From the Creator of HBM...

I

wonder if all of the events unfolding in the world, as challenging as they might be to face, are assisting us to collectively get back to basics. Could the intense change be for our wake-up process and for the benefit of our beautiful planet?

It seems timely this month (and every month really!!) to look at how we are living and being. So we’ve covered different aspects of sustainable living, getting back to basics with our food choices, our breath, finding ways to lift off the layers of untruth and choosing modalities that work for us personally; decluttering the mind and bringing ease to the body. And some of our contributors discuss clearing the clutter from our homes and offices too!

Every thought, every conversation

and action we take can contribute to the collective consciousness of the planet. We are that powerful! And that is not about putting ourselves on a massive guilt trip if we are not sitting in lotus position with a green smoothie, in a bamboo hut.

We are also a contribution to the planet with kindness, acknowledging self and others for the bright shining lights we be and being gentle with ourselves and others when we stuff up too! And simplicity doesn’t necessarily mean we live in the forest, we can create in all directions with an elegant ease and flow.

This month we feature TV chef and gardener, Paul West on our cover and thank-you Krishna Everson for writing this special, down-to-earth cover story!

SPRING AÇAI BOWL

FOOD FOR THE SOUL

RECIPE JAMES DUIGAN | PHOTO DAVID MUNNS

O

ur cafe in Notting Hill is becoming famous for the açai bowls we serve.

Açai is one of the most nutritious fruits in the world. We blend ours with one of the Bodyism supplements to increase the protein content in each bowl and to make it even more delicious.

Our açai supplier, ‘Rayder’, is an activist for preventing deforestation in the Amazon and açai is one of the only no-timber products to come from the rainforest.

So, make sure you choose high-quality frozen açai (you can find it in health stores or online) and feel proud that you are helping to save the planet and looking after your body, too. If you don’t have the Bodyism supplements, substitute them for a tablespoon of hemp seeds.

Serves 2 Ingredients: 100g frozen açai pulp Half a frozen banana 1 scoop Bodyism Body Brilliance or Bodyism Protein Excellence ¼ cup almond milk ½ cup frozen mixed berries for the toppings

2 tbsp almond butter 2 tbsp Simply Granola (see page 102 in the book ‘Blueprint for Health’) 2 tbsp fresh berries Any other superfood you’d like: goji berries, hemp seeds, bee pollen, coconut flakes, chia seeds!

Method: 1. Put the açai, banana, Bodyism supplement and almond milk into a blender. Whizz it up until all the açai is mixed (if there are any unblended pieces left, then add more almond milk).

2. Spoon into bowls. Add the toppings equally into each bowl. Start with the almond butter, then granola and finally sprinkle with berries and any other superfood you want!

Top Tip: Texture is everything. Aim for an ice-cream consistency, not a smoothie — it is an art!

MAKE YOUR OWN SAUERKRAUT RECIPE PETE EVANS & HELEN PADARIN

Ingredients: 1 star anise 1 tsp whole cloves 600g cabbage (you can use green or red, or a mix of the two) 1½ tsp sea salt (or 3 tsp if not using the vegetable starter culture – see below) 2 tsp caraway seeds 2 tbsp juniper berries 1 small handful of dill fronds, roughly chopped ½ sachet vegetable starter culture (this will weigh 1-2g, depending on the brand) – optional Method: 1. You will need a 1.5 litre preserving jar with an airlock lid.

2. Place the star anise and cloves in a small piece of muslin, tie into a bundle and set aside. Remove the outer leaves of the cabbage. Choose one of the outer leaves, wash it well and set aside.

3. Place the cabbage in a large glass bowl. Sprinkle over the salt, caraway, juniper and dill. Massage the cabbage for 10 minutes to release its juices.

Dissolve the starter (if using) in water according to packet instructions. Add to the cabbage mix with the bag of spices.

Mix well.

4. Fill the prepared jar with the cabbage mix, pressing down well with a large spoon or potato masher to remove any air pockets. Leave 2cm of room free at the top. The cabbage should be completely submerged in its juices; add more water if necessary.

5. Take the clean cabbage leaf, fold it up and place it on top of the cabbage mixture, then add a small glass weight (a shot glass is ideal) to keep everything submerged.

6. Close the lid. Wrap a tea towel around the side of the jar to block out the light.

Store in a dark place at 16-23°C for

8-15 days (add another 5 days if not using the starter culture). You can place the jar in an esky to maintain a more consistent temperature.

7. Chill before eating.

This was contributed by integrative doctor, Dr Carlos Sanchez who sees the importance of clean, organic real food, as a fuel to the body to perform its normal functions and repair. Natural unprocessed food can help with the healing of the body. There needs to be a variety of ingredients to maximise the amount of vitamins and minerals that are co-factors in the multiple biochemical reactions that happen in our body. Using things like broth helps to heal our gut lining and probiotic foods to maintain a healthy gut flora plays an important role with our immune system. Enjoy this beautiful recipe from his friend Helen Padarin who was visiting recently. This recipe is from ‘The Complete Gut Health Cookbook’ by Pete Evans with Helen Padarin. www.ibukihealth.com.au

Blastocystis:

LITTLE BUG, BIG TROUBLE

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

I

have quite a few people booking in at the moment who have been diagnosed with a condition called Blastocystosis. Never heard of ‘blasto’ before? Not many even know how to pronounce it, let alone understand the detrimental impact this little bug can have on your health. To help shed some light on this common diagnosis, I thought I’d break it down and explain it a little deeper for those of you wondering exactly what it is, and how to manage it.

WHAT IS IT? Blastocystosis (BLAST-oh-sis-TOSis) is an illness caused by a microscopic parasite, Blastocystis ‘hominis’. The parasite can live in our intestines and is protected by an outer shell, which makes it notoriously difficult to treat. It’s a pretty easy parasite to ‘catch’ as it can be picked up from any surface or by eating contaminated food or water.

It’s quite likely that most of us have the blastocystis parasite and not have any symptoms. Signs of gastrointestinal distress caused by blastocystis infection

can include: abdominal pain, diarrhoea, constipation, excessive gas, slimy stools that tend to float, upset stomach or nausea. Patients also report fatigue, skin rashes, and joint pain. Some people with Blastocystis have severe symptoms, while others have no symptoms at all.

HOW IS A BLASTOCYSTIS ‘HOMINIS’ INFECTION DIAGNOSED? Your doctor or naturopath will likely ask you to submit stool samples to check for the parasite. As Blastocystis ‘hominis’ can be quite difficult to diagnose, you may have to submit multiple stool specimens collected over a few days. Even in that case, the diagnostics may fail to detect the infection. And as is the case with many parasites, by the time you know you have it, you’ve probably already shared it with everyone around you.

HOW CAN I TREAT BLASTOCYSTOSIS? Because it is a difficult parasite to treat, there are a number of different options that patients can choose.

Some patients have reported success with several prescription medications

yummy goodness... we create yummy...

such as antibiotics and antifungals, but the success rates for treatment of Blastocystis ‘hominis’ are much lower than for other diseases. I’m a firm believer in anti-parasitic foods and herbs like garlic, papaya seeds, oregano and coconut oil when attacking parasite infestations. Many practitioners find value in a series of colonic treatments to improve the environment of your colon, not only flushing out the suspecting parasites but creating an environment where they don’t want to live.

The thing I find really interesting about blastocystis is that some people experience horrible symptoms and feel quite unwell, whereas others remain asymptomatic indefinitely. My personal belief is that as humans we will never be able to cleanse our bodies 100% of all parasites for our entire lives, but what we should be doing in our modern world full of toxins is cleansing and resetting our bodies regularly so that parasitic colonies don’t have a chance to reproduce out of control. www.sunshinecolonics.com.au

FOOD FOR THE SOUL

GUT FEELING

is more important than you think

WORDS DANIELLE ROBERTS

A

s a society, we are becoming much more conscious of the relationship between what we eat and our general well-being. We know a lot more about the benefits of certain foods, the potential damage caused by others, and what may need to be avoided by those with intolerances and inflammatory conditions. Many of us, including the majority of my patients, make a conscious effort to consume food in ways that will benefit their health.

One area we are only starting to understand is the role played by the gut on our overall well-being – and I’m not referring to size here! I am talking about the mini eco-system inside our gut comprising mainly of different bacteria, as well as some other micro-organisms – the microbiome.

We all have our own unique gut community, which changes over time due to our diet, lifestyle and overall health. We are now beginning to realise that the relationship between

these factors and gut health is far more complex, and more important than what we had previously thought in the prevention and treatment of a range of different conditions and diseases.

These include: eczema, autism, irritable bowel syndrome, ulcerative colitis, small intestinal bacterial overgrowth, candida and a range of autoimmune diseases and allergies.

There have also been recent studies showing a noticeable influence of gut health on mood, depression and anxiety.

There are many microbiotaenhancing foods that provide a valuable source of non-digestible compounds that encourage the growth of beneficial micro-organisms in the gut. These are known as prebiotics, and your health care professional can work with you to determine those best suited to you and your individual needs.

In addition, one of the more recent areas of focus is on probiotics – these are the ‘good’ bacteria that can be found in certain fermented foods or

prepared in concentrated forms such as a capsule. There are a wide range of beneficial bacteria that fall into this category. Some of the more common varieties that are readily available provide good, general support for the gut microbiome. These may not be suitable for everybody (particularly in people that have a sensitivity to d-lactate), as many commercial available probiotic supplements contain high levels of this enzyme.

There are also a number of probiotic products only available to healthcare practitioners – and these are the ones that can be prescribed to help manage a number of specific health conditions mentioned above.

e live in a world where our focus on convenience and our lack of knowledge or control over the ingredients in our everyday products and services, are impacting our health on many levels.

We are overwhelmed by consumerism where we buy all things pre-packaged, pre-assembled and mass-produced; that have a life span of a nano-second; then we repeat this cycle.

It is so pleasing to see a movement towards ‘back to basics’ where families are re-evaluating aspects of their lives in terms of what they need, versus what they want, taking back control of what they put IN, ON and AROUND them.

And there are a variety of benefits: Empowerment – you take accountability for you and your family’s health. Fulfilment – you become proactive in providing a safer environment. Accomplishment – you develop more skills in living sustainably. Connection – you and your family become more mindful of your environment, what you are

using and making the planet a healthier place. Richness – you exit the consumer mentality and save money. Health – you minimise your body’s toxic burden.

We may even witness some changes including: reduced reliance on supermarket shopping and starting a veggie garden, reusing and recycling rather than buying new, dinner out may be on a blanket under the stars, and instead of a luxury holiday, we may end up camping.

We don’t have to be a fire-twirling hippy to choose voluntary simplicity over possession obsession. And there are no rules dictating that it’s an all or nothing transition. We can pick and choose the aspects we want to deconstruct in our life.

Getting back to the basics of life is relatively easy. We can choose from: cooking our own meals; getting creative with our gifting; making or mending our own clothes; choosing organic alternatives; growing our own fruit and vegetables; or even making our own edible, personal and home products.

f you’re a lover of idyllic Australian countryside, fresh food and sustainable farming, then you’ve probably already caught an episode or two of ‘River Cottage Australia’, currently airing weeknights on SBS. Filmed on location in the southern coastal region of Central Tilba, NSW, ‘River Cottage Australia’ and host Paul West have inspired millions of viewers to aspire to a more sustainable lifestyle.

When I caught up with Paul, he was holidaying with his young family in Melbourne, after several seasons of television production and the relentless schedule that goes with it. With a new addition to the family, he was enjoying making precious time for family and fatherhood.

Paul never set out to be a celebrity chef, or sustainable farmer. It was only after a chance suggestion by a friend, and encouragement from his wife that he applied online for the coveted hosting role on the Australian version of ‘River Cottage’. The rest is history.

Paul first chose cooking as a potential career out of necessity. He needed employment, and felt a trade that allowed him to cook for family and friends three times a day in a home environment, would be a smart choice.

“It was for both personal reasons and survival; I couldn’t really cook to save myself. When I left home I realised that mum had been cooking for us for two decades and I didn’t know how to do it!”

Paul grew up on a diet of meat and three vege, so his culinary adventures were yet to come. With such humble beginnings, I was curious to uncover what had led him to embrace growing food, and the concept of sustainable farming.

Paul believes that growing and cooking food are fundamentally tied.

“It first really clicked that I wanted to cook, and I wanted to grow food, when I was staying on a farm as a wwoofer.” WWOOF is an international movement that connects willing workers with organic farmers, exchanging food and accommodation for a working contribution to the farm. At 21 years old, Paul was offered a place on an organic farm in Northern Tasmania. “I stayed with this old French guy. He had a very River Cottagey type farm, he’d grown up in the South of France, and he was a carpenter. He’d moved to Australia in his twenties, and had never left. He was kind of retirement age, and was really going about re-creating the life in Southern France for himself in the North of Tasmania. He had 20 acres, with beautiful stone walls, vegetable gardens, horses, geese, ducks, pigs, cows, handdug wells, stone-lined cellars and all this amazing, amazing stuff, and I’d never really been exposed to that before. I grew up in a regional area in the Upper Hunter Valley, but it was not that type of farm. As I was living and exchanging with this guy, I didn’t even think this type of thing was real, it was kind of like fairy tale stuff, where you have all these kind of different animals on the farm, and you work in the sunshine, and you cook from the land, and all the neighbours drop in, but it was real!

“I guess it’s only since I’ve been in the position where I am now, and people ask me about where it all began in retrospect, what an impact it had being on that farm. I realised by being there, there’s a real synchronicity between cooking and growing, and the two are really inseparable. If you grow it, you’re going to cook it! So, if you can do

l u a P t Wes both, then it’s a wonderful dual skill set to have. So I’d realised I had none of the skills to do either of those, I wasn’t much of a gardener either. I mean my mum was an excellent gardener, she had a huge mainly ornamental garden she’d carved out of a bare paddock and turned it into this lush oasis. So for me, every school holidays was basically spent moving a tonne of mulch with a wheelbarrow and a shovel, which was like punishment when I should have been enjoying my school holidays with

I’D LIKE TO THINK THAT THE TRAJECTORY THAT MY CAREER HAS TAKEN AS A COOK WOULD SERVE AS AN INSPIRATION THAT NEARLY ANYONE CAN COOK.

my friends. At the time I couldn’t think of anything worse than gardening!

“I’d like to think that the trajectory that my career has taken as a cook would serve as an inspiration that nearly anyone can cook. It doesn’t have to be in your blood. It was certainly learned for me.”

If Paul was to send a message to Australians, it would be that our nourishment shouldn’t be taken lightly.

“It’s probably one of the highest priorities we have. Getting truly nutrient dense

food, is not about being a good cook; it’s not about being a MasterChef contestant or being a foodie or taking photos of every meal and putting it on social media. It’s about cooking, and taking high quality ingredients and turning it into something that nourishes yourself and your family and friends. That’s the epitome, it’s an act of self-love, and not something we should be doing for recognition. To get really good, beautiful, nutrient dense food, it can’t be grown in a big industrial manner, it needs to

be grown by someone who cares and someone who loves what they do and that then comes through in the quality of the food. Once I learned to cook, it gave me a deeper appreciation for the ingredients. You don’t need to do a great deal to have a tasty dish, whereas if you use really bad ingredients or use things that are right out of season or meat that has led a miserable life, it’s hard to make that taste good, even for a chef.”

Paul is the first to admit that everyone has different constraints and pressures, and that it won’t always be easy to change the way we currently access and consume food overnight, but he does suggest we can make small adjustments when and where we can. “Rather than eating a lot of meat, eat a little bit of high quality meat that relies on grass, outside in the sun, that’s been grown by someone that has respect for the animal.

What you’re really buying is nutrition, and an animal that has good nutrition.”

Life after River Cottage means Paul will be back home in Newcastle and can focus on growing his own fruit and vegetables, which he hopes to document online. “What I found with my experience with River Cottage is that a lot of people found it very aspirational, but not a lot of people found it practical.

They don’t live on 20 acres. They’d love to, but in reality they live in a suburban environment, so by growing food myself in the backyard and coming from that River Cottage farm and that mindset, I can show people that you don’t need to live on 20 acres in the Tilba or a beautiful property in Northern Tasmania to be able to access good food. You can grow a relationship with your food and the people around you, and can do it anywhere.” www.instagram.com/_paul_west_ Holistic Bliss | OCTOBER 2017 |

PLANTING THE SEEDS

for a great life

WORDS JEAN SHEEHAN, Principal – Millennium Education

M

any years ago when my 23-year-old son was food shopping with me he said, “Vegetables grow in the supermarket.”

That blew me away and got me thinking that unless we show children nature and how things work, they will assume things like this.

The next day it was a trip to the nursery to buy vegetable seedlings to plant. The whole process of growing your own food fascinated my son and the best part was that he loved sneaking in to the garden to eat the fresh snow peas from the vine. Funny thing was, if I gave him snow peas on his plate he would not eat them but from our vine they were ‘yummy and real’.

I share these insights, as working with so many of the Millennium Children® this awareness is more predominant now. But some children don’t have any awareness about food and where it comes from.

And many have processed, take away food. However, when I show children our garden or take children through the bush on one of my workshops to explain

the healing properties of flowers and trees, their gorgeous minds light up and they get so inspired. We make a plan of what they can grow and why and what it would do to make their mind, body and spirit feel all ‘yummy’. The sheer delight on their faces (even the ones that do not like outside play and prefer computers, what I call STAR Children), suddenly light up and express that they want to have their own food from their garden to their plate.

Children ‘feed’ off the parent or carer and if you are excited and see the value in something, so will they. In this case if you get excited about having a delicious edible garden, can you imagine what they will feel like? The Millennium Children® have a gift of sensitivity and intolerances and they require pure food and environments such as gardens and parks to play in. It is all about ‘back to basics’ to empower these divine souls.

And that includes teenagers too, not just young ones. By creating an edible garden, you are creating a magical educational school which includes so

CARE AND SUPPORT

P

ositive Life Store is delighted to introduce our ‘Cancer Support Program’ which offers free Reiki treatments in store every Thursday to people who have cancer. Treatments are conducted by enthusiastic Reiki practitioners who have been thoroughly trained by Chrissy Cush, Reiki Master and teacher here at the store.

Chrissy is highly experienced in her fields of expertise and has previously worked with a non-profit healthcare organisation called SolarisCare, located in Perth, Western Australia. SolarisCare is strongly dedicated to offering quality resources, services and support for cancer patients and families. Chrissy was able to contribute by volunteering free Reiki treatments to patients within Sir Charles Gardiner Hospital all thanks to SolarisCare.

With great insight into a modern medical field and like-minded visionaries who promote overall wellbeing, Chrissy assumed when she relocated to Brisbane that there would be opportunities to approach other

organisations like SolarisCare and hospitals to volunteer treatments on a regular basis. Unfortunately this wasn’t the case.

“I was disheartened to learn that there were no such programs in Brisbane like SolarisCare offering free treatments, so whilst discussing the topic with my students and seeing their tenacity and enthusiasm to get involved, we decided then and there to form our own program,” said Chrissy.

Reiki has been shown to reduce stress, with many relaxation benefits in conjunction with orthodox medicine.

It is a ‘hands-on’, non-invasive healing technique which will also boost the immune system to function at its optimum level.

We believe in improving the quality of life with an holistic approach and positive attitude.

Positive Life Store is dedicated and committed to providing support for those suffering the emotional and physical effects from cancer diagnosis, treatment and recovery – and the

natural therapies are offered with genuine compassion and care.

Positive Life Store was first established in 1994. Over the years it has become well known for offering natural therapies, new age and natural health care products.

How does our ENERGY, WORDS and EMOTIONS affect the FOOD we EAT? WORDS AMANDA MACKAY

H

ave you heard about mindful eating? I’m sure some of you have, focusing in the moment when consuming a meal, appreciating flavours, textures, where food was sourced and feeling your body appreciating its fuel.

Sounds personal doesn’t it? Can words and energy change or build dynamics, flow and connection during a family meal?

I have a full table at dinner time with four children and whoever else happens to be there. When they were little, I started the ritual of ‘best part of your day’, where each person shared something special, interesting or funny.

When the day had been challenging everyone still needed to find the good.

Each member of the family was heard (vital in a family large or small), they learnt the ability to focus on a positive and verbalise their feelings, thoughts and ideas, creating connection and our meal could be eaten with balanced emotions.

For parents or carers, it’s learning to listen without editing, correcting, modifying or directing the conversation.

Speaking but not being heard and not having the skills to express thoughts and feelings, is one of the most common difficulties I witness in clients and it all starts in the early years.

I have spoken to many clients who struggle with being able to communicate with children (this does vary during the teenage years!). One thing they had in common was trying to broach ‘issues’ during dinner. What child wants to eat while being grilled about grades, pushed to share uncomfortable feelings or being shamed for whatever it is the parent doesn’t like about their behaviour? None.

Do you enjoy that horrid conversation with Aunt Pru when she pulls your life apart? Imagine how children feel with the imbalance of power.

Meal conversation applies to any social interaction. So complaining,

denigrating a colleague or recounting a past personal slight, generates energy of ‘not good enough’, ‘victim’ and ‘anger’, food then absorbs these emotions.

When the plate hits the table in front of you, do you look at the server and say ‘thank you’? Do the people you’re feeding offer appreciation and are there manners when passing condiments?

The energy of recognition and gratitude creates respect and connection.

Throughout preparing a meal, smile and feel love for those you’re giving to. If you’re receiving, feel the blessing of being taken care of. When dining out, connect with the wait staff and compliment the chef (having worked in a commercial kitchen, I know how much it’s valued).

Weave the fabric of relationships at the table, create fun and memories, choose the feelings, hold the space for individuality, imagination and inspiration, and infuse the food with good intention, connection and love. www.amandamackay.com.au

INNER LIFE

WORDS MURRAY BALL

nformation revealed during a ‘Holographic Kinetics’ healing session truly proves what really exists in the invisible world. Clients may have a belief system that we are all alone in this world and yet, when their healing session has finished, they know that their eyes have been opened by their own spirit, no-one else’s. Their own part in their past is revealed.

One of my clients was seeking help for a recurring dream involving torturing and killing someone. It was becoming more vivid, disturbing sleep and everyday life, and the client was reluctant to go to bed and sleep and rest.

Upon entering the spirit healing session and moving into a past life, the client’s spirit revealed the dream was actually a replay of the client being tortured and killed. Seeing the energy interference in the perpetrator, the client was initially in disbelief at what

they saw, and why it was being done.

The actual energy interference entered into the client’s field and was coming through the life cycles with the spirit, tormenting the client with behaviour problems and relationship issues.

When we are extracting a negative energy interference, all our clients experience the same feeling: they feel it within their body and hear what it says.

They all feel relieved and lighter once it has been removed for good.

For the dreaming client, we were able to clear all the trauma and negative energy that had been locked in, resulting in peaceful sleep and calmness… with an ongoing positive ripple throughout their daily life.

Another recent client was extremely racist and righteous in their gender role, and was shaken awake on seeing that in a past life they were indeed a little African girl, raped and killed.

The reality is that we are all truly the

same, regardless of skin colour, gender or beliefs.

Our own spirit has the keys to explain what is happening with our dreams, and with our life. Our own spirit wants to run our life, our reactions and emotions.

To further empower humanity, we teach our clients how to connect to and work with their own spirit, to live a truer life. Then we teach them how to do their own inner housekeeping, so that they can manage themselves and their lives far better on a daily basis.

That gives our clients peace. They don’t need to keep coming back to be treated for the same thing over and over again. They are healed and move on with the tools to continue exploring themselves. As new layers are revealed, they return to us for that specific work, then step out into their world, stronger again. www.ofmindbodyspirit.com

COMMUNITY SPIRIT

in action!

WORDS TIM FRASER, President Mooloolaba Lions Club and Integrative Practitioner

B

eing a healer and a member of the worldwide community service organisation known as ‘Lions’ are my great passions in life. On 7th June this year ‘Lions’ turned 100 years old and our motto is making our community a better place to live, work and grow. It was founded by Melvin Jones in Chicago, America, and in Australia it began in Lismore 70 years ago. Our aim is to complete 100 community projects between 7/6/17 and 7/6/18.

Healers and ‘Lions’ share similar values in that both groups want to improve their communities. Being a holistic healer means we are interested in engaging and developing the whole person. This covers all the different levels: physical, emotional, mental and spiritual. It’s the concept that makes the human being multi-dimensional.

Since Helen Keller challenged ‘Lions’ to become ‘Knights of the Blind’ in 1925, we have improved eye health and eye care for hundreds of millions of people around the world. Today, 80% of vision impairments are preventable or curable, so our service is more important than

ever before. Lions and Leos screen vision, educate our communities, build clinics and support the blind and visually impaired through assistive technology and vocational training programs. We work to preserve the precious gift of sight for the world.

‘Lions Recycle 4 Sight Australia Inc’ is a not-for-profit volunteer group operating under a direct licence issued by the ‘Lions International Board of Directors’ in 1998 and currently collects close to 600,000 pairs a year of used spectacles, sunglasses, new frames, used lens, (unused) contact lens and a variety of medical support equipment.

The program cleans, grades and labels 450,000 pairs annually of used spectacles and sunglasses at our three centres in Queensland. The labelled end product is packed in boxes of 200 pairs; half of one prescription and 100 of the next higher prescription, under quality control rules. These are then shipped to third world countries.

‘Lion’s Hearing Dogs’, is a not-forprofit organisation that provides hearing dogs and training for use by the hearing

impaired people throughout Australia.

‘Australian Lions Drug Awareness Foundation’ promotes awareness and prevention of abuse from alcohol and other drugs. There is also a ‘Disaster and Emergency’ response where money is collected to provide resources and ensure the support goes to where it’s needed.

Other programmes assist young people to become well rounded. For example, ‘Youth of the Year – Peace Poster and Essay’ encourages youth and builds their confidence with public speaking.

How can Lion’s help your business?

Our large organisation has many members giving you the platform to network, with many leadership opportunities. Be part of a group that cares and helps people. Mooloolaba recently donated a mobile shower unit to Maroochydore Neighbourhood Centre and donated a training mannequin to the Nambour Ambulance Station for paramedics to train on!

5 THINGS your BODY would TELL YOU if you were LISTENING WORDS DR DAIN HEER

H

ave you ever been in a relationship with someone who was in constant judgment of you? Or perhaps a friend who never really listens to what you are saying and ignores you? Not much fun, is it? This describes the way many of us function in our relationship with our body. Our body is always there, contributing to us, taking care of us, making sure we get where we need to go. And often times our response is judgment of how bad and wrong it is, or we choose to ignore it completely.

What if you could create a different relationship with your body; one of kindness, caring and communion? What if you began to ask your body questions and truly listen to what it has to say?

Below are 5 things that your body would say to you if you were listening.

1. Do one thing a day to nurture, acknowledge and appreciate me.

Touching your body is one way to

communicate with and nurture it. When you wake up in the morning, for three minutes, gently touch your body as if it belongs to somebody you care for.

2. Stop judging me.

When you wake up in the morning, make a conscious choice to stop the litany of judgment that you start each day with. Instead, thank your body and tell it how grateful you are for it.

3. I was created to have fun.

What if the sole purpose of life was to have fun? Would that change the way you do things? Is it fun for your body to be touched? To feel the sun on its skin? To walk with its feet in the grass? What if you started to have fun now?

4. Ask me about me.

How much have you done to your body because somebody said it would create a result? How many diets, foods, herbs, fads, have you tried because

somebody said? Ask your body. Your body has the answers if you start asking.

5. Ask me what it would take to get me to look the way you want me to.

If you want your body to look a certain way, first acknowledge the greatness of it, as it is and then ask what it would take to shift some things and create some change. Your body is happy to comply. It will let you know what it would take. Ask and take time to listen.

DYING with DIGNITY WORDS SORAYA SARASWATI

D

ying with dignity, also known as Euthanasia (a less appealing term), is something we only think about when we are personally touched by the suffering of a loved one.

I had never thought too much about it until recently when my mother found herself in the final throws of cancer.

She was brave, facing her failing body with a clear mind till the last breath. Cancer can be a very cruel disease and watching her deterioration made me think about the lack of choice in Australia to ‘die with dignity’. As a personal choice, this has a growing following, largely brought into the Australian public eye in recent years by Andrew Denton. It’s about offering a personal choice around one’s dying to avoid unnecessary pain and suffering.

There are staunch believers on both sides of this debate but I wonder if it should be about the very personal choice of the one who is dying?

My mother was ready to die, and she expressed this to us many times. An

animal lover herself, she would say, “I would not let an animal suffer like this.

Take me to the vet, I am ready to go.”

At first diagnosis, there is always hope and so there should be. Any illness is a journey with hidden jewels.

My mother’s choice was the chemo and radiation pathway. We all supported ‘her choice’ in this and many new friendships and meetings during this time were forged between my mother and father and cancer support groups, who helped with the daily travel to the hospital. Sadly though, for her weakened elderly body, the drugs succeeded in intensifying her suffering.

We all came to accept her final bout with cancer would be terminal. The first few months of the decline of her illness were a blessing, giving both mum and the family time to accept and prepare for her passing. We knew she was dying, yet we still laughed and talked while Mum was still well enough to engage with us. She still felt loved and supported at home with her family.

But the last four weeks seemed unnecessarily cruel and drawn out. Her loving family found it heart wrenching to watch her painful decline day after day, leaving her a mere skeleton unable to eat, move or speak more than 2-3 words, yet still conscious enough to suffer both physically, mentally and emotionally, while watching her loved ones looking on, helpless to comfort her.

In the last ten days, we all took turns to join my father by her side, ready to offer any moment of comfort.

In the end, she died alone and conscious late one night after a nurse checked in on her. “Is there anything you need Beryl,” the nurse asked. Mum shook her head softly and when the nurse returned ten minutes later, she was gone.

And, we were left with the question: Was her drawn-out suffering necessary?

BACK TO BASICS with your POWERFUL BREATH WORDS RAELENE BYRNE

T

he first thing we all do instinctively when born is to inhale, and take the first gulp of air which signifies our arrival, our soul has landed, earthed and birthed.

We are here, we have inhaled the world into our awareness. The last thing we do before we leave our earthly body is to exhale, and our soul travels with that last breath, there is release, letting go and surrender.

From that first moment of birth, the breath of life travels through us in many inhalations and exhalations, being the quiet witness to how we live, the choices we make, the way we show up. Most of our breathing through life is almost automatic, without regard to the depth of power this life-giving instinct offers.

Our first inhalation and last exhalation define our whole life, a beginning and an end point, yet in each day, every breath can become a whole new lifetime, so our days are filled with opportunities to experience more life, more love, more joy, more peace by

simply connecting to the breath and allowing its wisdom to guide us towards the inner truth of our true self and soul.

We have this incredible tool; for changing any moment in our lives.

The simplicity of the breath is so profound, incredibly transformative, cleansing releasing, altering and powerful in realigning to self.

Most times we forget about it until we become ill, have shortness of breath, are stressed, emotional or have panic or anxiety attacks.

Watch a newborn breathe… it is deep, it expands into the belly, massaging organs via the movement of the diaphragm. As we mature, we become shallow breathers, into the upper chest which results in a cyclic process of stress, which means we have a ‘normal state’ of activity and response.

Stress creates shallow breathing, and shallow breathing creates stress situations in the body. No wonder when we start working with breathing techniques, we feel better and more at peace.

We are often told to take a deep

breath before we attempt something we may have feared, we breathe and count to 10 if feeling stressed or angry, we pant when in pain, count breaths when exercising, focus on the breath in meditation, purposefully slow our breathing to a measured count when panicked or anxious. We have this incredible tool to navigate all parts of our lives, to alter any situation we are in, to build a bridge to something else more aligned.

Each breath carries us from one moment to the next, the thread of life.

Once we start to connect to it regularly, we will see big changes in our lives.

Following the breath cycles, creates a pause which allows us to drop into an inner sanctum of wisdom. We can respond more truthfully, instead of reacting defensively.

Let’s go back to basics, let’s go back to the simplicity of breathing.

Everything begins and ends there… so take a slow deep breath… relax. www.raelenebyrne.com

Client Review:

Tuning the

I

BODY to BLISS

sat in the stillness of my newfound resonance, and felt my heart expand until tears rolled down my cheeks. I knew I was feeling my own true resonance that Shelley Munn was guiding me to experience this day.

Earlier, I had been sceptical about this one-day workshop. However, surprisingly I learnt my illness came from a family curse through my genetic and ancestral line, apparently common, and a traumatic experience from childhood; a medical operation and long-term poor digestion, amongst other things. These were all discords of influence affecting my body, resonating to the wrong frequency, like my cells playing out-of-tune.

I also learnt my soul was under a spell of commercialisation, and karmic binds were infecting my choices, causing blocks in my financial situation and attracting limitation into my life around money and relationships.

Through the intuitive testing I learnt on the day, I knew how to locate the percentage of my cellular blocks of

spells, curses and discords. I could also measure the changes after applying my own unique harmony resonance (tri-tone) through the workshop’s correctional exercises.

During the unique tri-tone chanting resonant corrections, I felt the sensation of my whole body vibrating and expanding. I felt the molecules of my body pull apart and dance in the space, and my reality shifted. Shelley stated this shift is what creates the healing-space for access to a portal of intuitive-knowing, the timeless realm of influence.

Was I in a Tibetan monastery, experiencing divine awakening? I could have been, but I knew I was in Brisbane Bayside, smelling the salt water of the nearby ocean.

Even though everyone’s chants were different, our sounds harmonised.

The resonance we created felt amazing as space expanded, time seemed to dissolve and my body felt formless, free and relaxed. Shelley also highlighted that this is the essence of the healing process.

We then moved into the heart-

resonant exercise and, wow, I caught a glimpse of my own angelic self. I felt so loved beyond what I have ever felt before. At that moment, I intuitively knew this process was beyond conventional forms of healing.

Through this resonant intonation, I felt deep, heart-impressions of intuitive insight about my own health and that of my daughter’s, and knew how to handle the situation with her health issues. I was reeling with gratitude.

Now I knew I could do these harmony resonance correctional exercises for myself with great effect.

I felt my body as an orchestra of cellular-resonance, and I’m now the conductor of my life.

I’m learning to direct these cellular musicians to play harmoniously, dissolving issues, and attracting harmonious life experiences. The impossible has become possible.

Does ‘MAKE UP SEX’ really work?

WORDS JANET McGEEVER

M

ake up sex is a common remedy for relationship issues.

“We had great sex and then everything was better.”

Sex is a huge source of emotion and is often used as a fix-it for emotions. Sure it can work – it can relieve the tension built up by stress or our emotions quite well, but the relief is often short-lived. Why? Two main reasons are emotions and how we have sex.

Emotions are the silent killers in relationships. They are often the reason why we are left standing saying, “Where has the love gone?”

Behind every judgment, every criticism, every unloving act, every unloving word, is an unmet emotion.

A feeling fully felt in the present moment, like grief, anger, frustration, fear, is pure and innocent and can be over quite quickly. But most commonly, these pure feelings can turn sour if we repress or suppress them, or even

project and blame others. Mastering our emotions is a life-long journey.

HOW SEX CAN CAUSE EMOTIONS Woman is the container – she receives and holds. When sex is an emotional and stress release, unfortunately she is the one left holding all that tension. And then we wonder why women are accused of being ‘so emotional’. It can be extremely common for women to feel a growing anger and resentment around sex if she feels her body is being used as a release. But men are also affected.

The spiritual masters tell us that when energy moves downward in the body in discharge, that tension is the by-product or outcome. Conversely, when energy moves upward, as in Tantric sexual practice, the result is silence, contentment and joy.

When men start to bring awareness to ‘after an ejaculation’, they notice that they feel a kind of separation and

resulting emotion (tension), even if subtle.

A slow sex approach, moving away from tension and towards relaxation, away from sensational sex to more sensitivity, will allow the dispersing tension in a more healthy way than releasing it.

But if they are both unaware of the link between emotion and sex, the cycle begins again – getting emotional, finding a way to relieve the emotion/tension, having sex, feeling good for a while and so it goes. Both are left to wade through the murky waters of layers of emotion, without even realising that it may be from the fast and furious passionate romp they had a few days ago.

JANET is a speaker, author and mentor, who supports women and couples to deepen in their intimate relationship. She is presenter of The Making Love Retreat for couples in Australia. She is co-author of the upcoming book, Tantric Sex and Menopause. www.janetmcgeever.com

REST, RECONNECT, REMEMBER WORDS KATE M FOSTER

M

y beloved husband and I have just returned from running our annual retreat in the middle of the Pacific Ocean on a beautiful island in Fiji. By some unknown grace may the peace, healing and joy of island time settle into your being as you read these words.

The days were gentle, slow and brimming with connection. Island time is a deep exhale, a reset button back to what truly matters. From the moment you wake, until your head rests upon your pillow, nourishment wraps you.

Time melts away. There is no need to know what tomorrow may bring, for today is already enough. There is space to remember that I am already enough too. All that is needed for peace to return is that I be willing to learn and discover what precious gifts exist in my heart that wish to make their way out into the world. Somehow by creating

space and caring for me, everything else is taken care of.

I love sharing this special place.

Every time I visit here a part of me heals and remembers the truth. I remember the stillness and peace that always exist in my own heart. I remember that there are times that we all forget what matters most. Carving time out to share this ‘Invitation to Trust Retreat’ is a container that holds me and all the participants with gentle kindness.

We support each other and find our own unique way back to happiness, peace and joy. We share together, remembering that the meaning we yearn for lies here now and nothing more will ever be required for us to take our place as equals in this ocean of life.

Leaving my day-to-day responsibilities and listening to all of those parts of myself that have been desperately wanting my attention, is a

clear doorway to all I yearn for time and time again. I wonder why we are not taught to care for ourselves in this way.

My unwavering intention is to create events and retreats that support others to remember the truth of their hearts.

We are all worthy of living our best lives and each of us carries the responsibility to make this world the place we dream it to be.

Together we must rise up, sharing our gifts for the benefit of all.

So let us dare to leave some space in our lives. Maybe with simplicity, gratitude or other blessings will grow?

What if, like the Fijians, we were slower to move and faster to laugh? Maybe like them, we can each adopt a little more “No worry, no hurry” into our lives and see what unfolds? Take care beautiful people. All love, KMF. www.KateMFoster.com

Foundations for a

VIBRANT LIFE

WORDS TALITHA TALAREK

T

he first steps, the ABCs… depending on your mindset, may be tiny little matters but in reality, it’s the foundations which are of great importance, once we get those right, everything flows.

In ThetaHealing® what is classified as the foundations are the Basic DNA and Advanced DNA ThetaHealing Certification Courses.

With every class, no matter what a person’s prior experience, there is great relief when they remember how easeful it is to tap into and utilise their birthright.

There is a return of innocence, a playfulness, a sense of peace and wonderment.

There’s a deep realisation that we are all co-creators of our reality – and therefore what we have created.

Allowing ourselves to be open while digging deep in a supportive space, is truly encouraging, but to execute the simplicity, it’s a total A-HA!!!

I remember quite vividly taking my first course, Basic DNA; it was a life changer. I was already in a space of

curiosity, on a journey of self-discovery, figuring out the ways in which life and energy worked… You know like, “did I just manifest that? Or did I just psychically know of it before it happened?” I definitely believed in the soul’s continuation after the ‘death of the human body’ as mediumship was nothing new to me. The mind and its power had me interested since my preteens and I’d often been to spiritualist churches and meditation groups and read countless books (you know how you get guided to places or books for specific messages?)… so I was clearly open to a degree.

But it was in taking the ThetaHealing Foundation Courses, which helped me gain true perspective, great clarity, and discernment. It taught me to have a healthy control and balance on my psychic abilities (phew!! no more blowing light bulbs) while expanding upon them – without fear or wanting to shut it down. And most significantly, I learnt how to heal really quickly at a deep level.

I learnt to simplify my life and the

way in which I did things – yet with greater results.

The crystals and cards took a back seat, while my connection direct with source took precedence.

It’s the purity and the simplicity which helps to truly aid our growth, without all of the ‘brain candy’ and knowing we can have increased psychic senses and still be able to live in the world we live in without going into hiding.

Understanding our connection with the creator and getting that communication going, is truly the basis of everything.

Once the ‘veil’ has lifted, our mind stretches; life gains an incredible soul depth to it. Understanding ourselves and others with compassion increases.

In ThetaHealing, we go back to basics; to our natural selves, which then sees us progress in all areas of life.

We are more than our physical body! Are you ready to understand your sixth sense? www.evolvewitheta.com

An emotional forecast based on your

PERSONAL LIFE PATH NUMBER

WORDS JULES O’NEILL

B

ecause it is awesome!

It will assist and guide you to walk the path of your heart and higher mind. And where life is about freedom, choice, abundance, growth, love, and gratitude. It’s a life all of us desire for ourselves and each other.

It will help you move through and manage times of emotional stress well. Offer you suggestions on how to communicate compassionately, authentically and openly with yourself and others. And give you ways to create more emotional harmony within yourself and your home, especially in the wobbly times.

For many of us, the path of our heart and higher mind triggers internal emotional stress, with varied intensities and times. Sometimes emotional stress can hit you right out of the blue, and sometimes you sense it coming.

The reason for this is because the path of the heart and higher mind will continually grow you out of your comfort zones. Unfold your life purpose, your joy, your dreams and

what you truly value and believe in.

What’s happening is your heart and higher mind are calling you in a direction. A great direction! However, your internal conditioned belief systems are blocking this. You either have an old outdated limiting belief that no longer serves you, or you do not have a newly updated belief that supports this direction.

Your emotional stress can be transformed into conscious clarity and a deeper level of self-awareness with your monthly emotional forecast based on your life path number.

What is an emotional forecast?

Each month, you will receive a relatable emotional forecast for the month ahead. It’s an MP3 designed to give you emotional self-awareness.

The idea is that you will be able to help yourself in times when you feel emotionally wobbly, make choices that add value to your life and move through emotional stress with conscious clarity. It will help you emotionally prepare yourself for the month ahead,

by giving you an emotion to focus on and what to avoid. This will contribute possible solutions and directions for any emotionally challenging days.

You also will receive what reactions to be aware of and what actions to choose instead. As well as, clues as to the big “why is this happening to me?” spiritual reason! It’s so soothing to know the ‘why’ from a spiritual, nonjudgmental, uplifting point of view.

How do you get it and work out your personal life path number?

Easy! Visit my website, go to the memberships page, click on the Crystal Membership, and you will see a table to enter in your full birth date. Your life path number will come up and give you access to sample a taster of your emotional forecast.

This idea is you listen to it often throughout the month, and especially in the times of emotional stress. It will give you clarity and focus you are able to relate with. www.julesoneill.com

Dental care for your total wellbeing!

We are holistic dentists because we recommend the treatment that will be right for your body.

It means that in everything we do we consider the impact of it on your body and use only materials and procedures accordingly.

For example, when we are removing amalgam we use a rubber dam, high speed suction and an IQair air purifier so you don’t swallow any of the material or breathe in any of the mercury vapour.

It’s the dentistry for you if you care about your total wellbeing.

The many benefits of

OZONE SAUNAS

WORDS CAROLINE CARTER

T

he use of a sauna is an important part of any detoxification program. The sauna increases the eliminative, detoxifying and cleansing capacity of the skin by stimulation of the sweat glands and also promotes healthy skin tone and texture due to increased blood circulation. Using an FIR sauna with ozone opens the pores, which allows the ozone through the skin to the bloodstream, where it can travel to the fat and lymph tissue.

To stay healthy or regain your health, it is very important to cleanse the lymph tissue of toxins. The ozone/FIR sauna is the easiest and most pleasant way to accomplish this.

The combined action of deep heat and ozone cleans the lymphatic system, which carries 90% of the body’s fluids.

Ozone brings oxygen to the tissues for enhanced health and vitality. The combination of FIR heat and ozone is a natural, effective way to promote a refreshing sense of well-being.

BENEFITS INCLUDE: Excretion of toxic heavy metals that are otherwise bound to our cells.

Relaxation and loosening of muscles by reducing the build-up of lactic acid and increasing muscle flexibility.

Oxidises toxins so they can be eliminated through the skin, lungs, kidneys and colon.

Boosts blood circulation, helping injured muscles to repair quicker.

Aids in elimination of bacterial and viral infections of all kinds.

Speeds up the metabolic processes of the inner organs and endocrine glands resulting in a loss of 200-450 calories in a 20-minute session.

Provides rapid relief from joint pain.

Enhances cellular rehydration and tissue renewal.

Ozone saunas break down petrochemicals. These chemicals have the potential to place a great burden on the immune system. They also worsen

and even cause allergies and are detrimental to your long-term health.

PROMOTES FAST AND PERMANENT LOSS OF WEIGHT AND CELLULITE Every toxin that has not been expelled from the body is surrounded by a fat globule. This is done to prevent the toxin poisoning the whole system.

Most of these toxins are deposited in soft tissue and are unable to leave unless oxidised. These fat globules are called cellulite. It may be difficult to rid the body of cellulite unless the toxin is removed first. The ozone sauna easily oxidises these toxins, expelling them from the body. The body now has no reason for keeping the fat which disappears on the toxin’s release.

Clients on our Cyprus retreat receive an FIR/ozone sauna 6 days a week and a 5-month supply of Anti-Lyme tincture comprising a variety of herbal ingredients. www.healthyhealingcy.com

How ENERGY SUPPORTS the BODY to HEAL ITSELF WORDS MONICA WILLIAMS

H

aving worked in holistic healthcare for over 25 years, I have engaged in a smorgasbord of modalities and courses – physical, psychological, orthomolecular, genetic, spiritual and energetic – determined to find that one thing that seemed to elude me, the modality that would help my clients deeply shift, giving them the best opportunity to heal. Brought together under the umbrella of naturopathy, this ongoing search for deeper meaning has kept me searching.

What I have deduced from this arduous journey, is that healing ultimately comes back to one thing – energy. It is the one thing most influenced by our thoughts, feelings, habits, behaviours, genetics, nutrition, diet, expectations and purpose. It is impacted by, and impacts upon, everything we experience in life. It is the main thing lagging when we are ill, unhappy or struggling. It also determines how well and how quickly we heal.

Could this be because we ARE

energy? A mass of vibrating molecules in a quantum field of space. Energy, coalesced into matter, moulded by alterations in frequency and vibration.

The result of the unseen subatomic world hiding in quantum physics; all expressions of energy.

I realised that my life of searching was taking me full circle. It all started with a Reiki course at 18 years old; now at 48, I work with the next generation of energy medicine, Reconnective Healing and The Reconnection.

This work has brought about results like no other modality I have used or experienced. It touches people at a level that nutrition and intellectual concepts could never reach.

The Reconnection® is a twosession process that seems to meet people where they are, and empowers them with this higher bandwidth of frequencies. Offering resources that support not just a renewal and restoration of the human energy system, but what seems to be an alignment with the heart and soul of the person.

How? I don’t know. All I know is that the results I have seen have been breathtaking. At the end of their session, the first thing people often say is “wow”, or “that was amazing”. I have rarely heard that at the end of a naturopathic visit.

The changes filter through and unfold for the person over the weeks and months following the session.

Originally brought to the world by Dr Eric Pearl, an American chiropractor who received the Reconnective Healing energies in his own unusual way, Reconnective Healing and The Reconnection are now being taught worldwide, changing the lives of many, many people.

The goal of any modality is ultimately to support the body to heal itself. It makes sense to use energy to support this process.

As Einstein said in the 1920s: “Everything is energy, and energy is everything, that’s all there is to it.” www.monicawilliams.com.au

AUTHENTICALLY FENG SHUI WORDS DAPHNE FUNG

I

n this age of modern technologies, it is wise to get back to basics in order to understand fully how energies affect us. We all know how good it can be to receive a beautiful session and receive these energies and we can also find ways where the energies in our home or office can contribute to us as well.

Fengu Shui is an ageless art form that re-aligns or corrects any energetic imbalances in our surroundings like our homes/offices. We are affected by our body’s internal environment with regards to our health, as well as our external environment in our home, either positively or negatively.

It is not possible to re-build our homes or change our work place

your home or environment

in order to re-calibrate the energies emitting from these places. So Feng Shui is the next best thing in order to correct energies that are either stuck, stale or just not flowing to create abundance in our lives.

Sometimes we may even feel ‘off’, and it could be due to incorrect energy flow in our surroundings.

The wonderful thing about this concept is that everything can be corrected or re-balanced with simple ‘remedies’ or merely understanding how to make these corrections. There are many theories for Feng Shui which can be confusing. Teaching basic, simple techniques about Feng Shui is offered at my healing centre.

It is not enough to just treat our

human body for physical ailments, it is up to each one of us to create wonderful vortexes of positive energies spinning around our homes or work places in order to create harmony with all.

Holistic health is encompassing the health of the physical as well as our living environment. By balancing our environment, it is creating inner and outer harmony in our world.

When we Feng Shui the home or work place, our environment becomes a beacon of light shining, always directing a positive flow of energies toward us; thereby allowing abundance to be created at all times.

For the next Feng Shui Workshop visit www.daphnefungshealingcentre.com

The demands and pressures of this busy life can cause us to feel overwhelmed, overloaded, stressed, worried, anxious, and alone.

Conducted over two sessions, The Reconnection is an activation process that reconnects and energises the soul lines of the body. In the weeks after their sessions, people commonly report: • feeling revitalised, activated, grounded; more able to manifest what they need most.

• a strong sense of clarity, a rise in drive, motivation and direction.

• a level of healing they struggled to achieve previously.

• a significant acceleration in spiritual growth, moving them into a deeper connection with their intuitive self.

For more on this and the science behind it, please visit the website or call.

How to be

PRESENT AND AWARE

WORDS SALLY PRICE

I

t is popular these days to extol the benefits of living in the present.

There are probably as many ideas of how to do this, as there are people talking about it.

For this reason, it is wise to examine the credentials of your teachers and test their advice carefully. After all, it is our mind that we are dealing with and, as most of us that are walking a spiritual path come to understand, ‘everything comes from the mind’.

When choosing a particular spiritual path, we can trace it historically, if it is old enough. For example, some of the traditions of Buddhism connect the lineage of a teaching through reincarnation as well as from master to student.

There is a series of teachings called Dzogchen which can be traced back over centuries. Dzogchen is about discovering our real nature which is pure and perfected. Today, there are some teachers of Dzogchen who have students around the world and the International Dzogchen Community

is led by Tibetan master and scholar, Chögyal Namkhai Norbu.

The Australian Community has its centre at the Glass House Mountains on the Sunshine Coast in Queensland and in November we will be holding a retreat where there will be an introduction to the state of Dzogchen and everyone is welcome to attend.

The theme of ‘Presence and Awareness’ will be experienced through both stillness and movement. These two states are not necessarily dualistic and when we become more anchored in the present, fully aware of all that our senses are experiencing, we can be present in both stillness and movement.

Our teacher has given his students a variety of different ways to become more present and aware. There are meditation and chanting practices, contemplative dance on a coloured mandala, energetic and joyful Khaita – a form of Tibetan dance and Yantra Yoga.

Yantra Yoga comes from ancient tantric traditions in Tibet and has been

Raelene Byrne

Medicine for your Spirit

passed from master to student in an unbroken lineage for many centuries.

The Yantra exercises, which engage all three aspects of our body, voice (or energy) and mind, promote profound relaxation.

The focus of Yantra Yoga is not on perfecting the positions, but on how smooth and mindful our breathing is while we are doing the movements.

Hence we can harmonise our energy, or prana which is important for our physical and mental health and we can learn how to relax, in a deep and profound way.

Being relaxed is the gateway to experiencing presence and awareness in our lives. It’s pretty hard to be fully in the moment if you are stressing about the meeting tomorrow or agonising over past failures.

For anyone interested in a more relaxed way to live life, you are very welcome to join us. Visit www.dzogchen.org.au to find out more about the retreat, from 10-14 November, 2017 at 206 Glass House Woodford Road, Beerburrum.

Ask Linda Willow

n 2009 my world was shaken by a lifechallenging diagnosis. What followed has been a journey through highs and lows as I embarked on a quest to make myself whole. No stone was left unturned as I explored nutritional, emotional, relationship and spiritual pathways.

Understanding that my anxiety and self-doubt were an obstacle to my healing, I set about identifying and releasing limiting beliefs and fears that inhibited my self-trust and caused me to feel stuck and overwhelmed.

Building on my existing knowledge of holistic wellness as a Bowen therapist, kinesiologist and spiritual healer, I studied to become an holistic health coach, EFT and Matrix Reimprinting practitioner. These tools have been invaluable in releasing barriers and creating lasting transformation.

I am grateful for every moment of my journey that has challenged me to expand my knowledge and transform limiting beliefs and fears to experience joy, peace and a sense of true wellness. I am passionate about supporting others to gain a deeper understanding of the body/mind connection to wellness. And also to help them discover what wellness means to them and overcome their personal barriers to living a healthy inspired life! ‘Wellness My Way’ is not a ‘one size fits all’ approach, it’s all about finding what works for YOU!

Are you taking on

SOMEONE ELSE’S ILLNESS?

WORDS JANE TREDREA

T

aking on someone else’s illness is a real thing. As a healer I have personally taken on lots of other people’s physical illnesses.

I was recently studying in Sydney and working on a man who had Lyme’s Disease. The consciousness of Lyme’s Disease is ‘nothing works for me’.

I went home and the next day had a fever and a virus, I did my usual energetic healing techniques to no avail. So I resorted to taking a natural supplement which kills all viruses very quickly.

I felt worse the next day and couldn’t go in to my study course for two days. I ended up resorting to Panadol but to my surprise, it did nothing for my fever, I just felt even worse.

I called the teacher’s wife who was taking the course and told her I was sick and nothing was working for me. She said, “Is that yours?” A very valuable question! She asked who I was working on in the last session of class and it dawned on me. I took on this man’s illness and now I had the consciousness of ‘nothing works for me’. Bingo. I got over this illness rapidly and was at class the next day because everything worked for me again.

HEMPOTHECARY – from royalty

to rock stars – a family history

WORDS STEPHEN PARKA

I

t’s October 21st, 1805 and King George III is the ruling King of England. Napoleon Bonaparte is assembling a fleet for the invasion of England, but the French Fleet is defeated at the Battle of Trafalgar by Vice-Admiral Horatio Nelson, 1st Viscount Nelson, 1st Duke of Bronté KB, a British flag officer in the Royal Navy.

Did you know one of the most instrumental botanicals of the battle was the humble hemp plant (Cannabis Sativa L.). Fast forward to October 2006, Queen Elizabeth II paid tribute to the role played by Latvian hemp in the Battle of Trafalgar. “British ships at that time were waterproofed with pitch from Riga, rigged with ropes of hemp from Riga, and their masts were of pine from Riga,” the Queen told dignitaries at a state banquet held in her honour in the Latvian capital.

The Latvian hemp farm ‘Kanepes’ was most renowned for its hemp fields, providing fibre to the royal family for generations.

Melanie Leontine, creator of Cannopathy.com Therapeutic-Grade Hemp Oils, Queensland Hemp Museum and the Hempothecary clinic/store in Montville, Queensland is the direct descendant of the Kanepes hemp farming family.

On February 28th, 2015 celebrities from around the globe gathered in Australia for a major music festival event and to meet with Melanie and her family for their samples of Cannopathy oil and Mr Hempy goodies.

Cannopathy prides itself on testing on A-Listers and not animals.

Some of the VIPs gathered up their Cannopathy oils while others took a liking to the Mr Hempy products on offer (with Slash from Guns N’ Roses sporting a fabulous Mr Hempy. com shirt). From assisting sleep issues through to relieving pain problems and even hair and beauty solutions, the trials were a success and the Latvian hemp lineage continues to grow and bloom from over the seas in beautiful Queensland, Australia.

PUBLISHING BUSINESS with heart

W

hite Light Publishing House was first established in 2014, and is rapidly growing into a popular choice for both experienced and aspiring authors and artists to publish their work. They are certainly not your ‘ordinary’ publisher, and it likely has a lot to do with the mother and daughter team behind this unique publishing house.

Founder, Christie Lyons, is mother of a teenager and two young children, and also directs her spiritual-based business, White Light for the Soul.

Previously a childcare centre director, she has several years’ experience in

early childhood education, and is passionate about children’s rights and emotional well-being. After Christie miscarried in late 2012, she was seeking answers and came across a book called ‘The Visitor’ by Karen McDermott.

Her passion for writing was reignited after reading this book, as was her wish to reconnect with her spiritual self. She studied tarot, wrote, read and researched everything she could. Some deep, inner work followed, as did the birth of her son, Nate. After Nate was born with a congenital heart defect, Christie decided to leave her career in childcare to become a stay-at-home Mum. Reading tarot, energy healing, writing and publishing became her fulltime job.

In early 2016, Christie and her mother, Lauren, went on a life-changing trip to Nepal. Whilst there, they met some amazing locals, and in particular, connected with the owner of a lodge in Pokhara who was starting a charity to rebuild a local school that had been damaged in the 2015 earthquakes.

White Light Publishing House immediately jumped on board to help, and continues to support Education Earthquake Nepal, which provides local children with the education they

so deserve. In addition to viewing the stunning scenery, and making some incredible new friends, Christie and Lauren were also blessed to play a part in reuniting a father with his son after eleven long years, through a chance meeting with the father in a small town, which is a whole other story in itself.

Their visit to this beautiful country was just the beginning of a major shift in both of these ladies’ life directions.

After this trip, White Light Publishing House grew exponentially – to the point where there was too much work for one person, and so Lauren resigned from her full-time corporate career to become Christie’s business partner and assist with the workload. Since then, the business has continued to expand in ways they could never have imagined possible. White Light Publishing House has now released over 40 titles, and have an incredible family of authors on board, which is growing every day.

Whether it’s through helping an author or artist to become published, their humanitarian work, or by sharing the books and oracle cards they publish, ultimately, the goal of what White Light provides is to contribute to healing the world through compassion and love. www.whitelightpublishing.com.au

Cluttered space =

CLUTTERED MIND!

WORDS SONYA DRIVER

I

recently had a conversation with a close friend and the same words came out of her mouth that I’ve been hearing for over ten years!

“I just gotta sort all this sh** out.”

I said, “Mandy (name politely changed) you have been telling me that for ten years, every single week!” Then came the same excuses and deflecting etc.

This is the kindest way to say this… she is a hoarder and it is stealing her joy and her time! She is constantly shuffling piles from one side to the other.

I have so many friends and family members that are hoarders. I have cleaned out their stuff and hired people to help move the mountains. It doesn’t last long… and it was painful for them to part with anything.

I will be honest I am the complete opposite and sometimes I have to rebuy things I have moved on.

I spoke to a wonderful psychologist Susan Mellor on the Gold Coast to get her take on what’s behind the hoarding of ‘stuff’… the thinking, the fears, etc, and here’s what she had to say.

“Hoarding does come in many degrees ranging from clutter to extreme hoarding. It is often associated with grief, anxiety and OCD. There is help – an FSG – family support group on the Gold Coast for instance, is trained to assist and manage the

WHY ARE WE SO

Different?

discomfort around de-cluttering and help with relaxation techniques. A proper diagnosis and treatment plan is needed with this disorder and Cognitive Behaviour Therapy is where you reframe unhelpful thoughts, to help you become freer.”

I get so frustrated as I can see how STUFF is hurting so many people. Even at my two warehouses, I recycle and make my staff de-clutter all the time.

They call me cyclone Sonya! Hoarding seriously stops energy and creates chaos in the mind.

With such a disposable society, we can all aim to keep it simple. I’m taking a U-turn and going back to basics.

Simple food. Simple clothes. Realistic expectations. How bloody good does it feel to have a big clean-out!!?

SELF-CARE SECRETS WORDS KIM MORRISON

G

three main areas to address. The mind, the body and the skin. Every small but important decision you make can affect your health.

For example, it is a known fact that most women expose themselves to over 200 chemicals a day through their personal care products alone.

But regardless of how many fads, diets, ingredients or varied opinions, there are some self-care basics that most holistic health therapists, experts, coaches and scientists generally agree on in relation to self-care.

The list may seem pretty straightforward, even basic, yet many struggle to adhere to it.

• Choose whole, real and natural foods over refined processed ones • SLOW eating is not a phenomena – eat seasonal, local, organic and whole food where you can • Aim to eat a combination of fresh vegetables at each meal • Reduce your sugar intake, including raw treats • Look after your gut, fermented foods can be a wonder food for many

ood health and wellbeing doesn’t happen by itself. Sure, there are some people with genetics to die for who seem to be able to eat, drink and do anything they like.

But we all know a lack of self-care soon catches up. The reality is good health isn’t just about how you look – it’s about how you feel and most importantly, having awareness.

To be healthy these days, it seems you need a degree in psychology, science, nutrition and exercise. There is so much information, so much marketing and advertising, it can be difficult to ascertain what is hype and what is reality.

With so much overwhelm, the key is to keep it simple. Get back to basics.

And above all do not believe everything you read, see or hear.

For example will a cream honestly eradicate wrinkles in seven days? Does a chocolate spread on white bread, really seem like a healthy sandwich for your children? Will eating meat make your baby an Einstein?

To be healthy and happy there are

• Drink plenty of clean water each day • Supplement wisely, know what you are taking and what you need it for.

• Move your body regularly and include exercise that raises your heart rate for at least twenty minutes; aim for three times a week.

• Include weight bearing and strength enhancing exercise – this could be yoga, the gym, even incidental exercise like maintaining your home with housework and gardening • Rejuvenate your mental and physical health with good quality sleep • Manage your stress levels, know when to ask for help • Practise mindfulness, take a moment at least a few times a day with meditation, being present and aware • Practise simple daily self-care rituals using essential oils, like a lavender bath, a lemon and pine inhalation, spritzing with frankincense or diffusing oils like neroli, chamomile, orange and geranium for a stress-free environment. www.twenty8.com

DIY BOTANICAL PERFUMES WORDS NARELLE CHENERY

M

ost of us are aware that we should be avoiding any consumer product that contains synthetic fragrances. They’re toxic for us, and toxic for the environment. But we all want to smell nice, right?

Whilst we may not be able to formulate our own Chanel NO 5 with a few essential oils, we will be able to create our own, non-toxic, totally unique fragrance that could become our signature scent! One of the most common ways to formulate a personal fragrance is by composing a balance of essential oils using three different categories based on oil evaporation rates: top, middle and base notes.

TOP NOTES (10-30% of your blend) introduce the perfume and are usually thin and mobile, with uplifting, refreshing and fleeting attributes.

Examples of top notes: bergamot, cinnamon, clary sage, eucalyptus, grapefruit, lemon, lime, mandarin,

orange, peppermint, petitgrain, spearmint, tangerine, tea tree.

MIDDLE NOTES (30-60% of your blend) are usually full-bodied, complex, and comprise the theme or focal point of the blend. Examples of middle notes: black pepper, cardamom, clary sage, chamomile, cinnamon, cypress, fir balsam, geranium, ginger, helichrysum, jasmine, lavender, lemongrass, neroli, rose, rosemary, tonka bean, ylang ylang.

BASE NOTES (20-40% of the blend) are the foundation on which the perfume is built and are dense, heavy, strong, deep, tenacious, and supportive (some with fixative qualities).

Examples of base notes: agarwood, Peru balsam, cedarwood, cistus, clove, cocoa, frankincense, labdanam, myrrh, oakmoss, orris root, patchouli, sandalwood, spikenard, tobacco, vanilla, vetiver, violet leaf.

DILUTION – Dilute them in a carrier and let them infuse for a week or two

before using: Alcohol base perfume (vodka): 5-25% concentration. Oil base perfume (jojoba is best): 15-30% concentration.

STORAGE AND PRESERVATION – The aromatic compounds in perfumes denature and break down if improperly stored in the presence of heat, light, and oxygen. Perfumes are best preserved when kept in their original packaging when not in use, and refrigerated.

To give you a kick start, below are the base formulas I used when formulating my Miessence Botanical Perfumes.

Floral – Soft, floral, and romantic.

Oriental – Enchanting, sensual and exotic.

Citrus – Tangy, fresh and uplifting.

Gourmand – Divinely decadent and dulcet.

Chypre – Vibrant, earthy and green.

Fougere – Warm, sensual and elegant. www.miessence.com

NATURAL ANIMAL CARE

Do you look like your furry friend?

WORDS THERESA ELMES

H

ave you noticed some animals and their owners look alike?

Have you noticed too, they often seem to share character and personality traits? There’s something about the way animals and their guardians are, around each other, which makes them seem alike. How can this be?

Aside from getting the same style of haircut or wearing half their fur on your clothes, there’s some brain activity that could be a clue. Animals and humans possess mirror neurons. Mirror neurons are particularly active when an individual visually observes or is otherwise aware of a purposeful or goal-orientated action, say by sound, touch, smell or other ways. Which means awareness, and mirror neurons, can be activated when an activity is carried out in a location other than which the ‘recipient’ of the awareness is.

Mirror neurons are also anticipatory and when what they anticipate gets confirmed, there’s a sort of “Yeah, touch down!” congratulate yourself moment, and that data gets filed away for reference. This process contributes to building self and other awareness, as well as our relationships and interactions within a network or environment.

To put this in the context of animals and their guardians looking alike, we add in quality of social interaction with a social network. In familial and social networks, animals included, we define quality through a sense of connection, acceptance and love, particularly when it’s unconditional. A successful social interaction or social bonding triggers a release of endorphins – those feel good hormones associated with joy, happiness and love. Endorphins help biochemical bonding with one another.

As we don’t use a common spoken language with animals, it’s clear that quality and complexity of relationship is therefore not word dependent. Rather, it relies on things like touch, look, smell, intonation of vocalisation, and body language. That’s right – the same things mirror neurons can be triggered by, when

Theresa’s Animal Alchemy Using heart and soul to enhance interspecies respect, connection, appreciation and understanding.

accompanied by purposeful action.

As stated earlier, mirror neuron awareness is elastic and not location dependent. When combined with a successful social bonding, there exists between biochemically bonded individuals a stronger energetic resonance or morphic field than between strangers. We are more consciously aware of one another and seek to enhance our endorphin bliss through behaving in ways that provide that reward. In doing things that make us all happy, we might behave similarly.

Combined with research indicating mental, physical and emotional states of health are contagious amongst members of a social network, we have a recipe for physically looking, behaving and seeming very much like our animal companions. This is great news because quality of social interaction is said to be a greater predictor of happiness and longevity than diet and exercise. Creating and enjoying quality social interaction with animals in your network will therefore influence your happiness and longevity, and theirs too.

NATURAL ANIMAL CARE

Our animal friends are more than just pets!

I

f you’re male and you own an animal friend, you may be interested to know that your chances of attracting the opposite sex are 30 percent higher than a male who doesn’t! And the news gets better. If you’re male and you actually bought your friend from an animal shelter, then you’re practically assured of never having to spend another lonely night in front of the TV comforted only by beer, pizza and of course the forementioned snoring shelter pooch.

These romantic incentives for pet owners were discovered as part of a mini survey that attempted to investigate the ‘pulling power’ of pets. It was good news for pet owners, particularly males. But in reality, surveys about the benefits of pets have been ongoing and these days science is starting to back up what many previously regarded as animal lovers’ hearsay.

A Baker Medical Research Institute study showed that animal owners had cholesterol levels 2% lower than those without pets. Not world shattering, but when you consider that this can lower your chances of having a heart attack by 4%, well worth considering.

Animal owners also had lower levels of

triglyceride fats in their blood and lower blood pressure.

Some of the other findings in recent surveys in the United States and the UK are also worthy of note, although most won’t come as any huge surprise.

People who own dogs tend to exercise more and be more socially interactive. Being a conscientious dog owner means that at the very least you’ll take your dog for a walk once a day and probably twice. Many senior people live alone and their daily dog walks not only get them out of the house, they also increase their opportunities to chat with neighbours and other animal owners.

However many elderly people refrain from taking on a pet because they’re worried about their pets’ care if they get sick and have to go to hospital. RSPCA Qld has introduced a program to assist elderly pet owners and/or those coping with poor health. When hospitalisation is required and there is no one to look after the patient’s pets, RSPCA Qld may be able to help through their Pet Legacy Program.

Through this Program, which has helped hundreds of people across Queensland, elderly folk can enjoy the

companionship of animals, in their homes, right until the end. They can have peace of mind knowing that, should an emergency occur, the staff and volunteers from RSPCA Qld will be there to help and to care for their pets.

In the event of the owner’s death, RSPCA Qld will ensure that the pets will go on to have the best possible quality of life with very carefully selected guardians.

So enjoy time with your animal friends, they are such a gift!

Temple Moon

Flower Power 4 Pure Love

ARTISTS Terry Oldfield and Soraya

AUTHOR Beth Bell

This CD has inspired me to get back into my regular yoga classes!

‘Temple Moon’ is the captivating new creation from internationally acclaimed singers/ songwriters/ musicians Terry Oldfield and Soraya. I felt relaxed right from the first track, with Terry’s magical flute that has his signature resonate, heart-opening quality, followed by the soothing, nurturing vocals and mantras from Soraya. There are also a variety of other musical instruments featured throughout the CD which add to the overall meditative quality. Soraya and Terry recorded ‘Temple Moon’ from their home studio ‘Mangalam’ on the Sunshine Coast and these inspired songs allow you to take some time out to turn within and listen to your inner wisdom.

Ever heard of flower whispering? Beth Bell has an amazing gift of being able to commune with flowers and share their heartopening wisdom. Beth started her journey as a flower whisperer after she bought a new camera in Hawaii many years ago and felt a calling to capture the beauty of nature which connected her not only with the energy of different flowers but also her true nature. I was fortunate to connect with Beth when she was recently in Australia and receive her beautiful book which I took into the bush in the first week of spring, where I was transported to a place within of pure bliss. I was inspired by the four life lessons of flowers written with simple, yet profound words next to each exquisite photograph. This book is a great facilitation and allows you to put life into perspective and feel more connected with yourself and the Universe. Beth’s book is pollinating the planet with love! She is the creator of Blossom Bliss based in Bali and you can also listen to the Beth Bell Show on Voice America.
