EVERYTHING THAT HAS A BEGINNING HAS AN END
Saying that everything has an end seems so obvious that it’s almost naïve. So you would wonder why anyone would bother saying it at all. However, did you know
that one of the Buddha’s disciples achieved what was then called ‘awakening’, and is now called ‘enlightenment’, when he heard this? This seems surprising until you start to ask yourself whether you really believe it. And then it gets a bit difficult to be totally honest. I think that if we’re honest with ourselves we would all admit we hope that there’s something which doesn’t have an end. I come from the world of classical music where composers hope that their works will be performed for centuries, like the music of Mozart and Beethoven. Peter Sculthorpe, the famous Australian composer, once boasted that a piece of his, written in 1954, was still being regularly performed by children who wouldn’t have a clue who the prime minister at that time was, and it is true. So we, along with all artists, scientists and politicians, just to name a few, work hard in the hope that something of our lives will be remembered and last. Whether it’s our children or our work, I think you’ll find that the hope is always there. And it’s amazing the effort and work we put into this. We can often find that accepting the obvious is one of the hardest things to do. We all know we are going to die, but death has now become a medical problem and sterilised rather than a natural part of life, and we have hidden it so much that few people have ever had the experience of seeing a dead body. And the sad thing is that when we sterilise death we also sterilise life.
AN INSTINCT FOR THE INFINITE
However, this statement is somewhat more subtle than just saying everything ends. It says that everything which has a beginning has an end. This implies that if something doesn’t has a beginning it doesn’t have an end. We seem to have an instinct for seeking something which doesn’t end and there is research suggesting that our brains are hardwired to seek spiritual experience – to seek something greater than ourselves, something beyond the limits of our minds and bodies, something infinite. Both mathematics and science have the concept of infinity and this means that our minds can certainly conceive of something endless. It’s very simple to get a feeling for this by thinking of the largest number you can, and then finding that you can always add 1. You can do this indefinitely and, in the same way, you can take away 1 from the smallest number you can think of. Therefore if something doesn’t have a beginning and an end it couldn’t be a thing, because a thing has a beginning. So it must be no-thing, and therefore mathematics also has the concept of zero,

nothing.
THE GREAT DISCOVERY OF THE MEDITATION TRADITION
And that’s what the Buddha discovered. If you look at your mind, when it is still and not thinking, there’s nothing there. This is a discovery everyone who follows a spiritual path can make. However, when nothing is there you also discover that you can’t find a beginning or an end to your mind. And that’s extraordinary. What’s also extraordinary is that you find your mind is still aware, but not aware of anything in particular. This awareness is just there. It is the foundation of our consciousness, in built in our brains and our senses, and so an integral part of our bodies. It exists without thought because it predates the development of the ability to think. One way of looking at it is as the potentiality of consciousness – that is, the potential to be conscious is inherent in our bodies, and so is fundamental to our ability to be aware of anything. It is the matrix from which our own individual consciousness and sense of identity develops. Over the millennia it’s been given many names; ‘the ground of being’, ‘the heart of awakening’, ‘the core of our being’ and ‘emptiness’. It is the great discovery of the meditation tradition and is the true beginning of the spiritual path. Your mind is so still that you are able to see everything clearly, without any of the stories which normally shape what you see: your thoughts, feelings and emotions, and everything in the world around you. In order to see clearly your mind needs to be still, and being able to see clearly is the essence of wisdom. We can see and feel our mind as vividly alive, clear, radiant and open, and we are capable of experiencing it ourselves, as the foundation of our own minds. We can also clearly see that everything which has a beginning has an end – that death is not separate from life but an integral part of it. Dr. Graham Williams has over thirty years’ experience teaching both meditation and mindfulness, is the Director of The Lifeflow Meditation Centre and an adjunct lecturer in the School of Medicine at Flinders University. He has written two books, Insight and Love which is in its third edition and Life in Balance. They are both available online.

How We Learn BY MARK NEPO No one can blossom the God within but you There was a young man who was eager to learn all he could about life. He was sincere and devoted. Soon after leaving his family, he came upon a baker and became his apprentice. He watched as the baker used a sieve to sift and refine his flour and sugar. The young man thought, this is how I'll sift the best from life; separating what is gross from what is fine. This is how I'll learn and think and work and love; filtering out the unwanted pieces. But while his heart became schooled at sifting out what is harsh and indigestible, he found that basing his life on only what is fine can be dangerous, like building a house on sand. Once sifted, nothing was foundational and there was nothing substantial enough to stand on. His life became like powder. In time, the apprentice left the baker knowing that sweet things are necessary but not enduring. In time, he came upon a winemaker and apprenticed with him. He watched as the winemaker let the blood-like wine ferment in large oak casks. After much waiting, he saw how the winemaker would strain the aging wine to catch the dregs and sediment, which had given it its taste but which themselves were undrinkable. Now he thought, this is how I'll strain the difficult lessons of life. This is how I'll let the lessons of pain and heartache age. This is how I'll strain what is drinkable from them. But the apprentice was surprised to watch the winemaker grow drunk from his own wine and saw how the pain and heartache surfaced anyway. So while it is possible and even admirable to strain out the broken pieces that life brings us, we still must guard against becoming intoxicated by the sediment of life. And so the apprentice moved on. By now he was no longer young, but middle-aged. As he tired, he came upon a farmer who gave him some water. They struck up a friendship and he saw that the farmer was a master at irrigation, at funneling water into the root systems that braided his land. He stayed on to learn how wide openings can gather water, how narrow pipes can carry it, how smaller openings can feed the water to the things that need it. So now he thought, this is how I will live. I will no longer try to get things out of life, but live as an instrument, as a funnel myself. I will open my heart wide and collect the waters of life and carry them through me to water things in need. He thought, this is how I will be authentic and of use. And the apprentice stayed with the farmer for many years. In times of plenty, they fed many. In times of lack, they kept everyone in water. And it was good to be of use. But over the years, the aging apprentice began to feel worn down by being a funnel, especially in the narrow part of him that carried love to others. Living like this had scoured his insides, and he felt, at times, that he was losing the depth and calm of the whole to this narrowing. By now, he was an old man. And when his friend died, the apprentice sat under the largest tree on the farm and thought about his life with the baker, the winemaker, and the farmer. He thought about
how his heart had been a sieve, a strainer, and a funnel. He could feel the gift of each and the cost of each. It was then that he left the farm and made his way to the sea, where he lived quietly, roaming the shore. In his remaining years he befriended a sponge diver and became fascinated by the simplicity of sponges to absorb without preference and to give without holding back. He thought, this is where I've been led. This is how I'll live what years are left, accepting like a sponge and giving like a sponge. And so he spent his days being porous and cleansing. TASTING THE HEART As we need to sleep and wake, we need to taste all forms of heart. As we need to breathe, we need to presence and sage: to open and absorb and narrow and hold on to and sift. For no one can blossom the God within but you. So water what you know, even more what you don't know. Taste everything and be surprised.
SPIRITUAL TOOLS for Coping with Pain Q & A WITH ENZA VITA Publisher of Innerself and author of Always Already Free. Please email your questions to enzavita@enzavita.com Q: How can I work with chronic pain? If everything is “perfect as it is,” how could a body be created that does not function perfectly all the time?
A: Awareness itself is a limitless ocean of eternal perfection but our present bodies are just one object that rises like a wave, stays for a while, and then falls back into the awareness that we are, just as everything else does. The body is a transient form, made of matter, and it is not permanent and yes, our physical form is subject to change, to disease, to injury, old age, and death. This is the natural order of the universe, and as such it is neither good nor bad, perfect nor imperfect. It’s just the natural cycle and flow of existence. When we work with pain, first we need to make the distinction between physical pain that is the body’s response to some outside stimulus and psychological pain or suffering.
PHYSICAL PAIN
If we are in any kind of physical pain, there is no need to masochistically grin and bear it. We want to do whatever we can in the moment to lessen the pain. Whether the pain is acute or chronic, the wise course of action would be to do whatever we can to alleviate it, including seeking prompt medical care.
PSYCHOLOGICAL PAIN
Mark Nepo moved and inspired readers and seekers all over the world with his #1 New York Times bestseller The Book of Awakening. Beloved as a poet, teacher, and storyteller, Mark has been called “one of the finest spiritual guides of our time,” “a consummate storyteller,” and “an eloquent spiritual teacher.” His work is widely accessible and used by many and his books have been translated into more than twenty languages.
Psychological pain or suffering, arises out of the false belief that one is a separate self, and this belief results in all kinds of fears, worries, conflicts, problems, and doubts. This type of suffering can be eradicated by recognizing the cause of that suffering, which is a false sense of self.
ACCEPTING WHAT WE CANNOT CHANGE
If our pain is psychological or if physical pain persists after medical care has been sought, then
we must try to gratefully accept what we cannot change. Instead of fearing the pain and trying to push it away, we focus intently upon it, especially when the pain is intense, because this offers us a spiritual practice that can help us realize what we are. We observe the strong sensations that are occurring in our body. To whom do they occur? Who is the experiencer, the sensor, that perceives these sensations? Who is the one suffering? We look very carefully and see if we can find that one. Is there actually anyone there that we can point to? These simple exercises teach two extremely powerful lessons: First, if I am the awareness that perceives the one who is suffering, then I can’t be that suffering someone! Secondly, if I am what is aware of the object, then I cannot be that object! Whatever it is, if I am aware of it, it cannot be me. This is the most fundamental step toward liberation that anybody can take. Enza is the editor and publisher of InnerSelf Newspaper and founder and director of the MahaShanti Foundation , a nonprofit organization dedicated to the awakening of all beings. Enza is also the author of the book Always Already Free and her latest book Instant Presence .

TO EVOKE THE
ODYSSEY Poems of Spiritual Transformation By Virginia Lee
The world today desperately needs clear voices of inspiration, peace, clarity and hope to remind us all of our own divine purpose here. Virginia’s words offer exactly this. In the time honoured tradition of the classic mystic/poets such as Kahlil Gibran, William Blake and Rumi, Virginia Lee offers up her work in joyful service to that profound one that sits within us all. LEO DRIOLI — Co-Editor of InnerSelf Newspaper and author of Every Moment’s a Miracle Virginia Lee entered into embodiment this lifetime with full memory of what we call Heaven, that placeless place that in truth surrounds us always, yet isn’t usually evident until we move beyond embodiment into the inner worlds between incarnation. This realm of peace and harmony inspires and informs all of Virginia’s work to this day, bringing the listener or reader of her poetry in direct contact with this same placeless place of peace and harmony within themselves.

HALF THE WORLD IS IN ONE,WISHING THEY COULD OUT, HALF THE WORLD IS OUT, WISHING THEY COULD GET IN My belief is that until you learn to love yourself 100% and do the forgiveness on your parents, you can never be 100% fully in a relationship! If you love yourself 50% then that’s all you’ll receive back. Recently we completed our 55th Man’s Inner Journey for men and what blew me away was the “most valuable learning,” from their perspective, was ‘to love themselves more and let go of the past.’ These men were beautiful, their emotions were at times heart-achingly raw, yet they were open to the possibility of allowing themselves to feel. I listened to stories that touched me deeply and wonder how some of us even survive childhood to get into a relationship in the first place! I see the same thing with women. It’s so important that as humans we learn to process our emotions – todays and yesterdays – in order to be fully present in the now. If we choose to stuff those emotions down, then they will explode one day… either in anger or sadness or disease… because they have to go somewhere! To be able to be fully aware and conscious of ourselves and what we feel and what other people’s words evoke in us is a Gift but often hard to handle. So we put up barriers and we put on masks and we think that’s who we are, when in fact most of us are vulnerable, scared little 3-5 year olds doing our best to pretend that “we are fine”. In our Tantra course I see couples who cannot even look each other in the eyes – even after 20 years of marriage. It’s like a foreign land, these beautiful eyes looking back, yearning for that intimacy… it is not broken down into into-mesee for nothing)… yet many don’t want to be seen and don’t know how to look. And many wonder why their relationship holds no joy, or passion or “life force”. Without eye contact our hearts begin to wilt and shrivel; often then our need for lovemaking diminishes and then the cycle of sharpness/ nagging enters our languaging; sometimes ending in divorce. So what’s missing in the world of relationship? Well connection is first and foremost and that doesn’t occur from genital to genital! It can only occur from eye to eye and then the connection goes into the heart, which, like a bulb given sunshine and water, can blossom and open. Without it lonely people in relationship are so often swayed by kind words and eye gazing from others who turn into lovers! All any of us really want is to be “seen” and felt and heard and loved in order to grow in our courage to re-open our broken, smashed, hurt, damaged hearts (even if we don’t know they have been). No one else can do that for you though so you need to examine your life through the microscope of truth. Are you really willing to do the work to heal the past and live in the present. If you are and you’re in a relationship then just sit quietly, no kids, no music, no wine, just two beings together and gaze into each other’s eyes and really see what you see there. Observe, don’t judge. How much of
www.innerself.com.au
you are you letting be seen? Who do you need to forgive is another question to ask yourself. John Bradshaw the world’s leading family therapist says he believes all families are dysfunctional in some way so start with your parents and
yourself and expand from there. We all do the best we can with the tools we have and generally it is not enough to live a life that thrives on all levels. The result of doing the work on yourself is peace, calm, joy, ease, no drama and of course love! Worth it? Absolutely.

Even the most exalted spiritual accomplishments are unimportant if we cannot be happy in the most basic and ordinary way because the greatest lesson is that the Universal must be wedded to the Personal for us to be fulfilled in our spiritual life. With freshness and a unique blend of spiritual insight, poetry and simple life wisdom, Leo Drioli draws our attention to everyday occurences in his daily life, which gives us insights and simple techniques for attuning ourselves to the natural and dynamic inner movement of our own lives, which is the key to finding joy both within and without.
in the mind, it's never fixed. Once you realize what real Knowing is, you welcome in the mini deaths that upturn and uproot the constructs. Welcoming in this Unknown Knowing is a constant reawakening moment to moment. If a part of you knows who you are, it's possible it's the real Knowing, but this cannot be held onto ... It's never a fixed state but a constant, ever fresh, ever newly-realized discovery of what is real ... right here, right now. And this cannot be laid claim to by the mind ... never! Whenever you feel confused ... good. Whenever you feel vulnerable ... good. These states of mind, as uncomfortable and painful as they may be, are the perfect doorway in. Allow them. The mind needs to know, it's its job to know. It's natural to try to know, it's how we survive in this form. But the spiritual Knowing, requires another view. A not-knowing. Or a willingness to sit in the discomfort of not-knowing at the very least. The willingness to be open to what is, no matter how it feels. The moment we claim, "I know", we don't really Know. In truth we can never know ... not the way the mind wants to know anyway. It's a dangerous way to live, for the ego anyway. Yet, it's the only authentic way to liberation. Let the devastation of the daily constructs take place daily ... this is what dying daily means. Don't bring your yesterday's insight or revelation in to today. Today requires no past. Today requires today's presence only. Your Presence now. This is pure, clear, true, and knows only in this moment, now. It's an innocence that requires no learning, only letting go. The grander the construct, the greater the ruin. Make it easy on yourself, come back to this eternal Present ... and finally see, this is all that's real. It's eternal too, but it cannot be frozen or fixed or held onto as it's everchanging as form. No thought is it ... no thing is it. You are it. The battle ends when finally, this is seen. Then all is welcomed into the world. Even this constant deconstruction. It must be so, for the Knowing to be the Unknown. "I don't know" is a very healthy state of mind. Watch closely. The mind loves to pretend it doesn't know as a way to know. This is not it. The not-knowing of awakened Presence allows even this, till it's time to release this too. You are ... this is all you really know. Let the rest flow out of This. An A to Z compilation of spiritual themes, the genius of this warm, inspiring book lies in its discovery of the miraculous in the mundane, and how, in our everyday life, there are many opportunities for awakening. The challenge is to recognise them. Reading this book will help you to witness every moment in your life — even those that seem filled with pain or conflict — in another way, a way that offers a sense of unity and joy, rather than separation and fear, plus a way to live a deeper, truer, more satisfying life in this world. LEO DRIOLI has been a pioneer in the consciousness movement for over 35 years. Launching one of Australia’s first spiritual magazines, Golden Age in 1988, he is currently editor of Innerself Newspaper and also a director of the MahaShanti Foundation for Awakening.

Menopausal Hair Loss – Natural Approaches that Can Help
One of the most distressing side effects of the menopausal and post menopausal years for many women is hair loss. It is common - up to 40% of women will experience this to one degree or another in menopause or post-menopause. The hair loss pattern is referred to as the “male type” as it emulates balding in men and it is due to the same mechanism – relative excess of the metabolically active form of testosterone – dihydrotestosterone or DHT. This hormone affects the hair follicle growth pattern leading to fewer hairs in the “growth” or “maintenance” phase. Over time this leads to noticeable thinning – usually on the crown of the head. In menopausal women it is the relative lack of estrogen that results in a relative excess of the male type hormones – androgens – including testosterone. Luckily reversing hair loss is possible using natural means. The main approach is to reduce the relative excess of androgens by blocking the conversion of the testosterone to the DHT form, raising the level of phytoestrogens in the body and increasing the conversion of testosterone to estrogen via a process called aromatisation. Testosterone is converted to the more active DHT form via an enzyme called 5 alpha reductase. Herbal medicines that block this enzyme and so reduce DHT include Saw Palmetto, Reishi mushroom and Green Tea. Spearmint also lowers free testosterone although the mechanism is not clear. It is also important not to overdo natural aromatase inhibitors such as coffee, red wine, and cacao (chocolate). Increasing the intake of dietary phytoestrogens is recommended unless there are contraindications (such as estrogen receptor positive cancer). Strong dietary phytoestrogens include many culinary herbs such as parsley and also soy products, although I would only recommend the use of tofu or tempeh as opposed to soy isolates found in soy milks etc. Phytoestrogenic herbs abound and include Shata-
8
vari, Red Clover, Sage and many others. We can also increase estrogen and decrease testosterone by encouraging aromasation. The main herbs used for this are White Paony and Licorice. As nutritional deficiencies can also lead to hair loss it is important to rule these out and not a bad idea to supplement Vitamins B, A, D, K2 and C as well as minerals including calcium, magnesium and zinc. Omega EFA found in fish oil can be useful as well as Alpha EFA found in the Sea Buckthorn plant. The trace mineral silica is important for hair health and often supplemented. Herbs high in silica include Horsetail, Nettle and Agrimony. Zeaxanthin, a carotinoid, has also been purported to help the situation. It is also very important to rule out iron deficiency and low thyroid function as they both can lead to hair loss. Checking mineral levels and heavy metals is also highly recommended via Hair Mineral Analysis. Zinc and copper levels in particular should be assessed (via Hair Mineral Analysis and blood tests) as copper opposes zinc and high copper can therefore contribute to hair loss. General health needs to be assessed and maximised as ill health can certainly contribute to the problem on many levels. And last but by far not least stress levels must be assessed and addressed if stress is high, chronic or acute. High stress leads to an increase in adrenal androgens. It is not uncommon for hair loss to follow a period of intense and/or prolonged stress. Herbal medicines for adrenal support include Rhodiola, Siberian ginseng, Withania, Rehmania and Panax ginseng. Lifestyle measures for stress management are equally important including exercise, yoga, meditation and counselling. Topical application of herbs as essential oils added to shampoos and conditioners may help. Rosemary is classically the herb used in this way. It is important to avoid harsh, chemical laden shampoo and conditioner – look for organic
products. Same goes for hair colouring – go with Henna or herbal products with NO fixatives – pure herbal only. I have found some great ones that actually turn hair dark brown – blonde is not so easy. There is also a hair loss condition known as traction alopecia. This is due to tightly pulling the hair into buns, plaits or whatever. Let your hair hang as freely as possible. A note of caution: if considering taking herbal medicine please consult a qualified herbalist as there certainly are cautions and contraindications with most medicines, including herbal ones!

Trauma and Adversity to Self Actualisation As I sit in my medical office each day, I get to witness how each person arrives with their pain and suffering. It is very tempting to be drawn in to manage and treat the symptoms (body, emotion or mind) and feel the hero that I’ve “fixed” the problem. Patients want that. But I’ve got to say, “Just hang on a minute, let’s look what’s underneath the stone first. What’s trying to come out?” I remind myself about my training time at PANCH community hospital at ER when we were trying to stop the pain of a very anxious woman with abdominal colic; then this “fat” woman gave birth to a screaming baby in the ladies toilet! She (and we) did not know she had been pregnant. I have been looking at adverse experiences more closely and more times than not I have seen people come out of that with greater awareness, greater commitment to living their lives more fully, lovingly and creatively. Having gone through the process most will say, “ I am glad this happened to me.” So it seems like each of these ordinary people with ordinary lives were all on a “Hero’s Journey” and found their Holy Grail. And yet most people in their ailments are caught in the system of being pathologised and therapised. There is room for immediate action of course. However if you think there is more to it than that then the following may interest you. Firstly, realise that the body never lies and body symptoms are our allies, letting us know that our body, emotions, mindsets and behaviors may not be congruent with our true self. In short, we are lying to ourselves in some way. “Huh?” you
10
say “Not that I know of.” Yes I say, whether you know it or not. What this mounts to is that you may not know as yet that there are hidden yearnings in your symptoms and your pain may be an evolutionary step to lead you from adversity to self actualisation. What we do now know is that in the developmental journey, one’s personality is molded by the environment, our primary carers’, familial and racial beliefs and attitudes as well as by adverse childhood or adulthood events. It has been shown by the ACE study (Adverse Childhood Experience) of more than 440,000 people that the greater the number of adverse childhood experiences, the greater the morbidity (disrupted Neurodevelopment, Social, Emotional and Cognitive Impairment, Adoption of Health Risk Behaviors, Disease Disability & Social Problems and Early Death). It has also been shown in the field of Epigenetics that the traumas of your grandparents and great-grandparents can impact your DNA and influence your health and your behaviors. In fact the history of the world can be carried in our genes as well as in our triune brain. In case you are starting to feel this is a lost cause. You would be happy to hear the epigeneticists also say we can “shake it off”! Shaking it off to me is a process of awakening through to the mystery of knowing. In this process of awakening we transition from automatism (the first stage of blind reflex responses) to awareness (the second stage) and is one of the most difficult that a person passes through. Awareness means acknowledgment of
Your Eyes never Lie
one’s limitations, facing wrong conclusions, destructive emotions, self-defeating behaviors and lack of integrity in the widest possible sense. The only way of knowing our highest and truest principles can come about is through a highly personal experience of the UNTRUTH that blurred the way, so far, to that particular truth. This transition is the most difficult that one has to pass through as the ego has difficulty admitting that it is driven by unreasonable fears, superstitions, generalisations, obsolete conditions that have no bearing on the present. It goes against its vanity for it likes to see itself more evolved and freed than it is. The longer one denies what is, the more one suffers. This stage requires courage and cultivation of one’s will. The stages of understanding and knowing follow when we become aware of our blind reflexes, understand the truth of why they existed (caused by specific misconceptions) and the disharmonies they created. Knowing has a healing effect on yourself and your entire environment. The signs to look out for when we are in untruth are when we have body symptoms and/or feelings of “stuckness” such as anxiety, grief stricken, disgusted, criticised, unsupported, unsafe, overwhelmed, worthless, helpless, conflicted. These are not due to deficiency of serotonin or anti-depressants. People can heal through a guided practice of mindfulness and focused sensory-grounded attention
to sensations and emotions felt in the body. The tried and tested fact is this - “In order to Heal, you must Feel.” When you do this, you will feel what journeyers of this process feel - a dissolving of the stuck emotion and sensation. As you go through the layers of stuck-ness and its dissolution, you will access the gems beneath revealing your Essence – primary essential energies of vibrancy, radiance, knowing, love and connection that lead you to create and actualise your true purpose.

Something to think about! Medicine is a science, and science is about data, numbers, and clinical trials, it’s about what can be measured (which is important), but life is much more than facts, its actually full of mystery, wonder and the unknown. So we need to look at all the variables, because you are a unique individual. This is why I love looking at the iris (the coloured portion of the eyes). The iris as mentioned in my previous columns tells us a lot about genetic characteristics and potentials, which have been encoded into your DNA from past generations. One of the features we look at in the iris are the variations of colours. All the different colours in your eyes indicate different potentials, for example there are only three coloured eyes, blue eyes, brown eyes and the mixed colour (meaning there are blue and brown eyes in this individual’s genetic pool). Yes I can hear you thinking “that’s not right, what about green?” Green eyes are a variation of blue eyes with a yellow wash over the top and can indicate that the individual needs to nurture their kidneys. Think of your kidneys as your battery terminals, “Are your batteries low, are you running on over-
drive?” Whether the yellow colouring has come through genetically, or from circumstances during this lifetime, it indicates the need to give the kidney’s a little extra support. Your kidneys can be affected by your emotions and are involved in the cleansing process of the body, they aid in the elimination of toxins, along with the skin, your bowel movements and your breathe i.e. when you breath out carbon dioxide. Here are a few tips to help you support your kidneys. There are some beautiful herbs to nourish the kidneys such as nettle or couch grass: drink adequate amounts of water; too much protein may overload the kidney with nitrogen rich metabolic waste. If kidney problems are suspected, the diet should be low in protein and protein should predominantly be from vegetable sources. Personal hygiene needs to be good, and dietary irritants should be avoided, also avoid excess coffee and tea etc. Another color we look at is brown, which can be seen as brown spots over the iris like freckles, these may relate to environmental toxins, which could also be seen in another service I provide in clinic such as Hair Tissue Testing. This involves cutting a small
Healthy Living tools to stay on track sample of hair directly along the scalp (usually from the underneath section of hair) and sending it to a laboratory to be interoperated. Why would we do this you may ask? Well, your hair is a tissue just like all your organs and it can indicate if your body has shunted toxic elements out of your bloodstream and stored them in your tissues. If you had high levels of toxic elements in your tissues, it may affect your nutritional and mineral status which is also tested through this sample of hair, these toxic elements may be found in some water pipes, car exhausts, atmospheric pollutants, cosmetics, cigarette smoke, pesticides, fertilizers, and contaminated seafood, just to name a few. Certain minerals are antagonistic to toxic elements and can lower levels in the body i.e. if your test came back with high levels of mercury from fish, pre 1980’s vaccines or old dental fillings, you may need to increase consumption of mineral selenium which may help chelate Mercury and lower those levels in your body. Some of the common toxic elements I see everyday are Cadmium, which may be seen more commonly in mechanics, welders, plumbers and tyre fitters, Mercury, which may be seen in dental technicians, sugar cane workers and petroleum workers. Aluminium may be seen in miners, refinery workers and plumbers. Arsenic may be found in the building industry, concrete workers, landscapers and bore drillers. SYMPTOMS SEEN IN R E L AT I O N T O T H E S E TOXIC ELEMENTS: Lead may affect your concentration, your memory, it may promote irritability or aggression. Mercury may cause memory loss, nervousness, depression, drowsiness or poor cognitive function. Arsenic may cause agitation, disorientation, or numbness and inflammation of nerves. Cadmium may also cause poor cognition function, drowsiness, irritability, anxiety and depression. WHAT CAN YOU DO TO HELP? It is time to start using chemical free products in your home. Not only will you be helping yourself and your family but the planet environmentally. Change is not always easy but we have to start somewhere and every little change you make can have a profound impact on the quality of your life and for all of mankind. Like one drop of water on a calm pond, it can have a ripple effect that travels on and on. Make your own first ripple toward a better and healthier future.

DEVINE SPINE WELLNESS CENTRE
Hi my name is Andy, a few years ago I was working very hard, wandering what I was actually doing, do you ever wonder why too? When you get up in the morning and you go to work, like most people, do you find life after a while becomes routine, like the days run into weeks, then months and even years and before you know it these years pass one, two, three, four, five years down the track? Until one day you start to ask the question: what is going on? Where am I heading? What am I doing? and Why am I here? That’s the question I asked myself years ago and decided to investigate what is going on with me and why do people do what they do? Why do people always know what they don’t want, but never focus on what they do want. So I decided to retrain myself in the art of me. Quickly realising that this was my most important investment. If you don’t think well, you don’t move well, you generally aren’t well, but if you correct your thinking, emotions, feelings and start to think and move in a better way, everything changes. Contact Andy on 0433 351 351 to find out how.

Here is a brief glimpse of her story. “If I see one more gym membership offer or new weight loss supplement, I think my mind will explode! Does this feeling ring a bell? Don’t despair…there IS a solution to health management that is simpler than you could ever imagine! After spending most of my life battling with weight fluctuations since childhood, I was about to give up all hope until I was introduced to the magic of Ayurveda. Yes, I did use the word magic. Why you ask? Well, it is because of Ayurveda, which literally translates to the science of life in Sanskrit that I have completely transformed, internally and externally, and continue to do so each and every day. It is because of Ayurveda, I wake up every day feeling excited, feeling alive, feeling at peace. It is because of Ayurveda, I am in love with life itself. It is because of Ayurveda, I managed to lose 22kg in under 3 months and dropped from 90kg to 68kg without a single protein shake or weight loss supplement in sight. Yes, that’s right, 22kg. This is not a typo! You may be a little sceptical, understandably as this sounds too good to be true. But it is true because it happened to me! It is because of the amazing results of my personal transformative journey, I now share the keys to my success with as many people as possible internationally through my Wellness Program called Transform Veda.” Shameela, Founder of Subconscious Health & Beyond, can be contacted on 0458 365 927 or shameela@ subconscioushealthbeyond.com for more information or a confidential discussion as she is ready to help you today!

A story of Herbal Research BY YIFAN YANG Professor Tu Youyou, an 85 year-old TCM researcher in China, received Nobel Prize in Medicine 2015. During the Vietnam War in the 1960s the Chinese government decided to develop a new drug for anti-malaria, which was highly prevalent in Vietnam. Many scientists conducted studies but their trials failed again and again. One day, Ms. Tu Youyou found a record of malaria treatment with a Chinese herb QING HAO Artemisia in an ancient medical book dated back to 1600 years in the Jin dynasty. Rather than use the traditional boiling extraction methods, the Jin dynasty TCM doctor used the raw herbal juice instead. With this low temperature extraction method the malarial parasite had a 100% killing rate. Soon after hers discovery, many
July-September 2016
TCM universities undertook clinical trials, and the chemical structure of the Artemisia was discovered. Through several decades of application and pharmaceutical refinement, the QING HAO SU (Artemisia extract drug) has been proven to become the most effective medicine for malaria surpassing Quinine, Soon it became the first choice of US marines for their overseas troops to combat malaria, approved by FDA, United States, as a formal drug in 2009. It is estimated that there are more than 100,000 TCM books that were published before 1900 which may contain hold great medical value waiting to be discovered. Studying Traditional Chinese Medicine is the first step of this discovery. Visit www.sitcm.edu.au

Australian Body-Mind-Spirit Titles & Authors “This brilliant contribution to our modern understanding of authentic identity and Presence brings us to a new awareness of ourselves and our innate wholeness and completeness.” — LAMA SURYA DAS, author of Awakening the Buddha Within
always already recognizing the natural wakefulness

enza vita
ALWAYS ALREADY FREE- RECOGNIZING THE NATURAL WAKEFULNESS WE WERE BORN WITH
BY ENZA VITA Based on Enza’s own experience, Always Already Free is a guide to discovering the deepest truth about who we are. In this book, the author presents her own personal direct encounter with the awakened state and guides the reader from the seeking process through the integration of spiritual enlightenment into everyday life and reveals that enlightenment is not a faraway dream, intellectual knowledge or even an experience but the direct realization of our true nature always available here and now. “While it’s true that we are always the Self”– says Enza Vita “if this hasn’t been truly and directly realized, this knowledge won’t do us any good. Just knowing that there is no gate to pass through doesn’t mean that we are at the end of the search, not if we are still standing outside that gateless gate. Realization is not about you, the wave, realizing it is ocean. The ocean realizes itself in you and reveals itself to have never been just a wave.”
“This brilliant contribution to our modern understanding of authentic identity and Presence brings us to a new awareness of ourselves and our innate wholeness and completeness. Enza’s personal awakening story, in the first few pages, is worth the price of admission. Enlightened wisdom is like an endangered natural resource today, which we overlook at our peril; let’s join in exploring and developing our own innate transformational resources for a change.” — LAMA SURYA DAS, author of Awakening the Buddha Within

INSTANT PRESENCE - ALLOWING MEDITATION TO HAPPEN
BY ENZA VITA Excerpted from Always Already Free by Enza Vita, this companion pocketbook offers the essential practice of “Instant Presence”. I’m not teaching to transmit a tradition or carry on a lineage– says Enza Vita; I’m teaching to awaken whoever may be interested in awakening .Becoming familiar with your own sweet self is the practice I teach. Another name for it is Instant Presence. “This is a great contribution to our appreciation of the genuine voice of Pure Presence. It brings us to a deeper awareness of what it means to study the self and our intrinsic true nature as that which is already perfect, whole and complete. It is certainly worthy of your time and attention. — ZEN MASTER D. GENPO MERZEL, author of Big Mind, Big Heart

EVERY MOMENT’S A MIRACLE
BY LEO DRIOLI With freshness and a unique blend of spiritual insight, poetry and simple life wisdom, Leo Drioli draws our attention to everyday occurrences in his daily life, which offer insights together with simple techniques for attuning ourselves to the natural and dynamic inner movement of our own lives, which is the key to finding joy both within and without. Reading this book will help you to witness every moment in your life – even those that seem filled with pain or conflict – in another way, a way that brings a sense of unity rather than separation and fear, plus a deeper, truer, more satisfying life in this world. “If a book had a soul, then this book would be brimming with Spirit. Leo has a unique way of conveying deep truths using simple, yet beautiful language. His words follow a direct route from the mind to the heart, and can touch anyone, no matter where they are on their spiritual path. ” Paperback: 120 pages/$19.95 (includes delivery) Digital: $9.95 (delivered to your Inbox)
LET YOUR SPIRIT SING
BY LEO DRIOLI Leo’s songs come from the heart, capturing insight and wisdom teachings, yet crafted as pop songs. His love for life, his joy in noticing the detail … especially the deeper significance of each moment keeps him alive and awake to the inner whisperings and nudges of Spirit … constantly offering a deeper insight or a simpler way of saying something ageless in a refreshingly new way. “Leo Drioli’s sound is similar to that of Cat Stevens and John Lennon – ruminations that are of an inspirational, motivational and expressive nature.” — KYLE JARMINER, The Examiner

to a special place in nature, alone, seeking guidance for a particular issue in their life. By providing a sacred space, setting a powerful intention, using a melodic didgeridoo or drumming sound track and 13 to 16 Young Living Essential Oil blends, Room2Heal offers a powerful way to move through stuck emotions and psychological blocks. Emotions are energy. A negative emotion that hasn’t been released can store in skin tissue and organs of the body. These suppressed emotions vibrate lower than a normal healthy human body. Essential oils have a frequency and they vibrate much higher than the human body, so when an essential oil comes into contact with the skin or organ it raises the vibration of that area, which releases the energy that was stuck there. This is a very powerful and gentle way back to restoring emotional health, without the need to talk about or even consciously know what the issue or blockage is, or what caused it. “I achieve great results for all my clients and offer a moneyback guarantee, along with 3 Vision Quest sessions for $300.00. “ ….

WHO WERE YOU IN YOUR PAST LIVES?
As featured on Oprah, The Esalen Institute and The Chopra Centre Dr Charles Richards is touring Australia in July and August 2016, to present, to both public and practitioners, a ground-breaking process that can reveal the reality of past lives for ourselves. We caught up with Dr Charles for the following interview. What is Soul Journey Therapy?
Soul Journey Therapy was designed to provide a glimpse in fullconsciousness (without hypnosis) of the bigger picture of why we are here and how we can more easily navigate the dharma (higher purpose) of our life and relationships. A past-life recalled is not always a past-life resolved. If this was the case, a good psychic could just tell you what happened in a past-life that has caused your present life problem or condition, and with that information you would be cured. To resolve this hypnotic effect of pastlife trauma we must re-experience the past-life in full-consciousness. We can then discharge the painful emotion stored in the experience.
What kind of concerns can be addressed through Soul Journey Therapy?
Fears, Phobias, Trust issues, Authority issues, Depression, Low self-worth, Anxiety attacks, Chronic patterns of dysfunction, Unwanted emotional attachments, Obsessions, Compulsions, Fixations and more. Any chronic, exaggerated response in this life is symptomatic of a past-life memory. The unique,

therapeutic feature of Soul Journey Therapy is that once a core or key past-life or lives relating to a karmic pattern have been re-experienced and discharged, symptoms fall away and behavior changes almost instantaneously. Nonessential karmic residue has been removed, much like getting rid of unwanted baggage you’ve been carrying around your whole life. This happens without the typically long periods of therapy, analysis, or interpretation found in traditional psychotherapy.
tive or negative influence on health, emotions, and relationships. • How the Soul’s past-life memories with significant others can be accessed in full-consciousness and lifelong emotional, physical, and core issues with relationships can be healed more effectively and in much less time than traditional or alternative healing methods. • What it’s like to recall afterdeath reunions during the betweenlife state where agreements are made with other Souls, which affect love and relationships today.
What about the period between lives?
Do all participants at your workshops experience their past lives?
Soul Journey Therapy can also allow participants to explore the in-between-life realm experienced after death or before birth. In a state of full-consciousness we can venture into realms where people who have had near-death experiences vividly describe. Such experiences can lead to great insight and enlightenment into who we are, what we are here to do, and where we are going. One can also awaken lost or blocked talents and skills from past-lives.
Yes participants experience at least one past life.
What happens between lifetimes?
Between lifetimes the Soul has a much greater awareness of itself as a spiritual being beyond the limitations of a physical body. This is where you meet with loved ones and your Soul Group, review pastlives, see the source and nature of Karmic Relationships, receive specialized training, or learn higher spiritual truths. The between-life state is where Soul comes to terms with where you have been and where you are going next.
What if I don’t believe in past lives or reincarnation?
The process works regardless of belief in past-lives or reincarnation. By recalling and reliving past-lives, experiences between lives, and beyond, rapid change can result. It only takes cooperation in the process, not belief, to get results. “I have found that the influence of past-lives is a lot like the influence of gravity. They influence us all whether we believe they do or not.
What can people attending your workshops expect to learn and experience?

WHOLE LIFE EXPO
MANIFESTING IT ALL WITH EASE AND KEEPING IT!
Unlocking something even more powerful than Willpower! BY JAAN JERABEK Ever wondered how some people seem to bring things into their life easily? We may not be aware of all the energy & groundwork that they may have put into their goals in the past and all we see is seemingly a few actions with massive outcomes, but many of us really do manifest with ease from the ‘get go’. It is called Alignment. The art & science of Co-creation. More powerful than willpower alone! When we align our will with Gods will, we align with all of life. Life supports us 100% and helps us along the way instead of continually putting up road blocks & obstacles along the way. We leave behind the paradigm of having to put in 10 units of energy to get 1 unit back. Instead we enter a new reality of putting in 1 unit of energy to get 10 units back! Sound Good? This is Alignment. Alignment with the highest Good & Truth and our Personal Soul Level Integrity. Doing what we are meant to be doing. Alignment with the truth that life IS meant to be easy, that life & people supporting us. Alignment with the truth that we are all children of God who deserve Gods abundant love in all its forms – fulfilling & meaningful relationships, inner peace, health & wealth… with ease. So what stops people experiencing this reality? Inner obstacles. After over 20 years of professionally facilitating groups, I have observed the following dynamics interplay in our Psychological blocks that directly interfere with our life purpose alignment: A) Beliefs that result in the experience of love not being there for us. Love is the greatest experience of inner richness & abundance, all other richness is connected to it. If your heart is not open to the full extent of love available, it will not be open to other forms of richness such as external richness & abundance. ‘’ I do not deserve love/ Not good enough to be loved’’ is a lie. We have the tools to open up the deeper layers of the unconscious,
become aware of and release that which we do not know that we do not know. B) The developed habit & associated belief systems that result from the actual experience of a life of accumulating emotional baggage itself. Our psychological blocks are charged with so much heavy and dense emotional energy and we have grown so used to dragging a huge & heavy amount of baggage around with us, that what results is… experiencing and growing used to the habit of struggling under a life-force depleting weight. This is what makes us think & believe that ‘’Life is a struggle” & ‘’ Life is Hard’’ – Another lie! We have the tools to genuinely release the heavy baggage and start to experience, hence form a new habit of ease. C) These 2 ( A & B ) result in a lack of clarity around our life purpose. How? When one is aligned and on track with their life purpose a person experiences great joy in all that they have to do to manifest their vision. They experience a high degree of self worth, dignity, nobility and honour. They experience a high level of external abundance and abundance & richness on ALL levels. To many of us, most of us really, these powerful and positive feelings & peak states are just too alien, opposite of and even threatening to our inner reality. So we either not start the journey… Or as it was in my case, I manifested EXACTLY what I wanted, The Estate on a 100 acres to run my programs, an incredible wife – Model with a science degree (Beauty and Brains), The Mercedes, every manchild toy I ever wanted…and then proceeded to try and destroy it all…Nearly lost it all. Ever heard of Sabotage? External Abundance does not guarantee lasting internal & external abundance. But, Internal Abundance does guarantee lasting internal & external abundance. You may be on track & aligned with your life purpose, but make things much more difficult then
they need to be, hence things taking much longer than anticipated. You may be experiencing financial flow issues. You might feel ‘Stuck’ as you have been aligned for a long time now, things have been flowing, but you are experiencing some form of ‘stalemate’ at the moment or recently you have been experiencing struggle, lack of flow, even a lack of fulfilment in your vision of years/ decades and want to feel your initial inspiration, excitement, motivation and drive like you did in the early stages. All of these are indicators of Psychological blocks coming to the surface and needing assistance in removing them for good. Many people respond with ‘’Of course I believe I am good enough to be/ deserving of being lovable’’ and ‘’ Of course I want life to be easy, without struggle’’ I have no ‘çhildhood’ issues or emotional baggage or the classic ‘’I have dealt with those things in me!’’ All I have to say is…BE VERY CAREFUL. Only in arrogance and/ or ignorance can a person say that in my experience, and I speak from experience. What’s the solution? Easy. Cathartic Breathwork. Jaan Jerabek has been an advocate of Rebirthing Style/ Cathartic Breathwork being recognized as the future of therapy & human potential actualization since his late teens.

Celebration of All Things Positive and Uplifting
Something truly magical is happening here, and we are absolutely thrilled to be a part of it! Many years ago we started dreaming about creating a vibrant festival celebrating and showcasing all things positive, uplifting, natural and enlightening and just 6 months ago, while holidaying in Bali (the Heart Chakra of the planet) over Christmas, all the pieces began to fall into place. Day by day, as we sat in the sun soaking up the joy and peace of that magical isle, the vision for the Whole Life Expo began to be birthed, and as soon as we returned to Australia we wasted no time in grounding it. Now, each day the Whole Life Expo, to be held on 25 – 27 November in Adelaide South Australia, gathers greater support, energy and momentum as the vision expands, shifts, deepens and awakens into a huge reality destined to become the greatest event of its kind ever to be held in the Southern Hemisphere. 300 stands will be there filled with services and products that will inform, uplift, awaken, heal and support you on your own journey to wholeness. A vast array of healers, presenters, teachers, guides, entertainers and performers presenting on 2 stages and 7 workshop spaces over the 3 days.
SOME OF OUR SPECIAL GUESTS INCLUDE
THE GYUTO MONKS OF TIBET Tantric masters of Tibetan Buddhist ritual and ceremony, the monks chant in a deep harmonic overtone, unique on the planet which has a visceral positive impact on the listener and has accorded them virtual rock star status around the world – a fact unrecognised and oblivious to them – to be in their presence is to experience pure love and acceptance without judgment and millions have benefitted. The Gyuto Monks will be creating a Sand Mandala in the heart of the venue over the three days along with presenting regular Mantra Chanting and Meditation sessions. BEN LEE – Much loved singersongwriter, multiple ARIA Award winner and humanitarian Ben Lee will be headlining the Conscious Music concert on Saturday, performing many of his hits such as “We’re All in This Together” and “Catch My Disease”, along with songs from his new album “Freedom, Love & the Recuperation of the Human Mind”, an album about

SOUL TO SOUL Q & A WITH CINZIA VUATtions this year, it's your final year
The Difference Between a “reading” and a “READING” BY MARION WEATHERBURN Renee came to see me one Saturday. Normally, before a reading, I sit and tune in to the person, writing down any information I “saw, heard and felt”, noting messages from “visitors” and any incidents. Renee’s reading was profound. Imagine receiving Renee’s Reading … How would you feel? I was nervous. Renee arrived. We sat and chatted. Renee asked “Do you want to know why I’m here?” “No, please let me go first”. “Renee, I know that you want to go back to work as a nurse and are worried about putting your 3 year old son into day care. You are worried about what your ex-Mother in Law will think”. “Is that correct?” Renee replied “Oh yes, that’s exactly why I’m here.” I told her that returning to work was the best thing she could do for her and her son and to ignore her ex-Mother in Law concerns. The universe blesses your decision to go back to work I told her! “Thank you!” Renee stood to leave. I asked her to sit as I was about to tell her something important. “Whilst I was preparing for today, I received a visit from a lovely guy named “Robert” with red curly hair and freckles”. “Robert showed me a gun! It had a large brown barrel and an ivory handle with a horse carved into to it.” I saw silent tears rolling down Renee’s face. “Renee, Robert told me he had not checked the gun before cleaning it. It killed him with the last bullet. Robert said that you, were and still are the ONLY person that believed an accident had taken his life”. Then, Renee, no longer the quiet woman I’d met earlier, leapt up and proclaimed “I KNEW IT WAS AN ACCIDENT! EVEN HIS MOTHER STOOD UP AT THE FUNERAL BERATING HIM FOR BRINGING SUCH ANGUISH TO HER FAMILY!”. “I knew” said Renee. “I knew”. I was covered in goose bumps. Renee looked shocked. This was not what she’d expected! Renee confirmed everything Robert told me earlier. Robert said Renee had always been and always would be his best friend. All she need do was think of him and he would be by her side. Robert asked me to place Renee’s hand on the seat beside her so he could hold it. I saw Renee visibly flinch when Robert held her hand. “Oh my! I think I just felt him! Could I have?” They sat this way for 25 minutes. Me! I was in awe! Everything I’d received before Renee arrived was verified by all of Renee’s tears. Renee looked at me peacefully and said “Marion, may I hug you? You have given me back my best friend and closure! How can I ever thank you?” “I came here to get reassurance
18
my 3 year old son would be OK in day care whilst I went back to nursing, a job I love. I wish I’d taped this conversation as it’s simply unbelievable”. I pointed to the Reading tied with a ribbon in front of her. “There’s your reading as I received it earlier”. We hugged. Renee left, smiling. I relived the Reading over in my mind. Was it real? It certainly was! At the beginning, I asked you to imagine what it would feel like for this Reading to have been yours! How did it feel I wonder? What on earth would my next reading bring? I couldn’t wait to find out. MY INTERPRETATION OF THE READING Renee came with two questions about her life. She received clear direction. These types of readings are what I call “readings for the Physical World and Self”. Often we seek guidance when we can’t make a decision for ourselves. We need a Psychic to “show us our options and if we’re lucky, a clear path and direction. We’ve all experienced hunches or gut feelings. You don’t need to visit a Psychic Medium for that kind of information. What you need a Psychic Medium for is to hope that you too, will receive a visit from a very special friend who has been following you all your life until you finally get to a place where they can contact you. That’s a real READING and that’s why I always capitalise the first letter of the word Reading! I encourage you to experience the difference for yourself. I did. M a r i o n Weatherburn is a naturally gifted Psychic Medium who is currently writing her first book called “Caught Between Two Worlds”. She will be sharing a chapter with Innerself readers every edition. For further details phone 0407 812 233 or email marionpw1962@ gmail.com
Divine Journeying BY CAROLYNN MILNE Archangel Haniel, Bringing Harmony. I ask to be taken to a place of peace and harmony where I can rest and recover. A place where I can recover my balance and my power in life. I find myself beside a little stream of water and I follow it along down a steep clay hill until I am looking down onto a beautiful little rocky bay. There are no other sounds, but the soft wash of the waves and the birds. The sky and sea are blue. All is peace and harmony. Archangel Haniel, “This is a space of peace and harmony to encounter your Soul. A space of peace and harmony to rest and rejuvenate. This is necessary. On your plane everything is hustle and bustle, everything is striving and strife. There has to be a space in between for you to recuperate and recover before your next battle.” Suddenly we have our toes in the waves, the water is cool and clean, the waves scour the rocks with a gentle wash. Archangel Haniel, “Your Souls come from the same place my Soul comes from. Your Souls are all Divine. They come from the Creator of the All. Each Soul craves the nurturing of peace and harmony. Each Soul craves the reconnection to that Divine creative Force. Only in this intense peace and harmony can you reconnect to that peace and harmony of the creative Force, from whence you came. Plan your lives for regular breaks in peace and harmony in nature. Plan your lives to recharge your batteries, rejuvenate your Souls and move back into your true power. “Only in this way will you have the energy and the clarity to achieve all you need to achieve in this lifetime. Only in this way will you move forward, with your physical life and also with your Soul jour-
ney, your spiritual awakening, your understanding of your true self. “I love myself enough to allocate time to peace and harmony. “I love myself enough to allow the rejuvenation of my body, mind and Soul. “Call upon me if you are having trouble finding a place to connect to the peace and harmony that your soul craves. Call upon all of the Archangels, they will help you with peace and harmony always. “Blessings of peace and harmony to you all.” - Haniel. Angel of Harmony. The gentle swishing of the waves brought me to that place of peace and harmony that is beyond all understanding. With that peace and harmony I felt the beautiful love and energy of my own Soul. If there is no place in nature or peace in your busy life, you can do this simple journey with Haniel, and find this lovely little Bay of Peace to rejuvenate your own Souls. Blessings, Carolynn. Workshops I currently offer an online learning environment. This is a safe place for people to learn how to grow spiritually through their Angel connections in their own home and at their own pace, while at the same time receiving support I also do Reiki, Energy Master, and Divine Journeying workshops, healings, readings, and phone readings from my centre at Redland Bay Rd Capalaba.4157 If you would like to receive more information about any of my services Visit www.angelicconnections.com.au or contact me :Phone: 0422 864 727 Or 0732 063 509 Email: carolynnmilne@ gmail.com
Hi Cinzia, Please can you see if my job will change for me. I'm worried as there is lots changing at work. Thank you. Glenys ADELAIDE. Hi Glenys, My guides pass on that management is making quite a lot of changes at your workplace but that these workplace changes are necessary and will cause improvements for everyone concerned. Please do not stress or worry about your job. This is a good thing and everyone will benefit from it and there's going to be work related training coming up for you. My love and best wishes, Cinzia. Please Cinzia can you tell me about my relationship. I'm divorced three years and I've met someone a year ago and while we don't live together I feel unhappy and controlled in this relationship. I am unhappy but I feel stuck can you shed some light please? Mark (Address withheld by request). Yes Mark! I feel that you are both struggling with this relationship, but I'm told you are both growing from it also and this is probably why you both seem to be hanging in there. I can hear you both talking about going away overseas on a trip and I see you going on this overseas trip, so I know that you are hanging in there together! I believe you both are learning to stand in your own power and find your loving voice and speak your truth without arguing. You guys are going to make it!. Your guide suggest getting some counselling help with things. My love and best wishes, Cinzia. Dear Cinzia Hi Cinzia, I'm in the middle of exams and very hard at work at the moment juggling it all. Can you see me passing well and being able to meet all these commitments at the same time. Please, thank you. Sandra. (Address withheld by request) Dear Sandra, Absolutely sweetie, you will do well!! I am being shown celebra-
and you will succeed darling. Also I see you moving from the place you live again at the moment. That happens around September. Also, I have a short trip this year interstate. This year 2016 is a completion year for you, it's successful, so keep up the great work and reward yourself lavishly! My love and best wishes, Cinzia
FEEDBACK
Dear Cinzia I rang you up desperate because I had left my work and lost my work utility keys somewhere – and my work needed them the very next day. I had looked everywhere, retraced my steps, gone to every business that I stopped off at, I had looked everywhere and I was tearing my hair out. It was a weird idea to ring you but I just had no idea what else I could do and I was worried about what would happen with my job. When you told me that the keys had not even left my work and was sitting on a box in or near a factory I didn't believe it, you told me to recheck with the factory and that someone would be ringing me about it very soon and at the time I thought I had wasted my call because I absolutely knew I had left my work with them. I nonetheless rang and asked them to search but figured there was no point hoping. At least that's what I thought! Less then 15 minutes after hanging up the phone I got a phone call back from night shift, the keys had been left on a box in the storeroom next to our main workplace! I couldn't believe it. I had totally forgotten going there just before leaving to go on rounds. Thanks!

Resolving the Conflict Between You and Yourself
PsychicREALMS WITH ELISABETH JENSEN
BY MEDICAL INTUITIVE, RACHELLE TERRY
Dip App Science (Community Health Nursing)
HOW SPIRIT DOCTORS HEAL Spirit Doctors are amazing to work with and they seem to specialise in helping certain types of disorders and disease processes that are otherwise impossible or difficult to heal with our current medical and energy healing treatments. I personally work closely with Ancient Egyptian Spirit Doctors plus have experienced and often observed the healing methods of the Spirit Doctors who work through John of God, the famous full trance healing medium in Brazil known as Medium Joao.
ANCIENT EGYPTIAN SPIRIT DOCTORS
These were the ancient Medical Doctors who did surgery and prescribed medicinal herbs and Essential Oils in Ancient Egypt or were Spiritual Healing Priestesses and Midwives. Very different to Divinities and Angels who mainly work with different colours and vibrations of Divine Energy plus respond to our prayers. Egyptian Spirit Doctors firstly need a Healing Medium to work through – they need to transmute their powerful energy first then they use this energy to perform healing on the patient by transforming their energy to a much higher vibration. It’s much more intense than say just working with Universal or Reiki Energy and the Spirit Doctors seem to use this energy almost as a fluid to wash the patients Physi-
cal and Energy Body clean before performing Spiritual or Psychic Surgery. Spiritual Surgery is a gentle enough energy healing process but with Psychic Surgery the patient often feels very relaxed and aware of energy moving through them although later often feels very tired as if they have had Physical Surgery and need a few days to rest and recover. I have experienced a patient’s whole spine seem to move and straighten or a painful neck just suddenly click into place with these Spirit Doctors and I usually combine them with Healing Energy from the Ancient Egyptian Divinities.
JOHN OF GOD SPIRIT DOCTORS
The Spirit Doctors from the Casa de Dom Inacio in Abadiania, Brazil are very highly evolved Spirits who have been Medical Doctors, Saints or Healing Priests in past incarnations. They work through the body of Medium Joao but when he is seeing patients many mediums sit in meditation in a Healing Current and the Spirit Doctors make use of their combined energy as well. The Spirit Doctors firstly incorporate into Medium Joao’s body and he goes into a deep trance and takes on the personality of the Spirit – so for instance he will be very straight to the point and stern when with Dr Augusto, who used to be a
Military Doctor, arrives to perform amazing physical surgery using scalpels and instruments or else just giving invisible surgery. There is another dimension just parallel but hidden to us humans where more Spirit Doctors can transfer a wave of energy that puts the patient into a type of deep Mesmeric Trance using this Spiritual Anaesthesia so no pain is felt during the physical or spiritual surgery even as sutures are inserted into the person afterwards. X-rays have often shown physical sutures in place put there by the Doctors after a healing then later dissolved. Again the processes are all completed by taking invisible energy fluid (Ectoplasm) from the Mediums body and energy field then transmuting it to create positive change in the patient’s body. So a request needs to be placed to the Spirit Doctors, then a Medium needs to be in deep or unconscious trance for the Process to be successfully completed. Of course it’s more complex than that but this information comes from research on the subject plus direct observation. The Spirit Doctors show me psychically what they
do but they don’t choose to reveal all their secrets!
WHEN YOU ARE READY THE HEALING HAPPENS
This is the other amazing thing – The Spirit Doctors know ALL about each person so sometimes they will instantly heal a father who has children to support so he can return to work, but not heal an another person who keeps coming with a list of complaints but not much insight into himself, then totally heal another person first time who has cleared their Karma and truly wants to be healed. I have had a client rapidly healed of Cancer simply through a bright White Light that appeared to them just after a Distance Healing request was given to John of God on their behalf. So finally yes, the Spirit Doctors are wise and all-knowing with a powerful energy they know how to use to instantly create healing for humans at any given moment if they so choose. Their knowledge comes from the Akashic Records plus from Divinities and God/Source. Their wisdom mostly seems to be their own evolved consciousness that is full of Light and never ending compassion for us humans here on Earth School. Crystals are another source of Light and Energy for the Spirit Doctors and I have a Crystal Light Bed brought home from the Casa and the moment I switch it on I feel it act as a portal to bring the Spirit Doctors instantly from Brazil/Spirit to my healing location. ELISABETH JENSEN is an Authorised Guide and Medium of the Casa of John of God and leads Healing Pilgrimages there – next in October 2016. Elisabeth is the Principal of Auset Temple Healing and teaches Auset Egyptian Healing. For more information, please call 1300558075 or visit www. elisabethjensen.com.au
If I asked you if you would like to release your negative habits you would nod your head furiously. If I looked at your aura while you responded, I would see the equivalent of an actor in a pantomime, mouthing, “Nooooooo!” simultaneously. But you absolutely want to quit this habit, right? Every part of you wants it gone! Wrong! You are in fact having an arm wrestle with your subconscious mind which has 20+ years of practice ahead of you. It developed these protective mechanisms long before you could even speak and it’s not giving up without a fight. Jacqueline had been talking all year about the weight she was going to lose when she started on her fantastic diet. Her family knew the spiel so well they could finish her sentences word for word. The diet never happened and heavy, starchy foods replaced her positive intentions. When I saw her aura in our first session, I noticed Jacqueline had an unusual pattern. Her consciousness was fragmented and projected outward, about 4 feet in front of her body. This was where Jacqueline was storing her future. I shared this, “Your future never happens”. She replied, “Oh I know! I just wish I could get to my future!” Jacqueline’s eyes lit up as she described her “future”, as if it was a destination or a utopia. What I meant was, the future does not exist – all we ever have is the present moment. For Jacqueline, it seemed the concept of the future was where all her joy was stored. I explained that there was no way Jacqueline would be able to create a better future until she was in the here and now. In her present i.e. the space immediately around her physical body, was a white, blurry fog. Fog can do great things to disguise discomfort. Our negative behaviours can remain, undetected forever, if they have a nice, fluffy fog within which they can hide. This fog was hiding Jacqueline’s diet sabotaging behaviours. Jacqueline’s subconscious had created this fog in order to protect herself from her own judgment and lack of self worth, resulting from the negative behaviours. We brought Jacqueline back into her body, returned her missing energy and focus to the present and the next day, raw fresh vegetables and healthy smoothies were
her new daily habit. Jacqueline’s energy, health and motivation was of someone who was back and in command of their life. Her future, incidentally, was very lovely, but she was too busy enjoying the present to notice. Many auric patterns can identify the causes of negative habits. Some (though not all) I have observed include: - Cords and ties from the navel or heart to either the habit/addiction or the person by which the habit is represented; - Numbing patterns, which appear as a jelly or plasma like texture to avoid emotions and feelings (especially common in sugar and alcohol addictions); - Brown, muddy sludge in the aura, especially the liver and gallbladder that will make you feel as fresh as the bottom of a 7/11 coffee machine. (This is indicated where there is excessive sugar and caffeine. The sluggishness leads to a greater desire for stimulants, which leads to greater stagnation, and suppressed anger). Whether it is a habit of smoking, drinking too much, unhealthy food habits or even losing your temper, you will need a combined effort of consciously improving your level of mindfulness, deciding with conviction to make a change and working with your healer or therapist to clear the old, subconscious patterns that got you there in the first place.

Eye on the Sky WITH GERRY CROW
Astrologer, Clairvoyant Medium, Healer and Teacher
ASTROLOGY
July-September 2016 The New Moon in Cancer, pulled within the power, shadow and intensity of Pluto through their opposition, opens this quarter in the first week of July. There is a further influence of a T square involving Saturn, Neptune and Jupiter that is deliberately exposing the collective fears and intolerances as well as feelings of inadequacy and paranoia within global and local communities, plus within you and me. The T square of Saturn, Neptune and Jupiter is calling for new fundamental societal structures of belief to be built, expanding with deeply spiritual and inclusive concepts steeped in authenticity. Where do we need to change these beliefs and how will we action these changes into our future? The New Moon in Cancer is saying ‘Let it begin with me’. The key at this time is to allow the New Moon’s spark of light to alert awareness to your needs, nurturing and mothering, security in the world, the home and family relationships, particularly your relationships with the women in your life. By way of these reflections, you are required to take up the challenge and ask: • What your past beliefs are founded upon? • How these beliefs serve you, the family and communities you reside within? • Do they bring acceptance of others? Enable growth and transformation for all? • Is there equality offered to each member in your community, on every level? • Are you still responding to the old and outworn conditioning of yesteryear? In order to face the conflict and shadows within society we can utilize the positive expression of these transits to resolve them. Our first step is to learn and teach acceptance of ‘difference of other’ and to connect this concept to heart by being respectful of another’s choice. Not only within your community where you are comfortable but also reaching out to different communities and expanding real recognition and acknowledgment. We can discover commonality and expand our understanding by building bridges through listening and consulting with each other. Then we can begin to action change, build faith and restore balance, together. This growth and
transformation process will take time, however it is an essential and profound one if we are to obtain a more peaceful, harmonious and inclusive future for all. As the moon waxes along her path to fullness, we can consciously discard our distorted beliefs and our out dated value systems, like the snake sheds her outer skin onto the earth to transform, we can surrender these old beliefs and values to the light of full moon in Capricorn as a mark of reform and the promise we make to heal ourselves and the societies we live in. Throughout this quarter the transit of Neptune square Saturn will continue to be a fervent influence in the heavens as well to the social changes we are all needing to face. Adding to this positively is the entrance of Jupiter to Libra, offering to consolidate justice, peace and harmony within every level of relationship. After twelve years Jupiter returns to Libra on September 9th 2016 and journeys through this Cardinal Air sign until October 10th, 2017. Under this influence, those born in the sun-signs; Gemini, Libra and Aquarius, will have a fortunate thirteen months especially if previously you have put in the footwork for human growth and spiritual development. Jupiter is known as the planet of Justice and fairness to all, therefore it comfortably sits in this air sign (Libra) ruled by Venus, the planet of love, relationships, balance and communication. Additionally, Jupiter rules freedom and higher learning and the air sign Libra is associated with initiating powerful ideas that create long lasting effects as well as having a social conscience. Consequently through their collaboration over the next year, we can expect people to be writing and speaking out to ‘stale governments’, demanding change on many social platforms. This spiritual/ political action will allow breakthroughs to advance viewpoints, beyond the limiting beliefs and pessimism we are experiencing through public dialogue currently. With Jupiter being in Libra it will draw attention to ‘The great romance’, with magnificent demonstrations of love and public displays of affection. Weddings may well be on the rise, though not always traditional but definitely a flamboyant trend will emerge. Some might choose to make
their vows in church, others could go into nature or many couples could travel abroad to their favourite and meaningful sites to celebrate and tie the knot. As well the definition of relationship will widen and hopefully, ‘for fairness for all’ in Australia, Gay Marriage will finally be recognised under the law. Chiron amplifies the need to heal past wounds at the Full Moon Lunar Eclipse in Pisces on the 17th September. Give yourself permission to let go of illusive dreams, past hurts from old relationships and past family patterns. Allow your creative self to step forward, plunge into painting or write something inspirational. You may prefer to meditate and be reminded of your true inner teacher/guide or your ritual might be to enjoy the spring sun by the roar of the ocean. Let it be...

MANIFESTING YOUR DREAMS BY SUSANNE MARIE Do you know what you want in your life? What are the most important things that you want to achieve? Do you think clearly about a dream and when you actually achieve it, feel like it is the end of the line? What is the most successful manifestation that you have so far achieved in your life? A lot of questions but do you know how to get answers? There have been many publications, books, CDs, DVDs, magazines and online forums giving ideas about manifesting your dreams. I always use the techniques learned in Thetahealing® to achieve my manifestations and to teach to my students. However, there are many of the above mentioned publications you can also choose to help you. We can also use signs from the universe along the way to reassure us that we are on the right track. We can meditate as we search for answers. Do all our dreams have to be large or are small ones just as important? What about our idealistic goals for our future life? I trust that you will ponder some of these questions when on your own path of discovery and achievement. As some of you who have read my writings over a number of years
may realise, I, like many others have been on quite a journey. Change has been a large feature of my recent history and indeed longer term. When my path needs to change I often find that I get clear messages that I need to go in a different direction. For example in one of my activities, I omitted to complete recent paperwork by deadlines, which then automatically precluded me from participating in that line of work further. On reflection, I realised that for quite some time I had been reluctant to continue to pursue that interest as it was scattering my energy and my focus away from those pursuits that were much more important. I did not make a decision so it was forced on me. In that case I made a decision by not making a decision. Not always the best way. A much better way to make a decision and a choice is to consider all the options and then proactively decide on a chosen path. Once chosen it is then up to you to make it happen in the way you want it to. Decide on the event and the outcome. Decide on what you want to have included in that choice. For example, a number of years
ago I made a big decision to go to the USA to study Thetahealing® for some months. Once I actually decided to go, after tossing ideas back and forward for a while, things quickly fell in to place and I felt reassured that I had made the right decision. Amongst many indicators I received, I went on line just as a ridiculously cheap airfare to my destination was revealed. I booked my flight. I applied for a scholarship for the first subject I was to do and heard that it had been granted. When I arrived at the airport to depart, I was told I had been upgraded in my seating. Wow! What fun it was and another confirmation I was on the right track. Earlier in the process I had taken pen and paper and clarified exactly what I wanted and how I wanted to achieve it. I dreamed about it, I wrote about it, I talked about it and felt the energy of it. I thought about how it might change my life. I achieved it all and much, much more. Often when I am making a decision I will go for a walk to help clarify my thoughts. Sometimes as I walk I may question a decision. That is when I will sometimes ask the question of the Universe. The answers come in many ways, but one I loved was when making a major life decision. I was a little scared about whether I was seeing the situation correctly, but felt for my health and wellbeing it was a necessary choice. As I was walking along a path I had been on many times before, I suggested that if it was the right decision that maybe I could be shown a sign. Not far along the track, there was a white fluffy tiny feather which I often see as a confirmation but as if that was not enough, a few metres further there was a second one, then a third and a fourth fluffy white feather. I laughed and felt reassured! As it turned out it was an excellent decision as I acted on it soon after! Never think about what you do NOT want but always stay with clarifying what you want and then MANIFEST!

WHAT IS “SPIRITUALITY” REALLY ? BY FRAN TOMLIN I have so many books in my house on a myriad of subjects , not to mention all forms of Spirituality & Higher consciousness – more than half of them I’ve never read. There’s a book for this, and a book for that – and like all books they have each arisen from one individual author’s observance. All the many & varied perspectives. All helpful in their own way. Or are they? Do they perhaps serve in some respects as a form of procrastination by allowing us to live or experience vicariously through their words & experiences, instead of us living through those experiences ourselves? Spirituality is naturally subjective, we know this. And the definition itself is so different to so many. For example, how many still think religion & spirituality go hand in hand ? How many believe that to be truly spiritual one must almost embody a saint on Earth ? That those who are spiritual must not charge for their services, should be virtually living in poverty & practice servitude to others at the expense of themselves? Or what about the view that those who go to church every Sunday praying for the rest of us ‘sinners’ out here, & in all probability practice their own omissions throughout the rest of the week, must surely be spiritual – they go to church every Sunday don’t they? Or to the other extreme ( if you can call these extremes) what about the view or belief that those
who are seen to speak the ‘lingo’, run ‘spiritual’ blogs, quote spiritual quotes, read Angel cards or the like, visit tarot or psychic practitioners, practice alternative therapies or attend ‘spiritual’ events/ fairs / courses etc must indeed be spiritual..? Even those running spiritual centres worldwide, doing spiritual work – surely they must be truly spiritual ? I hate to be the one to tell you , but not necessarily. Some are of course, some aren’t. Overall, Its a load of hogwash really. To my mind, there are no definitions of spirituality, since one can liken it to the same stance that each individual is unique. So if we are to generalise, spirituality in my view is if anything, really all about practicing what you preach. Its that simple & in all honesty, that difficult. My feeling, as far as true spirituality goes, is the practice of quietly & surely everyday allowing one’s Higher nature, or rather that true divinity that is held intrinsically within each & everyone of us, to lead the way all the time. In other words, being aware of & rising up to the Highest vibration in any & each given moment in any situation or scenario that arises that may threaten to topple one’s equilibrium in any shape or form. This means, quite literally, “walking your talk” in the Divine sense. Are you? Am I? These are the
questions to ask. Or are you mindlessly preferring to think or believe you do? Sometimes life just gets too busy to pay mind to intricate details such as those...yes? Uh-oh - we need to remember that those precise intricate ‘details’ determine the length & breadth of our unique incarnational experiences, creating our direct experiences – our ‘reality’- and we are the one’s who get to live it. SO, what do you practice ? What does spirituality mean to you ?!!

Glucomannan Fibre - a Weight loss Supplement that Works lose up to 8-10 pounds(3.6-4.5 kg) of weight in 5 weeks* Glucomannan is a natural, water-soluble dietary fibre extracted from the roots of the elephant yam, also known as konjac. It has recently gained considerable attention as an effective weight loss supplement. Glucomannan absorbs water and becomes gel-like. It “sits” in your gut and promotes a feeling of fullness, helping you eat fewer calories. It absorbs so much liquid that if you place 1/4 teaspoon into a bowl of water, the entire content turns into a gel. These unique properties are believed to mediate its effects on weight loss. Glucomannan is believed to promote weight loss via several mechanisms: 1. It takes up space in the stomach and promotes a feeling of fullness (satiety), thereby reducing food intake at a

3. It feeds the friendly bacteria in the intestine, which turn it into short-chain fatty acids like butyrate, shown to protect against fat gain in some animal studies.

TO EVOKE THE ODYSSEY
The world today desperately needs clear voices of inspiration, peace, clarity and hope to remind us all of our own divine purpose here. Virginia’s words offer exactly this. In the time honoured tradition of the classic mystic/poets such as Kahlil Gibran, William Blake and Rumi, Virginia Lee offers up her work in joyful service to that profound one that sits within us all.
LEO DRIOLI — Editor of InnerSelf newspaper and author of Every Moment’s a Miracle
This work of poetry beginning with the first poem “The Forge” conveys the search of a human being to come to a knowledge of the self, the True Self.
Turning to mysticism, it takes a new focus for the profound truths of being. Insight grows as the search gathers impetus, and a thread of meaning is refined as the work continues through the aisles of the “Dark Night of the Soul”. A continued need to hold-fast to the enlightenment, given by love to life, throughout further empty, lonely times bears its fruit to sustain the spirit.
At last reaching a haven of peace beyond all earthly love (which only reflects the Divine) the Soul Personality finds its own Self Reliance. This continuum of the Odyssey captures “that” which leads to the beginning of “The Love That Passes All Understanding” and carries all back to the beginning and its ending in the final poem “And So Be It”.
Virginia Lee entered into embodiment this lifetime with full memory of what we call Heaven, that placeless place that in truth surrounds us always, yet isn’t usually evident until we move beyond embodiment into the inner worlds between incarnation. This realm of peace and harmony inspires and informs all of Virginia’s work to this day, bringing the listener or reader of her poetry in direct contact with this same placeless place of peace and harmony within themselves.

His words follow a direct route from the mind to the heart, and can touch anyone, no matter where they are on their spiritual path. ” – DENISE LINN, author of “Soul Coaching”

If a book had a soul, then this book would be brimming with Spirit. Leo has a unique way of conveying deep truths using simple, yet beautiful language. His words follow a direct route from the mind to the heart, and can touch anyone, no matter where they are on their spiritual path. — Spiritual teacher and author of Past Lives, Present Miracles
Even the most exalted spiritual accomplishments are unimportant if we cannot be happy in the most basic and ordinary way because the greatest lesson is that the Universal must be wedded to the Personal for us to be fulfilled in our spiritual life. With freshness and a unique blend of spiritual insight, poetry and simple life wisdom, Leo Drioli draws our attention to everyday occurences in his daily life, which gives us insights and simple techniques for attuning ourselves to the natural and dynamic inner movement of our own lives, which is the key to finding joy both within and without.
An A to Z compilation of spiritual themes, the genius of this warm, inspiring book lies in its discovery of the miraculous in the mundane, and how, in our everyday life, there are many opportunities for awakening. The challenge is to recognise them. Reading this book will help you to witness every moment in your life — even those that seem filled with pain or conflict — in another way, a way that offers a sense of unity and joy, rather than separation and fear, plus a way to live a deeper, truer, more satisfying life in this world. LEO DRIOLI has been a pioneer in the consciousness movement for over 35 years. Launching one of Australia’s first spiritual magazines, Golden Age in 1988, he is currently editor of Innerself Newspaper and also a director of the MahaShanti Foundation for Awakening.

ARTHRITIS, BACK PAIN, JOINT PAIN NEW TREATMENTS TO REGENERATE CARTILAGE ELIMINATE PAIN
Prolozone®
Alternative to Joint Replacement & Drug therapy • Chronic back pain • Chronic neck pain • Degenerated discs • Arthritic ankles • Arthritic hips • Arthritic knees • Heel spurs • Neuromas • Painful scars
• Pelvic disorders • Plantar fasciitis • Post-op pain • Rotator cuff injuries • Sciatica • Sinus infections • Sports injuries • Tennis elbow • TMJ
What causes pain: Localized decreased oxygen utilization produces a localized increase in lactic acid production which is what is responsible for pain. A vicious cycle ensues in which the localized decrease in oxygen utilization leads to increased free radical damage, which leads to increased tissue damage, inflammation, edema, which leads to a further decrease in oxygen utilization, all of which equals chronic pain. It also prevents the body’s stem and blast cells from effectively repairing the damage.
What is Prolozone: Prolozone is a technique that combines the principles of Neural therapy, Prolotherapy and Ozone therapy. It involves injecting combinations of procaine, homeopathic anti-inflammatory medications, vitamins, proliferatives and ozone/oxygen gas into degenerated or injured joints and into areas of pain.The evidence shows that it can be used to regenerate joints and other damaged tissues, and to alleviate pain.
Regeneration of Joint Tissues: Many doctors internationally have used this technique to treat chronic pain conditions and the value of Prolozone is that in the majority of cases it actually corrects the pathology of the disorder and regeneration of tissues such as cartilage or discs have been observed. About 75% of chronic pain sufferers who undergo this therapy become permanently pain free. These treatments are now available at Transformational Medicine Australia in Melbourne. Dr Margaret Ngu is a specialist Integrative Medical doctor of 31 years combining the best of medical with nutritional, botanical, oxidative, acupuncture and bio-energetic therapies. She and her team treats Anxiety, Stress, Depression, Arthritis, Heart Disease, Chronic Infections and Cancer to name a few.
