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)

The Silver Thread Kabbalah Day to Day: ON FORGIVENESS

of mankind. Additionally, there is the unpleasantness that bearing a grudge causes us internally…” As people, we come closer to God and heal the world (tiikun olam) through transcending revenge and bringing God’s light to bear on those who suffer. Anger and revenge block that light; forgiveness and compassion illuminate the darkness.

Several years ago, a troubled and deranged man killed five Amish girls and seriously wounded five others. Subsequently, the families and community met to pray for forgiveness for the perpetrator and his family.

Frederic Luskin is Director of the Stanford University Forgiveness Project. He does research and teaches forgiveness training; retraining ourselves to counter the instinctive anger we reflexively feel towards those who have directly hurt us. Developing Forgiveness brings a peacefulness that we can share with others.

Contrast this with the now familiar sight of aggrieved family members standing in courtrooms, wishing the victimizer of their friend or family member a gruesome death or the pain of rotting in prison. The anger that we feel when a loved one has been lost gives birth to the natural dynamic of revenge. Revenge is a form of anger. This was codified in ancient times as the Talion Principle of “an eye for an eye” and represents these primitive and reflective urges. Unchecked, such feelings resulted in repetitive “blood feuds” before more civilized means of dealing with wrongdoing were codified as Law.

Michael Abramsky PhD, ABPP is a licensed psychologist with 35 years of experience treating adolescents and adults for anxiety, depression and trauma.He is nationally Board Certified in both Clinical and Forensic psychology.. Dr. Abramsky also has a MA in Comparative Religions, and has practiced and taught Buddhist Meditation for 25 years.. You may reach him at: 248-644-7398

The Hebrew Kabbalah sees people as imbued with Godly traits. These traits are individually called, Sefirot. Each is a conduit for God’s grace, for the goodness he brings into the world. Each is effectively a counter to the world’s evil. Revenge is a distortion, or the shadow side, of the Sefirot of Netzach. Netzach means victory and is derived from the Hebrew word, menatze’ach, meaning “conductor” or “director”. It is the Sefirot, most applicable to governing the day to day interpersonal world. It is a focused love, the ability to see Gods love manifested toward a particular person who is suffering. Instead of cultivating anger in ourselves and instead of seeking revenge on a perpetrator we, as the Amish did, can counter the evil act by focusing love on those who suffer. Revenge perpetuates evil. In a more cosmic sense, forgiveness helps us touch God by opening our hearts and letting His light in. Nechama Leibowitz has written, “we are all part of one body, one community. If we take vengeance on our fellow man, we are also hurting ourselves. When we bear a grudge against our fellow man, we are hurting ourselves in the same way. A family that is bearing grudges constantly will soon break up. The same is true of the extended family September 2014

FAITH “When you put faith, hope and love together, you can raise positive kids in a negative world.” William Allen White

HOPE POSITIVE THINKING “The positive thinker sees the invisible, feels the intangible, and achieves the impossible.” “Instead of thinking about what you’re missing, try thinking about what you have that everyone else is missing.” “There is little difference in people, but that little difference makes a big difference. The little difference is attitude. The big difference is whether it is positive or negative.” W. Clement Stone

Lessons in Truth Class taught by Reverend Dona Gilsdorf Lessons in Truth by H. Emily Cady Starting September 3rd, 2014 In the last decade of the nineteenth century, three little paperbound pamphlets were published. The pamphlets represented the first appearance in “book form” of a series of twelve lessons that had been printed serially in Unity Magazine. They were the forerunners of literally millions of copies of the book Lessons in Truth by Dr. H. Emilie Cady, which became (and still is) one of Unity’s basic textbook. Rev. Gilsdorf will be teaching this class again this fall, starting on September Third. More information will be available as the time approaches.

World Day of Prayer at Unity Church of Rochester; Thursday, September 11th, 2014

Cosmic Comedy Show Swami Beyondanada, the Cosmic Comic will bring his unique and uplifting comedy to Michigan on Fri, Sept 26th. The laughter begins at 7 pm. at Unity of Livonia, 28660 Five Mile Rd. The show is a FUNdraiser for the Citizens for Peace and Unity of Livonia. Tickets are $20 in advance, or $25 at the door. Call 734-425-0079 or 734-421-1760. Swami Beyondananda is the alter ego of writer, humorist and workshop leader, Steve Bhaerman. The Swami, whose favorite yoga pose is tongue-in-cheek, is the spokesperson for a new non-religion, FUNdamentalism (accent on "fun"). Says the Swami, "We are strictly non-dominational." When Steve decided to pursue comedy as a full-time career in 1985, the Swami was the obvious vehicle. Audiences have delighted in the Swami’s "comedy disguised as wisdom" and "wisdom disguised as comedy". Attendees will have the opportunity to ask the Swami answerable questions, and receive his “questionable answers”. He can be found online at www.wakeuplaughing.com.

Please join us on Thursday, September 11, 2014, as we celebrate Unity’s World Day of Prayer. This year’s theme is “We Are the Light of the World—Let Your Light Shine.” All are welcome to join us as we amp up the power of prayer to shine the light of love and compassion in the world. Here at Unity Church of Rochester we will meet at 11:00 am to read aloud the names listed on the prayer request sheets that are available in the Narthex. The spoken word raises the vibration of our prayers. At 7:00 in the evening there will be a 45-60 minute guided meditation in the sanctuary led by Danielle Boes. All are welcome to attend these events!

This year, for the first time, we will symbolize the power of our united prayers by asking people everywhere to light a virtual candle at www.worlddayofprayer.org. The candles will be displayed as points of light on a global map.” The virtual candlelighting experience will continue through September 11 Local events to include Unity of Livonia Prayer Service at 6:30 pm, Sept. 11th.

8 Body Mind Spirit Guide | September 2014

Healing and Blessing Your Food Have you ever picked a piece of fruit off a vine or tree and bit right into it; experienced its perfect ripeness bursting with aliveness and flavor? Have you tasted organic vegetables picked fresh from the garden? Have you ever dug clams out of the mud, pulled crabs out of the ocean and cooked them over a fire before they even needed refrigeration? These are foods full of life and flavor, energy and potency, tender and delicious. This is how food was created to be. The food on our groceries shelves has little resemblance to fresh food. It is old, chemically treated, genetically modified, etc. However, I am grateful that we have it and I would love to share some little secrets for refreshing this old food so it carries more of its natural gifts to your table and your pallet! All living things have an angel that carries the essence of their truest expression of life. You can call on the angel of what you are eating or drinking and invite it to work with God, the earth and sun to heal, bless and re-energize your food and water. Then when you eat and drink you can be truly nourished and energized too! Try the exercise below and experience the difference. Once you’re experienced, it takes only a moment or two. 1- Breath into your body and give yourself a big hug inside, like the best hug you ever had; all the way down to your toes and up to the top of your head. This brings you into your body and the present moment so you can be a focus for healing. 2- Allow your breath to carry your focus September 2014

of attention into the middle of your chest and your heart chakra. Invite your heart chakra to open to unconditional love. 3- Place your hands a few inches to the left and right of your food or drink with the palms facing toward your food and drink. 4- Breathing into your heart and body, open your heart and silently acknowledge the angel of each item and thank it for the wonderful, life giving qualities of each different food or drink. Give thanks for them and for the earth and the sun that nurtured them. (You may also add the farmers, truckers and grocers that brought them to you.) 5- Ask angels, earth, sun and God to forgive the long time since they were harvested and any non-organic or unloving practices that brought them to you. 6- Ask that the food and drink be healed better than if they had been fully ripened, organically raised and freshly harvested, loved and respected; that they be filled with the love, joy, flavor and nutrition that their angel carries as the true expression of their life. If you are eating someone else’s cooking, give thanks for the cooks and servers; ask that any unloving energy from them be cleared. 7- Breathe into your body and open to the responding energy which will bless and heal your food and drink. Give thanks for the gift of nourishment and the healing gifts you have received through this work. If you are the shopper and the cook, you can do this while you are cooking, or even bless the full refrigerator and everything in it once you put your groceries away. Request that the food stay fresh and unspoiled until eaten. Then you can enjoy the benefits 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

throughout the week as you prepare your meals! Also do your pitcher of filtered water. It makes a huge difference to your energy, vitality and joy when what you eat and drink is filled with life, energy and joy! The gift of food and drink can be so easily taken for granted. It can almost as easily be honored, blessed and healed; and in so doing you honor, bless and heal yourself and those you feed. Eating is the receiving of a life given by another. Some think the life of vegetables is not as much of a loss as that of animals. For me, since I’ve had amazingly enlightening conversations with plants, as well as with animals, I don’t really see the difference. To live, we take life. Honoring that life is an important act for our evolution of soul, in addition to being an important gift to ourselves and those we feed. It raises our consciousness beyond simple need when we offer respect for the eternal nature of all things. Each living thing has a soul which is eternal. The death of that thing frees the soul to return to its natural environment in spirit. That too is a gift, greater than the loss of the life here on earth. So when you bless your food, you honor that eternal spirit. The angel present within each food item will carry your blessing to the spiritual soul of the food while it blesses what you eat. This is truly a mutual gift and blessing that can warm your soul with gratitude for another day of being nourished in your life.

Flower of Life Center for Human Evolution announces Conscious Youth Group

“A Journey of Self-Discovery: Meditation Series” at Schoolcraft College Con’t. Ed.

As the energies and consciousness of our planet are shifting, there is a need for a gathering of like-minded youth that allows them freedom of expression and an opportunity to discover and pursue a spiritual path. The Flower of Life Center for Human Evolution has added a new program, just for children. Conscious Youth is exclusively for kids aged 9 to 18 who are highly intuitive, psychic, empathic, telepathic, spiritually gifted or interested in these topics. The goal is to provide a forum for sharing experiences in a safe, fun and friendly environment, as well as a foundation for learning how to develop and grow your energetic, spiritual and intuitive gifts to live a more happy, healthy life. The group is run and taught from a spiritually organic point of view and not a class where attendees are told what to do. We encourage the participants to share ideas and drive the discussion topics, speakers and activities they are most interested in, with adult guidance and support. The meeting format includes a social time, as well as guest speakers and demonstrations on topics such as spirituality, consciousness, raw foods, yoga, channeling/mediumship, telepathy, energy and vibration and meditation. Meetings are held twice per month at Soul Space in Rochester Hills. To join us, please contact Micheila Sheldan at 248-491-8333 or visit our website at www.floweroflifecenter.org.

Prayer – The Bringer of Miracles Prayer is to the soul, like breathing is to the body - it is completely natural, and we need to do it. As my Spiritual Master, Dr. George King said: Prayer is a song of the soul and the soul wants to sing. As prayer is a natural expression of one’s soul, and since everyone on Earth has a soul - it follows that it is a common thread; a common denominator in all religions. If we’re seeking religious unity, as many are, let’s begin with prayer. Every religion has a different method of prayer but it’s about contacting and expressing that God spark within you; that aspect of Divinity within all of us. Prayer is like our own personal hotline. It’s not to the President of the country; it is a hotline to something far greater – God Itself. When we make that call, we activate the God within and can draw through us the power of God – the miracle-making energy of Love. There is nothing we cannot heal, achieve or master with prayer.

The problem with prayer is that, just like breathing, people generally think it's something we just do and that's it. With breathing, we learn through yoga that, when we use our lungs fully in a controlled way through pranayama and breathing practices, it harmonizes and vitalizes us, improving our health and all aspects of our life. It is a similar thing with prayer. I worked at King’s College London, a renowned theological college where three hundred men were training to be priests. Even there, however, prayer was never taught. If we were training to be an opera singer, for example, we would spend hours and hours training our voice, our enunciation, our expression of feeling, etc. Powerful prayer, however, is somehow taken for granted.

Dr. King realized this. He was not only a Spiritual Master; he was an expert and an adept in prayer. He knew that prayer - although a natural part of us - can be greatly improved and enhanced. He devised a technique, which he termed dynamic prayer and this can be learned by us all simply and effectively. Dr. King’s prayer technique is the heart and soul of the book Gary and I wrote entitled Power Prayer. As an adept in prayer, Dr. King taught what prayer is and how we can use it - not so much to get things - but to give to give healing to others, and to the world. It is a marvelous tool we all have. We are channels for this wonderful energy which comes from God and the more we train ourselves and the more we add our love to this energy, it becomes a magical elixir that can heal the world.

Please visit our site for upcoming events

It may seem strange that prayer is something that can be taught, and improved. However, we can prove this for ourselves with the following simple exercise. Say the following prayer out loud with all the feeling you can muster, with your hands palms together using the normal mode of prayer. Now repeat the prayer a second time, this time raising your hands with the palms facing outwards. You may feel the difference in energy output. This is just one aspect of dynamic prayer. Oh Mighty God, Who is the Creator of All Things, We pray that Your Light May shine through us all, So that we may transmit this unto the World. (c The Aetherius Society. From The Twelve Blessings, Dr. George King) Prayer is energy, just as we are. When we release the energy of love into the world through prayer, we are helping to heal the chaotic conditions on the surface of this planet. The more powerfully we can do this, the more we can make a difference. Also, by the great Law of action and reaction, Karma, the results of our healing prayer are returned to us. Please join me on Friday, September 26 for the Satsang on the topic of Power Your Prayer! Where I will share some prayer secrets and teach a technique of prayer that will help to potentize your spiritual life in all ways. (Please see ad for further information).

Some risk factors, such as family history (which is only 10%), can't be changed. However, there are lifestyle changes you can make to lower your risk. Lifestyle changes have been shown in studies to decrease breast cancer risk even in high-risk women. The following are steps you can take to lower your risk: Be physically active. Physical activity can help you maintain a healthy weight, which, in turn, helps prevent breast cancer. Breast-feed. Breast-feeding may play a role in breast cancer prevention. The longer you breast-feed, the greater the protective effect. Control your weight. Being overweight or obese increases the risk of breast cancer. This is especially true if obesity occurs later in life, particularly after menopause. Limit dose and duration of hormone therapy. Combination hormone therapy for more than three to five years increases the risk of breast cancer.

detection will not prevent breast cancer, but it can help find it when the likelihood of successful treatment is greatest. Being able to see the very first beginnings of a possible disease process before it becomes a medical problem is essential to living a long and healthy life. Thermography is an important imaging tool of prevention. Natural health and Ayurvedic medicine all focus on a proactive approach to your health. Thermography helps guide us to the areas in your body that are asking for help; often times long before traditional tests or other imaging techniques can detect a possible problem. With thermography as your regular screening tool, it's likely that you would have the opportunity to make adjustments to your diet, beliefs and lifestyle to transform your cells before they became cancerous â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a true prevention strategy.

Stadium Blvd., Suite C, Ann Arbor, MI, 48103. 734-845-4294 vist their webesite at: www.greenhealththermography.com.

Reduce alcohol consumption. The more alcohol you drink, the greater your risk of developing breast cancer. Avoid smoking. Accumulating evidence suggests a link between smoking and breast cancer risk, particularly in premenopausal women. Avoid restrictive bra, aluminum deodorant and start hand massage or dry-brushing in the armpits to stimulate lymph systems. Choose organic vegetables, fruits, and fish oils or flaxseed oil for Omega-3. Avoid red meat and chicken with hormones; white flour and sugar; Sodas, caffeine, and artificial sweeteners. Establish a sleep routine and reduce stress (yoga, meditation, massage works). Avoid exposure to radiation (as much as possible) and environmental pollution. Medical-imaging methods, such as computerized tomography, use high doses of radiation, which have been linked with breast cancer risk. Schedule an annual physical examination by a doctor and perform monthly breast self-examination. Establish a routine annual breast screening, including Thermography. Early Screening Other than lifestyle changes, the most important action a woman can take is to screen for early detection. Early September 2014

Breaking Addictions: Neurotransmitters and Embodied Practice Embodied Practice addresses our energetic development at the root of addictions to sugar, carbohydrates, smoking, marijuana, other drugs, exercise, working, shopping and technology. Neurotransmitters are the brain chemicals, like serotonin, dopamine and norepinephrine that regulate mood, anxiety, sleep and more. When balanced, they give us functional coping skills, and a sense of calm and wellbeing. Addictions make a change in our neurotransmitters, giving us a temporary experience of neurotransmitter balance. As that balance wanes, we are then vulnerable to returning over and over again to the same addictive process. Embodied Practice classes and individual sessions, can over time, create a stable neurotransmitter balance, a state of calm, and the functional coping skills, along with the absence of cravings that accompany it. How the Embodied Practice allows us to work with trauma, gives us one example of how this process works. Unresolved trauma, resulting in panic, stress, or physical pain, lives energetically in the body, and calls for the body to use more dopamine. Dopamine, a neurotransmitter that creates a sense of pleasure and well-being, reduces our sense of pain. Trauma that is not energetically released, overuses dopamine, leaving the body low in that neurotransmitter. Certain addictions create the experience in the body of having more dopamine, giving us that longed for sense of calm and well-being.) Traumatic experiences, for example, leave an energetic imprint in the body’s energy centers, or vortexes, and impact how cells, like neurons,

function. A well-functioning vortex supports and determines physical health on many levels. Kiera Laike’s theory and practice of Sensology describes this process, detailing the 7 main vortexes in the body, each with four distinct layers. When specific layers of the specific vortexes are well developed, they support, for example, the immune, thyroid or endocrine system, as well as the health of the body. “Each developed embodied vortex is like a unique song or vibration singing to specific organs or biological processes in the body. For example, a well-developed 5th Vortex from the Earth Body layer determines how the thyroid gland functions and the conversion of T3 and T4 in the body.” Kiera D. Laike, IRW Major events like war, abuse, physical illness, a humiliating experience, the loss of a loved one, a job or home can create trauma. A teenager for example, that experienced trauma, and never energetically released it, may experience panic, stress or physical pain. These experiences call for the body to use more dopamine. Kiera explains, “Dopamine acts in an inhibitory way to disassociate one from the traumas. So, to cope with trauma the brain utilizes more dopamine, usually leaving that person low in dopamine, depressed, fatigued with decreased ability to function in their daily life. Doing the Embodied Practice or healings gives a soul orientation to the 6th Vortex, which occupies the hypothalamus pituitary axes in the center of the brain. This heals the body’s response to trauma, allowing for normal use and production of dopamine to return.” Below is the real life story of a client of Abbe’s who was aided in recovery from addiction and depression through the Embodied Practice work.

“When Trevor first came to see me, he was in his mid-20’s, smoked marijuana almost daily for 6 years, had failed out of college and was clinically depressed, living back at home, fighting with his parent, sometimes explosively. He stayed up late, slept late and spent much of his time with technology. He was attending biweekly sessions with a psychologist, and monthly sessions with a psychiatrist. His parents had him in a variety of psychological and psychiatric treatments, over the past eight years, including one hospitalization. They were beside themselves. They felt helpless, anxious and impatient. Trevor craved that calm sense he temporarily got from smoking marijuana, and had no other way to get it. During the next seven months as we activated his soul essence energy and his seven main vortexes, he gained functional coping skills for releasing the energy of stress and anxiety. He attended individual Embodied Sessions with Abbe including the Sensology based protocols for balancing the energy at the root of neurotransmitter imbalances. He became calmer and less explosive. Slowly his cravings for marijuana decreased, and he stopped smoking. His psychologist decreased and then discontinued his sessions, seeing no current need. His psychiatrist took him off two of the three medications. He continued to see me for a few months, solidifying his Embodied Practice skills as he enrolled in a different college, got a job, decreased the arguments at home, and maintained a calmer and more grounded self.” Experience an Embodied Practice class and begin to understand your energetic relationship to addictions.

Preserve Your Vision! The ability to see is one of our greatest assets next to the ability to think and reason. All of our senses are fantastic because they help us connect with the world. Seeing helps us to know where we are, to know if we’re in danger or in the presence of friends. To truly understand the importance of vision, think how difficult it would be to get along without it. This article is a tribute to those who have lost their vision, and a reminder for everyone else that vision is not something to take for granted. Vision is the result of light reflecting off an object. This reflected light goes back through the lens of the eye where it is focuses on the back of the eye where there are special types of light sensitive nerves. The nerves that are called cones respond to colored light. Those that respond to black and white light are called rods. The cones concentrate in the back center of the eye in the macula and the rods tend to surround the macula. The stimulation of the rods and cones generate electrical signals carried by the optic nerves to the brain where they are interpreted into what we see. The optic nerve is one of the 12 cranial nerves that exit the brain at the back of the head. It is located between the first and second cervical vertebra. The motor nerves for the muscles in and around the eyes also follow this path. This is why certain eye problems may be improved with chiropractic adjusting. An eye disorder that I had with one of my eyes as a child was solved this way. This was my first personal chiropractic miracle which helped reinforce my decision to become a chiropractor. Cataracts are a problem for many older adults. It is a disease process that begins in the lens when the clear protein of the lens denatures. To envision what this looks like, imagine cooking an egg white that starts clear and ends up white. As this protein lens becomes opaque or cloudy white, it is difficult to see through. Denaturing often results from oxidizing chemicals in the environment, toxins in the body that stem from drugs or other toxic substances such as bad food, cigarettes or other smoked products, or even leaky microwave ovens or other microwaves. Avoiding these things and consuming antioxidants are on the list of antidotes. Macular degeneration is another huge area of concern.

Remember that the macula is the area on the back of the eye where the light coming through the lens focuses. The area between the lens and the back of the eye is filled with a clear gel, called the vitreous humor. There is a flow through the eye of this jelly-like substance which carries oxygen to the cells within the eye. If the ductwork, called the Canal of Schlemm, gets plugged up by particles of hard or soft fat, the oxygen is used up. When this oxygen is used up, cones and rods begin to die, and eyesight is lost. The two forms of macular degeneration are wet and dry. The wet form progresses faster and is often found in those who smoke. The dry form involves the shrinkage of nerves. The problem is related to a lack of proper vitamins and minerals leading to this degeneration as well as inflammation. The time to fix this problem is before it’s a problem. Another vision problem is glaucoma. While most people think that it is only a pressure problem in the eye, many people with high inner-ocular pressure don’t get glaucoma. Inflammation, poor diets, and a deficiency of hyaluronic acid and other neuro-chemicals that make up the collagen structure or the “glue” of the tissues in the body are more causative factors (Blaylock Wellness Report, August 2014). This is important information for those people who see “floaters” or flashes of light in their eyes which takes place when the gel of the eye stars to shrink and pull away from the back of the eye. In some cases, this problem will dissipate with time. In other cases, it may lead to pealing the retina off the back of the eye which could lead to blindness if left untreated. Supplementing with Hyaluronic acid and glucosamine can help. Other flashes of light in the eye are due to what is known as a visual migraine headache. A good diet is essential for keeping your eyes healthy. Especially important are special nutrients called carotenoids. Two of the best nutrients identified for eye health are lutein and zeaxanthin. They are found in kale, spinach, broccoli, collard greens, green leafy vegetable, peas, and eggs. For the best nutritional absorption, your vegetables can be put through a blender. Eat at least 2 non-scrambled eggs per week along with lots of brightly colored vegetables, either raw or steamed. Parboil cruciferous vegetables such as Brussels sprouts, broccoli, and cabbage to neutralize the goitrogens that interfere with thyroid function. Take your omega-3 oil, at least 3 grams / day, and your whole food supplements, especially B complex, C, and zinc. On the flip side, a bad diet is actually harmful. Foods that

Avoid artificial sweeteners (i.e. Aspartame), corn syrup, HFCS (high fructose corn syrup), unhealthy omega-6 oils, fluoride, and foods with herbicides or pesticides. Like MSG, most of these chemicals excite the neurons in the eyes, heart, and colon as well as other parts of the body to the point of exploding and destroying the cells themselves which can result in temporary or permanent blindness.

Why Go To Church? A Church goer wrote a letter to the editor of a newspaper and complained that it made no sense to go to church every Sunday. "I've gone for 30 years now," he wrote, "and in that time I have heard something like 3,000 sermons. But for the life of me, I can't remember a single one of them. So, I think I'm wasting my time and the pastors are wasting theirs by giving sermons at all." This started a real controversy in the "Letters to the Editor" column, much to the delight of the editor. It went on for weeks until someone wrote this clincher: "I've been married for 30 years now. In that time my wife has cooked some 32,000 meals. But, for the life of me, I cannot recall the entire menu for a single one of those meals. But I do know this. They all nourished me and gave me the strength I needed to do my work. If my wife had not given me these meals, I would be physically dead today. Likewise, if I had not gone to church for nourishment, I would be spiritually dead today!" When you are DOWN to nothing..... God is UP to something! Faith sees the invisible, believes the incredible and receives the impossible! Thank God for our physical AND our spiritual nourishment!

Dreaming Dreams

Healing Energy, LLC

I have a friend named Monty Roberts who owns a horse ranch. He has let me use his house to put on fund-raising events to raise money for youth at risk programs. The last time I was there he introduced me by saying: “I want to tell you why I let Jack use my horse. It all goes back to a story about a young man who was the son of an itinerant horse trainer who would go from stable to stable, race track to race track, farm to farm and ranch to ranch, training horses. As a result, the boy’s high school career was continually interrupted. When he was a senior, he was asked to write a paper about what he wanted to be and do when he grew up.” “That night he wrote a seven-page paper describing his goal of someday owning a horse ranch. He wrote about his dream in great detail and he even drew a diagram of a 200-acre ranch, showing the location of all the buildings, the stables and the track. Then he drew a detailed floor plan for a 4,000-square-foot house that would sit on a 200-acre dream ranch.” “He put a great deal of his heart into the project and the next day he handed it in to his teacher. Two days later he received his paper back. On the front page was a large red F with a note that read, `See me after class.’” “The boy with the dream went to see the teacher after class and asked, `Why did I receive an F?’” “The teacher said, `This is an unrealistic dream for a young boy like you. You have no money. You come from an itinerant family. You have no resources. Owning a horse ranch requires a lot of money. You have to buy the land. You have to pay for the original breeding stock and later you’ll have to pay large stud fees. There’s no way you could ever do it.’ Then the teacher added, `If you will rewrite this paper with a more realistic goal, I will reconsider your grade.’” “The boy went home and thought about it long and hard. He asked his father what he should do. His father said, `Look, son, you have to make up your own mind on this. However, I think it is a very important decision for you.’ Finally, after sitting with it for a week, the boy turned in the same paper, making no changes at all. He stated, ‘You can keep the F and I’ll keep my dream.’” Monty then turned to the assembled group and said, “I tell you this story because you are sitting in my 4,000-square-foot house in the middle of my 200-acre horse ranch. I still have that school paper framed over the fireplace.” He added, “The best part of the story is that two summers ago that same schoolteacher brought 30 kids to camp out on my ranch for a week. When the teacher was leaving, the teacher said, ‘Look, Monty, I can tell you this now. When I was your teacher, I was something of a dream stealer. During those years I stole a lot of kids’ dreams. Fortunately you had enough gumption not to give up on yours.’” “Don’t let anyone steal your dreams. Follow your heart, no matter what.” Dream on.... - Author Unknown but apprecaited! September 2014

20 Body Mind Spirit Guide | September 2014

Take a Moment to Tone-Up! I'd like to share with you my, "No Exercising, Exercise Plan." I thought I would start with what may be the slowest area of the body to show results, but the area I get the most inquires about from women over 30. More than any other area, even abs, many women want to know how to improve the upper arm with stronger muscle tone and look better in sleeveless shirts in the summer. For the type A highly motivated people, I usually suggest they seek a professional trainer. I’m not a health professional and I avoid gyms. This seems a bit silly and I only shared it because friends asked me several times. They also wanted to know how long it would take to see results. When I answered that it would take a minimum of 6 months to a year, I was often met with ridicule. One person told me that it was ridiculous to wait 6 months to see results. I politely asked if she still planned to have her arms in 6 months. A funny look crossed her face. She said, “I think I love you, show me again”. That is my premise. I just want to feel good and have adequate muscle tone without the gym. I hope to live in my body up to 100 health-filled years. Jim Rohn said, “Take care of your body, it’s where you live.” I take the all-in-one Youngevity supplements and that controls the urge to overindulge in ‘descendant’ foods, which helps keep my weight down. Plus as Dr. Wallach says, “Your body requires all 90 essential nutrients to build and repair on a daily basis.” I keep my ORAC count up high with diet and add a few high ORAC antioxidants from Youngevity when I can’t manage to eat as healthy as I plan. (ORAC is a September 2014

and tells his friends, “My mom thinks she can work out one minute at a time.” I usually do the arm flexing a couple of times before I set objects down. Use caution with liquid and/or heavy items. I always lift the glass milk container at least 3 or 4 times up and down before I set it down -- but I don’t lift that one over my head! .

way of counting the antioxidant effect of a food or supplement. See earlier BMS articles.) Between the high ORAC diet and Youngevity supplements, I believe my body is rebuilding correctly at the cellular level and as Edgar Cayce said, it takes 7 years. My friend Bob taught exercise classes. This man practices what he teaches and is the fittest senior citizen I know and I hope to interview him for future articles. This is what I learned from Bob to keep my upper arms toned, but still avoid the gym: Every time you pick up something small and easy to lift, do a few arm curls with it. When I pick up cans of food, or other lightweight objects, I slowly lift it straight out in front of me and then straight-up over my head. Then if it is not too unwieldy or going to spill, I bend my arm at the elbow bringing the object behind my head. Bob explained this would exercise the muscles at the back of the upper arm. It is very important to make sure you are working the correct muscle groups in the arm. Most people only exercise the biceps in front. He told me by keeping the arm straight up and bringing the hand down and up slowly, I am flexing and using those muscles that are so difficult for women to exercise well. “Mom, what on earth are you doing raising that can of coffee above your head” was a common refrain, but now my son ignores my exercise with food moments 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

I am in my car quite a bit, so I do more arm flexing there. When I stop at red lights I put my hand over my head, behind the headrest, and tense and flex those muscles. It's as if I am going to pull forward on the headrest, but I don't put a lot of pressure on the actual headrest. I try to hold the tension at least 10 seconds. I usually manage to do a few repetitions before the light changes. If I am driving in the city and am stopped by several lights, I will exercise both arms, but usually focus on my non-dominate arm that was showing signs of losing muscle tone before I started the no exercising, exercises. It probably looks silly, but I am practicing being in the moment and ignoring the others. Start now, See how your arms feel by next summer. If you have tips on arm exercises, please send them my way. Thank you, I enjoy reading comments and suggestions. Have a healthy, fun and fit life. Bett Hines Youngevity Health Products www.MineralGirl.com

Rapid Weight-Loss Made Easy

sugar cravings, brain fog, depression and chronic fatigue. Mostly I wanted to lose weight and get healthy. In one week I lost 10 lbs. And in my 2nd week, I lost 12 lbs., and in my third week I lost another 8 lbs. I feel amazing. I now have lots of energy, no sugar cravings and the brain fog is I lost 100 lbs. the first year after gastric gone. I’m no longer depressed or constipated. Dr. Reggish bypass surgery, but then I didn’t lose is a blessing. anything for a year later. I heard about Dr. Barb N., Toledo, Ohio Reggish and his nutritional testing for $45. I decided to try his weight loss program. The first time I met Dr Reggish, I cried for almost an Doc told me what foods I was allergic to and hour telling him about all my health problems.

22 Body Mind Spirit Guide | September 2014

Can’t Lose Weight This May Shock You! They say that the more calories you consume, the more weight you will gain, right? At least that’s the modern weightcontrol theory, which is based on the idea that weight loss is a simple mathematical formula of consuming fewer calories than you use up. There are calculations showing that if you eat a small snack every day that exceeds your caloric expense for that day, you could gain several pounds in a year, based on the few extra calories in that snack. Current low-fat diets are based on this theory, as, gram for gram; fats are the most calorie-dense foods. The problem is it’s not working. Americans now consume dozens of low-fat products, from milk to cereals to pizza, and yet we are gaining weight at an astonishing rate. It is estimated that fully three-quarters of Americans are overweight. (Technically, 33 percent of adults are overweight; statistics separate overweight adults from obese adults. The 75 percent is the sum of overweight, obese, and extremely obese adults.) And we are gaining weight fast. Everybody knows we need to be more active and exercise more. But there is tremendous disagreement — and confusion — when it comes to what is a healthy, weight-regulating diet. There is evidence that diet is the main driver for our national weight problem. From a wellness perspective, weight control is not nearly as simple as calories in, weight on. Our weight is regulated primarily by hormones that are strongly influenced by the foods we eat. What’s the biggest culprit for putting on weight? Insulin. This hormone is known primarily for lowering blood sugar after a meal heavy in carbs. But it does so by storing many of the extra calories as fat. It also stops the body’s use of fat as a fuel. So September 2014

if you are exercising to try to lose weight, but have high insulin levels from a recent carb-based meal, the insulin will prevent your body from accessing the fat stores. Even more important than weight regulation for many people are appetite and cravings control. Many of my patients who are trying to improve their diets complain not so much about being hungry as craving sweets and carbrich foods such as doughnuts, pastries and soda. The problem is that carbs are literally addictive for some people, especially highly refined carbs like sugar and white flour products. Dr. David Kessler, former head of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and author of, “The End of Overeating,” also implicates foods high in salt and processed fats as being addictive. Healthy fats are not addictive, but processed ones are, especially Trans fats. Dr. Kessler reviewed a study in which rats that were offered high-fat, sugary foods showed signs of addiction, almost equal to that of cocaine. The lead author of the study, Dr. Paul Kenny, commented, “In the study, the animals completely lost control over their eating behavior, the primary hallmark of addiction. They continued to overeat even when they anticipated receiving electric shocks, highlighting just how motivated they were to consume the palatable food.” When the “junk foods” were removed and healthy options were offered, many of the rats simply refused to eat. Does this sound like a 5-year-old having a sugar tantrum? Studies have shown sugar to have potent effects on brain chemistry, affecting the opioid and dopamine receptors that are associated with mood and addiction. Sugar is a short-term analgesic, which means it actually relieves pain. Some researchers go so far as to call it a drug. Based on this information, I do not recommend most patients use the “eat 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

all foods in moderation” idea. If a food is addictive, the only way to avoid “setting off” the addiction is to avoid that food completely for a short time until the addiction is gone. A qualified Wellness Doctor can take you through this process. I recommend patients stick to the basic rules of nutrition I was taught 32 years ago in Chiropractic College: Eat only whole, intact foods; avoid the more processed “foods” containing sugars and high-fructose corn syrup; white flour products; and soda. It can be a difficult transition — these foods are everywhere, especially during the holidays. So many patients do well in improving their diets and notice great health gains, only to find that after a piece of birthday cake they end up on a “junk food” binge for two weeks. The best weapon I can give my patients against overeating and obesity is knowledge; the facts about hormones and weight regulation and the problems with low-fat diets, but mostly the addictive nature of refined carbs. People who have a hard time quitting carbs are not weak willed — the problem is the foods themselves. They are literally addictive, and food manufacturers are doing everything they can to keep them that way. This is why I always test my patients for food allergies before putting them on a weight loss program. If you’re allergic to foods, then you’ll crave these foods and you’ll never lose weight.

The Important Things in Life A philosophy professor stood before his class with some items on the table in front of him. When the class began, wordlessly he picked up a very large and empty mayonnaise jar and proceeded to fill it with rocks, about 2 inches in diameter.

He then asked the students if the jar was full. They agreed that it was. So the professor then picked up a box of pebbles and poured them into the jar. He shook the jar lightly. The pebbles, of course, rolled into the open areas between the rocks. He then asked the students again if the jar was full. They agreed it was. The professor picked up a box of sand and poured it into the jar. Of course, the sand filled up the remaining open areas of the jar.

Catholic Horses

4 Pathways to Your Master Teachers-

Mitch, a hard-shell Southern Baptist, loved to sneak away to the race track. One day he was there betting on the ponies and losing his shirt when he noticed a priest step out onto the track and bless the forehead of one of the horses lining up for the 4th race. Lo and behold, this horse -- a very long shot -- won the race. Mitch was most interested to see what the priest did the next race. Sure enough, he watched the priest step out onto the track as the horses for the fifth race lined up, and placed a blessing on the forehead of one of the horses. Mitch made a beeline for the window and placed a small bet on the horse. Again, even though another long shot, the horse the priest had blessed won the race. Mitch collected his winning and anxiously waited to see which horse the priest bestowed his blessing on for the 6th race. The priest showed, blessed a horse, Mitch bet on it, and it won! Mitch was elated! As the day went on, the priest continued blessing one of the horses, and it always came in first. Mitch began to pull in some serious money, and by the last race, he knew his wildest dreams were going to come true. He made a quick stop at the ATM, withdrew big money and awaited the priest's blessing that would tell him which horse to bet on. True to his pattern, the priest stepped out onto the track before the last race and blessed the forehead, eyes, ears and hooves of one of the horses. Mitchell bet every cent, and watched the horse come in dead last.

Paranormal Obsession … It’s been a long day. At last you settle your weary body down into your favorite chair. Ah, it feels so good. As you sip some tea, your eyes wander toward the window and catch a glimpse at the last moments of the beautiful sunset. Darkness is slowly creeping in. Everything is still. A calm and peaceful feeling fills the room. You decide that tonight's the night to rescue that Stephen King novel from the table and finally finish it. Was that a tapping sound in the hallway? You look up, but now there’s only silence. Must have been your imagination. You pick up the book, search for your spot and continue reading. Soon there’s a knock on the wall. What was that? You know you heard something that time. Both ears perk up at attention. Oh, it was obviously just the dog. But then something touches your foot. You nervously peer over your shoulder. There’s the little guy snuggling up next to you. So why didn’t he hear that? Oh, this is ridiculous. Of course, the old imagination is running wild. You’re reading that book. So you decide to forego any more nonsense and put the book away for tonight. Perhaps it’s better to read it tomorrow morning. What’s one more day anyway? Besides, the light will be better for your eyes. Maybe you’ll watch TV instead. Ya, that’s a good idea. You pick up the remote and surf through the channels. Something interesting catches your eye. It’s one of those paranormal programs. You can’t seem to get enough. It’s all so intriguing. Soon you forget about the sounds. You get comfortable in the

chair and try to relax once more.

actually souls of loved ones. 20% believe in reincarnation.

Suddenly, there’s a cold spot next to your fingers. You wave your hand around trying to determine exactly where the cold is originating. Who’s there? Feeling foolish, you reach for the blanket and cover up instead.

So it seems most people feel it’s perfectly natural for us to explore the paranormal. It fuels our curiosity and helps us better understand the afterlife. It calms our fears knowing that we have some control. But why do some people become totally obsessed with it? Why do they act as if they are addicted? Perhaps it’s the result of the brain chemistry.

Has this ever happened to you? Come on, it’s ok to admit it. You’re not alone. So many of us have a hunger for a scary book or movie. We love to watch the mediums and investigators on TV every week. In fact, I’ll tell you a little secret about myself. I schedule my activities around my favorite shows. And if you call me during that time, don’t expect me to answer the phone. Obsessed? Maybe. Why are we obsessed with the paranormal? Why is it that we have so many questions? What is this insatiable thirst for knowledge that is unquenchable no matter of how much information we absorb? Regardless of your age or where you live, we all hold one thing in common. We tend to fear uncertainly. We become preoccupied with the unknown. However, our preoccupation with the unknown is really nothing new. Throughout history people have always wanted to believe there is something beyond the veil. Researchers have found that the #1 fear people have is death. Could it be that our own mortality frightens us to a point? What happens to us after we die? Is there indeed some afterlife beyond the veil? Are we able to communicate with those who have passed? Are they able to touch us? Do we reincarnate? Did you know that 75% of Americans believe in spirits, haunting, clairvoyance and telepathy? 71% claim to have had a paranormal experience. 56% believe spirits are

At the first sign of fear, the body sends a signal that begins in the amygdala region of the brain. A chemical called glutamate is dispensed to other areas of the brain. The body either freezes up or involuntarily jumps. A second signal is sent to the hypothalamus area. This is where our system is put into fight-or-flight mode. Our heart rate and blood pressure elevate. Adrenaline is pumped throughout the body. You feel as though you are a super hero. But everyone has a different chemical response to thrilling or frightful situations. Another one of the hormones released during this time is dopamine. This gives the brain a “high” and a feeling of euphoria. Some people get a greater reaction from the dopamine response than others. Their brain tends to release a greater amount of the hormone. So in effect, they crave more and more as would a person with an addiction. This would explain why it’s sometimes difficult to control. No doubt the paranormal will continue to captivate us. How could it not with the massive surgence of TV programs and movies about the subject? The important things to remember are to proceed with caution, respect the spirits you encounter and to quote a famous man, “Be careful out there!” Cheryl L.

originates from the sea. Larimar was made popular in 1974, when a member of the Peace Corp, Norman Riling and a local, Miguel Mendez, found pieces of Larimar on the beach. Mendez named the stone by combining the name of his daughter, Larissa with Mar, the Spanish word for sea. This beautiful blue stone embodies the vibrant colors of the sea and sky in the area of it’s origin, the Dominican Republic. Larimar is valued for its beauty, so it is commonly used in jewelry. It is also known for its healing properties. It resonates to the throat chakra, and is said to enhance communication. It helps you to see things from a different perspective. Larimar opens the heart, and stimulates feelings of peace, healing and love. Larimar softens and lightens our emotional, physical, mental and spiritual body. It stimulates the crown and third eye, and support the process of enlightenment. Use this stone to help promote inner wisdom, inner truth and clarity of higher vision. This stone is a great choice if you are depressed, stressed and suffer from anxiety. This exquisite blue stone has such tremendous healing properties, no wonder it is referred to as the Gem of the Caribbean!

Release Negative Emotions And Allow Your Spirit To Soar It’s great to be alive. It’s great to feel the pulse of life flowing through your veins. Love! Joy! Empowered! Vitality! Passion! When these positive emotions pulse through the body, there is nothing else like it. We feel invincible, on top of the world. We feel like everything is right in the world. We are one with the flow of life. Can you remember the last time you felt that way? How often are you in the flow? If you are like most, the answer is not very often. Life is not all positive. There are negative emotions too. How often are you swimming in anger, worry, pessimism, unworthiness, despair and/or depression? Reacting To Energies Below The Conscious Mind These energies exist within us buried deep and hidden. These are usually negative and were suppressed a long time ago. They are still there doing their job underneath the visible radar of your conscious mind. Therefore, you are not aware of their impact on your life. Do you ever wonder why you react to certain situations without provocation or cause? Or, why all of a sudden you feel depressed for no reason? Judgment Leads To Pain And Suffering Our experiences are tainted by these suppressed energies. They want to surface, want to be heard, want to be lived. But if they remain within you, they will distort everything you experience with filters of negativity, dissatisfaction, anger, worry, depression. We see what we want to see based on our beliefs and attitudes. This creates judgment, judgment creates separation and separation leads to pain and suffering. Resistance Is Inauthentic This underlying negative tone is your resistance to what was. Any behavior that was not lived was resisted and still exists within you. If you ever said “yes” and meant “no,” that is resistance. If you ever suppressed speaking your truth, that is resistance. Any energy that is not aligned with your authentic self is resistance. Because of this underlying negative tone everything you look at, experience or feel will be tainted with this poison. This is why you are quick to react negatively to a situation and then you wonder why you said what you said, or worse, did what you did. The path to reversing this pattern and letting go of your

negative charge is to allow yourself to feel your fear, anger and grief and to regain your authenticity with your true self, the spirit within. Unfortunately, very few are willing to do this. They are afraid to feel the negative emotions they buried so long ago. Buried Feelings Are Like A Poison Because these feelings were likely suppressed when you were a child, they are likely to be thirty, forty, and fifty or more years old. Do you know what happens to something that has been festering that long? It gets stale, rotten and smells of death. It is a poison that will not go away. Energy cannot be created nor destroyed so it remains a poison within you. Isn’t it time to let go of all that? Haven’t you been holding on for too long? It is keeping you from a healthier, happier more peaceful and abundant life. Love It And Let It Go No need to wonder why or how it got there. This is mind stuff, and it will just derail you. You must let the feelings live so you can let them go. This doesn’t mean you have to relive the trauma and drama of the past. So many get sucked into this, become fearful, and pull away never to return. This is unfortunate because it is not necessary. Simply FEEL. Feel it, Engage it, Embrace it and Let it go. But you wonder, and I know you are wondering, how can I love something so bad? The answer is simple. Born in thought; it was your creation. Who could not love their own creation? Love it and let it go. Allow what you created to be and then let it go. When approached with love and compassion, this is simple and easy to do.

If you do not change direction, you may end up where you are heading. Lao Tsu

BEING AWAKE AND AWARE I believe the most important thing in life is to have a strong belief in God or Source. Secondly, we must be aware of the world around us. I beleive that his whole Universe including Jesus, the heavenly angels, saints, and your guides are right there to help you every step of the way. To get in touch with these powers, God, through the Holy Spirit, helps when we seek the truth. Sometimes we are troubled in our lives and complain and often blame each other. But every time we suffer, there is a lesson to be learned. If we don't learn the lesson the first time, it will repeat until we get it right. As humans we are all co-creators with God. I believe we are destined to fulfill God's divine plan for us here on earth. Life is like many small puzzle pieces that fit together to form a big picture. I am a very spiritual person with a heartfelt commitment to share with everyone that there is a bright side to every negative situation. Looking at life's experiences through a higher awareness has brought me to levels of understanding that I never knew were possible. This has kept me afloat while sailing through the rough seas of life. I encourage everyone to stop, look, and listen to the clues in their lives. Also, by keeping a daily journal of each event, these clues will have special meanings. 1) Something good comes from something bad. There are no bad experiences--so when a situation arises that upsets you, concentrate only on a positive reason why it happened. 2) All things happen for a reason.

If we believe that the universe is unfriendly and that our very souls are in danger, peace will be elusive at best. Joan Borysenko

3) Events fall into place at the right time and place. We must detach ourselves from the outcome we desire. If it doesn't happen soon, be assured the Universe will bring it about at the right time. 4) There are no such things as coincidences-- everything happens in divine order. When we are truly awake, we will see hidden messages from spirit through chance encounters, unusual events, accidents, etc. 5) When we ask or pray for help, answers will come to us through a friend, a book, a radio show, television, etc.

6) We must set an intention each day by stating how we want our day to unfold to bring us happiness and strength to carry out our mission. Spiritually, we can receive what we ask for quickly by living pure spirit. This allows us into the state of the miraculous where God or Source brings us miracles at the exact time we need them. Also, it is such a comfort to know that we are never given more than we can handle. It's important to remember that every physical event has a spiritual cause. The spiritual meaning is the real meaning for everything. We must not let the ego stand in our way even though it tries to control us. We are now on this earth plane, but many planes of existence are available to us. When we transition from earth, our real home is on another spiritual plane which is determined by our soul's progression.

36 Body Mind Spirit Guide | September 2014

Is Aging Necessary? Disease can be described as a pattern of systems. The cause of these symptoms increase aging. Aging is the result of malnutrition, damage and imbalance of the tissues and cells. Most of us try to eliminate the patterns of symptoms, declaring the problem solved while the preconditions that created the condition remains. This adds to the aging process as well as later bringing on new symptoms or even allowing the old ones to come back. You may hide aging superficially by cosmetic surgery or taking mega doses of the latest and greatest vitamins or drugs, but you have not halted aging. As we age, our bodies produce fewer antioxidants (free radical gobblers). Free radicals damage the walls of the cell, as well as the nucleus of our cells. This can easily be seen on the skin in the form of wrinkles and brown spots, while much unseen and greater damage occurs inside the body. The cause of the problem is that toxins are continuously released into the body, which creates damage. This is the number one cause of aging and dis-health. So the purer the food is, the more perfect the digestion and the cleaner the colon and body tissues become, the younger and healthier we become. When our body slows down, it is usually over burdened from all the toxins and imbalances it has accumulated over the years. The red blood cells start hardening, which can cause circulatory problems, digestive problems, and slowing of glandular production. The glands aren’t able to put out the necessary digestive enzymes in the proper quantities needed for digestion September 2014

Love and Sexuality are One? Life force energy is seeking to be felt in your bones and breath. We are trapped in shameful narrow perceptions of our bodies, sexuality and love, that choke life’s blissful expression. Disconnected from the sensual and embodied, we have trouble even feeling what foods are good for us, giving ourselves proper rest or even knowing when we are authentically hungry. Unable to feel our bodies cries, we grow numb to life’s simple pleasures. God-Spirit pulsing in your body feels like sexual energy. Sexual energy is: life force, conscious embodied experience and creative flow. In this holistic model sexuality is also sensuality, body connection and expression of cosmic passion. An ecological (all encompassing) or holistic model of sex is needed on our planet. Sexuality is made profane from common cultural limiting perceptions of our bodies, sexuality, and relationship roles. Then without a framework of what healthy holistic sexuality really is, we are also given messages that sex is bad, sinful or evil. Love is the essence of who you are; not a person, thing or feeling. Holistic sexuality is expression of your Soul. Every song on the radio seems to carry co-dependent messages of “I need you to be happy.” Seeking first the kingdom of heaven, means to know yourself as Love and express this energy in all you are and do. Your kingdom is within and has already been given to you. Like two musicians with well tuned instruments, two people who have uncovered their inner light, co-create a symphony that becomes a living demonstration for the glory of God. Holistic sexuality is love. Uncovering your holistic sexuality requires reconnection with your body, healthy boundaries, conscious communication, healing traumas, and clearing limiting beliefs. It is a challenging journey but the rewards are immense. Sex without love is simply two bodies creating friction to relieve stress. I have had many clients realize after they began to love themselves that they have never truly “made love.” Intimacy, heart connection, and sweet energetic communion must first start with yourself. However, shared in partnership, something far greater is realized, beyond what can be done alone.

Living in relationship with non-holistic sex, you may have immediate gratification, but in the long run end up starving. Living in relationship with love without sexual energy, you will be “fed” but feel like you are eating plain oatmeal every day. Limiting beliefs about sex passed on through genetics, parenting models, or societal assumptions create gynecological problems, cheating, pedophiles, depression, sex slavery, divorce and our ecological crisis. Our body expresses our dis-ease and limiting beliefs through illness. Erectile dysfunction, endometriosis, uterine fibroids, prostate cancer, hormonal imbalances and ovarian cysts are on a continual increase. Whatever we suppress, keep secret, and shame, has the power to annihilate us. Bringing our limiting beliefs and feelings to the surface gives us conscious choice to grow, learn, and become the magnificence that Creation made us to be. Your creative life force or sexual energy if suppressed will turn into unconscious patterns of addictions or illness. Believing love to be separate from sex, partners lose their attraction to their mate. How terrifying to be deeply in love, yet not find your partner attractive! This is very common. This is one of the main reasons men cheat. “How can she be a sexy seductive kitten and the mother of my children; after all wasn’t mother Mary a virgin?” Societal models of a “good woman” caught in the dualistic paradigm of sex and love; the good mother becomes void of any sexual fire. I am not surprised at the high divorce rate. We don’t have tools of communication. Unable to communicate our needs and boundaries, we begin to resent and blame the one we love. Unaware of the true power of vulnerability (communication of feelings/needs) women begin to mother their husbands. Not able to compassionately assert, yet fearful of becoming like her submissive mother, she emasculates her mate all the while yearning for the deeper masculine claim on her heart. Sound familiar? Men have become afraid of their own masculinity, feeling safe to express only in bars and ball games, frequently becoming womanizers. Women with unhealed daddy wounds feel unsafe and will shame a mans’ vulnerability, resorting to co-dependently trying to heal his discomfort. Unaware of the power of an embodied masculine presence, men hide behind plastic shields of macho-isms, all the while painfully shaming their own feelings. Unaware of the true power of the sacred feminine, and trying to fix a woman’s emotions, men lose the bridge into their sacred masculine.

Your sexual energy is the vital force and creative garden in which your Spirit can deepen its roots into a grounded connection with Life and God. Women resorting to being the man of the house or men feeling nagged and caged in relationship doesn’t need to be the norm. Your libido is not dead or bad. There is a way to be in relationship and feel free. Deeper commitment to your own heart, body, and sexuality enlivens you to a joyful intimacy with people and sweeter merge with God.

***There are variations to the patterns outlined above: a man may be in the mother role, or the woman may be the one who sees love separate from sex. Also, same sex partnerships contain the tragic split between love and sex and suffer tremendously from this disconnect. Every person is unique, but for the sake of communication I have been writing in gender generalities. (Also for some people gender identification is not based on the physical body.) Shame around the body and sexuality shows up in all sexual orientations (LBGT) and it could be better said that these limiting perceptions are human based.

The Gift of Trees Our lives are inextricably linked to the majesty and wonder of nature. In fact, human life is possible on our planet because of the gifts of the natural world and the exquisite dance that occurs between the sacred elements of air, water, fire and earth. The divine intelligence of nature knows how to maintain the exact conditions that keep the Earth’s ecology in balance. What a precious gift! Although the abundant blessings of nature are too many to name here, let’s look at one expression of the natural world that holds a special place in many people’s hearts -- the splendor and magnificence of trees. From an ecological perspective, trees are quite phenomenal. These green giants absorb carbon dioxide, which helps reduce the greenhouse gas effect, and release oxygen into the air for us to breathe. One mature tree creates as much oxygen in one season as 10 people inhale in a full year! Trees clean the air by absorbing pollutants like ammonia, sulfur oxide, ozone, and nitrogen oxides. They also trap particulates in their bark and leaves, which filters these substances out of the air. Trees generously offer shade and release water vapor from their leaves, which can reduce the temperature in a city by 10 degrees. This reduces the need for air conditioning in the summer, which in turn reduces carbon dioxide emissions. Trees also clean the soil by either absorbing pollutants or transmuting chemicals and other pollutants into less harmful forms. From a Native American perspective, a tree is seen as an ancient and sacred expression of the Great Spirit that holds powerful symbolism. A tree’s roots reach deep down into the earth, while the branches reach up into the sky, symbolically representing a bridge between heaven and earth. Trees can

be wonderful teachers for humans in the art of being rooted and grounded to the earth and within our bodies, while simultaneously reaching upward towards the heavens in expansion. Studies have shown that people who are recovering from an illness heal faster and with fewer complications if they have a view of trees from their window. If merely looking at a tree can facilitate healing, connecting with a tree in person provides an opportunity to receive even more benefits. A simple way to deepen your connection with nature and yourself is to sit with your back up against a tree. I suggest removing your shoes and socks (weather permitting), but this is not necessary. As you sit with your spine resting on the tree trunk, you can place your hands on the trees as well, perhaps near the roots. Notice how it feels. Each tree has it’s own unique personality, just like each flower, insect, animal, and human, so you may notice different qualities, sensations, and experiences depending on the tree you sit with. Generally speaking, people often experience a sense of peace, relaxation, and balance. One reason for these positive feelings may be related to the ability trees have to balance our whole self. Similar to the way that trees remove toxins from the air, the energetics of trees also allows them to clear away and transmute disrupted energy within our bodies and the surrounding environment. Walking or driving through a forest is like moving through an energetic car wash in which negative energy is effortlessly cleared away by the healing properties of the trees. Another reason for these positive feelings may be related to the way that nature offers us an opportunity to experience the felt sense of something real and authentic. The magic of nature, with its natural rhythms and innate

wisdom, can help us move beyond the false constructs of our modern world and the limiting beliefs we develop about who we are. As we sit under a tree and connect with the depth of presence found in nature, it can be easier to access this same depth of presence within our Self. Here we can more easily touch in to our True Self that exists beyond all space and time, and all labels, patterns, and false selves that we have been conditioned to adopt in our daily lives. Lastly, it’s helpful to express gratitude to the tree for its presence and whatever you received from your time with it. As is the case with all expressions of gratitude to the divine, we do not say, “thank you” because the tree needs it. Instead, our expression of gratitude helps to open our own hearts to how interconnected we are with nature and all of life. Our gratitude also serves as a sweet reminder about how amply we are provided for.

How to Rid Yourself of Negative Self-Talk to Live Happier! Henry David Thoreau is famous for the line “the mass of men lead lives of quiet desperation.” Have you ever felt this way? If so, why are you not enjoying life to the fullest? There are, of course, many reasons why people are not as happy as they could be, but there are two very important factors contributing to a life that is not very fulfilling. The first part of the equation involves your self-talk. Self-talk is so important that it can determine the quality of your life. Positive self-talk results in feeling good about yourself and being willing to take more risks. You will have higher selfesteem. Negative self-talk often results in your avoiding new situations and leading a very unfulfilling life. It can result in low self-esteem. Not only will the self-talk determine whether you will take a risk or not, but what you tell yourself after you take a risk is also extremely important. If you were in sales and you lost a sale, you could tell yourself, “I am not cut out for this occupation,” and that could lead you to look for another job. If, however, your self-talk was more along the lines of, “That customer was very foolish and missed a golden opportunity, too bad for him or her,” then you would not take it so personally and would be more willing to continue doing the job. Your self-talk can keep you going or can stop you cold. If self-talk is so important, then why don’t all of us use positive self-talk? This leads to the second factor. Much of our self-talk is a result of ideas, thoughts and beliefs in our subconscious mind. We have certain beliefs in our subconscious that are affecting how we interact with other people, as well as how we feel about ourselves. If we have negative beliefs in our subconscious (also called core beliefs) we are going to be using a lot of negative self-talk. The problem is that because we are not aware of these subconscious beliefs, we don’t realize why we are acting the way we do. The subconscious remembers everything that has ever happened to us and can have a powerful effect on our actions. Unless we become aware of the patterns and beliefs in our subconscious, it is very difficult to change them. It’s as if there were an invisible entity controlling much of our behavior, and we have no idea that this is happening. These core beliefs can contribute to a lot of our unhappiness.

negative and unhealthy patterns and beliefs that are in our subconscious mind. The good news is that we can change these core beliefs, and it does not require years of intensive psychoanalysis. Hypnosis is an excellent method to help one get in touch with the unhealthy, self-destructive subconscious beliefs that are causing so much unhappiness. With hypnosis we can easily find out what subconscious beliefs are causing our present difficulties, challenge and eliminate them, and then replace them with much healthier messages. Let me give you one example: years ago it was not uncommon for children to get the message that “Children are to be seen and not heard.” If you were on the receiving end of this message and believed it, you would probably have a great deal of difficulty expressing yourself. As an adult, however, you may not even be aware that this message is still affecting you. You may wonder why you have so much trouble or fear talking to new people and why you are so terrified to do public speaking. With hypnosis, you can get in touch with these negative subconscious beliefs and replace them with healthier and more rational beliefs. These negative core beliefs are the reason you are having so much trouble having a happy and fulfilling life. So what are you waiting for? Do you want to be happier? The tools are now available to dramatically change your life. You are worth it. If you would like more information about hypnosis please call Phil Rosenbaum at the Self-Esteem Academy. Call 248-6886469. Phil Rosenbaum As you can see, there are many reasons to experience a past life.

Meeting Emma

foundly impacted my life. But before that day, I didn’t even know Emma existed. Allow me to explain: Emma is my gremlin. My inner critic. The voice of judgment in my head.

November 13, 2013 was a life-changing day for me. It started out fairly typical, except my family and I were vacationing in Florida. I spent the morning as I normally do – journaling, meditating and exercising – and had just stretched out on a big, fluffy towel on a gorgeous Naples beach. The sun beat down on me and I felt amazing. Beep, beep beep! Beep, beep, beep! My alarm shrieked. I squinted at it. The clock read 10:50 am. That was my signal to head up to our condo for the second session of the, “Creative Insight Journey”, a self-development course I was taking. “See you soon, Jaim!” my husband Gideon called out with a big grin. “Bye!” I said, reflecting on how lucky I was to have such a wonderful mate. As I climbed the steps by twos up to our room, I reflected on our wedding day – one of the most transforming days of my life. I didn’t realize it then, but I was about to have another profoundly transforming day. It was on that day in November that I met Emma. It sounds silly when I say it. Especially since Emma had been with me for over 30 years. Not to mention she’d pro-

As I mentioned, Emma had been around for years –she loved telling me everything she didn’t think I could do, or the things I should fear. She convinced me it wasn’t worth applying to certain colleges for a PhD – “You’ll never get in,” she whispered convincingly. She warned against leaving a steady job and following my heart – “It won’t work out,” she stated flatly. It was as if she wanted me to stay small. Like she didn’t want me to enjoy my life or take a chance. She never gave up. And she was always there, cautioning me about making a mistake. I was familiar with the concept of ego, but it wasn’t until class that day when I identified my gremlin through a particular activity – draw it, name it and write down three things it says – that my major breakthrough came: Emma is just a voice in my head. She is not who I am. A feeling of security and a rush of relief washed over me like a massive tidal wave. I wasn’t crazy! And I wasn’t alone; every person in my class had their own Emma, each with its own look and name! But they all voiced similar opinions: you’re not capable, you’re not good enough and you’re not worthy. During the rest of class, I learned that Emma formed in my early childhood years. I discovered her good qualities – she alerts me of danger and helps keep me safe – but, most of the time, she goes overboard and the danger is imagined or hyped up. I also learned that if I listen to Emma in every circumstance, I limit my life and myself. The homework assignment that week was to post my picture of Emma in a prominent place in my house. That way, I’d recognize her voice more and not allow it to scare me or run my life. A few days into this, I had an epiphany of sorts while in the shower. It was Emma who convinced me to fear stepping outside of my comfort zone. Instantly, I knew what to do: I found a host of popular publications and jumped at the opportunity to submit my work. Now, a little over nine months since Emma and I first met, I’ve gotten really good at recognizing her. She doesn’t scare me anymore. And neither does submitting my work. In fact, I am writing for a host of publications now. And planning to attain that PhD. Jaime Pfeffer Jaime Pfeffer loves transforming her life and she lives to help others do the same.

Is Reincarnation Real? I have found from doing psychic readings over the years that many people are stuck in a life problem and seem doomed to repeat the issue or never resolve it unless they go to where the original karma began. Sometimes that means looking at a past life, then again it may be karma we have created in the current life. Sometimes we pick the same type of person each time we find a new love, even when we think the person will be so much different than the last relationship. What is recurring is really within ourself and whether it is a relationship or any other life issue we sometimes need to look within and resolve the issue in order to clear the karma. Some people just cannot come to grips with the thought that it could be a past life issue because they just don’t know if they believe in reincarnation. What is it that reincarnates and how exactly does it happen? Bhagavad Gita, the ancient text of India suggests that the soul leaves when the body dies. The type of body and psychological disposition (likes, dislikes, phobias, and so on) one receives upon rebirth is dependent on the actions (karma) within that one life combined

with the actions from previous lives. By some inconceivable system, all of one’s positive and negative deeds are recorded. This means no one gets away with anything. Moreover, all positive and negative actions create within the individual a psychological disposition to continue performing that action. For example, if one starts stealing or gets in the habit of lying and doesn’t try to change these tendencies, then in the next life, one will pick up where they left off. The same goes for positive actions. The mind propels us into action based on its conditioning which is based on past actions. So, when the body reaches its demise, the mind and soul get transferred into --hopefully-another human womb. Even while in the womb, the mind remains active and is recalling events from the previous life. In a NY Times article, “Do Babies Dream,” Charles P. Pollack, director of the Center for Sleep Medicine at New York-Presbyterian/Weill explains, “Most dreaming occurs during a type of sleep called REM sleep, which occurs at all life stages, including infancy, and even before infancy, in fetal life.”

This article doesn’t establish the fact that the dreams of the fetus are from previous lives, but it does indicate that Wendy Powers, Clairvoyant Counselor the little guy is dreaming. If he or she TV & Radio personality with Proven Accuracy hasn’t lived before, what in the world Wendy Powers, could it be dreaming of?

behave in very much the same way as they did in the previous life because the conditioning and impressions are the same. The car may be different, but the driver is the same. Hence, we are not very different from who we were in our previous life. The memories are very specific and can often be verified. Dr. Ian Stevenson, founder and director of the University of Virginia’s Division of Perceptual Studies, researched and wrote about this phenomena extensively. Dr. Stevenson is probably the best known, if not most respected, collector of scientific data that appears to provide scientific proof that reincarnation is real. Instead of relying on hypnosis to verify that an individual has had a previous life, he instead chose to collect thousands of cases of children who spontaneously (without hypnosis) remember a past life. Dr. Stevenson uses this approach because spontaneous past life memories in a child can be investigated using strict scientific protocols. Hypnosis, while useful in researching past lives, is less reliable from a purely scientific perspective. In order to collect his data, Dr. Stevenson methodically documents the child’s statements of a previous life. Then he identifies the deceased person the child remembers being, and verifies the facts of the deceased person’s life that match the child’s memory. He even matches birthmarks and birth defects to wounds and scars on the deceased, verified by medical records. His strict methods systematically rule out all possible “normal” explanations for the child’s memories. To help you to discover and resolve karma that may be holding you back from spiritual evolution and happiness, I recommend you may need to look into a past life through hypnosis. One expert in this type of hypnosis therapy will be my guest Saturday September 6, 10a.m. EST, on Body Mind Spirit Radio, “The

Wendy Powers show.” Laura Chandler is a certified hypnotherapist, and founder of the Sacred Stream which is a nonprofit organization and school for consciousness studies dedicated to bringing the wisdom of ancient spiritual and healing traditions into awareness of contemporary society. Laura will discus what to expect in a past life regression session. She uses the Depth Hypnosis method. This is a unique method which encourages self-responsibility as it engages the client in a process of selfempowerment through self-knowledge. Whatever your symptoms, Depth Hypnosis as a model seeks to meet you where you are. Every person is unique, and so the process of Depth Hypnosis for each person must also be unique. The Sacred Stream was founded in 2002 and is located in Berkeley, CA. They offer a core set of classes in subjects such as Depth Hypnosis, Applied Shamanism, Applied Buddhism, Integrated Energy Medicine and Transpersonal Psychology. For information visit: www.sacredstream.org or www. depthhypnosis.com As a Clairvoyant, I also can read a person’s past life through my psychic abilities, and very often see exactly where and when your issue (karma) may have begun. Sometimes, without having to go through hypnosis, but just by knowing your karma and how and why it started, is enough for you to release it and move on with your life. So make sure you join me on my September, “First Saturday” radio show on BMSRadio with my guest, Laura Chandler. I will be taking your calls for questions and mini readings. Call into the show early to get into the queue for your reading! 646-3780378 Infinite Love & Peace, Wendy Nugent Powers September 2014

Food Of The Month: “Marvelous Millet”

So many people ask me about millet. They want to start eating it but are unfamiliar with how to cook and use this nutritional, whole grain. I want to share with you one of my favorite ways to cook and prepare millet, in order to take the mystery out of this creamy and slightly sweet food. Older than any other grain, millet has been eaten since at least 10,000 years ago. It is the main food source of the Hunza people, known for their longevity, and living in Asia. You have probably seen millet most often in bird seed. It is a small, round, yellow whole grain that is very high in fiber, making it a heart healthy food and can help lower cholesterol. It also has a good amount of iron, calcium, potassium, zinc, phosphorus, manganese, and magnesium. Interesting to note, millet has the highest protein content of the whole grains, 15%. Energetically, millet feeds and nurtures your spleen, pancreas and stomach; the main organs that help you deal with stress, so millet is your anti-stress grain! The best way to cook millet is to pot boil it. Put 1 cup millet, 2 cups water in a pot. Bring to a boil. Reduce to lowest possible temperature and simmer for 20 minutes. Water should have been absorbed at end of cooking time. It should be creamy and sweet, not crunchy. Once it is cooked, my favorite way to prepare it is to form it into cubes. While still hot, season with a little sea salt and press it into a casserole dish. Press it hard so it will be firm later. Put in refrigerator until cold. Cut into cubes and you can eat it just like that as a snack or add more ingredients and make a salad with the cubes, such as my recipe here. Try millet next time you are looking for a new food to try -- I think you will really enjoy the taste and texture. 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

Cubed Millet and Tempeh Salad 1 cup millet 2 cups water 1/2 tsp. sea salt 1 (8 oz.) tempeh (partially cooked and fermented soy) Olive oil, tamari 2 celery stalks (diced) 1/2 cup peas 2 scallions (thin rounds) 1 1/4 cup Vegenaise (dairy free mayonnaise) 3 tsp. yellow mustard 1/4 cup peanuts (optional) Pot boil millet and water for 20 minutes, until all water has been absorbed. Mix in the 1/2 tsp. sea salt. Press firmly into a casserole dish. Millet should be about 1/2 to 1 inch thick in dish. Put in refrigerator until cold. Cut millet into cubes. Put some olive oil and tamari in a sauté pan and place tempeh in pan. Brown the tempeh on each side, remove and cut into squares, the same size as the millet. While sauté pan is still hot, put the celery, scallions and peas in, for only about one minute. This imparts flavor into the vegetables. Put the millet, tempeh and vegetables in a large bowl. Add the Vegenaise and yellow mustard, (and peanuts) mix all together and serve cold. Valerie Wilson is a chef, author, counselor, and host of “Healthy Cooking with Macro Val” on BMSRadio.

The Secret Connection between Love and Pain

Exclusion Causes the Same Reaction in the Brain as Physical Pain Many individuals view the connection between social pain— stemming from the trauma of war, loss or exclusion—and physical pain, as a figurative one. People laughingly agree that “love hurts,” but they do not think it hurts in the same way as being kicked in the shin. However, life presents a compelling argument that social pain and physical pain share a common source. For example, a couple who’d been married for 65 years died within 88 minutes of one another! Recent research by scientific psychologists shows the connection between love and pain, and shows that exclusion causes the same chemical reaction in the brain as physical pain. Therefore it is not surprising that practitioners of Systemic Constellations have been aware that the pain of exclusion is the source of many issues for individuals that appear in the present. The consequences of exclusion by the ancestors are passed down from one generation to the next, and continue to have lasting effects until the exclusion is resolved—often

with a constellation that includes the excluded ancestor. The constellation process can facilitate the healing experience of inclusion, and the reconnection to the one who has been excluded—often for generations. Constellations show that events in a family’s past resulting from a shocking experience or a trauma can create a conscious or unconscious schism—or exclusion. The exclusion, or disconnection, originates from the experience of emotional overload that is the result of a traumatic experience or loss. The system of individual experiencing the trauma, or serious loss, works immediately to disconnect from the pain as an adaptive means of survival—by working to dam up the hole or “whole.” This life-saving step serves to keep the consciousness of the traumatized ancestor unaware so his or her survival becomes possible. This experience—the one of blocking or damming up the traumatized part—is then passed down through the generations, resulting in the damming up process becoming the conditioned means of response to life. These responses are maintained and expressed in the present in various issues—in both relationships and in careers. The individual in the present stays connected to the family by an unconscious form of love which paradoxically keeps him or her entangled with the fate of an ancestor and separated from his or her family in the present. Although the disconnection from the trauma is often life-saving at the time for the ancestor, it presents challenges for the individual in the present who continues to carry the energy of exclusion, which continues to show up in all areas of his or her life.
