Welcome to the Spring edition of Innerself.

Every issue of this paper takes on a distinct tone and flavour of its own, often with our writers tapping into and synchronistically discussing similar topics. We as editors don’t consciously set a theme but enjoy watching it organically reveal itself to us each issue. And it’s always such a joy watching it naturally unfold. With this issue, the collective consciousness has chosen to explore Freedom, in all its myriad form and formlessness …

The need to be free is really the ego feeling its own self-made entrapment. In truth, Freedom is.

Freedom is our own true nature. As Unconditioned Awareness, there is no movement into or away from This, this that we always are and always will be. The only movement “towards” or “away” from This, takes place in our minds. Our thoughts, our feelings, our emotions, our sensations … all simply happen, yet the pull “for” or “against” them is what creates and perpetuates the semblance of separation, the split that is the need to go towards or away from something else, something other than what is, ultimately the movement away from This … and that’s why we suffer.

Freedom is. These two words speak volumes about truth, reality and suffering. As soon as our attention falls into identification with our thoughts, we lose ourselves yet again in the egoic trance that holds 99% of humanity captive. It’s subtle … yet, it’s also very simple: Freedom is.

It’s not a constructed or created form of freedom but the actual Free Beingness that allows for all of life to continue to live and evolve. This innate freedom is the very fabric of life itself, it’s the backdrop of life and it’s also the foreground. It’s all this very same one Freedom, breathing Itself into each moment, being each

moment … allowing all of creation to pulsate, expand, contract and express and be.

Yet, something so constant, so present and so readily available is so very easily overlooked. Why and how? Our inability to recognise what’s actually happening keeps us captive and spellbound in our heads.

The truth is, free we are … vast, eternal, pure, clear, loving and so very real ... just as we are.

This … This … This … This one 4 letter word points to This that is.

If we let go, stop trying to hold It, stop trying to find It, stop trying to know It … This reveals Itself.

Freedom is … simply drop back in … not in movement, but in that simple allowing that calls us back to the Heart. Here, all is clear. The Heart is the Infinite Eternal Spacious Beingness that simply is and simply allows … see This … Know This …

Be This ...

Freedom is in This

In the Flow …

The Way of Liberation An Interview with Adyashanti

BY LEO DRIOLI & ENZA VITA Adyashanti is an American-born spiritual teacher devoted to serving the awakening of all beings. He is the author of The Way of Liberation, Falling into Grace, True Meditation, and The End of Your World.

His teachings are an open invitation to stop, inquire, and recognize what is true and liberating at the core of all existence. Asked to teach in 1996 by his Zen teacher of 14 years, Adyashanti offers teachings that are free of any tradition or ideology. “The Truth I point to is not confined within any religious point of view, belief system, or doctrine, but is open to all and found within all.”

Adyashanti will be holding a 7 day silent retreat in Mangrove, NSW in October 2013. For more details on his events, books and teachings visit www. adyashanti.org LEO: You came from a Zen background but you don’t actually teach Zen Buddhism, why?

ADYASHANTI: There’s not really a specific reason. When I started to teach I taught it pretty much the same manner that my teacher did. I had meditation cushions and mats … I’d set them up and everybody would face the wall and meditate just like we’d done with my teacher.

We did some chanting and I did a short 15 minute talk.

It was all modeled on what I’d done with my teacher who I’d studied with for 14 years. And then one day I started to entertain a few questions after my short little talk and I was really moved by how sometimes in just a few moments of dialogue I could help someone see through something that they might have been meditating on for years. Occasionally I would save people a lot of time just by doing it in a public forum … Because in Zen Buddhism most of the questioning is done in private between a teacher and student in what they call Dokasan. Anyway I just saw that this more public question and answer thing had the power to it so I started to extend the time that I’d be engaged with people in discussion and just slowly it took on the form that it has today. It just really naturally evolved. When I was doing it I had never heard of things like Satsang or any of these kind of words. It just evolved that way and it also goes back to my original intention. I was really interested when I started … I just had to find out what enlightenment was. Every time I read the word I just had to know what it was. Even though I became an official Buddhist, my intention wasn’t to become anything other than what I already am. I really just wanted to know what this enlightenment thing was all about. So that kind of naturally started to manifest itself when I taught and I was more than happy to use Buddhist teachings that would help, or Christian teachings or anything that I thought would help me communicate better. That was really my interest.

Leo: I was listening to an interview you did a few years back and the interviewer asked you what your teaching was. He said he listened to you speak but he couldn’t pick up what the actual teaching was and you said, Well that it’s probably because you address each individual’s needs … so you kind of said, I struggle to find what my teaching is too but I’ve come to your “Way of Liberation” book and teachings lately and I realise that you’ve actually done that now, you’ve formulated the teaching, is that right?

ADYASHANTI: Yeah, that’s the reason I put out that book.

I wanted to come up with a really condensed form of what my teaching is. All of those elements that are in that book can be found in my teaching over the last 15 years but I never really presented in that format. So I was always clear on what the aim of my teaching is but I started to realise that for people listening, they weren’t always exactly clear on just what the teaching is. That was one of the motivations to write it down in a really direct and simplified version.

LEO: It’s actually fantastic. I must say I’ve read it and it’s really really powerful, being that condensed it captures everything so succinctly.

ADYASHANTI: I’m delighted it feels that way for you.

LEO: At the end of your book “The Way of Liberation”you describe a sort of imaginary journey that you put together about what happens in awakening … was this based on your own journey?

ADYASHANTI: It wasn’t strictly. It’s a sort of fictionalized account of my own experience. I wouldn’t say it’s exactly as it happened to me but it was certainly pretty much the elements of what happened to me as a different story.

So it was a way to give in a story format what I saw is some of the really important elements of awakening. I think sometimes stories contain or express something that you can’t do just in straight conceptional language.

Immortality is something you can kind of get a sense of it more than getting the teaching.

LEO: I must say I enjoyed it being at the end; it really brought everything together beautifully. In the new book you really explain it as a stripped down practical guide to spiritual liberation and enlightenment. Can I ask you how many of your students have actually achieved this?

ADYASHANTI: Well I couldn’t tell you numbers coz I don’t keep track of numbers. If you ask me has anybody I’d taught come to it? I would say yeah, quite a few, but I wouldn’t really know how many. I mean it’s one of the things about awakening, enlightenment, liberation, as I see they’re much more fluid concepts than people think they are. In other words, not all awakenings are the same. Even in a legitimate awakening it can be a vast array of how deep it goes, how thorough it is, how much it is embodied into one’s life. You know all those elements can vary greatly from one individual to the other. When I started to teach 15 years ago if I could just get one person in my lifetime to really realize the truth really clearly and be able to live it, I would be thrilled. If I had a goal, that is my goal. I’ve been really pleasantly surprised over the years that it’s been many, many, many, years that first person has really woken up and lived it to a great degree, so there have been many others since. Beyond that I couldn’t possibly it’s been 50 or a 100 or …

It’s a good question. To me, the bottom line of any spiritual teaching, the only thing that’s important is: Does it work? It’s not really how eloquent it is or how subtle it is or refined … but at the end of the day what’s really important is, Does it really work? So I think your question really comes out of that and is an expression of a very important question … does it work? And anybody, no matter what spiritual teaching they may be utilizing … that’s a really important question for them individually which is Does this seem to be working for me? And if it isn’t, you’ve got to review how you interacting with the teaching, or you might need to move on and find something that really works for you.

ENZA: What is this Enlightenment that you speak of, because the word is used out there in all the different spiritual teachings and everybody’s got a slightly different definition of it? Just wondering what your definition of enlightenment is?

ADYASHANTI: Well you know, like most things in life, you can’t define it (Laughter) but it doesn’t mean that I’m not going to give it a try. (Laughter) ENZA: I thought you’d say that. (Laughter)

ADYASHANTI: Like anything, the definition isn’t really much like the real thing at all, so I think we should all hold the definitions very, very lightly instead of very tightly. I mean I think there are few basic elements that have to be considered when we talk about enlightenment. One of them would be something that’s really fundamental. By fundamental I mean something that is not just transitory or passing but the real seeing of ourselves not in some way separate, to see ourselves as whole, by whatever means you want to express that. To see our essential nature is that which is the whole, whether we want to call that Buddhanature or the Divine or just the One. I think that’s the key element. If that’s not there, we really can’t be talking “Enlightenment” … Enlightenment is really to be waking up to the whole, to the oneness of all existence. Although to me that’s the first step. You can realise

that and still have a lot of egoic content going on, and a lot of inner contradiction happening. To me part of this trajectory from awakening to liberation would be the capacity to, number one: To be able to live what you realise, so you’re expressing it in the way you move into the world of time and space. So it’s not just a private inner realisation or inner experience but it literally becomes who you are through your humanity, to be the much more mature expression of enlightenment. And also what I would include to be a really mature expression of enlightenment would be the experience of non-division, not in the metaphysical sense like I just mentioned before but non-division in the psychological sense.

Where we do not internally have divisive psychological forces creating friction. I think that those elements are indispensible if we’re going to talk about enlightenment about liberation.

ENZA: What is the greatest barrier to awakening and what is the most valuable thing that we can do in our daily life to wake up?

ADYASHANTI: Oh … you guys are so full of good questions aren’t you? (Laughter) They sound so harmless.

(Laughter) Oh gosh, I’m just playing with you … that’s a great question but the reason why I think it is not simple to answer, is because I’m really hesitant to give pat answers to questions like that. In “The Way of Liberation” it’s what I call the False Self. The False Self that sees itself as separate is probably our greatest barrier to awakening. In the metaphysical sense it’s very true that it is a barrier but when we get down to a specific person, what they are actually dealing with … what their particular barrier is can be very different from person to person. Their particular type of separateness … the way they feel and create separateness ... that can vary so much. So that’s why I’m kind of a little hesitant to give you one answer. Because I know over all these years working with people that it’s very unique from person to person and it always has something to do with the way we see ourselves as separate from the whole.

ENZA: So this brings us to the role of the Teacher and their importance in guiding us. Is it absolutely necessary to have a Teacher to awaken?

ADYASHANTI: No, it’s not. It all also comes down to an individual person. For one person the answer may be absolutely yes but for another person the answer may be no. It’s very individual; some people really, really need a teacher. Their chances of finding their own way out of their confusion are very, very slim if left on their own. And there are other people - you know Ramana Maharshi didn’t have a teacher - you know there are other examples of people who have awakened but didn’t have a teacher at all. It’s so individual, some people do and some people don’t.

ENZA: So what is the role of the Teacher in your teachings?

ADYASHANTI: Well I think the first role of a teacher is to simply be themselves. I think it’s really fundamental that they are absolutely authentic, to be natural in their own way. Beyond that, the Teacher’s job is to question people’s answers. Because whether we know it or not, we all come to spirituality with a whole host of ideas about what the world is, what God is … or we may be really confused and not know. But that’s not what holds us in bondage. What holds us in bondage are all the things that we think we do know … all our beliefs, our opinions … our judgment. Those are the things that we think we know and we think are really true. The Teacher’s job is really, to question all of that. The Teacher’s job is not necessarily to give us nice, tidy answers to all of our big questions. The Teacher’s job is really to spot the conclusions we’ve already made, and to question those. And the student’s position is the same thing. The student also has to have a real love of truth. And if we have a real love of truth it doesn’t mean we have a love of the answers. It means we really have a love to actually question deeply … to question our own answers that we think are true … to question our own conditioned

ADYASHANTI ideas. The Teacher and the student really have the same fundamental orientation where they are both lovers of truth. If they are both courageous enough to question deeply then they have a really dynamic and powerful relationship.

LEO: Over the years you must have seen many people start with enthusiasm and with really good intentions but then lose their way, what do you offer as a Teacher to help your students stay on track?

ADYASHANTI: Well, one of the first things I always focus on with anybody is that it always comes down to your intention. Everything follows your intention. What I mean by intention is what we hold that is really valuable to us.

Because what we each individually hold that’s really valuable is reflected in what we do. An example of this is someone could turn on the TV and watch the Olympics and while watching they would say “I would love to stand over there and receive the gold medal.” Right? But you don’t get that gold medal just because you say you want it … You have to follow through on a lot of action to get there, right? So it’s the same way that a lot of people say they want the truth, or they want freedom, or they want God. But our intention, by what we really hold as valuable is always reflected in what we do and what we give our time and attention to. So the first thing that I want to establish with anybody that comes to me is that I want them to get really clear on what they really, really want. And for a lot of people that’s its own journey. Because if you’re not really clear and you haven’t really touched upon what you value really really deeply, then your motivation come s and goes.

And that’s just the way some people are. Their motivation comes and goes, their dedication comes and goes. And that’s not right or wrong, it’s certainly not as powerful if you’re always changing your direction. I don’t look at this in terms of necessarily applying your will power. I look at it in terms of love. What do you love? What’s so important to you that you’re going to empty your life so that you wish to pay attention to that?

What is that? And when people touch upon that within themselves, they touch upon a vitality that doesn’t really come and go. A lot of people haven’t really looked, they just heard the word “enlightenment” or “awakening” and they say “Well, that sounds really good. I’d like to be free. I think I’ll go after that.” You know, it has to be connected to something that’s really, really “real” … really “real”. Then you’ll have dedication. We don’t have to be reminded of the things we love, do we? If you fall in love with somebody, you don’t have to say to yourself “Now, what discipline do I have to undertake to be in love?” It’s just with you; it’s a part of you. I think that the first thing you have to do is to connect with that, to connect to that that you really, really love … that you really value..

LEO: What happens after awakening? You mentioned that there are degrees of awakening. Many people discover

THE PRACTICE OF PRESENCE

Allowing Natural Meditation to Happen

BY ENZA VITA In our day to day life, we are always habitually involved with thoughts and projections, constantly trying to manipulate whatever comes up in our life experiences by either moving toward the ones we like or moving away from the ones we don’t . But the thoughts themselves are not the problem.

The problem is that we are constantly reacting to them and so every thought that arises in the mind continually distracts us, “seemingly” obscuring our true nature - natural awareness. By natural awareness here I refer to our true naked nature, stripped bare of these movements of the mind.

Since the mind depends on this constant movement for its continued existence, abiding in natural awareness, what I call The Practice of Presence, is to be internally still and undistracted. This actually means to leave everything that arises in our experience (thoughts, sights, sounds and sensations) as it is, without manipulations or strategies. We simply relax in the naked ordinary awareness that is seeing through our eyes, hearing through our ears and feeling through our hearts right now, without trying to correct or replace anything, This is not a passive surrender but a letting go to being totally present and totally relaxed at the same time, without any artificiality or manipulation. Instead of our usual habit of grasping and making the moment solid, we open, dissolve and ‘let everything be’. This is essentially the complete practice. There is nothing else that we are doing.

Through this natural meditation, we begin to clearly see the difference between the state of habitual reaction to life and the simple effortless non distracted space of our natural nature. Once the habitual grasping has been disabled by “wearing out” the mind habit of accepting and rejecting, then thoughts, emotions and sensations continue to arise but they are not fixated upon and solidified by the mind.

We discover, as each thought arises, that it does so in the very same space in which the last thought and the thought before that arose and that all experiences, including the body-mind we believe to be, happen in THAT. We realize that we aren’t a distinct someone inhabiting the body that we are looking out of. We realize that we and everything emerging out of present moment awareness are identical.

At this point, whether there are thoughts or not, natural awareness is no longer obscured.

Q & A about the “practice” Q: Can you explain how The Practice of Presence is done?

A: The Practice of Presence is simply to remain undistracted from present wakefulness, to relax and open in all directions, without spacing out and losing our alertness. To be as open and relaxed as possible while being present and lucid with all our senses wide open.

The words “remain undistracted” seem to point to a mind-made effort, but what I’m talking about is to leave the mind as it is and rest in the cognizing intelligence that is aware of reading these words right now .

We don’t strive to reach some “amazing goal” or some “advanced state.” Nor do we use the practice to “go deep into ourselves” or to withdraw from the world. Instead, we just trust, connect, and realize what is already here.

If “interesting” experiences happen, don’t give too much attention to them. Spiritual experiences and lights shooting out of our third eye have nothing to do with awakening. They are just spiritual entertainment, coming and going in the impersonal awareness that we are.

While all forms that appear are vibrant with uniqueness and meaning, don’t cling to these forms and let them go the moment after they present themselves and return to pure unfabricated awareness.

At first we may only be able to rest in this aware

presence for a few seconds before we are distracted by thoughts.

When thoughts arise, what has happened? Has awareness gone anywhere? Have we gone anywhere?

No, our attention has just gotten caught in a thought.

When this happens, refrain from judging your practice or your progress. Everything that arises is simply the play of awareness and everything is naturally perfect just as it is. Every time you get distracted, just simply bring the attention back toward awareness itself.

Relax into this aware presence many times throughout the day. At first, if we try to sustain this for long stretches, it can become a goal-oriented mental practice.

So it’s better to spend time as often as you can during the day just being still within this “objectless,” timeless, eternal, and enduring space.

When you are able to truly penetrate this practice, what you thought you were dissolves into a space that is free of any concepts of self. At the same time you also experience a sharp lucidity without thought. These two aspects together are what is called presence or awareness, your natural original nature. Then you see nakedly, clearly and you realize that you have always been THIS. Q: During the Practice of Presence , I have been experiencing the truth of my being as an infinite spaciousness.

A: Now let that spaciousness go. Why? Because it is still a mind state.

Our original nature is open, spacious, lucid awareness, but not as an egoic experience—“Ahh, I am so open, so vast, so spacious that “I” encompass the universe of universes!” We may feel amazingly open and spacious, but the “I” is still there. This is still a dualistic mind state and not our real nature at all.

Who we truly are is not an object that can be held in the mind. As soon as the notion of spaciousness arises, the ego has turned it into an object.

As we familiarize once again with our natural nature, it is common to experience a sense of unconfined spaciousness giving rise to bliss, peace, clarity. This is a wonderful state and yes, there can be a huge sense of freedom in it, but “you” are still there holding and perceiving the spaciousness.

So now you need to let the spaciousness go. At some point you may begin to notice that you are “staying within the spaciousness.” So you let the “staying” go too. And then you may notice that there is still a very slight desire of wanting the spaciousness again. So you let that go as well, and as you let go more and more of any state where an I or me is present, no matter how subtle, you become the spaciousness itself, awareness itself.

Enza Vita, past editor of Woman Spirit and Health and Wellbeing magazines and co-editor of Innerself newspaper for the last 11 years is the author of 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 ever-present reality always available here and now.

The first 3 chapters of the book Always Already Free are available for download from www.enzavita.com

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.

This brilliant contribution to our modern understanding of authentic identity and Presence brings us to a new awareness of ourselves and our innate wholeness and completeness. Enza’s personal awakening story, in the first few pages, is worth the price of admission.

Enlightened wisdom is like an endangered natural resource today, which we overlook at our peril; let’s join in exploring and developing our own innate transformational resources for a change.

— Lama Surya Das, international bestselling author of Awakening the Buddha Within This is an outstanding offering to our appreciation of the genuine voice of Pure Presence. It brings us to a deep awareness of what it truly means to study and realize the self and our intrinsic true nature as that which is already perfect, whole and complete. A book absolutely worthy of your time and attention.

in the FLOW WITH DR GRAHAM WILLIAMS

THE FOOTPRINTS OF YOUR MIND You can spend of lot of time looking for your mind and never finding it. It seems so elusive. And yet it’s right here, not quite in front of us, but so obvious that we so easily miss it. As the Zen tradition says: “It’s closer than hands and feet”. To find your mind, and to understand it – you just have a look at your body.

Lucia 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) 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.

Lucid Light Stimulator Lucia N°03 is now available for sessions in Adelaide.

Your mind shapes your body

In a famous and often misquoted verse, the Buddha said: “Our life is preceded by our mind, ruled by our mind, made by our mind”. More often than not you’ll find the word “thoughts” instead of “mind” and this gives a skewed view of what he actually meant. What he actually meant was something much more all-encompassing than thoughts.

Not just our thoughts, but our emotions, memories, habits and stories – all the subconscious processes of our minds; how we feel and think, and all the different stories we carry around in our heads, shaping our decisions and our actions. And all of this has a profound effect on our bodies.

Your mind shapes your body – what an idea! And yet it has been something which was discovered last century among psychotherapists. As a student I came across

the work of Alexander Lowen who became interested in the link between mind and body while studying law and then went on to train as a psychotherapist. His books The Language of the Body, Depression and the Body and The Voice of the Body illustrate how focussed he was on showing how our bodies reflect the states of our mind. And then, somehow, this link got lost again in the psychotherapeutic world.

I’m sure this has something to do with the fact that, in the West, we have always seen the mind as something distinct from the body.

For example, if we take a look at the Swiss psychologist Carl Jung’s map of the psyche he includes four functions: thinking, feeling, sensation and intuition. There is no suggestion of our actual physical bodies being included.

Consciousness & the body

In the Buddhist tradition however, the map of human consciousness includes not only sensation, perception and narration (our ability to construct language, memories and stories) but also our bodies. In fact, our sense organs are seen in their own right as creating our conscious perceptions of the world, and also of ourselves, because they are our receptors, collecting all the sense

data which we then experience as sensations.

These sensations become the raw material which our brains process to form our perceptions and stories, and it is through these that we shape our experience of the world. Without our bodies, none of this would be possible. And so the meditation tradition has always seen our minds and bodies as intimately connected, completely dependent on each other, and affecting each other.

Ever since I was a child I can remember my mother saying how my father truly believed that the corporation in which he was CEO would fall down if he wasn’t there to hold it up. This was his story, his view of the world. What this meant was that I was brought up with a strong sense of responsibility – which was good of course. The downside was that I, and all of our family, developed a stoop as we carried the heavy weight of this responsibility on our shoulders.

I shall never forget the sense of liberation I experienced in retreat when it dawned on me how much this story had affected my body and posture and that I could let go of it.

I discovered I didn’t need to rebel against it and become irresponsible, but could learn how to “respond” effectively to all of the people and situations in my life without having to carry the weight of that very heavy story in my head and on my shoulders.

This was one of the main discoveries that Lowen made – he could describe in detail the postures which emerged from emotional

states when they became habitual.

The “hung-up” look, the collapsed chest, the stooped shoulders, the build-up of armour through muscles becoming rigid – all of the ways we have learned to defend against painful experiences.

When I started teaching, people often used to say to me; “How did you know that? Can you read my mind?” And I replied that the truth was I was reading their bodies. I would then explain what I meant and show them how their habitual mental responses had actually shaped the way they held their bodies.

Coming back to Australia from living in Europe many years ago now, I was struck by how healthy and good looking Australian children and teenagers were. And I wondered what happens, especially to boys when they become young men in their 20s and 30s. It all disappears so quickly. When I listened closely to their conversations, and the sounds of their voices I understood why. So often they were trying to be tough, assertive and aggressive, competing with how smashed they could get and still survive, forcing their voices to shut down any real emotions. And so their bodies followed the script they were writing – which is exactly what our bodies do.

Our minds are embodied

The language of our bodies is all of the sensations we experience, and we can choose to be open to them or to shut them off. If we cut off these feelings we are divorced from life because we have no contact with the world around us. Our contact with life is our own body; it’s an organism of infinite sensing capacity which we experience through our entire skin (our sense of touch), the tongue, nose, ears, eyes and also our mind.

Our minds process all of these sensations, deciding which ones to take notice of and which to ignore, and then our bodies react to these decisions because that’s how they act. As far as our bodies are concerned, the memories and stories of our minds generate exactly the same feelings and sensations as our senses. They make no distinction between them – all you have to do to understand this is remember your body’s reaction to dreams. You can wake up sweating with your heart beating furiously from a nightmare, and you can even experience an orgasm while dreaming.

Whatever we do, we can only do with our bodies, and how much we are open to listening to our bodies, to our feelings, determines how accurately our minds can respond to the people and the world around us. And this determines what we do.

Another Zen saying is, “Watch your feet” – because that is where we are and what we are doing. These are the footprints which faithfully follow our minds.

what isENLIGHTENMENT? WITH LINDA CLAIR

No Beginning and No End Question: What did you experience at the moment of enlightenment?

Linda: It wasn’t just a moment.

It was just the culmination of years of practice. What happened was so amazing at the time but now I hardly remember it. That’s what’s so amazing about this state. You let go of everything, even that point which people find incredibly fascinating.

For me, as I’ve said, as it was happening - I’ve said it a lot of times before - it was like a fairy tale come true. That was the feeling. It was like, ‘How can this really be happening?’ I remember as a child sometimes there would be fairy tales or things like Santa Claus and the Easter Bunny and sometimes I’d pretend they were true for a while and then suddenly I’d realise, ‘Ah, it’s not really true.’ This was the other way around. It was like the fairy tale was true.

What I saw as reality became incredibly unreal. What I thought was unreal became real and much more tangible than anything in this worldly existence. It was like the Absolute just became real, tangible even though I couldn’t touch it, taste it or feel it. And, there was no question about it. There was no question in me, ‘Is this it?’ It was just completely obvious. And then all my questions went. All my pain went. And I was in pain up until that point. It took a few days. It happened over a few days.

It wasn’t just click, that’s it. It just happened over a few days, really softly. There were no explosions, and bright lights. You like to think that there are. It was so simple and so ordinary, it was shocking.

There was such beauty and such simplicity, such gratitude, such love . . . but it wasn’t projective at all. It was just incredibly soft and incredibly ordinary and incredibly natural as if everything in the universe just

clicked into place. All my life made complete sense, everything that had happened, all the seemingly bad bits and good bits and why I did this and why I did that. There was no question about that anymore.

I finished the retreat and went home, got up the next day and had breakfast.

Question: Did you continue to meditate after you were enlightened?

Some people say that once you are enlightened, it’s over; it’s the end . . .

Linda: It’s never over - it never ends. After realisation, I saw that there was still residual past in me, and meditating and teaching accentuated that. I felt it. It would highlight anything that was there, and it gave me this desire to be even more pure. I didn’t feel completely honest sometimes sitting up there when there was still some impurity there, and I would express it at times. I just wanted to be completely pure – not for me, but for ‘this’. Before that, I was meditating for me. I wanted to feel OK. I thought I wanted something for me. And then when it happens you realise you haven’t been doing it for you. It’s for ‘this’- for humanity. So, after realisation the intention behind wanting to become more pure changes. But then you get to a point where you just have to accept, ‘I’m human’, and with that there is an even deeper realisation, an even deeper acceptance of everything. So, this was a deeper stage of enlightenment, and it took 7 years for me to get to this stage.

You have to come to terms with the absolute and the relative. And, that’s a huge thing. Then there’s a much deeper sense of ease, acceptance and union.

Question: Is this union with something else?

Linda: There’s nothing else.

That’s what I realised. There’s nothing else. There’s just union.

So, I’ve got no idea who I am and that’s fine. I accept that. I’m not thinking who I am; there’s no selfconsciousness; there’s nothing happening, in a way, but there is. It’s impossible to describe, really . . .

Question: What about paths more geared toward self-inquiry where many say, e.g. it’s very yes-or no; you’re either enlightened or you’re not?

Linda: Well, in my experience, as I’ve just described, that wasn’t the case. There is this point that I would call enlightenment where the majority of the fear goes – maybe 99.9% of fear goes. For me, it was quite obvious that that was it. And at that time, no, I didn’t feel there was anything else. I just felt, ‘Wow, this is it.’

But now, I see a lot happens. It actually takes you a long time to come to terms with that. A lot more happens . . . And there is this second stage, second realisation. I’ve had lots of deeper realisations, but what I’ve spent the last seven years doing, other than teaching, is absorbing more energy. I would still get surges of energy - really big surges of energy. And, I’d have a feeling like, ‘My God, this is huge, this whole thing.’

But, then it would just get bigger.

And, this was post enlightenment.

So, it wasn’t that it stopped – it kept going. And, it did take a fair bit of humility to accept that there was more to do. So, if you ever say, ‘No, this is it,’ you’re closing yourself and limiting yourself once again, on a different level. But, there definitely is more. I can say that without a doubt. And, I had periods where I was a bit arrogant about it and feel, ‘This is it, there’s nothing else’, but just as there is no beginning, there is no end. This is eternity.

RadiantMIND WITH PETER FENNER, PHD

Radical Intimacy In Radiant Mind and other courses I offer I prefer to talk about “intimacy” rather than “love.” This gives us a fresh oppor tunity to invent what we mean by the word “love.”

Rather than saying a lot about “love” and potentially debase with words, the idea of “intimacy” can be approached more openly. I feel that the word intimacy works better than the word compassion, because compassion is often understood in a dualistic and hierarchal way. We can give something to someone, something that they need. Compassion can be expressed by seeing what another needs and working to fulfill that need. Intimacy isn’t like that.

Intimacy gives us the opportunity to totally enter a situation openly in whatever shape it takes. It allows us to be aware and completely engaged with others no matter what is happening.

When we abide in unconditioned awareness we take care of others in the same way we take care of ourselves because there is no difference between ourselves and others. While we don’t feel people’s pain and suffering, or joy and elation in exactly the same way that they do, we deeply par ticipate in their feelings, because we come together in the field of undivided awareness.

Other peoples’ thoughts and feelings aren’t arising with the immediacy and with the clarity with which we experience our own thoughts and feelings. It’s more like a shadowing, more opaque, yet whatever is happening for others is effectively part of our own experience. Even though we don’t know what other people are thinking, and while physical pain is very personal, when we rest in nondual awareness, we somehow

sense the general structure of people’s throughts—their confusion, worry or clarity. And we relate to their pain as though it was our own.

From within undivided awareness we are just a clearing—a centerless space—through which a universe moves. I am me, not because there is a unique me somewhere in here, but because the space I am reveals a unique and distinctive universe.

Even though it seems I’m at the center of this, I’m not in here, and there is no center. This means that everyone who enters into the clearing that I am is as intimately related to me as my thoughts and bodily feelings. There’s no difference.

In the nondual state there is no inside or outside. There is no me in here who exists separate from everything else. It’s impossible to locate where I stop and you begin.

There is no point where I stop and you begin. There’s just this, which is everything. This is real intimacy.

From within the nondual experience we don’t invite into, or exclude, anything. There’s no one home who is capable of doing this!

Everything is already here. We don’t push anything away, and we don’t hold onto anything. Of course, this doesn’t mean that the structure of our relationships takes the same form with everyone. The people with whom we live, work and practice have a central role in our lives. Nonetheless, there is nothing artificial or contrived about our relationships.

In the nondual realm, intimacy isn’t a par ticular set of feelings, such as feeling really close or connected to someone, or feeling deeply committed or concerned about someone else’s wellbeing. Nondual

intimacy doesn’t carve out a particular relationship with one, or a few other people. Nondual intimacy is all encompassing and all embracing. Nothing is excluded. Everything in our known universe is touched with equal sensitivity and compassion. It’s the experience of total interpenetration of our being to the point where the no one who we are expands to include everything.

I invite you to explore the idea of being a “centerless clearing.” I find that it’s an extremely powerful way of being in the world.

dreamSTATE WITH DAMIAN AMAMOO

Lucidity in Dreams In the previous edition of Innerself, we looked at remembering pleasant dreams and deflecting or emotionally cooling unpleasant ones. In this issue, we will look a little more into remembering dreams and also venture into the idea of lucidity and being able to consciously participate in some of your dream experiences.

Now sometimes our rational conscious can be quite recalcitrant and resistant to investing more time into ‘less concrete’ pastimes such as dream development.

But the good news is there is something we can do that will force it to pay attention such as beginning or re-establishing your dream diary.

The process of writing in your dream diary sends the clearest message possible to your rational conscious that this is impor tant and that it should begin organising a small but precious sliver of its resources to aid you in your efforts.

Now in the majority of cases the best time to write down your dream is immediately following it. But some of you won’t like the idea of sacrificing sleep time so perhaps you could

consider going to bed just a little earlier so you don’t feel over-tired in the morning?

Your dream diary is an active record of your dream development and will assist you to recognise when you are making progress.

For example ‘power dreams’ can signpost you are about to achieve a cer tain milestone in your life or reach a turning point in terms of your spiritual progress.

Your dream diary also provides you with an oppor tunity to take a more scientific approach to your dreaming and will assist with interpreting your dreams more easily than any dream symbol book you buy at the store.

It’s up to you whether you want to record every little instance of your remembered dreams or just the highlights. But it is a very good idea to identify re-occuring symbols in your dreams and look at the timing of them with regards to what is happening in your day to day life.

If you are thorough with this, and give it careful study then you should eventually begin to see some pat-

terns emerging that give you more confidence about how your dream events can sometimes relate to your waking life.

A great number of people are excited about the prospect of lucidity in dreams.

As it offers more conscious control over what happens allowing dreamers to be more of a director and less a passive observer. For example, I was speaking recently with a company manager who was describing her flying dream to me saying it was the most ultimate experience she could remember.

So what is lucidity and how do we achieve it in our dreams?

There is a popular book out at the moment called ‘Fifty Shades of Grey’?

I have not read it, but we can borrow the idea of shades of colour to talk about lucidity.

I would like you to imagine a very large piece of paper that covers all of your bedroom floor. At the top left corner of this sheet is a deep sky blue splotch of paint whilst at the bottom right corner there is a

8 slightly lighter version of the same colour. Now in between, star ting next to the one at the top we are going to paint more blue splotches with each one ever so slightly lighter than the previous until we arrive at the bottom right hand corner. You look over your work and are proud of the very gradual transition of colour. Perhaps you invite a friend to look at your network of splotches and they say with a quick glance that ‘it all looks the same’.

Lucidity in dreams can work like the tiny colour changes between the splotches of paint because in your dreams, a tiny change of your will power and consciousness can mean the difference between flying in the clouds or being stuck to the ground or in fact being bolt upright awake.

In other words, if we desire to move and manipulate in our dream world we must be prepared to develop a finer control of our thought processes because the physics of dreaming responds to forces that are more subtle than we are accustomed.

So how do we develop this finer control?

Firstly being able to control your emotions will help a lot as in certain dream states intense emotions can cause the dreaming equivalent of a roaring gale force wind. Secondly, being able to maintain your body temperature will assist as some types of dream manipulations only seem to be possible when body temperature stays within a very fine range. Thirdly, regular exercise, good diet, hydration and meditation will assist you to have more precision with your thought control. And finally the ability to be very still at certain times of the night can assist you to do some amazing things in the dream world.

This naturally leads our conversation into other exciting areas like projection and more detail about dream environments that I would like to cover in the next issue of Innerself.

Love from your friends at One Third Dream Development. Happy Dreaming.

The Search for the Sublime in Quiet Space - the Sacred Space of Winter

BY LUCY CRAWFORD Winter reminds us of the importance of Quiet Space in our busy lives.

At this time of year we often feel a close connection with the quietness of nature, with the magnificence of a starry evening, or a candle burning gently, because we intuitively contemplate the need for deeply inner spaces of stillness. However, finding inner stillness at any moment in any kind of place is a challenge, because outer life insistently demands our attention. Our outer senses are constantly drawn in to be actively engaged with something, someone or with some activity. So where is our passive, sublime space, that the depths of winter so yearns in us to find? If our outer environment is so laden with distractions that capture our thoughts, and turns them in to vortexes of energetic focus, it also reduces our senses to the five outer functional ones, at best.

Taking a walk in nature brings our thoughts to a more multi-sensory perception of our surrounds, as we tend to feel nature as moods or atmospheres, and connect with the energies of the season and the natural, subtle energies of the land. It opens our perception beyond the five senses and into other sense realms. It allows our soul life to engage with life more freely with the spiritual, as it cleanses our mind and body, helping us access a purer form of consciousness. This is the gift of nature, but can we create this in our built environments? I feel that we can, and indeed must do so in order to provide not only more healthy, happier environments, but also spaces that support our spiritual life, and allow for experiencing the sublime in life.

Similar to the different subtle bodies of a human being, every place four aspects; a physical aspect, a life force aspect, a consciousness aspect and a higher spiritual aspect, often collectively felt as the ‘spirit of place’. It is unique

to each place, and can have a positive or negative atmosphere. The subtle fabric of a place links to other places through the earth energies of the site, and also through the memory inscribed in the land. Understanding the principles of the subtle energies of space, and of creating sublime space, is the basis of creating sacred space. Sacred space tends to be most commonly identified with ritual or sanctuary space, and throughout human history a huge body of knowledge has formed about enhancing a relationship between earth and cosmic energies in a specific place, for certain subtle effects. Sacred architecture uses architectural forms, light effects, materials, colour and sound to achieve a specific energetic affect.

In terms of our search for Quiet Space we can apply the same principles to create a specific inner quality of stillness, wellness and the sublime, for supporting quiet contemplation. This naturally draws us in to quiet, passive inner listening, and calming states, and leads to opening our active higher consciousness.

This, like winter reminds us of the intimate beauty of light shining within magnificence of the cosmos.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

BY DAVID CLAIR What is thinking?

What is this process that we engage in most of the time, without really looking at what we’re doing? When I look at what is going on inside my head I see that there is an inner voice – an inner monologue. There is an awareness of life. There are sense perceptions and all kinds of images, coming and going.

Let’s look at the inner voice. It has some very interesting qualities.

It is speaking, and I take it to be my voice, though I am obviously not speaking. And I don’t hear it with my ears. It is completely silent; no one else can hear it.

So what does this inner voice do?

It talks and talks about all kinds of things. It plans, it worries. It talks about the issues in my life - what happened yesterday, last week. It tries to work out what’s going to happen next. Sometimes it becomes agitated, and keeps talking about the same thing over and over. When this happens I can become irritated

and upset by it, and at times like these I see that I don’t seem to have very much control over it.

I used to teach meditation in drug rehab centres. When I spoke about the inner voice, the thinking mind, and how little control we seem to have over it, some people in rehab related very strongly to what I was saying. I remember one man, who was an alcoholic, saying, ‘that’s why I drink – to get rid of that voice.’

Others nodded in agreement.

Some of our thoughts are useful, but many of them are not. Many of them in fact are very detrimental to us. A lot of our thought patterns are negative – worry, anxiety, regret, frustration, dissatisfaction, obsession. When we are worried or anxious, it seems natural to say, ‘I am worried. I am anxious.’ We do not usually say, ‘my mind is worrying. I am having anxious thoughts.’

You may wonder, reading this, if I am putting too much emphasis on the thinking mind. I seem to be

blaming my mind for my anxiety. You might say, if I am anxious then I will have anxious thoughts. But there is a way to find out what’s really going on.

Sometimes in meditation the thinking mind will stop. For a while, maybe short, maybe longer, we are free of thoughts. This shows us two things. Firstly, that our life is not dependent on the thinking process. Secondly, it shows us what life is like without the thinking mind’s dominance. We find that without the thinking process there is no fear, no anxiety, worry, regret. What remains when the thoughts stop? Awareness remains. Calm awareness.

We are fully aware in the moment.

It’s such a relief. We see that the thinking mind is just a small par t of us – the tip of the iceberg. Our thoughts tend to take up most of our conscious attention. But when they stop, we see that we are much more than our thoughts. When we see this, see it again and again, our life changes. Instead of being a victim of our out-of-control mind, we know that we can move beyond it, begin to change our inner balance.

This is the power of meditation.

Betrayal Betrayal is an emotional response to feeling let down, generally by someone close to us; a friend, lover or family member. We experience disappointment and disbelief, that they, of all people, could do this to us.

There are feelings of sadness, righteousness, anger, maybe even revenge. But alas - what we experience externally, is really about what we are experiencing internally.

When we think of betrayal we think of - the other doing X to us. Let’s put that aside for now and look at the most significant betrayal of all. The betrayal of self. In spiritual circles there is an old adage – To Thy Self be True.

So simple, so beautiful, so very hard to do.

When a per son speaks to me of heartache, of betrayal, I know immediately the real pain has naught to do with other, but all to do with self. The spiritual therapist knows ‘IT’ is ALL reflection. That, to be truly healed, the focus must be on self for the healing required is forgiveness of self, not forgiveness of other.

By Louise Tebble

This is much easier said than done. To cultivate a sense of gentleness for oneself, knowing you will hurt people and they will hurt you.

The question is... Can you stay with the pain, let it swell your heart, and allow the tears to fall, unabated?

Can you then rise in the early morn and let the song birds fill your very soul?

Life is rich, textured, full of gifts; beautiful in both its pain and, its joy. Can you stay truly present with the pain and the joy, allowing them to reverberate within you? Healing is feeling, it is not thinking. When people do not feel, when nothing ‘touches’ them, they have learnt to disassociate. To be human we must feel; to process our daily lives, we must feel; to truly connect with another, we must feel.

We need to learn the difference between what is ‘a soul’s gift’ and what is self sacrifice. We give of the soul when we give freely and without expectation that we may receive anything, in return. When we give out of duty or martyrism or we think we must for else we will betray another, we betray ourselves. Truth is felt, it is not thought.

When we betray another, for ‘things have changed’, we must feel; when another betrays us, for ‘things have changed’, we must feel this too. Sit with the violation and all that comes. And then, BE with the crow as she calls the morn. anew.

If you are struggling with betrayal and wish to act, I’m very much looking forward to meeting with you.

Namaste.

Symptoms

& Stress

in strange are gifts wrapping paper!

by Diane McCann Mathews I hear you saying, “What a stupid question. Of course not!” And yet for many of us we wake up or live our lives with relationships that don’t work, fears, anxiety, guilt, blame, worthlessness, financial dramas and a myriad of issues, emotionally and mentally... not to mention the bodily physical symptoms we create in our life on a regular basis.

‘Symptoms and stress are gifts in strange wrapping paper’ is a saying

by Dr. Darren Weissman and it is so true because the body is the way the subconscious mind lets us know something is amiss in our lives. Our conscious mind is the part of us that says ‘I deserve to be happy’ or ‘I can have the dream relationship of my life’ etc. and then we wonder why we don’t manifest those dreams or intentions., despite writing reams of affirmations or making vision boards and living by the suggestions of The Secret! If we consider that the conscious mind is between 2-10% of our waking consciousness, we realise there is a lot more going on.

Our subconscious mind on the other hand is the part of us that is reactive. It does not think; it just reacts. The subconscious is below the surface, just like a submarine.

You can only see it when it surfaces ... and it generally resurfaces at highly inappropriate times! A good example is when you were a little kid and you were watching your mum bake a chocolate cake. It went into the oven and smelt heavenly. You couldn’t wait to eat it. While you were impatiently waiting for it to come out, you accidentally broke your mum’s

favourite vase that was sitting right there on the bench top. Your mum reacted and smacked you really hard which hurt and you were very upset.

Years pass, you forget all about the incident but one day you are walking down the street and having a small altercation with your partner, the smell of chocolate cake wafts from the bakery as you pass it. Suddenly you are totally reacting… women might burst into tears, sobbing hysterically having no idea what it is about because, men might feel a wave of anger rushing through them. On some level, you know it is not about the small argument, yet you don’t seem to be able to help yourself. We react so easily to things that have nothing to do with the present moment. Most of us live our lives in the past or the future, rarely in the present and we spend most of our life reacting to past memories, unconsciously! Your subconscious does a great job taking care of your body, you don’t have to think about whether your heart needs to pump blood or you need to breathe, it just happens along with handling every other system in your body The subconscious rules 90-98% of the function of the body..... imagine that... the 50 trillion cells, your mind and your behaviour are all under the control of the subconscious and it is all unconscious – so you are not even aware of it. Every memory and belief that has not been processed live here and should be lives here when they are triggered by any sensory experience, in essence what you see, hear, smell, taste or touch, the subconscious reacts from that old memory, not from what is really

Testimonials from today’s visionaries “...a beautiful synthesis of ancient and modern science”

Gregg Braden

“...Dr Weissman’s work will change the current world view on healing.”

Dr Masaru Emoto

“I’ve experienced Dr Darren Weissman ‘up close & personal’, and his healing work is the wave of the future. In fact I would dare say the future is now. I highly recommend The Lifeline Technique because I know it works.”

Louise Hay

www.innerself.com.au www.innerself.com.au

Imagine waking up tomorrow morning and thinking to yourself: “What will I have for breakfast today? Ahh, I know, I will have a 7/10 backache, a 9/10 headache and a 7/10 feeling of despair and overwhelming sadness!” Would you EVER choose to have those symptoms?

going on in our life. How many times have you reacted to something someone has said or some incident knowing full well that your reaction is not real. Patterns keep repeating like a CD going round and round and getting stuck in the same grooves time and time again.

So, all unprocessed emotional challenges, anxiety, rage, patterns live in the subconscious mind and often appear in our lives as disease or health issues. They impact the body’s natural ability to heal, regenerate and be whole. If we could just understand that the job of the subconscious is actually to protect us, then perhaps we could begin to unravel the beliefs. Until you heal the subconscious you cannot

activate your Spirit’s Destiny or your Soul’s Purpose. You are NOT here to survive, – you are here to thrive. You are a Spirit of Pure Love.

So, if there was a way of bridging that gap between your conscious (2-10%) and your subconscious (90-98%) so that your attractor field was one of peace and joy and abundance, would you take it? If you are repeatedly frustrated with some of the relationships in your life...

If you often allow fear or challenges to hold you back...

If you KNOW there is more to life that you currently experience...

If you often react to situations in ways that don’t serve you...

If physical or emotional challenges

prevent you from doing what you love...

If you have behaviours that don’t serve you – and there was a solution – would you want it?

If the answer is yes then I would highly recommend that you consider attending the five-day THE LIFELINE EXPERIENCE training held once a year only in Australia. During these five days you will heal, transform, regenerate yourself by learning how to bridge the gap, not just for yourself but for your family and friends.

What people have to say about the Lifeline Technique

My oldest daughter is five.

She has always been a bright, if not gifted, child. Her vocabulary is large, she is very social, talking with great enthusiasm to anyone who will listen. At pre-school, and into kindergarten, we noticed different behavior. She became precocious, bossy to other children, unable to focus, found it difficult to take instruction, etc. No discipline or psychological techniques were effective, she began to be disruptive in class. She was diagnosed as ADHD, prescription medication was recommended. We refused

the stimulanta. Instead I got LifeLine sessions done on my daughter using me as the surrogate for the child.

We learned that despite everything we had done right to reassure her, she still felt insecure about her younger sister who survived cancer the year before. Her behavior improved dramatically, she no longer has discipline problems.

I highly recommend LLT for any issue, be it emotional, physical, relationship, financial, etc. I am a firm believer in its power.

Paige C.

I have a 14 year old boy and I am a single mother. My son was very disrespectful to his teachers and me. He was very angry, negative and was not a happy person. Teachers were calling me two to three times a week about his attitude, rudeness and his being disrespectful.

He was headed down the wrong path and despite groundings and discipline, nothing was helping. I got four Lifeline sessions on my son using me as the

surrogate. Each time the holding pattern was at the moment of birth. I had a very tough and painful delivery. After only four sessions, my son seems very calm and peaceful.

His attitude has totally changed and he seems to have a positive and confident outlook on life.

What a difference this has made. I will learn this tchnique.

yourRELATIONSHIPS WITH DIANE M CANN c

REDEFINING THE HEART OF MAN How wonderful is it to listen to beautiful strong powerful men stand up and speak about women in a way that honours the true masculine and feminine. Patrick Stewart (Captain Picard from Star Trek) talks about his childhood and his father beating his mother and now he suppor ts women in safe houses and works with PTSS. He tells the story of how the ambulance or the police would say: “Mrs Stewart you must have done something to provoke him.” “Mrs Stewart it takes two to argue” Patrick said that is not true.

Violence is never ever a choice a man should make. Ever!! To listen to the beautiful teacher in America who is turning his ghetto kids into gardeners and creating ver tical gardens all over America, teaching these kids about nur turing seeds and then baby plants and then big plants. People who nurture anything like from the vegetable, mineral or animal kingdoms normally know how to nurture people.

The statistics of suicide in this country for men are growing rapidly and they just announced the new advert coming out to support men which said 33 men a week suicide in this country alone. The question is why? The men’s line in Melbourne stats show that most men ring because their relationships have failed. Why? Many men did not have nurturing loving, emotionally present fathers and this sets up patterns and self doubt within the psyche of the man that he is not good enough. Our men, as little boys learned early to… stop… the tears, the being a sissy, the emotions. They learned then to separate their heart from their head and this caused massive repression of emotion. Joe Ehrmann on a TED talk said that by age 8 little boys are being defined by their athleticism, size, strength and skill set and that is Lie # 1.

Lie # 2 is the bedroom. Young lads (and some men) see themselves as masculine by how many women they can bed. Joe said that is “using women to prop up their own lack of self worth.”

Lie # 3 is Economic success.

He spoke of ‘A-Lexi-Thymia’ meaning the inability to put feelings into words. If you don’t even know your own feelings then you can’t possibly undertand others. His research shows this is a precursor to depression, divorce, violence, and it is very predominant in men.

I agree with him that violence is nothing more than unprocessed

grief and that it is time we stopped raising our boys to compare and compete.

The journey from the head to the heart is the sub-title really of our seminar Man’s Inner Journey and it is a privilege to watch men learn that it is totally okay to feel. That they don’t have to stay stuck in patterns of low self-worth (women either for that matter).

In the end, as men on the planet today learn to heal their wounds, learn to feel their feelings, learn that it is safe to cry and ask for help and be held then we will change how it is for the next generation of men.

For both men and women, the journey to the heart is not always an easy one as we have to release the old sadness, the old pain, the old story that we have carried around with us, believing it to be true but it is possible to do it with some work… to make a stunning garden requires a lot of work and we do it uncomplainingly… To cook a gourmet meal requires a lot of work, yet we do it. Why then are we afraid to look deeper into our own hearts to discover our true self… the heart is where empathy resides and where love lives and the most important thing any of us can do for ourselves is to rediscover that love inside us.

In the end the world is about two things: love and the relationships we have… and whether or not our life made a difference! No one ever on their death bed thinks Did I earn enough money? they think Was I a good husband/wife; father/mother; son/daughter; friend? Keep unravelling those patterns by finding the truth of who you are and you will be able to answer a resounding YES!

BOOKS • CDS • DVDS Walking With Spirit

Self Nurture Journal

by Joy Brisbane

This is a book that is gathering momentum. Walking with Spirit has been selected by its publisher, iUniverse, to be taken to the Frankfurt Book Festival later this year. It has also been selected by a partner of iUniverse, Berrett-Koehler, to be placed on a listing of 500 other publishers with rights to be published in other languages.

In Walking with Spirit, Joy draws on her experiences as a psychic medium, counsellor, trained nurse and energy healer to share ways in which we can step out of our negative thoughts and feelings and reclaim happiness in our lives. Walking with Spirit is not a text book but rather it is an easy read, written simply, small in size and yet packed full of helpful guidelines for people to use in their day to day lives. To quote one reader, Steven, “Very inspirational, there were a few bits that also made me cry so, like a great song, it stirred up the emotions. It has inspired me to keep asking those deeper questions and to practice more living in spirit rather than just reading about it. I think you are not only walking in spirit but living in spirit”.

The message communicated in Walking with Spirit seeks to touch the lives of others and help them to find joy and peace. It asks you to open your mind and heart to the possibility of healing yourself. Joy writes, “When we step into our divine heritage of living a joyful life – when we find the courage and strength to be who we truly are – then we enter into the experience of discovering inner freedom. We find our divine essence.”

Author of When Do The Tears Stop? Joy facilitates workshops in psychic ability, dream interpretation, past life regression and moving through grief.

However, it is through her books Joy believes she can reach out and touch the lives of many, helping them to move through depression, grief and disillusions to step back into a healthy and happy life. Joy has recently completed writing her third book, As It Is In Heaven, and will be seeking publication of that book before the end of 2013.

Copies of Walking with Spirit can be obtained through www.iUniverse.com or through Joy’s own website www.joybrisbane.com

By Dayle Morrison This book is a fun and inspirational collection of To Do lists; Places to Dream; Problem Solving Guides; Loving Prompts; Jour naling and Creativity Pages and much, much more. Morrison poured many years of valuable fun-making and learning into this unique journal. Each page is offered as memo to self from Self … a wonderful way to stay nurtured, inspired, guided and loved.

Bullying with Efficiency

Continued from page 13

this approach is met with denial from the bully, with insinuations that one should just toughen up! If exposing the behavior has no affect on the bully, then go higher in the organization. If that action does not result in good outcomes and

associates are still not being treated appropriately, leave. Find a place where people and their skills are respected. Bullying can cause depression if it is not addressed. Life is too short to be unhappy daily.

SPRING TIME - A TIME FOR RENEWAL?

BY JAYNIE MORRIS

As the Sun star ts setting later in the evening and rising to bring its rays of life to our world much earlier each morning, we start to feel a sense of ‘renewal’ and awakening in our lives. For many of us, the coming of Spring signals a time for the cleaning out of the old, and spring cleaning commences on many levels.

As a child I have fond memories of my Mother heralding in the Spring with the announcement that the curtains in all the rooms were coming down for a wash…that the windows and the skir ting boards were all getting a good clean… and that it was time for our ritual 1st Sunday in Spring – taking out all of our clothes in the wardrobes and doing a genuine ‘culling’. We would go through everything and anything that hadn’t been worn for a couple of years went into the ‘one more year and you are gone pile’ (yes my Mother was a little bit of a ‘hoarder’ ) and others were put into the bag for the Salvos. We would then put all of the remaining Winter clothes in suitcases to be stored for another year. Then the suitcases with Summer clothes would come out and what a fun time that always was…it was like an early Christmas with gasps of ‘Oh I forgot I had that!

I can’t wait to wear it again!’ and ‘Thank goodness I didn’t throw that out... it’s back in fashion’.

These days, although my Mother is long gone to a better place, every change of season I still do this ritual and this Spring is no exception. The difference is that this year something has happened in the Winter months, something that has really shifted in my mindset. In talking with many of my friends and clients I’m surprised to discover it is not only me. Many of them have indicated that over the Autumn/Winter period of 2013 world events and local issues have been looked upon by each and every one of them with a

more enquiring mind.

The direction of our global economy has been playing havoc with all of us. Whilst some governments have chosen to ‘move funds around’ in order to protect the community from the full force of the global financial crisis, others have chosen to face it head on and take the fall now rather than delay the consequences.

In discussing these strategies, most of us have agreed that when there is a serious issue that is faced, the bravest move is to face it ‘head on’.

By doing that, we are able to see the consequences, plan for the ‘hit’, investigate options of resolvement and learn from the lessons. And in most cases… come out the other side in much better shape along with increased wisdom and gratitude.

Trying to ‘soften the blow’ artificially as some governments have done, by attempting to ‘stimulate’ the economy with cash giveaways and raiding the government savings accounts to ‘cotton wool’ the financial crisis is a short term solution which in the long term, still has to be paid and…invariably, just delays the ‘hit’ that others take straight up.

When we have an issue in our lives, be it personally, emotionally, financially or in business, finding ways to ‘delay the inevitable’ and still have the issue is not the answer to strength and peace within.

These issues with our various governments have been the topic of discussion and have created an increased awareness of how impor-

tant it is to be grateful for what we have. To be grateful for what we are able to create on every level in our lives, for that is what each and every one of us is…a creator. If we want abundance on any level in our lives, we can have it…we simply have the ability to create it if we truly desire.

The opposite can be said as well, it lies simply within us all.

This increased awareness and gratitude has permeated many, so as we enter the Spring of 2013, as we ‘cull’ our wardrobes we aren’t putting so much into the suitcases for next year…we are placing the items in bags for the Salvo’s now.

As we spring clean our homes and make decisions on what we really do need, we don’t put them in ‘storage’ we pass them on to others. This creates an amazing ‘flow’ in life and as we increase that ‘flow’ our abundance increases.

In business, ‘spring cleaning’ is essential. Working through our clients and their needs and whether we continue to be the right fit or whether we need to change strategies, is all part of growing, developing and increasing abundance. We need to be truthful when looking at our clients and their projects and decide whether we are ‘facing issues head on’ to get a positive outcome and resolution or whether we are ‘cotton wool covering’ the issues to make the client feel good for just a little longer…delaying the inevitable which is terminating the contract and moving on.

Harsh realities on any level however, realities that are necessary if we are to be truly present and accountable to ourselves and to others. Spring Cleaning is fun, it can be incredibly therapeutic and when done honestly… can change your life… give it a try this year and see how it feels .

WITH BELLE MCCALEB Naturopath, Herbalist, Cancer Support & Women’s Health

SEEKING NATURAL REMEDIES FOR MENOPAUSE MISERY? Are you in the peri-menopausal years or in menopause suffering from flushing, sweating, sleeplessness, anxiety and a foggy brain or any combination of these symptoms? Are you looking for a natural solution rather than taking synthetic hormone replacement or a more recent medical approach – taking anti-depressants for these symptoms? If so I can tell you from my own personal experience as well as my professional clinical experience that there are natural approaches that DO work!

For some women it is a simple matter of estrogenic herbal medicines that provide enough phytoestrogens and or stimulate enough estrogen production to subdue the symptoms of estrogen deprivation.

These include well-known herbs such as Red Clover and less well known herbs such as Shatavari.

There are actually about a dozen herbs to choose from in this category and so herbs can be specifically selected for the individual’s constitution and symptomatology. For many women this approach is helpful but not sufficient and symptoms persist. In these cases looking more closely at contributing factors is warranted. I have found that a four pronged approach is most beneficial: treat the adrenal system, detox the gut and liver, provide ongoing liver/nervous system support and provide estrogen support herbs.

The adrenals make our stress coping hormones and in peri-menopause and menopause adrenal fatigue is a common finding. As the estrogen/progesterone levels waver and decline it seems the adrenals try to take up the slack and eventually become exhausted. Adrenal exhaustion causes lethargy, fatigue, anxiety, depression and sleep disturbances – again common findings in and around menopause. Supporting the adrenals is easy with herbal

medicines called adaptogens. These include more well- known herbs such as the ginsengs (one of which is also estrogenic) and less wellknown herbs such as Withania and Rhodiola. Adrenal recovery takes up to three months with these medicines and I generally prescribe them long term.

The liver is intimately involved with hormone balance – it is the hormone detoxifying organ of the body. I frequently find a “toxic” gut and liver is contributing to a certain extent to the bothersome symptoms of menopause. Par ticularly waking at night and sweating – usually around 3am which is the height of the liver detoxification cycle. Headaches and migraines are also associated with a toxic liver. Following a gut/liver detox and suppor t program seems to help minimise menopausal miser y symptoms.

Generally gut treatment entails a herbal detox formula and probiotics to balance the microflora of the gut and liver treatment requires a liver detox formula including high doses of St Mary’s Thistle and nutrition bases liver detoxification co-factors.

Following a diet which eliminates coffee, alcohol, sugar and wheat or gluten often helps as does the consumption of “green” veggie juices or “green powders” containing chlorella, spirulina and/or barley grass. These “greens” help support the liver amongst other benefits.

Ongoing nervous system support is also useful. In particular I find the amino acid taurine helps par ticularly with flushing and sweating asdo many herbal medicines including Zizyphus, Magnolia and Lavender.

These herbs and others are particularly useful to assist with sleep which in and of itself seems to help minimise other bothersome symptoms. If memory is affected herbs or thinking is “foggy” traditional Indian herbs such as Ginkgo and Bacopa

awakening one community at a time . . .

Book your FREE Ultra Lite information session with Christina, can help.

Finally lifestyle issues cannot be ignored. Regular exercise, regular sleep patterns and stress management approaches such as yoga and meditation do wonders for erratic hormones, burnt out adrenals and wobbly nervous systems! Yoga in par ticular is very beneficial for balancing all the hormonal systems in the body including the sex hormones, adrenals and thyroid. Do be selective with your yoga however, gentle, classical postures are probably more indicated in the perimenopause and menopause than the more “athletic” Western styles of yoga. In addition as this is often a time of change in many areas of life it is important to seek support through counselling or other means if life issues are wearing you down!

The peri-menopause and menopause years can be quite a challenge but these approaches including herbal medicines can truly help!

Natural remedies are rarely a quick fix but they are quite effective over time – no wonder women have used herbal medicines for thousands of years!!

8 MF Take the time to get the details right.

9 10 MG Be prepared to back your judgment even if it is not popular.

11 12 13 MH Emotions run deep and may catch some by surprise.

14 ‡ 1st Quarter Moon H Do not act simply on emotion as hasty action or pre-empting others may result in difficulties as there is much at stake. Be prepared to take things one step at a time and much more will be achieved.

15 MI A need to look beyond the immediate and broaden horizons.

16 17 MJ Take responsibility for what arises as this builds credibility.

18 19 MK An objective and impartial view may lead to unexpected insights.

20 21 … Full Moon K M enters L The Full Moon provides both a realisation as well as a revelation of the matter at hand. The consequences of past actions must be dealt with and processes and structures put in place for the future. For some, this may mean having to take on added responsibility. As the Moon changes sign, take the opportunity to examine emotions which come to the forefront at this time.

22 23 M A Sun enters F There is great energy for the initiation of new projects. Diligent, Precise and Organised are characteristics of Virgo.

10 11 MI Enthusiasm and inspiration will help spur things along.

14 15 ML Be prepared to pay heed to intuition.

16 17 MA Challenges now may call for calculated risks.

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.

A NEW MOON occurs when the Moon is less than 45 degrees ahead of the Sun. For a period of three and

a half days every month, there is a New Moon and all births during this period will have a New Moon in their chart.

Over and over again in clinic I have lovely patients sit in front of me with a variety of health concerns. When I ask them whether they are stressed or have high levels of stress in their lives they generally reply “No, I am not too stressed at the moment”. I then delve deeper into the consultation process and find that they are not sleeping well, they dislike their job or are having ongoing conflict with someone at their workplace.

There are relationship or family difficulties, money worries, excessive exercise or yoyo dieting. This is then combined with a poor diet, excess caffeine, sugar or inflammatory foods. Infection, recent surgery,

antibiotic use, unresolved emotional issues or overwhelming responsibilities at home. To put things simply there is chronic ongoing stress in these people’s lives which they have become so accustomed to they think it is normal. It isn’t.

Generally, the main symptoms these people come in presenting with are: • Fatigue and lethargy • Immune system weaknesses (reoccuring colds, flu, bacterial infection, thrush, cold sores etc.)

• Mood imbalance, depression or anxiety • Insulin resistance, weight gain and thyroid imbalance

• Insomnia and muscle aches and pains • Low libido • Infertility • Digestive disturbances (bloating, bad breath, pain, abnormal bowel movements etc.)

All of which can be linked back to stress and adrenal fatigue. When you are stressed your body will go into survival mode by increasing cortisol and adrenalin. This is good in small doses – however for most people these days stress does not come in small doses.

Consistently elevated cor tisol levels have numerous damaging effects to the body including: • Slowing down healing and cell regeneration • Speeding up the aging process • Increasing inflammation • Interrupting hormonal balance • Impairing metabolism and digestion • Decreasing immune system function Adrenal fatigue occurs in both men and women and will peak between the ages of 35-55years it can occur at any age however depending on influencing factors.

Most people with adrenal fatigue will recognise that they feel exhausted all the time yet constantly “wired” or running on adrenalin. You will also feel as though you cannot get up in the morning, but you cannot get to sleep at night either.

A mixture of lifestyle adjustment, dietary changes, stress reduction techniques and high quality supplementation can aid adrenal fatigue and its symptoms. Some simple dietary changes that can be made include eating good quality protein with each meal, eating every 3 hours (small meals) to stabilize blood sugar levels, reducing refined carbohydrate and focusing on quality grains such as quinoa, millet, amaranth, rye or spelt. Cutting out sugar and eating foods rich in vitamin C, vitamin B5, vitamin B6 and zinc. Lifestyle adjustments such as delegating certain tasks to others, meditation, deep breathing, yoga, cutting back hours at work, regular exercise and resting more can also aid in suppor ting adrenal health.

Letting go of negative emotions such as guilt and resentfulness and focusing on positive thought patterns helps to also reduce cortisol levels.

If you are concerned that you may be experiencing adrenal fatigue the best way to test this is through a salivary hormone test called an Adrenocortex Stress Profile which tests your cortisol levels and DHEA (another adrenal hormone) levels. Through professional nutritional and herbal support adrenal hormone levels can be bought back into balance and the body bought back into a state of optimal health.

Hormone Saliva Testing is available from Tessa Roberts N.D. at Romeo’s Organic Wholefoods Naturopathic Clinic in North Adelaide.

“INFECTIONS: Are they Caught or Do they Come from Within?”

It is common to hear people state they “caught a bug” from someone.

Oftentimes, people even avoid public and open-air exposures in order to prevent getting sick. I am sure the reader has once in their life done so. Or how about when our mothers told us “put on a jumper or you’ll catch a cold”? How physiologically sound is it to prevent social contact and put on a jumper to prevent infections? Take the example of that person who constantly catches everything from his or her closest surroundings. Is it a weak immune system, an internal infection that keeps re-occurring or is it otherwise a problem with their acid alkaline levels (pH levels)?

We have been indoctrinated with the concept that infective organisms live only outside our body and that unless we have a good immune system we will not be able to prevent getting those infections and fighting them appropriately. Most such infective organisms as a matter of fact are passed through placenta, from the mother to the baby. They await the right conditions to proliferate and create a chronic infection

in the individual’s body. Not to be forgotten are the overprescribed antibiotics which not only affect body pH negatively but also solely destroy the bacterial cell wall. In that way, cell-wall deficient bacterial pathogens lose their antigens and remain unrecognized by our body creating nonetheless an immune response. Such mechanism is responsible for the reoccurrence of infective symptoms as in the case of glandular fever infection that later lead to chronic fatigue. The right conditions for pathogenic infections include without argumentation the consumption of an acidic diet with overconsumption of animal products, processed foods and alcohol as well as physical and emotional stress. Most of the diseases afflicting us today are linked to our poor nutritional habits that acidify the cells and alkalinize the blood pH allowing for infective microorganisms to cause strife in an environment of metabolic derailment.

The discrepancies in the literature regarding the adequate body pH are many and varied, creating confusion even amongst those with

sound knowledge in body physiology. Saliva and urine pH need to be evaluated taking into consideration significant factors such as how and when the sample was instructed to be taken and whether the person is taking pharmaceutical or supplement medicine will influence the pH results. Further, knowing how to interpret the sample is also important. For example, having a saliva pH higher than 6.50 and a urinary pH higher than 6.80 should not prompt us to celebrate in the name of alkalinity. Saliva and urine results below or above the previous values are signs of strong pathological infective problems. Being under the care of a practitioner who can interpret such samples is fundamental.

Self prescription of supplements is common and self-prescription to promote alkalinity has been followed for some time now as products appear to be readily available over the counter. However, it is important to know that if your body has metabolic derailments, infective organisms and environmental pollutants, will make it almost impossible to achieve an adequate body pH. Such internal metabolic imbalances, allow pathogenic infective organisms to proliferate and cause some of the following conditions in a recurrent manner: • Colds and flu (viral or bacterial) • Fatigue • Ar thritis, polymyalgia, rheumatism • Arterial plaque build up • Connective tissue disorders • Candida infections (yeast or fungal) • Skin disorders (eczema, pso-

Prostate Health

I am writing this column because someone near and dear to me has recently gone through a bit of an ordeal due to an enlarged prostate.

So I thought we might have a chat about that in this column as it is a very common problem today especially in men over the age of 50 years. Most of us take our health for granted, it’s only when things star t to go wrong that we realise how inconvenient it is when a part of our body is not functioning at optimal levels. Having trouble with your water works for example can be very frustrating, so I’m going to give you some ideas about how you can help this situation along with a description of what an enlarged prostate means.

Enlarged prostate is a condition whereby the prostate gland becomes enlarged and inflamed, this in turn may cause a multitude of problems, such as the individual may find where once they slept like a log, they suddenly need to go to the bathroom during the night.

They may have trouble star ting a stream of urine, dribbling or leaking which can also be very frustrating.

Enlargement of the prostate may block the flow of urine through the

urethra and as the urethra narrows the bladder has to work harder and contract more forcefully to push the urine through, this in turn causes the bladder muscle to become thicker and overly sensitive which unfor tunately causes it to contract even when there is just a small amount of urine, hence the need to urinate so frequently. Finally the bladder muscle cannot overcome the effect of the narrowed urethra causing some of the urine to remain in the bladder, resulting in incomplete emptying. This is often the cause of urinary tract infections and over time, bladder stones may form, blood in the urine can occur, and in worse cases incontinence can also be an issue.

Some factors which may exacerbate the cause of an enlarged prostate are, elevated estrogens which often go hand in hand with weight in the abdominal area, obesity, diabetes mellitus type 2 may also increase the risk of enlarged prostate. Heavy metals such as exposure to cadmium or lead are also implicated as they may stimulate growth of the epithelium of the prostate. This can be rectified by having a Hair Tissue mineral test

with a qualified practitioner who can successfully antagonise the heavy metal out of your system. Tobacco smoking might also increase the risk of enlarged prostate.

So what can you do to help?

Well there are some fantastic herbs such as Saw Palmetto, Epilobium and Nettle just to name a few. Saw Palmetto may reduce the activity of epidermal growth factor in the prostate, reduce pain and inflammation and relax the smooth muscle at the bladder outlet thereby preventing the feeling of urgency and frequent urination. Epilobium may help reduce the size of the prostate due to the possibility of inhibiting the conversion of Testosterone to Dihydrotestosterone (DHT) by the 5-Alpa Reductase enzyme. DHT can stimulate the proliferation of prostate cells which may lead to enlarged prostate.

Nettle root is fabulous for reducing night time urination, it may also inhibit the binding of DHT to Prostate cells which could inhibit the stimulation of the growth of prostate tissue. Nettle may also reduce the ability of epidermal growth factor to bind to receptors in the Prostate which stimulate growth of Prostate tissue. It is a beautiful herb, rich in nutrients; you could almost call it the muti- vitamin of the herbal kingdom.

Regular exercise may help prevent an enlarged prostate, diet and lifestyle factors can also play a big par t in Prostate health. Using dietary oils such as coconut oil, flaxseed oil and pumpkin seed oil may alleviate some of the symptoms of enlarged prostate. Foods which are rich in Lycopene, a pigment which gives many of our fruit and vegetables their lovely red colour may be beneficial, it is a rich source of antioxidants which help prevent harmful by-products of metabolism called free radicals. Lycopene appears to concentrate in certain parts of the body, one of which is the prostate gland, it is also a lipid so it will be absorbed better if you consume it with oil. Some foods that contain Lycopene are: watermelon, pink grapefruit, guava, papaya, apricot and cooked tomatoes.

The prostate area in relation to iridology is seen in the right iris around the five o’clock mark, however, the overall health always needs to be addressed and looked at. In relation to this you must remember that your body belongs to you and you alone are responsible for taking care of it, nurture it and try to maintain some form of balance and harmony in your life, so that you can have the quality of life that you diserve.

Her deep love of iridology and herbal medicine is infectious. Ph: 0421618792 or email lynne@irishealth.com.au. Web site: www.irishealth.com.au

AYURVEDA & MENOPAUSE

BY DR KARUNA JAISWAL The word ‘Ayurveda’ itself means “knowledge of life”and the practice of Ayur vedic medicine is an approach to health which was developed 5000 years ago in India and recognized by WHO and is practiced throughout the world.

In Ayurveda, menopause is described as a natural effect of aging and does not reflect any disease.

So menopause is not a disease, but a natural transition in women that occurs at the age of 45-55 years.

The menstrual cycle stops and sex hormone levels decrease, including that of estrogen, resulting in the condition called menopause.

Because it is a natural transition between two phases of a woman’s life, Menopause is only linked with aging and does not have any significant causative factor. However, cases of Premature Menopause have been noticed in many women below the age of 40. This menopause is more likely to occur in women who smoke excessively, have never been pregnant, or live at high altitudes. Another kind of menopause – surgical menopause – is caused by induced removal of the ovaries. Women who have had surgical menopause often have a sudden and severe onset of the symptoms of menopause.

Many women experience a variety of symptoms as a result of the hormonal changes associated with menopause. It can be linked to symptoms such as increased body fat, salt and fluid retention, depression, irritability, headaches, low sex drive, blood clotting, heart disease, memory problems, forgetfulness, hot flashes, night sweats, sleep disturbances, insomnia, urinary tract infections, and breast cancer. Some women are troubled very little The concept of Ayurveda is that everything in the universe is made up of 5 elements –PANCHABHUTAS i.e Vayu(air),agni(fire),jal(water),ak asha(space) and prithvi(earth).

These combine to form 3 doshas or Vital energies-VATA, PITTA and KAPHA. According to Ayur veda every person is born with a unique combination of Doshas and state of health is characterized by dynamic balance between all three in the body.

In Ayurveda, Menopause is linked with aging, which is a Vata (air)dominated stage of life. Therefore, the symptoms of menopause experienced by some women are similar to the symptoms seen when the Vata Dosha increases and upsets the normal balance of the body. Vatatype menopausal symptoms include depression, anxiety and insomnia.

Menopause may also manifest itself as an increase in the other two doshas. Women with Pitta (fire)type symptoms are often angry and suffer hot flashes. Kapha (water)type symptoms include listlessness, weight gain, and feelings of mental and physical heaviness.

Ayurvedic treatment of Menopause focuses on strengthening and rejuvenating the reproductive system. Herbal preparations are prescribed to regulate the hormones, calm mental stress and maintain effective digestion. General tonics are also prescribed for boosting immunity and to provide rejuvenation. Diet and lifestyle adjustments are advised to maintain health and increase vitality naturally.

While we will always know our bodies better than anyone else ever could, when we reach an impasse, talking with an experienced Ayurvedic practitioner in Ayurveda can be beneficial. As an Ayurvedic doctor helps in healing the body by maintaining the equilibrium in the body on physical, emotional, nutritional and spiritual state of being and thus bringing harmony to the body.

Karuna Jaiswal is a highly qualified doctor in Ayurvedic Medicine and practicing for last 15 years. She graduated from a highly prestigious college of Delhi University(INDIA). After having a very successful practice in India, she is now helping people deal with different disease here in Adelaide, Australia.

PAIN & INFLAMMATION

By Sue M Coad, Clinical Nutritionist

Inflammation in the body may be a direct cause of many health problems.

While inflammation is an important part of the body’s healing process, chronic inflammation may be the root of many deadly diseases.

Many conditions involve inflammation.

Ar thritis, Joint pain, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Ulcerative Colitis, Crohn’s disease, PMS & Menopause, Rheumatoid Arthritis, Fibromyalgia are just a few conditions suffered through the release of inflammatory mediators.

The human body was not designed to handle the amount of refined sugar, salt, saturated fats and other harmful food compounds that many people in Western countries consume.

The result is metabolic syndrome, elevated insulin levels, obesity, elevated blood cholesterol and triglyceride levels (LDL and VLDL) and high blood pressure.

The American Journal of Clinical Nutrition reported that processed sugars and other high-glycaemic starches increase inflammation, which causes pain, overheating, redness and swelling.

Avoid foods with added sugars, such as sucrose, glucose, maltose, lactose, fructose or corn syrup as these are extra added sugar. Also, white flour, a simple carbohydrate, breaks down into sugar right in your mouth.

THE EFFECTIVENESS OF ESSENTIAL FATTY ACIDS IN REDUCING INFLAMMATION

Essential fatty acids provide the body with energy, they protect against heart disease, cancer, autoimmune diseases, skin diseases and many others.

Prostaglandins are hormone-like molecules made from essential fatty acids, with several types viewed as anti-inflammatory. Increasing Omega 3 rich foods in the diet such as flaxseed and canola, oily fish such as salmon, mackerel and herring markedly increases prostaglandin anti-inflammatory pathway.

Autopsy studies in America have shown that the highest degree of coronary artery disease is found in individuals with the lowest concentration of omega-3 oils in their fat tissues, conversely, individuals with the lowest degree of coranory ar-

tery disease had the highest concentration of omega 3 oils.

By manipulating the levels of prostaglandins in the body through dietary changes, or the inclusion of supplementation of EPA (Omega 3) with Fish Oil tablets, Evening Primrose or Flaxseed oil, improvement may be found in such conditions as atherosclerosis, multiple sclerosis, psoriasis, eczema, menstrual cramps, rheumatoid arthritis and many other allergic or inflammatory conditions.

REDUCE TRANS-FATTY ACIDS

Most trans fats are found in processed foods such as margarine and shor tening, which are produced by hydrogenating vegetable oils. These transfatty acids reduce the body’s ability to utilise essential fatty acids.

QUANTUM HEALTH

By Tony Gagliardi, Naturopath

How do cells and organs know what to do? What causes them to lose function? How can you assist them to restore proper function so your body can more easily recover its own self-healing capacity?

NES Health (www.neshealth.com) research suggests that we each have a structured and highly organized ‘Human Body-Field’ (HBF) that operates below cell level which is responsible for regulating and integrating the physical, chemical, mental, emotional, energetic and memory aspects of the physical body. Their premise is simple, Energy and Information control Biology.

This implies that compromised biological function, especially long term chronic conditions, can often be the result of energetic ‘distortions’ and informational ‘errors’ experienced by the HBF. The body-field can be distorted by: toxins, trauma, electromagnetic influences, emotional issues, environmental influences, micro-organisms and allergens. Over thirty years of research by Australian

Peter Fraser has determined that the root causes of chronic physical problems are distor tions and blockages in the body-field. Peter’s research has correlated hundreds of body-field functions to the physical body, achieving a revolutionary integration of ancient Chinese medicine with modern biology, anatomy and physiology.

In order to assess and treat body-field distortions then we need a map of the body-field. Quantum science holds the key to this map and holistic health approach by providing insight into sub-atomic processes where photons (light waves), phonons (sound waves), electromagnetic fields, frequencies, wavelengths and phase relationships are all tightly integrated in a structured way to provide ‘energy’ and ‘information’ as holographic ‘software’ which essentially controls the biological ‘hardware’ that is our human body.

This holographic model of the body-field is essentially a field theory where smaller fields are con-

tained within larger fields eg. gravity, magnetism, and electricity are big fields that we are exposed to at every moment and correct perpendicular alignment to these three big-fields can be thought of as our human body-field’s GPS system, relative to the earth. The human bodyfield is actually a set of smaller fields where each body system (digestive, immune, circulatory, respiratory etc…) has its own field, each major organ has a field, different tissue types have fields, cells have fields etc… but what structures these fields? What provides the organized software intelligence to these fields, from the smallest molecule to the largest organs and body systems, and how can we maintain their correct function?

It all star ts with vibration and resonance, that is frequencies, wavelengths and phase relationships, and when they are exposed to long-term stress from nutritional/ environmental/emotional/physical issues then their correct informational patterns and sequences can develop ‘errors’ and ‘distortions’.

Just like computer software that develops errors (bugs), which generate hardware errors, so can our

body’s physical functions and processes be affected by human bodyfield distortions.

NES Health Therapy is a holistic, non-invasive, health care system that is truly revolutionary in that is assesses and addresses the Human Body-Field’s structures at a sub-atomic, energetic, and informational level. This involves: 1) a quick, comprehensive, and non-invasive body-field scan, 2) assessing bodyfield priorities and 3) providing a treatment protocol of Infoceutical remedies which have been ‘encoded’ with the information to correct specific aspects of the body-field.

Fur ther details are available on his website: www.extrahealth.com.au or Ph: 8353 3777.

This specific procedure has been used in the Orient for centuries.

The treatment has been gaining popularity in Western countries in recent years.

Facial rejuvenation or Cosmetic Acupuncture is sometimes referred to as an Acupuncture Facelift. It is a very safe procedure compared to other cosmetic procedures like Botox, skin peels or facial surgery.

Cosmetic acupuncture is a special technique which involves the placing of very fine needles along the lines or wrinkles on the face. It is meant to stimulate circulation and natural collagen production in the skin; helping fade or soften lines or wrinkles. Other acupuncture points are used to help tone the muscles of the face.

The treatment involves the practitioner taking a comprehensive history of your health. This enables the acupuncturist to incorporate the correct body acupuncture points to help improve general body function.

Dysfunction in the body can lead to stress in the face and lines or wrinkle development. In this way not only the lines in the face are addressed but also a possible cause of their development.

A therapeutic laser is also used on some acupuncture points.

The treatment may also include a chiropractic adjustment to help relax the tension in the head and neck.

A relaxing facial massage using 100% Organic Rosehip Oil is included with each session. The overall treatment will take about

sixty minutes.

The average course of treatment is twice per week for six weeks, then once per week for four weeks.

Most people are surprised just how comfortable the treatment is.

The placement of most needles is not even felt. Some may pinch for a moment but once the needles are in place there is no pain. Some people report having the sensation of light pressure, warmth or soft tingling.

Many people feel so relaxed during acupuncture they actually fall asleep.

Each treatment leaves your face feeling fresher, more relaxed and toned. It takes about four to five weeks for new collagen to be produced. This is when lines begin to soften.

The Ayurveda and Yoga Relationship

The Australasian Association of Ayurveda, is delighted to announce the first Symposium of Ayurveda and Yoga to the general public and to practitioners and scholars to be held in Adelaide at the Fullar ton Park Centre. The symposium will address the relevance and benefits of authentic, traditional Ayurveda and Yoga, endeavouring to extract their essence, for application in the modern world. Embracing the wisdom embodied in Ayur vedic medicine and Yoga and methods of treating the individual as a complex whole in relation to the environment, we may use this knowledge to solve current health problems, often the result of stress from our 21st century lifestyle. The three main topics of discussion are; Panchakarma, Yoga including Ashtanga, Karma, Bhakti, Jnana and Raja yoga, and thirdly Mental health including topics such as stress, depression and dementia.

The symposium is designed to be interactive, integrating the knowledge and expertise of skilled practitioners of both Ayurveda and Yoga with

demonstrations and practical workshops, and allowing adequate time for par ticipants to ask individual questions and for speakers to provide comprehensive answers.

Ayur veda and Yoga are two closely related sacred sciences which both have their roots in India’s ancient Vedic tradition. The Vedic texts, which are in the form of mantra, contain the knowledge and science cognised by the ancient Rishis and yogis of India, which explained universal human consciousness, and the method of selfrealisation, or liberation from the endless cycle of bir th and death.

The Vedas gave instruction in spiritual discipline, which included all aspects of healing, science, art and culture.

The science of Ayurveda, one of the four Upavedas, was developed specifically for the healing of all aspects of the body and mind, with the under-lying goal of self-realisation at its heart. Yoga, particularly the Yoga Sutras of Patanjali is one of the six systems of Vedic philosophy

that systematized the meaning of the Vedic teachings; it is predominantly a spiritual practice or sadhana, the science of self-realisation, which depends upon the healthy functioning of body and mind. Both of these disciplines developed together and have been used for centuries to heal and to unfold higher consciousness, by focussing on every aspect of our being.

Ayurveda provides us with a complete mind-body system of medicine integrating all aspects of diagnosis and treatment that reflects a Vedic and Yogic approach, including values and wisdom. The eight limbs of Yoga can be used as therapeutic tools in Ayurveda for lifestyle management and for the treatment of a range of illnesses, energy conditions and mental problems.

The yamas and niyamas, or yogic principles and practices of right living, provide a firm foundation to sustain healing practice, while asana practice provides the ideal form of exercise for the body and works best in conjunction with Ayurvedic dietary and life-style recommendations. Pranayama practices - the control of prana (life currents), through breath, help to correct the movements of energy within our physiological and psychological systems. Prana is one of the key links between Ayur veda and Yoga; as Ayurveda utilises the healing power of prana and Yoga uses prana as a system of transformation to higher consciousness. Pratyahara - withdrawal from the senses, places the body and mind in a relaxed state by directing energy within and this is

essential for meditation and revitalizes body and mind. Dharana, or the concentration of mind allows development of the power of attention, an important aspect of healing.

Dhyana is meditation - sustained concentration, the inner balance of awareness. Samadhi is the state of union - deep absorption, wherein only the essence of an object, place, or point shines forth in the mind as if the mind were devoid even of its own form.

Ayurveda offers each individual, a range of lifestyle practices including Yoga, to apply to their daily life, suitable for living in harmony with their unique constitution, and in harmony with the world, a very necessary approach for modern times. Ayurveda also provides the background in which to unfold the full healing potential of Yoga. At the same time, Yoga provides the spiritual and psychological basis for Ayurveda and its higher applications. Both of these ancient systems work together and offer a full range of integrated, healing and rejuvenating modalities, fully adaptable and suitable for our contemporary lifestyle.

Chicza!

The world’s first 100% organic, biodegradable chewing gum now available in Australia.

Most people don’t give the ingredients in chewing gum a second thought, but an analysis of today’s top brands reveals a litany of toxins that can make its way into your bloodstream just through the process of chewing. But now, there is an alternative - Australian chewers no longer have to feel bad about their gum habit thanks to Chicza Organic Chewing Gum, which has just landed in Australia.

Coming straight from Mexico’s Mayan Rainforest, Chicza boasts all natural ingredients, is certified organic, 100% biodegradable and considered ‘beyond fairtrade’ with all the profits from the company going directly back to the 2000 ‘Chicleros’ - the farmers and guardians of the rainforest that produce the gum.

Chicza’s natural taste aims to capture the essence of fresh and wild fruits, herbs and spices, and that original gummy and chewy consistence that only natural gum can

give. “Upon first chew, we loved the texture and flavour of the gum and were so impressed with the pure ingredients we realized that this was something the Australian market was crying out for,” said Emily Segal and Maria Drakopoulos, whose company Organic Imports own the sole distribution rights in Australia.

Chicza Organic Chewing Gum is great for people with egg, wheat, and nut allergies as well as vegetarians and comes in four delicious flavours – Cinnamon, Mint, Spearmint and Lime.

Be at Peace with Yourself and with Life

The Value of Spiritualism

BY SUSANNE MARIE

BY JIM WARWOOD

Where’s your Compass Leading you?

ANDREW HORWOOD

You live your life according to an internal compass. That compass provides direction so that your activities follow a purposeful pattern. If your inner compass becomes out of order, your life will follow and you’ll end up doing, saying and thinking things that aren’t true to yourself. Have you ever had a feeling like that?

Lives nowadays seem so much about rushing. There are children, partners and parents to consider.

Employment, keeping fit & catching up with friends in person or on Facebook all add together and use up most available time. For a break, you turn on the TV and the media reminds us of all the dramas in the world. People often end the day tired, hoping that tomorrow will be better. It’s easy to feel that Life is hard and it’s all about struggling toward a better future. This is the common compass that people use by which to steer their lives.

What do you think is the result?

Record levels of anxiety and depression, substance abuse of all kinds, dishear tened people who feel victims of circumstances and even violence. All these result from choosing the compass of “Life is a struggle”.

What’s the alternative? Reconnect with your original compass – the one with which you were born.

Look around at the natural world.

Do you see any struggle there?

Yes, seasons come and go. Sometimes there’s rain and sometimes there’s drought. Nature simply

accepts things as they are rather than resorting to complaint. And in accepting things as they are, Nature also makes the best use of whatever is available. Now that’s a different compass! It’s the compass we were born with – the compass that says “all is well despite how it looks”.

With this compass guiding you, you don’t get sucked into the dramas all around.

How do you reconnect with your original compass? One good way is to take some time out from your regular life to slow down and reflect.

For thousands of years, people have known the importance of a time set aside for slowing down and reflection. Retreats are great ways to step into such a space.

There are many types of Retreats, ranging from silent retreats, often in monasteries or yoga centres, through to health retreats where the focus is on physical detoxification.

Commitments of time and money vary and each has its merit.

Day long retreats give you an opportunity to taste the territory of retreating in a manageable way. In a quiet setting you’ll be able to listen to the soft murmuring, encouragement and assurance of your original compass. And you could be pleasantly surprised what you discover!

Spiritualism is a defined religion with its own philosophy which has developed through the years. This means that there is a difference between spirituality and Spiritualism. People may perceive many things to be an integral part of their own spiritual journey but that does not mean they are a part of the philosophy of Spiritualism.

However, Spiritualism accepts that people who are on their journey through life may either wish to explore other avenues on their journey through this physical life or to remain committed to their own traditional religion. As a result Spiritualist Centres offer access to demonstrations that life continues beyond death, they may give an opportunity to explore your own personal gifts and to meet with those Spirit guides and helpers who stand nearby. Normally this is without any need to understand or adopt the philosophy and religion of Spiritualism.

Impor tantly, Spiritualist centres may give people their first chance to understand the philosophy and history of a movement that brought the revelation of continued life beyond physical death. Indeed it is an important role of the centres to remain true to the core of the philosophy so that new fads and unproven ideas are not lightly added to it.

So what value has Spiritualism brought to the world? Probably the most important one has been an understanding that life continues beyond death a truth which is now widely accepted. Despite the antagonism of the traditional religions, Spiritualist Mediums have produced enough evidence to impact upon the way that death is now perceived by many people. In turn that has brought about a change in the way that these organisations now approach the concepts of death or funeral services.

Spiritualist mediums, by bringing words through from loved ones on the other side, bring hope, healing and upliftment to those who thought they had gone forever. The philosophy

of Spiritualism offers a simple guide to help in life because, once people realise that the death of the physical body is not an end and then it alters all of the preconceived teachings of conventional religion.

In the past Spiritualism has had millions of adherents but now many do not even know about its existence.

People visit psychics or mediums that have never had any connection to the movement that founded their existence. It appears that what Spiritualism proved is of value but the movement has problems in drawing people to it.

Indeed there are variations even within Spiritualism. Some Spiritualists are Christians, others are not although they may accept the role of Jesus Christ as a medium, teacher and healer. Some centres operate on the lines of traditional churches, others run in a much less formal way. You may enter some centres, whether Christian or not, where the traditional philosophy of Spiritualism is hardly seen because many of the new age or metaphysical ideas have supplanted them.

However, open your mind to visit these centres looking with open eyes at what they offer, especially for that moment when their mediums bridge the gap between the physical and Spirit realms.

Sometimes, like everyone else I can get caught up in the world we live in right now. For a while I will go along with it. Sometimes I can get really caught up in the frenzy, the frustration, the problems and the angst that seems to go with the way in which many live their lives right now. The past few months, indeed especially since that magic day of Dec 21st 2012, there seem to have been many shifts in attitudes and behaviour. It has been easy to get caught up in all that has been happening. We have all had days of despair, of frustration, of wondering who we are and where we are going. Of wondering if we are making the right choices.

Many shifts have been taking place.

We are leaving behind the world as we knew it. What does that mean? It means really looking at all that has been in our life up to this point in time.

See what is right about it and what is wrong about it. What do we like about it and what do we not like? Does being around certain people serve us well or are they, by their very energy dragging us down? Can we help them to change their vibration to a higher level or do we leave them behind so that they can make their own choices on which path to follow?

We can re-examine all we have done in our lives. What led to frustration? What lead to heartbreak? What led to pain? By the same token, what brought us joy? What brought us happiness? What made our hear t sing with excitement? What opened new doors?

Sometimes friendships change. We all progress or advance at different rates according to our own needs and wants. Do we want to still be influenced by someone whom we allow to drag us down because all they know how to do is to talk about their problems?

I have been told many times over many years (and indeed I have told myself) that I am a jack of all trades and master of none. Probably a little closer to the truth is that whatever I really want to do and am interested in, if I apply myself to it I can usually succeed in doing it well. Implicit in that is the fact that I probably steer away from the things that I perceive I am not so good at and focus on the things that I know that I do have more of a natural talent for. However, does that mean I am denying myself another whole world of exciting things? That is for my future discovery.

I woke up early this morning, very early. To some this would be normal.

For me it is very unusual. But when I awoke I had the most incredible feeling of peace. Why? Before I went to sleep last night I set the intention that I would wake up with a clear mind on what I want to do from this point on in my life.

What do I want? I want to be at peace, with myself and with life. I want to look at all the good things that have already happened and to build from there. I feel excited that there are many wonderful things yet to come.

I know that first and foremost, it is to go out in love to the world. Our world needs to build more and more from a place of love. It is not so important to know how but to trust that we can and to set the intention to do so.

Prophets and teachers from many religions have had that common theme. “Go out in love,” “reach out in love.” “Love one another as I have loved you.” This is truly something we can all achieve. No matter what we do, no matter what our creed or faith or lack thereof, we can do this.

Make a point today of making someone feel happier. Smile at them, compliment them on something simple. Sit down and meditate and think of sending thoughts of love to all of those who are not feeling so happy with themselves and with life.

And so today, I have woken up with the very clear intention that whatever I do and wherever I go I will go out in love. To do this, the very first priority is to ensure that we love our own self.

We can only give out and reflect love if we truly feel it on the deepest level of our being, in our heart and in our soul. Make your life from this day on, one where you step out in that highest vibration of all... LOVE. Peace comes from remembering that only love is real.

Frequencies Do Affect our DNA!

BY ANTHONY CRAIG

There is evidence for a whole new type of medicine in which DNA can be influenced and reprogrammed by words and frequencies WITHOUT cutting out and replacing single genes. (Michael Forrester, 2012) Researchers are finding that not only is DNA responsible for the building blocks of our being but is also used as data storage and communication. The 97% of our human DNA that was referred to as junk is now being seen as having a higher purpose and the millions of gene switches found within to have importance in controlling what a cell becomes, e.g. skin, liver, brain etc., and also how they behave.

As we begin to reconnect back to the higher dimensional frequencies currently available to us through new forms of healing and new levels of understanding we are seeing healings, consciousness shifts and awakening previously unheard of.

Through the use of light, sound and vibration our DNA, including genetic defects, is being repaired.

Our DNA is being freed from the old patterns as we move forward into the multidimensional and interdimensional aspects of ourselves.

We are reconnecting back to whom and what we are.

The major medical and scientific breakthrough of approximately 4 million gene switches within our junk DNA that control complex diseases has enormous implications for our future health and consciousness.

Western science has been applying a cut and paste process to their research but other European research, especially in Russia, takes a holistic approach to affecting cellular metabolism through light, sound and vibration with very positive results.

Working with the vibrational aspects of light and sound they have shown that DNA can be modified and/or repaired. Scientists, including Russian biophysicist and molecular biologist Pjotr Garjajev and his colleagues, have been able to modulate frequency patterns influencing the DNA frequency and genetic information. Russian linguists have also determined that DNA follows principles of all languages, through syntax, semantics and basic rules of grammar. The alkalines within our DNA follow a regular grammar. Since DNA structure and language follow

the same rules no DNA recoding is necessary and this begins to explain why the use of language in affirmations, intentions, hypnosis and the like have such a profound effect on us, both mentally and physically.

These discoveries also lead us to the importance of sound and light frequencies and vibrations on the origin of human life, the possibility that we were created by waves of consciousness and that, at a fundamental level, man is pure energy.

In the science of Wave Genetics, the junk DNA operates on a rich infrastructure level of super codes and wave communication, apparent in material form as crystalline structures, suggesting that the human gene is part of a multiverse or larger holograms of wave information allowing for hyper-communication, previously described as psychic forms of communication.

“The Book of Knowledge: The Keys of Enoch” by Dr J. J. Hur tak (1973) also brings forth these concepts and the effect of sound and vibration on the chemical and mathematical coding of our DNA allowing healing to take place in previously unrecognised ways.

The links between science and spiritually that seemed to have been lost particularly in the middle ages and the separation of the sacred and secular through the rise of hegemonic male dominated churches are now coming together again through collaborations between the different branches of science, archaeology, anthropology and music.

Consequently scientific research is beginning to suppor t and underlie concepts previously advocated through the core unadulterated aspects of ancient traditions, spirituality and religion.

Key 3:17 in ‘The Keys Of Enoch’ discusses how information coming through axiatonal lines can effect healing and consciousness shifts on all levels allowing us to come back to our multidimensional perfect image. Through this arrangement ‘both acoustical vibrations of spiritual Light and sustaining Love are conveyed to the human system….’

And ‘axiatonal lines are connected with a whole series of universal wave forms which include sonic and ultrasonic frequencies. …which establish the vibrations which set the pattern for the formation of life.’

As the stars and planets move through very precise patterns in space we are also exposed to cycles of torsion energy waves. When these torsion waves are at high concentrations a transformation affects the DNA structure on the planet, which is evidenced in our fossil records and described as ‘punctuated equilibrium’ by biologists. We know that we are now in a cycle of planetary movements and positions that occurs only occasionally. It is then we see great advances in new levels and forms of healing, consciousness and awakening.

At this time we must take the opportunities to embrace new healing that works on all levels and that moves beyond just energy healing and now includes working with both Spiritual or SuperLuminal Light, sound frequencies, enhanced brain states, and the vibration of Love.

ALL SHALL BE REVEALED

BY LORRAINE WEBB We are in difficult times still at present, a time where all is to be revealed and all is being revealed.

This is a time where secrets can no longer be hidden, where all is seen.

We see the greed of some at the expense of others. We see the hunger of some for power and for money.

We see the great divide between the haves and the have nots as never before. We see the lies and the justification of some to continue to do things as they always have.

We are seeing how we are all definitely connected and all that occurs in and around us is a reflection of humanity as a whole. Worldwide we are seeing the struggles for survival and factions fighting, the struggles for power and control by some is overwhelming, yet we

also are able to easily see the once hidden agendas of the power seekers. Perhaps it appears that there is nothing new about turmoil in the world but there is a difference in these times, the cost is greater to many and lives are at risk.

We will see that there is no ‘right’ answer and there is no ‘wrong’, we are all being taught that the only way through these tumultuous times is compromise. In this time we are being taught to look beyond the singular point of view of ‘right versus wrong’ and come to a place of ‘How can we move forward and compromise so that we are all getting our needs met?’ How can we open our minds to solutions rather than problems.

Holding on to the old way of

thinking and of being in this world will not suffice nor work in the coming months. The old energy of control and manipulation no longer works and is being revealed, we cannot force our way through any situation or issue that we find ourselves in.

If you wish to be in alignment with the new energies that are now upon us that are truly beautiful and harmonious then you must surrender your old way of thinking and being and come to a place of surrendering all issues to the Higher Power knowing ‘This too shall pass’.

We cannot force a situation but you can release all fear and allow a situation to present itself to you and look for the lesson in that situation and surrender it to a Higher Power for resolution. This is the new energy, it is being in alignment with all things releasing all old energy of division between ourselves and others and ourselves and nature and come into alignment with the new energy.

This new energy that I speak of is already here, for those willing to surrender and work in harmony with the energies around us allowing all to be revealed are seeing through the illusion in every situation that they once judged. Nothing is as it seems in our three dimensional world, we need to be open to seeing it through new eyes, mature eyes, that have nothing to do with age but with soul growth.

be fully embraced of course we must be patient with all those souls that seek to follow their own agendas and think they can continue to force their will through to the result their ego requires. They will learn that you cannot be out of alignment with the energies of the planet that you reside on without it causing you great pain and suffering.

When enough souls have surrendered to ‘Thiy will be done in and through me, show me the way’ then we will see peace and answers miraculously appear to all issues that currently appear to have no resolution. There are Angels and Souls on this planet just waiting for the right time to step in and use the knowledge and wisdom within them in all areas that are required to live a harmonious life upon this planet.

We will all desire to live in small communities caring for each other knowing we are all brothers and sisters on the path to enlightenment together.

Till that time comes there is much still to do to assist those who are struggling to see what it is they need to see and what it is they need to release in order to find their way to their own Divine Life Path. So we here at the Adelaide Healing Energy Centre will continue to bring one soul at a time back into alignment.

Activation of Stronger Energies

BY DAVID LANE Much was written about December 2012 and the predictions of what may happen were many and varied.

Six months down the track has put many of these to bed and it may be because the interpretation of the timing was incorrect. It is possible that they may still be awakened in the future.

One very noticeable change that occurred since that time is an increase in the energies flowing into the earth plane. It is more of an increase in the strength or amplitude of the energies that are flowing in rather than an increase in positive energy only. These energies have heightened the power and the effect of our thought patterns.

This is happening on both the conscious and subconscious levels. I have personally witnessed people around me experiencing greater shifts in both the positive and negative aspects of their lives this year.

The intensity of the energies coming in during the months running up to December became increasingly challenging and they were often experienced by our personal life becoming more challenging and emotional. I, and many of my friends commented that life was quite draining towards the close of 2012. We have also commented on how much easier it is to stay balanced and calm this year. Those of us that were aware of, and positively responded to the challenges that were presented to us are highly likely to have found this year a refreshing one. There will also be those who found it hard to rise above the challenges (for all sorts of reasons) and are still trying to master the negatives presented to them.

We know that for energy to exist: it must have opposite polarities made up of positive and negative. The stronger an energy becomes, the stronger the polarities become or; the greater the distance or variance between positive and negative. This difference is often referred to as polarisation.

I.e. imagine two people arguing because they have two different points of view. If they become more defensive then the distance or variance between their points becomes

greater and their argument becomes more polarised. It could be said that their points of view have obviously become very different; like black and white with no grey area. I gave this example to illustrate the effect that stronger energy can have on us. Things become more obvious; like black and white.

These incoming energies have the ability to polarise people with different beliefs into opposing forces.

The polarities of these opposing forces are either positive or negative, however; both of the opposing sides usually believe that they are the positive ones and therefore they are right and the other is wrong.

There is something else going on in the world during this time.

This energy shift that is taking place brings with it a period of chaos.

Why? When there is a transition from one structure to another; there is a period when neither has the major influence or control. This period is without structure and it is therefore chaotic. The transition can take a short time or a long time depending on what influences the change. This is a natural phenomenon of how energy works. What does this mean to the human race?

It has been predicted or prophesized by many people that we are highly likely to be going through such a change at this time. The old paradigm of fear based control, hatred and violence is predicted to be replaced with a more loving, harmonious and tolerant paradigm.

Life on earth may get a lot harder for the bulk of the human race as we pass through the change.

First; we can expect the polarisa-

PsychicREALMS WITH ELISABETH JENSEN

HUNGRY GHOSTS AND HAPPY SPIRITS

During one of a my early teaching visits to Singapore, at a healing centre in the centre of Chinatown, I was wondering what was causing all the noise in the street outside - singing and music including the loud banging of cymbals, then when I went outside there were little bonfires and makeshift altars with food on them everywhere as well. It was “Hungry Ghost Month” in Singapore and the Chinese Opera singers were entertaining the dead, plus feeding them as well.

That visit I was focussing on teaching about Angels and Mediumship – well the Angel Classes went very well but the Mediumship Classes were very difficult! So many Spirits everywhere but not related to or known by any of the students…

I vowed never to return and teach Mediumship during Hungry Ghost Month again! For traditional Chinese this month is devoted to honouring ancestors and feeding and enter taining the Spirits who have been let out of “Hell” during this time. As a medium it’s quite unsettling for me to feel their presence as even all the singing and dancing and food offerings don’t seem to satisfy the Spirits and if I try to talk with them they seem quite lost.

The same unsettled feeling occurs for me at some Psychic Expos and large Mediumship events and

of course in hospitals. I feel all the calling in and simply talking to the spirits during Mediumship Readings and Events is not always enough – you need to ensure they progress fur ther and have healing in The Light or Heaven.

IS MY LOVED ONE HAPPY IN SPIRIT? This is a common question put to a medium during a reading and mostly people in the Spirit World are delighted to be pain and debt free and experiencing an exciting new life. Sometimes I know the loved one is not so happy so after the reading I advise my client I need to send them off to The Light for Healing. This is a simple enough process for a psychic medium to do by simply asking the Angels, especially Archangel Michael, to guide the person towards The Light, then right into The Light.

HOW DO I KNOW IF MY LOVED ONE IS UNHAPPY? Yes, it’s good to learn the signs you have an unhappy Spirit with you. Not much point just entertaining them really – it’s better to find out the cause of the problem then release them to The Light – knowing they CAN STILL RETURN but after the healing time they will feel so happy.

If you feel a presence with you then a feeling of sadness and confusion comes over you – that’s a

Lost Soul! They don’t know they are physically dead and are trying to talk with you usually and frustrated you can’t see or communicate with them.

If you feel a presence then an unexpected pain or ongoing sadness and even later experience depression and low energy levels, again it could be a Lost or Confused Soul with you.

Again the solution is simple – you need to ask the Angels to take them to The Light or get an experienced Psychic Healer to assist you there.

MY HOUSE FEELS HAUNTED! It probably is then! Strange happenings like doorbells ringing when nobody is there, lights going on and off by themselves and things being lost then found again all indicate spirits trying to get your attention.

For about a week or two after death most spirits stay around their loved ones – at least till after their own funeral. At the moment of death, all going well, as the Soul is released from the body they should go to The Light for a short while for some healing and rest. They then return to be with their loved ones till their full transition into the Light where they stay for about a month or often much longer before being ready to return as Happy Spirits i.e. aware their physical body is dead but are emotionally healed and very peaceful about being in the Spirit World.

If these processes don’t occur then you mind find your house feels haunted – either by your loved ones who never could leave you long enough for their own healing or by somebody who died there or once lived there long ago. The solution is the same - to release them to the Light but first it’s usually necessary to find out why they are still there

and talk to them for a while.

There are much darker spirits of course and you may feel very fearful and panicky in their presence or really strange events star t to happen. You need somebody more experienced to deal with them in this case as they need much more help than simply being shown the way to The Light.

HAPPY SPIRITS Helpful and healed they can guide and watch over us. I have LOTS of Happy Spirits with me and they entertain and inspire me constantly – much lower maintenance than most of my earthly friends!

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 holi-

daying 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

PETS

WITH AMANDA DE WARREN

HAVE YOU EVER CONSIDERED A RESCUE PET INSTEAD? Over the years, I’ve had the pleasure of connecting to many wonderful rescue pets that through no fault of their own end up homeless and in need of love and care. Most of the amazing rescue pets just want to put the past behind them and get on with their new lives. It is such a pleasure to make a connection to these beautiful creatures, some of which have had a really bad beginning. I know that having a rescue pet is just so rewarding as I have one of my own. He had a bad start and I can tell you now that because I travel a lot, I was not intending to get another dog. I’m so glad he’s come into my life, and my other dog Kelli and he just love each other. He has done so well and come a long way from his sad beginnings.

Other pets generally adjust quickly to the new pet and many of them seem to already know that this new kid on the block has not had a good start. Other pets are always at the ready to guide this new one – however old and whatever they’ve been through – to the ways of the household and the behaviour expected of them. I’ve seen pets that have been rehoused go from being a nervous wreck to a well-balanced member of the family and quickly adjusting to their new life.

There are some wonderful rescue groups that have had some of these pets for a while and have already started the recovery process. Generally when you get a rescue dog, they have already had vet treatment and been de-sexed and the volunteers that have looked after them know them very well, so they are generally on their way to closure on their past.

As much as I love puppies I think I would still always go for the rescue dog, as over the years I’ve had the pleasure of connecting to many of these awesome pets, including cats, dogs and horses. It’s not for everyone but it’s something to consider and it makes you feel good inside to know you have now helped one of our four legged friends to have a ‘forever home’.

How do I have a great relationship with my pet?

Whether it’s a rescue animal or one

you’ve had since babyhood, this is a question asked by so many pet owners. For so long we underestimated the intelligence of our much loved pets but now we’ve realised they are probably more intelligent than we are.

Animals go by energy more than verbal, as they always have done, and this has evolved over a very long time. If we are feeling sad or upset, we don’t even need to say anything to our pets as they just know we’re not feeling our best and are always the first to give us an unconditional cuddle to make us feel better.

Our pets always need to see us as the leader and if they don’t, then that’s when the problems can start as they may want to try and become that leader. If this is the case, you need to change your energy and the whole household needs to be on the same page. We need to show them love and affection and leadership qualities for them to respect us and this makes them happy with their relationship with us. I have two very large dogs that are very different from each other, but I treat them the same and show them the same respect.

You often see cats that are the leader of the household when it comes to the pack. In fact I know of one cat that lives with seven dogs of all different shapes and sizes and she is definitely the leader. This leadership energy needs to be consistent and shown with love and affection from us to them.

I often suggest that you go and sit with your pet with no distractions and a clear mind and see what they have to say. I think you’ll be surprised at what comes through to you as they are always happy to have a chat. We need to remember that every pet is different with its own special personality – just like us – and what works for one pet may not work for the other.

Horses are another animal that are very sensitive to energy. I’ve had many years of communicating with one Olympic champion, and if the energy of the rider is not what he likes, he’ll just play up constantly.

He just knows when there is an inexperienced rider on him. Leadership

is so impor tant for them as they need to see us as their leader, but in a loving way.

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?

Discover your Psychic in SA Kim Allen

Tarot, Psychometry, Mediumship & Holistic Counselling are tools I use to assist people on their life journey. Spiritual and meaningful messages from those in the Spirit Realm open people’s awareness to make informed choices about their life; receive confirmation of their thoughts & feelings and to find peace. Many unusual psychic experiences during my lifetime eventually led me to look into my ancestry.

Mediumship is a great way to connect to those in the Spirit Realm who have passed. Messages from loved ones in Spirit can ease people’s grief and give hope of the continuance of life after death. “I received a flower reading and a tarot card reading from Kim and I found it to be a lovely experience. Kim was very calm and respectful. She knew personal experiences about me and was very accurate. I am looking forward to my next reading with Kim and another enlightening experience.” – Becky $65.00 Psychic Tarot Reading 45 mins. Phone 0411 417 228 , www.bluebutterflytarot.com.au .

Amanda De Warren

I’m very fortunate to be able to communicate with people’s loved ones who have passed over. What makes me different from many other mediums is that I also have the gift of connection to animals – passed over or living.

This has brought such comfort to people’s lives, especially when I’ve been able to connect with a missing pet or one who’s got a mystery illness. The satisfaction of reuniting an owner with their beloved pet or helping improve the animal’s health is immense, and even if the missing pet has communicated that they’ve passed on, the owner is so grateful for the closure this brings.

I am a spiritual intuitive reader, traditional Usui Reiki Master/Teacher (Nat. Accred. Cert 4). My family all ‘tuned’ in to each other – I thought

this was normal, although at school I felt different to others.

By high school, I realised I helped people through friendliness and listening to their problems. (Compassion). Years later, I was told I was a ‘channel’ (Medium) naturally connected to Spirit, which answered my question of why I received ‘higher knowledge’ in my mind. In my early twenties I studied Astrology, Chinese Horoscopes, Numerology, did ‘I Ching’ readings, and Spiritual Intuitive Readings. My purpose opened up showing my empathy towards others. I have since added Massage, Metaphysics, Meditation, Reflexology, Past Life Regressions, Chakra Balancing, Spiritual Counselling, Reiki and ‘Ghost Busting’.

NO TOUGH TIMES

By Fran Tomlin

With times as tough as they are ‘out there’ in the Material World at this time, with people struggling to make ends meet - those ego driven feelings of panic, anxiety and fear tend to scream silently inside, to surface within us creating frenzied thought patterns & scattering them out into the Ethers like grenades - all of that choked emotion and chaotic confusion contained within those of us leading lives of quiet desperation.

Yet this is the very time, the most impor tant time, to keep one’s focus on the REAL World – the Divine World within – the World far below & deeper, the Wor ld whose entr y point is through the Heart.

Not the Wor ld from which those anxious feelings come, accompanied by the frenetic chitter chatter which clutter the mind.

Those egoic feelings simply cause one to buy into the ‘small’ picture , to invest all well being in the material turbulence of social media and economic climates. None of that belongs in the REAL World ; your Inner World, the TRUE World where YOU are the Creator of your reality.

It is through your thoughts and feelings that you create your World.

Therefore it is imperative NOW more than ever that your focus remains diligently and faithfully centred upon the true nature that is you – that is that you are God experiencing ‘itself’ - that you are ONE with the ALL that IS - in other words you are one of many one’s that make up the ONE – thus are we all connected and this is your true nature , therefore you are the Creator and the Creation. So, it stands to reason then, that if you keep focused upon this truth you can, and do, create your World - a different, more abundant, prosper-

ous & healthy World simply by acknowledging that truth, by knowing and then actively thinking that knowing into each moment, putting those thoughts & feelings out into the Ethers, thereby creating & attracting to you your Glorious Life. *Copyright Fran Tomlin.

Cathryn Jane Neill, PhD

My passion for alter native health care began several decades ago. While exploring various complementary therapies for my own well-being, my true path became clear after meeting Elisabeth Jensen at Isis Mystery School. A deep connection with Isis, Ancient Egyptian Goddess of Healing and Miracles, resulted in three amazing spiritual journeys to Egypt, and extensive study to become an Advanced Practitioner and Authorised Teacher of Isis Lotus Healing Level 1 and Angel Miracles 1 & 2.

From my nursing background, I understand many health-related issues, and have helped people with various physical, emotional and spiritual concerns through gentle, caring, and insightful healing.

Through my Wings of Isis healing practice I offer Isis Lotus Healing including karmic release, soul re-

trieval, alchemical healing, and Hypnotic Spiritual Journeys into past lives, plus Angel Miracles, group meditations, the Oneness Blessing, psychic readings, channelling, crystal healing, and Therapeutic Touch.

Formerly a university teacher, I now enjoy introducing my students to Angels, other Light Beings especially the Divine Feminine energy of Isis, plus healing, miracle creation, psychic skills, and life-changing new spiritual experiences – a huge privilege! I am affiliated with Isis Mystery School and hold membership of the International Institute for Complementary Therapists and Australian Psychics Association.

Cheryl has been a Psychic Medium Healer Teacher of 20 years. “I

was absolutely blown away and got everything out of it that I wanted and needed, and then a whole lot more.” - Pauline 2011. My psychic gifts came more fully into my conscious awareness during a healing journey following an accident over 20 years ago, broadening through study, practice and learning. Working as a Psychic, Medium, Healer, Empath and then Teacher since 1993, in 2009 I was awarded ‘Psychic of the Year SA’ and founded the Adelaide Mystery School. My blessed 20 years as a Professional Psychic Reader rests, mostly, upon good accuracy and a genuine unconditional love and compassion for, and continuing desire to assist & serve, others. In Psychic Readings I will ‘hear’, ‘see’, ‘feel’ and just ‘know’ things, working with numerology, the Tarot and my guides, Quan Yin and Archangel Michael, to bring information from the highest level. Initially ‘tuning in’ myself for information, we then focuss more specifically on what you want from the reading, answering questions or looking at areas of life or situations you wish to gain insight into. Loved ones in Spirit often come into the reading, and occasionally become the whole reading! “Your reading was fantastic, insightful, accurate and a true inspiration to me. It has given me a new sense of self worth and direction”. - Michelle 2008.

The Way of Liberation An Interview

with Adyashanti

Continued from page 4 their essence and as you said there’s a journey after that … there can be a flip flopping that takes place, as you attempt to authentically live it in the world … the liberation aspect of it.

It can take a long time I suppose or it can take a short time depending on your own journey, that’s one of the major challenges from my understanding. I mean waking up is one thing but then actually staying awake and living that truth is what it’s really all about isn’t it?

Adyashanti: Yeah of course … yeah, yeah, otherwise it’s just like nice little private experience you have …

Leo: So can you talk about that.

Because I mean a lot of people may have touched these places but then they struggle with their false selves, they struggle with their identification with their minds, they still go flip flopping around in all their stuff.

What needs to happen for us to really plough through this stuff and to really make it reality?

Adyashanti: Yeah … it’s a great question, I mean probably most of the questions I get, and a lot of teachers now get has something to do with exactly what you’re talking about. Well I think again, it varies from one individual to another but one of the things that is a commonality when people have a real awakening is usually they have sort of a honeymoon period and that’s when everything seems to flow. And their mind, and their conditioning, and their ego isn’t bothering them and all just seems to be very effortless and easy. And then for probably 99% of the people at some point their psychology begins to revert itself to some degree, depending on how deep the awakening was, to how great an impact, or how much that sort of divided psychology asserts itself again. For most people there will be some amount of it.

And then people have to start to be able to stay awake. The question becomes “How is it that I ‘un-enlighten’ myself?” … To investigate exactly how your own conditioning holds you out of that consciousness.

How does it do whatever things you haven’t dealt with? What are things that your psychology is trying to avoid? You know, there’s a whole array of issues that could come up and do come up for people. And that’s a really big part of having a cer tain amount psychological coherence. It’s not necessary in order to awaken but it’s absolutely necessary in order to have it become an effor tless expression of who you are in your being. So initially it has to deal with the psychology and that’s different person to per-

son and there’s a lot more than that. Beyond that then you get into much more of, I guess you’d say the esoteric realms of awakening. For instance, when people awaken they all have this experience or insight that there is no separate self … or there is no self. And then later of course that self that didn’t seem to exist comes back. (Laughter) Even though they know that the self is not there, that it doesn’t have any existence, it can still create a lot of problems. And so one of the things that are mistaken in a lot of modern spiritual circles is that there is a spot that if they have seen or have had an insight that there is no self, that that is the same as the actual experience of having no self. And the two are very very different. You can have an insight that there is no essential separate self but to actually experience the absence of that separate self is completely different than the insight of it. And a lot of times people equate the two as the same thing. They’re not the same thing and to go from the insight of no self to actually living it, that’s where the self has to be, I guess you could say, emptied out. Even if you see that it doesn’t have any inherent or fundamental reality, it doesn’t mean that the movement of it, that the psychology doesn’t have any impact.

Enza: And how do you empty out this self that doesn’t want to go away or this self doesn’t exist? (Laughter)

Adyashanti: It’s a paradox isn’t it?

The deeper we go into the truth, the deeper the paradox can get. Well the first thing that has to happen is that you have to star t to get real. You have to be willing to encounter your experience as it actually is, and stop pretending that it’s different than it is. Especially when someone has had a really deep insight, it can be really humbling to see that there’s still a lot of confusion here, there’s still a lot of division. To just to kind of humble yourself to acknowledge what your experience is and just to get really real on a human level. In the way that I teach, it’s a combination of questioning and meditation.

I think in one sense meditation is really more useful after awakening, when you combine deep meditation with deep enquiry in a very precise way … that’s really difficult to explain in a short amount of time because it’s unique for each person. But for most people it’s a real journey from their awakening to liberation. It varies from person to person, but for those who don’t have tremendously overwhelming psychological division, that don’t have some horrendous absolutely traumatic background, like so many people do unfor tunately, but for somebody who’s relatively psychologically coherent, between their awakening and settling into their real enlightenment and liberation, if everything goes right it’s probably in 5 to 15 years. Every once in a while you have someone who just takes that leap and it just happens but that’s a few times in a generation.

Adyashanti will be holding a 7 day silent retreat out in Mangrove, NSW in October 2013. For more details on his events, books and teachings visit www.adyashanti.org

SUE BUNNETT

Sue Bunnett began her home based business Isis Blessings located in the beautiful countr y town of South Australia in 2009.

Those who know Sue describe her as a very warm and caring woman who passion in life is to help empower others reach their optimal level of health and well-being. Her background encompasses twenty years in health care, previously as an Enrolled and Registered Nurse and for the past 10 years as a Community Mental Health Nurse.

Over this time Sue has gained a broad knowledge and deep understanding of the health problems people experience and the many pressures of life that one is faced with.

She has researched into and gone on to study many Eastern therapies that complement our medical model and can offer you a choice of therapies including Reiki, Isis Lotus Healing, Therapeutic Touch, Hypnotherapy and Remedial Massage Therapy. Many clients have reported experiencing a feeling of total relaxation and inner peace after receiving their healing treatments and have continued to incorporate their chosen alternative therapy as part of their ongoing health care.
