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)!

Do You Want Real Change?

which blocks our inner wisdom. We have been taught to not trust our own heart.

By Barbra White

You get out of life what you put in...

You only have today. Make the most out of it...

You’ve got to put something into life before you can expect anything out of it...

It is better to give than receive...

Heard enough? How many times have you heard similar variations of the catchphrases above? Do these statements inspire you to change your life? Or, do they trigger feelings of not being enough, and self-attacking thoughts such as, “Yup... if I just gave more, exercised more, meditated more, watched less TV, etc... my life would be better.” Albeit, making these life changes would create a better life. But what if more action, giving, doing is not the full answer?

There is nothing wrong with you.

What if more willpower is not what you are lacking? What if the reason you are not feeling your highest joy is that you don’t have the proper support or tools?

It is not your fault that you are not living your highest joy. It takes tools of self-acceptance, the support of other humans, radical courage, deep self-awareness, body connection and developed vision to follow one’s heart.

Real change is within and is incremental.

It cannot be done in a day, or in one big sweeping action. Manifesting your highest joy and heart’s dreams requires moment-to-moment compassionate selflistening. However, this inner listening is easier said than done.

If there are unresolved emotions or traumas, then a person cannot hear their inner guidance. Unresolved emotions or traumas can show up as limiting beliefs about what we ‘should’ be doing, roles we must play, and mind chatter AUGUST 2018

The inability to follow your highest joy in life is NOT because you lack anything inside... it is because you need the help of a person and community to keep you accountable, the development of new skills, and a mentor to temporarily hold your hand.

Ever hear of the rat study? It’s been repeated by many behavioral scientists with the same results. They put a rat alone in a cage, with drug-filled water.

The rat becomes addicted to the drug and dies. But, if the addicted rat is moved to a space with a community of rats, (with an option of still drinking the drug-filled water), it will no longer drink the drugfilled water, but instead will thrive. Why? Behavior psychologists and scientists alike have found addictions stem from a lack of support and human connection.

It is NOT weak to ask for help and get the resources you need! A CEO knows she/he cannot run the entire business alone. Why do we think we have to solve our life’s issues alone? Isolation guarantees failure. Yes, you are the only one who can make the choice to heal and grow. But, the more you allow yourself to go towards what you need, is practicing wisdom. Yet how can you know what you need, or allow your needs to be met if you are still judging yourself as weak for needing help?

In general, as a culture, we are not taught the tools to live our highest joy-self-acceptance, co-creative choice, cultivated conviction, and embodiment.

Our parents didn’t have the skills to pass on, because it wasn’t taught to them.

Many of us are very accomplished at ‘doing’... but not very skillful at following our highest joy.

We take a drug, change jobs, leave a relationship, but then we feel the same or worse, find we are with the “same person” with a different name, or still hate our job. Then, we desperately go to a one-day workshop or sermon that

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

promises to change our life for good.

And if it doesn’t, we begin to think we have failed, or worse yet, that we are fundamentally broken. We begin to lose hope.

So where do you start? Get into a weekly mastermind, healing or meditation group, hire a holistic therapist, set up a lunch date with a friend, ask for help, and start daily meditation. These are powerful baby steps you can do right now to help change your life. If you would like to seriously commit on a level that will radically change you, I invite you to join my group in November. We meet at my Northville healing center every Wednesday from 5:30-10PM (except holidays) for one year.

In this program, you will get mentorship, personal accountability, and compassionate support. You will also receive healing and certifications in energy healing, trauma healing homeopathy, auricular acupuncture, and Self Acceptance Process. This powerful year will also include training in shadow healing, non-duality, heart-centered qi gong, and Earth-based spirituality.

Offering this program for 12 years now, I am so grateful for how many lives it has changed for the better. Here is what a few participants have said: “It’s a spiritual boot camp,” “I have the core foundations for life I always needed,” and “I am so grateful for the support and transformation I have received.”

Just as a cut on your arm knows how to heal without you telling it what to do, there is an order, harmony, or intelligence working in your life. If you are willing to grow and have the proper tools and support, great miracles and healing are possible. You are so very loved.

Barbra White is a compassionate gifted intuitive, and holistic therapist.

Mentoring, healing sessions and training are available. www.BarbraWhite.com 734796-6690

Finding Summer

their instruments while children run and tumble in the park.

By Walt Gajewski

High summer is here and that means the sawhorse tables at the Farmington Farmers Market will be bursting with the colors and flavors of local farms! Come to downtown Farmington on Saturdays in August to find the very best of farm fresh produce brought to market along with the full abundance of Michigan summer sunshine.

Here in Farmington, located in the heart of the downtown, at the corner of Grand River and Grove Street, you’ll find upwards of 15 growers coming to market weekly with fresh picked dewy wet farm produce. This time of year, our market chalkboard hails Michigan sweet corn and field tomatoes at the top of our farm finds! So many varieties of lettuce can be found here along with tender new sprouts (micro greens), green beans, new potatoes, zucchini, colorful peppers, flavorful onions and sweet summer squash including my favorite, “Patty Pans!”

The farmers market is an uplifting experience that attracts thousands weekly to “…Saturday life in a Michigan small town!” Enjoy a fresh “pour over” coffee or “cold brew”. Stop by our Patisserie, ponder fresh cut flowers while your senses pick up the delightful aroma of a fresh Petey’s donut made from scratch while you wait! From pantry fare to pottery or home accents and garden art, there is a reason why this market is metro Detroit’s #1 rated farmers market, and that is owed to the welcoming spirits and bright smiles that are in great abundance. Come to join the weekly bustle here and you will see vendors fussing over displays or chatting up with locals as musicians tune-up AUGUST 2018

Featured special upcoming events are another reason to make plans to visit downtown Farmington as we open August with our 3rd annual Polish Festival on Saturday, August 4. On this day, everybody polkas as we host the fabulous Kielbasa Kings, the Wawel Folk Dance Ensemble, fresh pierogies cooked to order, delicious grilled sausage and sauerkraut, and traditional Polish baked goods from Detroit’s Chene Modern Bakery. Savor it all with Piwo, a traditional Polish light beer crafted from smoked wheat by the Farmington Brewing Company.

Looking ahead, August 11th we celebrate National Farmers Market Week and on August 18th, why it’s the 12th Annual Farmers Market Elks Community Corn Roast! Our farmers donate fresh picked Michigan sweet corn while local Elks shuck, coal roast, season and serve, with all proceeds going to charity at only $1 an ear.

Summer is to August as fall is to October. May these words from one of my favorite poet songwriters, Graeme Edge, inspire you…”Be it sight, sound, scent or touch, there is something inside that we need so much…To fly to the sun without burning a wing, or lie in the meadow and hear the grass sing, we keep all of these things in our memories orb and we use them, to help us…to find...” Come to Market in downtown Farmington, Grand River, and Grove Street. Free parking! 9am-2pm www. farmingtonfarmersmarket.com Walt Gajewski, Market Manager

Death By Depletion

paid in tons and bushels, NOT in mineral content.

With each spoonful of today’s food, we are unknowingly slowly killing ourselves.

I am not talking about potential toxins, antibiotics or preservatives that they may or may not contain; I am talking about what our modern food does NOT contain. What do you ask? How can something that is not in our food be slowly killing us?

So how did the ancient societies deal with this problem? The Romans conquered Egypt for their wheat. They knew that Egyptian wheat enabled their army to march further and fight harder than wheat grown anywhere in the Mediterranean. What was the difference?

The Nile River flooded every spring and renewed the soils with silt (minerals eroded and carried from melting snow on mountains in Africa). Egyptian wheat was very mineral dense.

By David Mellor

You see, we are not the first society to unknowingly destroy its food supply.

The Roman Empire and other ancient societies around the world that declined had chemical-free tilled fields, so organic vs. inorganic or GMO was not the issue.

Soil depletion is the common issue time after time in these ancient societies.

How is soil depleted? The soil is like your checkbook. Unless you put enough in to cover the checks you are writing, eventually, your account will be overdrawn. The soil is constantly being depleted by a number of factors. 1) Water dissolves minerals in soils and gravity leaches (pulls) those minerals below the root zone making them unavailable to plants. 2) Wind and water erosion can blow or carry away soil minerals. 3) Crops grown will chemically “mine” whatever minerals are present in the soil.

After constant cropping, the trace minerals are gone. But we add fertilizer, don’t we? Conventional farming methods add three macro minerals (Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium) back into the soil and maybe a few trace minerals if the farmer can afford it. Another issue that has developed since 1994 is that we are on purpose, chemically chelating (making minerals unavailable by chemically surrounding them) certain minerals as a form of weed control. All these factors are contributing to the sad fact that we are producing food that has very little mineral density and we are producing “empty calories.” Farmers are AUGUST 2018

In a National Geographic article, archeologists have proven that some societies in equatorial regions with high soil mineral depletion like Central America, the Pacific, and Africa, resorted to cannibalism by conquering neighboring tribes. They would sacrifice them to their deities, then cook their flesh in every fashion as a food source. Then, they took the boiled and de-fleshed bones (used for bone broth) and stored them in huts and caves until planting season.

When planting season came around they would use the bones in ritual ceremonies to promote a good harvest.

Finally, they would grind up the sacred bones, use them in food as a culinary spice and use them as fertilizer for their crops. Thus enemy tribes competing for soil resources were consumed in every sense of the word to get their minerals.

This gives us a whole new perspective of Jack & The Beanstalk’s, “Fee-Fi-FoFum; I smell the blood of an Englishman.

Be he alive or be he dead, I’ll grind his bones to make my bread.”

In the American West, homesteaders would establish small farms and after several years their crops would become stunted, cattle would be stillborn and children would start to be born with physical or mental birth defects. They would simply pick up and move further west and repeat the cycle. The soils had been depleted. They pushed the

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

Native Americans off the virgin soils into reservations at gunpoint until we got to the Pacific.

Our federal government has officially known about “death by depletion” since 1936 as evidenced by Senate Document 264. In 1992 at the Earth Summit, it was reported that North American soils were 85% mineral depleted. It is too expensive to economically fix our soils on a huge scale because farmers are only paid on yield, NOT mineral content. Rather than fix the soils, farmers resorted to giving their animals vitamin and mineral supplements in their feed to deal with the problem. William A. Albrecht, a soils professor at the University of Missouri during the 1940s-1950s, experimented with putting trace minerals back into the soil and got dramatic results in improving quality of crops and the animals that ate them.

Dr. Joel Wallach DVM, ND, took Albrecht’s research to the next level by necropsying over 17,000 animals and autopsying over 4,000 humans for comparison which led to his discovery that all humans require 90 essential nutrients to achieve and maintain optimal health. Of the 90, two-thirds of the ninety are minerals. “Essential” means the body cannot manufacture them. They must be consumed every day to replace what is lost through sweat and bodily elimination.

He discovered animals and humans that died of the same diseases actually died of the same nutrient deficiencies.

Wallach also discovered in his research, that each of the 90 Essential Nutrients was linked to at least 10 diseases.

Thus, if you are depleted of 60 of the Essentials, you may be susceptible to 600 diseases.

In conclusion: 1) We are producing foods that are “empty calories” practically devoid of vitamins and minerals.

Because of modern transportation, food comes from all over the world and there is no guarantee of what soils they were grown in and what mineral density they have. 2) Not everyone has enough land P a g e 11

to produce their own food and put trace minerals into their garden. The solution to “death by depletion” is simple. We must follow the farmer’s lead they practice with their livestock by supplementing ourselves with the 90 Essential Nutrients to obtain what is NOT in our food. Thus the cry, 90 for Life!

In a future article, I will explain what are the 90 Essential Nutrients discovered by Dr. Joel Wallach DVM, ND (veterinary research pathologist and human naturopathic doctor), and how to obtain them economically.

By Jennifer VanderWal

Anxiety is caused by a variety of reasons. Unknowingly holding onto old stress or trauma in our energetic bodies can overload our nervous system, as well as financial stress, loss, and being empathic or sensitive to other people’s energies. If at times you don’t feel like socializing, listen to your intuition; it and our body naturally know what is needed to be in harmony.

Our auras, the energy fields that surround our body, extend at least 6-8 feet from our physical body. So, we are always in other people’s auras, picking up their feelings and thoughts, often unaware that we are doing it. If you have ever felt panicky when you’re around a lot of people, most likely you are feeling that way because you are picking up on so many different energies at once and it can cause you to feel overwhelmed, anxious or panicky.

The stone rhodonite helps with panicky feelings; the black mineral in rhodonite is manganese which is good for alleviating muscle cramps, headaches, depression and trauma. It helps to ground excess energies to the earth. Other stones that help alleviate anxiety are blue lace agate, lepidolite, sodalite, amethyst, and kunzite. Any crystals that are smokey or black like obsidian, hematite or tourmaline, are excellent for grounding anxiety and stress to the earth.

There are stones that you can carry on you to help strengthen and protect your aura so that you’re not picking up on so many outside influences, such as hematite, citrine, sodalite, and sunstone. Doctors mention how harmful stress is on our bodies but it’s not stressed enough; short and long-term anxiety can take a toll on us spiritually, physically, mentally and emotionally, causing our organs to not function properly. Holding onto emotions and stress can block a healthy energy flow to our vital organs.

“Beauty is when you can appreciate yourself. When you love yourself, that’s when you’re most beautiful.”

Zoe Kravitz

“Our task must be to free ourselves by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature and its beauty.”

Albert Einstein

Using Crystals to Alleviate Anxiety

Lapis lazuli is great to use for anxiety because of its calming, cooling energies and the pyrite inclusions clear old emotions and all blocks. One of the most valuable tools for anxiety is our breath. Stopping in the moment and taking three deep breaths recenters us, oxygenates our brain and helps us be in the now. Staying present in the now helps us manage anxiety, and we are less apt to worry or stress about the past or future.

Using crystals can also be a benefit because of their high mineral content which we could be lacking, as well as their working through piezoelectricity. Holding them will activate their properties, bringing you greater peace. For more information about anxiety, the silent plaque, join the workshop being held at “Inn at the Rustic Gate”, in Big Rapids, MI, September 21-23, 2018.

Jennifer Vanderwal has been a Melody Crystal Healing Instructor & Facilitator since 2004. A master of the Usui Tibetan Karuna Seiryoko system of Reiki, she offers readings, spiritual counseling, EFT, teaches crystal healing classes and offers various crystal healing techniques at Bodyworks Healing Center & Journey to Health Chakra. 248 672-0579

How Is Your Health?

by Phil Rosenbaum

Many people are dealing with all manner of health issues today. It may be something as simple as a common cold, or something much more serious, such as Diabetes or heart disease. You may be struggling with addictions such as smoking or drinking, or your weight may not be where you want it to be.

If you believe what many of the alternative health practitioners posit today, we are responsible for what happens in our lives. This also means that if we our sick, we are actually the ones who are causing our sickness. This is hard to accept for many people. However, if you agree that we are responsible for our lives, then you would have to agree that this would also include our physical health. Assuming that this is true, then our thoughts and beliefs have a significant effect on our own health.

If we can make ourselves sick, we can also make ourselves well.

Many people have heard of Dolores Cannon. She was a well-known author and hypnotherapist. Dolores spent close to 50 years perfecting her method of hypnosis. She called it Quantum Healing Hypnosis Technique or QHHT. This is a method which allows the client to reach what has been called the Higher Self, the Over-Soul, the Higher Consciousness, the Universal Mind, the Super Conscious or Oneness. Dolores called it the “Sub-Conscious,” but she did not mean it the way Freud and others meant it. She expressed that it is something with immense power and love. This force knows everything there is to know about the individual and his or her life. Dolores believed that this force is the greater part of ourselves and has unlimited knowledge and unlimited ability to heal the physical body and the underlying issues that may be affecting it.

In addition, because it knows everything about us, it can answer any question you may have about your life. Dolores reported that the Sub-Conscious can detect any physical

problem within the body and can explain the cause for its presence. In addition, if it is suitable for healing to occur, this force can heal instantaneously and with no medication, surgery or pain involved. The one caveat is that healing can only occur if an individual wants to be healed and if it does not interfere with the goals of the person’s life.

Dolores states there are no guarantees, but the following are some of the health issues the Sub-Conscious has helped people with.

AIDS has been cured and eradicated. It has reconstructed cartilage between joints. Heart conditions have been healed, resulting in no need for surgery. The Sub-Conscious has regenerated deteriorated livers. Damaged kidneys have once again become fulling functioning. The cause of migraines has been explained and then eliminated. Diabetes, intestinal problems, and lower and middle back problems have been healed. The Sub-Conscious has even restored people’s vision to 20/20. These are just some of the healings Dolores has reported. If the Sub-Conscious is going to heal the individual, it is done instantly and painlessly. Dolores states, “Nothing is beyond the realm of possibility. There are no limitations except the limits of your own imagination.”

When doing a QHHT session, individuals are asked to bring in a list of questions they want answering about themselves.

This can include such things as “what is their purpose?” or “should they seek employment elsewhere?” Some ask about problems in their relationship. Others want to know when they will meet the right person. Some ask if they should relocate.

Any question about their life can be asked, and if the answer will benefit them, it will be answered.

Changing Your HardWired Eating Habits

through dieting or fasting, they will improve their health. Sometimes it’s just the opposite. If you don’t want to harm your body, I recommend starting a good detoxification program. Such a program will support the body nutritionally and provide adequate amounts of healthy fiber for the safe removal of toxins.

By William H. Karl, D.C.

People have all kinds of excuses for overeating. Have you heard the one that blames it on our ancestors? This one isn’t so far-fetched when you stop to think about it. We have reason to believe that our ancestors gorged on food whenever it was available. And those with the most fat had the best chance for survival.

We’re just following our hard-wired primitive brain, right?

Knowing that our ancestors were the most successful group of hunter/ gatherers, let’s take a closer look at how they survived and what’s different today. When food was abundant, they ate more. When there was only a little, they ate less. They didn’t eat by the clock because among other reasons they had no clock. But they also didn’t have fast-food restaurants with neon signs tempting them 24-hours a day or food made with artificial tastes, colors, and excitotoxins that are formulated to increase our appetites and the number of our fat cells.

Although our ancestors gorged on food when available, food was often scarce, especially in places where the weather turned cold or dry in winter. They ate very little during these times. Nowadays, this is called either starving or fasting; and it’s typically self-imposed by people attempting to lose weight.

To survive in lean times, our ancestors burned stored fat for energy. Layers of fat that had accumulated by eating large quantities of fruits were reconverted by the body into what’s now referred to as ketones. Ketones are produced by the breakdown of fat in the liver during vigorous exercise, starvation, serious illness, and fasting. These conditions cause the body to metabolize longer chain fats into shorter chain ketones.

In The Blaylock Wellness Report, June 14

2018, Dr. Russell Blaylock says that regular exercise, intermittent fasting, and diets low in carbohydrates help produce optimal ketone levels.

Detoxification programs that are tailored to meet individual needs are usually most successful. In my office, we have many programs, including one that begins with homeopathic remedies that allow the body to set its own pace. Another great way to start your detoxification program is with a detoxifying footbath. For some additional incentive, use the coupon in our ad: “Buy One Detox Program & Get One Ionic Detoxifying Footbath Free.”

Certain habits regarding food choices stem from hard-wired responses that originate in the primitive part of our brain, but the habit of gorging on unhealthy food should not be condoned. The development of the prefrontal cortex of our brain that had increased in size during the evolution of our species helps us think, plan, reason and make purposeful decisions. We must start using that part of our brain if we are to survive in an increasingly challenging world.

My nutritional recommendations always include good fats and oils, the body’s favorite fuel source. It’s essential to avoid unnatural sugars, especially high fructose corn syrup, and trans fats which are fats that have been heated past their smoke point and/or turned rancid.

Even something as simple as fasting or dieting requires us to think, plan and understand what we are doing. Our ancestors burned fat for fuel during times of famine (when they were fasting) because they ate clean food, meaning food without toxins. If our body’s fat stores are filled with toxins from food, water, and the environment, it won’t use that stored fat for energy. Instead, it will burn muscle tissue for fuel.

Good saturated fats have little chance of going bad and don’t need to be refrigerated. A great saturated fat to incorporate into your daily diet is high quality, unprocessed coconut oil. If you want coconut oil without the coconut taste so that it’s more versatile, we found an organic, raw, fermented coconut oil that isn’t available in stores or online.

(Call 734-425-8220 for more information.)

Fasting can be dangerous because the body intentionally stores toxins in the fatty tissues of the body to protect us.

If large quantities of stored toxins are released all at once as during a fast, they may damage the heart, the brain and many other organs of the body, especially the filter organs which include the liver, kidneys, gallbladder, and thyroid. Even though it’s harder for us to lose excess fat, isn’t it amazing that the body figured out how to protect us by storing its toxins there?

Many people think that by losing weight

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

Coconut oil goes from the stomach directly to the liver where it’s converted into ketones. The ketones then travel from the liver to the bloodstream where they can be utilized by the organs and cells for energy. The great thing about this is that we aren’t dependent on insulin and glucose as our major energy source.

Scientists used to believe that the brain only used glucose for fuel. Research now shows that brain cells can use (and actually prefer to use) ketones for energy.

Ketones also stimulate cells to produce more and healthier mitochondria. For AUGUST 2018

these reasons, ketones can help improve memory and help people with diabetic-related and neurodegenerative diseases such as Alzheimer’s dementia, Parkinson’s disease, ALS, heart failure, age-related muscle loss, and even aging.

When the body is in ketosis (burning fat for energy), it doesn’t have the same insulin and blood sugar response that burning glucose has. This means that the body has a much more stable and sustainable energy source. This is important for everyone who wants more energy, less inflammation, greater hormone balance, improved brain health, less free radical production, and healthier aging. Does that include you?

Clairalience or Clairessence, Gift of Smell

information they are receiving. This is done by developing the area through trial and error and building their own code of psychic symbols, for each meaning and sight, sensation and/or sound.

Psychics have known from experience that odors or smells can reflect the state of someone’s health or aspects of their mood or personality.

By Nancy Lynn

How do we receive psychic messages from the spirit world? They are transmitted to us through the Clairs, such as Clairvoyance (clear vision), Claircognizance (clear knowing), Clairaudience (clear hearing), Clairscent (clear smell), and Clairgustance (clear taste). We can also sense things through Clairtangency (clear touch) usually known as Psychometry or Clairempathy (clear emotion) known as having empathy for someone or something, and Clairsentience (clear feeling) having a gut feeling.

Rather than giving you a short writeup on all the Claires in one article, I will address one Clair each month providing you with a broader explanation of each gift.

Let’s begin with the one I am sure most of you have experienced, Clairscent (clear smell). There are other terms which have been used in this sense, such as Clairosmesis, Clairalience, and Clairessence; these all are the same psychic ability. We can receive smells in a variety of ways. Let me first explain that when experiencing this sense you receive a slight smell that has NO bearing on where you are or what you are doing. It is usually short in length though defined and recognizable, such as the smell of pipe tobacco, pizza, leather, roses, perfume, etc. It has been found that 90% of all psychic mediums with this talent rely on their ability to ‘smell spirit’ in order to validate loved ones who have crossed over or to identify the presence of spiritual entities.

There are people that work with a Clairol factory psychic ability. This form of Clairscent abilities enables the person to ’smell energy’. The universe is

16

composed of energy having a vibrational movement that will and can stimulate the odor-detecting receptors. With that being said, it allows a psychically gifted person in this area to smell a range of different areas such as sickness, spirits, unhappiness and more.

Interestingly science has supported evidence in recent studies that animals have a keen sense of smell and they have the possibility to use odor imprints to detect and analyze illness or to identify a person, similar to fingerprinting. The research found that dogs are able to correctly detect lung cancer 99% in sample patients and only had a 1% error in the healthy control set. Further research is ongoing. Dogs possess up to 300 million olfactory receptors in their noses, where a human has about six million. A dog’s brain analyzes scents 40 times greater than ours. So it can be stated that dogs also can sense the smell of their loved one who has passed over.

The sense of smell is very unique in its ability to immediately evoke strong emotions within us, or trigger intense memories. It brings us back to a special place, memory or meaningful moment in the past like no other sense can. It also invokes the presence of a special person, time or place in our lives. It should be no surprise that a lot of mediums use this sense to define the presence of a loved one in a reading to validate or clarify a message that comes through. This profound Clair is often used by holistic healers to provide the medicine needed in a situation.

So the next time a slight smell you associate with a loved one passes by your olfactory receptors (your nose), think of them and know they are watching over you and are there in spirit.

Why do spirits communicate with us through smell? The sense of smell is a powerful and defined way of recognizing a person or experience. It is one of our most powerful senses and an easy way for the spirit to acknowledge to us that they are near. We have heard sayings such as, “The sweet smell of victory” or “she came out of it smelling like roses” or “it smells to high heaven” or “stop and smell the roses” when we are receiving intuitions or gut feelings. Some gifted psychics can smell illness or dietary shortage. This specialize

Evolution of Clarity

By Gwendolyn Esco Davis

* 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?

People are always blaming their circumstances for what they are. I don’t believe in circumstances. The people who get on in this world are the people who get up and look for the circumstances they want, and, if they can’t find them, make them. George Bernard Shaw

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

What is the difference between an excuse and a circumstance? An excuse is why we did or didn’t do something; an entirely plausible reason, a defense, a rationalization we can live with to explain away action or inaction. Circumstance is a state that we are in, the details surrounding a situation, or a condition that causes something to occur.

Is there a difference between excuses that stand in our way of living authentically, or is it circumstances that seem to limit our choices, reduce our options, and hamper our ability to be happy? Are you the person with excuses or the one in the mist of circumstances?

Example: There is someone who has crossed a boundary, and you would like to bring up the topic. However, you are not quite sure how to do it without making the situation worse. So, you procrastinate by avoiding the conversation. Maybe it is asking for a raise, or having a conversation with a loved one that could change the relationship. Asking for what we want is a powerful skill, but if we do not practice it, we will find ourselves regularly frustrated with people or the circumstances or excuses of our life.

Having the ability to know the difference between excuses and circumstances, takes on the embodiment of insight. We all have moments of in-depth understanding, moments when we accessed a deep well of insight and suddenly understood something that formerly caused us great confusion and conflict. Insights or awareness are the results of inner growth.

Growth is a necessary occurrence in life and how we respond to it determines the path in which we will stand. Going from one mindset to another and then another is a natural progression -- it is our evolution of personal-clarity. There are so many of us (no matter our circumstances or excuses) who have a belief of unworthiness; I am not tall enough, not before I lose more weight, on and on.

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

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

Unworthiness, my friend, is counterintuitive to the human psyche; the natural progression of self-awareness changes as we embody deeper insight into self. As this occurs, we began to awaken to our most profound truth.

Once we embrace our circumstances and learn the value of them, then we can be strengthened and build upon it. Once we understand why we have excuses, the growth of more profound insight into awareness prevails.

Receive Wisdom and Guidance from Higher Spiritual Beings

By Wendy Powers Nugent

When preparing for a reading I always ask the angels, God, and the highest spiritual beings to come forth and bring me information for the person I am about to connect with. The highest spiritual beings are not necessarily angels, they are instead souls that were created of human spirit and evolved into a high spiritual being.

Many of you have heard the term, old soul ... this is a metaphysical term for someone who has reincarnated through many lifetimes. However, just because one has incarnated many times does not mean they have learned their lessons of life. It is true that you do not need to reincarnate hundreds of lifetimes to achieve spiritual awareness; just like in school, if you are a quick study you can advance rapidly through the grades to an early graduation.

Unfortunately, many souls repeat the same lessons over and over again but do not feel that you cannot get back on track.

Learning meditation and developing your intuition will open your communication with God, your angels and the highest spiritual beings who want to help tutor and guide you through your life lessons.

The reason I like to tap into a higher soul’s wisdom when I do a reading is that they have graduated the lower lessons of life, and will give me a clear message as to how to help my clients ease their life lessons. This is similar to a tutor who was at the top of their class, helping give advice through the tough lessons.

Ask the angels -- they are your direct connection to God. Your angels will bring you divine love, and clarity to God’s messages.

Always ask for your angels to surround you and protect you.

Did you know that the last lesson of the soul is to learn how to love yourself? This does not refer to ego or vanity, but to truly treat your life as if you were guiding your best friend or a loved one through their life. Many of us give much better advice and support to our loved ones than we do for ourselves.

Sometimes, people misunderstand the idea of angels and their role in helping us through our time on earth. First, when your loved one passes on, they may become your spirit guide or oversee your life with guidance; but that is not the same as “they are now your angel.” You, of course, may see them as your angel, but for the purpose of this article, I want to give you the true definition of Spirit Guides, Higher Souls and Angels and

AUGUST 2018

how they interplay with our soul’s experience on earth.

The Old Testament from the Hebrew text defines angles as Created beings who were exuberant witnesses when God brought the world into being (Psalms 148:2 148.5 & Job 38.7).

By nature, they were spiritual entities and thus not subject to the limitations of human flesh.

Wikipedia says: Angels are often depicted as benevolent celestial beings who act as intermediaries between God or heaven and humanity. Other roles of angels include protecting and guiding human beings, and carrying out God’s tasks.

This is why I call on angels before I tune into someone’s energy, before a reading. Angels help send a clear message from God to me, which helps my client understand God’s will.

The next thing I call on before a reading is God’s wisdom so that I can best help you with the lessons that are before you.

Remember, we always have a choice in our life. We are born with a life path to walk down. But often in our fear of making decisions, we ignore God’s wisdom coming through the little voice of intuition -- and we go off road, sometimes right over the cliff!

When you are up against a difficult turn in your road of life, always ask God for his wisdom… then listen. Ask angels to bring the clear messages from God and embrace you with love and protection. Ask your spirit guides to give you signs that you are on the right track; this will help keep you on your life path so you can quickly evolve to a higher soul status.

Memories of Home

By Eve Wilson

A quality of light, a complex scent, sun heating while breezes cool, a bird’s call, a voice, the taste of picnic foods, something glimpsed from the corner of your eye…any of these and so much more may spark a memory that brings feelings of safety, of beauty of love – memories of home.

Summer is full of these kinds of memories, and as we go deeper into these ripe days of August, our hearts open, our breathing becomes deeper; we feel a sense of comfort that reminds us of our youth and the freedom and peace of long vacations. As adults, we may rarely experience those feelings as fully as we did as children, but the memories stay with us and help carry our spirits through the greater responsibilities we bear. It is good to take time to immerse in the feelings of summer and the memories they bring, to release our burdens and lighten our hearts and minds.

We also carry the memory of our eternal spiritual home; of

unity, wholeness, and joy that we knew there. These subliminal soul memories carry even greater innocence and beauty than our memories of youthful summers, yet the youthful memories may spark within us the deeper memories of our home in spirit. Compared to our time in that spirit home, our time on earth is like a blink of an eye, yet it seems from the earthly perspective to be the opposite. We are like small children who only believe what we see before us, everything else doesn’t exist.

Though we long ago learned that when parents leave they will come back, we may not remember that our home in spirit still exists though it is harder to perceive when we are in human form.

Many people don’t feel worthy of the great love that holds us always from our home in spirit, and which calls us back during sleep, or sometimes in meditation and when our time on earth is finished. And for many, the belief is soured and denied because the world is too hard and we have become embittered.

But when we feel the moist sand under our feet and water lapping at our toes; when we hear the seagulls cry and taste the water-moistened breeze, we can hardly help but open our

heart and let love in from that highest source of home that we are all connected to for eternity.

Summer has another amazing quality, which is that it causes our spiritual selves to expand beyond our human experience.

Because of the sun and the increased energy that it brings, all of life reaches upward and out, and then inflows the love of the true source of life. With that comes a lightness and unity that imbues us with promise and gratitude. It also brings seeds of enlightenment. And so during these summer times of expansion and relaxation we may find something growing within us – a new sense of self, a new direction or adventure for our lives, a feeling of hope.

Though it may seem improbable, it is true that our spiritual home grows closer to earth exponentially every day during our current era. Its presence brings increased unity with wholeness and truth which causes hatred, fear, despair, judgment, and greed to bubble up from the great unconscious of people in order to be healed. This is called the journey of ascension, and it is the experience that we are contracted for at this time in the universe, not just on earth.

The healing crisis we are experiencing in the world signals the ending of a way of life built on separation, fear, and greed.

It also initiates the beginning of a way of life built on unity with Higher Intelligence, love and truth. The innocence we remember from childhood summers and deep within our souls from our eternal home in spirit provides a calm center within us.

It helps us to believe that we will make it through the time of cleansing we are undergoing on this planet, and emerge into a better experience than ever before.

The Silver Thread: Loss

often substantial economic changes.

By Dr. Michael Abramsky

Soon after I began practicing, I noticed a common thread for patients coming to see me. Most of them had suffered or were anticipating suffering a loss. They had been fired from a job, a divorce was imminent, or a relative had died.

separation. (4) Jail term. (5) Death of close family member. (6) Personal injury or illness.

Last month I discussed some of the research on attachment styles.

Attachment is the primal bonding process that unites a child with its mother. It is a fundamental building-block of our personality and a key determinant of our adult relationships.

Loss is the counterpart to attachment.

It is the traumatic twin of bonding; it is the disintegrative threat to that sense of unity that characterizes a healthy attachment to another. Loss is the trauma that occurs when attachments are broken.

The literature on loss is profound.

Sigmund Freud wrote a famous book, “Mourning and Melancholia”. In that book, he observed that people who were clinically depressed looked like the mourners at a funeral. He drew a line between depression and the initiation of loss.

Modern clinical research developed the Holmes-Rahe Scale. Thomas Holmes was a physician who studied life expectancy. He was curious about events in a person’s life and their effect on a person’s longevity and health. He found that losses were associated with the early onset of death. His research led him to rank ordering life events and their impact on health and the lifespan.

He saw losses as a form of stress. The most stressful events were (1) Loss of a spouse. (2) Divorce. (3) Marital AUGUST 2018

Losses have both physical and psychological consequences. Modern researchers have classified loss as a depressogenic stress. Contemporary research acknowledges that people have a biological susceptibility to depressions, but there are also environmental stressors that will trigger depressive episodes. The severity of the depressive events depends on their severity, the amount of disruption, and irregularity of the event.

Severity: Severity depends on the centrality of the loss. According to the Holmes-Rahe Scale, the greatest attachment leads to the most profound sense of loss. As one can imagine, a long-term marriage which leads to a loss through death is one of the most psychologically damaging and unsurprisingly often leads to depression.

Disruption: Disruption depends on the amount of life change a loss leads to. Deaths are irrevocable, and some deaths alter our lives profoundly. Many of us have experienced the loss of pets. Often the feelings are profound and depressing, but, for most of us, the mourning period is relatively short. We replace pets and, despite our emotional attachment to them, their loss rarely affects our lives profoundly; most of our life goes on. On the other hand, the loss of a spouse leads to profound loneliness, a change in overall relationships, 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

Irregularity: This refers to the fact that some events are not consistent with the expected tragedies in life. While the death of a spouse at 75 years of age is stressful, the death of that same spouse at 25 years old is profound. I have consistently observed that the most extreme and life-changing stressor is the loss of a child. When I have met people who have lost children, they “confess” it almost immediately and never escape the feeling of loss. Often their lives center on that fervent event, and it becomes their identity.

From a Buddhist perspective, a loss is a break with attachment. The first reaction is an attempt to hold on. We often idolize the lost person, memorialize them in kept photos and objects, and will not clean out their belongings. But a loss is seen as one example of the constant that is changing, and we must move on.

Our life practice is to exist in the present, and this entails devoting our energy to the life we have in the present. While the loss of others still exists in our lives and memory, we need to incorporate and integrate the life lessons we have learned from a loved one, but we must move on.

Therapy of loss involves two stages.

The first is going through the mourning process. We need to let go. The second stage is to find meaning in one’s present circumstances. That is, one must live in the moment, and learn gratitude for what the present holds. We need to let go. But let go with love.

Beautiful Divine You

from our Creator to learn from the experience. So, whenever you encounter someone you feel unable to connect and accept as themselves or love them, it’s actually an

By Miche Lame’

Have you ever noticed that all religions, at least those I’m aware of, start with the foundation that we come from the divine?

That’s the very first premise. The primary premise. If we all come from the divine, wouldn’t it make sense that we are, at our core, divine ourselves?

opportunity to learn what’s inside you that prevents you from that loving connection. Chances are, it’s from old, egoic defenses defending wounds you haven’t worked through/learned from yet.

Would you be willing to come with me on an exercise? Just close your eyes.

Imagine someone you love. Now, see a bright, radiating light within them. That’s their divine, loving self. Next, can you see the energetic cord that’s between the two of you? It’s usually pink in color.

Feel the divine love flow between you.

Now, look within yourself. See your inner light? That’s your divine inner light and you are mindfully choosing to share that divine light with the one you love. Feel the love flowing between you. Congratulations! You’ve just connected with your divine self.

You can connect with your divine self anytime you choose to. It’s always there, just waiting to be accessed and shared.

Love is about the only energy that grows when shared. And, the more you give, the more you receive, as long as you give without expectations. When you have expectations, that becomes conditional and controlling love rather than the divine, unconditional love that’s so intrinsic to our true, divine self.

Conditional love is from the ego.

Remember, all creatures are of the divine and everyone is in this plane of existence for a reason -- to grow into their most divine aspect.

We all carry our own “crosses” or “burdens” to learn and grow from in this lifetime -- and you can rarely be sure as to what burdens other people are carrying. You can just choose to connect with your divine self and practice loving kindness. First with yourself, and then once you have it, feel it, and share with the person you encounter.

You always carry that divine love within you. You can cover it up with muck and hide it from yourself and others, yet you can’t hide it from our Creator. You are just believing your own lies of the ego if you deny your true self. So, make a practice of mindfully, with full intention and integrity, connect with your wonderful, divine true self and watch your connection with others and our Creator grow. You’ll live a happier, more loving life!

Beneficial ‘At Home’ Remedies

By Mary Light

Learn tools for everyday living.

Enjoy life in the present moment!

Treat Yourself!

Here are two more Self Help ideas for using natural methods at home: FIRE CIDER- Have you heard of this? This general tonic goes back decades into traditional naturopathic annals and is now re-emerging in the holistic community through herbal folks. What does it do? Testimonies from our staff and clients say, “It knocks out a cold”, “It restores breathing during difficult episodes”, and “It alkalizes the body for better digestion.” Children have benefited from it for strengthening their immune system-- and me, too.

We make it with 50% apple cider vinegar and 50% actual cider or apple juice, and then add the “hot stuff” (raw peppers, cayenne, horseradish, onion, garlic) to steep for a few weeks.

Fire Cider is not proprietary, and there are many valid and effective recipes to be found online, in books, and on YouTube.

I like to add dried Michigan cherries for some sweetness and a local twist. An ounce a day-- about half of a little dixie cup, for example-- is the dose.

Sometimes each summer, one of our herbal or naturopath students gets stung, and we grab one leaf, chew it, and put the wet poultice of chewed plant material directly on the sting, and it is immediately cooled and relieved.

VegMichigan SummerFest is Aug. 5 in Livonia

Stay Calm in Awkward Moments, Using the HeartMind Connection

By Diane Kasunic

One issue that clients bring to me over and over is dealing with awkward questions and comments from others. The comments can catch us unexpectedly and trigger feelings of frustration and helplessness. They may be innocent and interpreted as attacking comments based on our inner reference points. Communication can be complicated. You decide whether or not they are innocent.

Free event offers meat-free fun for the whole family –

Summertime, and the eatin’ is easy – and meatless, at the third annual VegMichigan SummerFest happening Sunday, Aug. 5 at Madonna University in Livonia.

The free, family-friendly event takes place from 11 a.m. until 5 p.m. and features a huge selection of tasty summertime eats such as burgers, ice cream, dogs and shakes – all plant-based, or vegan, meaning free of animal products. Nearly 60 food trucks and vendors including Anna’s House, Ben & Jerry’s, the Clean Plate, D’Vine Cookies, the Nosh Pit, Shimmy Shack and Urge Raw Juice will tempt the taste buds. Attendees also can enjoy shopping for unique vegan items, playing sand volleyball, carnival games, a bouncy house and more while being entertained by the Hines Drive Band and the award-winning Sun Messengers.

“Vegan is a major eating trend, and SummerFest is the biggest vegan party of the summer,” says event chair and VegMichigan vice president Tom Progar. “It’s a great event to bring friends and family to and to see how tasty vegan foods can be.”

SummerFest is sponsored by Personalized Veterinary, Fresh Thyme Market, Zerbo’s Health Foods and Detroit’s iconic Old Shillelagh Irish pub, which will debut a new vegan menu.

Best known for hosting the annual VegFest each spring, VegMichigan is a nonprofit organization promoting awareness of the health, environmental and ethical benefits of a plantbased diet.

SummerFest takes place at Madonna University, 36600 Schoolcraft Rd. in Livonia. Admission and parking are free.

Regardless of the intent, don’t allow yourself to be bullied by anyone. This will only undermine your self-esteem and selfrespect. This includes inappropriate or invasive comments and questions, even those said in jest. We hear people say, “I did not know what hit me.” The following strategies are meant to ensure you never feel caught off guard. Prepare yourself with a standard set of responses to comments and questions that may be inappropriate but posed to you by others. These responses should be given politely. These response strategies will almost immediately shift the focus off of you and add to your feelings of resilience.

Here are some response strategies or rebuttals for awkward questions: What do you think?

Why do you ask?

I have been wondering myself.

I’ve been asked that question before, I wonder why that is?

What do you mean?

As soon as I find out, I’ll let you know.

I feel a bit uncomfortable hearing that from you.

I’ll have to give the comment some thought.

I appreciate your feedback, and although I disagree, I understand your position.

Please remember that your tone and voice pitch are key in delivering these messages. Focus on your tone so that you are not delivering a message of sarcasm, but one of sincerity. Most will realize that they overstepped and withdraw the comment or question. Be sure to use a calm and deliberate voice. It should be firm but not defensive.

Inappropriate comments may be unexpected and leave you feeling void of mental and emotional protection. Make sure you are breathing and don’t rush to respond. Take your time.

How to support yourself: To support yourself in these situations you can visualize a silver stream from your heart to your brain. This mental image is a powerful way to connect heart and brain. Silver is known as an excellent conductor. Your heart literally has a brain of its own, so allow that brain to merge with the mind-brain. Next, see yourself standing in the middle of a balanced medicine wheel. Be in the center between north, east, south and west.

Keep in mind that spirit is most often associated with the north, wisdom with the east, physical power with the south and emotional energy with the west. You will have to subtly acknowledge these components of your being as you set yourself in the middle of the wheel, making your response more balanced and compassionate. The compassion is good for the other person, but it is even better for you! You will produce less stress-hormone and be able to reach inner calm more quickly after the encounter.

If you practice, you may not even have to leave inner-calm.

(As a visual to support this image, white is typically associated with spirit, yellow with wisdom, red with physical and black with emotion.) It may help to see the sun, some say Father Sun, shinning upon you and the Holy Spirit protecting you through the rays of the sun. Light-up your heart and stay in the light.

After having researched and studied the spirit and mind for over 35 years, I have been able to give full evidence to the following: IT HAS NEVER BEEN, AND IT IS NOT NOW, NOR WILL EVER BE YOUR EGO THAT CAUSES ANY OF YOUR CURRENT EMOTIONAL, MENTAL, OR SPIRITUAL ISSUES! The ego is God’s greatest gift to us! In fact, our egos and God are one!

Ego allows you to feel your magnificence and Divine nature. It allows you to feel good about yourself when you’ve done well. When you feel the Divine within you, when you feel good about yourself, you create your life MORE in the direction of love and goodness. So, your ego is the most important aspect of being a “being.” It is not an earthly trait. The Source of all there is, God, infused ego into us upon our creation. It is part of our very essence and is in the likeness of God. GOD HAS EGO!!!

God feels good when It and we do good! Throughout Chapter 1 of the Bible, after everything God created, it says, “God saw that it was good.” What do you think God was saying here? “I did a good job!” That is God’s ego being able to acknowledge the goodness and beauty It created. Its ego allowed it to create more goodness and beauty. The ego can acknowledge the difference between bad and good, but it doesn’t direct us or fool us or cause us to make any lower choices. Other aspects of our psyche, our minds, cause us to do that. Without ego, we would have no reason to exist! Without ego, we wouldn’t have been created!

Life without an ego would be the same thing as sex without the feeling of an orgasm.

Is it the orgasm that causes us to be promiscuous and seek to keep feeling that pleasure? NO, of course not! Again, it is another part of our mind that motivates our choices, based on what feels good. We are motivated to do things and create beliefs in an attempt to feel good about ourselves, especially when our ego has been bruised, hacked at, or broken. The two defenses we use to make us feel better about ourselves are intellectualization and rationalization.

Intellectualization and rationalization direct our thoughts to find something or someone else to blame. Since the earliest days of psychological and spiritual counseling and guidance, humankind has needed to identify something to direct “blame” towards. If it’s not someone else, which is most common, it’s something within. In early times it was the “devil” that caused us to do bad things. Some religions today still hold that to be their truth. Over the past few centuries, psychology and spirituality movements have labeled it to be the “ego” that is causing all our individual troubles as if it were something separate from our minds that we could control independently. “The devil made me do it,” has become: “The ego made me do it!”

“Damn that ego, it keeps getting in the way.” “I’m such a good person, most of the time, but that ego, boy, gives me all my troubles!” We do that because it is easier to pass the blame onto something other than our own direct thoughts, beliefs, 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

behaviors. “I’m getting in my own way,” “I screwed up,” is much harder to admit and accept.

any bible is pure ego and in the “purest” sense of the word. False ego, overinflated ego, etc are all fictitious terms meant to misdirect us from what is truly the cause of our inability to evolve and live to our fullest potential.

Go to the right side of my website and listen to Marianne Williamson’s greatest work, “Our Greatest Fear,” and see that she is talking about how we “fear” our egos. Then, come back here again to discover what truly gets in our way.

In the meantime, be thankful for the greatest part of you, your oneness with God, your ego!

So now, the common theories coming from some who are considered “enlightened experts” on how to evolve to your highest potential are all the same: “Lose your ego,” “Control your ego,” “Let down your ego,” “Rise above your ego,” “Embrace, but keep your ego in check,” and on and on. Can anyone please tell me the correct way to “check” your ego?

“Ok, today I feel great that I just got the promotion at work I always wanted.

Wow! I feel so proud of myself. Now hold on here. HOW great am I feeling about that? I don’t want to feel too great about it. I mean, after all, it’s only an accomplishment and I’ve been dreaming about that promotion for a long time. I don’t want my ego to get out of control here. I don’t want to feel too good now.

That may make me feel egotistical or better than everyone else.” Can anyone please tell me how that type of living and attitude empowers our spiritual evolvement?

WiseMindGentleSoul Instilling Awareness And Identifying Untapped Potential Through Meditation.

WiseMindGentleSoul is a newly founded mental health and wellness company out of West Bloomfield, MI. It aims to instill awareness and identify untapped potential, primarily through the means of meditation. WiseMindGentleSoul (WMGS) draws inspiration from many types of meditation including transcendental, mindfulness, and loving-kindness.

Brandon Klein, founder, WiseMindGentleSoul integrates aspects of all the above into WMGS meditations even adding some of his own flavor into the meditations. Klein is dedicated to alleviating suffering and helping others realize their full potential. “Part of what meditation teaches us to do is to not expect an outcome or destination,” explains Klein. “No meditation is ever the same and I am a believer in throwing away the scripts and the audio of the same meditation and become accustomed to experiencing the process as it evolves.

Klein received his Bachelors in Honors Psychology with minors in business and music from the University of Michigan in 2015. Afterwards, he earned his Master’s in clinical psychology from Hofstra University in 2016. As a part of his graduate work, Brandon served as a training clinician and held the role of Intake Coordinator at the University clinic. He also has experience leading individual and small group meditations, as well as leading meditation for businesses in larger group settings.

If Klein were to describe one main goal, of WiseMindGentleSoul meditations, it is to build up mental muscles to form a new relationship with thoughts, thus, gaining free will to behaviors and actions. For too long the field of clinical psychology has relied on medication, changing thought patterns, and talking through various issues. Klein doesn’t find these to be ineffective; however, as standalone options he simply feels they are insufficient. “It is time to treat our minds with love and respect - this does entail challenging work and willingness to experience discomfort.”

Meditation has become more and more popular throughout Western society. It is a heavily talked about topic; however, it is common for there to be an information gap regarding how to start meditating. Klein is committed to providing flexible, relatable, and easy to understand methods to beginning a meditation practice and consistently maintaining it. He realizes that meditation is simply a piece of the wellness puzzle and enjoys collaborating with other professionals whose goal is to improve one’s well-being.

WiseMindGentleSoul offers two important services currently.

Hour long one-on-one meditation sessions on a weekly basis.

30

Individuals meet for a meditation experience uniquely tailored to the person. Generally, the sessions involve journaling/writing, sitting meditation, and verbal process work. Klein will provide books, videos, and other outside resources to supplement the work. Individuals can also expect to have a 10-minute phone session weekly to reinforce the work often revising the weekly plan as needed.

Group meditations for up to 10 individuals per group are 90 minutes long and place a large emphasis on group process work. Individuals can expect to learn from each other and to have a comfortable space to divulge personal details or simply share what is working or not in the meditation practice. These groups can be a great supplement to individual meditations or can serve as a standalone weekly option.

For information contact WiseMindGentleSoul (248) 824-0605 or wisemindgentlesoul.com.

"When a caterpillar spins its cocoon, it goes through a transformative process and then emerges as a butterfly.

Similarly, when we go through a practice of meditation and prayer, we loosen our egoic grip on a sense of self that is separate from the Whole and become vehicles of the emergent evolutionary paradigm of love, peace , compassion, wisdom, harmony and oneness that seeks expression on the planet."

Michael Bernard Beckwith "Your good is happening right now, even as you accept this statement of truth." Michael Bernard Beckwith "Today refuse to see yourself as a recipient of negative vibrations or as a victim of subtle or gross influence around you. Practice broadcasting the high vibrations of your inner radiance remembering all the while that the place upon which you stand is holy simply because you are standing there."

Applying the Five Levels of Self-Talk “Wanting to be a positive thinker isn’t enough…We are too busy fixing the train to realize that we are on the wrong track.”

- What to Say When You Talk to Yourself, pages 89 and 112 If we want to manage ourselves in a better way, the first step is to change our programming. Levels 4 and 5 truly harness our untapped power: Negative Self-Acceptance. “I can’t…” (e.g., “I can’t lose weight.”)

Recognition & Need to Change. “I need to… I should…” end with an unspoken “but”, which makes Level 2 dangerously ineffective.

Decision to Change. “I never… I no longer…” (e.g., “I no longer smoke.”)

The Better You. “I am…” You’re painting a new picture of yourself.

Universal Affirmation. “It is…” – expressed as a statement of fact.

The Five Levels of Self-Talk can be applied in countless situations: Daily. If we allow “details” like driving annoyances, standing in line or dealing with rain to upset us, we can change our attitude any moment we like.

Miscellaneous Contexts. These encompass problemsolving, getting organized, “selling”, shifting over-used “carrot or stick” management approaches and more.

Specific Issues. Who doesn’t wish they could save money? How about reframing tight finances as follows: “I am good at earning what I need. Every month, without fail, I put something aside. Each week/month/year, I become financially secure.”

Habit-Changing. To move from worry to freedom, we can create and practice new language such as “I choose to look at the world around me in the bright, healthy light of optimism and self-assurance.”

Hope everyone is loving and enjoying the exercises we’ve been doing. Sometimes there will be some overlap with other months with what we are working on. This month let’s focus on action and abundance. Focus on the Sun and utilizing the energy of the Sun and the Central Sun of All and the Earth itself to ignite true abundance.

We will do the same exercises as last months with slightly different focus and different chants. We will again work inward so focus inward like we have in earlier exercises on the flame at the base of our heart chakra. As we did in those exercises, let’s begin with expanding that flame outward until it fills the room.

Now focus on bringing the Sun to surround you and merge yourself with the Sun and your expanded core.

Lean forward slightly with your head, place your tongue to the roof of your mouth and take three deep breathes.

Now focus on the Central Sun of all and bring that to surround you and merge with it as well.

Now focus on your feet being surrounded by the Earth and ground solidly. Focus inward now on the highest flow and abundance. Focus on a massive golden gate in front of you, the Gate 8888 and let yourself enter.

Start with this chant, Eeeuukvaashyeay Now meditate for 8 minutes, set a timer. begin again with this chant, bvawkwryeyautayna Now meditate again for 8 minutes.

Don’t worry about a perfect pronunciation just feel the sounds of each letter.

Begin again with this chant, Shakjwantreybu Now meditate again for 8 minutes.

Switch this up every day, one day do them all together, the next day split each part up at different times of the day. Do the first when you wake in the morning, second midday and third before bedtime.

Switch it up as many different ways as you can come up with.

Beauty as Your Muse

By Tatiana Scavnicky

Some summer mornings and into early fall, I bring my first cup of coffee with me to walk slowly and lazily around my block. I love the sun and the shade, and the way the trees filter the light. The warm wind holds branches in its gentle sway. I take my shoes off and sip, here and there stopping to take in the majesty of a grand mothering tree. I pause just a bit inside when yellow-green tree pollen dusts the sidewalk.

It’s so easy to see the beauty in other things, such as people and places. Beauty can open up a whole new world inside, like when we are impacted forever by another country, or a simple undiscovered garden we never noticed before in our own backyard. The way your favorite writers write and lovers love.

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder, they say. We see beauty in others and tumble inside. Sometimes willingly. Recognizing beauty in others can make us question whether or not we are beautiful, and we do the ‘measure-up’ thing. The souls who capture us are never perfect, but perfectly flawed. The gardens and age-old cities seduce us with stories buried in their cracks and imperfections. Beauty as truth is witnessing our own loveliness reflected back, when we see it outside ourselves.

The more we look for beauty and seek it out, the more we are charmed by what we see and who we are with. It’s the law of attraction in motion. “Seek and ye shall find.” Beauty heals us deeply. Music and literature we love elevates, beautifying us from the inside out. True beauty is authentic and natural.

I recommend falling in love with trees, animals, places, and people, whenever you can.

Your Sacred Dreams

by Michael Beckwith

There is a sacred dream within you that’s calling you to greatness, driving you toward excellence. It fills your heart with vitality and vigor. It asks you to become focused and bold and available. Looking at it from a qualitative standpoint, the bigger your sacred dream, the closer you are to Reality. When you have a magnificent dream steeped in the possibility of what you’re becoming, you get closer to touching Reality because the energetic substance of the dream already is timeless, dimensionless. It’s infinite and eternal.

When your dream is small, it’s easy to get snagged in illusion.

Small dreams are inherited from the society in which you were born. They are most often dreams of survival, materialism and consumerism. This is an extremely limited form of expression.

Oftentimes people have been sucked down by the undertow of the human experiential domain and are unaware that they’re living in a very small dream. “I’m just trying to make it. I’ll be happy if I can just get by. I just need a few more dollars to help me get over. I just want to make some money…”

“I just want to… I just want to… I just want to…” There’s always something else that’s lacking, something else that you need before you can fulfill your vision. When you’re bombarded by small minds with small conversations, the dreams that you inherit from this small world are mainly about convenience and comfort. People trapped in the small dream are just taking a vacation on planet earth. They become mired in the stagnant energy of apathy and lethargy—an I don’t know and I don’t care mentality. These little dreams put you under the hypnotic spell of thinking that you’re separated from your good.

As you grow in your spiritual identity you eventually become aware of something that’s pulling you forward: the commitment and challenge of bringing your sacred dream to fruition. Go ahead. Let it emerge. Become committed to expressing the evolutionary urge of your own soul. Embrace the challenge of becoming more you.

Surrendering to this spiritual urge doesn’t always feel good.

It’s not always comfortable or convenient. But it yields bliss and ecstasy because bliss and ecstasy are the function of the activation of the potential of your soul. If you aren’t evolving, there’s no bliss. If you aren’t becoming more you, there’s no ecstasy. If you aren’t allowing your heart to be broken open by compassion, there’s no perennial peace that passes human understanding. With commitment and challenge based on deep surrender, you understand the mandate to seek first the realm of ever-expanding good, the kingdom of God. Everything else is added onto you.

Victim or Villain

By Susan deCaussin

What are you….a victim or a villain? In just about every scenario that you hold on to, and mentally revisit, you’ll find that to be true. You’re a villain when you say or do things that hurt others -- whether on purpose or not. You’re a victim when you receive that negative energy from someone else.

One thing stands true, no matter which role you play -- no matter how many times you rethink a situation, it won’t change what happened. In either case, though, you end up carrying the baggage of emotions like guilt, anger, and resentment, with you as you move forward.

And, what does that do? It steals away your body’s energy and robs you of being fully present to enjoy life to its fullest.

Why? Why do we continually throw energy toward things that we are powerless to change?

Have you ever heard the expression, “You’re going to worry yourself to death over that!”? In a weird kind of way, there’s actually some truth to that. We are energetic beings that illuminate physical bodies, not unlike a hand animates a glove.

The same energy that powers the mind, gives life to and sustains, the physical body -- our vehicle for this experience here on earth. To redirect that power away from these things is like kinking a garden hose while trying to water your garden.

Your overall health-mental, physical and spiritual -- is deprived of this energetic food. You end up living in a world filled with anxiety, stress and dis-ease.

So, do you still think that directing your energy to things of the past is worth it? Are you really willing to sacrifice your wellbeing for the sake of this? There is another way. A better way.

When everything that you say, do and think comes from a place of unconditional love, you can release the need to replay the past. You can be at peace with yourself and be fully present to enjoy the present moment.

Regardless of whether you need to forgive yourself or someone else, the result is the same -- being able to confidently move forward without feeling the need to look back. You can’t go back and change the past, but you can always heal the wounds and move forward in a new way.

If it’s guilt that you’re feeling, perhaps a simple apology can release it. If that’s not possible, you can still decide to let go and resolve to change your behavior from this point forward.

Maybe, though, you’re holding onto anger from something that

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

AUGUST 2018

was done to you. You still have the option to release it through the act of forgiveness. Now, before you dig your heels in, forgiveness is not about condoning the bad behavior of others.

It’s about releasing the weight of thoughts that aren’t serving you in a positive way and empowering yourself to move beyond it. After all, holding on to anger isn’t punishing anyone but you.

So whether it’s guilt or anger, you have the choice of whether to re-live or release those emotions and redirect your energy toward sustaining a healthier body and a happier life.

It’s your choice. Choose to live a clean life. Not just by eating organic foods, exercising and drinking plenty of water, but by thinking, speaking and acting from a place of pure love. These actions will help to align you with your highest self. And, that which we are in alignment with, brings us more of the same.

Spiritual Horoscopes

By Aluna Michaels, M.A.

L

eo (July 23 – Aug. 22) — Happy birthday Leo! Don’t give up on your dreams! In meditation time, add extra power to visualizations and wishes. After you imagine your desired goals, bring up the feeling of success and fulfillment. Let the gratitude and happy emotions fill your heart and spill out to touch every cell of your body! It’s a challenge when you haven’t met the goal yet, but keep trying. Carry the feeling with you all day. You’ll have powerful results in late August with career and relationships!

V

irgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22) — As Mars moves direct, you’ll have clarity in relationships. Meditate on your highest values. Balance your thoughts about being picky as a way of protecting yourself from hurt vs. having standards when it comes to love. Spiritually, re-connect with the beliefs that make you feel vital and alive! You want to be motivated to connect with your soul and the Universe, not to feel that it’s a chore. As Mercury moves direct in late August, focus on stopping self-flagellating thoughts and enlace them with loving voices!

L

ibra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22) — Venus is in your sign, so focus on self-love!

Also dwell in a “casual state of appreciation”. Don’t try too hard to be grateful, just let it happen as you go about your day by changing your focus. As Mars moves direct, you’ll have profound healings about

family issues that have prevented you from feeling as close to others as you’d like. You can also have a great job offer! Also, meditate to gain intuitive solutions with finances; whether about your budget, debts, or how to open to greater prosperity.

S

corpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) — If you’re frustrated in relationships, hold your tongue (Mars turning direct can make you snippy!). Meditate on the vision you have for partnerships, then write out your thoughts. When you feel calm, present your ideas to your loved one. You’ll be surprised at how you both can work out a collaborative solution that brings your connection to a higher level. At work, you can have breakthroughs you’ve been waiting on for awhile!

S

agittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) — Mars moving direct is a great boon for your finances! Mercury also finishes its retrograde pattern, and along with the eclipse, deepens your spiritual path. Find styles of meditation that suit you. Maybe go for a run and then sit quietly in nature. Or maybe try yoga, qigong, or chanting. The idea is to do something each day that nourishes your soul and enhances your connection with your intuition or the Universe. If you’re having work issues, inner guidance that comes through meditation time gives surprisingly effective results!

C

apricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) — Mars finally moves direct in your sign, providing you with enthusiasm to set out on new goals! Think about what makes you feel passionate and alive and move in those directions. You could also feel irritated in close relationships. It’s a good time to have heart to heart conversations, but meditate first and get clear and level-headed about the changes you want. If you’re overly emotional, things can explode.

Remember that love and abundance are all around you, so don’t limit the amount of joy you let into your life!

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

quarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) — It’s a major relationship month that brings healing and transformation! Meditation reveals repressed anger from past connections, and also from childhood. Allow challenging feelings and memories to arise.

Write about your emotions, then maybe tear up or burn the paper. Underneath the frustration and despair lies clarity about your needs and life direction. You’ll tap into an authenticity that empowers and excites you! You’ll feel more valuable, and sexier.

Also, you can have career or money breakthroughs.

P

isces (Feb. 19 – March 20) — It can be hard to express yourself and your deepest thoughts, but please find the courage to open up. Meditate to find your true ideas and trust you’ll find the right time to say what needs to be said, without procrastinating or missing opportunities. With Mars moving direct, re-connect with friends and activities that bring you joy! Also take time to be in nature. Expand the feeling of safety you gain from that primal connection, and carry it with you to your interactions with people. A gentle, but powerful you will shine through!

A

ries (March 21 – April 19) — Mars and Mercury move direct, creating balance between work and relationships. You can get a promotion, or a new job that’s a pinnacle of your career! If single, you can meet a wonderful partner who resonates with many facets of your life. If partnered, you’ll have increased harmony, almost magically, even if there’s been tough issues! Meditation improves your ability to open to prosperity — especially how to hold onto money when it comes. Think purchases through, because you deserve to be able to make long-term financial plans!

T

aurus (April 20 – May 20) — Lifechanging Uranus retrogrades in your sign. Contemplate how you take care of your body. You might revolutionize the way you eat, how you look, or how you relate to others. Meditate on your personal value, since you’re likely underestimating your capacities on many levels. Over the next

AUGUST 2018

few months, you can tap into quantum potentials that have been dormant for many years, maybe even for your entire life!

Clear a space in your home for meditation, yoga, qigong, journaling or reading. Even if it’s just a certain chair or small area, you’ll infuse it with power as you dedicate time for yourself in that spot!

G

emini (May 21 – June 20) — Mars direct opens self-inflicted blocks to prosperity, heals wounds of betrayal in close relationships, and increases selflove. Meditate on feeling what you have to offer others. It can be talents in the workplace, or your level of communication and understanding in partnerships. You can also experience a sexual awakening as it feels safer to bond deeply with a committed person. In general, Gemini prefers to skim the surface, yet this month you’ll feel drawn into deeper parts of yourself in all sorts of human connections.

C

ancer (June 21 – July 22) — Relationships heal as Mars moves direct. Allow yourself to speak your truth from a balanced place so your needs can be met. But first, meditate to get clear on those needs. Often, you just feel unsettled and are not sure why. Going within helps you identify what your emotions actually are and where they stem from. Connecting with others is easier when you communicate openly! Also, as Uranus retrogrades, make time for friends you’ve been “too busy” for and have fun doing your favorite activities.

Perseverance – A Trait or a Learned Skill?

By Faith Brower

Have you ever wanted to paddle-board? How about learning a new language? If a desire or dream is there, it only takes practice and perseverance to achieve it! You have heard the saying, Practice makes perfect! But without perseverance, I find I will never practice what I want to learn. But how do I muster up this perseverance, especially when the going gets tough? And, is perseverance something we are born with or is it a skill we can strengthen?

Deborah Loewenberg Ball is a William H. Payne Collegiate Professor of Education, served as dean at the University of Michigan School of Education from 2005 to 2016, is Director of Teaching Works, and teaches math to elementary students every summer. She reminded me at a recent talk I attended, “Remember that perseverance is a context-specific set of skills, not a trait.” She says that when children are stuck and say they don’t know how to do something, instead of trying to show them, do the following: 1. Ask questions like: a. What is the assignment or problem saying, or asking? b. Is it like anything they have done before?

2. “Model” how you would try to puzzle about or approach it.

3. Show them ways to explain what is making them feel stuck.

So, think about something you HAVE persevered with in your life. Did you achieve your goal? Was there just one answer to the problem or situation?

Or were there many ways you could have solved it? Even more interestingly

w w w. B o d y M i n d S p i r i t G u i d e . c o m

to me, did you find out there was NO solution to the problem or issue?

Realizing there is no solution is a solution!

I wish schools would emphasize this possibility more and make it a known and okay answer. It took me many years to figure out no solution is a fine answer to many of life’s situations. If I had known this earlier, I could have moved on and said, “Next”, instead of becoming frustrated and often spending way too much time trying to “make it right”.

So how do we encourage perseverance so it can grow in us, AND in our children and grandchildren? For our children, we can practice using the above questions.

For them and ourselves, we can collect tasks and problems for practicing perseverance, according to Deborah Ball. For example, find math problems to solve, do picture puzzles, or word games.

Write on a chalkboard all the words you can think of that sound the same and have very different meanings, like reel and real. Keep adding to the list until you can come up with 50 as a family.

I challenge you to PRACTICE PERSEVERANCE. We can get better at it no matter how old we are! Try Deborah Ball’s suggestions: 1. Remember that perseverance is a crucial set of skills and mindset.

2. Continually provide opportunities to develop perseverance.

3. Identify AND comment on examples of it when you see it, in academic and other contexts.

Faith is the founder of a dog walking and pet sitting business called, “Faith’s Fidos & Felines”.

She has her Masters in Early Childhood Development, managed preschools and was the President of the Board at Unity of Farmington Hills.

With summer and warm weather upon us, now is the time to maximize getting outdoors and including Mother Nature in our health and exercise routines. While the benefits of walking are well-known, walking barefoot can also be highly beneficial!

Also called “earthing” or “grounding,” walking barefoot offers many benefits that often get overlooked. According to Dr. Mercola, walking with your feet directly touching the soil allows your body to absorb negative electrons through the earth, which helps stabilize daily cortisol rhythm and create a balanced internal bioelectrical environment.

WALKING BAREFOOT: HELPS IMPROVE YOUR SLEEP A study in PubMed revealed that earthing influences physiologic processes and induces relaxation. The Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine also reported that people who had been exposed to grounding had a better night’s sleep compared with those who did not walk barefoot regularly. Earthing is believed to stabilize circadian rhythms, which explains why many people experience a better night’s sleep.

HELPS STRENGTHEN THE IMMUNE SYSTEM In a comprehensive report published in the Journal of Environmental and Public Health, researchers found that walking barefoot can actually decrease white blood cell count and increase red blood cell count, indicating a positive immune response.

CAN REDUCE THE RISK OF HEART DISEASE According to a study published in the Journal of Alternative and Complementary Medicine, earthing increases the surface charge of red blood cells. This results in the reduction of clumping in the cells, which therefore decreases blood thickness.

Since high viscosity has been directly linked as a risk factor in heart disease, earthing therefore reduces the risk of heart disease significantly.

REGULATES THE NERVOUS SYSTEM, DECREASING FEELINGS OF ANXIETY AND STRESS Going outside in general can help regulate emotions and balance the nervous system, but letting your body come in contact with the soil directly decreases anxiety and stress even more. Since the earth carries a negative charge with it, and we have a positive charge due to all the electromagnetic waves we come in contact with daily, spending time connecting with earth is vital to your emotional and physical health.

So, take advantage of spending time outside – breathe in lots of fresh air, kick off your shoes, and walk barefoot! www.powerofpositivity.com

Stages of Consciousness

Emotions influence different stages of consciousness. Happy, sad, sassy, resentfulness; each identifying emotion carries with it its own dimensional frequency plane. Literally, its own reality construct. This can be challenged by observing how you feel, and the type of company that you keep during such an episode. One will always gravitate to the like energy they are in resonance with.

This is entrainment. Example: a group of clocks after a period of time will come to a collective consensus to chime at the same time. This relates as well to the underlying human behavior.

Matter tricks the brain into thinking that it is the beginning of all things rather than the end result.

I feel it goes without saying that, “We create the reality around us.” Everything at its fundamental core is energy. From the compression of sub-atomic particles to electrons, electrons to atoms, atoms to molecules, molecules to cells, cells to organs -- all this is nothing more than individualized consciousness expressing itself. When an atom is viewed under a high powered microscope, one witnesses empty space. For it is energy that congeals the forces together for an experience to be had by its host. It is all in the mind.

The physical plane animates the pondered thoughts that dance in the ether of the ONE MIND. Always my Best! William Helton Mind/Body/Nutrition Coach, 313-207-4483 please see his ad in the directory section and join him on facebook at https://www. facebook.com/MBNCOACH/ P a g e 47
