14 You attract what you are – not what you want

25 Gratitude – a key to happiness

Is it possible that there is a pyramid near Gympie? While it’s not your typical pyramid shape, according to lots of folks, this rather birthday-cake-looking hill was in fact a significant ancient site. The problem is that now the Queensland government wants to bulldoze the lot for a highway.

08 The 7 spiritual keys to overcoming life’s challenges and obstacles

15 Complementary health update A bitter pill?

Joseph Law

Tracey Hogan

If life is falling short of our expectations, we need to establish the right frame of mind to better deal with life’s challenges. These seven keys will help.

What would you do if everywhere you looked you read that you could increase your risk of death if you took a multivitamin or an iron supplement? Would you believe it? The recent findings from the Iowa Women’s study say that your risk can increase by 2.3% just by taking a supplement, but if you dig a little deeper, all is not as it seems.

10 The art of remembering who you really are A.C. Ping Throughout the ages, shamans and spiritual teachers of different lineages have proposed that we come into this life with a specific purpose; one that we conveniently forget as we incarnate.

12 What do we need for our lives today? – Native American, J. Reuben Silverbird, answers seven questions Jutta Swan J. Reuben Silverbird, the son of a Nedhni Apache Wise Man and Cherokee Medicine Woman, was born blind. Miraculously, at the age of four and a half, he gained his eyesight. He teaches that we belong to Mother Earth; Mother Earth does not belong to us.

The way the law of attraction is often discussed may be naïve, reinforcing the greed and narcissism of the ego, without the development of wisdom or selfawareness. The truth may be not so much that we attract what we want, but what we are.

Ayurveda is the ancient medicine of India, which focuses on holistic health by maintaining an internal balance of one’s individual constitution. It treats the symptoms of a disease as a product of a fundamental imbalance within an individual and thus treats the imbalance rather than the symptom.

Dear Fellow Travellers

ho are you? That’s a bit of a flavour of the month for me. I thought I knew who I was, but I had it shown to me the other day that I was working heaps from the I-self and not acknowledging the me-self well enough. What’s the difference? Well, I need to start with a few words of heavy stuff about that question. According to Hermetic philosophy, we can use our consciousness to tune into this subject. At first we decide that we are ‘I Am’. Then we’re satisfied with that but, if we go deeper, we see that the ‘I Am’ may be separated into two distinct aspects which work in conjunction. These are ‘I’ and ‘Me’. Hermes taught that the I-self is the masculine principle and the me-self the feminine, and that gender is in everything. (Gender and sex are not the same.) Okay, that’s enough of the dry stuff. The point that really struck a chord for me is that I have been ignoring the needs of my inner ‘me’, the feminine self that wants protection and heaps of other feminine, nurturing things. I’ve been riding roughshod over her needs and just pushing on for 22 years of doing this magazine, always under the guise of ‘the show must go on’ – interpreted by me as ‘the deadline must be met at all costs’. I realise I’ve been quite imbalanced in my approach to life. So watch this space as I move more into balance and acknowledge the long-serving and long-suffering inner me. I’m giving you this inner detail as I sense that there are other strong women reading this who keep working from the powerful side of their personalities and push on relentlessly. It’s hard to know where to start to bring the softness forward, since softness doesn’t appear to be what is needed to meet the deadline – it’s drive, determination, staying up for a few more hours when you really want to go to bed. I’ve struggled with this problem for years and have not known how on earth I could fix it, but I was speaking with a lady called Kristine Fry the other day and she suggested that I just need to start by acknowledging that inner feminine me and say, ‘Hey – I know you want to go to bed, and I sympathise with your needs, but I am sorry that it’s just not on the agenda right now. However, when this is over, we will have a treat.’ (No, not chocolate – a massage or a walk in the park.) I often pester my friend Rudran Brannock. He’s an expert on masculinity and femininity, and he told me a few years ago that I had sacrificed the feminine principle to be in business in a man’s world. Since then I’ve kept trying to ‘get’ it. How could I still be in

business and yet do it in a female way? I figured there had to be an answer. Then, last time I pestered him to go over the scenario again, he made it very clear that the masculine arises out of the feminine, and that it is a cycling sort of thing. The scene he set was, “You’ve been working too hard. You see the end in sight and so you yearn for a holiday. You set the schedule and book the flights (working from the masculine). Then you get to the island and you lounge on the beach and people feed you (you’re in the feminine then).” Suddenly that cleared things for me. It’s also like the Hermetic people say – neither feminine nor masculine principle is capable of operating without the assistance of the other. Woohoo! So I don’t have to throw the masculine out. I just have to cycle. Golly, how did I get so deep in this? It all started with looking at the articles we have in this issue and noticing that one of them is called, ‘The art of remembering who you are’ and another is ‘You attract what you are’ – both very good fodder for growth. Perhaps you’ll explore how you are with the balance of feminine and masculine. Yes, we all have to balance it of course – it’s not just a girly thing. Actually, turn to page 29 for an interesting take on women of today – that they are either like Barbie dolls or like men. Part of my acknowledgement of the me-self, is to recognise that I must put the webinars and ebooks into recess for a few months. As you may know, there are two MBS festivals in November (get your coupon on p.5). How can I possibly do those, and also publish magazines and ebooks, and also conduct webinars? Then of course we have the silly season and holidays. So watch out for webinars and ebooks again next March. I wish you a rewarding read from these pages, leading to a fruitful burgeoning of ahas. Next month we have some interesting goodies for you – a return of Raym Richard’s column, Urban Shaman; a hypnotherapy editorial feature – articles from Leon Cowen and Steve Carey – principals of the main Sydney and Melbourne hypnotherapy colleges, who both happen to be great wordsmiths; and another feature with two fabulous articles on walking the Camino way – and beaut photos too. Also next month the booking date is earlier – 9th November for December – as we have to slot in with the MBS festivals. Oh, and did you realise that the December magazine has a shelf life of about six weeks? With love

Gympie Pyramid in peril IS IT POSSIBLE THAT THERE IS A PYRAMID NEAR GYMPIE? WHILE IT’S NOT YOUR TYPICAL PYRAMID SHAPE, ACCORDING TO LOTS OF FOLKS, THIS RATHER BIRTHDAY-CAKE-LOOKING HILL WAS IN FACT A SIGNIFICANT ANCIENT SITE. THE PROBLEM IS THAT NOW THE QUEENSLAND GOVERNMENT WANTS TO BULLDOZE THE LOT FOR A HIGHWAY. BY GORDON DE L. MARSHALL PICTURES COURTESY OF MICK DALE AND BRETT GREEN, THE GYMPIE PYRAMID STORY DVD

COPY OF ORIGINAL SKETCH BY JOHN GREEN

he Gympie Pyramid, near the town of Gympie in Queensland, has long been a source of fascination for people from around the world as well as Australia, and the subject of a great many claims about its origin and true purpose. However, all this will come to an end in the near future if the Queensland government goes ahead with its plans to bulldoze the pyramid in order to construct a highway. What is known as the Gympie Pyramid is a rounded hill north of the town of Gympie, which has had stone terraces cut into the sides. It is not a pyramid in the Egyptian or South American sense. Its interior remains unknown and has been a source of speculation, and there are believed to have been three or four entrances leading into it. The pyramid is 30.4 metres (100ft) high and has six stone

terraces varying from ten metres wide at the bottom to two metres wide towards the top, which incorporate some natural rock features. Stones for many of the terraces have been shaped, and some of the larger stones would be extremely heavy. On the summit is a sort of ‘turret’, an upstanding section made of drystone wall with a depressed centre, and nearby there are two very heavy stone grinders, which may have been used to prepare ritual offerings. The terraces were believed to have been three metres high, but have become lower due to cattle and weathering. The pyramid is thought to have been terraced originally on four sides, but much of these have been destroyed by bulldozing and settlers carting away the stone. An interesting little stonelined room has recently been found at the base of the pyramid. The pyramid currently has large trees growing on it, which make it difficult to recognise at a distance, or to photograph. When the pyramid was first discovered the summit is said to have had 13 pillars surrounding a round stone table with a hole in the centre. These are believed to have been taken by early settlers, along with other standing stones, many of which carried symbols; and also a stone gateway. Fortunately drawings of these

were recorded in a diary by John Green, a great grandfather of Brett Green, a local historian who has spent much of his life researching the pyramid, and is the author of a book entitled The Gympie Pyramid Story. Gold was found at Gympie in 1867, and settlement began from that year. Early settlers quite naturally regarded the pyramid as an easy source of stone and it was quarried to supply new buildings, doing much damage. The pyramid became a source of speculation and interest from the 1950s as strange phenomena were reportedly seen or experienced on it, and unusual artefacts found nearby, suggesting contact with earlier civilisations. There has been no archaeological excavation of the pyramid. An archaeological survey was undertaken by Michael Morwood in 1957. He attributed the construction of the terraces to Italian wine growers or other immigrants in the nineteenth century. However, that idea was laid to rest by archaeologist Greg Jefferys, who has done two surveys (1990 and 2007) and found no trace of cultivation of any kind. It is not an Aboriginal site, and Aborigines are, if anything, afraid of the place.

The original purpose of the pyramid is not known. It is not a fort, but it is an energy centre, and may have been a ritual site. Dowsers have found that the pyramid is on a major energy line, and that energy rays out in the four directions, like a Maltese cross. It may serve the function of drawing energy down (or up) and then radiating it over the countryside. There is a powerful healing vortex at the top, near the grinders, and several people, including local resident and pyramid supporter, Mick Dale, have experienced very considerable healing there. Brett Green mentions that local residents used to see ‘nim-nim’ lights on top of the pyramid, and other phenomena have been encountered. One of the most frequently encountered phenomena is the vision of soldiers wearing bronze helmets and holding shields. Several people have encountered white-clad female spirits, who have identified themselves as guardians of the site. The most recent encounter took place in August this year when clairvoyant Michael English encountered two white-clad ladies on the summit. One of these was blonde and wore a heavy gold necklace. She gave her name as Nitarla, and said she was one of three

In this CD you’ll discover: How a Sydney life coach fulfilled his calling to launch and fund his own Not-For-Profit organization… and has moved to New York City to expand! The secret to growing a client list without spending money or having any experience in sales.

contact in the area, and seismic uplift has since emptied the lakes. People feel there is much more to be learned from the Gympie Pyramid, and it should at least be properly excavated. It is an energy centre, and a tourist attraction for Gympie. Other pyramids, according to repute, have been sighted around Australia, and a prophecy exists that a pyramid will be found in central Australia this century, which will be an important spiritual centre. What can you do to try to save the pyramid if we are dealing with an obdurate government? You can write to your local MP of course – always powerful to pester them. On an inner level, if you meditate, or belong to or know of a meditation or ritual group, start working by meditating on saving the pyramid, and ask any groups you know to do the same. Rather than work on just stopping demolition, concentrate on seeing the pyramid surviving as we want it to, and being looked after. Faith can move mountains, and in this case can save one.

How a Queensland single Mum created a successful life coaching business from home that gave her the life style and connection with others she always dreamed of. How Andrea H. was able to step out of the full-time job that was stifling her, into a coaching business that transformed her life as she earned income from assisting others. And much, much more… This remarkable CD will inspire you, motivate you and open your eyes to a world of new possibilities. You’ll discover how to stay true to yourself and succeed in a new coaching career. You’ll know how to attract a never ending stream of new clients without invading their personal space.

such guardians. Nitarla said they had been unable to stop the destruction of the pyramid, but had elected from early times to stay on and try to protect it. The present writer also unexpectedly encountered a white-clad lady, this one with black hair, a couple of days later on the highest terrace. This lady said nothing but bade him welcome by gestures. Clairvoyants say that there was originally a vortex on the top used to help spacecraft take off. This was destroyed when the pyramid was bombarded by banana-shaped aircraft, possibly from Atlantis. In recent times the summit of the pyramid was bulldozed by a person who wanted to build a house there. In doing so he is said to have destroyed the remaining two columns and dumped them in a mine shaft. However, after that he had a lot of illnesses, bad dreams and mechanical trouble, and started seeing figures in his house near the pyramid. He was thoroughly ‘spooked’ and left the area. Several unusual objects have been found in an around the pyramid. These include a carved, yellow stone head suggesting South American influence, an ancient statuette of the Indian goddess Lakshmi, a Grecian urn, an ancient Chinese bronze teapot and an apparent stone statue of an ape-like figure, known as ‘The Gympie Ape’. Also a piece of ‘bloomery’ smelted iron, a type of smelting not encountered in Australia. According to Aboriginal legend, lakes or seas used to extend from the coast almost to the base of the pyramid, which is apparently supported by geological evidence. This would account for foreign

The 7 spiritual keys to overcoming life’s challenges and obstacles IF LIFE IS FALLING SHORT OF OUR EXPECTATIONS, WE NEED TO ESTABLISH THE RIGHT FRAME OF MIND TO BETTER DEAL WITH LIFE’S CHALLENGES. THESE SEVEN KEYS WILL HELP. BY JOSEPH LAW

ne of the most admired men in the world, Nelson Mandela, was gaoled for 27 years before he was elected the president of South Africa. One of the world’s richest men, Bill Gates, asked him, “Most people think you are a saint. Did you hate the people who put you in prison?” Nelson Mandela replied, “Yes, I did – for 12 years I hated them. Then I realized they couldn’t take my mind or my heart away.” Bill Gates said Nelson Mandela taught him about living.

TRANSFORM YOUR LIFE!

Most of us do not need to experience such extreme circumstances to know the power of our mind to make choices. It can start off with something as small as how we deal with congested traffic, other people’s opinions, investment losses, our job made redundant or something that may fall short of our expectations. Once we have established the right frame of mind and attitude, we will be more resourceful, flexible and creative when dealing with life’s challenges. The following keys will help you to develop this frame of mind:

1) Acceptance â&#x20AC;&#x201C; With the globalisation of jobs, financial turmoil, and natural disasters that are impacting the world today, all of which are inevitable and ongoing phenomena, the ability to accept change is crucial. Only change itself is unchanged. To attain peace of mind, you must be able to accept that the challenge of ongoing change is an inevitable part of life; it will occur with little or no control on your part. This doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean that you disengage from life altogether but you have the understanding of what can and cannot be changed in your life, and the wisdom to know the difference. 2) Learn to embrace uncertainty â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Steve Jobs, founder of Apple, was fired from his company at the age of 30. Even though it seemed like he had lost everything, he then formed another company called NeXT, and in a remarkable turn of events, Apple bought NeXT. Jobs returned to Apple to steer the company to where it is today, leading the technology market with ground-breaking products such as the iPhone, iPod and iPad. Steve Jobs said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t connect the dots looking forward. You can only connect them looking backwards; so you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to

trust in something â&#x20AC;&#x201C; your gut, destiny, life, karma.â&#x20AC;? 3) Understand the cyclical nature of life and events â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Another empowering way to approach life is to view challenges as a lesson, or better yet, as an opportunity for you to evolve and improve as a person. Life is a cycle. According to ancient Chinese wisdom, for every fall there is a rise, and for every rise there is a fall. If you are not too attached to your successes, you will not be affected by the natural downfalls that inevitably happen in life. This is what the Buddha referred to as the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;middle wayâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; â&#x20AC;&#x201C; when you go with the flow of life rather than work against it, which is the principle embedded in Tao Te Ching, one of the wisest books in Chinaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s history. 4) See the glass half full; not half empty â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Back in the 80s, when the billionaire real estate developer Donald Trump was billions in debt and many of his peers were going bankrupt, he focused on making new deals as a way to feel good about himself and the situation rather than dwelling on the negative. When I decided to leave my comfortable and lucrative position in the financial services industry, one of Australiaâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most highly paid CEOs in the financial industry told me that there are two kinds of

response when people are confronted with change: they either lose themselves or they find new meaning in life. 5) Maintain a sense of detachment â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Napoleon Hillâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s book Think and Grow Rich affected countless lives. In his last book, Grow Rich with a Peace of Mind (one of the best books I have read), he writes that it had been 80 years in the making. He was inspired one night to type these words: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ultimately, nothing mattersâ&#x20AC;?. He explained this concept to an American president who was on his death bed, and it made a profound difference in helping him pass on with ease. The more we reflect on this, the more profound the realisation. After all, it doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really matter what we do or who we are 50 to 100 years from now. 6) Use the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;law of relativityâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to your advantage â&#x20AC;&#x201C; We experience the world through our senses and mind. It was Albert Einstein who said, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Put your hand on a hot stove for a minute, and it seems like an hour. Sit with a pretty girl for an hour, and it seems like a minute. Thatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s relativity.â&#x20AC;? When I encounter challenges in my life, I look at great men and women in history who overcame insurmountable challenges and succeeded against all odds. Doing this gives me a frame of reference to see how little, insignificant or perhaps

your health, your choice

mundane my problems are, and it also serves as a source of inspiration: it reminds me of the power of the human spirit. 7) Expect the unexpected â&#x20AC;&#x201C; The key to developing mental and emotional equilibrium in life is to adopt an attitude of â&#x20AC;&#x153;expecting the unexpectedâ&#x20AC;?. If you expect things to go smoothly all the time, you will inevitably meet with stress and anxiety. Do not look for perfection in an imperfect world. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean that you do not care about the outcome at all, or that you have no goals or expectations. Rather, it means that you are still actively working towards a favourable outcome while remaining detached from the factors that you have no control over anyway, once you have done your part. It means having the mental clarity to affect the things you have control over, but to let go of things beyond your control, and to have the wisdom to know the difference.

The art of remembering who you really are THROUGHOUT THE AGES, SHAMANS AND SPIRITUAL TEACHERS OF DIFFERENT LINEAGES HAVE PROPOSED THAT WE COME INTO THIS LIFE WITH A SPECIFIC PURPOSE; ONE THAT WE CONVENIENTLY FORGET AS WE INCARNATE. BY A.C. PING

reality that we can see, touch, smell, taste and hear? Does some part of us desire to reconnect with who we really are and to experience dimensions far richer than the current reality? If this is truly the case – that we are here with a specific purpose – and that the key task to beginning the journey is to remember – then how would we do it?

STEP 1 – YOU CAN’T ‘WORK IT OUT’ The first step in the process is to acknowledge that it isn’t something we can ‘work out’. In fact our rational mind may well be the thing that keeps us trapped within the limitations of our current reality. This is because of what Heidegger termed the ‘concealment of being’. Modern neuroscience reveals to us that the conscious mind is only able to process about 2000 bits of information per second whereas the total mind – subconscious and unconscious is processing something more like 4 billion. What this means is that what you perceive reality to be creates your reality. So, the existential philosopher Descartes actually had it wrong I think when he wrote, “Cognito ergo sum” – “I think, therefore I am”. In fact it should be, “I believe, therefore I am”. By believing reality to be a certain way, your subconscious mind actively filters out anything that doesn’t fit. So the 2000 bits of information that your conscious mind gets will neatly reflect your fixed view of the world.

STEP 2 – YOU CAN’T UNDERSTAND WHERE YOU ARE GOING So, now you have released the belief that you can ‘work it out’ the next step is to become ‘Comfortable in Uncertainty’. The spiritual teacher Gurdjieff wrote, “There are things for the understanding of which a different being is necessary.” Meaning – understanding is linked to being so you won’t even be able to understand certain phenomena until your being has shifted. The paradox here is that your being won’t shift until you let go of your grip on the rational world and give yourself permission to become comfortable in uncertainty. In other words – the world is a mystery and we cannot hope to possibly comprehend it, but we must not stop trying. There is more to the world than you know – so let go.

STEP 3 – ACT COURAGEOUSLY Intuition is stupid and irrational; it makes us do silly things BUT – and here’s the key – its tapping into a deeper knowledge than the rational mind and allowing your to listen, and most importantly to ACT, can connect you with a deeper life path.

n Greek mythology there are five rivers that flow through the realm of Hades, the God of the dead. Before reincarnation souls are made to drink from Lethe, the river of forgetfulness, thus preventing them from remembering their past lives and their current life purpose. Throughout history many spiritual teachers and philosophers have proposed that the key to finding meaning in life is to ‘remember who we really are’ – that there is in fact a part of ourselves that is somehow hidden from our conscious mind. Martin Heidegger, the German ontological philosopher, used Lethe to symbolise the ‘concealment of being’ that he saw as the major problem in philosophy. Heidegger believed that everything had essence but that essence was concealed from humans. Our task is to bring forth out of concealment and into truth. Rudolf Steiner went further when he wrote, “It is often asked why we do not know anything of our experiences before birth or after death. This is the wrong question. Rather, we should ask how we can attain such knowledge.” Many of us feel like we have ‘been here before’ and it is quite common for travellers to experience a déjà vu when visiting a place for the first time. Even more of us have felt the need to experiment with plants and other psychoactive substances. Is this yearning rooted in the deep-seated knowledge that there is more to life than this physical

Life unfolds as we go along and it is only with the benefit of hindsight that events reveal their true meaning. If you reflect now on the key events in your life that have led you to where you are now you may be able to identify three or four major turning points in your life. Now ask yourself – did you plan for these events to occur? Considering where you are now, could you draw a line through time back to these events, opening up the possibility that where you are now created those events in the past not vice versa? If so, could you now find the courage to let go of how you think things might turn out and instead embrace the moment and act courageously on your intuition? If you can do these three things – ❥ let go of the need to ‘work it out’ ❥ embrace uncertainty ❥ act courageously then you are well on the way to remembering who you really are and open to walking a sacred path though life.

Finding the real cause behind a condition using a forensic approach

THE INSIDE STORY ABOUT HOW TO PINPOINT THE REAL CAUSE OF A CONDITION, UNDERSTAND IT AND CLEAR THE WAY FOR A NEW LIFE. A DISCUSSION WITH MARISA RUSSO, AN AWARD WINNING PRACTITIONER WHO BROKE THROUGH A LIFE OF CHRONIC PAIN, DEPRESSION, ADDICTION AND ABUSE.

ll too often, we meet people that have endured continuous pain and suffering for years. Today we hear from one of the few people that have won the battle with chronic conditions and is helping others to break the cycle. Originally, Marisa Russo travelled the world looking for relief from decades of chronic pain, fatigue, depression, addiction and childhood abuse. Whilst on this journey, Marisa found she possessed a gift. Through clearing her own condition, her energetic connection had grown so strong that she could read a person’s body to accurately determine the cause of their condition and know how to bring relief. After working with thousands of clients for nearly 25 years, Marisa knows the mind set, the healing processes and techniques that really work to help people heal. Marisa’s forensic approach to healing uses science and intuition to determine the root of where a condition began. In Marisa’s words, “when the circumstances around the cause are accurately unravelled in detail, it will naturally start a release process.”

Marisa speaks of how we have a physical and energy body. The energy body is like the blueprint of who we really are. Our bodies store a lot of information which can be accessed without our mind getting in the way. Although Marisa physically moves to energy, many bio feedback methods like muscle testing can be used to ‘speak’ to the body. “Repetitive patterns make us who we are today, so a Forensic Healer identifies the patterns that are keeping your pain in motion - the patterns that are not serving you,” says Marisa. “Once your profile and causal pathway have been established, we investigate the age the condition was ignited, the person that was an influence at that time and where, why and how it occurred,” comments Marisa. It seems that the clarity around what created your condition creates a platform of logic and realisation from which to rebound into a new paradigm for your new life. Marisa’s findings suggest that “there is always a life lesson we need to learn when moving beyond chronic conditions. I have witnessed miraculous transformations when

people ‘get this’. Managing our relationships, thoughts, feelings and surroundings are key,” says Marisa. Once the causal relationships are understood, Forensic Healers accurately target the cause which has been opened up during the healing session and release it using the most appropriate healing frequencies. This could be one of the 90+ healing pathways in the Forensic Healing System or integrating one of your existing modalities. “Too often the latest guru will tell you to drop everything you know to follow his path. The Forensic Healing System was designed to create successful practitioners, whether you are just beginning your career, or for advanced practitioners with existing therapy qualifications. The structure of the healing process allows you to integrate analytics and healing corrections you already know.

closely enough to what others and also Mother Earth are saying. The third mistake is to stop LEARNING. We should never think that we already ‘know it all’. Many people do exactly that while speaking to them. What are the three most important tips for lasting health? One message will sum it all up: have a pure mind. Train your mind to think positively and leave only a small room for negative thoughts. If you can focus on that, you will not only be healthier, but also younger and happier. To observe and listen to your body, is another important point. Often, we do not listen enough to our body and eat too much. To drink PURE water is another important aspect. Water is one of the most wonderful nourishments of this world, which we sadly neglect too often. Another tip is to control the intake of alcohol and tobacco. The moment we cannot control this consumption, we become addicted. In all we do, we need to learn not to misuse or overuse. If you had three wishes to fundamentally change the world, what would they be? I would wish that all damage to Mother Earth could be reversed.

I would instill in each family in this world the values of true love and respect. It seems to have been lost all over the world. We need to re-learn the meaning of ‘parents’, ‘father’, and ‘mother’. It relates to the previous wish in that parents understand the responsibility they take on when coming together and bringing a child into this world, that they may learn to guide this beautiful child, rather then disciplining him or her. It is the parents’ responsibility to be a role model. Sadly, with the exception of a few, this equates to a rollercoaster for most, influenced by TV and computer games. In your view, what could an individual do to contribute to living together more harmoniously? One person, especially if in a leader position, should be able to love and respect people to such an extent that s/he will think of them first. Each one of us is a powerful miracle and we have the power of language to communicate with each other in a friendly and peaceful way. I pray we will receive a leader who can encourage and keep world peace, rather than causing death. It is possible to achieve this if we let go of greed and arrogance. We need a leader who considers the needs of others, instead of thinking of themselves, an intelligent person with integrity and

courage to speak the truth, even if it is painful to them. If such a person were to grow up as a child in an environment of pure love and respect, the possibility of his becoming a leader, treating all of humanity with love and bringing peace to the world, would be high. What is your interpretation of the 2012 predictions? I had a vision when I was seven years old. I had quite a life, very interesting in the way that I was born a miracle child. I was born blind and lived in a world of darkness for four and a half years of my life. It was interesting because I learned things that we normally do not learn. At the age of seven I had a very traumatic vision. I thought I had died, drowning. I love the water and swimming. On a very hot July day I went swimming in a reservoir, and by all standards, I drowned. In that drowning period I witnessed everything that is happening today – all the things that we are getting today, the earthquakes, the terrible tragedies of floods, I saw all these things. So I am not surprised with everything that is happening to the world right now, but we have to be very careful. Well, there is not going to be an end of the world – so we can be happy about that, but we are going to witness a lot of things. The

animal kingdom will also move around. We will see animals we haven’t seen before, because the earth is changing. I will say that it’s not just the people of the world are to be blamed for this change, but I think that one slight movement of the earth causes these things to happen. 2012 and 2013 are going to be amazing years. My vision has terrible things happening in 2013, with people disoriented, and we need to bend like the willow tree in the wind. I think that what we have done to encourage this happen is the speed that we are on. It is at a rate that our bodies have to adjust to. Our children born today would seem like they are adjusted to it, but they are going beyond the pace of what the body can take. I think we should strongly pray, and the prayer should be TOGETHER and the prayer should be from the heart in unity. The world has to do this to be able to change around what is happening to Mother Earth, because you know, we belong to Mother Earth; Mother Earth does not belong to us!

You attract what you are – not what you want THE WAY THE LAW OF ATTRACTION IS OFTEN DISCUSSED MAY BE NAÏVE, REINFORCING THE GREED AND NARCISSISM OF THE EGO, WITHOUT THE DEVELOPMENT OF WISDOM OR SELFAWARENESS. THE TRUTH MAY BE NOT SO MUCH THAT WE ATTRACT WHAT WE WANT, BUT WHAT WE ARE. BY MARCUS T ANTHONY

he idea of the law of attraction is as popular today as ever. To generalise, it is assumed that the law of attraction permits one to ‘manifest’ in one’s life what one desires, through focused concentration, or simply believing it enough. Although the mechanism is never clearly explained, the idea is that ‘God’ or ‘the universe’ will give you whatever you want, as long as you get your stuff together. I call this the naïve law of attraction, because my experience leads me to conclude that it is not the whole truth. One of the most successful law of attraction teachers is Dr Wayne Dyer. I read Dyer’s You’ll See It When You Believe It nearly two decades ago. Dyer may well be the most successful ‘new age’ writer/ philosopher in history. Certainly he is right up there with Deepak Chopra, Louise Hay and a few others. For years Dyer has been teaching that one can manifest one’s intention. However in recent years Wayne Dyer has suffered several rather large ego falls. Ego

NOVEMBER 2011

falls are a common human experience. They occur when the ego builds a delusion about who or what it is, and then life offers a ‘correction’. People who write and teach about spirituality are very prone to such falls, and I include myself in that category. A fairly recent example of such an ego fall involves James Arthur Ray, one of the key presenters in The Secret video. The relevant incident occurred near Sedona, Arizona, where Ray’s spiritual retreat, featuring a native American sweat lodge, went horribly wrong. Three of the 50 or so people in the sweat lodge died. All participants paid about US$10,000 for the weekend. There have been allegations of negligence, especially in the setting up of the sweat lodge. Extreme heat and lack of oxygen may have been what caused the deaths of the participants. Ironically, Ray allegedly wrote on his blog, “One has to die before one is spiritually reborn”, the night before the tragedy. Ray was charged with manslaughter, and was found guilty

of negligent homicide in June 2011. Ego falls are not necessarily the end of the world. If the individual permits the consciousness contained in the fall to be fully received, the lesson is learned. The fall may actually presage a period of growth, or a deepening into Spirit. To the outside world, though, it may look like you have failed, been a hypocrite, or just made an idiot out of yourself. Indeed, if the ego does not ‘get’ the lesson, then these judgments may be valid. Wayne Dyer’s falls have been real tests for him. First, his wife, and the mother of his seven children, announced that she was leaving him for another man. Dyer admitted that he had been unfaithful to her. Then he suffered a heart attack, and ended up strapped into a hospital bed, his fate controlled by the impersonal mechanisms of hospital technology. This must have been difficult to endure for a man who had run four miles every day of his life for several decades. Then, as if it couldn’t get any worse, recently he was diagnosed with leukemia. According to Dyer, this is not a life-threatening form of the disease, yet it surely must be a test of his courage and belief structures. I have read one or two interviews that Dyer has given recently, and I must say that my sense of respect for him has deepened. He appears to have accepted the ‘corrections’ that life has shown him. His courageous, honest and direct response to his setbacks shows him to be a man who walks the talk. He has openly discussed the way the ego creates illusions, and the way that the falls it experiences can assist us on our spiritual journeys. The key point is that Wayne Dyer has shifted his understanding of the law of attraction. He now says that we do not attract what we want, but what we are. This should be a wakeup call to many. My interpretation of this is that ‘who we are’ refers to the overall level of consciousness which we have developed in our lives. Our consciousness field as individuals includes the shadow side of the psyche, which lies beyond conscious awareness, by definition. Simply imagining the manifestation of, say, a wonderful house by the sea, may contain little of spiritual value. In particular, the imaginative process requires no reflectivity or contemplation. However, the elevation of consciousness requires developing an increased awareness of the ego, and assuming the right relationship with it. Some new age thinking has the potential of reinforcing the greed and narcissism of the ego, without the development of wisdom or self-awareness. A belief in the naïve law of attraction is potentially regressive, sending us back into the mentality of a self-seeking three year old. How much control do we really have over life? Could the act of surrendering to what is, without judgment, actually have higher spiritual value than attempting

to control what unfolds? For at the heart of much of new age thought lies magical thinking, the idea that all we have to do is think of something, and it will happen. None of what I have written is meant to suggest that the act of imagining desirable futures and taking concrete action towards those futures is invalid. Creativity and living in the world are the ways that we express ourselves that our spirits learn through connection with others and with life itself. Nor have I suggested that there cannot be a perfect overlap between what we want and who we are. In listening to the spirit within we can learn to distinguish between the pull of the ego, and the whispers of the spirit. The former tends to create goals that are selfish and that lead to struggle; while the latter assists us in creative acts that are aligned with the higher calling of our souls, to acts of spontaneous and joyful creativity. I like to think of these as expressions of love. What I am arguing is that it is the relationship that we develop with the world, with what unfolds in our lives that is of greatest spiritual worth, not what we get. Our relationship with the world reflects our level of spiritual maturity. And to develop spiritual maturity requires an inner journey, the development of the right relationship with ego. The naïve version of the law of attraction creates an external focus of attention, and tends to reinforce the delusion that we are the centre of the cosmos. It encourages the narcissistic inner three-year-old to start playing up. The reality is that all of us do not always get what we want or hope for, regardless of how much energy we put into the creative process. Yet there can be joy in letting go, and letting it be. As long as we remain in a subtle state of desire, of wanting and insisting that something be here that is not here, then we exist in a state of rejection of the world we live in. In a sense we reject God, for what is here right now is what God has granted us. As with James Arthur Ray’s ego fall, Wayne Dyer’s setbacks are not just about him, but are lessons for his many followers, and everybody in the new age and popular spirituality movements. In a sense, they are ego falls for all who believe in the naïve law of attraction. In ‘getting it’, Wayne Dyer has offered us all an invaluable gift. Marcus T.

WHAT WOULD YOU DO IF EVERYWHERE YOU LOOKED YOU READ THAT YOU COULD INCREASE YOUR RISK OF DEATH IF YOU TOOK A MULTIVITAMIN OR AN IRON SUPPLEMENT? WOULD YOU BELIEVE IT? THE RECENT FINDINGS FROM THE IOWA WOMEN’S STUDY SAY THAT YOUR RISK CAN INCREASE BY 2.3% JUST BY TAKING A SUPPLEMENT, BUT IF YOU DIG A LITTLE DEEPER, ALL IS NOT AS IT SEEMS. BY TRACEY HOGAN

they were taking the supplements for, and whether they were taking other medications concurrently. There was no dietary analysis undertaken to see whether these women had a healthy diet. If the recent Iowa State Fair delicacies like deep fried butter in batter is any indication of the type of food enjoyed by the people of Iowa, maybe there should have been. Deep fried butter consists of frozen butter dipped into a sticky cinnamon-honey batter, placed in oil until brown, then drizzled with a confectioner’s sugar glaze. (See ABC News website and search “Tasty Trumps Nutritious: Deep-Fried Butter”.) It could be pertinent and interesting to see whether there were increased mortality risks for the women in the Iowa women’s study using particular medications. According to a media release by the Complementary Healthcare Council of Australia’s director, Dr. Wendy Morrow, “As the peak industry body in Australia for Complementary Medicines, we feel that the study and its coverage has raised concern about the safety of multivitamins and individual nutrients for older women. However, leading nutrition experts have noted that it appears to be seriously flawed research – making any recommendations from the findings dubious.” Dr. Morrow went on to say, “There was no way of differentiating between the impact of individual nutrients, when multiple supplements were taken and nutrient measures were unreliable. It also

did not take into account the number of these women who were taking specific supplements because they were unwell. It would be unsurprising that a higher proportion of deaths were in that group, and it is quite possible the deaths were not related to the multivitamins.” Due to the extremely rigorous regulatory protection offered to consumers here in Australia, Dr. Morrow had this to add: “It’s really difficult to draw comparisons between Australia and other countries such as the US, where this study took place. Importantly, we also reiterate and encourage consumers to consult with their health care professionals when thinking about their supplementation needs. We also stress that nutrition, lifestyle and supplementation need to be viewed overall, not in isolation of each other.” There are many studies on the benefits of particular vitamin and mineral supplements – so before you throw out your supplements, do some further reading and speak to your health care professional for further information. To read the details go to: Arch Intern Med. 2011;171(18):1625-1633. doi:10.1001/ archinternmed.2011.445

here was a furor in nutrition and complementary medicine circles during the month of October, when it was reported that women had an increased mortality (death) rate when taking dietary vitamin and mineral supplements. With Americans spending approximately $27 billion per year on supplements, it’s big business. Dr. J Murso and associates analysed data from the Iowa Women’s Health Study of 38 772 older women with a mean age of 61.6 years. The women reported the supplement use in 1986, 1997, and 2004. Through December 31, 2008, a total of 15,594 deaths (40.2%) were identified through the State Health Registry of Iowa and the National Death Index. It was reported that multivitamins had an absolute risk increase of death by 2.4%, vitamin B6 4.1% increase, folic acid 5.9%, iron 3.9%, magnesium 3.6%, zinc 3.0%, and copper 18.0% increase, when compared to nonuse of these supplements. Using calcium supplements was found to reduce mortality by 3.8%. From this it was concluded that in older women commonly used dietary vitamin and mineral supplements may be associated with increased total mortality risk; with a strongest association with supplemental iron. In contrast to the findings of many studies, calcium is associated with decreased risk. It neglected to relate these findings to the overall health of the women, what

WHAT IS AYURVEDIC MEDICINE? The difference between allopathic Western medicine and the ancient Eastern medicines is the difference between treating the symptom vs. treating the cause on a whole-body level. Intuitively, we understand the necessity to repair problems on the fundamental level. We also know that the human body is the deepest, most complex network on which our health depends. Thus, it seems counterintuitive that we would allow the fundamental levels of our health to remain unbalanced as we treat only the topical symptoms for a temporary ‘cure’. If this basic contradiction still does not convince you of the merits of alternative health practices, let me continue. Contemporary medicine boasts decades of medical advancements, billions of dollars of government research dollars and countless health professional jobs; however, contemporary medicine has yet to alleviate some of the population’s basic medical ailments. Why is this? Simply, the scope of allopathic medicine is limited to a reductionist paradigm of health and wellbeing. Western medicine focuses on curing the symptoms, suppressing the discomfort and morphing the physical disturbances as to mimic health. Western medicine fails to take into consideration the entire being – the holistic approach of healing. Thankfully, ancient wisdom

is picking up the pieces where the contemporary medicine is lacking.

AYURVEDIC HEALTH Ayurveda is literally the ‘science of life’. It was developed over 5000 years ago with the origins of Hinduism making it the oldest form of organised medicine to be widely practised. Ayurveda created the roots of all ways of medicine today; yet, its essence has been lost throåugh the twisting and tainting of modern thinking. Ayurveda treats health as a whole-being problem. It does not treat the symptoms but its diagnosis is based on the fundamental imbalances of an individual personality. In Ayurveda , holistic balance is accomplished through life’s four aspects: 1) physical/mental health, 2) career or life purpose, 3) social relationships, and 4) spirituality. All of these aspects have a deep interconnectivity, none being mutually exclusive. All aspects of life are apart of ‘the one’ and none exists in isolation. As these aspects become unbalanced, disease states manifest. In Ayurveda , the physical distress is always secondary to the underlying emotional or mental disturbance. The primary dictum of Ayurveda is to heal the emotional wounds, balance the mental disturbances and, finally, create harmony continued on page 18

in the physical attributes. In stark contrast to the Western paradigm, Ayurveda believes cancer to be an emotionally caused disease. It is not a consequence of some essential molecular pathway going into disarray, but is created by an outward lack of purpose or sadness. Without a purpose and passion, the individual creates life inside of them to compensate, and this ‘life’ is cancer. As foreign as these concepts are, how can we sum up what it means to be healthy? It is simple actually! There are three criteria which must be fulfilled: A balanced inheritance (no karmic disease, favourable genetic predisposition) A good quality of spirit (emotional, mental, spiritual) A healthy lifestyle (diet and physical activity)

The root of Ayurveda lies in the three principles of creation that underlie every aspect of life: the gunas. The three gunas are sattwa, rajas and tamas respectively, corresponding to the birth and creation of life, the passage of life and finally, the end of life. From the creation principle, the five essential elements (mathabbutas) of life emerge: ether, air, fire, water and earth. From these five elements and the mixing with eternity, life erupts. Thus, everything that is a part of the creation, ourselves included, is a composition of the elements on the most fundamental level. Ayurvedic healing works at this fundamental, metaphysical level. Every ailment is seen as an imbalance of the elements in the person and to ‘cure’ the person’s grief, balance is restored. This is done through diet, lifestyle, mental, social and spiritual practices.

PHYSICAL MANIFESTATIONS Parallel to the gunas of creation are the three constitutions or bio-energies of the human body: doshas. Respectively, the doshas are vata, pitta and kapha. There is no allopathic equivalent; however they can be conceptually associated with the three basic body types: ectomorph, mesomorph and endomorph. Each dosha is associated with a set of characteristics into which a person can be categorised. Usually, each person has a propensity towards one particular dosha but will have aspects of all three. We are born with this inherent partition of physical attributes (prakruti or nature of constitution) and it is the balance of these attributes which contributes to our overall physical balance. Despite the inherent imbalance of the doshas created through our prakruti, there are many external factors that can contribute to their imbalance. First, the seasons and even the time of the day can influence your dosha prominence. Second, sensory experiences, either a lack or excess, can impose imbalances. Finally,

your actions and thoughts can create disturbances in this balance. The doshas are of fundamental importance as it is their imbalance which leads to disease and it is the balancing of these imbalances which creates the wisdom behind Ayurvedic medicine. For you, knowing your dosha allows you to understand your inherent personality and evolve a healthier state of being. You will be aware of the foods that cause you distress and also what you can do in your everyday life to avoid aggravating your natural tendencies and strengthening your weakness. So, what is your dosha prominence? Look at the chart above and find where the majority of your attributes fall. Simply, wherever you place the most mental checks, becomes your prominent dosha. As mentioned, a balanced dosha reflects optimal health. If you are predominant in a particular category, look for these signs indicating a balanced dosha :

PITTA A balanced pitta-dominant individual will be warm and have clear thoughts. They will boast a medium balanced build and be apt

at sports. They will have the tendency to be leaders through their passionate nature. Their intellect will be sharp and their ambition high. In their career, they are often keen entrepreneurs.

VATTA A balanced vatta nature will be of thin build, house dry skin and voluminous hair. Their overall character is light and their demeanour friendly. They will be very prone to change and hence very indecisive, often moving quickly between tasks. Their creativity will be boundless and their laughter contagious.

KAPHA Finally, a balanced kapha nature will wear a large, heavy build with flowing oily skin and hair. Their calm and easygoing nature creates a slow intention. Serene and peaceful, their relationships are often steady and supportive with an undying loyalty. So, what are we like if our doshas are unbalanced? Basically, take the extreme of each of the balanced qualities and place those at the face of your personality.

Pittas will be excessively irritable and prone to temper tantrums, vattas will be consistently worried and always running around with a hectic flare, and kaphas overly lethargic and slow. Thankfully, the basis of Ayurveda medicine is to ‘cure’ these imbalances to restore your natural perfection, and the best part is that Ayurveda advocates this change through completely natural means, without drugs, and without doctors. All you have to do is practise a balancing lifestyle, minorly tweaking your daily life to include a balancing aspect. Central to these balancing practices is your diet. Refer to the next month’s chart to see how you can balance your dosha! Also in the conclusion next month, you will find out what foods you should be eating for your dosha, food preparation, cleansing and consciousness and food.

AUSTRALIAN COLLEGE OF TRADITIONAL CHINESE MEDICINE AND QIGONG Through 30 years of study, training, research and treatment in Qigong and Traditional Chinese Medicine, Master Louis Chunjie Liu has determined the most effective and reliable methods of healing, along with efficient and simple ways of transmitting this knowledge. This has led to his international renown as a Qigong Master and healer. Master Liu operates the Australian College of Traditional Chinese Medicine and Qigong in McKinnon, south of Melbourne. Since 1992, the College has offered a variety of high quality health services, including:

Traditional Chinese Medicine Clinic The clinic treats people with health complaints ranging from minor allergies and injuries to chronic conditions and complex diseases. Depending on the condition being treated, Master Liu may use herbal medicine, acupuncture, acupressure, Qigong energy healing, massage, or moxibustion, or may prescribe a Qigong form for the patient to practise at home. Often a combination of these modalities is required to facilitate a successful recovery.

Qigong Training The college is a centre for group and individual training in the Xing Ming Qigong system in order to improve health and vitality, and refine the bodys energies. Private training by appointment.

continued

Group training takes place via regular short courses and workshops.

Certificate In Advanced Qigong Studies This 2-year course teaches students how to apply techniques and principles in healing others. The first intake of students are currently nearing the end of their first year of study, and are in the process of developing practical skills and usable knowledge necessary to become successful Medical Qigong Healers. The course is comprised of the beginner and advanced levels of the Xing Ming Qigong System; TCM and Medical Qigong theory; a grounding in acupressure, massage, moxibustion and cupping; diagnosis; study of the classics of Chinese medicine; business skills; and supervised clinical practice. It is suitable for anyone with an interest in healing, but may be especially beneficial for experienced practitioners of other therapeutic disciplines, such as Chiropractors, Osteopaths, Kinesiologists, and Reiki, Yoga, and Alexander Technique practitioners. The course will supplement their existing training and improve their therapeutic skills. In addition to the technical knowledge and career possibilities, students can experience better health, an enhanced quality of life, improved coping skills, and a strong basis for spiritual growth. This course opens up the reality of Qigong to those whose experience thus far may have been limited to reading books or simple physical exercises.

This lady had 15 surgeries yet her foot was still splayed out 25 degrees. It straightened in a week because it was her jaw that was causing the problem! One of over 300 testimonials: - I have Vitamin D Resistant Ricketts that went undiagnosed for too many years and the result was legs that were crooked, uneven and unsteady. After 35 years, 15 surgeries on my legs and an inability to even walk a trail near my home, I was a little concerned about how much longer I could walk at all. My left foot was permanently splayed out about 25 degrees, I walked with a marked wobble and I had a pain that averaged an 8 out of 10 in my right knee and both feet. My surgeons were not able to help much and had indicated that I was as good as I was going to get.

What is kinesiology? Kinesiology is a holistic approach to longlasting health and vitality, with results that can be felt immediately. It melds ancient Eastern energetichealing arts with Western physiological healing sciences to address a wide range of physical, emotional, mental, nutritional and spiritual issues. What makes kinesiology unique is that the kinesiologist is not the dispenser of healing knowledge to the client but rather the facilitator of the body’s own intelligence to be healed and whole. The major tool used in kinesiology is gentle muscle monitoring, a form of direct communication with the physical, emotional, mental and cellular systems of the body. The client’s muscle response not only directs the kinesiologist to the cause but also directs them to the correction needed to resolve these problems. Everyone can benefit from kinesiology, from the unwell to the very fit, using it to improve

THE DAY AFTER LEARNING KINERGETICS! After graduating from Kinergetics I was presented with an immediate healing assignment the next day. The 24 year-old daughter of a friend of mine suffered from intense and unknown acute pain all over her, and was hospitalised for five days. The doctors did numerous checks and investigation with no result. There were no answers. They concluded that there was nothing wrong with her and discharged her with the pain.

Two days later she was hospitalised (emergency) as the pain was unbearable to the touch. The doctors still couldnt determine the cause. That was when this bloke (me) who had just graduated from Kinergetics was approached to help. I told him that Ive just completed the course but I could give it a try. The doctors were giving up hope on the poor suffering soul as they had no solution or answers to her pain. All forms of pain relief and pain killers didnt relieve the pain. When I arrived at the hospital, I was greeted by many of the girls relatives and well-wishers. Her father told me that he was pinning all his hopes on me (which added more pressure on me of course). I was led to the poor suffering girl. She was still in immense pain. I knew from her eyes that she had given up hope. Who could blame her? After ten minutes her pain began to subside. It gave me confidence. One hour and forty-five minutes later her pain was totally gone vanished. No medicine, massage, nothing magic. Just simply sending the energy to the place where the body told me. KINERGETICS WORKS! She requested food for the first time. She wanted her favourite Chinese spring roll. By this time I was almost a hero in my own right. All the relatives and well-wishers including her father were smiling at me. I could feel a sense of achievement. It felt great. Four hours later she was discharged from the hospital pain-free. I did two more private sessions as a follow-up. She hasnt looked back since. Some time later she called me to tell me that she was fine and pregnant. At last contact she was happily awaiting the birth of her first child.

Imagine being your own boss and in control of your own destiny for a change? IT IS POSSIBLE and I know because I have done it. For years I slugged away at an unrewarding job, each effort I made going unappreciated, looking out the window and dreaming of something different. I wasnt sure if I could make it in a new career. I was sure that I would go crazy or become very ill if I didnt do something. But I was afraid and lacked confidence. I made excuses for my lack of action and, as a result, nothing changed. Finally work was making me so unhappy that I decided to make my dream a reality and give it a shot. I rationalised that anything had to be better than my soulless 9-5 existence. To study massage would be a great personal development tool, and no harm would be done by studying part time while working. I would still have my job and be able to try a new skill no learning is wasted. I was worried I could not afford it though, as I had heard it cost many thousands of dollars to study complementary health. I mentioned this to a work colleague who was

I told him how envious I was of his success but that I would have to skip massage as I had bills to pay. That was when I found out about Skills Victoria and VET-FEE HELP. Almost as soon as I realised that I could reduce my course fees by around 70%, I was enrolled in a Diploma of Remedial Massage. I was able to study after hours, and on weekends. I did so much growing in those two years. I made new friends, learnt valuable massage skills, business skills and practised my art with real clients in student clinic. Within 24 months I had emerged with a new outlook on life and a new career. I am no different from you. All it requires is a bit of hard work and good learning tools. Your confidence will grow.

COLLEGE OF Kinesiology Melbourne (Mt Eliza) WHAT IS NEURO-TRAINING AND HOW DOES IT WORK WITH KINESIOLOGY? The Neuro-Training approach uses Kinesiology to help people recuperate from the stresses of modern day living in the most effective way. One of the most reliable systems we have is our genetic system. By using these genetic references, you access enormous potential to retrain your nervous system to work better. Without these stresses, the conflicts which create your symptoms are removed. Retraining

your nervous system involves changing your defence patterns. Without your defences, your nervous system will integrate these new neurological habits and create more energy to recuperate. By using our own genetic system, we are not working with our beliefs, a new trend or idea; we are using our innate references to increase our quality of spirit. Our Cert 1V and Diploma are dual qualifications recognized nationally and internationally and offer the latest in neuroscience to retrain your nervous system. You will become a specialist in your career and understand and eliminate the mechanisms of why we don’t recuperate.

HOW TO MEDITATE EASILY

➚ The benefits of meditation have been known for thousands

of years and have recently been validated in scientific studies. Unfortunately, many people find it difficult to meditate and often give up without receiving these benefits. This problem has now been solved with the release of a powerful audio technology called Holosync that sends a very specific stimulus to the brain and creates states of deep meditation, quickly and easily. Stimulating the brain with Holosync releases stress-reducing chemicals that are highly pleasurable. Most people go easily into a deep, trancelike meditative state, normally only attained by experienced monks who have been meditating for over 20 years. In fact, EEG studies show the brain patterns experienced are actually deeper than those attained by many monks. As new neural pathways connect and synchronise the two sides of the brain, individuals develop what scientists call “whole brain functioning,” which improves learning, intuition, mental clarity, creativity, concentration, and intelligence, as well as amazing quantum leaps in insight and self-awareness. Holosync also increases your ability to deal with stress and releases emotions such as anger, fear, sadness and anxiety. When Holosync is used regularly over time, many people discover that dysfunctional feelings and behaviours fall away — even those that have stubbornly resisted change in the past.

Gratitude: a key to happiness ➚ Countless people in today’s world desire to be happy. Indeed the

pursuit of happiness has been identified as a primary goal among many modern societies, social and economic groupings. There are also many common beliefs about what will make someone truly happy. However, according to Master Marilyn Smith, Divine Channel, educator, author and Worldwide Representative of renowned spiritual teacher and healer Master Zhi Gang Sha, many of the commonly held beliefs about what creates happiness are not enough to bring true lasting happiness. In her book, Gratitude: a Key to Happiness, Master Marilyn shares profound wisdom and teachings from the Divine and simple wisdom and secrets for living a full and happy life. “Gratitude can help you achieve both health and happiness. When you are grateful the essence of happiness is held within that gratitude”, says Marilyn. She defines gratitude in her one sentence secret as being “unconditional appreciation, reverence, respect and joy” She says that many people believe that wealth accumulation or having themselves as the focus of their activities will bring them happiness. “Many people have held these beliefs very tightly. For those that believed that wealth was the road to happiness, the current economic situation is very discouraging”, she says. Master Marilyn has had extensive experience as a school educator and administrator and as a Divine Channel she travels the world extensively teaching soul healing practices and wisdom to create greater awareness of the importance of soul in every aspect of life including the creation of lasting health and happiness. Master Marilyn attributes the wisdom and practices she shares in her writings and lectures to her many teachers including Master Zhi Gang Sha, the Divine, holy saints, life experience and her whole family. She says that during the writing of her book it was as if the Divine is saying,”Do this and your life will be different. Use my suggestions and you can be happy”. Master Marilyn explains that being grateful is a value that many people hold dear and yet if asked to explain what gratitude is, many people struggle. “Gratitude is an unconditional appreciation for everything. The word unconditional is very important. It is appreciation for whatever and whoever happens to be part of your life at this moment” she said. Marilyn explains that, apart from unconditional appreciation, the process of reverence and respect are essential ingredients for a truly grateful heart. “It is sometimes possible to feel appreciation that is limited.

The limitation comes because we have not fully entered into respect and reverence for whatever and whoever is active in our life at that moment”. Although Marilyn explains that the process of happiness can be expressed in a variety being grateful of ways she explains that animation, which in essence means life, breath or also has soul is fundamental to the achievement many positive of happiness. benefits for She explains that gratitude and happiness are closely linked and that one health including is necessary for the achievement of the maintaining other. “There is a gracefulness to those who are happy. Their gracefulness comes proper blood from the soul to soul connection they have pressure with everything that is part of their present experience. This type of happiness is and a strong closely linked to gratitude because these cardiovascular people are expressing gratitude for system everything pleasant and unpleasant”, says Marilyn. “A person who is animated has a soul to soul connection with all the events, situations and persons that are part of his or her life at the moment”, and this, says Marilyn, is the one sentence secret for lasting happiness. In her book Marilyn shares a variety of simple practices for connecting to happiness and gratitude. She says that the process of being grateful also has many positive benefits for health including maintaining proper blood pressure and a strong cardiovascular system. “It is possible to live life with an entirely different kind of energy that releases happiness and that assists us to become healthier and to be that kind of presence for those around us: for our families, our friends, our co-workers, and for that matter, all of humanity”, says Marilyn. Master Marilyn Smith is in Melbourne for a series of workshops and lectures during late November.

Honey & Cinnamon

an exciting new twist on an ancient cure! ➚ No doubt many of you will have heard

about the benefits of honey and cinnamon. Traditionally this pair tends to conjure up visions of Christmas, of yummy cakes and biscuits and the relaxing feeling of a warm household of happy family members. What most of us didn’t know is that this combination has also been Having experienced for ourselves the benefits of combining Davidson’s Golden Pollenaze with Young Living’s Cinnamon Bark Oil, we’ve put together some very special packages. This combination is much more powerful than just honey and cinnamon alone! Do you know it takes 1,300lb of cinnamon bark to get just 150ml of oil? One drop of oil can equal up to 2 ounces of bark! In a study published at the U.S. Department of Agriculture, cinnamon reduced the proliferation of leukemia and lymphoma cancer cells. Thought to promote healthy cardiovascular, digestive, kidney and immune function, cinnamon acts as an antiseptic as well as having profound effect on sore muscles, joint pain and arthritic conditions. As for Davidson’s Golden Pollenaze – we’ve told you quite a bit about this remarkable product in past issues. Made with the world's only shelled bee pollen, it contains the richest known source of antioxidants, vitamins, minerals, proteins, amino acids, hormones, enzymes and fats, as well as significant quantities of natural antibiotics. A natural multivitamin, Pollenaze has been a favourite of arthritis sufferers for nearly 20 years because it addresses the nutrient deficiencies patients have, while at the same time providing energy, powerful immune support and the vital omegas found in fish oil.

used in Ayurvedic medicine for thousands of years to treat an astounding number of health conditions! What we’re bringing to the table is a way to amplify the benefit of this synergistic duo, by using the most beneficial nutrient-dense honey on the market with a potent high quality therapeutic oil. ARTHRITIS Arthritis is commonly caused by nutrient deficiency, such as low levels of antioxidant vitamins, which directly impact joint function and cartilage structure. A person with nutrient deficiency may experience bone deterioration and loss of mobility. In a study conducted at Copenhagen University, doctors gave a mixture of honey and cinnamon to 200 patients before their breakfast, and, within a week, 73 patients were totally relieved. Nearly all patients who were unable to walk started walking painlessly within a month of treatment and did not show any symptoms of arthritis. WEIGHT LOSS AND DIABETES A 2007 study in medical journal "Diabetes Care" found that small doses of cinnamon daily improved insulin sensitivity, reducing fasting glucose levels. Your body increases fat storage if it experiences insulin resistance – so this is a great daily tonic for weight watchers. Several studies suggest that cinnamon may have a regulatory effect on blood sugar, making it especially beneficial for people with Type 2 diabetes According to a Penn State University study in 2003, subjects taking cinnamon capsules for 40 days reduced blood sugar by up to 29 percent. Honey is a natural sugar, unlike refined sugars, and may also lower blood sugar. We’ve had a number of diabetics using Pollenaze over the years and

HIGH BLOOD PRESSURE Digestible pollen is well recognised as a powerful natural ally and doctor recommended as an excellent tonic for high blood pressure. According to the University of Pittsburgh Medical Center, the use of cinnamon and honey reduces low-density lipoprotein, or 'bad' cholesterol, as well as triglycerides, when consumed daily. According to a 2006 study in the "Journal of the American College of Nutrition" 6g of cinnamon daily may decrease high blood pressure.

God is also in the condition of separateness itself, lest we think that God could be absent in any realm. Some teachings talk about ‘the absolute’ and ‘the relative’, as if they were two different things. This is a mistake. More properly, we should talk about the ‘oneness of Oneness’ and the ‘oneness of Two-ness.’ If we translate this statement into theistic language, it means that God’s love really does stretch from one end of the universe to the other, that this Presencealso called Loveexists not in some special state that reconfigures this world of duality into something more spiritual, but actually is duality itself! Let us translate again: This world, with its pain, its serious anguish, and even its unfairness, is also filled with benevolence. You need not go anywhere but here. The more you are here, the more you are within God and God is within you.

WANT TO BECOME A WEIGHT LOSS THERAPIST?

Gabriella Maiuto is a Reiki Master and Workshop Facilitator who specialises in:

➚ Attend the most practical Weight Loss Business training ever!

Do you have a dream to work in the helping professions as a therapist? Perhaps you do, but have never taken the time to act on this desire, instead settling for second best, working in a job simply to pay the bills, and your passion for working as a therapist has taken a sorry second place …..THIS IS NOT THE WAY IT SHOULD BE! YOU CAN HAVE YOUR DREAM JOB AND EARN A GREAT INCOME – all while helping people achieve their goals. We all know that Australia now has one of the biggest obesity problems in the world. Let's face it, the weight loss industry is set to grow and therefore the numbers of people needing this type of service will continue to increase. More and more people desperately want help to lose weight for their health and to lessen the impact of Type 2 diabetes symptoms. If you love working with people. If you love helping people. This could be the OPPORTUNITY OF A LIFETIME for you! Working as a therapist is deeply satisfying work on so many levels. If you are ready to leap into this field, or simply want to add a new skill to your already existing business, then please take a moment to have a look at this business training: www.natualhealthhypnosis.com

NovemberStargazer by Stella Woods

RIP Steve â&#x20AC;&#x153;I want to put a ding in the universeâ&#x20AC;? Jobs I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t often write about individuals and I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t own a Mac, iPad, iPhone or even an iPod, but the passing of Appleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s visionary co-founder, Steve Jobs, has touched millions of people all over the world. I thought it fitting to pay tribute to this amazing human being.

His net worth might be $8.3 billion but Steve Jobs was a Pisces and itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s rare to find a Piscean whoâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s just in it for the money (or indeed just in it for themselves). Noted for their lack of boundaries, psychic and spiritual gifts, dreaminess, escapist nature and love of fantasy, Pisceans dream of heaven on earth and some of them, like Steve Jobs, manage to turn their dreams into reality. Jobs was a typical Piscean. His early life included dropping out of college; a trip to an Indian ashram in search of enlightenment; becoming a Buddhist and experimentation with psychedelic drugs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; he believed LSD opened the creative channels in the brain. His commitment to quality, style and beauty, coupled with his unique visionary

approach, birthed products that inspire universal love and devotion, and his untimely death has turned him into a quasi-messiah. Heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s even been referred to as iGod! â&#x20AC;&#x153;Bill Gatesâ&#x20AC;&#x2DC;d be a broader guy if he had dropped acid once or gone off to an ashram when he was younger.â&#x20AC;? Steve Jobs â&#x20AC;&#x201C; New York Times, 1997 Steveâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Pisces sun is in the sixth house of his horoscope and he has a Virgo ascendant, both placements symbolising selfless devotion, service and sacrifice. Virgo and Pisces are incredibly sensitive signs with a strong focus on physical, emotional and spiritual health and wellbeing. Steve ate a pescetarian diet and embraced alternative forms of healing. Like many Pisceans, his

Whatever you think of the man, heâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s a larger than life figure and leaves behind a considerable legacy. Appleâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s products are admired and appreciated by millions around the world who are not only mourning his passing, but mourning the products he never lived long enough to create. And, with profits surging, Apple has shrugged off the recession and has $76 billion in ready cash â&#x20AC;&#x201C; more than the US government.

health was delicate. Virgo is one of the hardest working signs of the zodiac with a perfectionist streak and love of detail. Steve had a strong work ethic and was closely involved in every step of product development and design at Apple. But apart from all this sensitive stuff, Steve Jobs was clearly an alpha male with a sharp tongue and a sharp mind. He has often been labelled a control freak and was known as a tough and sometimes fanatical boss. Retrograde Mercury in Aquarius ruling his Gemini mid-heaven enabled him to revolutionise computer engineering by thinking outside the box. Moon and Mars in fire sign Aries gave him his incredible

on the 11th. After two months of impulsive and creative fire energy, it’s time to get down to work to put the finishing touches on plans and projects. Mars will be in Virgo until early July next year. Pleasure-loving Venus will be in fire sign Sagittarius from 2nd to 27th November inviting us to relax & enjoy ourselves as the weather warms up. continued

ELEVEN ELEVEN ELEVEN Last year we had 10/10/10 and this year it’s 11/11/11 and of course next year it will be 12/12/12. We all love patterns and lucky numbers and I was amused when I glanced at the clock before writing this paragraph to see it was 11.11am. Some believe these special numbers and dates have spiritual significance and many people report seeing the 11.11 pattern on a regular basis. In numerology, the number eleven is considered to be a master number, conferring psychic and intuitive gifts. There is the potential for illumination and deep insight and the ability to channel information from higher dimensions. Because an increasing number of people are focusing on spiritual growth and awareness, it is entirely possible that our collective belief

in the power of numbers will produce a shift in human consciousness on 11th November. So what’s happening in the stars on that day? 11th November happens to fall at the Taurus full moon, promising a natural heightening in energy. The Sabian Symbol for 18-19 degrees of Taurus is ‘A new continent arising out of the ocean’, representing the surge of new potential after a crisis. The idea is to allow things to unfold in a spontaneous manner rather than trying to control the infinite with the conscious or rational mind. Mercury and Venus are conjunct the Sagittarian north node, promising vision, enlightenment, wisdom, love and speaking from the heart. Finally a kite formation between Jupiter, Pluto, Chiron, Neptune and Mars gives us the practical tools and energy to ground the vision.

through boundaries, reach for the skies and dream of possibilities, but the challenging angles to Mars and Chiron teach us that we need to proceed slowly, steadily and methodically if we want to make those dreams come true. Eclipses move in cycles, and so far we’ve had three eclipses in the Gemini-Sagittarius polarity, the first on 21st December last year and the second and third on 2nd and 16th June, 2011. The first and third were the most powerful and required substantial adjustments. November/December is a great time for Geminis and Sagittarians to update their self-image and future plans. This solar eclipse is a partial eclipse, meaning the moon does not completely obscure the light of the sun. One way of interpreting the symbolism is that neither the masculine energy of the sun nor the feminine energy of the moon dominates. Rather, the joining of the two forces could be described as integrative and unifying, a process of becoming whole, indicating that there is an opportunity to experience this sense of integration first hand, in our personal lives and on a global level. Although the energies are most prominent for a week on either side of the eclipse (many feel a heightened sense of energy during this period), the influence on events continues

During a solar eclipse, the life-giving sun that lights our path joins briefly with the dark and mysterious moon as the moon blocks out the light of the sun. In this moment of darkness, yin and yang energies combine afresh, beginning another cycle in the spiral of personal development. On November 25th there is a partial solar eclipse at the new moon with the sun and moon at 3 degrees of Sagittarius, forming a T square with Mars and Chiron. All eclipses indicate change; solar eclipses signify beginnings and usually manifest as events in the outer world. At solar eclipses we begin something new, make promises to ourselves, make commitments, plans and decisions, rise to the challenge, change, mature, travel at a faster pace, feel restless and excited and get in touch with our feelings. The Sagittarian energy inspires us to break

The sun travels through water sign Scorpio from 24th October until 23rd November this year. Scorpio is the eighth sign of the zodiac with keywords ‘I will survive’ and ‘I am intense’. Scorpio has three symbols: the scorpion, representing Scorpio’s lower nature, her jealousy, desire for revenge and tendency to manipulate others; the eagle, representing Scorpio’s ability to soar above emotional attachment thus accessing the true power of the sign, and finally the holy dove, symbol of divine love, compassion and forgiveness. Those born under the sign of the Scorpion are usually loyal, strong and courageous. They love exploring the mysteries of life – birth, death, sexuality, reincarnation and anything taboo. They have a reputation for being passionate, secretive and highly sexual and, due to their emotional intensity, often have to deal with issues of trust and betrayal. Negatively, Scorpios can be possessive, jealous, vindictive, destructive and manipulative, particularly when hurt or betrayed. In medical astrology, Scorpio rules the organs of elimination and reproduction including the urinary tract, bowel, prostate gland and nasal bones. When Scorpios are out of balance they can suffer from haemorrhoids, constipation, urinary tract infections, menstrual and reproductive problems, plus catarrh and sinus problems. The Scorpio colours are dark red, purple, dark green and black. Scorpio’s greatest lesson is to learn to let go on an emotional level and forgive themselves and others.

Mars shifts from Leo to Virgo on the 11th. After two months of impulsive and creative fire energy, it’s time to get down to work to put the finishing touches on plans and projects. Mars will be in Virgo until early July next year. Pleasure-loving Venus will be in fire sign Sagittarius from 2nd to 27th November inviting us to relax and enjoy ourselves as the weather warms up. This is a great time for socialising, spending time outdoors, shopping, taking road trips and generally cutting loose. Mercury turns retrograde in Sagittarius on the 24th November, the day before the new moon and solar eclipse. This will only serve to heighten the intensity and relevance of the insights revealed between the new moon eclipse (in Sagittarius) on the 25th and the full moon eclipse (in Gemini) on 11th December. Think of the thrice-yearly Mercury retrograde transit as a three-week opportunity to get your life back on track and regain integrity. Pay particular attention to gut feelings, hunches and pieces of information that randomly come your way. Avoid starting new projects, but focus on completing or revising existing ones. Spend time daydreaming and meditating and see

Launch projects at the new moon, bring them to completion in the period from just before the full moon to the third quarter phase and wind them down and reflect on developments in the week before the next new moon. Important events such as parties, conferences and weddings are best held close to the full moon or when the moon is in the same sign as your sun (star) sign.
