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)

We believe all people are One! And that this great truth lies deep within each person’s heart! We dedicate the Body Mind Spirit Guide to the One Mother, the One Father and their children (you & I)!

Receive More to Give More -- Gratitude for Who You Are
Essence (names for the same thing). Until you embrace self-acceptance, you are fighting with the things you don’t like, but you don’t realize that’s what you’re doing. You are unknowingly fighting with these things by trying to fix, heal, or manage them.
By Barbra White
You can only give what you receive. Be willing right now, to open to immense gratitude for the brilliance, beauty, and possibility that you are. Stop believing the lies, stories, and limiting patterns. The universe made you in an exquisite divine design. As you accept your innate brilliance you activate it in others. It is humble to accept your inner genius because it affirms you are not your own maker. Try to make something of yourself in this world and you will lose yourself. You are already something. You are already whole. Take time every day to act, move and speak from this wholeness and you will live a more joyfilled, fulfilled life... because you started from wholeness. Your intent shapes the outcome. Start from wholeness and you will get more wholeness. Start your day from trying to ‘fix’ yourself or make something of yourself, and you will only create more brokenness. Start your day from your already present wholeness, and more wholeness will be revealed. Self-acceptance right now is a radical shift from outward orientation to inward. We have been conditioned to ‘make sure we are alright’ from continual outside checkpoints. Feeling good in your own skin, being impressed with yourself, and living from your center is a 180-degree shift from the world’s conditioning.
For example, you have been taught by the world to manage your anxiety, repress your negativity, or control your weight. You are caught in a cycle of trying to fix yourself and you don’t even realize it. Much of healing work, personal growth work, or spiritual advancement is a disguise to not change. Accepting yourself as you are, allowing yourself to feel completely to the edge of a feeling will produce insights into your Real Genius Self. Actions with even hints of trying to avoid or fix your interiority will only provide temporary relief. This is why you feel you are re-creating the same life, while you are working so hard to heal. Self-Acceptance Process is a doorway, tool or bridge into your True Self. If you are continually having to re-love the same issue, it’s because you are in a painful process of just managing your limitations. Real self-acceptance, or lifechanging transformation, is a penetrating shedding to who and what you have always been. Self-love means loving the parts of you (patterns, fears, doubts, addictions) that you would rather repress, deny, or project on others. Surrendering to your innate Genius Self and what wants to dream through you, starts and ends with self-acceptance. The Real You is waiting to be lived. It is truly my joy to support you in self-love. It would be a delight to see you at the Self Acceptance Process Workshop, every 3rd Thursday, 7-9pm, in Northville. Also, the Self Acceptance Process and Healer Training classes are forming for 2019!

When the world around makes less and less sense; when efforts to find a mutually supportive and loving path fail; when we worry about the ability of the human race to survive its own greed and lack of vision, and the Earth’s ability to survive our presence here… what is left for us to do? These events are telling us to go within our hearts; beyond our minds, judgments and fears; to the place within where God -- by whatever name you call that One -- is present. The current world experience was destined from the dawn of time. It was designed to help us let go, give up, stop trying to make the world work from our limited human minds and wills. This is the time when we find that within us exists a new dimension of reality. In our true center, we can each open and align all that we are with our eternal true self. Beneath, beyond, and within our human egos lies the eternal presence of the divine and it is asking us to step out of the dream of separation and return to unity. This is a new unity, not one vast white light, but a rainbow with so many colors we can’t name them all. Each of

us is a unique facet of the one, refracting the light of unity with incredible beauty and variety. If we could make the world around us into our ideal of what it should be, we would miss the reality which we have prepared for since the dawn of time. The world as we know it has been a temporary place for learning individuality and growing independent potentials. Its time is over, and within each of us, there is opening a doorway to a new reality. The outer world isn’t going to become that reality; we are going to become new. And from that, we will co-create with the One, present within each individual, a world that we can barely imagine because it will be so right. When I was asked to write about gratitude this month, this for me held that grateful spirit most genuinely. Oh, there is so much to be grateful for, but I find the uncertainty of things in the outer sense, makes gratitude slip and slide right along with worry, shame, and fear. It is time to let go of those, though we may have to do so multiple times a day. When we focus within our own center on the divine presence that is our true self, we know our purpose here has just begun. There is a fortune of living yet to be lived. A fountain of joy we will only know when we reside in the new world which is being born from within us. For each of us that the new world is different! It is not a consensual reality which we need to agree on – This is what the new world should be like – No this is what it should be like!!! No, my way is better, and so on. The new world that is being born within is a personal facet of the rainbow of life which allows each of us to experience and co-create with God in our own way. In order for us to find this new rainbow, the Higher intelligence planned for us an inability to convince other people to do what we think is right. We will each at some point need to surrender our expectation of a consensual reality and the hope of “getting it right” by negotiating, buying, overpowering, fighting, protesting, yelling or promoting our ideas! The way to truly change the world is one person at a time – myself. I am supremely grateful that the discomfort of our world is forcing us to go within and find our inner divinity.
The world we live in now is very ill, but not because we screwed it up; though we are inclined to blame humanity. Everything that exists was designed to bring us to this pass, where we would have no option but to discover the new world waiting within each of us. If the outer world cooperated with our desires, we would be stuck in too limited a place. Our eternal and true self is so vast in its potential that we have to step out of the old experience, in order to begin to understand the new. But you can begin to do that now! Try this: breath into your heart, then step back until your spine feels like the middle of you. There you will find your still center. Open to the divine unity you find there and let it become your home. Re-center there as often as needed as you grow stronger in your new world self.

Whipped By Whiplash? It’s More Than A Pain In The Neck By Robert Auerbach
One of the most common injuries you might have suffered if you have been in a car accident is whiplash. The very name describes the aberrant and ferocious movements the head and neck are forced to endure: sudden hyperflexion -- the head and neck going forward and then being whipped back into hyperextension. While the precise symptoms you might experience will vary depending on how and where your car is hit, what seat you are in and what you are doing at the time, the following are common pain shooting up the back of the neck and into the back of your head, headaches that can range from mild to those approaching migraine status. The fascial or connective tissue muscular wrappings may form adhesions that glue soft tissue neighbors together, attempting to prevent further injury but end up creating a significant restriction in your ability to rotate your head from side to side. The very suddenness and unexpected nature of having another car careen into yours often create a post-traumatic tissue stress characterized by extensive guarding and hypersensitivity that is recognizable to a skillful practitioner as he/she palpates the area. I have often seen this tissue PTSD accompanied by classical PTSD with generalized anxiety and nervousness, lack of confidence and inhibited and shallow breathing. The suspensory ligaments of the lung’s pleura can often be traumatized and shortened thus impacting our respiratory freedom. To distinguish whiplash further from being just another pain in our necks is the impact that may show up to our sense organs. These impacts can include ringing in the ears (tinnitus) and November 2018
blurred or double vision. Because of both the fascial and nerve involvement, there may also be a pain, tingling, and numbness in the arms and hands. Much of the above description of whiplash suggests that this is not an easy to resolve injury. Add to all of that, our bodies are always struggling to right the position of our heads in space and this with bodies, that in the evolutionary scheme of things, have only recently become upright. Also, the chronic personal adaptations we have made with our head positions prior to the accident can impact how long it takes to unwind this trauma. For example, if you have a forward head posture (your head sitting forward of your torso) the whiplash can anchor that posture even more, and as the head whips back the forward head posture will allow for less flexibility with greater strain and pain. With such a complex injury, both the client and their healing practitioner would need patience as each layer of the trauma is unwrapped and all of the body’s compensations are structurally addressed. My original Rolf Structural Integration instructor, Emmett Hutchins, used to say that it often takes the whole 10 Session Series of Rolf work to completely resolve a whiplash. While there are a number of modalities you might find useful to explore with a whiplash (cranial sacral, chiropractic, acupuncture, deep tissue massage, and Rolf Structural Integration -- aka Rolfing) the sooner you begin the less time new compensations will have to become anchored in your body. Start your healing journey today. Robert Auerbach is a Certified Advanced Practitioner of Structural Integration with over 20 years experience treating patients. You can contact him at 313-407-6343 or rolftenmagic@icloud.com or visit his website at www.rolf-michigan.com

Gratitude and the Power of Karma
who are working for peace in our world. We, as metaphysicians, are sending our love energy to the group soul of the peacemakers on this planet, strengthening, supporting and inspiring them in their vitally important work.
By Chrissie Blaze While Love is our highest aspiration, gratitude is one essential expression of this. Giving thanks is a powerful way for us to radiate the energy of Love – this miraculous, universal force that heals and transforms.
The Twelfth Blessing, Blessed Is the Absolute, offers the most profound, poetic and beautiful description of God one could ever find. “It is the I Am within man. It is the life within all things…… It is the worlds. It is ever and forever and forever. It is infinity, and yet it is more than this – for It is behind even these things….”.
We know there are many ways to express our gratitude -– from blessing the food we eat to giving thanks for the challenges and experiences of life. For even, the most difficult are gifts from God to strengthen us in what Swami Vivekananda fittingly calls ‘the gymnasium of life’. When we offer our gratitude, we are also activating the Law of Karma in its positive phase. According to this exact Law of God, what we give out comes back to us. When we offer our love in this way, this must be returned. This is not why we do it but neither is it wrong to consciously manipulate this great Law of God in a positive way. In fact, as a karmic astrologer, I advise my clients to do just that, in order to help alleviate the more negative and challenging aspects of their natal charts. For me personally, the greatest expression of gratitude I have studied and practiced for over forty years is the beautiful teaching, The Twelve Blessings. Each Blessing offers a way for us to give our gratitude to those upon whom we depend for our continued existence upon this planet. It begins with the First Blessing, Blessed Are They Who Work for Peace, where we bless those people
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
When we offer our gratitude to God or the Absolute, we are nurturing the flame within us; that God Spark which is the Real and lasting part of us. We are helping to unravel the ties that have bound us throughout the lifetimes to reveal more of our Divine potential. The Twelve Blessings were delivered to the world in 1958 in England through the yogic mediumship of my Spiritual Master, Dr. George King. They were given by the Cosmic Avatar of Love, The Master Jesus, in order to bring His Love and Wisdom into the world for the coming Age. They are, we are told, a continuation of His Sermon on the Mount to include a Cosmic Concept, and our gratitude knows no bounds as we open our hearts to our beloved Mother Earth, the Mighty Sun, the Supreme Lords of Karma, and more. The beauty of the Law of Karma is that it is exact. When we offer our heartfelt gratitude to another person, it is a good thing and we will receive back a karmic blessing – either instantly or at some point in the future. However, when we offer our gratitude to a mighty Intelligence
November 2018
such as one of the Lords who control this great Law of God – a Lord of Karma, we receive back from this Blessing the return of an even higher Love energy. The Twelve Blessings is not only a most beautiful Spiritual teaching and practice, it is a way we can not only help ourselves by improving our own karmic pattern but, even more importantly, can help and heal our suffering world. In The Aetherius Society, we hold Twelve Blessings Services every Monday at 7:45 p.m. We play one of these sacred Blessings – recorded in 1958 on tape and now digitally remastered – at every Sunday Service at 11:00 a.m. Please join with us at these beautiful Services of great power and love. Also, on Thursday, November 15, I hope you will join me for a lecture on the Power of Karma, which we activate so positively during our heartfelt expressions of gratitude. Please see our ad for further info. Chrissie Blaze Chrissie Blaze is the author of twelve books, including her latest, Earth – Astrology’s Missing Planet. She is an international speaker and ordained priest in The Aetherius Society. Blaze was a longtime disciple of Spiritual Master, Dr. George King. www.chrissieblaze.com and www.aetheriusmi.org

The Magic Mineral Magnesium For Life
various conditions should be based on individual needs and tolerance. When adding supplemental magnesium, the guidance of an experienced healthcare professional is recommended.
Approximately eight out of ten Americans are deficient in magnesium. Sadly, they probably don’t realize the extent of health conditions caused by this deficiency. Cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, migraine headaches, ADD, chronic fatigue, fibromyalgia, chronic pain, gastrointestinal disorders, insomnia, obesity, depression, diabetes, and metabolic syndrome, among others, are linked to magnesium deficiency. I’m passionate about sharing this information since magnesium is one of the most important, yet overlooked minerals.
Maximizing Absorption with Vitamin B6: The active form of B6 is pyridoxal5’-phosphate (P-5-P). B6 enhances bioavailability because it is a cofactor for magnesium.
By Dr. William H. Karl, D.C.
Why We Need It: Magnesium is a cofactor for approximately 350 enzyme systems that regulate biochemical reactions in the body, including protein synthesis, muscle and nerve function, blood glucose control and blood pressure regulation. It contributes to the structural development of bone and is required for DNA/RNA synthesis, energy production, and the antioxidant glutathione. It’s involved in the active transport of calcium and potassium ions across cell membranes which is important to nerve impulse conduction, muscle contraction, and normal heart rhythm. Magnesium also prevents damage in the brain that can occur with injuries from contact sports. Sources: Nuts, seeds, cacao, avocados, leafy green vegetables, and milk products are just a few of the foods containing magnesium. Supplemental magnesium comes in various forms including lactate, malate, citrate, glycinate. Epsom salt, used primarily for plants and soaking, contains magnesium sulfate. Amount Recommended: The daily RDA for adults is 310-420 milligrams depending on age and gender. Increased amounts often indicated for

from absorbing magnesium and other nutrients from the soil. 3. Poor Diet: NIH studies show the majority of people in the U.S. fail to meet 75% of the dietary reference intakes for essential minerals. Processed and refined foods which lack minerals and other nutrients are consumed regularly while fresh foods are neglected. Magnesium helps neutralize excess acid and maintain proper pH balance so magnesium stores in the body are depleted when acid-forming foods are eaten. Soda depletes magnesium due to its high phosphoric acid content. Alcohol, coffee and other caffeinated beverages affect magnesium stores due to their diuretic effects. Alcohol interferes with the ability of magnesium to be absorbed in the gastrointestinal tract and contributes to loss of magnesium in the kidneys.
Measuring Levels: Serum levels have little correlation with total body levels since most magnesium is inside the cells and bones. Although saliva, urine, and erythrocytes can be used, no single method is considered satisfactory (ods. od.nih.gov). Clinical assessments are often the most useful. Why Is Deficiency So Common? 1. High-Stress Levels: Magnesium helps control and limit damage from the stress hormones, epinephrine (adrenaline), cortisol, and aldosterone. This means that the more stress we have the more magnesium we need. Author and heart specialist, Dr. Dennis Goodman, MD, (Magnificent Magnesium, 2014) explains, “When your body is flooded with cortisol and other stress hormones, magnesium is quickly expended in an effort to bring levels down to normal. Without magnesium, your stress levels stay elevated for an extended period of time. The result of chronic stress, therefore, is chronic magnesium deficiency.”
4. Poor Absorption: Many people suffer from impaired digestion due to enzyme deficiencies, insufficient stomach acid, food allergies, imbalanced gut flora, and other gastrointestinal conditions. Phytates and oxalates which occur naturally in nuts, grains, legumes, and many vegetables bind with magnesium and other minerals, preventing them from being absorbed. 5. Cofactor for Calcium/Vitamin D: Being their cofactor means magnesium is required to activate their benefits. Free magnesium binds to calcium and vitamin D as they’re taken in. When magnesium levels are low, the other biochemical reactions that depend on magnesium are short-changed. The recommended ratio of calcium to magnesium is 1:1, the same ratio that occurs naturally in food groups richest in these minerals. The previous, now outdated recommendation was 2:1. The bottom line is that excess magnesium enhances the absorption and storage of calcium while excess calcium blocks magnesium from being absorbed.
2. Fewer Nutrients in Food: Synthetic fertilizers, topsoil erosion, and farming practices are responsible for the diminished mineral content of the soil. American soil now has approximately one-sixth of the mineral content compared to what it was in the 1950’s. Food grown on these soils now have reduced mineral content. Plants cultivated by selective breeding and genetically modified (GM) foods also have lower concentrations of nutrients. The commonly applied herbicide (Roundup) prevents plants

Exaggerated Responses to External Stimuli
Cardiovascular Benefits: Magnesium acts as a gatekeeper to make sure excess calcium doesn’t enter the interior of the cell so is considered a natural calcium channel blocker similar to the class of blood pressure medications. Without adequate magnesium, excess calcium creates electrolyte imbalances which often leads to serious heart conditions. Stroke Prevention: Magnesium improves cerebral blood flow, especially in the microvessels. Since staying hydrated is an essential measure of stroke prevention, Dr. Russell Blaylock, MD, recommends taking magnesium along with fluids to improve blood flow. This helps reduce platelet adhesiveness which helps prevent the formation of blood clots.
Magnesium After Stroke: The article “Nutrition Limits Stroke Damage” from the Blaylock Wellness Report (March 2016) explains how magnesium protects the brain after a stroke. Studies have shown that magnesium administered soon after a stroke can improve blood flow, reduce inflammation, raise blood glutathione levels, and stimulate energy production through neurons. One of the newest studies showed that magnesium was most effective when administered within two hours of a stroke.

Gratitude in Simplicity
Happiness Rising Why I am Happy
By Scarlet Ireland
(Part 2) By Dave Krajovic
“It’s the simple things in life that are the most extraordinary.” Paulo Coelho When we find ourselves in overwhelm, disregard, lack, or even chaos, so often we look outside to fill the gap of disconnect or unwanted emotions. We may follow the comparison trap, which can unsurprisingly lead to the insatiable want of more and more. It can be subtle or not. In this incredible time of advancement, it is hard not to want more! More is not necessarily negative or bad; however, context, awareness, and true innate responsibility are oh-so-necessary now. How much do we really need? is the question. Allowing our focus to shift, supports us in asking this very important question. Acknowledging the simple things in our lives, and imagining living just one day without them, cannot help but produce a well of gratitude within us. These “simple” things can be anything from clean air to breathe, seeing a beautiful sunset, hearing the laughter of a child, witnessing a welcoming smile from a stranger, to the ability to drive a car to a job that pays for your dwelling and shelters you from the snow, rain, heat…. You get the idea. Returning to this practice, again and again, can be a powerful switch. There is so much to be grateful for when we look and then see. What is seemingly simple in your life, that upon deeper reflection is actually quite extraordinary? It can be a “simple” matter of a “switch” in perspective. When you love what you have, you have everything you need. Sincerely, Scarlet Ireland Contact me and mention this article for a free phone consultation on a Personal Energy Art Session.

Joy is our natural state of being. It’s true. You can observe young children and see the truth of what I say. Unfortunately, many of us find life a struggle and somehow joy is a distant memory. This is not the way it was meant to be. Last month we explored four keys to helping us experience more happiness in our day. They are: ·
Make the choice for happiness
·
Don’t’ take things personally
·
Get some exercise
·
Be mindful
As I mentioned, there are many avenues to happiness. These are what I have found most helpful to not only myself but to those that Pat and I coach. Here are even more power levers to enhance your happiness. 1. Be Grateful. Sadness is usually associated with some form of lack. If only I could get that promotion, or if she would only do this, then I would be happy. If we could turn our focus to what we do have, there is much joy to be had. Using the shower example from last month’s discussion, mindfulness helped place us in the present moment so we could enjoy the shower. A natural extension of that is gratitude. Gratitude is the highest of vibrations, instantly uplifting you as it displaces all forms of lower energies. You cannot be angry, depressed, or unhappy when your heart is filled with gratitude. There is an unlimited supply of things to be grateful for. The chair you are sitting in as you read this article, the light you are reading by, the people who distributed this magazine, those who printed it, the advertisers who pay for it, the writers, and Howard and Penny, the publishers of Body Mind Spirit Guide. Focus on it. Feel all it took to bring this magazine to you. Give thanks and see how your heart opens to love of all things. From this state of being, try and be unhappy. You can’t! The vibration of gratitude won’t permit it. 2. Meditation. One key reason that most people are unhappy is they allow their mind to focus on limiting, negative, worrisome thoughts. Most thoughts are of lack and what we don’t want. I wish I didn’t have to work so hard. I wish I had more money. Why does my back always hurt? If only she would ______ (fill in the blank), then I would be happy. A mind is a powerful tool but you have to get out of your mind if you want to be happy. Meditation gets you out of your mind. It calms the mind 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

body, increases Alpha and Theta brainwave activity promoting deep relaxation and stress reduction. As you get more proficient, the silence and stillness of deep meditation bring a sense of peace and inner joy that soon become your natural state of being. 3. Breathwork. Many people have tried meditating but gave it up because the mind seemed to become more cluttered with thoughts. Breathwork is a marvelous way to clear the mind of clutter, allowing for more effective and deeper meditation. Pat and I frequently do breathwork prior to meditating even if for only a few minutes. Breathwork also has the added benefit of transforming lower, negative energies into higher, more positive energies. The result can be so profound that tears of joy spontaneously erupt. Both Pat and I have experienced this in our own work and when facilitating others. There is one other aspect of happiness that is the greatest, most effective of all. I have already given you hints within these last two articles so stay tuned to next month to find out what it is. In the meantime, make the choice for happiness. Try some of the suggestions and let me know how they worked by posting a comment on our blog at www.ascensionbreathing.com. Plan to join us for our upcoming workshop on Happiness Rising in early 2019. Call us at 734-416-5200 to reserve your space. Happy Autumn, Dave (& Pat) Krajovic

You May Be More Powerful Than You Realize
and were now able to do things they could not do before the “surgery.” One other amazing study worked with people who suffered from depression. These individuals were given placebos and told they were taking antidepressants. Of these people, 93% improved and did as well as those who took the actual anti-depressant medicine.
By Phillip Rosenbaum
Do you realize how powerful your mind is? In his book, You Are the Placebo, Dr. Joe Dispenza cites some amazing examples of what people are capable of doing. Dr. Dispenza tells about an American surgeon, Henry Beecher, who operated on badly wounded soldiers. At one point he ran out of morphine and his nurse filled a syringe with saline solution and gave it to the soldier. The soldier believed it was morphine and reacted as though it actually was morphine. He underwent the surgery with little pain and did not have any shock. Following this, saline solution was successfully used many times when the doctors ran out of morphine with similar results. Another interesting case involved a man who had advanced lymphoma, cancer of the lymph glands. He had huge tumors, some as big as an orange. His cancer was not responding to conventional treatment, and the man became aware of an experimental drug. He persuaded the doctor to give it to him, and within a few days, the patient was like a new man. His tumors had shrunk to half their size. Two months later the man read that the drug was completely ineffective. The man’s cancer and tumors returned. When the man concluded that the drug was worthless, he gave up hope and died shortly thereafter. There was a story about men who imagined lifting weights for 20 minutes a day for three weeks. The muscles of these men were measured before and after the three weeks, and it was found that their muscles actually got larger, just from imagining lifting the weights. Another study of interest involved men who suffered from osteoarthritis. An orthopedic surgeon, Bruce Mosely, wanted to compare two procedures to see which was more effective for this problem. The doctor had 10 volunteers and divided them into three groups. The doctor used a procedure called “lavage” on three of the men; he used the conventional method called “debridement” on two of the men; he did “sham surgery” on the other five men.
According to Dr. Dispenza, what is happening is that these people believe they are getting the actual substance or treatment, and they begin to program their autonomic nervous system to make their own pharmacy of chemicals which match the exact same chemicals they think they are taking. In other words, our bodies can create the same substances that we are getting at the pharmacy. This is how powerful our minds and bodies are. Of course, it is not easy to do this on a conscious level, but our subconscious knows how to do this. Dr. Dispenza mentions different types of meditations people can do to accomplish these amazing feats. But there is another way to achieve this and it is with the use of hypnosis. It is now accepted that the conscious mind is only 5% of who we are, and the remaining 95% is subconscious. You must get into the subconscious mind if you want new thoughts and new outcomes. This is exactly what hypnosis does. Hypnosis deals with the subconscious mind, and thus, can better help you make the changes you desire to make. A qualified hypnotherapist can help you get your conscious mind and subconscious mind in agreement with each other, and this is when real change occurs. If you would like to find out more about hypnosis or would like to experience a few sessions, please call Phillip Rosenbaum at 248-688-6469. This could truly change your life.

All he did was make an incision and then stitch them up. No medical procedure was performed. To his amazement, all three groups improved about the same amount. The doctor interviewed two of the men who had the “sham surgery” several years later and they reported feeling much better than before the surgery. They felt as though they had regained their lives,

an effort to transfer the energy of compassion. Through such a technique one develops compassion in one’s self.
The Silver Thread: Buddhism in Bhutan By Dr. Michael Abramsky
As with all Buddhist practices, there is an overarching need to always focus the mind. Consequently, even the physical accouterments -- prayer flags, prayer wheels, various symbols -- are all vehicles to focus the mind and channel it into the qualities of compassion, love, and gratitude.
I am in the process of traveling to Bhutan. I began researching their particular form of Buddhism. Bhutan became Buddhist in 600 AD, one-thousand years after their neighbors in the south. As such, their native traditions and customs survived more intact than their southern neighbors. However, like the Buddhism of Southeast Asian, all activities from festival dances, to government actions to art, serves the singular purpose of encapsulating and the promulgation of the basic Buddhist principles of personal enlightenment (nirvana), and transformation. The original “religion” of Bhutan is Bon. Like many beliefs of the old world, Bon sees the world as populated by deities. Every locality, mountain, lake, river, every tree grove, is protected by deities who must be satisfied in order to protect the order. Most people have personal deities, and each day they honor them by giving offerings. In the modern world, gifts are given through Buddhist monks who go from home to home, in exchange for blessings.
As with most Eastern religions, Bhutanese Buddhism is a lifestyle. It pervades all aspects of art, culture and daily life. Michael Abramsky is a licensed psychologist with 35 years of experience treating adolescents and adults for anxiety, depression, and trauma. He is nationally Board Certified in both Clinical and Forensic psychology.. has an MA in Comparative Religions, and has practiced and taught Buddhist Meditation for 25 years. You may call him at: 248-644-7398
The unique blend of folk traditions and Buddhism gave rise to a new school of Buddhism. Originally the Theravada tradition dominated Buddhism. It preached liberation but demanded the traditional life of a monk in order to achieve this goal. The second school, Mahayana, focused on the concept of a bodhisattva, or a Buddha in training, who forgoes such enlightenment in order to aid others in their journey to enlightenment. In 600 AD, a new school, Vajtayanna, emerged. Aside from traditional Buddhist teachings, Vajrayana promulgated Tantra, or a specific set of esoteric teachings. Tantra advocates a different sort of meditative experience. Meditation, as taught in the west, largely focuses on emptying, or clearing the mind of thoughts, feelings, and sensations. In contrast, Tantric meditation tries to create a spiritual evolution through imagistic meditation. For example, the ‘Green Tara’ is a goddess of compassion. A Tantric technique would be to meditate on the image of the Green Tara, to draw an imagistic line between you and her, in November 2018

Time Travelers
involved in the current relationship. This makes life complicated and the new love may not want to be involved with an affair situation and walks from the possibilities of pursuing the relationship.
By Wendy Powers Nugent
As a psychic, I time travel with every reading, projecting into the future, revisiting the past and looking into the present with great clarity. Unfortunately, time travel with a time machine has not been invented yet… or has it! I often say that if it will happen, it has already happened. How would we know if the present is different, or if someone went back into our past and changed something? Well, you would never know as the new present is part of current awareness and the past is in your memory with the new life path created by going into the past and making changes. Dizzying isn’t it! You cannot live in the past as many of us try to do…living with do-overs in our mind hoping for a different outcome only to look around and see our history is still the same! Have you ever stopped yourself from making important decisions for your future, fearful of making a mistake and worried that with making a decision it could possibly grow your regret list? Rest assure you do have control of your future, even though you will still come up against tough decisions and difficult life-changing events. You can get a look at your future through your psychic’s time portal and see into the future as it stands, letting you make better decisions. If you have insight into what is to come, you can change some things going into your future. You cannot change your past, no matter how hard you try. Simply knowing your future path will help you change things. For example, your psychic tells you that your business will not do well if you take on a partner. Or, that the relationship you are in is the one, but you are too afraid to trust in it. Knowing the future will help you to relax and make better decisions and avoid regretful situations. Yes, this means you can change your future to a large degree. Sometimes November 2018
people go see a psychic -- they looked into your future, but things did not unfold the way the psychic said it would. What happened? Well, you were told that your business would fail to take on the new business partner, so you did not partner up and therefore avoided failure of a business. I think you get the idea. I tell my clients it is like casting a bright light on your life path to help you avoid the bumps and falls moving into your future. Are situations and events fixed, and will happen no matter what you want or hope for, as you have a destiny to fulfill? Part of your life path may have built into it some hard knocks and bumps along the way. Remember that we are on Earth to experience life, and it is not always pleasant. At times, it’s not even tolerable, especially when we lose a loved one. Even predicting a good outcome can cause some delay and or push back; not because you don’t like what is predicated, but due to becoming lazy and thinking it will happen, so I will not try to help it along. For example, you are involved with someone and you are afraid to change the relationship even though it is not a good one. Your psychic said a new person will come into your life once you leave your current relationship. You find yourself fearful and do not make the changes, and the new love does not come into your life --or worse, comes into your life while you are still

Was the psychic’s future prediction the problem? I hope you understand that you have some responsibility to listen to not only your psychic’s insights but to your own intuition as well. Yes, you can time travel into your future by listing to your intuition; just having someone verify your insights into your future helps you trust in your future decisions. Timing is the hardest for any intuitive to predict, as you find that knowing your future can change decisions for the good, hopefully avoiding difficulties that lay ahead.

The Attitude is Gratitude By Miche Lame’ We have heard that the only moment we have is, now. Even quantum physics is picking-up on and proving this -that time is an illusion. When we realize that at this moment we have everything we truly need and that within this moment we are everything, we can allow ourselves to feel the deep gratitude that comes with this realization -- gratitude that the universe always has our back. Have you ever had a time when you felt that everything was going wrong, only to realize after self-reflection that you ended up better than you could’ve imagined? Did you allow yourself to feel grateful then? How about choosing to practice feeling gratitude every moment, as every moment is a gift from the Creator?

We all want to be our best selves and have loving and peaceful lives. Where do you think that starts? It starts with gratitude which leads to love and peace. Although most of us are seeking love and peace, most of us continue to seek it from outside of ourselves and never find it. We are still trying to find love and peace with a romantic interest to fulfill us, neglecting to feel gratitude and love with ourselves and the one we’re with -- if we’re with someone who chooses to be with us. We are still trying to control, predict and keep ourselves separate from our True Self and the feelings of gratitude that happen when we integrate the love and joy we really are. We continue to

feed the feelings of separateness, fear, unlovableness, and disconnection that we use as defenses against the limited beliefs of the ego. The world we experience is the result of the lack of gratitude and connection with our True Self. We keep feeding the old limited beliefs that are not working and that started developing from a very young perspective. To experience the world differently, we have to choose to perceive the world differently and that starts with developing gratitude. It begins with our willingness to be open to looking at our belief systems and change them, to let go of the past and build upon our being in the moment of now. It means being open to feeling and thinking in a positive manner by connecting with positive emotions like gratitude, love, peace, and joy, and to dissipate the fear born of the ego and the subconscious mind. There are many pathways that lead to self-actualization and inner peace. One of them is the path of gratitude. The giving, practicing, and perceiving of gratitude towards oneself and others is very powerful. It is one of the foundations of prayer. Those of us who wonder why we seem to create lives of lack and loneliness can look to practicing gratitude as a path of transformation and growth for self-actualization and inner peace. If you are determined to change your life and your perceptions of it, and would like to create the life you desire and are interested in a guide, just contact me through the information below and let’s start this path together.

Turning Stress into Gratitude with the Practice of Mindfulness By Melissa Zaineb
The leaves had changed from vibrant green to a deep gold and were falling all around me as I briskly pushed my baby’s stroller through my new neighborhood. My mission -- to burn off a few calories from the cookies my teens had baked, and to de-stress after my 4-year-old son’s sugar-induced tantrum. There was a chill in the air that reminded me that our Michigan winter was not too far off. My sleepy baby nodded off, her precious cheeks bouncing slightly with each bump we strolled over. I drifted into thought as I often do. I hoped that moving to a new neighborhood after my divorce was the right decision for the kids. Will they be happy here? Is everyone okay? Am I okay? I began to think of the approaching holidays, and how they will be different. I asked myself the question that every single mother asks herself from time to time, “Am I enough?” I quickened my pace as I continued this unnecessary line of questioning for a few moments. I snapped out of it when I realized I was not being a friend to myself but quite the opposite -- a bully. I apologized to myself and remembered to follow my own advice as a Reiki Master -- be mindful. I left the negative conversation my anxiety was having with me. I took a deep cleansing breath in and with my exhale I imagined all of my unnecessary worries following my breath, floating farther and farther away until they dissolved into nothing. I focused only on the beauty that was all around me right at that moment. I breathed in the crisp autumn air and noticed the scent of pine. I focused on how my sweater felt soft on my skin, then on how I loved the sound of the leaves crunching beneath my feet as I walked. I scanned my body and still felt the remnants of anxiety in my heart. I imagined I was breathing in God’s healing energy and it was directed straight to my heart chakra. As I exhaled, I imagined the anxiety crumbling away like sand and leaving my body. I then felt lighter. The clouds parted and I turned my face upward. I tuned-in to how wonderful the warmth of the sun felt. Baby Taia awoke and the sun forced her to make a funny squinted face with a scrunched-up nose which made me smile. We came up the walkway of the new house and opened the still unfamiliar door. The warmth of the indoors together with the delicious smell of cookies again made me smile. My oldest, Maya, was comfortably curled up on the couch in the family room reading as her brothers sat peacefully at the kitchen table drawing together. My heart grew with gratitude.

(The following message was conveyed to me through automatic writing several years ago. Its message is a timeless reminder of the importance of living in a state of gratitude. Special thanks to my guides for this moving message. Enjoy.) Did you ever wonder what inspires a flower to open when kissed by the sun? Look around you at all of life’s wonders and miracles and keep life in perspective. Our thoughts are our own, and nobody else’s, and they are incredibly powerful to us and everyone whose lives we touch, every day. If we train our thoughts to gravitate toward the amazing and beautiful things around us, instead of the trivial and mundane things of this world, we can literally change the direction of not only our lives but the lives of others. Take time right now to stop and look around at the wonders of this plane. Allow them to flood your thoughts with joy and amazement. Thank the Universe for the beauty that surrounds you. Stop trivializing your existence by wasting precious time and brainpower on things that are of this world, and raise your thoughts to those of life everlasting. Live in gratitude. Those who do will receive gifts of joy, happiness and eternal love in their hearts. It’s all there in front of you. Become a child again and see everything around you as if for the first time. Allow yourself to not have everything all figured out and roll with the tides that life presents to you. We don’t fear the ride on a roller coaster because we are certain that with each unknown turn and drop we’ll make it through to the end. Experience life with the same fearless nature, knowing that you are always being watched over, guided and protected with every move you make. Offer praise for the many blessings that you have and you will be showered with an even greater abundance of blessings. Namaste’, Susan Susan deCaussin CHt, Healing Methods LLC.

Animal totems can change in our life when we need help in certain areas. I first had a fox totem who helped me with adapting and then I got a squirrel totem to assist with preparation. Working with animal guides can be fun and exciting. To find your personal animal guide try the following exercise. Close your eyes and let your imagination take you to a place in nature. It may be a forest or a mountain or even an ocean or river. Breathe in the essence of that place and ask for your totem to appear. Notice the

10 Ways to Become More Grateful Robert Emmons offers everyday tips for living a life of gratitude. 1. Keep a Gratitude Journal. Establish a daily practice in which you remind yourself of the gifts, grace, benefits, and good things you enjoy. Setting aside time on a daily basis to recall moments of gratitude associated with ordinary events, your personal attributes, or valued people in your life gives you the potential to interweave a sustainable life theme of gratefulness. 2. Remember the Bad. To be grateful in your current state, it is helpful to remember the hard times that you once experienced. When you remember how difficult life used to be and how far you have come, you set up an explicit contrast in your mind, and this contrast is fertile ground for gratefulness. 3. Ask Yourself Three Questions. Utilize the meditation technique known as Naikan, which involves reflecting on three questions: “What have I received from __?”, “What have I given to __?”, and “What troubles and difficulty have I caused?”
7. Make a Vow to Practice Gratitude. Research shows that making an oath to perform a behavior increases the likelihood that the action will be executed. Therefore, write your own gratitude vow, which could be as simple as “I vow to count my blessings each day,” and post it somewhere where you will be reminded of it every day. 8. Watch your Language. Grateful people have a particular linguistic style that uses the language of gifts, givers, blessings, blessed, fortune, fortunate, and abundance. In gratitude, you should not focus on how inherently good you are, but rather on the inherently good things that others have done on your behalf. 9. Go Through the Motions. If you go through grateful motions, the emotion of gratitude should be triggered. Grateful motions include smiling, saying thank you, and writing letters of gratitude.
4. Learn Prayers of Gratitude. In many spiritual traditions, prayers of gratitude are considered to be the most powerful form of prayer, because through these prayers people recognize the ultimate source of all they are and all they will ever be. 5. Come to Your Senses. Through our senses—the ability to touch, see, smell, taste, and hear—we gain an appreciation of what it means to be human and of what an incredible miracle it is to be alive. Seen through the lens of gratitude, the human body is not only a miraculous construction, but also a gift.
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
6. Use Visual Reminders. Because the two primary obstacles to gratefulness are forgetfulness and a lack of mindful awareness, visual reminders can serve as cues to trigger thoughts of gratitude. Often times, the best visual reminders are other people.
10. Think Outside the Box. If you want to make the most out of opportunities to flex your gratitude muscles, you must creatively look for new situations and circumstances in which to feel grateful. Robert A. Emmons, Ph.D., is the world’s leading scientific expert on gratitude. He is a professor of psychology at the University of California, Davis, and the founding editor-inchief of The Journal of Positive Psychology. He is the author of the books Gratitude Works!: A 21-Day Program for Creating Emotional Prosperity and Thanks! How the New Science of Gratitude Can Make You Happier. Article source: www.greatergood.

Using Crystals to Cleanse Your Space
Unity of Livonia Hosts Josh White, Jr. Benefit Christmas Concert
By Jennifer Vanderwal
We pick up a lot of energies that may not be harmonious with our vibration. It’s important to have a clear space so these energies don’t stay inside our home. They can be other people’s emotions, anger, sadness, thoughts or entities. We need to consciously clear ourselves and auras so that this energy isn’t bouncing around, causing us to feel it repeatedly.
Josh White Jr., folk/blues, pop, jazz vocalist, guitarist, songwriter, actor, and recording artist will perform his “White Christmas” concert at Unity of Livonia on Friday, November 30, 2018, at 8:00 PM. Half of the proceeds will benefit Unity of Livonia Spiritual Center.
Crystals can be a great benefit because of their piezoelectric qualities, with the pressure of gravity activating them. You can clear a room by placing clusters in the center of a room. Smaller clusters or crystals can be used in windows. A cluster is many single terminated crystals attached to a base. Each crystal transmits a lot of cleansing white light simultaneously. Citrine is one of the best clusters to use as it never needs to be cleansed, and it transmutes, absorbs, grounds and dissipates all energies to gold light. It fills a room with happiness, warmth, and creativity. Quartz crystal is another great cluster, as it naturally floods, absorbs, stores regulate and releases everything with pure white light. It also brings about clarity, focus, and is a powerful energy transmitter. Amethyst clears all lower vibrational energies saturating them with peace, love and higher spiritual wisdom. Protective smokey quartz grounds and clears lower vibrational energy. Selenite also emits a radiant clearing white light. Any stones used in conjunction with selenite are amplified and transmitted enough to fill a room. Crystals can be programmed to transmit your intention. If you want a room to have a clear clean white light energy, you can use five quartz crystal points. To program the crystals to hold all of them at your heart chakra and imagine the house being cleaned, overflowing with white light. Visualize the white light filling and flooding your entire house or room as if it were being flooded with white water. Hold this image for 10- 15 minutes and the crystals are programmed with your intention. Now place one crystal in each corner of a room, home or space with the apex pointing upward. Use the last crystal to connect with the others. Start with one corner, trace around the bottom of the wall to the next corner and that crystal. Continue doing this until all of the crystals have been connected; this creates a box of white gold light clearing the entire room. The crystals should be charged daily. Another way you can use crystals to clear and cleanse a room or fill it with a specific energy is to program your stones of choice with your intention, then place all of the stones in a bowl and place it in the center of the room. Enjoy! Jennifer Vanderwal, a Melody Crystal Healing Instructor/Facilitator since 2004, is a master of the Usui Tibetan Karuna Seiryoko system of Reiki. She offers readings, mediumship, spiritual counseling, EFT, teaches crystal healing classes and offers various crystal healing techniques at Bodyworks Healing Center, Journey to Health Chakra, Crystal Treasures and more.

Clairsentience – The Gift of Psychic Sensing
Given that they have a strong ability to connect with individuals on a spiritual level, their first impressions of strangers are usually correct. Clairsentience can be triggered through a tingling sensation near the top of the head (the crown Chakra).
By Nancy Lynn
I would like to bid all of the Body Mind Spirit readers a happy Autumn! During this season may we be able to continue to collect a bountiful harvest as well as continue to grow our knowledge and delve deeper into our spiritual journeys. Every year we are aware of the change occurring around us, not just by what Mother Nature is showing us with the beauty of the autumn leaves and chilly breezes, but a feeling in our beings of the change occurring all around, a knowing that the energy is shifting. For this month, we are going to venture into where that awareness is coming from, Clairsentience, the gift of psychic sense. This complex and intriguing concept is not to be confused with Claircognizance (often referred to as Clear knowing). Clairsentience is “clear sensing” a strong physical feeling, an ability to sense the emotions of people, animals, spirits and places around you, picking up the sense from the past, present or future within your body and heart. This ability is considered to be one of the more underrated gifts of the clairs. The psychic gift of Clairsentience is an extra-sensory ability that is probably the most common since it is a clair sense shared by most psychics, mediums, healers and highly sensitive people. The medium senses subjective experiences about an object, event or person which triggers information or a sense within the person. This is not a thinking or reasoning experience, it is a sense or feeling. Individuals who may take on this feeling in their crown chakra will internalize the feeling and it will radiate within the physical vessel. Imagine stepping outside on a humid day. You cannot see humidity with your eyes but you are aware of its presence, and for some, they feel the weight of the humidity on their skin, when they breathe. When a medium possesses this ability they feel energy in the same way one might feel when they physically touch something. This sometimes is referred to as a person’s “gut feeling” but it is more than this. It is not merely intuition or a hunch. Clairsentience is not when your grandma says her shoulder is sore and rain is coming. Developed Clairsentience is having an awareness of your physical surroundings; those who use this clair are often uncomfortable in large crowds as they are overwhelmed by the emotions and energy of others. 28
Some common things that happen to individuals who are Clairsentient, is that they are sometimes unable to distinguish whether or not the energy or emotions they are picking up on are their own. For example, if a Clairsentient is picking up a feeling of deep sadness or anxiety this may resonate a great deal inside of the individual making it necessary to learn how to cleanse their chakras and be able to disconnect when needed. These people are conduits that truly may have the ability to, so to speak, “walk a mile in someone else’s shoes”. Signs of Clairsentient abilities are: 1. You are drained after being around a large group of people 2. You sense the energy when you have entered the room 3. You always know when your friend or loved one has had a bad day or is not feeling well (even if they do not show it or tell you) 4. You can feel your friend or families emotions as if it had happened to you 5. You feel emotional when there is no apparent reason to feel bad (not your own) and seemingly without cause 6. You are super sensitive to changes in your environment 7. You physically feel other peoples’ pain (physical and emotional) 8. You have strong gut feelings about things, people or events 9. You cannot walk into a thrift store, or sometimes go to estates sales If the things stated above occur and seem to unite with your personal experiences, welcome to the world of Clairsentience.

Her mission is to help people reconnect to their own spiritual insight and to their own unique gifts.

Soulful Gratitude
Interfaith Understanding and Appreciation
By Billie Tobin
By J. T. Ramelis
The human consciousness subconsciously shifts from one mental state to another. Therefore, it is important not to attach to anyone thought. When you maintain a connection long enough with a thought, it begins to gain momentum. From this momentum, it can take form in your energy field, creating your reality. When you consciously create from a state of gratitude your attitude changes, and you enjoy life through more abundance, appreciation, and health. I use the alphabet sequence E, F, G to help me remember that the “Essence of the soul is Forgiving, which gives rise to Gratefulness.”
I was inspired by the Dalai Lama’s works, “Toward a True Kinship of Faiths, How the World’s Religions Can Come Together”, and “Ethics for the New Millennium”, to work for interfaith appreciation and understanding. Our world is fractionalized, angry, and splintered. One of the things we fight about is religion. Of all of humankind’s attributes that should be the most healing and helpful in making peace, it should be religion. Yet, it is part of the problem. Amazingly, what the great religions of the world do have in common are similar spiritualities, often hidden within the religion itself. It’s not the rules, regulations, dogmas and cultural differences of each religion, but rather each religion’s similar spiritual approach to everyday living and how people should conduct themselves in the world that offers hope for peace and healing.
How can you emotionally embrace the feeling of gratitude when you feel you are surrounded by ‘nothing’ to be grateful for? By connecting with your soul essence. It is human nature to hold on to hurt and pain. By doing so, you hinder the bond with your soul. When you ignore the gentle nudging from your soul, you give your power away to others. This makes the soul’s voice softer until it is no longer audible. Without this internal guidance, you are not connected to the feeling of gratitude.
The spiritual approach of all the world’s great religions to such topics as compassion, peace, social justice, war, salvation, enlightenment, and social relationships, are often congruent. The perennial questions of life appear again and again in each civilization and from age to age, and our spiritual natures try to answer those questions.
Many books refer to the heart as being the seat of the soul. It is through the heart that you resonate with others, love, and forgive. However, the heart can be hardened by traumatic life experiences. This blocks the connection with your soul making it challenging to be grateful. There are various ways to begin cultivating gratefulness in your senses, such as spiritual intuitive readings, intuitive life coaching, meditation, reflection, and more. Read books, get a coach, or take classes to help you nurture gratefulness in your soul essence.
Rabbi Rami Shapiro, the author of, “The World Wisdom Bible”, one of my ‘go to’ sources on interfaith, says that religions are like languages. They express a similar concept, in different languages. If we are to understand each other, we must start to speak a similar language we can understand. Spirituality is the common language we have to learn if we are to make peace because we share it with all humanity.
My wish for you is that your Thanksgiving holiday is filled with forgiveness, gratefulness, abundance, and health. Namaste’ Billie Billie Tobin, Psychic, Intuitive Life Coach, and Vibrational Healing Practitioner. Call: 248-7891980 or visit www.psychicbillie.com

This is not an attempt to make a one-world religion. It is an attempt at understanding a vital part of humanity, its spirituality, and using it for peace and understanding.

Ripples in the Ocean
charity.
By Gwendolyn Esco Davis “You can either see yourself as a wave in the ocean, or you can see yourself as the ocean.” Oprah Winfrey It only takes one person to change the course of history; it only takes one person to change the future of a community; it only takes one person to change the minds of many; it only takes one person to change the outcome of a disaster. No matter how rough the terrains, how challenging the competition or who the competition may be -- no matter how challenging the circumstances, if you believe in yourself and have faith that it can be done (no matter what it may be), you can achieve your most desired way of life and the lives you touch. It all depends on the depths of your principle of truth and integrity. I will share a story that Sarah Ban Breathnach refers to in “Something More,” the story of the Queen of Sheba. As the story goes: Solomon had 300 wives and 700 concubines. However, there was only one woman at whose feet he laid, the Queen of Sheba. Moreover, she was neither one nor the other, for she was the King’s match. So fittingly, he gave her everything she asked of him and much, much, more. She, in turn, gave herself to him. Moreover, their rapture knew no bounds and their love for each other never betrayed them. [King Solomon, whom the ancients considered the wisest person in the world, and one person, the Queen of Sheba, who knew better]. Before Helen of Troy, before Cleopatra, before Catherine the Great, there was Sheba – history’s first recorded woman with a past. These women did not let their past limit their reach -- limits that others may have placed on them. They used their histories to strengthen and gain knowledge to reach deeper inwardly, to be that one person to ascend and follow their own north star. In the September 2018 issue of Body Mind Spirit Guide, my article was on, Giving Freely. The power of one, one person can change the minds and hearts of others. You, one person, can move mountains if only your commitment flows deep. There are millions of examples. Think of a person or persons who by their actions and deeds have changed entire counties, transformed whole communities, and improved an individual’s livelihood. Perhaps it was changing the laws of a nation -- laws of a voting right for all to be equal -- women’s rights -- civil rights -- the way we communicate -- social media, internet -- cutting the lawn of an elderly neighbor, or volunteering at a favorite 30
One person with a commitment to enhance your life and the lives of fellow humans; it does not matter if it’s a big act, or very small – know it’s all impactful – universal balance. You need not hold university degrees or have approval from someone else. All you need is conviction and faith that will carry you through. Be that one someone to make a positive change in our society, and it will change your life. If your gut is telling you to go for it – then what are you waiting for? If you don’t have any idea of how you can contribute to making an impact, here is an idea; at the end of your day, for the next 30 days or so, write in a journal at least one idea of what you could do. No matter how outlandish it is for you, write it down. Be open-minded to new and broader ideas. At the end of the 30 plus days, go over each entry. When you come across an idea that feels plausible even if there may be some bearers, work through them and get started. It’s your choice, as Oprah Winfrey noted, “You can either see yourself as a wave in the ocean or, you can see yourself as the ocean.” Whatever you choose, choose it and begin your ripple in the ocean.

Anchoring the Higher Light Within
Finding Your Purpose Through Passion
Hello, my friends,
By Faith Brower
Are you unaware of your purpose? Do you wish to feel more passion for serving your purpose? How can we find our purpose through passion or become more passionate about living our purpose? I suggest you ask yourself what you are grateful for. Write a thank you letter to yourself or the Universe or your spouse or parent – whomever you want – who would let you connect your heart with gratitude. You don’t need to send it to them. This is simply an exercise for your own awareness. My son is struggling with what he wants to do in life. He is 21 years old and does not know what he is passionate about. He has no major in college and lacks a direction for his life. He feels unaware and hopeLESS. I have an old letter from him from when he was in grade school. He thanks me for Christmas presents, letting him spend time with his friends, playing video games and being on his computer. He says he loves me “so much” and thanks me for “being such a great mom”. This does not sound unaware or hopeless to me. He knows what he likes and who he enjoys hanging out with. This is a gratitude letter. Answers are found about our passions by how we spend our time, and with whom. What brings us joy and what we talk about with praise and excitement informs us about our passions. All of us need to pay attention to our words, feelings, and thoughts. In them lies our answers. Our purpose is to enjoy life, to praise, and to feel gratitude. What we are passionate about is what we are praising! Through our praise, we find our passion, and thus our purpose. There is no UN… or …Less in gratitude, praise, and passion. Following our purpose lights-up the world and raises vibrations. Start that gratitude letter TODAY!

It’s very exciting to hear your growth so please make sure to share your experience with me and others. This month we will focus on anchoring higher light within ourselves and sending it to the world and beyond. Also focus on energy gateway 11111. We can continue with similar process that we have with a new focus. We will work inward so focus inward like we have in earlier exercises on the flame at the base of our heart chakras. As we did in those exercises, let’s begin with expanding that flame outward until it fills the room. Lean forward slightly with your head, place your tongue to the roof of your mouth and take three deep breathes. State to the universe that you accept the highest energy that you are ready for in this moment and focus entirely on anchoring that energy into your core. Focus on the warmth within your heart and expansion. now focus on the back of the heart chakra opening up and blasting a flame outward and let your system connect. . Start with this chant, Aamuuwaanay Now meditate for 11 minute, set a timer. begin again with this chant, Ghuuvjhaauno Now meditate again for 11 minutes. Don’t worry about a perfect pronunciation just feel the sounds of each letter. Begin again with this chant, Krayeestmuuughayrt Now meditate again for 11 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. Let your self feel the expansion and connection. As always, it is very important to read and share this as much

Harmonize the Frequencies:
It’s a Matter of Consciousness
By William Helton
By Carolyn Simon
As I watch and listen to the negative events happening globally, I have heard many people asking these questions: Why is this happening? What is going on? Why are people doing these things? What are we, as a people, becoming? I am reminded of a small booklet entitled, “Life Is Consciousness”, by Emmet Fox. In this booklet, he explains what consciousness is and how it affects our personal, as well as our societal lives.
My curiosity for disharmony in the BODY leads me down so many paths ONLY to meet at the origin of e m o t i o n. Here it seems that emotions play the architect behind the physical manifestation of acute to chronic discomfort in the BODY. The three levels: Spirit Mind Body carefully construct a synchronized well-played symphony to act out all expressions/lessons. From thought to manifestation. ONE is the other. For a single frequency can not separate only expand into neighboring dimensions. Light density ( thought ) to condensed energy ( matter ), whereby the Soul ( consciousness) provides animated power to both influential bodies of the ONE singularity. Begin to think outside of flesh. By doing so ONE may begin to innerstand the complexity of how this virtual matrix is played and preyed, upon. Have fun and do not get all caught up in your emotions. They can be the fire starters that either can HEAL or HURT. Always my Best!

needs improving. Now, ask yourself this: What is my belief system around this situation? Whatever you are believing about the situation is what is outwardly impacting your life and will continue to do so until a new and improved belief system is established and becomes your new consciousness.
Usually, when the word consciousness is used, we think of being aware of something. Aware of some person, place, or thing. But I would like for you to consider another definition relating to the word, consciousness. What if, just what if, consciousness was defined as: the sum total of your thoughts and feelings; your belief system pertaining to any area of your life, your likes and dislikes and the rationale behind each, and your actions and reactions to various life experiences? The totality of who you think yourself to be -- your beingness. How would that definition impact your decisions, your choices and the way you live your life? Emmet Fox causes us to reflect on the conditions presenting themselves in our lives and universally. He tells us that, “Life is a state of consciousness.” Just what does that mean? Well, let’s take a moment and look at the word, state, not pertaining to government or municipality but to a condition or position of the mind. So, if life is a condition or position (state) in the mind, it can be said in the simplest terms, it is a mindset or a personal belief system and from that mindset, you will make decisions, respond to life’s challenges, and design your life.
So, back to the questions at the beginning of this article: Why is this happening? What is going on? Why are people doing these things? What are we, as a people, becoming? Well, my answer to these questions is this, It’s a Matter of Consciousness and we as a people will become what we are in consciousness, and consciousness can be changed. At times, forming new and improved behaviors, habits and thinking can be difficult. That’s where clinical hypnosis may be helpful. If you have tried other methods for change to no avail, then clinical hypnosis could be your answer. Call me and let’s start the journey of a new and improved YOU!

Intent: In the workplace, daily living, and beyond!
day grind may feel somewhat lighter and more rewarding. You’ll begin to notice the subtle nuances like a man’s smile after his drink is poured, or the ease of everyone leaving on time at the end of a long shift that makes the quality of your day feel more gratifying.
By Jessica York
What was your workday like? If you reflect upon your workday, do you find yourself relating to words like monotony, daydreaming, or impatience? Do you sometimes feel like a cog in the machine, just going, going, and going, until one day you break? Having been in the bodywork business for over 12 years, even I start zoning out around 3:00, thinking about what I’m making for dinner and how my evening commute is going to go. The moments that I snap out of it are what lead me back to my original purpose/intent. More specifically, working with intent. Just like a dance without emotion or cooking without that little bit of love, working without intent will leave you desiring more in your day-to-day life and will separate you from the people that are consciously working with a purpose. Have you ever gone to a restaurant and had the most entertaining, social waitress that just made your night? How did you feel? And have you ever gone out to a restaurant and almost felt like you were being a burden on your waitress? How did that make you feel? If you’re in the service industry, your clients can tell if you’re just going through the motions and not giving them that personalized attention they crave and deserve. This ripple effect may cause them to go elsewhere, affecting not only your reputation but your income as well. No matter what field you’re in, putting intent in your communications, performance, and organization will not only eliminate some drudgery from your 9-5 but will also improve your selfesteem and create a different energetic vibration around you. You know -- that November 2018
one coworker who’s always brimming with ideas, making others smile, the guy that everyone knows they can count on? That person might HATE their job, but they still put intention behind what they do and how they do it. Who knows? This kind of thinking might propel them right into their dream job. Here are some suggestions for reconnecting with your intent. When you start going back into robot mode or having a case of the Mondays, fall back to your answers for some of these questions: -Is my job taking care of my financial needs? What would happen if I didn’t have this job? -In terms of performance, how would I evaluate myself? Where are areas I know I could improve? -At the end of the day, am I proud of my work ethic, my effort, and my overall performance? -Is there anything I could do right now to improve my clients/patients experience? -Because I value the fact that another person is spending money on my services, do I feel that I’m offering quality work? -Do I ever feel guilty during or after work? If so, why? -What was the original reason I went into this line of work? Do I still get some satisfaction or joy from it? Putting intention behind your efforts will elevate you to a higher level of being. Your performance will show it, your coworkers will notice it, and your day-to-
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
That little bit of extra effort on your part may give your client the relief they need after a hard week, or take the pressure off a manager whose job may be on the line. Your actions may feel minuscule in your mind, but the power they generate is limitless. So, the next time you catch yourself dreaming about pizza and TV binge-watching, reconnect to the present moment. What you do right then and there truly matters.

5 Easy Ways to Show Your Gratitude By Tatiana Scavnicky
Gratitude and appreciation could very well be two of the most powerful forces we have. If you think about it, we are showered with blessings daily. Here are five easy ways to cultivate the magic of gratitude. Write a handwritten letter of appreciation. A heartfelt letter goes a long way. Those kinds of cards get tucked away for safekeeping, to be found on a random day, doing their magic yet again. They’ll be thankful for your kind words, and you might make a difference for someone going through a very difficult time. Leave love notes. Get some pretty paper from the craft store or some heart-shaped sticky notes. With a special magic marker, write things like, “You are special!”, “I Believe in You”, “You are loved”, “There’s no one quite like You!” Leave them in random places such as on a bookstore shelf, or a coffee shop table. Place them in a car window or a mailbox during your early morning walk. Leave a big tip. There are those special people we run into who make a lasting impression -- the friendly waiter or barista who knows your name and gives you your coffee with a genuine smile. Your gift could go a long way this time of year. Buy lunch. Bring back a meal for a co-worker who’s having a hard time at home, or for that workmate who makes the day fun. Get donuts for the crew. Create a gratitude jar. Write one thing every day that you are grateful for and put it in a special container. Get your loved ones to do it too! Keep in mind -- a compliment from a dear friend, or offering to help someone in need could make their year. Kindness matters. Gratitude is love. Tatiana is a spiritual teacher, psychic-intuitive, intuitive life coach, creator of music and healing meditations, Angel Therapy Practitioner® and Angel Therapy Medium® She’s passionate about helping people move forward and overcome their fears, ditch procrastination and do what they love.

“For me, every hour is grace. And I feel gratitude in my heart each time I can meet someone and look at his or her smile.” Elie Wiesel
Here you can learn a way to pray for someone else and pray about a situation. It was written by the great Unity writer, Emmet Fox in the year 1931 ********************************************
The Golden Key by Emmet Fox
I have compressed this essay into a few pages. Had it been possible I would have reduced it to as many lines. It is not intended to be an instructional treatise, but a practical recipe for getting out of trouble.
“As we express our gratitude, we must never forget that the highest appreciation is not to utter words, but to live by them.” John F. Kennedy “Gratitude is riches. Complaint is poverty.” Doris Day “Give yourself a gift of five minutes of contemplation in awe of everything you see around you. Go outside and turn your attention to the many miracles around you. This five-minute-a-day regimen of appreciation and gratitude will help you to focus your life in awe.” Wayne Dyer 44
How To Pray
Study and research are well in their own time and place, but no amount of either will get you out of a concrete difficulty. Nothing but practical work in your own consciousness will do that. The mistake made by many people, when things go wrong, is to skim through book after book, without getting anywhere. Read The Golden Key several times. Do exactly what it says, and if you are persistent enough you will overcome any difficulty. -- Emmet Fox Scientific prayer will enable you to get yourself or anyone else, out of any difficulty. It is the golden key to harmony and happiness.
Beginners often get startling results the first time, for all that is essential is to have an open mind and sufficient faith to try the experiment. Apart from that, you may hold any views on religion, or none.
To those who have no acquaintance with the mightiest power in existence, this may appear to be a rash claim, but it needs only a fair trial to prove that, without a shadow of doubt, it is a just one. You need take no one’s word for it, and you should not. Simply try it for yourself.
As for the actual method of working, like all fundamental things, it is simplicity itself. All you have to do is this: Stop thinking about the difficulty, whatever it is, and think about God instead. This is the complete rule, and if only you will do this, the trouble, whatever it is, will disappear. It makes no difference
God is omnipotent, and we are God’s image and likeness and have dominion over all things. This is the inspired
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
teaching, and it is intended to be taken literally, at its face value. The ability to draw on this power is not the special prerogative of the mystic or the saint, as is so often supposed, or even of the highly trained practitioner. Everyone has this ability Whoever you are, wherever you may be, the golden key to harmony is in your hand now. This is because in scientific prayer it is God who works, and not you, and so your particular limitations or weaknesses are of no account in the process. You are only the channel through which the divine action takes place, and your treatment will be just the getting of yourself out of the way.
November 2018
what kind of trouble it is. It may be a big thing or a little thing: it may concern health, finance, a lawsuit, a quarrel, an accident, or anything else conceivable: but whatever it is, stop thinking about it and think of God instead -- that is all you have to do. It could not be simpler, could it? God could scarcely have made it simpler, and yet it never fails to work when given a fair trial. Do not try to form a picture of God, which is impossible. Work by rehearsing anything or everything that you know about God. God is wisdom, truth, inconceivable love. God is present everywhere, has infinite power, knows everything, and so on. It matters not how well you may think you understand these things: go over them repeatedly. But you must stop thinking of the trouble, whatever it is. The rule is, to think about God. If you are thinking about your difficulty, you are not thinking about God. To be continually glancing over your shoulder in order to see how matters are progressing is fatal, because it is thinking of the trouble, and you must think of God and nothing else. Your object is to drive the thought of the difficulty out of your consciousness, for a few moments at least, substituting for it the thought of God. This is the crux of the whole thing. If you can become so absorbed in this consideration of the spiritual world that you forget for a while about the difficulty, you will find that you are safely and comfortably out of your difficulty -- that your demonstration is made. In order to “golden key” a troublesome person or a difficult situation, think. “Now November 2018
1 am going to ‘golden key’ John, or Mary. or that threatened danger”: then proceed to drive all thought of John, or Mary, or the danger out of your mind, replacing it with the thought of God. By working in this way about a person, you are not seeking to influence his conduct in any way, except that you prevent him from injuring or annoying you, and you do him nothing but good. Thereafter, he is certain to be in some degree a better, wiser, and more spiritual person, just because you have “golden keyed” him. A pending lawsuit or other difficulty would probably fade out harmlessly without coming to a crisis, justice being done to all parties concerned. If you find that you can do this very quickly, you may repeat the operation several times a day with intervals between. Be sure, however, each time you have done it, that you drop all thought of the matter until the next time. This is important. We have said that the golden key is simple, and so it is, but of course it is not always easy to turn. If you are very frightened or worried, at first it may be difficult to get your thoughts away from
material things. But by constantly repeating a statement of absolute Truth, such as: There is no power but God: I am the child of God, filled and surrounded by the perfect peace of God: God is love; God is guiding me now; or, perhaps best and simplest of all. God is with me -- however mechanical or trite it may seem -- you will soon find that the treatment has begun to “take.” And that your mind is clearing. Do not struggle violently; be quiet, but insistent. Each time you find your attention wandering, switch it back to God. Do not try to think in advance what the solution to your difficulty will be. This is called “outlining” and will only delay the demonstration. Leave the question of ways and means to God. You want to get out of your difficulty that is sufficient. You do your half, and God will never fail to do God’s. “Whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved” (Acts 2:21).

Approach life differently and watch it change!
in the present moment. Choose to refocus your attention in the now. Every time you catch yourself dwelling on the past, make a quick decision to switch gears. Immediately focus on finding something to be grateful for in the present. Letting go of the past creates space for you to welcome new experiences. You are creating the life of your dreams, so you must focus your mind, emotions, and body in the present moment because your creative power exists now, not in the past.
By Dr. Dravon James
Are you living your dream life? If you could be doing anything with your life, would you choose to be doing what you are currently doing? If you answered NO to either of those questions, then your next question should be, ‘Why not?’ What’s stopping you from living the life of your dreams? Is your answer: money, time, spouse, kids, job, health? You may be surprised to know that most people report that their life doesn’t come close to resembling their dream life. According to a recent Gallup poll, 85% of people worldwide hate their jobs, and the divorce rate in America is hovering around 50%. Is living your dream life an elusive fairytale? Is it akin to the search for unicorns and flying bunnies? No, not at all. There will always be challenges to provide opportunities for growth and development, but living your dream life is easier than you think. To create positive change in your external world you must first develop an empowering, nourishing, and secure internal world. Changing your reality involves changing your attitude. Accepting Your Freedom Your external world is an accurate picture of what’s going on inside of you, so it makes sense to clean up your internal environment when you decide to get serious about creating a life that makes you grin from ear to ear. The first step is to know that you and only you have the power to change your life. This is great news because you don’t have to get permission from anyone.
46
This is also the step that frightens most people because when you have all the responsibility you can’t blame anyone else if you fall short of achieving your goal. Internal freedom is available to you now. Right now, at this very moment, you have complete control over how you perceive, act, and react in every situation. As you increase your conscious awareness and begin utilizing your internal freedom, your external world will begin to transform. To begin changing your approach to life, start looking at every difficult situation as a game -- a game where the objective is to find a way to replace complaining and blaming with calmness and openness. For additional information on how to harness the power of this innate gift of freedom, read my book, Freedom is Your Birthright. Clearing a Pathway Many of us continually hold on to the past because the past feels familiar and provides a sense of comfort. According to psychologist Abraham Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, we all have a basic need to feel safe, so it’s no surprise that so many people cling desperately to the past. However, when you make the decision to change your life, you must change the way you deal with the past. You must choose to view the present moment as your safe zone. Get passionate about the potential that exists
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
As you make the decision to switch your safe zone from the past to the productive present, it helps to keep your goal in front of you. I call this, knowing your “why”. Why is it important that you change your life? Who will this change benefit? Most likely, as your life experience changes you will be adding value to your family, your community, and perhaps the world. Everyone benefits when you let go of the past and refocus on the present. Recognizing Your Superpower Have you ever thought of yourself as a superhero? Your initial answer may be no because your image of a superhero is a fictional character with superhuman power.
