follow your bliss! healing crises, oh and the concoctions… every colour of the rainbow in fact and some of them didn’t smell too flash but it was all in the name of being free and living a full life being ‘me’. When I look back, no matter how many raised eyebrows I received from others, I wouldn’t go back and erase any of these experiences as they have all contributed to who I am today. It’s not all about doing the ‘Big,mega, intense stuff ’ sometimes some of the most profound change can come from gentle and subtle processes too. As Dominique Finney (on the cover this month) says a detox can be about just giving up one habit or adding something to your day that helps with breathing in more life and balancing the mind, body and soul. Thanks Dominique for sharing your wisdom and congratulations on being voted herbalist of the year in Australia!!

s it really November already? Not sure where this year has gone and can’t believe we are working on our Dec/Jan edition now!! So before the festive season is upon us I thought we’d get cracking on some spring detoxing – cos you know, trying to make lifestyle changes during the festive season is not easy. So this month we have some experts in the field of detox giving you some quick tips and also our other writers talking about detox from a different perspective! There’s so much I could say about my own detox experiences but I’ll keep it brief. Since about the age of 24 I have had periods of juicing, I’ve had phases of being a very strict vego, I’ve had cathartic releases aided by pillow whacking, I’ve cried through many

Happy November Detoxing!!!

Tumeric By Vicki Taylor

urmeric is known as the king of spices because it is more than just a spice. It is related to the ginger family but has a completely different taste with a very earthy flavour with bright yellow/orange flesh. Don’t just limit using turmeric to your curries though. Add it to all your savoury spice blends, meat rubs, pasta dishes, tagines/casseroles, marinades, dressings, dips and even soups! Why not use some fresh turmeric in juices, as you would ginger. Turmeric has powerful antiinflammatory, antioxidant and antibacterial properties. Your liver loves turmeric so try and get into the habit of having it daily as it helps with detoxification. Your body will love you for introducing turmeric into your diet daily. There are now turmeric supplements available to take if you can’t get your hands on any fresh or powdered Turmeric or, simply visit your local spice merchant! www.redhotchillipepper.com.au

Raw Nori Rolls

Add pine nuts and process some more.

By Kristine Matheson

Serves 2

FOOD FOR THE SOUL

Ingredients: 2 nori sheets 1 avocado f nely sliced 1 f nely sliced small red onion 1 f nely sliced roma tomato Handful julienne carrots Handful julienne zucchinis 1 piece of ginger f nely grated Heaps of sprouts Parsnip rice – see recipe

To assemble: Place nori sheets shiny side down on a clean cutting board and/or bamboo mat. Spoon a generous rice mixture on the sheets and spread evenly across a third of it, leaving a 1 inch space at the bottom edge. Load up all the remaining vegetable, sprouts onto each sheet and fold from the bottom of the sheet up using the bamboo mat or your f ngers – I personally get a better result using my f ngers.

Parsnip rice: 2 cups peeled and roughly chopped parsnip 1 /8 cup macadamias 3 tbsp pine nuts ½ tbsp olive oil ½ tsp lemon juice ½ tsp Celtic or Himalayan salt 1 tsp white miso

Wet the top of the nori sheet with a little water to seal the roll,and then cut into two.

FOOD FOR THE SOUL

By Chris Klaas

he food we eat is a reflection of the choices we make and how we use style and creativity with food also tells a story about our lives. I focus on simple plating and propping of food to make beautiful photos without resorting to tricks that render the food inedible. I believe in authentic food and am enthusiastic about where food comes from. We live in the real world, and to me that means cooking and preparing real food that is sustainable and accessible to everyone. My food photography follows on from that philosophy, meaning that much of what I prepare, style and shoot, is the type of dish that you can prepare at home. I am passionate about where the food is grown, how it was grown, the food miles involved, the producers and, of course, how it is cooked or prepared. By engaging in the narrative of where our food comes from and how it arrives on our plate, we make ourselves a part of that experience. Having a family that loved coming together for shared meals, I learnt how to cook early in life. After school I

undertook an apprenticeship as a chef. This was the beginning of a lifelong love. After my apprenticeship I worked as a chef while studying photography at university. Becoming a chef allowed me to travel in Australia and around the world, cooking at many restaurants and with many different chefs. I gained experience in a wide variety of cooking styles which ignited my passion for exotic flavours. I think we’re really lucky to have such a broad palette of cuisines in Australia, particularly in the last 20 years as we have come of age and many different cultures have helped shape our taste. My time spent travelling was a revelation. Meeting chefs and farmers in regional and rural areas that were so passionate about their culture and the history of their food. It brought home to me the importance of our food culture in Australia, in regards to both sustainability and nutritional value, and made me think about how I could make a difference. After returning to Australia and living in Brisbane for a time, my partner and I decided we would move somewhere less

hectic, closer to the coast and the source of food production. The Sunshine Coast was where we decided to call home. I made the decision to combine my passion and knowledge of photography and food. My aim when photographing food is to convey the old adage; ‘food for the soul’. Food nourishes us and reminds us of family and time spent together. I love cooking food, talking about food, growing food in my garden and teaching others about the art of food. It is my life vocation. I am really excited to offer food styling and photography workshops on the Sunshine Coast beginning in November. My aim is teach others how to prepare and shoot mouth watering dishes, and make them look fresh, tempting and delicious. www.klaascreative.com.au

Detox in business and in life! By Sue Joseph, Owner of Daisy’s Place and Bassett Barks

etox – wooooooooooooooooooo do I want to? Do I NOT? – mmmmmmmmmm, uuummmmmmm, Ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh to even write about this is taking me to so many different places and there are many ways to detox. But what does it mean to detox? I feel it’s about getting rid of the old and bringing in the new. It’s about releasing ourselves from what has been and becoming ready for the new that is about to come into our lives. On a personal level, I love cold showers (even through winter) and I find these are a perfect way to clear the energy and also to connect to and balance mind, body and soul. I also enjoy reading as a way of detoxing from my surroundings. We have so much available to us on this planet and so much to choose from – there really are many places, foods, medicines, herbs, healers, helpers, books, movies, theories and we also

have our own wisdom! And we live in a time and a place where many of us are able to try many of these – some have costs and some are just free and simple. I have this saying, “easy to go in, a lot harder to come out”. It seems to be that this works for everything – food or the information that is available. The easy way is ‘going in’ and operating without being fully conscious about what we are doing – and ooooooowwwwwwww then what ‘comes out’ at the other end – that seems to be where it catches up with us. Lucky though that I worked out what is true for me many moons ago – I could not even begin to know what or where I would be now if I had not. I always admire people that have set themselves on the path to freedom – to get rid of the non love in their life on all levels – A gift we all should give ourselves and the ultimate detox! Visit the brand new website at: www.daisysplace.com.au

DETOX MIND, BODY By Vanessa Finnigan

hile most young people in the 80s were out partying and ingesting toxins, Dominique Finney (in her late teens) was experimenting with water and juice fasts and having cosmic conversations! Years later, Dominique is an internationally acclaimed author and medical herbalist who has just been voted ‘herbalist of the year’ in Australia by the National Herbalists Association of Australia (NHAA). I recently met up with Dominique in Noosa but to my surprise she did not ask me to poke out my tongue, nor did she look in my eyes with a magnifying glass or hold my pulse, phew! In fact Dominique’s approach is as intuitive as it is scientific!

What is detoxing and what are the benef ts? Dominique says detoxing is very individual and essential! “There is no doubt in my mind that all of us have to balance our environments, our mind, emotions, our physical body and spiritual practices and create that balance. Detoxing to me is about letting go and not being attached to specific parts of yourself. It’s about breaking habits, changing the way you view things or altering a practice – and that’s very personal,” she says. Detox is not just about going on a strict diet. For example a ‘mind detox’ may be learning to keep your mind still, learning to focus and learning the process of completion on tasks. Or you may go from smoking one packet of cigarettes to half a packet. Even 40 days of being grateful is a detox! Dominique recommends taking small steps before getting really strict with your body, “that’s when you start looking at digestive detoxifications and as a naturopath, nutritionist and herbalist I love that side of detoxing,” she says. After years of experience and research Dominique believes: when you don’t have toxic foods in your diet, when you have a sodium/potassium balance in your body that’s perfect on a cellular level, when your acid/alkalinity is sitting nicely in 12

AND SOUL!

Dom’s Detox Tips Dominique’s written about every possible detox you can physically undertake in her internationally acclaimed book the ‘Wellness Zone’. But water and Vitamin C are Dominique’s top two detox tools – Vit C works on the liver and it’s a super antioxidant and it sweeps toxins faster through your body than anything else. Dominique recommends Vitamin C therapy for a range of ailments. She says interestingly lemons are acidic but it creates alkalinity in the body and she uses lemon and honey for everyone and everything and says it’s very cleansing. Milk thistle is the quintessential detox herb. But Dominique says you don’t necessarily need to take herbal medicine in order to detox, although herbs potentiate the results and protect your body through a detox. She believes people know intrinsically what they need and what’s going to work for them and people are very educated these days and she likes to discuss the research with them. She supports the medical system

with their tools for diagnosis and doesn’t use naturopathic diagnostic tools in her work. Dominique says don’t detox if you are pregnant or if you are taking prescription or illicit drugs (make sure you are supervised if you have chronic or serious health conditions or are wanting to come off or reduce medications). Dominique says you can take time off to detox or do mini weekend detoxing which fits around the working week and you can do it from the comfort of your own home.

What’s important to Dominique? “I eat clean food from local producers, we haven’t had a TV for 10 years, I live in the mountains and we have our own water. I only have one day a week where I’m committed to a set place (at Eumundi Markets where I offer a free clinic and sell herbal medicines that I manufacture), every other day I have a flexible work schedule, I write and I follow my interests. I eat as close to the earth as possible, we operate a certified organic farm, I don’t use anything on my skin other than what I make myself and I buy soaps from people I know locally. I’ve been fanatical at times in my life but these days it’s about the thought process involved. Following the food back to the source is more important and the consciousness involved is what’s important to me. I have almost finished my masters in public health and health promotion and I practice yoga every day and I am studying to be a Kundalini yoga teacher at the first level. I have a stable relationship with my husband and three children after 30 years of being married. I look after myself on all levels.

I run a project in India through our lip balm project, where we support six villages and we are paying for a homeopath, medicines, a mid wife and a nurse to support the six villages just through the sale of our $6 lip balms. “I would love to see everyone work together for the common good. For the alternative ways to blend harmoniously with the orthodox ways. And a professional respect created between the different beliefs, educational, spiritual, physical and emotional status of practitioners, with the governing bodies recognising these differences, allowing medicine and science to grow to its true potential. Eliminating the greed and fulfilling the planet’s medical needs. Together we grow.” Dominique will release her new book next month called ‘Kitchen Witchen’ which is all about food as medicine with plenty of yummy recipes and research on the active constituents of fruits, veggies and herbs. The official book launch will be at the Blue Lotus Venue on the 28th Dec at Woodford Folk Festival for more information visit:www.medicineroom.net Photos Adori Studios

your body, when you haven’t got putrification throughout your digestive tract, when you’re not suffering ailments caused from bad digestion of foods or get headaches because of structural or muscular placement, then you are on your way to a long healthy life. She says, “You detox to feel better, you detox for a reason. You’re not going to feel better unless you have a clean mind, clean body, clean spirit and clean emotions.” Dominique comments that an holistic approach is important… there is no point drinking carrot juice if you keep brawling with your partner or creating negativity every day. She says when you do something intensive like a juice or water fast, there is a lot of letting go occurring on an emotional, mental and spiritual level. “I’m not interested in just working on one level, intensive detoxing is all encompassing and we are encompassing beings and we don’t realise our potential; we are boundless.”

Detox with Essences By Jean Sheehan, Principal – Millennium Education

nvisage being able to detox and clear any emotional, physical and mental anguish or issues by using ancient remedies that are subtle, effective and permanent. Detoxing includes all aspects of life as they are entwined together affecting each other. For thousands of years, the indigenous population of many countries and cultures have been able to utilise the core essences of plants, the earth, flowers and crystals to create remedies that work on the mind, body and spirit. The Australian aborigines connected with the land and the healing property to create ‘medicine’ that was effective and transformational. The way essences work relates to quantum physics and the signature of the object. If you look at the signature of the sunshine wattle flower – it looks like a ray of sunshine, bursting with optimism. The golden yellow feels like opportunity and a positive future… And that is exactly how this flower as an essence can assist. These proven and fast acting essences are remedies which are catalysts to unlock your full potential, resolve negative beliefs and bring about harmony. The purpose of the essences is to assist in clearing blocks that stop you getting in touch with your true self and your life purpose. Imagine having courage, enthusiasm and strength to purse your dreams and goals? Essences resolve drama and

distress by flooding your core being with positive virtues such as joy, faith, courage and more. You will be left with a sense of peace and harmony. Bruce was having radiation therapy for his cancer and he needed something to help with all the toxicity in his body. He used the beautiful Mulla Mulla flower essence which assisted the effects of fire, radiation and burning. His body no longer held on to the toxins and he was able to feel better on all levels. He also noticed that he was not as angry any more either. Jason was a five year old boy who was sickly all the time with colds and ‘snotty’ noses. His body could not detox his ‘over thinking’ through the lymphatic system and Jason’s body tried to do this through repeat colds. After having Bush Iris flower essence he was ‘cold/snot’ free and his sinuses cleared permanently. Annie wanted clarity about what she needed to do in her career and this was creating headaches for her. She has a Clear Quartz crystal essence and the Silver Princess flower essence to get her on her life purpose. Imagine letting go, clearing limitations and living life to your full potential with confidence. Essences can do this for you-detoxing made easy!

s we free-fall toward the end of this year, towards Christmas obligations, pressures, the day our planet crosses the Galactic equator, signified by the end of the Mayan calendar, we are being shaken, shuddered and pushed to clear out, detox, purify and lighten up on all and every level of life. Cleaning up our diets, clearing out the places we work and live in, letting go of things that no longer serve us emotionally, mentally choosing positive thoughts to create the world we desire as our surroundings, speaking out against government and corporate decisions that are affecting our planet, is all part of a personal and global detox that is building momentum right now. While sitting on Mt Shasta I was reminded about the absolute importance in these times of holding our own personal vibration, as precious and powerful as it is. When anyone in our life is suffering, in distress, trauma, chaos, many of us

wish to fix, repair, take it on, and do something to help another person we care about. Often when this occurs, we lose part of ourselves to the other person’s energy field. We can easily go down with them, take on the emotions, or their dramas can become part of our life, as we are constantly concerned, thinking about it and conversing about it. This ‘drains the life force’ or personal vibration, leaving us feeling unclear and often ‘toxic’. What if all we had to do (in complete compassion, respect and reverence), was to allow those people to completely own their experience? This in itself allows another to experience the part of their learning, growth, expansion of what they have chosen, not by trying to fix, but simply by holding your personal vibration as it is. The person in the drama of their life is then in a space where they have the opportunity to raise their energy to meet the one that you are holding as pure support.

It isn’t about being cold, unemotional, or aloof, it is however all about honouring the process that another has chosen for themselves as their evolution. How do we do this? You have to KNOW yourself on all levels. The journey of self-knowledge is an organic detox program that we have built into us. The more we look into ourselves, the deeper we investigate our feelings, and the more contemplation we have around our beliefs and patterns of behaviour. The clearer we get on what makes us tick, what creates a sense of toxicity and what weighs us down, the sooner we can release what is no longer working, allowing the journey of living from the truth of the heart to begin. Once we engage in this, we raise our personal vibration which allows us to navigate our life with clarity, radiance, personal power and joy.

THE NATURAL 24-HOUR DETOX By Jost Sauer

he festive season often launches a detox / re-tox cycle, in which we overindulge in various substances such as sugar, processed foods, alcohol, drugs or cigarettes, but then feel grubby and want to detox or cleanse in the new year. This is usually followed by another slow ‘re-tox’ and the process starts again. But this yoyo detox lifestyle is not good for your organs, as going from one extreme to another creates toxic overload. It is not necessary either as we all have a natural 24 hour detox available every day. Make small sustainable lifestyle changes daily instead. For example, every morning between 5am and 7am, the universe and your body are working together to cleanse toxins built-up from substances, stress, overwork, negative emotions, pollution and other things, which make you feel stagnant, bloated, negative, emotionally weak and irritable. So, get up as close to 5 as possible, exercise, do your yoga or tai-

chi and meditate, and actively support the natural detox. You’ll feel the breath of a new start. Between 7am and 9am when your energy is in your stomach, eat a nutritious breakfast. The universal forces are supporting digestion, so take advantage of this and have something wholesome that can be processed into fuel for your day. Avoid the ‘toxic-bomb’ of sugary processed foods, wheat and coffee. Be highly active until 1pm. Move, achieve and do things, because beneficial stress right now moves stagnant energy. After 1pm slow down, your energy moves to your heart, so eat nutritious foods for lunch. Take a few moments to get in touch with your soul, rather than thinking about stressful things. Then work on less critical tasks and finish at 5pm or by 7pm at the latest. You need time to switch off and be asleep by 11pm so that the second major natural detox of the 24-hour cycle, the Liver and Gallbladder cleansing, can get underway from now until 3am. If you stay up late, watching TV, working or trying to just have some time for yourself, you’ll miss the liver cleanse and wake-up with a toxic overload. If you

can’t get going, miss the 5am-7am detox, then feel you can’t face eating wholesome food, you snack instead and need caffeine for a boost. By the time you do get going, usually around lunchtime, you can’t afford to sit back, and end up feeling like you are always out of time. You stay up late again to catch-up, miss the overnight detox and the next day feels slightly worse. We are not designed to live this way. It is unsustainable and creates symptoms such as fatigue, depression, bloating, irritability, itchy skin, anxiety and insomnia. 2013 is the beginning of the new. Try the 24-hour detox as many times as possible before Xmas as part of your plan for a sustainable future. You’ll gain time, feel better, look better and get an inner glow that will make your Xmas lights look dull!

he human body was designed to live far longer than the average lifespan today, enjoying much higher energy levels and a greater degree of wellness than most could even imagine. Centuries of debasing habits, the destruction of natural resources and the wide spread use of chemicals have accelerated genetic decline. Earth is contaminated. Every human is contaminated. Babies are contaminated before birth. Contamination continues throughout life increasing the rate of chronic illness and mortality. Yet, in spite of this shocking situation, our bodies employ an amazing security system to protect us from toxins, and a powerful elimination system to expel them if they breach our defences. Through poor lifestyle habits many fail to support their security system. Elimination systems are often overtaxed, starved of proper nutrition and weakened through lack of exercise and hydration, leaving them clogged and ineffective. For wellness and longevity we need to regularly cleanse out the system, strengthen the security forces and

18.indd 1

establish a toxic-minimised environment and lifestyle that will protect the body from further invasion. Toxins create an acid environment and thereby produce a deadly cycle whereby they themselves become more toxic, more reactive and more acidic. This cycle must be dealt with before toxins can be mobilised. The correction of the pH of body fluids is essential. This can be achieved using organic anions such as bicarbonates, citrates, malates and lactates. Lemons, limes or apple cider vinegar will indirectly stimulate the pancreas to produce bicarbonate. Lactates found in sauerkraut or cultured dairy foods will also reduce acidity. Superfoods such as Green Barley, Wheat Grass, Maca and Bee Pollen are all alkaline. With the acid problem corrected, toxins can be mobilised. Fat soluble toxins are generally stored in fatty tissue. The process to eliminate them is achieved by mobilising fat stores in the body. This can be effected by controlled fasting (under the supervision of experienced professionals) and dietary changes. An

increase in protein and a reduction in carbohydrates will cause the body to burn fat. Daily doses of coconut oil will also effectively mobilise fat stores. Once mobilised, these poisons must be broken into smaller particles, converted into water soluble toxins, neutralised and finally eliminated. As they break up they become more toxic. However they can be rendered harmless by attaching themselves to nutrients such as amino acids and antioxidants. The key to effective detoxification is found in the balance between these two processes. The breaking up of toxins needs to be slowed down by reducing the toxic load and by ingesting inhibitors such as turmeric, watercress, echinacea, kava, and garlic. Preparation for elimination can be enhanced by increasing protein (particularly organic eggs), taking antioxidants, zinc and phyto nutrients. Once balance is achieved and toxins neutralised, they can be effectively eliminated by stimulating the bowels, skin, kidneys and lungs. www.lvs.com.au

Grow Your Own

Detox Garden

By Cath Manuel

e all know the benefits of a healthy body and mind. I think the best way to feed our healthy body is with organic, home grown food. It not only tastes great, but it’s better for our bodies and the environment. To help to detoxify our bodies we drink lemons, limes, green foods and also raw veggies and herbs. All these things can be grown really well in our backyards. Lemons and limes, including all citrus trees, grow beautifully in our climate. They are lovely green leafy trees that produce sweet, juicy fruit most of the year. Picking fruit fresh from a tree to juice and drink is so enjoyable and also contains many vitamins that are going straight to our bodies, no transporting, no chemicals, just fresh, vitamin packed juice. Growing leafy greens and other herbs and veggies has so many benefits. There’s no food miles, just a relaxing walk into the garden, there are plenty of savings (as home grown food costs less) and also the big bonus is the food is grown organically, without the use of chemicals and synthetic products. So it’s great for assisting detoxification too! Growing fresh herbs and vegetables is the quickest, easiest and cheapest way to have fresh produce available whenever you need it and you’ll know that it’s the best food that you’re giving your body. www.soiltosupper.com.au

Stand in your Power! By Jeannine Stephens

“

Maria had become truly disempowered and finally through exhaustion, had to quit her job. She had opened her home to relatives, who showed no sign of leaving. So while everyone else worked and saved, Rachel cooked, cleaned, washed, ironed, feeling unappreciated and overwhelmed with criticism, tension and resentment”. A Feng Shui analysis showed the Qi coming through the front door was negative, implying going backwards financially, with slander or gossip. Maria’s bedroom was activating adverse Qi for health, relationships, conflict and arguments. Consequently, the entrance was changed to a side door to access ‘Authority, Power and Fame’ Qi and the bedroom and main door Qi was remedied. Within 21 days Maria began re-establishing her power, speaking her truth. Within 3 months Maria and her husband were living on their own. Maria’s physical energy returned, being true to herself without guilt, and gently standing in her power. They moved into an auspicious Qi bedroom, and Maria has a new job, a new car and finances significantly improved. Through activating auspicious Qi, Maria was supported in accessing her power, which led her to greater insight, health, wealth and peace.

Don’t Be the

STUFFED TURKEY

This Holiday Season

By Donnielle Carter

he holidays are nearly upon us. And you know what that means…presents, fun and food: lots and lots of food. It has become a holiday tradition to stuff our bodies full of the yummy goodies that constantly surround us during the holidays to the point of getting sick. We tell ourselves that we deserve it. That it’s only once a year so go ahead. But what if there was another choice? What if you could eat everything you and your body desired yet not have the typical feeling of sickness, weightiness and fullness? What if you could start that process now and so after the holidays you could feel better than when they started? How would this be possible you ask? Simple, ask your body what food it wants to eat, when it wants to eat and how much it wants to eat? What? Ask your body what it wants? Aren’t you the one who is supposed to know better? If every molecule of this universe has a consciousness then why wouldn’t your body have a consciousness of its own too? And what if listening to that consciousness can enable you to not only survive but thrive during the holidays? And what if it’s our judgments of what we expect the tasty treats to do to our body that is really creating those sick feelings, not the actual food itself? You say,

“I know when I eat this that it’s going to make me sick. But it’s Christmas so I’ll do it anyway.” And how do you and your body feel after that? It feels sick, just like you judged it would. Isn’t that amazing? You got what you expected. What if there was another choice? What if you asked your body? Generally when you ask your body if it wants something and it makes you feel light it is a yes and if it makes you feel heavy than it’s a no. So next time instead of gobbling down the treat without thinking about it ask, “Body, would you like to eat this?” If you feel light then your body would like to eat it. If you are giving your body what it is asking for, then is there any reason to judge the food that you are eating? Might that create a different result for you and your body this holiday season? What if thriving this holiday season could be as easy as asking your body what it wants to eat? Try it; you might be surprised at what yummy things your body asks for. What have you got to lose? That overstuffed sick feeling? What else is possible? To contact Donnielle or learn more about Right Body for You go to www.AccessTheMagic.com or www.Body.AccessConsciousness.com

Detox solutions

that Work!

By Gosia Kuszewski, ND

Detoxification is the best method to get to the true cause by removing toxins causing inflammation, congestion, and cellular damage leading to tissue failure. Toxins such as pesticides, chemicals and heavy metals are making our system acidic, congested and deprived of oxygen. Detoxification is the pillar of health and vitality. Our body is a living, conscious machine. It has a capacity to rebuild itself after surgeries, major wounds and cuts, so why not support that process and let it do its job without interfering with a natural process of regeneration and rebuilding? Proper detoxification can clean the obstructions and irritants allowing proper digestion, absorption, utilisation of nutrients and elimination. Detoxification is the only way to establish a true homeostasis within the body. It is a necessary response to the consumption of toxic and congestive foods that have clogged and obstructed our systems. The body naturally is always trying to keep itself clean through sweating, frequent urination, colds, flu

oday most people focus on just treating the symptoms of disease or illness. We are blindly taking painkillers, anti-inflammatory drugs or antidepressants, numbing the pain without realising that our health problem is only increasing. If we only treat the symptoms then we can only control or temporary eliminate our problems. The body is asking for our attention by showing us signs, but often we ignore it. Diseases are nothing more than signs and symptoms that reflect the body’s need to clean and rebuild itself. So often in my clinic I see patients taking multitudes of different drugs yet still suffering from a variety of health issues. What I’ve learned in my 15 years of successfully treating patients is that the best way to correct the health issues is to get to the root of the problem and clean the system. When you correct the cause of the problem, the symptoms will automatically go away.

and by simple daily elimination. However, we are consuming on a daily basis excessive amounts of acid forming foods such as grains, meats, dairy products, alcohol, sugar and processed foods. This overload is causing nutrients and blood cells to stick together leading to cell starvation as the nutrients are unavailable to the cells. Another effect of acidosis is dehydration and oxygen deprivation. Acidosis always equals pain, swelling and inflammation. Don’t know about you, but to me it makes perfect sense to correct that unhealthy acidic state and remove all the congestion, letting the blood flow freely delivering oxygen and nutrients to the cells. Only then can the body rebuild itself and regenerate, bringing vitality and restoring energy again. It is very important to educate yourself about the foods you are eating and pay attention to what your body is saying. Always ask yourself, what could be a cause of that problem and focus on that.

The secret language of your body – Signs your body needs to Detox By Stacey Foat

iving a truly healthy life goes beyond fuelling your body with nutritious food, energizing the muscles with regular exercise and nourishing the cells with water. It’s also about knowing when you are feeling out of balance and recognising when you need a detox! Take a minute to observe. Our bodies have a very specific way of communicating – if you experience any of the following signs there’s a good chance that’s your body screaming, “It’s time for some self-care!” Tongue: a white/yellowish coating on your tongue; eyes: sore, red, itchy eyes dark rings, ‘bags’ under your eyes; skin irritations: eczema, hives, urticaria, acne, heat rash; liver roll: also known as the spare tyre; excessive body heat: flushed face or red palms and soles of your feet; headaches; body odour; bad breath; flatulence or foul smelling stools bowels: constipation, dry, hard, pellety stools or greasy, sticky stools; digestive disturbances: bloating, or cramps,

especially after eating; mood and emotional well-being: irritability, depression hormonal imbalances; irregular or painful heavy periods. There is no ‘one detox fits all’, so a trained professional like myself will assess the degree of toxicity in your system and design a program that will best suit your body. Detoxif cation and the ‘Healing Crisis’ It is believed that a ‘Healing crisis’ occurs when the body is moving from a diseased state to a state of wellbeing. The presentation of the condition can often get worse temporarily as the body undergoes this healing transition. When the Detoxification begins, waste products and toxic metabolites are removed from the body at a much faster rate, exposing your cells to higher levels of free radicals, inflammatory mediators and chemicals, which if not eliminated effectively can irritate and damaging your tissues. It is important to support this process by flooding the body with plenty of water, antioxidants, anti-inflammatory herbs and nutrients and ensure all channels of

elimination are open and working effectively, otherwise these toxins will circulate through the blood and be reabsorbed, creating more damage in the tissues leading to the perceived healing crisis or side effects of a poorly executed detoxification program. DYI Detox tips • Eat fresh, organic vegetables and fruits • Use natural sweeteners such as Agave syrup • Eat gluten free grains: Quinoa, brown rice, millet and buckwheat • Eat good quality proteins: fish, free range poultry, legumes, raw nuts and seeds • Avoid dairy, although a little natural Greek yoghurt is ok • Avoid caffeine and alcohol and drink freshly squeezed vegetable juices, herbal teas and water instead • Stick to low intensity exercise like walking or yoga • Sleep – Aim for 7-8 hours a night Moment 4 Life Health & Living, contact Stacey at Circle Wellness Clinic or email: moment4lifehl@gmail.com

The Science of Homeopathy By Karuna Tohow – Homeopathy, Live Blood Analysis and Bowen Therapy

cientists from the Indian Institute of Technology, Bombay have recently established that homeopathy works on the principle of organic nano particles. These particles are naturally occurring and should not be confused with the manufactured nanos that are being used today in food and cosmetics, which are the cause of some public concern. Homeopathic medicines made from metals such as gold and zinc etc have been proven by observation under electron microscope to retain their potency and particles of base substances, even when diluted to a nanometre or one billionth of a metre. IIT,s chemical engineering department prepared highly diluted solutions of homeopathic minerals, examined them and found the nano particles of the original metals. Although homeopathy is widely popular in many countries including Britian and Australia, the British Medical Association has questioned its potency. British research papers have indicated, that homeopathy is a mere “placebo”. But

due to the research of IIT Bombay, the truth about homeopathy is being revealed and confirming what homeopaths have always understood. Homeopaths are able to achieve successful outcomes in tough medical conditions using these highly diluted medicines. The nano particles observed seem to be the powering agent in the effectiveness of these dilutes. And there are many advantages of these diluted homeopathic medicines: their total lack of toxicity, their lack of side effects and that they are non-addictive. Homeopathics act rapidly and start working to reduce symptoms within 20 minutes of being administered. It was Doctor Sammuel Haennaman who first developed homeopathy as a functioning medical science, and it has been successfully addressing health problems for over 200 years. Homeopathy treats most physical health problems but due to the highly refined and subtle composition, it has proven effective in treating psychological and emotional imbalances as well. Depression and anxiety are two imbalances that

respond well to homeopathy without suppression or dulling of the mind. These days with the over prescribing of antibiotics, antidepressants and tranquilisers, we increasingly see bacterial infections, viral infections and psychological problems that no longer respond to drug treatments. Modern medicine now needs new drugs or new methods to address these problems. We must contemplate for ourselves if drugs are the answer for ourselves and our families and if there are healthier options. In my Buderim clinic I am seeing an increasing number of clients who have allergies which do not even allow them to take medicines as the side effects are worse than the disease. They need to also be careful of synthetic vitamins, let alone drugs. For these people homeopathy is the last refuge, and often provides natural, simple solutions. As a professional homeopath, working in clinic for 22 years, I have seen difficult cases of all kinds respond to homeopathics, often when people have exhausted all other options. www.buderimnaturalmedicine.com.au

ARE YOU LISTENING?

Your body is trying to tell you something… By Dr Jasmine Peris

o you feel tired, uncomfortable and just out of sorts? Or perhaps you are unusually bloated, your hair and nails keep breaking and your face is blotchy? Maybe you have noticed that you are gaining/losing weight and you have bad breath and body odour… These are all signs that your body is trying to tell you something. Put very simplistically, human beings survive because we put stuff in one end (usually) and we allow stuff to come out the other. If we put in too much or too little, we suffer; but get the ‘right’ balance of the ‘right’ stuff and the results are simply miraculous! Most Australians eat for one of two reasons; for taste and pleasure or to fill up quickly and conveniently. Unfortunately, taste and

convenience are often associated with highly processed “fast” food and this is having an adverse effect on our health. The symptoms are there – how long you suffer depends on you. Sadly, it’s not always as simple as cutting out coffee and alcohol for two weeks or purging your system with a 10-day cleanse but considering the type of ‘fuel’ you are using is definitely a good starting point. If you would like to take your wellbeing one step further, and release depression and anxiety from your life and have more energy, improved joint and muscle pain and less cholesterol then you might consider a 3-step detox plan. (NB Consultation with a qualified healthcare professional is always recommended prior to any detox plan.)

3-Step Detox: 1. Digestion – in about 90% of cases it’s important to cleanse the digestive system f rst to remove harmful bacteria and repopulate the good bacteria. 2. Liver – Once you have cleared the digestive system move onto the liver. Acupuncture treatments will increase the blood f ow to the liver helping it to regenerate and operate effectively. Back this up with a diet rich in high alkalising fresh foods and vegetable proteins and low in dairy and fats. Avoid alcohol, caffeinated foods and drinks, saturated fats and red meats during this phase of liver regeneration. 3. Kidney – the kidneys also play a signif cant part in f ltering our body’s waste – they never stop working and so can easily get overloaded if there is too much processed food in your diet. In TCM your kidneys are responsible for holding your genetic make-up – the “essence” of you! Again, regular acupuncture treatments will help balance blood f ow in this essential life system. And remember, you have a choice whether or not you continue to suffer. For more information www.pinpointhealth.com.au

e Y r Y r L e’s P ?” By JR Isabelle Cunningham

or a lot of people discovering their life’s purpose actually becomes a life’s quest and unfortunately for many, the answer they seek never arrives. They spend their entire lives trying to figure out what to do with it. When you have found your life’s purpose your life becomes wonderful! Your health improves, your relationships improve, your finances improve, you have more fun, you see more beauty and you are grateful to be alive in every moment of every day. I know this because I am living in this way. Meditation has provided me with a vehicle to live out this purpose. For almost 30 years I have made my living teaching meditation and working as a holistic counsellor and healer. The practice of meditation has dramatically improved my own quality of life and as a teacher I feel blessed to have the daily focus of peace, healing and growth. However, the one benefit of having taught meditation for the past 30 years that stands out most for me is the indescribable joy of showing the amazing gift of meditation to others and

28.indd 1

watching their lives change. Four years ago I opened Inner Voyage Holistic Human Development (Meditation Teachers training college) to provide a pathway for others to live their own life’s purpose as meditation teachers and holistic healers. Since then, literally hundreds of people have passed through our cyber college, studying from their own homes via computer and then setting up their own holistic healing practices, with our support in the their hometowns. So my life’s purpose has grown into training others to live their own life’s purpose as healers through the powerful modality of meditation. Of course training to become a meditation teacher or in any other healing modality is only part of the journey. Getting out and actually doing it is the real joy. So when our students have completed their IICT and IMTA accredited training course, we provide them with ongoing support as practitioners, providing them with all the materials, business mentoring and support they need to build their own holistic healing practices and actually

start living the dream. So how do you know if teaching meditation is your life’s purpose too? There are thousands of jobs you could do to make a living. But how do you know when you come across that one thing that is going to make you want to bounce out of bed every morning & make your heart sing? Here is the answer to knowing when you have found your life purpose (this is not my invention but I have known this principle for so long). If you want to know your real calling, ask yourself this simple question, “If I could do this thing as much as I wanted but not necessarily make money from it, would I still want to do it?” Would you still want to spend your life helping others to have better, happier, healthier lives? For me, the answer is always, absolutely, yes! If you feel the same way then you may have just found your life’s purpose and the best thing about it is that you can make a very good living, from doing it as much as you want to. www.inner-voyage.com

Books, DVDs, . . . s a c i t s i l o H CDs and more... Perfect Parents, Perfect Children by Clinical Psychologist, Dr Bob Jacobs

T book is not what you think it’s going This to t be. When I f rst saw the title I thought to m myself is this going to take every parent down a road of ‘shoulds’ and ‘musts’ and send them packing on a guilt trip? However, this book does just the opposite. ‘Perfect parents, perfect children’ is a quick, easy and inspiring read that provides examples and ideas rather than a series of techniques on ‘how to parent’ but most of all it’s a book about reclaiming the joy of family life and celebrating this great gift. www.theparentingcentre.com

The Last Shaman This is the latest book release by international teacher and speaker, William Whitecloud The Last Shaman is a riveting ride through the jungles of war torn Africa, imparting an inspirational model for raising your consciousness in line with your highest potential. Lead character Mark Vale takes an unwanted journey to f nd the shaman responsible for ending the war and saving thousands of lives. All throughout Mark learns from a colourful array of characters who teach him to commit completely to the desires of his soul. We see how that commitment enables him to create in a way that uplifts not only himself, but also the whole world that he is a part of. www.wiliamwhitecloud.com

Detox your pet before Christmas! By Dr Elaine Cebuliak

ing those bells, holy holy! Christmas is around the corner! If you are like us here at Animal Wellness, we can hardly believe that ANOTHER YEAR has nearly passed. That means the festive season is coming with goodies lacing our dining tables, hiding in our cupboard, and in our handbags. Please remember to store your goodies out of harm’s way – to avoid midnight visits to the emergency clinic. Our furry family have fantastic noses and can smell those poisonous chocolate treats from across the hall. Don’t forget that the xylitol chewing gum is also toxic for your pet. People love to see animals eat. It’s an interesting psychological pleasure. It’s important to understand that the temptation to feed our much loved furry friends can be so great that some visitors and family members cannot restrain themselves. Most of these treats are INAPPROPRIATE to feed to your pet, this includes ham, excess fat off the plate,cooked bones, chocolate, and sweets. These can set off

PANCREATITIS which is a painful anterior abdominal inflammation which can cause vomiting, diarrhoea, listlessness, restlessness and unsettled behaviour particularly in the early hours of the morning. Diagnosis is made by blood tests, which show an elevation of lipase and amylase within the blood. As a veterinary dentist the only time I have seen caries (cavities) on molar teeth in dogs has been when they were fed lollies, and surprisingly these have been the green jelly frog lollies! Perhaps the owner thought it was cute to see the dog devour a green frog? In any case sugary sticky sweets will sit on the molar table surface of the tooth and allow bacteria to bury in, acid etching the hard enamel and enabling tooth decay to occur. In TCVM (Traditional Chinese Veterinary Medicine) terms being a bit pleasingly plump is referred to as having “dampness”. This can obstruct the circulation of Qi in the abdomen and can affect the pancreas, intestines (IBD, Crohn’s disease) and the liver. This causes abdominal pain, a feeling of fullness and heaviness and possibly diarrhoea. Feeding fresh SPECIES APPROPRIATE nutritious food will get your pet in the best shape for the holiday season. Do increase exercise gently too, aerobic sprints and outdoor activities will help get those love handles down. To detox you and your pet’s liver try adding some of these to your diet: Lettuce, Amaranth, Asparagus, Ginger powder, Wild Blue Green Algae, White Pepper, Vinegar, Papaya, Chaparral, Pau d’arco, Valerian, Chamomile, Brassica

family (Broccoli, Brussel sprouts) Celery, Turnip, Tumeric powder,Rye, Barley, Adzuki Beans, Alfalfa, Pumpkin, Chinese Cabbage, Watermelon, Anchovy, Kidney Beans, Button Mushrooms, Prawns/ Shrimp, Chestnuts, Kohlrabi, Mustard Greens, Radish, Chicken, Chicken Gizzards, Mackerel, Salmon, capsicum, blueberries, Apples, Artichoke, Berries – Blackberries, Berries – Blueberries, Berries – Raspberries, Berries – Strawberries, Bok Choy, Cherries, Garlic, Ginseng, Grapefruits, Lavender, Lemons, Licorice, Maitake, Nutmeg, Olive Oil, Oranges, Parsley, Pineapples, Soybean, Stichopus – Sea Cucumber, Tea – Green Tea, Tomato and Tuna. Interesting that these same foods are recommended to help prevent cancer, inflammation and detoxify the body.

Detoxif cation for Good Health By Eileen McLean

or many the term “detox” is surrounded by hype and causes many pet owners to disregard the concept of toxicity and detoxification in their animals. This is unfortunate because many animals genuinely suffer from toxicity. Toxins are substances the body is unable to process into useful nutrients. These toxins can put stress on the organs and the entire system, potentially leading to disease. Pets predisposed to toxicity are often animals that eat poor diets, and have weak liver function. Toxins can come from many different sources: • Processed foods • Flea, tick, worming products • Medications • Shampoos • Environmental pollutions • New furniture, carpets, paints • Pesticides and chemicals The body produces toxins

through normal day to day processes. A healthy body is able to detoxify naturally. It is when the body is unhealthy and the organs are overworked, or not working well, that toxins become overwhelming. The build up of toxins in the body can cause inflammation and skin problems. The process of removing toxins from the body is called detoxification. Natural therapies can be used to aid detoxification through the improvement and support of the respiratory, gastrointestinal, urinary, skin and lymphatic systems. Improve the diet by giving fresh raw foods. Avoid giving medications (when possible) and chemicals during detoxification. Provide broths and soups to increase fluid intake. Broths are beneficial for helping to cleanse the bowel. The bowel is an important place to start any detoxification process. When the bowel wall is unhealthy toxins including chemicals and food waste can leak into the bloodstream. The liver attempts to

Broth recipe: Add dd 200g of diced certified organic chicken ken and 2-3 cups of carrot, celery and pumpkin mpkin to a pot, cover with water and add a pinch of salt. Bring to the boil and then simmer until im the vegetables are soft. Add more water as needed. Allow to cool, and strain, removing the solid part from the liquid broth. Provide the broth for 1-2 days (provide fresh water too) and then reintroduce solids gradually. Herbal tonics can also assist in the detoxification process. Some well known skin, blood and liver cleansers include burdock root, dandelion, milk thistle and yellow dock root. Most animals with any kind of illness, short-lasting or chronic, will benefit from detoxification.

MAN TALK:

Shedding the Light on Reiki

’m sitting here on the sand with my bare feet soaking in the cool turquoise water of Pumistone passage off Golden Beach. The cool breeze washes over me as I chillax. Watching fluffy white clouds breaking over a crystal blue sky in the speckled shade of the beach front Melaleucas makes me feel a little guilty. Not really guilty because I have finally made it, that’s right, I’ve at last got around to it (after two editions of digression, procrastination and emergency gonzo scoops) , yep I’m finally Reiking the yard, I mean beach, eh! I mean me, that’s it, I’ve been ‘Reikied’ and I’m sitting here in the splendiferous surrounds because Debbie Bingley, my Reiki master told me to, yes she did so! Debbie said that I should go and get into nature and get grounded and here I am and she was right and I feel great. Reiki is a form of hands on healing using energy transference to promote self-healing bringing the body back to equilibrium, homeostasis. It was

developed in 1922 by renowned Japanese Buddhist Mikao Usui. Reiki is a Japanese word meaning “mysterious atmosphere” it is a compound of the words rei -spirit, miraculous, divine and ki -vital energy, breath of life, consciousness. Reiki masters place their palms on particular parts of the body, sometimes as prescribed by the western Reiki system, but often the placements are by intuition or feel as with my experience. There are two basic types of Reiki that is taught traditional Reiki and Western Reiki. In Western Reiki, the teachings are that Reiki works in conjunction with the meridian energy lines and chakras through the use of the hand-positions, which normally correspond to the seven major chakras on the body. These handpositions are used both on the front and back of the body, and can include specific areas. The use of the chakras is widespread within Western Reiki. Conversely, Traditional Japanese Reiki, doesn’t rely so much on the use of

chakras as it concentrates more on treating specific areas of the body after using specialist techniques to find areas of disease or discomfort in the auras and physical body. A truly personal even spiritual experience, I felt the energy flow as I became more and more relaxed and afterwards my Reiki master produced some sage and smudged me. How cool, relaxing and healing and I kept all my clothes on, yippy! Debbie works from her home close to the canals of Pelican Waters, her home is relaxing with an inviting poolside courtyard that kind of makes you feel like you’re on a tropical beach somewhere. She is a highly trained and skilled professional and offers so much more in her personalised treatment – hence the smudging and complementary advice “getting my grounding in nature” anyway the sun is cooling down and I am falling asleep, I think!

JOYOLOGY NOW!!! Did you know that the first cervical vertebra, the atlas, is out of alignment in most people? This circumstance leads to a variety of physical and psychological ailments and illnesses. Atlasprofilax is a neuromuscular technique that liberates the Atlas with only one application accurately, safely and permanently. This powerful relocation immediately activates a self-healing and harmonising process. It is holistic in nature, promoting wellness and rejuvenation on all levels, mind, body and spirit. This method is nonmedical, non-chiropratic.

One Treatment Can Be Life Changing The Atlas supports your head and governs structural alignment. A misaligned Atlas causes restriction of the brain stem, spinal cord, cranial nerves and arteries. This limits our potential for wellbeing and creates tension, restricting the free flow of energy. When the Atlas is installed correctly, the body begins an unwinding process, releasing holding patterns and enabling the body to heal and regenerate.

Detox Your Fears For An Easier Birth!

By Katrina Zaslavsky

pring is classically the time to detox your life. I really believe toxins are to the body what fears are to a pregnant mind. You may not be aware of them or their effects but left to breed and run rampant, they can cause problems in the long run. Mental pollution comes in many forms. Hollywood images, media or our collective emergency mindset that has turned a natural miracle into a medical event in our own minds and then makes that come true. Stop feeding the fears. Turn off the box, put away the â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;bad newsâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; and please, I beg you, stop listening to horror stories! Ask politely â&#x20AC;&#x153;is it a positive story?â&#x20AC;? Let them know, â&#x20AC;&#x153;shhhh baby is listening!â&#x20AC;? Perhaps you can agree to swap notes after the birth so they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t impact on your experience. You are the protector of your mental space and babyâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s home. Nobody has the

right to disturb your peace of mind. This is where motherhood begins. Research shows labour is not just a mechanical process but an intricate interplay between mind and body. A hormonal orchestra that is easily disturbed. By what, you may ask? By your own mind and emotions. This is where other mammals have the advantage. They just rely on instincts and donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t let their heads get in the way. Fortunately, they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t read newspapers so they donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know they should be afraid! It turns out being primitive serves us better than being sophisticated. Want a pain-free birth? A fascinating theory I talk about in my new book is Dr Readâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Fear â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Tension â&#x20AC;&#x201C; Painâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; Syndrome. Dr Read says, â&#x20AC;&#x153;pain in an otherwise uncomplicated labour arises from the sympathetic nervous system fuelled by the emotion of fear.â&#x20AC;? By removing fear, tension is reduced and pain eliminated or minimised. Put simply, cure the fear and the pain is taken care of.

Do you hold the belief that contractions represent pain? If so, you will make that a self fulfilling prophecy. Give it a different name. I never used the word contractions, nor pain. All I spoke of were waves and intense pressure and therefore that was all I had during my birthing experiences. Learn the art of total body relaxation. Get yourself to such a state of inner calm that you no longer hold any fears regarding your birth and are only filled with anticipation of meeting your baby and becoming a mother. Affirmation of the day: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I am EXCITED about birthing my baby.â&#x20AC;? Your mind is the most powerful ally you have â&#x20AC;&#x201C; USE it!!

Why Do I Detox? By Mary-Lou Stephens

“

Why do I always do this to myself?” I found myself thinking three days into a detox retreat. When other people take time off work, most of them have a holiday. Instead, I spend seven days without food, taking lots of herbs to clean out my entire system, which before it gets clean feels like…well you get the idea. Other so-called holidays I’ve had involved meditating in silence for ten days and only having lemon water for dinner. I seem to think that holidays are meant to fortify the body and soul rather than relax them. Perhaps I feel a certain amount of guilt living in a permanent holiday destination, where driving to work means a beautiful meander along the Maroochy River and I get to go to the beach everyday. Friends and family laughed when I told them I was going on a detox

retreat. “You’re the cleanest living person we know,” they said. “What have you got to detox from?” And that was a very good question, a question I didn’t find the complete answer to until almost the end of the retreat. The answer I found was that I was detoxing from the media, from the news, from the gossip, from the latest round of tragedy and betrayal. I was detoxing from the internet, and boy did I go through withdrawals. Not being able to google myself up an answer or some information at the touch of a keyboard was almost as tough as going without three meals a day plus snacks. I was detoxing from a certain mindset that pushes us all to achieve in the external world, to acquire and grasp and cut ourselves off from each other with our possessions and positions in life.

I was detoxing from fear, from the need to constantly prove myself in the eyes of others. And strangely enough of all, I was detoxing from music. I fill my ears constantly with sounds from all over the world, the latest hit single from the multinational multi-labels to obscure bouzouki playing duos recorded on the last two track reel-toreel in existence. Sometimes your ears need a good cleaning out as well as the rest of your system so that you can appreciate a simple melody or a beautiful lyric. The joy of detoxing is that you get to begin again all squeaky clean and when you do you can really enjoy that brand new song, the latest factoid on the internet and the taste of, well let’s face it, just about anything tastes good after a week of not eating! www.maryloustephens.com.au

NOVEMBER WITH THE NUMBERS QUEEN By Sarah Yip

n numerology, we run in cycles of 9, so January to September (months 1 to 9) each year are for planting the seeds of your dreams and October through to December are the months where you’ll see your hard work pay off. As the eleventh month of the year, November holds special significance because 11 is a Master Number. If 1 is the number of a leader then 11 is the number of a leader of leaders, so it’s no surprise that many famous people have 11 energy (Obama, Al Gore, Prince Charles, Prince William, Madonna and Jesus, to name a few). The number 11 looks like ‘train tracks connecting heaven and earth’ and it’s all about justice. If you turn 11 on its side, it becomes an equals (=) sign. I take this to mean that life is fair and what you put out you get back 100%. It’s all a cosmic game like the Olympics, so please don’t take shortcuts because you will always be found out.

11 is an intense vibration that brings our shadow self to light. If you have any physical or emotional addictions they may become overwhelming this month as a sign that you need to step back and start pacing yourself. As they say, we often overestimate what we can achieve in one year and underestimate what we can do in 10. With a little planning you can have everything you want in life, just not all at once. Life is like a good dinner – it comes in courses so that you can enjoy the process. If the Universe gave you everything at once, you’d just get indigestion. November is also a month to meet your soul mate or to take up humanitarian work (note the two 1s standing as equals). So if you’re looking for a summer (or a lifetime) fling consider crawling out from that pile of paperwork and joining a cause you’re passionate about. Like attracts like and

that’s never more obvious than in an 11 month. KEY DATES Nov 4: Use your intuition to seek fair solutions to work or health problems. Nov 11: Forgive yourself for past mistakes and detach from drama. Nov 13: Move through self-doubt to take action on your childhood dreams. Nov 22: Join or start projects that have a long-term benefit for humanity. Tip: If your date of birth adds up to 11 (e.g. 27+1+1981 = 29 = 2+9 = 11), or you were born in November or on the 11th of any month this article is dedicated to you. Thank you for being a leader for integrity at this time on the planet. To everyone else, you’re wonderful too! Happy evolving! www.sarahyip.com For free numerology tips like Sarah on facebook: The Numbers Queen
