nimals are such a massive contribution to us, do we really appreciate them fully? It’s a thrill to have an extended feature devoted to connecting with our animal friends this edition. My photo this month includes my gorgeous Bindy girl, who has taught me so much. The photo has a lot of memories attached, as it was the last photo my Dad took of us about five years ago; just a few years before he crossed over and so it’s special to share for many reasons. As we all know, animals give unconditional love; they don’t care if your hair is brushed or if you live in a mansion or a shack, they love the simple things in life. And like many animals, Bindy is incredibly aware and has her own healing capacities. I can often gauge the energy of our household by how she is being. When she is playful and rolling around on her back playing with her paws in the air, balancing her toys with them, she is not only at her happiest, she also is picking up on the joy and fun in our household. When she is pensive or a bit quiet, I know there is something usually going on with

regards to fear that someone is dealing with in our family or a big decision that requires extra trust and self-belief. Bindy has so much enthusiasm and even though she is soon to be ten, she takes everything in her stride and is still as curious and cheeky as she was when she was a puppy (although I have more shoes now). She also amazes me with her large receptive vocabulary and she certainly knows how to communicate what she requires very successfully without words. She has had two litters of beautiful puppies in her lifetime and one of the puppies was kept by my stepson, so it’s often funny to watch mother and son together out exploring our land and getting up to mischief. It’s easy to see why they become our best friends… What stories would you like to share about connecting with your animal friends?

Creative kids

IN THE KITCHEN

WORDS LUISA TOALDO

rowing up I was always encouraged to be at the kitchen bench. It wasn’t uncommon to be rolling out biscuits, pasta and all sorts of deliciousness in between. Getting kids into the kitchen can be a great way to encourage their creativity, enhance their motor skills and reinforce maths and comprehension skills. But what if you don’t always have the time, or let’s be honest, the patience to teach your kids in the kitchen? Just like apprentices, kids don’t need to be able to do it all from start to finish. I first learnt how to help in the kitchen by peeling potatoes, picking herbs, stirring cake batters and rolling biscuits. My kitchen confidence became second nature as I was allowed to explore more and more culinary challenges as I improved. Cooking can become a stress release and time-out for adults and kids alike. Many parents have told me of their children’s baking and cooking during exam times, as an outlet to their crowded head space that allows their bodies to enjoy the quiet and joy of a

kitchen and creating. I have worked with kids and adults for many years either teaching or working alongside them and it has become clear that bodies love to create as much as they love to eat. You don’t need to be creating four-course degustations to be able to enjoy the benefits of creative expression in the kitchen. Memories are made from the simplest tasks and whilst I don’t remember exact meals of my youth, I do remember the delight at licking the bowl, my mum handing over beaters with a smile of resignation that there was no way it was going to the sink untasted. Encouraging kids into the kitchen can also create eating choice confidence – by giving new flavours and tastes a go, they can foster confidence in new choices and explore what their body enjoys and what tastes good to them. So where to start in the kitchen? Depending on the age of your child any recipe can be assisted within some part. An easy place to start are muffins or fritters – mixing, measuring, stirring,

DEPRESSION, ADHD and MOOD SWINGS: Could it be linked to

PROTEIN DEFICIENCIES?

WORDS BY SARAH KOTTMANN

Once the light hits our eye, our melatonin production stops and switches to serotonin for the day; we only have as much as we created during melatonin sleep. So you can start to see, if we don’t have enough protein to make melatonin during sleep, then we can’t make serotonin, which makes us happy. This can occur due to lack of protein in our diet or poor absorption of the amino acid due to issues in breakdown, within the stomach and small intestine. Other important neurotransmitters that require protein include dopamine, controlling our movement and emotional response, and GABA, a neurotransmitter that lessens our response to stress and stimulation, (a deficiency is normally found in children with ADHD). Some small changes can be made to increase protein and absorption:

rotein is an important function and essential for building, repairing and cellular replication. Protein can be found in plant-based food, as well as animal-based food. It’s important for women to be getting 0.75g/kg of weight and men 0.84g/kg of weight. When breastfeeding or pregnant you should be eating 1g/kg of weight. The brain communicates with itself by sending out chemical information from one neuron, or nerve cell to another. Protein, which is broken down into amino acids, is vital for efficient chemistry and brain functioning. Serotonin is one of the main neurotransmitters, and deficiencies can cause depression, impulsive and aggressive behaviour, violence and suicidal thoughts. Melatonin is made at night when we are sleeping in the dark but it requires the amino acid tryptophan.

Little Munchkins superfood formula for toddlers Dairy Free, Gluten Free, Soy Free and Organic • Provides nutrition for growing toddlers • Helps calm the mind for peaceful sleep • Calms digestion and builds immunity

• Eat the required amount of protein for your weight and sex and make sure it’s a complete protein, meaning it contains all essential amino acids. Foods with complete protein include: meat, poultry, fish, quinoa, hummus, tofu, buckwheat, chia seeds, protein shakes and rice with beans. • Sleep in a bedroom that is dark to make sure you manufacture melatonin. • Correct your sleep/wake cycle – if you wake frequently address with natural therapist. • If you have bloating, discomfort or gas, this may cause lack of absorption so address this through gut healing, digestive enzymes, probiotics etc. • Drinking lemon water or a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar in warm water 20-30 minutes before meals, can assist digestion. natureshappiness.com.au

Blueberry Pudding with Caramel Sauce RECIPE JEN SHAW from Barefoot Kitchens

A delicious, healthy pudding to indulge your sweet tooth. Makes 6 individual portions or 1 large pudding Ingredients: 2 cups almond meal ½ cup tapioca flour 1 tsp bicarb soda 2 eggs 1 cup dairy free vanilla coconut yoghurt ½ tsp vanilla extract ¼ cup honey 125g fresh blueberries (or ½ cup frozen blueberries) For the sauce: 1 cup coconut cream 1 tsp vanilla extract 2 tbsp honey 1 tbsp coconut oil Method: Preheat oven to 175°C. In a bowl mix together the pudding ingredients, stirring through the

blueberries last and gently until just combined. Bake in small, well-greased pudding dishes or in one large pudding dish for approximately 20 minutes (depending on the size of your pudding dish) until firm in the middle (a gentle push to see if the mixture bounces back indicates it is ready). For the sauce, in a small pot on the stove bring sauce ingredients to the boil then lower heat and simmer for a few minutes. Once the pudding is finished, pour the sauce over the top and serve with some extra berries or a coconut ice-cream. You can substitute the blueberries for any seasonal sweet fruit.

6 UNEXPECTED BENEFITS OF

colon cleansing

WORDS JOEL GRACE, Owner, Sunshine Colonics Health & Wellness Centre

bviously the main benefit of a colonic is that you’re going to leave with a squeaky clean colon. But did you know that many people report a big range of other benefits after giving their insides a good clean? Here’s a few unexpected perks that clients have been surprised to experience after colon hydrotherapy: 1 – Improved Complexion and Skin Appearance The colon is our primary channel of waste elimination. When it isn’t working efficiently the waste has to be eliminated via other means, which is when we start to see acne, pimples, eczema and other skin complaints. Cleansing the colon takes the burden off your other elimination organs (skin, liver, kidneys, lymphatic system) and allows them to work more efficiently, reducing those embarrassing breakouts and unsightly rashes. 2 – Weight Loss Did you know we can have 5 or more kilos of impacted waste in our colon at any given time? No wonder so many of us find it hard to shift those

extra kilos! Additionally, a diet low in fibre takes much longer to move along our digestive system than high-fibre foods. As a response, our body naturally produces excess mucus to assist in elimination, which physically weighs down your colon and contributes to weight gain. Colonics help clear the waste, mucus, gas and undigested food from your colon, resulting in a flatter tummy. 3 – Better Concentration A blocked digestive system and poor diet can lead to you becoming distracted and losing concentration easily. Cleansing your colon not only removes blockages affecting your focus, but allows better absorption of nutrients and minerals needed to keep your brain functioning effectively. 4 – Decreased Anxiety Levels It’s often said that our gut is our second brain, so if we’re feeling out of balance in our gut, this sends a similar message to our brain and results in anxiety, depression and a generally low mood. Removing bad intestinal bacteria

and adding the good guys back in with probiotics can alter the way you process emotional information, resulting in antianxiety and mood-enhancing effects. 5 – Enhanced Immune System Function Detoxing your colon is a must for boosting your immune system. As we house the majority of our immune system within our colon, it is essential that we keep our colon clean so that we have a perfect breeding ground for healthy gut flora to proliferate. Regular cleansing means the immune system has less work to do, leaving it in a stronger state to fight the important battles. 6 – Increased Energy Levels A blocked colon encourages toxins to be reabsorbed back into your bloodstream, leading to those tired and sluggish feelings we’ve all experienced. So by getting rid of accumulated waste from your gut, clients often report feeling rejuvenated and full of energy, giving you better blood and lymph circulation and a more restful sleep. sunshinecolonics.com.au

IMPROVE GUT HEALTH to WORDS SUZI LE FANUE, BSc (Biomed) Naturopath

t is very clear that antidepressants are prescribed more now than ever before. Yet, the percentage of people suffering with mental health is continuing to increase. Why is this? I do believe in certain circumstances there is a place for pharmaceutical intervention. However, is it really addressing all facets of depression? Mental health is so multidimensional and this is probably why in the past it hasn’t been considered a true “disease” by many people. There are many neurotransmitter, hormonal, biochemical imbalances, lifestyle and psychological factors that an antidepressant simply cannot address. The first neurotransmitter that comes to mind is serotonin. It is important for mood regulation. What many of us are unaware of is how and where it is made. All neurotransmitters are made from amino acids and nutrient cofactors. Amino acids are essentially from protein in your diet. For example, serotonin production requires the amino acid tryptophan. This makes it incredibly important to make sure you are eating sufficient levels of protein. Your gut is your serotonin factory! Research is continually being done in the area of the gut-brain connection. It astounds me the amount of people that have never been asked about their

feel good

digestive system or if they suspect any food reactants. A review of literature focused on gluten and mental health published in Psychiatric Quarterly stated, “A wide range of psychiatric symptoms and disorders have been associated with CD (Celiac Disease) and GS (Gluten Sensitivity). Those occurring most commonly include anxiety disorders, depressive and mood disorders, ADHD, Autism and Schizophrenia.” Dr Natasha McBride author of Gut and Psychology Syndrome (GAPS) has become a leader in the treatment of mental health conditions through treating the gut. Her process includes elimination of grains, sugars, reactive foods and favouring gut healing foods such as easily digested foods, fermented foods and bone broth. Many people will say that they believe their mental health state is a result of genetics. And this may be true. There are numerous genes with supportive evidence linking them to mental health conditions. One that has significant support is the MTHFR gene, particularly the C677T polymorphism. This gene is fundamental in the process of folate utilisation. Low serum folate can be seen in those with mental health conditions, such as depression. As a screening tool I usually

recommend testing for homocysteine, as this is generally high in those with this polymorphism. It is particularly more problematic when it has been inherited from both parents. It is thought that around 10% of the population have what is termed “pyroluria”. When these are high it can be more difficult to produce neurotransmitters like serotonin, because your nutrient requirements are higher for cofactors needed for neurotransmitter production. Elevated pyrroles can be seen in the urine of many people with depression, anxiety, insomnia, alcoholism, IBS, anger, inability to cope with stress, strong fatigue and children with behavioural issues. We are starting to see a positive shift in the area of biomedical intervention with more and more medical doctors completing training with organisations such as Bio Balance and MINDD. It excites me to see the change that is taking place. Mental health issues are a disease and should be treated as such. The basis of treatment for more, I believe, should include pathology testing, nutrient analysis, lifestyle changes and the care of a psychologist. integratedwellnessclinic.com.au

was about five years old and knows it’s what she’s meant to do. Put it this way – she can’t not do it. Amanda knows how much comfort and peace it can give her clients when they receive messages from those they’ve loved. She also knows better than many just what they’re going through – she’s suffered several losses of her own in recent years. “I lost my best friend, Peter, in

August, 2012. We’d been friends for 23 years,” explains Amanda. “Then my partner, Mick, was killed in a truck accident in 2013, which was devastating. In 2014 I lost my dad, whom I was very close to, and finally my beloved dog, Kelli, passed over later that year. “It was a very painful time, let me tell you, but knowing they are in a better place and not in any pain has helped me get through. When my dad was passing,

SO I HAVE A LOT OF EMPATHY AND I KNOW PEOPLE’S PAIN ON A VERY HUMAN LEVEL AND THAT DESPERATION TO WANT TO HEAR FROM THAT PERSON… TO KNOW THAT THAT PERSON IS STILL AROUND THEM AND KNOWING WHAT’S GOING ON IN THEIR LIVES.

I held his hand and whispered in his ear, ‘Dad, is Mum there?’ and he just squeezed my hand ever so gently. I knew she was there waiting for him – I felt her energy around a few days before he passed, so I knew it was coming. “So I have a lot of empathy and I know people’s pain on a very human level and that desperation to want to hear from that person… to know that that person is still around them and knowing what’s going on in their lives. It might be 50 years later but they’re still there.” Many of Amanda’s clients come to her specifically for animal readings, her reputation for this having grown since she started her weekly column, The Animal Whisperer, in Woman’s Day magazine a couple of years ago. There she gives people information about their pet – which she receives through merely speaking to them over the phone – which is verified for accuracy by the pet owner. Inevitably it’s amazingly spot-on. So, just how does she ‘translate’ what an animal is telling her? “It’s definitely not in words but more like pictures,” Amanda says. “For instance, a lady asked me about her horse’s leg, but before I found out what was wrong with the leg, I picked up on something with his stomach.’ “I told her that it was with some of the food she was giving him because he (the horse) showed me his stomach bloating and then I felt the pain. The lady then said, ‘Oh gosh yes, we’ve had trouble with him bloating with his stomach over the years. I’d forgotten about that.’ “I asked the horse and my Guides, ‘What is causing this pain?’ The horse

showed me a picture of this bottle of herbs being sprinkled over his food. When I saw a picture of the horse eating the herbs and the food, then I felt the pain in my tummy. I actually feel, just for a moment, physical pain.” Of course, sometimes the news isn’t good regarding a pet’s health – an area Amanda deals with regularly. And one of the most common concerns is around the subject of euthanasia. She gives owners much-needed reassurance. “I have never had an animal come through and say, ‘I am angry my owner put me to sleep’. They are always grateful because they know that there is someone waiting to collect them after they have passed over, like a relative.” Amanda insists she doesn’t pressure owners towards euthanasia but makes the suggestion in a sensitive way if she receives the message from the animal that they’re ready to go. “In those cases, the animals show me a picture of them wanting to cross over – they’re lying down and the needle goes into them and then they peacefully cross over a rainbow bridge and are met by loved ones on the other side. I say to the owner, ‘Your animal loves you and understands that you’re only trying to end their suffering and not their life.’” Followers of Amanda are familiar with the antics of her own dog, Rommy, who regularly features in amusing anecdotes about his naughty behaviour chewing up some piece of furniture or clothing. So, what is this so-called ‘animal whisperer’ who specialises in helping others deal with their pets’ behavioural issues doing about her own canine companion? Amanda laughs, saying, “Mechanics

always drive the worst cars! Rommy is his own person and I don’t try and change him. Generally, he’s a good boy. We’ve got to remember he came from a fighting background, bred to fight for illegal gambling. But he’s so good with my grandchildren.” Like most things in Amanda’s life, the story of how she got Rommy seems to be one of the universe having plans for her. She was supposed to look after him for three days. That was four years ago. She says about their first meeting: “As soon as I saw him, I knew. He was a monster at first, a real handful, but my other dog, Kelli, and I taught him a lot.” Luckily, the new man in Amanda’s life, Gav, is adored by her pooch. “Rommy absolutely loves him. He hears his car well before I can and he jumps up and down and says, ‘Gav’s here, Gav’s here!’” So, after the losses of a few years back, it seems Amanda is happy again, including a move to the Sunshine Coast recently. She says of her current state, “The universe worked its magic. Gav and I crossed paths and I had a feeling that the universe and [former partner] Mick, to a certain degree, were instigating something.

She’s involved with a TV series in development, she’s been asked to be a guest speaker at several events, and she’s working on her healing gifts as well as doing her regular private readings, Woman’s Day column, and mediumship shows. Following on from her first book, Amanda De Warren: My Journey Behind Blue Eyes, she’s starting work on a new book about animal communications. “It’s about animals and their lives – the secret life of animals.

THE

from the

WILD

WORDS JEAN SHEEHAN, Principal – Millennium Education

ince 2010 I have been connecting with the wildlife in my backyard and that includes kookaburras, magpies, butcher birds, lorikeets and bats. At that time, I was being tested by the universe and had much emotional and mental pain from an experience. I was not sleeping well and would get up at 2.30am each morning and listen to nature as my ‘crazy’ mind took over my thoughts. It was at that time I could hear the sacred tones of the bats and their high pitch song was vibrating in my core cells. It was rather uplifting if I allowed myself to be one with them. As a child, I was fascinated by bats and loved their cute faces as I saw them a bit like dogs with wings. Before I knew it, daylight popped in and the day was woken with the kookaburras, lorikeets and butcher birds. Their call was saying ‘wake up’. I tuned in to these sounds for three months and found that each morning I craved to hear their sweet sound as it was soothing to my centre and cells. I wanted to see these divine creatures and would sit outside with my

peppermint tea. Over time the animals got to know me and would sit very close by. I knew they were talking to me directly but I was not sure what they were saying. My gift is looking inside human bodies, whereas my youngest son’s gift is seeing inside animals’ bodies. There was an innate knowing however that they were giving some sort of healing to me as I could feel warmth pulsating from them in to my heart. This was very comforting and brought so much peace. As my personal experience intensified, I decided to ask for help from the animals as I needed guidance and I knew they would provide me truth and honesty. So I said, “I want to see eight kookaburras on my back fence if I will get through this hardship.” Sure enough two days later, there on my back fence were eight kookaburras and all having a laugh… I think at me! It was like they gifted me love and healing which gave me clarity on my monkey mind. And yes, the situation I was in suddenly cleared and the illusion was gone with no more anguish for me. So I say to all humans, ensure to

What are your SUPER

POWERS with animals?

WORDS ANNE ALECKSON

remember being a child and listening to a song on the radio that excited my imagination with its words. “If I could talk to the animals, just imagine it… if they could talk to me.” Today, as an awakened grown-up I know that I can… and so can you! As a Soul having a human experience on this Earth, at this time of an evolutionary change that has never been experienced before, we are each awakening to our innate abilities, of which there are hundreds. When you work on raising your vibrational frequency and practise minding your own vibration you will find yourself firstly noticing a strengthening in your intuitive abilities and an opening in your third eye and pineal that allows for far greater powers than you have ever experienced before. This awakening to our innate abilities is happening to every single being on the planet – every human being, all nature beings, the animal beings and the many non-physical beings – from your passed loved ones to the highest Masters and Guides. We are essentially

all walking each other home to higher consciousness and an evolutionary awakening of world changing proportions. You can see it in everything around you. In the corporate arena it’s being experienced through ‘disruptive’ companies like Uber and AirB&B. In our children it is being experienced as so-called health issues and sexual identity crises that have never been experienced in such great numbers before. We are seeing the breakdown of all that has been established for so long and now, we are also experiencing it through a demand for change in politics, the monetary systems and in our own unwillingness to be tied to lifetime jobs that end in a gold watch and retirement, choosing entrepreneurship instead. It is also being seen within the spiritual arena with the troubles in many of the world’s religions and more people identifying as ‘spiritual but not religious’. What innate abilities or spiritual gifts

are being awakened within you? Have you started to experience telepathic relationships with your children and close family members, perhaps you have merged both right and left-brain and are now enjoying life from the whole brain perspective. Have you brought together the inner twin flames and balanced male and female within you? As a direct voice channel the innate abilities I mainly work with are Direct Guidance and Integration with the Masters. What about you! Are you tuned into your ability to communicate with the animals – give it a try the next time you are petting the family dog. Drop into your energy field and merge with your pet’s aura. Ask a question and quietly listen for the answer. Find out if talking to the animals is one of your spiritual gifts.

a toxic, alcoholic and abusive family, horses were my soft place to lean. They knew how lost, confused and desperate for love I was, and they always held a non-judgmental, loving space for me. On the ranch I had my pick of animals to affiliate with; dogs, cats, pigs, cows or various other creatures that were within my range. Why was the horse a source of such deep significance? For me, they represented freedom from the hell I was living as a child, strength to face my story and yes, magic, when they intuitively knew and would literally breathe love into me. I have observed this magnetic bond often, mostly with women or girls who have massive, traumatic life stories. They are impacted by the essence of the horse, either physically or spiritually. Recently I started to wonder where this bond originated. I started looking at our history with the horse and found this alliance goes as far back in our history as Ancient Greek times. Mythology was used as a means to explain where humanity had come from and where it was going; fierce and fantastic creatures where often used to emphasise the difficult tasks heroes are set; a metaphor perhaps for accessing our own hero. An example of this alliance is the white winged stallion Pegasus, the divine symbol of wisdom and inspiration. Could it be that women, in particular, who have ominous life stories, are

subconsciously connected to this winged horse? Well, let’s look at Pegasus’ life story. He was sired by Poseidon, God of the Sea, Earthquakes, Storms and Horses; Pegasus was conceived by rape; foaled by Medusa, (a winged human female, whom, because she was raped, was persecuted by being turned into a monster, with living venomous snakes in place of her hair and gazers on her face would turn to stone) as she died from decapitation. Quite a massive traumatic beginning, however, despite Pegasus’ lineage of despoilment he symbolised the divine journey to Heaven and was represented as a gentle, eager-to-help, good-hearted, loyal creature. He was raised in love and respect by the Muses at Mount Helicon and was particularly important to Urania, the Muse of Astronomy and Universal Love. He was aid to Bellerophon in the slaying of many monsters. Pegasus ended up on Mount Olympus and served Zeus by delivering his thunder and lightning bolts whenever needed. Because of his faithful service to Zeus, and being mortal, he was honoured with catasterismi; upon his death, he became a constellation. As he rose to the Heavens, a single white feather fell to the earth. Could this feather be a sign of hope for those who have suffered immense pains and traumas at the hands of others, a sign that there is a way through such trauma

and that the path to healing can be supported by our horse masters? There have been big shifts happening in the human/animal realm and the magical spirit of the horse through horse facilitated learning methodologies are at the forefront of this shift. What exactly is this magical, spiritual connection doing for us? Like Pegasus, horses are gentle, good-hearted, loyal and eager to help us. They teach us: that power, when wielded appropriately, is of commendable value; they demand us to be 100% present in their presence; they teach us to understand our emotional upsets and quickly return to doing what brings us joy; and they show us how to use our vulnerability as our power. Ultimately, horses connect us back to our beginnings, with such spirit, power and strength that we cannot ignore our inner calling. Once we ignite that inspiration, feel the source of freedom and strength, no matter where we come from, no matter what our stories, when we access such power, we only go forward in deep healing of ourselves and our families. So let us gaze upon the constellation Pegasus, embraced in Universal Love and connect once again to the power of horses and allow them to gently guide us through a journey of self-discovery and transformation. leadingthewayinternational.com

I have discovered in health matters if you are repulsing a certain element, e.g. zinc, this will lead to kidney deficiency. You can take herbs, supplements etc to improve your kidney energy but the zinc repulsion will remain for life and you will be kidney deficient for life. Change the

repulsion and then suddenly your health improves. In fact I would go as far as to say this is the basis of healing. Healing occurs within an instant or at least two minutes of focused attention. Sound has twelve musical notes, the body has twelve acupuncture channels and each note is aligned with an acupuncture channel. The acupuncture channels are aligned with the sacred platonic solid shapes â&#x20AC;&#x201C; which effectively mean the nuclear alignment of elements of the periodic table. Everything in the universe comes from the periodic table. So effectively if you repel a substance in the periodic table, e.g. zinc, this relates to the platonic solid Icosahedron, which relates to the kidney / bladder channels. If these channels become deficient, the energy balance will be upset, and then health matters will ensue. Healing changes the repulsion to an attraction. I have created a device and sound files that help change repulsion to an attraction. Along with specific understanding of how healing occurs, this creates an instant healing effect for anything physical or mental. Most healing modalities do not define where the energy needs to go; I have created a diagnostic system that diagnoses the four energy systems in the body which mimic the four waves in the universe.

I have created sound files for each acupuncture channel which has all the essential elements, vitamins, amino acids and some specific chemical reactions included in the music. The sound files have four different frequencies to mimic the four energy systems in the universe. The files will be available in an App to purchase. I begin a period of teaching this amazing system of healing to supplement any healing practice you currently use. Here is an example of a stroke patient seen in Noosa Hospital: the aged patient suffered a stroke and was confused, she did not know who she was, could not identify a pen, and tell the time. I could not gain consent for acupuncture but placed my hand on her heart channel and gave the specific healing and played the heart sound file. Within 24 hours she was completely cognisant of who she was and could tell the time of day. Seven days later she was struggling with memory recall and was only getting about 50% flash card recall. A further visit and healing in the stomach channel returned her memory recall to 99% within 24 hours.

Hmmm, how long has your dog had pancreatitis?” were the words that flew out of my mouth. “Oh, is that what Fluffy has?” asked the owner. “How do you know?” Indeed. How did I know? Because that is certainly what the blood tests later confirmed. Of course within 20 minutes we both had an in-house lab diagnosis

and a treatment plan, and I had already placed acupuncture needles during the exam to reduce the stomach pain, so it was easing off already. Pancreas pain is specific to the area behind the rib cage, but can also have a general abdominal guarding. A hunched appearance and reluctance to move is also a feature. There is often a mild

temperature elevation, which can be felt in the ears, or a rectal thermometer can give you a more accurate representation, and there is generally a history of “indulgence” from the BBQ on the weekend; so Mondays are a common day for this signal, together with a history of some vomiting the night before.

even some words that seem to come from the animal in question. It may come as a colourful image (too many surgeries make my dreams very vivid!). This may sound bizarre to anyone who has never studied quantum physics, or animal communication, but think about Alexander Graham Bell, and the mobile phones we have today. How many “healers” have weird digital electronic things going off for no particular reason? (Yeah, happens to a lot of us, right?!) Think about the brain and its ability to “transmit” in wave form – not really so far-fetched, right? Then again, perhaps it is because we, as vets and animal healers, have subliminally learnt some subtle behaviour body signs. This is part of the power of holistic medicine. It is also how we learn to “listen”. Animals talk. It might not be in English, but it is definitely possible to understand their Doglish/Felinish. They give off all kinds of signs, and communicate very well. Learning their body language is part of listening. Here are some cues to look for with either calm, or anxiety/pain behaviour. Here are some basic behavioural clues that cats and dogs can use to tell us when they are distressed: DOGS: • Lip/nose licking • Yawning – uneasy

• Tail down and still • Tense face and body • Wide eyes, big pupils • Rapid eye movements • Lick tongue in and out quickly • Look at you out of corner of eye • Weight over back legs and ready to run • Ears back and eyelids drawn back (whites) • Head down and paw up = worried (teeth out of way) CATS: • Ears back • Vocalising, restless • Tense face and body • Wide eyes, big pupils • Rapid eye movements • Tail down and still (dull/painful) • Tail ﬂicking side to side (irritated) • Hunched over posture (pain/fear) • Look out of the corner of their eye • Head hung low, eyes dull/squinting (pain) Here are the behavioural cues that indicate that your pet is relaxed and calm: DOGS: • Ears up and forward, but relaxed • Ears slightly to the side, with eyes sleepy/closed • Tail up and wagging • Stance is relaxed or sitting comfortably and possibly leaning into you • Mouth relaxed

CATS: • Ears up and forward • Eyes sleepy/closed or open, with small pupils • Tail still trailing out behind them or wrapped around their body • Stance relaxed or sitting with feet tucked underneath them • Paws kneading • Rolling onto their back, showing their stomach • Whiskers back in relaxed position • Extending and curling its toes • Nose rubbing or head butting • Purring (however keep in mind that this can also be a sign of stress/pain. As a qualified veterinarian of many years, with training in Reiki, remedial massage therapy, acupuncture, and naturopathy amongst other things, it’s possible that my brain has become more of a quantum machine, or my intuition based on past experience is more attuned to “listening” to the animal. My best friend, the Miggles dog and I certainly have a connection – I can “think” him into the room for a cuddle or project the thought of getting some cheese and peak his interest in nanosecond time! He is also very compliant on the stand-up paddle board; he moves into position without request. Happy communicating! Hug your pet – if they ask for it! animalwellness.com.au

USING AWARENESS

with animals

WORDS JULES O’NEILL

am an animal lover like most of us. Having three children, over time I have been lucky enough to share our home with: dogs, hermit crabs, guinea pigs (and their babies), mice, fish and a snake. Throughout that time, I have used awareness via the Women’s Wisdom system to understand some of our pets’ behaviours. I have also been able to tune into their emotional bodies and gather more understanding of how they are feeling, their likes and their dislikes. Do animals have feelings similar to us? I believe they do. Just like humans, animals are sensitive to their surroundings. They can, in my point of view, take on the emotional stress of the owner, other people and animals around them. If and when they are out of emotional balance, just like us, they can develop reactive behaviours as well. Their reactive behaviours can include things like: biting, rashes,

restlessness, attracting fleas, excessive barking, lack of energy, getting sick, different out of the ordinary behaviours etc. What is possible to help them? Just like I have with myself, family and clients I have used awareness to connect and help animals. When I notice something unusual in our pets’ behaviour I tune in and take a look. An example of where awareness can help animals heal. Just last night I was at a friend’s house and they have a cat who is extremely loved and cherished. Out of the blue the cat jumped up between my friend and myself and started to behave very unusually; tossing and flicking his tail aggressively. When we looked with awareness at what was going on with the cat, it was feeling confused and wanted to feel clear. My friends presently had a home full of visitors who had been staying with

them for about 2-3 days. I could identify that the cat’s confusion was with my friend’s husband – the cat’s favourite owner. In the time the visitors had been staying, the husband had been letting the cat bite him playfully and forgetting to take him to bed at night. Normally when it’s just the two of them at home, their cat is not allowed to playfully bite and the husband takes him up to bed in the evening. After we chatted and became aware of all this, the cat’s behaviour transformed immediately. Calmed right down and went back over to the husband. We all noticed the shift in behaviour and energy. I have seen this happen lots of times and have many stories to share. My intention with this article is to inform you that there are times when awareness can heal and help animals as well as humans.

more TO HAVE AND BE WITH YOUR

WORDS VIV ADCOCK

ave you had the strange behaviour, the reappearing disease or lameness, that keeps you and the experts wondering? Could it be that your horse is trying to communicate with you and has not been able to get through? We have seen many horses that had some part of their life not working and desperately looking to communicate that to their people. Once we listen, acknowledge and also have the tools to change that, situations that seemed unsolvable before literally dissolve before our eyes. Horses also can have ideas about what their lives should look like, or what activities they enjoy. And so often we decide it for them by their genetics, or body shape. There was a horse that refused to move once the saddle was on. She could not be convinced or trained. A great horse without the saddle, kind and very responsive. After asking her many questions we became aware that this Quarter Horse wanted

to wear English tack. Her person got on with English tack, and not only did she immediately move, she also showed off all the things she knew about English riding that no-one had ever seen her do before. Would YOU like to awaken your capacity to listen to an animal’s body, tune in to the subtle and substantial whispers and create dynamic change for them (and you)? Energetic Synthesis of Structural Embodiment (ESSE) is a unique body work that combines the tools of Access Consciousness™ with handson manipulation techniques targeting the connective fascial tissue located throughout every inch of the body. ESSE is designed to create an expansion of people’s awareness of telepathic communication and increase skills with manual and energetic processes which facilitate change in the structure and form of the body resulting in ease with movement, function and the energetic body systems.

In this workshop you will be learning physical techniques and energetic Access Consciousness™ body processes, which when combined can create dynamic changes in old injuries, muscle tension and skeletal compromise. Scientific research illustrates that the fascial system responds to a question. The dynamic tools of Access Consciousness™ invite you to be in the question and tap into innate capacities to communicate with bodies. It is becoming more widely known and acknowledged that animals can play a big part in “healing” people and expanding their consciousness – during an ESSE Extravaganza 4-day class the participants have the possibility of receiving horses “working” on their body too. glennarice.com/esse

birdies, for example. Yet, if I am willing to accept it, those are the days where I can receive a lot of facilitation from my fellow beings. Horses and dogs are great mirrors. The sensitivity of horses is so great that when your energy changes, so too does how they act/interact with you. They can show us what is going on in our lives and where we are at with it. We can look into the mirror that they are holding up, or we can ignore it. It is always our choice. I can look at my family and ask questions of them and myself. Wow, Doll (my mare) doesn’t want to be near me tonight. What is that about? Hmm, am I cranky? Did something happen today that I have let upset me and am still letting upset me? Is it time to let that crankiness and upset go? Once I have the awareness, then I can do something about it. I started my Walking Tall program

am blessed to be surrounded by wonderful family – two-footed and four-footed. This is not a perfect television family. Sometimes it seems that I am living in a circus, especially around dinner time. There are horses anxious to come in from the paddock for dinner; dogs running around chasing birds and enjoying themselves. What is interesting is how I can be affected differently on different days by what is going on. Some days I go with the flow and have the space to allow everyone to be who and what they need to be – anxious, funny, affectionate etc. Then there are occasional days when I am small – in an energetic sense. On those days, antics that I would usually find joyful can become a trial and tribulation. I lack allowance of those around me. I might get upset with the dogs for barking loudly at the

when I realised how much facilitation I received from members of my fourlegged family – Doll in particular. I had complained to Doll on a few occasions about her dawdling on the walk from the stable block out to the paddock. One day whilst complaining, Doll suggested that I look at myself. So I took the time to ask myself what was really going on here. I realised that it actually wasn’t Doll dawdling going out to the paddock – it was myself. I was so busy thinking about this, that and the other, that I wasn’t actually present. Our animal friends can teach us so much about ourselves and life if we are willing to listen and receive what they are saying.

ANIMAL CONNECTION

DO ANIMALS HAVE A SENSE FOR WORDS KIM MORRISON

ssential oils are not just considered helpful to people anymore. Owners of domesticated animals are finding many positive outcomes using these potent plant extracts for them too. In fact many essential oils were tested on animals – way before they became popular in the early 1900s – mainly at first to see how effective they would be on humans. Interestingly as they progressed in their investigations, chemists and scientists colluded there were many physiological similarities with dogs and horses especially. We have to remember however, that animal systems are slightly different to humans so the way that they deal with, and interact with, essential oils requires care and varying methods of use. It is also important to allow animals to guide their own treatment using their own innate responses. You only have to look to nature to see how animals self-medicate, they know instinctively what to do and when. The same is said of their interaction with essential oils. So let their noses and reactions guide

aromatherapy you. One of the first things to consider in the health of your pet is to remove all synthetic, chemically-laden products, foods, plug-ins and shampoos. An animal’s sense of smell is also incredibly acute and many chemicals are harmful to their wellbeing. When an aromatic substance travels up the olfactory system over the mucous membrane it connects directly to the cortex and limbic regions of the brain invoking an instant response. Many modern medicines are administered this way – again because of the immediacy. Inhalation of essential oils make it one of the best and quickest methods of use for animals. Try 1 drop lavender and 1 drop peppermint rubbed into the palms of your hands and allow your dog to inhale the blend as a pep-up or to help ease motion sickness. Never force a remedy onto an animal and always allow space to move away if it needs to. Using a blend on your pet’s fur is a very effective way to help skin conditions, flea treatments and anxiety related issues. When applying essential oils topically, the oils will

directly enter into the body via the hair follicle. Here is a flea repellent blend to try: In 15ml of sweet almond or macadamia oil add 4 drops clary sage, 7 drops of peppermint, 3 drops lemon and 1 drop eucalyptus. Store in amber glass bottle and apply 2-4 drops topically to the neck, chest, legs and tail base of your precious pooch 2-3 times per week! You can use diffusers in your home to help calm and relax your pets. Aromatic spritzers can also be a wonderful way to help your pets as well as keep their bedding area fresh. Always take note of their reactions and let them be your guide. twenty8.com

SEE FEAR AS LACK, YOU WILL THEN KNOW THE NEXT STEP TO TAKE IN YOUR LIFE TOWARDS TRANSFORMATION.

Lack resides in the subconscious, weaving its limitations through all of our ideas and inspirations while poisoning our perceptions to even attempt something new. Lack has been taught to us, implanted in us, we have had experiences that have moulded this ‘lie’ into our belief system and then we universally call it ‘fear’. We keep the perception of this lack alive under the socially acceptable identity of FEAR. We all have fears, we all can relate and empathise. Fear of the unknown is a common statement and obstacle, so what if you changed that awareness to “lack of understanding or knowledge of what lies ahead”, not only does it soften the impact, it opens up the questions of what is possible, how can I assist myself to feel more comfortable, and what else do I need to know to keep

moving forward. The brain games of fear will change. If you recognise the signs of being ‘fearful’ when change is at hand, take a breath and ask yourself… where am I feeling lack around this next step, part of life, direction, evolution? Listen deeply, you just may uncover a ‘lie’ that has been governing your life and creating blocks to your expansive self. None of us are really in LACK, we have just been trained to believe it is true; to live and think like we are, which is actioned with every day unconscious habits. See fear as LACK, you will then know the next step to take in your life towards transformation. These times of revelation are about seeing the lies; the untruths that are running our sub-conscious, shifting them to align more with the sovereign beings that we truly are; souls in human form that have everything we need all the time, with the capability of creating what we need. Namaste RAELENE BYRNE is a renowned speaker, visionary, healer and writer who is a catalyst for change. raelenebyrne.com

Bringing deeper awareness of yourself as a woman and as a soul, this profound course will allow you to connect to the intrinsic nature of your being. THE CHANGE THIS CREATES IS IMMENSE: • Courageous choices made in alignment with your truth • Life seems less like a burden and more like an adventure

leaping off tall buildings; wondering if we can fly. It screams to us if something doesn’t feel right, so we can choose a different approach or action. That fear is a mechanism that keeps us out of danger; the fight or flight instinct which lives in all creatures.

The other fear that most of us deal with daily is really all about the perceptions of LACK we have within. When we get a great inspiration and we think about it too much, we start to see all the problems, then the ‘fear’ rises, you hear it in phrases like, “I don’t know enough”, “I am not good enough”, “I am scared of what might happen if I do such and such”.

• Expanded intuition and inner knowing • True intimacy with self You can take this journey in the comfort of your own home from anywhere in Australia or across the globe.

your body is something you would like to love? Do you know all the answers about what you should be doing to love yourself and your body? Have you been reading self-help books and women’s magazines for decades? What if I told you that you always compare yourself not only to the best version of yourself, and how you should be, but even worse, to the ideal woman? Therefore it’s not a surprise that to like ourselves or even to LOVE ourselves seems really hard! It is not a surprise either that we are never 100% happy with who we truly are. Take a moment to take a deep breath and ask yourself the question: What would it be like to be completely content with myself? Just sense what that would feel like. What would it look like? What would it be like? I bet it would be nice! Let me share a secret: It took me 41 years to start loving myself, to understand myself and to even take into consideration that I have a need to love and accept myself. Once I understood that, I knew I had to do this or I would never be completely happy with my life. I discovered Nia Movement, which really changed my life, learned more about my needs, emotionally, mentally, but also physically. I discovered my true

feelings and how to get my needs met in harmony within my relationships; not as an ongoing battle but as a beautiful dance. I learned about how men are not “hairy women” and how to communicate effectively. I learned again how to play and how amazingly transformational a community of like-minded honest women is. I also discovered that I just love sharing what I learned and helping women to experience what I have – to be in peace with yourself, to play, to love and to connect. There are several ways for you to start. You could take one of my Nia

Movement classes; and no, you don’t have to be a dancer, or coordinated, nor fit or slim or young, or even healthy. Dancing Through Life the Nia way is movement with pleasure. It is Nia’s prescription for enjoying life in a human body. It actively integrates healthy movements into every aspect of living, from mundane activities to the sublime. Dancing Through Life includes washing dishes, mowing the lawn, taking a test, making love. It is not about what you do, but how you feel when you do it – and your awareness of the sensations of life in a body. As you learn to Dance Through Life, your awareness will naturally grow. Awareness is one of the greatest gifts of living in a body. It is also a tool, one that empowers you to improve the way you move, to choose pleasure over pain, to live The Body’s Way. The conscious awareness that comes from Dancing Through Life teaches us to let go of the unconscious impulses that often rule our lives. We stop sleepwalking through our short stay on this earth and begin to wake up. Instead of being driven by habits, we begin to turn our responses into conscious, intentional actions. nianow.com

Tesla’s Starhenge

‘

What is Tesla’s Starhenge?’ For centuries people have travelled to the Great Pyramids to tap into the mystical energy that resides within the King’s Chamber. People have also travelled to Stonehenge in search of ancient knowledge within its boundaries. You can now experience this energy at Dimensionally Divine through the new Tesla’s Starhenge. ‘What does the Tesla’s Starhenge do?’ It provides an incredible experience of energy supporting you on all levels. This in turn can help you to remove the energy blockages that’s holding you back in many areas of your life. The beauty of the Tesla’s Starhenge is that it is non-invasive. It can be used to complement other forms of therapy, helping form a complete system of healing in its own right. The Tesla’s Starhenge seems to know what level to work with you on a physical, emotional or spiritual level. The aim of Tesla’s Starhenge is to isolate the factors preventing your

energy balance, prioritise them to assist with rebalancing you with the needed frequencies. You may find this helpful with balancing your energy and thought patterns that may be holding you back. When using the Tesla’s Starhenge there is no need for the input of a therapist or practitioner telling you what to do or how to work. This makes Tesla’s Starhenge very unique in the alternative healing world. For thousands of years the Chinese, Indians, Egyptians and many other cultures have talked about an energy system that exists within all of us. They also make references to a source of energy that exists external to us. These internal systems are often referred to as the Meridians, Chakras, Chi, etc… Today there is so much information to prove that we are made up of atoms and atoms are energy. The Tesla’s Starhenge works at a deep spiritual level by tapping into dimensions that are beyond the physical plane. You can find out how your energy

EXPERIENCING?

WORDS MAUREEN OWEN

o you long to let go of the limitations and self-doubts that hold you back? I have come to understand that not only does the answer to these questions lie within, the template for your soul’s evolution does as well. This template is called the chakra system. The chakras represent the different aspects of our being, and are a direct reflection of our spiritual state. They mirror how we feel about ourselves and life in general, and when we work with them, they provide an incredibly precise guide to how we uniquely function, emotionally, physically, psychologically, and spiritually. When we ascend through the chakras we are connecting to all the different parts of ourselves as we follow the alchemical path of the soul’s evolution. I have experienced the transformative power of this journey first hand, initially as a participant and

now as the facilitator of the “Empower and Awaken Chakra Course”. The most profound thing that I have gained from this journey is an expanded and enriched experience of being alive. It has enabled me to look at my life with fresh eyes and see beyond the delusions and conditioning that were limiting what was possible whilst learning how to stay connected to myself and deepen my relationship with myself. The delusions I found included: fear-based beliefs I had inherited about life; being able to see painful family dynamics that had locked in generations of destructive patterns for what they were; and then seeing how these beliefs have narrowed my appreciation and experience of pleasure in life. I also started to grasp why some things in my life had been so difficult to change and even more importantly, I started to see new choices that I had never considered even possible before.

This journey of ascension through the chakras is called the “Path of Liberation”. It’s about getting to know all the different dimensions of yourself and being able to see beyond the conditioning, the shoulds and the musts you have absorbed and were raised with. It’s about developing a relationship with yourself that is based on love and the sacred work of coming home to the centre of your being. It’s about owning your uniqueness, and then living from a place of love. You see everything comes back to our relationship with ourselves. So if you know there is more to life, than you are currently living and experiencing, then change is calling you. Will you dare to answer?

WORDS LYELL RECK

how to go about creating it. After a session with Jules O’Neill, the founder of Body Consciousness, it quickly became apparent that for me personally the thing that I was craving was connecting with other men on a deeper, more conscious level. Sure I love going out for some beers and a night on the town as much as the next guy, however, I had found through experience that this type of interaction was not really going to address my flailing excitement for life. I was searching for a space where men felt comfortable speaking openly and honestly, could provide awareness for each other in relation to their thinking and be inspired to pursue a life full of love and fulfilment. So began ‘The Conscious Man’. TCM events take on two formats: 1. SOCIAL OUTINGS with a focus on men connecting authentically in a relaxed, judgement-free environment (May 15 – indoor rock climbing).

fter striving for all of my 20s and early 30s to provide for my family, I reached the point where we had built our dream home and I held a comfortable management position in my employment. After being in this position for a couple of years I started to question if this was all there was to life i.e. working to pay off the mortgage. The passion and drive I had felt in striving to reach this point on my journey was sadly no longer present. In talking to other men, it quickly became apparent that I was not alone in what I was feeling. For a number of years I tried to recapture this zest for life by binge drinking with friends or travelling overseas. Whilst these pursuits would give me some temporary satisfaction, I couldn’t help but feel that I was missing something essential from my life. From this place of lack of fulfilment grew a desire to examine who I really was, what it was that fired me up and

EMOTIONS AND AWARENESS

THE DESTRUCTIVE ENERGY WORDS TONI REILLY

any world events which are discussed on social media recently highlighted to me an alarming flaw in behaviour. I stumbled across an article where an actress spoke out in her defense at being featured in a plus-sized edition of a prominent women’s magazine. Though I am barely familiar with this girl, I felt compelled to read through the comments; what struck me most was the collective energy being fed on that one forum, all directed towards this girl. It is not that different to the energy of gossip and drama. Here is a reminder of what we are actually amplifying when commenting. I’ll put it like this: Think about when we pray, when many people unite with the intention of a positive outcome for someone or something. We know there is immense power in collective well wishes. On the flip side; when many

of hate

people come together voicing opinions and casting judgment of a person or situation we create the very same power, only we are facilitating a collective build-up of hateful energy directed at one singular person. Put yourself in her shoes, and imagine being on the receiving end of that tremendous force. What if it was someone we cared about? The situation shifts to one of substance if the discussion turns to what could potentially be happening to this actress’ self-esteem. When personal self-worth gets hammered people may become anxious, nervous, self-conscious, sad or afraid and they may decide it is too difficult here and opt out or fall into hibernation or depression. Consider that for a moment. Prevention avoids intervention. If this actress has strong inner strength she will inspire others by sharing her plight, even though it does

not excuse those negative comments. In another unrelated article a Mother discovered her child was bullying another, so she bullied and humiliated her own child. How is that any better? I was reminded of the old saying “two wrongs don’t make a right”. This woman has reacted to avoid being judged as a parent who produces bullies or condones the behaviour; here’s the paradox, she is a bully. Judgment is natural, we all do it at times, however if we can become mindful by turning the scenario around to examine why we are reacting, we begin to behave with grace most of the time. The ripple effect then becomes kindness, empathy, compassion and tolerance for ourselves and others, how much nicer is that? Be kind. We all are the same at our core. #SoulLifePhilosophy tonireilly.com.au

EMOTIONS AND AWARENESS

coloured bottles CALLED ME

HOW THE BEAUTIFUL WORDS SAM SARGENT

ou could say that I fell in to the beauty of Aura-Soma® by accident. Or you could say that it was destiny. I say destiny… because when I was a little girl of about eight years of age my mum used to take me with her to get her legs waxed. Whilst she was getting de-fluffed, I would stare in wonder at a collection of coloured bottles on one of the tables in the room. I remember asking Janet (the therapist) what they were at the time as they captivated and amazed every little cell in my curious body. Fast forward 22 years, whilst living in the United States, and there I am face-to-face with these beautiful coloured bottles again at a Cosmoprof Beauty Expo. After a mini consultation with a lady named Sevi, I was once again left in wonder, continuing my curiosity of what they were and what I could learn about myself. It wasn’t so much Aura-Soma that I thought I was choosing, but more so a move to England to be with the most kind, hilariously funny and interesting

man (called Shaun) I had ever met, even though I wasn’t looking for love. Probably more accurate, would be to say that I was resisting love in every part of me, having had my heart somewhat shattered in a previous relationship. But it was my body and my being that knew that it desired to be by Shaun’s side. So I threw my thinking mind out the window and trusted that inner knowing. With Shaun being best friends with the custodian of Aura-Soma, living with, travelling and working with Mike Booth, I was suddenly on the fast train of selfdiscovery through colour. Whilst I have always been open to looking in the mirror to see the patterns of harmony and disharmony that I have created, jumping in to the deep end of all sorts of healing and consciousness practices, the Aura-Soma way is different. What I love most about Aura-Soma is the simplicity of it. As they say ‘you are the colours you choose, and these reflect your being’s needs.’ You can’t use up what you’re not. You can only use up what you are. These past five years I have worked

with, applied, and pondered bottle after bottle. And I am always surprised by what bottle and supporting pomanders, quintessences and colour essences jump out at me to take home and apply. What I’m even more amazed by is the profound, sometimes gentle, sometimes arresting effect these potent products have, as I apply them to my body and the auric energy surrounding me. I will always be eternally grateful for the wisdom that Mike has shared with me, his friendship that I treasure, the unforgettable laughs the three of us have had whilst travelling around the world, and the memories of living in the English countryside at the home of Aura-Soma, experiencing the seasonal changes on their Demeter-certified biodynamic farm. benaturallyyou.com

Insights

FROM THE

LITTLE ONES

WITH JEAN SHEEHAN, Principal – Millennium Education

“

Yes Josh, that snake is divine and yes its tummy is very red”. These were the words I said to my six-year-old son as he managed to capture and hold one of the deadliest snakes in Queensland, a red belly black snake! My heart was pumping, my head was wanting to yell ‘STOP! It is dangerous”, but my heart watched Josh as he connected with this stunning animal. The snake demanded respect and that is exactly what Josh did. He could sense its fear and regal ways and Josh was the one who taught me about this most feared creature. “Mum, he is frightened and just wants people to like him. He cannot understand why people are scared and then want to hurt him. “I am telling him it is OK and I am going to do energy healing on him as he has a sick tummy.” WOWSERS! The snake melted in to Josh’s tiny hands and knew it was not there to hurt him but there to speak for him and offer him unconditional love, as children do. When I watch children with animals, both have innate knowing that each

other is OK. Children do not show fear to animals unless they have been taught to do so from adults or TV shows. There is a divine connection between them. During sessions, many children have shared that they can talk to the animals. This does not surprise me as how does an animal talk? It is not through barking or meowing or chirping but telepathically. Young children have this gift too and are able to talk telepathically with animals. An animal will try to communicate something’s wrong when a child is sick or going to be unwell. This may be by pacing, whining or even by not leaving the child. Animals’ gift of connecting with higher wisdom is not

Millennium Children explainable for our limited human mind. If only we would really listen to animals and children as they do know things we don’t as adults. Josh is now 16 years old and still talks to animals. In the backyard the magpies will fly down on to his shoulder. My point in sharing this about my son is for you to be aware that children and animals growing up together create a dynamic team. They have the ability to share such deep wisdom that we forget as adults. All you need do is check in with a child and animal and they will give you the insight you need. Thank you Josh for teaching me. For Medical Intuitive courses or to learn about empowering your child contact JEAN SHEEHAN AbsoluteEmpowerment.com

horses, cats, which was so beautiful to see. So it stands to reason when there is a separation with a pet, the effects on some children may be harder than people realise. It is through my own experience working as a ThetaHealing Practitioner where this has become apparent to me. Many parents have come to me bringing their children with issues such as: anxieties, fears, OCD (and these are also seen in the adults) and in some circumstances when we have uncovered and healed the origins of the “condition” it has been due to the separation or loss of their beloved pet. It’s not always from when the pet has “passed over”, some simply have gone on holidays and been away from the animals for a period, at other times there may have been a divorce or it may be the parents had to give the animals up due to lack of finances or being unable to find a rental property which allowed them to have animals. In times of a relationship split, a lot of emphasis goes on the divorce or separation itself (which is totally understandable), but what else changed for the child in that time? It’s important to remember that some children are much closer with their pets

than other people. It may be the only one which the child fully opens up to, for them it is an unlimited access to unconditional love. Their best friend. Some of the belief programs which have been created from such times are, “Those I love, leave me”, resulting in abandonment issues, blocks which prevent love from another in, feelings of being unloved, unworthy and self-worth issues. The belief program of “Those I love, I leave behind”, create feelings of guilt and resentment for self. As children mature to adults, these beliefs may prevent them from having fulfilling relationships – avoiding commitment out of fear of hurting another, self blame – feeling it was all their fault. Some parents out of wanting to “protect” their kids have made up a story to “soften the blow” – which in some cases works, yet in others the child has been intuitive and has felt that they have been lied to, or the child has overheard stories about what really happened. This has then created distrust of the parent and establishing belief systems such as “you can trust no one”. Each person is so unique and deals with things personally in their own way. So you may have four children, maybe

just one will be affected in such a deep way. It may be something which is noticed through behavioural changes – not wanting to sleep alone, feeling unsafe, anxieties or perhaps they bottle it inside and it is something which will show up later in life. When it comes time for intimate relationships, they may find it hard to open up or to love or be loved completely. The best thing is to have open communication with your child around changes, allowing them to express how they feel, so they feel safe, important and loved. Where animals are taking on such stresses, it is also important that they are releasing them, it can be just as important for the animals to receive healing as it is for their owners, everyone deserves to have clear energy and love. The cool thing is, with a bit of work these “issues” can be resolved with ease in children, adults and animals. If they are having trouble processing the change it could perhaps be helpful to find a practitioner your child feels comfortable with to help them find resolve and move forward. Seeking help for your child, while they are young can benefit their future. evolvewitheta.com

3 STORIES OF

homœopathic treatment WORDS TIM ROBERTS

n today’s society there are so many distractions that take us away from being healthy. And when it comes to

decisions on what to do when we are sick, we tend to choose methods that we have always chosen because we are comfortable with those methods and confident they will aid us on the path to recovery. At the end of the day, we need to remember the best method of recovery is the one that works well, quickly and safely. There is a plethora of modalities

available to us for our health care, however we need to remember that only licensed health practitioners can give medical advice and we should always consider taking the advice of our local GP when considering what avenue of health maintenance and care is the right path for us to ensure that we get the best possible care available. As a homœopath I have been

4 steps to effectively deal with burn-out, depression, anxiety and lack of self-esteem and increase overall happiness and satisfaction in life. Mindfulness integrated Cognitive Behaviour (MiCBT) is an evidence based modality – with scientiﬁc backing – which will allow you to successfully deal with a broad range of life situations. To be Mindful means to be aware of what is happening to you, without being caught up in any of it. Once you master the easy-to-learn MiCBT techniques you will know how to control your thoughts and thought processes. This puts you in the driver seat of your personal and professional life.

fortunate to have been involved in many personal health journeys. Every day I consider myself so lucky to do what I do and witness the development of someone’s path to precision. Below I have detailed a few such cases that I have observed and how homœopathy has helped them come back to wellness. The names of the patients and exact personal details have been changed but the cases are real stories. These cases are meant to be seen as case studies only and not medical advice. A CASE OF ECZEMA: Jo was a five-year-old female who had suffered from debilitating eczema on her arms and legs for most of her life. She continually scratched herself until she bled and had to wear gloves to bed to stop her scratching herself uncontrollably at night. She had been on topical steroids since she was two years old and her parents were concerned in order to keep her eczema under control, a stronger dosage of topical steroids would be needed. After taking the case, a homœopathic dose of Calc Carb 30 was prescribed. The dose was given whilst in the consulting room and was taken home to be repeated daily. Over the next two weeks, Jo’s parents stayed in touch and the dosage was changed according to her condition.

During our next consultation her eczema had faded dramatically and had been confined mainly to her little fingers on her hands. She no longer had to wear gloves to bed as her itch had subsided dramatically. Jo continues her homœopathic treatment in conjunction with prescribed medication. A CASE OF ASTHMA: Ben was a 35-year-old male who had asthma since the age of five. On a recent consultation with his GP, and subsequent in-house testing, he discovered that he had the lung function of an 80-year-old. This was of obvious concern for him as he had followed doctors’ prescribed medication for the last 30 years. He felt he had to do something different. Once taking the case, and ensuring he not change his prescribed medication regime, two homœopathic medicines Ars Alb Q1 and Tub Bov Q1 were prescribed. Over the course of the next six months and changing potency and dosage of the two medicines, in conjunction with his GP, Ben was able to reduce his prescribed medication and improve his lung function results significantly. A CASE OF FOOD INTOLERANCE: Jeremy grew up on an organic fruit orchard. He loved fruit. It was only later

in life that for some reason, he developed a severe food intolerance to all fruit and sweet vegetables. If he ate a piece of fruit he would develop severe bloating, constipation and aching of extremities. Jeremy was devastated. Upon taking the case and patient history, it became apparent that earlier in his life he had several diseases that had not fully left his system, namely Ross River fever and dysentery. Using homœopathics we treated not just his existing condition but also those previous illnesses. Within three months, Jeremy’s symptoms had reduced significantly and he was now able to eat fruit and sweet potato without significant side effects. Obviously these cases were great success stories. The great thing about homœopathy is that the remedies work. They work whether or not you believe in them. As I have stated in previous articles, if you choose homœopathy as one of the avenues for your health care, choose a practitioner that has passed the guidelines set down by the Australian Register of Homœopaths (AROH.com. au). These practitioners have undergone the necessary training to be legally registered as a homœopath in Australia. organon.net.au

WHAT’S THE WORDS CATH MANUEL

difference BETWEEN

COMPOSTING AND WORM FARMS?

COMPOSTING SYSTEM Compost is decomposing organic matter. Composting is nature’s process of decomposition. Fully decomposed matter is called humus and it’s one of the most important things you can add to your garden and is the basis for all sustainable gardening. When setting up a compost system we add ‘ingredients’ in layers that break down to create soil. The breaking down process is done by micro-organisms in the earth, plus air and water. Composting creates rich healthy soil to add to the garden straight away and for top-ups. I prefer to use simple composting methods and build no-dig gardens, than buying in soil, as home-made soil has loads of nutrients and life in it, so you know what’s gone in and it’s cheaper and more sustainable. Set-up is quick and easy and compost bins can sit directly in the garden for maximum benefit. The benefits of a composting system: • Reduces waste • Creates a FREE garden resource

• Builds up soil level in gardens • It’s available as needed • It’s quick and easy to make • You can grow straight into it WORM SYSTEMS Worm systems are called Vermiculture and they are a system of keeping composting worms in a confined space and adding food scraps, and other ingredients, that they feed off. They actually feed on the bacteria from the decaying matter! The worms are quite sensitive to high acid food waste, so it’s advisable not to add onions or citrus to the worm farms. A little bit that may accidentally be added is ok, but not loads of the scraps! You can add most fruit and vegetable scraps, tea bags, some coffee grounds, tissues, office paper, receipts and they enjoy a dose of rotted manure too! Worm systems produce loads of worm poo and a brown liquid which are both fabulous soil enhancers and plant fertilisers.

The ‘house’ that the worms live in can be a small purchased ‘worm farm’; an old bathtub or a bucket with the base removed (called a worm tower) can be used to house 1000s of little workers! The worm poo, or castings as it’s also called, is great for adding to poor soil, used when planting seedlings, shrubs or trees and also to sow seeds into… it’s quite versatile! The liquid is a great liquid fertiliser and used on the foliage and soil around plants. The benefits of a worm system: • A great soil improver and fertiliser – adds vital nutrients for plants • The castings are used for sowing seeds and planting • Great to feed plants in pots and containers • Liquid is a great fertiliser on all plants – just wash edible plants before eating! • It’s an activator for the compost… it helps the ingredients break down! Consider having both systems as they have similar benefits but are used in different ways to help your garden thrive. soiltosupper.com

HERBAL PEELING

kin peeling or resurfacing is an important and time-proven procedure that supports cell renewal, regeneration and facilitates better penetration of active topical substances into the skin. Many options are available to the professional aesthetic therapist. The choice has increased greatly in the last few years with the introduction of high-tech modalities such as laser, light, needling, ultrasound and radio frequency devices. Peeling is also popular and it’s great when there are natural approaches that also work. Herbal peeling is one we will discuss here. Herbs contain an extensive mix of active ingredients that cannot be matched in a man-made preparation. These constituents become active in smallest concentrations of one-millionth of a gram. They offer a synergy that

cosmetic chemists cannot reproduce in their laboratories. The fact that the epidermis remains completely undamaged during the facial massage, and the fact that the skin peels only three or four days after the actual treatment shows that Herbal Aktiv Peel® is an “epidermal” peel. Yet the results, as recorded in numerous cases, are nothing short of astounding. There is another fundamental difference between chemical acids and Herbal Aktiv Peel®. Removal of one or more layers with acids will leave the skin vulnerable to external influences, with infection an ever-present threat. With Herbal Aktiv Peel®, the old skin stays in place whilst the new skin regenerates. The developing new skin is protected until it is ready to face the environment without ill effects. The uniqueness of Herbal Aktiv Peel® is that it provides an effective,

progressive and thorough exfoliation of dead cells that contribute to the appearance of dull and ageing skin. This process is further supported by the introduction of a unique blend of nutrient rich herbs that provide antibacterial, anti-oxidant and regenerating benefits. These protect, strengthen and support the integrity of the skin. They improve its clarity and appearance, and help us reach our ultimate objective – a successful result of healthy looking skin. Herbal Aktiv Peel® is an effective method to achieve glowing skin in just five days. Your skin will be noticeably firmer, renewed and revitalised. It’s ideal for: pigmentation, superficial lines, sun damage, enlarged pores, congestion, scarring, redness, anti-ageing, acne. Why not avoid dry and dehydrated skin this winter! ibuki.com.au

using our products notice their wrinkles are reduced and this is because as soon as your skin softens, lines are less noticeable,” said founder of MiSMo, Irene McDonald. Diagnosed with Rosacea at 40, the creator of MiSMo Body Care, Irene McDonald, began her journey in finding skin care that did not irritate or exacerbate her skin condition. Failing to find any products that she could use, she began to research and create her own skin preparations which have since evolved into the beautiful range it is today. “What started as a mission to help alleviate symptoms of Rosacea has grown into a range that has proven itself in the areas of anti-ageing, sensitive, sun-damaged and normal skin care use. MiSMo products are formulated for quality not price,” said Ms McDonald. One of the best sellers in the range is the A-C-E Vitamin C Serum. For skins

t’s not every day that a natural skin care range actually delivers on their promises – to improve skin texture, tone and elasticity. The innovative MiSMo Body Care range uses handpicked ingredients that work in synergy to produce visible results very quickly. These results are clearly a testament to the ingredients used, one of which, is their star ingredient, MSM (Methyl Sulfonyl Methane) also known as the “beauty mineral”. MSM is a source of organic sulphur, and offers wonderful benefits to the skin. It keeps complexions clear and youthful, through its synthesis of collagen and its ability to enhance tissue pliability, which encourages the repair of damaged skin and is highly beneficial in calming any inflamed problematic skin conditions. “MSM tends to help all skin conditions from a cellular level, which means it normalises damaged cells and brings them back to health. People

that are dry or have enjoyed a little too much of the summer sun, the serum offers a powerful anti-oxidant and antiageing treatment for the face. MiSMo has perfected this blend by pairing it with the right combination of Vitamins C, A and E and Jojoba Oil to create a serum that delivers results. The serum is also an excellent treatment for Rosacea due to its ability to strengthen facial capillaries and helps to reduce facial redness. The serum is a fragrance-free, light oil which absorbs quickly using antioxidants that are essential to protecting the face from sun, wind and UV rays. For best results the A-C-E Vitamin C Serum should be used after cleansing and can be finished with a moisturiser. Continuous innovation of the MiSMo range has also led to natural pain relief products, which again feature MSM. mismo.com.au

BOOK: (now an International Best Seller)

Salon des Femmes

AUTHOR Miriam Young, Medical Herbalist

AUTHOR Gary Douglas

Any type of detoxification program is beneficial, but within the pages of this book, you will find all the details you need to carry out specific organ detoxification programs which have the power to shift stubborn health conditions and to boost your overall health and well-being. Eliminate: lethargy, weight-gain, kidney stones, gall stones, chronic illness and premature ageing. Contained within these pages are the Ultimate Detoxification Programs. Without total health, nothing else in our lives can flow, yet, every single day, toxic substances are absorbed into our bodies through the food we eat, the water we drink, the air we breathe, and even through our chosen household products. Written by Miriam Young a qualified medical herbalist, this book guides you through the whole process so that you can accelerate the healing process and re-energise your body. It’s a comprehensive read, giving a unique insight into so many areas of health and includes vital tips for getting your health back on track.

The Salon des Femmes book is based on a series of tele classes Gary Douglas held with a group of women. The book is an easy-to-read format and challenges the stereotypical roles of women and men and offers the potential to create more space to be YOU. This book not only creates new, empowering ways to move forward, it provides clearings throughout the book which then allows you to change your life with practical tools. It’s a unique and refreshing read and has the potential to create harmony between women and also between women and men.
