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!

Will Being Happier Make You Healthier?

partner they enjoy being with and can share positive personal experiences with. By the same token, having an inner circle of three or more friends whom you can call for help and who are positive in their outlook is a big factor in being happy.

There are now hundreds, if not thousands, of studies in the literature on happiness. One of the interesting findings is that happy people are also healthier. Not only does being happy lead to better health, but it leads to better relationships, better decision making, living longer, higher incomes, having more friends, greater productivity, longer marriages, higher quality work, stronger immune systems, lower stress levels, and less pain. Also, positive emotions broaden your outlook or awareness, and you are able to take in more information. Negative emotions narrow your view.

People who care about others tend to be happier. Having empathy is very important. In addition, it is helpful to cultivate generosity. Be generous with both your time and your resources. Be interesting and interested in others, and practice kindness. One interesting finding was that it is much better to spend your money on experiences rather than on material possessions. The joy of the material possessions will soon fade. Having enjoyable experiences will add up and contribute to your happiness. Another helpful suggestion included taking up meditation. Just three months of regular meditation will have very beneficial effects and lead to an upward spiral. Getting involved with a religion or spirituality is recommended if that is something you would be comfortable with.

With all these benefits, you are probably wondering if there is anything you can do to be happier. The answer is yes. There are a variety of things that people can do to increase their level of happiness. Here are some suggestions from the various studies. Exercise regularly. Get at least 30 minutes of physical exercise daily. Exercising boosts your mood and increases your energy level. It releases endorphins which make you feel better. It also enhances your sleep, which is very important. It is recommended that you get at least seven and one-half hours of sleep per night. People who get less than six hours of sleep are 30% less happy than if they would have gotten enough sleep. Another finding is the importance of looking on the bright side, especially when coping with difficulties. Being optimistic about the future will greatly improve your level of happiness. The studies have shown that a negative emotion can be quite detrimental; it is important not to dwell on negative thoughts. Furthermore, being appreciative and expressing gratitude is also quite helpful.

One very important point was to commit to cultivating wellbeing over the long term. You must commit to a disciplined program of interventions every day. For most of us, this is not that easy. However, there are ways to create these important habits and make them last. One excellent method is with the use of hypnosis. Hypnosis can help you eliminate unwanted habits and create more desirable ones. It can enable you to remove the resistance and any subconscious blocks that may be stopping your good intentions. Hypnosis is safe and does not require a lot of time. Phillip Rosenbaum If you are interested in increasing your health and happiness, hypnosis may be just what you are looking for. To find out more, call Phil Rosenbaum at 248-688-6469. A great many studies have shown that hypnosis is effective, so why not take advantage of it?

Another very important finding is the importance of setting goals and monitoring your progress. For example, one possible goal is to identify areas of interests and then pursue them. You might want to join a club or do volunteer work that has special meaning for you. In addition, visualizing your best possible self and imagining your best future will definitely increase your level of happiness. Recognize the things that make you happy and repeat them.

Old Habits & Negative Thought Patterns Keeping you Stuck? Get Unstuck Now with Hypnosis

Having strong interpersonal relationships was high the happiness scale. It is important to love someone. People who tend to be loners are usually less happy than those who have a

Michigan Astrological Forecast 2018

· July thru September 2018: Transiting Uranus Square Progressed Mercury.

When looking at the State of Michigan chart using January 26, 1837 Detroit, MI, we find some interesting and challenging potentials for the upcoming year. The following are the major planetary aspects that Michigan will be experiencing in 2018:

Beginning in December 2017 the Progressed Mars (which deals with conflict and confrontation) will conjoin the Natal Moon (which deals with the masses, the common man, and women, including our attitudes around the feminine side of the collective consciousness). With all that is going on around sexual harassment, there is good potential this will come to the forefront in Michigan. John Conyers resigned from public office

· December 2017 to September 2019: Progressed Mars conjoined Natal Moon.

due to allegations of sexual misconduct, and he is probably not the last.

· January thru March, May, June, August, September, and November 2018: Transiting Saturn Sextile Natal and Progressed Uranus.

At the very least there will be heated discussions around this issue. This will continue into 2019; however, starting in June transiting Uranus (a planet that helps us to find the truth through chaos and disruption) will Quincunx both the Natal Moon and Progressed Mars. At this time things will explode in unexpected ways -- one of which could be backlash. However, all the chaos and disruption will help us to see the truth, but the truth will probably be something unexpected.

By Richard Weber

· February, March, and October thru December 2018: Transiting Neptune Quincunx Natal Jupiter. · March thru May 2018: Transiting Pluto Quincunx Natal Mars. · March thru May and December 2018: Transiting Saturn Conjoined Natal Venus · May thru July 2018: Transiting Neptune Trine Natal Saturn. · June thru October 2018: Transiting Uranus Quincunx Natal Moon. · June thru October 2018: Transiting Uranus Quincunx Progressed Mars.

Adding to the issue of sexual harassment, starting in February transiting Neptune (the planet that deals with illusions and misperceptions, but also gives clarity, hope, and well-being) will Quincunx natal Jupiter (the planet that deals with our common beliefs and the law). Under this influence we will be dealing with issues (one of which could be sexual harassment) where there is confusion about whether this is inappropriate behavior, and/or whether there are legal implications. In January, transiting Saturn (the planet of responsibility,

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

JANUARY 2018

restriction, and builds structures) will sextile Uranus (which relates to society in general and the automobile industry). Since the automotive industry is centered in Michigan, and automobiles rule the chart of Michigan (Gemini Ascendant) this is very important. Since a sextile is a beneficial aspect, the automotive industry will continue to grow and prosper, and it is also an opportunity for automobile companies to build for the future. Starting in March, Transiting Pluto (who’s transformative influence forces us to see those things that are usually hidden) will Quincunx Natal Mars (which deals with the police). Under this influence there will be issues that will come up around the police forces in this state. This could be corruption, problems that arise around the way civilians are being treated, or issues related to a lack of training. Also in March, transiting Saturn will Conjoin Natal Venus (which deals with the arts, entertainment, and financial institutions). We will probably experience some financial belt-tightening due to austerity measures designed to help balance the budget. However, in May, transiting Neptune will Trine Natal Saturn (which represents our governmental institutions that give order to our lives). Under this influence we will get clarity around our governmental agencies and have a feeling of well-being as to the job that they are doing. During July, transiting Uranus will Square the Progressed Mercury (which deals with our systems of communication, automobiles, public health, and public transportation). Under this influence there could be disruption in communication systems, problems with automobiles (possibly a recall), a public health alert, and/or problems with public transportation.

Ancient Body Clock Discovered That Helps Keep All Living Things On Time! The mechanism that controls the internal 24-hour clock of all forms of life from human cells to algae has been identified by scientists. Not only does the research provide important insight into health-related problems linked to individuals with disrupted clocks - such as pilots and shift workers - it also indicates that the 24-hour circadian clock found in human cells is the same as that found in algae and dates back millions of years to early life on Earth. Two new studies out tomorrow, 27 January, in the journal Nature from the Universities of Cambridge and Edinburgh give insight into the circadian clock which controls patterns of daily and seasonal activity, from sleep cycles to butterfly migrations. One study, from the Institute of Metabolic Science at the University of Cambridge, has for the first time identified 24-hour rhythms in red blood cells. This is significant because circadian rhythms have always been assumed to be linked to DNA and gene activity, but - unlike most of the other cells in the body - red blood cells do not have DNA. Akhilesh Reddy, from the University of Cambridge and lead author of the study, said: “We know that clocks exist in all our cells; they’re hard-wired into the cell. Imagine what we’d be like without a clock to guide us through our days. The cell would be in the same position if it didn’t have a clock to coordinate its daily activities. “The implications of this for health are manifold. We already know that disrupted clocks - for example, caused by shiftwork and jet-lag - are associated with JANUARY 2018

metabolic disorders such as diabetes, mental health problems and even cancer. By furthering our knowledge of how the 24-hour clock in cells works, we hope that the links to these disorders - and others - will be made clearer. This will, in the longer term, lead to new therapies that we couldn’t even have thought about a couple of years ago.”

darkness, their DNA was no longer active, but the algae kept their circadian clocks ticking without active genes. Scientists had thought that the circadian clock was driven by gene activity, but both the algae and the red blood cells kept time without it.

For the study, the scientists, funded by the Wellcome Trust, incubated purified red blood cells from healthy volunteers in the dark and at body temperature, and sampled them at regular intervals for several days. They then examined the levels of biochemical markers - proteins called peroxiredoxins - that are produced in high levels in blood and found that they underwent a 24-hour cycle. Peroxiredoxins are found in virtually all known organisms.

Andrew Millar of the University of Edinburgh’s School of Biological Sciences, who led the study, said: “This groundbreaking research shows that body clocks are ancient mechanisms that have stayed with us through a billion years of evolution. They must be far more important and sophisticated than we previously realised. More work is needed to determine how and why these clocks developed in people - and most likely all other living things on earth - and what role they play in controlling our bodies.”

A further study, by scientists working together at the Universities of Edinburgh and Cambridge, and the Observatoire Oceanologique in Banyuls, France, found a similar 24-hour cycle in marine algae, indicating that internal body clocks have always been important, even for ancient forms of life.

Additional funding for the studies was provided by the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council, the Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council, the Medical Research Council, the French Agence Nationale de la Recherche, and the National Institute of Health Research.

The researchers in this study found the rhythms by sampling the peroxiredoxins in algae at regular intervals over several days. When the algae were kept in

A Modern Look at the Ancient Body Clock

Sometimes, vulnerable thoughts or feelings of abandonment my subconsciously arise at this time. 3-5pm is the time of the Bladder when metabolic wastes move into the kidneyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s filtration system. This is the perfect time to study or complete brain-challenging work.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine it is believed that each organ has its point of highest energy and lowest energy.

Another cup of tea is advised as is drinking a lot of water to help aid detoxification processes. Feeling irritated or timid may also occur at this time.

This 24 hour cycle is believed to help us know when to exercise, eat, have sex, rest and sleep. It also acts as a way to communicate with a particular organ or meridian (see chart)the energy channel of the body.

5-7pm is the time of the Kidneys when the blood is filtered and the kidneys work to maintain proper chemical balance.

5 am to 7 am is the time of the Large Intestine making it a perfect time to have a bowel movement and remove toxins from the day before. It is also the ideal time to wash your body and comb your hair. It is believed that combing your hair helps to clear out energy from the mind. At this time, emotions of defensiveness or feelings of being stuck could be evoked. 7-9am is the time of the Stomach so it is important to eat the biggest meal of the day here to optimize digestion and absorption. Warm meals that are high in nutrition are best in the morning. Emotions that are likely to be stirred at this time include disgust or despair. 9-11am is the time of the Pancreas and Spleen, where enzymes are released to help digest food and release energy for the day ahead. This is the ideal time to exercise and work. Do your most taxing tasks of the day at this time. Emotions such as low self-esteem may be felt at this time. 11am- 1pm is the time of the Heart which will work to pump nutrients around the body to help provide you with energy and nutrition. This is also a good time to eat lunch and it is recommend to have a light, cooked meal. Having a one hour nap or a cup of tea is also recommended during this time. Feelings of extreme joy or sadness can also be experienced at this time. 1-3pm is the time of the Small Intestine and is when food eaten earlier will complete its digestion and assimilation. This is also a good time to go about daily tasks or exercise. 12

This is the perfect time to have dinner and to activate your circulation either by walking, having a massage or stretching. Subconscious thoughts of fear or terror can also be active at this time. 7-9pm is the time of Circulation when nutrients are carried to the capillaries and to each cell. This is the perfect time to read. Avoid doing mental activities at this time. A difficulty in expressing emotions may also be felt however, this is the perfect time to have sex or conceive. 9-11pm is the time of Triple Heater or endocrine system where the bodyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s homeostasis is adjusted and enzymes are replenished. It is recommended to sleep at this time so the body can conserve energy for the following day. Feelings of paranoia or confusion may also be felt. 11pm-1am is the time of the Gall Bladder and in order to wake feeling energized the body should be at rest. In Chinese medicine, this period of time is when yin energy fades ad yang energy begins to grow. Yang energy helps you to keep active during the day and is stored when you are asleep. Subconscious feelings of resentment may appear during this time. 1-3am is the time of the Liver and a time when the body should be alseep. During this time, toxins are released from the body and fresh new blood is made. If you find yourself waking during this time, you could have too much yang energy or problems with your liver or detoxification pathways. This is also the time of anger, frustration and rage. 3-5am the time of the Lungs and again, this is the time where

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

JANUARY 2018

the body should be asleep. If woken at this time, nerve soothing exercises are recommended such as breathing exercises. The body should be kept warm at this time too to help the lungs replenish the body with oxygen. The lungs are also associated with feelings of grief and sadness. Chinese Medicine practitioners use this clock to help them determine the organ responsible for disease. For example, if you find yourself waking up between the hours of 3-5am each morning, you may have underlying grief or sadness that is

JANUARY 2018

bothering you or you may have a condition in the lung area. If feelings of anger or resentment arise, you may feel them strongest during the time of the Liver which is 1-3am or perhaps if you experience back pain at the end of your working day, you could have pent up emotions of fear, or perhaps even Kidney issues.

A Great Start to the New Year! By Dr. William H. Karl, D.C.

Disease is typically the result of damaged nervous systems (unable to direct the body’s functions), lack of specific nutrients, and an excess of poisons. To stay healthy and avoid disease, we need to avoid poisons in the environment as well as in our food. Poisons in modern-day food includes a long list of altered sugars and artificial sweeteners which lead to inflammation and fibrosis that eventually results in disease, structural damage, aging, and death. Wow! And all you were trying to do

different fruits and vegetables of a variety of colors each day. We’ve found some economical ways to help you do this and look forward to sharing them with you at our workshop on January 11th.

Getting off sugar is perhaps the best thing you can do for your brain as well as your waistline. Because sugar requires insulin, the more sugar you ingest, the more insulin is required which can eventually wear out your pancreas. Many people don’t realize that the pancreas is responsible for doing much more than regulating sugar. If you take the I believe that age should be defined pancreas off its other life-supporting tasks because you have a sweet by retention of abilities rather than tooth, you may pay a big price for years spent on this earth. your indulgence, including diabetes, cancer, or even pancreatic failure.

Ringing in the New Year means time to start looking back, reevaluating, and committing to new goals. Changing one’s diet and exercising more are some of the most common goals - often sworn in over pizza and beer. Sound familiar? OK, now for the serious stuff… It’s been estimated that the average American will spend 80% of their savings in the last 20% of their life on healthcare costs. Rather than having money to enjoy their golden years, their savings are exhausted while trying to hold onto their health. To help you avoid this in your future, I hope you’ll make year-long/lifelong commitments, not only New Year’s resolutions for 2018.

With so many diet plans and information on the everywhere, it’s become very confusing. This is understandable because if one diet worked reliably for everyone, it would be wildly popular and we’d be back to the lean people we were 75 or more years ago. Although obesity, diabetes, and cancer weren’t as prevalent one-hundred years ago, pioneers in the field of natural healthcare were trying to develop an understanding of the factors leading to compromised health. In the early 1900’s, Dr. Pottenger Jr. began investigating the diets and hormones that contributed to obesity. Already on the path to understanding the role of clean, chemical-free foods as they contribute to long lasting health, he conducted experiments with hundreds of cats. In his experiments, cats that ate raw food and raw milk stayed the healthiest, as did their offspring. We now know that raw diary (from grass-fed animals) contains healthy CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) along with many other beneficial substances. 14

~Dr. William H. Karl D.C.

The next best thing you can do for your brain is feeding it raw, naturally fermented coconut oil. The less processed the coconut oil the better. Coconut oil turns into a ketone which your brain burns for fuel without needing insulin. Lots of my patients have had amazing results with coconut oil. It isn’t just for those with growing cobwebs in their heads!

was avoid some calories… I believe that age should be defined by retention of abilities rather than years spent on this earth. The rate at which the physical body ages is influenced by the amount of proteolytic enzymes in the body. Although we have lots of these proteolytic enzymes when we’re young, they decrease with age for presently unexplained reasons. When we’re injured or have bodily damage, these proteolytic enzymes break down the resulting fibrous tissue surrounding the damaged area. The fibrous net of scar tissue that forms makes it appear as if we’ve aged because scar tissue interferes with normal functioning. While a small number of chronologically older people may not appear to have reduced abilities, the majority of adults benefit from supplemental proteolytic enzymes because life is hard on a body. Few people go through life unscathed.

The body is designed to burn a variety of healthy oils and shows appreciation for having ample amounts, responding with increased metabolism and immune function, healthier skin and nails, etc. When it comes to fat-burning, GLA (gamma linolenic acid) and CLA (conjugated linoleic acid) are often overlooked and underutilized. GLA stimulates the underactive brown fat in overweight individuals to become more active which helps burn more calories. Over 500 published research studies support CLA’s ability to exert positive effects on weight loss, preventing and controlling type 2 diabetes, protecting against heart disease, reducing the risk of atherosclerosis and modulating immune response (Healthy Fats for Life, 2004).

Age is also related to one’s mental abilities. Eating fruits and vegetables in a variety of colors provides a range of antioxidants necessary to maintain a healthy body and mind. All major nutrition studies tell us we need at least 10

Excessive body fat is dangerous. When

JANUARY 2018

fat accumulates around organs, it interferes with their functions. In the past, certain sugars called fructose (fruit sugar) had the job of accumulating fat around our bellies to get us through lean times. We burned off the fat, turning it into ketones as needed. Since then, many things have changed. We no longer have lean times each year and most people regularly ingest poisons (including estrogen-like substances) which promote more belly fat and inhibit fat burning. Belly fat has an enzyme called aromatase that turns muscle producing testosterone into more estrogen, resulting in more belly fat. Certain foods inhibit estrogen uptake in the body while others are estrogenic. Many people are surprised to learn that foods they think are healthy actually promote early dysfunction and hormonal imbalances.

ARISE

New Year, New You! Wellness Expo is Jan. 6 at Royal Oak Farmers Market

By Neville Goddard, written in the 1930’s & a testament that wisdom is timeless.

Event joins popular Saturday morning market to kick off a healthy 2018 MI Green Team, organizer of Michigan’s largest green and healthy community events, is pleased to announce its second annual New Year, New You! Wellness Expo at the historic Royal Oak Farmers Market. The expo will be held indoors on Saturday, Jan. 6, in tandem with the popular Saturday morning farmers market. The new year’s first major healthy living expo will showcase dozens of products and services for a healthier body, mind, home, family, pet and more. Many exhibitors will offer show specials, free samples and door prizes. Health advocates will offer expert presentations, programs and demonstrations. Event-goers will enjoy live music, free massage, concessions and the Saturday farmers market. Admission and on-site parking are free of charge. “We’re excited about the response the first event received last year,” said John Batdorf, expo manager. “This year’s expo will offer an even bigger and better celebration of a happy new year and a healthy new you!” The Expo takes place from 8 a.m. through 1 p.m. at the Royal Oak Farmers Market shed, 316 E. 11 Mile Rd. Event details, directions, and VIP tickets -- which include a Lolë goodie bag and door prize drawing entry -are available at NYNYWE.com. MI Green Team L3C (MGT) mission is to promote healthy living, business, community and environment. MGT is a Michigan “low-profit, LLC,” an innovative business entity that uses business best practices to pursue a socially beneficial purpose.

When our great scientist, Dr. Robert Millikan was young and very poor he set a goal for himself. Condensing his dream of greatness and security into a simple statement, he silently repeated the thought over and over again. This he did until the feeling of greatness and security crowded all other thoughts out of his consciousness. These are his words: “I have a lavish, steady, dependable income, consistent with integrity and mutual benefit”

world reshapes itself in harmony with the level to which we have risen. One whose prayer has been granted, rises from his prayer a better man.

As I have said repeatedly, everything depends upon your attitude towards yourself! That which you will not affirm as true of yourself cannot develop in your life!

To change your present state you, like Dr. Millikan, must rise to a higher level of consciousness. This rise is accomplished by affirming that you already are what you want to be, and assuming the feeling of your fulfilled desire.

Dr. Millikan wrote his dream of greatness and security in the first person, present tense. He did not say, “I will be great,” or “I will be secure,” implying that he was not great and secure. Instead, he made his future dream a present fact by saying, “I have a lavish, steady, dependable income, consistent with integrity and mutual benefit.”

The drama of life is a psychological one, brought about by your attitudes rather than by your acts. There is no escape from your present predicament other than a radical psychological transformation. Everything depends upon your attitude towards yourself, as that which you will not affirm as true of yourself, will not develop in your life.

If you seek to realize your future dream, it must become a present fact in your mind. You must experience, in imagination, what you would experience in reality if you had achieved your goal, for the soul, imagining itself into a situation, takes on the results of that imaginary act. If it does not, the goal remains unfulfilled.

The meek men of the gospels are not the proverbial poor, groveling door mats, as a meek man is generally conceived to be, but the Dr. Millikan’s of the world who, while poor and unproven, dare to assume wealth and greatness.

The purpose of this teaching is to stir the highest in you to confidence and self assertion. The command constantly given us in scripture is to arise. If we are to understand the reason for this, we must recognize that the universe, understood internally, is an infinite series of levels, and man is what he is according to where he is in that series.

These are the men who inherit the earth. Any concept of self less than the best robs you, and the promise is, “Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.” In the original text, the word translated “meek” means “tamed, as a wild animal is tamed.” A tamed mind may be likened to a pruned vine of which it is said, “Behold this vine. I found it a wild tree

As we lift up our consciousness, our

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

JANUARY 2018

whose wanton strength had swollen into irregular twigs. But I pruned the plant and it grew temperate in its vain expense of useless leaves, and knotted as you see into these clean, full clusters to repay the hand that wisely wounded it.” A meek man is so self-disciplined he sees only the finest and thinks only the best. He is the one who fulfills the statement, “Whatsoever things are true, whatsoever things are honest, whatsoever things are just, whatsoever things are pure, whatsoever things are lovely, whatsoever things are of good report; if there be any virtue and if there be any praise, think on these things.” We rise to a higher level of consciousness, not because we have curbed our passions, but because we have cultivated our virtues. In truth, a meek man is one who is in complete control of his moods. And they are the highest, for he who desires to walk with the highest, must keep a high mood. It is my belief that all men can change the course of their lives. I believe that Dr. Millikan’s technique of making his desire a present fact is of great importance. His high purpose was to be of mutual benefit which is, inevitably the goal of us all. It is much easier to imagine the good for all, than to be purely selfish in our imagining. By our imagination we can change our future, and to the man of high purpose, this is a natural measure. If you are observant, you will notice the swift echo or response to your every mood and key it to the circumstances of your daily life. When you understand the relationship between circumstances, you will know that everyone you meet is part of yourself. In the creation of a new life, you must begin with a change of mood which opens the door to a higher level. Start now to mold your life around a community of high moods. Individuals, as well as communities, grow spiritually in proportion to their higher ideals. If your ideal is low, you JANUARY 2018

sink to its depths, but if it is exalted, you are elevated to heights unimagined. You must keep a high mood if you would walk with the highest. All forms of creative imagination imply elements of feeling, for it is the ferment without which no creation is possible. There is nothing wrong with the desire to transcend your present state. The world would not progress without man’s dissatisfaction with himself. It is natural to seek a more beautiful personal life. It is right to wish for greater understanding, health and security. This is so beautifully stated in the 16th chapter of the Book of John, “Heretofore you have asked nothing in my name. Ask, and you shall receive that your joy may be full.” Accept my challenge! Embody a new and higher value of yourself as Dr. Millikan did. A nation can exhibit no greater wisdom in the mass than it generates in its units. For this reason, I have always preached self-help. Knowing that if we embody a new and higher concept of ourselves, all other help will be at our service.

* 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 ideal you serve and hope to achieve is ready and waiting for a new incarnation, but it is incapable of birth unless you offer it human parentage. You must assume that you already are what you hope to be and live as though you were. You must know, like Dr. Millikan did, that your assumption, though false to the outer world, will harden into fact by your persistence. The perfect man judges not after appearances, but judges righteously. He hears what he wants to hear and sees only the good. Knowing the truth that sets him free, he is lead to all good. Character is largely the result of the direction and persistence of voluntary action; therefore, think truly and your thoughts shall the world’s famine feed. Speak truly and each word shall be a fruitful seed. Live truly and your life shall be a great and noble creed.

Healing Families After the Holidays

· Dad may feel a distance and difficulty crossing barriers caused by upbringing and things he learned from his own parents. It may make him sad and lonely, even while he is enjoying being with his family.

By Eve Wilson

Many people rush toward holiday family gatherings with joy, others drag their feet but go anyway, and some choose not to participate at all. Family holidays present many challenges and even greater opportunities for healing. Here is my Healer’s perspective on the bigger gifts in retrospect after the holidays. Why are family holidays so loaded, and what are some opportunities for healing? · Small children are blissed out with all the fun! Everyone is glad to see the people they love, even if that love is edged with limitations or challenges. But shadows of the past may seem to hover at the edge of vision, and there may be an inner tension and an outer feeling of expansion all at the same time. · Mom looks at her adult children and may be both amazed at their strengths and gifts, and aware of her shortfalls in raising them and how those are still holding them back in important ways. She may wish that she had been as mature as she is now when they were small.

· Adult children may feel as though they return to the family home and regress to a less mature way of seeing themselves. Sibling relationships can facilitate these feelings, replaying all the old ego dynamics, as can relationships with parents. · Where there has been abuse of substances, or emotional, mental or physical abuse all these will be multiplied exponentially. As a Healer who works with the dynamics of soul groups (those that incarnate together repeatedly to evolve and ascend) I feel honored when invited to work with an individual member of a family to access their family dynamic including genetic and soul group contracts. I am deeply respectful of each person’s roles and the greater purposes unfolding in the family. I work to strengthen the positives, so people can own the gifts they have earned and be empowered by them, and help the negatives be resolved and released as people are ready to do so. Perhaps you can imagine how as a Spiritual Healer, I can rise above the individuals and their experiences to the equivalent of a satellite view. From there I can see into the past and into the

future of family and soul group. Repeating patterns emerge including dynamics and roles, limitations, strengths and gifts, obstructions, diseases and the purposes they each fulfill. My attention is drawn to a time and place where an insertion of unconditional love, compassion and healing would be welcomed into the stream of time past, present or future.

Enjoy the Journey; Turning Goals into Joy! By Susan deCaussin

This will act as a damn breaker to set free the true nature of body, emotion, mind, spirit and soul for each one affected, when they are ready to receive it. Healing of wounds from the past allows clearing of the toxic debris of life and change. Then the wisdom and strength of each soul in the future can be brought back through time to ease the transition further, making changes seem to be natural and familiar, although they are new.

It’s the New Year and, for many, it’s time to contemplate where life will take them next. What opportunities they’ll be provided. What challenges they’ll face. As we move into 2018, it’s good to understand the concept of goal setting and how it can affect your ability to live a joy-filled life.

I love how I can see that an individual who is very strong, but who sees themselves as vulnerable, weak or lacking influence, may quite reasonably perceive an overbearing individual as a persecutor in their lives. But from this spiritual “satellite” perspective it can be seen that the persecutor is pushing that individual to release their selflimitation and claim their own authority and power.

From the moment we are born into this world, there’s a list of predetermined goals waiting for us. From our first step and our first word, to our graduation from school and our first job, and it continues on throughout our lifetime. And, with each of these benchmarks, our desires, coupled with the expectations of those around us, bring about new aspirations. It’s a normal part of progressing through life.

Like the oppositional weight on a workout machine, the individual may feel like they continue to draw these types of challenges from the world around and feel weaker because of it; when really, they are getting stronger and developing the needed muscles to be whole. They feel weaker because the weight continues to increase until they reach a point where these issues become easy for them to handle. Knowing that this is the case, can help them choose to step into their power and then no longer require that outer resistance and opposition to grow.

By definition, a goal is the result or achievement toward which effort is directed. In a positive light, goal setting can help propel you toward a desired outcome by encouraging forward motion. Giving you the nudge to take action, rather than sit on the sidelines. Encouraging you to fully participate in your life story.

There are soul contracts at work in all our relationships, but most strongly in our families of origin. The dynamics we contract for in childhood become the basis for fulfillment of our purpose in the world. Even if we choose not to spend time with our families, these lessons continue to make us grow. Families are impactful teachers, whether teaching through love or something less than love; the gifts are nonetheless valuable and needed. The strengths you gain by growing and healing through your experiences provide leverage in spirit for others who need it. We are all connected, and you are a gift, always.

However, the act of goal setting can sometimes indirectly instill the belief that happiness isn’t achievable until you’ve reached the point of accomplishing that objective – suggesting that happiness can’t be enjoyed until you’ve arrived at a specific place, or state of being. Taking action and moving forward are necessary in the process of manifesting the life you desire. However, you can’t allow yourself to become too focused on what lies ahead, at the risk of delaying happiness and contentment. Instead, it’s important to fully engage in the one thing you have total control over, which is living completely in the present moment. At this time of year, all too often, people place lofty goals by adopting New Year’s resolutions, such as, I want to work out regularly; I resolve to eat a healthier diet; I intend to go back to school. They can become so fixated on the end result, that their life doesn’t feel complete without it. Then, whether or not the goal is reached, each day leading up to that achievement can be spent moving along with blinders on, never really drinking up the experiences along the way. The important message I’d like to convey is that life is, and should always be, about the journey. Goal setting is good, but not at the expense of giving up the opportunity to fully

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

P a g e 21

appreciate the people, places, experiences and challenges along the way. When you’re truly able to balance living in the moment with moving toward your goals, you’ll avoid missing out on all of the beauty that life has to offer. Then, whether or not those goals are reached, your days will be filled with joy and contentment. I wish you all a happy, healthy and abundant 2018!

Regain your Inner Peace; A Message of Strength! By Chrissie Blaze

Each day – and this New Year ahead – is a blank canvas. There is stillness and quietude in the ethers as the new dawn arises. There is a feeling of possibility, of optimism, of hope and of expectancy. The days stretch out before us, as yet untouched by our desires, our choices, our mistakes and our achievements. There is a freshness of hours and minutes as yet untouched. Let us regard the year ahead as an opportunity for growth. The urgency of this time of change requires that more of us become agents of positive change than ever before. It is essential now more than ever that awakened souls of every background and belief system, put their concern and love into action for the world.

AVAILABLE NOW

With all the challenges and tragedies witnessed over the past year, it is clearer than ever that our true destiny is not just about materialistic pursuits and the everyday things we all have to do to earn a living – but more importantly, to awaken ever more fully to our innate Spirituality. If we do not do this, how shall we cope with another year of terrorist attacks, war, injustice, and man’s inhumanity to man? How can we cope with national and international challenges, of the very basest kind? How can we overcome fear and the constant destruction of our values, our integrity and our morals? How can we live in peace, surrounded by love and all that is good? Spirituality is the key, for it makes sense of it all. When put into practice, it enables us to discern Truth and to regain our nobility and inner peace – even in the midst of chaos. When we realize that we are Spiritual beings moving through many lifetimes, dealing with karmic patterns that bring joy and opportunity, as well as steep character-building hills to climb; meeting again those we love – and those we are learning to love – when we fully realize this, we are liberated. Never again can we be victims! Never again can we allow fear to rear its ugly head when challenges arise! In the words of the great Yogi Saint, Swami Vivekananda – “Stand up, be bold, be strong. Take the whole responsibility on your own shoulders, and know that you are the creator of your own destiny.”

man brave enough to stand, if necessary, completely alone in the midst of his fellow man and still be unafraid to declare himself or to live his beliefs.” Spirituality is not only the important theme of today, more potent than politics in bringing lasting change in the world, it also provides a powerful, inspiring and fascinating path for us. As we awaken more fully to the divine spark within, we begin to glimpse our true strength and power; and feel the depths and heights of our love and compassion. For this spark within us is the same spark that we also share with the Sun, the stars and the galaxies. It is limitless in nature and fueled by the great preservative force of love. Within every life-stream, human or otherwise, is this same spark, urging for expression; dimly in some and with great strength in others. In the words of Spiritual teacher, Marianne Williamson, “You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world... We were born to manifest the glory of God that is within us.” It is when we do this that we shine among men; we become a light in the darkness of our world, so essential at this time. When we do this, we feel joy, we feel peace, we experience love beyond that which has satisfied us previously. We begin to understand our place in the world – and in the universe. We are poets – we are scientists – we are everything – because now our souls are beginning to sing their songs of limitless freedom and everlasting love.

New Year, New Outlook

Potassium Broth

Healthy Foods that boost your Longevity and Vitality!

Celery, roughly chopped Potato peelings

The Holiday season came and went! Now our minds are focused upon the New Year’s resolutions we made to implement healthier habits. Part of the fear lingers, “Will I uphold my challenge?” The beauty is, the power is in our hands. This is the perfect time of year to make peace with our past, allow it to be what is was, and set new ambitions. The smallest things we do each day to encourage those healthful habits, contribute to the greater whole. We start out with one new goal and make it a habit, until we are ready to add in the next goal. Pretty soon, in a few weeks or months, we begin to see the change. This can be most challenging in the dead of winter. It is cold, snowy, and who really wants to go anywhere? That is why food is the perfect way to start. Studies have shown it is easier and more efficient to take weight off through our eating habits. Begin by eliminating the obvious i.e. sugary sodas, fast food, and then processed food and refined carbs. Set targets you know you can achieve. Then, honor yourself by following through on your commitment. This act is selflove. One of the simplest ways to start, is by making bone broth or a potassium broth (if you are vegetarian). Both boost the immune system, flush out toxins, promote weight loss, and aid our metabolism. Bone broth also protects our joints, helps heal leaky gut, maintains healthy skin and contributes gelatin and collagen to our diets. Both broths are incredibly inexpensive and neither requires a lot of work. Plus, they deliver that warming comfort which is perfect for this time of year! In the end, it is all about your health. Give yourself longevity and vitality this winter!.

Onions, roughly chopped Parsley Garlic Tomatoes (fresh and/or sun-dried) Dried mushrooms (porcini, shiitake or any edible variety) Kombu seaweed (or any variety you have on hand)

Bone Broth Recipe 3 pounds chicken necks/back/feet/ wings

**Ideally, use organic products and always make sure to scrub and wash vegetables.

*The longer you let it go, the more nutrients it pulls out from the bones.

GIVE YOURSELF a HEALTHY FACELIFT for the NEW YEAR From “Forever Young” by Earlyne Chaney, Founder of Astara

Start off the new year by perking up your face and skin for a new look. This is the time of year when we look at new beginnings, cleaning up your home to clear out old stale energy and welcome in fresh new energy. One other way to get new energy is to give yourself a facelift. Here are some natural ways to do just that starting out with the “mighty apple”! An Apple Facelift New medical findings prove the effectiveness of apple acids on the skin. Apples contain natural chemicals called alpha hydroxy acids ---or AHA--- that removes wrinkles and the dead cells on the surface of the skin. Dermatologists are now developing a prescription cream containing AHA, but you can make your own at home! Make a thick apple sauce with peeled apples and milk. Cook until soft, then thoroughly blend the formula. Apply to your face and throat. Leave it on for from 15 to 30 minutes unless the acids are too strong for your skin. Apply once a week or as often as your skin will tolerate it. The AHA plus the malic acid in the apple accomplishes a slow, natural chemical peel. But do test the treatment for allergic reactions before applying to your entire face -- a patch test on the inner arm, near the elbow. Such a slow peel may require the better part of a year. Just as this manuscript was going to press, I discovered a new product called New Feeling which can be purchased at health stores. It’s based on AHA and is supposed to be marvelous. There are other products on the market now that also incorporate AHA in their formulas.

first for its potency. If lemon is too strong, add more water. The lemon contains salicylic acid as well as citric acid. It will also peel the face. The acids in oranges, grapefruit, pineapple, papaya, lemons, apples, grapes, and cucumbers are excellent to create wrinkle-free skin, causing the top layer of dead cells to slough off and leave the face fresh and youthful. The malic acid in apples is what accomplishes the peel. Tartaric acid in grapes and citric acid in citrus and other fruits are the cause of the peeling. Mix any of these juices with water, sour milk, buttermilk or sour cream before applying. Sour milk is excellent because of its lactic acid. Use cautiously until you discover how sensitive your skin might be to these powerful natural beautifiers. Add any of the juices of these fruits or milk to your bath water to freshen and purify the skin of your body --- one fourth of a cup to an entire tub. To simply rinse your face, add a tablespoon of these fruit juices to a basin of lukewarm water. Be sure your eyes are closed. And follow immediately with a clear water rinse. Enjoy all the Blessings of this beautiful New Year! Samantha Pennala, President: Astara

Mystery School for the New Age Since 1951 Dedicated to elevating the spiritual consciousness and health of humankind

Here are some other suggestions to naturally beautify your face and skin. 1. Slice a cucumber into your blender. Mix it at high speed until it liquifies. Strain it and apply the liquid. 2. Tartaric acid, found in wine, also acts as a face peel. To correct oily skin problems try white wine applied with a pure cotton pat, for light-skinned people. Red wine for brunettes and olive-skinned people. It should be repeated about once every two weeks. 3. Half and half lemon juice and water is excellent, but try it JANUARY 2018

OBESITY and CRAVINGS

Keeping the Dream Alive

By Sherry Yale, D.C.

Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness; only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate; only love can do that.” “Faith is taking the first step even when you don’t see the whole staircase.” “I have decided to stick with love. Hate is too great a burden to bear.” “Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, ‘What are you doing for others?’” “The quality, not the longevity, of one’s life is what is important.” “Peace is not merely a distant goal that we seek, but a means by which we arrive at that goal.” “We must develop and maintain the capacity to forgive. He who is devoid of the power to forgive is devoid of the power to love.”

One of the biggest reasons for obesity is nutritional deficiencies. That’s right. We put on weight from eating more than our body requires; however, that comes about because of cravings due to deficiencies. Our bodies are made to stay in balance, but if we are lacking vital nutrients to maintain our health, our body will set off mechanisms to eat, despite the weight gain. One of the best things you can do for yourself when it comes to cravings is to eat very nutrient-dense foods and take abundant high-quality whole food supplements. It isn’t just the volume of food that fills us up, it is the nutritional content. It is well-known that pregnant women get food cravings. With what I just told you, can you guess why? Because the nutritional demands are greater with a growing child inside of mom. Prenatal vitamins help, but still might not fulfill all the nutritional demands of mom and baby for several reasons: 1) These vary in quality, 2) They commonly have synthetic vitamins that sometimes the body doesn’t even recognize as food, 3) They often contain nutrient isolates, which is a fraction of a natural nutrient. One common example is ascorbic acid, which isn’t Vitamin C; it is only a small component of the C complex. The body needs the entire complex of a nutrient to be most beneficial. And, as if this weren’t enough, there are even additional reasons that we don’t have room to go into here. Generally, sugar cravings are very common. One of the main reasons for this is a deficiency in protein and/or minerals. So, the next time you crave sugar, have some minerals and protein...what do you have to lose? Oh, that’s right....weight! If you have yeast or fungal overgrowth, you will tend to crave sugar as well. And, if your blood glucose levels go low (hypoglycemia), you may also crave sugar, but eating sugar is the worst thing for that due to the rebound effect (sugar stresses the pancreas and will tend to make your blood sugar go low again).

“The quality, not the longevity, of one’s life is what is important." Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. 26

There is much more to know about obesity and losing weight, and the new year is a great time to start the process. I invite you to participate in my new, weekly TIME TO TRANSFORM weight-loss support group every Monday night at 7 pm starting January 8, 2018. It is free to anyone, but please RSVP. You don’t need to be a patient. The emphasis will be on support and learning, not deprivation. Each weekly meeting will be informative and oriented to your personal goals. The meetings will be geared to the participants’ interests and needs. Come join me and we will transform together into our ideal selves!

What’s Your Foundation?

TLC Holistic Wellness

TLC

By Miche Lame’

As the new year starts off, now is a good time to look at the qualities you want to build your foundation on in the new year. It is always a good idea to look within and check at least monthly, if not weekly, as to how you are doing incorporating your goals and intentions into the way in which you live your life. Your personal values, goals and intentions are the foundation of your life, so you might as well be proactive about it. The foundation is what your house is built upon, and when it is not the right consistency, it crumbles and the house starts to shift and break down. Just as if a fault line opened beneath your home. So, what you put into your personal foundation will determine how the rest of your home, or in this case, life, holds up. Mindfully choosing the values you want to incorporate and build stronger into your life can help strengthen or undermine your goals. Intentions can do the same. Being proactive can also be part of the foundation because without action, there is stagnation…lack of growth, a kind of death. Creating and choosing what to put into your foundation is like determining your vision, your purpose in life, and can give you a blueprint as to how to build your life to get your goals met. You can’t build a house on a shaky foundation, or it will topple. You can’t build the house without a blueprint or vision of what you want. You can choose values such as ethics, truth, responsibility, love, transparency, acceptance and openness to name a few. You can also determine your purposes for this year, the focus, what you are about. Write them down and hang them up so that you can refer back to them whenever you have the opportunity… and possibly create a new habit of mindfully referring to them on a regular basis… like every Sunday night or the last Friday of the month. Look at what worked, what you want to do differently and even if you want to amend it. And, watch your dreams come true when you work from a firm, mindful foundation.

“2018” How to Have the Best Year of Your Life

this class had transformed my feelings about my own body. Now I feel like it’s okay to be a sexual woman and be proud that I hold the seed of creation in my womb. I am affirming my power and my brilliance as a divine feminine and am letting go of old thoughts and beliefs that are not aligned with this truth. I recommend this group to any women who feel they need to connect with themselves again and learn to be in your

By Barbra White

Let your innate beautiful self shine today. Today great possibilities are waiting for you. There IS great good waiting for you today. Brilliance, beauty and prosperity are knocking, waiting for you to let them in. Let go of “worst case scenario thinking” or regrets. The ego thinks this way of thinking protects you. When you see yourself in this ‘stinking thinking’ just say to it, “I love you. Thank you for your help. But the Infinite Presence and I have got it from here!” Step into greater good today. Unfolding Good, Expanding Awareness, Adoring Beloved, and Infinite Presence...are just a few of my favorite words for God. Just like every cell in your body has a complete DNA representation of you, you are a complete representation of the Infinite Presence. It only requires your permission to let it OUT. You have free will choice to open to the Unfolding Good. Be patient with yourself. We have all practiced living in ‘worst case scenario’ thinking for so long, that it becomes an addiction. Opening to the Goodness that is waiting, its a moment by moment practice. Be gentle with yourself. You are worth the effort. Each moment you have an opportunity to begin anew. Today is the day, sweet one. So “how” do you have the best year of your life? Many teachers will instruct you to set your intent for 2018. This is an important first step! However, once you do, let go of the “how”. As you follow the whispers of your heart, your intent will naturally unfold. Be clear on your desires...but then detach from the outcome. Strongly set a goal or intention...but then surrender. Allow grace to guide you as you listen to what feels right in the moment. Intentional Surrender (or I.S.) will allow you to enjoy the now, rest in the IS-ness of Love and be open to the good to come. I am so excited for 2018! The most powerful work I’ve given in my 17 years of service, is coming through me! So excited to offer it to you! *January 11, 6-9pm, Step into your Brilliance. Set the inner stage for the best year of your life. *Jan 18, Aphrodite Rising! 6-9pm, 8 weeks. Accept your body, and learn to harness your sexual life force energy to manifest prosperity, joy and peace. I am in tears witnessing the life changes that happened in the Aphrodite Rising group. Here is one of the many testimonials: “In only two sessions,

own power.” -L. L.

It is time for all of us to let go of the past and take the daily steps toward living a life that manifests our highest joy and serves the planet. It is possible. It takes great courage to open, grow and love. Don’t let negativity and hate be your default beliefs. You are on this planet to be a co-creator with the Adoring Beloved. Choose each day to be a co-creator instead of a consumer. You are the way the stars look back at themselves and are literally made of stardust. You are magnificent. There are steps, tools and processes that can empower you to heal, grow and give your gifts in only the way you can. Many of us were NOT given the tools of self acceptance, creative expression, limiting belief releasing, and meditation as a child. It is my honor and privilege to support people with the mentorship and tools they need to shine. But, whether you reach out to me or not, please continue to have the courage to learn and grow. Stay off of “automatic pilot”. The world truly needs your unique soul expression. It is not about perfection but progress. Life/God IS seeking to love YOU. Happiness is a skill to learn and practice. Recapping: 1) State your desire and set your intent. Detach from how/ when/where. 2) Take daily intuitive baby steps guided by your heart. 3) Study, ask for help, and develop yourself. Be miracle ready. Open to possibility today. You can do it! With all my love, Barbra White Barbra has masters in transpersonal psychology, and published author. Her passion is to facilitate women into sexual vibrancy and real confidence. Barbra also loves guiding people into their life’s purpose and deeper connection with the Divine.734-455-1438 | www.AcceptedAsIam.com & www.BarbraWhite. com

Using Crystals to Manifest in 2018

ROSE QUARTZ: Rose quartz is good when used to attract or enhance love of any kind in our lives and hearts. Fluorite can be used to manifest more healing energies in our lives.

By Jennifer VanderWal

We are now in 2018, numerologically a ‘two’ year. This year we’ll be working with cooperation, and working with others to make things happen. We’ve all heard about setting New Years resolutions, but often when we set resolutions we end up not following through. When we set goals, it often has the intention and energy of something that still needs to be accomplished, making the goal harder to obtain. When we use the tools from the law of attraction, we see ourselves more in the place we want to be, as if we have already accomplished it... as if we’ve already lost the weight, made changes in our diet or whatever our goal is. Crystals are excellent when used for manifesting, because they amplify and transmit energy, including thoughts and intentions. They can be programmed with our intentions. QUARTZ CRYSTAL: Quartz crystal is great for manifesting because of its natural ability to transmit and amplify all energies. It helps us focus and brings clarity to all situations.

To program a crystal you only need one. First, make sure the crystal wants to be used for this intention. Ask the crystal, while holding it up to your heart; it’ll let you know if it wants to or not. You may get a feeling or see or hear something. Hold the crystal on your third eye chakra, while visualizing your new desired goal being accomplished. See and feel your new self after your goal has been achieved. How does this new self feel? Walk? Talk and interact with others? What do you do differently each day now that your goal has been reached? Continue holding the visualization of your accomplished goal for fifteen minutes; the crystal is now programmed with your intention and will amplify this out into the universe, bringing you everything you need to accomplish it. Have fun! Jennifer Vanderwal has been a Melody Crystal Healing Instructor & Facilitator since 2004. She is a master of the Usui Tibetan Karuna Seiryoko system of Reiki. She offers readings, spiritual counseling, teaches crystal healing classes and offers a variety of crystal healing techniques at Bodyworks Healing Center & Journey to Health Chakra.

There is a formation of quartz called, manifestation quartz. These crystals have one or multiples of crystals completely enclosed inside the larger crystal, and are known for their powerful manifestation abilities. CITRINE: Another quartz known for its manifesting qualities is citrine. Citrine also transmutes all energies into golden light. GARNET: Garnet is beneficial for manifesting prosperity because it helps us remember that we are all deserving of the infinite universal prosperity and abundance available to us. MAGNETITE: Magnetite, or lode stone, is one of the best stones for manifesting or attracting of any kind; it is naturally magnetic. Magnetite is also a powerful stone for healing.

13 Benefits of Celebrations 1.) Changes focus from dwelling on "problems" to finding and/or creating new possibilities. 2.) Activates right brain and creates new neural pathways to move out of old, dysfunctional conditioning. Repetition used in rituals strengthens pathways. 3.) Connects participants to community so that there is a sense of something larger to help with feelings of isolation and helplessness. Increases feelings of safety. 4.) Provides opportunity to gather your tribe (in person or virtual) for support as well as witnessing and honoring significant milestones with ritual. 5.) Strengthens family bonds with shared, fun, joyful, creative project while bringing much needed levity to lighten up stressful aspects of transitions. 6.) Awakens play for overly serious adults and allows children to share their gifts in this vitally important realm. 7.) Helps relax constrictions, tension and stuckness to allow for greater ease, flow and expansiveness. 8.) Encourages SLOWING down and taking a rest from our overly fast paced lifestyles. Rejuvenates and replenishes reserves of joyful energy. 9.) Exercises and expands creativity (preparing food, music, decorations, games, special clothing, cards, gifts, designing a unique ritual or tradition). 10.) Shows how to reverence as well as let go of the old, prepare for and magnetize the new while enjoying and deepening into the present moment. 11.) Honors chaos and mystery, providing a greater acceptance of the natural cycles of change. Also enlivens curiosity and supports willingness to surrender vs wasting energy trying to "figure out" and control. 12.) Discovery of gifts as part of celebration shifts resentment into gratitude as well as empowering the participants. 13.) Fun and games are effective as well as enjoyable ways of navigating change than hard work and effort! SOURCE: /www.sparksandleaps.com/

Manifesting Your Future

deeper levels of the mind. I find that it is not healthy to have your third eye open all the time; you can absorb negative energy, start to feel stressed, or have high anxiety when around groups of people.

By Wendy Powers Nugent

As a psychic, I look into the future as well as the past and present; however, did you know you can have control over your future outcome? We do have freedom of choice barring our karma in this life (lessons you need to work through). Sometimes we can work through karma very quickly, but if we are not a quick study and find ourselves rehashing the past or hitting a brick wall every time we try to move forward... well you may want to redirect your fate and move it forward by manifesting a better future. Yes, you can do that! I find many of my clients cannot seem to let go of the past or release their hearts from a past love, or even allow a new love to come into their life. But what you may not realize, is that itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s all in your power to program for a better future life path. Sometimes when I just cannot get a client to let go of negative issues or past relationships, they find themselves going up against the same issues over and over again. This is when it is time to redirect them to a hypnotherapist, or offer lessons on how to manifest a better outcome through meditation. Law of

attraction is real; what you think- is what manifests in your future. I find that meditation works very powerfully in manifesting and attracting our desired outcomes. When people think of meditation, usually they think of yoga positions and allowing oneself to float on the edges of Alpha thought. However, that is just getting you focused for the real ride into your higher thoughts of manifesting. I am sure you have heard of the saying, You are what you think. If you think you cannot cross the finish line, you most likely will not, or will have a very difficult time getting to your goals. But in seeing yourself crossing the finish line, you will easily reach your goals! Often you hear athletes say that their winning performance was already worked out within their mind before the game even starts. They see their success first in their mind and then it becomes their reality. You can do the same with your own life path. Join my new 2018 meditation workshop series Manifesting. This Workshop will be starting in February, 2018, to help those that want to learn what I call active meditation. You will learn how to break ties with regret and past karma, to create a better future. Look on my website for details.

Some of you have your third eye or intuition door open all the time and do not realize it. You find yourself tired, anxious and sometimes paranoid, as you may have spirits walking into your open psychic door. I find that many people who are naturally psychic find that they have a very difficult time going into a mall or attending larger gatherings. This happened to me until I built in a trigger to open and close my intuitive mind. You can control your future outcomes by redirecting your mind talk differently, and even work through your negative Karma quicker while programming yourself for winning results. If you are already a student of meditation and can work with your own higher energy, remember, you are what you think. Think positive thoughts not just wanting thoughts, so you can reach your expectations and have a more desirable future.

WendyPowers-Clairvoyant.com or call 248826-8255

Active meditation is like dream boarding, but within the mind of your higher consciousness. Many of you already have a sense of your own intuition, but are not sure how to tap into it with ease. Or, you might not trust that you are in the

Society accepts January 1st as a time for new beginnings, it has been that way for centuries. People make resolutions designed to alter different areas of their life, many use that time to stop bad habits. Why all this focus on change? Perhaps it is because people are not satisfied with their life’s position or direction, so they vow to make a change. Why wait for January 1? When I was in pastoral college, I learned a new and exciting phrase, “Up until now.” This phrase means you no longer have to wait till January 1st - that literally every second of your life can be a moment of change. For example, you may be like many other people who spend their entire paycheck the moment they receive it. Now you can say, “Up until now” I didn’t set any money aside for savings. Starting with my next pay period, I’m going to put 10% of my check in a bank account for future needs. Or “Up until now” I used to smoke 2 packs of cigarettes a day, starting now and effective every week, I will reduce my cigarette usage by 50% until I no longer smoke at all. Or lastly, “Up until now” I haven’t spent much time with my family, starting today I’m going to set aside prime time to spend with them on a regular basis. These are just examples of challenges that people face when trying to redefine their lives. Our spirit guides will work with us, encouraging us to make the right change and offer us the support to see it through. “Up until now” can be a catch phrase in your life. For example, “Up until now” I used to wait till January 1st to make changes in my life. Starting today, I will make changes in my life when I sense they are needed. For most people, change is a difficult function. Yet it is 40

I continue to do psychic readings remotely by phone or Skype and a Spirit Medium, I work with peoples energy, so distance is not a factor. Even though I am no longer hosting a weekly public seances, I still contact spirit loved ones from my new location. So my move still allows me to help clients and be a place that is perfect for my family.. and “Up Until Now’ moment that left me say, “Why didn’t I do this sooner?!”

through change that we find release and redefine who and what we are. Success comes from having the courage to do things that you don’t have the courage to do. Change requires courage. Many changes seem insurmountable, but once you start things in motion, destiny will step in and guide you to the safest and most expedient path to complete your change. Most people, after they have completed a change, look back on the effort and say, “That wasn’t so hard, why did I wait so long to do this?”

So now repeat after me, I will no longer wait till January to make changes in my life. Starting now, I will make changes in my life when I deem they are necessary, regardless of the date. Happy New Year!

Don’t be one of the millions of individuals that wait so long to make the change your heart desires. Fear can cause people to hesitate, when it is actually overcoming the fear that will set them free. Make a decision for yourself out of LOVE instead of fear and you will be amazed at the outcome. Some people dream their whole lives of something, but wait to take action. Why wait to make improvements to your life? If your car or home needed the improvement, we would surely make it happen. Give your life the same courtesy.

Once my family made the decision, spirit stepped in and guided many of the changes that made the move seamless. As things fell into perfect place, I knew this change was destined to be. I am extremely happy with our move and can’t

Support Our Young People!

Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.

Do you remember when you were young and were unsure about the best way to study for a test, make plans for college, interview for a job, purchase a car, or even balance a checkbook? National Mentoring Month focuses awareness on the need for mentoring and how we as individuals, businesses, schools and faith-based communities can work together to help ensure positive outcomes, good decision making, and successful futures for our young people. Statistics show that among our young people, one in three will grow up without a mentor. This number clearly indicates the importance of mentorship on a national scale, as having a mentor undoubtedly has a positive impact on the family and life of the young person, as well as our communities as a whole.

"Life’s most persistent and urgent question is, What are you doing for others?"

Founded in 2002 by The National Mentoring Partnership (MENTOR) and the Harvard T.H. Chan School of Public Health, National Mentoring Month highlights numerous programs, activities, and opportunities to thank those who are already participating, as well as for those interested in becoming involved by sharing their skills, knowledge and guidance. Whether you’re comfortable participating by offering your time and/or a donation, MENTOR’S programs offer something for everyone! As many mentors have shared, the rewards they have gained by working with our young people have been substantial. Sharing their skills to help our young people learn and grow has been meaningful and enriching not only for their own life, but for the mentees as well! Jan. 4 – I Am a Mentor Day: A day for volunteer mentors to celebrate their role and reflect on the ways mentees have enhanced their world. Jan. 15 – Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Day of Service: A day to share in the inspirational words of MLK, Jr. and elevate the spirit of service through volunteerism. Jan. 17– International Mentoring Day: A day of international conversations on social media where photos, video and powerful mentoring stories messages are shared. Jan. 25 – #ThankYourMentor Day: A day for all who have real life mentoring experiences to thank those who helped them on their path to adulthood and beyond.

Spiritual Horoscope By Aluna Michaels, M.A.

Capricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) — Happy birthday Capricorn! The theme of your year is LOVE! Meditate on your heart, remembering a time you felt appreciated by another. Let that joy expand and radiate through your body, mind and soul. Let it melt away feelings of unworthiness as it opens you to receive more love, more connection, more finances. Create a list of goals with a spiritually-minded friend and inspire each other to focus on staying open. Also practice forgiveness of childhood and family “issues” so you can freely move onward and upward! Aquarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) — It’s an exciting career month! You can achieve a long-desired job or position. Spiritually, you can overcome a part of yourself that holds you back from love. Aquarians often feel on the outside, as if they were living behind an invisible wall, observing everyone else connecting and blossoming. Meditate on being included in life and bonded with joy. Allow vulnerability to surface, without seeing it as shameful or weak. Embracing your humanity shatters that self-constructed barrier once and for all! Pisces (Feb. 19 – March 20) — Uranus moves direct and brings money breakthroughs! Be mindful of how you can waste money unconsciously so you can

stop financial “leaks”. Meditate on prosperity for even more abundance. Also be aware of how your thoughts can literally make you sick or anxious. Lovingly protect yourself from your own negativity. As you focus on gratitude, there’s no room in your brain for random fear or worry. You’ll be physically healthier and emotionally happier! (And financially richer!)

strengthen immunity. You’ll sleep better, have less anxiety and think more clearly. You’ll even feel a deep connection with the Universe from this simple act. Try alternate nostril breathing, or even the yogic “Bee Breath” (block ear with fingers and hum as you exhale). Cancer (June 21 – July 22) — It’s a romantic start to the New Year! You can start a new relationship in a bold, brave way. Meditate on past hurts, betrayals or patterns of problems in previous partnerships. You can have major insights, be able to put experiences into perspective, and release pain. Now you can venture into the future with a fresh heart without baggage! Even if currently connected, the bond improves because you can see him/her now, instead of looking at him/ her through “glasses of the past”! You’ll even have financial improvements as you let go of old beliefs about money.

Aries (March 21 – April 19) — Uranus moves direct in your sign, bringing a great opportunity to re-invent yourself! Meditate on habits of thought that are a part of your identity, and become ready to release them. You are who you consistently believe you are! Relationship breakthroughs are possible, or you can begin an exciting new bond. Not that Aries has too many hang-ups with sexuality, but you can heal old “issues” in that department as well! Also, you can be recognized at work for a long or difficult project, and your job just seems to get easier.

Leo (July 23 – Aug. 22) — The total eclipse in your sign this month heals relationship problems, as well as issues around self-love. Meditate on forgiving childhood family drama. The more unconscious pain you expose and release, the freer you are to live and love from new chosen patterns, rather than just repeating habituated karmic cycles. Uranus moving direct inspires your spirituality in a new direction. You could start yoga, or feel more eager around your meditation practice. You could find a book or teacher that excites you about new possibilities for your life.

Taurus (April 20 – May 20) — Don’t pooh-pooh your intuition! What you think of as common sense or a casual idea is a profound message from your soul. Pay attention to inklings and hunches and see where they lead. You can meet a new partner if single, or feel a renaissance in a current relationship. You can have a deep healing about a family “issue” you thought was permanent. You might get a wonderful job offer that has a generous salary or get a bonus in your current position. Meditate on opening to the unknown and begin to feel comfortable out of your comfort zone. It’s easy for Taurus to stay in a rut, especially if it’s a fairly good rut! Challenge yourself to expand into a new level of awesomeness!

Virgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22) — The total eclipse this month helps uncover unconscious fears that hold you back from feeling fully alive! Meditate on the roots of these beliefs. They are not true, even if you’ve thought them thousands of times, they’re just thoughts! Right now you have extra energy to create positive beliefs that have momentum! Bravely think in these new ways until they become new habits and shape a new life for you! Uranus moves direct, awakening a level

Gemini (May 21 – June 20) — It may sound dumb, but breathing is so important for you! Gemini rules the lungs, and you know how nervous you can get and how much you over-think things. Daily deep breathing, even just for five minutes will soothe your nervous system and 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

of trust. You can heal issues of intimacy and sexuality. You can also break poverty thoughts, so doors to abundance fling open! Enjoy yourself and don’t pick on the present moment. Allow yourself to see it as perfect, just as it is. Libra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22) — As Uranus moves direct, you’ll have breakthroughs in relationships. You’ll have a totally new perceptive on a present partner. Old resentments can go in a “poof”! You’ll even wonder why you saw things as problems and come to a new level of appreciation and love. If single, you can attract someone who doesn’t reflect old patterns or childhood/family “issues”. Also, meditate on opening to new avenues of prosperity. You can even have a windfall or a financial gift! Scorpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) — Energetic Mars and abundant, lucky Jupiter are in your sign! You can make resolutions around exercise that actually stick. Also, meditating on forgiveness gives access to energy that’s been caught up in processing old anger. You can be amazingly creative, productive and positive. Relationships heal, and your self-esteem is at a twelve year high! Working with affirmations and gratitude brings amazing results. Look up the meditation style of “Open Focus” which fits your expansive Jupiter transit. Sagittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) — The total eclipse this month, as well as the conjoining of Mars and Jupiter, connect you with a deep spirituality. Meditate on your closeness with Life Force. Imagine the power and wisdom of each of your cells, and the intelligence that guides them. Feel gratitude and see the benevolence of the Universe in all areas of your life. You’ll have financial openings, and a jump-start in relationships, whether new or old. Keep a notebook or your phone by your bed to record dreams right when you wake up. There’s many messages you don’t want to let drift away as the day progresses!

How to Get What You Want By Faith Brower

So many people feel dissatisfied these days. We want changes in our lives, our children’s lives, and even in the world. We read “how to” books, complain to our friends about people or events, go on diets, start a new exercise program, and fantasize about outlandish ways to get what we want. When I was younger, my sister and I used to ask each other, “If you could change one thing on your body, what would it be?” I answered, “My thighs”. From then on, my thighs became something I was ashamed of and knew were not okay. How I dressed reflected that feeling of “not good enough”. I wanted to run to relieve stress during college. My solution: start running in colder weather, wearing pants. Then spring came, and the dilemma appeared. I wore pants, but the sweat and heat were causing health problems. I had to wear running shorts if I wanted to run. So, I changed my running routes to less congested areas. One day I picked up a book by Richard and Mary-Alice Jafolla. It said that every day I am called to new experiences of freedom. “This moment … is a brand-new moment in your life. You can choose to be more relaxed, more trusting, more forgiving, more loving. You can choose to be whatever you want. The question is: Are you treating this moment in a new way?” I realized I had been focusing on the outer, not the inner me. I wanted to feel more relaxed, trusting and loving, but that could only come from how I chose to “look at” things and people. I had been brave enough to wear shorts and feel the cool air on my legs. What a feeling of FREEDOM! I wanted to feel this more in my life. When I was running in my shorts, I was feeling connected to Spirit, to fellow runners I came across, and did not feel alone, different, or afraid. I felt capable, strong, and a sense of freedom in expressing my true self. What other new experiences of freedom could I have? I decided to focus on positive, supportive and constructive thoughts and feelings, not the ones that brought me down. I realized it was up to me to express my true self to experience a better life. I looked at more of my outgrown beliefs AND replaced them by taking actions that reflected the real me, that girl who LOVED to run in shorts.

It Looks Like We Made It

tomorrow, or at your next opportunity to dissolve yourself into yourself. This is just an additional winter challenge. It’s a great tool for simple drawings even though you may have thought that Paint was invented just for children. Oh, contrare! In fact, if you want to begin doing art as therapy with me online using this simple method, it is definitely within the realm of possibility.

By Toni Johnstone

Hopefully we all made it through to the other side of December 2017, to January 2018, or at least most of us did. This may not be everyone’s favorite month of the year, but it may prove to be a great month for some of us. It might be a stressful or disappointing month, as we at least try to live up to our resolutions or silent commitments we’ve made to ourselves in all the excitement of the preceding holiday season. In actuality, many of us do delay things until that magical first of the year holiday. How many times have we heard or said, “I’ll do this, or this will happen after the holidays are over!”? January was named after Janus, the Roman god of beginnings, gates, and doorways, and was usually pictured with two faces, one looking forward and one looking back. This may help explain why we are accustomed to doing that, especially in January. This concept of looking in two directions at the same time—it can sometimes feel as though we are actually doing that, and the energy and power sort of puts one into a fuzzy brain or a fugue state. A fresh new year is here now to greet each and every one of us—fuzzy brained or not. Some of us will, indeed, make the most of every day, and some may only be waiting for the next highly advertised holiday, the ever popular vista of joy and love of Valentine’s Day followed by Sweetest Day. Oh well, it’s sort of good to have these days to break up the strings of uncelebrated days, isn’t it? I recently read that the National Day Calendar proclaimed September as self care, self-improvement month. Perhaps January will be that month instead for some of us. Don’t feel too bad if you aren’t able to live up to any resolution or commitment you pledged after sipping some tasty libation on December 31st. More likely, you promised something to yourself even earlier. Each day really can be a new beginning, and sheets of paper bound together in a calendar only mark the official passage of time. If you find that you are having trouble getting your energy levels up or generating enthusiasm, I have an idea for you. Microsoft Paint is one of the best programs in which you can flex your artistic abilities without much mess or fuss. I challenge you to try it, or something similar. Today, tonight,

For the purpose of now, however, once at your computer, open up a fresh screen in Paint or a similar program, and draw a picture of who you were in December. Title it, then open a new screen and draw or paint a picture of who you are now, in January. Yes, it can really be that simple. All you need is a quiet space. Don’t linger too long on details. The process of using art as therapy is designed to be spontaneous and simple. If you had something particularly overwhelming happen to you, do a before and after painting/drawing of this event, or the feelings that it evokes. Yes, you have it—one or two of those feelings drawings. Customize this exercise to fit your special, unique self. Select a medium to a large size brush in the program. Be sure to utilize the color palette that is offered, to help express yourself. It will likely take you a few or perhaps more than a few practice strokes or lines before you are minimally comfortable with it. Familiarize yourself with the options you have on the program. When you are finished, title your drawing— in fact, how about creating titles for both pictures, then save them somewhere, just in case you want to send them to me and begin an exciting journey using art to gain insight or resolve issues. For best results, do not obsess over details or correctness of shapes and form, because the only rule is that there are no rules when you are doing this. In fact, you can use simple shapes, lines, and colors to represent yourself and other things you are trying to express. Just relax. You may find this exercise to be way more insightful than you think! Wishes for a very happy New Year to you all!

DOES YOUR PAST HOLD YOU BACK? The majority who come to play in this third dimensional reality often allow their lineage to dictate the kind of LIFE they”re going to have. Every aspect of those who have come before them, unknowingly seem to hand down both, desirable and undesirable characteristics. And more often than not the undesirable traits gather more of the momentum. When speaking in oral traditions one should consider favoring the stories that recharge the SOUL, and offers up clear reasoning to those willing to listen, as to why they need to carry on what those who came before them could not. Science has made man believe his destiny is prewritten in their genes. How sad and scary would this be if this were true? Think about it! What if someone came up to you and said “ do not get excited about living your dreams because your life is not your own”. We must, as a collective, begin to live out our aspirations and be the example of how we would like to see those who come AFTER us live their lives. ‘SURRENDER’ to the experience of living fully in grace, forgiveness, and unconditional LOVE, toward every scene in your movie called LIFE. Yes, it may be true that there have been certain challenges set-forth to overcome in the chosen timeline, but HOW you experience these lessons is what will determine how your tomorrow arrives. The BODY in its magnificence is but a filter that has the ability to interrupt free flowing information from both sides of the ether. This interruption is due to the discounted beliefs stored in the flesh by believing it to be their truth. Empty the mental storage unit that no longer serves the present moment. Remain MINDFUL in that all experiences are equally as important. Just on these merits alone a NEW island of plenty will begin to emerge whilst the old one will, submerge. Lineage can play a negative role ONLY if you allow it to. The objective is to replace the data that does NOT serve its host any longer and replace it with a gratifying script that represents their true essence. I believe we are meant to not just survive but to elevate our consciousness in a world created by the creative. Try listening more, along with serving whenever the opportunity is granted. Always go with the feeling that compliments the HEART & SOUL. This ‘attitude of gratitude’ IS worthy of passing down, generation to generation. The PAST should always be inspirational, manageable, profitable, and most of all, DOABLE! Always my Best! William Helton

The Universe’s Natural Rhythm By Gwendolyn Esco Davis

As I look out my window to my backyard, watching the snow fall on the bare branches on the trees, hedges and my hydrangea bush, I see the beauty of the season. We, living in the Midwest, are blessed to experience four seasons – the universe’s natural rhythm at play. The hydrangea bush is beautifully shaped and forms are covered with fresh falling snow. The hydrangea is also so beautiful in the summer when it fully blooms large colorful flowers, and even after the blooms the bush prepares for each season; its rhythm of life in accordance with the universe. In the fall, I watch the squirrels prepare for winter by gathering nuts and berries to store for the coming winter months. The birds, rabbits, honey bees and all the other animals and nature… I can witness in my yard the rhythm of nature. We humans are no different. We too follow the natural rhythm of life, although at different times in life. Our four seasons could be titled: spring, summer, fall and winter. I met a lady the other day at the gym. Her hair was totally gray – beautiful gray hair. We talked for a while and I commented on how beautiful her gray hair was. I also shared that I could not wait for my hair to become totally gray. I learned that we are the same age. I must wait until my natural rhythm reaches that time – or it may not be for me. Understanding that some of our natural rhythms move slower and some move faster – although the rhythms are the same. As Lao-tzu has written, “Life is a series of natural and spontaneous changes. Don’t resist them – that only creates sorrow. Let reality be reality. Let things flow naturally forward in whatever way they like.” My understanding of this statement is that we suffer when we judge that the quality of our life is defined by a long growing season. Let us not mistake quantity with quality. As I learned by watching natural activity of the animals and nature in my yard and the glassing of the snow on my hydrangea bush, our lesson here is to let go and Let God…. and to trust the process. Know that you and every person you have ever had in your life moves to that divine ebb and flow. Feel the rhythm of your reality and let it have its way.
