Welcome to the Body By VI - 90 Day Challenge! ~ Teresa Hitchman

With so many amazing stories created thanks to Body By Vi 90 Day Challenge, it isn't about what you have to lose, but rather what you have to gain. With over $25 million dollars in free product, prizes and vacations awarded each year there is something for everybody on the challenge. The Body By Vi Challenge is helping people lose weight and get fit. The Body By Vi 90 Day Challenge works for 3 reasons: Its simple, affordable and FUN! It is easy to

follow and cost effective. Following meal plans, especially those that include healthy and organic foods can be expensive, but a Vi-Shake works out to be less than a couple of dollars per meal. This is what is called "transfer spending"; money that you would normally use on groceries is spent on a Vi-Shake; a much healthier option and even better! Most people can drink one or two shakes a day, eat a healthy third meal with healthy snacks in between. Usually within a week or two, they start to see results.

Free" program, all you have to do is help 3 people join the challenge with a kit of equal or greater value to your own. If you do this, you'll get your next kit for FREE! Studies have shown that people who take on weight loss and fitness goals alongside others are more likely to be successful, and the Body By Vi Challenge is modern proof.

The community aspect is also making it easier; it's a lot more fun to join the challenge with friends. With the "Refer 3 - Get Your Kit for

Heart-Body-Mind mind’s logic might lead you to say ‘yes’, but the actual remembrance, buried in the memory of the the body’s cells and structure, could very well be ‘no’. This contradiction keeps the undesirable programs looping through one’s being and is the root cause that is so difficult to realize.

Your Soul hungers to integrate with your Own True Nature -- The Mystery of Existence. All too often we find ourselves getting in our own way. We become enmeshed in a web of non-acceptance, disguised as memories and experiences of survival, some of them traumatic. This perpetuates our day-to-day theater of struggle and anxiety. You can change this condition and live life to the fullest by releasing yourself from this bondage of fear and Self-restriction.

The body is a network of communication on all levels: mental, physical, emotional, and spiritual. These interpenetrate one another and other energetic realms. Every moment, the entire body is receiving: opening to or constricting to external information, and then sorting and storing this information in the body, based on prior conditioning. This vicious circle of conditioning is how barriers are created, re-enforced during a lifetime and creates the illusion that we are separate from the true source of our being - the light of universal consciousness. These conditioned memories are the net that imprisons us in separateness from our own energy. They present themselves in many forms, such as disease, stress, dissatisfaction and a myriad of other problems.

The externalized search for acceptance, information, or identification is the very source that creates stress and disease in life.

Everyone deserves to be grounded and supported by the energy of this planet. Everyone deserves to hold the reins of co-creation of their life. Everyone deserves to live from the heart sustained by wisdom, compassion, acceptance and understanding . It is time to remember your true nature and weave your entire body into integration with it. It is time to be in harmony first with yourself and then the rest of the world; as a unique individual living as an example of heart, knowing and grounded in quiet strength. Silvija is a Master Healer, with a wide background of training in various modalities. She treats every individual and situation as unique. She will help you unblock your Barriers, open channels of Energy, and revitalize and teach your whole Being on all levels. This integration and alignment of mental, physical, emotional and spiritual aspects of your Self will give you access to wider and wider fields of Energy. Activate the Harmony within you, know the Abundance of your Self and let Shine your own Divine Echo.

THE YUEN METHOD TM The art of infinite potential … by Colette Stefan

At times it may seem as if the universe is conspiring against us to make life miserable. It is more likely that the universe is mirroring back the negative programming held in our sub-conscious mind.

The central nervous system acts as the hard drive, the peripheral nervous system as the soft ware.

Pendulums: The Forgotten Tool

Katrina Psychic-Medium As a Psychic-Medium working in the spiritual realm, why would I need any tools?

not matter what it is made of, as long as it can swing freely and it is the right fit for the person using it.

All I really need are three things: a Spirit to give a message, a client to receive a message, and myself to transmit this message between the Spirit and client. However, tools can be used to enhance the reading by giving the reader something to focus on together with the client.

When used correctly, a pendulum is a powerful tool that can answer all your questions. It will give the answer in the form of ‘Yes’, ‘No’ or ‘Not yet decided or not your concern’. There are even ways for the Pendulum to give you an answer that is even more in-depth than just a ‘Yes” or ‘No”. These answers come from inside of you where you have the clearest connection to Spirit, Universe, and God.

Tools of the trade come in many forms like Tarot and Oracle Cards, Tea Leaves, Crystal Balls, Pendulums, Rune Stones and so many more. Most of us have seen a movie or show where a Gypsy is giving a reading to someone with the aid of cards or leaves or even a crystal ball. Some of us have even had our own experiences with these items. One tool that is often forgotten is the Pendulum. For our purpose, a pendulum is an object that is attached to a chain or string that is able to swing freely. It really does

A good place to start with your pendulum is to hold the chain between your thumb and your index finger, with your elbow supported. You can now ask your pendulum to show you a ‘Yes’, and it will go clockwise, or counter clockwise or back and forth.

The company that brings the Tower Garden to the Market Place is NSA, whose mission statement is to ‘Inspire Healthy Living around the World’. Jay Martin, the founder of NSA, states that, “We educate people about the importance of eating fruit and vegetables”. To facilitate the mission the company brought Juice Plus (26 vine ripened fruits, vegetables, grapes and berries) in a capsule to the marketplace in 1993. It has been their core product for 19 years. Having a large amount of vine ripened produce in your diet is going to make your body a more comfortable place to live. Juice Plus has helped millions of people, in twenty two countries get their health snowball rolling.

This is a futuristic vertical gardening system that speaks to the issues of the day: Vibrant health, the quality of our foods and the amount of resources used to grow and deliver them to the market. NSA has teamed up with Tim Blank of Future Growing, LLC. Tim Blank, the creator of the Tower Garden, graduated from Valencia College with a degree in Horticulture and Greenhouse Management.

In 1993 Tim took the first step toward what was to become his life’s work when he was hired by Walt Disney World in Florida as an advanced intern at Epcot Center’s ‘Living with the Land Pavilion’.

served as a research liaison for the Department of Energy and NASA (an association that would define his next creation). In 2000 Tim accepted the position of Chief Horticulturist and Greenhouse Manager, of the Land Pavilion, at Epcot Centre, in Orlando Florida. As Chief Horticulturist he managed a team of scientists and advanced interns. For 5 years Tim co-authored academic papers pertaining to collaborative research at ‘The Land’. In 2005, he left Disney to launch a one-of-a-kind company called Future Growing. Tim’s dream, to bring the promise of vertical farming to commercial reality was underway. Future Growing developed a proprietary vertical growing system called, the Tower Garden.

Transcend Your Rational Mind by Marcus T. Anthony, PhD It is commonly believed in many circles, particularly those dizzying circles one finds oneself in within academic and educational institutions, that the rational mind is the highest mental expression currently available to human beings. The rational mind is higher than the emotional mind, it is assumed, because the emotional and unreflective mind led us into mass superstition during the dark ages. Then science, with its empirically founded scientific method, led us out from the darkness and into Enlightenment. Thereafter came massive progress in science and social science; and the benefits to society are obvious. Just look at all those clean hospitals, computers on office desks and airplanes that can whisk us around the world in a matter of hours.

rationality” has greatly affected our cognitive processing in developed economies. We are increasingly processing the world through the medium of Information Technology. There is a great deal of truth to the claim that these cognitive shifts have been good for us. Science and the critical/rational mind have helped us make massive progress. Yet as Michel Foucault and the poststructuralist philosophers have noted, dominant cultures and societies tend to view history as a linear march towards an inevitable present; in this case, towards the “modern”. Mainstream science and society tends to be self-congratulating, and has great difficulty acknowledging the limits of mainstream discourses.

The problem with the four key ways of knowing of the modern mind is that In the dark ages of prehistory people pretty much believed whatever Mum or they are limited, and what’s more, often the village idiot told them. Most people greatly unbalanced. They do not permit couldn’t read or write for a start. It was access to domains of knowing which are vitally important for us to said that there was only one literate man, a clergyman, in all of Britain after contextualise knowledge and data, and to gain a greater insight into the human the fall of the Roman Empire.

Think about that Modern thinking processes retard intuitive thinking. They do not for progress! acknowledge, let alone utilise, intuitive ways of knowing. Intuition People haven’t always employed the incorporates cognitive processes which critical/rational mind the way we do today. In Europe, around the year 1500 are actually ‘post-rational’.

else, because it has become oh-sosmart. This generates a self-regulating delusion, where the mind goes about collecting and collating data which confirms its view that it has reached the zenith of knowing, and subtly rejects data which challenges this view. It becomes proud and arrogant. This is a trap, and a typically observed dead-end for mental development. Very few intellectuals, academics and scientists have managed to span the gap between the rational and post-rational for this reason. Further, since modern culture teaches us that rationality is the pinnacle of mind development, ‘clever’ people see no need to challenge that given. The entire lifetime is thus spent living comfortably (but not necessarily peacefully) within the rational realms of mind. The truth is that the mindset enjoyed by most ‘intelligent’ people in today’s society and education systems is extremely limited, and is but a fraction of the mental potential available to us. Not knowing better, we go about business as usual. The jump from the purely rational to the post-rational is a difficult one. In most cases, we will have spent many years existing at this critical juncture of mind, and may see no reason to move beyond it. Even people who ‘believe’ in the post-rational mind or spiritual potentials may never actually leave the comfort of the rational, because it is too destabilising, and the ego’s hold is too strong. I recall hearing about one of my own teachers - mystic Leonard Jacobson – and his visit to a leading ‘alternative’ tertiary institution in California in the late 1990s. Almost nobody—neither teachers nor students—attended his talk/workshop. That is incredible. Here was a man who has actualised the very


spiritual state that these academics and students are researching and studying, but they could not tear themselves away from their books long enough to spend time with the real thing. This should tell you something about just how difficult it is to make the leap from the rational to the post-rational. Selfdeception is normal. In truth, there is more than just one leap required, once the post-rational mind begins to open. There are various stages of cognitive awareness beyond the rational, but the juncture between the rational and the next post-rational stage is difficult to span. In truth, it is not entirely up to the individual. There is something of divine Grace involved.

the mind into presence, as I describe in Discover Your Soul Template, is necessary. Witnessing and presence permit one to see that the world of the mind is but a construct, and is ultimately an illusion. You might prefer to simply think of mind as a dysfunctional model of reality. Integrated Intelligence – my specific term for the mental abilities which spiritual intuition permits - will either directly or indirectly be a part of the process as you move beyond the rational mind. You might not explicitly use all the processes and tools that are available to you, but at the very least you will need to listen to the intuitive prompts of Spirit.

of destroying them (or the perceptual data they bring forth). Basically, all drama is the ego’s attempt to destroy and eliminate. This includes intellectual debate, which is almost impossible to engage in without the ego taking over. Personally, I feel it is usually better just to surrender, and allow the other to have his opinion, no matter how wrong or insane it may appear to be. Your judgment of that opinion is a projection of your ego anyway, and takes you back into the critical/rational mind. If you want to win intellectual arguments, kiss the higher mind goodbye. There is no winning or losing with Spirit.

In the end, it is not for you to say whether the other guy is right or wrong. Be warned. Integrated Intelligence can That is already ‘known’ by God.

and darkness that follow a predictable nearly 26,000-year cycle. In the earlier parts of this cycle, there is little awareness beyond the selfish needs and greed of man. Great examples of these times are the inquisition and the crusades, times when human life was snuffed in the name of greed and instability, awareness was limited to specific ideals or intentions to conquer all that did not fit those ideals. As time moved on, the heaviness began to lift, and as a race, we began to calm, taking time to consider other possibilities and then living them. Progressively relaxing into a greater sense of safety, we began to let down our innate need for protection of all kinds. We became less defensive, and as we did, we also became more aware not only of what was around us but also what is within us. And we began to seek our divinity. Is that divine part of us something different than us or an extended aspect that we can’t… quite… grasp? Or, are we part of some greater being, reflections of a greater nature, aspects of our Creator, of God? And if we are, then we are also


capable of far greater than we had imagined, because as we act as aspects of creation, we have the ability to draw from unlimited potential, endless possibilities, and the very essence of life itself. Not only can we create reality, we can manipulate outcomes, plant seeds for a future we direct, and as a collective of consciousness we, the human nature, can work together, each of us bringing our pieces of the puzzle together for common goals and outcomes. We are the consciousness within the living one. Because of that we can direct reality to morph and change exactly as we desire, or we can allow things to create in spite of us. We can also use these same principals and heal our bodies, our spirits and our lives. We can change illness, repair injuries, and yes, program the very particles from which we are created with any kind of reality we want to experience. Join me in Calgary the weekend of April 20th and Regina the weekend of April 27th to find out how you can access and apply the knowledge of the ancients to your life, your needs, desires and your health. I look forward to sharing these skills and the wisdom of the ancients to help you further your greater being!

Follow Your Heart

It Is Smarter Than You Think

by Rebecca Cherry

The Heart is more intelligent than the brain, emitting a 5,000 times stronger electromagnetic field, and half of it is made up of the same type of neurons found in the brain. So, why are people taught to live by their intellect and not follow their heart’s desire? Recently, Neurophysicists have been astonished to discover that the Heart is more an organ of intelligence, than (merely) the body’s main pumping station. More than half of the Heart is actually composed of neurons of the very same nature as those that make up the cerebral system. Joseph Chilton-Pearce, author of The Biology of Transcendence, calls it “the major biological apparatus within us and the seat of our greatest intelligence.” The Heart is also the source of the body’s strongest electromagnetic field. Each heart cell is unique in that it not only pulsates in synchrony with all the other heart cells, but also produces an electromagnetic signal that radiates out beyond the cell. An EEG that measures brain waves shows that the electro-magnetic signals from the heart are so much stronger than brain waves, that a reading of the heart’s frequency spectrum can be taken from three feet away from the body ... without placing electrodes on it! The Heart’s electromagnetic frequency arcs out from the Heart and back in the form of a torus field. The axis of this Heart torus extends from the pelvic floor to the top of the skull, and the whole field is holographic, meaning that information about it can be read from each and every point in the torus.

The Heart’s torus electromagnetic field is can, if we allow it, guide us through not the only source that emits this type of our lives. electromagnetic field. Every atom emits the same torus field. The Earth is also We must now switch the gears out of the at the center of a torus, so is the solar fear-based mental state that we have been system and even our galaxy ... and all are taught to believe in, and move into Heart holographic.

“I Wish I Had an Off Switch”

My Belief Re-patterning Story Twenty-plus years ago, in a moment of frustrated resignation at the prospect of yet another sleepless night, I yearned aloud: “I wish I could turn off my mind and get the incessant chatter to stop!” I was struggling. I had been on long-term disability and was unable to resume my teaching career because I wasn’t getting better. I wanted an off switch. My mind raced as the clock slowly ticked away the hours. Everyone has inner conversations, more commonly called thoughts. When we are healthy and happy, those inner conversations are supportive, and a peaceful silence prevails. When we are unhealthy or stressed—whether physically, emotionally, mentally, or spiritually—calming the ongoing negative inner soundtrack seems impossible. I had read and studied enough about the mind-body connection and the importance of positive thinking to know that this negative inner dialogue was getting in my way: Why don’t you . . . ? What you should do is . . . ! You’ll never . . . ! and You can’t, you can’t, you can’t. I needed sleep to regain my health. My mind was working overtime, and the mean and judgmental barrage wouldn’t stop. I felt that there was no way out, that’s why I wanted an off switch.

fear. I needed a more positive perspective. I decided to step over the line. I shifted my focus from my own reflection to that of the window behind me. Outside, the leafless branches of our backyard tree were clearly silhouetted against a bright, blue winter sky. As I turned to look outside, a declaration formed deep within me, erupting into the empty silence: “Get me well, and I’ll teach others to get well. I am a really good teacher!” This was a new voice emerging: a voice of strength, compassion, and clear intention, a voice that completely silenced the negative chatter. What Is Belief Re-patterning? The Amazing Technique for “Flipping the Switch” to Positive Thoughts

Re-patterning

®

My then-husband’s response to my plea was, “You don’t really want to shut your mind off. How will you remember to turn it back on?” I recognized his logic but replied in frustration, “If I could turn it off, I would never want to turn it back on.” He gently countered, “Yes, you would. Your mind is pretty useful!” His calm, caring voice gave me a new perspective. But the next morning, the negative thoughts were stronger than ever. I looked in the mirror and wondered, What is the point? I had a decision to make. I had been a high achiever, full of energy and upbeat. Now I was housebound and barely had the energy to get out of bed. I was at a crossroads: get well and truly live, or stay sick and merely exist. I was physically and emotionally spent—at the bottom of a pit. There are moments in life when you know you are turning a corner, taking a decisive step in a new direction: the switch second. This was one of those pivotal moments. I looked deep into my eyes in the mirror and recognized that I had been living out of

SUZE CASEY You understand the importance of positive thinking, but implementing it when times are tough takes a lot of discipline. What if you could train your mind to shift to positive thoughts automatically, without you having to work at it?

You didn’t come with an owner’s manual for your mind. You learned but you probably didn’t learn how you learned. This technique makes conscious the subconscious learning process we all use every day. Belief Re-patterning works with the way your body, mind, and soul already learn. The process feels natural and easy, because you are actually wired to live this way. Bringing this subconscious ability to your conscious awareness will allow you to make your thoughts work for you. And practicing this powerful technique will integrate the learning into your subconscious, allowing you to use it for the rest of your life. Belief Re-patterning opens the door to inspiring yourself from within. You are a being of energy, and your thoughts, emotions, and actions all transform that energy into the reality of your experiences. Imagine a way to tap into the best of you and create from an authentic place of alignment—body, mind, and soul. While you are learning about the Belief Re-patterning technique, you will also be re-patterning your own beliefs. You’ll gain a great deal by simply reading the book; however, your ability to re-pattern will be considerably enhanced by the experiential learning offered through the activities in Belief Re-patterning: The Amazing Technique for Flipping the Switch to Positive Thought. Personalizing your learning with examples from your own life will integrate the re-patterning process into your subconscious. Belief Re-patterning works when you, or those around you, are in crisis or calm, and whether you think it will or not.

This book relates some of the pivotal moments and learning that I experienced while developing the technique, reflections from my clients, and real stories of how Belief Re-patterning has impacted their Solidly based in cognitive learning theory lives.

Health Roots PLANTAR FASCIITIS & Reflexology Centre OUR SOLUTION TO A GROWING PROBLEM By: Robin Vorauer , Registered Canadian Reflexology Therapist What is the Plantar Fascia? The plantar fascia is a band of tissue, much like a tendon, that starts at your heel and goes along the bottom of your foot. It attaches to each one of the bones that form the ball of your foot. The plantar fascia works like a rubber band between the heel and the ball of your foot to form the arch of your foot. If the band is short, you’ll have a high arch, and if it’s long, you’ll have a low arch, what some people call flatfeet. A pad of fat in your heel covers the plantar fascia to help absorb the shock of walking. Damage to the plantar fascia can be a cause of heel pain. What causes the heel pain?

kind of pain you’re having, when it occurs and how long you’ve had it. If you have pain in your heel when you stand up for the first time in the morning, you may have plantar fasciitis. Most people with plantar fasciitis say the pain is like a knife or a pin sticking into the bottom of the foot. After you’ve been standing for a while, the pain becomes more like a dull ache. If you sit down for any length of time, the sharp pain will come back when you stand up again. What advice is currently given to patients who suffer from this condition? If you walk or run a lot, cut back a little. You probably won’t need to stop walking or running altogether.

Other risk factors for plantar fasciitis include:

Overview of the problem: Thousands of people are diagnosed with plantar fasciitis every year right here in the lower mainland.
