrace it deeply. Notice how young you feel. Notice how you tend to abandon yourself. There’s many ways to abandon yourself, you just have to feel and notice them. Such as, do you eat healthy? Do you look in the mirror and notice what you like about yourself? Keep to a budget? Just feel how you feel when you are lonely... and the other times you feel the same way... those are most likely times when you are abandoning yourself. Be your own best date and you’ll be so attractive, others will flock around you, wanting to be in your energy. Law of Attraction: You will attract experiences that are in vibration with you. ►continues to the next page...

This technique will work towards obtaining your goals in any situation: love life, work, finances, relationships, any situation you find yourself in. So will the next technique, looking at your thoughts. Again, what you think about in your innermost thoughts attracts that experience to you. This means your TRUE INNERMOST THOUGHTS, not the affirmations you want to think. Affirmations can be of use, yet it’s slower, working from the outside in, saying it until you make it. A faster and deeper way is to notice your true thoughts and be mindful to document them in your journal. As you start documenting them in your journal, your subconscious mind will help you, letting more come out. You can then reframe your negative thoughts into positive ones. Let’s say you find that you say to yourself, “I’m never good enough.” That’s a fairly common thought many of my clients have. You can then choose to reframe that with, “I’m good just as I am” or “It doesn’t have to be perfect.” Even “I am divine and perfect just as I am.” And yes, most people who have the limited belief that they and nothing they do is ever good enough are... you guessed it... perfectionists as a defense to childhood wounds. The true issue in this case is the need to be perfect. Then, anytime you find yourself saying to yourself “I’m never good enough” you can replace it with “I am divine and good just as I am.” Or, “I did my best and my best is good enough.” Whatever you choose, the more you say it, as it is closely related to what you actually tell yourself, the slight changes will be more accepted and reprogrammed into your subconscious and consciousness faster and faster, more and more easily. Taking the first goal, a new job, if you find yourself saying to yourself, “I’ll never be happy here” you can reframe that to, “I can choose to be happy right where I am.” You can even go further and say to yourself, “I am right where I am meant to be. What can I work on now?” Chances are, when you find yourself liking where you work, liking yourself, you will be offered great jobs you weren’t even looking for. As you begin working through your feelings and healing your childhood wounds, transforming your negative thoughts into ones of a higher vibration, you will attract those experiences that will allow you to achieve your goals, or the goals that are most helpful for you in your growth.

JAN 2015

What is my purpose? A homeless man reached out to me two weeks before Christmas 2014 for a reading. He is currently living in his car as a result of a series of tragic events that seemed to have plagued him over the past six years. He felt abandoned and could see no hope for his future, and saw no reason to continue with this life path. Jake, (not his real name) has a minimum wage job that he has had for many years, only getting raises when his employer was forced through government legislation to raise the minimum wage. He kept a modest roof over his head and paid his bills, until he was overtaken by accidents and health issues that never seemed to end. Jake found he could not keep up with his bills and was thrown out of his home over a year ago. As he explained to me, the only good thing was that he wasn’t married and didn’t have children, who may have had to experience this plight with him. As we all know, many families have been left homeless due to the economy or life circumstances, such as Jakes. I personally have witnessed an increase of people begging on the streets of my middle class suburban neighborhood. Never before have I seen so many people with signs asking for help, food or simply a job. Every day I saw a man who stood at a busy intersection wearing a suit, simply asking for a job. I have not seen him out there for a few months now, so I pray that he found his job. Jake did however have faith in God and listened to his spirit guides, but when he fell into depression and felt hopeless he no longer kept the divine bridge open and felt he could no longer connect to his guides. Jake picked up a Body Mind Spirit Guide one day; he enjoyed JAN 2015

reading the inspiring articles and decided he would listen to the radio shows that were listed on the back of the magazine. He started to listen to all the radio shows by dialing-in using his phone (because he was working he did have money to have a phone). By the way, he had never begged for money, he just kept hoping things would get better. He later said that he found my radio show to be a beacon of light. Jake would listen to my shows over and over again using the library computers. But, he was truly seeing no hope and felt that he could check out of life, that maybe the next life would be better. Actually, I was faced with this very issue from another friend of mine who came to my home one day asking me all about reincarnation. I should have opened up my psychic door, then I would have discovered his real reason for asking me, but hoping he was just seeking knowledge I shared my understanding of reincarnation. I later learned that the IRS was threatening to send him to jail and his wife was divorcing him. Sadly, he committed suicide two weeks later, leaving his wife and six children with a mess to face without him. I don’t keep my psyche open all the time. I have trained myself through meditation to open up my psychic door to the universe, but it is very important to close it after a reading; otherwise, one is open for psychic attack and health problems. The famous Edgar Cayce warned of this as well, and told his family that it could take his life prematurely if he didn’t limit the time spent with his psyche open. Jake called me to book a reading; he said that he had a very important question to ask me. Many of you know listening to my show that I don’t ask questions, I just let God and the highest

spiritual beings come through me to put a light on your life path so I can view your destiny. As I was doing my reading on Jake, I could see that he was going to take his life, and that he reached out to me in hopes that I could see any purpose for his being alive; he stated that he had no friends, family, wife, children, or reason in his mind to exist. So, I asked him a question, “Have you ever seen, It’s A Wonderful Life?” “Of course” he responded, but still did not understand because at least George Bailey had family and friends. Then I asked him, “Have you ever read, Conversations with God by Neale Donald Walsch?” Jake responded that he had but again what did that have to do with him. I answered by telling him that it had everything to do with him and for that matter everyone on the planet. Life is full of miracles, most of them are small, but still significant. You see, being on Earth is an experience designed to evolve our souls. When we face great adversity we often experience our souls greatest growing spurts. I told Jake that he may smile at one person today, and that will be all that that person needed to believe in themselves, or could lift a heavy burden from their day. If he wasn’t there to smile at that person, they may have been in a bad mood and could tell off their boss and lose their job, or have an argument with their spouse which could have created martial unrest. Maybe Jake would talk with someone on the street about how he was surviving even while being homeless, which in turn, that person might want to help homeless people by donating money or time to the cause which would help many others. As you get the drift that every action, no matter how small, affects the soul. Your physical body will release the soul when your purpose has been completed. By interfering with your life path by trying to push the reset button, the cause P a g e 45

and after effects could change hundreds of events. Your purpose can be simply performing a kind gesture to someone in need or even by letting someone help you which may allow them to complete a purpose in their souls growth. Purpose does not have to be a major event, it may be little things like making enough money in your job that you can over-tip a server-- helping them pay their bills and keeping food on their table, giving to charity, or being a volunteer. Take joy in giving and you will receive ten fold. Jake is doing well now; he is working on getting into housing and feels more valuable and joyful in his life. This may have seemed like a sad or dark article, but please note that everyone has to face darkness and strife in life at sometime or another. But remember, you are a child of light and you would not be on Earth without even the smallest purpose, and the reward is that your soul continues to evolve to a brighter light. With Love & Light,

Food of Month: Crumpets Being of English ancestry, I love everything English. Recently, I created a recipe for Crumpets. Ever since then, I cannot stop eating them. Most people probably have heard of them but have never tasted one. They are little, round, bread muffins, similar to English Muffins. They are light, airy, spongy and full of holes. Whether eating them hot off the griddle or toasted, they are amazing. Thought to be an Anglo Saxon invention, there is mention of them in a Bible translation from 1382. The original ones were hard pancakes cooked on a griddle. The soft, spongy ones we eat originated in the Victorian Era, when they added yeast. In the English Midlands and London they developed the characteristic holes by added extra baking powder. They are generally 8 inches round -- I made mine smaller. You will also need Crumpet rings, or some other round cooking ring to make them.

Crumpets

1 tsp. yeast 1/2 cup water 3/4 cup rice milk 1 3/4 cup whole wheat pastry flour 1 tsp. baking powder 1/2 tsp. sea salt Heat the 1/2 cup water to 110 degrees. Mix in the 1 tsp. yeast and let sit for 5 minutes. In a bowl, mix together the flour, baking powder and sea salt. Add the rice milk and yeast mixture. Whisk together until all lumps are gone. Cover the bowl and place in a warm place for 1 to 1 1/2 hours. This allows the batter to rise and create the air bubbles. Heat your griddle and crumpet rings. Pour a small amount of batter -- not too much because they puff up when cooking -- into each ring. Cook until the top is almost dry. Flip over and brown on the other side. Enjoy them hot off the griddle with a little olive oil, margarine or jam. You can undercook some to be toasted later. They store great in the fridge or you can freeze some to have on hand all the time. Valerie Wilson is a chef, author, counselor, and host of “Healthy Cooking with Macro Val” on BMSRadio.
