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 Body Mind Spirit Guide to the One Mother, the One Father and their children (you & I)! Though we speak many languages from differing nations, professions, religions, and realms, as we start to sing the language of LOVE we begin to become aware that we are all singing the same song! This publication seeks to create Harmony to that One Song, the BEAUTIFUL Song of life! ~Howard & Penny Golden

Emotional Intelligence

By Wendy Powers Nugent “The capacity to be aware of, control, and express one’s emotions, and to handle interpersonal relationships, judiciously and empathetically” In today’s climate, interpersonal relationships are growing less tolerant as an increasing number of people are quick to judge and show little if any, empathy toward their fellow human. Whatever the reasons for this, I believe this is a spiritual challenge for the human experience around the world. I have observed that not only do we have a personal life path to work out karma while on this earth, there is also a collective human evolutional experience that moves in and around the individual experience. Now with the internet, our communications are almost instantaneous no matter where you stand on this planet. This brings everyone together as though we are all living in the same community. We can see the human suffering and survival experience along with having an ever-increasing exposure of all our actions, thoughts and personal information, moving in the sea of data with easy access for all, aka -- The Cloud. We are seeing mass numbers of people less tolerant of their governments that are suppressing them and are either demanding change or are finding that maybe just walking out and moving to another place on earth will ease their suffering and give them more hope for the future. The spiritual challenge is to stand for change within the individual experience, hence changing the world life-path without judgment or lack of empathy. I believe we are going through a time that many have called the “end times.” However, in my spiritual view, I believe the human spirit is moving towards a higher level, and with change comes a great struggle; after completing the lesson there comes awareness! What’s interesting, are some of the terminologies that are circulating with some groups, such as the word, “Woke”. I find this very interesting, as spiritual seekers have been saying for decades that an awakening is soon coming. I believe that you as an individual must consume your mind with love and self-assurance, as positive energy moves within you and surrounds you. We must be tolerant of those that may throw out negative thoughts and actions into the community of humankind. However, toss it back with spiritual ideas and views on whatever the arguments or ideology may be; don’t

think winning or taking a stand, instead, listen to your intuition and reach out to the universal mind for wisdom. Religion vs. spirituality and/or even total loss of faith, humankind is struggling through fear and distrust. This is the great war of these times. We, throughout the planet, are being challenged to move forward into evolution in spiritual awareness, bringing a great upheaval to all that we understood and accepted, and learning how we fit into an understanding of life and purpose in these new changing times. Old ideas of fear and redemption are being challenged with new ideas, moving through fear evolving into being enlightened into spiritual awareness. YOU WILL SURVIVE this spiritual challenge the world is facing, you will evolve your soul exponentially. How do I know this? You are a spiritual seeker, or you would not be reading this article; you open your mind and heart to love and forgiveness, you are not seeking one ideology, you are accepting there is only one mind and we are all a part of it. You are paying it forward (doing good for others without expecting a reward), you are meditating for peace and healing, you are light for others even when you do not feel your own light is shining. How? Because you listen, smile through, love and forgive. “What consumes your mind controls your life” and of course what should consume your mind is positive thoughts, praying/meditating unceasingly for the inner light of humankind to shine, and that the light will not be snuffed out with a fearful and defeated mindset. When anxiety, fear or even depression fills your mind, slowly take in a deep breath…then slowly exhale. Do this a few times and you will find a calm coming over you…. replacing the negative and unproductive thoughts with can do thoughts. Don’t become frustrated if changes do not seem to manifest immediately. Redirecting the emotional and spiritual mind takes consistency and focuses on positive thoughts which will strengthen and make clear your life path and soul’s purpose. Once your attitude and connection with the universal mind (your higher self) are (re)established, you will find the energy within yourself and the decisions you make, will evolve you and overall bring humankind to a higher level of awareness.

Oow, That Pain in My Feet! Understanding Your Feet When You Have Plantar Fasciitis By Robert Auerbach Have you ever thought about how your feet play a top role in how you negotiate your relationship with the earth? Every step you take must be buffered by your feet, as they endure the shock of hitting the ground. Have you ever noticed the footprints you or someone else has left on a sandy beach? You might notice that the footprints are pointed out to the sides (think Charlie Chaplin’s walk in, “The Little Tramp”), or, are pigeontoed in. Or, you might notice that in some “prints” there is little medial arch (signifying a high arch), or there may be no arch at all. For most people who have normal arches in their feet, and whose feet track straight ahead, they do quite well. Only one problem, hardly anyone meets those standards. However, many people with flat feet or with very high arches can experience complications in the mere act of walking. Either of these conditions can cause an unwanted amount of stress in the foot. This can result in a painful condition called, plantar fasciitis, which is an inflammation of the connective tissue in the bottom of the feet. Left unchecked, plantar fasciitis along with structural distortions in the feet, contribute to leg, knee, hip and

lower back disorders. According to Roland Wong, MSc, MD, FRCPC, prolonged standing and frequent walking in work environments pose as risk factors in the development of foot pain including plantar fasciitis. Other risk factors associated with foot pain include recreational causes, hard floors/hard-sole footwear and systemic diseases such as gout. Speaking of hard floors, anyone who has worked on concrete floors knows there is nothing theoretical in this association. Some other causes for plantar fasciitis are being overweight or obese or having one leg longer than the other, usually originating in one hip being higher. People in some occupations where they are on their feet much of the time are more prone to fasciitis than others. Waitresses, factory workers, cashiers, restaurant workers, medical personnel, teachers and members of the military, are some of the most prominent. Wearing certain types of shoes, such as high heels, can cause plantar fasciitis. Some years ago, the wife of an automotive executive came to me with a very bad case of plantar fasciitis. She complained that when she wore high heel shoes, her fasciitis would flare up. I explained that she would probably need to stop wearing high heel shoes. Aghast, she looked at me and sternly told me, “I don’t care. I want to keep wearing my high heel shoes, so just fix me so I can!” Because of the fashion standards followed by her friends she didn’t want to

acknowledge that wearing high heel shoes were the main cause of her problem. Many times, the first solution that comes to “medical mind” to deal with plantar fasciitis is surgery. Is this the only way? Of course not. There are far better ways of dealing with plantar fasciitis than surgery. One expert who thinks so is Dr. Rock Positano, who as a renowned foot specialist, in the 1990s finally cured the famous New York Yankee outfielder, Joe DiMaggio of heel pain that had plagued him late in his career, and ended it prematurely. Positano is internationally known for his non-surgical approach for the treatment of foot disorders. According to Healthline Newsletter™, “Most people don’t need surgery to relieve pain from plantar fasciitis. Instead, their condition improves through physical therapy, home treatments, and medical treatments. However, treatment can take several months to two years to improve your symptoms.” Here are some of the non-surgical treatments being used to heal plantar fasciitis: ·

Applying ice

Wearing “feet friendly” shoes

Orthotic inserts

Stretching

Rolfing

Physical therapy

Acupuncture

From a Rolf Structural Integration practitioner’s viewpoint, my approach to correcting this condition is to look at what is happening with the whole body. If the person is sitting down and their arches appear normal, and when they stand the arches go flat, that is a correctable condition. However, when the person is sitting down and their arches are totally flat, that is a much more difficult condition to correct.

When the problem is the feet, one should never look at the feet in isolation. Flat feet relate to muscles located on the outside of the calf called the peroneals, one of whose tendons attach to the sole of the foot near the arch. As Ida Rolf once said, “Flat arches are flat peroneals.” What she meant was that people with flat feet have peroneal muscles that are tight and shortened. What we need to do is look at any distortions of posture and alignment anywhere in the body, since the feet are the ultimate compensators and mediators of everything above, including the fact that we almost always carry more weight on one side than the other. Any distortion in the feet will limit the body’s ability to discharge the ground impact force that comes with each step, and that force will be sent up to the next station, the knees. There is another aspect to the importance of having competent feet. If our arches are too high, it may be difficult to be physically or emotionally grounded. If the arches are too flat, we may not have the kind of ‘spring’, bodily and psychologically, that we need to respond with resilience to whatever life my throw at us. If our feet track straight ahead without arguing with our knees and both are in agreement with our hips as our walk connects organically with our CORE, then we will have a better chance of moving powerfully toward our goals, without the painful ghost of plantar fasciitis. As we approach spring, isn’t this the perfect time to bring our bodies into alignment with our highest vision?

Breaking Free By Eve Wilson

This spring get ready to experience life in a new way. Much as February’s freezing rain cracked off ice-encrusted trees during the strong winds that followed, many old beliefs and illusions have broken free over this year’s harsh winter. Because of that, people are finding themselves able to respond to life with a fresh perspective and energy. The shift I am writing about is not a surface or temporary one, but a profound restructuring of our inner lives that may leave some people feeling confused, disoriented or strangely fatigued. Successfully living within our newly remodeled selves requires a different way of focusing our consciousness. We can try to keep functioning in the old way, but it will feel like lifting a heavyweight. What is needed is to embrace more of our potential and learn to do things in ways that are more whole, grounded and flexible. This current shift is one step in the journey of ascension that we are all undergoing here on earth. Like a house undergoing a remodel, our human selves are being updated. While that is happening different rooms in the house of our being become temporarily unavailable for

our living. So when I said to be flexible, I mean for example that there will be days when those used to directing their lives primarily from their mind and third eye will find them under reconstruction and not working well! This means they will need to focus from their heart, navel or their root chakra instead. When we let go of our usual way of focusing and controlling our lives and relax into our whole body, we will find there is another way to center within which allows us to fulfill the requirements of those days. A gift of this is that it forces us to step out of our limited box of self-identity and begin to learn to use our whole self. There is a great deal more we can do from our whole self than with the small focus we habitually have used!

for us to realize this goal, and it requires us to let go of our assumptions about life and self and to experience ourselves in entirely new ways. Fortunately, these changes happen in stages and have been going on now for over 200 years. Since December 2012 we have been undergoing an exponential shift toward this goal which will finish in about 25 years for all life on earth. It’s helpful to remember that these changes in us and our world are being directed by higher intelligence and unconditional love of the clearest levels of our spiritual source and the chaos we see is only transitional. All life is preparing to enter a new and ascended place of wholeness and well-being and letting go of the old is essential to reaching that destiny.

What is happening is that our human selves are rising in vibration and function in order to hold greater unity with our Higher Spirit Selves. This season’s beautiful shift is one of many that individuals will undergo over the next 10 yrs. or so. Over that time we will repeatedly have to let go of the way we have been seeing ourselves and of approaching our lives in order to be more whole, to unify with our Higher Selves and realize our greater potential.

My Classes, Healing Treatments and award-winning blog all support people with this journey because just knowing what is going on is not always enough to get smoothly through the process. Find out more on my website www.spiritualhealers. com Eve Wilson

The amazing thing about this process is that it is happening in response to something bigger and wiser than us. We really can’t make it happen or stop it from happening; it is as organic as a seed sprouting in the moist soil of spring. What we can do is cooperate with this process rather than resisting or fearing it. We can awaken in the morning and be ready to experience ourselves in a new way, to focus our energy through whatever rooms in the house of our being are stable today. There we will learn to live successfully in a more whole way through every aspect of ourselves, instead of just those parts we are accustomed to using. We are ascending, something we have been working toward since the dawn of creation and these shifts are essential to that process.

Offering Heart-Centered Work…

Healing Touch Center of Farmington Hills Celebrates its 20th Anniversary By Hattie Peraino Unity Churches provide a positive, practical, approach to Christianity based on the teachings of Jesus and the power of prayer. We honor universal truths in all religions and respect each person’s spiritual path.

Practical, spiritual teachings that empower abundant & meaningful living ● Excellent Youth Services ● Space for Rent ● Classes and Workshops ● Weddings ● Christening ● Memorial Services ● Spiritual Baptism 12

Since March 1999, The Healing Touch Center of Farmington Hills has welcomed many clients, providing an experience of healing energy that balances body, mind, and spirit in a very heart-centered atmosphere. Throughout its 20 years of operation, the Center has served hundreds of individuals, helping people of all ages… children, adults, and senior citizens… to explore the role that energy plays in self-healing. The Center also provides workshops for those new to energy work, mentorship for practitioners who are working toward certification, and classes for all five levels of Healing Touch coursework. Endorsed by the American Holistic Nurses Association, Healing Beyond Borders is a non-profit, world-wide organization that certifies Healing Touch practitioners in this complementary modality that supports standard medical practice. Student healers are trained in techniques that focus on releasing stress, easing pain and balancing a client’s biofield. The process to become certified is rigorous and takes approximately two years; requirements are designed to bring the student practitioner from a novice level to certification. In addition to providing treatment sessions to 100 clients, tasks include reading books on energy work, experiencing alternative healing modalities and participating in a number of outreach opportunities. The ethics of providing energy work for others is also addressed. In Healing Touch a variety of techniques are available to prepare the body for the best outcomes pre/post surgery, to reduce mental stress and mind “clutter”, to remove toxins from the body, particularly after chemotherapy treatments, and, of course, to support on-going self-care. A typical Healing Touch session lasts approximately one hour and begins with an intake interview where the practitioner gains information about the client’s issues. A client may share stories of personal loss, sources of stress or the location of physical pain. This information guides the treatment but the healing techniques are always directed by the flow or lack of energy that the practitioner senses when working in the client’s biofield. The client is asked to remove shoes and eyeglasses and rest on a massage table; the client’s only job is to relax and be open to receiving healing energy!

First, the practitioner does an energetic assessment which sets the context for the treatment session. Specific healing techniques are used to expand the field, energize and balance the chakras and release congested energy. After the treatment, clients often relate that they have sensed colors, felt a release of pain or experienced a heightened sense of inner peace and balance. They leave the Center renewed and revitalized, their body, mind, and spirit recharged. 20 Years of helping clients to heal… 20 years of heartcentered work! Many lives have been enhanced by the sessions offered at the Healing Touch Center in Farmington Hills, a place where a community of healers is always ready to support others in their journey toward wellness. On March 30th, over 70 practitioners will gather together to share memories, celebrate the on-going success of the Center and envision the future of this sacred work. Hattie Peraino is a Healing Touch practitioner. For more information on the Healing Touch Center visit: www.healingtouchcenter.info or leave a message at 248-788-5808 to schedule an appointment.

Springtime Yoga Poses for Self-Renewal Though it certainly may not feel like it, Wednesday, March 20, is the first day of the spring equinox. That means, in the coming days, all the snow will finally begin to melt (hopefully sooner rather than later), making way for blooming flowers and natural growth — both in nature and in yourself. A great way to welcome the change in seasons is to practice a few yoga poses for the spring equinox, so that your body can truly get in touch with nature, and you can feel inspired to make genuine, long-lasting changes wherever you need to in your life. Spiritually, the spring equinox (otherwise known as the vernal equinox) is such an incredible opportunity to open your heart and embrace the change brewing in every crevice of nature. During the winter season, the earth sort of falls to a hushed silence, and there’s a heaviness in the air that tends to make us all feel a little, you know, blah. But when spring rolls around, everything is restored anew, and growth is welcomed in every aspect. Symbolically, during the wintertime, your shadow is elongated due to the harsh and frigid lighting. But in the spring, it softens and allows for symmetry and balance, which you can use to inspire your springtime yoga flow. Use this standing yoga sequence as a clean slate and an opportunity to start over on the first day of the vernal equinox. As you flow from asana to asana, you’ll feel grounded and stable, yet gloriously open to everything that this brand new season has to offer. 1. Mountain Pose (TADASANA)

Sleep Well & Good Night William H. Karl, D.C.

Along with air, water, and food, sleep is essential for survival. While everyone needs a minimal amount of sleep to stay alive, experts often disagree on how much sleep is necessary for optimal health. There are also many different opinions on the variables related to sleep quality, such as how and when to sleep. I believe what really matters is getting the kind of sleep we need to greet each day with a smile and function at our greatest capacity. Sleep issues are often at the root of problems between couples, within families, and at workplaces. Sleep affects judgment, reaction time, metabolism, and emotions. Establishing good sleep habits is essential for restoring and maintaining our health. Do you remember wanting to sleep in but there was so much commotion that you lost those precious moments? How about when your kids became teenagers and stayed in bed half the day? Do you know someone who works the night shift or always works overtime and never gets enough sleep? How about the opposite scenario in which someone may have plenty of time, yet hardly sleeps? Sleep is a valuable commodity that many don’t have the luxury of enjoying. Most people seem to thrive on eight hours of sleep but individual circumstances influence how much sleep they may actually obtain. One’s age, health, work, activity levels, and emotions affect the amount of sleep a person requires as well as their quality of sleep. How much sleep do you need? To calculate this, take a day in which you use an average amount of energy, don’t set an alarm, and record how many hours you sleep. Do this multiple times and calculate the average. Questions have been raised as to whether we can bank sleep or catch up on lost sleep. Many experts say neither scenario is possible but I disagree. The trouble with sleep for some people,

including myself, is that there’s too much to do. I’d prefer not to sleep at all when there’re so many necessary and interesting things to do. When I’m in a creative mode, my mantra is that I’ll sleep when they throw dirt on me. This may sound odd but I don’t want to lose momentum by sleeping. However, I admit that after many late hours at the office, I look forward to catching up on sleep over the weekend. There’s nothing better than waking up from deep REM sleep with the luxury of going back for more… After about 48 hours of nonstop work, humans hit a point of being less productive and need sleep. Reaching this point in time when the body needs sleep is a problem the military must deal with. When the military is in the middle of a heated ongoing conflict, coffee isn’t the best answer. But as in both love and war, there’re no easy answers. If you’re a soldier, a bus driver on the night shift, or anyone who needs to stay awake for unusually long hours, drugs can keep you awake but bring their own set of problems, both physically and mentally. During sleep, the body does repairs that can’t be done efficiently while we’re awake. Science has recently found this to be true to a greater degree than ever imagined. One of the most fascinating mysteries of the brain that was discovered fairly recently is how it clears its own metabolic waste. Metabolic waste is like exhaust from a car. Anything that uses fuel creates waste products that must be removed so they don’t contaminate the rest of the system. In the human body, we have a lymphatic system which has six times the fluid volume of our blood system. The lymphatic and blood systems drain away waste products from the body. The brain does not have an active lymphatic system yet burns a great deal of fuel each day. Where does the metabolic waste from the brain go? In the last few years, MRI sleep studies showed that when we go into deep stage REM sleep, lymphatic pathways open up to drain toxic waste out of the brain. This was a monumental find that explained what had previously appeared to be inexplicable. This finding can also explain why different people need different amounts of sleep. The time it takes us to get into a dream state determines how much sleep we need. It’s like reverse refueling at a NASCAR race in which the race car is refueled as fast as possible. In sleep, we unload waste when we reach REM sleep. After this, we can get back into high mental function. The more metabolic waste in the brain, the lower the level of our functioning. One of the most popular reasons for getting enough sleep is that it can be helpful with weight loss. Sleeping allows the body to burn down cortisol levels so that fat can be burned for fuel. (Just ask a bear what happens during hibernation.) Sleeping on our back can lead to reduced compression of our

spinal segments which can help us feel more relaxed. This is another benefit of taking time to sleep and “unwind.” One common scenario for the inability to fall asleep is low liver energy. Many of my patients have found that taking a quarter teaspoon of raw honey before bed is helpful. There are so many different reasons for sleep problems that most people could use some help in figuring it out. There’s nothing better than sleeping on a problem and coming up with a solution; but if you have problems sleeping, it’s somewhat of a Catch 22. So let us help! Come to our workshop on March 28th to learn about successful sleep protocols used by many of our patients. These protocols typically include healthy whole foods combined with high-quality nutritional supplements, herbal and/or homeopathic remedies, PEMF, detoxification programs, and (environmentally verified) tart cherry juice as a natural source of melatonin. The chiropractic adjustment is also a great way to calm the nervous system and help prepare your body for sleep. Dr. William H.

Spring Forth By Carolyn Simon

Winter is gone and now we are moving into the season of opening ourselves to the joy of no snow, warmer weather, and more sunlight. The leaves on the trees are beginning to turn green, the grass is growing, and the buds of some perennials are beginning to show themselves. Spring is a wonderful season! Winter is the time we use to plant the seeds of our desires. Like the farmer or the gardener plants seeds in the soil of the ground for growth, we use the soil of our mind to plant our seeds. Through our thoughts, the seeds are planted and they are nurtured by our ability to remain focused on the desired outcome, rather than the existing conditions that may be presenting themselves at that time. Many goals were set at the beginning of the year; those goals were the planted seeds. What tools will you use to remain focused when life happens and various shifts occur? Don’t know? Then perhaps the following suggestions can be of help: Watch your thoughts. Keep them aligned with the Holy Spirit through a daily Prayer Practice. Start your day with an inspirational reading. Utilize prayer and/or meditation (on your desires) daily. Engage yourself in Spiritual study. Surround yourself with like-minded people who are supportive. This is the inner work that must be done to see your outcomes of renewal in your life. This inner work allows you to spring forth into the new design for your life. This is the regeneration process. I am reminded of a line of scripture in the Book of Philippians that says, “Forgetting those things which are behind, I strive for those things that are before me.” (From the Ancient Eastern Text: Lamsa’s Translation) If the inner work is too difficult to accomplish alone, assistance is always available. Perhaps Clinical Hypnotherapy could assist you with manifesting your new life design. I would love to assist you through your journey of renewal as you Spring Forth... Blessings, Carolyn Carolyn is the founder of InnerEssence Counseling and Clinical Hypnotherapy, a Licensed Professional Counselor, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist, Ordained Unity Minister, former Dental Hygienist, and former Teacher.

Psychic Medium Rachel Rains

featured at the Spring Enlightened Soul Expo By Amy B. Garber

Well-known Detroit-area psychic medium, Rev. Rachel Rains, will make a rare local appearance at the Enlightened Soul Expo in Ann Arbor this month. She’ll be offering a Gallery Reading to deliver messages from departed loved ones in front of a live audience on Sat, March 23, from 3:00-4:00 pm, and doing readings all weekend in her booth in the vendor area. At a Gallery Reading, the medium gives messages from Spirit to the audience. These could include messages from departed loved ones, spirit guides, angels, etc. Late admittance is prohibited for the Gallery Readings at the Expo because it interferes with the reader’s awareness of the spirits in the room. Not everyone in the audience will receive a message, but all can benefit from the messages received. Rachel became famous for her mediumship when she was a regular radio guest with Jay Towers on WDRQ and on Jim Harper’s Magic Morning Show (WMGC), where she spent more than six years contacting the other side for avid listeners. She has made many appearances on radio and television, including, “Blaine & Lisa with Allison” on 96.3 WDVD, WNIC, Psychic On Air on CBS Radio, Fox 2 TV News, and Channel 4 WDIV-TV. After being contacted by her deceased father in 1983, Rachel began to explore “contact with the other side” and realized her gifts. She has been a practicing psychic medium for over 30 years and is an ordained Spiritualist minister. Rachel established the Center for Self-Healing in Troy, Michigan, in 1987, with the goal of presenting a positive view of the psychic/metaphysical community and to “Help others have the opportunity to connect and communicate with the highest possible spiritual source.” Besides the appearance by Rachel Rains, several other exceptional mediums will be doing live audience Gallery Readings during Expo weekend: Lisa Bousson will be doing Evidential Mediumship on Saturday, 1:30–2:30pm and on Sunday, 1:00–2:00pm; and Rev. Elizabeth Brown will be delivering, “Flower Messages” on Sunday, 4:00–5:00pm. Additional free presentations are listed on the Expo website. The Expo is the largest indoor event of its kind in Michigan, with more than 150 holistic booths from around the Midwest. Presentations are free with Expo admission. Costs for readings and other vendor services vary. For advance discounted tickets and more information, visit: www.EnlightenedSoulCenter.com

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in the prescribed manner, it still proved successful and her son got over his fears.

Is Anxiety Causing You Distress? By Phil Rosenbaum

Is fear or anxiety troubling you? Did you know that in America, over 40 million people suffer from debilitating anxiety every year? There are, of course, different degrees of anxiety. Practically all people get anxious when they are attempting something new. Many people feel great anxiety if they have to give a speech or talk in front of other people. People may experience various types of phobias, such as fear of heights or flying, or fear of spiders or snakes, etc. However, there are others who are anxious much of the time. Anxiety blocks our joy and causes a great deal of distress. Dr. Dawn Huebner told an interesting story about her son who had extreme anxiety when he was young. Her son was afraid of bees, had fears of getting splinters if near wood, and had other phobias, as well, which were making his life miserable. It finally got so bad that his mother decided to take him to see a therapist. Initially, she saw a Freudian psychologist, whose suggestions made no sense to her. She decided to research the area and found that Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tended to be most successful for people suffering from anxiety. She decided to use this type of therapy with her son. She later admitted that her implementation did not exactly follow the Cognitive Behavioral format or procedures. Her son loved to play with Legos and spent a great deal of time playing with them. His anxiety of bee stings had gone so far that he would not go outside and play in the backyard. Dr. Huebner told her son that she was sure he would not get stung by a bee if he went outside to play, but if he did get stung, she would give him ten dollars, which he could use to buy more Legos. The father went further and stated that if his son get stung by a bee, he would give the son twenty dollars. The son decided to go outside to play. However, within six minutes he did get stung by a bee. As unfortunate as this was, the son realized that it was not the end of the world, and became more willing to go outside in the future. He did, eventually, overcome his fear of bees. After further research, Dr. Huebner realized she had made two mistakes. First, she should not have “bribed” her son, and second, she should never have assured him that he would not get stung by a bee, for there was no way she could be certain this would be the case. She stated that a better way to do this would have been to give her son some reward (such as Legos) after he had gone outside. Even though she did not use the 18

Dr. Huebner explains that with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy there are two different ways to deal with a fear. One method is called “flooding,” and the other is called “systematic desensitization.” She used the analogy of going into a swimming pool with cold water. One can jump in all at once and after a little while get used to the water, or one could first put a foot in and then a leg and continue submerging more and more of the body until the person was fully in the pool. If one had a fear of spiders, for example, flooding might entail sticking one’s hand in a container of spiders. Systematic Desensitization would involve incremental steps, such as looking at a picture of a spider, looking at a real spider, going in a room where there was a spider, getting closer to it, etc., until one might actually touch a spider. This method is much more gradual. Often visualization is used instead of actually going through the steps. Flooding is a faster method of overcoming the fear but it may be too overwhelming for the individual to handle. The other method takes longer but it is much less “jarring” to the person. There are, of course, other methods of dealing with anxiety, such as the use of hypnosis. Some therapists actually combine both methods, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy along with hypnosis, to help the client achieve even better results. If you are having a problem with anxiety and would like to try one or both of the above-mentioned treatments for anxiety, please call Phil Rosenbaum at 248-688-6469. Both methods have been shown to be very effective in reducing or eliminating anxiety.

Get A Fresh Start. Your Dreams Are Possible By Barbra White

Decide to become better, instead of bitter. Be a spiritual warrior today. Make the decision that everything in your past happened to make you better. When a bone breaks it heals back stronger. In the ways you have fallen short, you can come back even stronger. It is easier to act your way into a new way of thinking, instead of thinking your way into a new way of acting. Act now. Inner “Shadows” are spaces in your life, you believe, that by extending love, you will not get your needs met. This belief proves itself right by causing you to shut down, or act needy, mean and manipulative. Choose the high road. Consistently act loving -- but not to manipulate an outcome or gain approval. Giving love with the intent to feel love as you, you will realize your true nature, and all your needs will organically be met. Recently my client who had been told from doctors that it was NOT possible to get pregnant...got pregnant. Doctors said that because she had received chemo and radiation, pregnancy was absolutely 110% impossible. I watched today as a man lifted 500 pounds of weight in a shoulder press! Yesterday, I observed a dog that had just gotten his front leg amputated, run across the courtyard. What did the woman, the weightlifter, and the dog have in common? At some point, they must’ve opened to the possibility that there was another option. Open to possibility Fall in love with uncertainty It is where miracles are born Yes, it is easier to be cynical and hate, than practicing the daily discipline of opening to possibilities. Yes, it is easier in the moment to keep on believing your limitations. However, one choice leads to depression, the other to happiness. Begin again Today is a new day It is possible Barbra White Barbra White is a compassionate gifted intuitive, and holistic therapist.

The First Stir By Tatiana Scavnicky

Spring will soon bring tender colorful flowers and fresh green tree buds. Her arrival is counted on, almost taken for granted. I’m a summer girl. My official yearly emergence is the first day I can make it under the sun with my notebook, pen and magazine or two, like this one. But spring, she makes me forget the cold harsh winter. Her almost warm sunny days slowly erase biting zero degree winds, and months of still white and gray that make us retreat indoors and into ourselves. We mine a year’s gold at the Harvest Moon Fall Equinox and celebrate the dead at Samhain or Halloween. A yearly emotional Cancer Full Moon Winter Solstice holds us as we miss loved ones. We mourn their loss and begin the year’s goodbye. At Yule or Christmastime, it seems as if holiday lights set aglow the giving spirit of universal love. And every New Year like clockwork, just a few days in, a magical new moon is the promise of a new beginning. The season’s turn and things happen. Hard things. Winter is harder on broken bones, flu bugs, and lonely hearts. But spring, she seduces us every time, charming fresh bright electric hope right out of us. Tender shoots burst through the ground and the months leading up to this arrival are forgotten. Plans are made. New opportunities feel right on time, like a great drummer who’s in the pocket and a first kiss that led to new love. Spring is the first stir from a winter’s sleep. A wake-up call, and everywhere we look, Mother Earth confirms that life starts over. Cells regenerate and hearts are unbroken. We can forgive and be forgiven, and the past is laid to rest yet again, underneath the ground. Tatiana 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.

Spiritual Rejuvenation By Chrissie Blaze

“Why should I become a butterfly?” asked the chrysalis. “I am happy as I am, grubbing around in the dirt. This is who I am and what I do best.” Then he saw his brother, with beautiful wings, multi-colored, gently moving with the cool breeze, dancing in the sunlight, caressing the flowers, limitless, free, beautiful and beloved. The chrysalis knew in that instant that this was his destiny. He realized the butterfly was really who he was, not his now limited self. Our awakening dawns in a moment that is lifetimes in the making. It leads, however, to an inevitable process of transformation like the chrysalis to the butterfly that is slow and often painful. To make our awakening a permanent part of our lives rather than just a sugar pill fix that quickly dissolves and is gone, it is important that we then make an inner shift.

03/17 Spring Equinox Ritual Workshop, 2–6pm. Rituals for release, renewal, and manifestation offered by Jaclyn Duvall. $20 advance only.

The shift comes when we realize that, despite ourselves -- not usually because of ourselves -- we have to change. An example of this was St. Teresa of Avila, the Christian mystic born in Avila, Spain in 1515. Her parents were pious Catholics and they encouraged their daughter to embark on a life of prayer.

zeal. She grew into a regular teenager, interested in boys and clothes, flirting, romancing and having fun. With her natural charm and witty nature, she had an increasingly wide circle of friends who admired and loved her. It may seem strange to some that Teresa should feel compelled to leave behind her happy life to become a nun. She had no personality hang-ups; she was well-balanced, lively, popular, and life was good. However, her dissatisfaction came in direct proportion to the spiritual seed that had taken root and was now blossoming within her. While her social circle allowed her full expression for her charm and wit, she had as yet little expression for the flowering of her divine nature. Life no longer satisfied her; she wanted something deeper and she knew deep down that there was more to life than what she had already experienced. In her own words, “The soul is satisfied now with nothing less than God. The pain is not bodily, but spiritual.” While Teresa was making this inner shift towards higher consciousness, some of the other ignorant, close-minded clergies regarded this awakening of her divine nature as the work of the devil. The truth is that Saint Teresa of Avila was a thoroughly modern woman even by today’s standards; irrepressibly charming and full of life while at the same time an enlightened mystic. The mysticism in her works and which she experienced directly in her life exerted its influence on theologians through the centuries and she still inspires thinkers today. To Saint Teresa, spiritual life was an attitude of love, not a harsh discipline. She befriended God not as a grim father figure to be feared but as the Divine Creator to be loved above all. In her words, “The feeling remains that God is on the journey too.” These are not the days to lock ourselves away to find peace; these are the days to give service in the midst of materialism. It is the shift away from our own personal likes and dislikes towards the realization that so many need our help. These are the days for the ‘spiritual activist’ when, more than ever before, all men and women of good heart are being called, because we are all needed. We all have a vitally important role to play in these pivotal days of change. My husband, Gary, and I will be conducting the first of three classes in March, April, and May designed for our spiritual rejuvenation. The first class is on Tuesday, March 26 at 7:30 p.m. on, “The Chakras: Your Gateway to Healing and Enlightenment”. Please join us! (See ad for further information).

Spiritualism From The Far East By Nancy Lynn

The month of March is usually marked by the transformation of winter to spring; it is marked as a time when the cold hard ground has revitalized and yields a new cycle of beginning. The snow melts and the rain comes, all in hopes of bringing forth new growth in the year. It invokes the notion of transition from the introspection of the winter and bridges to the spring to produce new life. Yet, it does not necessarily mean we shed the old entirely but take the opportunity to grow from the cold and become stronger. With that being said, let me take this time to broaden our cultural horizon, seeing this month through a new lens many miles from the Western way of thinking. Travel with me to the Far East where we will look at a mirror of modern spiritualism through the practice of Buddhism. How it relates to the practices that we have familiarized ourselves with and pay homage to this ancient practice that still captures the minds of 535 million people around the world. Traditionally many of us involved in the Spiritual community are typically practicing through our socialized lens of spiritualism. Whether you are meditating at home, learning to read star charts, palms or practicing the demonstration of mediumship.

Transcending into more spiritual practices in the Far East is the shamanic practice, which has developed into what we know as modernday Buddhism. These teachings primarily surround what is known as the eightfold path. This may or may not be familiar to you but works in tandem with some ideas that have been passed down in modern spiritualism. One of the major connections being the belief in reincarnation of the soul or the term “rebirth.” The idea that the soul continues even after death and will return to the earthly plane until insight has been fully achieved. Buddhists have deemed this secondary plane Nirvana, yet it takes many cycles or saṃsāra to achieve this. For each embodiment is meant to teach the soul a lesson and this knowledge will be carried on into the next life. A beautiful thing that I came across when researching was the term bodhisattva, pronounced (boodi-saht-va). It is a person who is able to achieve Nirvana and reach the rank of a Buddha but chooses instead to lead a sentient life among others in order to act as guides. I found this idea to be familiar with my depiction of spirit guides. Beings that love unconditionally serve my higher self and continuously help move others into higher planes of consciousness. Buddhism encourages individuals to let go of material things. They believe that one need not be tied to the material world, for it is temporary. There is a connection between the mind and body in this practice but it is said by monastic monks that enlightenment happens in the mind. How much do we venture into our own minds for our personal enlightenment? I have found that some of my hardest challenges have been the greatest learning tool in this life journey.

Crystals for Protection from EMFs By Jennifer VanderWal

We are continually subjected to EMFs, by cell phone towers, microwaves, TVs, smart meters, cell phones, wires in the walls and computers, more than people realize or talk about. As a crystal healing facilitator, it is important to help people be aware of how EMFs can affect us, especially our health. Electromagnetic frequency smog is the invisible energy that’s emitted mostly from electronics. After years of studies, people are just now admitting how EMFs affect us and everything in our environment, from plants to soil. It’s been known to turn healthy cells into unhealthy abnormal cells. This is caused by the very low frequency that EMFs emit; the cells are not able to sustain their frequency to maintain good health Studies done with cows living under power lines and cell phone towers show high indications of tumors, cancer and birth defects in calves. Not only cows are affected -- people of all ages, especially growing and developing children, show that birth defects, tumors and higher rates of cancer are being reported, occurring 40 - 50 times faster with the new 5g technology. Children get very over-exposed just by having to use them all the time in school. Kids are very intuitive and know what they need to be whole and balanced. A good practice to develop with them could be having the child pick their own crystal to tape on their cell phone or computer to help balance the long-term effects of the EMFs. Smokey quartz, malachite clear quartz sodalite, and black tourmaline are all great stones for clearing EMFs, as well as limiting microwave, cell phone, TV and computer time. Stones can be used to absorb, cleanse or protect us from EMFs; the most effective way to use them in your home is to place one or more crystals directly on the area where the EMFs are highest. If there is an area or wall in your home that has the most amount of electrical wires, you will want to place a piece of malachite, for example, on that wall by mounting a shelf or hanging the malachite in front of the area closest to the area. Malachite a powerful earth healer that absorbs plutonium pollution, radiation from a body or environment, and EMFs. Lepidolite mops up EMFs from an environment and is excellent when used with fluorite on computers. Other stones that clear EMFs are amber, tourmaline, turquoise and kunzite. Crystals that absorb EMFs are smokey quartz, aventurine, diamond, and Herkimer. Crystals that protect us from EMFs are kunzite, amazonite, fluorite, and Jasper. Wearing any of these protective stones will help any time you have short or long-term exposure to EMFs. Jennifer

The spring season is full of transformation, and temperatures rise to a more bearable degree. The leaves we saw fall and flowers we saw wilt are now budding into lush, green, pictureperfect plants. Aside from the weather’s transformation, we are transforming our lives, too. When spring rolls into our lives, we start to pick up the slack that winter may have instilled inside of us. That New Year’s resolution to join the gym starts being enforced, and we can gather together with friends for outdoor activities at the park. Take this spring season as a chance to participate in community service, tending simultaneously to your environment as well as yourself. Help write the chapter of new beginnings this spring in creating positive outcomes for all areas of nature, and your health. Visit: www.mnn.com

spiritual wholeness.

The Silver Tread: Who is the Devil? By Dr. Michael Abramsky

Satan makes his first appearance in the Old Testament. The Hebrew word satan means the “adversary”. In several instances in the Bible, God sends a Satan to interfere with a character who is involved in activities in which God disapproves. Satan is an earthly extension of God. In the Book of Job a distinct figure of Satan emerges. Satan tells God that Job’s loyalty is based on the fact that God has been generous to Job, granting him wealth and progeny, and that, without such a lifestyle, Job would turn against God. God accepts the “bet” and destroys Job, and the book becomes a dialogue on belief and mortal man’s relationship with an omniscient and omnipotent God. In Job, however, Satan is like a cabinet member, offering advice, but having no power except that which God grants. Satan as an independent force of evil matures in the New Testament, and through the Christian church. Elaine Pagels points out the early Christian church identified the Serpent in the Book of Genesis as a manifestation of Satan, and this led to a view of sex as a sin, and the needs for celibacy as a path to

“Though I do not believe that a plant will spring up where no seed has been, I have great faith in a seed. Convince me that you have a seed there, and I am prepared to expect wonders.” Henry David Thoreau

The image of Satan as a tempter toward sin and evil gains its most mature expression in the Gospels of Matthew, Mark, and Luke, the New Testament’s biography of Christ. All these synoptic Gospels describe the meeting of Christ and Satan, and Satan’s attempt to seduce Jesus with both lust and greed. Jesus’ resistance is his hallmark as a person of virtue. Our spiritual evolution is contingent upon fighting and defeating the temptations of evil. A similar scenario occurs in the life of the Buddha. The Buddha tries several paths to enlightenment, which are unfulfilling. Finally, he sits beneath a Bodhi tree and begins to meditate. While doing so Mara, the goddess of evil, sends her armies against him. The “armies” have the familiar faces of greed, lust, and power. However, the Buddha’s mind stays focused and pure. It is the purity of his thought which manifests in equanimity that wards off the demons. He neither succumbs to the temptations, nor responds with counter aggression, but “wins” by no responsiveness to evil. The Buddha’s response sets the stage for Buddhist psychology. The aim of Buddhist psychology is to establish an equanimous state of mind, to handle the onslaught of our primitive core-greed, anger, and ignorance, through letting these desires pass through us without internal disruption. The psychoanalyst Carl Jung developed the concept of the “shadow”. The shadow is the concealed and negative area of our personality which hides behind the good self. One of our life tasks is to discover the shadow, and integrate it into our personality and actions, and tame it. It is universal. Satan is the constant force of evil within us, and our psychological growth stems from our ability to open our heart to evil and integrate it through equanimity, insight, and enlightenment. Satan takes many forms conceptualized and shaped by different cultures and personalities but is the constant force in our lives which demands attention and transcendence. Not surprisingly, most of these experiences are with nature. James Finley, an acolyte of Merton’s, illustrated this experience well. He lives with a view of the ocean. Each morning when he gets up he goes to his porch and looks out and often feels transformed. He remarks, “I never look out and see the same old ocean. I never get used to it, I am never bored.” 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.

Spring Renewal for Your Body, Mind & Spirit During the long winter months, we tend to go inward, reflect and conserve our energy. When the earth begins to warm in spring, the flowers and trees blossom, and the fragrance of new life is in the air, something stirs deep within us. Like nature, we slowly awaken from the quiet of winter, feeling more energetic and alive with an undeniable sense of renewal and new beginnings. The promise of renewal gives us the vision and inspiration to bring our goals and creative energy to fruition. Indeed, spring is a time of personal regeneration and renewal of body, mind and spirit. So, we’ve put together eight ways for us all to benefit most from the arrival of springtime. De-clutter inside and out: Spring cleaning doesn’t only apply to tidying up your living space. De-clutter all aspects of your life! While spring is a good time to sell or donate clothing and household items that are no longer needed or used, it’s also the perfect time to re-evaluate the key areas of your life like your work, relationships and your health. Gently begin to clear away anything that may be wearing you down and sapping your energy. Release to receive. Spend time in nature: Studies show that spending time in natural environments has remarkable health benefits. Just 20 minutes in vegetation-rich nature improves vitality and your zest for life. It eases anxiety and depression, improves cognitive function, reduces the stress hormone cortisol, lowers blood pressure and supports enhanced happiness. Being in nature also produces brain waves that are similar to those experienced while meditating. Hug a tree! Continues on page 31...

Sister Simone Campbell “Mending the Gaps” Why so Many Feel Left Behind By Lester Wyborny

Too often we hear that if people “just work hard and play by the rules” they will “get ahead.” We also hear that people living in poverty are lazy and don’t want to work; the term “welfare queen” is used to negatively frame women living in poverty. Sister Simone Campbell of the Nuns on the Bus fame explains that these misconceptions and stereotypes, are light years away from reality, and are used by some for gaming the system for financial gain. Sister Simone Campbell is part of NETWORK, an organization which advocates for economic justice. Sister Simone has conducted multiple Nuns on the Bus tours, driving thousands of miles across the United States to speak for justice, advocate for fair federal policies and empower citizens – especially low-income people – to selfadvocate and vote. Sister Simone has advocated to make the tax code more progressive, raise revenue to support programs that invest in people and communities, and decrease inequality. She maintains that the recent tax laws fail to do this; in fact, it adds $1.9 trillion to the federal deficit over ten years, draining the treasury of valuable revenue for human needs programs. Ensuring that all people have access to quality, affordable healthcare is another goal of Sister Simone. Under the Affordable Care Act, she advocated that all states adopt the Medicaid expansion. For the longer term, she supports the implementation of Medicare for all. Sister Simone also supports immigration reform, recognizing that we were all once immigrants looking for a better life. She states that the broken immigration system should be repaired, providing a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants, and protect family unity. Ultimately, she says that we should identify and address the root causes of immigration throughout the world. Sister Simone is an amazing voice for social justice. “She is unstoppable,” said University of Michigan Business Professor, Michael Gordon. Sister Simone has mastered the ability to identify the factors that cause poverty and misery and then clearly explain these factors in a way that is easy to grasp. Those fortunate enough to hear her presentations about how our economic and political systems create poverty, appreciate the clarity with which she speaks and is grateful for their improved understanding of the underlying causes of poverty and the means to address them. Hear Sister Simone Campbell speaking on Mending the Gaps – Why So Many Feel Left Behind, in Ann Arbor on March 31 at 2:30 pm, at the Bethlehem United Church of Christ, located at 423 S. Fourth Ave., Ann Arbor. Tickets cost $20 and $5 for students. For more information and to purchase tickets, go to the webpage: https:// results.salsalabs.org/sistersimone Funds benefit the RESULTS Education Fund. As Sister Simone Campbell and NETWORK, RESULTS also works to end poverty. RESULTS is a movement of passionate, committed everyday people that use their voices to influence political decisions that will bring an end to poverty.

“I think the frustration of so many is, ‘What can I do to make a significant change?’” offered Carol Hafeli, a retired speech and language pathologist who has volunteered with RESULTS in Ann Arbor for the past four years. “I’m impressed that RESULTS is so proactive and has a 38-year track record of a small group making a large impact. I marched with millions of women in Washington, D.C., but that doesn’t move the policy needle as much as the slow and steady dripping on the rock we do as part of the coordinated national coalition of RESULTS groups.” Across the United States and around the world, RESULTS advocates for ending poverty, domestically and globally, working through their elected officials, and through media outlets. Locally, RESULTS groups in Ann Arbor and North Detroit carry out the work of RESULTS in Michigan. As unpaid volunteers, these local RESULTS volunteers meet with Michigan’s U.S. Representatives, including Debbie Dingell, Rashida Tlaib, and Tim Walberg, and Senators Debbie Stabenow and Gary Peters, to change policy and implement programs to address poverty. “I am proud to be a member of RESULTS because the voices of individuals who have lived in poverty are valued, and perspectives that have been left out of conversations on Capitol Hill for far too long are centered in all of our advocacy work,” said Susan Fleurant, a first-year University of Michigan law student. “RESULTS elevates the strengths and contributions of young advocates and empowers people from all backgrounds to recognize their potential to make a difference through advocacy.”

You're Invited Mending the Gap - Why do so many people feel left behind? A program featuring Sister Simone Campbell, of Nuns on the Bus and Executive Director of NETWORK Reception to follow the program.

You will also be introduced to the work of RESULTS and meet RESULTS activists. It should be a fascinating afternoon.

Living in the Question By Christine Fodor So what does the title, “Living in the Question”, mean? It’s one of the Access Consciousness tools from, “The 10 Keys to Total Freedom” (book by Gary Douglas and founder of Access Consciousness). This tool is actually, CHT (Not The Answer). For me, this tool changed my life! I’ve always loved questions, in fact, you could probably call me the Question Queen. I’ve always wanted to know more about, well, everything, and have always asked a lot of questions. In fact, I would often ask, “Can I ask you a question?” Ha, I just did! So when I learned about this tool I realized that there was another way to ask questions that could create my life greater than I can imagine! What? Yes! Absolutely! For those of you who know me, you know that I’ve always been interested in manifestation and hosted various groups for manifesting, visualizing and meditating throughout the years. That’s all good and helpful and yet there’s a whole new world of creation available beyond that. I absolutely loved when I found, “The Secret” (book by Rhonda Byrne), The Law of Attraction and “Ask and it is Given” (by Ester and Jerry Hicks). Then I found using questions in a way to create more for my life with Access Consciousness, and my whole world changed. And magical miracles started happening at warp speed! Yep, you can have that and be that too! Here’s how to start: Ask Questions! Ask the Universe, Higher Power, God, Goddess, your Higher Self, whatever you believe in is fine. Just ask questions. I had a dream board, we’re all familiar with that concept, cutting out pictures of what you would like to be and have in your life to help you visualize it. I did mine many years ago but instead of pictures I used words and ‘I AM’ statements. Well… once I found out about this asking question thing, I changed ALL of my words and statements to questions, such as, ‘Work 30

less and make more money’ became, ‘What would it take to work less and make more money?’ and ‘Joy’ became ‘What would it take to live with joy?’ and ‘Happiness and Prosperity’ became, ‘What would it take to have happiness and prosperity?’ Then I added the other questions I found out about from Access Consciousness: How does it get any better than this? What else is possible? What are the infinite possibilities greater than I can even imagine? I still have that board next to my desk. It’s all come true, and continues to expand and become greater, the more I ask!

March Creation Questions By Christine Fodor

So whatever you do, definitely don’t ask these questions and create more for your life! Lol. Here’s the magic to this: don’t look for the answer. What? Exactly! Let the Universe deliver it to you. Follow your guidance and inspiration. Keep asking. Once you find an answer it becomes a conclusion and limits the possibilities. Be open to possibilities that show up for you that may not look like you think. I had a whole different concept of what joy was for me. ‘What would it take?’ is a great question. And not figuring it out or concluded what it should be, allowed for things to show up for me that I didn’t imagine and turned out to be wonderful and brought me more joy than I knew was possible! I wouldn’t have figured that out with my brain and thinking. By asking and following the energy, more is possible. What would you like to create, generate and actualize in your life? What questions can you ask yourself and the Universe about it? Since I love this tool so much, I will be offering questions for you to play with in the upcoming months and see what actualizes for you. Look for the Creation Corner to find the Questions of the Month to start playing with creation questions. And I welcome you to write me and let me know what happens. Happy asking and creating! I’m so excited to see how this turns out for you. What amazing life and living can you now be and receive greater than you can imagine? Christine Fodor

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

What can you choose to be and do today that would create and generate a more expansive reality for you and your life? What is light and expansive for you? What makes you say ahhh? That! That choice, that action, that brings you a greater sense of being the totality of you, and deeper gratitude. It could be a sense of joy, or comfort, or peace, maybe an accomplishment or completion. Whatever it is for you, just choose. Use your superpower of choice! That’s where true creation is. Choice creates. These are the questions that came up for me to share with you this month to help you with asking questions of the Universe to create more for your life and future. And as always, it created for me already! Yes really! So I had bought this new car in 2017. It was an inexpensive car, very basic, but new, as is my typical pattern with cars. It was a great deal! How lucky am I? Cool! I loved my old car so much that I bought another one just like it. They had updated it and changed things but ok great, newer model, I’ll get used to it. And it ended up that the seats pressed on an old back injury in just a way that it flared up my back, every time I had to drive! Ugh. I tried at least a dozen cushions to help my back and tolerate my vehicle. Nothing seemed to help. So I resorted to using layers of rolled up towels. Every day I had to adjust the towels and rearrange them every time I got in/out of the car. Sigh. Not what I had in mind when I decided to get a new car. In the 5-minute test drive, I didn’t realize it would do that. It’s a lot different when you’re in/out of the car all day. At the time, I was so focused on getting a good

March 2019

deal that I didn’t consider my comfort. I loved the last car that I thought I would love the new model too. I didn’t ask enough questions. My car ended up being a very heavy contracted energy for me, definitely not the light expansive energy that I had hoped it would be. So I figured I was stuck with this car. I had years of financing to pay but everyday driving the car was a challenge. Then I asked myself these questions when I was writing them for you. Not specifically about my car, just in general about my life. It was also about the same time I had rented a car while out of town and my back felt a whole lot better when in the car and with driving. It was so fun for me to drive the rental car that I even wondered about how I could ship it home. Once I got home and got in my car, the contrast was very apparent, I realized that I dreaded getting into that car every day. That sure doesn’t make me say ahhh in a good way, that’s for sure! Then there was this question, what can I choose to be and do today that would create and generate a more expansive reality for me and my life? I became inspired. What would that other car I rented actually cost? Then it became, what would it take to get a new car? It was just questions, no planning, just curiosity. And on and on with more questions and following the energy. I didn’t think getting another car was an option. I only had the car for 15 months! I had financing to pay. And with these questions, I let go of what I thought and allowed other possibilities. So… I traded in my old new-ish car and paid-off the financing and bought the new car I really liked!! And now I’m so happy! My back feels great and I can’t wait to drive my car. It’s fun, it’s joy, it’s expansive! And it took away a huge stressor in my life that I didn’t even realize caused me so much stress. It wasn’t a possibility to do that in my world until I asked these questions and then it all showed up! What can these questions create in your world to bring you more peace, joy, and comfort? You’re worth it! You deserve it! Just ask and allow the possibilities.

Tap into your creativity: Creativity revitalizes and nurtures your body, mind and spirit. There are proven mental, emotional, physical and spiritual benefits from expressing yourself in a tangible way, and sharing something with the world. Therefore, hospitals, prisons, and mental health professionals utilize art therapy for its many profound healing benefits. Each of us has a unique way of expressing our creativity, whether it be writing, drawing, singing, or dancing. Pick up that paintbrush you put down when life became too busy and tap into your creativity. Move your body: Dance. Do some yoga. Or, better yet, take a walk and stop to smell the flowers along the way. Walking is a wonderful way to move your body while clearing your mind and reducing anxiety and depression. And, remember to change your route. We are so programmed to do the same routine every day. Change the scenery and change your perspective! Quiet your mind: We’re constantly bombarded with mental stimulation that can lead to worry and stress. Life moves so quickly, surrounding us with the constant stimulation of the information stream. Create opportunities throughout your busy day to quiet your busy mind. Renew your spirit: Beginning a new discipline invites mindfulness into your life and is an uplifting and nurturing gift to yourself. A daily personal practice such as yoga, meditation, or chi gong provides a “time-out” from your everyday routine. Try journaling, reading an inspirational book or anything else that feeds and renews your spirit. Restore your health and well-being: Take an inventory of your diet, exercise habits, and your stress level, then slowly make one life-enhancing change at a time. Consider a spring detoxification program. This could be anything from avoiding sugar, caffeine and alcohol to consuming only freshly squeezed juices, vegetable broths and detoxifying herbal teas for a set period of time. The cleansing process de-stresses your body and increases your vital energy. Observe how you feel after eating certain foods, and reduce or eliminate gluten and dairy if you notice they make you sluggish. Simplify your life: Simplifying has a way of adding more quality to your life. Reorganize your priorities and re-evaluate where you invest your time and energy. Then, begin to release the things that drain you. What do you value most in your life? What is the best way to use your time to create the life you want to live? Make those things your focus. As you simplify, life becomes more rewarding. https://www.organicexcellence.com/

pattern that attracts those things into your life like a magnet.

Manifesting Your Life

Although much energy is spent on asking and believing, many fall short of receiving what they desire, due to a lack of action. Action is the key to breathing life into the process.

By Susan deCaussin

Spring is a great season for planning. As we emerge from the cold, short days of winter, it’s natural for us to start thinking about new adventures. This is a wonderful time to review the steps in the manifestation process, to ensure success in the days to come. There are many books and videos that outline the components of the process. I’d like to take a few minutes to review some of the most basic, yet essential, steps with you now. At the simplest level, the manifestation process consists of three steps: Ask, Believe and Receive. Spirit has shared the following perspective with me, which is a simplified way of understanding manifestation at a deeper level. You see, prior to birth, when we’re planning out our lives, we make a pact with a group of souls (our guides and loved ones in spirit) who agree to assist us along our journey. Knowing our life goals, they become our inner compass – that small voice from within – that steers us toward the people, events, and circumstances that will keep us on track. I like to refer to them as my “set designers”. When you’re able to clearly hold a vision of what you desire, and then take on the emotions of having already received it, those set designers go right to work. They begin building the circumstances necessary to make it happen. Because, when your vision is strong and consistent, you emit a vibrational

without limit and yields many fruits other than sorrow or joy. condition: without spring, without autumn, it is always fresh.” ~Rumi

The final step in the process of manifestation – Receiving – only occurs when you start to move in that direction with your actions. Asking and believing bring you into the vibrational pattern that you need, but without taking action, you’ll remain stuck in neutral. Not sure of what actions to take? By learning how to release stress and anxiety from your life, clarity begins to step in, and decisions come easier. Once you’re able to clear away the clutter and release the anxious feelings by incorporating silence into your day, you’ll become aware of the guidance that’s there and your intuition will flow. Hypnotherapy and Spiritual Guidance can help to remove any barriers between you and the life you desire. If you’re interested in exploring your options, FREE consultations are available by phone or in person. So, what’s holding you back from the life you really want?

“The garden of love is green

Love is beyond either

Just imagine this: You are envisioning the job of your dreams. Every day you wake up with a smile on your face as you allow the emotions related to having that perfect job flood your mind. You are totally committed and convinced that this new position is on its way. But, after several weeks, you begin to lose hope and start believing that it’s no longer coming. Since your thoughts drive the process, when you become convinced that your dream job isn’t on its way, those set designers drop their tools and begin to construct scenarios that mirror your new way of thinking. In other words, when your thoughts are supporting the idea that you aren’t worthy and it will never happen, that’s exactly what you attract.

Warts and All

By Gwendolyn Esco Davis “Perfection is finally attained not when there is no longer anything to add but when there is no longer anything to take away, when a body has been stripped down to its nakedness.” Antoine de Saint-Exupery There are many authors in the field of spiritual teaching that I follow. One is, Dennis Merritt Jones. Many years ago, I had the opportunity to attend one of his talks on Imperfection. This month’s article is my takeaway from Dennis’ talk. There is an old fable about a brilliant master artist working on his masterpiece, a statue of David. An onlooker asked the gifted artist, “How will you ever create the perfection you seek from this slab of crude marble?” The master artist replied, “I have to add nothing because the perfection is already there, in the subject I carve. All I must do is remove the unnecessary pieces.” I don’t know the source of this ancient and often told story, or even if it is true, but doesn’t it make a point? Most of us believe that something is missing and that when we find it and add it, then we will arrive at perfection. The truth of the matter is sort of a dichotomy; when we blend our spiritual reality with our humanness, we discover that we are perfectly imperfect! The perfection of God already lies within us. We were born of perfection. Spiritually speaking of course, that makes us perfect just the way we are. Our perceived imperfections are just that my friend -- ours. Humanly speaking, we will never be perfect because we continue to judge ourselves as imperfect beings -- flawed. Our tendency is to want to hide our perceived flaws from the world by covering them up with what we think the world will approve. As an example, when it comes to seeking perfection, we could say that I am a professional with years of training and experience in my field, and may consider myself as one of the finest on the planet. However, what I have learned is that perfectionism is something that consumes an incredible amount of energy. Many perfectionists are not aware of how much this obsession runs, or perhaps, ruins our life. We are so busy trying to make everything and every one perfect that we lose touch with the moment at hand. Perfectionism stems from a need to control. So we say, what do perfectionists need to control? The answer is other people and other people’s opinions of ourselves. The mindset is that if only I can cover up my flaws, they won’t notice and I will be able to persuade other people that I am really all right -- that I am enough. So we put up this personal facade which looks good (we think) to the world, while never concluding that indeed we are enough just the way we are. It may take time to remove the unnecessary pieces -- the

material gains, the glitz and glamor, the human facades, and then and only then we will clearly see the true self. Our life is really about subtraction and not addition; there is nothing we need to add to who we are to know that we are enough. The only flaw we may have is the mistaken idea that there is something more we must get, gain, buy, and take possession of, to be okay. The truth is, you and I are enough because we are the manifestation of the divine. That said, as long as we focus on self-renewal and reemergence, it’s not that we have something we need to cover up but rather that we have something to reveal and share with the world -- our life is a journey of learning and evolving. Evolving to love ourselves first and then extending that love to others in every encounter. Once we embody this truth, we will see that we are perfectly imperfect -- warts and all! There is no time like the present to let go of your need to control. Release your attachment to needing the approval of the world. No matter what we do or say, there will always be someone who may not agree. Just know you are enough. Namaste, Peace, & Blessings, Gwendolyn Gwendolyn, owner of G.

Renewing Our Body

You Have the Key

By Chef Deborah Lieder

By Faith Brower

Do you ever feel like your life is small, boring, or just not what you thought it would be? I think more people than you know feel that way. What if I told you that if you feel that way, YOU are the one that has the KEY to change that? Each of us was given amazing powers when we were born. Each of us has the power to bring into our lives joy, peace, and abundance! And the cool thing is, it is not our business to worry about HOW to do that! It is only our job to worry about WHAT new possibilities and opportunities we want to bring into our lives. You may say that sounds ridiculous, but it is really GREAT news! It is our purpose in this life to CREATE our lives. No one else is more equipped to do this for us. You know your desires better than anyone else so --- What do you love? What type of relationships do you want? What about a vocation? Do you dream of time and money freedoms? What about your health and well-being -- do you set aside time to truly contemplate and be grateful for peace of mind and the gift of health? Clarity is power so be detailed about your longings. Allowing your desires to come to you is so important. This sounds simple but many of us do not let our imaginations flow, or we lack the confidence or feel that we are not worthy of our desires. Stop creating stories or roadblocks that stop you from receiving joy, good feelings, and great results in your life. Often, we are our own worst enemies! Make fear, self-doubt, and unworthiness your friends. Know that when you are fearing or doubting yourself the most, you are closest to your dream or allowing a leap of faith to happen! Know that that intense feeling is letting you know you are ready to leap. What is the worst thing that can happen when you trust or leap or go for it? You might fall, right? So what? Fall, fail, and then get up and move forward and try again. We psych ourselves out with the fear of failure so badly. It is just failure. So what? Get up, dust yourself off and try again, or learn from the fall and take a different action. Practice makes perfect. Deciding what you want is how something comes into being! So imagine, take action, and if you fail, wipe yourself off, and move forward! And this is how we get what we want and reach our great feeling of well-being. Never quit, and happy dreaming!

The buzz of spring is among us as we begin to awaken from the dormant months. The air is a little warmer, the days a little longer; it is the season when the earth becomes alive, sprouting new life all around us. We are reminded that this is a time to rejuvenate our being, looking back at things that may have slipped behind and finding ways to reincorporate and renew. Our journey with food often follows the same pattern -times when we are exactly where we want to be and then times we have fallen off the bandwagon. The beauty of our body is, our cells regenerate. And if we remember this, then falling off the bandwagon doesn’t always seem so bad. We will find success when we aim to rebalance and, depending on how far we have gotten off track, will depend on the intensity of the revised diet. If we want to specifically target healthy cell regeneration, there are a handful of foods that will do the trick. Mushrooms have long been used in TCM (traditional Chinese medicine) and are one of the best sources to protect the liver from cell damage. This is important because our liver helps us filter out toxins and break down hormones. Berries, which are rich in antioxidants, reduce oxidative stress and therefore, inflammation. Ginger, another medicinal powerhouse, helps decrease inflammation by inhibiting the effect of arachidonic acid. When our body is inflamed, disease takes root. The quickest way to neutralize this is through the foods we consume. Nuts and seeds are high in alpha-linolenic acid and contain plant sterols, which fight inflammation. Fatty fish and seafood also contain anti-inflammatory omega 3 and are needed for the brain and heart. Broccoli, as well as cruciferous vegetables, reduce inflammation in the blood. When we treat our body right, the evidence shows in our daily living. Our body is enlivened, it resists disease and we have the fluidity of health which is as it ought to be. And even when we get off track, it is remembering we always have the opportunity to refresh and renew. Allow this spring air to encourage you to revive your body, mind, and soul.

Spiritual Horoscopes By Aluna Michaels, M.A.

isces (Feb. 19 – March 20) — Happy birthday Pisces! As Uranus enters Taurus, get ready for a revolution in your thinking! You study so much about spirituality and positive thoughts, but how well do you do in practice? Right now you can have an almost magical shift that makes it easy to refrain from self-pity or depressive thoughts. Your job is to sustain your new identity as a person with a faith-filled mind rather than a fear-filled brain. All areas will transform from health to relationships, to finances!

ries (March 21 – April 19) — Chiron moves into Aries for the first time in 50 years! Chiron is about healing on physical, emotional and spiritual levels. These next years initiate you into deep powers of manifestation coming from the integrity and strength of your soul. Focus on studies such as yoga, qigong, reiki or meditation. Mercury being retrograde helps you see a quick increase in your intuition and in your feelings of connection with the universe. You can have a financial windfall, physical healing or insights that resolve emotional blocks!

aurus (April 20 – May 20) — Wow! Revolutionary Uranus moves into your sign for seven years, which only happens every 84 years! Celebrate by pondering areas you want to change. Chiron also shifts signs, showing hidden

issues that keep you stuck in undesirable patterns. Write a list of exciting potentials and meditate on those ideas. Really feel what it’ll be like to be this new you! As a Taurus, you’re naturally cautious, but take safe risks that lead to powerful results. You’ll feel vital, empowered and alive! P.S. Even though Uranus is for seven years, take actions now!

emini (May 21 – June 20) — With Mercury retrograde this month, meditate and breathe before you speak or act! You can feel confused about career, but the best way to get clear is with quiet reflection. When your mind is quieter than normal, insights pop into your mind. Deep breathing also works wonders for you in general, but especially now. Make time to spend with friends on a spiritual path who cultivate their intuitive wisdom. Your life will take lovely surprising turns in all areas, not just work!

ancer (June 21 – July 22) — Chiron, the divine healer, is helping you heal from deepest family wounds. It is always possible to change patterns of emotional reactions to people and to life! These painful responses may have held you back financially, intimately or creatively, but mostly they’ve blocked your capacity for joy. If you’ve been feeling distant from the love and care of the universe, use this month’s Mercury retrograde to rewrite your definition of whatever you choose to call God. You’ll feel safer and more trusting in life. You’ll blossom in your sense of purpose in work or home. You’ll be able to freely give and receive love!

irgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22) — With Mercury retrograde, beware of jumping to conclusions with miscommunication in relationships. If you feel hurt or slighted, meditate on the issue and see if it represents a recurring emotional pattern. You can work to heal that pattern through awareness. If you do need to confront your partner, you can do it less defensively. You can clearly describe your experience and create healthy boundaries and guidelines for the future. Also, open your mind to the idea that the universe is abundant and that you’re worthy of receiving finances and pleasure from life!

ibra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22) — As Uranus and Chiron change signs, you’re ushered into a seven-year period of healing about partnerships, sexuality, intimacy, and trust. Meditation reveals what negative thought patterns inhibit you from truly enjoying life and love. Especially watch for picking on yourself! You can also find out about a food allergy that depletes your energy so now you’ll have more vitality. Relationships really flourish as you’re ready to try new ways of experiencing the world. You’re likely to receive major financial gifts or “unexpected income”, so remain open for blessings!

eo (July 23 – Aug. 22) — Uranus changes signs, bringing a revolution in your work life! Even if you don’t change jobs, you’ll feel empowered and inspired in your ability to positively influence others. Just by committing to live from your personal truth and passion that radiates

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

from your heart, others will be shifted. Also, your marriage or relationship will increase trust and intimacy. If single, you can magnetize a loving partnership that represents the new unfolding of your amazing self!

corpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) — Uranus changes signs, giving a jump-start to relationships! Meditate on your deepest values and integrity. Are you acting in ways that align with your heart and soul? Do you need to “raise the bar” on how you and your partner interact? Deep bonds need to radically change in order to flourish. If single, you can meet someone who matches your values in an exciting way. Chiron changes signs too, asking you to respect your body and levels of stress. Scorpios are tough, but March 2019

you have your limits like any human! Allow yourself enough rest. Eat thoughtfully. Have reflection time to re-center your energy. If you have pets, they can be especially healing at this time.

agittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) — Chiron, the spiritual healer, wants to open your heart to your parent or even teenage or adult children. Meditate on the fact that we are all souls on a spiritual path and develop compassion from that perspective. If you’ve been neglecting your health, shift your eating in a radical fun way. It’s a cool experiment to try new veggies, right?! You might also start playing a sport or begin dancing. Also, anything to do with the arts will be super empowering and energizing. Your forgiveness work releases extra joy that’s been covered up for a long time!

apricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) — If you feel you’ve gotten “boring”, Uranus changing signs awakens your fun side! Creativity is so healing to your soul. What sort of activities bring you joy? Dancing, arts, sports, pets, kids? Think about what delighted you when you were little and learn to play again. Also, meditate on how to heal with family so that old burdens don’t weigh you down any longer. “Following your bliss” activates your intuition, leading to financial, health and mood improvements!

quarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) — It’s common for you to feel like an outsider, however, Uranus moving into Taurus wants to change all of that! Meditate on times you were left out of groups. Observe the scene as if you were a loving angel, sweetly sending love and care to the “left out” you. This can re-pattern your nervous system from anger and anxiety and heal old wounds. Each tiny step allows your heart to open more deeply to people in your present who want to love you! You’ll also be able to take in more prosperity and general joy. Keep focusing on what a blessing you are to so many!

Spring Cleaning and Renewal By Miche Lame’

Springtime is an opportunity for the soul’s cleaning, renewal, and revitalization. As the snows melt and the spring rains come, the world looks bright, new and clean. The trees start budding, the first growth starts emerging from mother Gaia, and we start waking up earlier and feeling more energized as the sun becomes more present. We become more physically active as the outdoors is more available and we soak up the warmth and energy of the sun. With spring comes growth, renewal, and revitalization, within and without. And that includes us. This is a chance to start a program of renewal -- revitalization and inner growth, to set our priorities and reconnect with our soul, with spirit. Just as the earth awakens and becomes energized, so can we. It’s really about choice and developing mental, emotional, physical and spiritual habits that focus our energies -- promoting mental clarity, energetic bodies, emotional health, and spiritual connection and well-being. This month lets give some focus to spring cleaning our energy to align with Mother Earth while building-up a store of energy for us and connecting with our soul. Take three deep breaths, focusing on breathing deeply into the belly, using your diaphragm. Breathe in the divine, cleansing light; breathe out any darkness or lower vibration until you experience a lighter vibration, a cleansing. Imagine a ball of divine light above your crown chakra. Placing a finger on your root chakra, breathe in the divine breath into that chakra. Let the energy fill that chakra until you feel complete. Continue up the line of chakras, collecting energy and increasing focus as you go. With consistent practice, you can revitalize and hold your higher vibration as well as cleansing, longer and longer. You increase your ability to focus at the same time. This is also a great time to go even deeper, acknowledging, accepting and then letting go of any emotion or thought that comes up. As you do, you will find yourself connecting with your soul, that highest part of you that is the divine light within -- the part of us that is pure joy. Joy is always with you, no matter where you go or what seems to happen to you. Joy is a part of your core being, I promise you can get there. It’s just a process -- like a seed sprouting into life and blooming -- drawing and collecting energy from the universe.

“Adopting a really positive attitude can work wonders to adding years to your life, a spring to your step, a sparkle to your eye, and all of that.” Christie Brinkley

“With the coming of spring, I am calm again.” Gustav Mahler

“I am going to try to pay attention to the spring. I am going to look around at all the flowers, and look up at the hectic trees. I am going to close my eyes and listen.” Anne Lamott

You start to grow into your own self-realization and become your best self. Your highest self. Springtime is a great time to develop a routine to enhance and grow your mind and spirit. Cleansing the body, thoughts, and emotions with cleansing breaths allows the energy to flow unrestricted within. Keeping to a balanced and healthy diet helps release toxins that also prevent the flow of energy. The release of overprocessed hung onto, toxic emotions and thoughts also help cleanse the body, mind, and emotions, allowing you to connect with your soul, spirit. Developing a time and place for meditation, a routine for healthy eating and exercise can help you achieve your desires for well-being and spiritual connection on your path of joy and self-actualization. Just remember -- if you feel like skipping your routine more than a day, look to your ego’s negative self-talk, and remind yourself how great you feel after meditating and eating properly. Connect with the Divine -- renew all aspects of your life so that you can move forward living, being the divine joy, love and peace that you are.

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

Let’s light the way! By Master Teacher, Guide, and Healer Todd Stockwell

Focus on water and begin again with this chant, Ajhlunawee Now meditate again for 11 minutes.

Hello my friends,

Focus on Earth and begin again with this chant, Truyghgundava

Hope everyone is loving and enjoying the exercises and awakening we’ve been doing this past year and especially the amazing growth that comes with them. I’m running into more and more of you letting me know how valuable these exercises are for you and I am honored to be able to help you all on your paths. It’s very exciting to hear your growth so please make sure to share your experience with me and others. Just as I said last month it is very important at this time to do our highest work, be open to training with someone who can truly help you. The most important thing now is to be in the highest love and light space to reach that next level of consciousness. We have to let go of our lesser selves and truly love ourselves so we can love all and awaken to our highest light form. 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 the heart chakra. As we did in those exercises, let’s begin with expanding that flame outward until it fills the room. Now also focus on a red flame just elow your belly button. Expand them both out and focus on the red mixing with a golden light above your head and creating a golden peach light. Now expand that light to fill the niverse. Lean forward slightly with your head, place your tongue to the roof of your mouth and take three deep breathes. State with conviction to the universe that you’re ready to awaken your highest light form. Focus on the warmth within your heart and just below your belly button expanding even further out.. Now focus on the back of the heart chakra opening up and the back of the flame just below your belly button blasting a flame outward and let your system connect. While focusing on fire start with this chant, Kavoohav Now meditate for 11 minute, set a timer. Focus on air and begin again with this chant, Jjymnummah Now meditate again for 11 minutes.

Now meditate again for 11 minutes and focus entirely on your true path. 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 as possible it will help you, your path, your awakening, your enlightenment and your truest service to the Universe. Remember I am here to help support you and your growth so if you have any questions go to: www.beyond1111.com or www. facebook.com/toddstockwell I look forward to meeting you and hearing about your progress. You can also reach me via e-mail- serendipitylightcenter@ yahoo.com or by phone call: 734-740-9110.

to school. Learn a new language. Learn how to play an instrument. Take better care of yourself. Create an inventory of your health including diet, exercise, genetics and stress level. Begin slowly, one small change at a time so that the years ahead can be lived to your fullest capacity. Become a volunteer and/or mentor. Someone or some project can always benefit from your help and expertise. 3. Start a Practice. Invite mindfulness into your life. A daily practice affords you a timeout from your every day routine. This is a gift to yourself. A spiritual practice might include more time spent within your own religion, such as attending weekly services, or going on a retreat. Or it may include meditation, yoga, or chi gong. Daily exercise can be thought of as a practice, rather than a drudgery. When you connect body with mind and spirit you have broadened your perspective about how you exist in the world. Walking is a wonderful way to help your body while clearing your mind. 4. Be in Nature. The outside world connects us to the cycle of life and the meaning of the seasons. Sometimes, when the world is still and Nature is dormant we need to be quiet and still as well. When the world comes back to life we are reminded that what has been still and quiet within us is ready to germinate and grow again. Walk in Nature. Plant a garden or plant a tree with a young person and watch it grow together. 5. Take a trip. Travel to some new place— a country, state, or some place you’ve never visited. It doesn’t matter how far away you go; find the newness within yourself as you react to a place you’ve never been before. A personal retreat away or a weekend to reflect on your life and what new things you may want to incorporate into your life helps you reestablish balance and sets you on a course for the year to come. A spiritual retreat away from home may give you the time you need to connect intimately with yourself and to unplug from the outside world. Although spring is a good symbolic time to do some “cleaning out” of the old, the reality is that any time of the year that feels right to you is the time to reflect on yourself and the life you find yourself in. Keeping in close touch with yourself allows you to better accomplish what you wish for in your life. The more you know who you are and what you want the more able you are to take the necessary actions and make the necessary course corrections.
