A great place to find humor, inspiration, information, local events, products, and professionals that will assist you in enjoying a Healthy Body, an Enlightened Mind and Renewed Spirit.

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) Our Beliefs...

We believe all people are One! And that this great truth lies deep within each person’s heart!

We dedicate the Guide to the One Mother and the One Father and their children (you and I)!

Though we speak many languages from differing nations, professions, religions, and realms, as we start to sing the language of LOVE we begin to become aware that we are all singing the same song!

This publication seeks to create Harmony to that One Song, the BEAUTIFUL Song of life!

What Do You Love?

Weight vs. Will There is no such thing as willpower, there is only love. Willpower is fleeting and not sustainable. For example, if you want to lose weight, willpower will only take you so far. This is why diets eventually fail. If you say you want to lose weight but you love cookies, then you don’t want to lose weight, you want cookies. There is nothing wrong with liking cookies, but if you want to lose weight, you have to love losing weight more than cookies. Or, to put it another way, your desire to change has to be greater than your desire to stay the same. The driving force is love.

Every decision you make has consequences – either good or bad. You might not see it today, tomorrow, in a year, or even ten years, but eventually your decisions will be reflected.

People are often shocked when they are told they have a life threatening disease when more often than not their own choices triggered the problem. Regardless of genetics, the decisions you make concerning your health make a difference.

Everything you eat either feeds a disease or prevents it – and

over time it adds up. This isn’t to say that you can never enjoy food, but what you do most of the time will have an impact. Decide today what you love and your decisions will follow.

My clients often complain when I show them the cost of healthy living. But if your health is a priority, then it is priceless. It doesn’t matter how rich you are, if you don’t have your health you have nothing. There is always a way to make room for the things that are important in life. If you value your health, then go out to eat less, stop going to the bar, and replace those expenses with a gym membership, fresh food, and quality supplements. If something is important you will find a way, and if it isn’t you will find an excuse.

Today, think about what you love. Ask yourself if your decisions reflect that. Stay encouraged, practice moderation, and love yourself and each other.

MARCH 2015

Stop Taking Anti-oxidants and Make Your Own Did you know your body has the ability to produce more anti-oxidants than you can consume on a daily basis?

Are you aware that oxidative stress (caused by free radical damage) is the pre-cursor to 200 or more diseases?

What if you were able to fight free radicals at the rate of 1,000,000 per second, every second? Well, you can!

Our bodies have an incredible capability to produce more anti-oxidants to fight off oxidative stress when the right genes are activated.

Let us first explore what an anti-oxidant and free radical is. Have you ever cut open an apple and left it on the counter to see it eventually turn brown? How about when a banana goes from green, to yellow and then dark brown? This is oxidative stress and aging. The free radicals in the air are attacking and oxidizing the apple or the banana. A free radical is simply a molecule that is missing an electron, making it un-balanced. In order to try and become balanced, the free radical tries to steal an electron from your good healthy cells. Once stolen, the healthy cell becomes damaged or oxidized and turns into a new free-radical, causing a chain reaction in the body.

Anti-oxidants happen to be the molecule that heals free radicals. Anti-oxidants carry an extra electron which works by searching for opportunities to donate to free radical molecules who are in need. Once the free radical receives the extra electron, balance is restored, and it no longer tries to damage our healthy cells.

Our body has incredible powers of healing and fighting disease and sickness. As long as the body is not overrun with free radicals, we have the ability to fight off oxidative damage MARCH 2015

with the activation of the Nrf2 pathway.

The Nrf2 is a master regulator, or a messenger, of the body's anti-oxidant response as well as other survival genes. As we age, some of our cell's survival tactics lose strength, and become less productive than when we were children. The Nrf2 becomes dormant and the body can no longer fight the oxidative stress as when we were younger.

So, consider the following to fighting oxidative stress and the aging of our bodies: 1. Consuming the proper amount of raw fruits and vegetables (10 servings or more) on a daily basis 2. Consider making and not taking anti-oxidants by activating your Nrf2 pathway. Studies in peer reviewed published reports show that the supplement “P5X” will decrease your body’s oxidative stress by an average of 40% in 30 days or less.

3. Exercise on a regular basis to increase the body's anti-oxidant systems 4. Avoid “Mega” doses of anti-oxidant supplements

So how do we manage this stress in our body? One method is with the proper foods. Good anti-oxidant nutrition from brightly colored fruits and vegetables is very helpful. Red, orange, green and purple fruits and vegetables in raw form carry high levels of anti-oxidants. Try to get a few servings of a wide variety every day. Other methods are vitamin supplements such as Vitamin C and E, however, it’s important that we carefully manage the dosage. Recent research shows that vitamin supplements in high doses can actually cause additional oxidative stress as well as other health related problems.

St. Jude’s Novena

Are you looking to make more of your own anti-oxidants? Good news! We have new ways to activate our Nrf2 pathway and increase the production of our own anti-oxidants. Many pharmaceutical companies are working to develop drugs, yet research shows that our plant-based herbs can activate the anti-oxidant response even better.

The combination of specific herbs in a patented blend, “P5X”, has the ability to increase our Nrf2 response 18X greater than any of these same herbs on their own.

Publication must be promised.

MARCH 2015

The three nicest words in the world - I love you. Whenever you need healing for body, emotion, mind or spirit, say them to yourself for powerful results!

Loving yourself is the foundation for wholeness, health and great relationships. I don’t mean this in a narcissistic way, but in a true spiritual sense. In my experience we only really love ourselves when we are connected with our own higher self and eternal true spirit. Self-love flows from there, as an unconditional stream of true consciousness. Unconditional love goes deep; it travels straight through all our judgment or fear of unworthiness. This is eternal love that flows from our higher self, embraces and awakens our inner core of truth and sees us, untainted by any negativity.

Within you is a unique facet of God – by whatever name you call that root of all life - it is the eternal truth that created this body and life. Human consciousness, bodies and souls are created as vehicles for that innate intelligence and truth.

Disease, difficulties in life, loneliness -- these are all messages to seek this presence within you. People often seek God from outside of their own self, through religions, relationships or nature.

These are all good beginnings, but once you find your own facet of God within, you begin to evolve spiritually in a much more comprehensive way. There, you find a place to trust and a foundation on which to grow which is unique and perfect for you.

MARCH 2015

From this place of inner truth, you can heal your life with love. You can speak from your true loving heart to the places in your body or soul where you experience pain, sadness, loneliness or lack of any kind. Say, I love you to these places within you which don’t yet know your true self; not from your head alone, but from your deep feeling connection with God within your heart. When you do this, you open the door for your own facet of God to wake up within that part of body and soul. This initiates healing, maturing and spiritual growth in aspects of yourself that have been stuck and unable to change before.

This kind of inner self-love creates a strong foundation for loving and serving others. The more you love yourself, the more fully you can love others. When loving another person, you should always love yourself just a little bit more.

This allows your wellspring of love to flow from your abundance, rather than from your lack, so that what you are giving you truly have to give, rather than draining yourself. It also makes you feel safe to love others when you love yourself a little bit more. You know that while you prefer to have the loved one in your life, you will be okay if they are not there for some reason.

Build a relationship between your eternal spirit, mind, emotions and body by becoming your own best friend and self-advocate, your greatest love. Where you have experienced a lack of love from outside sources, give it to yourself. In your feelings and imagination, return to your childhood or times when you needed more love, courage, nurturing or strength. Allow your inner core of truth to pour love through your heart and mind to these places in your soul where you are still hurting, whether from many years ago or from a more recent event.

Speak to yourself with the wisdom and courage you have gained since that time, let yourself know you will get through this and come to a better place. When you feel afraid or self-judgmental, speak kindly and encourage yourself as you would someone you love, trust and value.

You will be surprised how this helps you feel strong, confident and to behave in loving ways instead of becoming angry, defensive, or running away.

When you love yourself and your life, you attract love from others. When you don’t love yourself and your life it may be a barrier to receiving love from without.

Love for yourself is the foundation for all good things you need to come to you.

For your body, simply tell the places that hurt that you love them, from your heart, as though your heart and voice were right there within the place that hurts. You may be amazed how this opens the door for healing of your body and the emotional and mental traumas that you are holding, which caused weakness to occur and disease to happen. 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

Self-love is built on your relationship with your own true and eternal facet of God within. We could call that your Higher Self, or your Inner Wisdom, your Essence of Truth. All these terms are accurate. A seed of God is present within each created being. It exists within each cell of your body, within each element of your soul. The love we are talking about is unconditional love, it is not dependent on you being perfect or even good, it is simply an eternal fact which flows from the heart of God and exists within each spark of God throughout all of creation. You are worthy of love. Practice receiving it and giving it to yourself so that you can, in turn, experience wholeness, health, success and love in your life and relationships with others.

* 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?

Structural Integration (Rolfing") can:

* Improve your posture dramatically * Assist in breathing easier and deeper * Improve your game (yoga, golf, etc.) * Make being in your body joyous and uplifting

Robert Auerbach, Certified Advance Rolf Practitioner – Family Constellations workshop facilitator

"I send my patients with soft tissue pain to Robert for Rolf Structural Integration" Sharon Oliver, M.D

Ida Rolf’s Vision an Fascia (part one) If you know someone who has experienced the cutting-edge bodywork known as, Structural Integration (AKA Rolfing), you probably noticed how their posture changed dramatically. Maybe their head that had been hanging out, way forward of the rest of their body, was now sitting on top of their shoulders, or rounded shoulders have come back, or how they looked taller and seemed to walk with a lot less effort. Of course, they would have told you how many of their old aches and pains had disappeared and how they now had greater flexibility. They would also have said how they had more support from the ground up and a feeling of effortless lift. To understand how Structural Integration bodywork can achieve such dramatic and long lasting results, it would be useful to know some things about the originator, Dr. Ida P. Rolf.

Ida Rolf graduated from Columbia University in 1920 with a Ph.D. in biochemistry, and her Ph.D thesis dealt with the biochemistry of the connective tissue (fascia) of the human body. She went on to become a researcher at the Rockefeller Institute for Biological Research, and then in 1926 she took leave of her job and traveled to Zurich where she studied atomic physics and homeopathy. She also had a deep interest in yoga and metaphysics, including the esoteric work of Gurdieff.

Some of Ida Rolf’s friends and family members, including one of her sons, were suffering from muscular-skeletal

problems that were not being resolved by the modalities that were available.

Drawing on both her scientific background and her metaphysical understanding and a good measure of inspiration, she began to lay her hands on people in a way no one had done before and addressing an aspect of human anatomy that was rarely touched--the body’s connective tissue or fascia, Fascia is the beige or silverfish membrane you find when cutting open raw meat and it wraps around every muscle and muscle group and attaches to the surface of our bones.

Ida Rolf was probably the first researcher to realize how changeable fascia is in response to stresses and demands placed on it: these can include injuries, compensations for injuries, surgery, repetitive patterns from work or working out and survival postures we adopt as kids. Dr. Rolf referred to this quality of fascia as “plasticity”. As fascia responds to these stimuli it tends to lose water content and shorten, which forces the muscles to have a shorter resting length. In the end, our bodies respond by becoming compressed in certain areas, as well as twisted and torqued and gravity gets a “free pass” to tear us down even further.

Fortunately for us, knowing about the “plasticity” of fascia led Ida Rolf to believe that fascia, if receiving the appropriate positive input, could be returned to its ideal state. At first she worked “experimentally” on friends and family members, applying handson pressure to shortened fascial sheets and asking for feedback from her “clients”. She noticed that the folks she was working on were not only “losing” their pain and discomfort but were “losing” their structural and

postural distortions.

As her worked evolved, she found herself balancing the front with the back, taking out rotational patterns and most importantly, balancing the surface layers with the deep, or as she put it, “the core and sleeve” and organizing the whole body around a vertical energetic line. She was witnessing the birth of a radically new approach to the structural experience of human beings interacting with the gravitational field of mother earth.

In part two of this three part series, we will look at Ida Rolf’s early days teaching others to become Rolf practitioners and what a Structurally Integrated body has in common with a geodesic dome.

How I Beat the Fear of Public Speaking (and how you can, too) I used to be terrified of public speaking. I avoided participating in many things because they involved public speaking.

Examples included: •

Serving as the parent rep for my daughter’s preschool class (I would’ve loved it but bowed out when I found out I had to speak at Parent’s Night)

•

Applying for jobs at top companies (I dreamed about it but was too scared)

•

Serving on the Parent Committee for my daughter’s elementary school I pretended it wasn’t that bad.

After all, what was the big deal?

I didn’t really need to be a parent rep anyway. Plus, most people fear public speaking, so it wasn’t like it was just me. I mean, hadn’t I just read a statistic citing public speaking is the number one fear for 75% of adults? But still … it bugged me.

by Robert Auerbach In addition to his Rolf Training, Robert has been trained in Comprehensive Energy Psychology (including EFT and TAT). He has developed the Higher Self Repatterning Process for clearing out old emotional and karmic patterns quickly.

MARCH 2015

I didn’t like things controlling me.

Especially my perception of what other people may think. And that was it in a nutshell. I had allowed the fear of what other people may think control me.

For as long as I could remember, I ran from the spotlight. I don’t know when it started – sometime around the age of 5 or 6 – but I hated being the center of attention. I blushed horribly. I stammered and stuttered. My heart would beat so wildly that it often felt like it would leap out of my chest. And my mouth? It felt like a cotton factory.

On my wedding day, I couldn’t even enjoy myself because I had to say my vows in front of 250 people. The same 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

was true for my wedding and baby showers. It was a terrible way to live.

So at 34 years old, I made a bold choice. I decided enough was enough, and that it was time to face the fear. It was one of the scariest – and smartest, most empowering, and liberating things I ever did. I got up the courage to join Toastmasters, a public speaking organization. It is one of the best groups I’ve ever participated in and one of the best decisions I’ve ever made.

Earlier this year, I won my third Best Speaker award! I can now easily speak in front of 50 people or more. And I absolutely love it.

How did I beat the fear of public speaking? It started with the decision to stop allowing the fear to run my life.

Affirmations, visualization, and taking action followed. I’ve used this formula over and over in my life with incredible success.

Are you avoiding something in your life out of fear? What is it? What can you do starting today to take your power back?

URGENT: Acid Reflux, Heartburn?

There is asystem!

Natural Solution! your immune What’s the Real Secret How to boost to Avoiding the Flu?

Stress in it’s various forms can seriously tax our immune system. There are three different types of stress that our body may encounter.

There is of course emotional stress, which is inevitable at some time or another in our lives. Mechanical stress is another form, which is a direct trauma to the body such as an accident or surgical procedure for example. Those are two things in our life that we don’t always have much control over. The third type of stress however, comes from what we put into our bodies in the way of food, and we do have control over that when it concerns our everyday diet.

Did you know that catching a cold or the flu can depend on what you eat?

A poor diet leads to a compromised immune system. How is this connected?

Our body has a store of enzymes, each with their own specific task. When we eat a poor diet such as fast food, processed foods or large amounts of sugar, we are putting a serious burden on our digestive system and our reserve of digestive enzymes. When we deplete our store of digestive enzymes, guess where the body gets the surplus?

The IMMUNE SYSTEM! In fact, 80%– 90% of the immune system lives in the gut. A strong immune system can effectively resist most disease.

Trying to Catch a Leprechaun?

Would health be your first wish if you caught a Leprechaun? According to Irish folklore, Leprechauns have the power to grant three magical wishes in exchange for their release. I work to help people achieve health goals instead of relying on fantasies, but sometimes I think that catching Leprechauns would be easier than helping solve some their many healthrelated problems!

When asked how I treat diseases, people are surprised to hear that actually I don’t treat them. I explain that I consider their history – their diets and their activities – and look for interferences in their nervous systems to see how these problems may have begun. Next, I help them understand how they can start making changes to start reversing the disease process.

Conditions such as high blood pressure, diabetes, obesity, loss of feeling in the extremities, high cholesterol, high triglycerides, stroke, and heart attacks can all be addressed through nutrition and lifestyle. Sometimes it takes a hospital visit to remind people how important it is to start making healthy changes. Just recently I received a call from an MD regarding one of my patients. I see this patient about four times a year and was surprised to hear that his blood pressure was in the range of 200+/100+. Following HIPAA compliance procedures before discussing his case provided me an opportunity to ask my patient whether he had been following the nutritional protocol I had recommended – which should have been helping in preventing hypertension. My patient admitted that he had stopped following his

protocol several months ago and was still smoking. My first impulse was to chastise him, but then I realized that just being in the hospital was punishment enough. On a more serious note, I took a moment to think about how difficult it is to keep healthy resolutions – especially considering the world we live in.

Just think about what we are faced with when it comes to so many of the popular holiday traditions--St. Paddies Day for example. Have you noticed the bellies on Leprechauns? Do you think they are from drinking wheat-based green beer? And what did you do on Fat Tuesday? Many people are seduced by a special food to be eaten before Lent.

Called the paczki, it is a 600-800 calorie donut-like delight that appears to have what it takes to keep hunger away until Easter.

Whether it takes a hospital visit or some other health crisis, what matters is that you find the incentive to start getting serious about your health. The sooner the better - and the best way is to only eat “real” food, which includes fresh, unprocessed, non-GMO, and organic food. To help you navigate the food aisles and determine which items you should purchase organic, which foods are cleaner, and which to avoid because of pesticides and chemicals, check out Environmental Working Group (www. ewg.org) for a list of the Dirty Dozen and the Clean Fifteen.

For most people, health improves when they reduce the amount of carbohydrates in their diet, especially when those carbohydrates come from wheat based grains containing gluten and gliadin. Grains turn into sugars and excess sugars will kill you in a slow and painful way. Good books that address these issues include the Wheat Belly books by William Davis, MD and Life

Without Bread by Christian B. Allan, PhD and Wolfgang Lutz, MD. Now don’t get fooled by all the hype for gluten free foods. In place of the wheat, many of these foods substitute corn, rice, and other high sugar ingredients.

A healthy diet consists mostly of colorful vegetables, quality protein, and some fruit. Berries are the most nutritious of the fruits and are anti-inflammatory which is very, very important. Remember to steam or parboil your cruciferous vegetables, such as cauliflower, Brussels sprouts, broccoli, and kale to break down the goitrogenic compounds that interfere with thyroid function. Be sure to include a high quality source of omega-3 oils, and consider blending your fruits and veggies to make them more accessible to your digestive system. And while you’re at it, you may want to add a few nutritional supplements to your blended drink.

Many health issues respond to the addition of Magnesium Lactate, B complex vitamins (real ones, not derived from coal tar), Vitamin D3, Alpha Lipoic Acid, real Vitamin C, and Vitamin E. I also recommend the spices curcumin, quercetin, and turmeric, along with raw, organic coconut oil.

People have different needs based on their body’s ability to absorb nutrients. We have three systems that help us determine which nutrients are specifically needed. They include the ZYTO Bio-communication technology health scan, blood tests, and muscle response testing, also called Applied Kinesiology. Used together or separately as appropriate, these tests help us customize a health plan tailored to each of our patient’s specific needs.

The last step in dealing with many health issues is beginning an exercise program. In my office, we teach a specific stretching program to help patients avoid injury. This is an important step before starting to lift weights. I teach a system similar to the one described in The Slow Burn Fitness Revolution in

my advanced classes but it’s important for everyone. These exercises burn up excess sugars, lowering them like nothing else, and you’ll feel great! By the way, DO NOT start a program without getting checked out so you can do it safely.

I love hearing from all of you, my patients and readers, especially about your progress. However, if you are having trouble solving your health problems, don’t be afraid to call and tell me. Either way, we will pick up and start again. The end of March means we are three months into New Year’s resolutions. By this time, most people have given up on their healthy resolutions…but we are not most people!

Why is Self-Love So Important?

The first time I was asked this question, I was taken back. I thought about it for weeks because it is such a big question complicated by the fact that love, let alone Self-Love, means different things to different people at different times during their life.

So what is it that determines who, what, when and how you love?

It is your level of consciousness. As your consciousness uplifts, so do your beliefs and ideas about love. At less refined levels of consciousness, the love you feel is more dependent upon what you are experiencing from your external world. Here, the flow of love is outsidein. It is conditional love, such as loving someone else because of how special they make you feel by how they treat you.

At more refined levels of consciousness, a person becomes less dependent upon the outside world for love. Through Self- Love, love becomes an insideout process, radiating outward from a person’s heart. It empowers you to live freely and joyfully as the sovereign, eternal spiritual being you are. But loving yourself as Source loves you can be difficult for many people to accept, let alone do. Many have been taught that loving yourself is being selfish. Family, religious and social programming often become embedded beliefs that you are not worthy to be loved, even by the Divine. You have been misguided into seeking the acceptance and approval of others as proof that you are lovable. On this path, you give your power away to others.

In order to know yourself as the divine Light of Source, you have to release self- judgments and the obstacles to the awareness you are literally Love incarnate. Self-Love teaches you to love

of love energy which determines your state of being. Consciousness could be defined as the amount of love a person is self-aware of experiencing. You feel this energy when you allow it to flow abundantly in you, through you and around you, and you do this through SelfLove. The more love in your energy field, the more refined your level of consciousness. yourself unconditionally no matter who you think you are, what you have done or how you have felt about yourself in the past. As your self-awareness grows, you develop a discipline to choose what thoughts, words and actions support your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well-being. It is an ability you can learn.

Self-Love is a necessary choice if you desire to experience higher levels of consciousness. It is essential to the ascension process and puts you on the fast track to enlightenment. Why? Because not loving yourself restricts the flow of love energy within you. It is the lack of Self-Love that creates the need for a person’s dependency upon the outside world for love. Buddha called this ‘desire’ the source of all human suffering. No matter how long or how hard you search, you will never find true happiness seeking love outside of yourself.

Self-Love is important because it helps you become less judgmental and more forgiving of others. Through Self-Love, you learn the Art of Allowing and how to accept ‘What Is’ without resistance.

To others, you may seem to possess a special ability to transcend occurrences with calmness and grace, which seems strange since it is so unusual. It could be said that you are living in this world, but behaving as if you are not of it.

In fact, quite simply, you aren’t. You are living a different reality through a shift in consciousness. Self-Love is powerful because it increases the flow

The transformative experience of Self-Love deepens your understanding that Love is the Prime Creative Force of the Universe. It is the Source propellant behind Everything. Creator God is unconditional, pure and infinite love with no judgment or dependency on any aspect of creation. The Creator is, therefore, in unity with, and not separate from, Creation, which includes YOU! Self-Love is important because it helps all of us remember our connection to Source. It teaches us that Love is all there is and that we never were and never are separate from Source Creator.

We are emissaries of God’s love, human angels with the power to create a life and world full of joy.

Michael Krajovic is Co-Founder of Sourceful Living (www. sourcefulliving.com) which is dedicated to using the healing power of self- love to help you embrace the abundance of life and raise human consciousness. Michael is visiting Michigan.

What is a Chakra?

The Sanskrit word Chakra literally translates to wheel or disk.

In yoga, meditation, and Ayurveda, this term refers to wheels of energy throughout the body.

This energy or life force (prāna) flows in the human body through three main channels (nādīs), Sushumnā central channel located inside the spinal column, Pińgalā, right channel and Idā, left channel. These two channels weave around the central channel and intersect with each other from the base of the spine to the crown of the head. Located in each intersection are the energy centers or the seven main chakras. To visualize a chakra in the body, imagine a swirling wheel of energy where matter and consciousness meet.

The Importance of the Main Chakras in the Body These swirling wheels of energy correspond to massive nerve centers in the body. Each of the seven main chakras contains bundles of nerves and major organs as well as our psychological, emotional, and spiritual states of being. Since everything is moving, it’s essential that our seven main chakras stay open, aligned, and fluid.

If there is a blockage, energy cannot flow. There are many examples of blockages in our physical world. One simple example is when your kitchen sink gets clogged. Something is stuck, water backs up, it becomes pretty nasty, stagnate, bacteria and mold may develop if we don't remove whatever is stuck. So it is with our bodies and the chakras. When feelings and thoughts get stuck and swirl around in the

body and mind we develop physical, mental, emotional symptoms.

the colon. When this chakra is open, we feel safe, fearless, secure and balanced. The color is Red, the seed sound is LAM.

Keeping a chakra open can be challenging, but when we have awareness, change can occur.

Second Chakra: The Svādhisthāna chakra is our creativity and sexual center. It is located above the pubic bone, below the navel. When this chakra is balanced we are open to our creative expression, joy, enthusiasm, sexuality, and passion for life. The color is Orange, the seed sound is VAM.

Since our mind, body, and spirit are intimately connected, awareness of an imbalance in one area will help bring the others back into balance.

Take for example, someone who is grieving a loss and develops a chronic chest cold. The heart chakra and throat chakra are affected. If one realizes the connection between the loss and the physical symptoms, healing will occur much faster when we honor the grieving process and treat that as well as the physical symptoms.

Awareness to which of your chakras are out of balance is key to aligning them. Our bodies are in constant flux between balance and imbalance.

Unless you have an apparent problem in one area of the body, imbalances can be difficult to detect. As such, it is important to bring awareness to your body/mind and start to learn its signals and clues.

The Chakras of Matter The first three chakras, starting at the base of the spine are chakras of matter. They are more physical in nature.

Each Chakra is associated with a color and a seed (Bija) sound.

First Chakra: The Mūlādhāra is the chakra of stability, security, and our basic needs. It encompasses the first three vertebrae, the bladder, and

18 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

Third Chakra: The Manipūra chakra means lustrous gem and it’s the area from the navel up to the breastbone.

This is our center, our core. The place were we feel our feelings. Many of us have said, "I felt it in my gut or I have butterflies in my stomach." When we feel our feelings from our center we are feeling them with honesty. It is in our core where we find our confidence, courage and strength. The third chakra is our source of personal power. The color is Yellow, the seed sound is RAM. The Fourth Chakra: The Connection Between Matter and Spirit.

The Anāhata chakra located at the heart, it is at the middle of the seven and unites the lower chakras of matter and the upper chakras of spirit. The fourth is also spiritual but serves as a bridge between our body, mind, emotions, and spirit. The heart chakra is our source of love and connection.

It is also the place where we make decisions and problem solve. When we bring our thoughts to our heart, we are able to make decisions with clarity and trust. With our heart open we begin to live our life from our heart rather than our head. The color is Green, the seed sound is YAM. When we work through our physical chakras, or the first three, we can open the spiritual chakras more fully.

MARCH 2015

The Chakras of Spirit

.

Fifth Chakra: The Viśhuddha chakra is the fifth chakra, located in the area of the throat. This is our source of verbal expression and the ability to speak our highest truth. The fifth chakra includes the neck, thyroid, parathyroid glands, jaw, mouth, tongue, and lungs. When this chakra is open and balanced we are able to breathe fully and speak with confidence, kindness, clarity, and honesty. The color is Turquoise, the seed sound is HAM. Sixth Chakra: The Ājñā chakra is located in between the eyebrows deep into the center of the brain at the pineal gland -- the only part of the brain that does not have two sides.

Renè Descartes called the pineal gland, "the principle seat of the soul." It is also referred to as the “third eye” chakra. The Ājñā chakra is our center of intuition. We all have a sense of intuition, or sixth sense, but we may not often listen to it or heed its warnings. Focusing on opening the sixth chakra will help develop this ability. One way to open this chakra is to take the breath there. The color is Indigo, the seed sound is KSHAM. Seventh Chakra: The Sahasāra chakra or the “thousand petal lotus” chakra is located at the crown of the head. The lotus flower grows in the muck and mud. As it surfaces, it becomes a beautiful flower, just as we grow from our challenges and difficulties and become our beautiful selves.

This is the chakra of enlightenment and spiritual connection to our higher selves, others, and ultimately to the Divine. It is located at the crown of the head and comes out the top of the head into the universe. When this chakra is opened and balanced we are able to see the unfolding of God/Spirit in everyone. The color is Violet, the seed sound is OM. Mary Jane Gazda, PhD, E-RYT 200, RYT500, CYTh. Asha Yoga Therapy Center is located at 36393 Harper Avenue in Clinton Twp.

So, what is an infinite being? The way to really get this is to see how far outside you can go in all directions. I wrote about this in, “Expanding into Oneness” in the October issue of Body Mind Spirit Guide. When you start to expand out and feel that wherever you look there you are, you truly get the sense of what an infinite being is.

There are many people that think that an infinite being wouldn’t need a body. What if we actually chose to have a body? What if we chose to come into embodiment? Embodying into this reality. A choice, not a “have to” because you were judged as having to come back and learn another lesson.

What if reincarnation is, we get to come into embodiment, and not that we have to keep coming back because we never get it right. Seems like a lot of judgment attached to that.

An infinite being is one who chooses. You are an infinite being

There are all kinds of really awesome things you can do with a body that you couldn’t do without one. Take your hands and place them over your face, gently touching you. Feel your hands touching your face and feel your face touching your hands. You couldn’t do that without a body.

Could you enjoy the feeling of a warm bubble bath without a body? Could you enjoy a meal without a body?

An infinite being is being aware of everything and being/having infinite choice. An infinite being is consciousness. Being fully conscious means everything is included and nothing is judged.

Not even judging you for being in judgment.

Would an infinite being choose judgment? Whenever you are choosing judgment, you’re not choosing from infinite being. It’s simply about being aware. Being aware when anyone, including you, is doing judgment.

So, in any situation you are facing you can ask, “Would an infinite being truly choose this?” What do you do with the answer? Other questions that go with this are: • So, if an infinite being wouldn’t choose this, then why am I? • Do I really need to choose this?

• Do I want to choose this?

• What’s the purpose of choosing this?

This last question will take you out of choosing something that may not be from an infinite point of view and move you toward an infinite point of view. If you get that there’s actually something you are trying to achieve by choosing this, you can make another choice.

An infinite being has no limitation. You have the ability to perceive, know, be and receive everything.

So, ask yourself for any choice you are going to make or have made, “Would an infinite being truly choose this?” You can always make another choice.

Gemstone of the Month Aquamarine MAR 2015 Characteristics: Aquamarine commonly recognized by its assortment of blue shades; from the deepest blue to the palest blue even a greenish blue. Aquamarine is a pastel gemstone that is exceptionally hard and has a magnificent vitreous (glass-like) luster. Aquamarine is a member of the beryllium aluminum silicates, meaning that the color is a derived from the iron impurities that are within beryl crystal.

Beryl crystals are virtually colorless it is only when tinted by impurities does it appear in blue and green hues, which is also why Aquamarines have excellent transparency and clarity. Aquamarine is prominently found throughout the country of Brazil. Other deposits of this gemstone are mined from, India, Russia and in the USA; Connecticut, Colorado, New Hampshire, North Carolina, Maine and Vermont. Other places include Nigeria, Madagascar, Mozambique, Pakistan and Zambia.

Origin: The name, Aquamarine is derived from Latin words meaning sea and water, therefore name “aquamarine” means sea water. The Greeks and the Romans revered the aquamarine as the “sailor’s gem” and believed it would ensure safe and bountiful passages across stormy seas. In Medieval times, it was thought that the gem reawakened the love of married couples and it was

also accredited for keeping soldiers untouchable and safe during battles.

Often associated with love, the Roman legend states that the stone absorbs the ambience of young love, and when blessed it joins the wearer in love and assists them in doing great things.

Folklore: Aquamarine symbolizes friendship, equity and courage. It is also said to boast healing abilities that aid in strengthening liver and kidney functions, diminishing eye problems, relieving glandular problems, as well as disorders with the jaw, neck and throat. Associated with challenges of sea travel, it is also known to help with seasickness. As the folklore says it is useful for awakening love, the gem has a soothing effect on married couples in assisting them in working out differences and to ensure a long and happy marriage. Many clairvoyants are known to use the stone to harmonize the body and soul. Well known for the birthstone of the month of March, Aquamarine can also be also given on 19th wedding anniversaries.

Weight Gain and the Diabetes Connection

nutrient devoid non-foods and preservatives.

The problems associated with diabetes and obesity also affect other organs and tissues such as the pituitary, thyroid, adrenals, and liver.

Diabetes is the fourth leading cause of death in the U.S. The number have risen almost 50% since 1983 and tripled since 1958, including childhood diabetes. 92% of children are obese.

Insulin dependent diabetes relates to problems that are associated with the failure of the beta cells in the pancreas to produce sufficient insulin on demand. Insulin resistance means that receptors on cell walls have become resistant to insulin.

Insulin does many things. Its primary role is to allow transport of glucose into cells and lower blood sugar. It stimulates energy, creates cell function and directly relates to your weight as well as your survival. Its action requires an abundance of nutrients which include chromium, zinc, manganese, calcium, nucleic acid and many others.

Diabetes is associated with a group of problems related to the failure of the beta cells in the Isle of Langerhans of the pancreas to produce sufficient insulin when needed.

Diabetes and obesity refer to a group of problems that develop in response to eating refined sugar and hydrogenated fats. Also, artificial sweeteners are implicated in blood sugar disruptions. Over half the population consumes aspartame. It can cause, aggravate, or accelerate a multitude of problems including diabetes and its complications include overweight and a craving for refined carbohydrates. The most likely candidates in diabetes as well as weight gain are refined, processed,

JOAN STJOHN

In one study, people with diabetes and obesity who followed a diet consisting of 50%-80% raw food were able to greatly reduce their medications. When foods were 90%-100% raw, they were able to completely discontinue medications. Since 75%-80% of people with diabetes are obese, it is apparent that there is a relationship to the food -- foods that can cause obesity, may cause diabetes as well.

Here are some tips that help in assisting people with diabetes: Zinc increases cellular glucose assimilation. Vanadium, a trace mineral, lowers blood sugar by mimicking insulin.

Manganese increases glucose transport. This trace mineral is needed for glucose balance. Vitamin A and E complexes increase insulin delivery. Vitamin C complex creates blood sugar balance, reduces elevated cholesterol levels and helps prevent diabetic complications such as capillary fragility. Chromium supports blood sugar regulation.

Abnormal regulation of intracellular calcium appears in diabetics. Essential fatty acids are primary for proper calcium distribution and utilization. The list goes on and on.

There is a whole array of supplements that will help, but it needs to be sorted out, best done by a qualified nutritionist.

It is agreed, even by the American Diabetes Association that there is no single diabetic diet food for everyone.

Advice should always be individualized. It is a good idea to be tested so that you use your own unique, specific and complex considerations to determine a program best suited for you.

Prosperity Tips With St. Patrick’s Day just around the corner and tax season ahead of us, we tend to find ourselves thinking more about that pot of gold. Here are some quick tips on prosperity!

STONES: Aventurine and Jade are used to bring extra money. lodestone and Citrine help to promote wealth.

CANDLES: Burn green candle to bring in money. My personal favorites are orange and yellow. Orange can help manifest joy and positivity and yellow can help bring a boost in luck.

METAL: Try carrying silver coins on you. It is an old myth that if you carry real silver currency it will increase.

HERBS: Make your own herb blend.

Sprinkle prosperity herbs in your wallet. Your money will grow and it will smell great! Rub a little cinnamon oil on the wrists to give you confidence.

Try: clove, cinnamon, vanilla, nutmeg, allspice, etc.

Sisters When Sisters are not sure of mother's love, each tends to believe very strongly that her sister is getting all the love, and she is getting none. Children often believe that there is a finite amount of love to go around, and that since her sister is getting the love, each is convinced that her needs will never be met and her desires will forever remain unfulfilled.

Sisters often handle this dilemma by ascribing certain values and skills to themselves.

guaranteed, like becoming a nurse or a school teacher.

She tends to marry down, so that what she believes are her inferior skills will shine in a relationship with a more ordinary man who feels lucky to have her.

•

Since completion is terrifying for her, she tends to teach her children to be dependent upon her--believing that will guarantee that she will always be loved. This results in children who become burdened with feelings of inadequacy and no internal locus of control. They tend to doubt their intelligence and their lives are often peppered with professional or job failures. Some children do remain overly attached to mother into adulthood, while others marry a domineering man or woman, replacing their dependency on mother by switching dependence to their spouse.

If you think you might be one of these sisters, or the child of one of these mothers, Family Constellations can help you change these unsatisfying, and sometimes destructive behaviors. The latest research shows that behaviors like these can be passed from generation--epigenetically! So if you want to be the one who stops the heritability of these dysfunctional behaviors, our next workshop will focus on exploring and reconciling with sisters, brothers, and mothers--relationships that can be reconciled in this generation do not have to be carried over to the next!

Turmeric Recently I had the pleasure of cooking with fresh turmeric root. The fresh root has a pungent and slightly spicy, but not hot, incredible pleasing flavor. Grating it is the best way to utilize fresh turmeric root.

I have been using the fresh grated turmeric in soups, sautés, casseroles and even specialty drinks. Native to Southeast Asia, it has been consumed for over 2,500 years. Turmeric is related to ginger, and has many of the same healing properties.

Turmeric is best known for its strong anti-inflammatory properties, and being a natural pain killer. These strong antiinflammatory properties makes turmeric a natural remedy for arthritis. It also has anti-cancer properties, plus it helps detoxify your liver. Turmeric has natural antiseptic and anti-bacterial agents. Recently, there have been studies showing that it helps with removing amylod plaque build-up in the brain, therefore, it may help with Alzheimer’s disease. It can also be used to soothe an upset stomach.

The fresh root is bright yellow-orange in color. When using it, remember it will stain whatever it touches. I grate the root on a piece of tin foil that I can throw away when I am done. Peeling it before grating is a good idea because the skin is fibrous, and when eaten tastes like you are eating a piece of paper. When using the fresh turmeric root, you will want to use a larger amount than the dried. The dried turmeric is boiled for about 30-45 minutes and then dried in ovens. This drying process concentrates the flavor.

4 carrots (diced) Two-Lentil Fresh Turmeric Soup 4 celery (diced) 10 cups water 2 T. olive oil 2 cups grated butternut squash 4 T. minced parsley 3 T. fresh grated turmeric root 3 tsp. sea salt 1 (4 inch piece) kombu 1 cup red lentils 1 cup green lentils 1 onion (diced) 6 garlic cloves (minced) 2 cups of corn Put water and kombu in a large soup pot. Bring to a boil.

Remove kombu, cut in small pieces, add back to pot. Add the lentils, let water come back up to a boil. Add the onion, garlic, carrots, celery and butternut squash, one at a time, letting water come back up to a boil in-between each vegetable. Reduce to a simmer, cover and simmer for 15 minutes. Add corn and fresh turmeric. Continue to simmer for 5 more minutes. Turn off heat, add the olive oil, parsley and sea salt. Serve hot.

A Secret to Losing Weight If you want to lose weight...then stop counting calories.

Calorie counting is obsolete. You might be asking why, and I’ll tell you -- it’s all about the nutrient density. If you’re only eating foods that are high in calories but low in nutrients, then what’s going to happen is that your body isn’t satisfied nutritionally and it’s going to be craving additional foods. Hence, more calories and weight gain.

Let me give you some examples. Let’s take regular vegetables that are not organic. As these veggies are growing, they are sprayed with pesticides, fungicides and herbicides which are poisons that kill the microorganisms in the ground. These microorganisms or bugs, are responsible for producing the vitamins and minerals in the plant. Without them, there are no nutrients being produced in the veggies, and eating them will cause you to be craving additional foods to satisfy the nutrients your body is craving. Organic foods on the other hand, are loaded with vitamins and minerals and don’t contain the toxic metals and chemicals, and therefore your body is getting the nutrients it needs. Now let’s talk about foods such as cookies, cakes, pasta, breads, crackers etc. These foods are high in calories but low in nutrients. If you’re not getting the nutrients that your body needs, it will cause you to go on a food craving binge. You’ll keep eating until the body gets the nutrients it needs and wants. Thus, the body over-eats and you gain weight.

On the other­hand, if virtually all of the food you eat every day is comprised of high nutrients, the body is automatically getting all the nutrients it needs and therefore it will automatically regulate your appetite and calorie intake. This happens without you having to struggle and restrict yourself to control how many calories you eat. This aspect essentially forces your body to auto-­adjust your appetite and you naturally fall within the exact calorie range that your body needs without having to over-analyze or count calories. Now, since most of us are not extreme distance athletes, that just shows you the power of eating a super­high nutrient dense diet and how this can automatically control your appetite, eliminate cravings, and put you on the road to a lean healthy body for life!

LOSING WEIGHT MADE EASY....

I’ve been doing Dr Reggish’s program now for 2 months and I have lost a total of 62 lbs. I can’t believe how easy it has been and how healthy I feel. The first week I lost only 8 lbs., but once I got the hang of it, I started losing fast. Its been 2 months and i’ve lost 62 lbs. I can hardly believe it. This week I lost 5 more pounds. Thanks Dr Reggish

IT WAS UNBELIEVABLE. I was reading about Dr. Reggish and all the people who had lost weight. His program was a simple one that was not hard to do.

Everything Dr Reggish said made so much sense. It was so simple to make his program a life style change. In 3 weeks, I lost an amazing 47 lbs. I had hoped for 35 lbs and because it was so easy I kept going.

Dr Reggish taught me how to eat healthy.

I will always be so grateful. Thank you Dr. Reggish. I’ve lost a total of 53 lbs. now after 4 wks.

Amanda D., Chicago My husband died 4 years ago at the age of 42. I had gained 50 lbs. and was feeling miserable. I needed help and my girlfriend told me about Dr. Reggish, helping her. I made an appointment with Dr. Reggish and have been on his program for 2 weeks now. So far i’ve lost 22 lbs and I feel great. I’ve followed his program to the T and the weight is falling off. I’m so happy.

Week 3, I lost 6 more lbs. for a total of 28 lbs. Thank you Dr. Reggish Melanie S., Hazel Park I’m a single mom and I needed to lose 15 lbs. So I decided to see if Dr. Reggish could help. I went in to get the Nutritional and Spinal exams for $45 . To my amazement the first week, I lost 9 lbs. while cheating. I couldn’t believe it. The second week I was good and lost a total of 21 lbs. His program was so easy that I want to work in his office to help others.

After 3 wks I’ve lost another 7 lbs. Total now of 28 lbs. God Bless you Dr. Reggish Sally M., Midland

Prosperity: Consciousness Matters Have you ever wondered how it is that for some people wealth and abundance seems to flow to them easily, effortlessly and constantly? Yet, many people struggle to meet their everyday needs or least are just getting by. Wouldn’t it be nice if you could have what you want flow to you easily and effortlessly as well?

The difference is due to consciousness.

Consciousness Matters. Universal Laws are in force for everyone on the planet.

It doesn’t matter if you believe in them or not, they are working regardless of your beliefs. Believe it or not, the Law of Gravity says that if you leap off a tall building you are likely to go “SPLAT” when you hit the ground.

If you study those that have great wealth and abundance, a few things stand out. They have a vision and an utmost belief in themselves that they will achieve their vision no matter what.

They are focused and keep their eye on the end result. Master Choa, the modern founder of Pranic Healing, calls it, Constancy of Aim and Effort.

I think most of us know this, so what’s the secret? The Universe is not what it seems. Society would have you believe that the cause of everything you see is outside of yourself, yet the exact opposite

is true. What we see is an out picturing of what is going on within. You have heard me say it before, As Within; So Without. It works this way because the Universe at its core level is energy. You send out energy frequencies and those vibrations go forth seeking ‘like energy’, drawing more of the same to you. So if you are doing your affirmations and meditations day and night and talk continuously about how you will be when you get the funds you want, and you know in your heart’s desire you are worthy of more abundance; then why does it not come?

Because Consciousness Matters.

One moment you are feeling excited, empowered and in a state of knowing, and the next you fret about paying your bills, worry about the next promotion, and begrudge how much money you pay in taxes. And now you begin to doubt yourself. Most people do not make the connection that there are other tapes playing in the background, other beliefs that are conflicting with your practices to create something different in your life.

These are opposing energies and when two opposing energies come in contact with each other, it usually creates friction and chaos.

Here are three powerful steps to update your consciousness.

1.

Reverse the script. Because we live in a material world, most people believe that once they have what they need, they can then do what they want and when they do what they want they will be happy. This is a Have-Do-Be flow (from Conversations With God, by Neal Walsch). Reversing the flow creates a new energy. Be-Do-Have. Be the energy of abundance. Feel it at the Soul level. How would it feel to be that? Make sure that what you desire is aligned with your Higher Self and then act on that.

Through the Law of Attraction you will have what you desire.

2.

Give gratitude. Instead of begrudging the bills you have to pay, give thanks for the money and the flow that comes to you so that you can pay your bills. When you give, the mind acknowledges that you had to have it in the first place to give it. Being grateful supports the “Being” aspect mentioned above.

3.

Infuse what you do with love.

When it comes time to do, do it with love and joy. Imbue everything with love.

This step aligns energy with your Higher Soul and will create ease in your life because the Universe supports all that is love.

Remember those people we mentioned earlier who are wealthy? They know how to manifest wealth. They get that part.

But many don’t get the part about being, giving gratitude and imbuing action with love. This is why they may manifest wealth yet many remain unhappy. This is why wealth and abundance alone cannot buy happiness.

You now have the secret for untold wealth and abundance, joy and happiness, health and well-being, peace and contentment. Now go forth and manifest the good, the holy and the beautiful.

Bloodstone

Bloodstone is a variety of quartz and is often found in masses of dark green with red speckles. Bloodstone is a powerful stone that helps us “be here now” by grounding our heart chakra and balancing our physical, mental and emotional bodies. It is known as the “stone of courage” and helps us release stress or anxiety by helping us accept that chaos can be beneficial before change.

It helps to enhance our creativity, talents, abilities, selflessness, idealism and healthy decision making. Using bloodstone in meditation can deepen our connection and union with great spirit. It also enhances our abilities to communicate with the spirit realm. Carrying a piece of bloodstone in your pocket will help you recognize your own strengths and give you the courage to move easily through any situation.

What do you want to know? Get the answers through QHHT!

higher level of reality where highly ascended masters or guides (some call them angels) reside. When you go to this level you are able to get answers to practically any question you have about your life. Of course, the guides will only answer questions that would be helpful to you. They would never answer a question if the individual couldn’t handle the response. They always have your best interest in mind.

Have you heard about, Quantum Healing Hypnosis Therapy? This is a method developed by the famous hypnotherapist and prolific author, Dolores Cannon. The QHHT method actually includes two separate and extremely helpful components. The first part of the session involves doing a past-life hypnosis session. The second phase of the QHHT session involves going to what many people call the “super-conscious” level.

There are many reasons for doing a past-life hypnosis session, the first component of the QHHT. Would you like to find out if you are with people you have known before?

Is there unfinished business that needs closure? Did a current fear originate in a previous lifetime? Are there chronic conditions that originated from the past? Are there talents and skills from the past that carried over to this life? Is there a karmic debt from a past life which is causing challenges in this life? Are there lessons from a past life that can help you now?

Finding these things out can be of great benefit. Of course there are many other reasons for doing a past-life hypnosis session, in addition to the ones just mentioned, such as just for curiosity or for entertainment. As you can see, doing a past life hypnosis session alone has many benefits.

However, doing the complete QHHT session is even more powerful and valuable than doing a past-life session by itself. As previously mentioned, during the second part of the session, you go to the super-conscious level. This is a much

Eliminate Negative Core Beliefs and Set Yourself Free!

5 Session Package Just $325.00 (425.00) Value Offer expires February 28, 2015 (See our article above for details)

248- 688-6469 Phil Rosembaum MA, Counselor & Certified Hypnotherapist Huntington Woods, MI self-esteemacademy.com

So what are some of the types of questions you can get answers for at the super-conscious level? Many people want to know what their purpose is, i.e. what they came here to do.

Others want to know if they are in the right line of work or would a different career be better for them. A common question is, “When will I meet Mr./Ms. Right?” or, “When will I meet my soul mate?”

Some people want to know the reason they have had to endure certain painful experiences. Some ask if they should move to another location, possibly out of state or even out of the country.

Another valuable benefit of this method is eliminating unwanted habits. During the super-conscious part of the session, you can ask why you have certain unhealthy habits such as smoking, over-eating, or even using harmful substances. The guides or masters can tell you why the problem originated and the best way for you to get rid of it. At times, they have even done healings for people.

Here are some examples showing how QHHT sessions have helped. One man had a very lucrative business, but was not enjoying what he was doing. When he asked the guides about this, he was told that he was supposed to be writing and giving talks, not what he had been doing. Another individual was very distressed that she could not have children in this lifetime.

During the session she went to a past life where she was happily married and the mother of three lovely children. Just finding out that she had been a mother in a previous life made her feel much better about her current situation. Another example demonstrated that healings can occur. A woman who had a chronic cough for several months was able to obtain relief for her problem. These are just a few examples of the many advantages of doing a QHHT session.

Imagine what it would be like for you if you could get answers to practically any question you have about your life. What would you ask? How might the answers change your life? Do you think getting these kinds of answers could have a powerful and profound impact on your life? I have seen this many times.

Love as Listening The Greeks identified 4 types of love: Eros: Romantic love. This is the path of passion and sexual excitement. It is often the first “stage of love”, the chemistry that attracts us toward another. The narrative that pairs with such passionate desire is one of possession. Erotic love treats the lover as an object to be controlled and used for selfgratification. It is a narcissistic love, with a partner only existing for the sake of our personal gratification.

Phila: Brotherly love. This is the form of love most promulgated by the spread of Christianity. It is a dispassionate and virtuous attitude toward the community of man. It sees mankind united in a brotherhood. Its credo is the foundation of the golden rule, which exhorts us to treat others as we would wish to be treated. It is an empathy, which bonds us together with others as if we are one. Its major manifestations are virtue, equality, and familiarity.

Storge: Love of family. This is the most primary form of love.

It is grounded in the biological bond with our children, which is anchored in our shared bodies. It is the love first mentioned in the Bible, with the initial reference being Abraham’s love for his son Isaac, whom God asks him to sacrifice.

Agape: Godly love. Agape is transcendent love. It is the love of God for mankind, and the reciprocal love man has for God. First referenced by Christianity in the Gospel of John (3:16), “For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life.” Agape is love without self-benefit. Without expectation. Agape maintains love even when it is not returned.

Egoless, such love puts the well-being of the other above our own needs and desires.

In working with couples, the root of most conflicts is that each person defines himself or herself only as unique and separate. The tie to their partner remains erotic, in that each are preoccupied with the gratification of their own needs. Couples who are having problems invariably trade allegations of neglect with each other. Their lives are preoccupied with what they are not getting from their partner.

qualify by blaming your partner - “She made me angry!”

Instead, acknowledge those destructive qualities that you bring to the relationship. See how your anger or fear is negative.

Explore how your narcissism spawns tendencies to control; how your negativity discourages others.

Secondly, explore these feeling states without judgment.

Do not condemn yourself or hold on to those feelings. Instead, practice being honest without condemnation. Activate the observational mind, notice and reject that aspect of mind which is the reservoir of judgment, condemnation or disparagement.

Instead of blaming your partner, use your tendency toward blame as a signal to turn inward to focus and observe the dynamics of your own shadow.

Developing Compassion to Your Partner. The reactive mind also responds to an unwanted comment or action with an afflictive emotion. We become wounded in reaction to our partner’s behavior. We respond with anger or distance. The observational mind sees through the comment to the pain underneath. Our partner’s anger is fueled by hurt; neglect generated by fear of abandonment. The activation of old wounds. But instead of reacting to the surface emotion, witness the pain beneath the comment. See the history that led to our partner being that way. Feel the “soft” emotion behind the outward harsh behavior.

As we approach with empathy, conflict dissipates. We see the world through our partner’s eyes, and our conflicts soften.

In our day to day actions agape manifests in deep listening, neutral observation, and empathy to self and others.

Dr. Abramsky

Michael Abramsky PhD, ABPP is a licensed psychologist with 35 years of experience treating adolescents and adults for anxiety, depression and trauma. He is nationally Board Certified in both Clinical and Forensic psychology.. Dr. Abramsky also has a MA in Comparative Religions, and has practiced and taught Buddhist Meditation for 25 years. You may call him at: 248-644-7398

Here are two practices to counter those tendencies: with practice, those erotic tendencies become infused with agape.

Love becomes more spiritual and selfless.

Exploring Your Shadow: The Shadow is the reservoir of repressed negative aspects of our personality. These are reflected in the afflictive emotions of desire, fear, anger and sadness.

Begin by focusing on your shadow and how it manifests itself in your primary relationship. Be honest about yourself. Don’t MARCH 2015

The Space In-Between of Beginning In the beginning there was space, we could say, the great void. Yet without a differentiation of space, the forming of galaxies and solar systems would never have occurred. Most of us have some sense of this yet don’t have the words to describe it.

Being in reflection with this process of creation, Embodied Practice begins with the pause after the exhale. The pause after the exhale is the part of our breath that begins our process of connections.

To aid you in experiencing, establishing, and understanding of the space in-between within us, I would like to share excerpts from the Embodied Practice Manual and my support to experience the space in-between within you.

Excerpts: I know that to be in balance, all forming in our galaxy, solar system and the universe must ultimately evolve to reflective relationship. Many schools of thought talk about reflection or mirroring, but I have yet to read anything that gives humans a container for what that would look like or how we get there, if we were in reflective relationship. Embodied and Pulse Practice are the beginning of this journey of humans returning to reflective relationship. (See Soul Orientation: The Dance of Reflective Relationship, by Kiera D. Laike for more information.)

First there must be a space or void, or what I refer to as the abyss. Our solar system and galaxy organized from a space or void in a cosmic dust cloud, so for humans to develop in reflection, we must also.

Our galaxy formed as gravitational shifts occurred in a cosmic cloud of matter. This is what scientists have learned. My knowing goes beyond this - in that depending on the amounts and the types of matter in the cloud determine what occurs in the space that forms in the cosmic cloud. This dark energy and matter in the space form structures respectively. Then, when the structures of the dark energy and matter are ready, the ordinary matter in the cosmic cloud moves into the space in-between (the abyss of dark energy) and then it restructures.

Fast forward 4.6 billion years; we are now experiencing the lining in the galaxy formed by this process.

Excerpts for support of being to create your space inbetween within you: Posture Sit straight with back support. If it is difficult to keep your back straight now, roll up a towel, wrap it with duct tape, and place it horizontally along your spine.

Pull your belly button into your back. This contraction of your lower pelvis muscles, over time, will tip your pelvis into the charging position of the sacrum, one of the energy charging spaces in the body.

Place your legs in an L shape. Keep your feet flat on the floor and your legs comfortably in line with your hips.

Initiation Exhale, blowing all your air out until your lungs almost hurt.

Before inhaling, pause with your lungs empty. This phase of the breath is the connection, the settling, the time of gathering and preparing. The pause after the exhale is the moment of our greatest ability to connect to the soul essence in our body.

Pausing before the work of the inhale settles the e-brain (diencephalon or middle part of the brain).

Settling Breath The connection is supported neurologically through placing the fingerprint of the thumb to the fingerprint of the pinky finger and applying gentle pressure. Hold this. On days when you have trouble settling, take three or four Settling Breaths. Your soul essence remembers and knows this process.

Exhale.

Pause. In the pause of the exhale, connect the fingerprint of the thumb to the fingerprint of the pinky and say to yourself “I invite the settling the forming of the space in-between inside.”

Inhale. Release the thumb to pinky connection. Relax and inhale.

Exhale.

Pause. Connect thumb to pinky. “I invite the settling the forming of the space in-between inside.”

Inhale. Release the thumb to pinky connection.

Repeat this three or four times.

Experience the space in-between, within you.

A Note from the Sensology Institute Staff: This is the 3ed in a series of 7 articles on Embodied Mechanisms, each describing one of the energetic mechanisms of Embodied Practice and soul orientation. These mechanisms allow our soul to emerge in the body through the gathering of our soul essence photon light from each lifetime. Each provides another key to unlock the door of our interrelatedness, or oneness, with the Universe. Grounded in Kiera D. Laike’s theory and practice of Sensology. Sensology has never before been

written about, and is not based on any established philosophy or discipline.

No Pain, No Gain Last year around this time, I was walking along the docks. As I was walking, I saw several migrant workers rushing into a large warehouse. Out of sheer curiosity, I walked into the door of the warehouse. It was a dark, damp place that had small, high windows as its only source of light. As I looked up to the ceiling, I saw several metal beams and watched as some men, who I had followed into the warehouse, hopping from beam to beam, until they got to the upper platform on the opposite wall. Once on the other side, there was an upper door that they all walked through.

I thought that they were absolutely insane. Moreover, I was insane for walking into that place. Then came what appeared to be the foreman. He was a short, thin, Chinese man, with piercing, yet loving eyes. He noticed my facial expression of part fear and amazement, looked me dead in the eye, pointed at the beams and said, “You go!”

Again, I don’t know why I did this because I was petrified. I climbed up a rusty ladder and began my slow traverse across the beams. This was not a circus act and there was no safety net, nor Flying Walenda to catch me if I fell. This was the real deal. Midway through, I began to panic and looked down. Right below me was the foreman. He said, “Okay, okay, you almost there.” I walked slowly, stayed balanced, and did not look down.

Upon arriving safely at the platform where the upper door was, I turned around and saw the foreman. Bewildered, I said, “How did you get up here so fast? Did you fly?”

He laughed and said, “I took the stairs!”

The foreman then pointed to a narrow staircase in the corner leading to the platform.

I thought to myself, “I’ll be damned.”

The foreman patted me on the back and said, “Good job, now let’s go eat.”

I followed him through the upper door and down another staircase to a break area. Upon entering, there was a long table holding a king’s feast. All of these men and women began clapping for me.

They were my family and friends, yet I had never seen them before in my life.

Then, I woke up to this world.

True to my Virgoan nature, I did a head-splitting, super analysis of the dream. Above all else, I must say to you that our guides, angels, and ascended masters do teach us in our dreams.

Now, in analyzing the dream, I arrived at a profound interpretation. The migrant men represented me having faith; following my dreams and allowing Spirit to lead me. The foreman was my guide, sent by the Divine Masculine to give me encouragement, motivation, focus, and the reassurance that I was protected and would not fall. The staircase itself was hidden, because there are no shortcuts on the path to your Divine Purpose. There is help, yes, but no secret opponent-stopping, video game codes like in Mortal Combat. My opponent was fear, and that was what I had to overcome in order to reach the other side, walk through the upper door; and receive the reward that was waiting for me.

As you know, Spring is fast approaching, and we will have to sow the seeds that we wish to harvest. However, to drink the new wine in the chalice, we must first pour out the old. The Divine Feminine has frozen the Earth so that we might go inside and self-reflect. This includes going inward and assessing that which we wish to keep and that which we wish to discard.

Now, grab a sheet of paper and a pen, and close your eyes. Breath in through your nose, hold it for 10 seconds, and remain still. Then breathe out through your nose. Next, write down whatever

comes to mind. Chances are, those are the things that you need to release. Sit and breathe for as long as needed. Once you have a list, destroy it and dispose of it in whatever manner feels best.

Want to put more power behind your release? On the first full moon (which is the time of release), light a candle, sit at least one yard in front of it so that you do not go into trance and fall into the candle, and observe what is being told to you to release. Write these things down and burn them.

Also, examine any other areas of your physical life that may need a cleaning. It could be your room, your office, car, or even your body. In fact, the practice of Lent, as I am being told in Spirit, is not only sacrifice for gratitude and a petition for our prayer. It is also a chance to purify and detox the body of denser foods, such as meat and processed foods. Spirit attaches no judgment to the enjoyment of these foods. Nor is Mother/Father God evaluating whether or not you’ve made your bed. The process of release is the physical mirroring the spiritual to bring us into alignment with Mother/Father God, and to prepare us for our new spiritual or light bodies that will know no limitations and not be bound to the desires of the flesh, as spoken of in Corinthians 15.

The more we cleanse our bodies, the more we are able to receive the higher frequencies, without tiring ourselves. As the R&B song said, “No Pain, No Gain.”

MARCH 2015

Divine Order Life is a co-creative process, which means that we have the ability to use our individual will, intentions, prayers, and actions to co-create our life with Love/ God/the Universe/All That Is. This cocreative process is a juicy and integral part of the dance of life. With that being said, there are also certain aspects of our life experience that are in some ways immune to the influence of our will and intentions. These experiences just need to unravel and play out, and all the doing in the world cannot speed up the outcome.

In my personal experience, I worked through releasing a soulmate relationship that evolved over a 10-year period.

Because aspects of this experience were very challenging, and I wanted to move on and be done with it, I did just about everything under the sun to “resolve” what I perceived as the issue -- working with healers/therapists/body workers, doing clearing rituals/ceremonies, reading books, setting intentions, doing past life work, making vision boards, taking classes, participating in movement practices, receiving energy healing, etc. I’m pretty sure that I could win an award for one of the most ambitious and persistent attempts at healing and moving on from a soulmate relationship.

I thought that if I could just DO enough inner work, I could co-create the life that I wanted.

On my journey of being fervently committed to healing all that arose within this soulmate relationship, I often had the sense that there was a natural unfolding that was happening. It felt like things were unraveling beyond space and time and that I had much less co-creative influence than I thought. Although I resisted this guidance with just about every ounce of my being, I consistently felt like no matter how much I did, that things were just going to evolve at their own pace through the grace of divine order.

MARCH 2015

we bring ourselves into the natural flow of life, which is guided by the principle divine order.

While I did certainly receive some benefit from the many ways that I pursued healing and resolution from this relationship, I now understand that I could have made things easier on myself by not working so hard, more fully surrendering to the process, and trusting that it was evolving at the perfect pace.

In retrospect, I can now see how each step on this part of my journey unfolded within the dance of the great mystery and according to divine timing, and that my attempts at co-creating the outcome I wanted was not going to speed this process up.

Because we are all co-creating our life experience, it can be helpful to discern when it’s beneficial to use our will and intention to manifest what we desire, and when life is calling us to let go of the doing and allow the flow of divine order to do its thing. Sometimes there is nothing left to do and life just needs to run its course, especially when we are working through core life lessons within karmic and soulmate relationships. These core lessons take as long as they take and all the doing in the world cannot alter or speed up the process.

A word of caution: To the mind, the pace of divine order often seems to resemble that of a snail. If it seems like things are taking too long, this could be a good sign that all is well. The mind tends to resist the principle of divine order because it calls for a surrendering of control and invites us to let go of trying to influence the outcome. Therefore, the more we can accept what is and trust that everything is unfolding at the perfect pace and for our highest good, the more 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

I am certainly not suggesting that we should stop taking action to co-create what is most alive in our hearts. This use of intention and will is such a rich and valuable part of this life experience. As we commit to doing our inner work, we cultivate more self-awareness, which definitely has a huge impact on what shows up in our lives.

What I am suggesting is that it can be helpful to experiment with less doing when that has been our primary approach to co-creating what we desire, especially around core issues and life lessons. In these areas, there is often so much going on, both seen and unseen, that it just takes time to unravel.

These situations often call for patience, surrender, and trust that everything is unfolding through the grace of divine order for your highest good.

Spiritual Horoscopes

Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20) – Happy birthday Pisces! Your year starts with a powerful total eclipse in your sign!

It is validating your intuition — you’re intelligent on more dimensions than the average person! Trust the messages you get in meditation and live from your truth. Think supportive thoughts about yourself. Sudden changes at work bring prosperity and joy, so be fearless if things shake up.

Aries (March 21 – April 19) — This month’s eclipse stimulates dreams and helps you visualize exciting future changes. Meditate for more guidance after you complete each step in front of you. In early August you can manifest major results if you stay consistent! You can also be starting a new relationship that’s very sexy and exciting (or have a renaissance in a current partnership).

Enjoy everything, just don’t let today’s thrills divert you from long-range goals.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20) — This month’s eclipse asks you to contemplate how helpful your friends really are. Do you have built-up resentments? Maybe it’s because they are less evolved than you. It could be time to seek new friends as thoughtful and spiritual as you are.

Don’t put up with crumbs! Also make a beautiful peaceful place in your house to meditate. You need a serene environment for a serene mind.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20) — You can have exciting opportunities with work that you’ve been wishing for!

The total eclipse opens many doors.

Supervisors have been putting in good words for you. Or, if looking for new jobs, you’re exciting to the hiring team.

In relationships, things become deeper.

Be sure to express your positive emotions to your partner, even if the intimacy frightens you. This cements your bond and helps your partner open up more to you.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22) — Let your intuition guide your career. Get in touch with your soul through daily meditation. Just five minutes of quiet time every day is enough to open the channel. You’ll gain insights on forgotten talents, or on ones you underrate, but others value. You’re better than you think! Be bold and let your light shine! Prosperity can come from a source you overlooked or gave up on — a big tax return, a bonus from a critical supervisor, or a loan you gave long ago.

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22) — Let relationships unfold gently. You might want to jump in too fast, or the other person could be over-eager. With the eclipse this month, it’s easy to get emotionally overwhelmed. By advancing slowly, yet steadily, you’ll be in a solid place six months from now. Also, be prudent about spending.

You’re on a high now and that’s great.

But meditate for balance so you can see all options clearly.

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22) — This month’s eclipse tests your willingness to release past relationship issues.

Things are being stirred up to be cleared out. Breathe through the feelings, journal about them and let them go! Resist your ego self who wants to poison the present with old junk! The roots might go back to your parents’ bond — but you can create better future karma. You’re not doomed to patterns! Happiness awaits on the other side.

Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22) — Take control of your mind — especially around body image, health and diet.

Meditate on your divine beauty and the wholeness of each cell. Don’t buy into your own negativity or society’s manipulative messages. The energy you salvage from not tormenting yourself with thoughts will channel into relationships. You’ll feel present and loved, as well as blissful and loving!

Seek out friends who stay positive to reinforce your new mindset.

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) — This month’s eclipse asks you to incorporate fun into your life! Other transits are pushing you to work hard and be aware of your finances, maybe even re-budgeting. That’s great, but what about nurturing your playfulness?

So many intuitive solutions come when you rest your mind through play. Or you might do art, dance, be with pets or kids, even cook. Creating balance makes you energized, successful and serene!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) — Like Leo pals, be cautious in relationships. It’s too easy to get caught in too much enthusiasm and then burn out. Allow love to develop gently and it will last! Make time for your spiritual practice; don’t abandon your soul! If partnered, a shot of divine energy will enliven a dull connection.

Be active together and more sexiness will stir up! Meditate or practice yoga together and see each other with new eyes.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) — This month’s eclipse brings up subconscious “stuff” — so think before you speak or act! Intense emotions can be related to past events that aren’t even connected to the person or situation. Meditate and journal to find

42 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

MARCH 2015

roots of feelings — they could have childhood beginnings or even be past life patterns! If about present day, you’ll be poised and calm if you need to do or say anything. Cleansing like this makes for intimacy, serenity and even prosperity!

Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) — An amazing, spiritual relationship can start — or your present one gains new depth and love! Aquarians are “in their heads”, so meditate to go beyond thoughts and release logic. As intuition flows, you’ll be more peaceful and attract higher energy people.

As mental stress is relieved, current folks regard you more positively.

Since intellect is your security blanket, releasing thoughts is a daily yoga practice for you. Stick with it fearlessly to maintain bliss!

Your Own Inner Wisdom Do you know that one of the biggest sources of wisdom is your Self? Yes, when you are in connection with your True Self, your inner Self, you have a direct link with the Creator, Source of All. When you are in connection with your inner Self, there is no need to go anywhere else for wisdom and guidance, for that wisdom and guidance is directly from our Source and has our best interests at heart.

There is no trick to connecting with Source. All that is required is the openness, the allowing and intention, while having determination, persistence and dedication ... taking the time and self-training to connect with your inner Self, also called your Higher Self or True Self, whatever you choose to call it; it’s that radiant inner light that is within us all and connects us to Source and to each other. And, we all know that our Creator is the Source of all love, light, truth. This includes wisdom, which flows from this knowing.

Spiritual wisdom is true wisdom. We have all experienced this “knowing” before, and know the feeling and results when we listen and follow its instructions ... and when we don’t. This spiritual wisdom comes from Source and through this spiritual wisdom, we are allowed the choice to act for our best spiritual interests. These interests may not look like the interests of society, so sometimes faith in this inner knowing, this spiritual wisdom, is needed when your message looks different from your mother’s, father’s... anyone’s. This wise message is for you on your journey, not someone else’s. So, have faith and courage in following your wisdom given to you by the Creator.

We have great examples of those who have done great things listening within; the Christ, Buddha, Martin Luther King among others. And, many whose lives 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

may seem “small” or “unimportant”, yet each and every one is important in the Creator’s grand design. We are not all brain cells, some of us are fingernail cells, important for the functioning of the whole, yet taken for granted until they are no more and things are off-kilter.

Each person’s wisdom given to them is for them. Admittedly, some train to “hear” the wisdom to help others when those others are unable or not willing to listen for some reason. That is still their path for that moment. So, if you find it difficult to decipher the wisdom given to you, go seek guidance from someone trained to guide you to your own knowing.

That being said, being open and willing, having the intention, is usually the first step to connecting with your inner Self so that you can allow yourself to receive the information. Having the desire to live being an expression of the Creator’s wisdom is another. For having spiritual wisdom is based in love; intellectual/societal information is based in fear. Wisdom based in love allows us to act and grow toward our self-realization, while reaction based in fear is just survival, being safe where you are at. Being safe where you are at is like living your life standing on the same square of sidewalk asleep, while the universe passes you by.

There are some steps you can take to start listening to and acting from Source’s wisdom for you. The first step is to just have the desire to live a spiritual lifestyle based on Source’s wisdom and love. This allows an opening within and let’s your subconscious mind, and your Higher Self, be alerted for change, transformation. We are given free will and using this will can allow an opening to Source, a connection.

It can be very helpful too, and this is the second step you can take, meditate.

Yes, many people through the ages have suggested meditation as a way of going within. There is a reason why it is still around ... it works. It is the most surefire way I know to learn to connect P a g e 43

with Source. There are many other benefits to meditation like self-control, relaxation, calming the mind. You can learn more by reading sources such as Body Mind Spirit Guide, books and even on the internet. Heck, Oprah and Deepak Chopra have meditations you can sign up for on-line. Meditation also has physical and emotional benefits along with mental and spiritual benefits.

Through meditation, you develop a path of connection with your Higher Self, this path, just like any path, becomes easier and faster to navigate the more you go along it. So, eventually, you can even “get there” to that peaceful, no-mind place in a breath or two. This is a great advantage to being in the moment; to listen and follow through on the wisdom given to you.

Now we get to step three. Most of us react to situations and repeat patterns in our subconscious mind over and over. When you can feel that “unease” and BREATHE, you can STOP the pattern, LISTEN to the wisdom, and then ACT with love, for true wisdom, as discussed, is based in love. This can change your life; reacting from spiritual knowing instead of reacting from patterns in the intellect, developed from fear (and defenses developed in childhood).

Step four would then be to be mindful of the pattern you just woke up to, and use the wisdom to continue to transform your patterns of reacting to those of being, living and acting in the moment with love and wisdom from Source as your guides, allowing you to grow spiritually towards self-realization.

May these steps assist you in your desire for guidance from your own inner wisdom. You may find things that are of particular help to you. If you would like to share these, please feel free to email me at miche@michelame.com. They may be of benefit to others. Have fun on your path, wisdom seeker!

Miche Lame’ offering: Hypnotherapy Intuitive Counseling Self Acceptance Healing

An Oak Tree is Just an Acorn that Took a Stand Standing in the fullness of your True Self does NOT mean taking a stand against anyone else. In fact, when you try to find your footing by opposing another, you lose ground, because what you judge and react to in another gets strengthened within you. Take a stand by giving full permission to your innate magnificence. The oak tree that you truly are includes some branches of fear or anger, yet it does not define the whole tree. You “take a stand” by knowing that every problem in your life is asking for you to birth a new way of being in the world.

Meaning…every challenge in your life is an evolutionary call to become more yourself; the oak tree. Like the acorn, you have the full potential to be wise, beautiful, abundant and dynamic. If you take your attention off of conditions and circumstances long enough to look compassionately within, you will discover God/ Love/Christ wanting to express.

Self compassion is the bridge from fear to love. Mind racing?

Trouble sleeping? Irritated? Remember sweet angel, it is just fear. It is not the conditions that upset you, it is the meaning you give to them. You have a choice in how you see things. Selfcompassion is the difference between thinking, “Everyone hates me!” and “This is an opportunity to learn forgiveness.” #1 Notice what you focus on in the day. #2 Notice what meaning you give to events. #3 Notice what you decide to do.

Ask yourself, “Am I focusing on things that are life giving?” and “Am I focusing more on what Creation/Love/God thinks of me, verses people?” Life is ALWAYS for you if you are willing to see challenges as opportunities to grow. When you say, “I am willing to see this differently”, you gift yourself the support of Love/God. In different contexts, all spiritual traditions teach the Divine is One. In marrying duality, a new awareness is born.

Through Spiritual Living and Healing, Miche utilizes Intuitive and Universal Principles to guide you in healing your emotional, mental, physical, & spiritual state.

MARCH 2015

Duality means believing anything can be separate from the omnipotent, omnipresence called, God. Fear is just a different expression of Love/God. In duality, we over-identify with thoughts and feelings. We believe we must control them to survive.

the master of or a victim to our world. In the battles of will and mental abstraction we never taste the sweet intimacy of life.

“The authentic rebel of Love would have to let himself be penetrated and broken open by love. This would be a devastating experience - devastating to the tidy brutalities of false self, but devastating also to the more subtle narcissism of the prevailing one-sided visions of enlightenment, which were themselves the result of an addiction to transcendence.” (Andrew Harvey, The Hope: A guide to Sacred Activism, 2009)

Surrendering (or feeling with nonjudgment and non-reaction) these thoughts and feelings feels like a death.

And in some way, it is -- it’s a death of old perceptions. All spiritual births have a death. We are always letting go to who and what we truly are. Our process of becoming is a process of letting go.

The next miracle of YOU is waiting to be born. (For more info on this topic, read Why Self-Acceptance Is So Powerful or come to the next workshop) In mental abstractions, duality seems confusing, something to figure out, a topic to theorize upon. Holding the paradox of duality in one’s heart is a process of witnessing, feeling, contemplating, and eventually a sweet yield (embodiment/wisdom). Never forget, all healing modalities are for surrendering to what is already there.

“First God, then intimacy...then the burn.”

(Author Unknown) The burn is the divine discontent you feel as you grow to embody the second coming of the Christ consciousness.

Standing within your own spiritual expansion, you learn to compassionately witness the spiritual discontent of an ever-changing, emerging co-creative field that yearns to become more itself.

Deepak Chopra once called happiness, “Divine Discontent”. Growth is scary, because it is a journey from the known to the unknown. Learning to journey through the unknown with compassion for fear gives you space for becoming a greater you.

Christ/Love/God happens through, in, and as people. It is not sacrilegious to say, “I am God” -- it is sacrilegious to say, “I am not.” Deny what God has already given you, and you deny God. MARCH 2015

You are a magnificent creation of God, remembering what you already have!

An outside deity is not going to rescue humanity, we have been given everything already. A ray of sun has all the qualities of the sun already, it is not trying to get back to the sun. The incredible courage, discipline, and desire to know God as oneself is not a luxurious path. Accepting our humanity to know a greater Love is a day by day, and lifetime by lifetime, adventure.

The essential spiritual being you are is forever changing and expanding; yet already whole and fully present within each moment.

You would think that being in a somatic felt experience would separate you from other “bodies”. However, we can see from our war on our own bodies that we mistrust what is natural. For example, the control of natural processes through the use of anti-inflammatory drugs, anti-bacterial drugs, anti-feeling drugs, invasive birthing processes, and social pressures to look thinner and younger. We currently approach the body and our feelings with distance and disgust. We approach the body with this desperate need to control because we are disconnected from our somatic awareness. This somatic separation confines our experiences and relationships to patterns of being either 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

Theories about Love/God and talking about Love/God can only get us so far.

Your felt experience roots you in the web of life. Your body is an access point to the divine, not just a means to an end.

Your body is a connected and inclusive part within the divine fabric of all things.

Every point of control, worry, or suffering comes from forgetting Who We Are. When we put our connection to our True Self or God first, we align with the prospering power of the universe. All patterns of suffering come from forgetting God. Remembering we are God and we are LOVE, while we witness our human craziness, is important.

When you are suffering, ask yourself, “How have I forgotten who I am?”

All suffering comes when you forget the battle is already won. The miracle is done already. You are that miracle.

Have you ever had a spirit or ghost in your home, or a loved one who was not yet ready to go into the light? In my over 30 years of practice being a psychic/medium counselor, these issues have come up thousands of times.

There are different ways to help rid your home of unwanted spirits. Many times they are harmless, sometimes just caught between time or space dimensions. When a spirit is caught in a time loop, they are not even aware of you or that their lives are even Thank you over. These spirits are very difficult to help move on. If you have a spirit for reading the lingering due to unfinished or unresolved Body Mind Spirit Guide karma, they sometimes respond well to Wendy Powers, Clairvoyant Counselor different ceremonies to help guide them TV & Radio personality with Proven Accuracy into the light.

First, you need to identify the soul that has passed.

Next, you will have to identify what or if there are any messages they want to share. At this time, you will also find out whether this spirit wants to move into the light or remain on the earthly plane between dimensions. Not all spirits are ready to move into the light. Sometimes, they stay on the earthly plane to help loved ones, or wait for someone close to them to pass on so that they can be there to guide the way. You see this often with soulmate relationships.
