From the Creator of HBM...
T
his month we talk about ‘energy’ and there are many different variations on this theme as always. Energy healing and energy medicine is far from airy fairy, it is highly practical, pragmatic and testable and our talented contributors share their unique expressions on this burgeoning topic and field. Through my eyes, I see the amazing collective energy that is created each and every edition. I see our team share their gifts and it’s the joy and enthusiasm that creates the flow and magic with putting everything together. Similarly, I see our contributors take time out of their busy clinics, practices and work stations and allow themselves time
to write from their heart. Each word and article has an energy and a potential to be a catalyst for change. When you reflect on the energy of all those articles, and creative expressions gone into putting an advert together, it’s a potent, expansive collective energy that is created. Each person has their own unique vibration and even though there are many different ideas and perspectives, there is the opportunity for allowance of each other’s differences, (and the world so requires more of this!). Then when the magazines come out each month, that collective energy is launched into the world, or birthed… and it’s different each time… and we reach new people every month and it’s a joy to be part of this and contribute to the everchanging flow. Enjoy the cover story interview this month with amazing Master Mantak Chia (pages 20-21).

FOOD FOR THE SOUL
Superfood Peanut Butter Cordyceps Fudge RECIPE SARAH PARSONS
I
t’s a growing trend, and more and more people are now using medicinal mushrooms and herbs in raw treats, smoothies and hot drinks. I absolutely love Cordyceps. It tastes delicious and is considered a life-enhancing herb in the Taoist herbal traditions. It increases blood oxygenation, improves core energy, and supports healthy kidneys and liver. It improves endurance and reduces recovery time, so it’s the perfect herb to use before or after workouts. You can add this into your life during times of stress or when you feel your body needs more support. Tahini contains magnesium, calcium and loads of antioxidants. Peanut butter is filled with healthy fats and picks you up
when you need that extra bit of energy to keep you going through a busy day. I hope you enjoy this recipe just as much as I do. Much love, Sarah xx Ingredients: 110g cacao butter 250g hulled tahini 200g peanut butter (almond butter can be used instead of peanut butter) 120g maple syrup (coconut nectar or honey can be used instead of maple syrup) 20g coconut cream 2 tbsp Cordyceps (Chaga/Reishi/Lions Mane can be used instead) 80g desiccated coconut 1 tsp salt 1 pinch vanilla
Method: Melt your cacao butter until it’s completely liquid. Then add into your food processor with all other ingredients and blend into a creamy, smooth texture. Pour onto a baking paper-lined tray or lunch box 20cm x 20cm. I love to sprinkle with hemp seeds, cacao nibs, dried cranberries, buckwheat, or some crunchy pecans. Set in your fridge overnight or in the freezer for about 5 hours. Cut into bite-sized pieces and store in an airtight container in your fridge. These last at least 14 days. www.newearthcafe.com.au

FOOD FOR THE SOUL
Are FODMAPs the
answer to IBS?
WORDS JOEL GRACE
I
f you’ve been searching for answers to your gut issues, chances are you’ve probably come across the low FODMAP diet. But what does it mean? Here’s all you need to know about navigating a low FODMAP diet in our high FODMAP world. What exactly is the low FODMAP diet? Developed here in Australia, the low FODMAP diet is a short-term elimination diet that aims to help IBS sufferers better manage and treat their symptoms. FODMAPs are types of carbohydrates found in certain foods that are strongly correlated with digestive symptoms such as gas, bloating, abdominal cramps, constipation and diarrhoea. A low FODMAP diet aims to temporarily reduce or eliminate certain known triggers in a bid to alleviate digestive complaints. What are FODMAP foods? The FODMAP acronym refers to Fermentable Oligosaccharides, Disaccharides, Monosaccharides and Polyols – basically a bunch of sugars your body breaks carbohydrates into.
The list of high FODMAP foods is pretty long, so it’s handy to remember the five biggest culprits: onion, garlic, apples, cabbage and legumes. Add to this list many other fruits (stone fruits, melons), vegetables (broccoli, cauliflower, mushrooms), dairy products (milk, cheese, ice-cream), sweeteners (honey, xylitol), grains (bread, pasta, cereal) and beverages (beer, fruit juice, soft drink). Are FODMAP foods bad for you? Not necessarily, although FODMAP foods can create a lot of abdominal discomfort in many people. When our body breaks these FODMAP carbohydrates down to sugars, the sugars aren’t absorbed very well by our small intestine, so they end up travelling to our colon. This is where the problems begin, with your gut bacteria consuming excess sugars and releasing gas. Despite this being a normal function of your gut flora, people with IBS often end up with unwanted digestive symptoms as a result. How does a low FODMAP diet work? It’s generally broken down into three stages: elimination, reintroduction
and personalisation. The elimination phase involves removing high FODMAP foods from your diet for 4-8 weeks and replacing them with low FODMAP foods. This gives your digestive system a chance to recalibrate before the reintroduction phase. In my opinion, reintroduction is the most important phase, and the one people often get wrong. I see many clients who remain stuck in the elimination phase for months or even years because they’re too scared of adding high FODMAP foods back into their diet for fear of symptoms returning. When reintroducing high FODMAP foods, test one food at a time, and never on consecutive days. Personalisation involves returning to a diet as usual as possible while removing those select foods that are your personal triggers. If your symptoms return, it doesn’t necessarily mean you’ll never be able to eat that food again. You can just keep it removed from your diet to test again in the future. www.sunshinecolonics.com.au

A
love of beer
turned into
social purpose
WORDS CLINTON SCHULTZ
developing the range of non-alcoholic craft beers we offer at ‘Sobah’ has been the fun part. We have several different beers all infused with Australian bush tucker offering very unique flavours. We’ve had an organic growth over the past two years and now we ship nation-wide suppling: bottle shops, bars, restaurants, cafes and more. My wife Lozen who manages all facets of ‘Sobah’, often says my non-alcoholic beer habit has been more costly than my original drinking habit! However, ‘Sobah’ beer is more than just a product filling a gap in the marketplace. Business is a great space to acknowledge our connections and to truly consider what we can do with our privilege to help benefit others in our network and community. Being mindful of this as a business and as individuals, has the power to lead us all to make better decisions based on overall wellness rather than individual interests and greed. Without this shift in mindset, we are actively choosing to limit the possibilities available to our next generations’ opportunity to thrive
and live long and well on this beautiful planet. ‘Sobah’ is all about making some impact on social change, to provide an opportunity for others to make positive choices around not drinking for whatever reason, to confront the drinking issues we have as a society, and open up conversations about what is better for us all collectively. Being an Aboriginal business, we’re inherently structured around social enterprise, engaging in positive reciprocity and promoting holistic health and wellbeing. CLINTON SCHULTZ is a Gamilaraay man and registered psychologist with a PhD in Aboriginal Health and Wellness. Read more at: www.sobah.com.au

ongratulations! It’s a few months into the year and some of you may have thrived through ‘Dry January’ and ‘FebFast’ by abstaining from something that is not good for you, such as alcohol. Giving up drinking or any other negative coping strategy can be tough, particularly if you struggle to find a healthier alternative. Nonalcoholic ‘Sobah’ beer came about from such a need. I loved craft beer but was completely over alcohol and the negative effects it was having on my life. Going sober didn’t mean that I should have to give up on the flavours I enjoyed or my social life. Six years ago, before the ‘sober curious’ trend was a thing, it wasn’t easy to find a decent replacement and more often than not, I was laughed out of the bar for asking for a non-alcoholic beer. I care about wellness passionately. Not only is the space my profession, but I live it in every aspect. Even still, having quit booze, the opportunity to indulge in something more than soda with lime became my mission. Having a culinary background,

Coconut Cranberry Delightfuls RECIPE TABITHA LEE
Method: Line a large dinner plate with baking paper and place into the freezer while preparing. Place the dried cranberries, coconut, vanilla, maple syrup and melted coconut oil into a food processor and pulse until combined enough to roll into balls.
Ingredients: 1 cup dried sugar free cranberries 1 cup desiccated coconut ½-1 tsp vanilla ¼ cup pure maple syrup 1 tbsp coconut oil, melted ¾ cup ‘Niulife’ creamed coconut butter, melted
Place the mixture into a bowl and roll into desired size you like. It is a crumbly mixture so be patient rolling. Place the rolled balls onto the lined plate and freeze for 2-3 hours until very firm. Place creamed coconut into a small saucepan and heat until melted, while continuing stirring at all times. Creamed coconut can burn easily so please
watch. Creamed coconut is different to just a coconut butter so please buy the creamed version. When using a new jar of creamed coconut, please ensure to fully mix the entire jar together as it separates; very important. If you’re making these in a cold temperature you may need to melt the jar down on very low heat first. Remove the balls from the freezer and working quickly, roll each ball into the creamed coconut to fully coat or you can just dollop a spoonful over the top and place a dried cranberry on top to set. Place into the refrigerator for about 30 minutes. Store in the refrigerator. Enjoy! www.tabithaeatsharelove.com

The
last thing you would think to be energising
WORDS MELANIE LEONTINE
W
hen one thinks of energising the body, cannabis is often the last natural remedy that comes to mind, as cannabis is often associated with being laid back, enjoying a movie with a bowl of your favourite munchies. However, very few know that cannabis can also be the ultimate energy booster and assist with the breakdown of bad fat – white adipose tissue (WAT) – in the body. Specific cannabis strains are known to energise, arouse and stimulate the user, both mentally and physically. It all comes down to the right cannabinoids, terpene balance and THC to CBD ratio. For those who are looking to source a positive energising effect without the high or legal complications, strains with low THC or no THC are the way to go. First, let’s talk about cannabis strains for energising the mind, body and spirit. My friends at Leafly are the experts in this field, and they recommend the following cannabis strains for energy and endurance: Jillybean – Myrcene, caryophyllene, pinene are the dominant terpenes in
this famous strain. Jillybean is known to offer uplifting effects that make your mind soar with newfound inspiration and motivation. Harlequin – Myrcene, pinene, caryophyllene are also strong within this strain of cannabis. This strain provides a weightless sensation with minimal cerebral effects, making it an excellent choice for any tasks that require clearheaded cognition. It’s great for gym workouts. Chocolope – Long touted as the perfect ‘wake-and-bake’ strain, Chocolope will leave you feeling unencumbered and motivated to take that long hike or hit the gym. XJ-13 – Terpene predominant in terpinolene, caryophyllene, pinene, this strain leaves you buzzing with newfound energy and allows you to take genuine pleasure in conversation, art and activities. Now onto how cannabis can affect you in a more physiological way and assist your metabolism. When it comes to fat-burning
Strengthening Dads and Daughters bond navigating the teen years.
activities, CBD takes the cake (unless we eat it first). CBD encourages the metabolism to break down white adipose tissue (WAT), into brown adipose tissue (BAT), which the body utilises for warmth by burning calories. BAT is also often known as ‘good fat’. Biochemistry research has found that CBD oil can be used to prevent obesity via this process of fat conversion, which is essential for a healthy body. Additionally, CBD oil acts on the mitochondria (the powerhouse of the cell) to increase its activity, which burns more calories, along with a healthy exercise routine, such as walking, swimming and going to the gym. CBD has also been shown to regulate blood sugar levels, which is great news for everyone who aims to avoid metabolic syndrome. Cannopathy provides a range of cannabis oils that may assist you with your wellbeing journey for a long and happy life.

Energise your WORDS KATH ORMAN
H
ow do you feel about your financial situation? Did you have a very big Christmas and the bills are still coming in, and you are struggling to pay them? Did you realise that the energy you have towards money often creates the very situation you are trying to avoid? While it may seem hard to believe, money is just another form of energy. Your thoughts and feelings about money (or the lack of it) can keep you stuck where you do not want to be. Imagine you are meditating. Close your eyes, breathe deeply and picture this magnificent, majestic ancient tree; its roots solidly grounded into the earth with branches reaching up to the sky; its beautiful green leaves glinting in the sunlight as a gentle breeze touches them. Now imagine yourself standing at the bottom of the tree, with your back leaning against it and your arms spread wide above. Breathe in the energy of the tree. Now imagine the tree has thousands of $100 notes attached to its leaves – this is your money tree. Feel
financial feelings
it – feel the energy and abundance. Say to yourself over and over again, “I have an abundance of health, wealth, love and happiness in my life and I accept it now” and/or “I am a money magnet” and create an image in your mind of drawing money to you magically. On the practical side, be mindful of the words you use around money. If you are constantly saying to yourself, “I never have enough money”, “I am hopeless with money” or “I could never go on that sort of holiday”, you are actually creating the very thing you are trying to avoid. The universe will keep fulfilling the story you have created, as it believes that is what you want. Take back your power over your finances and create a different story. Imagine what it feels like each month to already have funds waiting in your bank account, ready for when the bills arrive. Imagine being able to take the kids on a family holiday, or have a weekend away with your partner. Sometimes, it is as simple as realising where your money leaks are.
EXCITING NEW BOOK RELEASE Emotionally Happy Homes® by Jules O’Neill, pioneer of Body Consciousness® Transform, understand and manage your emotional stress! It all starts at home... A must read for all families!
Do you buy your lunch every day or have takeaway regularly? I had a couple once who were spending $20 per day each on coffee and takeaway lunches. This equates to $100 per week or $5200 per annum each = $10,400 per annum for a couple. I’m not suggesting you stop having these things altogether (as I’m all for enjoying the journey). Consider making it a once-a-week treat, on Fridays perhaps. Create a bank account for bills and one for holidays and re-energise the balance with regular deposits and make a difference in your own life!

Tapping into the energy
throughout your
cycle
WORDS SHARON WOOD
E
ver wonder why you wake up brimming with energy one day, but then on other days can’t shake off a brain fog no matter how many cups of caffeine you chug? Our menstrual cycle impacts so much of our lives. It can impact how we feel about ourselves, and others. It impacts our creativity, patience, even risk levels. Research has shown it can even impact the clothing choices and what colour lipstick we choose! And it impacts our energy levels throughout the month. Learning about your Empowerment Cycle will show you can plan your week or month better – Week 1: Slow and Steady Day 1 (first day of period) to Day 5 Many of us would already understand how the first few days of your period can be a real drain on your energy levels. This is due to the low estrogen and testosterone levels, as well as the lack of iron from menstruation.
Combine this with the pain some of us experience of menstrual cramps and you can see why energy may be low. During this week you may feel tired and withdrawn. Make sure you allow time to rest. Week 2: Take it ON Day 6 to Day 13 This phase shows a steady increase in estrogen and testosterone bringing with it a boost of energy. Now you can speed through tasks faster, tackle mentally or physically challenging projects with more ease, stay up late and get up early (or pull an all-nighter) and generally push the limits of whatever you want to do. If you have goals to write, or a new project to start, this is the time to do it! Week 3: The Great Communicator Day 14 to 16 (around ovulation) High levels of estrogen and a short spike in testosterone leaves you more optimistic, social and motivated this week. This phase brings an ability to
communicate with others. Energy levels are up and steady, you are feeling great physically and emotionally. Go with it! Week 4: Powerful and Passionate Days 17 to 28 – a longer stretch This is the phase that gets a bit of a bad reputation. Known commonly as the ‘moody cow’ phase for some. But a sudden and steep dip in estrogen, coupled by a rise in progesterone slams the brakes on your energy levels. The first couple of days still feels similar to the previous phase, but then the drop comes and you are feeling a lot less resilient. But these changes in hormones allow you to steady on, making chores and working through a list, all good tasks for this phase. You are highly creative at this time too! The next step is to identify what your energy levels look like for you, using a simple charting method. Start charting your cycle by downloading your free chart at: www.emgoddess.com.au

Real success is JOY! WORDS ZAKAIRAN
S
o, what is success really? Are the people that have the most money and the most goodies the most successful? If they are happy then yes! If they are not, then no! Happiness is the key, because the only reason anyone wants anything is because they believe it will make them happy. So, how can you achieve success? And what’s the quickest and easiest route to the top? The quickest route to success is to be happy now! Why wait until you have the money and the goodies and the relationships, etc, before you can be happy!? If you must have stuff to be happy, then stuff becomes your addiction and you will always need more stuff to make you happy. But what about just being happy now?! That’s what you want anyway! Well, you can be happy, right now! Regardless of your circumstances! It doesn’t matter how bad things have gotten, you can decide to be happy now, and you can be happy now, as
long as you know how to focus your thoughts upon things you like, love and want, rather than focusing your thoughts upon things that you dislike and don’t want! So, let go of your fast-food/fastmoney/fast-success mentalities! Even if you could make a quantum leap to the top of the mountain, without the properly prepared vibration, you would tumble down like Jack and Jill and lose everything like most lottery winners, who do not have the mindset of success, which is a mindset of joy! Success is also more accurately measured by how much of your powerful creative nature that you are allowing, because you believe you can, or, how much of your creative nature you are resisting, because you believe you can’t. You are here for the delicious joy of creating your desires into physical reality! And to delight in the exciting wonderful feelings of your priceless worth and your unlimited power and
to enjoy the fruits of this creative power in action! To enjoy the feelings of: “I created that! I accomplished that! I am amazing! I am a powerful creator!” That is the true meaning of success, because the money, and the cars, and all of the goodies that we love to have in our lives, are temporary and fleeting. But what is real and timeless are those joyful amazing feelings of delighting in your awesome magnificence and the fact that you were able to create those things into physical reality! What you want is happiness, because you came here for the joy of it, for the joy of creation! And when you are happy, then you are successful, no matter how much money and how many goodies you have. So, be happy now! Regardless if you have what you want or not yet! And that is how you can powerfully create anything you desire, by getting happy first! www.ZaKaiRan.com

I
parts of the body, diseases and drugs as being influenced by the sun, moon and planets, along with the 12 astrological signs. It is like an energetic cord that says, ‘look at the whole’ for health. The energy of medical astrology can and was used for the awareness of what gifts and challenges may occur for people depending on when they were born and the star sign they are born under, and relating it to their body. By having this understanding, you can be conscious of what is happening and then create a holistically healthy life in all areas. The body parts connected to the signs are: ARIES – head, face, brain, eyes TAURUS – throat, neck, thyroid, vocal tract GEMINI – arms, lungs, shoulders, hands, nervous system, brain CANCER – chest, breasts, stomach, alimentary canal LEO – heart, chest, spine, spinal column, upper back VIRGO – digestive system, intestines, spleen, nervous system LIBRA – kidneys, skin, lumbar region, buttocks
have always loved energy work and energy medicine, that’s why I have taught accredited medical intuitive courses for over 25 years. What fascinates me is knowing when the body needs to heal, it connects to everything, including the environment, surrounds, past, the now, past lives, guides and angels, other people, the cosmos, planets and astrology. In fact, medical astrology is fascinating when it comes to energy. Each astrology sign is linked to specific body parts. As a nurse, this was never taken into consideration for people to heal completely. As I integrate medical intuition and nursing, I see clients heal more rapidly as the energy is at its peak performance. Certain scientists, like Dr Bruce Lipton, have caught up with this ancient wisdom of energy and healing the body on this level. It incorporates the concept that we are a hologram of everything, and when people are unwell it will be linked to everything. Medical astrology, traditionally known as Iatromathematics, is an ancient medical system that associates various

All about
reiki energy
WORDS SARAH KOTTMANN
R
eiki is a healing therapy that originated in Japan. Like many other healing therapies from different cultures, it uses energy as a source of healing. Reiki essentially means ‘universal life energy’, including both universal energy and life force energy. In other cultures, it is referred to as chi, prana, vital force or spirit. It is the life force that exists in all things. The practice of reiki is channelling this universal life energy to promote physical, mental or spiritual wellbeing. Reiki works similarly to charging a battery. When you feel stressed, ill or fatigued, your energy is low. The practitioner of reiki becomes the vessel for the natural life force energy and recharges your battery so your energy is back to a natural flow, enhancing your body’s own healing power.
A lot of what we do in reiki is unblocking and restoring the chakra centres. These regulate the flow of physical and psychic energy within the body, and provide the link between the material world and the higher dimensions. The seven chakras within the body include the root chakra, located at the base of the spine. This is the area from which we draw the physical energy necessary for life. Sacral chakra – a little above the root chakra – governs sexuality and our instincts. Solar plexus is located in the stomach, which is our emotional centre. Heart chakra is located close to our physical heart, an area we receive and give love to others. Throat chakra is our area of communication and speaking our truth. Third eye chakra – between the eyebrows – is our centre of clairvoyance
or intuition. And crown chakra – on the top of the head – is our connection to our higher self and universal force. Everyone can benefit from reiki as it helps you stay clear and balanced, and can assist in the healing process if you are stressed or ill. Being attuned to reiki by a reiki master, does not just give you the ability to practise this art of healing, it puts you on a path of personal development. Reiki can enhance your physical wellbeing, restore emotional balance and increase mental clarity. As a practitioner, each time you channel reiki to someone for their healing, you heal a little part of yourself as well.

Paying attention
to the
'unseen '
WORDS TONY COLLINS
G
iven that everything that exists is a form of energy, the subject of ‘energy’ for this article is a broad one indeed! As a Pleiadian lightworker, hypnotherapist, and Past and Between Lives Regressionist, one area of focus for this subject is looking at the nature of personal energy – how it moves through us, directs our life experiences and impacts us as human beings in our daily lives. With the way that our culture is designed, it’s easy to think of most things as being only physical or tangible. When we get sick we may visit a medical specialist to try and uncover ‘what’s wrong’ with our bodies. If we find ourselves in personal challenges, such as losing a job or a relationship breaking up, or have interpersonal conflicts or experience any kind of major change in our lives, we may often try to fix the physical aspects involved as a first step. Taking medications, changing diets, changing employment, homes or partners etc, can be our first
instinct when it comes to rectifying imbalances or making our lives ‘better’. Culturally we have been conditioned to see things this way. And while addressing issues at the physical level is an important part of the process of healing our 3D experience, it’s far from the only one! Ironically, the physical aspects play a significantly smaller role in life’s events than we first suspect, and they’re usually the by-product of a much bigger picture. The unseen nature of energy working through us unconsciously and spiritually is actually the key element to our physical circumstances, and has the greatest impact on shaping our life experiences. To attempt to outline every aspect of the human energy system in a single article is not possible, but some key players in the unseen aspects of our energy field are our thoughts, the aura, the emotions, the chakra system, the meridians, the soul matrix, the genetic channels, and the nature of unconscious memories that are stored in our nervous system.
While there are many others, these key aspects play a huge role in our relationship with ourselves, with others, with the Earth, and with life and the universe itself. To ignore them in any healing process can be a one-way ticket to having to repeat negative or painful cycles in our lives, and it’s important to address these energetic aspects for a complete healing of issues we may be facing. Have we had a past life that started this issue? Do we have a soul, and does it have a specific intention for learning through issues? Do we have energetic cords or contracts with others, carry wounds or curses from other times, have restrictive genetic programming, or are influenced by intrusive energies of some kind? As I mentioned before, our cultural conditioning pays little attention to the unseen. But what if our ailments and issues have unseen causes, and the clues and answers reside in our energy field? www.pastliferegressionhypnosis.com.au

blocked from their programming and conditioning of what it means to be masculine and feminine. We don’t need to be male to be masculine, or female to be feminine. We are all made up of inner masculine and feminine energies! Although many of us may be more feminine and female, and masculine and male, this is not always the case! The goal for us all is to first understand that we all have masculine and feminine energies. We then need to understand how many of us are suffering limitations and blocks due to our programming and conditioning because of who we are as a male or female and the expectations that come with that and who we ‘should’ be. These can be so deeply ingrained in you that it can take some deep work to recognise this. We then need to work with these energies to get them flowing, balanced and working together so we can
have worked with a lot of people over the years, assisting them to become conscious of and unlock their love blocks and become more aware of themselves as an energetic being. I passionately advocate that we need to be just as much aware of ourselves as an energetic being as we are of our physical being. So much can be accessed, released and managed when we include our energetic being on our path to wellness and enlightenment. Throughout my journey, I have become aware of the importance of harmonising and balancing our inner masculine and feminine energies. With so much changing in the world, particularly through the women’s movement, we are seeing both men and women changing the game, and doing things our ancestors (even our living relatives) would not, or could not do because of their gender. However, so many people are still
become unified, whole and balanced as a person. In this way, we will be able to be more of who we truly are, more conscious of our inner masculine and feminine aspects, and know how to use them to work together – when we need to call upon more of our masculine energies, and when we need to call up more of our feminine energies. When you can work with your masculine and feminine energies in this way, you will find that you have the tenacity and capacity to manifest more of what you are envisioning for your life. I find the best way to understand these energies and what they truly are outside of our programmed beliefs, is in my Masculine and Feminine Energy Transmissions.

This month, I was fortunate to interview him and feel his joyful, heartfelt intent. There is something mysterious, even magical, about the ‘unseen’ life force energy, and Mantak Chia has seen firsthand what can happen when we learn
how to master our own energy. From an early age, he was interested and involved with healing in his community. “When I was a child living in the village, the elders knew of a urine healing therapy. As I was a child, they asked for my urine sample, as they believed children’s urine is the highest quality. So I gave them some and they mixed it with Chinese medicine and gave it to the sick people in the village and it healed them. After that ‘experience’, I www.holisticblissmagazine.com

We are all spiritual WORDS SANDRA MEEHAN
W
hat if I told you that there is no such thing as a spiritual healer on planet Earth? You may be saying right now, what a bold statement to make! Hi, I am Sandra Meehan from The PowerFULL You – sip your favourite cuppa and let’s have a quick chat. We are all spiritual. Yep, that is right, we are spiritual beings in physicality. In fact, we are all ascending masters in training here to master physicality. We come here with a spiritual team to help guide us on the planet while we are here, and it is this team that are the spiritual healers. If you’ve ever watched the Medical Medium and listened to his conversations, he will tell you that it’s his team. He is just a channel. Every single human being can run life force energy through another living thing on our beautiful planet, including the animals and plants.
put this bold statement out there that the name will change and the word ‘spiritual’ will be used in the proper context of what it truly means. There is a saying, ‘where intention goes, energy flows’. We have all chosen to be here on the planet to not only witness, but to play an active part, in changing the Earth. Having said that, if each one of us placed our intention and sent the energy of unconditional love for all sentient beings on the planet, we would create change so much more quickly. I will leave you with this. We are all spiritual beings in a physical body. The time for division and separation between the two is now over as we move into the new energy of 2020 and beyond.
I believe when used, it creates division in a world in which we are trying to bring everything together as one, and nobody heals anybody. You heal yourself. We are in a time of significant change on Earth – the great awakening – and we are seeing spiritual gurus. I will rephrase that, the so-called spiritual gurus on the planet are falling, being charged with all sorts of crimes. So many people have been shattered, as they have placed these socalled spiritual gurus up on a pedestal. They have handed over their power to another person, as they believed they were not as good or equal to them. I have said this before. The spiritual industry is full of smoke and mirrors and the veils of illusion must come down for the industry to survive. I genuinely believe that over the next 10-15 years we will see a massive change in the spiritual sector. I will even

Restoring
back integrity
WORDS GAYLYN AITKEN
B
ack pain is debilitating, depressing and plain boring because it prevents us from doing the things we love or need to do to earn a living. If you have it and it’s a constant or repeating pattern, then let me tell you right now, this situation can be changed for the better… read on! You may already be aware that over the years, I’ve developed a movement program I call Natural Body Flow, formerly known as Aligned Movement. It’s based upon a rest position called Constructive Rest. The body is arranged comfortably on the floor in a conscious alignment from the feet up. Taken verbally through a body scan, your awareness shifts from the external to your internal environment. I use awareness of the breath as a guide to sense how your body moves to your breath rhythm, where you feel it, and where it’s absent. You don’t have to
change how you breathe, just observe. This deep rest resets the circuitry for action, so if you’re caught in that flight or fight thing, or lack energy, here’s a simple something you can practise to reset your nervous system. From here, you are guided by suggestions on how you can start moving your limbs without tension. My latest passion is deepening my understanding of the critical role the abdomen plays in the free movement of the pelvis and lower back. The concave, convex wave shape of the lower back is designed to absorb weight and move in a wavelike fashion throughout the spine to flow out through your limbs. Every time you move your legs or arms, your spine conducts this motion. Our abdomen needs to be present and awake to know when to be soft to give the spine the freedom to extend. A belly that’s permanently hard and contracted pushes the ribs forward and
tenses the lower back muscles, reducing free movement between the lower ribs and pelvis. I think the notion that a tight or hard belly is healthy and functional needs to be looked at from a fresh perspective. The front of the body flexes, the back extends. This is the natural movement of our human structure. When both are free to move naturally, the back extends and the belly softens to allow that extension, then the pelvis, lower back and ribs can safely articulate. You can rediscover the joy of your body in motion by resetting your ideas on how it should be. Open your mind to letting your body teach you how it moves, what it’s capable of, when to rest, and when to be active. This invites compassion to take up residence in your heart and, in a world that promotes fear of one another, a little compassion can go a long way. www.kahunamist.com

The
chi health cycle
WORDS JOST SAUER
H
ealth has turned into rocket science but it’s simple: if your organs are healthy you are healthy! And the secret to organ health is chi (Qi) or energy. Millennia back, Chinese sages identified a 24-hour cycle of chi (one of many interconnected cycles) that flows through everything from the outer cosmos to inside our own bodies, where it spends two hours in each organ enabling them to perform amazing feats of health and healing. As chi zips along your meridian pathways to your organs they can eliminate symptoms, boost vitality and energy, increase metabolic rate ensuring a healthy weight, and create a positive outlook. And, better still, because chi is energy plus information and consciousness, you know who you are and what your purpose is. You will intuitively make the right decisions about everything from food to relationships to business. It becomes a self-perpetuating cycle of purpose, health and happiness! Our task is to help keep that chi flowing by aligning activities (such
as exercising, eating, working and sleeping) with the natural 24-hour cycle of chi. For example, if you wake up and exercise between 5-7am while chi is in your large intestine – the organ connected to letting go of your old crap (literally and symbolically) – you start your day detoxed, energised and in charge. You’ll naturally be more productive, feel more satisfied and be nicer to everyone around you, which has a flow-on effect on everyone around them and ultimately the planet. But say you sleep in and wake up to coffee and phone scrolling instead; chi stagnates, toxins accumulate, which blocks the meridians and hampers organ function and you can get stuck in the past, feel lethargic and demotivated, resent your job, become hyper-critical, and crave coffee and sugar. You can also mistake your thoughts (which belong to the body) for intuition (which belongs to the soul) and go off path. If you feel bad, you may be a bit meaner to everyone. This creates more symptoms and affects everyone around you.
Everything we do either enhances or obstructs chi flow depending on how and when we do it. This was once an out-there concept but the mainstream understanding; that ‘what you do, when, matters to your health’ is growing daily. Chronomedicine and circadian biology, which looks at time and your organs, is evidence of this, and ‘circadian misalignment’ (being out-of-sync with the chi-cycle!) has been identified as a contributor to lifestyle disease which is now killing 40 million people a year. It’s time to feel good again and create a better future. ‘Befriend’ your organs, love and nurture them, give them the routine they crave, add a chi practice to your life and let chi change you and the world.

with
Anne Aleckson
T Everything that exists is energy vibrating at varying frequencies, some appearing to be solid objects and others less so. You are a physical manifestation of the nonphysical source energy, existing in a slower and denser frequency than those non-physical aspects. Often when channelling AllThat-Is during a client session we will say ‘the physical being (you) are the most important part in changing the world, without you, we are of no use, we have no hands to touch another, no feet to go where we are needed, no voice with which to speak’ and today I want to remind you of that. You have the power within you to create change… in your life and in the world, when you master your energy and mind your own vibration.
Anne x
his month we answer readers’ questions, providing guidance and insight around minding your own vibration and energy. Q: Debs asks, “How do you protect yourself around energetic vampires even after you have cleansed, saged and asked for white light from spirit?” A: We’d like to invite you Debs to consider stepping into radical self-responsibility. If you knew that everything that appears to be happening to you, is indeed happening FOR you and that you would not take on another’s energy or vibration unless it was your choice to do so (whether a conscious or unconscious choice), why would you choose to do so? Could it be that there is something in this energy that you need to address in your life and when you do so, you will move into a higher frequency where you no longer choose to lower your frequency to the level of another. Radical selfresponsibility means you alone and no one else is responsible for anything that you are being, doing, having and feeling. If you are feeling something that you don’t enjoy feeling, feel into it more, ask yourself why you need to feel it right now, sit with it, learn what you need to learn and you will strengthen your energy and vibration. Q: Amy wants to know, “How can I harness and focus energy for my goals and desires?” A: You are asking how to manifest that which you desire
into your reality, the very simple answer is ‘ask, believe, receive’ as you know through the law of attraction… and yet there is so much more to it. In every single moment of your life you are asking for what you desire through your thoughts, your beliefs and actions, so be sure that those are focused only on what you desire to be, do and have. Clean up anything that is not a match for that. You ask, it is given – this is spiritual truth. What happens in between the asking and the giving, is what matters most in the creation. You must create a container in which to receive what is given and that container must have no holes in it through which the gift can leak out. Weak personal boundaries, thoughts of lack, negative belief systems and the like are holes in the bucket that will need to be fixed before you can receive what you have asked for. In other words, get your life in order, start living as if you are already the person who has what you are asking for and clean up anything that does not match who you are becoming.

Get your body
firing on all cylinders for 2020
WORDS DR CARLOS SANCHEZ
T
here is something in the air. Is it something contagious? It seems there is a lack of energy in a large part of the population. How do we generate energy to run our bodies? Are we using the best fuel to get our bodies firing on all cylinders? When I ask my patients if they would use dirty fuel and poor quality oil in a Ferrari, the answer is no! I give them this analogy so they value and look after their bodies, as they’re the most beautiful and perfect machine ever made. We need to look at wholesome unprocessed food, clean water, clean air and sunlight as the sources of energy that nature has given as to thrive in our lives. It sounds simple but most people don’t adhere to this. In our modern
lives, believe it or not, there is an excess of energy that becomes toxic, with people eating mostly empty calories in the form of sugars or artificial fats, creating the great diabetic epidemic. We are accumulating energy that the body is incapable of using. In the old days, there was a cycle of running with the seasons, where the abundance of food in summer and autumn was followed by a period of temporary famine in winter and use of our own reserves happened as a need for survival. This has been lost. We don’t wake up with the sun and go to bed with the darkness, our circadian rhythm is gone. We need to look at food for its protein-energy ratio. From my clinical
experience, and contrary to popular belief, I don’t think most people are having enough protein in their diets. We can see this in the general population, particularly the elderly, where sarcopenia or muscle loss is rampant. We see central obesity with thin arms and legs, which is stereotypical of the type 2 diabetic. Despite the excess reserves of energy, these are not being utilised. For this to happen, some fasting, low sugar, low fat, but enough protein, is all that is needed to reboot the system and burn those excess reserves, to regain the energy to start exercising and fall back into nature’s cycle. www.ibukihealth.com

10 years of energy work at the Heal Yourself Expo WORDS WAYNE PINA-ROOZEMOND
T
his year the Heal Yourself Expo celebrates its 10th year. We began with our first expo in a carpark at Woodford, which was surprisingly well attended considering it was such a novel idea 10 years ago. Since then, the expo has morphed, changed, grown, shrunk and then grown again, and through the years we have done our best to stay true to the energy of the original inspiration for the Heal Yourself Expo. To give you context, I had lived a very different life to the age of 44 and struggled with many things, especially with who I was and why was I here. As far as I was concerned, I had all the answers and nobody was going to tell me differently! But where did it get me? It got me to the darkest place in my life, and trust me, I have been in a few of them. In this dark place, I saw no way
out other than to stop fighting and let the universe guide me towards what I was meant to be doing. So, at 44, I surrendered to the spirits, told them they could do with me what they wanted and I would no longer fight them. If they wanted me to jump left, I would do it. It probably took me four to five years to retrain my brain and my general way of thinking. In 2007 I had the good fortune to stumble upon reiki and energy healing, which really blew my mind and changed my life. Although I had been a psychic all my life (and fought against it), seeing the link between physical pain and emotional pain was amazing. When I was working on people, I could see what was causing them pain and knew the emotional reason behind that pain. It was astounding. Working with clients, it was abundantly clear that on the whole,
people did not take responsibility for their own health and preferred to blame someone or something for what ailed them. Sadly, many people are more than happy to hand over the most precious thing they have, their health, to someone else, and give away their power. This really bothered me. If they only used the simple tools that were already out there, they could become an active participant in their wellness and this was the inspiration behind the birth of the Heal Yourself Expo. The Heal Yourself Expo puts you in front of people who are willing and able to assist you in your healing journey. You can peel through your layers and awaken to the outstanding person you have always known you are. Find yourself @ Heal Yourself Expo. www.healyourselfexpo.com

Energy –
a different perspective
WORDS TATIANA SAVERY
B
oth Tesla and Einstein have many quotes circulating about how everything is a vibration, everything is a frequency, and everything is energy. However, what does that mean? And how does that knowledge affect our lives? Importantly, what does that mean in the quest for peace and enlightenment? We can use energy as a rung on the ladder to creating a life filled with more peace, love and joy – what I like to refer to as creating a ‘happy dream’. What matters is that we take a different perspective and remember that this life is a dream. The analogy I often use is life is a movie so we must connect to the director to rewrite the script. If we use the perspective of this life being like a movie, and we are the characters in the movie, then energy can be related to being the film on which the movie is recorded. Or in modern times, the digital movie file.
In this way, we can have a new perspective. If all of this is a movie, or a dream, and nothing has any meaning here, as we eventually wake up or become enlightened, then energy is meaningless as well. Like film, energy is the platform the characters can play upon. This allows us to release the intensity of attachment to anything here – all the trauma that can be ‘locked’ within our energy field, like film or digital files, can be edited. This can also assist in reducing the intensity or significance of issues, traumas or stagnant movement. Then, making the choice to live a happier dream can be supported with frequency technologies at the speed of clipping a movie file in an editing program. Anyone who is an editor knows how long editing can take; however, with the correct technology, the results can be quicker, and of course, once the editing is complete, there is no residue of return unless choosing to re-edit the movie.
Imagine the lightness of living life without the 20 to 50, or 60 years of emotional trauma imprinted upon our character. Yes, these experiences make us who we are and they can serve a purpose towards our awakening. However, for the awakening to be experienced, at some point we must drop the imprint of trauma to the extent that we are no longer affected by it. Love, joy, peace, gratitude and appreciation are all qualities of awakening from the dream, to stop the movie. Yet, love makes no comparisons and gratitude can only be sincere if it is joined with love. In that, all things will find their freedom. Embrace the new perspective about what energy is and live in a happier movie. For more information about TATIANA’s work visit: www.powertube.com.au www.frequencyacademy.com.au

A
force
to be
reckoned with!
WORDS MIA MUNRO
A
s we go about our lives we are constantly being fuelled or depleted by energy; some within our consciousness and some almost invisible. The key is to source energy that elevates our experience. After years of what I call ‘living a big life’, my circuits began to become depleted. A sluggish pulse within my body was beginning to literally slow me down. It wasn’t a pleasant time as I loved my life with global travel and exciting business adventures and I didn’t welcome the slowing at the time. But with time, it grew and grew to the point that it could not be ignored anymore. The physical body began to display symptoms of dis-ease. Not because I was eating the wrong food or mistreating my body, but because the circuits needed regeneration. Our life force is our energy – the energy that moves through your body beyond only the physical. When we ignore its needs and live an externally
based life, we can begin to burn them. We become sensitised and all sorts of challenges can present. So how do we become an energetic force to be reckoned with? In the human reinvention formula, we talk about the Whole Self Philosophy – the honouring of all parts of our humanness that require attention. All parts have importance at different times of your reinvention. It is a conscious decision-making process that ensures the parts screaming to be heard do not scream any louder. To know our energetic system is to deeply connect with our cellular being, which takes us on the journey beyond physical muscles and movement. It’s the intelligence of us and the resource that, when nurtured, becomes a force of creation. To understand the biochemistry of stress enables you to create a model that ensures your physical and
energetic body is able to manage life’s requirements. Some ways to build your energy force are: Deep rest practices – meditation, silence and nature-filling activities; fasting or resting the physical system; specialised nutrition practices plus healing your gut – your emotional centre; infrared saunas, float tanks and acupuncture; and the newly discussed ‘biohacking’. If you are committed to be a force to be reckoned with, then it might just be time to look further into your cells and listen to their deeper needs! The Human Reinvention Formula is the work of MIA MUNRO, a woman who has lived many lives in 45 years, travelled globally and now resides on the Sunshine Coast. An author, human transformational expert and ethical visionary, Mia’s mission is to support the activation, collaboration and expansion of human beings. www.miamunro.com

regarding exactly how Wi-Fi can affect children while they’re at school. Many people believe that they experience EMF stress whenever they enter a building where Wi-Fi is operating. This concern is often based on people’s own experience who happen to have a degree of EMF sensitivity, who say that wherever they go in their home they can ‘feel’ the Wi-Fi affecting them. However, they are not aware of other sources of charged fields such as Earth radiation, the radiation charge from mould, or human-generated Bioplasmic radiation, which is what they are really feeling, not the Wi-Fi. Some people reach for a Radio Frequency (RF) meter to try and validate their concerns, and then believe that the RF reading in the building where the Wi-Fi is operating, is indicating that there is a ‘charge’ in the air which will cause EMF stress. However, an RF meter ONLY reads Radio Frequency ‘waves’, which is harmless to the human body. An RF meter does not and cannot read the noxious ‘positive charge’, which is in fact the harmful component of any radiation field! A Wi-Fi modem does have a harmful ‘positive charge’ field that extends to approximately two metres around the modem itself, and which will cause considerable EMF stress in a person if they are within that two-metre field.
Beyond that, the RF ‘wave’ has no charge, and therefore does not cause any EMF stress. Wi-Fi routers in schools are generally mounted high above on a wall, and therefore the two-metre harmful positive charge radius is out of harm’s way. There is another danger caused from Wi-Fi, as it creates a charged ‘beam’ of energy about the diameter of a softball, which travels directly to all devices which are communicating with that router. This is similar to what a mobile phone does. So, if you were to place yourself directly between a laptop being used wirelessly and the position of the router, then you would be under mild EMF stress from the positive charged beam. If you’re not physically in that position between the laptop and the router, and more than two metres from a router or one metre from any wireless devices, then you would not be under any EMF stress from the Wi-Fi. However, the REAL danger of Wi-Fi to students in schools is the actual device itself that they may be touching and using, such as a tablet, PC or laptop. These devices, when in Wi-Fi mode, have a harmful positive charged field which may extend up to one metre around the device engulfing the student, and this will cause considerable EMF stress in their body. People don’t realise or understand that with ANY electronic device, as soon
as you touch this device, regardless of whether it is being used in Wi-Fi mode, the body will immediately be under EMF stress. Another problem that occurs in schools is that students tend to work in groups together where the charged fields from all their devices overlap and merge. Charged EMF fields cause EMF stress on our vital organs by disrupting our meridian energy flow, which in turn, energetically interferes with our organ energy levels. It is generally the weaker meridians and organs in a person’s body which will encounter EMF stress, as not all meridians may be negatively affected. Our emotional wellbeing can also be affected by charged EMF fields, since if our endocrine organs are being affected, then it follows that our hormones and neurotransmitters will also go out of balance. This can cause a change in emotional stability, especially for students who may be emotionally sensitive or challenged. Concentration levels are also negatively affected by charged EMF fields which is certainly not helpful to students who are eager to learn.

Creating change with crystals and
universal energy
WORDS KELLI BROOKER
D
o you ever stop and think about the energy all around us? It really is amazing that everything has a vibration and crystals are one of my favourite energies to tap into. Places we visit or certain situations can have a strong impact on our energy field and the way we feel. Think of the first word that pops into your head when I list each situation below! I’ve put mine beside it so you get a feel for me and my way of thinking: Shopping mall – overcrowded Beach – cleansing Forest – peaceful Watching Netflix – relaxed Traffic jams – impatient Meditation – calm Playing with pets – happiness Now here come my beautiful crystals to help shield, calm or energise us, so we adapt to our environment. I’m a huge wearer of jewellery and layer my crystals on daily. I find this the easiest
way to infuse my spirit and physical self each day. Want to protect your personal energy and deflect negative energy? Dark stones like tigers eye, black tourmaline, black onyx and agates or deep jaspers are perfect. Want to feel calm and ease anxiety? Green and blue stones like amazonite, green aventurine, jade, blue lace agate and blue calcite are so soothing. Want to recharge and feel energised? Orange and red stones like carnelian, red jasper, mookaite and citrine make us happy, vitalise us and bring life force energy. Want to share love and nurture? Pink stones radiate love outwards and nurture our souls. Rose quartz, rhodonite, strawberry quartz and pink opal are such beauties to hold. Crystal healing works on our body and spiritual self by helping draw negative energy away. All stones have
their own vibration and each works differently. By placing crystals on our body we gain balance, healing and relaxation, and feel full of energy afterwards or sleepy and subdued! I recently became a certified Usui reiki master and am so privileged to share this ancient Japanese healing energy using my crystals, as well as every spiritual piece we sell to our lovely customers. I channel higher healing through my hands to the receiver. This energy goes where it’s needed to bring balance and healing. The best thing about reiki is it’s just as effective being sent via distant healing – it’s as if you are in the same room with me! This makes it easy to receive and benefit from. All you need to be is receptive and open to the energy being sent to you from your reiki master. www.moonstonegypsyau.com

ENERGY
If it’s not yours – shake
it off
WORDS SONYA DRIVER
T
here is a saying that you can feel someone’s energy before they speak. This is so true. The byproduct of that is the energy somehow finds a way to attach itself to you. I remember when my girls were little, they would come home from school all wired up and upset. I would do a practice with them where I would say, “shake off that energy”. They are naturally good girls and always wanted to please their teacher and do the right thing. So by the time they came home, after keeping that energy inside all day, at the age of 5, they would have meltdowns.
I find myself shaking my body and flicking energy off too. Some people burn sage sticks to remove and change energy. I like to pray and play music, light a candle and move things around. Energy is connected to your instincts and gut feeling. Anytime I make decisions from my head and not my gut I regret it. Another issue I overcame a couple of years ago, with the help of a great psychologist, was reserving my energy. You see, I’m a fixer! If you’ve got a problem, I want to fix it. It doesn’t matter if you don’t want it fixed, I’m
giving you 100% of my energy. Until I corrected my thinking. My psychologist said these exact words, “Sonya, stop throwing your energy away”. It was a light bulb moment for me. So, the burnout I was suffering from was literally all in my head from trying to help and fix everyone who reached out. I had zero energy left. She also said it’s difficult to be a high empath and run a business. Since that appointment years ago, I’m much better at delegating and letting stuff go. www.ecotan.com.au

Another way to
communicate
WORDS DAVINA O’BRIEN
E
nergy is intangible yet it impacts every aspect of our lives. There are those who say that energy is our first language and that any spoken language, for example English, is really our second language. That is a view to which I subscribe and it is what makes it possible to communicate with the environment around us, since it is all composed of energy. This morning I watched our male dog, De Brucski, enjoying himself running around the edge of the dam and splashing in the water. It was joyous and energising to watch him. He is a valued member of our family. He had been in an animal shelter for just under four months when I saw his picture on their website. There was such joyous energy around his photo that I wanted to meet him. The staff warned us before we arrived that they thought he had hearing issues. Since I regarded his first language as energy, I didn’t see the problem. So we brought him home
with us. That was almost six years ago now and I give thanks every day that he chose to come and live with us. He is such a wonderful, smart boy. The extent of his deafness is a debated issue in our household. I would say that his hearing is definitely different to that of our other dog, Lou. Like all of us, he has his moments of unawareness. Yet when he is tuned in and switched on, he is aware of everything – even what I am thinking. When I want his attention, I direct energy at him. If he is very distracted, I might touch him, but this is more the exception rather than the rule. Names also have an energy associated with them. When we picked De Brucski up from the shelter he was called Breaker. I didn’t wish to keep creating that energy for him and us. So we played around with some names to see what ‘fit’ him. Since he has a black
patch over his eye, he ended up with the name De Brucski. He and our other dog, who came from the same shelter at the same time, get on really well. They are different personalities – different energies, yet they complement each other. Wonderful energy can be created when two or more people come together with a shared intention. With that in mind, I have created a new Facebook group called Pet Connection Pack. If you would like to join, just look up Pet Connection Pack on Facebook and request membership of the group. This is a free group for people who love animals and would like to connect with like-minded people. Enjoy your animal friends and I hope to see you in the Pack! /groups/123550355209912/ Email: davina@thepetenergytherapy.com Phone: 0438 59 89 95

The
alchemy of relationships
WORDS JANET McGEEVER
H
ave you ever been speaking with someone and they are completely away somewhere else? Have you ever done that yourself? Or you have been so emotionally charged about something, or so stressed, that you simply are not ‘present’ when someone is trying to connect with you? After many years with couples and in my own experience, I have come to observe three important keys to creating more emotional and sexual intimacy in relationships. I call them the ‘Three Ps’ – presence, polarity and praise. PRESENCE Body language is 78% of our communication. Being non-engaged, unresponsive and unavailable does not make a happy marriage. So let’s start with how we show up physically. Leading relationship expert, Dr Susan Johnson, says that couples who are A.R.E. – Accessible, Responsive and Engaged – enjoy a greater level of connection and love. This means you are more ‘present’. Being ‘present’ starts with the body, by making your whole body more
receptive. Being connected to you, not only in your mind. Start being mindful of giving the other your attention – eye contact, facing them square on, acknowledging them. Sometimes it takes courage because we are not used to the intimacy of it. POLARITY On an energetic level, human bodies are like magnets with dynamic and receptive poles. ‘Dynamic’ is a force that moves. ‘Receptive’ is a force that receives. The breasts and heart area for women are the place where our dynamic quality is generated. Once this area is available in lovemaking, and a woman relaxes within herself, a beautiful vitality begins to resonate in her genitals – the receptive organ in her body. This takes time. A woman’s body opens more slowly. For a man, his dynamic quality is in his genitals, so he is more easily ready. He also needs time to allow a shift to his receptive area in the heart, where he can connect more with his partner in love.
Awareness of these magnetic poles is vitally important to a loving sexual relationship. PRAISE We are wired to connect. We thrive on acknowledgement. Appreciating the other for who they are and how they show up puts credits into the bank account of the relationship. Speak from an embodied place, from your heart. A good way to do this is to imagine sinking down into your belly, imagine ‘grounding’ through your feet, and once you feel it inside you, speak from there. It will make all the difference and it will ‘land’ for the other. This can take practice, especially if it is new or if you were never praised much as a child. But it creates magic! Presence is the alchemy, polarity is the gold and praise is the fairy dust.

Creating the
sexy, intimate you!
WORDS LYDIA BULLIVANT
Y
ou might be a wild spirit, or maybe you are inhibited, shy or conservative. But what if you could feel sexy and in return, improve your sex life? As a well-travelled married woman, I became interested in learning about people’s lifestyles and the products they used and trends within society. By watching, listening and talking to people across the globe, I learnt a lot about the relationships and personal issues people face on a daily basis. Quite often during those conversations, there was something that led to someone joking or making a comment about their sex life. Some had great sex lives while others had almost non-existent ones. Couples therapists have stated that if couples work on the emotional issues in their relationships, their sex lives will improve. However, it’s also the consensus that good intimacy doesn’t guarantee good sex. Sex is never just about sex; it’s also about, as I put it, the ‘closeness’ you share as a couple. Sex tends to be less
frequent for new parents, but for most couples, connecting through physical intimacy is an important facet of a healthy partnership. What I found, was most people wanted to experience the passion and desire they once had in their relationship and spice things up in the bedroom. So I decided to conduct a random survey and do a little more research. A group of people, both men and women, shared their stories, discussing products they used as well as types of lubrication. Most of the time lubrication was used that contained chemicals. A number of people in the group said they would prefer to use a natural lubricant, free of chemicals and additives. Being passionate about the health industry, and after listening to what people wanted, I decided to make a collection of natural adult products that are fun and exciting, that can be used to enhance people’s pleasure in the bedroom. Welcome to the world, Ms Elle’s Natural SEXatisfaction range! These products were developed with

an intimate and playful idea in mind for both men and women of all ages, with all natural ingredients, so it’s gentle on all parts of the body and edible, so let your imagination run wild. The products are made with organic ingredients, pure essential oils and natural scents to attract happiness and positive energy. When developing this range, women said they loved the erotic and exquisite scent of roses to make them more aroused and relaxed. Most of the men said they preferred a natural scent, especially that of organic coconut oil. Not only can these products be used for daily moisturising of the skin, they can be used as an edible massage oil and lubricant so couples can apply the product together and add their personal touch and fun in the bedroom. Best of all, they don’t contain any harmful chemicals, so they are even safe for those who are pregnant.

Set your frequency WORDS ROB FOSTER
A
s a young contractor, on big engineering projects, I was faced with many challenges. On the first day of one such project, I was confronted by a manager that was aggressive and angry towards everyone. It didn’t matter who approached him, or in what way, he was wild. I went home shocked, and to be honest, a little scared. As I reflected on the situation, I realised that there was really only two choices here. I could react and go to war with this person, calling out his behaviour and creating an enemy image of him, or I could choose a different frequency and not join his broadcast. The next day I went into work and walked up to this person with empathy in my heart and mind. I couldn’t imagine what he was dealing with in his life and wondered what it must be like to have his stress and worry. I said to him that if there was
any way I could help him, I was there. Even if it was to simply listen, I wanted him to know that he wasn’t alone. I would support him the best I could. Right there in that moment, this powerful angry man broke down and cried. He shared some of the things in his life that were so difficult and challenging and I realised he was only human. I continued to work in this organisation for many years and over time, this man became my greatest advocate. I learnt that even if others’ behaviour is challenging, you do have a choice how you respond. It is possible to turn around any situation if you resonate on a frequency of compassion. We are all projecting energy into the world and this energy attracts the quality of our relationships, experiences and even our level of health. Life is like tuning in to a radio
station, we need to be on the correct frequency if we want to listen to the desired program. Like a radio, we work in the same way. Sitting through a continual re-run of our previous drama series is not really the best entertainment. Or worse still, we completely come up blank and only experience disconnection. Upgrading our thoughts and vibrating on a compassionate frequency, will give us the happy life we all desire. Make a clear choice not to engage with negative thoughts, rather, let them blow over like clouds moving across a clear sky. Bring love and kindness my friends, and your world will open up beyond measure. ROB is a Systemic coach and therapist. He offers sessions online, in person and regular workshops Australia wide.

How to gain more
time and energy
WORDS LIZ ISENRING
M
any successful people value time even more than money. It’s not just about having more time though, is it? It’s about having the energy to do something with that extra time (no point just wasting that time in front of Netflix). Who can identify with any of the following? “I just need to get through the week and then things will get better.” “I deserve a glass of wine (or three) after the day I’ve had.” Time to get real. Self-medicating with food and alcohol is not going to help your feelings of stress and burnout in the long run. It’s important to put strategies in place. How would you like to get your time back while boosting your energy without going into stress and burnout? Well there are lots of things we can do to immediately reduce our stress. These include: deep breathing exercises, mindfulness, meditation and yoga. The key is to develop a proactive mindset to develop healthy habits that are integrated into your lifestyle so that you can create
space and have the mental and physical health to energetically enjoy life. My 3-step Stress Busting Matrix focuses on 1. Proactive mindset, 2. Personalised nutrition, and 3. Enjoyable movement to gain more time and energy with less stress and burnout. It’s led me to go part-time in my academic position to spend more time with my family, focus on meaningful work to help others, improve my mental and physical health (and drop two dress sizes!) and to increase my income. My life is now aligned to my values, I feel more energised and I live a life that I love rather than being stuck on the treadmill. If you were once motivated, productive, easy to get along with, ambitious, and driven, don’t let burnout get the best of you. It’s important to look after your own needs as well as caring for others. Some tips to help reenergise include: • Doing something you love regularly e.g. going to the beach, spending time in nature, swimming etc.
ψ
• Take regular breaks, including a lunch break. A short walk or meditation does wonders. • Eat nourishing, real food. Whole, unprocessed foods such as non-starchy vegetables, fruits, nuts and legumes are packed with fibre, vitamins, minerals and phytonutrients which help combat stress. • Drink water – keep your fluids up and aim to drink around 2 litres a day (as long as you don’t have a fluid restriction due to a heart or kidney condition). • Disconnect from technology for at least one hour before bed and one day a week (more if you can). • Relook at your job description or maybe it’s time to think about a new job?

NATURAL ANIMAL CARE
CBD: Medicine or myth for animals? WORDS DR ELAINE CEBULIAK
T
here is much work being done on the use of medical marijuana as a medicinal plant that has been used for centuries for medicinal value. Although not a panacea for all ills, this natural healing anti-cancer and antiinflammatory plant is showing promise to reduce the use of addictive opioids (in humans). It works well as anti-seizure therapeutics and synergistically acts to help cure cancer, provide pain relief (analgesia) and help with irritable bowel syndrome and other chronic illnesses. In February 2016, the Australian Parliament passed a measure legalising medical marijuana. The amendments to the Narcotic Drugs Act http://edition.cnn. com/2015/10/17/asia/australia-medicalcannabis/ will allow cannabis to be legally grown for medical and scientific purposes in Australia. However, the Therapeutic Goods Administration has not approved any formulations as yet, except for over-the-counter topical use for various brands available via herbal shops. Many of our clients are sourcing CBD oils directly from several companies, both in Australia and overseas. In combination with other natural therapies,
we are seeing extraordinary results for cancer, epilepsy, skin and even gut disorders. A holistic veterinarian colleague and friend has been doing much of the initial work, having championed the use of medical marijuana for many years. His name is Dr Robert Silver, DVM, MS, CVA, the chief medical officer for Rx Vitamins, a small animal veterinarian in Colorado. It is important that low or no THC is part of the cannabinoid product. The CBD product is very safe, as this interview with Dr Karen Becker attests: https://www.youtube.com/ watch?v=Y690LtyjvFc Dosage – in America, Amsterdam, Australia (see Dr Janet Shloss) and other countries, ongoing therapeutic trials are being processed and documented. Prior to recent studies, the generally accepted therapeutic dose range for CBD in animals has been 0.1 to 0.5mg/ kg twice daily, but you can go as high as 5mg/kg twice daily, according to Dr Silver and Cital. A Cornell study shows that dosing as high as 8mg/kg is safe, but this is not very cost-effective or practical, says Cital, who notes that dosing has been updated to 0.1 to 2mg/kg twice

daily based on now-available canine and feline data. PAIN MANAGEMENT Lower doses of CBD are generally adequate for neuropathic pain, but higher dosages are often necessary for conditions causing chronic pain and inflammation such as osteoarthritis, says Dr Silver. Dr Silver has been finding 0.5mg/kg twice daily to be effective, and he reports that other veterinarians also find lower doses work well for patients in pain. “It’s worthwhile to start at this lower dose, which may provide a successful outcome, in order to reduce the cost and amount of hemp extract to be administered”, he says. The use of CBD together with opioids may allow a reduction in opioid doses, as CBD indirectly stimulates opioid receptors, producing an opioid-sparing effect, he says. CANCER Cannabinoids appear to be able to fight cancer, possibly through the induction of cancer cell death, antiangiogenesis and some anti-metastatic properties, these experts say. Cital reports that an in vitro study looking at three different canine cancer cell lines was just completed by Joseph J Wakshlag, DVM,

PhD at Cornell University, with results expected to be released in 2020. Dr Wakshlag is also working on a quality-oflife in vivo study. While Dr Silver cautions that many claims surrounding CBD and cancer are not yet based on evidence, he also says researchers have discovered the presence of receptors on tumour cells for cannabinoids. He knows of a veterinary oncologist who was treating a lingual mass using non-tetrahydrocannabinol (THC) CBD as a sole treatment (0.5mg/ kg twice daily). Six weeks later the mass was reduced to nearly nothing. One of our colleagues, bird specialist Dr Ross Perry, was dying of stage 4 prostate cancer several months ago. Here is a YouTube video my good friend and photographer made about his story: https://youtu. be/jnq0zq7H7No https://youtu.be/ jnq0zq7H7No?fbclid=IwAR0ngeijuC57J1r5yqjzuATHwOkDP0AdShFDbsUf e8smEF1s-GNlGEtFxo. He combined medical cannabis with natural therapies and went from death’s door (seriously, as explained by the hospital) to doing quite well. Another anecdote involved Olive, a
dog with an appendicular fibrosarcoma whose owners did not want to amputate. First, non-CBD-containing nutraceuticals were successfully used for one year, and then the tumour started to grow again. The patient was started on a 1:1 CBD:THC product, and within 90 days the tumour had shrunk dramatically. In another account, a dog with an undifferentiated nasal carcinoma with bone lysis was treated with a non-THCCBD product (0.4mg/kg twice daily) and the tumour shrunk significantly over six weeks of treatment. The dog was still in remission 14 months later. SEIZURES Dr Silver describes a Colorado State University study of CBD for refractory epilepsy (2.5mg/kg twice daily) in which some dogs experienced a 40% reduction in seizures – not a very impressive result, Dr Silver says. A new study at a higher dose (4.5mg/kg twice daily) is taking place now, but it’s too early to draw
valuable conclusions. Still, he says, for uncomplicated seizures that aren’t frequent or are well-controlled with anticonvulsant drugs, veterinarians and pet owners are finding that 0.5 to 1.0mg/kg of CBD twice daily can control seizures and, in some cases, allow for reduced doses of anti-epileptic drugs. We have seen reductions in seizures with this, and in combination with a ketogenic diet and acupuncture, some very beneficial results can be obtained. A diagnosis is helpful first, as some seizures are caused by brain tumours, and a multiple pronged approach for treating cancer should be utilised for these. Although Medical MJ is probably quite safe, a low THC product will give less psychogenic side effects and certain strains, such as Charlotte’s variety, may be more efficacious. www.animalwellness.com.au

Healthy mouth,
healthy body
WORDS DR DON KELLY
T
he mouth is a breeding ground for bacteria. As host to the bacteria, in addition to mucus and food particles, the mouth can sometimes become a hotbed for the development of bacterial infections and diseases. This is concerning, as recent studies have found that the mouth acts like a portal to the whole body, and it’s possible oral bacteria can escape into the bloodstream and damage major organs. A growing body of research has linked oral infections, like periodontitis, to other health problems, including heart attack, diabetes and even dementia. In other words, research has identified a relationship between poor oral health and your overall health. Health problems that can be associated with poor oral health include: DIABETES People with diabetes are more prone to periodontal disease than people without diabetes. This is probably due to the former group being more susceptible to contracting infections. This is particularly true for people who may not be managing their condition.
CARDIOVASCULAR DISEASES Research has shown that 91% of patients with cardiovascular disease demonstrated moderate to severe periodontitis. The same study showed a statistically significant relationship between coronary artery disease and periodontitis. PREMATURE BIRTH Research suggests the bacteria that cause inflammation in the gums can actually enter the bloodstream and target the foetus, potentially leading to premature labour and low birth weight babies. CANCER According to a research report published in Lancet Oncology, the presence of gum disease increases your cancer risk. From data collected over 21 years involving the health records of 50,000 patients, the research concluded that even moderate gum disease accounts for a 14% increase in cancer risk. When it comes to your health, it’s better to be safe than sorry. That’s why we recommend a holistic approach
to dentistry. This approach considers a patient’s dental needs alongside their emotional and physical health, promoting total health and wellbeing. At Face Value Dental, we are committed to patient education and the integration of interdisciplinary programs that address dental and oral issues using natural, patient-friendly methods. We stress the importance of dental methods, instruments and materials that are considered safer for patients, staff and the environment. We care about the mind, body and spirit of our patients, and this is apparent from the way we combine natural treatment techniques and the latest dental technology to achieve our oral care objectives. Our holistic treatments and programs include safe amalgam removal, metal-free treatment options, low exposure to x-ray and diagnosis tools, and much more. Face Value Dental combines over 25 years of holistic philosophy with advanced dental techniques. For more info: www.facevaluedental.com

My year to
do things differently!
WORDS KRISHNA EVERSON
F
rom the get-go, this year has FELT different. I am also BEing different. I don’t seem myself, yet ironically it appears to be exactly what I am BECOMING. Does anyone else feel this? There is so much change occurring, it seems effortless and I am observing it with joy. They are small things that make a big difference. Things I have resisted for a VERY long time. For decades! Being human can be a struggle, we have challenges, hurdles to overcome; some of which are out of our control, but often it is ourselves who are in our own way, tolerating things that no longer serve us, and holding on to perceived injustices. Over the past year, I have owned this. I have taken responsibility for the irritations I’ve allowed to affect me, the poor habits, and the hurts of the past I have allowed to shape me. I am not
those things! Sometimes it’s time to let go! I am viewing the world through new eyes, like a child experiencing something for the very first time. It is a process of re-parenting myself. I am evolving from the hurt inner child to the fully expressed mature woman! Instead of struggling with clutter, consuming coffee and alcohol when it needs to be water, being indulgent with food and watching TV until late into the evening (all types of self-medicating and numbing), I am decluttering effortlessly, I am waking early to exercise each morning, going to bed early and drinking lots of water throughout the day, I’ve ditched my morning lattes and have reduced my alcohol intake to a third! I’ve given up sugar and all processed carbohydrates, I cruised through the detox with ease, with lots of water and quality sleep, a few
headaches, but I’d get those anyway! It may as well be for a good reason. They were not the detox sledgehammer I had expected and avoided! This may seem like a lot of change in a short period, but these were not New Year resolutions. Coupled with my intention of the last year, I believe it is the energy of 2020. It’s simply time to allow the old to drop away and embrace the new! I am fortunate to be surrounded by wise men and women who inspire me every day. Their magazine articles, their insightful Facebook posts, their promptings and encouragement, the events and workshops I have attended and circles I have joined, my beautiful friends and colleagues, have all provided me with the tools and knowledge I need to move forward. I have also tuned in, looked up, and am embracing a better version of myself. It is time.
