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! ~Howard & Penny Golden We welcome your contributions in the form of articles, comments and opinions.

Releasing the Shadow: Embracing the Light Have you ever tried boxing with your own shadow? Or called it a few choice names because it wouldn’t stop following you around? Some psychiatrists consider the shadow the dark side of human nature. Our beautiful country has seen a rise in violence, mass shootings in public places and suicides – results of the dark side, or shadow. Unity of Livonia is pleased to present a transformational program designed to bring deep peace and healing. Who among us couldn’t use less stress and more peace in our lives? Dr. Shariff Abdullah’s 12-week program, Shadow to Light, or S2L, will be held Tuesdays, Sept. 5th through Nov. 21st from 7-9 p.m. Dr. Shariff Abdullah is a gifted writer, attorney, university professor, sought-after speaker, and a catalyst for societal and spiritual transformation. He takes inclusivity to the next level, and has developed a program that defines the shadow, defines its solution (The Light), and provides a much-needed action plan for change. It is no small task he tackles, but he plans to change society.
September 2017
Abdullah clarifies that the shadow is our own fear, it holds us back, it can even crush us to the point that we forget who we really are, and desperate, senseless actions are its result. The Light is the energy of the Divine within, it is our greatness, and moves us forward. Now is the time to change, to take action to change ourselves and our society. The opposing energy of inclusivity is polarization, an it’s “us versus them” philosophy which pervades this type of thinking. Each week includes a wide variety of activities: grounding, centering, physical movement, meditation, transformation declarations, videos and group dialogue. Four major themes of the shadow will be explored – “The Other,” Lack, Violence and Despair, which often reveal themselves in various negative patterns, leaving perpetrators and fallen victims in their path. Instead of being held prisoner by the Shadow of Violence which reveals itself as Fear, Isolation and Insecurity, we can welcome the Light of Peace and Security. There are two levels of participation to the S2L process – Catalyst Training with certification, or without. Non-certification costs $180, certification is $240. Space is limited. Fifty percent of the total cost will be donated to Commonway Institute for continuing the work of this program. Commonway is a nonprofit organization dedicated to creating a linked, global society for all peoples. Unity of Livonia is located at 28660 Five Mile Rd., Livonia, MI.

St. Jude’s Novena
Calmness…
May the Sacred Heart of Jesus be adored, glorified, loved & preserved throughout the world Now & Forever.
A gardener knows that even with a small bucket,
Sacred Heart of Jesus, Pray for us, St. Jude, worker of miracles, pray for us, St. Jude, helper of the hopeless, pray for us. Say this prayer 9 times a day; for 9 consecutive days. By the 8th day, your prayer will be answered. It has never been known to fail.
Publication must be promised. Hopeful, Bob

So small it only holds one drop of water, you can quench the thirst of one little seed (thought) And if done lovingly, it will magically open the vast, endless, timeless flow of the “River of Life” Allowing the next drop to come until the bucket runneth over with love, life and joy! ~PRG 2017

The Trickster Within: When Guidance Is Not Real By Tatiana Scavnicky
Some people seem to have an extraordinary talent in business. Inspired by how they feel in their gut, and making great deals, is second nature to them. Take for instance, the matchmaker in your inner circle. Born with wickedly good selective skills and talents, she’s the savant for creating the perfect pairing of partners. Possessing an uncanny sense of the potential ‘ideal matches’, she steers you away from the super-charismatic, attractive Friday night date who arrives late and kicks up red flags, towards the kind of person you really want to be with. The meaning of the word savant is someone who has profound and immense capacities or abilities beyond what is considered normal. On the flipside, they can significantly fall short in other areas of brain processing. Interesting right? I can’t help but think how much this relates to different intuitive styles. A clairvoyant person or clear-seer, might make a great designer or artist, but completely lack good problem solving or business skills. Or, the claircognizant clear-thinker, who has a hard time tuning into his or her gut. Here are some ways to know when your guidance could be off. True guidance will cheer you on from the sidelines, but will never guide you to be jealously competitive. It is true that people who are jealous or envious, are usually triggering something within us. We get activated by what they are up to, because ultimately we really want to be doing that same thing, or something close. Being motivated by being the best at something is healthy. True guidance would never tell you to do better because you are better than everyone else, and that they are beneath you. Authentic inner-guidance is never demeaning or hurtful. It should feel encouraging and supportive, spurring you on to pursue your passion or make a career move. It might inspire you to make an appearance at a work party you would normally not attend. Your inner-guru might gently say, “Hey, you need to show up at this function. This could be good for you. You are supposed to be there. Something good might happen.” You might get the sense that you’ll meet someone important there, or just end up having an amazing time bonding with co-workers. It feels good, light and positive. Unauthentic guidance would feel more like you really “should” go… because you are supposed to be there, but everything in your body is saying “no.” False guidance would disguise honor or commitment, in the pretense of obligation when it’s really not mandatory to be there at all. Beware of procrastination. Fake and untrue, real guidance would never sabotage your efforts to move forward on things you really feel you need to do. Consistent effort towards our dreams and goals makes us feel good and accomplished. Yes, it is true, that time off for fun, rest and relaxation is required, but your inner-guru would never September 2017

be your inner-saboteur. It wants you to succeed, and feel good about yourself and life. Finally, we know that gentle and positive repetitive thoughts and feelings are genuine guidance. Let’s say you’ve been getting hits or intuitive hunches to eat some dark chocolate daily. It is good for you! So you’ve gotten yourself some excellent organic, fair-trade dark chocolate with a high cocoa content of 70% – 90%, and you are loving it! After all, chocolate is rich in antioxidants and causes the positive release of pleasure endorphins. This is why it’s been given as a traditional Valentine’s Day gift. However ‘for-real’ guidance would not tell you to eat three huge pieces of chocolate cake, because chocolate is good for you. It might say one piece is perfect. Take some home for later. But not, eat all you want. Instead of feeling happily satisfied with a few pieces of good high-quality chocolate in the evening, knowing you are doing something great for your body and brain, (unless you are allergic of course) you are riddled with guilt, for going overboard and not stopping when your guidance said to after one piece of cake. I hope you have an even better sense of what pure guidance is. I want you to love and trust yourself deeply, because you are amazing! Enjoy that massage you’ve been meaning to get, and savor a daily exquisite café mocha.

There is a funny line that goes, “If you treated your friends the way you treat yourself, would you have any?” How do you treat yourself? Are you kind, loving and supportive to yourself, or do you put yourself down and beat yourself up? Are you your best friend or your worst enemy? In the Bible it is written, “Love your neighbor as yourself.” A critical part of this line is to love yourself. In fact, if you don’t love yourself, how could you possibly love another person? Loving yourself is extremely important. In fact, Louise Hay, well known author and lecturer, wrote, “I find there is only one thing that heals every problem and that is to love yourself.” If you love yourself, you are not going to do things that hurt you, such as smoking, overeating, becoming addicted to drugs or alcohol, etc. Another interesting point is that love is something we can choose. Just as you can choose anger or hatred or sadness, you can choose love. Since loving ourselves is so important, why don’t more of us do this? Many people, when growing up, received lots of negative messages, such as, “You’re not smart enough,” or “You’re not good enough,” or “You are not what your parents wanted,” or “You are lacking in some important area.” Many people have been physically or sexually abused. If these things happened to you, it would be very difficult to feel good about yourself. In addition, when you repeatedly hear negative messages, you start to believe them. These messages go into the subconscious part of your brain at a very young age, and as an adult, you are probably not even aware that they are affecting you. But they are, and they can cause a multitude of problems. They can prevent you from being successful in a career or having a satisfying relationship. They can interfere with your achieving happiness. You may feel you do not deserve to be happy or successful. With these beliefs, you will not be able to love yourself, and you will not accomplish all that you might.

Thus, it is imperative that you release these unhealthy patterns of belief and replace them with much healthier and more rational thoughts. The good news is that there are ways to eliminate these negative and self-destructive thoughts. One excellent method is with the use of hypnosis. Hypnosis deals with the subconscious part of the mind and can thus help you find what negative messages or beliefs are the root cause of your problems. Once you locate the origin of these beliefs, you can then challenge them and disprove them. You are then able to let them go and replace the negative messages with much healthier beliefs. There was a study done several years ago which compared hypnosis, psychoanalysis and behavioral therapy. The results of the study showed that of the three approaches, hypnosis worked much faster than the other two. With just a few sessions you can notice a significant improvement in your outlook, thus saving you time and money. Furthermore, hypnosis is safe and effective and is very relaxing and enjoyable. Many people expressed that they did not want to come out of the hypnotic state because they felt so good and free of worries. Imagine how much better you would feel if you believed you were loveable and capable, that you were good enough, and entitled to pleasure. Not only would you feel better about yourself, you would be able to accomplish so much more.

Déjà vu
While you are awake, you will get an eerie feeling that you went through this moment of time already. It’s a good possibility that you have indeed walked into the future in your dream state. And while you are in your waking state of mind, you are now experiencing it as a memory that you are reliving.
By Wendy Powers Nugent For decades, scientists have been trying to explain away what Déjà vu may be. There are many explanations for this phenomenon, but what is it really? The definition of Déjà vu is simply, A feeling of having already experienced the present situation. Have you ever experienced the feeling of repeating time? Have you lived this already or…was it a premonition? You can truly feel like you’ve already experienced a moment, just as if you’d lived it already. Some metaphysical theorists have reported that they think the experience is what happens when events from past lives merge into the present life; the idea that it might be about past lives is a matter of faith. Only a small percentage of people can remember their past lives on their own, but almost everybody remembers some of their dreams. The idea of reincarnation is more consistent with the modern neuroscience (Algorithmic Reincarnation), which through research concluded that no memories are passed from one life to the next. What is transferred is a set of signals that reflect states of consciousness. However, the research did not take into account regression hypnosis. I know that all events from your lives are stored in your sub-conscious mind. This is why Regression Hypnotherapy works in reviewing your past lives. There are many people who have experienced precognitive dreams, but most occurrences of déjà vu happen without the person having any sense of it, as they often do not remember their dreams. My theory is that we are receiving future events at times through our dreams, sometimes as a warning of what’s to come, but most of the time to show us future events. Such as in Einstein’s theory that, All time happens at the same time but in different dimensions. Which is why a psychic can see past, present and future. Sometimes it is very difficult to discern time while doing a reading, and one must take into consideration that we do have free will. I believe that we are shown the future or experience the future in a delta level of the sub conscious state (dreams). While awake, we experience a moment or event and believe that we have gone through this moment already. You may have moved into a future look at your life in your dream state, and are now experiencing it while awake. September 2017
The more scientific explanation is that it is memory stored in portions of the brain that are specialized for storing the past, present and future. According to neurological science, the frontal lobes are where the future is stored, the temporal lobes are concerned with the past, and the underlying, intermediate portions are recording the present. When each area of the brain is functioning in a normal state of consciousness, the feeling that “something is going to happen” will only come up when we are thinking about the future; past memories are usually triggered relating to a sensation, smell or picture of something that sends you off into memories of your past. When we are in the present time we experience from the amygdala part of the brain, which records the emotional tone or perceptions of an event. If you’ve had an adrenalin rush come over you from fear of being hit by a car, or that the airplane you are flying in might crash, you freeze in terror. We can find ourselves unable to scream or move. That is the amygdala at work. In conclusion, pay attention to your dreams, try to remember them while still in that foggy state before you fully wake-up. Then, write down all that you can remember, or tell someone immediately about your dream. You may be receiving precognitive visions or as most dreams, working out a situation in your life. Many writers wake-up in the middle of the night with a great idea for their book or screenplay. Interestingly, once their book or movie is released, uncanny events might be playing out in real time on the world stage. Which feels much like Déjà vu! We tap into the universal mind for wisdom and knowing of the past, present and future. In hypnosis, we can take the subconscious mind into past lives. But did you know you can also go into the future, while in the present? As a psychic, I do this all the time through my readings. Wendy Powers Nugent, Spiritual intuitive and discernment counseling.

Stone of the Month for the Crown Chakra By Jennifer Vanderwal
The crown chakra is located at the top of the head and is the last chakra in the seven chakra system. The Sanskrit name for the crown chakra is Sahasrara, which means thousand- fold. It is said that this chakra has a thousand petal lotus within it and governs over our thoughts and cerebral cortex. The color of the crown chakra is violet like the last color in the rainbow; some people use white which works well but I use violet because it is part of the natural color system that Creator gave us in the rainbows. The crown chakra helps us with expansion, understanding, learning, Goddess, God, intelligence, information, consciousness, divinity, awareness and emptiness. It awakens our understanding and our opening-up to all that is; knowing “I AM the Divinity within.” Just like our base chakra has many roots branching out from it connecting us in with the earth, our crown chakra has tendrils of consciousness branching out helping us perceive, assimilate and analyze infinite bits of information, each one being enfolded into our ever expanding matrix of understanding. Our operating system for our entire body-mind biocomputer is made up of our core beliefs. Fasting from foods is recommended when working with the crown chakra. Fasting has a lot of benefits; many cultures fast. A lot of people who eat Macrobiotics suggest fasting four times a year during each seasonal change. The tone for the crown chakra is “AUM” sounding like home but elongated like aaaa uuuu mmmm. Chanting this mantra will cleanse your auras and chakras, as well as open and energize your crown chakra. Shiva is a God who works directly with the crown chakra. There are a small handful of violet colored stones that can be used to help open, cleanse and balance the crown chakra. These are: Amethyst, a very spiritual stone, helping us with our spiritual attunement. It calms the mind, is beneficial in meditation, and helps alleviate pain, headaches and insomnia. Amethyst connects us with all universal wisdom and knowledge, strengthens our psychic abilities and enhances our communication with our guides and angels. Purple fluorite. Clear quartz opens the crown chakra with pure white light while strengthening our aura and connection to all that is. It’s beneficial when used in meditation and helps bring clarity and focus. It alleviates pain and brings overall health and balance to all four of our bodies and 12
chakras. Only one stone is needed; you can hold it in your aura or place it directly on the crown chakra for 5-10 minutes. Charoite, opens our crown chakra and psychic abilities, connecting us with the Creator, and helps us walk our path in service of the highest amount of divine love and light. Charoite ignites our passion for true spiritually. It helps us absorb magnesium and alleviates headaches and pain. Diamond, is one of the hardest crystals on earth and reflects to us our own power and strength. It has a rainbow white-gold light that it emanates, clearing and opening all of our chakras while filling us with joy and appreciation for all of life. Diamond is a powerful healing stone, bringing its radiant white-gold rainbow energies to help heal any dis- ease. An easy meditation you can use while holding the crystal in your hand or at your crown chakra is to sit in meditation, focusing on your breathing. As you inhale, bring your awareness to the top of your head. As you exhale, bring your awareness to the branches or roots coming out of the top of your head and extending out into the heavens and space. As you inhale, see and feel white spheres of light; these are the infinite numbers of information and understanding coming to you. Visualize and feel each branch filling-up with these white spheres of information, and then pouring into your crown. As you inhale, feel and see the crown chakra opening, expanding so you can bring in more light and information. As you exhale, allow all of your senses to be open to all information, sounds, visions, colors, images or anything else to come to you at this time, knowing it is in your highest and best interest. Continue focusing on your breath and with each inhale and exhale, just be aware of your connection to all that is. When you are done, get up gently, knowing you are one with everything. Often I am asked, How do I know if my chakras need to be balanced? Our chakras have their own defense system; any time there is any kind of stress or trauma, large or small, the chakra reacts. If we’ve lost our job or home, usually our base chakra closes down; that’s the chakra that deals with stability and prosperity. If we break-up or lose a loved one, our heart chakra sags down and forward, heavy with grief. Some chakras get pushed to one side, some get twisted. In the chakra balancing I do, we restructure the chakras back to their healthy shape, cleanse and open them, and help people find the beliefs blocking them. We suggest ideas on how to change the old beliefs to the new beliefs, creating the life you desire. Jennifer Vanderwal has been a Melody Crystal Healing Instructor & Facilitator since 2004.

Structural Integration; The Rolfing Corner By Robert B. Auerbach
Question: Is there a connection between a person’s attitude and their structural problems? Answer: Yes, there is a connection between a person’s emotional experiences, attitudes and beliefs and their postures and structural patterns. For example, when a young child is disciplined by a parent, the result can be something called a survival posture. When a child responds to the stimuli around him, especially what he perceives as threats, real or imagined, this results in a certain postural memory. I have had more than a few clients with a forward head posture and raised and rounded shoulders (“The Turtle”), relating to how they endured threats of physical or psychological abuse growing up. If a child is raised with the old homely that “Children should be seen and not heard” and it’s repeated with enough frequency and conviction, the child will often have chronic tension in the neck and throat. In addition, the same jaw muscles involved in TMJ will become shortened as the child struggles to suppress speaking his truth. If this response is repeated often enough, or the triggering threat is intense enough, the fascial sheets that wrap around the muscles will shorten. As a result, the child will carry this fixed “survival” posture every waking moment into his adult life. So, when he experiences threats in his adult life that feel similar to the original threat he experienced as a child, his range of responses is limited and anchored by his “frozen” posture. To correct this problem, a person might use interventions such as psychotherapy, Family Constellations and shamanic soul retrieval. However, without addressing the chronic postural and structural distortions that embody September 2017
the person’s issue(s), the results may not be complete. With a strategy such as Structural Integration, aka: Rolfing, the goal is to bring the body back into alignment and create structural patterns that are actually open and supportive of new choices. New choices not only in how you might respond emotionally when triggered, but in what kind of breathing you can access in stressful circumstances. As a personal example, as a child and into early adulthood, I had a condition termed hyper-extended knees. So, as I was standing, the knees didn’t stand at the plumb line of my body. They bent backwards. As a result, my body compensated for this major imbalance. When I went through my first ten sessions of structural integration work, I came to an awareness that my hyperextended knee condition was deeply rooted in a childhood experience of a feeling that I didn’t have a leg to stand on, and I was a push-over. Literally, I couldn’t stand in my own authority.
* Shoulders rounded and tense? * Are you less flexible than you use to be? * Chronic hip, neck or lower back pain? * Does your body feel beaten down & compressed? Structural Integration (Rolfing") can:
* Improve your posture dramatically * Assist in breathing easier and deeper * Improve your game (yoga, golf, etc.) * Make being in your body joyous and uplifting
The opposite of this condition could be a person who feels superior to others and walks around with his or her chest expanded, or puffed out and possibly with a rigid “military neck.” This person is subconsciously exclaiming that they are superior to everyone else. Yet, deep inside they actually feel inferior to the world around them, and this impression they are trying to give, is simply an attempt to mask feelings of inferiority. Again, to correct this, a person might use additional methods of intervention such as psychotherapy, Family Constellations, and a ten session Rolf structural integration process. Using a synergy of multiple mind-body processes can offer the greatest and speediest path to rewriting our old life stories.

Getting Help When You Need It, ...And Contingency Plans! By Abby Lippitt
Sometimes, no matter how much you plan or how good you are, things just go wrong. In cases like these, it may help to remember that the creative process is filled with trial and error and it’s natural to encounter some difficulties along the way, to no fault of your own. When these bumps in the road accrue, it’s best to have contingency plans in place; that way you will be able to handle whatever comes along. Below are some suggestions that can help you get back on your creative path when you have unexpected surprises. 1. Step back and find your place of calm. When you are overly emotional (which you tend to be in cases like this), you are counter-productive to finding a solution. It is wise to take a break and calm down first so that you can approach your issue with a level head. 2. Analyze your problem with logic. Ask yourself, “What is happening that is causing my disruption and what can I do to resolve it?” 3. Have an emergency account set aside that you can access when the need arises. 4. If you find you are unable to solve your dilemma yourself, seek help. 5. Ask yourself, “What aid do I have available to me?” Look to your local sources. I find the Internet an invaluable tool for this. 6.

Living the Exceptional Life: From Ordinary to Extraordinary By Dave Krajovic Everyone wants to be happy. It is so ingrained in our nature that the founding fathers of the United States specifically declared that the “pursuit of happiness” is an inalienable right. Yet almost 250 years later, few people are truly happy, but rather on a quest in the pursuit of happiness. America, as one of the wealthiest nations of the world, is one of the least happy of the developed nations. We are taught that more is better; that a bigger house, a better job, a newer car, and fancy clothes will make us look “good.” This is the consumer society. Despite what we have, we want more because we believe it will make us happier. And so we work harder, struggle more, effort to control all the things that might happen to us that are bad. We manipulate things that we think will bring us good. And here is the illusion … when and if we finally get what we want, the feeling of euphoria is fleeting. How many times have you achieved what you wanted, felt the joy in it, but soon it was relegated to a distant memory? So what do we do? We go off and work harder to acquire the next object of our attention in the hope it will be the one that will finally bring us happiness. On and on, over and over again this plays out, but the task is never complete. This efforting creates stress, negatively affects our health, our well-being, the status of our relationships and our happiness quotient, yet everyone is doing it. I call this, the ordinary life. It doesn’t have to be this way. There is a path to a different way of living. There is a path to creating a life that is extraordinary. It can be mastered through the art of exceptional living. In this life, you are aligned with the flow of life, not against it. There is no struggle or need to manipulate or control anything. What you desire comes to you easier and as a result, you are healthier and happier. Your relationships are enriched and you gain much joy out of living. And there is more good news. You do not need to give up your material possessions, your job or anything else. Instead, you just don’t make them the object of your attention and the path to your happiness. Some readers may feel they are already happy and I am sure this is true. But there are always problems, struggles, dramas and obstacles in life that can be minimized and addressed with grace and ease, leaving you in an uplifted state of being rather than angry and depressed. I live a blessed life. I take great joy in living and marvel at the smallest of things others may take for granted. I am healthy, have a great job, the perfect partner, and life flows with ease. I am happy and yet I understand that there is so much more joy

to be had. So many of us stop short of what is possible. We become comfortable in the normalness and mundaneness of our ordinary life, failing to realize that something else much greater is possible. Because everyone else is doing what we are doing, it is hard for us to see a different way. The art of exceptional living is not the path of the many, the 99%. This is the path of the 1%, and it is easier to get there than you think. Happiness is an inside job! Yes, the path to extraordinary living lies within! When you learn to go inside, you tap into the power of the infinite. Consciousness makes available infinite possibilities and because consciousness is so organized, it also makes available solutions to every problem. When you learn to connect to this Source, you are connecting to the Source of life that is in each of us. This power is love. When love is ignited from within, it accepts all things, forgives all things and simultaneously transforms and uplifts all things. Love is joy. In this state of being you will enjoy life in ways unimaginable. Your mind will be clear and sharp. You will be more vibrant, energetic and attractive in all ways. You will sleep better, your health will improve as your lifespan increases, and your relationships deepened and enriched. Fear and anxiety will be replaced by hope and faith. You will feel deeply connected to life and this connection will have a positive impact not only on the people around you but on all people everywhere. The power of your presence will be healing for all and you will see things with new eyes as you learn to trust in the Divine Plan of the Universe. Since all of us are the directors and actors in the Divine Play of life, why not be a conscious partner in the play? When you align with this play, you become a conscious participant. Peace and joy are your rewards. If you think you are worthy of more peace and joy in your life, then embrace the shift from ordinary to extraordinary and join us for one of our events. · Free Podcast: www.ascensionbreathing.com/shop , Sept 5 · Introductory Workshop: Mon., Oct. 9, 6-7:30pm · One Day Intensive: Sun., Nov. 5, 9am-4pm · Downloadable Meditation: .ascensionbreathing.com/shop May the joy of extraordinary living be with you.

How to Help Children Hang onto Their Self-Concept of Love
Pathways to Transformation
hurt feelings. These times are a part of learning and being better, stronger, wiser and braver, but when deeper cuts are made into a child’s self-concept, the harm is harder to repair.
Joel Goldsmith described it this way…”The heart and soul of the mystical life is an inner experience and no matter what mode method is used, that experience is possible if the basic motive is to discover truth.” According to Alice A. Bailey, “The whole aim of the present crisis is to shift the focus of human awareness out of the form and the material aspect of living into the consciousness of the Soul.”
I was reading an article that stated, “One of the most enduring metaphors for the spiritual path is the transformation of the lowly caterpillar into a butterfly. Out of its own substance, the ground-hugging grub weaves the By Faith Brower medium for its metamorphosis—the chrysalis within which it evolves into a beautiful creature with wings. The human being undergoes an equally We know that children are closest to Source, or whatever name you use for pure love. Little ones are dramatic transformation, unfolding the path to liberation from within the depths of the soul and emerging, after great struggle, as an expression happy and in the moment. For sure BOTH children of divinity in the world.” That article captured my attention and held me and adults get ornery. But kids can let it go quickly, and shift their moods. We adults have a harder time as I reflected on a world divided by opposing views, racial and cultural issues. As a society we are engulfed in a great inner transformation like doing that. So it is our job NOT to influence them the caterpillar seeking to find hope and refuge crying out for change. with our bad moods and nasty words. The vibrational energies within the world at this time, with unrest and We adults have such an impact on the children the polarization of thought and views are bringing forth an inner spiritual in our lives.

We never want a child who hears an and some of us may search all of our lives to find it. What I do believe is adult’s terrible words make them their own. I know that each of us must go within to discover the path we must take. The path we are human and we lose our temper and say we choose will be forged in our heart and soul. It will be called out in our things we should not. Sometimes we say things dreams. Individuals are being transformed for the world to address the out of impatience or being tired, that don’t match current issues of today. So in the mist of all the confusion in the world, with the reality or intensity of the situation.

I am not suggesting we put our children it will be the experience and the journey toward the encounter of being transformed. in safe bubbles so as never to experience pain or
What we CAN do is give our children independence of mind and permission to recognize an adult’s behavior as wrong. We can teach our child that being kind and respectful doesn’t necessarily mean accepting someone’s behavior or beliefs. We can also become more self-aware, and change our not-so-great moods faster so that we do not influence our children’s feelings and thoughts. Let’s keep children as close to “Pure Love” for as long as possible. Faith is the former President of Unity of Farmington Hills, an Empowerment Center of love, music to rock your soul, and laughter. UFH serves and empowers those searching for the Truth! 16
What we must remember is that each of us must go within and open ourselves up to the divine and allow Spirit to speak to us, to guide us to our inner sacred path. That place within us where transformation begins, where the metamorphosis takes over and the Christ presence arises from within. Where that still and quiet voice speaks to us and says, “YOU ARE MY BELOVED.” “And be not conformed to this world: but be ye transformed by the renewing of your mind, that ye may prove what is that good, and acceptable, and perfect, will of God.” And finally, remember the words of Jimi Hendrix: “When the power of love overcomes the love for power, the world will know peace.” Gregory C. Guice

The Silver Thread: Drugs, and the Escape from Suffering By Michael Abramsky
I began my career as a psychologist, helping to found and run the first substance abuse unit in a general hospital in the state of Michigan. We treated mostly alcoholics, but many also utilized street drugs as well, such as cocaine and heroin. A hat I wear today is that of a Forensic Psychologist. In addition to my clinical practice, I do evaluations for police and fire departments, and for the courts. One consistent dynamic I have seen is the frequency of drug use as a factor in employment problems, and as a causal factor in criminal behavior. Most recently it is prescription drugs that are the drug of choice. No longer do addicts have to take to the streets to get a fix. They just have to show up at their doctor’s office and virtually any complaint is greeted by the prescription pad handing out anti-depressants, pain killers or tranquilizers. In several of the last cases I evaluated, the client’s were on drugs like Adderall, or Vyvance, for adult ADD/ADHD. These are stimulants and in taking these drugs people committed rash, impulsive acts, which led to arrests and incarcerations. Stimulants disinhibit, and strengthen our impulses to rule over the logical mind. Recently, Jerome Bruner, a Emeritus Professor of Psychology at Harvard, wrote that he doubts there is an illness like ADD. Bruner also points out that once you define something as an illness, drug companies will create a drug to fix it, and doctors will prescribe it as a treatment for their patient’s illnesses. When I trained, psychiatrists did psychotherapy, and only used medicine adjunctively, only when absolutely necessary. Today, many psychiatrists call themselves “psycho-pharmacologists” and run their practices like internists seeing a patient for 15 minutes, writing a script and then following-up in three months. I was in training when the new wave of mood stabilizers came on the market. Drugs like Prozac, Praxel, and Zoloft were prescribed for severe or “major depressions”. However, today almost any complaint is addressed with a prescription pad. Recent studies have found that up to 80% of the people getting anti-depressants do not meet the diagnostic criterion for taking that medication. They show up at their doctor’s office, say they are sad, and are given a prescription for an anti-depressant. Many of these addicting drug prescriptions are written by General Practitioners, with little training in addictions or clinical diagnosis. Neither psychiatrists or general practice physicians do much

counseling, and most do not monitor their patients’ progress or follow-up in any way to see if these drugs are effective or harmful. I have seen a patient on the tranquilizer Ativan for 25 years, with no periodic clinical evaluation; the Practitioner just kept renewing the prescription and feeding the addiction. Furthermore, patients are often told they have a “chemical imbalance” and must take these drugs forever. There is no clinical proof for a “chemical imbalance”, but patients stay on these drugs for years, often without knowing if there are longterm negative consequences associated with prolonged usage. Some researchers have suggested that long-term use of drugs which alter brain chemistry, may lead to increased dementias. There is certainly a segment of the population who benefit from these drugs, but very few providers are familiar with the proper diagnostic techniques to select those who would benefit and those who would not, or choose not to use a thorough clinical exam. It is also the case that patients are routinely kept on these meds for years. There are no “medication holidays” where the patient is taken off the drug for a period of time to see if the drug is necessary, and no monitoring for abuse or possible addictions. When we turn on our TV’s we are greeted by numerous commercials suggesting mood-altering drugs. Watching sports, we are bombarded with beer commercials. We are constantly being urged to use addicting drugs, as a path to calmness, happiness and fun. (Our Canadian neighbors refuse to advertise drugs) As consumers, I would utilize these basic guidelines: 1) Always try therapy first. Most depressive episodes can be resolved through short-term counseling techniques. Before I refer a patient for meds, I see them four or five times before I can determine whether medication may be necessary. Do not accept medication unless a thorough examination is done. For potential ADD medication, seek a neuropsychological evaluation, where objective tests are used to determine correct diagnosis, and where we can measure whether medication actually improves performance. Pain killers, except in the most extreme cases, should be prescribed short term. If your doctor just blindly renews prescriptions, seek another opinion. It’s a lot easier to get into addictions than to get out of them. 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.

Tolerance
and wonder why you’re unable to do the same.
By Susan deCaussin
This is something that we all need to be reminded of when we find ourselves comparing our lives to the lives of others, and notice the urge to judge or draw negative conclusions about them.
In life, we can experience the same lessons over and over again, but each time in a new light. With each experience, our perspective is altered in such a way that we never quite see things the same way again. For with each test comes greater clarity about the universal truths that guide us through our soul’s journey.
At any given time, in any given moment, you are always exactly where you’re supposed to be, and so is everyone else. Our journeys may be different, but the destination is the same. Things that we can’t relate to in our early years, can suddenly Reminding yourself that everyone experiences struggles become clear, and make sense, after compiling life experiences as their spirits evolve and grow in knowledge, is the key to embracing our differences with understanding and love. that have made us aware of a much bigger picture. Like building blocks, our wisdom grows with each problem we No two lives are the same. Like tokens in a board game, we’re navigate our way through. all moving through life at different rates of speed, encountering a variety of adventures along the way. Learning to appreciate Because of this process, it can be tempting to judge the those differences, and understanding that each person is simply decisions and choices of others. You may witness behavior a compilation of life experiences, we can begin to appreciate that seems reckless, rude or compulsive and feel compelled why we are all so unique and choose to embrace tolerance, to criticize or sit in judgment. What we sometimes forget is that the struggles we’ve weathered have provided us valuable compassion and understanding instead of judgment and criticism. We have more in common than we know, so make the insight, and not everyone is at the same point in their journey choice to accept and support everyone.

Supplements That Help Ascension
From Healer, Teacher, Author, Planetary Healer and Ascension Worker Eve Wilson, comes a perspective of hope and a journey of understanding and ascension. Riding the Wave is the product of Eve’s 30 year quest for the next higher perspective on life and how to heal people and the planet on the deepest levels.
By Eve Wilson
Eve writes about evolution and the journey of our souls here on planet Earth in a penetrating and fluid message that includes prose, visions, allegory, verse, The Healing Qabalah and art. Also included are tools for personal healing and ascension. Her understanding of why life has been so hard shows a design and purpose behind the destructive directions that humans have so often chosen. Find out how all life is currently ascending to a higher level of consciousness, soul and experience. Where our world is struggling under the burden of climate change and human interference, Eve sees an inevitable ascension and rebirth. “This book reads like a song” – Penny Golden, Publisher AVAILABLE NOW ON www.balboapress.com
Ascension is the journey of soul and body by which we emerge from the swamp of our lower energies of hatred, fear, and destructive behavior, and evolve into our true potential of union with our own higher intelligence, purpose and love. This is an excerpt from my new book, Riding the Wave of Change – Hope Healing and Spiritual Growth for Our World, which is coming to print this month! All life on earth is in the process of ascending -- though sometimes our awareness of the positive changes can get lost in the challenges of the journey. There are two aspects of change which are essential to ascension and occurring simultaneously for individuals, for society and within nature. There is a necessary passing away of the way of life and being based on instinctual fear and greed. Then there is the birthing of a world built on unity and wholeness, which has always been the ultimate goal of evolution. Ascension leads us into that new way of being by rebuilding everything from the genetic level up through a series of fractional reality shifts, allowing life to continue even as we die and are reborn bit by bit -- body, soul, society and

planet. This amazing transition is the cause of much that we find difficult in our world and lives right now; so, learning to ride these changes is essential for us all. As a Spiritual Healer and Ascension Worker, part of what I do is help people manage these changes and make optimal use of the opportunities they present. Below is a partial list of dietary supplements which I have found can help during ascension while you are handling the stresses of change; and some practical tools to make it easier to surf the waves skillfully! Everyone is different, so use your own discernment about what will work best for you. Supplements: - Garden of Life (brand ) Raw, organic and whole food, these supplements though sometimes lower in potency than other brands, are super easy for your body to utilize. They may be taken with or without food and the capsules can be opened and sprinkled in a drink or on food... and even taste good! Most supplements, though they may say they are natural, utilize some non-digestible sources which don’t help and may buildup or need to be processed out of your system. Many people notice a huge improvement when they switch. - Raw B Complex – feel yourself relax and notice how you smile and laugh more when you get your essential stress– combatting B complex in this whole food form! - Raw Vitamin C – your immune system needs C to help heal and clear toxins out of your body as you undergo the death and rebirth process of ascension, and fight-off illness. Being whole food, this C may be well tolerated even by those who have had problems using C in the past. - my kind organics multiple vitamin formulas – there are different versions of these whole food multi-vitamins for different ages and sexes. These are amazingly effective vitamins that can make you feel truly nourished! - my kind organic B-12 spray – a tasty way to lift your spirits in the midst of a trying day – B-12 is part of the B complex which helps handle stress and lighten moods. Adaptogens are Supplements which help your body adapt to life in a positive way instead of being stressed or overwhelmed by circumstances. These generally increase energy, help you let go of physical and psychological stressors, and respond to life with a clearer mind and heart. Helpful in overcoming fatigue of mind and body. - Gaia Herb (brand) Adrenal Health or Stress Formula – These two adaptogen formulas have the same ingredients, but are labeled differently. The Adrenal Health is much less expensive than the Stress Formula – go figure! - ConcenTrace Trace Mineral Drops – evaporated and desalinated water from Utah’s Great Salt Lake- Ionic and
September 2017
PH Balanced, these drops give you many of the essential minerals you only need in trace amounts, but may be lacking. Equally important, they are very balancing of your PH. Trace minerals are necessary for the proper functioning of your body’s electrical system. An unexpected benefit I discovered as a Spiritual Healer -- these mineral drops help you release toxic psychic energies you pick up from other people and circumstances. For instance, if you come home from the store, work or an event feeling like you are carrying unwanted emotional, mental and spiritual energies that aren’t yours, these will help you clear them, and even help you to not pick them up as easily! They also help you recover from poor food choices. Cleansing Soaks: - 2 cups of sea salt in a bath or ½ cup in a foot soak pulls out physical and psychic toxicity – rinse afterward! - ¼ cup of apple cider vinegar in a bath or a few tablespoons in a foot soak does the same and is also PH balancing. Power Animals: an ancient tool common to all First People traditions, power animals help you find the strength, courage and drive to overcome obstacles, face challenges, protect yourself and thrive physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. Learn how to work with yours when you read Find Your Power Animal on my website: www.spiritualhealers.com/ articles Find out why The Weekly Word for Healing & Ascension Blog was voted One of the Top Healing Blogs in the World at: www.spiritualhealers.com/blog!

Don’t Wait for a Lightning Bolt to Start Reducing Your Stroke Risk! By Dr. William H. Karl, D.C.
One of the scariest things that could ever happen to us or someone we love, is a stroke. Like a lightning bolt striking in the middle of a storm, devastation can take place quickly. However, strokes are more forgiving than lightning bolts because stroke damage may be reduced by following the FAST protocol. This was developed by the National Stroke Association to help people identify stroke symptoms. Call me to learn the best ways of reducing your stroke risk and the best alternative therapies for post-stroke care, but call 9-1-1 when stroke is suspected. The FAST acronym translates to: F = FACE (Ask the person to smile to see if one side of the face droops.) A = ARMS (Ask the person to raise both arms to see if one arm drifts downward.) S = SPEECH (Ask the person to repeat a simple phrase to see if their speech is slurred.) T = TIME (Call 9-1-1 immediately if any of these signs are observed.) Treatment within one hour of the warning signs dramatically improves stroke prognosis, often preventing or reversing neurological damage. Taking shelter in a storm before the lightning strikes could

save your life. You can see why prevention is your best defense when you apply this concept to strokes. Compare inflammation brewing within the body to a severe storm threatening to do damage. Would you just sit and watch the storm, or take cover? Reducing inflammation in the body is one of the most important things that can be done to reduce stroke risk. It’s estimated that 80% of strokes are preventable by changing lifestyle factors. Reducing consumption of the sugars that cause inflammation is a great place to start. Identified risk factors for stroke include elevated blood lipids stemming from dietary trans-fats, sugars, grains, a sedentary lifestyle without proper exercise, obesity, diabetes, elevated blood pressure, excessive alcohol intake, and smoking. A high homocysteine level is also an indicator of an upcoming stroke or heart attack because of homocysteine’s damaging effects to the heart and blood vessels. If you have elevated homocysteine levels, it’s likely that you’re deficient in nutrients, especially B vitamins. Many of my patients have successfully lowered homocysteine levels using nutritional protocols which included B-complex vitamins, along with other supportive nutrients specifically dosed. An extremely common deficiency is B-12. If you read my previous articles on digestion, energy, and B-12, then you know why B-12 is so important! Anti-oxidants are some of the most important nutrients that help decrease stroke risk by reducing inflammation. The brain consumes the greatest amount of energy compared to other organs in the body and has one of the highest concentrations of polyunsaturated fatty acids. Unfortunately, these fatty acids are easily oxidized by free radicals, so the body must be supplied with the proper nutrition to help prevent free radical damage. This nutrition should include whole food sources of vitamins C, D3, E, magnesium, zinc, selenium, September 2017
and B-complex along with supportive enzymes, other specific molecules, and flavonoids. Essential fatty acids are also necessary for brain health. DHA is obtained by eating fatty ocean fish or consuming high quality omega-3 fish oils. According to neurosurgeon Dr. Russell Blaylock, inflammation in the brain affects neurons, glial cells, the blood brain barrier, and blood vessels that supply nutrients and oxygen. Inflammationgenerated free radicals and lipid peroxidation (the oxidative degradation of fats generated by the free radical chain reaction) cause atherosclerosis (hardening and narrowing of the arteries) that leads to stroke or vascular dementia. Stroke refers to specific damage to the brain. There are two major forms: ischemic and hemorrhagic. Approximately 75% of strokes are ischemic which are frequently due to spikes in blood pressure as the result of blockages in small blood vessels with globs of fat or plaque. (The body knows it’s safer to spike BP and blow the obstruction through rather than lose blood flow to an area and have the area die of ischemia - lack of blood flow.) An ischemic stroke may also be called a brain attack, because it’s similar to a heart attack in which blood vessels to the heart muscle become blocked. A “mini-stroke” or TIA (transient ischemic attack) means there’s been a temporary blockage in a blood vessel of the brain. TIA’s should be considered a warning to clean up your diet or expect bigger trouble in the future. This means eliminating all processed foods containing trans-fat oils, grains, sugars, chemicals, and preservatives and replacing them with healthy fats (coconut oil, avocado, butter, raw nuts) and other whole foods. In a hemorrhagic stroke, arteries in the brain typically rupture due to increased blood pressure or loss of blood vessel integrity. Increased blood pressure can be related to fats or plaque buildup due
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
to poor diet or a malfunctioning digestive system that doesn’t process food correctly. I encourage everyone to take stroke prevention seriously. As a chiropractor and Certified Wellness Doctor, I’m passionate about helping people improve both their health and their quality of life. Although mainstream health care has started to recognize the value of prevention, many alternative therapies aren’t yet integrated into our culture, although they’ve been used successfully in Europe for years. These therapies include PEMF (Pulsed Electro Magnetic Frequency) and Cold Laser. PEMF recharges the surface voltage of cells in the body to improve intercellular communication for better maintenance and repair. Cold Laser helps the body repair faster post-stroke, when the body is rewiring its central nervous system. Also reducing pain, Cold Laser helps increase energy in the mitochondria, allowing them to produce more ATP’s. In turn, ATP’s (body fuels) are used to promote healthier cells, which support faster healing and repair. Preventative practices should be a priority for everyone. If you’re already invested into healthy routines, it will serve you well if something unforeseen should occur, like an accident or stroke. Heaven forbid anything like that will ever happen to you or a family member but as the saying goes, an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. Dr. William H. Karl, D.C., is a Brimhall Certified Wellness Doctor with 35 years experience helping people obtain optimal health. Attend his FREE workshop, September 28, to learn why reducing inflammation may help you reduce your risk of stroke and other vascular problems.

Harvest Moon Celebration at the Farmington Farmer’s Market!
By Walt Gajewski
n Farmin tow gt n o w
’s n
The Farmers Market in Farmington is a community jewel, gratefully appreciated by thousands for providing direct access to locally grown fresh produce every Saturday, 9am -2pm, through November 4. Featuring a dozen Michigan growers along with select specialty food vendors and local artisans, Harvest Moon brings a three day celebration of the fall to downtown Farmington, Thursday, September 21-Saturday, September 23.
Do
September brings a fall feel to downtown Farmington as the harvest season approaches, bringing with it the annual tradition of Harvest Moon, a celebration that invites all to experience life in a small town on a Michigan fall day!
It’s the biggest Market of the year! The Harvest Moon recognizes the point at which the moon is at its highest, and in earlier times provided an opportunity for farmers to harvest fields later into the night, gathering as much as they could before the coming frost. The three day celebration features two outdoor evenings of food, beverage and music, ushered in by a warming fire and the welcoming spirit of community life. It’s a coming together! This is how communities have embraced the changing of seasons for centuries. We learn from the past to preserve our future. We celebrate and cherish good food, good company and the opportunity for social gathering. It’s primitive and essential. As the summer gives way to fall, it beckons winter close behind. People will be less outdoors. We inherently know this, and there is a huddling effect that draws people to a certain sense of kinship. It’s what community is all about! Join us for the Harvest Moon celebration, food and fun! For more information about the Farmington Farmer’s Market visit: www.farmingtonfarmersmarket.com For information about Harvest Moon visit: www.downtownfarmington.org The Market is open every Saturday through Nov. 4. Grand River Ave. & Grove Street, 9am-2pm. Free, convenient parking. See you at the Market! Walt Gajewski, Market Manager (248) 971-5882 market@downtownfarmington.org

Operation Prayer Power – Science, Spirituality and Global Healing – Part 2
MICHIGAN PSYCHIC FAIR Michigan’s best psychics!
By Chrissie Blaze
Operation Prayer Power is a wonderful example of the joining together of prayer, the power of mantra, spirituality and technology. Dr. King revealed this startling vision of a powerful, new ecological tool to the world, beginning in England and the USA in 1973. It is held each week at five locations around the world, including Royal Oak, Michigan.
Upcoming Events:
Sep 3 in Roseville - Holiday Inn (31900 Little Mack) Sep 10 in Livonia - Comfort Inn (NE Corner of Middlebelt)
Operation Prayer Power was dedicated by Dr. King to “All people throughout the world who are unselfishly working for the preservation of the ecological balance of this Planet so senselessly polluted by unthinking mankind throughout the centuries.”
Sep 17 in Waterford - Holiday Inn (M 59 & Pontiac Lake Rd.)
As you might imagine, prayer is at its heart. Dr. King knew that Spiritual energy – the energy of Love – radiated through selfless prayer, and is one of the most potent healing forces. When a disaster such as an earthquake or flood strikes, caring people throughout the world send heartfelt prayers to those in need for healing and relief.
Sep 24 in Shelby - Hampton Inn (23 Mile & Van Dyke Freeway) Oct 1 in Novi - Holiday Inn (12 Mile W. of Haggarty)
Dr. King also knew, through his work as a radionics scientist, that the energy of prayer – like any other energy – can be collected, stored, and concentrated. He invented Operation Prayer Power to harness and concentrate this spiritual energy, because he knew that by doing this, the results would be extremely powerful. Spiritual energy can be equated to a stream of healing water; when focused, it intensifies into a powerful river of love that can, when released, quench the raging fires of suffering.
Hope to see you there! Find a list of our great Readers, fair updates and directions at: www.MichiganPsychicFair.org
The heart of Operation Prayer Power is the storehouse of uplifting spiritual energy that can be released immediately at times of natural disasters, wars and other crises.

Growing Into a New Way of Being By Nancy Lynn
Dear Readers, Once again, we are entering into the season of autumn! How exciting, the season that mirrors the change we experience on the outside as well as on the inside. Everywhere we look, it is a reminder of the cycle of rebirth. The trees will soon be losing their leaves and become dormant once again. It is because of this that I want to take the time to write about not only self-change, but change that is ever present in each-and-every one of our lives. Specifically, the change we will go through in shedding the negative people out of our lives. Similar to our need to clean out the extra shoes we own in our closets, we need to take a moment and recognize the influences of people in our present life who may or may not have our best interest at heart. For the sake of keeping things brief, I’m going to refer to this process as, “shedding”. Much like a snake who abandons its old skin, we too must sometimes grow out of relationships and situations that are toxic to our well-being. It is easy to slip into a routine of an unhealthy lifestyle. When you have negative energies within your inner circle, it becomes difficult to maintain a positive and productive mindset. It is never too early or too late to make a change. Much like a child, we all have phases or periods of time where we seem to be running endlessly towards nothing, much like that of a hamster on the wheel of life. Therefore, I want to encourage you to remove the negative energy that might be within your auras and start fresh. Negative people are unavoidable, although we can control how we interact with them. Working to stay in your own energy and to not associate with those who bring you down are essential tools to starting anew; knowing when to limit or expand your associations within your circle. Consider yourself mentally detoxifying your spirit. Just as we need fuel in our body, we need to take care of our mind and spirit in the same manner. Autumn is the perfect time to partake in this shedding experience, because we are able to wind down after long summer vacations, and regroup. It is this recognition of impermanence that allows us to move forward on our spiritual journey. When we acknowledge that all things in life are fleeting, we can shed those little things that weigh our spirit down.
SEASONS... People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime. When you figure out which one it is, you will know what to do for each person. When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually to meet a need you have expressed. They have come to assist you through a difficulty; to provide you with guidance and support; to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They may seem like a godsend, and they are. They are there for the reason you need them to be. Then, without any wrong doing on your part or at an inconvenient time, this person will say or do something to bring the relationship to an end. Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away. Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand. What we must realize is that our need has been met, our desire fulfilled; their work is done. The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time to move on. Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your turn has come to share, grow or learn. They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh. They may teach you something you have never done. They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy. Believe it. It is real. But only for a season. LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons; things you must build upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation. Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person, and put what you have learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your life. It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant. _______________________________________________ I believe this poem sums up relationships and their meanings very well, in the journey of life. We experience many people that will venture into our life for a reason, some will be a season and few will be a lifetime.
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 I would like to share this poem; the author is unknown, as the right direction. For info go to: www.NancyOTE.com or it seems to sum up what I believe relationships are: blueraven318@gmail.com. 571-989-2408.

both individuals remain in the trauma but if one begins to heal, the trauma bond is often severed. The fear of losing the “other” tends to reinforce the trauma bond and both individuals remain unhealed—the fear of being alone is great!
By Liz Jelinek, PhD
According to traumatologist Anngwyn St Just, trauma is the result of one or more events such as a sudden shock or a series of painful experiences over time that overwhelms the system and creates broken connections. Early traumas from childhood can be stored in the body and later in life a seemingly minor event that triggers a memory and results in a trauma response in the present that looks much like the responses seen in veterans with PTSD. In previous writings I’ve talked about traumas of the ancestors being passed down through the generations creating trauma responses in individuals in the present. However, the individual can also experience PTSD-like responses even if there is no conscious memory of any trauma past or present and no known ancestral trauma. PTSD-like responses can occur from events in the present that trigger previous systemic imbalances in the family system or from broken connections left untreated and unhealed. When these imbalances are ignored, then healing is not possible—the trauma remains in the field and seems to attract unrelated events—such as the apparently unrelated events in Charleston, NC—with a history of deadly traumas that appear over and over across time. Clearly the field around the Charleston area is fragmented and unrest will likely continue unless the community bands together to heal. Traumas create fragmented connections with self that can manifest as panic attacks. The individual feels shut down and walled off from the world around him or her and the feelings of disconnect or isolation cause great difficulties in relating to others. The entanglements with the past can be so great that the individual sees the future as an endless repetition of the past which leads to a sense of helplessness and hopelessness similar to major depression. The traumatized individual has great difficulties with relationships and tends to seek relationships with other “broken” individuals—or remains alone.
Unfortunately many religions reward martyrs and those who are suffering and promise them other worldly rewards. Such misplaced beliefs and ideals reward victims so highly that the individual takes on victim consciousness as a way of life. This results in a sense of both innocence and powerlessness. Such individuals often end up in cults or following a guru, rather than dealing with his or her trauma and healing. These individuals adopt victim consciousness as a way of life, resulting in both innocence and powerlessness How victims are viewed differs greatly across cultures. In the west, especially the United States, victimhood is rewarded. In Japan victims are shunned and Germans express contempt for victims. In cultures where victims are celebrated, healing from victim consciousness is very difficult because the individual is afraid of losing those closest—some families require victim consciousness in order to belong. Victim consciousness is insidious. It allows the individual to shun responsibility and to remain in a passive childlike state throughout life and no one in the system requires him or her to ever grow up—or to ever improve his or her life! But when the individual has the courage to heal, dignity can be restored, providing the individual with a sense of empowerment that widens the options available to him or her. There are numerous ways to heal from trauma and end victimhood if one is brave enough to start. One of the best ways to heal is using “Systemic Constellations” through private Sessions or in group workshops. Dr. Liz Jelinek is the Founder & Director of MWI. For those interest in working with Dr. Liz, please see her ad and those interested in becoming constellations facilitators, new classes are forming this fall.

Solar Eclipse in Leo, August 2017, and the US Chart There was a solar eclipse that occurred on Monday, August 21, at 2:30pm, Eastern Time at 28º of Leo. Since this is a total eclipse that passed exclusively through the United States, there was much speculation on the effects. What we need to realize is that an eclipse does not cause effects to occur; it exacerbates the energies that are already there, and it intensifies the whole chart not just what the eclipse is in aspect to. Also, the energies will be even more intense wherever it is visible, and since it traveled exclusively through the US, the effects are more intense there. This was a North Node eclipse which means that issues coming up are also around, facing the future and moving forward.
the Moon), we are being pushed to restructure and be responsible (Saturn) for this area of our lives. We can see this with the continuing changes that occur around equal rights for women. Our means of communication (Mercury) is going through restructuring at this time. This influence is part of why internet providers are restricting hate groups from using the internet by taking down their websites. All the things that make this country pleasant to be in (Venus) are now going through a revolutionizing process. We see this in the entertainment industry, the arts, fashion, and social pleasures. Mars (the planet representative of the forces that hold the country together or drive it
When looking at the US chart using the July 4, 1776 chart, we find that the eclipse was a Quincunx to the Natal and Progressed Pluto, which intensifies this chart that is already dealing with a great deal of difficult energies. There are hard aspects from transits to the US chart that we are dealing with at this time, as shown below: · Transiting Saturn conjoins the Progressed Moon, Opposes Natal Mars, and Quincunx’s Natal Mercury. · Transiting Uranus Squares the Natal and Progressed Pluto, conjoins Progressed Venus, and Quincunx’s the Natal and Progressed Neptune. · Transiting Neptune Quincunx Natal Saturn, Quincunx Progressed Mars. · Transiting Pluto Squares the Progressed Mars, Squares the Natal and Progressed Chiron. Regarding the population as a whole (especially the female population, i.e. September 2017
apart through aggression, confrontation, and war) is in aspect to Saturn (the planet that restructures, and gets rid of that which is no longer necessary), Neptune (the planet that forces us to see our illusions/misperceptions/fears), and Pluto (the planet of transformation, death, and destruction). We see this with the internal violence that is being fueled by lies, and with our inability to effectively confront and hold boundaries with foreign powers. With our judgment
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
clouded and aggression fueled by emotion, there is strong potential for war. Regarding the institutions and structures of our society (Saturn), we are being forced to face our illusions and misperceptions (Neptune). This also contributes to our disillusionment of our government and causes us to act and react emotionally instead of rationally. Neptune (the planet that rules our visions, dreams, glamour of our society, and also oil and gas) is in aspect to Transiting Uranus (the planet that revolutionizes through chaos and destruction). What is most relevant to this aspect is that there could be more volatility in the oil and gas industry; however, this could also be contributing to the violence associated with our symbols of history that are being distorted by hate groups and categorized as racist. Pluto (the planet that rules all that is hidden and secret in society) is being revolutionized by Uranus. This can be representative of changes to secret organizations (intelligence agencies like the FBI, CIA, etc.) where inadequacy’s in the institutions come to the surface, and they are being forced by changes in the way organized crime, terrorist organizations, etc. do business. These are the energies that our country is going through at this time that are being exacerbated by the eclipse, and can be perceived as being very difficult. However, this country has gone through more difficult times than this, and we know that we can get through this. Also, after we go through these difficult times our country will be in a much better place. Thank you to Chris McRae who taught me most of what I know about eclipses.

The miraculous healings that have occurred under the influence of these “material medica” aren’t just the mystery seen in ancient times, but are now known to be based on actual scientific explanations. When God directed Moses to make the holy anointing oil from myrrh, sweet cinnamon, calamus, cassia, and olive oil, this mixture would have been a powerful antibiotic and antiviral combination which would protect and treat all those who received it. Cinnamon is a powerful antiviral, antibacterial and antifungal. Myrrh is an effective antiseptic and stimulates cellular growth. Out of the three-hundred essential oils in use today, the average household could fulfill most of its needs with the following ten: LAVENDER: It is a natural antibiotic, antiseptic, antidepressant, sedative, and detoxifier which promotes healing and stimulates the immune system.
GERANIUM: This wonderful oil works hard on the emotions. It will make chilblains disappear overnight and bring a glow to the skin. It is effective in treating endometriosis, menopausal problems, breast and uterine cancer, diabetes, blood disorders, throat infections, and as a verve tonic and sedative. LEMON: This antiseptic and antibacterial oil helps insect bites, tension headaches, and has a tonic action on the lymphatic system and stimulates the digestive system, helps you slim and disperse cellulite and hold off wrinkles. CLOVE: As an antibacterial, antiseptic, and analgesic this oil is good for the prevention of disease and infection, digestive problems, muscular disorders, asthma, nausea, and sinusitis. Always dilute before using on the skin. There are many ways to use these oils. They can be used as a perfume, massage oil, inhaled as a vapor, in the bath, as candle oil, diffusers, drops on a light bulb, and much more. Use these wonderful gifts of nature to cleanse and nurture, and promote good health. We are truly blessed by these natural alternatives to treat and cure without chemicals.

Contact Samantha at: 909-3053082 or Samantha@astara.org
TEA TREE OIL: The antiseptic action of tea tree oil is thought to be one-hundred times more powerful than carbolic acid and is non-poisonous to humans. It is antiviral, antibacterial, and antifungal making it useful in many different types of conditions. It can be used to treat candida, a variety of infections, ringworm, sunburn, acne, athlete’s foot, toothache, pyorrhea and numerous other conditions. PEPPERMINT: Peppermint has been used by many cultures, such as the Egyptians, Chinese, and Native American Indians, because of its health promoting qualities. It is an excellent digestive, respiratory and circulatory aid while being an antiinflammatory and antiseptic. It also safely keeps mice, fleas, and ants away! CHAMOMILE: There are several types of chamomile. Two good ones are Chamomile German and Chamomile Roman. While Chamomile is antibacterial, antiseptic, and disinfectant, it is most prized for its anti-inflammatory abilities. It soothes a baby’s teeth and is relaxing in the bath. It is analgesic, diuretic, sedating and calming, and is great in rejuvenating treatments. EUCALYPTUS: Treats chest problems and colic, cools the body and is anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, antibiotic, diuretic, analgesic and deodorizing. Best known for treating coughs and colds but is also useful for cystitis, candida, diabetes, and sunburn. It is also a good insect repellent. September 2017

Manifesting Your Miraculous Life By Brenda Tringali
A miraculous life is an abundant life. Abundant in all things -- finances, love, friendships, creativity, health, emotional peace, and physical abundance to name a few. Ultimately, this means having whatever you want or need whenever it is appropriate to have it, which can change from each moment, day, week or year. Allow this to move fluidly within yourself and be flexible, because a miraculous life requires us to step out of our linear belief systems into a place of wholeness. Start with asking yourself the question, “If I could have any kind of life, what would I want my life to be like?” Identify what it would feel like and physically be like for you, if your life fulfilled all your wants and desires. What would your thoughts be? How might you feel within your miraculous life? What would your profession be? Would you even have one? Going into as much detail as possible, describe what ‘a day in the life’ might look like, and move into what a month or year might feel like. It is important to honor whatever comes up when we are moving through our emotions and consciously manifesting our wishes and desires. What arises, are the very barriers or walls that keep us from a miraculous life. The following steps are ways you might consider moving through some of your barriers. The steps overlap in a circular or multi-dimensional way because we are multi-dimensional beings and do not exclusively exist in our brains or a linear space. 1. Letting Go of What Doesn’t Serve You One of the belief systems that I work with to help my clients let go of, is that there is not enough.... (fill in the blank) to go around. I also see a lot of judgments or shoulds about how success or
38
abundance can happen. For example, someone might believe “working hard equates to success”. This can be a very limiting belief system because it does not leave a lot of room for having success without pain or suffering.
These feelings of love and compassion completely support my miraculous life where everyone loves and supports me. I do things that support these feelings, such as saying nice things to myself, staying open to others positive, loving support of me and by letting go of any experiences that are negative or fearbased. If someone is around me talking about how difficult life is, I say inside my head, “No thank you! That is not a belief system I embrace about my life. I think life is easy.” With this simple exercise, I’m releasing the fear-based “life is hard” belief system and am allowing the thought, “Life is easy” to grow.
Even saying the words, “I am allowed to have success without working hard” violates in-breaded belief systems within our culture. Our beliefs are choices though, and I invite you to throw out many of the old and fear-based beliefs you have about yourself and how the world operates. Instead, believe there is enough for everyone (their really is!). Believe that everyone, yourself included, deserves abundance in all things, whenever they want it (this is really possible!). By noticing what your values, thoughts and belief systems are, you are able to begin authentically choosing thoughts that specifically coincide or compliment a truly miraculous life, and release thoughts that no longer serve you.
Have fun with this! Imagine that fun is its own entity within you and feed it by following and embracing joy, peace and love every moment you can. When feeling any of these emotions, be sure to do lots more of what brought them on. Within these emotions, notice your thoughts and have more of them; all the time! If you feel uncomfortable, afraid or overwhelmed with life’s experiences, turn them around by saying, “I choose love.”
2. Feed What You Want to Grow I’ve mentioned this before in reference to having healthy relationships. Not surprisingly, this works in the manifestation of creating the best life you can imagine. By focusing and growing those thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that align with what serves your highest manifestation, you are allowing your soul, body and the universe, to back up your choices of a miraculous life. This does not mean ignore or avoid those uncomfortable or negative feelings or thoughts. As I’ve always said, our feelings serve a purpose and we need to move through them (do the internal work) to emphasize those feelings that feed our miraculous life.
By saying this, you are letting go of any doubts or fears that might want to sneak in, and bring forward (attract) more of that miraculous life you are manifesting. When someone is upset with me, I will say, “I choose love” to myself, over and over. This allows me to see the conflict in such a beautiful way. I am able to have compassion for the other person’s perspective and myself because I’m standing on a foundation of peace. I like to think this also helps others feel safe and comfortable around me because no judgments (shoulds or criticisms) come into the resolution of the conflict. 3. Surrender
I do daily internal work to move through any doubts or fears I might have. By acknowledging my fearful thoughts, I honor them for what they are and I am able to make a conscious decision to move myself into a place of unconditional love for myself and others.
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
Surrender to the process. Let me say this a different way, STOP WORRYING! Let go. Don’t try to hold on or adhere to old outdated belief systems or thoughts that might interfere with feeling peaceful and hopeful about whatever you choose and want for yourself. Allow the universe
September 2017
to support your choices. Life is not complicated. The universe, God, and your higher self is waiting to back you up! Whatever you choose! You are allowed and deserve whatever you want from life. Be open to allowing this to happen in whatever way it can (instead of the way you’ve been taught it should happen). This really means that you let go and say, “Hey, it’s okay. Everything is working out perfectly.” You feel this (or fake that you feel it) until it reverberates from every cell of your being, every moment, of every day. Yeah, I’m still working on getting to this level too, but I’m getting closer every day! Creating a Miraculous Life is your birthright! We all deserve abundance, in all things, to reach the highest potential of ourselves! I love how Yogis define their sport; they say it’s their Yoga Practice. This is life! Life is our practice. We work to be our greatest self every day. Some days we are limber and move with ease. Some days, we are a little sore and less flexible but we are magnificent for showing up and trying every day. By being mindful and intent, full of what we are practicing or creating, we are taking significant steps to manifesting our miraculous life.

Heartburn Problems? Acid Reflux? By Dr. Sherry Yale, D.C.
I see patients regularly with complaints of heartburn and acid reflux/GERD. I find that these problems are commonly associated with a Hiatal Hernia. The most common form of Hiatal Hernia is the sliding variety, where the opening in the diaphragm is weakened and enlarged, allowing the top of the stomach to protrude into the chest area above the diaphragm, allowing stomach acids to enter the esophagus. The sliding Hiatal Hernia is a transient disturbance that can come and go, along with its symptoms, although the more severe it is, the more often the symptoms are active. Severe enough Hiatal Hernias may need to be surgically repaired. However, with functional changes that I can help my patients with, surgery is usually not necessary. There are natural procedures to reposition the Hiatal Hernia and reflexes to treat at home, to strengthen the diaphragm. The most common sources of aggravation for a Hiatal Hernia are lying down after eating, leaning over objects that push up on your belly (examples are auto mechanics leaning over a car or a person cleaning their bathtub putting pressure on the abdominal area with the side of the tub), pregnancy (baby pushing up on the stomach) and even pants with too tight a belt, to name some of the culprits. I have found that an imbalance of stomach acids and even food sensitivities/allergies can also be a problem. One patient even had smoking as the cause of her Hiatal Hernia slipping upward. The Hiatal Hernia is known as the Great Mimicker, for when it is active, one can think they’re having a heart attack. It can also imitate the symptoms of other digestive disturbances, shoulder problems, neck problems, jaw pain and hiccups.

Being Stress-Free By Miche Lame’
A lot of people call me complaining of stress, anxiety and depression. They have never learned how to connect with their inner calm, nor with the Divine, our source of love and peace. It’s not our parents or teachers fault, they either never learned these skills, or we rejected their teachings out of a reflex to be a separate individual. Or, we modeled ourselves in defense, with a desire to please someone who was based in ego, anger and fear, not themselves connecting with the Divine and the comfort the connection with the Divine, our Source, brings. As we know, energy expands, and misery loves company, yet love and calm also expand once we connect with it. Some of us, particularly in our teens, get sucked in by negative energy when we are looking for a new sense of self. And, some of us get stuck there, staying in angst, stress, anxiety, anger and depression, looking at and expecting the negative while not learning from our mistakes. One of the best ways to relax is a basic ability we are all born with -- which is to BREATHE. That is the first action a newborn makes when leaving the womb. In order to live, a newborn has to breathe in divine, life-giving air. Newborns really know how to breathe, and be present in the moment, connected naturally with the Divine. As they grow, there are more opportunities for them to experience fear, and they stop breathing deeply into the belly. By the time a child is five years of age, they have been stressed enough that they lose the ability to connect with the Divine through the breath. The foundation of relaxation and being in the present moment is to just breathe. Deep breathing is a powerful way to connect with the Divine, that expansive loving and peaceful energy within. Deep breathing is also a great way to lower your heart rate and therefore relax. Breathing is the foundation for mindful meditation, which can help focus your thoughts and actions while you are fully present, and so are able to choose who you want to be and how you choose to respond in situations. The breath and mindfulness allows you to recognize your thoughts and therefore be in control of them, instead of them controlling you. Being mindful can help you slow your heartbeat and reduce negative thoughts. It has positive mental, spiritual and physical benefits, reducing your stress, anxiety and depression. Your breath and mindful thoughts even encourage better sleep and general well-being. And we all want that! There are many methods of practicing your breathing. One of my favorites is to inhale into the belly for a count of 6, hold for a count of 7, and release for a count of 8. Repeat this breath 10 times as a mindful meditation. Practice this breathing 3 times periodically during the day when you are not stressed to
40
create muscle memory. Before you get out of bed and when you are going to bed are great times to practice this breathing. To sleep, just repeat this breathing until you doze off. This breathing will calm your mind, get more oxygen into your blood system, and distract you from anxious or depressing thoughts. It actually triggers a reaction in your parasympathetic nervous system, up your vegas nerve, and tells your brain to be calm, that you are safe. Mindful meditation helps you learn to recognize and get your own thoughts under control. It helps you to be in the present moment and see different perspectives, rein in your thoughts and actions, and reduce anxiety and panic by slowing down your racing thoughts. Catch hold of your thoughts, look at them. Do you like them? Are those thoughts where you want your energy to go? If not, you can change them! Physical exercise has also been shown to reduce stress. Whether it is going to the gym or walking in your neighborhood, getting moving also moves your energy in general, releasing the energy that gets you stuck in anxiety, anger and depression. Emotions, after all, are only energy and like any energy, can be released with physical motion. Have a beef with your love? Take a walk together and talk about it. Walking together can release the energy, open you up to mindfully exploring and sharing your true self, allowing trust and connection in spirit. One of my first “homework” assignments to clients is asking them to keep a journal. Journals are a time-proven way to reduce stress, to recognize your thoughts and how they lead you to experience and perceive your life. You can identify your stressful thought triggers in your journal and reframe them into ways that produce less stress and depression. In fact, the very act of writing down your thoughts in a journal lets your subconscious mind work in your favor to help you see things in a more positive manner. And, the ritual of putting your thoughts on paper transfers all the mental thought energy out of your conscious and subconscious mind and allows you to let them go and gain different, more loving perspectives. Mindful thinking and journaling can give you the chance to realize that all is temporary. Most emotions are transient, unless you choose to hold onto them. Ask yourself, “Will this bother me in a year? Five years? Can I think of this differently?” Just breathing and using the above techniques to center yourself, helps you reduce your anxiety, anger and depression... allowing you to practice being stress-free and the more you practice being stress-free, the more your life becomes that. Feed the stress-free breath, movement and thoughts! Miche has been compassionately guiding people for over 25 years.

Spiritual Horoscope By Aluna Michaels, M.A.
Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22) — Happy birthday Virgo! Your year starts powerfully as energetic Mars moves into your sign. Examine your values and form goals that align with your authentic self. Then take action steps toward those goals, no matter how small the steps are. Selfesteem will skyrocket! You’ll also be a magnet for prosperity, and even a new relationship if single. Begin a fitness plan, knowing that a healthy body supports your new level of confidence and enhances emotional wellness. Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22) — Meditate on forgiveness. Certainly forgive others, but most importantly, forgive yourself. Cultivate self-compassion. This isn’t feeling sorry for yourself, but giving yourself unconditional love. Your intuition will provide answers to problems you’ve been struggling with. You can even get guidance from your dreams. Search your mind and heart for old resentments and frustrations you’ve had for the past two years (a Mars cycle) and let it all go so you can open to new love, peace and joy! Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) — Like Virgo friends, meditate on your values and goals. Do your friends share your dreams and passions? Do your daily activities support progress toward your goals? Scorpios find it easy to isolate, so it’s important to seek out a group of people who align with your vision and validate your world view. You might even open up to current acquaintances and begin a deeper friendship when you realize you have so much in common. People are more interesting than you give them credit for! Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) — This is an exciting work month! Now that Mercury is direct, seeds you planted in July or August can sprout in terms of hearing about new positions or projects.
42
You’ll be more focused and enthusiastic. Meditate on speaking thoughts of love. Remember that other people might need ideas to come at them gently, since they might be afraid of change. You’ll experience less resistance to your excitement. Also, incorporate movement into your meditation practice — yoga, tai chi, walking, etc.
send yourself love. Even if it seems goofy, touch your hand to your heart a few times a day and just breathe in the kindness you offer yourself. Having a good relationship with you improves connections with others! Aries (March 21 – April 19) — It’s not your strong suit, but cultivate patience! Small efforts yield major changes. Chew slower when eating. Breathe deeply when you’re tense, or even when excited. Plan time for stress reduction, like a yoga class or a massage appointment. Interestingly, you’ll notice more prosperity if you’re consistent with these changes. You’ll also get more done in less time — and with less stress and effort! A cool work project can be offered that you feel enthusiastic about, and have been waiting awhile for it to manifest.
Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) — Revitalize your spiritual practices! Explore new meditation CDs. You can also try walking meditations, qigong shaking, chanting, or vigorous yoga. Making a radical change helps you access your intuition in new ways. It’s also a great month to travel. Seeing life from a fresh perspective lifts your spirits and opens your heart to joy. Challenge yourself with affirmations. Repeat them and explore the resistance that arises. Continue on until you feel the statements to be true! Also, open your ears to hear positive things people say about you, because those things are true!!
Taurus (April 20 – May 20) — Have as much fun as possible this month! Mercury direct helps you tune into your passions. Make it your spiritual step to focus on joy, gratitude and playfulness! Even simple pleasures open a doorway to incredible mystical experiences. That’s part of your divine path as a Taurus, to feel the magic in the here and now. If you need to have important conversations with kids or your partner, you’ll have the exact words that illuminate and inspire them. If single, you can meet an exciting new love!
Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) — It’s a lifelong process to move toward interdependence, and away from “independence at all costs”. Meditating on trust releases past disappointments and betrayals. Drop the story that you have to be a “lone wolf”, even in close partnerships. Challenge yourself to open to the belief that you can blend with others without losing your individuality. Relationships that feel emotionally “triggering” right now are actually inviting you to grow beyond your limiting thoughts. Stick with them, stay conscious and break through!
Gemini (May 21 – June 20) — Mercury has moved direct, clearing up misunderstandings with family or other close people. Meditation reveals subconscious childhood triggers or other old emotional patterns that hold you back. Once you grasp the ins and outs of the pattern, notice when you’re going into it and say “Change!” to yourself. Alerting yourself in this way helps you move in new, positive directions of thought and belief that lead to better actions and a happier life! You can also have an job offer from out of the blue since someone is impressed with your capabilities.
Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20) — It’s an amazing relationship month! Meditate on your needs and write a list of your priorities and goals. If partnered, you can have breakthroughs that set things on a new fulfilling course. If single, you can attract a person who aligns with the standards you’ve been focusing on. Also practice self-forgiveness and

September 2017
Cancer (June 21 – July 22) — Mercury is direct now, so you can think clearly and make good decisions. Set limits (kindly, but strongly) with people who take advantage of your helpful spirit. You’ll feel less angry, and you can use that energy to manifest goals instead of just grumble to yourself! It’s a powerful time for affirmations, so choose some and use them! Meditate and tune into the feeling of really living from your chosen truth. Sustain that inner vision all day long. You’ll gain more respect from others and your self-esteem will grow. Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22) — This is an awesome prosperity month! Meditate on abundance. Remember that there is unlimited energy in the Universe, and money is merely a form of energy. What you focus on expands, so watch finances increase, and be aware of inspiring ideas that can lead to even more money! Also, if partnered, incorporate physical activity together so communication improves. Releasing tension by being active dispels the tensions that could become arguments.

Astrology for Your Soul
The Benefits of a Personal Retreat By Gwendolyn Esco Davis
When was the last time you took time out of your busy schedule, ... just to THINK? If we’re not careful, we can begin to mistake our ‘busyness’ for meaning, turning our lives into a checklist of to-dos that can occupy all the waking hours of our days and leave us breathless, with our feeling of friendships and relationships left incomplete. Busy lives can result in an abundance of acquaintances and a poverty of true friends. Several months ago while cleaning my office, I came across an article about taking time to think – a personal retreat. It noted that many of the most powerful and successful people spend hours a week just thinking. It allows clarity to flow-in. Have you ever been stuck on a project and when you step away from it you are renewed and have fresh ideas? I can recall when I was in graduate school; I just could not understand a particular concept. I struggled with it for weeks. One night I was up late studying and nothing was sticking. So I went downstairs and turned on the television – it was around 2:303:00 in the morning. The program was a painting on canvas class. I had no interest in the subject, so I watched it. The instructors voice was very monotone (the kind you can fall asleep to within minutes); he was explaining how the colors blend and what affect it has when using different tools. I turned off the television and sat on the patio – in silence. It seemed that within minutes my dilemma was clear. The problem I had been carrying for weeks was now crystal clear. I did nothing, but sat in silence to think – going inward. Know that all problems or dilemmas are not solved so easily – you may need silence to think a little longer. Knowing your purpose in life can also come crystal clear only if you give yourself time to think – a personal retreat. A retreat that will inspire you – a retreat to help motivate thought – a retreat to truly see and know your self-worth – a retreat to hear compiling stories of like-minded people who have some of the same issues in life as you – a retreat so you will value your alone time. A sense of purpose comes from within; only we know if we have it or not. Only we are aware if something in our life makes us want to get up in the morning. As Richard J. Leider states, “You may be one of the many who has always felt inside that there is something more you were meant to do with your life, and you would be very happy to live with a purpose if only you could find it.” There are some people who don’t like to be alone. If you don’t like to spend time with yourself, how can you expect someone else to spend time with you? Learn to spend time with You – in silence. Gwendolyn

Talking with a Symbolic “Mind & Body” Story Teller First what is a “Mind & Body” Story Teller? The obvious answer is that it’s a person that can read the Story your MIND is telling your BODY. We recently connected with Bill Helton who explains it like this: BILL: “I am a SYMBOLIC story teller who can read the challenges the MIND & BODY face in this virtual reality called LIFE. Chronic dis-ease, allergies, habits, etc., is speaking to the personality self trying to get a message across. The stubbornness of the e-GO limits the reception to the TRUE SELF in order to rule the air waves with its intention. I can help translate the hidden meaning.” GUIDE: As with all Symbology there are hidden messages and your body stores these messages about you.. here is more from Bill on how you acquired them: BILL: “No matter the hardship everything folds within itself producing a better outcome than before, even in dark places. The physical BODY is but a tool to be used and cherished by the ONE/SOUL hosting the flesh suit whilst traveling through this experience. The key is learning to decipher the language of the BODY, which is only a composition of past beliefs the SOUL acquired from their sojourn.” “SPIRT, MIND, BODY IS THE CHANNEL FORM CAME TO EXIST” GUIDE: We asked Bill about the benefit of connecting with a Symbolic “Mind & Body” Storyteller… BILL: My objective is to help assist a person in having a profound subjective experience that ONLY they can explain. Whether they are struggling in business, relationships, illness, addiction, nutrition, religious guilt, death issues, or just trying to come to a better understanding of what this reality is all about, reading the symbols shows them how it’s really all about them.
the UNIverse’s principals the quicker the door to a beautiful reality shows itself. GUIDE: That’s beautiful, how long have you been integrating the “UNIversal principals? BILL: I have spent over a decade on the MIND journey campaign to bring clarity to a world filled with everything but. The human language holds power within its tone, which can either be detrimental or beneficial depending on the intent given. The material world is nothing more than the outer crust of our internal belief system. GUIDE: What has kept you going on this path? BILL: Just to explore the unseen to make sense of our existence so that our PURPOSE to being here can be seen in BOLD LETTERS and felt with the HEART. “TAKE APART THE OBVIOUS TO SEE THE TRUTH” GUIDE: So it’s quite different that you don’t have a set cost for your services, why is that? BILL: I look forward to walking along side to witness a persons TRUE potential expressed and I believe EveryBODY deserves to be assisted regardless of their economic condition so my help is driven on a donation bases. GUIDE: So how can the readers connect with you for use your services or find out more? BILL: Well they can just give me a call to set up an appointment or even connect with me on facebook. I’m always happy to connect and I’m also forming a ‘Community Get Together” to discuss life and connect. GUIDE: Bill is a long time owner of several successful businesses in Taylor, MI, including MBN Studio, 22265 Goddard Road, at Pardee and Goddard, you can call him at: 734.225.7700
GUIDE: Is this “Storytelling” something that helps people right away, or does it take a long time for them to understand how the story connects to them? BILL: I feel once you begin to KNOW who and what you really are everything will begin to make sense so people catch on pretty quick. And with this comes more comPASSION, LOVE, and FORGIVEness for SELF, and toward those within your circle of influence. The sooner ONE becomes integrated with 44

“Center for Spiritual Living” Opens in Detroit! By Rev. Noreen Keller
Hello all you beautiful Spirits. It is with boundless joy and excitement that I introduce myself, my name is Noreen Keller. And since graduating from Ministerial school a year ago, I now get to call myself Rev. Noreen Keller, founding Minister and Spiritual Leader for the First Center for Spiritual Living in Michigan; Detroit Center for Spiritual Living! The Detroit Center for Spiritual Living is a New Thought metaphysical teaching, under the Founder of Centers for Spiritual Living, originally called Religious Science, Ernest Holmes, author of the text, Science of Mind and Spirit. This teaching is a philosophy based on transforming an individual’s life through changing old limiting belief’s that no longer serve to the highest and greatest good an individual chooses to experience. This is a teaching allowing an individual to come to the knowing and understanding that each of us has the power within to change our life to that of a life filled with joy, abundance, love, good and all that we really KNOW our life is supposed to be, right! It is a guide for us to experience this greater good in ALL moments of life. It has brought me in my own life to the heights of awareness in almost every moment (always working toward that higher level of consciousness) of being and living from the principles that I have embodied from the philosophy and applying it in my life. I invite you to come and be in this high vibrational energy as we together create this new community with this vision and commitment of creating a world that works for everyone and everything! Here are some testimonials from a few beautiful souls that have walked this journey and what it has meant for each of them. -- I was introduced to Science of Mind in 1995 and have
been connected ever since. Although I had a more traditional religious upbringing, the spiritual philosophy resonated with me immediately. In overly simplistic terms, I would describe the philosophy as one rooted in the love of all, acknowledgment of the one Divine presence available for everyone’s good and a practical application of spiritual laws for good. Science of Mind (SOM) principles can supplement existing beliefs or be the core of one’s beliefs. I have personally adopted this philosophy and have been experiencing a greater sense of understanding, peace, joy and love. I am so happy that Rev. Noreen and the Detroit Center for Spiritual Living are back in Michigan! Nikkie Elder -The first time I walked into the Science of Mind study group it felt like walking into a family gathering; like walking into a family dinner that had already begun in my childhood home. I was a little ‘late for dinner’ but it didn’t matter. I was immediately welcomed and accepted. That was several years ago, and my life is now so much richer, fuller. I am no longer self-conscience or worried. Rev. Noreen’s natural beauty, joy and radiance drew me in, ready to explore and joyfully and courageously engage! SOM has guided my spiritual exploration; I’ve finally found my path! Suzie Karls -- Science of Mind Study Group & Detroit Center for Spiritual Living; I’ve experienced both groups from their start, and am very happy and grateful to have done so. While Detroit CSL holds full church services on Sundays, the SOM group is primarily a Study group engaged in studies and discussions of the Principles of Science of Mind. Both are led by Rev. Noreen Keller, a truly dynamic and engaging leader. SOM principles teach the relationship between God [Spirit/ Universal Mind] and the created forms of life, [including humanity] and emphasizes the LOVE and God’s Givingness in this relationship. Further, the teachings emphasize the unity among people; its mission is: “ A world that works for everyone”. Andrew Anyanonu
