This Moment is you. In this moment, you are, you exist. But it’s more than just the “you” you believe yourself to be, so much more. The “you” you believe yourself to be is one small wave of Presence in the great Ocean of Infinite and Eternal Beingness. And this vast Expanse knows no bounds. This vast Expanse contains all things, allows all things, is all things. This you are. And in this moment all and everything is accessible and available to you. See It Drop back in and let your hear t see This …. It doesn’t take much, no effort at all really. Simply a gentle and very natural fall back in to This … In to what? This? Yes This. This is what all of life emanates from and what all of life is. Emptiness is form … form is emptiness. See This … The Hear t naturally and effor tlessly “sees” … all it takes is that last step …. That final “one last drop” … where the wave is seen as part of the Ocean and the Ocean lovingly allows for the wave to simply be as it is. To simply be. See It … Know It Yes know It, but not in the way we normally know things, with our thoughts and imaginings about what we see. No, know It directly by becoming intimate with It. How? By simply acknowledging Its constancy. This is always here. This is always available. This is It. Allow for the unspoken silent and ever-present gift of in-sight to reveal Its mystery to you … to reveal Its magnificence and Its self-evident “not knowing knowingness”. This can’t be known with the mind yet it’s always already known by the Heart. Simply listen … look … and allow.

And with profound presence, this ageless vast and pure beingness reveals Itself to you. This can be known … intimately known as the All and Everything … this that you are. Know It. Be It What else can you be when all things are in truth This anyway? All things come from This and all things go back to This. Be This that you are. Not become … there’s no real becoming, all that becomes, in truth already is. Be It. In allowing yourself to drop back into a sweet relaxed “nothing to do” surrender to This … it becomes evident and obvious that this you always are …. Always have been, always will be. This you are … Now, create no gap around what is and what you see, know and be/are. Allow the Being to simply be … no effort to be, no waiting to be, no changing to be … simply Be. See, know and Be This and … You are free.

Light Therapy Lucia N°03 is a neurostimulator, which combines a stroboscope (flickering light), flexible in both, speed and intensity, with a constant light, available in different degrees of brightness. The computer-controlled interaction of these light sources activates different ways of experiencing (seeing intense worlds of colour and shape, a sense of leaving the body etc. ) allowing for an impressive individual light experience that is different every time. Lucia N°03 creates wave patterns in the EEG that would usually only appear after several years of meditation practice. Since this involves a real neurostimulation and not an optical post-image phenomenon, each session is unique. Lucia N°03 allows for a transcendental experience as it is usually seen only under extreme conditions (during high performance sport, through using entheogenic substances or in neardeath experiences) and consequently triggers the same positive effects. The experience value is one of a kind and the effects are noticeably intense, even after the very first use.

the "here and now" and in so doing we can become more aware of what we are thinking, and re-think negative thoughts to embrace new and positive ideas, and exercise greater control over emotional responses. You are the accumulation of all that you have thought and been told about yourself - the positive ideas and the not-so-positive. Every day we have between 50 and 60,000 thoughts! Some estimates indicate that in excess of 80% of our thoughts are negative and potentially destructive; dwelling in the past or the future; obsession about mistakes we might have made, battling guilt, planning ahead or worrying. As the Re-Think Watch gently vibrates at your pre-set intervals (10 minutes ... 15 minutes or your chosen time) you are reminded to STOP, take note of exactly what you are thinking and replace it with a positive idea or behaviour. DELIBERATELY frame all of your thoughts, focussing on what it is you want. Positively focusing on what you DO WANT will expand and draw it to you like a magnet! The Re-Think Watch serves as a reminder for you to observe your thoughts, re-think the negative messages and consciously replace them with positive messages, actions and affirmations to support you in living a full, happy and healthy life. A tool for positive life change. A gentle reminder device to help re-train our brain from negative to positive thought.

www.innerself.com.au concept, emotion, or experience, you are here. You must be to perceive it. As soon as your attention goes onto others who have it or don’t have it, you overlook that which is fully present and shining here and now in you. It’s easy to slip into endless speculation about who is awakened, and then fail to notice what is being pointed to, which is the very fact of the presence/awareness that is available right now illuminating your every thought and containing everything. So now you can stop all your wonderings and worrying and anxiety. You can be silent and have a taste of what is already present within you, as you. There is nothing outside of you that must be brought in. Your very nature is what I call enlightenment. It doesn’t exist somewhere, waiting to be found. It is you, your very core.

Forgotten Wings

BY ENZA VITA

“This isn’t something that you can gain or lose. It is permanent, and it exists right now in this present moment as you, just as you are.” Q: How will you actually know when you are enlightened, and how can you determine if someone else is? Enza: What it comes down to is the lack of identification with an I. You can tell the depth of the awakening by how much of the “seeker” has been wiped out. But instead of worrying about who

is awakened, why not turn your attention to what is awake inside you right now. Put those concepts aside for a moment and ask yourself where am I right now? Can you find someone or something outside of your present awareness? Who or what knows all these concepts? Awareness must be there first for those to be experienced. Before the next thought,

Q: I have read a lot of stories about enlightenment, and I’m tired of looking for my own story to be as dramatic as the ones I have read about. Still, I would like to experience what it is to be without doubts. Enza: What you describe is the illusion that happens when a seeker looks to attain oneness with something he perceives as being outside of himself. You cannot be awakened or enlightened in your future. The future does not exist. If you spend time wondering when you will reach doubtless enlightenment, you will just be giving more energy to the thought that obscures the light that is always present. You carry

our goal is to awaken one community at a time . . . this awareness inside you and you always have! This is not something that exists outside you. You are enlightenment. Enlightenment is who you are. So you don’t have to go looking for it anywhere else! No matter what happens, the tr uth of who you are cannot be stripped away. Spiritual paths, satsangs, meditations, if legitimate, can only point to what is present right now. Look for yourself and see. Looking for yourself and seeing for yourself is all that it takes. This is something you can do in this instant. This is all you need to understand. No matter what path you follow, if it is a legitimate path, it will lead you right back to seeing for yourself. Nothing else but your own direct seeing will do. Any teacher who is really aware and in tune will keep pointing you in the direction of your own self. What you are seeking is not anywhere else but here, now, as the presence/awareness that you naturally are. You are the whole wide blue sky and the sun rises and sets within you. All that exists in manifestation is contained within you. It is a part of you. It is what you are made of, and it is made of you. This isn’t something that you can gain or lose. It is permanent, and it exists right now in this present moment as you, just as you are. Stop following thoughts for a few seconds and observe what remains, what is still here. This is a good time to stop reading for a moment, and just for five seconds stop following your thoughts and see what remains. You will notice that something is still present, a field, a background,

when the attention on the thoughts is gone. This background doesn’t exist in space and time and can’t be comprehended through thinking. However, it can be sensed or felt if you divert attention from your thoughts long enough to become aware of it. Awareness, the sense of being, the sense of being aware, can be felt whenever you take the time to stop, right now. Just be present, still, and aware to notice it. You don’t need to think about it. You don’t need to bring up memories of how you experienced it in the past, nor do you need to seek outside yourself for explanations for its existence. Just notice what this presence is by directly looking at it. This formless seemingly empty space, without boundaries or substance, is awareness. Empty simply means “without form,” yet it has unfathomable intelligence and lucidity. By questioning those assumptions, you begin to get back in touch with the presence/awareness that you are and which contains everything, including your thoughts and beliefs. Without awareness, nothing is possible. Just the simple shift in focus back to what is present in this moment is all that it takes. Your essential nature, this present awareness, exists independently of any thought of its existence. “Looking forward” to what you think awareness might be at some grand point in the future keeps you from seeing the truth of its presence right now. You are aware at this moment, aren’t you? You are already here, so keep your focus here. Your

essential nature does not and will not change. No cosmic experience is needed because you are already that, now. Enza Vita is past editor of Woman Spirit and Health a n d We l l b e i n g magazines and coeditor of Innerself newspaper for the last 11 years. Through her job, she was blessed with the opportunity to meet and study under many of the great spiritual teachers of our age and she was exposed to the wonderful writings of many others around the world. After a profound spiritual realization in 2007, all her life’s work came into a clear, sharp focus, as she began to write and answer questions for those who came to her … which eventually became her soon to be released book Always Already Free – What is Enlightenment and What Does It Matter Anyway? Based on Enza’s own experience, Always Already Free, guides the reader from the seeking process through the integration of enlightenment into everyday life and reveals that spiritual enlightenment is not a faraway dream, but the everpresent reality always available here and now.

always already free

what is enlightenment and what does it matter anyway? Whatever experience is occurring right now, cosmic or ordinary, supersedes every other one because it is the one happening in this present moment. Every moment is in fact a perfect mirror of the divine impulse to manifest into the world. Life’s mystery and its mundaneness are equally divine.

As a satsang book, Enza, I am blown away with your clarity. I truly think you are one of the clearest authors I’ve ever read on this subject. I have edited for quite a few teachers, including Gangaji, Eli Jaxon Bear, Issac Shapiro, John Sherman, Om Parkin, and Amber Terrell, not to mention the many others I’ve been exposed to, so I know what I’m talking about when I tell you that your expression is exceptional. And I love it that you actually figured out how to offer a “practice-less practice.” —Shanti Einolander, editor of the magazine “ONE”, “The Diamond in Your Pocket” and “You Are That!” by Gangaji Enza’s book is a true book in that it continually brings the attention to what is the immediacy, the actuality right now. The uncontrived spontaneous naturalness. Being constantly reminded in various ways in every chapter that there is only life essence (awareness) the believed in entity is seen to have no self-nature and not stand on its own. In this recognition the book has done its work and that is That. —“ Sailor Bob” Adamson, author of “What is Wrong with Right Now Unless You Think About It?”

in the FLOW WITH DR GRAHAM WILLIAMS

To Care

Caring is what gives life its meaning. In its original sense to care means to mind, and so be mindful – being concerned about someone or something so that we invest our interest and attention in them.

Caring instead of curing

Caring for yourself is how you can practise the ability to care. And the best place to start is by caring instead of trying to cure. What I mean by this is that we are endlessly trying to fix ourselves, get things right, change and perfect ourselves, get rid of what we don’t like about ourselves – to cure everything which isn’t right. And by doing this we have completely missed the point. We don’t give ourselves the chance to see or get to know who we actually are. It’s actually impossible to change anything until you have seen it clearly, and to do that you need to accept that it is there. When we accept something we bring our attention to it, genuinely opening to it with interest, and so become mindful of it. It’s amazing how much energy goes into trying to get rid of bits and pieces of ourselves, covering up and putting on an act. This really affects your body because it wastes energy. There is so much we can’t do anything about – we get sick, we have accidents. What we can do everything about is how we react to all the things which can happen to us in our lives. Funnily enough, if we accept them when they happen we’re in the strongest position to do something about them. Firstly we can care for ourselves by keeping ourselves in as good a state as possible, physically, emotionally and mentally. I’ve discovered over the years that I can feel a cold right at its beginning. It starts as a tickle in my nostril. And that if I accept that this is happening and allow myself to have a cold – give way to it – it’s all over in a couple of days. But if I fight it and soldier on it lasts for at least two weeks. Once something has started you can’t stop it. This is perhaps the biggest secret of the universe! But what you can do is accept it and ride with it. It goes through the same cycle – it has to – but because you’re not putting energy into resisting it, it can run

through its cycle in a fraction of the time it would normally take.

Beautifying the flaws

One of the wonderful things about classical Japanese pottery is that its philosophical trademark is to accept the flaws which occur when it is made. The reason for this is that they are seen as an integral part of the moment of creation. And then, instead of trying to get rid of the flaws, the ar tist becomes totally mindful of them, accepting of them, including them as part of the completed work. This is how what were originally seen as flaws become beautiful. By not seeing them as something that needs to be got rid of, by seeing them as an integral part of the process of creation, by including them, they can take their place and give the work of art its uniqueness. So often, the very things we see as problems, as something we need to fix and get rid of, are the things which are most valuable to us. For they make us unique. I learned this lesson in my first year-long retreat when the messy and painful relationships I had in my late teens and early twenties came into focus. I had “put them behind me, was well over them” – you know all the phrases we use. But up they came, and as I accepted the mess and the pain of them I star ted to find the rich gold-mine of experience there. I had learned so much about the human mind, its shadow of despair and its hidden areas, that these experiences gave me the foundation of knowledge which fed everything I now teach.

Accepting your body

The ability to care begins when you understand that your body is precious. As with every living thing, your body is the most precious thing you have. Without our bodies we would have no life. And yet the church has encouraged us to see it as sinful, as a prison, and marketing sees it as an object for selling, or we see it as something which needs to be controlled. Anything but what it is – a receptor to the world which registers everything that touches its senses. It’s an incredible organism. I understand that things can go

very wrong, as with anything in life. However I have seen so many people who, once they have accepted what has happened, have discovered just how precious their life and their body is and have been able to use meditation to work around their limitations. They have discovered whole areas of life they didn’t notice before because they were too busy or too caught in their own conflict. You need to give time for your senses to register fully everything they experience. It takes time for example, for the chemicals in the retina to respond to a stimulus fully, and this is one of the reasons why we don’t fully appreciate our bodies. By being too busy, being in a rush, we simply don’t register the rich, full world of our senses. And this can leave you feeling dissatisfied. You feel as though you’re missing out, because you are. You’re missing out on fully experiencing and appreciating your own body and the world to which it is responding all the time. When you care and give time to your body, listening to it and opening up to your sense experience, your life becomes rich and meaningful. If I were to put it as simply as possible – in my experience, the meaning of life is to live. And to live is to love. And it all starts with caring enough about our bodies to listen to what they are telling us – to be receptive to our senses and to the life around us. It’s when we care for our own lives, and value them, that we then care for others and value them and their lives too. Because we can be open to them. We can listen to them – we’re not afraid of what they might think about us. It doesn’t matter. What does matter is that we’re with them when they are a part of our lives, listening, seeing, touching and sharing the experience of being alive in this human body. Dr. Graham Williams has 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.

Mind & Heart WITH SWAMI DAYANANDA

Sound Awareness

In what way do sounds affect us? We’ve all been annoyed by a jackhammer or a high-pitched alarm. Sound that is too loud is even illegal. Each of us is more or less affected by repeated sounds. Some find the radio comforting and others find it irritating. Some are highly affected by traffic and others barely hear it. In the same way, each person responds to soothing sounds differently. Sounds in nature help some people relax—the chatter of birds, the swoosh of waves. A favourite tune can bring a smile, as can a preferred instrument. For some, an electric guitar generates energy and for others, energy is replenished by a string quartet. Likewise, some people enjoy lots of talking and others prefer to retreat. And what about inner sounds? Not just humming a pop song or TV jingle. The internal chatter of the mind— commentary, judgments, memories, real and imagined dialogues. Worried thinking, for example, creates tension. Joyful anticipation creates good feeling. The mind has a tendency to endlessly create noise—through voiced or unvoiced speech.

Using sound for meditation

Regardless of preferences, every sound produces vibration. In Sanskrit, external sound is called “ahat” or struck sound because it is struck from a voice, a musical instrument or other object. Internal sound is called “anahat” or unstruck, arising from the consciousness of the mind. The mind is capricious, readily distracted from one stimulus to another. This is the major challenge to meditation, or sitting with the mind until it becomes still. A mind jumping from thought to thought is unruly. At the same time, the mind has a remarkable capacity to become absorbed in sound. Using sound for meditation is a brilliant method of turning the attention of the mind from its usual chatter to a sense of well being.

Focusing on outer sound

Wherever you are, in this moment, take the time to listen. Close eyes and concentrate on eveyour ry sound—the hum of machines,

Anyone and everyone can meditate. ears

voices, music, objects being moved, your clothing. As you concentrate on sound, pick one sound and stay with it for as long as you can. When the mind releases it, focus back on that sound or pick another. Sound occurs now, in this very moment. Even a remembered sound occurs now. Notice the level of your awareness.

Focusing on inner sound

In this short practice, did you notice any commentary of the mind? Did it make a judgment about whether or not you enjoy that sound or that practice? Notice if you become more irritated or more relaxed. Or did the commentary of the mind take you away entirely, maybe even off this page. Just notice.

Harmony in sound

To meditate using sound, select a few tracks of music that particularly resonate. At first, simply sit quietly and focus all your attention on the music for 10 to 20 minutes once or twice a day. Continue this practice with regularity, always with your fullest concentration. I suggest you use the same music because you are training the mind to release its concerns. As soon as you hear the beginning notes of the music, your mind understands you are sitting quietly and releasing. Open yourself to the silence between notes. Allow yourself to just be.

Using a mantra

And when your mind continues to chatter? Focus on a mantra. Gently guide the mind from its endless manufacture of thoughts to one word or phrase. You can use a breath mantra like “hum-sah” (hum on the inbreath, sah on the outbreath) or simply say “I let go. I let go. I let go.”

Taking a Sound Bath

If you’re ready to immerse yourself in sound, attend a sound bath. In a sound bath, you lay down in a comfortable position in a safe environment. One person or several people use such instruments as Himalayan singing bowls, gongs, tuning forks, bells, rattles and other items to create vibrations to produce the experience of harmony. You feel bathed in

sonorous vibrations. As though you are floating in air, the sounds seem to originate from all around you. Just as you follow the progressive ring of a singing bowl, perhaps a gentle then more persistent gong opens your inner ear and allows you to drop thought and experience the sense of just being. Everyone experiences something different. Feelings arise, your imagination is stirred, you may tap into an old fear or new possibilities. In general, however, par ticipants say they are able to release into a sense of relaxation and well being—power of harmonic sound.

RadiantMIND WITH PETER FENNER, PHD

Will this Practice Fix my Life and Make Me Happier?

A question that is very often posed to me is, “How will doing your practice change me?” “Will I be more effective?” “Will I suffer less?” People would love to hear that their lives will be richer, more harmonious, and that they will be better able to deal with challenging situations. It’s tempting for people to project that such changes will happen. People in Radiant Mind and similar programs often offer personal accounts about how they feel more peace and openness through engaging in the nondual perspective. They report how their relationships and communications improve, and their fears and anxiety decrease. This is really beautiful. However, the truth is that from a nondual perspective, we can’t promise anything. There are two reasons for this. First, the focus of our work is on nondual awareness. If we give attention to what’s happening at the conditioned level—feeling better, etc.—this throws us into time and causality. And this attention doesn’t create an entry point into nondual awareness. In fact, it distracts us from the unbounded panorama of pure awareness. Second, we can’t know how the infusion of nondual awareness within a mindstream will influence someone’s evolutionary path. Even here, in saying that nondual awareness influences how we think, feel and perceive, I am telling a story. I am moving away from the language of the unconditioned where there’s nothing to say, nothing to describe, where the nondual can’t influence anything because it isn’t a force or power or energy. It is nothing. Wonderful things do happen when we engage with the nondual awareness. People experience super-deep, super-smooth and to-

tally effor tless sessions of natural meditation. They are able to feel totally complete, even blissful, in the midst of illness, irresolution or environmental threats. My approach is to acknowledge these as wonderful “side effects,” but not dwell on them. They don’t become a focus of the process. In fact, these types of effects arise more consistently and comprehensively when we don’t give them any attention. People often attribute these changes to what we are doing together. It can be tempting to agree and to interpret positive change to the space we are sharing. I listen to these reports with pure listening. I don’t reject them or accept them. I’ll say that’s great, but I don’t make a link between Radiant Mind and the positive changes that are happening. It is a trap to attribute such changes to spending more time in nondual awareness. We then begin to assess the effectiveness of abiding in the nondual in terms of changes that are happening at the conditioned level. But the unconditioned isn’t ongoingly revealed and presenced when we are anticipating and tracking changes at the conditioned level. When we anticipate and track changes, we are no longer engaged in resting in unconditioned awareness. Another reason I don’t make promises that people’s lives will improve is that I don’t know what will happen for someone, tomorrow, next week or next year. While I’m sure that nondual awareness only serves people positively, it’s impossible to know what’s up ahead, in a someone’s life. We can’t know what those challenges will be. Someone’s life may move from being peaceful and easy to becoming demanding and stressful overnight. This happens

all the time. Everyday thousands of people are facing the challenges of broken relationships, welcoming a newborn child into their family, and dealing with the news of a terminal illness. The stresses involved in some of these experiences can last for months or years. Engaging in nonduality doesn’t provide insurance against relationship problems, financial loss, illness or death. All we can confidently say is that the more time we spend in nondual awareness, the better we will be able to handle life’s challenges, no matter what they are. Once we’ve experienced unconditioned awareness, this healing experience percolates through the layers of our conditioning. There is a natural and effortless process, which is different for each complex being, and it happens in its own time. At times, this de-conditioning can happen quickly, and then we might regress and find ourselves confronting something that has been deeply held within our conditioning. At other times, de-conditioning happens slowly and steadily. The entire process may take more than a lifetime. It is unlikely that we will reside permanently in unconditioned awareness in this lifetime. We have no concern for this. We can simply let this wondrous process unfold in the inevitable way that it will. Peter is a leader in the adaption and transmission of Asian nondual wisdom worldwide.

what isENLIGHTENMENT? WITH LINDA CLAIR

The Perfect Teacher

Q: What do you feel about the advice that some people give on finding a teacher? When someone says, ‘How will I know when I’ve found the right teacher?’ they say, ‘See how you feel around them’. Is that not necessarily good advice? One of the main reasons I was attracted to my first teacher, was that he stirred me up. Sometimes my mind would go crazy when I was around him. It was like a churning in my brain, as though my brain had turned into a washing machine, churning and churning. It felt like a physical thing – and that attracted me. Linda: It says a lot for you that you were attracted when you were being stirred up. A lot of people have a honeymoon period around a teacher where they just feel great. The test comes when they start to feel emotionally uncomfortable, and everyone will eventually become stirred up in some way – or maybe every way - in their meditation and in their life. It affects everything in your life – your relationships with everyone and everything. You start to see that everything you thought was real is not real. That’s incredibly confronting. Finding the right teacher is like finding the right sitting position. It just feels right. But no sitting position is going to be comfor table all the time. Some people choose a teacher who they feel comfortable around, because they know it’s not going to be too confronting for them. It’s not going to challenge them. Other people go from teacher to teacher because they might start to get into their emotions a bit too deeply, and start to feel uncomfortable with one teacher, so they switch and go to someone else. Once it gets too hard

with one, they say there’s something wrong with them – put it on the teacher, leave, go to another teacher. Once you find the right teacher, if you trust them, it’s important to stick with them through thick and thin – just stick with them. You‘re not always going to feel comfor table around them, because being with them is going to confront the mind. There’s an intensity around someone who is fully realized – something beyond the mind, and your consciousness senses that, and is drawn to it, but the mind will inevitably react to it. At that point you either leave the teacher or you stay with them and go deeper. People get to a certain point, and they either keep going, or it’s just not the right time for them, and they leave. They’re not quite ready for it. But the mistake a lot of people make is to blame the teacher for their pain. A good teacher is going to bring out the pain in people – and the love as well. It’s going to intensify everything – stir everything up, go to the very core of your being. It’s a teacher’s role to stir you up. One of the main reasons I was attracted to my first teacher was that I could see it was possible for me. He was an ordinary man, and he kept assuring me it was possible.

Q: I think it’s really tricky for some people who have been your friends. Even though they may have been spiritual seekers for years, and they’ve been to all these different teachers, and read lots of books, and everyone says, ‘It’s here. It’s now’. But when someone they are close to wakes up, and it’s right in front of them, it’s hard for them, because their minds are addicted to the idea that enlightenment is somewhere else. Linda: Most people see enlighten-

ment as special. ‘How could she be enlightened? She’s just Linda. How could someone I know be enlightened? That’s just not possible.’ It’s very confronting. There’s a very strong view that teachers from somewhere else are better. You need to go to India or somewhere else to find a truly enlightened teacher. But that’s creating more of a separation. The mind is always going to say it’s better somewhere else. There’s going to be a better teacher somewhere else. So when a teacher appears in one’s own town, some people feel very confronted by that, because that means that someone amongst us, someone like me can become enlightened. It’s much more exotic and safe for them to go somewhere else, or see a visiting teacher, because the mind still feels safe, thinking, ‘I can’t be like that person’. A lot of people like the idea of enlightenment, but they don’t really want it when it comes down to it. Not many people really want it . . . when you get too close, you’re going to feel stirred up, and most people don’t want that.

Are you Feeling the Midwinter Chill?

dreamSTATE WITH DAMIAN AMAMOO

BY PETTA KNEELAH

Dream Recall & You In the previous edition of Innerself, we looked at the process of unblocking and transforming guilt, so we can be freer to experience the pleasant dreams and expanded consciousness we all deserve to feel. In this issue, we are going to look at remembering dreams. Firstly, we need to say that there is no perfect level of recall for your dreaming. Most of us experience a range that stretches at one end - from being totally un-remembered,to another where it’s possible tohave movielike recollection. To make things simpler we can call the un-remembered end of the spectrum the ‘blank slate’ and we’ll call the movie-like recall ‘high definition’ or HD. At last year’s Body Mind and Psychic Expo* I asked a man if he was ‘into dreaming’as he ventured past our stall. He paused, smiled and then said ‘No mate, I run a million miles from them’. When we think about which end of the recall spectrum we would like to experienceit’s impor tant not to bias one over the other. There can be some great reasons to achieve HD recalland equally good reasons, at other times, to experience a blank slate. What’s important is to access the full range so we have flexibility for our dreaming experience. For example,a person recovering from trauma, under stressful situations at work or just tired from the emotionally complex demands of daily life may crave a blank slate. Here the focus is on recovery. You will still be dreaming during your sleep but for one reason or another these dreams are not registered into your rational consciousness so you wake up with a blank slate. If theblank slate appeals to you but you are having trouble achieving it, then you may be interested to try the following meditation prior to sleep. First visualise a deep empty pond that is crystal clear, you can see all the way to the bottom. Now project any troubling dreams or visions that you may have been having to the bottom of that pond

and feel free to animate their characteristics as a bubbling type of heat. You may see some of the bubbles rising to the surface. So let’s cool it down fur ther by making the pond even clearer, deeper, wider and most importantly, colder. Your pond may now be a lake.Hopefully the bubbles have stopped and you can look through to the bottom and note that it is perfectly still. If not feel free to make the body of water larger again to absorb the heat. Next, we would like you to visualise a water spirit. It could be a mermaid or any other friendly form that appeals to you. Send him/her some love and ask them to perform a service for you and manage your nightmares or bad dreams at the bottom of the pond. Ask him/her to care for and cool them, organise and give them an audience. State that you will remain safe, floating just above the water surface and that if he/she has a particular/ important message to pass on to you from the nightmares or bad dreams then they should send it to you there. Visualise your pond and your protective water spirit before you go to bed and also through the day when feeling stressed. Remember to send her/him love for the great service they are performing for you. If you get this working right then your water guardian and the cool water will help to reinforce the blank slate you are wishing to experience. And if there are important messages to be relayed then they can be managed and cooled in terms of their emotional intensity before they reach you. Now, at the other end of the dr eam r ecall spectr um a high definition(HD) experience could mean you have woken up, perhaps in a sweat, from a dream with considerable emotional power. This could have been a dream that you did or didn’t want to have, or somewhere in between. What’s characteristic to it though is that your memory about it is very clear and the subject was emotionally charged. The important thing to ask yourself is did you feel like a passenger in the experience or did you feel like you

had some creative control in terms of what happened? Was it pleasurable and inspiring, or scary and energy sapping? And in terms of the HD aspect how good did it look? If it was scary and unpleasant then you might be interested in the water visualisation meditation offered earlier so you can develop some safe buffer zones. Or on the other hand, if you are pleased with your HD experience and would like to have more dream recall events like that then we are in for some exciting possibilities. Because in fact there are no limits to how good a dream can be. In fact, there are certain dream experiences achievable where your vision can be more vivid and intense than anything possible in waking life. But of course witnessing the visual equivalent of bliss is useless if you can’t remember it. So, instead of building buffer zones as with the previous exercise, this alternative meditation will be focussed on doing the opposite and bringing your rational conscious and dream worlds more closely together - if that’s what you desire. First we will make a clear intention in our mind that we want to begin improving our dream recall. Now visualize your rational consciousness as a beautiful fertile island inhabited with all of the wonderful ideas and aspirations that you are working towards in your daily life. Visualize the island being surrounded by the clearest of clear blue water that represents time that flows around and in and out of our lives. Now visualise a second island on the horizon equally stunning, colourful and beautiful. Feel free to deck it out with all those people and items that you hold dear and like to interact with. This island represents your positive dreaming experiences.

If you feel that you are having some success remembering your dreams already then feel free to position the second island closer to the first. Now visualise and build a bridge between these two islands. The bridge could be a crystalline structure with a cooling breeze or use some other materials that you prefer. Spend some time creating it with loving detail, attending to even the smallest features with passion. Next visualise yourself taking a step onto the bridge, then turn around and face your home island (your rational consciousness). Tell it that it will be fine and that you are just going out to do some dreaming. Reassure it, if it sends you nervous energy or fear about you leaving. If you feel uncomfortable with the idea of leaving the island or going further then you can just cease the exercise until another time when you feel more ready. For those who are continuing, turn back around and face your dream island. Walk boldly forwards and impress the importance of this adventure in your mind. ee yourself crossing the bridge and entering into your dream island. Tell yourself that you want to remember what happens here, and that you want to return with the memory of your experiences back across the bridge to your conscious mind when you wake up. Now, slowly bring yourself out of the meditation by returning to your home island. You can visualise yourself walking back across your bridge, or swimming through the crystal clear water, or perhaps flying through the clear skies or simply by instantaneous materialisation through force of will. If you get these exercises working well you may even find yourself seeing mermaids and lakes or islands and bridges in your dreams as the case may be. The more you repeat the meditations, the more the structures you create will be reinforced. In the next issue of Innerself, we will look a little more deeply into some other techniques for remembering dreams and also venture into the area of lucidity and being able to more consciously participate in some of your dream experiences.

On the 21st of June here in Adelaide we experience the Winter Solstice. The sun is at its most southern point and the night is the longest one of our year. It is a time of celebration. We now notice as each day gives just that little more light and those seeds hidden and hibernating through the winter slowly come to life beneath the surface. We are gently moving from darkness to light. The Winter Solstice is also referred to as Midwinter and Yule. While we here in the Southern Hemisphere celebrate winter solstice, the Nor thern Hemisphere is celebrating the Summer Solstice. I personally feel the Winter Solstice is a wonderful opportunity to honour the retreat we have entered into through the winter period. To come together with people we care about and celebrate new life now on the way. To find joy in the resilience and endurance we have demonstrated upon our personal journeys. A time of invoking that light filled joyousness in the midst of the midwinter cold and darkness. It is a great time to seed new ideas and intentions within your hear t, and to tend to those things we wish to grow. Winter Solstice can be an opportunity to reflect, review and express light filled joyousness and hope. The art for “Winter Tree” shown here is my expression of Midwinter. I asked Wendy Rule, International Songstress & Teacher, how she feels about this coming Midwinter. “In our busy western world, there can be a tendency to overemphasise the active parts of our lives. Nature teaches us that we need to find a balance between the darkness and the light, the day and the night, and also the Winter and the Summer. As an international touring musician, I have been travelling the globe for more than a decade, flying across hemispheres, performing at the Summertime music festivals of Europe, the USA and Australia. Because of this, it’s been quite a few years since I’ve ‘Midwintered’. But I could feel a part of me yearning for some deep time - time to reflect upon all my adventures, and time to journey into my inner world.” “The Winter Solstice is a time to

celebrate the part of us that remains evergreen, nur tured by our families and our communities. And it is a time to honour the light within - a time to deepen our relationship with ourselves and those closest to us. In days of yore, this was the time that our ancestors gathered around the hearth and shared their sacred stories and their colourful yarns. And I’m thrilled to be sharing this special time at the Blessed Gaia Solstice Sound Festival in Adelaide this June, where I’m sure that many stories will be shared, and many more created.” Within the private retreat and community celebrations, we may uncover aspects that we are ready to let go. The creative process is a cycle of life, death & rebirth. We are changing, always changing, just that little bit every day. So perhaps take this opportunity to self-reflect and connect with nature. Join with the Adelaide community at The Blessed Gaia Solstice Sound Festival and feel that light pulsing within. Celebrate in the way that is guided and sacred for you. Many Blessings, Petta KneeLah Wendy Rule travels the world sharing her sacred music, ritual and teachings www.wendyrule.com Petta KneeLah is an Artist, Healer and Teacher at www.celestialcity.com.au and recently founded Blessed Gaia, soon offering The Adelaide Solstice Sound Festival featuring Wendy Rule, Harmonic Project, Shanti Sound, Rising Lotus and many more.

Value You by Louise Tebble

Values – do you know what is important to you? I mean really know. I invite you now to ‘do’ your own Values Inventory. Why? If you don’t have a clear understanding of what it is you value in life, it is most likely that you will, sooner or later, find yourself living an unsatisfying life. Once identified, Values can then be utilised to guide us, not only in everyday life but Values can also act as a bright light when we are faced with major life events or those rather tricky T junctions, when we just don’t know which way to turn. Without intimate awareness of what is really important to us, we generally struggle and lose our way. In the 1990’s I completed a research thesis on Loss and Grief and so my first paid position, as a professional, was a Bereavement Consultant. I worked with the dying and their family members for three years - I was very privileged. I learnt one of the most valuable lessons I have ever learned, from those I served. I would like to share that with you now.

I never heard the dying say “I wished I work longer hours”; “I wish I indulged myself more in my addiction/s”; “I wished people just left me alone so I could do what I wanted”. I heard them say “I wish I spent more time with her/him”; “I wish I didn’t have to be right so often”; “I wish I really listened and then acted on that to show I did care” ; “I wished I put in the effort” ... “But I lost my way”. Knowing our Values equates to knowing our vulnerabilities, for they are both poured from the same vessel. When we work on our Values, related vulnerabilities surface and emotions stir. In fact, the emotions may stir to such a degree that we begin to feel rather uncomfortable, agitated and most disagreeable. It can quickly become a case of not being able to see the trees for the forest or the forest for the trees. Doing a Values Inventory I like to explore twelve areas of life: Parenting; Relationship with Par tner; Family Relationships; Social/Friends; Employment; Money/Prestige; Edu-

cation/Training; Recreation; Spiritualism/Religion; Community/Environment; Wellbeing; Relationship with Self. Think about each one; one at a time. Score each of these between 0-10 on how impor tant they are to you – ten being very important. Do all twelve. Then, look at the actual time and effort you place into each area and, using a different coloured pen, score each one again on these criteria – ten being a very high amount of energy and time. Compare the two. Where have we placed our ten out of tens? Where do the incongruences lie? Time to ACT, re-direct our energies into those ten out of ten areas, those areas most important to us, whilst time (as we know it) still ticks for us. Please see advertisement below for details.

WALKING WITH SPIRIT by Joy Brisbane

“Walking With Spirit” is Joy Brisbane’s second book, her other being “When Do The Tears Stop?” Joy is a psychic medium, trained in nursing and counselling. She facilitates workshops on grief healing, psychic ability and past life regression. She lives just out of Ballarat, Victoria, and combines her training and psychic abilities to help people move through traumatic experiences to reclaim happiness in their lives. Walking With Spirit is an extension of her work. It is a book of inspiration to guide you into knowing self-wor th and self-love and therefore happiness. Joy says, “Ultimately, we are all on this planet to learn one single lesson; how to live a happy and joyful life.” The thir ty chapters in Walking With Spirit are a guide to help the reader move beyond pain, de-

From

pression and anxiety. Joy addresses subjects such as self-love and forgiveness, guilt and resentment and the giant within us. She writes about using the positive power of the mind to overcome the negative power of the mind. COMMENTS FROM HER READERS “The book is very readable, not authoritative, at a grass roots level, from the hear t and above all, well written.” And, “Usually a small book like this I would read in one sitting but found I had to stop and reflect a lot. It is small in size but not in content; many words of wisdom with great examples.” Joy says, “When we learn to be powerful beings from a place of love instead of a place of fear, then our relationships with others will become joyful experiences. When we learn to love self, our love for others will

expand, grow and deepen because we will be in touch with who we truly are: beautiful and magnificent beings, the gods/goddesses within. And we will recognise the beauty in others.” Walking With Spirit can be purchased t h r o u g h Joy ’ s w e b s i t e w w w. joybrisbane.com

Is it the ‘Trees for the Forest’ or the ‘Forest for the Trees’?

BY JAYNIE MORRIS

Many of us are often guilty of ‘failing to see the trees for the forest’. As a child, my influence of the ways of life was my best friend,my Mother. She taught me lessons that upon reflection could all be directly related to this previous quote. When was the last time you felt the world was coming down hard on you, that your day ran out of hours, your weekend had just begun and yet you were preparing for Monday’s return to work… the walk you had promised yourself to do or that workout at the gym, had simply been passed up as you were too busy or perhaps you were finding yourself in that place where there’s still too much ‘month’ at the ‘end of the money’? If you are able to relate to any of those or indeed, if you can add some more like missing out on your child’s spor ts day event because you are too busy…then you’re definitely ‘failing to see the trees for the forest’. How is your health? When was the last time you went for a walk for 30 minutes? Are you drinking coffee and carbonated drinks every day and how many are you having?

When was the last time you cooked yourself and your family a healthy meal without all the fat, sugar and butter? What did you have for breakfast today? If someone took a photo of you and compared it to one taken five years ago, what differences would you see? Stand up right now… reach your hands above your head, clasp them together… stretch them right up then forward in front of you and right down to touch your toes… don’t bend your knees. Were you able to do it easily and effortlessly or??? How is your bank account? How is your savings account? Do you easily pay every account when it arrives in your letterbox, without stress or worry? Is your mortgage paid off or is that new home deposit on track? Are you able to say ‘yes’ every time your child asks if they can go on a school excursion or they have new sports shoes and clothes? Are you counting the days to your fabulous, overseas holiday that you’ve fully paid for and have savings to spend whilst you are away? Write down on a piece of paper the amount of money you’re required to spend every month on all your liv-

ing expenses; rental/mortgage payments; food, clothing, multiply that amount by 3. EG total monthly expenses $3500 x 3 = $10,500 Do you have $10,500 in your savings account right now that will not be used for anything at all? If the answer is YES then that’s good as this is the amount that you need to survive if today, your monthly income for some reason stopped completely due to a job retrenchment; personal accident for instance. If the answer is NO then clearly, it’s time to stop ‘failing to see the trees for the forest’. I used to be one of those people who was guilty of having those days, and then I met my Mentor, Mr Jim Rohn. I was doing incredibly well in life, or so I thought. I had an outstanding job in a highly paid corporate position in the industry that I am passionate about. I was able to provide for my family whatever they wanted. I travelled the world without concern of money. I swam every day and ate healthily and certainly felt I had no issues in life. Jim was quite candid and blunt in our first session together and wow… did it make an impact. I was clearly arrogant about the realities of life. From that session onwards I took a step back, revisited the life lessons my Mother had instilled in me and reassessed my life. We often hear the saying ‘Life is too short’ however do we hear that and allow

While our conscious mind is the rational, decision-making part of our mind, there are also many things that we do subconsciously – things we are not consciously aware of. The subconscious is the part that is in control of all that is subconsciously initiated, whether it is mental, emotional or physical. Although no one has ever seen one (the same applies to the conscious mind for that matter), we know it is the part of us that automatically feels and responds, without us consciously making it happen. It has an imprinted memory or impression of every feeling from when we first begin to feel – even in the womb, before we learn to speak.

The subconscious is that more intuitive, creative part of us that holds the key to all of our life experiences. It controls all our emotional feelings, our creative imagination, and our ability to meditate and dream. It allows us to walk down the street, dance, or drive a car safely, while our conscious mind is thinking about something else entirely. It is a part of our ‘inner self’ that is in charge of our automatic responses, our ability to heal, and our ability to experience love, happiness, fear, depression etc. When a per son is unable to change unwanted feelings, responses or behaviours through conscious effort or will power, it is usually an indication of subconscious conflicts. While they remain, they can, and often do, lead to unwanted symptoms. Consciously, we are usually only aware of the symptoms, not the inner conflicts. Our subconscious mind is neither ‘good’ nor ‘bad’ – it simply IS. It takes care of us and protects us and gives us the ability to be ‘human’. That means being sad or unhealthy

as well as happy and healthy. More impor tantly, with the appropriate help, it also has the ability to make changes to many everyday emotional and physical problems.

Why should it be that for many it takes a life threatening situation either to themselves or to one of the loved ones, before they assess their lives and make the changes necessary to truly live and enjoy the gift we have been given? Stop here and go back to the beginning of this article… re-read the questions and answer honestly the questions. Ask yourself “Am I happy, really incredibly happy?” Then ask yourself, “Am I in physical and financial pain?” Once you have completed that exercise simple write down the answer to this question, “What 5 things do I want to change in my life today?” You’ve now started on a very special journey…you are now taking the small, simple steps to making change to improve your life. The reason is that if you are healthy, happy, financially in control and stressfree…your friends and family see that and they cannot help but be positively affected by it. It simply takes one person to start to make a change…that’s all..just one person. There is an answer to becoming free of physical and financial pain and what comes with this is genuine happiness, more time freedom to do what you want, when you want…and an ability to not simply create the life you truly deserve, however contribute to helping others achieve the same. In recent years I have received a new Mentor following the passing of my Mother and Jim Rohn. He’s ‘taken up the slack’ that the passing of the others created as I wallowed in grief and loss. He simply reshowed me the lessons and has given me more and now I can truly say I am living the life I truly deserve…completely free of physical and financial pain…happy and stressfree and with time for my friends and my much loved sons and family. You can too… its not hard, its not difficult…its actually quite simple and its waiting right now!

Depression is not a dirty word

by Bronwyn Barter

Recently I was asked to do a talk at a special event for the public. It was left up to me what I would speak about, but when I said that I would probably speak on the subject of depression, I got a frown and the comment that the subject was a “bit heavy and unpopular and could I talk about something else?”! As a Rebirther/Breathworker I see a lot of clients who are feeling depressed for one reason or other. Many people just feel a sense of relief by simply expressing their thoughts and feelings and getting some support at a psychosocial level. It is clear that if speaking about depression is uncomfortable, and we are discouraged from talking about it, it will never come out from under the cloak of shame and the finger pointing from those who have been untouched by this condition. Here are some interesting facts about depression; one in seven Australians will suffer from being depressed in their lifetime. Depression has the third highest burden of all diseases in Australia. Burden of disease refers to the total impact of a disease measured by financial cost, mortality, morbidity and other indicators. Burden of disease is often expressed as number of years of life lost due to ill-health, disability or early death. Depression is the number one cause of non-fatal disability in Australia. This means that on average, people with depression live with this disability for a higher number of years than people suffering from other non-fatal diseases such as hearing loss and dementia. The World Health Organisation estimates that depression will be the number one health concern in both the developed and developing nations by 2030. (1) The above facts indicate to me that although this subject may be unpopular, it is relevant today on Australia and the rest of the world. The ability to steer away from this subject just keeps it in its place. Its place, it seems, is one of hidden shame and brewing like a volcano; it is about to burst. We can’t live without looking at what ails us. Denial and avoidance creates acceleration of a problem and stunts the opportunity to learn and grow. There is always a cause of depression. Someone doesn’t just get depressed. Its not a disease of the body, it’s the result of upset, internalization and depressed and suppressed feelings and emotions. Recently one of my clients told me that she was depressed. That’s like saying “I am a broken arm” if you had a broken arm. The statement if expressed another way, would be “I am feeling depressed”, now we have something that we can work with. Depression has been medicalised and is named as a mental illness, when in fact it is a natural human experience. Feeling sad, down, lethargic or unmotivated is not an illness, it’s a condition, a response to some-

thing that has happened. The event could be recent or in the past, either way depression is just like a big hole in the ground, if it is not filled up with positive attitudes and thoughts, it fills up with the next shower of rain and one can easily be drowned in it. The sheer concealing of sadness and grief creates an abnormal chemical reaction in the body. The stress hormones fire up and create seemingly crazy body responses and reactions. The imbalance is a result of the brain triggering off the stress response continuously, minute by minute and hour by hour. Serotonin levels go way out of balance as a result of the stress that we create, we don’t suffer from depression as a result of an original imbalance. We cause the imbalance. There are no conclusive tests for the levels of Serotonin in the body, as it is not known how much or how little Serotonin is needed by any individual to establish equilibrium in the brain. Did your doctor give you a blood test before she prescribed antidepressant drugs for you, or did she just tick off some symptoms on a check sheet, often provided by a pharmaceutical company, and declare that you are depressed? Often when clients come to see me they are no longer wanting the drugs, but are now addicted to them. After years of taking them they need help to wean themselves back to reality and then be able to feel and respond normally again. So why swallow the pills? Studies have shown that those patients with depression and on anti-depressants will do much better if they are doing some form of talktherapy than those that don’t. Then why not start with the therapy and only do the drug therapy if an actual brain illness occurs? Depression is not usually caused by a brain injury. It’s a feeling, a feeling of being low in energy and helpless. When a client accepts personal responsibility for their feelings and responses and what caused them, they can then go on and change their attitude to their experiences, gain some insights and respond differently to create a more positive outlook. Therapy and the support to change, without collusion, from a practitioner will help a person who is feeling depressed, to overcome their sadness, grief or helplessness and steer them in a direction that is practical and empowering. Put like this it sounds really simple, it is.

Your Ascension - Part 2

Welcome to the New Year and New Earth of 2013. The prelude to this year wasn’t without its share of physical and emotional shifts, global shifts, shifts in consciousness and fatigue of just being on this earth’s lower vibration. The cloak of our past has weighed heavy on our souls but we should be starting to feel some relief now from the burden of not being our authentic selves. For to live in our light bodies is a yearning we have all been eagerly awaiting. It has been said: The War is Over, The Battle Won and LOVE was the victor. Interesting how we use the terminology of : ‘War on Cancer’ and ‘Fight for a Cure’ and that we believe going to war will stop people killing each other. Maybe now we can replace the words ‘battle, struggle, fight, war and control’ with ‘negotiate, challenge, compromise, peace and surrender’, starting with our own internal challenges. Over the last few months especially, we have experienced solar eclipses, lunar eclipses, and super moons, so it’s no wonder our bodies have gone through an emotional detoxification. Solar activity is a catalyst for evolutionary process as it changes matter, energy and consciousness. We are all aware of the Galactic Alignment with the Earth and the core of the Milky Way that occurred but what did it really mean to us? Solar flares affect our central nervous system causing us to become nervous, lethargic, anxious, worrying, memory loss, trouble with communication, headaches and irritability. Solar activity then comes in to illuminate consciousness by opening our new neuro pathways and old patterns are virtually consumed by the light. As the Earth goes through this ascension to a higher vibration from 3rd Dimensional to 5th, so did we. This means what was previously called our ‘junk DNA’ by scientists is now being activated and available to us. This is where we access ESP, the ability to see auras, enhanced intuition, more inner peace, more synchronicities and deeper connectedness to the Earth and all its creatures. With this 12 Strand DNA now being activated the energy rises and purifies each chakra, releasing energy blocks, hence our erratic mood swings. This is called Kundalini energy, often referred to as Kundalini Rising as it lies dormant as the base of our spine like a snake coiled until it is time for each chakra to be cleansed and awakened. So with all this activity going on, especially in the latter half of last year we could be excused for believing the world was going a little mad, border lining between extreme highs and lows. The new energy is going to mean different things to different people but the overall message is that our Heart Chakra energy is opening up and changes are inevitable. The level of change will be very individual. Some of us will follow these new instincts and others will continue to resist. Some signs that we are on the ascension path will be that we can observe our own behaviours and are more likely to be able to self correct; we are following our instincts more and thinking with our

hearts rather than our brain. We will be more interested in spiritual practices ranging from meditation, energy healings, and spiritual workshops or just getting closer to nature. This is our natural state to be a ‘feeling’ being, rather than a ‘thinking’ being. When we are not caught up in the material world and worrying about keeping up with a nonexistent society and its rules, we will automatically default back to what feels natural and right for us. It’s no surprise that so many people flock to the ocean, lakes and nature for their vacations. It’s our natural state of energizing ourselves. We will also be drawn to keeping that state of vibrational elevation by choosing non toxic cleaning products, organic foods and toxic free relationships. Our curiosity for understanding our patterns and limiting beliefs will also be a symptom that we are truly coming into an age of ascension where the Heart is the Master Organ and fear no longer has the power over us. The most important part of learning to ride the rollercoaster of change is to surrender to the different stages of emotions and allow them to pass through rather than cause them to get stuck in our bodies by resisting. The message for this new energy comes back to the fact that underneath all our habits, beliefs, fears, theories and emotional baggage, we are all interconnected, interrelated and interdependent. The Heart being the Master Organ means it is Number One. It’s all about the Oneness. What affects one, affects all. The Awakening has the scales tipped in the favour of humanity. We all now want the same thing. Peace and Humanity will become our Life Purpose. I believe that people’s obsession with acquiring ‘things’ is our actual craving for human touch. The touch of a hand, hug, and hand on the shoulder is part of reclaiming our oneness. It is why there are so many people out there ‘looking for love’. They are just looking to reclaim that love inside that has been buried under the veil of the lower vibration energy. We all have the inner knowledge that we are all connected, people, animals, plants and the earth. It is no longer Us or Them…we are all in this together. We have resisted feeling or showing love in fear that it may be rejected or unrequited. Love is in abundance now. It is the only thing we don’t need to be frugal with. Love is the only thing that the more we give away, the more we receive. There is no longer a need to protect ourselves. My quote for you today is: I AM SAFE I AM LOVED I AM PROTECTED With Love, Light and Passion Debbi Kemp Facebook: Debbi Kemp Angel Whisperer Visit www.angelwhispere.com.au or phone 0408 830 900

What stops you from achieving your goals? BY DAVID LANE

Do you believe that your gaols are realistic? Yes! - then that’s not the problem! Have you made a real plan and applied effort towards achieving them? Yes! – That’s probably not the problem either! So what’s the problem? Why aren’t you achieving your goals and dreams? One thing is for sure; you haven’t failed – not unless you have completely given up. There must be other factors affecting the outcome! There is a very high chance that the problem lays silent, but very active within! It has been said that ‘we are our own worst enemy’. It may be more accurate to say that our ‘negative subconscious thought patterns’ are our worst enemy. They quietly fester away generating outcomes that can often totally sabotage any conscious positive thoughts, goals and dreams. They have the ability to make some people’s lives unbearably hard, so hard that they get to a point of giving up, even on life. Who needs enemies when we have these types of negatives running undetected and rampant in our subconscious? Strong positive Universal energies are enhancing the earth plane and our personal energy fields, more now than any other point in our lifetime. We have a great oppor tunity to capitalise on their support. It is easier to create outcomes now than it was as recent as last year. This oppor tunity coincides with the predicted consciousness shift in December 2012. Our planet’s ride through the photon belt is also at a peak and this means that the amount of photons (light energy) bombarding earth is as its strongest. It could be said that our energy field is super charged at the moment. These are very exciting times for those who want to create positive outcomes or spiritually evolve. How does all this affect how we can achieve our goals? It means that we are now swimming with the tide of change instead of against it or (to use another analogy); we are now swimming downstream instead of upstream! This greatly enhances our ability to change for the better. Our biggest stumbling block to change is our negative subconscious thought patterns that are hindering and in some cases; destroying our ability to create what we want. Negative conscious thought patterns are destructive enough but at least we are aware of them (if we choose to look). Negative subconscious thought patterns are much more obstructive and even devastating because we are not aware of them. These patterns can run unbridled, causing all sorts of problems. Humans tend to blame the outside world and other people for the obstacles or emotional pain that they face nearly every day. They are looking in the wrong place. The main generators of their problems lay hidden

in their subconscious and unfortunately; not many know how to uncover and monitor them. Most of us know and have experienced the reality that ‘positive thinking’

will generate positive outcomes. What is not so readily understood is; that this will only work if the energy created by those positive thoughts is stronger than any negative subconscious thought patterns that are creating an opposite outcome. When there are two conflicting energies being generated by the mind; the strongest will always win! It does not matter what level these thought patterns are being generated on – conscious or subconscious. If you have tried to positively create something and it did not come into fruition; it does not necessarily mean that you have not done it right or that you are a failure. It is more likely to mean that you have a negative subconscious thought pattern generating a different outcome. We can imprint new beliefs into our ‘long term memory’ to effect change in our beliefs. People can do this through concentrated mind activities such as prayer, meditation, repeating thought patterns such as through affirmations. More recently; activities such as EFT (emotional freedom technique) have been introduced. All these have shown

to be effective. These methods are great if they work and still holding after a year or more. If they are slowly becoming less effective or do not work at all; then it is highly likely that there is a subconscious thought pattern creating a different outcome. These negative thoughts will keep on generating negative energy and creating negative outcomes until you either change them; or die. Changing them sounds like a much better option to me! It is possible to change these sublime negative patterns. We need to be able to identify them – recognise the belief systems that are creating them - understand the origins of the belief system. Then we can move into the healing process of changing or transmuting the beliefs. We can only heal something to the level that we understand it or are ready to surrender to, or accept it. This whole process of tackling our negative subconscious thought patterns is a little more complex than the last paragraph suggests. If you want to explore this subject further; you will find relevant information and exercises on my web site. Some of the

165th Anniversary of Modern Spiritualism 31st March 2013 Why do Spiritualists say Modern Spiritualism began at Hydesville 31st March 1848? It is important to understand the answer to this question, especially as from the movement’s earliest days some people have always tried to directly link Spiritualism with their personal Christian beliefs. In addition there have been many publications which try to justify the 1848 events, together with subsequent contact with Spirit, by reference to Biblical prophecies and miracles. The basic difference is really quite simple to explain, at Hydesville the Discarnate Spirit of an ordinary person communicated with normal people living ordinary lives in the small cottage in a remote hamlet in New York State where the Fox family lived. This was not some prophetic dispensation direct from either God or one of his exalted messengers to a “chosen one,” as some form of new divine revelation. History does record that Spirit had made previous attempts at such an ordinary communication from the Spirits of ordinary people. Notable examples of this were recorded in the cases of the Drummer of Tedworth, the events at Epworth Rectory, the Molesworth Poltergeist and in the USA the Bell witch incident.

In addition the movement was affected by the impact of new religious thinking, mainly based upon claims of such prophetic revelations from God. Most important amongst these was the influence of Emmanuel Swedenborg, whose work was to be a major influence upon Andrew Jackson Davis, the Poughkeepsie Seer, who is a very important and influential figure in the development of Spiritualism. The religious fervor of New York State was another major factor in the rapid development of the movement. In addition to the rapid growth of many religious sects in this state two major churches were founded there as a result of prophetic revelations. The first of these led to the creation of the Mormon Church. The second started as the Millerite Church, founded on a prophecy to Samuel Miller of Jesus Christ’s return in 1843. Subsequently this church became the Seventh Day Adventists. This meant that New York State was an ideal place for Spirit to begin communicating because it offered a greater chance that this would be readily accepted. There are some particularly good internet pieces on the history of the area which give an idea of the social, religious and economic environment. So Spiritualists treat this new com-

munication in a very different way from past contact with God’s exalted messengers and the biblical miracles. It is seen to be a reflection of natural law, previously unrevealed to us. As the communications have developed our understanding has grown. Additionally, through history there have been open minded men of science or psychology who have studied the phenomena of Spiritualism pronouncing them to be real and provable. The last 165 years has seen the formation of a new philosophy, the cornerstone of which is Mediumship which provides the absolute proof of the continued survival of the individual, with their personality intact. Through May and June the Mission is hosting many events where you can experience this and they are listed in our Advertisement in this edition.

WITH DIANE MCCANN

David Lane’ s spiritual journey started out with Christianity but now includes many other understandings drawn from a diverse range of information. He believes that we are all individuals who have come to tread our own unique spiritual path. David’s first book called ‘The Handbook to Heaven’ is about how we spiritually evolve and how to monitor our journey and is available online. David has also developed an on-line course on ‘practical spiritual evolution’. David’s focus is on taking the mysticism out of spirituality by bringing the concepts of spiritual truths and science (quantum physics) together. He does this by seeking explanations found in both institutions that complement each other. This exploration has uncovered many common denominators which give (often) profound new understandings of how our Creator operates.

Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time. Thomas A. Edison

EMOTION - THE LIFESAVER OF THE WORLD At a recent training we had 70 plus women and 6 men! I saw that back in the 80s and thought surely things have changed but it seems not so much! I know from our men’s workshops that there are conscious men out there who are committed to making a difference in the world, who want conscious relationships but where are you? I hear many men complaining about the fact that they don’t get enough sex... maybe it is because for many women sex becomes boring and both sexes could do with some lessons in how to communicate better, how to ask for what you each want and how to be better lovers. I hear both men and women complaining about the other constantly. I was recently inter viewed for a new book about to be launched about the Regeneration of Men. It made me think! I see three categories of men. Those who are afraid to be vulnerable, afraid to stand up for themselves and just go along because it is the easiest thing to do. (A close relative was like that, ‘yes dear, no dear’ and he finished up with cancer of the testes). Then there are the macho men who know everything and are equally as afraid to be vulnerable but rather than giving in, they defend their views and rights to the end. Then we have the third group which must mean you if you are male and reading this column. Men who yearn to be vulnerable and be accepted as that. Men who don’t always know the answers, who would often rather be held in bed rather than make love, because they don’t have the energy really and they are exhausted from trying to be everything and provide everything for their loved ones... plus they always always have to perform for their woman sexually. Men who are conscious and are doing some work on themselves to change the patterns that have held them bound in their knight’s armor allowing no one to see what is really going on inside. When are both sexes going to admit that neither sex have the answers? I believe all of us are doing the best we know how to do with the tools available and both sexes need to learn to communicate better and

complain less. If we only remembered that everything is a reflection of ourselves and that what we see in others is a reflection of what we have in ourselves and most “stuff” is just the past coming up to be healed then we could be on the way to the future... a future which allows for men to be vulnerable and to feel what they feel without being embarrassed about those beautiful tears in their eyes... One that would allow men to deal with their anger and understand it is okay to feel that feeling rather than have it explode out onto someone they love. Men who truly feel... who don’t turn something serious and hear tfelt into a joke. My wish would see men healing their relationships with their parents, being able to tell their fathers that they love them and that they want to be respected and loved for who they are and not for what they have or have not done in their life. Emotion is a powerful tool for healing. Recently I had a huge public healing which revealed parts of myself unknown to 99.9% of the group. Afterwards I felt fantastic but people were still in the depths of their own emotions as my session brought up their own pain. two particular people came to me, both upset, one said I have just rung my father and told him I love him and the other said I had to go and ring my son and tell him I am sorry I wasn’t the father he needed but I will do better now. I was touched that my release assisted others that day however I know it was because it was a safe setting for them to heal in and in our everyday lives we don’t give ourselves permission to go there. My wish for you all is that you do the work on yourselves to allow your past to be healed so that you might be in present time consciousness and thus create relationships that will support you in that growth as you both dive into and out of the well of emotion, which in the end just could be the life saver of the world.

COMING HOME TO YOURSELF! If you had an opportunity to be in a space where you could be “authentic”, where it didn’t matter what your past was or even if you couldn’t see your future; if years of past pain or present challenges, confusion, job/relationship issues could transform like magic in 48 hours into clarity… If you were accepted simply because you were there… if there was no judgement, no need for you to smile if you didn’t want to, or even talk if you didn’t have the need to… If you were given the gift of transforming how you feel about yourself and your life in two short days… would you take it? Well, thousands of women in countries like Australia, Singapore, Malaysia, USA and UK over the past twenty six years have had the opportunity to do just that by attending a women’s seminar called The Goddess Within! And so they come…. Mothers, daughters, grandmothers… some dragged by friends, others paid for by someone who loves them, some have come wearing the mask of “I’m fine” while inside they felt broken. The majority come willingly, knowing somehow in their psyche, that they just had to be there, but not even knowing why! For some their lives work and they choose to give themselves a Gift. For others, the pain is deep and shows in faces lined with hurt, shoulders carrying burdens, hearts broken, but come they do. Not to have to share the story of their pain, or scream and cathart about their life, but simply to be in a space of incredible transformation, made that way by a woman of vision with a passion for peace and her team of women who come to assist and give back because of their own transformations from attending the course. When asked how they are 48 hours after stepping into the space, women say: Heart connected; Reconnected with my Femininity; Brought me Home; Life changing; Self healing; Realigned to my inner worth; Empowered; Life-saving; Aweinspiring; Transformed; Healed and whole; Grateful… and the words go on but more importantly so do the women. They go on and continue to change, not just their lives but the lives of those around them. Like Faizah who came to Goddess, completely broken from discovering her husband had an affair and an impending divorce was her future and she had two tiny daughters. Today she is a member of Parliament in Singapore making a huge difference especially in areas of women’s issues and the environment; or Saleemah who contemplated suicide and, in her words said: “I was crying all the time - crying about being abandoned and traumatised over incest that happened in my family. Now I am helping underage girls who have been sexually assaulted and who have been forced into prostitution in this region through an organisation called UNIFEM of which I am the President”. Or Pat, whose husband left, she just “knew” she had to attend and 17 years later is still there, giving back by preparing beautiful food for the new women to nurture their souls while they heal. Or Elizabeth, so totally invisible and scared that once she hid in a cupboard to avoid people coming to the house. She is now a renowned storyteller and is a practitioner helping others. Or Rebecca, who was an anorexic addict who left school at 15. After Goddess she went back to Uni, got a degree, became a belly dancer, discovered her inner artist and is about to begin teaching dance. The women’s stories are all different but the essence of their “now” is the same. They all have learned to love themselves, honour their place in this world and they all continue to do what they can to make a difference in this world of ours. The Goddess Within is where you will find answers. You will discover the patterns that keep you stuck, you will learn about the effects of particular birthing styles on your life. You will see the power of your mind and learn the difference between what you are consciously attempting to create and the way to shift the subconscious stuff that keeps popping up. You will receive an entire tool-box of tools to be able to transform your life into one where you are creating an intentional life that works rather than reacting to subconscious patterning. You will heal, grow, become inspired, get in touch with your Core essence and from there, anything is possible. Are you ready…. To heal, to grow, to be the best that you can be? Then contact Beyond The Ordinary on 08-82481281 or email beyondtheordinary@internode.on.net or www.beyondtheordinary.net.au for more information.

1 MK Some lateral thinking produces surprising results 2 ƒ 3rd Quarter Moon K What has been realised is now ready to be utilised however patience is required as the outcome of efforts are still to come. For some there is a sense of struggle and strength of will as well as commitment are called for. A good time to undertake tasks which need perseverance. 3 4 M L Hunches and intuition have a role to play. 5 6 MA Take action to get things moving in the right direction. 7 8 MB A practical and common sense approach is called for. 9 10 ] New Moon B Solar Eclipse The New Moon brings a sense of expectation especially with the solar eclipse signaling the clearing of a lingering matter and the easing of tension. Some may experience a sense of loss or grief as the final letting go of something which has been present for a while. But as one door closes, another opens bringing a sense of completion as well as optimism for a new beginning. 11 MC Keep your ear to the ground to gain information needed. 12 13 MD Increased sensitivity makes you protective. 14 15 16 ME Relish the attention when it is earned. 17 18 ‡ 1st Quarter Moon E M enters F The challenges of this time are to implement changes that are needed in spite of resistance however it is not about forcing an issue. Subtlety and patience will achieve much more especially if they are grounded in practicality. Look after the details are they are the key to making things work. 19 20 21 MG Sun enters C Interaction with others is important but do not compromise your opinion simply to keep the peace. Versatility, Communication and Logic are the characteristics of Gemini 22 23 M H Intense emotions may surface so be prepared for overreaction to seemingly ordinary situations. 24 25 M I … Full Moon I Lunar Eclipse The Full Moon sheds its light and together with the lunar eclipse highlights a time when certain matters are now passing. There may be an increased optimism as what was once a worry is now resolved. As with the previous eclipse, the sense of loss and grief lingers for something or someone that once was prominent but is now no longer the focus. 26 27 MJ Take responsibility and be credible in all activities. 28 29 M K Be prepared to look at things differently with knowledge and information emphasised. 30 31 M L Increased sensitivity impacts on matters at hand.

1 ƒ 3rd Quarter Moon L There may be confusion or a lack of clarity with regard to what has been achieved to date. Exaggerated claims either on the positive or negative side should be taken at face value without corroborating facts. 2 MA Take the initiative and lead the way in finishing what has been left undone. 3 4 5 MB A practical approach will get things done. 6 7 MC Avoid relying on hearsay to gain information. 8 9 ] New Moon C The New Moon emphasises a need for clear, objective and reliable information. Extremes or exaggerations should be avoided as they will not provide a clear picture. Take time to instigate initiatives based on reliable data as this will help ensure good outcomes. 10 MD Avoid letting emotional ties dictate your actions or responses. 11 12 ME Take pride in what has been accomplished but do not rest on our laurels. 13 14 15 MF An analytical view of things may help you find what you are looking for. 16 17 ‡ 1st Quarter Moon F M enters G Detail and analysis will be critical as things are set in motion. Take the time to ensure that what is required is both at hand and in good working order. For some, the practical application of creative effort and skills are called for. As the Moon changes sign, the focus shifts slightly and the need for cooperation is emphasised but not at the expense of individual goals. 18 19 MH Emotions run high and there is a tendency to overreact if challenges are perceived as threats. 20 21 MI Sun enters D Inspiration and a bird’s eye view will help move things forward. Nurturing, Creative and Protective are the characteristics of Cancer. 22 23 MJ … Full Moon J A hands-on approach is the best way to ensure that things are done properly as the Full Moon highlights the need for responsible action and credible outcomes. The latter may not come about quickly so patience and perseverance are required in order to realise the goals set. 24 25 MK Value knowledge gained even if it is from unusual sources. 26 27 ML Increased sensitivity impacts on matters at hand. 28 29 MA Take the initiative and lead the way in finishing what has been left undone. 30 ƒ 3rd Quarter Moon A Effort is required to break through the remaining obstacles however it is important to apply some discretion as to when and how the effort is applied. Timeliness and precision will ensure good results.

1 2 MB Be practical but not stubborn in your pursuit of goals. 3 4 MC Consider all information, as this will be of importance. 5 6 7 MD Emotional bonds with friends and family dominate. 8 ] New Moon D The New Moon colours this time with an emphasis on establishing and maintaining close contact with those that matter. There is a need to take the initiative where communication is concerned otherwise relying on others may cause misunderstanding at best or disagreements at worst. This is a time to engender a good foundation based on mutual trust, respect and need. 9 ME Take your pride in hand before it can cause problems. 10 11 12 MF Look after details and you will be surprised by results. 13 14 MG Consensus can achieve much but make sure that everyone does their part. 15 16 ‡ 1st Quarter M G M enters H The continued emphasis on good relations requires effort especially in ensuring that others are not taken for granted. Ensure others are kept informed but also maintain good relations by keeping their needs in mind. Maintain a united front in order to repel challenges. 17 18 19 MI Enthusiasm and inspiration will help spur things along. 20 21 MJ Take control of matters but avoid being autocratic. 22 23 MK … Full Moon K Sun enters E The Full Moon brings things into perspective highlighting the need for enthusiasm and action balanced with prudence and patience. Many things are still uncertain so the need to keep the momentum up is important. The goals for this period are centered on doing the right thing and maintaining credibility in spite of difficult circumstances. Proud, Energetic and Commanding are the characteristics of Leo 24 25 ML Be prepared to back your intuition, as it may prove to important. 26 27 MA A desire to get things moving again and a challenge is always welcome. 28 29 M B Stability is important but avoid hanging on simply for the sake of it. 30 ƒ 3rd Quarter Moon B The sense that an ideal has been achieved should be tempered with a strong dose of realism otherwise disappointment and disillusionment are possibilities. Keep the feet firmly on the ground and do not get carried away with the dream as you may end up tripping. 31

LUNAR PHASES AND PERSONALITY TYPES Lunar phases occur as a result of the relationship between the Sun and the Moon. This cyclic relationship produces the lunar cycle and everyone is born at a particular point in this cycle. A birth can be labelled as a “first quarter” “full moon” or “balsamic”. The lunar phase a person is born in refers to the relationship between the person’s Sun (the sense of self) with their Moon (their emotional expression and security). Therefore, the lunar phase that a person is born in can reflect how that person deals with life - the nature of the energy and their attitude to life and how they deal with it. The lunation cycle is a visible symbol of our place in the larger cycle of life. Without a calendar, we cannot accurately pinpoint our day of birth, however, we can easily

discern our “Moon” birthday simply by looking at the phase of the Moon. Every month, each and every one of us resonates to that aspect of the Sun-Moon relationship that is imprinted in our psyches. This describes the basic capacity of the person to relate to life generally. In order to find the lunation phase you are born under, you can consult an almanac for the year and find out what the Moon phase nearest to when you were born. Dane Rudhyar, a famous astrologer developed the theory of phases and used it to develop the eight lunation types of personality which we will be discussed in a series of short articles over the coming issues.

POLYCYSTIC OVARY SYNDROME Natural Medicines Address the Cause! The #1 trigger for Polycystic ovary syndrome is insulin induced ovarian androgen production and this is, therefore, the key to management! Luckily natural medicine approaches: nutritional, herbal and lifestyle are very effective in treating insulin resistance! Polycystic ovary syndrome or PCOS is a common women’s health issue associated with erratic menstrual cycles, excessive body hair (hirsutism) and infertility. Fundamentally, PCOS is a metabolic condition associated with insulin resistance. Insulin resistance leads to increased insulin production that in turn leads to increased ovarian androgen production. This interplay of hormonal aberrations often results in erratic ovulation and infertility. The underlying cause of PCOS, insulin resistance, is part of a cluster of conditions called “metabolic syndrome” that includes high blood pressure, low levels of ‘’good’’ cholesterol, high triglycerides and obesity. PCOS increases your risk for metabolic syndrome and metabolic syndrome increases your risk for heart disease, stroke and diabetes. Nutritionally the best news is myo inositol! A B complex vitamin,

myo inositol is produced naturally in the human body. It is also found in many foods including fruits, nuts and beans. A lack of myo inositol or its utilisation has been linked with insulin resistance and PCOS. Insulin signalling pathways are heavily dependent upon inositol and a defect in these pathways has been discovered in women with PCOS. Supplying extra myo inositol temporarily corrects the insulin pathways and reduces the signs and symptoms of insulin resistance. The November 2003 issue of the “European Review for Medical and Pharmacological Sciences’’ published a randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled trial that tested the effects of inositol supplementation on irregular or absent ovulation in women with PCOS. Women in the inositol group began experiencing normal ovulation sooner and with greater frequency compared to the control group. In April 2010 the ‘’Gynecological Endocrinology” journal published a study that compared the effects of supplementing with 4 g of inositol plus 400 mcg of folic acid daily or metformin ( a diabetic drug) on stimulating ovulation. Sixty five percent

of the inositol group achieved spontaneous ovulation as compared to fifty percent of the Metformin grouop and 30 percent of the inositol group got pregnant as compared to 18.3 percent of the Metformin group. PCOS often causes distressing symptoms such as acne and excess hair growth on the face and other areas due to elevated androgen (male hormone) levels. The March 2009 issue of the ‘’European Review for Medical and Pharmacological Sciences’’ published results of a trial that tested the effects of inositol plus folic acid or just folic acid on conditions present in PCOS sufferers, including elevated testosterone levels. It was found subjects taking inositol experienced significant drops in testosterone levels as well as a decrease in triglycerides and diastolic and systolic blood pressure and increased insulin sensitivity. Herbal medicines also offer a means to address insulin resistance. Gymnema, a traditional Indian (Ayurvedic) remedy is only one example of many with support in the scientific literature. Most of the research has focused on the treatment of diabetes – also an insulin resistance problem. In a 2009 an animal (in-vivo) study published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology (Volume 126, Issue 2, 12 November 2009, Pages 339–344) found Gymnema to be effective in lowering both blood sugar levels and blood lipids (cholesterol). The authors described Gymnema as “a drug which could be used for treating diabetes”. In 2010 an open label human trial was described a group supplemented with 500 mg of the herb per day for a period of 3 months. The efficacy of the herb was assessed through a battery of clinical and biochemical tests. Supplementation

www.innerself.com.au of the diet with gymnemea reduced polyphagia (excessive eating), fatigue, blood glucose levels (fasting and after meals), and glycated hemoglobin (longer term view of blood sugar management) and there was a favorable shift in lipid profiles (cholesterol) and in other clinicobiochemical tests. (Journal of Dietary Supplements 2010 7:3, 273-282 )

Journal of Dietary Supplements

Despite the fact the above studies focused on diabetes we know that diabetes occupies a common ground with PCOS and those with PCOS are more at risk of diabetes. Soon we hope more research will come into the fore on herbal medicine and PCOS specifically. In the meantime we know that addressing insulin resistance with nutritional, herbal and lifestyle measures such as exercise is not only reasonable but well supported by research.

Sleep Disorders

Well this is a problem that is close to my heart, because for most of my life I have had problems sleeping. Many nights I have watched with envy as my husband goes to bed and I see him literally fall asleep before his head hits the pillow. I’m sure there are many of you reading this thinking “Yep me too!” In this column, I’m going to explore some of the causes of poor sleep, why sleep is so important and what you can do to help the situation. One of the many things we need to consider when looking at this scenario is that what we do in the day can affect our sleep pattern, a highly stressful day can make our bodies produce too much cor tisol. This is a hormone usually produced early in the morning to wake us up, however if you are very stressed you may continue to produce cortisol as the day goes on and consequently, this can affect your sleep pattern. On the other side of the coin, anxiety and emotional problems etc can be due to or the cause of abnormal sleep patterns. If we look back to a time before man invented the electric light, people generally went to bed with nightfall and got up with the rising of the sun, but as the world has progressed and the electric light and all the stimulus around us has come into play the natural sleep pattern has been altered. Another problem today which can effect sleep is that a lot of us are not grounded, this may sound a bit strange, but for those that are interested there are books on earthing available and I happen to

know of individuals that have found the techniques remarkably successful. There are several stages of sleep such as Beta which is the drowsy stage, then Theta, which is when the hear t rate slows and the body temperature drops, this is the point when the body prepares to enter deep sleep, Delta is the deep sleep stage and is generally when the body makes repairs to aid physical and mental regeneration. It is when the body recovers from the day, for example as we go through a busy day our brains heat up and while we sleep the brain cools down. Sleep walking and sleep talking usually occur in the Delta state and we tend to go through Delta sleep in the early part of the night, so if you go to bed at 10 o’clock, from 10pm till 2am is when you would go into the deep sleep stage, a lot of people don’t go down to Delta sleep and they tend to age faster. REM sleep is the last cycle of sleep and it is when most of your dreaming occurs, rapid eye movement, along with twitches in the muscles of the face and the extremities are all normal signs of REM sleep patterns. It’s when bed wetting occurs, the dreams are usually vivid, visual and often illogical i.e. nightmares often occur in REM sleep. For an average good night’s sleep an adult person should have 7 hours sleep, however as we get older the sleep patterns change and we tend to have less Delta sleep so our tissues don’t recover as well, that’s why young people recover faster. Remember heal-

www.innerself.com.au ing occurs when you are asleep, and by the way, dozing isn’t sleeping. What can you do to help? Meditation tapes can really help reduce stress levels and stop the mind from racing. Learning to meditate can be life changing and if you suffer with a sleep disorder, you may even find it very beneficial to join a meditation group and learn techniques that really suit you. Tai Chi and Chi Kung are traditional Chinese techniques or exercises that can assist in healing and can help relax and centre the body, which in turn can help you sleep better. Try not to go to bed hungry, because the body needs the fuel to sleep and hunger can wake you up during the night. It is impor tant to ensure that you sleep in a darkened, noisefree environment and that the bed is comfortable. Go to bed when you are sleepy and try to use the bedroom only for sleep, not for working, eating, or watching television, also try not to nap during the day, work on computers late of the evening and not to exercise right before bedtime, it’s much better to exercise in the day up till early evening. There are many beautiful herbs which can be really helpful for better sleep patterns and may be taken throughout the day to prevent a buildup of tension or mental excitability which might result in insomnia. An additional dose is subsequently recommended around one hour before bed. Key herbs include Ziyphus, Hops, Passion flower, Kava, Californian Poppy and Chamomile. Valerian is also effective for some and works best with continuous use for at least two weeks. Also melatonin which is a neuro-hormone, may alleviate delayed sleep, individuals may fall asleep earlier and awaken feeling less drowsy and more refreshed when using supplemental Melatonin. I for one have found it life changing however because we are so unique remember what works for one doesn’t necessarily work for everyone. Lastly playing soothing music and burning essential oils such as lavender around the home can help create a relaxing environment to help you wind down from a stressful day. If you do have a problem it would be a good idea to see a qualified practitioner so they can look at the whole picture and treat you as the unique being that you truly are.

Pyroluria

Do you have emotional or behavioural disorders? It may be more biochemical than you realize.… If you are dealing with depression and anxiety, along with issues such as, pessimism, emotional lability, impulsivity, poor stress tolerance, easily fatigued, then it may be more biochemical than you realize - one possible cause may be pyroluria.

Pyroluria?

Pyroluria also known as the “mauve factor” is a chemical imbalance which involves an abnormality in hemoglobin synthesis, the blood’s oxygen carrying facility. People with pyroluria produce excessive amounts of these “pyrole compounds” which show up in higher than normal concentrations in the urine. “Pyroles” have an affinity to vitmain B6 (pyridoxine) and zinc, binding and therefore depleting the body of these nutrients. Omega 6’s (arachodonic acid) can also be effected.

Symptoms

Some of the displayable signs and symptoms include: poor short term memory, low stress tolerance, anxiety, panic, fear, hyperactivity, pessimism, impulsivity, perceptual disorganization, explosive anger. Physical signs may include: pale skin, inability to tan, stretch marks, white spots on nails, premature greying, dry skin, light intolerance, sound intolerance, odour intolerance, poor dream recall, delayed puberty, easily fatigued, motion sickness and nausea particularly in the morning.

Pyroluria - the best kept secret!

Discovered in the 50’s by two researchers, in the urine of a large proportion of patients in a psychiatric hospital. It is considered to be a genetic condition which becomes more apparent under stress. Its prevalence is quite high for a condition that for many, is unheard of! The following statistics where obtained by the publication “Discerning the Mauve Factor- Par t 1” by McGinnis et al, showing the association of elevated

urinary “pyroles” in cer tain subgroups: schizophrenia (acute) 5980%, schizophrenia (chronic) 4050%, acute intermittent porphyria 100%, down sydnrome 71%, manic depression 47-50%, depression 1246%, criminal behaviour adults 71%, criminal behaviour youths (violent offenders) 33%, autism 46-48%, epilepsy 44%, learning disability/ ADHD 40-47%, neuroses 20%, alcoholism 20 - 84%. Interestingly it is mainly considered and tested for by integrative doctors and some naturopaths, this may be due to its specific nutritional treatment regime.

Testing for Pyroluria

Urinary pyrole levels are established by chemical analysis through an appropriate lab. The results can be mild, moderate or severe. It is necessary to avoid vitamin and mineral supplementation for at least 2 days prior to being tested.

Effected Nutrients & Treatment

The effects of pyroluria are far reaching, as the symptoms show, this is due to the impact, notably on vitmain B6 and zinc. Vitamin B6 is a coenzyme in the biosynthesis of the neurotransmitters; GABA, dopamine and serotonin- not too surprisingly these are our feel good “chemicals” responsible in allowing us to feel pleasure, a sense of wellbeing, calming and generally effect our MOOD! Zinc is a trace mineral, in a reveiw by Williams and Wilkins, the most recent published work on the role of zinc in the developement and treatment of mood disorders, reveals that not only does zinc deficiency induce depression and anxiety like behaviours, it also improves the efficacy of antidepressant drugs and plays a particular role in treatment resistant patients. Not surprising zinc has a role in the regulation of neurotransmitter systems. Other useful nutrients considered in treatment include, omega-6 fatty acids, vitamin C, E, magnanese, pantothenic acid, niacinamide and cysteine.

our goal is to awaken one community at a time . . . Treatment on the surface, seems quite simple, but supplementing with the above nutrients is required in the correct forms, vitamin B6 needs to be given for at least part of the dose in its activated form to have the required effect. Doses are based upon the severity of the condition (as per above testing) and also in relation to stress. Stressful conditions can influence the urinary levels of pyroles and this may result in the need to titrate treatment, a necessary skill, guided by the practitioner.

Beyond Pyroluria

Biochemical causes of emotional and behavioural disorders are far more common than people seem aware, and pyroluria is not the only cause. For those who feel like something just isn’t right it may be worth employing a practitioner who can

target treatment by exploring the roles that any one of the following may be playing; inflammation, hypoglycaemia, methylation, genetic issues with folate (MTHFR), adrenal issues, heavy metals, oestrogens, neurotransmitter issues and digestive issues. Measuring cer tain mar ker s through various testing methods is available and becomes valuable in narrowing down the cause.

HORMONES Your Body’s Own Compass I am cer tain that at least once you visited your medical practitioner with a form of hormonal concern: premenstrual tension (PMT), heavy and/or painful periods, endometriosis, polycystic ovaries (PCOS), ovarian and/or breast cysts, weight gain amongst others. Medicine’s only pharmaceutical remedies on offer are the different kinds of Oral Contraceptive Pill (OCP) or Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT). If the OCP is refused you have some alternatives: put up with the hormonal problem, wait for the ovaries to shrivel up and stop causing discomfort and undergo a radical or partial hysterectomy. It is precisely due to the former hormonal imbalance that women can’t take up without significant side effects neither the OCP nor the HRT. For some women of reproductive age without kids, hysterectomy is not an option either. So, what is the main driver of women’s hormonal imbalances and, are there are any alternatives to provide support and relief to women where every other treatment has seemingly failed? All the above mentioned symptoms relate to an imbalance in Estrogen and Progesterone ratios. In some circumstances, testosterone imbalances also play a role in

women’s hormonal imbalances. “Is it high or low estrogen the problem?”most of my female patients ask. We cannot isolate the hormones as they work in pairs. “I cannot tell you how you look in those new pants if you only put one leg in, can I? I need both legs in those jeans to tell you how they fit.”- I answer. Hormones work in the same way. Therefore, estrogen and progesterone need to co-exist in a specific ratio in our body. If estrogen is not correctly balanced to progesterone levels there simply is an imbalance in the female sex hormones causing homeostatic disturbances. Fur thermore, blood testing of the most commonly found estrogen (estradiol) in the blood only allows for partial understanding of such ratio with progesterone. There are three different types of estrogen (E1, E2, E3) in our body which later undergo breakdown into other 6 different types of estrogens. It appears that current practices are not seeing “the forest from the tree”, not testing at least for the type of estrogen (E2) available in ratio with progesterone and testosterone levels. To add further to the picture, testosterone can undergo a process known as aromatisation whereby it conver ts to estrogen. This aromatisation is

the same process that brings along prostate enlargement in men. Most of these hormone ratio imbalances can be due to Estrogen dominance.

Estrogen dominance

Some of the signs and symptoms patient’s present with include: •Weight gain, particularly around the hips, thighs and buttocks •Fluid retention generalized around the body •Fatigue •Hot flashes, night sweats, coldness •Irregular periods (heavy, light, shorter or longer cycles) •Migraines, preceding or post cycle •Polycystic ovaries (PCOS) •Premenstrual syndrome (PMS) and premenstrual tension (PMT) •Problems with memory (”Foggy brain”) •Heavy periods that tend to clot •Mood changes: anxiety, depression, irritability, teary, angry •Heart palpitations that tend to happen in bed •Skin problems •Dry skin •Loss or decreased sexual desire •Vaginal dryness •Recurrent “urinary tract infec-

www.innerself.com.au tions” •Insomnia •Joint pain, especially knee pain •Back pain, par ticularly lower back •Painful ovulation that is accompanied by bloating and discomfort •Infertility, inability to conceive or to carry along a full-term pregnancy It is important to note that some GP’s will prescribe progesterone troches or cream as an attempt to reduce the estrogen dominance symptoms of their patients. Some others prescribe testosterone blockers to prevent the aromatisation of the male hormone into estrogen, whilst others prescribe testosterone in an attempt to offer relief to the patient. None of these medical approaches offer the patient a reason for their affliction or a long-term answer to their problems. Estrogen dominance can derive from the person’s own hormonal imbalance: problem eliminating estrogens through major eliminatory channels namely liver, kidney and bowel; insulin resistance; toxicity with copper; low thyroid levels/ hypothyroidism; problems in the pituitary gland are just a few internal homeostatic imbalances contributing to the problem. Non-inclusive external sources of synthetic estrogens can include: diet rich in sugars and carbohydrates; use of plastic tupperware, re-heating food in allegedly safe “microwave safe” containers (microwave-safe not consumer’s safe), use of cling wrap; eating non-organic food that has been sprayed with hormonedisrupting chemicals; long-term use of any contraception method available; drinking rain water that has been exposed to farm sprays as well as aerial spraying; drinking unfiltered tap water carrying farming and household chemicals; consumption of soy-based products. We have successfully treated women of all ages and backgrounds presenting to us with significant hormonal imbalances. We incorporate comprehensive methods of assessments ranging from blood tests, to saliva and urine hormonal tests. However, most important of all, we listen to our patients’ needs. We believe nothing beats the interaction and questionnaires of the consultation. Our understanding and experience helps us look at the patient as a whole. Our hormones work synergistically with one another therefore by looking at them in unison we are able to help the patient permanently.

Do You Have Oestrogen Dominance? Hormonal health and balance for females is essential for healthy female reproductive function. Oestrogen is a hor mone produced primarily by the ovaries but also in small amounts by the liver, adrenals, breasts and fat cells. Oestrogen exists in 3 different forms E1, E2 and E3, with each different form playing a different role throughout a female’s life. The main role of oestrogen is to influence the development and maintenance of secondary

female sex characteristics, regulate menstruation, maintain pregnancy, suppor t bone strength, aid in the maintenance of blood vessel health, metabolic rate, bowel motility and fluid balance. Oestrogen must be in balance with another hormone called progesterone for optimal hormonal health. However, too much oestrogen in relation to progesterone is called oestrogen dominance or oestrogen excess which is becoming increasingly common.

www.innerself.com.au pathways to clear oestrogen. Foods high in Indole-3- Carbinol include brussel sprouts, cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli and broccoli sprouts. Foods rich in methionine a amino acid needed for detoxification pathways found in beans, legumes, onion and garlic also assists in the breakdown of oestrogen. A fibre rich diet also aids in the clearance of oestrogen from the body. The best dietary sources of fibre are rice or oat bran, seasame seeds, sunflower seeds, pecans, hazelnuts, almonds, pistachios, sun dried tomatoes, navy beans, white beans, yellow beans, kidney beans and lima beans, Other good sources include peas, dried fruit, broccoli, spinach, kale, beet greens, pears, plums and apples. The best, most reliable, cost effective way to get your hormones tested is via salivary hormone tests. Saliva hormone tests are considered to be the gold standard for hormone analysis by the World Health Organisation (WHO). They measure the free, biologically active form of your hormones, thus providing an extremely accurate picture of what your body is currently doing. If you are concerned about your oestrogen levels affecting your health and quality of life make a time to see a Naturopath who can use accurate Saliva Testing to determine what your oestrogen levels and other hormones are doing. Once these are assed Natural Therapies such as Herbal Medicine and Nutritional Therapy can aid in re-balancing your body’s hormones and reducing your oestrogen levels along with a thorough diet plan. Hormone Saliva Testing is available from Tessa Roberts N.D. at Romeo’s Organic Wholefoods Naturopathic Clinic.

What’s Up with this Weight Gain?

BY SHERILL SELLMAN, ND

Like so many women, the mid-life middle spread sneaked up on me. I had just emerged from 2 years of

major life changes with its accompanying stress. Well, really, to be totally honest, MAJOR STRESS! However, I

was not at all prepared for my doctor’s rather blunt comment. Rather tactlessly he said. “ What has happened to you? You look like you are six months pregnant.” I knew I had been carrying some extra cortisol-induced weight around the midriff, but I guess denial is a really wonderful thing. I really didn’t think I was that overweight. Certainly not enough to look six months pregnant! But, stepping onto his scale really lifted the veil of illusion from my eyes! Whether we like it or not, the older we get the less efficient our body becomes at detoxifying, maintaining a dynamic metabolism, balancing hormones and managing blood sugar. All of these issues can add to ever upward-creeping weight. Medicatoins also play their part. HRT, the Pill, anti-depressants, statin drugs, and blood pressure medications all list weight gain as side effects! I thought I was doing everything right but my weight loss was stalled. I couldn’t get it to budge. My waist had disappeared and my clothes were

Signs and symptoms of oestrogen dominance include breast tenderness, mood swings, fluid retention, weight gain, headaches, menstrual cramping, irregular menstrual cycle, weight gain, hair loss, depression, mood swings, fatigue, thyroid dysfunction, heavy prolonged periods with clotting, decreased libido, endometriosis, fibrocystic breasts, polycystic ovaries, infertility and anxiety. There are a number of reasons as to why oestrogen excess is so prevalent today. These include females having more periods per lifetime than in the past due to beginning menstruation earlier, bearing fewer children, lactating less and having an older average age of menopause. Other factors that contribute to this excess of oestrogen are xenoestrogens – foreign substances (usually a chemical) that biologically function like oestrogen in the body but are not identical to the physiologically normal hormone. Xenoestrogens are found in the following: non-organic meats, commercial non-organic dairy products, laundry detergents and household cleaners, the oral contraceptive pill and hormone replacement therapy, soy products, flaxseeds, shampoo and conditioner, cosmetics, weed killers, air fresheners, sunscreens and fly sprays. We also come into contact with xenoestrogens through drinking from plastic cups, re-heating and eating food from plastic containers, eating foods sprayed with insecticides and pesticides, eating tinned foods and wrapping our food in plastic cling wrap. Due to xenoestrogens being impossible to avoid altogether, optimizing metabolism and clearance of oestrogens through the liver and digestive tract should be one’s focus. This can be done primarily through diet by consuming foods high in Indole-3-Carbionol a substance which suppor ts one of the detoxification

Getting to the Real Cause for Stacking on Those Kilos

The latest research reveals a new paradigm that explains the root cause behind the weight gain. The problem of obesity is to be found within the part of the brain called the hypothalamus. The main function of this master gland is homeostasis, or maintaining the body’s status quo. Ultimately the hypothalamus can control every endocrine gland in the body. It also regulates other factors such as blood pressure, body temperature, fluid, carbohydrate cravings, electrolyte balance, and body weight. It appears that our 21st-century diet and lifestyle is a serious threat to a healthy, well-functioning hypothalamus. An imbalance of the hypothalamus results in intense and constant hunger, low metabolism, and excessive and abnormal storing of fat in abnormal fat reserves known as problem, disfiguring areas in the abdomen, hips, thighs, waist and various fat pads placed around the body. Resetting a dysregulated hypothalamus gives proper instructions to release stored fat reserves in the belly, hips, thighs, etc. This occurs because by restoring proper communciation from the hypothlamaus long-term stored fat to be now availabe to be released and used as fuel. And the most amazing thing is, this unique protocol allows people to lose approximately .5 kilo a day. along with the melting of centimeters! The real bonus of this program is the benefit to the body’s metabolism. When the program is followed precisely, you are able to regain a healthy metabolism by actually increasing your basal metabolic rate.

A Skeptic’s Experience

I was introduced to a unique program based upon a homeopathic formula that was proven to re-establish communicaotion with the hypothalamus. To say I was skeptical would be an understatement. But, I was assured that the homeopathic drops were absolutely safe and effective. So I embarked on this experiemnt. To my amazement, I would step on the scale each morning and literally discover that a half a kilo of my fat had literally dematerialized from my body overnight. But it wasn’t only about the kilos. It was also the centimeters. My old clothes were literally falling off me. And best of all, I wasn’t hungry and my energy was off the charts. And before my very eyes I saw my body transforming. The midriff disappeared and my hips and thighs slimmed down. An accomplishment I never thought possible in this lifetime! And wonder of wonders - my muscle tone actually improved. There was no sagginess, hunger or fatigue During this 23-day protocol, I lost 7 kilos and 2 dress sizes! I then followed this round with a second go. I transformed a bulging 76-kilo, size 12 body into 63 kilos of svelte, easily donning a pair of size 6 jeans! The most impressive par t of this amazing program was that, my weight has not varied more than a .5 kilos… and that was four years ago.

our goal is to awaken one community at a time . . .

Beyond the kilos and centimeters, there are tremendous health gains i.e. chronic pain disappears, blood sugar and blood pressure level normalize, cholesterol improves, diabetes heals, sleep and mood improve, energy increases, skin tone rejuvenates, hormones get balanced and food cravings disappear. It’s not often that a weight loss program can deliver such fabulous results. In fact, there is no other weight loss program that I know of that can safely release long-term fat reserves or reset the hypothalamus for ongoing weight maintenance. I have no doubt that in our dietcrazed world of people desperately seeking solutions, this truly is the ultimate program for fat loss and body-resculpting.

A Proven and Superior Program for Fat Loss, Body Rescupltimg and Rejuvenation In a world desperately needing a weight loss solution, a new paradigm has arrived that tackles the very cause of the obesity epidemic. The source of the body’s tendency to store fat resides in a part of the brain, which oversees fat burning called the hypothalamus. What lies behind the inability to burn stored fat reserves is the impaired communication from the master gland, the hypothalamus. This protocol restores proper brain communication.

Konjac Root Japan’s best-kept secRet for lasting weight loss, health and wellbeing.

Konjac or Shirataki Konnyaku is a traditional Japanese health food made from a herbaceous perennial plant called “Amorphophallus Konjac”(K. Koch), water and calcium hydroxide or oxide calcium extracted from eggshells. The Konnyaku is cultivated for food only in Japan, but wild forms grow naturally in Southeast Asia and China. Japanese and Chinese have been eating Konnyaku as a health food, for over 2000 years. In the beginning, it was a precious gift shared between monks in the form of medicine and cakes. Konjac is quite popular in Japan; almost every family eats Konjac in every meal. It is still the most favored food in Japan. The Ministry of Health in Japan implemented that konjac food should be used in the cafeteria for all schools. Right now, Japan is the largest consumer of konjac foods. The main ingredient of the Konjac root is glucomannan fibre. Glucoman-

The glucomannan fibre has also been scientifically proven to lower cholesterol and high blood sugar which can prevent heart disease and diabetes. It has also been shown to aid the digestive system, assist with elimination, and prevent constipation and diverticulosis.

One benefit of the ability to regulate blood sugar levels is seen in Type 2 Diabetes. Konjac Glucomannan has shown potential to reduce blood glucose, insulin and serum lipid levels after meals, an effect that seems to be enhanced by glucomannan’s relatively high viscosity compared to other soluble fibres.

Weight Loss

The efficacy of konjac for weight loss relies on its ability to absorb up to twenty times its own weight in water. The glucomannan expands after ingestion, and this tends to promote a feeling of fullness as it travels through the digestive tract. Several glucomannan weight loss studies have produced impressive results. A 16 week study repor ted that glucomannan supplements can aid weight loss. At the end of the study, the glucomannan fibre group lost 4.52 kg compared to .79 kg on average in the control group. The

tryglycerides were reduced by 26%. This may be due to bile binding effects, or the fact that glucomannan fibre slows the absorption of these lipids in the intestines.

Why is Information important?

BY ANTHONY CRAIG

Healers have been using energy for quite a few years now. There is widespread acknowledgment that the universe, and that includes us humans, is made up from energy. But what gives shape to the energy? What creates the different cells with different functions in our body? What determines whether a par ticle of matter or a cell becomes a tree or a person? Science also tells us that everything contains vibrations. There is a groundswell of evidence towards the importance and effect of the vibrations we surround ourselves with and consequently, the effect they have on our health and general wellbeing. Energy (and its vibrations) tends to have limited form and by itself exists in a state of chaos rather than organisation. What is it that provides the ‘grand design’ and the perfection? Information. Since the mid 60’s, maybe earlier, scientists have been telling us that DNA can be affected by light and by sound, that is, the information contained within can alter the basic energies. The impor tance of information as a necessary part of affecting energy cannot be understated. Of course, the information needs to be coming from the highest source or intelligence in its purest unadulterated form. Many teachings express the knowingness that thoughts create our reality. Is this really an expression that energy plus information equals our reality? In the healing field we are seeing that when we move beyond just energy healing and bring in the second part of the equation – information- without dilution or effect from our human perspective, we are seeing a new reality – a new level of healing. One that challenges our old beliefs with the results as it brings life changes to previously challenging issues – healing beyond belief. Light and sound both carry information that can affect the energy and consequently the systems within us. We must remember that they are different frequencies and as one can never be the other, we do need both. When we use the information contained within superluminal light which is linked to the highest intelligence possible and mix it with combinations of very specific sound frequencies and tunings based within the uni-

verse and nature, we can recreate a contemporary sacred space that resonates and allows the healing information to come through the axiatonal lines connecting to the multidimensional aspects of space. The science of Cymatics supports the effects of different sound frequencies and the patterns or sacred geometries that are created, especially as we get into the higher harmonics based on cer tain core base frequencies. Some of these upper frequencies can only be created when we use speakers that shift the air. Headphones cannot create these same upper harmonics. The higher the frequencies, the more complex the sacred geometries that are created. There are many studies now showing the effect of both sound and superluminal Light on human, animal and plant DNA strands and cell structures. The new levels of healing are moving beyond just energy and using the information (mathematical and chemical codings) that we now can connect to. Discerning what we connect to is of great importance. There are ways to ensure a connection to higher intelligence rather than just with any intelligence. Many bands of frequencies of information exist in the void and not all have the best intentions. Forms of healing that just connect without discernment become more hit and miss in the results that could be obtained. Information brings order and function to create the whole – at the highest level a perfect whole. Advances in science have shown that everything is made up of energy and that subatomic particles are all interconnected which supports the concept of oneness that many religions and spiritual practices have long advocated. As a healing practitioner it is important to include this and the associated concepts of universal love/compassion in our practice When SPECTRA Healing came through in 2011, the impor tance of facilitating the highest forms of information through both light and sound were explained, along with the specific sounds that were to be used to connect through to Divine Intelligence and our Lightbody. Special music was developed

to incorporate this new knowledge and to create both a sacred space and inter-dimensional connections. Detailed information was also given on how to ensure the best connection to Divine Intelligence through Superluminal Light - aspects which included the importance of a certain brainstate, Universal Love and Compassion through a sense that we are all part of the same One, Gratitude, recognising our source and bringing through the Light. SPECTRA Healing allows us to facilitate the highest level of healing for ourselves and others in the most simple of ways without the need to diagnose or direct the healing process.

Fight Fatigue This Winter

BY LISA FABREY

How do you feel about winter? In the past, I’ve always dreaded the season. Dark, chilly mornings made me want to hide under the quilt until springtime. But as I learn about the Five Elements, I am coming to accept the different phases of the year, and welcome the opportunity to pay attention to the par ticular needs of my body, mind and spirit during each season. The Five Elements – Water, Wood, Fire, Ear th and Metal –relate to a season of the year, and winter is Water. We humans contain aspects of all five elements and each one represents an essential layer of our being. The Water Element governs the organs of the kidney and bladder. The kidney is the storehouse for Qi, vital energy, and we need to take care of this energy to function well in life. It’s impossible for us continually to run on full charge. We need periods of rest in order to gather our energy and dream up new ideas. If we deny this impulse, we can end up drained, unable to recover from fatigue. In nature, winter is a time of rest and renewal. Quiet and still, seeds rest in the earth, gathering potential. For us, winter is an ideal time for reflection and stillness, and for conserving energy. We can support our Water Element by listening to nature’s advice, surrendering to winter’s call to rest and nurture ourselves on all levels: physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually. This may mean letting go of the need to achieve so much during this season. Easier said than done, you say, but I can’t just stop going to work, feeding the kids, etc. Winter provides us with the natural answer – darkness. When it is dark and cold outside, our instinct is to withdraw into our nests. Instead of resisting this impulse, embrace it. Come home to roost earlier, put a pot of soup on, take a bath, read, meditate, draw or write in your journal, tell stories, get an early night. The kids will enjoy all these activities too! Perhaps it just takes a little will (known as zhi, the spirit of water) to turn off the television, step away from the computer and nourish your soul instead.

In winter, we can base our diet around foods that support the water element. • Warming foods such as soups and stews. • Foods that are dark in colour: purple, blue or black. • Foods that grow in winter, or have been picked in Autumn and preserved for winter. • Bitter flavours such as coffee, walnuts, dark green leafy vegetables. • Salty flavour s in moderate amounts: unrefined sea salt or Himalayan salt, tamari, shoyu, miso. • Warming spices such as cinnamon, ginger, cloves, fennel, anise, black pepper and cardamom, small amounts of chilli. • Favoured cooking methods are to steam, boil, bake, roast, stew or slow-cook. • Drink room temperature or warm water and herbal teas such as ginger or cinnamon to warm the body. We can also suppor t our Water Element with gentle physical activity, such as yoga or Wu Tao Dance. The Wu Tao Water Dance is a beautifully flowing floor-based dance. Stretching and activating the kidney and bladder meridans, the dance begins with closed, self-nur turing movements gradually opening up to sweeping expansive gestures, mirroring the journey from fear to trust that needs to take place to create balance in our Water Element. This winter I’m feeling more optimistic about embracing the opportunities the season offers. I’ve got a big pile of wood in, and look forward to a season of hot baths, warm soups, good books and plenty of time for stillness and reflection. See you in Spring! Lisa Fabry teaches Wu Tao Dance and Yoga classes and workshops. If youare interested in learning more about the Water Element and Wu Tao Dance, she is co-hosting a one-day workshop in June with John Kirkwood, Five Elements Teacher. See advert below for details.

Practical Spirituality how to be All-In your life

BY DR ANDREW HORWOOD

BY SUSANNE MARIE

Have you ever wondered what the point of spirituality REALLY is? Is it a cushy belief system that makes people feel better about their miserable lives, hoping that something better will happen sometime later? Is it a means to motivate ourselves to try harder to improve ourselves – because without that motivation, we might degenerate into a wayward life? Is it a means of maintaining social order so that people know their place in society? Or is there more to spirituality? I believe there’s no point to spirituality unless it translates into a greater experience of Life for people. And the best experience is one in which you are fully engaged, All In, in your life. A friend said “what passes for reality is the nightmare world” – a world which focuses on what’s wrong rather than what’s right; where natural rhythms are ignored in preference to speed; where knowledge is venerated over wisdom and love frequently takes a back seat in the work place and home.

I have taken time out to reflect on what is a typical week in my life. I feel privileged and honoured to be doing what I do every day. Each day I wonder what shared joys or sorrows will be part of my day. My youngest client at the moment is less than two years old with some major health issues. How delightful when we see progress. The gentle loving work with Thetahealing® has certainly been helping this beautiful child. I also feel great joy when I see the results after working with an older child or teenager. In the past week I worked with a teenager experiencing difficulties with school and with life in general. As with others in a similar position, he felt that everything in his life was going badly and it was all too hard. He felt picked on, confused and had low self esteem which was affecting his ability to perform well in the classroom. Typically (and this teenager was a good example) they enter with their head down and eyes lowered and will not look directly at me. Their shoulders are slumped and their voice is low and lacking in energy and their attitude is negative. It is a pleasure when they leave after their first session, to see them with a smile on their face, shoulders back, looking me in the eye and with a new and better attitude to life. This was certainly the case with the young man in question. Relationship difficulties and challenges are another common theme and again I had a client reflecting this in the past week. There are many people who feel that they do not know where to turn, what to do next or how to improve their relationship. Or, indeed have the courage and strength to leave a particularly difficult or abusive relationship. One example was a lady who, after one session, had the courage to call the police and follow through the very next time her husband became violent. She is now safely removed from that terrifying situation and is moving on happily with her life and career. It may be someone who has problems with their relationships with family or friends so we look for common themes in behaviours and beliefs and identify the beliefs that are attracting the situation to them. Many who come to me for a consultation have physical challenges in some part of their body. Some just know they are searching for something and want to know more about where to go in their spiritual life. They may also be holding on to a fear that if they follow their true path something bad may happen. I never know who is going to walk through the door and what they may want help with!

How can you be All In in your life?

It starts with a deep knowing that creation has been occurring for millennia on this planet and follows a predictable pattern. There’s a process, powered by the only creative energy of the Universe – Love. We are made of that Love energy – it’s our core essence. If you forget that this is the truth of you, doubt can creep in. With Love flowing, you can remember you were born to create. Think back to when you felt most fulfilled in your life. I bet you were creating in some way – making something, helping someone, doing something that stretched you. You are born to create. How? The Divine design is simple to follow: • Inspiration from the Divine, Source. Something new is born within your awareness; a seed is planted • We are the ones to tend the seed and let it grow. We do this using our intelligence – what does the seed need to flourish? Nourishing and protecting the seed and allowing it to grow at its own rate are vital. • Once fully grown, the Divine inspiration is now plain for all to see – its manifestation has occurred. A new creation or a new relationship, for instance. Writing this article has followed this process. As you remember you are made of Love and follow the design by which Love manifests, you allow Love to live your life. This is Practical Spirituality. It’s being All In in your life. With this way of living comes deep fulfilment, knowing you’re living the life you were created to live. It’s for such remembrance and encouragement that Riverdell exists. There’s nothing more important in your life. Dr Andrew Horwood, GP and Program Director Riverdell Spiritual Centre. Visit www.riverdell.org.au

In the past week a client who first saw me many years ago was visiting from interstate, where his current career has now taken him and he made an appointment to see me. Years ago, this person had been stuck doing a job – albeit a good and responsible one. He was an instructor, teaching others to do what was really his own heart’s desire. He had skills honed to such a high degree that he was a brilliant instructor and saw those he instructed go on to great success. But he had not had the courage, self esteem and confidence in his own abilities to take his own career to the next level. He reminded me this week that, without the work we did 5-7 years ago, he would not be living the amazing and wonderful dream and doing what he truly wanted to do, as he now is. How we feel about ourselves and what our beliefs are, can be huge factors in enabling us to move forward in life. In the course of a week, I see people who fit into to all of the above categories and many more. The wonderful thing about that is, that each and every day is a new and wonderful challenge. Sometimes people feel they have to put up with the way they are treated by those around them no matter what. However when they are assisted in addressing their beliefs and belief systems, they can quickly move forward. With each person I work with individually, I look at their belief systems and make changes on a deep level. We also identify and clear any negative energies around them and how to keep their energies separate from those of people around them, how to be clear of wayward spirits, how to feel loved and protected always and many other techniques to help them on their way. And so at the end of such a week I can reflect on how many people are now beginning to forge a better life for themselves.

SEEING THINGS IN A NEW LIGHT Samassati Light Therapy, like all complementary therapies, stimulates the body’s natural ability to heal. It is just one method of applying light therapeutically. It works on balancing our energy systems to promote health and well-being on all levels. The benefits of light have been known and utilized since the beginning of time. Man has always been aware of the physical and spiritual benefits. Historically, the ancient Egyptians, Greeks and Romans understood the medical use of light and today scientific evidence suppor ts much of this intuitive knowledge. Our cells communicate with light (biophotons) and our bodies respond to the information received from the application of light. Using light with intention can give the body the information it needs to return to its natural balanced and healthy state. A holistic and preventative treatment, Samassati Light Therapy fo-

cusses on unblocking and balancing the energy systems such as chakras, meridians, acupuncture points and aura, allowing energy to flow freely. Surrendering to the Light, may bring to the surface the issues that we need to look at in order to heal. “By shining light on the subject” we are invited to “see things in a new light”. “Samassati Colorlight treatments embrace the biology of light, the physics of color, the science of light therapy, and the something more: the quality of awakening the resources inside us all” Nishant Matthews After a short consultation the client relaxes on the therapy table, fully clothed (it is recommended to wear light coloured clothing). Light is applied with a torch and coloured lenses. It is a relaxing and non-invasive treatment. Samassati Light Therapy is effective in balancing all systems. However, it can be especially useful for

restoring energy levels after illness, improving immune system function, clearing toxins, supporting those with Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, insomnia, hormonal imbalances, pain, skin disorders and anxiety and stress. A Sensora, which is a light modulation system may also be used to support the client. Light, in difference sequences, is reflected off a screen into client’s eyes, thus affecting the hypothalamus, pituitary and pineal glands. This is an amazingly uplifting experience for clients as they surrender to the joy of colour and light! Georgina Halliday has been working as a Complementary Therapist now for over 20 years. She is a qualified Samassati Light Therapist who incorporates other energy healing techniques such as Reiki, Quantum Touch and Aromatherapy.

‘Save Yourself’ Every ay with EFT Tapping

While you’re driving, have you ever stopped at traffic lights – and noticed another driver tapping on his or her face and upper body? These days it happens. What is going on? Maybe that driver is in the grip of road rage, or just had a fight with a par tner, or is mad at the boss. That person is using a fast self-help acupressure technique that has been proven in many scientific studies to dramatically lower stress. Tapping, he or she is in the process of becoming calm and in control – without any drugs. The technique is EFT tapping (Emotional Freedom Techniques). To use it, you tap on key release points on your face, body or fingers while you briefly focus on a specific problem. Emotional stress is a killer when it builds up, according to plenty of medical evidence. But how can we save ourselves from stress in these stressful times? Do you feel angry whenever you think of someone or something? Or do you feel fearful, sad, revengeful, and so on – and think that you can’t do anything about how you feel? Well, try EFT tapping. Without tapping, after you’ve calmed down, stress effects are still in your body fostering ailments such as high blood

pressure and worse. You can literally let these effects go permanently by tapping for yourself, after very little tuition. Did you know that your every thought creates chemicals in your body and even influences your genes, your DNA? So does every feeling. Some biochemicals are good for you, some are definitely not. The new science of epigenetics shows that what we are habitually thinking and feeling is intimately connected with how our body cells and systems operate. Can you control this physiological process? What is it doingto you long-term? Millions of people around the world are sharing the good news by trying EFT tapping, to calm or even eliminate just about any kind of personal problem or difficulty. This includes resolving painful situations from anywhere in your life -- although for complex problems or trauma you would need to consult an EFT coach. How does EFT work? 1. It calms the body’s meridian energy system circuits, which are continually disrupted by stress. 2. Har vard Medical School research has discovered that acupressure soothes the amygdala part of the brain which is central to your fight-flight-freeze response to dan-

ger. Unlike animals, humans are constantly turning on this high-pressure physical response by just thinking about danger – that is, by worrying, feeling anxious. 3. One hour of EFT tapping with an experienced tapper lowers your stress hormone, cortisol, by a whopping 25%. Once you know the basics of EFT, you can save yourself the buildup of stress in body and mind by tapping on yourself as often as you wish. According to leading cell biologist Dr. Bruce Lipton, 95% of illness is stress-related. Why not try saving yourself, and feeling better?

YourPETS WITH AMANDA DE WARREN

Shimla, Pushkar & Lama

The following reading for the editors of Innerself’s three cats Shimla, Pushkar and Lama, took place via telephone link.

The moment I opened the lines of communication, Leo’s grandfather on his father’s side – who he’d never met – came through. He tells me that he passed very young and very suddenly. I smelt fire and I felt water in the lungs as in drowning and then I heard gunfire. Leo said that his grandfather died on a battleship that was bombed in 1932. He is a lovely man and tells Leo that he loves animals and has Leo’s that have since passed over. He shows me three cats that have passed over – one being a very long time ago that was hit by a car. The other two lived together and knew each other very well. He tells Leo that his 180-degree turn in career was the right move and that the magazine will do very well. The first of Leo’s three living cats comes through (Shimla) and says, “I am the boss and I run this household.” He is very authoritative and very suave and tells me he won’t give up his reign to anyone. Shimla tells me that he has seen a ginger cat on

his fence line and wants me to warn the cat that “if you come into my yard I will ‘belt you up’.” He is in very good shape and about three years old and has a very strong, graceful, elegant, powerful energy about him. Leo confirms that this is definitely him and I have him to a T. He also tells me that he does not like being picked up and if he does it is on his terms, and he is rather fussy with his food at times. He loves being a house cat but does go outside to a protected area but is usually not that bothered to go outside all that much. Pushka tells me that he is the mean one and Leo laughs and says he certainly is. He is mean to Lama, the other cat and will, out of nowhere, give Lama a wallop for no reason and then he will go after Shimla. Lama tells me that he used to be the boss but tends to keep to himself these days, and when Shimla and Pushka go at it then he hides in the cupboard. Pushka has started this only in the last month and will just go up and give the other two a clout. Lama is an observer and stays away from the other two most of the time. Pushka has a bit of tummy prob-

lems at times with the occasional diarrhoea but only every so often. They all thought every cat has a privileged life like theirs and were ‘shicked’ when they found out that is not the case. They thank Leo and his wife, Enza, for loving them and looking after them so well as they know they are very well looked after. Shimla and Pushka tell me that they are related and Lama tells me he is the older of the three. As a professional medium & animal communicator, about 95% of my clients are female. With this issue’s theme being ‘Women Making a Difference’, it’s timely to talk about the power of women’s intuition.Many of my female clients have found that turning to their intuition and spiritualism for guidance has given them peace with their inner self. I’ ve helped facilitate this by connecting them to their passed over loved ones or pets (dead or living). The results have been so rewarding, with many women’s lives really starting to fall into place. Men see this and think, ‘I want what she’s got’. Well, why wait?

No Second Thoughts When you pay your telephone bill you expect the phone to work, no question, no second thoughts - ditto with the electricity bill and so on. You invest your money and reap the dividends how and in whatever form it takes. Then there are those peripheries we invest in like a pair of shoes, clothes or sunglasses perhaps that we think look good on us. In all manner of ways we invest in items ‘outside’ of ourselves. We expect them to ‘work’, to be there, to serve us in whatever manner with no second thought. We invest a lot of time, energy, effort and expenditure to insure that all of our exterior needs are met, basic or otherwise, in order that we will travel well physically on our journey upon this Earth. So, in other words, we expect that if we turn on the tap, water will flow. We don’t think twice about it – we trust that it will, and it does.

by Fran Tomlin But what of investment into our ‘interiors’? How much time, effort, energy, determination, hard work let alone expenditure do we put into our ‘interior’ selves ? As we all well know, the body is the HOUSE our Spirit lives in. Yet we usually care far more for our ‘houses’ than we do our Souls – the actual ethereal ‘thing’ that makes the house a home. Our Innerself, our Soul, is largely ignored by comparison – and yet it is only this Ultimate and Omnipotent Force within us that drives the WHOLE system. The whole entire system, with all its ‘sub-bodies’ including the mind, known as a HUMAN BEING comes under the control, the jurisdiction if you will, of the SOUL. When you finally do get to leave the Ear th, you take NOTHING with you, except your Soul. No one travels in your Soul, in your psyche or your body – only you. YOU

are IT. The buck begins and ends with you. You are it. Therefore at the very least, balance is impor tant in considering giving an equal amount of time, energy, effort and even expenditure if required on that one single Omnipotent Presence within yourself who IS yourself, your Soul. There can be no greater thing than establishing authenticity within in order to truly Love and so Trust yourself. As a result, knowing this implicitly means that all you require is delivered to yourself BY yourself, no second thoughts! Like turning on a tap ... As it is below – so it is above.

tianity there is no planning there for your next life.

WITH ELISABETH JENSEN

Death is of course just a releasing of the physical body to allow the spirit to return home after our time on Ear th School. We come here to experience many things we have planned for ourselves while in The Light before incarnating. If you listen carefully to sensitive young children and ask them the right questions they will give many clues that they remember fragments of their past lives and planning for this life in The Light, but most seem about the age of five years to lose this easy recall. In the few days before death many people become quite clairvoyant and aware of loved ones waiting to take them to The Light and if they don’t have excessive fear of the process the Spirit/Consciousness leaves the

DYING TO LIVE WITHIN THE LIGHT All my life seems to have been learning about death – experiencing several cardiac arrests and life threatening illnesses myself, working as a Registered Nurse later specialising in Palliative Care and being with countless dying patients then working as a Psychic Medium giving many readings from those in Spirit. Plus I read Akashic Records and see and experience clients’ past lives and deaths and as a Hypnotherapist I have regressed many people into

Past Lives and through the death process! Finally after seeing many Souls leave the body and head toward the Light countless times I was shown how to actually go quickly right into The Light myself for healing plus how to take clients there for either healing or simply exploring what they did there between lives. Life Within The Light is an amazing and beautiful experience not unlike the Christian version of Heaven - except in Chris-

body just before the heart stops and heads off to the Entry Hall of Healing. For those dying in fear or suddenly in violent circumstances involving drugs and alcohol it’s not so smooth often at death nor for those who caused much harm to others and have a heavy Karmic burden to repay – they often need much more time plus spiritual intervention and prayers to reach the Light – but I believe most people reach there eventually.

LIFE WITHIN THE LIGHT

After being taken to a type of Healing Entry Hall for a short time to receive energy clearing and healing of the spiritual body the Spirit feels much lighter and then enters the actual Light. While only a few loved ones in Spirit are there during the death process and until this time there is then a huge celebration as Soul Mates – people you have known in many lives - arrive to greet you and welcome you home. There then seems to follow a time of solitude and intense healing and rest before you meet once more with your soul family to discuss and plan your next life on earth. In The Light are types of Libraries there too where you read about

many things plus can even borrow an iPad type device called “Your Book of Future Records” to have a look at your possible future lives. When I see people looking at these there is a button I call “Outcome of Choices” so you can see that if you make a choice to study e.g. a certain Degree at University then your life will be like this and if not it will be like that. So you plan and prepare for and discuss your next earthly life in great detail – your life is not a random event and although you don’t have conscious recall after birth of this planning it is hidden deep within your Subconscious Mind and the highest part of your soul knows your Life and Soul Plan and Purpose.

HEALING WITHIN THE LIGHT

There is a process I have been shown to take myself up through the “Tunnel of Light” into the Entry Hall then right into the Halls of Healing and Planning. I take myself there for healing or to understand situations in my life. I sometimes take clients there too for healing and they find it a very blissful and amazing experience of being in bright light and surrounded by incredible Unconditional Love. Some people like to pay a visit to

their “Wise Council Elders” to discuss their current life situation and receive their blessings to change cer tain contracts. Sometimes now when I talk with people I see them in three forms simultaneously – as they are on this earth just at present, then if I look beyond I see them still within The Light also planning, preparing and watching themselves on Earth and then if I look even further I see the highest wisest part of their Soul in the distance beyond the Light sending them Light and type of Intelligent Energy Transmission to their mind and to their spiritual guides. For very anxious and depressed people who feel lost and disconnected this process is just not happening smoothly! It’s a very joyful experience when we finally remember we are multidimensional beings, prepared for every situation in this life and guided by our Souls and Guides at all time.

SOUL TO SOUL

Is Egypt calling you? Felt a strong connection to this great land? Perhaps you’ve been there before.

Hello my name is Sue Bunnett and I have my own healing practice, Isis Blessings in Crystal Brook, gateway to the Flinders Ranges in the Mid North of South Australia. I am an Isis Mystery School Certified Practitioner and Authorised Teacher, Intuitive healer, and Remedial Massage Therapist. Having had a life-long passion and fascination with Egypt that goes back to my early childhood,I first experienced this magical and mystical country in 2007 when I accompanied Elisabeth Jensen, Principal of Isis

Mystery School, in Adelaide South Australia, on my first trip to Egypt. If I was asked to choose my best experience I would find it extremely difficult because there were so many. From the bustling and vibrant Khanel-Khalili markets to the stillness at the break of dawn, standing in the semi darkness amid the paws of the majestic Sphinx, watching the sun rise in the sky and its rays cascade down over the Great Pyramid. Or the tranquil water s of the Nile with its picturesque lush green banks or wandering the dusty tracks

amongst the many tombs in the Valley of the Kings, it’s hard to choose. Being immersed in the history and culture of this incredible country of the great pharaohs and visiting the monumental Temples, another. Imagine for a moment walking in the footsteps of the priests and priestesses, entering into the Temple of the Goddess Isis on the Island of Philae and walking into the place of daily worship; the Holy of Holies, to quietly go within and contemplate what has gone before. Whatever your belief, the energy you feel in Egypt changes you, so much that I have been back a total of three times.

Isis Blessings in conjunction with Abba Travel are excited to bring you a wonderful, enriching opportunity to experience Egypt for yourself.

with Cinzia Vuat

Q I’ve just separated from my partner after many years together and feeling a little lost. Did I do the right thing? What’s in my future, will I go back to him or not? Cathy, Prospect

A Dear Cathy your relationship is definitely over the way you’ve always known it. You will however remain good friends and be there for each other. Also great news coming soon, there is a beautiful man coming into your life, I think around November, he’s a great match for you. Tall, fair, not from Adelaide originally. You will meet him through work, your meeting is work related. Q Hi Cinzia, I am waiting to hear about my job contract being extended. I am worried about what I should do If I am unable to keep my job. Chloe, Enfield

A Stay positive! Your work contract is definitely being renewed for six months. Later in the year I can see you making some changes regarding work. Start to focus on you. Put work happiness and health first and I can see this becomes a priority for you later in the year. Q Do you see me following my dream to have a professional sporting career? Frank, Kilkenny

A This year is challenging but positive for you, lots happening in a good way for you, much happening

par ticularly after June, including overseas travel and an opportunity to play your chosen sport overseas. It’s all up to you. The chance will be there should you choose to take it.

FEEDBACK

Hi Cinzia. You told me I’d be holidaying in the USA with my family this year. I was very doubtful about this as I had to return to work after nearly two years off and we were quite simply not financially able to take the family away ... then WOW! We won an all expenses paid trip to the USA! No kidding, really, we’re all going away just like that! It has come out of the blue for us because there was no other way it was going to happen. Unbelievable, I honestly thought you had just got this one wrong ! Thanks Cinzia . Vera, Prospect As a child Cinzia suffered from selective mutism, frightened to speak, her healing search began and intensified after a near death experience resulted in awakening her uncanny psychic ability, now a psychic medium Cinzia is available to Innerself readers who have a pressing question they would like answered.

JAPAN’S BEST KEPT SECRET FOR LASTING WEIGHT LOSS, HEALTH & WELL BEING

Our noodles are made out of all natural vegetable Glucomann fiber, a water-soluble dietary fiber derived from the root of the Konjac plant, which has shown beneficial effects backed by medical researches for Type II Diabetes, Obesity, Cholesterol and Constipation! Konjac has been grown and used in Japan and China for over 2000 years as both a healthy food and a traditional medicine to excrete waste and toxic elements from the body.

ZERO CALORIES ZERO NET CARBS ZERO GLUTEN ZERO FAT ZERO SUGAR ZERO SOY ZERO WHEAT ZERO DAIRY ZERO EGGS LOW GI ALL NATURAL & VEGAN HIGH CALCIUM HIGH IN SOLUBLE FIBER JAPANESE ORGANIC CERTIFIED PACKED IN PURIFIED WATER BPA FREE PACKAGING PRECOOKED & WOK-READY

Japan Organic Certified

THE NATURAL WEIGHT LOSS DIET By replacing one meal per day, you can cut over 2,000 calories per week “The ZERO Slim & Healthy Noodles are a useful tool to promote weight loss, but any weight loss plan should include a balanced, low calorie diet, as well as regular exercise. ” Elizabeth McDonald, Weight Loss Dietician

DO YOU MISS NOODLES AND PASTA?

Enjoy noodles and pasta without guilt

“The ZERO Slim & Healthy Noodles are virtually no calories, providing a substantial amount of food with very little energy intake. They may be useful for weight management and can combine well with other ingredients. Many patients struggle to enjoy meals when I’ve reduced their pasta or rice intake. These noodles give the ‘illusion’ of the missing carbohydrates without the guilt. My suggestion is to include these noodles as an ingredient in your stir-fry’s, soups, and snacks. Mix them with loads of fresh vegetables and protein sources. You shouldn’t eat the noodles as your only source of food. Whilst the ZERO Slim & Healthy Noodles aren’t filled with nutrients, they serve as a carrier for the vitamin and mineral dense vegetables in your diet. Now you can enjoy healthy, nutritious meals without loading up on carbohydrates and calories. ZERO Slim & Healthy Noodles are made from natural glucomannan fibre making them free from gluten, dairy, soy, egg, and sugar. I can’t think of a person who couldn’t tolerate them.” Robert Reeves, Naturopath

EVEN ITALIAN CHEFS LIKE OUR ZERO NOODLES Eat all the noodles and pasta you want while cutting calories and carbs “I had tried this type of noodles before and I was always disappointed by the texture and fishy smell, so when a friend told me about a new type of Konjac noodles that actually asted good, I knew I had to investigate myself. So how do ZERO Slim & Healthy Noodles taste like? To my surprise, the noodles taste just like those bean-thread noodles that you buy in Asian grocery stores, without any fishy smell! They worked nicely with italian dishes and added to soups and they were sensational with Asian-style dishes. I’d definitely use them again. Antonio Giardina, Italian Chef
