Occupy Everywhere!
By Mark Sheehan “Our politicians are money launderers in the trafďŹ cking of power and policy.â€?“We learned long ago that power and privilege never give up anything without a struggle. Money ďŹ ghts hard and it ďŹ ghts dirty.â€? - Two quotes from Bill Moyers Mahatma Gandhi was the master of civil resistance and he advised that “the function of civil resistance is to provoke response and we will continue to provoke until they respond or change the law. They are not in control, we are.â€? Civil Resistance seems a better term than ‘civil disobedience,’ which suggests misbehavior when, in fact, times of crisis demand that people rise up. Howard Zinn pointed out that civil disobedience isn’t our problem, “our problem is civil obedience! Our problem is that people have obeyed their leaders in the face of poverty and starvation and stupidity, and war, and cruelty. Our problem is that people are obedient while the jails are full of petty thieves, and all the while the grand thieves are running the country. That’s our problem.â€? The 99% are addressing the issues of class warfare, grand theft, a very limited government “of the 1%, by the 1%, for the 1%.â€? While we have been distracted by ersatz issues like guns, gays and God, the World Management Team has conducted highly proďŹ table wars and supported a monstrous empire while, back in the ‘homeland,’ police forces got tens of billions in riot gear and military muscle to be able to suppress the impending uprisings. If you don’t think so, just look back at the nightly news footage of

storm troopers shooting projectiles and tear gas at demonstrators in Oakland and Denver and elsewhere. When people are suppressed for a long time they feel powerless and lose hope. Not any more. You can say it started with the Arab Spring but now it has gone viral from Occupy Wall Street to a thousand main streets. We are fed up with the wholesale ownership of government by a small clique of ultrarich, their lobbyists and the political puppets who carry out the billionaires’ bidding. Have you seen Dylan Ratigan’s explosive rant about the Wall St. con game? Go Google it. At first the main stream media (MSM) ignored the movement, then characterized it as misguided and without an agenda. Bill Moyers knows how corporate media work, that “news is what people want to keep hidden; everything else is publicity.� Well, the ‘news’ is that the 99% won’t sit back and let the 1% destroy their lives and this country any more. The ‘news’ is that we want an end to war, to close the tax loopholes, to curb Wall Street power, to end casino capitalism, to create jobs, to rebuild this country, to restore

social and economic justice. Gandhi is right, “Economic equality is the master key to nonviolent independence.â€? The signs of the movement are zen telegrams: “They got bailed out: We got sold out,â€? “This isn’t a recession, It’s a robbery.â€? And, my favorite: “Dear 1%, you seem distant lately. Let’s talk. - the 99%â€? This isn’t a new issue for this country. Jefferson foresaw that we might lose our young democracy if the banks took over. And back in the 19th century there were social leaders who claimed that “Wall Street owns the country. Our laws are the output of a system that clothes rascals in robes and honesty in rags.â€? Is this the end of government for the few at the expense of the many? Not even close. The 1% started this latest round of class warfare almost 40 years ago and they won’t give up without a ďŹ ght. In fact, all the signiďŹ cant progress in this country, from ending slavery, to all the other rights we have gained, have come from people coming together to ďŹ ght the ruling class. Even now, with the GOP majority and the power of Catholic Bishops, women’s rights, gained from 50 years of struggle, are being worn down. The same is true for voting rights as the right wing passes voting restrictions in key states to suppress minority voting power. Self proclaimed ‘cool observer’ Mikey Z knows our time will come “when we collectively decide we’re less afraid of the state than of living on a planet without trees, without drinkable water, without arable land, without a hint of justice.â€?

Occupy Brilliance
I believe a greater power exists in being “forâ€? something rather than being “againstâ€? it. I’m not against the 1% or capitalism. Obviously, the 1% gamed the system, and capitalism has worked for them brilliantly. For us, the other 99%, the lights are ďŹ nally coming on about how fractional reserve banking works (and doesn’t work) and how the cards are stacked. Can’t our collective brilliance be focused on proactive, creative solutions to ďŹ x our ďŹ nancial system and economy to everyone’s beneďŹ t? There’s nothing written in stone about how our money works. It could be possible, as it was during the Civil War, that the U.S. could operate with two kinds of currency. As of 2011, according to Wikipedia, $230 million in United States Notes are still in circulation, not backed by any debt. Congress and the Treasury could expand this currency to co-exist with Federal Reserve Notes, created apart from borrowing (and selling our collective souls) to be forever in debt to the private Federal Reserve “banksters.â€? It’s too bad Steve Jobs was a genius computer guy instead of an economist. Maybe this mess would never have happened, and we’d have an Apple I-Phone $ app instead. American ingenuity is way overdue. Enjoy the issue! And many mahalos to everyone who sent good articles in that didn’t get published. My wish for 2012 is that we have more editorial space to “occupy.â€? Happy holidays, everyone! - Eric T. Richter, publisher

Betray The Age
By Alan Clements Writer-poet Wendell warns, “We have reached a point at which we must either consciously desire and choose and determine the future of the earth or submit to such an involvement in our destructiveness that the earth, and ourselves with it, must certainly be destroyed.â€? We are the matter of the universe – a Cosmos that made us and will take us. We are genetically encoded to seek and create life, genetically encoded to disintegrate and die. Although we appear to be different, we’re all kin beneath the skin, sharing the same ancient ancestry. From a molecule of DNA – origin unknown – life emerged on earth. Over the next four and a half billion years, we crawled out of the oceans, formed hands and lungs, and walked upright for the ďŹ rst time a mere 300,000 years ago. Only 100,000 years ago the planet’s population was 60,000. Anthropologists tell us that about 10,000 or so people from the original tribe migrated north from central Africa and from there, spread throughout the world. And, not surprisingly, wherever modern Homo sapiens migrated, they drove the indigenous peoples into extinction, either by out-producing them or exterminating them through murderous acts of conquest. Move forward 2,000 years past countless wars, and the rising and passing of civilizations, into a 20th century fraught with obscene brutality: Stalin, Mao, The Holocaust, Hiroshima, genocide in Armenia, Rwanda, Bosnia, and Sudan; Pinochet’s terror in Chile, Pol Pot’s Cambodia, Apartheid, the crushing of human rights in Syria, Burma, the Congo, and Tibet. All in the name of what? Freedom? Democracy? Christ? Capitalism? Allah? Oil? God? Bono, the singer for the rock group U2, gives us his take on the story and moreover, how to turn it around: “There’s a truly great Irish poet, Brendan Kennelly,â€? he tells us. “And he has this epic poem called The Book of Judas, and there’s a line in it that says, ‘If you want to serve the age, betray it.’â€? What does that mean, to betray the age? Well, to me betraying the age means exposing its conceits, its foibles, its phony moral certitudes. It means telling the secrets of the age and facing harsher truths. What are the ideas worth betraying? What are the secrets you wish to tell? And when will you tell them? This is one of 108 reections from spiritual teacher, human rights activist and performing artist Alan Clements’ delightful new book, A Future to Believe In. Visit WorldDharma.com for more excerpts and ordering information.
Transform Your Life NOW!
By Eric T. Richter Every once in awhile, a new book comes out and I exclaim to myself, “I wish I’d written this one!â€? Transform Your Life NOW! by Maui’s internationally followed spiritual teacher/healer and author Laurie Uri Grant ďŹ ts that sentiment. This 294-page tome is not a light read. Laurie gets into the nitty-gritty nuts and bolts of conscious living, and is sure to push even the most enlightened person’s buttons while guiding them to new levels of knowing. It reads sort of like Louise Hay on steroids, a “you-create-and-are-responsible-for-your-lifeâ€? philosophy that sometimes is hard to swallow, with lots of exercises and tools to move you forward. Laurie’s chakra-based (energy center) system of soul and personal evolvement makes perfect sense and holds together well. Karma is eliminated, because you quit judging where people are in their life experience. Instead you can understand why they are where they are, even if they are poverty-stricken and starving. It’s all about growth. Laurie’s realization that “everything is Divine all the timeâ€? can propel you towards self-empowerment while facing any life situation. Still, the book is not for the metaphysically faint of heart, who may be unwilling to let go of their “drama and trauma.â€? Some juicy quotes: “We create our own reality, including the hard times, because we need to learn something.â€? “I think that our major challenges are self-created or self-imposed and are chosen by our being, soul and spirit as a way to learn our lessons.â€? “Many people who have gone into foreclosure borrowed more than they could pay back. This situation is giving them an opportunity to learn to be realistic about their ďŹ nances.â€? If you want to transform your life, get this book for yourself, your friends, and most importantly, the people in your life you don’t like. Maybe they’ll get the hint!

The Uprising Of The Divine Feminine By Liah Howard We live in a world that has become grossly unbalanced. Consider that actors and athletes get paid exorbitantly for work that contributes to the mass consciousness of violence and competition, while school teachers and social workers struggle to make ends meet as they contribute to the betterment of our society. Politicians who cry for war are re-elected. The unhealthy aspects of the masculine principles of power and aggression are rewarded while the healthy feminine quality of nurturing is devalued. This is not something we can afford in a world dying from lack of connection, community, and consciousness. But wonderfully, an uprising is afoot, heralded by the Divine feminine principle and the healthy aspects of the Divine male coming into harmony with one another. The union of these energies will heal this unbalance and put heart and soul into
our politics, culture, and personal lives. This revolution calls for cooperation, not competition. The beauty of the Div i n e f e minine principle is that the whole is honored rather than the segments or parts. When we separate anything from ourselves, we lose an intrinsic sense of oneness and thus disconnect from the pain and suffering of others. This contributes to the unconscious rape of our natural resources and the indifference to the global condition of humanity, particularly to the innocent children of the world and to the women who are oppressed. The healthy masculine principle is meant to be protective, strong and providing, able to solve problems and get things done. When this aspect is in harmony with the healthy feminine principle of nurturing, feeling and creating, there is a synthesis of balance. This balance allows one to move through life with both their intuition and their intellect intact. The rationality of the left brain works with the intuition of the right brain to create a holistic matrix of decision and action. We all carry both masculine and feminine principles and it worthwhile that we reflect on how we’re nurturing and expressing each of those sides. Historically the masculine has ruled with

violence, whether on the battle or sporting field. As we witness and participate in the uprising of the feminine, we will see a new world emerge. Heart-felt communication will resolve conflict, fierceness and gentleness will both be honored and will both contribute to growth and prosperity, shared by all. Feelings, visions and hunches will be given a place of recognition in all decision making endeavors from personal to political matters. In a world in balance, non-violence will rule over violence. Rather than football, sports like Aikido - intended by its founder to create peace and “make the world one family” -will dominate. Music, like John Lennon’s song “Feed the World,” will continue to touch and inspire others, bridging countries and people for a common cause. Religion, politics, education and employment will shift from a hierarchical structure to one of unity, cooperation and mutual respect. Women and children around the globe will be given their birthrights of freedom, justice, the pursuit of happiness and abundance on all levels. An uprising is happening and you are a part of it! Inventory your life and see where you can bring more balance of the healthy feminine and masculine principles into it. Now is the time to come back into balance and remember to put your heart and soul and nurturing into all you do in your personal and professional life, politics and culture, and community.

Need An Excuse To Quit Smoking?
By Judy Phillips Most of us know that smoking is bad for your health and can produce heart disease, cancer and a whole host of other maladies. There is something else, however, that you may not know about cigarettes. Within the smoke of that cigarette you are putting to your lips is a toxin that is so rampant it can affect you even if you are not the one smoking. Many of us in the alternative medicine arena have warned our clients, friends and families about this toxin for years, as it is one of the foremost causes of heart disease and Alzheimer’s. A recent investigation has ďŹ nally generated more proof of what we have all been saying all along. For many years, it was thought that peripheral arterial disease (PAD) was caused by the smoke or nicotine from cigarettes. It was a big surprise to the scientists who studied a group of smokers that this was not the case. The smokers with the majority of artery damage were those that had high levels of lead and cadmium in their blood. If truth be told, those who possessed the highest blood levels of those metals were approximately three times as likely to acquire PAD! Scientists deduced that the lead and cadmium in cigarette smoke injures the lining of the arteries, generating more prominent disease. Bottom line – it is not the smoke that does the damage, but the chemical and heavy metal content. Sadly, it does not take much of these heavy metals to trigger health problems. Medical researchers discovered that PAD was linked with lead concentrations that were merely 13 percent higher on average in contrast to people without PAD. Similarly, the cadmium levels were roughly 16 percent higher in people with PAD than in those without it. The bombshell is that the highest levels in this study were well below what the medical establishment considers safe! You are getting enough of these heavy metals from your environment as it is, so smoking is just making it even worse. For example, the ceramic mug you are drinking your tea out of more than likely has lead in it, and if you are not picky about making sure that the candles you burn are made out of beeswax and have cotton wicks then you are burning wicks that raise the concentrations of lead in the air by 36 times what is considered safe by the EPA. If that is not enough, cadmium can be found in the processed meats you eat, batteries you use, in some instant coffee, galvanized pipes and the list goes on and on. Traditionally, people who were interested in removing these heavy metals from their bodies were guided to chelation therapy. Now, there is something less invasive and more effective in the ďŹ ght to combat the onslaught of toxic substances. It is easy, very affordable, effective and can be used on children as well. Bathing in bentonite clays using the earth’s natural healing properties saves hundreds, perhaps thousands of dollars and can be done in your own home. Bentonite clays assist in the removal of toxic heavy metals and chemicals in your body, thereby enabling conditions of ill health to normalize and heal. If you are interested in reading more about these two heavy metals in regard to PAD, here are some links on the subject: circ.ahajournals. org/content/109/25/3196.full, medscape.com/viewarticle/480644 and theheart.org/article/144721.do.

Evolution And Revolution
By Ed Fell For the current revolution to succeed, there must be an evolution from within. Institutions are simply mirrors of who I am. I must clean up my own self, take responsibility for hurting others and for how I participate in perpetuating injustices every day. I must take responsibility for not feeding the hungry or polluting the air when I drive. I must take responsibility for my own greed that wants to accumulate stuff. I must look at how I have and enjoy the many unearned privileges that come from being born American, a male and white, that have a cost to others in our world. I must be accountable for my own breaches in integrity as well as demand that other institutions do the same. I am accountable for not always living as the loving and authentic man that I am. It is I who unconsciously surrenders my own personal sovereignty to other authorities when I submit to a system that is corrupt and abusive of the power I gave them. I cannot achieve this evolution or revolution alone. I will not use violent means and I will do it with compassion, passion and by living in truth. To those who are head of these institutions and to those who support and enforce these practices that don’t serve all of the people, I ask you to join me, hear the voices of the millions and take responsibility for the hurt you have committed. Tell the truth, commit to your own evolution of change that will support our mutual well- being and health. Together we can make this planet and its inhabitants a much better place where all are equally served and safe. Freedom can’t be a reality until all are free. Ed Fell, M.S. is a master facilitator and psychotherapist, certiďŹ ed leader with the Mankind Project International and is an intimacy guide for couples. He lives and teaches on Maui.

Investing Responsibly
By James Frazier In the early days of Socially Responsible Investing (SRI), the focus was primarily on avoidance – not investing in weapons, alcohol, and tobacco producers, for example. Since then, there has been an incredible evolution in this ďŹ eld, and a wide variety of positive impact investments are now available. SRI, now referred to as “Sustainable and Responsible Investing,â€? has become a valuable way for people to express who they are and what they value, so their money can create the kind of positive change they desire in the world. Today, whether you are a conservative or risk-tolerant investor, you can build a diversiďŹ ed portfolio that reects your values. You can invest in progressive mutual funds that seek out companies that are leaders in sustainability practices and in actively creating the green economy of the future. Many funds also engage in dialog with companies in order to use the power of their shareholder votes to advocate for change. In recent years, these shareholder activists have become increasingly successful at spurring real improvements in corporate behavior, for the beneďŹ t of both people and the planet. Conservative investments can support a wide variety of beneďŹ cial projects while providing relative safety and a healthy, fair return. Investors can select funds that ďŹ nance community development, affordable housing, or renewable energy, for example. One such investment is the Community Investment Note from the Calvert Foundation, which can be targeted to support fair trade organizations, Habitat for Humanity, the Peace Corps, independent media, Jewish Funds for Justice, and much more. Now, you know things are changing on Wall Street when you can invest in the Peace Corps!

Love In Motion
By Jody Soltau Mountain No matter what spiritual paths we are on, no matter how many workshops and healing sessions we have attended, our everyday experiences of life are where we see what really ‘works.’ As my grandmother used to say, “The proof is in the pudding.” We may have remarkable experiences through meditation, exercise, music, dance, workshops or master teachings. We can find ourselves in states of bliss, peace, expansion and compassion… until we are back in the mundane world, and may again find ourselves in old patterns - irritated, bored, or reacting. How do actually deal with everyday life? Do you experience your spiritual life as a separate and peaceful haven from the demands of the world? Do you long for those moments of ‘escape’ into the bubble of your spiritual practice? In Ancient Hawaiian Mysticism, it is said that ‘the body gets it first, and the mind catches up later.’ Our limiting thoughts, old traumas and emotional patterns can all be seen, felt and experienced in the body – if we know how to perceive them. When we free ourselves from old energetic patterns in the body, we change our alignments and relationships to everything, our internal frequencies and electromagnetic fields. Most importantly, we change the way we move in the world – on every level. We become transformed ‘where the rubber meets the road.’ The beauty and elegance of this work is its ability to raise and expand our vibrational fields and simultaneously shift our realities in this body to an experience of more harmony, ease and flow. This allows profound coherence between our ‘spiritual’ state of being and our daily experiences in the world. The spiritual state becomes the living state and life becomes a true expression of Spirit. We become love in motion. “Finally... you understand yourself to be the walking, breathing Truth.” - Kahu Abraham Kawai’i Jody Soltau Mountain leads a Hawaiian Mysticism Retreat, December 11th-15th, on Molokai.

Transforming Core Wounds
By Jacyntha Kamor Taylor The word chakra might be foreign, but the experience of this energy in our torsos is intimately familiar. It is how we know, feel, and respond to life. Chakras are perceived, through our heightened sensitivity, as vortexes of spiralling energy, a colored spectrum of light and movement. There are many chakras, but most healers focus on the seven major chakras along our spine. I have discovered that each chakra contains a core wound and a divine state. When we understand and heal these core wounds, we can transform the most stubborn and overwhelming issues of low self-esteem, addictions, self-sabotage, poverty, dysfunctional relationship patterns, creative blocks, spiritual crisis, and more. Our chakra’s core wounds are: rejection (root), abandonment (sacral), humiliation/shame (solar plexus), betrayal (heart), injustice (throat), ignorance/confusion (third eye), and doubt/disconnection (crown). In childhood, we experience situations that open these core wounds. We then construct layers of defense to try to avoid the pain. The wounds and defenses form personality patterns in our chakras that create the unique labyrinth of our life’s challenges. When we heal our core suffering and live in the divine state of each chakra, our true soul identity emerges to glow naturally and confidently in our bodies. We can then use our chakra energy to create our lives in harmony with our deepest desires. The seven divine states are: trust in abundance (root), sacred pleasure and autonomy (sacral), self-love and peaceful radiance (solar plexus), forgiveness and loving equanimity (heart), truth and dignity (throat), vision and wisdom consciousness (third eye), faith and divine connection (crown). Healing our core wounds is a wondrous adventure into our unique life stories and a way to live in greater love, vitality, and creative genius!

Radical Grandmother Reports
By Judy Levy Finally! “I’m so excited and I just can’t hide it!” I’ve been dreaming of and preparing for this moment to unfold for nearly 40 years. It’s so exciting that it, the People’s Revolution (aka the second American Revolution) is at last in progress. Now in its second month, the protests that began on September 17 in New York City in front of the NY Stock Exchange building have become a wave of activity and demonstration in nearly 1,000 cities across the globe. It’s sad that we have come to a time where so many suffering financially, emotionally and physically have been pushed to the point of finally waking up and doing something to express their frustrations. But that’s the human tendency isn’t it? We don’t change readily unless we’re forced to. But the “Powers That Be” have now made life so intolerable for so many, that the tipping point has been reached and we are now on our way to the Golden Era. We just have to wake up a few more million folks on the planet. Fortunately, a couple of hundred brave Americans had the courage to set up a spontaneous “encampment” in the financial district of New York City. Their intent was to gather as citizens and have a discourse on the state of affairs in the U.S. today. It is time to hold accountable the many “banksters” and politicians who appear to have forgotten that they work for us! Please come join us and witness true democracy in action. Occupy Together general assembly meetings are held every Wednesday at 5:00 pm in the front of the State Building in Wailuku. Judy Levy, Reiki master, mystical wise woman and co-creator of Temple of Peace - Lotus Heart in Haiku, and new Lotus Heart II in Paia invites you to come feel the “Vortex of Peace” and browse the selection of books, gifts, crystals, clothing, jewelry and more.

Breaking Free
By Suzan Proia, C.Ht. My personal battle cry in life is “Empower Thyself!” Self-empowerment is a necessary ingredient for autonomy and happy confidence. Our world is in a constant state of flux where nothing is forever and few things are etched in stone. As we feel our lives and the conditions around us spin out of control, our natural response is to find something we can count on, hold onto and depend upon. People are reaching for lifelines, seeking buoys in the storm, and a way to make the darkness and uncertainty dissolve and disappear. Too often, as a substitute for stability, we reach for comfort in the form of a substance: alcohol, caffeine, pills, cigarettes, drugs, sugar. Whatever our substance of choice may be, they are all potentially addictive. Please know that I have experienced addiction in my life. Certain individuals, doctorprescribed medications, caffeine and chocolate have all served as objects of my addictions. I also know what it is like to let go of a substance or unhealthy attachment. It is not fun or pretty, and it is not a place I am willing to visit again. I now choose to be free from addictions and independent from anything or anyone. I share my time and space with whomever and whatever I prefer, and I recognize that time shared is sacred. I relish being fully present. Lifetimes are short - why waste time by giving our precious personal power over to a substance or an individual? Addiction robs us of our autonomy. Autonomy equals independence, which leads to contentment and feeling good about ourselves. Let go of addictions and gift yourself independence. Be truly aware and fully alive! Enjoy!

Accessing The Subtle World For Healing By Gina, LMT The journey with my spinal column is a journey of rebellion. In January 2009, I was struck by an accelerating car as I crossed an intersection on foot. My medical doctors said my spinal injuries would make it impossible for me to be able to bend or ex my back or stand for long periods as my profession requires. I was told that my back would continually lock up. Medical experts could offer no procedures that could correct the spine or relieve the pain. My spine had a double scoliosis curve and when the car hit my body, two vertebrae rotated, causing contracted muscles on each side of my spinal column. This resulted in chronic, extraordinary pain. While most people deal with a ďŹ ve-sensory view of life, I have chosen to work with my mentor, Conrad Satala, exploring the subtle world and the ability to sense and connect on inner levels. With Conrad’s assistance, my spine continues to show results of more uidity and exibility (veriďŹ ed through testing). There is more movement occurring, despite the doctors’ grim prognosis! Contacting and working with the subtle world forces (and learning how they support and work with my body) allows it to operate more optimally. I am straightening the vertebrae in my spinal column in ways that others believe are impossible. My inner world focus also includes working
with Francisco, a Tz’utujil Mayan shaman in Guatemala. This work began through a series of rituals and ceremonial burns that deepened my connection to my soul, my guides and inner world forces. As Francisco works with his inner connections and shamanic tools, it physically changes my body through the emergence of my deep body. The gift of my accident has brought me to a place in my life where I choose a different way to perceive myself. This knowledge is not found in books. I am a facilitator/shaman/healer who has gone through a profound journey that has changed my perception and world view. This new perception of the body’s inner workings is what I bring to every client in my Transformational Bodywork practice. This is not a world view that is theoretical. I have experienced this through my own physical

experiences and transformation. I have learned to move through difďŹ cult surgeries and through pain differently than doctors ever thought possible. Medical practitioners and most healers strive to eliminate pain, believing it is bad or negative. They strive to heal our bodies so we have the absence of pain. What I’ve discovered instead, is that pain is really a feedback system that tells us something is changing or transforming. Our goal should not be the absence of pain – instead it should be to nurture the new identity that emerges in us. Pain helps us ďŹ nd our inner connection. Pain is our way of knowing that in this area (whether physical, emotional, spiritual or psychological) that something is transforming, not necessarily that something is wrong. An underlying premise of basic physics is that there has to be chaos to have change. So rather than having a limited life, I have chosen to walk through the chaos and engage in the exploration of the subtle world forces to live my soul’s purpose – a rebellious uprising at its ďŹ nest.

The Triad Of Health
By Michael Pascoe, D.C. Our health can be viewed as a triad or triangle. The three aspects of complete health are structure, biochemical, and emotions. Each of these general categories can be broken down into more speciďŹ c factors. Structure encompasses any traumas or injuries as well as our posture, which can affect the central nervous system. The body is a self-healing mechanism, but when it comes to trauma/injuries, we rarely take enough time to allow for complete healing. In these circumstances, the body has no choice but to adapt to the traumas. Structural symptoms are a sign that your body can no longer adapt. Biochemical health can be broken down into nutrition, and toxins. One hundred years ago, all we needed was good, whole foods to nourish our bodies. However, as the level of toxins in our soils, air and water keep increasing, just eating organic whole foods isn’t enough. There is no place on earth void of these toxins. So, we must ďŹ nd ways to mitigate the impact they have on our health. Emotional or psychological stress can also adversely affect our overall health. Under these types of stresses, our bodies react by producing stress hormones like cortisol. Our organs, particularly the adrenals, begin to work overtime and become fatigued. This eventually leads to organ exhaustion, and sometimes failure. As we feel less energy during the day, some of us resort to coffee, tobacco, soft drinks, and sugar to give us that “pick me up.â€? This further degrades the function of the already overtaxed adrenal glands. By addressing nutrition, emotions, and structure with techniques that work on a fundamental level (as opposed to simply treating symptoms), we can achieve optimal health, wellness, and happiness in a natural way to truly improve the quality of our lives. Dr. Michael Pascoe is available for consultations and to answer any questions you might have. Call 808.242.7500 or e-mail mpascoe@me.com. His ofďŹ ce is in Wailuku.

Stop Smoking And See God
By Paul Gangnier This article’s title may sound funny to you, and I admit that it sounds funny to me, too. And no, I’m not smoking anything. This saying came up the other day because I had someone coming for a “stop-smokingâ€? hypnosis session. I told my friend Nicole about it, and we looked at each other and smiled, knowing that all my clients these days come for spiritual and personal growth, with very few for addictions. I was sitting there, yearning to “show upâ€? totally for my new client. “I really want to do a great job for this client,â€? I said to Nicole, “and I need to start mentally preparing myself.â€? “They’re not coming for smoking!â€? she countered. “They’re coming because they want healing and need your help.â€? “That’s it!â€? I exclaimed, “Stop smoking and see God!â€? We both laughed. When my client showed up, however, it was immediately apparent that it was all about spiritual and personal growth. Yes, “Stop smoking and see God.â€? How wonderful! Now you’re probably saying “I don’t smoke.â€? And I say, yes, you probably do. It’s not just about smoking cigarettes or pot, it’s about smoking our own excrement, quite frankly. We get stuck in it, we roll in it, and we think with it. When we’re caught up in the crud we’ve attached, like false belief systems, conjured up modalities and concepts, and negative emotions, we cannot connect – plain and simple. We have to get through the excess debris and see ourselves as God made us before we can grow further. You can conjure up all the distractions and stories you want – including spiritual beliefs, whatever you like, but the fact is it’s all made up, blocking the way to experiencing the real you. “Let Go and Let Godâ€? isn’t just a clichĂŠ – it’s the simple truth.

Let’s Get It Straight!
By Marianne Callari We all want what we don’t have, especially when it comes to something different like sleek, straight hair. We go to great lengths to get it – sometimes too great. There is an ongoing controversy surrounding the ingredients in hair straighteners and the health issues they can cause. According to a report published in October of 2010 by US Department of Labor Occupational Safety and Health Administration, it was found that some products for this salon service can expose hair stylists and customers to formaldehyde. To view the full article, visit the following link: osha. gov/SLTC/formaldehyde/hazard_alert.html. A list of straighteners tested by OSHA that sparked a “hazard alertâ€? can also be found in the report cited above. So when you consider a straightening or smoothing hair service, a call to your stylist with questions about the brand of product and the ingredients they use could possibly help keep you from getting red, irritated eyes and a bloody nose. In spite of the potential hazards, we still want straight hair. The good news is that I have found alternatives and new processing techniques that have brought straightening and smoothing back to the salon without the health issues – beauty without sacriďŹ ce. And manufacturers and importers have now gotten with the times and even included certiďŹ ed organic ingredients in new hair-smoothing treatments. So, now you can have what you want – you deserve it! Marianne Callari is an experienced hair stylist who has worked and received continuing education in all major markets of the U.S. and now lives here on Maui.

Marching In Oakland
By Devaka When I found myself driving around the streets of Berkeley the day after Occupy Oakland, I felt lost, like I was homeless. All I had to do was call my friends – you know, the ones with the mansions, and I could check into their plush guest rooms. Naw, I wasn’t homeless like the folks camped out in front of City Hall downtown. I reeled in my Bezerkley contacts for shelter. Jim, my multi-dimensional shaman friend from college days was (darn) leaving the day after tomorrow and his place was already rented out. But if I wanted to go, too, tomorrow he was going to the march. “What march?” I queried. “You don’t know?” “No, I’ve been camped out atop Mt. Shasta all summer. What march?” I asked again. “Only the biggest city strike in over 65 years since the last one shut down Oakland in the 1940s. We’re closing down the ports.” Jim replied. So we took the BART downtown. It was like Burning Man, only with political seasonings. There were theme camps and lots of tents, stages, music and costumes. “Now this is what I call a R’Evolution. If I can’t dance then I don’t wanna participate,” I say mimicking my GreatBubby’s peer Emma Goldman. We danced through the streets, often accompanied by brass bands or samba troupes. Jim wore a full tux with tails and proudly carried his OUTTA WORK Composer placard: SUPPORT the ARTs Not the Banksters. He was interviewed and photographed by many. It was indeed an historic day. Shutting down the ports was a perfect metaphor for the action we collaborated in staging. We estimated close to ten thousand people flooded the streets. Just to participate with this body as a statistic was a privilege. As teachers took their kids out of schools to demonstrate the right to publicly assemble and protest, as nursing babies were paraded in their snugglies, as various unions and organizations represented, as Iraqi/Afghani war vets were the first line of defense against police aggression, we marched together almost two miles to the docks. As wave upon wave took to the streets – a unified field of individual parts, we were united with a common purpose: to recalibrate America’s social injustices. Devaka is a Maui healer who helps clear confusion, untruths and brings forth clarity. She utilizes hands-on energy, bodywork and massage to release cellular residues that may impede your path to happiness. To get in touch, e-mail magicmauimermaid@gmail.com.

How To ‘Unfriend’ Him In Real Life Dear Paulo, How do I relate with someone for whom I have lost all respect as the result of our romantic relationship that is now over? Unfortunately, I can’t just avoid him because we share a social network that includes several friends and interest groups in common, and neither of us wants to lose a big part of our lives just because we didn’t work out. - Delilah, Portland
It’s a a new time now... Things changing fast... New openings, completions & challenges... Consult with Helen for a 4-dimensional view of your life’s expansion “I was blown away by her words.

First, let go of any residual blame. Forgive the other person for not having lived up to the projections you shined on him (and vice-versa, to be sure). We all have a reflected sense of self, and enjoy being other-validated. It feels good to be desired and appreciated; it’s intoxicating. But now is the time to hold onto the part of you that is self-validating. To this highly conscious part, everything happens for a good reason (i.e. personal growth), and it just doesn’t matter what other people think (they don’t do it that much anyway :-). Since you will be running into this guy, however, it’s useful to realize that you will have an ongoing ‘relationship’ with him, whether you like it or not. What you are dealing with here is changing the form of this relationship, as opposed to the notion that a “relationship” has to be all or nothing. You had hopes for intimacy, and discovered that (for mutual reasons) it’s not going to work. So, what form do you want now? If you are reacting emotionally and are still shouting “nada,” you are blinded to what may be in your best interests. If you are not ready to get beyond reaction, then perhaps you really should totally avoid him for a month or two. Time heals all wounds and you’ll come around to being able to treat him as an acquaintance you can’t rely on, and whom you cannot take too seriously. Most intimate relationships begin by meeting someone at work or in our social groups. Nothing against online or blind dates, but this local, organic approach often feels more natural and can work out (for a while). But even though your wider group of friends may have observed and been privy to the
December/January, 2011-2012
details of your relationship, you never agreed to bet your entire social life on a single relationship, did you? Don’t politicize what happened. Be cool about the fact that “you win some, you lose some.” If you find yourself feeling out of sorts in public when he’s around, just try to act naturally. Avoid conversations with him; ignore him as best you can without being pointed or obvious about it. Carry on doing what you like to do, including going out with someone else from a common group. Don’t even consider what others might think or feel - you’re self-validating now, baby. Do your own harmless thing without regard for whatever you think others might think. We never know what people are thinking (hint: it’s generally about them, not us)! As they remind us in 12-step meetings, “What you think of me is none of my business!” Instead of worrying about what others might think, focus on learning as much as you can about how to hold onto yourself (and pick better partners as a result). And don’t forget to enjoy this learning process. After all, that’s one big thing relationships are for!

Decipher Your Human Design With Beverly Bright By Rev. Jill Carl Transformational therapist Beverly Marie Bright has as varied a background as she has gifts, talents and abilities. Her painful early life has been the catalyst for her current deep practice of work. Experiencing abuse and abandonment at an early age led Beverly to make some profound life choices. At age 13 she experienced her ďŹ rst direct connection with Jesus Christ which started her on a path of spiritual studies. Setting out on her own at the tender age of 16, she put herself through college, culminating in a masters degree in psychology from the University of California. Her education is formal, experiential and extensive. She has studied with many teachers and masters from East to West, gaining knowledge, wisdom, compassion, and the ability to adapt the teachings to a usable, understandable, practical tool for transformational healing. Beverly came to Maui in 1980 and worked a traditional job with the Maui County Department of Parks and Recreation where she remained for 12 years. In the early 1990s, she began to have transformational experiences which led to her various places and expanded her studies. Sometime in the mid 1990s, she saw a Human Design Chart on someone’s wall and the resonance was unmistakable. She left Maui to study Human Design with Ra Uru Hu, the founder of the system. He told
her it was revealed to him directly by Source: “The Human Design System is a revealed science which integrates DNA Genetics, with the Hindu Chakra System, the Kabala, Astrology, and the I Ching. “It is the mechanics of the Maya. It is not a belief system. It is logical and empirical, here to take us through, in a simple way, the mystical nature of our being, to something very basic, the energetic fundamentals of our true nature.â€? The Human Design chart is the “blueprintâ€? of your body, soul, and life. It can be intimating to view by the untrained eye but, once explained by Beverly with her skilled and expert interpretation, it can become the path to freedom. As with all of her other studies, Beverly has developed and adapted this modality to most beneďŹ t those who come to her for readings, clarity, and help. Advanced Human Design is the foundation of her work, combined with all of the knowledge and wisdom she has garnered along the way. In 2009 Beverly felt the pull to return home to Maui. She returned here with one goal in mind: to be of service and help people with transformational healing. Your personal Human Design System chart allows her to quickly decipher how to help you. To create your personal, chart she needs your date, time and place of birth. Reading your chart, she helps you uncover and discover the core beliefs and patterns of your life. She helps you to understand those patterns and embrace
more deeply those that are working for you, helps dispel the false beliefs that keep you cycling through destructive patterns, and provides you with tools to help you live life more fully and joyfully. She also helps you to understand what is natural to you and helps you to know how you are wired so you can feel comfortable and relaxed with who you truly are. It’s not about changing who you are, but recognizing who you’ve always been, and she can help bring about such a transformation. This is what Beverly Marie Bright is all about – helping people transform their lives.

Change Is Possible!
By Eliza Bassett As with any rebellion or social change coming forth from within society, the status quo is the point of resistance. Whatever the point of push-away is, that is where the rebellion is ‘against,’ thus always anchoring the rebellion to the status quo. The current upwelling of change has presented and nurtured the idea that change, once again, is possible. The presence of Uranus in Aries during the years of 2011-2018 can bring about an uprising of volatile conservative sentiments. Western astrology notes that Aries is a trailblazer. Uranus loves radical changes. And conservative ideas becoming radicalized is the last thing you would consider being generated during their blending time. But that is exactly what happened 84 years ago, the last time Uranus made a transit through Aries. All the extremes in the European governments arose – Hitler, Mussolini and Stalin – because the people felt that these leaders offered a path that ďŹ t what they thought was right. Fortunately, that is not so long ago that the lessons of that time can be forgotten. Yet, the present conservative party in the USA has become entrapped with severe religious teachings. A positive factor to help us at this time is the non-violent teachings that have become part of some cultures. With the militarization of community police, we are realizing that the mindset of terrorism defense can be used against the constitutional rights of the peacefully protesting people. The many paths to creating new conditions, relationships and patterns of organization can come from a personal place of being centered and allowing a vision to come forth to better ďŹ t the community’s needs. Shamanic journey work can assist in this creative process, as spirit helpers have a greater vision of the dance of life and can offer a different view of being. Peace to all!

Tapping The Power
By Carolyn Cobelo I recently spent time in the beautiful valley of Wahala on Molokai with its many ancient sacred heiau. As we were driving there, I felt beings in other dimensions who were excited that we were coming to inaugurate positive energy and assist the Earth with our upcoming events on Maui. In preparation, here is a special message that I channeled from the Light beings who reside there: “We welcome you here with great anticipation. There is taking place now a rapid rebalancing of the Earth in order to take us into a new way of being. Deep within the core of the Earth the rumblings are beginning to intensify. The islands of Hawaii will be a director of actions on Earth in response to catastrophes, for she has resilience and understanding that is stronger than other places on Earth. “All of Hawaii is a beam of light and a magnetic anchor point for the Sun. Even the extinct volcanoes have an incredible Earth force. If you imagine a huge beam of light coming out of the volcanoes, shaped in a triangle, this is the way the energies are moving, and it travels to stars like the Pleiades. “With your human intention, you can assist in channeling this energy to help the Earth move more easily through the 2012 shift. If you imagine all of the tips of the volcanoes coming together in a huge beam of light interconnecting with the Sun’s light, that electromagnetic fusion will be of great help to the Earth. That’s why being here in Hawaii over the next couple of years is going to be extremely important. Let love prevail and human living be of love and respect for all!�

Quan Yin Shares Message
By Rev. Debbie Dehm I asked my inner spiritual teacher Quan Yin what she would like to say about the coming year, and this is an edited version of the message I received: “The next year has the potential to be one of great peace. As a group, you have decided that you are tired of war and feel it serves no one. This Christmas season will be one of great joy as more and more of you feel and become aware of how your consciousness has been uplifted. Listen intently and you will be able to hear the angels singing with you. All the hosts of heaven look forward to seeing you make your way home in Christ’s consciousness in this coming year. “Women will take a leadership role in the great changes to the beneďŹ t of all, which will be considered in every decision. Women will no longer try to ‘go along’ with the patriarchal way of getting things done - they will be inspired by their divine goddess selves to approach everything with compassion, love and respect. “They will be ďŹ erce lionesses, protecting children and other women ďŹ rst. The divine balance between your masculine and feminine will be restored, with women teaching men how they can be strong and gentle at the same time. Men will learn to value women again as wise, equal beings. “Even the animal kingdom will be changing and you will be able to better communicate with your animals. Mother Earth will ďŹ nally be recognized as a living being, as the indigenous people have always known. They too will be sought out as a great source of wisdom and you will walk more softly on the earth. “You are entering such an amazing time. There are many changes, be as surprised as a child on Christmas morning.â€? – Namaste, Quan Yin.

Exploring Vital Energy Points
By Jackie and Dave Reed The word marma means secret, hidden, vital energy. Marmas are special points of energy located throughout the entire body and are much like the acupuncture points of traditional Chinese medicine. A marma point is deďŹ ned as an anatomical site where esh, veins, arteries, bones, tendons and joints conjoin. Each marma is a receptor point on the skin that directly relates to different bodily tissues and organs. They are the points through which prana, our life force or master energy, travels. These points are used to activate and heal organs, tissues, bones, skin and muscles. Marma points are classiďŹ ed in different ways and each classiďŹ cation has ďŹ ve components. The ďŹ rst classiďŹ cation is according to the region of the body in which they occur, such as upper and lower limbs, abdomen and thorax, back and trunk, and head and neck. The second way marma points are classiďŹ ed is by the tissues they are composed of: muscular, blood vessels, ligaments and tendons, joints and bones. Marmas are most easily stimulated by pressure applied with the ďŹ ngers, particularly with the thumbs. To stimulate a marma point, a deep but not painful pressure should be applied for one to three minutes and followed with a gentle massage of the region. Marma therapy can be done in conjunction with other types of massage. Another way to stimulate marma is to apply an invigorating oil like eucalyptus or camphor.
Jackie and Dave Reed operate Maui Herbs, an Ayurvedic Healing Center in Kihei. Both are clinical Ayurveda specialists. Jackie specializes in pulse analysis. Dave is a chiropractor and Vedic astrologer. He blends marma therapy with his deep tissue massage and adjustments. Call 808.879.9920 or check out their website mauiherbs.net for more information.
To Heal With Your Hands
By Diane Larson Reiki has a way of finding you at just the perfect time. For me, it was spring of 2006. I was glancing through a VITEC catalog when I noticed a Reiki natural healing class. Something in me lit up and before I knew it, I had registered for training. From that point on, my life changed direction. Things that I thought were important, I realized, were not. Then the fun began - Reiki started gifting me with small miracles and those small miracles added up to create amazing, healthy life changes. Reiki is a sacred form of hands-on healing that works by supplying you with the energy you need to heal yourself. Reiki removes blocked energy of the mind, body, spirit and emotions; it assists in healing the cause of an ailment which, in turn, alleviates the symptoms. Receiving treatments and attending classes are the two ways that you can reap its endless healing benefits. Reiki has deep roots in Hawaii - the first place it was practiced outside of Japan in the western world was Kauai in 1936. Reiki was created in Japan, by Dr. Mikao Usui in the late 1800s. In 1936 it was given to the Third Grand Master of Reiki, Mrs. Hawayo Takata, to bring to her home in Hawaii. Reiki means “universal life energy” and the energy itself comes from our inexhaustible Source. Being a full time Reiki master is truly a committed spiritual path. As I let go of my old, “not so great for me” ways and completely allowed Reiki to lead me, liberation and joy have been ever present in my world. It’s with gratitude that I thank Reiki for being my most gracious guide and constant source of inspiration. Diane Larson is a full time Reiki master and owner of Maui Island Reiki. She teaches first and second degree Reiki classes and hands-on treatments on Maui and distant treatments worldwide. To get in touch, visit MauiIslandReiki.com or call 808.385.4661.
GO GREEN!
“I’ve seen the future and it works,” said Lincoln Steffens. (in 1933, after his first visit to the new Soviet society)
Well, the future I see is green, very green. It’s a pesticide-free, organic future that uses resource-efficient materials and boasts gardens and orchards everywhere. There’s room for help on the land to keep it all together. It’s the kind of property I have developed for myself and the kind of land that conscious buyers are looking for.
Real sustainable properties are seldom available. Right now I have two incredible properties, created by visionary women.
Haiku Haven is a very private valley with 4.3 acres of cleared land in the midst of eucalyptus trees. The stucco house is a beautiful group of octagons sited on a knoll surrounded by a stream. The house was built from local hardwoods; the high ceilings provide both natural light and good ventilation.
Below the house are bamboo groves, including giant, timber-grade gadua, and an orchard of mature, exotic fruits trees ready to feed your extended family. Nicely tucked away on the periphery, are three jungle hales, a yoga space with an adjoining kitchen, a tractor barn and a shed full of tools you will need to maintain the property. The entire enterprise is powered by a robust solar system.
At a higher elevation, Cloud Farm is 20+ acres on Olinda Road. For the past ten years this has been the site of the annual Body and Soil conferences and has benefited from years of best farming practices. With about 5 acres under cultivation (leased by a master organic farmer), Kumulani Gardens is the largest organic vegetable farm in the state. The original home has been lovingly restored and a large wraparound deck gives it a contemporary feel. A great old lumber barn has been transformed into a sunny, bright French country kitchen and a private bedroom and bath were added. There is a small cottage, an equipment shed, chicken coops and orchards with apples, peaches, pears and persimmon.
If you are planning on living close to the land, call me to arrange a showing of one of these rare properties. The hard work has already been done! Coldwell Banker Island Properties 874-8668 real estate broker, sustainability specialist. December/January, 2011-2012

Astrology Predicts Change And AwakeningWorld
By Shakti Carola Navran Change is in the air. Protests in the streets show the rising pressure for change in the corporate world and in society. We all agree that change is needed and what exact form that change will take is still an evolutionary process. I believe that each one of us will contribute to the shape it will take. Astrology holds some answers for us because it gives us the conscious awareness for higher or lower level choices based on the energetic, archetypal ďŹ elds involved. It reects and helps us to understand what is going on in the bigger picture and how we can personally adapt the best. Uranus and Pluto are the scary guys giving us all such a hard time lately! Uranus, the god of revolution, lightning, sudden changes and earthquakes is ďŹ ghting (squaring) with Pluto, the god of hell, the underworld, death and transformation. This will happen seven times in the next four years. This is huge and it will change the world. With Pluto’s pass over the threshold into Capricorn, the global economy tumbled into a meltdown touching myriads of layers in our personal lives since 2008. When Uranus entered Aries on March 13, 2011, the big earthquake and tsunami devastated Japan and shook the world awake to the fact that nuclear reactors are not safe or controllable.
The good news is that Pluto in Capricorn will eventually lead to a more sustainable and ethical economy based on the needs of many versus the greed of a few. And Uranus in Aries impels us to face injustice with rebellion and develop innovative strategies for change. We are at the dawn of a new millennium – it will just take some time for it to manifest fully into a brighter day. And then there is Neptune offering us salvation and hope. Neptune will be in Aquarius one last time before he oats into Pisces for good on February 3, 2012. We will be given the gift of compassion and a sense of oneness that will help with the rough journey we are on right now. Turning to each other for support, advice, help and love is a smart way to deal with life’s challenges.
As individuals, the choices we have are to become as conscious as possible and contribute our little bit of love and higher perspective to the boiling cauldron of change. And some of us play very active roles in this evolutionary process as visionary leaders, healers or spiritual teachers. Depending on where transiting Pluto, Uranus and Neptune show up in your astrological chart and touch your planets, it shows you where your expertise and soul commitment resides. It shows you how you can successfully ride these enormous waves of tremendous changes. This whole process is deeply challenging and satisfying for your soul when you get it right! Consciousness is the key, then integrating and applying what you know is crucial. As any surfer here in Hawaii will testify, it is always easier to go with the ow than against it. Life also has a ow, which emanates from the universal forces. Have a good ride and many blessings! Shakti Carola Navran is an evolutionary astrologer and a published author. With 33 years of practice, she can read the psycho-dynamic information of your chart in the karmic perspective of the evolution of your soul, which adds a deeply meaningful frame.

Integrating Your Low Vibes
By Julie Migneault So often I encounter those on a spiritual journey who seek spiritual bliss, divine love and to be in a state of non-judgment, open-heartedness and joy as much as possible. Does that sound good to you? Totally! Yet do you ever feel irritable? Frustrated? Anxious? Me, too! Part of the transformational journey requires us to become fully embodied. We accomplish this by being fully cognizant and open to all levels of our being – spiritual, emotional and physical. That’s right, it means embracing our humanness and the challenges that present themselves along our paths. We can begin to do this through a process of recognizing and integrating the lower vibrational energies that exist within all of us. They may show up as feelings of fear, sadness, grief, anger or resentment. What if we opened ourselves up to feeling these emotions instead of doing the same habitual thing – pushing them down, ignoring them, or judging ourselves for feeling them? There is true opportunity for release from old patterns and from repeating old reactions when we begin to see these energies and emotions in a new way. We can start by acknowledging their presence and allowing them to be consciously felt. In this way we move away from unconsciously projecting them onto those around us and create space to see new choices for our lives. As we do so, we release more of our life force and move into an integrated experience of our human vulnerability and spiritual power. I encourage you to love and appreciate the experience of your lower vibrational energies and just see how it changes your world. Julie Migneault is a channel and transformational business coach. She supports spiritual entrepreneurs and individuals in fully expressing their gifts and creating abundance in their lives. Contact her at 808.446.5426 or julie@julie-migneault.com for a free 15-minute consultation.
Tonic Herbs For Health
By Kalei Allen Extending back thousands of years, Chinese herbal medicine offers a rich heritage and history in healthcare and healing. Trained herbalists know that there are three steps to wellness – symptomatic care, corrective care, and prophylactic care. Tonic herbs, used in the ďŹ nal step, fall into four categories - energy, yin, yang, and blood - and are recommended based on the unique conditions and requirements. Energy tonics are used to increase the body’s available supply of vital energy by tonifying the lung and spleen organ-energy systems and enhancing the body’s production of energy from food and air. Yang tonics boost the body’s supply of primal energy by stimulating and “warmingâ€? the kidney organ-energy system. Yang deficiency will manifest in cold hands and feet, male sexual dysfunction, urinary incontinence, poor memory and low immunity. Renowned as aphrodisiacs, yang tonics can also improve cerebral function and immunity. Yin tonics nourish the yin energy of the kidneys, lungs, stomach, and liver and enhance the body’s secretions of vital uids. They are applied primarily in case of excess heat and dryness, as well as for yin deďŹ ciency and/or yang excess. Blood tonics are used in cases of blood deďŹ ciency/anemia or insufďŹ cient circulation. They are particularly beneďŹ cial to the female reproductive system, including fertility and menstrual function. Unlike herbs for symptomatic and corrective care, tonic herbs are meant to be used exclusively by healthy people to maintain health, prevent disease, boost vitality and prolong life. Using tonic herbs when one is weak or ill will likely overheat the body and worsen the condition. So, if you become ill, you should immediately stop using tonics and instead use curative remedies and nutritional supplements to correct your condition and restore optimal health. Kalei Allen, M.S., L.Ac., is a licensed acupuncturist and certiďŹ ed colon hydrotherapist, specializing in Chinese herbal medicine, detoxiďŹ cation programs and energy medicine at the Lani’aina Wellness Center in South Kihei.

What Is Satsang? By Eli Jaxon-Bear Satsang is a Sanskrit word with two parts: sat is immortal being, sang is association. Derived from the same root, a Sangha is a community of truth seekers. Associating with your true immortal being is what Satsang is about and to do so, you have to see deeper than identifying yourself as a human being. As long as the veil of identifying yourself as a human being is what you believe to be real, then you miss the shining of your immortal being. We are here to be willing to pierce the veils and see through the false identities so we can ďŹ nd what is real. What is real doesn’t appear as long as we identify with what we believe is real. If we focus our attention on what we believe is real, then that’s what we see. We all are born into identities as human beings and we all start our lives believing that what we see is real. As long as we believe that humanness is what is real, we miss the reality of ourselves as immortal beings. That’s what Satsang is for – to bring us back to our true selves. I’ve been very lucky in my life; I’ve had some wonderful teachers. One was my Taoist teacher, Shirfu Chiang, with whom I spent three years. I learned so much from him. Among other things, he taught me Chinese
calligraphy. To do Chinese calligraphy you have to hold the brush a certain way, you have to make the strokes a certain way. You have to copy the teacher’s form. If you copy the teacher’s form perfectly, you will be able to do Chinese calligraphy or Tai Chi or whatever the teacher is teaching. With my Tibetan Buddhist teacher, there was a certain form you had to do. I did prostrations and learned different prayers, different visualizations and mantras and other useful practices. These were all forms, and the point of it

is to learn the teacher’s form. If you can do the form as well as the teacher does, then you have become a master of that form. Satsang is not like that. There is no form. There is nothing to practice, there is nothing to copy. You can’t do it the way the teacher did it. There is no way of being you. There is no form you can follow. It is a mistake if you try and copy the teacher’s form as far as immortal being goes, because it doesn’t work. You can’t copy spontaneity. You can’t copy your own true inner wisdom. There is no pattern that you can follow. Satsang is not about practicing something. It’s not about learning something. It’s not about something that you can lose. It is realizing what is already always here. That can’t be lost. It is a category mistake if you try and take the role of the teacher who is teaching you something and put it into the realm of Satsang. Because here there is nothing to learn. You can’t learn to be yourself. And there is no form. You can’t lose it. You can’t forget it. You can’t in some way make it happen. You already are what you are searching for. American teachers, authors and married partners Gangaji and Eli Jaxon-Bear travel the globe, extending an invitation to discover true peace and freedom through self-realization. They will visit Maui in late February and early March. For event details, visit leela.org or gangaji.org, call local contact Grace, 808.283.1222; or e-mail her at gracelove@hawaiiantel.net.
Changing The Patterns
By Heather Ardoin, MPT, CPI, RYT Too often we ignore the subtle whispers of our bodies, and small pains can lead to injuries over time. How we address these injuries is a chance for growth – we can treat the symptoms, or we can inquire into the underlying causes. When we take the time to slow down and reflect, our bodies can reveal important information about movement patterns, or holding patterns that may not be serving us. So often we want to fix the problem - get rid of the pain. Sometimes letting go is what we need. The body’s wisdom is innate. It wants to bring us back into balance. When we learn to let go and feel, we can change the patterns that are holding us back from healing. Here’s a simple exercise to ease your back, neck, and shoulder stress: While lying down, comfortably, gently rest one hand on your lower belly, fingers wide, palms soft. Rest the other hand over your heart, shoulder soft, and elbow on the floor. Passively allow breath to fill your lower abdomen first, then breathe into the space between your hands, finally filling both front and back of your heart space. Exhale completely, passively. Repeat for 5- 10 minutes. Become aware of any tension you are holding in your body, and let it go with each exhale. When you are finished, slowly come back to sitting and feel the changes in your body. When we allow ourselves to support our bodies, we are free to let go, feel, and inquire. Take the time to listen to your body. You may be surprised at what it is telling you. Heather Ardoin is a licensed physical therapist, a certified Pilates instructor, and a registered yoga teacher. She is the owner of Therapeutic Fusion, a holistic practice in South Maui offering physical therapy, group therapeutic yoga classes, and private Pilates and yoga sessions.

Rebel Without A Pause?
By Michael Krugman Are you one of the millions who rebels against sleep? “I’m too busy to sleep.” “I have better things to do with my time.” “I’m on a really tight schedule.” “I’ll sleep when I’m dead.” It’s amazing how often we hear business leaders, politicians, lawyers, students and teachers, athletes – even yogis – brag about how little sleep they allow themselves. For too many of us, sleep is out, self-denial is in. By contrast, one of my favorite sleepaffirming stories is about William McCool, the much-admired astronaut who lost his life while piloting the space shuttle Challenger in 1993. In college, McCool was an honors student who always made himself available to schoolmates who needed help with math or science problems. But he had strict a policy that no one could disturb him after 10 p.m. He was in bed by 10, asleep by 11, every night of his college career. McCool understood that adequate sleep is a pre-requirement for academic excellence as well as for top-notch physical and mental performance. Later, as a young jet pilot, McCool’s EA-6B “Prowler” lost power and went into a flat spin, a so-called “death spiral,” virtually ensuring a crash. His instantaneous corrective action made him the first Prowler pilot ever to recover from such a spin. He saved the plane and his crew. In honor of Cmdr. McCool, I offer ten reasons to be sure you get all the restful sleep you need: 1) better judgment and decision making, 2) quicker reaction times, 3) heightened emotional intelligence, 4) enhanced ability to learn and remember, 5) safer driving, 6) greater energy, alertness and physical vitality, 7) better bone health, 8) improved hormonal profile, 9) slow the aging process and 10) feel better, enjoy life more! Michael Krugman is the founder of the Sounder Sleep System, “selfhealing for insomnia and the stress of life.” He offers group classes and private consultations on Maui year-round.

Tired of Your Up Rising Pant Size? By Karen Frangos, N.D. Most weight loss programs fail because they do not address the causes of fat storage that can lead to obesity, and because the programs do not meet individual needs. Certain medical conditions contribute to failure as well, including thyroid disease, constipation, poor digestion, poor liver function, poor carbohydrate metabolism, water retention, food sensitivities, toxic metals stored in fat tissue, and stress hormone imbalance, among others. Naturopathic doctors (NDs) specialize in identifying and treating conditions like these, which inhibit weight loss and overall health. By providing natural, safe and effective options for a healthy diet and lifestyle, NDs promote permanent weight loss while helping to optimize health. Changing your approach to weight loss incor-
porates the following suggestions: Throw your scale out! Gauge weight loss by the changes in your clothes and body dimensions. Never use a low-calorie diet again. NDs can work with you to determine the lifetime eating plan that is right for you. Goals are to achieve and maintain balance in your life - your food, work, home, self, exercise, reactions to life and emotions.
Have patience and diligence for 24-36 months and expect consistent, small results (e.g., lose 2 lbs/month x 36 months = 72 lbs!). Surround yourself with people who support you and your goals. Regularly do something that you love. Consult a licensed ND for supplemental nutrients that are necessary for proper metabolism of fats and carbohydrates, botanical medicine for help with stress reaction and relaxation, and exercise to increase lean body mass and burn fat. Dr. Karen Frangos is a licensed naturopathic doctor and physical therapist with a unique approach to weight management that utilizes individualized blood type nutrition, comprehensive exercise, simple, stress-busting techniques, and select, high-quality natural remedies.

“Life is too short and precious to suffer needlessly.�
Breathe Through The Uprising
By Sa’arah We are currently experiencing an uprising of everything that is not love - inside of us as well as in our environment. At this pivotal time in history, we are going deeper and deeper into our core issues as all old energy is rising up for release. This can be uncomfortable, painful, or result in feelings of upheaval. I recently had the privilege of re-experiencing how much my thought and emotions affect my body – how physical pain is so intrinsically interwoven with my emotions. I experienced how slight changes in my thinking and emotional state had an immediate effect on my physical pain level. Often we forget this connectedness, and by ignoring, rationalizing, or pushing away our emotions we become more and more insensitive. We all have a tendency to tighten up when we encounter unpleasant situations and emotions, which can result in our locking those fearful emotions in our physical bodies. An amazing, yet simple, tool for being aware of and releasing negative energy in our minds and bodies is the conscious breath. Whenever you feel uneasiness within, focus on your breath and start consciously breathing through the emotions until you feel a shift. You could also choose to take slower, deeper and more rhythmic breaths. The breathing takes you out of your mind and its perpetuating story, into the present moment, and connects you with your feelings. With this simple tool you are able to start making different choices about what “comes up� for you. We are not only connected with our bodies we are connected with each other, and when we do our inner healing work, we assist others with their own Uprising. Sa’arah Esther Felix is an intuitive healer and creator of the “Sacred Awakening� card deck with which she gives readings. She supports people in their awakening by helping them to release tensions and traumas, guiding them to a more peaceful and balanced life. Call 808.264.5698 or visit SacredAwakening.net
