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, 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!

How to Be in the Now

decide to seek the good in everything, there’s nothing to fear when we contemplate the future.

By Susan deCaussin

So, what’s the big prize at the end of all of this? If you can successfully determine to release the past and fearlessly embrace what lies ahead, life will explode with color that you’ve never experienced before. Being preoccupied, by either the past or the future, pulls our attention and energy away from the only thing we really DO have control over – the current moment. When you are fully awake and present, you’ll be rewarded with a level of clarity and joy that you could never have imagined possible. You’ll see, hear and experience things that you never knew existed.

Living in the “now”. This is the way to live a happy, content and joy-filled life. So, how do we make this happen?

How do we remain focused in every moment? Simply stated, to live fully in the now, you must be able to let go of all thoughts and concerns regarding past and future events. Easy to say, but a bit more complicated to do.

How many minutes of your day are spent reliving issues and events from the past or worrying about what’s coming next? Now, imagine what it would be like if you were able to release those thoughts and commit yourself to being fully engaged in the present moment.

When we replay the past, it may be out of a desire to have done things differently – also known as regret. Additionally, it may be from an inability to release yourself, or others, from past words or actions – also known as forgiveness. Without going into a long, drawn-out tutorial on how to let go and forgive, it’s easy to see that by living in the past, we’re concerning ourselves with things that cannot be changed. We can’t control what’s already taken place, but IT can control us by distracting us from the present moment.

On the other hand, how much of our day is spent worrying about how things will unfold in the future? Concerning ourselves with events that have not yet taken place shows that we have no faith in our ability to handle life’s twists and turns – no control over how those things will affect us. Nothing could be farther from the truth!

You see, life is nothing about what happens to us – it’s all about how we choose to react. If we choose to embrace all future challenges for the lessons they hold, and consciously

MARCH 2017

As a bonus, the energy that you’ll free up by releasing thoughts and fears related to the past and future, will ultimately allow you to raise your vibration and be better able to connect with your higher self. This will provide clarity regarding your souls’ purpose as it relates to your life path. Your confidence will skyrocket, allowing peace, joy and contentment to take the place of fear and regret in your life.

Are you getting what you want out of life?

By Phil Rosenbaum

Many people are now familiar with the Law of Attraction. It posits that if you focus on a goal or desire, and believe you will receive it, then you will be successful. Many individuals have tried to do this, but have not succeeded in their efforts. The question is, if the Law of Attraction is true, why isn’t it working for you?

Dr. Robert Anthony, psychologist and hypnotherapist, uses the analogy of putting in batteries incorrectly. If you have a flashlight, for example, and you put in batteries, but they are not in the proper position, the flashlight will not work. They must be correctly aligned in order for the flashlight to work. For the Law of Attraction to work, you must be focused on what you want.

The problem is that many people are focusing on what they have, rather than what they want. As an example, if you want more money but you keep worrying about whether you will have enough money to pay the bills, you are focusing on the wrong thing. What you are thinking about is the lack of money rather than on being prosperous. Another example would be if you desire to lose weight but all you think about is how distressing it is being overweight, then again your focus is in the wrong direction. The key is to focus on what you want rather than on how things currently are. And again, to believe it will occur.

This does take some effort because you are constantly reminded of your current situation or what you are currently lacking. Also, if you are focused on only one way of achieving your goal, then you are closing off other avenues for it to materialize. This is interfering with the Law of Attraction.

Another problem is that people, without realizing it, often sabotage their opportunities to improve their life. If a person says something like, “I would like to get rid of all this clutter in my house but I never have the time,” or “I would like to start an exercise program but I am just too tired after work,” or if

a person says, “I would really like to quit smoking but all my friends smoke,” the individual is nullifying the chance of success by using the word “but.” Dr. Anthony believes that whatever one says after the “but” is what the individual really believes, thus preventing the achievement of the goal. Since belief is a key component in getting what you desire, if you don’t really believe it will happen, then it will not occur. You may have heard the expression “I’ll believe it when I see it,” but as many of the Law of Attraction proponents more accurately state: “You’ll see it when you believe it!” You must first believe that it will happen for the Law of Attraction to work.

Even if you accept that this is true, you may still not be achieving your goals. For one thing, our habits often get in the way of making desired changes. Another problem is that it may take longer than you want for the goal to materialize and you stop believing it will happen. Sometimes the problem is that our egos do not want to make any changes. The ego only cares about survival, and making these changes can be threatening, so it resists making any change. One further problem is that on some level, you may not really believe you deserve to have what you want. Often people consciously want to make a change, but their subconscious is not in agreement.

Anytime there is a conflict between the conscious mind and the subconscious mind, the subconscious always wins out.

It may seem that with all this resistance, change is next to impossible. But there are tools that can make achieving your goal much easier. One of them is with the use of hypnosis.

Hypnosis can help regardless of the resistance you are offering.

It then frees you and allows you to get what you truly desire.

Psychometry

If you feel any negative energy, wash your hands in salt water. Like any other psychic discipline, psychometry skills will develop with time and practice.

By Nancy Lynn

Psychometry is the ability to interpret information surrounding inanimate objects by using the sense of touch or a psychic connection. In a basic example, a pan with food inside is placed onto the stove to heat the food within. The stove places heat onto the bottom of the pan (this is transfer of energy), the pan then heats the food inside (known as a psychic imprint). This simple concept explains how energy transfer happens. This example is very similar to what occurs to an inanimate object as it comes in contact with a living being. The energy from the living being is transferred into the inanimate object creating a psychic imprint on or within the object. The energy transfer can dissipate with time or be retained in the object forever. In this type of discipline, the psychic energies of the object will carry the information, or what we call a psychic impression – a person skilled in psychometry knows how to filter and pick these impressions up.

So how can you practice the art of Psychometry?

Now that we know a little more about psychometry, let us set up a practice.

Gather a group of friends together and ask them to bring personal items from a loved one that has passed such as jewelry, watches, rings or necklaces.

These items become infused with energy and will then have a psychic imprint.

Any piece of jewelry containing a natural crystal stone amplifies the energetic signals.

Place the jewelry in a bowl or on a table, with your left hand pick up one object at a time. When you place the object in your hand, calm your thoughts and see what impression you are receiving.

It might be a person, place or a feeling you are experiencing. Work to create a link with the object as you are holding MARCH 2017

it. Feel the emotion contained within the item; try to see or sense any events or circumstances attached to this item. See if you hear anything about the object or sensing who the person is who owned that item. This way of reading is quite similar to a psychic reading, though you are focusing on the connection to the object in your hand to build the information. Then see who you feel this item is connecting to in the room and what connection it has to that individual.

When you are done with the images, ask the owner about the information you have received. Some items will be harder than others if the psychic imprint is low.

There are other objects that also have a strong psychic imprint Photos – photos printed on paper containing people and family retain a lot of emotional and relationship information.

Oil portraits and landscapes – oil paintings seem to infuse a psychic imprint, especially when a painter has been commissioned for a personal portrait.

Walls – in old buildings, residual energies of the past gather, providing you with insights on information about the events of the past.

Furniture – furniture made out of wood or metal, especially armchairs, couches, tables and beds provide insight into the family dynamics or can give you a deeper knowledge about the person that used to be there.

Toys – children’s toys dealing with child problems contain vital information about emotional and mental states.

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

One other interesting part of Psychometry is that it can work as a two way street and can be used for manifestation and visualization.

Psychometry is an exchange of information and energy. Based on this, you are able to infuse an object with your energy. To do that, clean a crystal either by means of salt water or moonlight, then place it in your right hand, state your intention or affirmation clearly; the energy will transfer and work towards assisting you in your manifestation.

Nancy Lynn Nancy Lynn, Take one of our workshops and we will help you discover more about yourself and show you step by step how to do it on your own. I’m not claiming that this workshop is going to make anyone an expert, though we hope that it will give you a nudge in the right direction.

Using Stones to Maintain Optimal Health and Balance with Our Chakra System

By Jennifer VanderWal

Have you ever heard the word chakras? Ever wondered what they are and how they effect you? The first written text about our chakra systems is in ancient Sanskrit and is over 2000 years old. The word chakra literally means spinning disc or vorticy.

We have seven major chakras that run from between our legs to the top of our head, on the front and back of our bodies; there are hundreds of smaller chakras, in our hands and feet for example. Our chakras help us determine the information that we are processing. As you are reading this, all of your chakras are pulling in the information and distributing it around your body, helping it to process everything and what to do with it.

When we become stressed or have a traumatic experience, our chakras will partially or fully close; when our chakras are off balance there’s a lack of sufficient energy being sent to the chakras and physical body. This can eventually cause health issues, because if our organs have a lack of energy they will not function at their perfect optimal health. When I do chakra balancing, one of the things I do is clear the chakra of other people’s as well as our own emotions or thoughts. These in accumulation can also block a chakra.

The chakras are connected with our physical organs and each chakra governs over specific parts of the physical body.

Often if you are having imbalance in your physical body, it’s because the chakra is blocked. Opening the chakra will bring about more energy for the physical body to heal and regenerate itself. Chakras also help us with various aspects in our lives.

For example, if you are experiencing a lack in prosperity, your base chakra may be closed; opening this chakra will help to heal any disease and help you be open and receptive to your infinite universal prosperity and abundance.

There are a variety of stones that can be used for each chakra. Because crystals work via pyroelectric and through piezoelectric energy, just holding the stone in your hand on the chakra for 15 minutes is a sufficient amount of time to open and balance the chakra. This month we are focusing on the base chakra. The base chakra is located between our legs, at the perineum, and its main function is to keep us grounded and connected with the earth. We have cords that come out of the base chakra like tree roots, and extend deep into the earth helping us connect with her and manifest our hearts greatest desires.

The color of the base chakra is red, which also lends to our physical health and energy. The base chakra works with home, careers, stability, family, prosperity, manifesting, being MARCH 2017

connected with the earth, abundance and being grounded. Our base chakra also works with our circulatory system, bones, muscles, low back pain and feet. A good scent to use when working with our base chakra is sandalwood or any earthy scent.

Great ways to get connected with the earth are to sit on her, walk on her barefoot, garden, balance our finances, clean up our homes, listening and heeding to the physical body’s needs and wants, pampering and loving ourselves. There are a number of great stones that can be used on the base chakra.

Schorl (black tourmaline) protects against negative energies of all kinds; it grounds energies, tension and stress. Dravide (brown tourmaline) is an excellent stone to help us ground because it cleanses and opens our earth chakra and grounding cord. Dravide is not as heavy as hematite and can be a “lighter” way to stay grounded; it also clears and protects the auras.

Garnet cleanses and re-energizes the base chakra as well as all the others; it is also an excellent stone to use in times of crisis. Hematite is heavy grounding and protective. Hematite absorbs lower vibrational energies and restores, strengthens and regulates our blood supply. Obsidian of any variety, strengthens our grounding cord and absorbs negative energies from our environment. Obsidian is also an excellent stone for empaths and highly sensitive people, blocking all lower vibrational energies. It also seems to ground all energies that we don’t need. Ruby stimulates our enthusiasm and passions as well as goal setting, and is also very protective and grounding.

Here’s an easy meditation to use while holding one of the chosen stones on the base chakra. Get into a comfortable meditative state where you can feel all of your feet touching the ground. Bring your awareness to your base chakra between your legs. Visualize and feel that you have a big tree root coming out of your base chakra, and extend it down into the very heart center of the earth. When you reach the center of the earth you will see a large iron core crystal. Take your tree root and tie it in a knot around the large crystal; once you do this, you will be completely grounded and connected in with the earth. Bring your awareness back up your tree root and back into your body. Go through the day feeling grounded and connected with the earth, feeling her healing energy and abundance healing every part of you!

IN THE LIGHT INTRODUCES:

MIDWEST INSTITUTE FOR SYSTEMIC CONSTELLATIONS™ Constellations experts suggest it is possible for an individual to become entangled with the “fate” of an ancestor. Some believe that the emerging “soul”—out of love”—decides to carry the fate that belongs to an ancestor. This may sound like a virtuous thing to do—to honor an ancestor so highly that the soul decides to carry the fate of another, but this generally creates many difficulties—often leading to extreme dysfunction and unhappiness. In the early days of constellations, it was thought that ancestral traumas and behaviors were passed from the ancestors to the present in some metaphysical way by an “energy field.” German psychiatrist and early constellations expert, Albrecht Mahr coined the term “Knowing Field,” a term that is still used to this day.

The Knowing Field has been explained in a variety of ways.

Some have suggested that it’s similar to Jung’s Collective Unconscious, but Liz was convinced that there was something more unique than that—something very personal and unique to the individual’s own family system. Liz returned to graduate school to find the answers—she went in search of the personal systemic unconscious. Liz first discovery was Rupert Sheldrake’s morphic fields and morphic resonance—a “non-local” explanation. Sheldrake suggests that information is carried from one individual—person or organism—with no physical contact between them.

Sheldrake demonstrated that once a type certain breed of laboratory rat learns a maze, similar rats around the globe learned the maze much faster that the first rats, Sheldrake’s first success with non-local transfer of information and/ or behaviors. He was able to replicate this phenomenon in a variety of different ways, and posited the information, or learning, was carried in what he called morphic fields, and new learning took place through morphic resonance. Sheldrake’s theories of morphic fields and morphic resonance were possible explanations for Liz’ “systemic unconscious,” but were not quite exact enough to describe this Personal systemic unconscious— that carried information, behaviors and experiences of the ancestors to a specific individual across generations.

And so Liz continued her research, and what she discovered was a brand new science that had grown from the findings of the Human Genome Project, the multi-agency research project that successfully sequenced the entire human genome.

The project was completed around 2002 and the field of epigenetics exploded soon after. Scientists had a road map to explain the transmission of information, traumas, behaviors, experiences, from one generation to the next—and it was not being transferred by some “field”—it was passed biologically

from one generation to the next by epigenetic changes in gene expression.

Since the Double Helix of DNA was discovered in the early 1950s, “hard” inheritance was accepted along with “DNA is Destiny!” This was pure Darwinian inheritance. But as the science of epigenetics evolved, it became obvious that “soft” inheritance was possible. Liz’ research found that the environment impacts the expression of the genome, turning switches biological switches “On” or “Off”—silencing some genes and activating others, while the underlying DNA remains the same. These changes in gene expression are stored in the epigenome, which lies above the genome—from the Greek “epi”, over, or above. Once stored, the changes can be passed on to subsequent generations for as many as four generations, and perhaps even more. This process is known as “soft” inheritance because epigenetic inheritance isn’t hard-wired in the DNA. Liz discovered, as she continued her research that it’s possible for an individual to inherit full-blown PTSD, as a result of a traumatic experience of an ancestor. Individuals with epigenetically inherited PTSD present with symptoms as pronounced as those of soldiers who’ve been to war. The phenomenon of inherited trauma was first observed in children and grandchildren of Holocaust survivors. Such individuals tend to lead confusing and dysfunctional lives, often spend years in talk therapy—with little of no relief, and some develop feelings of helplessness and hopelessness, while others can develop serious anxiety disorders. Using what she has learned from her research in epigenetics, and from her constellations training, Liz has had remarkable success—first in identify previously undiagnosed inherited traumas or PTSD, and the honor of helping troubled individuals to heal what was not theirs to carry.

Epigenetics is an exciting field! Perhaps the most exiting aspect is that an individual can change the epigenome by making positive changes in lifestyle. By changing to a healthy diet, adding regular exercise, meditation, and by finding joy from creative pursuits, unwanted inherited epigenetic changes can be reversed and mental and physical health can be restored.

And these positive changes can continue throughout the lifetime of the individual!

A Case for Individualized Healthcare Don’t get me wrong, I think there is a place for standardized medical protocols.

Check lists used in ERs and operating rooms save lives, no doubt. But some health issues don’t lend themselves to one-size-fits-all fixes. A good example of where an individualized approach can be ideal is the person who has unusual symptoms that have to do with food allergies or food intolerances.

Often when I first see a patient who is reacting to a specific food or group of foods initially we don’t know that this is the problem. Rashes, respiratory problems, headaches, dizziness, joint pains, chronic constipation, or diarrhea – even some mental health problems – could have a food reaction as its cause, or contributing factor. This list is by no means complete.

Frequently, the symptoms without a clear diagnosis, turns out to be a food reaction. To be fair, sometimes it isn’t a food reaction.

How do we sort this all out? A powerful tool is the elimination diet. Allergy specialists tend to use a blood test called a serum IgE antibody test, and a skin prick test, involving multiple needle pricks. These tests can be useful in identifying classic allergies but not all food reactions are classic allergies and neither test is perfect. Many of these tests are covered by insurance. In many ways, the gold standard for food allergies, as well as food intolerances, is an elimination diet with a reintroduction challenge. When I see a new patient, sometimes an elimination diet is the starting point. Other times, an elimination diet is something we do only after blood tests, and addressing other issues. And sometimes elimination diets are not necessary.

courses of antibiotics, you may have an imbalance in your gut flora (the microorganisms that live in your intestines). At times, it makes sense to address this first. It’s also worth looking at your diet and what you usually eat. You may have an intuition that a specific food is the root of your problems. Sometimes it makes sense to start with eliminating just that food, and sometimes it makes sense to search more broadly. In some cases, getting lab tests first before an elimination diet can save a lot of time and headaches. Perhaps the most important issue involves the patterns of your daily life. For some people making radical changes in your diet for a month or two is no problem, other people may not be able to rearrange their lives to make significant changes in what they eat. I believe that you deserve healthcare that can take these issues into account.

The purpose of an elimination diet and reintroduction challenge is not to sentence you to a life of avoiding all your favorite foods. Elimination diets are diagnostic, intending to help you discover foods that may be a problem for you. Once you know a food is a problem, a treatment plan is designed based on the individual’s results.

The decision about how best to proceed is influenced by several factors, some of them standard and routine, but if you’re the individual patient several factors that are unique about you should be taking into consideration. Let me give you some examples. If you’ve had a history of frequent or long

Are YOU Getting Enough Sleep?

timed properly. For example, exercising closer than 2 hours before bedtime is counterproductive to sleep. Also, we shouldn’t watch television or spend time on the computer before bed because the light is disruptive to our master clock.

By Dr. William H. Karl, D.C.

Sleep is that somewhat elusive escape that some of us crave while others want to avoid because it takes time away from their busy lives. The truth is that without sleep, we cannot survive long. Let’s look at how we can get the most out of it.

Statistics from the Center for Disease Control and Prevention show that lack of sleep is a public health epidemic, and that approximately 40% of Americans are sleep deprived. While some people choose to sacrifice their sleep to do more interesting things, others simply can’t sleep. I hope the following information will give you the incentive to pursue restful sleep as part of your optimal health plan.

Most experts agree that adults need an average of 7-9 hours of sleep. This requirement can be obtained all at once or divided up. Getting 6 hours at night along with a 2 hour daytime nap can work well as long as you dream.

It’s great to learn how to get better sleep, but it’s more important to understand why sleep is such a big deal. Sleep deprivation is correlated with serious medical conditions that include obesity, diabetes, heart disease, and early death (Division of Sleep Medicine at Harvard Medical School.) Lack of quality sleep is associated with anxiety, memory loss, fat gain, mood swings, high blood pressure, and a decrease in physical performance.

Some of the things that interfere with quality sleep include having sources of light or electronics in your bedroom. The electronics should be removed and all lights should be turned off and/or covered up.

People often turn to sleep aid drugs when they can’t sleep, but typically the body just needs more of the proper nutrients. Prescription drugs are designed to force a reaction in the body. When help

is needed, there are quality supplements made from scientifically formulated natural ingredients to help regulate sleep patterns and promote relaxation. Some of the most researched and proven ingredients include Tryptophan, an amino acid from protein, and the herbs, Lemon Balm, Passion flower, and Chamomile flower.

Sound sleep equates to getting REM (rapid eye movement) sleep. While the REM stage of sleep is associated with dreams, we can have REM sleep without remembering our dreams. When we go into this REM state, the brain’s lymphatic system drains poisons that have accumulated from normal brain usage during the day. REM sleep allows us to wake up renewed, refreshed, and revitalized.

According to a National Sleep Disorder Study, 85% of all sleep problems are lifestyle-related and curable by following healthy habits. The short list of life-style related decisions includes food choices, sleeping habits, and activities. The foods we eat need to provide us with the nutrition to sleep well. If the body doesn’t get what is required for nighttime cellular repair, sleep is often disturbed as the body searches for the nutrients.

Disordered sleep patterns also frequently result from eating or drinking something too close to bedtime that has naturally occurring caffeine. However, the synthetic caffeine found in most energy drinks or pills is even more disruptive.

Now let’s take a look at our activities.

Do you spend your free time exercising, listening to music, watching TV, socializing on Facebook or surfing the net? All of these activities have merit as long as there’s balance and activities are

The master clock is a group of nerve cells in the brain called the suprachiasmatic nucleus or SCN. Approximately 20,000 of these cells are located above the hypothalamus.

This nerve tract travels down our spine through the mid-back/thoracic spine.

(Yes, getting adjusted also helps us sleep better!) The master clock coordinates the other trillions of body clocks in the body to keep them in synch.

Like most organisms, we have a 24 hour circadian clock that’s influenced by cycles of light and dark. Disrupting our natural circadian rhythms with unnatural light sends confusing signals to the body’s cellular clocks and endocrine system, thereby influencing hormones and cell cycles, as well as cellular growth and repair.

An important hormone you’ve probably heard of is melatonin. Produced by the pineal gland, melatonin regulates sleep and wakefulness. Bright light exposure, especially sunlight, helps increase production of melatonin. The absence of light in the evening triggers the release of melatonin. This is why experts recommend getting at least 15 minutes of sunlight every day.

Director of the Center for Sleep and Cognition at Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center, Robert Stickgold says that sleep increases our ability to gain insights that would otherwise remain elusive, that the brain extracts meaning while discarding unimportant details to help us make sense of our lives.

(Mercola.com “The Many Reasons Why You Need Sleep.” 10/2015).

Other research (2011 Journal of American Medical Association) shows that quality sleep helps the brain process new experiences, thus increasing

MARCH 2017

our understanding and knowledge in what’s called “memory consolidation.” Not surprisingly, a study with 300 women showed that those who didn’t get good sleep had an 85% chance of developing dementia (memory problems) after 5 years.

Research shows that if you get consistent good quality sleep at night, you can lose unwanted body fat, elevate your metabolism (energy), improve your immunity, slow the aging process, and reduce your risk for all the major diseases.

I believe that getting quality sleep is more important than hours spent sleeping and have heard that a number of famous people, including Albert Switzer and Nicola Tesla, only slept 3-6 hours a night -- although they probably had that all important nap. The trick is, to get what you need to be all that you can, and to feel your best. Since it usually takes 5 hours to burn down the cortisol and go into a 60% fat burning mode, lots of us have an incentive to try to get those ZZZZs. Dr. William H.

Detoxifying Your Skin By: Anthony Grinblat As many already know, floating in an Epsom Salt bath is great for the physical pain of joints and muscles, along with maintaining mental health through sensory deprivation, but it also detoxifies your skin.

The sulfates in Epsom Salt assist the body in flushing out toxins and providing a heavy metal detox from the body’s cells, hence lowering the internal accumulation of harmful substances. Human skin is a highly porous membrane; by adding minerals like magnesium-sulfate while floating, it triggers a process called reverse osmosis, which actually pulls salt out of your body and harmful toxins along with it.

Epsom Salt baths also Volumizes hair. Soaking in an Epsom Salt bath can help decrease excess oil, which contributes to hair looking flat and weighed down. For a complete detoxification and rejuvenation, soak the whole body in a highly dense Epsom Salt bath at a temperature of no less than 93˚F (34˚C) for a minimum of one-hour. It takes approximately 20 minutes of being in the water for the Epsom Salt to take full effect. After that it becomes pure benefit.

Change is Our Friend, Not our Enemy

By Brenda Tringali

I know, I know, I know. How many conversations have we had about change?

If you’re all about growth and becoming, like I think you are, you’ve had a conversation or 100 about how changes affected you. That being said, I think this is still an important topic to explore because most of us are still having a difficult time embracing change to the fullest. We brace ourselves, in a negative or tense way, for the potential negative consequences of change; even when it’s good news, such as a new position or job we’ve been coveting. Amongst the feelings of joy and happiness, our psyche sneaks in worry about the new experiences because they are different. Today, there are so many changes or new experiences happening that many did not think were possible and because of this, we are seeing front row and center how those around us manage change; some are more afraid than others. How do you manage change?

For many, change will be a subconscious fear-based response. It seems the idea of change itself is the barrier to embracing a new idea or way of life. It’s not that we don’t want to think more positively for example, it’s the implication and anxiety of the unknown. So, even though things might get better if I…I’d rather stay here because I know what to expect. This is our subconscious belief system ruling our functioning, that I mentioned. There are so many reasons, and most are good reasons, for thinking change is a negative experience. They are all personal and unique to your experiences. Do yourself a favor and get to know those reasons about yourself.

For others, and I’m sure this is you, change is something contemplated. Time is spent breaking down and dissecting your personal biases or fears associated with change. By understanding beforehand how you might perceive or define change, you are being proactive about making conscious choices about change. For example, you might say to yourself, “I am safe and embrace all changes with ease.” This might need to be said and thought a lot before fears are dissipated around change, because you are reprogramming your beliefs and values. Choosing to think all change is positive is like having to pave a new road or pathway in the middle of the forest, or for some, it might be the jungle. You have to cut down all the trees and debris, level the ground, and put down sand, pea gravel, cement or pavement. Think of all the equipment, tools, and manpower needed to complete this task.

To help me embrace change, I like to put up signs or reminders. One of my reminders is a large jar of change collecting at The Indigo Doors saying:

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

MARCH 2017

“Here collects change in celebration of change in our lives.

Every time I put change in here I honor the beauty, significance, and perfection of change in my life.

All change in my life is positive and loving!

I embrace it, free of fear and doubt. Thank you change for helping me know myself and become the grandest expression of myself.”

I have yet to meet anyone who has no bias or fears associated with change. So, be nice to yourself! Be gentle when you realize that you are afraid or have doubt associated with change! It is comfortable to stay with what you know and change is an opportunity to express your greatness to its fullest.

Both are true. And, I choose with intent to embrace lovingly, all change with ease!

Compassion Matters

By Faith Brower

What is compassion? We use that word often… “Be compassionate – he lost his mother.” Or, “Have some compassion, she is sick.”

But compassion is not about pity or simply being nice to someone. It is something deeper; it’s about being able to understand to some degree how another person feels, and using that empathy to want to help them in some way. Webster defines it as, “Sympathetic consciousness of others’ distress together with a desire to alleviate it”.

Who taught us compassion? Was there a particular person or maybe a character in a book or movie? What stories do we remember, or what memories of how a person acted inspired us to emulate them? Who do we want to be more like from our childhood or from our memories because something deep within us knows that their actions made a real difference?

Compassion matters. Why? Not only because it makes the receiver feel better, but because it somehow, almost magically, changes us! We feel better BECAUSE WE ACTED THAT WAY. Is the quality of compassion in each and every one of us? Are we born with it? Or does it come from certain circumstances we find ourselves in? Can we be taught it? I think we are born to transform suffering. But the seeds of compassion need to be watered to grow. Certain experiences stimulate compassion to grow.

But compassion has enemies: fear, moral outrage, and pity!

We seem to live in a society that is paralyzed with fear and in that fear our capacity to be compassionate is paralyzed. We need to stop acting out of fear and realize that fear causes US harm. Whereas, compassion is good for us. There are real benefits to practicing compassion. Neuroscientists at Emory University say that it hooks up all parts of the brain and enhances our immune systems.

So why not actualize compassion through direct action? Come out of your cave and into the world! Practice caring and support to others, and you may just find your life flourishing with more peace and happiness.

Talking to Heaven

goosebumps after they walk by is a sure sign they have visited you, and they were close!

By Tatiana Scavnicky Have you ever gotten the chills when someone said something that you totally resonated with, or after an eerie coincidence? Or, found yourself led to a store only to find the perfect gift you’d been searching for? Spirit is always talking to us, we just need to be open and willing.

Here are a few ways Spirit communicates with us.

Noticing the same kind of bird or animal Last fall, five hawks landed in the park behind my yard. It looked as if one of them was injured. I had never seen more than two hawks flying together before. One of them flew into my yard and circled above me. I knew this was a mega-sign for me. Hawk is my power animal. I have a friend who calls me, “hawk girl”. The day before my birthday, a red-tailed hawk landed in my backyard and sat on the fence for ten minutes.

It let us get a picture of it. Another time while meditating outside after a huge argument, one flew towards me super low and over my head.

Every bird or animal carries unique symbolism and a message. Doves are a sign of peace, prophecy, and Jesus. Owls represent magic, wisdom, the Goddess and the moon. Hawks are connected to Mercury, the god of communication.

Mercury rules the astrological signs of Virgo and Gemini. I am a Virgo with a Gemini Rising. I have had many uncanny encounters with hawks. They bring the message to seek your life purpose and cultivate the vision for it. They are protectors. I feel very much guided and watched over when they visit me. I know that Spirit is ever near, telling me to stay focused on my vision and purpose, and to lean into the magic. A hawk visitation

can mean that a difficult life situation will soon get easier, and to stay close to the wisdom of Spirit, and be aware.

Repeating numbers Number sequences like 111 are a sign to watch your thoughts. We are powerful manifestors. You may start to see this one after you have prayed for guidance.

If you are feeling fearful, this angel number says to keep your thoughts on what you want, and not on what you don’t want.

Seeing 888 over and over is a sign of abundance and the potential for prosperity and new opportunities on the way. 8 represents balance and the infinite dance of things coming in and going out.

The Universe is always sending us signs and messages. There are so many ways to hear Spirit. Be open. The more open you are, the more you will get answers. This can take time. Patience and trust elevates reception. Asking for signs and spiritual guidance opens up the phone lines to Heaven. It’s comforting to know we are never alone. Even though we feel that way sometimes, Heaven is waiting on the line.

Goosebumps When they aren’t from the cold, goosebumps are a sure sign that what we have just seen, felt or heard is resonating as truth within us.

Goosebumps or angel bumps as they are sometimes called, are an electrical signal in our bodies confirming a deep truth, kind of like an intuitive sign felt all through our skin.

You may have had the experience of talking to a close friend about another person who is going through something difficult. Your deep concern and their need for help is confirmed by the both of you getting goosebumps.

You might feel goosebumps when visited by a loved one who has passed on. In my intuitive readings this comes up a lot. Feeling a breeze as if someone just walked by and no one is there, is a sign that your loved one is with you. Getting

Do It with Love

as well. This enables us to respond from unconditional love and with higher intelligence, bringing a positive influence to the circumstance.

By Eve Wilson

My husband says, “Love is a choice.” I love that! It is a choice; it is also the true core of who we are. But since humans are complex, we often have reactions to people and circumstances which are much less enlightened! To choose love genuinely can be a challenge sometimes.

I remember growing up in the 1960s when children were told to, “Say you’re sorry and make up”…just like that…”make up”.

Well, it didn’t work! Still many of us learned to smile and put a good face on things and “be loving”. But we were not loving and being true to ourselves, so it wasn’t really loving. Often it was giving our power away, burying our truth and not getting our own needs met.

To love others truly, we have to first love and be true to ourselves; one of the most challenging tasks we as humans face. It is perhaps the most essential skill to develop on our journey toward wholeness, and a worthy goal for each moment.

Isn’t it a wonderful thing then, that life gives us so many challenges to achieving this goal? Ah, the work-out gym of life that makes us stronger every day!

It can be extremely challenging to love ourselves and others when people are being hateful. This is where life tests the mettle of our willingness to love and be whole. I add to be whole, because to whatever degree we fear, hate or judge, we are separated from our wholeness. When circumstances conspire to make us hate another, we become hateful; that is the greatest challenge to overcome. When we are less than loving, we need to be compassionate and loving to ourselves so we can regain unity with our true core of love. In this way, we find the compassion we need to love others unconditionally too.

Unconditional love is enlightened love; it overcomes hatred and fear. It is the opposite of “making up”… it is gritty, challenging and meaningful. It paves the way to wholeness, opens potentials for growth, and brings true resolution to problems. Unconditional love begins with self-honesty, and leads to self-compassion. These naturally link with Higher Self and Higher Power, allowing love to influence circumstances for the greater good of all.

Even if we don’t remember to choose love until after we have reacted and then calmed down, we can still rework the energy around the situation retroactively. By re-imagining our response, we can allow love to release the toxic elements of a situation and bring healing and productive change. Others will then find it easier to let go of their negativity then as well.

The power of unconditional love to heal what has already happened is amazing! In order to respond with love to yourself and others in the present, it is sometimes necessary to give love and compassion to yourself and others in the past. Where we have stuffed our feelings, and cut off our lower nature in order to be nice, our power of love is crippled. Unconditional love requires us to stand up for ourselves sometimes; but where our power is stuffed, that can be impossible. When we gain some strength in our self-love and self-compassion, we begin freeing ourselves from the prison of being disempowered by being “too nice” in our past.

Speaking truth from unconditional love is incredibly powerful, and disarms negativity! It isn’t the words so much, as the energy we put out when we do it from love. It can take work to get through the fear, judgment, anger and hatred to be able to do so. Toward this goal, it can be really helpful to practice.

For instance, writing a series of practice letters to a person until the toxic energy is gone and the words come out clear, true and loving is an effective tool. The first draft can hold all the nasty and clever things we want to say to them! The second draft can edit that into a non-inflammatory way of speaking our truth. The final draft can carry a tone of compassion, love and respect. Then we can either send the letter, or not. We may choose to speak to the person or not. Sometimes the inner work is enough to change the balance of a situation and allow things to resolve for the better. Sometimes it is necessary to communicate through a letter or in person. Either way it can be done with dignity, love, respect and compassion for ourselves and others.

Acting with unconditional love, centers us within our true self.

It frees us to move forward with success in new and important directions in our lives and relationships.

Eve Wilson

Each of us is capable of unconditional love, but it is a choice we must make over and over again. Each time we find ourselves afraid, angry, jealous, hateful or judging we can choose to pause before reacting. We can take a step back from a situation, allow Higher Self and Higher Power to awaken love and compassion toward ourselves; then welcome it for others

The World Without Flying Saucers Lifeless

By Chrissie Blaze

One of my favorite topics is UFOs, or Flying Saucers. I have not only studied the topic for over 30 years but have, since the 1980s, been involved in the international promotion of the truth about UFOs through television and radio, articles and lectures. I was involved in launching a UFO hotline at The Aetherius Society in London, England, which succeeded in drawing attention to this vital subject, and we received many hundreds of phone calls and UFO sightings.

I hope you might attend the lecture, The World Without Flying Saucers – Lifeless! on March 23 (see ad for details) because I want to convince you that the topic of UFOs is one of the most vital - and extremely hopeful - topics facing humanity today. I am not alone in this belief and many of the astronauts, for example, would concur. In fact, astronaut Gordon Cooper, one of the seven original astronauts in Project Mercury, the first manned space program of the United States said, “I believe that these extraterrestrial vehicles and their crews are visiting this planet from other planets.”

Gordon Cooper was not alone in his belief and many more astronauts have spoken out about UFOs. The late Dr. Edgar Mitchell, a NASA astronaut and the sixth person to walk on the moon, was also intersted in UFOs, consciousness and paranormal phenomena. On his way back to earth during the Apollo 14 flight, he had a powerful raise of consciousness and also claimed to have conducted private ESP experiments with his friends on earth. He was also the founder of the Institute of Noetic Sciences for the

purpose of consciousness research and other related phenomena. You may wonder what consciousness has to do with UFOs. In fact, everything; there are masses of evidence that the Intelligences who man these Craft are far more advanced and enlightened – spiritually, scientifically, technologically – than we are on earth.

They have much to share with us and want to do this – but for karmic reasons – we have to take the first step.

Dr. Mitchell publicly expressed his opinions that he was, “Ninety percent sure that many of the thousands of UFOs, recorded since the 1940s, belong to visitors from other planets.”

Dateline NBC conducted an interview with Mitchell on April 19, 1996, during which he discussed meeting with officials from three countries who claimed to have had personal encounters with extraterrestrials. He offered his opinion that the evidence for such “alien” contact was “very strong” and “classified” by governments, who were covering up visitations and that UFOs had provided “Sonic engineering secrets” that were helpful to the U.S. government.

My husband, Gary and I were fortunate to have met and dined with Dr. Mitchell, while we were speaking at a conference in London. However, even more fortunate than this meeting was the meeting we both had with the Founder of The Aetherius Society, Dr. George King. He not only introduced us to the topic of UFOs in the 1970s, but became our Spiritual teacher for over twenty years.

Dr. King’s interest began after practicing many different systems of yoga for ten hours a day over ten years until he gained mastery. In 1954, he received his first extraterrestrial contact and is one of the few genuine ET Contactees.

Over many years, and until his passing in 1997, he received over six-hundred messages or Cosmic Transmissions

24 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 2017

that were recorded on tape and are stored for future generations. Like all genuine Contacts, the messages were not given to an individual, or even a group of individuals, but to humanity as a whole. These Cosmic Transmissions are all designed to help all men and women whatever their belief system, to move forward in their evolution. They gave prophecies in the beginning to help establish proof, and later spoke of earth changes that are taking place now – decades before they happened. They have given wisdom and profound spiritual truths in the form of The Nine Freedoms and The Twelve Blessings, and much more.

In this lecture, we will focus on UFOs throughout history from pre-Biblical times to today, as well as on the incredible help humanity has and is receiving from the Intelligences who man these Craft. I shall share personal experiences I have had while involved in the promotion of UFOs, such as a rock “not of this world” that was left behind after a contact in Russia.

I was on the phone with the Russian news agency, Pravda, over several days and got the entire rundown of what happened. As usual, very little was ever seen in the Western press.

This lecture will also delve into Extraterrestrial Contacts - what this means, where they are from and – the most important question of all - why they are here.

Chrissie Blaze is a spiritual teacher and author of eleven published books. She is a regular media guest, international speaker and priest in The Aetherius Society.

She was a disciple of Spiritual Master and Founder of The Aetherius Society, Dr. George King, for 25 years until his passing in 1997. Blaze continues to promote his work, teachings and mission.

You Are More Connected and Powerful Than You Know

By David Krajovic

It was 1997 at the University of Geneva in Switzerland that an experiment was run that forever changed the world. A photon (a small atomic particle of light) was split into two identical parts. The particles were sent in two different directions each for a distance of seven miles. At that point, they could go either left or right. Conventional physics says the results would be random. To the astonishment of the world’s scientists, it was anything but random. What one did, the other did instantaneously without the passing of any time. Impossible, but there it is.

This was proof of quantum entanglement and has been repeated many times over. Taking this further they found that when you affect one particle, the other is equally and instantaneously affected despite being separated by vast differences. Physicists have also observed this in galaxies.

Two galaxies created at the same time and despite being light years apart, what happens to one instantly happens to the other. While this may surprise scientists, the esoterics are not surprised but are inwardly smiling that science is catching up to what they intuitively and intimately know already.

At the time of the creation of the Universe, scientists tell us that all matter was condensed in an incredibly compact space about the size of a pea. It held unfathomable energy. When the big bang occurred, this matter fragmented into an infinite number of particles. What was once one was now split into many. And by extension, just like in the experiment at the University of Geneva, what affects one affects the all. If we are all formed from stardust, then we are part of the beginning and we are connected to everything and everyone.

Stop for a minute. Take a deep breath and breathe in the significance of that. We are all connected. We are all one.

Science has proved that what we do to one we do to the other.

I don’t think we really understand how profound this really is.

The ancient Vedas tell us this, the Native Americans know this, religions teach this and yet our actions continue to support the view that we are separate. It is my hope that science helps us awaken further and deeper to this truth and helps reach those who may not yet believe we are one.

This means we are not victims. We have tremendous power to change the world. Uplift your consciousness and everyone is uplifted. Do unto others as you would have them do unto you.

Where have we heard that before? The Golden Rule is based on us being connected to each other. This means that what you do to another you are doing to yourself. This is the Law of Karma in action. And this is what is meant by Give that Which You Wish to Receive.

MARCH 2017

All spiritual teachings and concepts come back to one underlying truth, we are all one. Even still this is hard for us to digest at a level that makes a difference because the body’s physical senses tell us and the mind’s conclusion is that it is not true.

This is why it is paramount that we go within to have a different kind of experience, one that overrides the conclusions of the mind and body. This is where we connect to our Source, to our oneness and to each other. When you do so, you will be uplifted to new and higher states of consciousness; new awarenesses will be revealed and the result for you will be more ease, peace and joy.

Smile on your brother.

Everybody get together.

Try to love one another. Right now.”

Clean Your Colon, Save Your Life!

Have you ever heard the expression “death begins in the colon”? That statement is credited to Russian scientist, Elie Metchnikoff, who won the Nobel Prize in 1908 for his discoveries concerning the immune system.1 As it turns out, it’s very true. Our digestive tract is the “sewer system” of our body, and that system requires regular cleaning if we are to enjoy good health.2

One supplement I highly recommend for colon health is DEVA Vegan Colon Assist capsules. One capsule a day provides a synergistic blend of fruits, herbs, fiber, and magnesium, which will draw water to the colon, bulk up the stool, and get things moving. As with all DEVA products, the capsules are 100% vegan and are registered by the Vegan Society.

Aside from improving your overall health, colon cleansing will provide you with more stamina as your system efficiently converts the food you eat into usable energy. And, as an added bonus, you’ll enjoy clearer, healthier skin.

Given the link between a clean colon and strong immune system, it’s safe to say that regular colon cleansing may just be the key to a longer and healthier life.

According to the FDA, an American male may be carrying 5 to 22 pounds of fecal matter in his colon on a given day.

Autointoxication is the process whereby the body literally poisons itself by maintaining a cesspool of decaying matter in the colon. The toxins released by the decay can get into the blood stream and travel to all parts of the body. Every cell in the body can be affected and many forms of disease can result.

The holistic health pioneer, Dr. John Harvey Kellogg, said that “Ninety percent of the diseases of civilization are due to improper function of the colon.” 3

John Chetcuti is a vegan of 30 years and owner of Atom’s Green Market, a natural products wholesaler.

He was president and co-founder of the Michigan Vegan Society and has a certificate in Plant-Based Nutrition from Cornell University. Retailers, for wholesale information, call (313) 300-7709

Some disorders that have been linked to an unclean or toxic colon are:

______________________________

Irritable Bowel Syndrome Inflammation Cancer Stomach pain Lack of energy Parasite infections Bloated belly Gas Bad breath Hemorrhoids Yeast infections

Diverticulosis Constipation Polyps Ulcers Crohn’s disease Varicose veins Headaches Brain fog Allergy/sinus problems Anxiety Skin problems

Autopsies reveal that the colons of 80% of people who have passed away are clogged up with waste material. This waste material gives parasites an ideal place to live, and all too often they severely damage the cells in our bodies.2 The typical American diet, low fiber intake, lack of exercise, inadequate water consumption, and stress all contribute to the problem of improper elimination. The good news is that we can help to reverse this situation with proper nutrition, exercise, colonics, and herbal supplements.

*Information and statements regarding dietary supplements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration and DEVA products are not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

“I believe that imagination is stronger than knowledge. That myth is more potent than history. That dreams are more powerful than facts. That hope always triumphs over experience. That laughter is the only cure for grief. And I believe that love is stronger than death.”

Olympian Michael Phelps Swears by Cupping, Should You Try It?

condition. It is highly recommended to have an experienced and licensed Acupuncturist diagnose any problems before you try Cupping therapy.

Prof. Liu also specializes in the treatment of numerous conditions, including: weight loss, stopping unhealthy cravings (nicotine, drug, sugar), Sciatica pain, migraine, infertility, tendonitis, arthritis, asthma, allergies, diabetes, fatigue, insomnia, ulcers, skin problems, addictive disorders and much more.

By Roy Liu, C.M.D.

Cupping therapy and Acupuncture have thousands of years of history in China. Cupping is a therapy in which a jar (‘cup’) is attached to the skin’s surface for a few minutes, creating a suction which causes local ‘congestion’, pulling blood to a region which stimulates healing.

This happens via the removal of air in the jar. This method has the function of warming and promoting the free flow of Qi and blood in the channels, diminishing swelling and pain, dispelling cold, toxins and blockages. It promotes relaxation, improved health and well-being.

Cupping therapy is mainly used to treat arthritis, sports injuries, various nervous conditions, diseases in the gastrointestinal region and the region of the lungs. According to the traditional Chinese Medicine theory, after Cupping, the local area becomes flushed or appears bruised. This is a normal

Prof. Roy Liu earned his degree in Chinese Medicine (C.M.D.) at the Chinese Medicine College of Najing, and his degree in Western Medicine (M.D.) at the medical school of Souzhou. He trained under three of the most renowned Chinese Herbalist and Pharmacologists, and conducted research at the Chinese Medicine Institute and Teaching Hospital for over 14 years.

In 1989, Prof. Liu came to Canada and opened “Joy of Herbs”, the first Chinese Acupuncture and Herb Clinic in Windsor, Ontario. In 1996, he expanded his practice to the U.S. and in 2002 was asked by Henry Ford Hospital to help them establish the Center for Complementary and Integrative Medicine located in Novi, MI. Prof. Liu is the first Chinese Medicine Doctor at Henry Ford Hospital. In addition to Cupping therapy, his wide range of healing therapies include Acupuncture, Chinese Herbal Medicine, Acupressure and Massage.

He is located at 23700 Orchard Lake Rd., Farmington Hills, MI. To set an appointment or if you have any questions, please contact Roy Liu, CMD, at 248-880-0265. For more information visit: www.joyofherb.org

On Death and Dying

By Ray Fraser

My work at Mystiques~West brings me into frequent contact with people who have experienced the death of a friend, family member or loved one. They’ll say, “I lost my mom last April.” The term lost is inappropriate due to the fact that they aren’t L O S T. Their physical life has ended, but as I tell so many, “I have found them.” Those folks who are trying to find peace after the death of a significant person in their life, most often would like the assurance that the departed have arrived in Paradise safely and are doing OK. When we return to spirit, we enter a state of all knowledge, so your loved ones know what you need to hear. Often they bring reassurance to us in a dream, or through séance. Even if you have not been contacted by your dearly departed, you may rest assured they are wonderful. If you can find a copy of Ruth Montgomery’s, “The Unobstructed Universe” as channeled by Arthur Ford, you will receive a great sense of enlightenment about life beyond our physical existence.

Here’s what I know from spirit communications. When you arrive in spirit, you are received by friends, family members and loved ones who have preceded you in death. After what I have deemed a “Grand Reunion” we have a life’s review in which every action in our life is reviewed and evaluated. Part of our “state of all knowledge” incorporates what we have learned from our life review.

The Natural Law, The law of attraction, will draw us to those souls who are on the same spiritual frequency as we are. Also, there is no jealousy there. Spirit recognizes the needs of our society and that we are generally better off if we are “coupled.”

Those with multiple marriages or deep romances needn’t worry, since spirit is a perfect existence, those there can only wish for your happiness while remaining in the physical expression.

The temperature is perfect for our needs, and there is generally a musical background. Also, all your pets will be there to greet you, and even though time has passed since you were separated, they will remember you.

As to your appearance, you can look any way you want, any age, any size. Of course if you faced a physical damage while living, or a mobility problem, it will be completely erased. Your spiritual body will remain intact and perfect. We know that feelings are far more intense there, so when you are reunited with your soul mate you will find a fulfillment you have never

imagined possible, and a love that is deeper than you could conceive.

What of hell? This answer may get me some conflict, but from what I can determine, there is no such place as hell. In my 40 plus years as a spirit medium, I have conducted hundreds of séances, and I know many other mediums, some with a longer practice than myself, never once has any spirit ever come through and said, “Help me, I’m in hell.”

What spirit usually shows is a complete spiritual body; if the person suffered before death they’re shown restored and vibrant. In my early years of spiritual discovery, I did a lot of reading about those persons who had experienced a near-death experience. Do you know that not a single one, no, not even one, wanted to come back to the physical plane. They were amazed at the sense of peace they felt, and had no desire to return. They were surrounded by loved ones, beautiful music, and a sensation of completeness.

All were told that it wasn’t their time yet, and they had to return – even against their desires.

I tell my clients, your loved one is in paradise. It’s like the Disneyworld of your dreams. They still love you and want to let you know they are happy and doing well. They will talk to you. Death is simply the final step in our physical expression.

It doesn’t need to be feared, and YES, your friends, family members or loved one are doing well.

Why not join us on a Wednesday night at Mystiques~West! 36356 Ford Road, Westland. 734729-8019. Our public séance begins promptly at 7:00 PM. Ray Fraser is the owner of Mystiques~West Psychic Reading Center, in Westland. Call: 734-7298019 or visit: www.mystiqueswest.net

Actually, we have no problems we have opportunities for which we should give thanks...

An error we refuse to correct has many lives.

It takes courage to face one's own shortcomings and wisdom to do something about them.

Are You Prepared for a Miracle?

provide examples. This is why it is very important to not ask dis-empowering ‘why’ questions such as, “Why are people so stupid?”, or “Why do people hate me?”

Life will answer your request whether it is positive or negative. Keep asking, “Why did this happen?” and your mind will invent more and more reasons such as: “You had bad parents” or “Your are not worthy”.

By Barbra White

I was in a motorcycle accident while in Mexico to teach at a world consciousness gathering.

I should not have survived.

Right before the accident I asked the Angels and Earth Mother to protect me. I saw the Angels surround me and I felt Earth Mother send her protective silver energy. The instant after I asked for protection, the motorcycle crashed into the pavement at 40mph plus. I left with no road rash, no broken bones!!

Over the past twenty years seeing many miracles in my life and my students, I can say with 100% confidence: Angels, God, Your DREAMS and Your Divinity are REAL! Synchronicity or miracles are a natural symptom of surrendering to Love.

Love is a potent force that anyone can access through their inward availability.

Your divine gifts, miracles and dreams are real. You can live heaven on Earth if you are willing to let go, ask for help, and grow.

You must prepare yourself for a miracle to allow it to manifest. Choose a personal law. Cultivate your conviction moment by moment. Holding an inward law or personal absolute, you will feel less and less like a puppet to conditions and circumstances. As you make a choice to live into the laws of Love, Kindness, Prosperity etc., you will began to see that EVERY person and condition IS happening for your highest JOY. You will began to see life has ALWAYS been for you. As you open to what is always being given, you will realize you live in a conscious loving universe.

Traveling home from Mexico, I was struck by the radiant light from my

airplane stewardess named, Cat. Everyone was angry about the flight delays and extra baggage costs; yet she was able to shift almost everyone into joy. Cat’s authentic caring was infused into her every word and action.

I asked her, “What is your secret? Do you have a strong spiritual practice? How do you maintain your joy?” She looked at me surprised and said, “I live by a law.

There are laws. I am kind. As I follow this law I am ok with myself when I wake up. When my son makes a mistake, I ask him to apologize. When I make a mistake I apologize.”

Cat’s simple response, said so much. She was giving kindness from an inward choice, rather than outward impetus. The love she gave was detached from the outcome, and her kindness was not an approvalseeking sappy niceness. Demonstrated by her willingness to say, “I am sorry”, Cat was also choosing to be personally accountable and learn from life.

Another interesting fact, is that the moment I noticed Cat’s beautiful light, I was asking myself, “What would it mean to make faith as an absolute? What would it feel like to have absolute trust in this loving universe?”

As a daily spiritual practice, I ask empowering questions and allow the Divine to answer. I will re-ask these questions throughout the day and receive deeper and deeper realizations.

As I ask these questions, Life/God will

When faced with problems, reach for radical self love first and then begin to ask, “What wants to emerge from the issue?” New ways of thinking or a quality (confidence, compassion, etc.) will emerge in your awareness from empowering questions.

You will stumble. This is how we grow.

You will make mistakes. We are meant to. One of my personal laws that has carried me my whole life is a deep surrender to Love/Spirit/God. My life and work is not my own. I ask daily, “Love, where would you have me go, what would you have me do and with whom?”

I hold in my core a deep bow to the miracles, love, and beauty that is waiting to take hold. Authentic joy is a moment by moment practice...you can do it!!

The miracles, health, and opportunities are already there. Open up. It is already done. Through self love, and your inward law, you will began to see what is “behind the curtain”. Begin to see the good that is hiding behind your stories of blame and shame. Be more interested in Love, and less interested in who is right.

New Greenhouse Director at “Creative Health Institute” Provides Pure & Healthy Food!

By Benjamin Gasbarra

Hello, my name is Ben. I’m the new Greenhouse Director at Creative Health Institute. I’m also an experienced juicer and microgreen grower. Being from the Midwest, I know how important a good story is, so let me tell you a little about myself…

responsibility to share this with as many people as possible.

I first became interested in nutrition when I was 14 years old, and I began selling vitamins for a home-based business my parents were involved in. Once I realized that I wasn’t really getting the promised benefits, I began exploring other natural health modalities.

I tried everything from meditation to vegetarianism, from Ayurveda to Chinese herbs. Although I experienced some value from everything I tried and learned a lot along the way, I still felt something was missing. In college, I continued to search for the missing link, exploring every shelf of Whole Foods, researching and trying every supplement, tea, powder, and magic tonic on the market, but still feeling lost at sea.

I’m honored to be in a place with such a long legacy of service to wellness. I’m inspired by their resilient spirit and am excited to have the privilege of teaching you everything that I’ve learned about living a life of not merely surviving but rather thriving—both on the inside and the outside.

Enter, wheatgrass and sprouts. These primal, essential, superior foods quickly became my main squeeze—literally!

After experiencing their powerful benefits, I began growing them in my home and making green juices daily.

These little micro-greens are nutritional powerhouses full of vitamins, minerals, enzymes, and chlorophyll that even offer a stimulating effect, much like coffee, but with none of the jitters or crashes.

As a lifelong experimenter I have searched for the best; the things in life that are simple, easy, and yet very powerful. As far as food goes, this is it. And once I realized this, I felt a MARCH 2017

That is why I joined the staff at the Creative Health Institute where wheatgrass, sprouts, and other superfoods are the cornerstone of the food pyramid.

We live in an exciting time where more and more people are becoming aware of the importance of nutrition and digestive health. And I can safely say that if you’re not yet a believer, after experiencing the taste and aliveness as well as the pure and satisfying food grown in our greenhouse, and the resulting strength of body and clarity of mind, you will be!

Come by and see me in the greenhouse!

I look forward to meeting you!

Ben Gasbarra As Greenhouse Director at Creative Health Institute, Ben is in charge of growing wheatgrass and sprouts for CHI and loves sharing his knowledge through lectures and informal conversations on whole foods, hand cranking juice for maximum nutrients as well as sourcing and growing micro-greens and sprouts. 847 922-8558.

Shaping the Invisible

and it is unique to you and very beautiful.

I feel blessed that I can use my gifts of art to give people a visual of their spirit guides or personal spiritual maps. It is never an easy task to accept and love who you are or even begin the journey of self discovery, but it is extremely rewarding. You are not alone. As I said before, be brave as you discover your own language or intuition or develop your skills. You are here for a reason and the way you “see” is exactly what this planet needs.

By Wendy Fournier

If you are reading this you probably already have a knowing of things that can’t necessarily be seen or explained. You probably feel as if there is a whole other world out there that the contemporary world won’t fully acknowledge without science to back it up. Maybe you are just beginning to understand your own abilities of seeing and knowing, but want help or guidance to fully embrace who you are? Or, maybe you feel confident with who you are and where you are going. Regardless, we are entering a new age where our own abilities are expanding into the unknown, where new ways of seeing and healing are being developed and discovered.

Maybe you have experienced some of these heightened gifts?

This might not be new to you, but there is a reality that exists beyond the boundaries of our five senses. Our brain is a computer that is programmed to see, smell, hear, taste and feel within a particular range. Some people’s ranges differ than others and science is beginning to understand this. For example, some people can sense things about situations and people, to know whether it is good or bad. Some people can see auras. Others can hear spirit talk to them. There are dreamers, who dream what is to come. There are many other forms and abilities to shape the invisible, these are just a few. Everyone I have ever met has varying degrees of some or at least one of these abilities.

We all have internal dialogue with ourselves; it is part of being human and we each have developed different ways to survive, absorb and adapt, and filter this reality.

As we enter into this new age where anything is possible, I empower you

to remember who you are. We are our ancestors. We are the masters. We are meant to be great. Maybe it is you that is meant to develop a new way to heal? A new way to see? Find a solution for any problem? It is in this new age that we have to learn to trust in these skills that shape the invisible that will take us to the next level.

I have learned that I can “see” and talk to spirit when I paint and draw. It started out slowly; the only thing I knew is that I felt connected and felt God in the beginning. As I developed as an artist, I began to fully express that communication in my art. It was truly only possible for me because I worked on all aspects of myself. I became healthy in relationships, I healed my body. I began to listen to myself in a lot of ways. In this way I became more connected, and through that a better channeler and artist.

Everything is connected.

A painting unfolds in front of me in a magical way. In a way, I am told what to do next, I “see” it in my brain, in almost like a dream state. The more I developed and practiced it, the more open I have become to channel the information coming through. This was a perfect way spirit communicated to me and it’s effortless. It is different for every single person and is meant to be perfect for that person, so don’t expect yours to be the same as your friends or someone you read about. It is up to you to figure it out

Be True to You & Your Creativity

By Abby Lippitt

You’ve worked hard, giving it your all and creating something beautiful! You feel very pleased with your results and are confident that you will succeed, but you can’t quite understand why others don’t feel the same.

The scenario above is something quite common. Not everyone is going to feel the same way about your work that you do; this is because everyone is different, and due to those differences people have diverse tastes about what they like and dislike. As a result, what you feel is good, others may have a contrary opinion. That doesn’t mean your artwork is bad or that you failed, it just means that you have yet to arrive at your desired destination.

Art and creativity are your very personal expressions of who you are as an individual. If you are happy with your work that’s all that really matters. First and foremost, be true to you.

If for some reason you are not happy with your work and feel you need improvement, or perhaps you desire to pursue art seriously, then consider getting outside professional opinions from artists that you admire. Having critiques of your work can sometimes be very beneficial and help you grow as an artist. You may also want to consider brushing up on your skills, either by self-practice or finding classes or even watching tutorials.

In lots of cases, all that’s needed is for you to expand your audience by trying new venues to exhibit your work. It’s important to have patience, as much as you would like to have your work discovered overnight! Sometimes it takes a little bit longer than you might have desired. As long as you love what you are doing, are diligent and keep up your creative practice, you can’t help but succeed!

Quantum Spiritual Horoscope

By Aluna Michaels, M.A. Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20) — Happy birthday Pisces! Give yourself the gift of healed self-esteem. You’re the only one who can re-wire yourself to receive the abundant love around you.

Meditate to heal old experiences that “prove” it’s not safe to open your heart.

Picture love washing through you. You’ll be able to change patterns, while still having discernment about what’s right for you (so you can say no to people or circumstances!) Also look squarely at finances to repair “leaks” and feel worthy enough to draw prosperity in!

Aries (March 21 – April 19) — Venus, the planet of love, self-worth and finances, is retrograde in your sign.

Venus retrogrades the least of any planet, and the last time this happened in Aries was 2009! From now until mid-April, meditate on releasing “issues” that have built up in Venusian areas these past eight years. You can have a true change of consciousness that heals your world, or makes good stuff even better! Look for areas where you feel you’ve been wronged, and allow other perspectives into your mind.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20) — Confident Mars moves into your sign, giving you courage to make changes and have new beginnings! Venus retrograde also gives insights into your subconscious blocks to emotional or financial abundance.

Meditate with an open mind and take note of little ideas that pop up, even throughout the day after your quiet time.

Something simple or seemingly silly can hold a key to huge healing! You can also have health improvements in an area you thought was permanent.

Gemini (May 21 – June 20) — Venus retrograde wants you to be less analytical. You’re so smart and see many sides to things, but that can make you

unhappy because you’re less likely to feel emotionally present in experiences and relationships. Being in your head causes you to find or exaggerate faults instead of feeling joy. Meditate to practice “being” rather than thinking. When you come upon a strong belief, ask yourself if it is possible a different conclusion exists.

Then open your focus to include that option.

Cancer (June 21 – July 22) — Working hard with no recognition? This is the month you’ve been waiting for!

Open your heart to receive the praise, promotion, new job or bonuses that are due you! Meditate to release any stories of resentment or unworthiness. These are just repetitive thoughts that seem real, but are not the truth of you or of your situation, as these new experiences will prove. But you need to be ready to view this month’s blessings without suspicion or caution. Plan time with spiritual, positive, inspiring friends who move toward their goals. Confront limiting beliefs, even if inherited from family — you can move beyond those ideas to a better reality!!

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22) — Create a balance of spirituality and “real life”.

This can mean applying yoga principles at work or with family. Practice seeing others (and also yourself!) through eyes of compassion. Make time for a short meditation at work, even just taking a few deep centering breaths in the privacy of the bathroom. Read books on money and spiritual energy. This type of integration will draw amazing people toward you, as well as lift your spirits and bring solutions to challenges!

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22) — Venus retrograde has an eight year cycle.

This month, meditate to release disappointment in intimacy or finances.

Also forgive experiences of betrayal and broken trust. Even ponder any deaths in the past eight years. Opening old wounds helps them heal more fully and opens you to new depths in relationships, sexuality, spirituality and prosperity. The

wonderful sense of connection you’ll have at the end of Venus retrograde (Mid-April) will make it worth the journey!

Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22) — Your ruling planet, Venus, turns retrograde March and April. You’ll open to new joy and bonding in long-term partnerships, or start a wonderful new relationship if single. Meditate to find subconscious blocks to commitment and connection.

As a Libra, part of your spiritual path is learning balance in relationships in order to heal your heart and your soul. Forgive past errors on your part or those of others to be able to receive the love that is surrounding you now and in the future!

Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) — Meditate about being frustrated with yourself about changes you need to make, but haven’t taken steps to correct. Venus retrograde wants you to examine stress-relief resources and your ability to self-soothe.

Are you nurturing yourself with healthy foods, rest and quiet reflection time? Or are you using substances like caffeine, sugar, or being overly busy to drive yourself? Being gentle releases tension in relationships, and opens you to better work opportunities. Pushing less hard creates more success in all areas!

Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) — You’re generally very optimistic and positive. Venus retrograde asks you to meditate and find disappointments or frustrations with love, children or friends that have impacted your joyous nature the past eight years. You can gloss things over, but the pain might be buried and needs to surface and truly heal. This make current relationships better, or draws in awesome new ones.

A new work project or job can pop up unexpectedly. Your internal compass is back on track and leads you to happy adventures!

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) — It may sound strange, but this Venus retrograde helps with childhood issues that you project onto authority figures. Meditation reveals unconscious vulnerabilities

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 2017

that cause emotional reactions at work with superiors, or other people who intimidated you. You might even have the same triggers in romantic relationships.

It feels like your partner has power over you since you’re vulnerable there too.

Work and love will improve. Also a deep, unsettling anxiety or fear of failure that constantly lurks in your mind will lift!

Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) — Mastering the mind is a huge goal as an Aquarian! Venus retrograde wants you to ask yourself constantly, “Is this thought loving to me?” And it is not loving if thoughts create fear, obsession, worry or distraction from the joy of the present moment (that’s a big Aquarius issue, thinking about life rather than experiencing it by feeling it!) Practice being truly connected to people and events. Gratitude lists can help. And be patient with your busy mind in meditation — don’t give up trying to have moments of mental peace!

Building Strong Relationships Through Integrity

By Gwendlyn Esco Davis

Integrity of others, and ourselves, results in building and sustaining authentic relationships. Hence, when we assess past relationships -- absent of integrity -- we uncover fragments of broken relationships and broken promises; it’s when we tried to jump into effective relationships without the maturity or the strength of character to maintain them.

We simply have to travel along the pathway of life lessons. We can’t be successful with other people if we haven’t paid the price of success with ourselves. We can’t benefit from the beautiful shade trees lining the pathway without the tree roots.

The place to begin building any relationship is inside of us -- our own character. As we become independent, proactive, centered in correct principles, value driven and able to organize and execute around the priorities in our life with integrity, we can then choose to become interdependent.

When we are not present with ourselves and instead listen to others telling us who we are or what we should be, this will eventually cause conflict with the inner-self. The end result will cause in almost all relationships, difficulties that are rooted in conflicting or ambiguous expectations around our roles and life goals.

We also, create many negative situations by simply assuming that our expectations are self-evident and that they are clearly understood and shared by others. The missed benefits of not knowing self, is that when expectations are not clear and shared, people begin to become emotionally involved and simple misunderstandings become compounded, turning into personality clashes and communication breakdowns.

Once you have built character with yourself, only then can you become capable of building rich, enduring, highly productive relationships with others.

One of the most important ways to manifest integrity is to be loyal to those who are not present. In doing so, we build the trust of those who are present. When you defend those who are absent, you retain the trust of those present.

Integrity is an interdependent reality; you treat everyone by the same set of principles. As you do, people will come to trust you, although they may not at first appreciate the honest confrontational experiences such integrity might generate.

In building strong relationships through integrity, people will trust and respect you if you are honest and open and kind with them. You care enough to confront and to be trusted. In the long-run, I am convinced that the benefits of integrity are to be trusted and also to be loved.

The Silver Thread Trauma: Part III: Facing Our Demons

By Dr. Michael Abramsky

Traumas, conceptualized by western medicine-psychology, is a syndrome or collection of symptoms. Like medical symptoms, we seek to reduce or eliminate them.

Psychiatry will use drugs, usually anti-anxiety drugs, to extinguish the fear and feelings of dread that constitute trauma.

Psychologists have developed techniques such as flooding, desensitization, and insight as ameliorative tools for victims of trauma.

Eastern thought sees a different landscape. Eastern psychology does not focus on symptoms. Eastern Psychology is most preoccupied with internal states of mind. It sees trauma as a variety of fear, and a narrative state of mind which is constantly anticipating a future of disaster.

And while Western psychology advocates doing battle with our symptoms, Eastern psychology regards them as inherent parts of ourselves, a part that we must feed, not fight.

One school of Buddhist psychology sees our disruptive inner states as demons (maras in Sanskrit). Demons are energies that we experience every day, and in this sense, traumatic states are no different than any state of fear. The problem with disruptive internal states is that they drain our energy and prevent us from being truly awake. Treating them as symptoms and struggling with them feeds the symptoms, rather than quells them. Thus, Western approaches are likely to aggravate symptoms rather than help.

Buddhism offers many “practices� to transform trauma into harmony. One such practice sees trauma as a demon. One such demonic practice was developed by a female monk

44 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 2017

named Machig Labdron (1055-1145), and was called, Chod.

Chod involves five steps: 1) Find the Demon in Your Body: Identify the feeling which is draining your energy right now. As you think of a situation where this feeling manifested, scan your body. Where is the demon located in my body most strongly?

Describe its color, its shape, texture, its temperature.

2) Personify the Demon: Allow the demon to exit your body and take a form in front of you. See it with limbs, a face, nose, mouth, eyes. Notice size, color, gender, the look in its eyes.

Now speak to the demon: “What do you want? What do you need? How will you feel if you get what you need? What is your goal?”

3) Become the Demon: Switch places and become the demon. Close your eyes, and feel what it’s like to be the demon. How does it feel to be connected with an ally. How will you help me? Will you protect me? How can I access you?

Settle back into the ally’s body. Switch places and become the ally. How does it feel? How does your normal self look from the ally’s point of view?

Ask the ally for help, and reply as the ally. “How can I help you?…How will I protect you?...I pledge I will…You can enter me by?”

4) Feed the Demon and Meet the Ally: Settle back into your body and see the ally in front of you and feel its energy pouring into your body. Now imagine the ally dissolving into light. Notice its color. Feel it seeping into every cell of your body. Note the integrated feeling in your body. Now you, in this integrated state of being, also dissolve.

5) Rest in Awareness: Be in the present. Notice the calmness in your body. Maintain the energy of the ally in your body.

We suffer when our pain seems alien to us. When we see it as just another aspect of our being, suffering is temporary and our state of mind becomes filled with equanimity. (The Chod Technique was published in Lion’s Roar Magazine) Michael Abramsky 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.

Why Cleanse the Body?

By Sherry Yale, D.C.

Unfortunately, our environment is very toxic, far beyond what our bodies are made to deal with unassisted. Times are truly different. There are approximately 80,000 chemicals registered for use in the United States! The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention reports that hundreds of these chemicals are present in our bodies.

Did you know that traces of medications, for some time now, have been showing up in municipal drinking water in various areas? This is really horrible if you want to be drug-free!

Toxins can cause a wide variety of problems, including: Mental Fog Itchy Ears Skipped heartbeats Watery or Itchy Eyes Dark Circles Under Eyes

Low libido Problems Sleeping Restlessness Weak or Tired Feeling Stuffy Nose

There are many other possible symptoms as well. Toxicities can affect any part of our body, so how they make us feel is quite varied depending on the toxins, perhaps, but also on our own “weak links”, so to speak; those areas of the body that have an inherent weakness due to genetics, injuries, nutritional deficiencies or other factors.

In a proper cleansing program, we need to nourish the body and also help the organs of elimination, which include the liver, kidneys, small intestine and large intestine. It is not good enough to just do a colon cleanse; however, this is a very vital function and gives a place for the toxins being released to go and thereby be eliminated.

When our bodies become overly toxic, I do believe that our health cannot but be influenced badly. This is very obvious.

But think about any discomfort you’re having in your body. Do you know why you have them? Also, if you have an organ or glad which is a known problem, what made it go bad? A toxic body won’t even utilize nutrition properly. Therefore, before healing is possible, oftentimes cleansing needs to occur first.

If you’d like more information on cleansing, please feel free to contact us! Sherry Yale, D.C., TLC Holistic Wellness, Livonia. Call: 734-664-0339

Practicing Being the New You

By Miche Lame’

As you are beginning to realize who you truly are, Divine Love, how do you maintain connection with your true self? Maintaining connection with your true self allows you to be the best you that you can be.

So, how do you do this? Like anything else, by practicing.

Yes, the more you practice connecting and being your new self, the more you become your new self. Every time you enter into the vibration of your Divine Self, your own inner self, that vibration slowly becomes your normal vibration longer and longer, and in more and more situations when you would normally be stressed, you are able to maintain your inner love and calm.

The most important practice to remember is your breath.

Your breath is the link to the divine. Take the time to practice breathing deep into your belly for a count of four. Hold for a count of four, then slowly release for a count of four, and pause for a count of four. I recommend you start by practicing this at least three times in the morning when you first get up and when you are getting ready to go to sleep. Do your best to envision Divine healing love and light coming in, and anything negative releasing.

As you become used to the deep breathing, and gain the muscle memory, you can begin practicing this deep breathing once an hour, then every time you want to take a pause. Like at a stop sign, in line at the grocery store, anywhere you desire inner peace.

My favorite practice when I was first starting was to stop anytime I was near a mirror, place my hand on my stomach, and take in a deep breath, watching my hand come out with the inhale, and in with the exhale.

Another practice to connect and be your best self, is to meditate daily. You can meditate just by using your deep breathing. Focusing on your breath is a fine meditation. You can also choose a guided meditation. There are many sources for techniques, including some great apps to practice the art of meditation. Practicing meditation is a mindful way to connect with the Divine. And, as mentioned above, every time you connect with your divine self, it gets easier and easier, faster and faster, and changes your vibration to become more and more aligned with the Divine; assisting you in mindfully being your best self, the new you that you want to be.

These are the two most popular ways to practice being the new you that you wish to be, and create a firm foundation to grow on. As practice makes connection easier, you can start to mindfully take the deep, divine breath to calm yourself in any moment, connect with your center, your Divine self, and in the pause, choose your actions and responses that are in alignment with your new vibration and your new you. Choosing mindfully who you want to be, moment by moment so that you can enjoy life on your terms, being the you that you want to be.
