From the Creator of HBM...

O

ur feature this month may surprise you… it’s about magic and miracles.

And I wanted to start by acknowledging our contributors and small businesses who have kept creating in a very precarious time which is nothing short of miraculous. This in turn has allowed Holistic Bliss to continue to be created and share stories of hope and inspiration.

So why are we talking about magic and miracles during a big time of transition? Many would say the topic of magic is important to be discussed at any time and even more right now. And at the same time, it’s not about denying what challenges exist. We know through

‘FOLLOW YOUR

every inch of our being that magic is our very nature and miracles are possible to witness on a daily basis. Many of us know on a deep level that we are in the midst of a great collective awakening and somehow it will lead to the world we know is possible. This awakening relies on us acknowledging and being the magic we have come here to be, rather than just waiting for the pot of gold at the end of the rainbow to show up first for us to believe it is possible. We are the change we have been looking for.

We can start noticing magic in the smallest of things. Have you ever thought about how miraculous your body is and tuned into the rise and fall of your breathing? Truly miraculous! It might be acknowledging the courage it takes to put one foot in front of the other right now and keep asking the question, what else is possible? And are you prepared to keep asking for miracles, without needing to know how they will show up, just being willing and open to receive?

It was a gift to interview spiritual teacher Linda Willow Roberts this month; please read my cover story and hear about the magic she shares on page 20-21.

food for the soul

Celebrating the

miracle milestones in life

WORDS JOEL GRACE

I

t’s funny how times of celebration often turn into moments of reflection too. This month we’re celebrating our 5th birthday in the clinic, which is a huge milestone that also coincides with my 7-year cancer-free anniversary.

That’s a double reason to celebrate if you ask me!

The past seven years of my life have taken so many twists and turns I never would have anticipated. Aged only 31, I was told that I had Stage III Metastatic Melanoma that had already spread to my lymph system. This aggressive and deadly cancer only offered a 10-15% chance of survival. I didn’t like the sound of those odds! But I also knew I wanted to do everything within my power to beat this.

From surgery and radiotherapy to remove the tumours, to changing my diet to mostly organic, raw and vegan, to high-dose intravenous Vitamin C therapy, to a plethora of juicing, fasting and cleansing protocols;

there’s not much I didn’t do in the pursuit of natural health. The key for me though was gut health. I wanted my immune system to be as strong as possible, and given approximately 80% of our immune system is in the gut, I knew this would be the key to my longevity. Which is why I focused on deep-cleaning from the inside out with colonics and coffee enemas.

The almost magical results I achieved from colon cleansing were life-changing for me. I knew that I wanted to do this as a career so I could help people in the same way I’d been helped. I still wonder what on Earth was I thinking when I decided to open my own business less than a year after I was diagnosed! But as I celebrated my 1-year cancer-free status, I was also quitting my corporate marketing job and starting to plan how I could open my own clinic within the next year.

I’ve been so fortunate since I opened the doors at Sunshine Colonics

Open 7 days 10am-5pm Maroochydore

to have welcomed the most beautiful people into my life. We’ve performed almost 10,000 colonics in these first 5 years, and it’s truly one of the most rewarding jobs in the world. I love seeing nearly every client arrive nervous about what lies ahead, knowing full well they are about to be blown away by the experience which leaves them wondering why they were ever hesitant in the first place! Being able to steer people onto a path of optimum health, and help them resolve debilitating gutrelated ailments, is such a special space to hold.

So as we begin our celebrations for our 5th birthday (and my own personal milestone), I want to send love and thanks to each and every one of you who have shared their journey with me.

Here’s to at least another 5 years of gratitude for good gut health! www.sunshinecolonics.com.au

food for the soul

The

fascinating hidden world

in your garden

Words MORAG GAMBLE

A

simple kitchen garden is full of wonderful surprises and untold possibilities to transform your life in the most unexpected ways. I can help you make a real difference – as well as nourishing you, of course.

Let your garden be your mentor.

Slow down, observe and reconnect with nature and natural rhythms.

Appreciate the small things, the minute, the invisible. Show gratitude to the community of life. Listen deeply and observe with all your senses. Respond to change with grace and care; be in service to the whole. Let this ripple through your day and ‘myceliate’ your life.

Our gardens are our everyday portal to the wonders of the natural world. Nature tends towards thriving abundance. A garden, like nature, is an ongoing dance and building of relationships.

The art of growing beautiful, healthy food begins with nurturing

these relationships, especially with the living soil and thriving unseen world that exists below our feet. The vitality and nutritional density of our food depends on this. It’s a magical world.

In just one handful of living soil there are over 100 billion organisms and 50km of mycelium threads – those little white threads you sometimes see when looking under a rotting log in a damp corner of the garden. (Mycelium is the plant part of a fungus and mushrooms are the fruiting body.)

Mycelium creates a branching underground web that extends deep into the finest crevices of the soil collecting nutrients and water. They attach to roots and connect plants together in community. For 90% of plants in the world, these threads extend the reach of roots to more than double their access to food and water, and help plants communicate with one another.

Did you know that the largest living thing on the planet is a humongous fungus – a huge mycelium web? Hidden

from view under a forest in Oregon, this organism covers almost 2500 acres and is over 8000 years old, connecting and nourishing the entire forest as one community.

Re-imagine your garden as a community above and below ground.

See every plant as being connected to each other, the soil, the birds and bees that visit, and your bioregion. You are part of that community too. Care for the whole and feed the soil.

The way to do this is simple: compost and cover. Feed your soil with lots of organic matter and make sure you protect it from exposure to the sun, drying out, use of chemicals and disturbance. This is why organic no-dig gardening works so well (see my online tutorial below). www.moraggamble.com

How can

5 ¢ , $5 and more contribute to your life?

Words NICOLA SILVA

T

o a free spirit, the idea of being confined to my home indefinitely during a pandemic wasn’t something I welcomed. Yet, what has unfolded in this time of quietude is truly unexpected.

Contrary to expectations, I haven’t binged on the television shows in my favourites folder. I have gone on rambling walks with my 11-year-old whippet, watched the autumn colours deepen, and pondered the various moving parts and pieces of my life.

Change can be subtle and surprising.

This was most noticeable with regards to money. Like many Australian families, we too experienced job loss and a wage cut. (On the flip side, my son who works for a supermarket was busier than ever and also kept us supplied with essentials!)

This sense of uncertainty has encouraged me to use the Access Consciousness money tools I have learned.

I am remembering to ask, “If I buy you, will you make me money?” of every loaf of bread, tub of yoghurt or bunch of spinach. This question is designed to allow every molecule in the universe to contribute to you, and it’s easy to ask when making large purchases. Or so I told myself.

The reality is that $5 can be a contribution to my life. How many of us ignore five cents on the footpath while moaning about not having enough money? Through these behaviours, I’ve been sending mixed messages to the universe. Asking for more money – universe, show me the money – while disparaging and rejecting smaller sums.

What if we never defined money by the amount we receive but are always surprised and grateful for every cent that shows up?

This brings me to something else I’ve noticed. Ever since life shrank down to essentials, I have more gratitude for the treats I receive. Lately, I’ve been running errands and shopping

for my mum. Mum is in her eighties and loves to reward people in tangible ways. Before, I would have impatiently brushed off her slabs of chocolates or packs of tea towels. Now I allow myself to receive these small offerings she enjoys giving.

Also, with more businesses opting for card payments and me making fewer impulse purchases, my pile of cash has grown. One day I opened my wallet and marvelled at the beautiful colours of Aussie currency I had accumulated.

Another money tool I have learned is to carry the sum of money I think a rich person would carry. For years I resisted this as being crass and vulgar, or I would carry lots of cash and then spend it. It took a pandemic to change these judgments.

I wonder what else is possible for me to change? www.accessconsciousness.com/en/publicprofiles/nicola-silva/

Writing down your ideal day for powerful manifestation WORDS SANDY FORSTER

and become a better person. Then I’d listen to personal development audios and hopefully share what I’d learnt with someone else and make a difference in their lives.”

I said to a friend, “If I was living my ideal day, I’d never have time to work.”

I didn’t for a moment think I’d ever experience that life.

Fast-forward six months, I was attending a seminar for a new business I joined selling personal development audios and seminars.

The first day was ‘business training’, and we were told, “to be successful, you have to plan your day”, and our homework was to fill in a day planner.

That evening I thought, “how exactly do I spend my time these days?”

First, I get up in the morning and meditate, do some yoga then run down the beach. After I get home, I take the kids to school and go to the gym; then come home and study some of

the personal development books and audios I sell. Then I phone people and tell them how great the products are.

At this point I’m getting chills down my spine, as I remembered writing an identical list months earlier, thinking it would be an impossibility. And here I was living it and making $10,000 a month – almost as much as I’d make in an entire year previously!

In that moment, sitting on my hotel bed with tears of joy and gratitude running down my face, I realised – not just in my head but in my heart – that I had the power to write my own script; that I could design my future and create the life of my dreams.

So, I invite you to grab your magic pen and begin manifesting your own miracles.

remember listening to an audio about the power between the pen and the mind; how writing unleashes magic that is far greater than your actions could ever produce by themselves and why it’s so important to write down your goals. It suggested I write down my ‘ideal day’.

At the time, I was over $100,000 in debt and working seven-days-a-week in a business I didn’t enjoy and receiving the sole parent benefit (welfare) of $15,000 a year from the government.

To say I was stressed about money was a mammoth understatement.

But this was going to be fun… how would my ideal day look? How would it feel?

“First,” I wrote, “I’d get up in the morning and meditate, do some yoga, and then walk along the beach. I’d come home, get the kids to school, then go to the gym. Afterwards, I’d read some inspiring books to help me grow

Magic, money and miracles WORDS KATH ORMAN

H

ave you ever wished that you had a magic wand and could wave it over your bank account so millions of dollars appear? Or perhaps change the amount of debt (funds you owe) to credit (money you have in the bank).

Wouldn’t that be nice? I know managing your money and finances can be challenging and sometimes even overwhelming. I explain to my clients that we look at the ‘big picture’ of your life, where you are and where you want to be. It all comes together like a big jigsaw puzzle and we address each piece separately.

The first step you take in waving your wand, is to be honest with yourself and admit that you need help. At Goals & Dreams Financial Planning, we always endeavour to make new clients feel comfortable and relaxed and congratulate them on taking that first step. A very important part of the puzzle is to find out what your goals

and dreams are. What are the important things on your wish list in life? When you are bogged down with the daily ‘hamster wheel of life’, it’s sometimes hard to believe that any dreams can come true. You feel trapped in a rut of going to work, paying the bills, and never having anything left over. Does this sound familiar?

I can happily share with you, that when you take ownership of your decisions, work out how much you actually need to live on (by doing a budget), it is often quite surprising that there are opportunities you weren’t aware of. Or perhaps you begin to learn new skills and develop an increased level of understanding and your previous fear abates and is replaced with empowerment. It is so much easier when you have someone working with you, to cheer you on and guide you through the mire. It is like having a personal trainer for your finances.

It’s an amazing feeling to help clients

step up and walk in the direction of their dreams. We have a huge postcard board, where we display the cards that clients have sent from all over the world. Alongside those cards, are pictures of new cars, caravans, and gorgeous babies. Clients have been able to enjoy the journey, whilst still planning for the future.

Our first consultation is free and perhaps that may be all you need to get you started.

PS. I do actually have a magic wand – it is pink and has flashing lights and goes bbrrrring… The clients laugh so hard when I bring it out.

MAGIC AND MIRACLES

The miracle mind WORDS JENNI MADISON

A

ccording to the accomplished yogis of our times, our mind can be our greatest cause of misery or our stairway to the divine.

In contemplating what a miracle is, I perceive mind as a lush landscape with a multitude of layers. These layers are a forest of thoughts, knowledge, ideas, images and creative possibilities amidst the conscious and subconscious portals. These layers establish the pathways either toward, or away from pure potentiality, the very home and unchartered territories of the miraculous.

A miracle may also be referred to as the unknown or the unseen in action. The birth of a child, the innate intelligence of nature, death, life, cycles and existence itself, are the very expression of creation in action.

Much of this may not be directly perceived by the reasoning or logical part of mind. However it is real and manifest and happening all around us,

simultaneously within the seen and the unseen worlds.

Manifestation may be of a scientificbased technology derived from the human mind, or nature-based, such as the flowering of a bud, the birth of a child, or the creation of a mango from seed derived from nature’s mind.

But it has first been attained within the mindscape. Thus the mind as we know it, with all of its depths and multi-dimensional layers, is indeed a landscape for the miraculous force that fuels all of creation.

Inspiration is a beautiful expression of spirit, that which connects us to the source of life. Inspiration enters our creative and personal mindscape and speaks from possibility toward action. A note on ‘the personal’ here, as there is indeed my mind, the personal, and also the one inter-connected collective mind of pure potentiality.

As we explore the lush landscape of mind, and maintain a focus toward potentiality, we begin to create. Here

the possibilities are limitless, the miracles are endless. All that has ever been created, all that has even been made manifest was first established within the mindscape.

Mind is a powerful tool, a potential gift to the person in charge, that is the director of its focus, you!

With awareness as your part within the whole, and an alignment to the highest good of all, the mind is the miracle that links the self toward creation. It’s not presented as a linear limited pathway but rather as a myriad of unlimited possibilities. Miracle after miracle, after miracle, everything in existence is of itself a miracle.

Magic, partner to the miraculous, is the bridge that carries creation across the ethers of the unseen to the manifestation of the seen, a co-creative partnership that dances the dance of creation from one moment unto the next. www.lionheartworkshops.com

MAGIC AND MIRACLES

Your

emotional body has special gifts

Words JULES O’NEILL

Y

our emotional body is your inner strength. I will back this statement to the moon and back, and then again!

It can give us any awareness and direction, directly from our higher self.

And be the bread crumbs to the path of our hearts. In a nutshell, it’s our bible to ‘know thy self’ – the unconditioned light body version we all are.

Here are five ways your emotional body is magical and miraculous: 1. It will open your creative gifts, and you become a miracle in who you are and what you be! I’ve seen this happen, time and time again. We’re all gifted in something we love doing and contributing, right? Something we love expressing; something that excites us to continually explore, craft and create.

Whether it is art, music, philosophy, poetry, writing or creating products for others to love and enjoy, your emotional body can magically take you here.

2. We’re all conditioned and programmed to be less than we are.

The Amazing

Let’s be honest here, our collective internal worlds of love, oneness, divinity etc are tangled – for some of us, really tangled. The only way to untangle all this is to collectively update our internal beliefs on humanity – together.

Miraculously, your emotional body is the directory for which inner beliefs need updating, so we’re all living a life we know in our hearts is possible.

3. What if your emotional body can be used as a flashlight into your subconscious? What’s triggering your emotions to wobble, or wobble intensely? The wobble could be anger, anxiety, depression, worry, guilt or shame. It doesn’t matter what it is, but it 100% matters that you do not blame anything or anyone for how you’re emotionally feeling, or fall under the illusion that your emotions are a problem that needs fixing, and you’re weak if you feel emotional all the time. Our emotions are messages from our hearts and higher selves, and if we use our flashlight regularly, we learn which emotions need managing,

understanding and transforming.

Magical, right?

4. When you connect and learn about your emotional body, over time, you find yourself in a place of unconditional love and peace with yourself and others. It knows the personal blueprint of you and our universe. Anything is possible to forgive, make allowance for and move through. It is case-by-case for each of us, collectively bringing us into a union of love. Miraculous!

5. Magically, your emotional body can connect to everything and anything in our universe. Any question can be answered from an unfiltered place, where we ‘know nothing’ but have access to everything! This is very magical!

A great way to begin to understand emotions and the magic and miracles they hold is to purchase my book Emotionally Happy Homes® from my website or anywhere online. www.julesoneill.com

MAGIC AND MIRACLES

Finding the ritual

in the routine

WORDS Courtney Stark

D

o you throw spilt salt over your shoulder or ‘knock on wood’?

How do you feel about black cats and broken mirrors? These superstitions are a reminder that magick is already all around us. My magickal practice isn’t about complex rituals and strange looking tools (although let’s be honest, they are pretty cool!). It’s about a connection to nature and finding sacredness in the everyday aspects of life. True magick lies in the power of your intent, and there are plenty of ways you can incorporate more ritual intention into your routine.

Make an altar. An altar is a defined sacred area where you place items of spiritual significance, and it can be as simple or ornate as you choose. My kitchen altar contains a candle that I light as I give thanks to the ancestors who fed and nourished those before me while preparing my evening meal.

Take a shower. Visualise any negativity washing off you and down

the drain as positive white or violet light flows down upon you. This simple technique can shift your mood instantly and is easily incorporated into your daily routine.

Give thanks. Every night at dinner, each person seated at our table says what they are thankful for. This simple ritual makes me appreciate the good things I have in life and helps me to seek out joy in my day.

Salute the sun. Every morning I spend time in the sun. Not only does this benefit my circadian rhythm and increase vitamin D levels, it also connects me to my environment. The sun is on a cycle, rising in the east and setting in the west. Every day we also rise and go about our day before retiring at night. The simplicity of recognising this cyclical connection reminds me that we are all in this together. The Earth, stars, moon, sun, animals, plants and humans are all connected, and I am part of that web of life.

Bare feet. Studies* have shown that connecting your bare feet with the Earth’s surface electrons (earthing) is a simple, natural way to improve health and wellbeing. Getting back to nature has never been more beneficial, and this technique reminds me again of the connectedness of all things.

We are part of the cycle of nature, not apart from it. We all have routines; it’s part of human nature. Having a ritual intention built into those routines that connects you to your spirituality and the Earth can reprogram your subconscious mind and help train you to see things from a different perspective. Once you start to recognise and honour that connection while implementing small moments of magick into your day, you’re well on your way to discovering the sacredness that occurs in the everyday. *See http://downloads.hindawi.com/ journals/jeph/2012/291541.pdf

MAGIC AND MIRACLES

Awakening to your own miracle WORDS mark Whittaker

W

hat if identifying as a modern human, simply meant choosing a limited experience?

Choice is often understood in modern society, in terms of how we better ourselves as thoughtful human beings, thinking, before we act.

Planning our lives into the future based on how we understand our past.

Realise in this moment your mind, is a beingness. Your mind is manifesting your life on behalf of the very beliefs that have been wired and fired into your mind unconsciously as you experience life. Therefore you are experiencing your life at the level of what you unconsciously came to believe from the moment you became a human being in this life.

But what if beyond your mind’s thoughts, beyond the way you understand yourself, there was another

state of being? What if you were more than a human being, more than what your mind’s accumulated beliefs believed you were?

The mind is simply what you came to believe in and identify with and believing that you are the identity of the mind is the manifestation of a limited human experience. You are not the mind, the mind is a chosen beingness.

Most people I talk to are led by their mind and therefore have a continual struggle with connecting back to their soul. The reason for this struggle is because the mind feels so believable.

That’s why it feels like such an extraordinary mystical experience when we are taken to the level of surrender that allows us to fully realise and experience who we truly are.

When we connect back to our soul’s truth; our true self, it feels like a miracle!

Because the truth is, beyond your mind is the miracle you’ve been searching for.

To heal beyond the limiting beliefs that create a life of struggle and connect back to one’s true self, is awakening to a life of limitless potential. When I intuitively awaken people to their true self and they witness the miracle within them, that is what I consider to be a true miracle in action.

Because the truth is, we wouldn’t be here if we weren’t searching for the miracle of an awakening. We are all seekers searching our lives for something greater, something beyond a limited human experience, it simply requires a choice to access our limitlessness.

Is there anything more miraculous than discovering who you truly are? www.markwhittaker.life

MAGIC AND MIRACLES

Are you

seeing the signs?

WORDS REBECCA-LEE

S

for everyday people like you and me?

What if miracles are also events we have contracted that lead us to grow on a deep level or lead us to our highest divine path? Maybe they are often subtle events that we don’t even notice.

Reflecting back on my life, I am in awe of how I have come to be in such a life. There have been many miracles along the way; they have just not been obvious to some as such.

• Challenges, heartache, betrayal and disappointment – it is hard to imagine that we could look upon these as miracles. However, on looking back, just about every single time, these events have opened me somehow; planted a seed of wisdom in me that becomes evident later down the track, or got me moving in a direction I wouldn’t have otherwise taken. So often these hardships are miracles at play.

ome people believe miracles are very rare acts of divine intervention that only happen in certain people’s lives. I’ve had clients suggest they’re not worthy enough or lucky enough to have such benevolent support. My beliefs around miracles have changed over the years as I have transformed myself from being a battler – a warrior, overcoming and surviving the perils of life – to someone who wants to own herself and her experiences in everything.

Whether miracles are real or not is a choice. You get to choose whether they exist and what they are. I don’t believe that the world is full of fluffy clouds and rainbows because I just don’t see how we would evolve from that, unfortunately. But I don’t believe that miracles are limited to rare acts from God either.

How can and do miracles happen

Surrender as much as you can to where your higher self and the Universe is taking you.

• Earth Angels in disguise – at certain points in my life, someone has come along and been there for me, whether that was to help me financially, take me under their wing, or just notice and talk to me about my pain or challenges. They often leave my life as fast as they come into it, but they serve me for a certain point.

• Signs and messages from a spirit – many times I have asked for a sign, just to know that I am not alone. That spirit hears me, and I see a feather, or a bird comes in and sings.

Life is nothing but constant miracles. We just have to have the right perception. www.rebecca-lee.com www.highvibrationcity.com

COVER STORY

L inda Willow s t er b o R

Magic in the Extraordinary and the Ordinary WORDS VANESSA FINNIGAN PHOTO TAMIKA McCALL OF BONNY PHOTOGRAPHY

I

magine for a moment you are in Karnak, Egypt, having a private viewing of the only statue of Sekhmet in the world. You are told by the tour guides how to enter and exit so you don’t

leave turning your back on the statue.

After your eyes adjust to the darkness, you see a stunning black 12-foot statue, and all of a sudden you see its chest moving in and out, breathing… The heart-based connection brings tears to your eyes as you see the statue’s eyes open and close.

This was one magical experience Linda Willow Roberts shared with me, and she was quick to say that it really rocked her at the time and gave her a different perspective of what was real and what was not. “I don’t think it was in my mind or in my spiritual knowingness; it was with my mortal eyes that I was

seeing this and it was one of many experiences that opened the door to so much more.”

What Linda witnessed wasn’t influenced by any religious beliefs connected with the statue and its origins.

It was more about being in the moment without any expectations. In fact, Linda said she doesn’t worship anyone or anything. Instead, she stays present and looks for synchronicities in her daily life.

And this has been her way of life for 30 years as a spiritual teacher who has travelled the world sharing insightful messages with a wide group of people.

While this may sound like a very ‘woowoo’ or esoteric way of living, Linda is actually very practical and down to Earth. She describes herself as an ‘abrupt Leo’ so what you get, is what you see. I see a lady living a simple but magical life.

Linda doesn’t wear a watch; she often doesn’t know what she will be doing when she wakes up in the morning and goes where there is flow. While she calls Tasmania home, she travels to places that inspire her and asks for the Earth to be healed wherever she goes.

“This is not a business or a hobby.

I am retired, this is the way I live. It’s all about ‘partnering with spirit’ and being present, then you become a clear channel.”

Sounds easy, right? Well, it wasn’t always this way for Linda. Her early life was quite challenging. “I felt very alone, even through the teenage years, and I was struggling. In my early adult years, the Universe was telling me things, but I wasn’t listening. I thought I knew better and I was getting some hard slaps.” she said.

When she discovered the world of spirituality, she dug deep and explored a lot of different holistic modalities in her twenties and also had the joy of raising her daughter Holly.

She said at a later time, when she stepped off the spiritual path, that everything was hard again. “Nothing flowed, it was like mud. That was my motivation to step back on the spiritual path. My biggest challenge was getting out of my own way. When you let go and trust, spirit comes in, and it sees everything. You may have only been able to see a narrow part of your life.”

Patience is one thing Linda says she has learnt along the way and is still mastering. She teaches that everything unfolds with divine timing, and magic is about opening your mind.

Although she visits sacred sites around the world, having special access to Stonehenge, the Great Pyramid in Egypt and the Kings Chamber, and has laid in one of the sarcophaguses, she said magic is also in the ordinary. So you don’t have to go overseas to these places to experience magic and miracles.

“I might be woken up in the middle of the night and then be led outside and see the magic and miracle of a shooting star, and there is a realisation and oneness where we are connected to everything.”

Linda has a knowing; when she asks for a miracle, it always shows up! It could be revealed through a family member who quickly recovers from an illness or with money manifesting, to name just a few pragmatic examples. Linda shared a past memory when she desired to attend a short spiritual course and was given a scholarship to go, but she wasn’t sure how she would pay for meals during the course. She said she asked spirit for assistance and was also prepared to go and not eat for the duration of the course. Then with a smile on her face, she shared that she put a Tattslotto ticket in and won over $1200! “I don’t have a dogmatic, limiting definition of what a miracle is. It’s more about what makes me feel good and is for my highest good. Miracles can include anything and everything.”

The book-creating process is often seen as a miraculous process in and of itself. Linda birthed her first book, Seven Eighths of Me: The Tale of a Spiritual Adventurer, two years ago and had book signings around Australia and overseas.

Linda is aware this is the first book in a trilogy.

She mentioned that initially, the writing process was not easy. She thought she was writing the first book

I MIGHT BE WOKEN UP IN THE MIDDLE OF THE NIGHT AND THEN BE LED OUTSIDE AND SEE THE MAGIC AND MIRACLE OF A SHOOTING STAR, AND THERE IS A REALISATION AND ONENESS WHERE WE ARE CONNECTED TO EVERYTHING.

years ago, but then realised it was just purging rather than writing! Yet nothing was lost because it made room for what she really wanted to share, which is information to assist people to deal with their self-doubt and limited thinking that can hamper their ability to have a joyful life. She senses the next two books will be about what she has experienced at the sacred sites overseas and the wisdom she has shared with people over the last 30 years.

And so Linda is sharing her insights in a range of creative ways through the written word and through verbal teachings. She is prepared to be ‘magic’ and in the process, contribute to raising the vibration of the collective. “Over the last seven months many people have been hoping and praying because of the bushfires, floods and virus, and now it’s about being grateful for what we have and loving each other and knowing we are one. As a collective, we have gone from ‘I am’ to ‘we are’. We are one.” www.lindawillowroberts.com.au

MAGIC AND MIRACLES

healed my Fibromyalgia & MS – naturally How I

Words MARSHA SCHULTS, Autoimmune Recovery Coach

BEFORE

“

AFTER

Sitting across from my doctor’s desk with my heart in my throat, I couldn’t believe what I was hearing... ‘an MS hug’.”

A what?

I think I stopped breathing…

Did she just say MS? Is this what I’ve been dealing with for the past seven years?

My whole body started to tremble as I felt the familiar weakness of chronic fatigue I’ve come to know so well, consume my whole body. My legs went numb. My heart started pounding. So much ran through my mind. I didn’t know if I wanted to cry, scream, or lunge at her across the desk. I was furious!! I was relieved… now I know for sure what I am dealing with and I’m not going insane.

Dr: “Do you have difficulty swallowing?”

Me: “Yes, a little. Mostly tablets and I never used to have trouble.”

Dr: “Had your handwriting been affected?”

Me: “Yes! I have to write in capitals.

I can’t use running writing anymore.”

I’d forgotten about that…

[This is the start to my chapter in the number one bestselling co-authored book, ‘I Fly’] For seven years I had visited my GP and countless natural therapists seeking relief from Fibromyalgia symptoms including depression, anxiety, panic attacks, severe insomnia, food allergies, eczema, rheumatoid arthritis, bladder incontinence, blurry vision, memory loss, severe whole-body trembling and systemic pain. I could barely string a sentence together.

I didn’t want the ‘medical retirement’ (disability pension) she had previously offered me. I had goals. Dreams of travel and buying a house, being financially free and having my own business again one day…

I secretly longed for a walker. But at 45 years old, something just didn’t add up. Before I knew it, I was on several prescription medications and popping anti-inflammatories like lollies. I knew

with my whole heart that I could heal naturally. I left that clinic and didn’t look back.

Three days after my diagnosis, I was invited to attend another health event.

The presenter talked about a stem cell regeneration product I’d been taking. It had eliminated my cognitive issues and memory loss and I no longer had CFS. In fact, I’d never felt happier and more energetic. But the ‘MS hugs’ (temporary paralysis of the lungs) were a serious concern to me.

A clinical nutritionist approached me at the end of the event and we briefly talked. He had great success with healing autoimmune conditions. I felt the shivers all over.

In survival mode, I had forgotten what I learned in the past 17 years researching health, wellness and supplementation. Together, we devised a protocol.

Four months later, I was symptom free. 12 months later, I am thriving! www.marshaschults.com

MAGIC AND MIRACLES

When the

body speaks

Words JANET McGEEVER

I

had the most beautiful heart-warming experience one day in the middle of a workshop with the mind-body teacher Brandon Bays. Brandon asked me to give a ‘Journey process’ privately, outside the conference room, for a 70-year-old man from the audience. He was presenting with high distress about being in the room. Being almost deaf, he relied heavily on his lovely wife, who, in that moment, was not able to be his ‘ears’.

I led him out of the room and found a quiet, private space. As a qualified Journey™ practitioner, I began to give him a simple Journey process, sitting close enough for him to hear. ‘The Journey’ is an introspective, closedeye, guided experience that helps you uncover memories that have been locked away in the unconscious. This enables them to not only be revealed, but healed on a profound level, allowing the buried emotions to be gently released, coming to a completion and forgiveness of the situation or people involved.

In this process, the man had a spontaneous memory of being caught down a mine shaft with other miners.

Underground for many hours, he was naturally distraught and thought he would never see his wife and children again.

He’d also worked in the Air Force when they didn’t use earmuffs for ground staff. Both incidents caused their own trauma: the emotional trauma of thinking he’d never see his loved ones, the imminent ending of his life and the physical trauma from aircraft sound.

Soft tears fell from his eyes as he got to say the words he could never say to his wife and children. So grateful, he was able to come to an acceptance of that experience. It was a beautiful, touching, simple process.

Nothing unusual, but with such strong memories. He felt the feelings fully and was able to let go of so much through the process.

Once complete, we moved to

outside the room in which Brandon was teaching. As I handed him a drink of water, his eyes widened and he started shaking. Lifting his quivering fingers, pointing in the direction of the room, he stumbled on his words, “What’s that?” I was perplexed. “Who is that speaking?” he asked.

I said, “It’s Brandon”, forgetting that he had been almost deaf! At the top of his voice, he repeated, “I can hear her! I can hear her! I can hear her!!”

Honestly, he almost leapt to the ceiling.

And you could have knocked me over with a feather. As we entered the room, he could hardly contain himself to tell Brandon!

This is the power and potential of the body to heal. A miracle? Maybe.

But it made total sense to me.

MAGIC AND MIRACLES

Is it

magic, miracles or

hypnosis?

Words SHEB GINER

I

f magic is believing in yourself and turning an idea into reality, and a miracle is a phenomenon that occurs without explanation, then what is hypnosis?

Some might say that hypnosis is the gateway between the conscious and subconscious mind. Hypnosis is a state of highly focused attention that offers an invitation to the back door of our subconscious mind.

Bridging the gap We have two parts of the mind: the conscious mind and the subconscious mind. The conscious mind connects us to the world around us through our senses – our sense of smell, touch, sight, taste and hearing. Throughout our life, we gather all kinds of information using our senses and the conscious mind. We create conditioned behaviours that do not serve us. The subconscious mind is the part of the mind that expresses whatever is impressed upon it. The doing comes from a multitude of habits, and 95% of those habits are programs that can be self-sabotaging. The

concerning part is that we are not even aware this is happening. Self-sabotage can prevent personal growth and cause most of us to be stuck.

Power of imagination Imagine a scenario in which your mind has the power to overcome anxiety, eliminate chronic pain or kick an addiction. As Albert Einstein proclaimed, “Imagination is everything. It is the preview of life’s coming attraction.”

There’s a growing amount of research that supports the use of hypnosis to get rid of bad habits. Paradigms are a multitude of habitual behaviours, like a broken record that plays over and over again. Imagine a lion standing in front of you, or another perceived threat. You will find your brain and body respond much the same way as if it were real.

Imagination alters neurological wiring that can impact the overall wellbeing of our bodies and brains.

Thoughts become things More often than not, the quality of one’s thinking is a result of one’s feelings, emotions, behaviour, relationships,

Brisbane Bowen Therapist

and virtually anything to do with life experience. Unless you are conscious of the subconscious or feel comfortable with being uncomfortable, it is difficult to recognise the patterns of thought that impinge on your quality of life. Change your thoughts, change your focus, change your life.

Power of hypnosis Hypnosis provides the opportunity to give rise to thought patterns and information processing on how one thinks rather than what one thinks.

Hypnosis offers an opportunity to help you realise that you have what it takes to overcome your presenting problem.

The miracle in hypnosis is when the impossible becomes possible. After all, you have what it takes and you are more than you think you are, and that’s when the magic happens.

The

saboteur

and the

magician

WORDS ANNE ALECKSON

A

The ultimate power to be, do and have it all, on your own terms, may be considered a miracle to some, magic to others and an impossibility to many.

In order to step into that level of self-empowerment, you must master your inner energetics – those inner personalities or archetypes that most often control your subconscious beliefs and the actions they create in your life.

To create more magic in your life, you must master your inner saboteur.

Anne x

re you being ruled by your magician or by your saboteur?

There are distinct differences between the two so if you are feeling in any way disempowered in your life, it may be helpful to find out what each of these inner personalities do.

When you know which personality is informing your actions then you can start to truly find the freedom you have been seeking.

The inner magician sees through the illusion and chaos and becomes the master of what is and therefore what will be. And is completely willing to do things that make no sense and to follow intuition blindly, and needs no proof, evidence or reason in order to take an action.

On the other hand, the inner saboteur focuses on what is instead of what could be, is consumed with being ‘responsible’, so unable to take action and with a deep need to have evidence, proof and reason before taking any action.

One of the keys to success in achieving ultimate power in your life is Absolute Trust so you can see how and why mastering the inner magician and deactivating the inner saboteur is so important as you journey toward your full empowerment.

A tool that I have found to be very successful in the process

of deactivating the saboteur and activating the magician, is the simple process of stating, “Up until now I have… (saboteur)” and then following that up with four simple yet magical words.

Example: “Up until now I haven’t taken action on things because others might think I was being irresponsible and I forgive myself anyway!”

Next make a positive affirmation to activate the magician.

Example: I now confidently take action in total trust that it is the right action, even when others might not see it that way.

The five magic words “and I forgive myself anyway” are very important so that we avoid the cycle of continuing to do what does not serve us because it has always been what we have done and thus staying forever within the prison walls of our comfort zone.

Awaken your inner magician and you will see miracles in your own life, daily, as you reclaim your ultimate power to be, do and have it all (as if by magic).

Anne Aleckson helps successful, busy people to manifest and channel their ultimate power through practical, quick and simple, modern spiritual practices so that they can be, do and have it all. /AnneAlecksonSoulSpeaker www.AnneAleckson.com Email: info@annealeckson.com

Introducing...

Simon Connell

In his early 30s Simon found a fascination with flower essences and soon after discovered the book, ‘Flower essences and vibrational remedies’ by Ken Fox that shared the karmic background of the plants used – from Lumeria and Atlantis, into Egypt and Greece. The book also explored how it worked within people and animals and how to use it with plants. As a mathematically-minded person Simon loved the complexity of the knowledge.

Simon experimented with creating the essences as

Rebecca Gibson

There are many reasons a person will seek out the services of a psychic medium. Some people are looking for a connection with passed-over loved ones, some are simply curious. Others seek guidance in love, health and wealth.

Many feel lost!

No matter what the reason, the underlying human need is HOPE! What if I told you that I could light up your Soul and show you what’s possible in your greatest life and save you time and money.

Solid strategy to navigate the path to your dreams with ease and speed!

instructed in the book and over the years he became aware of the results of using them, needing to find the proof for himself.

He went on to create his own essences with a focus on native Australian plants and specifically created for this time we now find ourselves in, working on the DNA strands and the codes held within them.

Imagine amazing clarity guiding you to that relationship! That well-being!

That income stream! That success!

I love guiding my clients toward this clarity with Divine help from my skills and abilities as a psychic medium and a career professional in mental health.

One reading will see you sighing with relief and filled with excitement and HOPE of what’s to come, plus clear instructions on how to get there with greater ease and speed.

MAGIC AND MIRACLES

Add some

practical magic to your life

WORDS ACCESS CONSCIOUSNESS

M

agic is the practical application of consciousness to create your life from ease

and joy.

Imagine if, instead of having to suffer money stress, dysfunctional relationships or unhappiness, you could change it all as if by magic.

“Magic is the practicality of being able to change your life and change the situations in your life that you desire to change,” says co-creator of Access Consciousness, Dr Dain Heer.

This is a capacity you were born with. It is intrinsic, like breathing. All that’s required are some pragmatic tools and your willingness to request of the Universe and demand of yourself that no matter what, this changes now!

When you make the demand and choice for change, the Universe starts conspiring to support you.

Your part is to commit to your life.

By doing so, you acknowledge that you

are the leader of your life. You stop acting and believing as if everyone and everything is more valuable than you.

It is like opening a door for the magic to filter through. The stronger your demand for change, the wider you open the door for magic. “Whatever it takes, I’m having this now” is what you demand of yourself when you are ready.

It’s your life, are you showing up?

It’s only when you are engaged in life, embracing life, enjoying life, that you can create the magic that is truly possible for you. Engagement has creativity, flow, vibrancy and expansion.

There is no magic in the grey mediocrity of a ‘normal’ life. If you’re tiptoeing around, trying to please everyone, holding back, shutting up, closing down and constantly waiting, you are not engaged. This shadowy existence is not a magical place. You can either be magic or pathetic – this is always your choice.

Increase your magical quotient Have you ever noticed that you’re at your most magical when you are joyful?

That’s because suffering and magic simply can’t co-exist. Joy is the theme song of magic and miracles. As Dr Heer says, “Choosing what makes you joyful increases the magic in your life”.

More than ever before the world needs your happiness because we all have the capacity to create magic on a grander scale than we ever imagined.

However, if you are going to be happy and joyful, you have to be willing to be different.

What joy could you choose today that you have never chosen before?

Access Consciousness is a set of lifechanging techniques, tools and processes designed to empower you to create the life you desire. To explore this more, consider the upcoming Access Consciousness Clearing and Questions Nights online: www.accessconsciousness.com/getclear

MAGIC AND MIRACLES

Creating miracles

rather than

a new normal

Words DR CARL SANCHEZ, MD

I

believe we need more than actions in the current situation; we need a magic miracle to get out of this ‘new normal’. And we should start seeing the light at the end of the tunnel. There seems to be an environment of fear at present that we’ve not previously been exposed to. This is creating serious adverse effects in the general population, where levels of anxiety and depression have skyrocketed.

I think it is very important to have a positive attitude towards things in life to get good outcomes, and this is what makes things happen. Whether you call it ‘positive energy’ or a ‘miracle’, it is thoughts that first trigger the actions that create the changes that make a difference in times of adversity. Some people call it the Law of Attraction.

Having been a doctor for the last 25

years, I always try to base myself in scientific evidence, and this creates scepticism about many things. But at the same time, I try to keep an open mind. As lots of my patients have taught me, often how and why things happen cannot be explained.

Since ancient times, we have used notions of magic, supranormal forces and religion to make sense of the beyond scientifically explainable.

This could elucidate the scientifically recognised ‘placebo effect’, which is used in double-blind, randomised controlled trials as a benchmark.

In its origins, medicine believed that the basis of serious and disabling diseases had a supernatural origin.

These could be brought about by the work of an offended God, a spell cast upon a victim by some enemy, or a

dark force or evil intruder causing disease. As it happens right now and under the uncertainty of new illnesses, in some ways, I think we haven’t changed our beliefs and thoughts from those early times, and some try to give a scientific explanation of something we don’t understand.

There’s not a lot of common sense in some of the recent policies imposed on people, which, without any scientific evidence, have been cast as proof.

Certain things in humans won’t change, but I still believe angels exist and magic happens, as you can see in the cars driving around with those little purple stickers on the rear bumper! Let’s hope this brings some positive light to these dark times. www.ibukihealth.com

MAGIC AND MIRACLES

The

true essence of magik

WORDS JOHNITA FRANCIS

W

hen magik and miracles are mentioned, our faces light up. We instantly think of magicians or divine intervention, both seemingly an illusion. But how much is actually an illusion and do we have any control over the outcomes? What if we could create our own magik? What if we could bring about our own miracles?

We are often quick to give in to a negative mindset. You know, the one that tells us that “we are always unlucky” or “it never happens for me”.

What if we were able to switch that mindset from stagnant to growth and start becoming lucky and enjoying new experiences that previously seemed out of reach. It’s easier than you think, and you need one little ingredient – BELIEF. Sounds too easy? As adults, we are the kings and queens of overanalysing, overcomplicating and overthinking.

We train ourselves to look for the trickery, the illusion, the negative in amongst the positive. But let’s look at our childhoods. Most of us loved

magicians, and there was no illusion.

We believed that it really was magik, and it was nothing short of a miracle that the magician’s assistant was not cut in half! Further examples include Santa and the Easter Bunny. The magik they brought into our lives for those few short years until someone (without being compassionate) ruined our lives forever. Our belief changed, our perception changed, and in an instant, our ideas of magik were gone. Cue the beginning of our association that all good things have a trickery or negativity attached. Trust me, it is connected. One year you are excitedly looking for a fat guy stuck in your chimney, the next year the magik is gone, the miracle of Christmas is destroyed. And you have set a subconscious mind pattern for an adulthood of waiting for the negative to destroy your positive.

Now I’m not saying that we should all band together and manifest Santa or any other childhood love; I’m saying that the magik was there until our

WHY ARE WE SO

Different?

perception changed. Perceptions are our reality. There are multiple realities, and we have choices to live in the manner in which we excel. Change your perception, and you will change your reality.

I work as a Sacred Soul Healer specialising in improving quality of life using intuition to unravel mysteries, release tension and support soul growth.

My life purpose is to help you find the magik and miracles in your life and show you how to manifest a reality that is filled with positive experiences.

MAGIC AND MIRACLES

3 ways to be the

potent, infinite you!

Words TRISH ROCK

“

Magic and miracles only happen to the ‘special’ people.” I hear this a lot, and sadly, I used to believe it myself.

In those many years when my life was anything but magical, and I felt like I couldn’t manifest even one stroke of good fortune or happiness, I actually resented people who could wave their magical (energetic) wand and live the life of their dreams.

Why wasn’t I given this too? I soon discovered that I did have these gifts – I was simply blocking them. And it is the same for you.

We are all capable, in fact, innately gifted, in creating magic and miracles within our lives. Often we just don’t see it or believe it and expect it to come

from outside ourselves. But the key here is that THE MAGIC IS YOU. Here are three ways to find your magic: 1. Look at yourself Take a deep, long look directly into your eyes in a mirror. At first, it takes courage to face ourselves, but trust me when I say, the art of doing this is magical in itself! After a few moments, you will see so much magic deep in your eyes, you will be smiling with joy!

2. Believe you can!

The energy right now is so fast and magical that you can instantly manifest anything you truly believe you can. The keyword here is believe. Your belief is the wand. So, what do you truly believe could happen or manifest for you today?

3. See the magic that already exists Your life is already magical. Do you see it? Do you feel it? Today, find those things in your life (body, environment, nature) that are truly miraculous. The fact you are here is magic. That dancing butterfly in your garden is a magical gift of nature. What do you see?

Choose right now that you will begin living a life of magic. Your innate expectation of this will bring miracles, joy and more magic than you could imagine. www.trishrock.com

MAGIC AND MIRACLES

The Eden Method : – empowering you with energy tools for a life you desire WORDS ELIZABETH CARUANA

Energy is your body’s magic! It is your life force. You keep it healthy and it keeps you healthy. – Donna Eden

D

onna Eden, world-renowned healer and the founder of Eden Energy Medicine, has seen energy all her life, as did her mother and two siblings. Discussions about the light and colours they saw around a person were an everyday part of Donna’s life growing up.

Donna was diagnosed with multiple sclerosis (MS) in her early teens, and by her late 20s, it had progressed to life-threatening proportions. Her organs started to break down, and she suffered a heart attack at 27. By the time Donna was approaching her 30s, five different medical specialists had advised her to “get her affairs in order”. Donna had two small daughters, and was intent on raising them herself and determined to take her healing into her own hands.

While Donna could see energy, she did not yet understand the connections

and flows she saw. Donna began to watch the energy and notice the sensations when she held different positions, postures and movements that seemed to help her symptoms.

After two years of experimenting, Donna was able to overcome most of her symptoms, leading eventually to a complete recovery.

Donna became passionate about helping others suffering from illnesses they had not been able to overcome.

Donna began to educate herself about natural healing and learned that the energies she was observing were similar to the subtle energies that had been mapped out by ancient cultures. Donna discerned nine different energy systems that may need attention to bring about health and healing. These energy systems form the dynamic, energetic infrastructure for the physical body and are intimately involved with illness and health.

Donna has been symptom-free

of MS for more than 40 years and flourishing in a strenuous professional life. She has worked with over 10,000 people, and over 100,000 have attended her live workshops and classes. In 2005, Donna and her husband, David Feinstein, created the Eden Energy Medicine Certification program, now with over 1400 practitioners worldwide. I now offer Level 1: Fundamentals, a year-long deep dive into the foundations of Donna’s work, in Australia.

The Eden Method emphasises self-healing. Students and clients are engaged, educated and empowered by learning tools that cultivate and maintain healthy energy habits and support vibrant health.

Elizabeth Caruana is an Eden Energy Medicine Advanced Practitioner and Level 1: Fundamentals teacher. Learn more about Eden Method classes and sessions at: www.sagelife.com.au

MAGIC AND MIRACLES

Noticing and

embracing the miracles

Words DONNAMARIE willett-FLOCKHART

I

n these beautiful times of unprecedented change, we are ideally positioned to be conscious in each moment of the miracle that is life.

There is magic that occurs with and in the connections we create online, in person, with our neighbours, with strangers, with friends and family.

In those connections we often find the gold in life and the sparkles of magic that in a breath, a moment, via a smile, a nod, and acknowledgement, can shift our vibration to a frequency of absolute love. That shift offers us the opportunity to accept and receive the space that is being held for us as we allow ourselves to let go, shift our mindset – or at least one of the filters we are living through – to feel and be lighter. We live through the lens of a different perspective. One that is lighter. Less heavy. Less dark.

More open. More free.

One is not better or worse, good or bad, right or wrong. They are different perspectives and in life we have a

journey through those waves of highs and lows, and the long flowing pipes of bliss that we may choose to be gifted.

We are amazing beings and as we collectively shift and change, so too does the universe, the cosmos and all that we are a part of. And one of life’s most magical miracles is creation. The creation of beings. The moulding of matter into forms that fill our world, our universe, our cosmos. The beingness of nature and all that is created within our environments.

Children. As humans, they are our ultimate creations and each child, each baby, is a miracle. They are the new beginnings to continue our evolution.

Our journey. The future generations of humanity and where we go and grow.

It is time for humanity to create and facilitate social and cultural change to honour children. To systematically do and be all that we can to ensure that the legacy we leave is unconditional love, safety, protection, nurturing and

nourishment for each and every little one that enters our consciousness and our lives.

Each generation has a key theme and now is the time for kindness, to ourselves, our families, our communities and the collective community of nations on Earth. Kindness to all that is a part of our environments on Earth. Kindness to Earth.

The honouring of children on all levels as the unique gifts they individually are, and the embracing of a new dynamic in our relationships and lifestyles to support that, is step one in this journey of miracles. This journey will be filled with moments of magic, creating the history of the legacy of unconditional love for children and the vibrational shift in our consciousness to hold space for this glorious moment… a miracle. Come join with me and create this magic for our children.

agic and miracles are expansive and really are all in the heart of the person.

What I choose to see and believe is magical; to my husband, standing next to me, is merely lucky or a coincidence.

He can rationalise away the most beautiful magic.

So, it’s about standing strong in what you choose to believe and funnily enough, if you start noticing the miracles, more will come. Our supernatural life is so untapped.

Personally, I have witnessed many miracles. I was once in a pray meeting with a famous USA evangelist and it started raining gold oil on a section of the audience. Apparently, that’s a common manifestation.

We have all heard the saying gratitude is a magnet for miracles. The first step is making the decision and declaring you believe in miracles and be expectant.

The hardest form of miracle manifesting is when you are in a storm

and truly need the miracle. That’s the time to dig deep. Stir up the faith! Use the power inside of you to seek, speak and believe the goodness and gold of the miracle. Don’t doubt.

The

triple point of

water

Words MICHAEL ABDALLAH

S

cience in schools teaches us that there are three states of water: solid, liquid and gas. We also know that as water cools it begins to freeze into a solid; conversely, if we heat it up it’ll evaporate into steam or vapour.

Now, did you know that the speed and temperature at which water freezes, evaporates or remains in its liquid state, is not absolute? It’s actually largely affected by the air pressure.

For example, the boiling point of water reported in all science textbooks is at 1 atmospheric pressure, which is basically sea level. At sea level, water is known to boil at 100°C; if you reduce the atmospheric pressure, the water will boil at 98°C, and if you continue to reduce the atmospheric pressure, it will boil a lot quicker.

Now, why does this matter? It matters because there’s an atmospheric pressure and temperature at which water, ice and steam all co-exist and it’s called the triple point of water. Imagine looking at a glass of water, and at one very precise temperature and air pressure, that glass of water will steam up and have ice circling in it while remaining a liquid. Tell me that doesn’t blow your mind!

Unfortunately, there really isn’t much research or content on this topic, and the reason I referenced it was merely to highlight the fact that we go through this world oblivious to just how amazing the world around us is. We live out our lives at what we call ‘room temperature’ and ‘1 atmospheric pressure’, and yet we allow these limiting factors to define our life, our experiences and how we interact with our environment.

The reality of our lives is far from what we’ve been (mis)led to believe.

Once you can expand your way of thinking, you’ll not only appreciate the blessings and gifts you have, you’ll be able to genuinely cultivate your soul and become more yourself. You can change and transform just like the water, which shows that when you allow yourself to be surrounded by the right atmosphere and the right temperature, you’re not bound to only one experience in life.

And just like all three forms of water co-existing at all time, for your mind, body and spirit, it’s the environment that determines how well you’re able to welcome new opportunities and new possibilities.

Do you have

chronic inflammation?

Words DR LIZ ISENRING

W

e’ve long known that omega 3 fatty acids fight inflammation and are good for everything from gut health to a strong immune system, lowering cholesterol levels and important for brain health too. Omega 3 fatty acids are naturally found in salmon, algae, chia and flaxseeds and walnuts. What many people don’t realise though, is that with our modern lifestyle many people don’t have enough omega 3 fatty acids and take in too much of the unhealthy fats. This occurs even when eating foods rich in omega 3 fatty acids regularly.

Poor nutrition and lifestyle can lead to chronic inflammation that eventually can develop into chronic diseases such type II diabetes, heart disease and certain types of cancers. It is estimated that anywhere from 50-90% of these

chronic conditions are due to a poor diet and lifestyle.

Symptoms of chronic inflammation can include muscle and joint pain, digestive problems, allergies, weight gain and headaches.

So what can we do to prevent and manage chronic inflammation? Well, the first steps are to stop smoking, reduce the consumption of alcohol and processed foods and increase omega 3 fatty acid foods and exercise. We now have the technology to test your inflammation status (omega 6 fatty acid ratio to omega 3 fatty acids) and most people can get their levels to within range within four months.

Many of my clients seek me out to help them understand how the latest science and research is relevant to them personally. So please contact me if you’d like to get your inflammation

status tested and see if your current omega 3 fatty acid supplement is working effectively. If it is out of range, we can discuss evidence-based dietary and supplement options to get the optimum ratio of omega 6 fatty acids to omega 3 fatty acids, and for most of my clients we can accomplish this in four months or less. This balanced fatty acid profile means inflammation is managed and symptoms are greatly improved and often even eliminated.

What are we really

being surrounded by?

W

e live in times of rapid technological development.

It’s a privilege, because technology makes our lives simple and more beautiful. It makes our work easier, increases our personal and professional possibilities, makes our lives more purposeful and brings a lot of joy to our times of leisure. It makes us feel satisfied.

But are we aware of the hidden concerns?

Because of that, scientists warn us about the sea of electromagnetic radiation we are bathing in. We can’t see it and can’t hear it but our working and living spaces are filled with frequencies from the wireless sources.

ELECTROMAGNETIC RADIATION includes all technical devices in our homes and offices, electrical circuits, television, mobile phones, computers, laptops, Wi-Fi (wireless internet – 2G,

3G, 4G and 5G networks), mobile signal repeaters, radars, satellites, microwave ovens, air-conditioning, etc. This type of pollution is called electro-smog and it can also be known collectively as electromagnetic stress.

Some people are very sensitive to this type of radiation and the most threatened population are our children because they spend most of their time with their phones and computers.

Sometimes they even take the technology to bed with them.

Strong electromagnetic frequencies go through all of our organs and organic systems. And we are facing an ongoing problem because the TECHNOLOGICAL REVOLUTION is much faster than the human ability to adapt to the new conditions and to create adequate defence mechanisms that could protect us from the aggressive frequencies that are not natural. Some

believe they spend the valuable energy of our immune system too fast.

According to many expert statistical reports, electromagnetic density in our surroundings is approximately 200 million times higher than 50 years ago.

If we take into account the speed of technological progress, it’s easy to come to the conclusion that the negative influences for humans may also grow.

In addition, the World Health Organization together with the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) has classified all radio frequency radiation (of which mobile signals are a part) as “possibly carcinogenic”. Many health experts believe our well-being and our children’s may be affected without informed action.

Standing wild WORDS GAYLYN AITKEN

W

e have an elemental connection to this Earth through our feet. Look down at your feet and check out how tiny they are compared to the bulk of your body; yet, they move and support this weight. From an engineer’s perspective, they’re perfectly proportioned for the task if they’re used as designed.

The arch of our foot is actually the same shape as the springs on a car. It is the part of the foot that flattens as the weight drops towards the earth, then accelerates the rebound action off the ground back up the bones to the spine, like a bouncing ball.

If the feet aren’t aligned under the hip joints and in relation to each other, the rebound is like a ball with a spin on it. Adjustments at the joints are needed to keep the structure upright as the weight zig-zags its way back up the

skeleton, offsetting the base of the skull and the shoulder blades.

In my experience, the most significant adjustment made is the ribs and thoracic spine. The bottom of the ribs is pushed forwards and tilted a little towards the chin, deepening the incurve of the lower back and pushing the head forward and slightly up. The entire boney structure is out of alignment in an effort to stay upright and functioning.

This is okay in the short term; it’s part of our design, as we’re self-adjusting and self-healing.

In the long term, it is not part of our design – the muscles contract around the bones to hold everything together.

Contraction is shortening; it’s half of the natural opposition principle for harmonious motion… yin/yang.

The other half is lengthening or letting go of contraction. It’s a lot like the springs in our feet; they expand and contract, creating a bounce or rebound,

generating human movement. When there’s only one type of motion, things get stuck or flaccid. Back pain, shattered knees and battered feet are results of poor long-term use of equipment.

Before ideal alignment of the feet can be reset, the ribs and thoracic spine need to be considered. The muscular tension around the shoulder girdle and ribs restricts the free-flowing wave-like motion of the spine from the pelvis to the top of the neck then back down to our feet as we move ourself. This forces the lower back and neck to take on the natural flexion movements of the thoracic spine; movement they weren’t designed for.

To begin resetting alignment, the ribs need to rest and let go so that the feet are free to maintain alignment and bounce Earth rebound up the spine, moving us to our own personal rhythm. www.kahunamist.com

Building resilience

in times of big change

Words JESSICA BOOTH

I

t has never been more important to take stock of our reality, and ourselves. Aura-Soma® is a selfselective colour care system that puts you back at the centre of your wellbeing. Aura-Soma founder and innovator Vicky Wall would say “no one knows you better than yourself”, and this of course is true. Reconnecting with ourselves is the best way to deal with change and unrest and building our own resilience is paramount. AuraSoma encourages you to take time to connect, inwardly and outwardly, and follow your own intuition.

The human ability to adapt to change is incredible, our strength and resilience in trying times shines through.

Whilst we might struggle to see the best in difficult circumstances, remember, there is always more than meets the eye.

Whether you’re in a city, town or village, try to take note of your surroundings. Mindfulness practices encourage us to pause and really notice where we are. Whilst there might not be

an abundance of nature around you, try to enjoy your surroundings and find new meaning in where you live.

Meditate If you can meditate, do. Why not try introducing an Aura-Soma Pomander or Quintessence into your meditation routine? Access your portal of pure peace at times of high stress by practising meditation and mindfulness.

From a spiritual perspective an ability to access the universal consciousness will feed your soul.

Keep a diary In adjusting to the change, and all the intricacies that come with that, keeping a diary or journal is a great way to come to terms with each day. Writing in a stream of consciousness can lead us to better self-understanding and noting down bits and pieces from our day can remind us of how resilient we are.

Set a daily intention At the start of each day – it will help refocus you and keep you aligned with your values while boosting the energy you emit to others.

Reach out to your local community What can you do to help others?

What skills do you have that can be used for more than just making money right now? Not only will you be doing your bit, by focussing on others you’ll help reduce your own stress levels.

Let yourself off the hook It’s ok to feel low, exhausted, emotional – we’re in a big period of readjustment. Be kind to yourself, sit, take note, let it out, know you’re not the only one and ‘this too shall pass’.

Aura-Soma custodian Mike Booth recently reminded us that to help us ‘reset’, “the White Pomander brings light into the auric field and protects us at an electromagnetic level across the spectrum of vibrations that is necessary at this point in time”.

Remember, some of the most important changes aren’t possible to see with the naked eye. Be kind to yourself, allow yourself the time to adjust, obtain perspective and create the bigger picture. www.aura-soma-australia.com

Make the

best of your life

Words GREG SHEEHY

O

ver the last few months, the COVID-19 virus, similar to that of a biblical plague, has permeated our lives, our homes and our nations like a thief in the night. It has virtually stolen from us our sense of security on all levels that we have been accustomed to for all or most of our lives. It has no geographic, religious or demographic boundaries.

We have had to immediately undergo a huge economic, social, health, emotional and psychological paradigm shift in how we now live.

How many of you have woken from a restless night’s sleep wondering how you can manage through these confronting times? What are your plans now?

I can help you and your loved ones get back on track.

Previously, I occupied senior executive positions in several corporate arenas, including CEO and national sales positions, having studied to the

Master’s degree level in business and achieved other qualifications.

I gave up my lucrative career because my spirituality became my higher calling in life. More specifically, as we traverse life’s many journeys and experiences, I am here to help guide and empower you along the way on all levels.

I have an innate gift and life experiences to help steer you through these rough seas with guidance, strength and compassion to assist you to create the stability and security in life you need.

Specifically, I can help if you are stressed and worried about your financial security, career changes (whether you or anyone in your life has lost your job and are searching for new opportunities), the health of you and/or your loved ones, and how your relationships are coping.

As your trusted psychic, I can quickly guide you through these

The magic of the animal kingdom WORDS VIV ADCOCK

There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.

– Albert Einstein

T

hese days, awareness is growing around the amazing gift animals can be for our well-being, beyond the physical realm. Horses are widely recognised as facilitators for their ‘ability’ to perceive energy and assist in building self-esteem, increasing self-awareness and thus transforming behavioural issues and easing learning difficulties. Trained dogs can alert people with epilepsy of a potential seizure and diabetics of a change in blood sugar levels.

There are books, movies, documentaries and social media posts galore that are waking people up to the gifts animals can be, beyond the normal perception of the animal world.

When it shows up right in front of you, it is a visceral experience you never forget.

Magic is who we are when we are being us – the infinite being we truly are. And miracles are what’s created by our engagement with what’s around us.

This is about being, not doing, which is what the animal kingdom always invites us to do. It is effortless, elegant, beyond logic and to most, unseen. People tend to engage in a more physical relationship with animals – what I aim to ignite is the energetic connection that can accompany and expand the physical.

Have you seen the YouTube video with Peyo, the stallion who visits people in hospital? The horse chooses which room and which person to go to. Have your hanky at hand! https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=m4HEuLn6Bdg Many moons ago, I had the pleasure of meeting Rupert Isaacson and his then severely autistic son, Rowan, in Austin, Texas, USA. A disassociated, tantruming, non-speaking young Rowan crawled into the paddock next to the family home where he discovered a horse called Betsy. He sat at the feet of this horse for some time until his father found him. He immediately noticed a change in Rowan, and from this spark of possibility – as slim as it was – the journey that founded the Horse Boy book, movie and method began.

It was a rough and rugged roller

coaster of Rupert following his knowing, being tenacious in his commitment to possibilities and being willing to do whatever it took to reach his son that led them to Mongolia.

The magic that Rupert was willing to be, engaging miracle after miracle, continues to create miracles as you read this. Rowan has become an inspiration for autistic children and their parents to know that miracles can and do happen.

A perceivable and subtle shift occurs when we allow ourselves to go beyond our minds and comfort zone. It never shows up the way you think it will!

Energy for our animal friends WORDS DR ELAINE CEBULIAK

E

nergy is essential in performing how we move, think, breathe, function and live. With no energy we die.

Stillness. It is referred to in all cultures and religions; some call it Qi or Chi (pronounced Chee), also spelled Ki, or Prana, a spiritual force that is held to emanate from, or give animation to, living beings. The ability to breathe comfortably is relatable to us all, and some of our flat-nosed species (also called Brachycephalic breeds such as Persian cats, Pugs, Boston Terriers, Bulldogs etc) may need some surgical help opening up their airways with some plastic surgery. Here is a link to some videos explaining this BOAS or Brachycephalic Obstructive Airway Syndrome: https://willows.uk.net/specialistservices/pet-health-information/softtissue/boas/ Keeping their weight under control, can also help them maintain a less clogged-up throat area. Good breathing helps conserve Qi. We often see a syndrome where stress seems to cause poor breathing and ‘choo choo train’ panting in some dogs.

This is a sign of Qi stasis, where the tongue may show a lavender or darker colour. The breath will be shallow and fast. Helping these dogs to learn to be calm, and adding in calming foods and herbal medicine, may slow or halt the course of dis-ease.

Over many years of practice, veterinarians start to see patterns of illnesses, there is some distinct genetic predispositions such as separation anxiety and behaviour problems in little white fluffy dogs – who also seem to have an increased rate of vaccine reactions (another good reason to NOT over-vaccinate dogs!). This mind-bodyspirit connection of living in a stressful environment with poor nutrition and a worried attitude, can lead to adrenal fatigue. Little wonder that we often see Cushing’s disease in these breeds!

The body needs good nutrition, trace minerals, vitamins, and rest to physiologically function at its optimum.

However, the mind can do amazing things with the physiological structure!

If one is feeling loved, protected and at peace, the body will produce entirely different chemicals and hormones than if one is stressed, worried or angry. This

is the basis for developing good energy and good Qi in spite of any nutritional inadequacies. It’s said that some yogis can exist on good breath alone for some time. Genetics may also play into it, but I have been astounded that some animals seem to do okay on what I would consider to be not the best food. Some of the healthiest dogs come from families with calm owners who provide exercise, bush walks, and play games within a caring family atmosphere.

Breath control and inner Qi work may be considered to be some type of hibernation, not using up the body’s store of nutrients. We can also assist you to teach your dog to relax using our calming essential oil sprays and some massage techniques.

The best thing you can do for your pets is to truly love them, teach them manners, tricks and boundaries. www.animalwellness.com.au

Dentistry in a

virtual world

Words Dr Maria Giles and Dr Don Kelly

W

e are witnessing drastic shifts in how the world operates and what is expected of us. This can be hard to adjust to, but the internet and technology are making the transition much easier.

The government’s decision to expand telehealth consultations to include more services has been revolutionary for the dental industry. We are now able to conduct consultations online and through video chats, meaning people can seek dental help and advice from the comfort of their own homes.

We believe social distancing is such an important part of protecting ourselves against COVID-19, which is why we are excited to have launched our new complimentary virtual consultation service.

What is it?

Face Value Dental’s free virtual consultation service is powered by SmileMate, an innovative program that

uses artificial intelligence to generate a report of your dental health. The program is easy to use, takes less than 10 minutes, and can serve as a virtual consultation with your dentist.

This means you can have your teeth assessed before visiting the dentist to shorten appointment lengths and prevent you from coming in unnecessarily.

How does it work?

Head to www.facevaluedental.com/ virtual-consultation. From here, you’ll need to enter your contact details and dental goals. In order to have your report reviewed by one of our holistic dentists, you’ll need to list your dental goal as ‘seeking holistic dentistry’. The program will then ask you to upload five photos that can be taken on your smartphone.

Once your information has been uploaded, your report will be generated using artificial intelligence. One of our dentists will then review your report and the team will be in touch to organise

a video chat to discuss your treatment plan.

How will it help?

We understand the importance of social distancing during these times and limiting time spent in public. By implementing virtual consultations, we are able to reduce the amount of people travelling to and from our clinics while also helping to protect our patients, staff members, families, and the community.

As this is a free service, it can also help you save on dental expenses by limiting your visits to the dentist to what is absolutely necessary.

While technology is a magical thing, it’s important to note that artificial intelligence is not always 100% accurate. The report generated using the program is to be used for observations only and are subject to clinical consultations.

Regula shows us how the diverse climate of the British Isles influenced the growth of cereal crops and the development of a rich regional baking identity.

BOOK: Be Brilliant AUTHOR Janine Garner Janine says, “Business was simple; now it’s competitive. Clients were easy; now they’re demanding.

Communication was straight forward; now it’s overwhelming. Resources were limitless; now they’re stretched. Employment was secure; now it’s uncertain.

“Often the world feels like it’s all too much. It’s exhausting trying to work out ‘what to do’!

“We want to be successful. So we spend a fortune on stuff, on sh##, that we think will make us ‘better’ – that will help us achieve more, or simply ‘fix us’. But all it does is fuel feelings of loneliness, depression, undue stress, and further disconnection.

“The thing is, that we are all like diamonds with lots of facets and flaws. And it takes artistry on ourselves to bring out our unique brightness. We are all rare gems designed to shine, created under enormous pressure.

“We all have to get better at being ourselves. The world is asking us to be extraordinary, this is our calling. Are you ready to embrace the challenge?”

The MAGIC of

following the prompts

Words KRISHNA EVERSON

I

’ve never been very good at instructions or forms, especially the written variety. The fields are too small, the questions ambiguous, and they are usually way too long-winded!

Online instructions can be just as challenging… do we click that box, swipe that arrow, or follow the link below? I think this is one of the reasons I have spent many of my years teaching others, with the aim to make it as simple as humanly possible, and I absolutely love the process of achieving this.

As individuals, we approach problems dependant on our own knowledge, perception, and beliefs; a combination of human instinct and biological processes, as well as family and societal patterns we have learnt growing up. We often look externally to find the answers to our problems and seek solutions to life’s challenges. On a daily basis we have the opportunity to

navigate life’s journey and create our own destiny but often seek to control the process. I know I do! It gives us the perception of safety and security.

In recent months I have found myself letting go of the illusion of control, as many of us have had to do.

It has meant having faith and being satisfied with ‘not knowing’. I have noticed that when I truly operate out of a place of trust, life can unfurl with ease during times of uncertainty. Even though I do not know what is going to happen, it has become more about the journey, not the destination. We get to choose our own adventure and it plays out on a daily basis. We can do this with fear and drama or can do this with curiosity and ease.

Each of us has an internal guidance system available to us, that when listened to, can be a powerful teacher and confidante. I recently read Mel

“IT’S PITCH PERFECT TIME!” We are publishing more articles on our popular website: www.holisticblissmagazine.com and invite you to email us your unique article pitches that are educational and non-promotional.

Please send to: ed@holisticblissmagazine.com And if you don’t know how to pitch, book a 70-minute Zoom (oneone-one Masterclass) with editor, publisher, founder of Holistic Bliss, published writer and holistic coach, Vanessa Finnigan.

Robbins’ book, ‘The 5 Second Rule’, an exercise in changing our life 5 seconds at a time. The premise is based on following the prompt as it arises… with a 5-second countdown to lift-off.

It could be as simple as calling an old friend, or as scary as asking for a raise, or calling that potential client or job opportunity you have always dreamed about. The key is following the prompt, doing the 5-second countdown, and taking the action!

I’ve pretty much always danced to the beat of my own drum, but I have also let opportunities slide by out of fear and uncertainty and a desire to remain in my comfort zone.

As we stand on the precipice of change, now is the time to follow our inner GPS, act on the inner prompts and step into the path of our destiny.

Who knows what magic we will discover along the way!
