RELATIONSHIPS

Relationships

Relationships from a Spiritual Perspective

BY ALI FITZPATRICK

It is said that relationships are the highest form of yoga. And throughout the years, that is one phrase I have found truer than true.

When I was younger, I LIVED in my imagination. Everything from Cinderella to Prince Charming whisking her away to unrealistic electric sparks and butterflies. Society feeds us the misconceptions of the Disney fairytale, not a conscious perspective of what relationships actually are and how they are a significant piece of furthering our soul’s journey.

Throughout my experience, I have found that people come into our lives for three main reasons: healing, a lesson, or a true romantic/platonic connection.

They might be coming in to mirror specific unconscious wounding for you to gain awareness and heal from. There might be a new or repeated lesson that you’re FINALLY ready to learn and move forward from. Or it might be that deeper, more lasting connection, indeed.

Don’t get me wrong. I love a good fairytale as much as the next person. AND... when we’re able to approach new

The pH Relationship

BY JESSICA GILBERT

Today, most people are living in an acidic soup of toxicity, from chemicals to relationships, and finding (pH) balance can be near impossible! So, how do we navigate throughout life to find this balance?

Not surprisingly, the answer can be found in Nature. Whether it's foods that are alkaline for our bodies, smelling the roses, or even relaxing in the rays of the sun, Nature knows balance. We simply have to listen to its rhythms. But that's easier said than done!

Because our brains are hardwired towards addiction, laziness, and instant gratification, all things acidic seem to be hard to break up with! These toxicities hold tight to our weaknesses, pulling us deeper and deeper into an acidic soup of guilty pleasures that do not last and quickly turn against us until we once again indulge!

So, HOW do we break this vicious cycle and change our relationship with ourselves and our environment?

connections with this perspective, it automatically creates a sense of reality, a level of conscious relating, and an elevated perspective. Which is what we’re here for, isn’t it?

When we consciously use relationships as vehicles and teachers for our own healing and personal growth, we understand it’s not so much about the other person but rather ourselves. They are simply a mirror to our internal belief systems and wounding. In those moments, we can ask ourselves, “What is this here to teach me? What am I supposed to be learning through this and with this person?”

Doesn’t that feel so much more empowering? We should take our power back and remember that it’s always about us and our own journey. a

She guides spiritually curious women and men through major life transitions and awakenings using powerful and comprehensive ways forward in self empowerment and self development and discovery. These tools help them to align with personal truths, limitless possibility and support the beautiful nuanced journey of each person’s soul and the destiny that each of us are stepping into.

I think the real answer isn't so cut and dry. As with any relationship, breaking up is hard to do. But at the cost of losing ourselves, we need to find peace and forgiveness in all aspects of our acidic lives. Starting with diet, meditation, and forgiveness, we can begin to heal ourselves while balancing our pH to neutral.

Once we neutralize our body's pH, we will find peace in all different areas of our lives, healing our bodies and the relationships around us. Cutting out acidic foods, relationships, and thoughts can be the beginning of a new relationship, one of balance, peace, and happiness. If you need support finding this new relationship, you are not alone!

Relationships in the New Era: Embodying Higher Consciousness

BY MICHELE RAE, MA, NBC-HWC

Have you noticed as you become more aware, more intentional, more able to pause and respond instead of overreacting, that your relationships are radically shifting? As you embody higher levels of consciousness, everything around you attunes to your higher frequency. This experience can feel expansive and joyful. You are more likely to notice magic, epiphanies, synchronicity, and subtle energetic ways of knowing. Yet sometimes there is grief as you live into your Wholeness and Holiness. People in your life may still cling to old era qualities such as scarcity, polarization, entitlement and domination. If you are the only one invested in developing more self-awareness and shifting to access a larger portion of the field of consciousness, incoherence can become intolerable for both people. As your understanding of who you are grows and changes, there can be sadness as you outgrow long time relationships. As you embrace new era values such as interconnectedness, collaboration, transparency, and abundance your choices, points of view and beliefs shift.

Here are a few excerpts from my book, Living From the Center Within: Co-Creating Who You Are Becoming. Let’s take a deeper look at navigating relationships in the new era.

“Our relationships mirror our level of consciousness. When we live in lower consciousness, I am Individual, we are primarily focused on healing our holes. From this viewpoint, we often see the other as the source of our suffering and happiness. We tend to blame them for not bringing us enough joy and for causing us pain. In our conversations, we can be defensive, need to impose our opinions as the only right idea on the other, and feel like a victim. We may recognize patterns of dissatisfaction and discontentment. We may move from job to job or relationship to relationship. At first there is excitement in the new relationship, then the inevitable complaining and judgement that our bosses and lovers are inadequate. Love is conditional. We are seeking wholeness outside. The lessons will repeat indefinitely until we decide to heal our holes and find wholeness inside.”

“As we continue to expand our perspective, we can taste the sweet joy and peace of I am Infinite and know ourselves as the essence of All That Is. When we know this stage of unity consciousness, we experience the 'other' someone or something as interconnected to ourselves. When we deeply see another person, we recognize our identical inner nature of Holiness. We honor and salute the love shining from the core of their being and all beings. With discernment, we recognize each relationship is unique and engage accordingly. Right action and right relationship arise in present moment awareness.”

The universe is calling you to embrace a higher consciousness, to mature into the new era with ease and joy. Let’s do this together in New Era Relationships! a

A Community for Higher Consciousness

BY MAUREEN HIGGINS, MA

Humanity has moved away from being in community over the last century. We have found ourselves feeling self-sufficient and self-absorbed due to the convenience of stores, cars and now delivery services, the internet, social media and cell phones.

There are many things we like about this progress but, in the process, we’ve lost much of what’s important. Being a part of each other’s lives and supporting each other through the highs and lows of life. Our relationships.

During the last few years, many people have been thinking about community and missing their meaningful relationships. Their connection to each other through physical contact and shared goals are what matter the most.

I started thinking about community, and its connection to higher consciousness, about 15 years ago. It takes community to truly move into higher consciousness since we’re all energetically connected. The more each of us focus on love, and helping each other, it creates a ripple effect that creates a critical mass shift into a large global awakening that many call ascension.

My interest in community and higher consciousness guided me to purchase the website domain Community for Higher Consciousness in 2009, which many of us call “CHC”. I intuitively felt a reason to purchase the domain but wasn’t sure what it was. I followed the guidance from my Higher Self/spirit, trusting that the reason would reveal itself. Shortly after I purchased the domain, a good friend of mine told me she had owned it for the previous five years and felt guided to let it go. “I must have saved it for you,” she laughed!

My oldest son created the original CHC website for me, and then it remained without an official purpose for about two years. Around 2011, six people decided to use the website together. Myself, Michele Rae, Barb Stahl, Henry Emmons, Kevin Harrington and Tim Culbert used the website, for a few years, to promote higher consciousness.

We decided to create a celebration to honor 2012 which was considered the beginning of a new era. We also had quarterly workshops that followed the equinox and solstices. We called our event and workshop series, “Transforming Together.”

Once the 2012 event and workshops were complete, the website needed a new purpose. A group of twelve decided to use it to promote higher consciousness through our practitioner work, workshops and blogs. Steve Wagner, now co-owner of The Edge with his wife Kelly, redesigned the CHC website. Over time, the purpose of the website seemed outdated again. Community for Higher Consciousness needed a bigger purpose.

In 2020, I meditated with Kelly and Steve Wagner, then new owners of The Edge. We asked our Higher Selves and guides for optimal outcomes for the Community for Higher Consciousness, its members, and other participants. My inner guidance said that they’d be the best candidates to take CHC to the next level of growth. Steve and Kelly expanded the CHC website to include other great practitioners and teachers, multimedia, a services directory, and a robust calendar of events, classes and workshops. But still, as time passed, we saw this model was also becoming outdated.

We felt that our Community for Higher Consciousness was ready to be global – welcoming all humans on earth to be a part of our community!

It may not seem like higher consciousness is ready to go global due to all the chaos and extreme difficulties occurring all

around us. However, whenever things feel at their hardest is when the biggest breakthroughs happen. Kelly, Steve and I are feeling the push forward to breakthrough, and we’re thinking you are too.

Stay tuned as Kelly and Steve combine CHC with The Edge and bring higher consciousness into greater focus, helping humanity move into love and unity consciousness where everybody and everything matters!

We can all make a difference towards higher consciousness by joining hands together and letting go of the past personally, ancestrally and collectively so we can bring in something totally new where we all matter. As the Hopi Indians say, “We are the Ones we’ve been waiting for.” a

A Higher Vibration for a New Era

BY ROYCE VAGNIER

As a kid in the 1970s, one of my favorite songs was The Age of Aquarius by The 5th Dimension. I had no clue what the song meant when they sang: When the Moon is in the Seventh House , and Jupiter aligns with Mars Rather, I just felt happy and joyous and danced around as I sang: This is the dawning of the age of Aquarius over and over again. What I know now is that my body was in resonance with the frequency and intention of the song. It was raising my vibration. It was nutritious. It made me feel enlivened.

The same thing happened when I purchased my first singing bowl. I chose it by listening to multiple bowls and picking the bowl that “felt right” to me. The heart bowl I chose is tuned to 528 Hz, a tuning slightly higher than modern music, making the music sound slightly brighter and a little bit clearer. 528 Hz is also one of the Solfeggio Frequencies known for invoking Universal Love and transformation. As we raise our consciousness during this transformational time, does it not make sense that our bodies will crave this higher vibration?

The Aquarian Age is ushering in a higher vibration for humanity. Lee Harris, an Energy Intuitive, speaks of this transformation, “You are here and now. And the now is about to get wider. The now is about to feel richer, bigger, and more connected. For you are entering into your connection to everything. The magic, the complexity, the love, the fire, the passion, the joy – everything collides in oneness. You are a world awakening.”

I felt the magic and the connection the first time I heard Jeralyn Glass play the alchemy singing bowls. As she began playing, I felt the rich sounds wash over me, wave after wave. I experienced their healing power and felt enlivened.

Alchemy Crystal Singing Bowls

An alchemy crystal singing bowl® is 99.99% quartz infused with semi-precious gemstones, minerals, or precious metals with healing properties. The quartz crystals in every bowl amplify, focus, transfer, and, most importantly, transmute energy. Our bodies are also crystalline, so when you work with crystals, you may discover that they profoundly affect you all the way down to your very cells. Every alchemy crystal singing bowl® is one-of-a-kind and born with its own unique voice. They are a transformational tool for awakening, enlightenment, grounding, healing, and wholeness.

I intentionally curated the alchemies of my own singing bowls to help the receiver ground, balance, and connect to their Higher Self. For grounding, there is Carnelian (grounding first three chakras), Mt. Shasta Serpentine (the Earth’s root chakra), and Charcoal (a dynamic portal for clarity and personal vision to ground us within ourselves). For balance, Androgynous Indium (male/female energies), Super 7 (all chakras), and Tibetan Copper (auric fields). Finally, connection to the Universal Spirit through Azeztulite (“I AM” energy + universal light) and St. Germain Aura (embodiment of high vibrational Source Energy). Together, these powerful alchemies combine to enrich the healing frequencies of the bowls to create a multi-vitamin for the Soul.

As we navigate this chaotic transition to a brighter future, we all need to find the nutrients and the “oasis from the storm” to help us recalibrate, rebalance, and transform. Sound healing can be one of the transformative practices for this evolution. I would love to share these higher frequencies with you in a group sound journey anchored in my intention of love and peace. You can also use singing bowls for your own personal practice. Let me help you choose your bowlmate and show you how to use it to ground and balance you and help accelerate you to your higher consciousness.

In this Aquarian Age, Intention + Frequency + Love = Enlivened Living. Are you ready to start feeling the connection and live a more enlivened life? a

CONNECTING WITH YOUR HIGHER SELF

BY WENDY BENNING SWANSON

Did you know that you have an aspect of your consciousness that transcends the ego and is connected with the truest, most authentic aspect of who you are – your divine essence that exists beyond the physical realm? This is what is called your Higher Self. It is the part of us eternally connected to the universe and holds the wisdom, clarity, and purpose our human self seeks. Building a relationship with your higher self can profoundly impact your life, offer you greater clarity, enhance your understanding of your purpose, and support your spiritual growth.

As we are spiritual beings having a human experience, our human self is in a physical body and has limitations of time and space. As humans, we tend to unconsciously build a relationship with our ego, which is a more reactive, self-centered, and protective aspect of our consciousness that results in fight, flight or freeze responses. This aspect of consciousness is rooted in a perception of disconnection and separation, where individuals see themselves as separated from others and the world around them.

Benefits of Connecting with Your Higher Self

GREATER CLARITY: When we connect with our higher self, we gain access to a deeper understanding of our lives and the world around us. This clarity helps us see beyond the distractions and illusions of everyday life, allowing us to make decisions that align with our true nature and highest good. The higher self offers guidance that cuts through confusion and doubt, leading us to a clearer path.

SENSE OF PURPOSE: Our higher self holds the blueprint of our soul’s journey. Tuning into this aspect of ourselves can uncover our true purpose and passions. This connection can reveal why we are here and what we are meant to contribute to the world. Living in alignment with our higher self brings a sense of fulfillment and direction that transcends the mundane.

SPIRITUAL GROWTH: Spiritual growth is a natural outcome of connecting with the higher self. This connection encourages us to transcend ego-based thinking and embrace a more expansive perspective. It fosters qualities such as compassion, empathy, and unconditional love, which are essential for our spiritual

evolution. As we grow spiritually, we become more attuned to the interconnectedness of all life and the divine within ourselves and others.

Practices to Connect with Your Higher Self

MEDITATION: Meditation is a powerful tool for quieting the mind and creating space for the higher self to emerge. Regular meditation allows us to tune into our inner guidance and build a stronger connection with our higher self. I particularly recommend a technique called The Sanctuary Meditation.

JOURNALING: Writing can be a channel for communication with the higher self. Through journaling, we can express our thoughts and feelings; often, insights from our higher self emerge on the pages.

RITUALS & CEREMONIES: Rituals and ceremonies create a structured space for spiritual focus, invoke higher energies, and use symbolic actions to bridge the physical and spiritual realms. These deepen your connection to your higher self.

NATURE: Spending time in nature can ground us and open our hearts to the wisdom of the higher self. Nature’s tranquility often provides the perfect backdrop for inner reflection and connection.

Connecting with the higher self is a transformative journey that leads to greater clarity, a profound sense of purpose, and significant spiritual growth. By nurturing this connection through meditation, journaling, rituals, ceremonies, and time in nature, we can align with our true essence and live a life that reflects our highest potential. Embracing the higher self is embracing the divine within, and through this connection, we find the wisdom, love, and guidance we seek on our spiritual path. a

The Sacred & Powerful Dance of Wood, Copper & Crystal

BY CHERI PARAGI

In addition to delighting our eyes, auric fields and well-being – wood, copper, and crystal form a holy trinity that holds the power to change our lives.

Wood (especially driftwood selected from global resources) holds unique energy. Each piece of driftwood has its own story to tell and is rare because its textures, features, and densities are like snowflakes, no two being alike. Whether washed up on shore or discovered elsewhere, the wood's journey of origin may be unknown. What is known is that it found its way to you.

Spiritual aspects of driftwood are rejuvenation, good luck, prosperity, and connecting the past and future.

Creating each GemMe Wand is my gift to humanity and part of my reason for being here on Earth at this particular time. What is it that you are called to create or offer our world? And what is your process for bringing forth your gifts?

My process flows like this: I listen deeply for guidance from Mother Earth, which is how I was inspired to combine the natural and magical elements of driftwood – or Purpleheart wood – pure copper and natural crystals. I entwine them together to make wands, car vent clips, and necklaces.

Copper , crystals, and wood are tied together as transmitters of healing energy. Ancient people believed that copper provided calm and balance for body and spirit. Many cultures hold copper sacred, attracting prosperity, balancing chakras, and amplifying crystals.

I was guided to use Purpleheart wood from the Peltogyne tree , which is native to Central and South America. Purpleheart wood derives its name from its unique purple color, which deepens after exposure to the elements. The wood enhances knowledge, creativity, and spiritual healing while promoting divine magic and eradicating negative energies.

Crystal benefits from copper's connection by improving momentum

and energy flow, expanding to the wood and the person holding it. What a magical treasure trove of elements! Components, individually and in combination, work together, bringing a higher level of energy from Mother Earth.

I infuse each of my creations with healing properties, blessings, and intentions that help humans, pets, environments, and plants thrive.

Wearing a necklace of wood, copper, and crystal when planting, repotting, or watering transfers the energies from the necklace through your hands and into your plants. This connection is grounding and uplifting, especially as you witness the outcomes.

Helpful Tip: When bringing plants inside during the colder months, assist their transition by placing a wand next to, inside the pot, or above your plants. Plants, wood, copper, and crystal help to reduce blood pressure, heart rate, and stress. When our plants thrive, so do we.

Mother Earth has given us so many wonderful gifts, and I'm grateful I listened to a way to weave three of them together to uplift people, places, and plants. Visit GemMeWands.com today. I look forward to sharing my creations with you! a

CHERI PARAGI, Cheri Paragi, lifelong crystal enthusiast and artist, is the inventor of the GemMe Wands. Cheri connects with her guides, angels and Mother Earth as she creates unique spiritually guided wands, necklaces and car vent clips out of wood, copper and gemstones. Each GemMe Wands is designed with love and with the intention to uplift people, places and plants. To learn more, please visit GemMeWands.com or connect with Cheri at Cheri@GemMeWands.com.

Coffee with the Angels

by Cheryl Carrigan

Hello and welcome to August & September of 2024! Yikes, where oh where has this year gone???

As I sit here preparing to write my article on relationships, I touch base with the Angels. I ask the Angels to take a moment and walk through my magical life, reflecting on all the relationships I have had thus far. Wow!! I have a lot of relationships; however, the coolest connection I have is the relationship I have with the Angels and myself.

It is very clear that the most important relationship you will ever have is with yourself. It is from this relationship that all else grows. Relationships can be complicated. However, your relationship with yourself is the most beautiful gift you can give your heart and soul. The Angels and I would like you to spend some time getting to know you on a deep level, like you would your very best friend.

So...

Before you place your feet on the ground in the morning, take a moment to say "Thank You" for all that you have. Count your blessings!

Take time in the middle of the day to stop and take deep breaths. You deserve the break!

Take yourself out to dinner. Go ahead and make a reservation for one to a fancy restaurant.

Take yourself out to a movie. Grab a bucket of popcorn and something to drink, laugh, cry, and enjoy the show.

Buy yourself a new journal. Then, set some time aside to write what your heart wants you to hear.

Spend time outside amongst Mother Earth and listen.

Eat dessert first! Go ahead, we dare you!

This month, my request is very simple: Make time to get to know you, the real you. Build a solid connection. We promise it will have the most magical effect on your other relationship.

Do you want to build your relationship with your Angels? Come join me at Coffee with the Angels , where I will teach you Ask-Believe-Trust-Allow! I promise your Angels are waiting to connect with you! a

the Alchemical Marvel Unveiling Ormus:

BY DR. RON HOLMAN, PHD

Ormus, short for Orbitally Rearranged Mono Atomic Elements (ORMEs), represents a fascinating intersection of ancient alchemy and modern science. These mysterious particles, primarily from the platinum group of metals, materialize through a unique alchemical process that opens energetic portals, bridging the gap between potentiality and physical reality. The creation and harvesting of Ormus is a testament to the profound capabilities of alchemical practices that have intrigued humanity for centuries.

The Alchemical Genesis of Ormus

Ormus emerges from an alchemical formula that energetically opens a portal, allowing these monatomic particles to manifest from a state of pure potentiality. Unlike traditional chemical compounds that are synthesized through direct manipulation, it materializes when specific physical and non-physical conditions align perfectly. This unique aspect means this substance is not manufactured in the conventional sense, but is instead collected or harvested when the right alchemical conditions are met.

This process underscores the ancient belief in the transformative power of alchemy, where base materials could be transmuted into something finer through an energetic process. The alchemical ingredients and conditions necessary for Ormus to materialize create a pathway for these particles to emerge, making its collection an almost mystical endeavor.

Ormus is often hailed as an accelerant and amplifier, opening gateways both physically and psychically. Its effects are reported to extend across various aspects of human health and consciousness, offering a multitude of benefits that have intrigued both practitioners and users alike.

One of its most celebrated benefits is its reported ability to rejuvenate and tighten the skin, contributing to a more youthful appearance. Users often describe experiencing sparkling eyes and glowing skin, with some even suggesting that Ormus has anti-aging properties. This has made it a popular addition to beauty and wellness routines, promising a natural pathway to enhanced vitality and appearance.

Ormus is also reputed to support brain function, aiding in the refinement of neural pathways that govern mental operating programs, beliefs, and conditioning. By facilitating the emergence of imbalances and conditioned beliefs to the surface, it allows for these to be transmuted with greater ease and speed. This accelerates access to more refined mental and psychic abilities, enhancing cognitive clarity and mental agility.

On an emotional and psychic level, Ormus acts as a potent amplifier. It is said to hasten access to natural mental and psychic abilities, allowing individuals to experience heightened awareness, greater alertness, and a more attuned presence. This makes it a valuable tool for those engaged in spiritual practices, meditation, and other forms of inner work.

Awaken

Beyond individual cognitive and physical benefits, Ormus is reported to amplify the effects of herbal, homeopathic, and gemstone supplements. It enhances life force energy, promoting vigor, hardiness, and stamina. This increased vitality supports overall wellness, helping the body to prevail over illness and maintain a state of health and balance.

Interestingly, the benefits are not limited to humans alone. Animals and other life forms reportedly experience similar enhancements in awareness and vitality, demonstrating the broad-spectrum impact of these unique alchemical particles.

The Intriguing Promise of Ormus

The allure lies in its profound potential to unlock new dimensions of physical, mental, and spiritual well-being. By bridging ancient alchemical wisdom with contemporary interest in holistic health, Ormus continues to captivate those seeking a deeper understanding of the hidden forces that shape our existence. Whether used for its rejuvenating properties, cognitive enhancement, or its ability to amplify life force energy, it stands as a testament to the enduring mystery and transformative power of alchemy.

As we continue to explore and understand Ormus, it becomes clear that this remarkable substance holds the key to unlocking new realms of potential within ourselves and the world around us. The journey is one of discovery, transformation, and the continual pursuit of greater harmony and balance in life. Find out more at anualchemy.com/what-is-ormus a

Interwoven Realities

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN A HOME AND ITS INHABITANTS.

by CAROLE J. HYDER

There’s not much argument anymore that there is a connection between the concrete and the conceptual. Sometimes, this connection between concrete and conceptual creates a consciousness of its own. Artists, musicians, and authors will tell of their experiences of being lifted out of their presumed and planned direction with their art, music, or plot into something they hadn’t expected. An exciting intervention took place that was beyond them which was better than what they had planned.

As a painter, I’ve exper ienced some ethereal guidance leading me in a direction I wouldn’t have considered on my own.

I have been strongly encouraged at times to step out of the way to enable a new idea, image, color, or even technique to present itself onto the canvas. It was always a surprise to me and better than what I could have imagined. As a result, my relationship with that painting has changed forever.

4. Get its opinion on changes that are under consideration. Feel its reaction. Be open to the idea that your home may have a better plan or maybe even a cheaper one.

5. Make a scrapbook of photos of your home. It will capture the changes you’ve made over the years. Think of it like a baby book.

6. When something major goes wrong (broken garage door, leaking water heater, etc.), ask your home what that was about. There will be a message here.

7. Find a space where you can successfully connect with your home, such as a study, a den, a special chair, a certain time of the day.

It follows that, in that same vein, a home can also step forward into a relationship with its occupants and likewise create something magical. Like painting, this exalted experience requires trust, patience, and openness. Here are some ways to open the door (maybe even a literal one) to fostering a relationship with the place you call home.

1. Get in the habit of silently saying “hello” and “good-bye” when going in and out of your home.

2. Find a name for your home. This doesn’t require you to publicly announce its name or have a sign painted, but it enables you to greet the space quietly in your heart when you can call it by name. You may need to try a few name options before you find one that both you and your home like.

3. Write letters to your home. Trust me: this is a therapeutic and rewarding exercise for both you and your space.

8. Homes do not like clutter, so keep things in order.

9. Thank your home on many occasions for keeping you safe, dry, and warm. If appropriate, write a thank you note.

10. Keep in mind that this is a relationship, and you may need to give and take on some issues.

So, get to know your home as you would do with any new relationship. Ask it questions and determine its preferences. Does it like privacy or parties? Listen to it. Bring it flowers. Keep it clean. Your rewards will be forthcoming as you nurture this unusual but rewarding relationship.

By finding ways to connect with your space, you will not only be able to access answers to questions but also explore new possibilities and create the life that your home dreams for you.

The painting “Purple Silence” above exemplifies the concept of relationship. It is a pair of similar images but not the same – related but different from one another. By the way, some brushstrokes and color selections were not my idea, but they worked. Relationships. a

Carole J. Hyder can help you create a space that you love using not only the principles of Feng Shui in a home or office but also integrating those principles in her paintings as well. Whether a physical re-arrangement of a room or an inspired and intentional image on the wall, the energy of your space will be shifted to align with your goals.

Manifest Your Power

BY WES HAMILTON

As we enter August's powerful manifesting 8-vibrational energy, we find ourselves standing at the doorway of making our dreams come true. This is the manifesting energy you started learning more about and how to master in January 2024. In my monthly forecasts, I have been using the art and science of numerology, teaching what you need to know and develop to awaken your innate skills of manifesting your dreams.

I highly suggest you visit my website weshamilton.com and reread each month's lessons. You will be using these lessons this month to manifest your desires. Here is a recap of the manifesting skills you will want to practice this month and for the remainder of the year.

But first, let's look at what happens when August's 8- vibrational energy merges with the 8-vibrational energy in 2024. 8 + 8 = 16 becomes a karmic vibration of 16/7. This inspires you to explore a deeper aspect of who you are in this lifetime. It reminds you that you are a spiritual being having a human experience. As an awakened spiritual being, you have the innate ability to manifest your desires!

In January, using the wisdom of numerology, you became aware that the timing was ripe for you to manifest your desires. In February, you were guided to manifest supportive relationships. In March, you were alerted to manifest your creativity. April made you aware of using the innate power of mindfulness. In the month of May, I suggested you manifest opportunities. June made you aware of the values of manifesting a balanced life. July encouraged you to manifest your inner guidance. These skills make manifesting happen!

In addition to using the wisdom of numerology, here are three manifesting powers within each of us:

1. SPOKEN WORD: Your words carry immense vibrational energy. Affirm your intentional desires aloud. Speak in positive statements. Example: "I am an abundance magnet. I am a powerful force manifesting my desires." Imagine your words are the arrows taking your desires to hit the target of your manifested desires.

2. EMOTIONAL ENERGY: Your emotions fuel manifestation. Identify how you will feel having your desires manifested in your life. Your emotions become the magnetic tractor beam of energy that draws your desires back to you.

3. COMMITMENT: Manifesting requires continual activities and focused actions to keep you in alignment with your desired results. Create your plan of action to keep you connected to your desires, then follow the plan. Embrace unexpected challenges with positive thoughts, lessons, and growth opportunities.

Remember, you possess an innate power to create the life you desire. Embrace the manifestation process with an open heart and a willingness to take inspired action. Your dreams are closer than you think. The numbers give you the knowledge and power to manifest your desires. a

WES HAMILTON, MASTER NUMEROLOGIST brings a blend of extensive practical experience and extraordinary mystical know-how to his work. As a Master Numerologist, clients throughout the world seek his guidance and insight. His expertise has been honed over 40+ years and thousands of clients to deliver amazing results.

Your Most Important Relationship: YOU!

BY GAIL LYNN

Building a healthy relationship with yourself is essential for enhancing mental health, strengthening connections with others, and boosting work productivity. This often-overlooked relationship impacts every aspect of your life, from emotional well-being to how you interact with the world around you.

In today’s fast-paced world, we tend to seek advice from external “experts,” forgetting that we are our own best gurus. We’ve lost touch with our bodies and intuition. It’s time to reclaim our power and nurture ourselves. Put on your oxygen mask before helping others!

Tips to Get Your Relationship Started

1. Cultivate a Gratitude Practice: Start each day by acknowledging the things you are thankful for. This simple practice can shift your mindset from scarcity to abundance, fostering a positive outlook.

2. Do Things Alone: Spending time alone can be incredibly fulfilling. It allows you to explore your interests, reflect on your thoughts, and build a deeper connection with yourself.

3. Forgive Yourself: We are often our harshest critics. Learning to forgive yourself for past mistakes is crucial for moving forward and embracing self-compassion.

4. Set Boundaries: Establishing boundaries is a form of self-respect. It helps you protect your energy and prioritize your well-being, ensuring you are not overextended. Put your phone on DO NOT DISTURB more often.

5. Practice Relaxation: Incorporate relaxation techniques such as meditation, deep breathing, time in nature, or yoga into your daily routine. These practices help calm your mind and reduce stress.

6. Care for Your Needs: Pay attention to your physical, emotional, and mental needs. Whether it’s eating well (a healthy lifestyle of food choices is important), getting enough sleep, or seeking professional help when needed, taking care of yourself is vital.

If these tips seem foreign to you and you don’t know where to start, choose an attitude of gratitude. Begin each day with one thing in which you are grateful. Do that for a week and add a new and simple tip each week. Habits don’t form overnight. Take baby steps and build on each healthy habit.

How Can Harmonic Eggs Help?

The Harmonic Egg is a sound and light relaxation chamber designed to help you reconnect with your intuition and inner self. We are beings of sound and light, and the Harmonic Egg uses these elements to promote deep relaxation and healing.

Gail standing outside her Harmonic Egg

By immersing yourself in the Harmonic Egg, you can experience:

• Stress / Anxiety Relief: The combination of sound and light therapy can alleviate stress, which is often a precursor to various diseases.

• Trauma Release: It helps release past traumas that may be holding you back from achieving your dreams.

• Empowerment: By reconnecting with your highest self, you are empowered to pursue your goals and live your best life.

I heard a shocking statistic from Kristy Hall, a board- certified holistic nutritionist. She took the platform with me at the Naturally Inspired Health Summit in Loveland, Colorado.

She reported that nationally, we are spending $6.5 TRILLION in additional health care costs trying to manage symptoms of anxiety. And 54% of Americans have anxiety. I think that number is higher, but that was what she presented.

Nurturing a healthy relationship with yourself is the foundation of a fulfilling life. You can improve your overall well-being by practicing gratitude, spending time alone, forgiving yourself, setting boundaries, relaxing, and meeting your needs. Tools like the Harmonic Egg can further enhance this journey, helping you connect with your true self and live a more balanced and joyful life. Say it with me, right now: "I LOVE ME!" I didn’t hear you. Say it loud and proud! a

Gail Lynn, inventor and creator of the Harmonic Egg, is dedicated to harnessing the power of sound, light, and sacred geometry for self-healing. In 2007, Gail received a diagnosis of severe cardiovascular stress. When a series of light and sound treatments reversed her diagnosis, she set out to uncover the ancient history and modern science behind light and sound as healing therapies.

Healing Our Land Healing Our Land

BY ANNETTE RUGOLO

We are being called to heal our environments, and that means healing the land on which our homes are built. Just like us, the land we live on carries energy from the past. Even newly built homes on a piece of property where no houses previously existed can carry history from past events that occurred in that area.

Consider the long history of our country and all of the events that have happened since it was first inhabited by humans. The grief, anger, trauma, and abuse that was created as Europeans claimed this land as their own still exists in many parts of the country. For those who live in the southern and eastern areas of the country, there is also some very heavy energy created by the Revolutionary and Civil Wars. Once this energy is created, it remains until it is cleared.

As a Master Dowser, I have witnessed dozens of homes built on land carrying energy from a traumatic, sometimes horrific event. When the house is built, it now contains that energy, and after a family moves into their newly built home, they may start feeling depleted, out of balance, and

sometimes sick. What should have been their dream home turns into a nightmare, or at the very least, a bad decision.

The children in the homes are usually the first to feel or react to this energy. Nightmares, night terrors, and emotional imbalances begin to surface after the family moves in. The parents try to handle things in more traditional ways, most of the time without results.

Living in a home with unresolved trauma takes a lot of effort to stay above the lower vibrational field of the home and land. Over time, homeowners begin to feel worn out and depleted. It could be compared to holding two ten-pound weights at arm's length 24/7. After a while, it becomes impossible to sustain. Exhaustion, issues with sleeping, a lowered immune system, and emotional issues begin to surface.

If you are feeling some heavy energy or would like to begin healing your property, here are some simple steps you can take to start uplifting the energy:

1. Find a quiet space, go to your heart, and send energy to the heart of your land. If you don't feel a connection, it is giving you information that some energy needs to be cleared.

2. Visualize a Violet Light bathing your property. Violet Light has the ability to release energies created by past events.

3. Honor the land by burying rose quartz, clear quartz, or amethyst crystal somewhere on the property. As you hold the crystal, ask to be guided as to the best place to bury it.

4. Invite the nature spirits to help heal the land. Many people are starting to work in collaboration with the beings of Mother Earth, and they are waiting to be asked.

Everything we do with the intention of healing the land will create a change. The first step is to recognize that what you're feeling isn't your imagination and trust what you are feeling, seeing, and sensing. a

Goldenrod Is A Friend, Not Your Foe

BY WITCH JODI, RN

I am goldenrod, don’t mistake me for ragweed. I am an incredible asset to your herbal apothecary. However, I often get mistaken for ragweed, and because of this, people don’t like me. They think I am the cause of their allergy ailments when, in reality, I can help them.

Goldenrod is a marvelous herb for helping with skin disorders, inflammation, infections, and more. A goldenrod oil infusion can create an excellent salve for skin irritation and rashes, and is also great for eczema and minor skin wounds. If you have problems with muscle spasming, it's a wonderful salve to apply to muscles to help calm them down.

This herb is an anti-inflammatory, and is excellent for treating aches and pains. Reducing swelling helps to decrease pressure in joints and other areas of the body. It also helps the kidneys as it acts as a diuretic. When used in tea form, it’s said to help flush out kidney stones and even prevent them. Studies have shown that it stops inflammatory disease of the urinary tract. Goldenrod may be the herb for you if you are prone to kidney infections. Do you have an enlarged prostate? Goldenrod could help with that.

Goldenrod (Solidago) extract is shown to be antimicrobial and antifungal, which helps with illnesses and yeast infections, breaks down mucous in the lungs, and alleviates allergies, colds, and even flu symptoms. It is also great for relieving upper respiratory congestion.

Now that you know a bit more about me, goldenrod, maybe you could give me a try. As always, check with your primary MD before consuming any herbals. a

WITCH JODI, RN, owner of Midwest Witchery and Healing, uses organic and ethically sourced components, as well as hand creates her products during proper moon phases to ensure the most potent beneficial energies whatever your needs. Practicing witchcraft over 40 years, Jodi can help you with your spiritual needs. Find out more by visiting midwestwitcheryhealing.com

Relationships with Terpenes

WRITTEN BY MARIE SCHLUMPBERGER

While Cannabis might not be for everyone, sometimes "dating around" or trying different strains can bring you new insights into what to look for in these curious flowers. Terpenes are essentially the "personality traits" of a cannabis strain. Now, just like any relationship, it is important to have a stable and clear understanding of yourself, your needs, and any pre-existing conditions that might affect your overall experience. Getting to know how you interact with different terpenes can help you appreciate the benefits of today's variety of strains.

In relationships, everyone looks for different qualities. When it comes to Cannabis, the process can be similar. Some people enjoy a relationship that flows naturally, while others might have specific ideas about what makes it easy and manageable. The study of Terpenes is still early in its progress, but there have been convincing case studies that share how to find the most beneficial strain for the effect that you are looking for. After all, the right match—whether it's a partner or a cannabis strain—can make all the difference.

Myrcene is a terpene commonly found in Cannabis. It is particularly known for its anti-inflammatory properties, which can help reduce the production of certain inflammatory cells in the body and slow the progression of osteoarthritis. Those who have experienced the effects of myrcene often report its sedative qualities. However, it's essential to note that high doses can cause anxiety, as observed in mice studies.

Therefore, it's recommended to consume myrcene in small doses to enjoy its calming and sleep-inducing effects without adverse reactions. Myrcene-rich strains might be worth exploring if you're dealing with inflammation and seeking natural relief.

Caryophyllene is what gives black pepper its spice. Because it is so frequently encountered in foods, it is one of the few terpenes the FDA recognizes as "safe" to consume in large doses. It is also the only terpene known to interact directly with the endocannabinoid system CB2 receptors, which plays a large role in anxiety and depression disorders. Caryophyllene has also been known to delay the onset of epileptic seizures and is studied in treatments for neurodegenerative disorders and addiction. A strain that contains a high amount of Caryophyllene terpene might be an ideal choice for those who struggle with psychological ailments or are looking to increase a positive mindset.

Limonene isn't just a pleasant citrus aroma—it's also packed with impressive health benefits. Limonene has shown significant medical properties, particularly in reducing inflammation and anxiety, similar to caryophyllene. Additionally, studies suggest that limonene can aid in weight loss, act as an antidepressant, and serve as a powerful antioxidant. For those dealing with gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) or other gastrointestinal issues, limonene offers soothing relief. If you typically choose strains high in Myrcene for their relaxing effects but struggle with inflammatory diseases, consider trying a limonene-dominant strain. It could provide the additional health benefits you need to soothe the body and the mind.

cancer cells, combat bacteria and infections, work as an antioxidant, and open airways in asthma patients.

β -PINENE: This type is known for its earthy aroma and is found in basil, dill, parsley, and hops. Its flavor is a favorite among many experienced consumers.

Terpenes are not only found in Cannabis but also in various everyday products. Knowing the differences between each type is essential when selecting a strain. It can be overwhelming at first, but researching and experimenting in a safe environment will guide you in finding the best option for your needs.

Relationships are a central part of our lives, filled with highs, lows, and valuable lessons about ourselves and the world around us. Every day, we form connections with people, objects, and routines. A crucial aspect of life is identifying which relationships bring positive energy and personal growth versus those that might hold us back. By understanding Terpenes, you can gain a deep, introspective understanding of yourself. a

Pinene is a common terpene in the Cannabis family responsible for the pine trees' characteristic "piney fresh" scent. There are two types of Pinene, which is important to know to determine the compatibility of how each strain will affect you:

α -PINENE: Found in pine and conifer trees, rosemary, and orange peels. It improves cognitive function and memory, increases focus and alertness, and reduces anxiety. XPinene can show benefits in treating neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Huntington's, and multiple sclerosis. Additionally, it can help manage pain, reduce inflammation, fight

CARD ONE:

Focus and then Act - You have reached a pivotal point in your journey, where you have identified your deepest aspirations and innermost desires. After seeking guidance, it is now time to transform those prayers into tangible actions. Mere prayers are not enough; it is crucial to concentrate your thoughts and emotions. This is the moment to make a resolute commitment and start taking the necessary steps to manifest your dreams. The power to act is in your hands, and the time to wield it is now.

CARD TWO:

Nourish the Soul - You've been a spectator in the theater of your own life, observing from the sidelines. But now is the time to step into the spotlight and embrace the rich tapestry of experiences waiting for you. Take the opportunity to fully engage with each encounter. Life is a symphony of presence and appreciation. Always hold on to the memories you create along the way.

CARD THREE:

We are all Connected - It is a common misconception that we are solitary in this life. We enter and depart alone, but this is far from the truth. Every achievement is a collective effort, and you are never truly alone. Every action, every decision, and every thought is a part of a larger, interconnected web. Recognizing this empowers you to actively participate in your journey and the journeys of others. Start acknowledging the vital role you play in the grand tapestry of the universe.

CARD FOUR:

Let Go of the Old - We often enthusiastically embark on new ventures, only to encounter setbacks along the way. This can lead to moments of reflection as we try to discern what caused the endeavor to fall short of our expectations. It may not always be apparent at first, but sometimes, the key to success lies in abandoning familiar approaches in favor of fresh perspectives. To achieve success, it's essential to release outdated practices and beliefs that hinder progress. Embracing change and exploring new possibilities is crucial for paving the way toward a prosperous future.

CARD FIVE:

Hear the Ancient Ones - The increasing focus on history and reminiscing about the past stems from us living in a society marked by excessive consumption. Our relentless pursuit of more has led us astray, and we are in dire need of a different approach. If you find yourself at a crossroads, consider guidance from an elder, immersing yourself in ancient literature, or engaging in meditative practices to draw wisdom from those who have a wealth of life experiences.

FULL READING:

We are at the point where everything is falling into place. You've devoted a great deal of time to exploring your inner self, understanding your true nature, and identifying what no longer serves you. It's time to translate all this into action and take the necessary steps to manifest your thoughts into reality. Take the time to thoroughly examine all the details. Rushing through may cause you to overlook a crucial element that ties everything together. What would be the point of success if you didn't savor the journey? Please remember that you're not alone; unexpected sources of assistance are available to help you as you continue along this path.
