hen I reflect on this month’s topic – ‘women’s well-being’, and read all the articles from our contributors, I’m reminded of all the stages and phases of our lives as women. Our first period can be a rite of passage, yet there are still so many aspects of growing into womanhood and our connection can grow way deeper with ourselves and others right through menopause and beyond if we so choose.

An ongoing conversation I have with my fellow women friends, my soul sistas, is the challenge around desiring to give to others, while creating meaningful connections and not feeling depleted in the process. We do this by acknowledging

‘FOLLOW YOUR BLISS’

our caring, kind nature and directing care towards ourselves as well. Sometimes it’s about saying ‘no’ to requests and saying ‘yes’ to that cup of tea on our own for 20 minutes, or that hot bath with essential oils when the body is aching and the days have been long (or insert here whatever is fun or nurturing for you).

How do we keep that commitment to ourselves and support each other to do that? It’s actually more than just self-care.

It’s self-care with a desire to break out of the old roles and create the life that is truly authentic to our spirit.

What it means to be a woman, is unique to each of us and yet there are commonalties too. We don’t have to accept a role for ourselves defined by Hollywood movies, or the media, we are way more than that! And what if our wellbeing is enhanced by not having to define ourselves, instead, we can just be it!

Serves 2-4 PASTA 2 large zucchinis ½ cup of kelp noodles Wash, peel and cut zucchini into half lengthways; place each piece into the spiralizer using fine spaghetti setting.

Turn handle until spaghetti is formed, repeat for each piece and then place in a large bowl. Wash and soak kelp noodles for half an hour. When sauce is made massage some into the noodles.

Combine with spaghetti and set aside.

1½ cups button mushrooms finely sliced 6 cherry tomatoes chopped in half ¼ cup olive oil 2 tbsp balsamic vinegar Finely slice mushrooms and place in a flat dish together with diced sundried tomatoes and cherry tomatoes.

Combine oil and vinegar, toss with mushrooms and tomatoes, set aside.

1-2 garlic cloves ¼ cup lemon juice 1 tsp Celtic or Himalayan salt Place all ingredients in blender until creamy and then pour ingredients onto spaghetti, toss gently.

FOOD FOR THE SOUL

Could your

hormonal issues and gut problems be linked?

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

HOW GUT MICROBES INFLUENCE YOUR ESTROGEN LEVELS You probably know that the bacteria in your gut is responsible in many ways for maintaining your overall health. However you probably didn’t know that a certain set of your gut bacteria – known as the estrobolome – is responsible for one very important hormonal function in the female body; and that is, metabolising estrogen.

Do you bloat and get uncomfortable cramping around that time of the month? Bloating is usually the first sign that your estrobolome might be imbalanced. And many other hormonal issues that women face – such as acne flare-ups, a spare tyre around your midsection, and a low libido – can all be signs that your estrobolome is imbalanced. Put simply, if your microbiome is out of whack, it’s very possible that you won’t be metabolising estrogen as effectively as you should be, which results in a variety of hormonerelated struggles. I can tell you that I

get quite a few clients coming in for a colonic in the days just before their period every month, and they swear that it dramatically reduces the bloating and cramping they used to endure. So improving your gut microbiome can certainly hold the key to providing relief from the monthly hormonal problems you face.

YOUR MICROBIOME IS DIFFERENT TO A MAN’S MICROBIOME It’s a futile exercise comparing your digestive symptoms to a man’s because your microbiome is often fundamentally different. Ever been frustrated that the man in your life goes to the toilet like clockwork, yet you’re struggling with constipation? Well for one thing, your microbiome can shift with your cycle, bringing about changes to your regularity. Additionally, the complex and diverse bacterial population that makes up your gut microbiome, can be heavily influenced by a number of female-only products, such as perfumes, make-up and birth control medication.

WHAT CAN I DO TO GET HORMONAL AND DIGESTIVE RELIEF? As the saying goes, we are what we eat and absorb. If your microbiome and estrobolome are out of whack, it makes sense to focus on two areas: reduce those things that are contributing to the problem, and promote things that can help heal your gut. Tips for the former include: finding alternative birth control solutions to the pill, avoiding antibiotic use where possible, swapping your make-up and perfume for natural alternatives, and avoiding known food triggers that contribute to bloating and inflammation such as: wheat, dairy and refined sugars. Tips to help heal your gut include: finding a good quality probiotic to help crowd out bad bacteria, eating a diet rich in prebiotic fibres to feed your beneficial bacteria, and cleansing your colon with colonic hydrotherapy in the lead-up to (and during) menstruation to help promote balance and alleviate hormonal symptoms. www.sunshinecolonics.com.au

FOOD FOR THE SOUL

How to avoid

health bankruptcy

WORDS ANNIE CLARK, Lifestyle Wellness Consultant

I

like to look at ‘day-to-day experiences’ as either deposits or withdrawals into our ‘wellness bank account’. Any positive health contribution like a walk in the sunshine, freshly squeezed juice, leafy green salads, and breathing deeply with awareness, is a form of positive currency. As we make these healthy deposits, we must be mindful of the withdrawals that can force us into ‘health bankruptcy’. What do they look like, and how often do they show up in a day?

Suffering from stress, late nights, not getting enough quality sleep, eating too many cooked or denatured meals, spending too much time in front of a computer, feeling bitter or resentful, not living passionately or purposefully, can trigger the withdrawals I’m talking about. Without question, these negative emotions or physical experiences will take a significant toll on your ‘wellness account’. I know this for a fact, as I have experienced health bankruptcy at one time or another.

Here’s the good news: by carefully

analysing your daily wellness deposits you can change the balance.

When people come to see me, I don’t beat them up for their dietary or lifestyle indiscretions, especially when I find out they are proactive in other ways like exercising or enjoying a laugh, not taking themselves too seriously and thinking outside the box. When I see the openness of my client, I know this person is going to have a magnificent wellness account. No fees attached!

At our Lifestyle Reset Retreats we go into this more deeply. Just like there are all sorts of monetary bank accounts, there are also different ‘wellness accounts’. Some of our wellness accounts will require constant monitoring, others are a bit like term deposits – ‘quiet, regular lifestyle activities’ that don’t even require measurement which are stored away in these term deposits.

I’ve created a checklist that I mentally refer to, on a daily basis to make sure I’m keeping my account topped up.

Here are just some of the deposits and withdrawals that exist from day to day.

Deposits: Walking in sunshine, green drink, freshly squeezed juice, deep conscious breathing, stretching and posture check, feeling grateful, laughing – smiling, learning something new, gardening and planting, essential oils (intelligent use), loving, adventure, hydrating consciously, eating seeds, nuts and greens, mobile phone and EMF protection, being excited about something, positive mindset, eating gutfriendly food.

Withdrawals: Never going outside, coffee with milk and sugar, reheated meals, shallow breathing, hunching over a desk, feeling resentful, frowning – holding dull expression, giving up, holding space for stress to live!, medication / drugs / pain killers, hating, no adventure, not drinking water, eating food with seeds removed and denatured, no protection to EMFs, nothing to look forward to, limited low frequency thinking, not having a clue what gut-friendly food is! www.anneclark.com.au www.lifestylereset.com.au

FOOD FOR THE SOUL

Did you know that your diet can

affect your hormones?

WORDS SUZI LE FANUE, Naturopath at Integrated Wellness Clinic

W

hen it comes to improving hormones, certain nutrientrich foods are the key for balancing hormones such as progesterone and oestrogen. Eating wholefoods and decreasing processed foods help to increase the nutrient density of food, provide the building blocks to hormones and reduce inflammation.

The liver and the digestive system also play a key role to ensure that the body does not wind up with too much of the circulating hormones. When either the liver or the bowel are not working properly, oestrogens that need to be excreted are sometimes recycled and reabsorbed into the bloodstream, which can lead to an accumulation of excess oestrogen.

Most people don’t realise that the human body produces and needs not just one, but many kinds of oestrogens.

As naturopaths we look at the balance between Estrone (E1), Estradiol (E2), Estriol (E3). Oestrogen is responsible in the body for making everything grow, including the lining of the uterus

to prepare for pregnancy, promotes the growth of the egg and the foetus.

Following menopause, oestrogen remains important for cell growth and renewal; when it is lacking, renewal suffers in skin, hair, bones, and nerve cells. 3 Progesterone is an essential hormone throughout all life stages, it is responsible for sustaining a healthy pregnancy, boosting memory and concentration, preventing heavy periods, and helping us achieve restorative sleep.

So what foods do you need for healthy hormones? The first step is to ensure your diet is full of nutrient-rich foods so your body is obtaining the key nutrients needed for hormonal health.

• Cruciferous vegetables have a high level of phytochemicals that help support phase 2 liver detoxification.

Include at least 1 cup/day of cauliflower, broccoli, cabbage, kale, Chinese vegetables, or Brussels sprouts.

• Dark leafy greens – kale is an excellent source of fibre, which feeds your good gut bacteria. Research

shows that friendly gut flora may play an important part in clearing oestrogen from your system and encouraging hormone balance.

• Flaxseeds, pumpkin seeds, sunflower seeds – faxseeds help to balance the ratio of progesterone to oestrogen. Pumpkin seeds and sunflower seeds are rich in zinc, which is involved in healthy oestrogen metabolism.

• Healthy fats – omega 3 fats are essential to build healthy cell membranes and ensure cells are able to ‘take up’ hormones. Include a range of omega 3 rich foods, such as salmon, anchovies, sardines, herring, cod, snapper, flaxseeds, chia seeds.

• Bone broths – bones themselves are rich in vitamins and nutrients, including calcium, magnesium, and phosphorous. It is also a great source of gelatin which is great for healing the gut and high in nutrients needed for hormonal health.

Mind over matter – 3 steps to mastering your mind-body connection WORDS DR HEIDI HERON, PsyD

W

hen you are nervous, have a headache, or overcome with tiredness, does this start in the head or start in the body?

We all are aware to some degree, the mind and body are connected and effect each other. But to what extent?

As a Doctor of Clinical Psychology, I work with people as both a coach and therapist on a variety of topics, and most come back to the mind-body connection. While our mind creates and transmits chemicals, the body holds and stores these chemicals.

From a psychological standpoint, most illnesses, dis-ease and discomfort are a factor of psychosomatic triggers – which is an illness or other condition caused or aggravated by internal conflict or stress. This doesn’t mean you have made something up, but it means you can use the mind to influence the body, and use the body to influence the mind. After all, you are in charge

12

12.indd 1

| SEPTEMBER 2019 | Holistic Bliss

of your mind and the following tips will help you master the connection and relationship between your mind and your body.

1. Awareness of your body. Each day, take 5 minutes in the morning and at night to sit in silence and tune into your body. Notice sensations of discomfort, pain, emotions and energy within you. For each sensation you notice, imagine a shape or symbol for it; let your imagination play! What is the colour of the discomfort? Is there a size or shape? Does it have any weight, temperature or texture? Notice it in detail. Being able to become more aware of our body sensations at this level will help us to become more aware when something is out of place or not right.

2. Identify positive intention.

Every behaviour or symptom we have, has a positive intention. When you are aware of the sensations in your body

and you are able to personify it into a symbol or shape – give it a voice, the ability to communicate and ask it what its highest intention is for you. We can very often find the meaning of a sensation by simply paying attention to it. The moment we then give our bodies what we need, the sensation dissipates.

3. Treat yourself kindly. What do you do for yourself on a regular basis?

Let you mind-body connection have time to check in with each other when neither have to be ‘busy’. Often, when we give our mind-body time to relax, the connection between them has time to heal and rejuvenate allowing us more health, vibrancy and energy.

Just a few minutes each day will help you to foster a better relationship between your mind and body – allowing you more choice, control and connection to living your best life. www.heidiheron.com

Retreats – for the ultimate nurture of health and wellbeing

D

o you go on regular retreats?

Or perhaps think about it but have never booked one? Maybe you’re a little unsure of what you could expect from one.

Retreats can vary greatly in terms of focus, locations, cost and quality.

However, the common experience across all retreats is that they provide a safe space to just ‘be’… no hustle and bustle of daily life to invade thoughts, opportunity for time alone, nourishing food, plenty of sleep, the opportunity to connect with like-minded people.

Whilst on retreat, some wonderful elements that you should expect include: WHOLESOME, NOURISHING FOOD Whether you are a fantastic cook or not, eat healthy all the time or not, being on retreat and experiencing the fruits of someone else’s healthy, nutritious cooking, is a complete joy to the taste buds and your body!

MEDITATION We all know meditation is great for our mind and body, however in our fast-paced world we don’t always get the time to turn off our thoughts.

Meditation is such a soothing practice; clearing your mind is energising in its own way and can provide you with clarity to reflect and recharge.

SELF-REFLECTION Self-reflection through journalling is a valuable self-care practice with many benefits. What a beautiful time to begin or perhaps recommence… whilst on retreat, where you have time to be still.

Journalling may involve reflection on forgiveness, gratitude, thoughts, feelings and desires, all of which can be a powerful tool whilst on retreat.

EXERCISE A retreat will usually include some form of exercise such as: yoga, pilates, walking, dance, stretch, swimming… and whilst we know that exercise is

great for our mind and body, not everyone loves all types of exercise.

Choosing a retreat that offers something physical that you will enjoy is important.

CONNECTIONS In a space where no one really knows you or your past, your dreams, your fears… you can just ‘be’ and what better place to be open to this than whilst on retreat… in a space that is safe, tranquil and supportive… the connections may last a lifetime or just for the duration of the retreat… but be assured each and every connection will have some impact on your life.

To come away feeling relaxed, rejuvenated and reconnected is the marker of a wonderful retreat, and indeed what Sunshine Coast locals Narelle Jones and Libby Mason aim for when facilitating their Pilates Health Retreats. www.pilatesretreats.com.au

How can

Medical Intuition assist you?

WORDS JEAN SHEEHAN, Principal – Millennium Education

M

any times, I have been interviewed on radio, podcasts, TV and other forms of media and I am always asked the same question as a nurse and medical intuitive, “Jean what is the biggest cure for health? And what would be the biggest disease women have?”

In a nutshell my answer for ‘treatment’ is absolute love! The biggest disease would be not loving self and the side effects are: cancer, heart attack, leaky gut syndrome, and every disease known to humans. I witnessed this in my mother.

I was 16 years old when my 43-yearold mother died on Christmas day of liver and colon cancer. I could see the anatomy and physiology inside her body and knew what she needed but the medical staff could not understand what I was saying. How do you explain that your mother was desperate for absolute love for herself and from people around her and that would ‘cure’ her? How does a child, or in this case a teenager, teach the medical system that the cure or the ‘magic pill’ is love for physical, mental and emotional disease?

I use the word cure very lightly as I don’t believe in curing. I believe and know in healing. To cure is to alleviate immediate pain but to heal is to make the person whole, like they were once created and born. When we are born, we know what true love is. When the mind and body are in a state of absolute love there is no pain, loss or disease. There is no emotional anatomy which creates disease.

that everything is possible. You become absolutely empowered.

My biggest dream, passion and legacy is to have the medical and educational systems know that if you give, offer and share and receive absolute love and breathe, eat, drink absolute love, we will banish disease. This is quantum law.

Let’s stop going against the universal law and make the new law of absolute love everywhere.

Each and every day say to yourself, ‘I AM, love, loved, loving and loveable’ and let’s banish disease.

When a person is in love, and I mean heart love, like holding a brandnew baby or feeling gratitude in your heart, the body releases endorphins, and chemical reactions occur within the body of a high energy that allow the body to function at an optimal level. This aligns with the quantum physics and universal laws of creation which means that everything is possible. Real miracles occur. I know, as I have witnessed it in nursing, my Medical Intuitive practice/ courses and also with myself, when I was healing from life-threatening diseases when writing my ‘BITE ME’ book. It is a feeling so powerful where you know everything is within you and

WOMEN’S WELL-BEING

A Yin and Yang for

good relationships

WORDS REBECCA LEE

B

alancing our inner masculine and feminine energies is important as they largely influence our life and relationships. Whilst we may typically think that the source of energy for a male is the masculine energy and the source energy for a female is the feminine energy, your energy field is a fusion of the divine masculine and feminine spirit.

Many energetic blocks are hidden aspects that lead back to a lack of, or imbalance between these energies.

To explore your inner relationship with the masculine and feminine and the balance of the energies within you, you need to look at how you originally perceived these divine energies through those that were around you in your early years, such as your parents.

Our early experiences with males and females largely influence our inner programming around gender-specific behaviours and roles. Therefore, they are the greatest influence over how we personally identify and connect with the divine masculine and feminine energies within. These experiences and

perceptions determine our personal attitude towards our own and the other gender.

Here are some common examples of how our inner masculine and feminine energies are lacking and become unbalanced due to earlier influencers such as our parents: • Absent fathers – if you had a physically or emotionally missing father, the missing masculine energy will make it difficult to develop a trusting, loving, and secure inner connection with your own masculinity if you are male; (and vice versa if you are female and had an absent mother).

As a result of this single-sided upbringing, you are likely to fantasise about the absent energy, leading to an idealised, and often unobtainable version of a man or woman. This blocks you in your love life, as you have an unreal expectation of yourself and the other gender.

• Controlling mothers – you may have had an overbearing, hyper-critical or controlling mother. In this case, you would have experienced femininity

as controlling, never satisfied and maybe manipulating. This then makes it hard for you to embrace your inner femininity (vice versa in the case of a controlling father). If you are a female, you may rebel against your feminine energy by favouring your masculine, or reject your femininity altogether. Some women may connect love with control and repeat their mother’s patterns.

Generally men will respond to this by trying to comply out of fear and develop people-pleasing and co-dependent patterns; or repress their anger; developing mistrust and resentment towards the feminine.

We can all build our own balanced connection with masculinity and femininity, free of parental programs.

To do this, we must seek to actively connect to our most pure inner masculine and feminine energies – ones that are from the divine source – not the males and females we have tied these energies to. www.highvibrationcity.com

WOMEN’S WELL-BEING

What if

creativity was more than painting and drawing!

WORDS HELEN BRADSHAW, Art Therapist

M

y Southern African upbringing was vibrant, eclectic and sometimes unstable. Living alongside many different cultures and witnessing their diverse qualities of life, made me deeply curious about people, especially women, surviving in a harsh and mostly male-dominated world.

What they taught me, was their capacity to embrace and live a creative life.

Creativity is a powerful way to begin to explore well-being in your life, to see a different way of ‘being’ and ‘doing’ even when you have very little. Connecting to our creative self, means the ability to perceive the world in new ways, to find hidden patterns, to make connections between seemingly unrelated experiences, solve problems and to generate solutions.

It means taking risks, ignoring doubt and facing fears… our self-doubt and fears being one of the biggest causes of dis-ease in our mind, body and soul.

Many of us believe we are not creative but we do it every day, i.e. cooking, decorating, gardening and our clothing.

The greatest misconception is that creativity is related to how well we can paint or draw. As an art therapist, I am on a mission to dispel this myth and help people surrender to and connect more to their creative self; to let go of expectation and judgment and striving for the perfect end result which is often swathed in stress.

In art therapy, we surrender to the creative process, freeing our mind to make sense of, heal and let go of the pain of past experiences without the use of words. It is also a place to melt into the softness of your heart, where you can safely ‘see’ what lies within, a wellspring, the ‘knowing’ of what is right for you to re-discover a natural state of wellbeing. Creative explorations reveal new perspectives, and possibilities arise to transform old patterns of behaviour

that no longer serve us. Exciting doors are opened that we didn’t even know were there, inspiring personal growth and healthier choices that align with our truth, values and authentic personal expression.

As clients explore their artwork, I am so privileged to witness their surprise, “I came here feeling confused, controlled and scared and now I’m feeling flowy, more balanced and free… I have stopped holding on so tightly and have less anxiety in my chest.”

From my own personal journey, I believe self-acceptance and self-love are the source of well-being, which is why so many people who live with so little have the ability to create a meaningful and happy life. Thank you to my African roots for inspiring my passion for creatively guiding women on their journey towards more self-acceptance and self-love. www.growththroughart.com.au

Beliefs:

WORDS RAELENE BYRNE

H

aving just come through a huge energetic portal which has opened us up to another level of connecting to our personal potential, we now look ahead for the rest of this year.

The year 2020 has always been a benchmark, or reference point for a huge awakening, a global shift in consciousness. Right now, we are in deeper preparations, whether aware of it or not, life keeps showing us which parts of our human and soul experience is requiring our devoted attention.

Between now and the end of 2019, we are being called to be more truthful with ourselves, question everything, find more space for us to be, take better care and nurturing of self, release more clutter from the mind, physicality, emotional and spiritual aspects, to honestly look at our feelings and what we are willing to create.

One of the big players in our everyday lives are the beliefs we are living, whether conscious or

or bombs?

subconscious, known or unknown. We are in accelerated times to discern what aligns and works for and what no longer serves us, with absolute clarity.

So, a question to ask yourself that may help when working with your beliefs to clarify whether they are aligned or not is: Are my beliefs building bridges to the life I want, or are they bombs, waiting to go off?

This question really helps you look at the habits and perceptions that may stop your expanding heart and soul from trying new things, choosing different directions, or recreating scenarios that never end the way you desire.

Beliefs are inherited, installed and instilled in us from before birth, some are in our DNA, some are ‘influences’ that our soul has resonance with. We can be a victim to the beliefs we have playing out, which means we are blowing ourselves up, the bombs keep going off, or we can diffuse the bombs, create a new more aligned belief and

start building the bridge towards the life we want.

For example, you may have a belief that ‘change is really hard and messy’. You need to ask yourself, “Is this true for me?”, “Where did it come from?” Perhaps you had a parent who was resistant to change, and you have absorbed their belief. To shift it up, here is a mindfulness exercise, something you need to repeat, feel and know… so it could be, “Change is a learning curve that opens me to more opportunities”.

Straight away there is an expansive nature, offering a better outcome, space to grow and a new belief that becomes a bridge-building belief.

As we face the rest of this year, it is important to listen to your inner world, keep lifting the calibre of your thoughts, feelings, actions and words, as we are laying the foundations and building the bridge towards a huge consciousness shift next year. www.raelenebyrne.com

What if

wealth

was part of well-being?

WORDS KATH ORMAN

I

magine your life is like a big jigsaw puzzle, with the pieces having labels such as: health, happiness, love, family, relationships, spirituality, friendship, peace of mind, financial freedom, harmony, fun, adventure, laughter – the list could go on and on.

Whilst most of us strive to have all the pieces together, if we are honest, perhaps some of the pieces may be missing or are a bit ratty around the edges? We live in a very fast-paced and busy world and we often go through the motions of day-to-day life and somehow, another week, month, year goes by and we question ourselves, “What did we achieve?”

As the theme for this month’s article is women’s well-being, I would like to share thoughts about a topic that is dear to my heart. In my long financial planning career, I have seen many women (and men too) who struggle to get a grip on their financial wellbeing. They may have every aspect of their lives on track, but go off the rails when it comes to money. It tends to slip

through their fingers or they delegate the running of the household to their partner.

The sad thing is, when the partner is no longer there, through divorce or death, they not only have the emotional pain, loss and sadness to deal with, they also have no idea what to do about the financial aspects of life.

Recently I saw a new client who had been procrastinating for three years before taking the big step (in her mind) of taking ownership of her financial situation and asking for help and direction. At the end of our first meeting, I could visibly see the load lifting from her shoulders. Her body language changed from defeat and being overwhelmed, to sitting up straighter and leaning in to listen more closely. She actually made me laugh, as half an hour into the meeting she commented, “I don’t actually feel sick and I thought I would.” I guess for many, seeing a financial planner may have the same fear as a visit to the dentist.

Another client just this week almost bounced out of the office after her second meeting. She was determined to make a change in her life and received a gold star for doing the homework I had set.

What

every woman

should know

WORDS DR VIVIENNE TAYLOR

W

omen of all ages can experience changes to their vagina and urinary system largely due to decreasing levels of the hormone estrogen.

These changes are known as ‘vaginal atrophy’ and will affect half of all women, yet only 24% of these women will seek medical advice. This causes changes in the structure and function of the vagina, the walls lose collagen, become thinner and the natural elasticity and blood supply is reduced. The protective mucosa can lose hydration and thickness, causing a loss of lubrication and changes in the natural balance of the internal environment. This can cause symptoms such as: • Incontinence and urinary urgency • Prolapse

• Dryness and loss of lubrication • Laxity • Painful sexual intercourse • Lichen Sclerosis These symptoms can have a negative effect on your general wellbeing, cause you to alter your lifestyle and in many cases, place stress on your intimate relationships.

A revolutionary solution that creates lasting results, convenient treatment and no downtime is called MonaLisa Touch, which stimulates your body’s natural regenerative processors.

MonaLisa Touch is a non-surgical, non-hormonal alternative to hormone therapy for the treatment of symptoms related to vaginal atrophy. It is a short procedure that works by stimulating the body’s own regenerative processes to create more hydrated and healthy cells

and to improve the vascularity of the vaginal mucosa. This has a direct effect on the integrity and elasticity of the vaginal wall and increases the acidity of the vaginal environment to more normal levels.

In general terms, MonaLisa Touch improves the function and health of the vagina. MonaLisa Touch is proving to be an exciting and effective solution for many women experiencing the symptoms of vaginal atrophy.

So wouldn’t you like to feel like you again… and rediscover the confidence to live the lifestyle you choose?

I took time out to chat with Jean Sheehan, international speaker and entrepreneur, award-winning founder of Millennium Education, Amazon bestselling author, breaker of boundaries, and wearer of heart-shaped glasses.

I have known Jean for more than 10

years and have witnessed her limitless capacity as a master manifestor, who shares love and generosity wherever she goes. Jean founded the first globally accredited Medical Intuitive Training, and has written five books in the last three years. Like most transformational

journeys, Jean’s has been paved with tragedy as well as triumph. For a shy child emigrating from Kuwait to Australia, who experienced homelessness after the death of her mother when she was only 16, there could have been a vastly different outcome. Jean’s early wealth creation lessons came from the school of hard knocks, but to Jean, life was just a big OP SHOP, where opportunities were available, and possibilities opened to her wherever she went. Jean is adamant that every one of us can manifest our heart’s desires, because if she can do it, anyone can.

She spends her life sharing this inspiring message with others, and demonstrating it in her daily life.

People often tell Jean, “you manifest so easily!” and her reply is, “So do you. Are you wearing clothes? ‘Yes.’ Well, you manifested them. You can manifest anything. Is manifesting easy?

Yes, manifesting is signs, symbols and indicators, whether inside us, or outside.

If the business isn’t bringing money in, it’s not saying you’re a failure, it’s just saying look at something differently, it might be one little thing. In manifesting I always say, ‘Why do you want it? Not how. Don’t look at the how. Why do you want to? Why are you so passionate?

What are you prepared to do, not do?

What are you prepared to give up? What are you prepared to look at?”

As a renowned medical intuitive with a nursing background, and speaking from personal and professional experience, Jean believes our hesitation and resistance, and not following our heart’s desire can have a detrimental impact on our health, which is a fundamental part of her work. “We create our diseases by not expressing our gifts, not setting boundaries and forgetting we are pure love.”

According to Jean, prioritising ourselves is key to sustaining a healthy and fulfilled life. “My favourite affirmation is, ‘I make myself a priority’.

Because if I’m not healthy, then I couldn’t have given to my children when they were little. My other child is my business.

So the balance comes from making my routine based around what works for me personally. So first thing in the morning, my routine is just based around me and last thing at night, my routine is based around me.”

Jean admits she initially resisted

writing her first book for fear of being exposed and sharing very intimate and personal experiences, but she knew it was time to do it, and once she made the decision there was no turning back, she penned it in just 30 days! “As soon as I made that jump, (I believe in the law of attraction), all these people, things and situations were there to support me, from publishers and team members, and putting it up on Amazon. I didn’t have to do anything. All I had to do was do what I’m good at, which is writing. So I’ve always written, always written for magazines and blogs and other people.

I just had to write, so I was resisting my natural gift, writing.”

The rewards have been immeasurable for her business, and for the impact her books make on others.

“Now instead of getting limited by fear, I’m so furiously passionate about getting this out. It’s my service, my duty.”

Jean is a prolific goal-setter and her mind works fast and furious. She has multiple projects at any given time, and she wouldn’t have it any other way.

Ultimately, her drive comes from a deep desire to be of service. This desire led her to create the first global Medical Intuitive Training to assist others who want to help people and be recognised for their gifts and talents. Her Millennium Education programs are recognised in 26 countries and accredited with two associations.

She has also created the world’s first and only Medical Intuition cards as a tool for facilitating a greater understanding of why dis-ease may manifest in the body.

Jean’s latest book ‘Bite Me’ which is due for release around Christmas, got personal when she set a goal of gaining 20 kilos through an unhealthy regime of poor food and no exercise, as part of her research. She became chronically unwell with multiple health issues, and is still getting back on track. “I knew that foods and lifestyle can create diseases, so once I got to a certain stage, I couldn’t get off the floor. I was aching, I had headaches, I was moody and emotional, just awful. I went and had some blood and urine tests because of my pathology background and I knew that I had created specific diseases from leaky gut syndrome to chronic fatigue to Pyrrole’s to a whole whack of other things. And then that was my scientific proof, I needed scientific proof to go, ‘if you do this and this becomes your lifestyle, you’re going to

YES, MANIFESTING IS SIGNS, SYMBOLS AND INDICATORS, WHETHER INSIDE US, OR OUTSIDE. IF THE BUSINESS ISN’T BRINGING MONEY IN, IT’S NOT SAYING YOU’RE A FAILURE, IT’S JUST SAYING LOOK AT SOMETHING DIFFERENTLY, IT MIGHT BE ONE LITTLE THING.

feel like absolute crap’. Even whilst I was eating badly, I was so conscious of why I was emotional, moody, etcetera.

My business was incredibly affected, where the income completely dropped.

And that’s the law of attraction for me; if you want to invest in yourself, then it affects your income as well. As soon as I cleaned up my food and my exercise patterns, income skyrocketed back up again. The more that I invest in me, the more people say, ‘I want what you’ve got.’ You exude this love bubble and so people say, ‘I want that, I want that’.”

An essential element of Jean’s philosophy is that every win and every achievement is acknowledged and celebrated. “My celebration is not always with materialistic things. My celebration… because I’m in the public eye so much now, is having the dog and walking along the beach. It’s my time and nobody else is around. And also time with my adult sons, when they want to go for a walk with me or go food shopping or whatever because they don’t live at home, that’s a celebration.

Just that intimate time with family and the dog, that’s massive. With each book, I’ve always bought myself a piece of jewellery. But the celebration with that is, ‘Yeah, let me just go reflect, be by myself.’ And being with my sons and my dog is a gift, they’re the ones that say, ‘Oh my God, I love you. Oh you did well!’ Well, that’s from the dog anyway,” she laughs. www.millenniumeducation.com Holistic Bliss | SEPTEMBER 2019 |

WOMEN’S WELL-BEING

A dentist who cares for your

smile and your health

WORDS DR RACHEL HALL, Holistic Dentist and Dental Revolutionary

I

n 1992 I graduated from dental school, trained to fill teeth and deal with dental disease. Little did I know back then, that my role would go from saving teeth to helping save lives…

Early in my career, frustrated that the dental model of brush, floss and don’t eat sugar, was not sufficient to maintain the health of my patients’ teeth and gums, I extensively explored the links between dental health, stress, diet, lifestyle and chronic health issues.

Through my research, I learned that your overall health affects your teeth, but also that your dental health impacts overall health. Oral health disease is linked with many chronic health conditions such as: diabetes, dementia and heart disease.

With these facts at hand, I see that my role as a dentist goes way beyond saving teeth – it is to help save lives by ensuring your mouth is not making you sick.

It is my mission to revolutionise the way people look at their dental health, to see dentistry as equally vital as diet and exercise if we are to prevent chronic health issues and early death.

Why am I so passionate about this? My father died unexpectedly, aged 47 of a massive heart attack. I was a 2nd year dental student at the time. Looking back, I now know he had severe and untreated gum disease that I am convinced increased his risk for cardiovascular disease and an early death. I can’t help but wonder if his dental issues had been properly diagnosed and taken care of, if he would still be alive today?

So you’d think you’d know if you had a life-threatening dental disease, or that your dentist would tell you right? Well no, dental disease like heart disease is painless until often it’s too late, and most dentists are unaware

of the seriousness of dental problems when it comes to preventing health issues that they won’t even tell you about them. You have your regular 30-minute check and clean every six months but all the while, a deadly dental time bomb can be ticking in your mouth.

And that is why I opened ‘Evolve Dental Healing’, an holistic dental practice in 2005, to provide you with the latest in holistic dental care to keep your teeth in the best shape, save you time, money, keep you looking younger… And to also save your life!

The empowered empath:

WOMEN’S WELL-BEING

A thrival guide for female leaders

WORDS DELANY DELANEY

A

re you are a woman (or man) who is hyper-sensitive, hyperaware… an empath?

If you’re wondering what being empathic looks like, check this out for just a few traits!

• You can take on other people’s thoughts and emotions and/or physical pain and illness as your own.

• You often feel overwhelmed, confused and even exhausted by certain people and places.

• You understand deeply where other people are coming from.

• You’re a lie detector (and sometimes don’t acknowledge that until after the fact!).

• You’re always seeking or aiming to fulfil your truth/meaning/purpose.

If any of the above resonates with you, it’s highly likely that you’re here at this time to be a leader too. Many of you already know this. And sometimes the going really gets tough.

Does it have to be hard? Certainly not as hard as many of us are making it!

When it comes to self-care and the

capacities required to flow with ease on this awakening adventure, you have to make you the priority!

How do you do that without separating or functioning from resistance or reaction, going against the very ways you know you’ve come here to embody and share?

A) Before reaching for the phone when you wake up in the morning; take a few minutes to be with you. Be grateful… beginning with your breath, your body and for being alive! Touch your skin, feel that deliciousness in every cell. S-t-re-t-c-h and yawn. Your body loves to move and it loves your sound, your very own vibration. We’ve only just begun to touch on the power of our own sound!

B) Be present! Anytime you feel yourself contracting, going into your head, worrying, doubting; B-R-E-A-T-H-E! Bring yourself to being in the centre of your physical body, your energetic bodies and allow the infinite essence of you to expand… well infinitely! Connect with the Earth.

Acknowledge everything that is not yours and destroy and uncreate it.

WOMEN’S WELL-BEING

What you WORDS SARAH KOTTMANN

O

ur passage into womanhood starts on the first day of our first cycle but the journey isn’t always a pleasant one, with many suffering from irregular periods, heavy bleeding and extreme pain. Many women suffer in silence thinking it is normal or not knowing what could be done to help rebalance the cycle. Every woman should enjoy a stress-free monthly cycle.

A woman’s regular cycle is 28 days, this can vary slightly either side of the 28 days. An irregular cycle is when the cycle is different each month or you miss months completely. There can be several causes, the most common being hormonal imbalances, stress, extreme weight loss and extreme emotion.

Ovulation then occurs between days 11-14 (depending on the length of your cycle, this may vary). The menstruation

need to know

about your monthly

(bleeding) phase generally lasts around 3-7 days (any longer than this can also signal a hormonal imbalance).

Period pain (dysmenorrhoea) affects many women, mild pain is normal, and you shouldn’t need to take anything for it, any pain over and above this can be a sign of hormonal imbalances, or can also be a sign of endometriosis.

Heavy bleeding is another common issue that I see in clinic and again is associated with hormonal imbalances but also could be uterine fibroids, polyps or endometriosis.

If you have any of the health concerns mentioned above, homeopathy may just be the gem you have been searching for. It’s a therapy that has been around for 250 years and is used worldwide by millions of people, using the philosophy of ‘like cures like’.

Treatment is aimed at restoring health

cycle

on a physical and emotional/mental level by using the body’s defences. The medicine helps to strengthen the body’s constitution, so you are better equipped both physically and emotionally at whatever life throws at you.

In the instance of a woman’s monthly cycle, this may mean rebalancing the hormones, being able to cope with stress better or rebalancing and healing the emotions. By doing so, we address the underlying causes, and the symptoms naturally disappear.

Each of us is an individual, which is what makes homeopathy so unique as we look at the person as an individual, not by their condition, rather, their whole self, and choose a remedy that fits that individual’s picture. www.northlakeshomeopathy.com.au

WOMEN’S WELL-BEING

How can frequency technologies and choices create wellness?

WORDS TATIANA SAVERY

T

here comes a time when we experience new beginnings and suddenly a new goal is clear.

When well-being is that goal, we require specific methods for attaining it. The speed by which this goal can be reached depends on one thing alone – the willingness to practise and be disciplined. The new frontier of frequency technologies will assist the speed by which well-being is experienced. There are tools and techniques that can be applied to enhance the work being done via these technologies.

Everyone can make them habits so we can lift ourselves out of pain and fear. Each step towards well-being helps, although in this new beginning, the methods are new. At first the methods are more ideas than a lifestyle; yet they will become the new rules of thought and eventually the rules by which we live.

Well-being begins in the mind with our choices. Choices are continuous; we do not always realise when we are making them. With practice in our choices, a set begins to form which sees us through the rest. We do not need to become preoccupied with every choice or step we take. A specific method applied upon waking, adopted consciously will support our goal with more ease.

Upon waking, think about the kind of day you desire, the feelings you would like to have, the things you want to have happen to you, and the things you would like to experience. Hold the thought: ‘today you will make no choices by yourself’. The day will be given to you by the part of your mind that created the thought of the kind of day you would like to have. This means you will not judge the situations where choices need to be made. Judgment of any situation contradicts the goal of

well-being. Throughout the day, any time you think of it, or have a quiet moment, remind yourself of the kind of day you would like to experience.

Eventually a point is reached where it is easier to have a happy day if you prevent unhappiness from entering. This takes practice. Your day is formed by how you make your choices – choices made with the right mind expressing the kind of day you desire, or choices made from judgment. When choices are made from judgment, unhappiness is experienced. Begin change: make the choice that you do not like what you feel now. That is a first step – having the awareness you do not like the way you feel; acknowledge you may have been wrong and choose another way to look at the situation.

Frequency technologies will help us shift to having the kind of days we desire. www.powertube.com

Metabolic syndrome

– a symptom of collective

WORDS DR SANDEEP GUPTA

M

etabolic syndrome is the name for a group of conditions that all share a common cause. The shared cause is known as insulin resistance and it is also considered that the accumulation of fatty tissue in the body’s midsection is a contributory factor. These conditions include obesity, type 2 diabetes, high blood pressure, imbalanced blood lipids (including high serum triglycerides and lowered HDL cholesterol), polycystic ovarian syndrome and non-alcoholic fatty liver disease. There are actually many more conditions that are probably linked to metabolic syndrome and insulin resistance.

This group of conditions is a huge worldwide public health problem. In 2000, the Australian Diabetes, Obesity and Lifestyle study (AusDiab) came up with the not-so-surprising result that around 19% of adult Australians meet the criteria for diagnosis of metabolic syndrome. In 2014-15 it was estimated that around 6% of Australian adults had full-blown diabetes, which is mainly

type 2 diabetes. Probably out of every four diagnosed diabetics, there is an undiagnosed diabetic floating around.

Even more concerning is the rising prevalence of these conditions. The prevalence of diabetes in Australia has tripled over the last 15 years. There is a 40% increase in the incidence of obese adults over the last 20 years in Australia. This trend is showing no sign of stopping.

Quite simply, refined sugar (particularly fructose) and carbohydrates containing white flour products, for instance, lack fibre, and therefore lead to a spike of blood glucose levels, which lead to the pancreas releasing the hormone insulin, so as to open the doors to the cells and liver to invite glucose inside so as to process them as fuel or to store as glycogen.

However after many years of this, and also in the absence of sufficient physical exercise, the cells slowly become resistant to the insulin. As a result of insulin levels becoming

imbalance

elevated, there is an inflammatory effect on tissues, and eventually blood sugars rise, the body stores more and more fat, and blood lipids become elevated, and the hormonal systems start becoming imbalanced.

On one level, the simple solution is eating real, wholefoods, and to regularly move the body in a sustained manner. Viewing food as a sacred nurturer of the body, rather than as simply a vehicle for sensory enjoyment is another key. Moving away from a life full of addictions and instant gratifications involves connecting to oneself on a deep level. Being deeply connected at a societal level also tends to provide a level of nourishment that tends to prevent addiction to processed non-foods. May we all connect with ourselves and the living earth, and thus prevent further cases of metabolic syndrome, which is why I refer to it as a symptom of our collective imbalance as a world community. www.lotusholisticmedicine.com.au

PERSONAL POWER

“Life tools for happiness and peace”

WORDS SPIRI BUHAGIAR

D

id you know that we operate prominently with our subconscious mind? In fact, neuroscience states that we operate from this unconscious state 90% of the day. It makes sense then to align your conscious and unconscious mind to make the most of your day.

After a few years away from public speaking and coaching, I will be presenting my PERSONAL POWER Masterclass at Mantra Mooloolaba on Saturday, 14th September at 10am.

This interactive masterclass gives you life tools to take away with you to become the best version of yourself; happy, healthy, calm, alert and aware by having your conscious mind and unconscious mind working in your best interest.

The PERSONAL POWER Masterclass will teach you how to calm your nervous system, de-clutter your mind, practise energy medicine techniques giving you the energy and staying power to be more productive throughout your day. You will also

learn a quick non-monastic meditation (some of the world’s leading identities and sporting greats practise daily) as well as making peace with your past so that you can live in the present. I will also teach you the fundamentals of mastering your mind and developing your intuition. The subjects covered, and the practical tools supplied in this masterclass will help you to be the best version of yourself.

With more than 30 years’ experience and education, I have incorporated the learning from my clients/patients, as well as my own life’s experience and studies into this masterclass.

If we are operating predominantly with our subconscious mind, it makes sense to align our conscious (analytical and thinking mind) and unconscious mind. This masterclass will help you understand your unconscious mind and how to re-wire it, so it works in your best interests.

Science understands that the practice of meditation can help you in all areas of your life. Prominent

individuals and sporting greats such as Oprah Winfrey, David Beckham and George Lucas, to mention a few, incorporate this practice into their daily lives to give them the edge.

Learn how to incorporate energy exercises using meridians to fire up your body and mind and breathing exercises (prana) to calm down your nervous system.

You will take away with you many practices and applications including a workbook, meditation experience, a meditation download as well as knowledge for life. If you want to live a life where calm has replaced anxiety, stress and insecurities, then register NOW! Investing in your emotional wellness is an investment for life because it’s the essence of who you are.

The deepest act of

self-love;

not caring

WORDS RIKKA ZIMMERMAN

Y

es, you read that title right.

You might be thinking, but this is a spiritual magazine!

Aren’t we supposed to be looking for advice in being more loving? That sounds like the least loving or caring thing a person could do!

Before you dismiss this spiritual teaching, think about one of your current relationships and ask, “What do I do for this person in order to prove that I care?”

Do you: Always put them first?

Think about them whenever they aren’t around?

Make them happy or derive your happiness from theirs?

Want to help them live their greatest life?

Of course! You might say. At first glance, these ‘selfless’ acts seem like what we’ve always been taught about what caring for someone else looks like.

As spiritual beings, it is very common to want to prove that we are loving, caring, and kind. But if you really look into this version of caring, it is not caring at all.

If you ‘always put them first,’ you are actually invalidating what would make you happy by going along with what they want.

If you ‘think about them whenever they aren’t around,’ you are actually keeping yourself from being present.

If you ‘try to make them happy or derive your happiness from theirs,’ you are actually dissuading yourself from the fact that happiness comes from within.

If you ‘want to help them live their greatest life,’ you are actually fixing them or course-correcting their future.

Does any of this seem caring to you?

As a result of all this ‘caring,’ you’ve negated your happiness, kept yourself from presence, and felt overwhelmed by your constant efforts to control their lives. It doesn’t work for you, them, or anyone in the end.

The solution? Welcome to the ‘art of not caring less’ about everything outside of you. This may seem radical, nonspiritual, unkind, and heartless, but give it a try anyway, and you may be

less

surprised at the freedom and self-love this process creates.

Whenever you find yourself trying to prove you ‘care’ about someone or something, say to yourself: “I don’t care about that. Why would I care about that?”

When you cease to ‘care’, you are actually releasing all your attachments to any outcome. This alleviates stress, disappointment, and frustration. From there, you can approach any situation with the mindset of “what would be caring for me here?”

You’ll find that when you choose what is truly caring for you, it is truly caring for everyone involved. Your cup will be overflowing with self-love and you’ll have an excess of love to give to those around you.

Finding the

PowerF U L L You!

WORDS SANDRA MEEHAN

P

eeling back the layers to the PowerFULL You is the greatest gift you can give yourself and your business.

The spiritual industry has a reputation of smoke and mirrors, and for those in the industry to stay alive in business as we move into 2020, the veils of illusion must come down.

The future of the industry hinges on one-word, AUTHENTICITY. Now you might ask how does this fit in with peeling back the layers to your powerFULL self?

Your PowerFULL self is your true authentic self.

We have light bulb moments in our life; I had one three years ago when I was chatting with a friend over a glass of wine as I was considering giving up my business and getting a real job.

Why? I had lost all passion for my work, business and the industry, as I

had lost who Sandra was, I had no idea.

You see, I had believed to work in the spiritual industry, you had to be a certain way and talk a certain way. I had allowed myself to listen to others who told me that I was not feminine enough or soft enough.

The more I tried to be what others said I needed to be, or I believed I needed to be, the more I lost Sandra.

My self-worth was at an all-time low.

I had allowed what others thought of me to become my reality.

After another glass of wine, my girlfriend said to me, “Sandra, why don’t you just be yourself in your business, be authentic, the real you.”

The journey began. What I realised was, everyone is spiritual; it is physicality we have come here to master. Our soul already knows how to be spiritual, yet it is the physical stuff which gets in the way.

I worked with gurus from around the world and paid a lot of money in the process to find Sandra. They all used fancy words, yet they all had the same, simple message which is: Let go of your stuff!

So started the process of peeling the layers back to now stand in the truth of who I truly am without any judgment of self or others.

I have now built a global business which has online programs and physical products to empower women to step into their power and be their authentic selves.

The three most important steps are: To take responsibility for what is happening in your life; mind your own business (what other people think of us is none of our business); and step into your power. www.thepowerfullyou.com

WORDS ROB FOSTER

W

e each have the power to create habits in our long term relationships.

We can build an openness of adult self-responsibility into our communication together, or resort back to old childlike ways of trying to get our needs met with destructive habits.

It seems knowing when to fix something, and knowing when to listen, is a skill set that doesn’t come easily to many men. The need to understand what is going on for my wife and finding a way to fix the situation is not the wisest approach to connect with her.

Understanding may be a great solution when working on a building project, but it is not always the best approach for creating a beautiful relationship between two people.

An intention to connect with empathy is the key to healing any situation. Actually, a more profound way of benefitting my partner is to sit alongside her when she has difficulties.

32.indd 1

| SEPTEMBER 2019 | Holistic Bliss

To simply listen and not to try and fix or offer a solution.

Women’s well-being (or the feminine) is not the sole responsibility of women. It must be supported by men (or the masculine) in ways that are wise and kind. This will result in happiness for all.

Compassionate communication is a 100% learnable skill for all. Both men and women can learn new ways of communicating and connecting that results in peace, happiness and intimacy.

To enquire what your partner is feeling and needing while staying in empathy (for yourself and her) requires quite a bit of mastery. This skill set was most likely not taught to you through school and maybe never modelled to you as you grew up. The depth in which a man can stand in any storm and be a shade tree, is always dependent on how well he knows himself.

The deeper the self-connection, the

better he is able to be there for others in his life.

Family Constellations and Non Violent Communication is a tried and true path to creating a loving approach with our partner.

It took dedication to find a new way, and still some days, I mess it up. These messy days are just an opportunity to connect deeper and bring authenticity and vulnerability to the situation.

The rewards of caring deeply for your partner are immeasurable over time, it multiplies happiness and joy, and deep down this is what we all wish for.

What is the WORDS JO HAYTER

I

value of feeling?

dream of a medicine woman.

Wanting to know more about her, I had hair wraps embellished with charms just like hers, put into my hair.

Dread was the emotion as the wraps were inserted, prompting another dream…

An Indian slave is birthing a daughter conceived through rape.

Mother and daughter were medicine women whose healing medicine was herbs. The daughter was midwife to the birth of a Mongoloid baby to which, based on cultural law, she was required to administer a lethal herb. The baby died. The daughter’s anguish at the tribal law and her guilt drove her to suicide by the same herb.

In the next generation of her family, a Mongoloid child was born, and depression was a cellular inheritance. It became clear any unprocessed emotion is inherited by the next generation.

“How is that fair?” I ask, shaking an invisible fist at the sky. We are enslaved by the emotions from those who have gone before us.

“Because”, was the reply, “so

many have so little regard for the truth and beauty of who they really are as individuals that if our emotions did not impact elsewhere, we would not try.” If we knew this; wouldn’t we all try hard?

Repressing any emotion represses EVERY emotion. You cannot feel the ecstasy of orgasmic universal energy uplifting, guiding and inspiring you daily, if you are unwilling to feel fear, anger and grief.

For a time, hair wraps were part of my signature. They reminded me daily; to try hard to allow unabashedly fully self-expressed, gut-wrenching, bloodcurdling emotion; and here’s what I learned.

Emotions originate within the physical body because of chemical reactions produced by negative and positive beliefs formed from life experiences creating certain behaviours.

There is a difference between emotion and feeling. Feeling originates outside the physical (spiritual). Feeling is a life force energy absorbed through vibration frequencies flowing through our bio-field into and around our

bodies. Our bio-chemical bodies cannot live without feeling.

Emotions originate within the physical. The physical body produces chemical reactions constantly. A biochemical body is needed for emotion to be fully processed. Every time the body experiences an emotion, a pheromone is produced and emitted. Intuition reads pheromones. We have been conditioned to ignore our intuition, preferring logic to translate emotional input. Unprocessed emotions from life experiences are then trapped in the body’s cellular memory (DNA) and felt in the physical body.

‘Body Relationships Lifestyle Programs’ are built upon the premise that these experiences need to be processed as they stop us from fully connecting with feeling; consciousness.

The soul is the container for memories and emotion which means universal consciousness diminishes if we remain trapped in emotions. To restore feeling, emotional processing is crucial. www.bodyrelationships.com

Feminine healing with Yoni eggs...

WORDS KELLI BROOKER

Y

EVFR ENEE T

oni eggs have been around for centuries but so many women aren’t aware of their natural healing benefits. It’s not a widely talked about subject and some get embarrassed by the mere mention of it, so I’m going to change that perception.

The word ‘Yoni’ literally means our womb and female reproductive organs, it is from the Sanskrit meaning. Since we grow and give life using this ever important body part, why do we not discuss how to nurture it more?

Yoni eggs ignite our divine feminine energy and activate our sacral chakra which is important for personal, sexual health and happiness.

These beautiful crystal healers are designed to bring out our inner Goddess and promote internal health and healing.

Benefits of these ancient tools are helping prevent prolapse, easing incontinence, increased pelvic floor muscle strength and helping

dryness due to menopause, hormone fluctuations or after childbirth. They also help natural lubrication by moving blood flow to the area. Increased sensations and feeling are another bonus.

With different crystal types to choose from, focus on your current needs and begin to transform yourself from the inside out. There are many Yoni Masters out there who can actually lift surfboards and weights using only their pelvic floor muscles. Yes it’s true. One day that could be us!

Yoni eggs we offer come in a set of three sizes and practice begins using the largest size. As your strength increases and you feel improvement, progress to the next size. There is no set time and no two women are the same, you have total control of your pace and how often you use them.

Daily use can be as little as 15 minutes or as long as a few hours. I have no spare time with our business,

so I am a multi-tasker and go about my day and work whilst using mine, they are totally practical that way! Some women love to meditate with them and make the process a purely relaxation and spiritual practice and this is another wonderful way to use your eggs.

Results when used regularly can be noticeable within a short time of commencing use. You may feel your muscles are heavy, tired or even ache.

This is completely normal and a positive sign that changes are on the way.

Like all crystals, each Yoni egg will hold the metaphysical healing of its crystal type. So when deciding on what you need, think of which natural vibration you feel your mind, body and spirit needs overall. Or simply choose your favourite colour! Our higher self knows what we need and crystals will choose us when we need them in our life. Never second guess your intuition. www.moonstonegypsyau.com

WOMEN’S WELL-BEING

HERstory is her healing WORDS ANNE ALECKSON

I

n my healing work with clients, we often connect into and communicate with the female family line – mothers, grandmothers, greatgrandmothers and so on.

Often living daughters, no matter their age, are brought into the sacred healing space as an act of recognising that when we who are the mothers heal ourselves, we are also laying the groundwork for our daughters to release what they have taken on as their own, from our mostly unconscious example.

It’s no coincidence that we are currently experiencing in the world an uprising against the patriarchy, and a rising of the feminine.

We are also experiencing this healing within our own feminine self.

A movement away from being who we as collective women have learned to be in the world, away from a world designed mostly for the masculine.

Moving now toward the world of balance and equality.

We must first, as women, step into

the full force of our feminine power and let go of our need to ‘fit in’ to the masculine norm.

We must unlearn all that we know about women as a whole.

I’m excited every single time that I see an article sharing a never-beforeknown fact about a woman who contributed greatly to the world in some way in a bygone era and I loved watching the story of the women in ‘Hidden Figures’ and their pioneering work for NASA. History is being rewritten to include HERstory.

These stories that are coming to light allow us to change our perspective around what we have learned to be, what we believe we can do and so much more.

We must, as women and supporters of women, ensure that we share and retell these stories with our sons and our daughters so that the whole story is being told and not just one half of the story of our collective history.

In our own personal healing journey, we must allow these stories to build our personal confidence in our ability to be and do and have all that we desire.

We are no longer ‘owned’ by the masculine, a man… first our father, then our husband and then our sons.

Woman is her own sovereign being, capable of birthing children and creating new worlds.

Woman is not weaker than or less than her divine equal, man, just as man is not more (or less) than divine woman.

It is now time for you women, to let go of who you know yourself to be and step into whom you really are… capable, confident, fierce and free, a creator being highly attuned to her intuition and ancestry and in touch with her inner goddess.

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.

cannabis plant connect with the feminine divine, past, present and future?

How does the WORDS MELANIE LEONTINE

W

ithout a doubt the female cannabis plant has its own consciousness as do all living things on our beautiful Mother Earth. The female cannabis plant grows the higher THC, one of many cannabinoids found within the cannabis plant, people desire for their healing requirements.

She gives to us the most powerful plant medicine known today and for thousands of years prior. The humble cannabis plant has been a ‘Goddesssend’ forever. Cannabis was commonly used in India to relieve birthing pains, in China as a powerful anaesthetic and in Egypt to alleviate menstrual cramping.

In modern times cannabis is beneficial for women suffering with endometriosis, fibromyalgia, PCOS, interstitial cystitis, child-birthing pains, fibro-cystic breast disease, just to name a few.

The Royal women of times past favoured this magnificent female plant for health and a sustainable

environment and economy. Queen Victoria, England’s longest ruling monarch until Queen Elizabeth, used cannabis for menstrual cramps. Her physician, Dr Sir J Russell Reynolds, spoke highly about the use of cannabis saying, “When pure and administered carefully, [cannabis] is one of the most valuable medicines we possess.”

Reynolds prescribed a tincture, rather than smoking cannabis for Queen Victoria.

It is paramount we remove the negative stigma placed upon cannabis by people with an agenda driven by money, rather than healing. For too many years the gift of cannabis has been demonised by religion, governments and abused by people who treat it as a recreational party drug.

We must bring the reputation of the cannabis plant back to its sacred divine feminine form. This is the time, and this is the place, here and now.

And it showed!

Stress is an insidious beast. It creeps in and causes damage both inside and out. Learn to fight against it daily! I’ll never a be a Yogi guru or one of those women who do pilates. I hate it! I never sit down to eat or pack my lunch. I hate typical relaxing things like taking a long

Whether it’s doing something for the homeless person on the street or rescuing a dog from euthanasia, I’m a giver. I will always be a giver!

As women, giving is in our nature.

We always put others before ourselves – I’m guilty too. You’re busy at work, then busy at home, then busy with family.

It’s easy to forget yourself. Don’t fall into that trap!

The magic of

S

collagen powder

cience shows that supplementing with marine collagen is the most effective way to treat and prevent cellulite and stretch marks from within.

This is because consuming collagen stimulates your body’s own collagen production and repairs damaged collagen that is already present. For this reason, marine collagen is known to be the best of all collagen types. The two collagen alternatives are bovine (from beef) and porcine (from pork), both known to be more hazardous, less ecofriendly and poorer quality in terms of collagen purity and molecule size (much larger than marine collagen molecules).

The other important factor to consider is maintaining good nutrition to keep skin elastic and firm. Poor nutrition leads to the premature breakdown of skin, collagen and loss of elasticity, for example the glycation process caused by refined carbohydrates like bread, pasta and sugar, may contribute to ageing.

It turns out that when nutritional deficiencies are present, both stretch

marks and cellulite can occur at any age. Accelerating this damage, is the fact that collagen isn’t a standard part of a western diet. In today’s modern fastpaced society, very few of us have the time (or the desire) to make our own collagen broth from animal foods like: bone, skin, feet, and fish skin and bone, cows or pork, all of which we refer to as waste products.

If you would like to support the health of your skin, you can eat the skin of animal products daily. Or… take a leaf out of the beauty book of models, movie stars and media personalities who have been secretly taking collagen supplements for years to maintain their health and beauty.

As with preventing premature ageing, it is essential to avoid proinflammatory foods, like: wheat, refined sugar, dairy, soy, gluten, refined grains and oxidised oils. This is because inflammation ignites an immune response. Once this happens, white blood cells release something called collagenase, which is an enzyme that

breaks down collagen. Collagenase is now enemy number one.

By following ‘Ancient and Wild’s 12Week Skin Transformation Challenge’, which includes skin specific nutritional advice, the principle of acid/alkaline, and most importantly wholefood collagen supplementation, you can naturally keep inflammation in check.

Collagen, fermented foods, alkalising greens and probiotic beverages, will help heal the gut and reduce harmful inflammation.

Also, be sure to eat foods that contain: • Vitamin C: Vitamin C is necessary to synthesise the proteins needed to produce collagen, as well as enhancing the absorption of your collagen supplement.

• Zinc: Zinc deficiency has been found to inhibit the formation of collagen, especially after trauma, so pop down to your local chemist as they usually offer free zinc testing which only takes a few minutes. www.ancientandwild.com.au

Chat with The Body Health Medium,

Felicity Scott Dear Felicity, About seven months ago I woke up with lower back pain; slightly grabbing and throbbing. Fast forward to now and I am still in pain. I’ve never had back pain ever and it aches mainly when I’m at work. Thanks, Kerrie.

Hi Kerrie, I can see that putting distance between yourself and others has always been your protective mechanism. This mechanism has manifested itself in your physical body as inflexible tendons resulting in pain in the lower back. Letting go of your protective barrier will relax the pain of protection. No shield is needed to live on Earth. An affirmation to help, “I let go and trust”. The message behind the symptom: Trust and believe in your inner guidance that all is well now and in the future. May love and happiness flow to you always, Felicity.

Dear Felicity, I have not been able to lose any weight whatsoever since year 2000.

I have sought help in all directions, all to no avail. The year 2000 was

a shockingly stressful year, every month that year, another disaster would happen and I also went into menopause. At the beginning of the year I was a reasonable weight but the last few months in 2000 I put on 25kg for no reason. Thanks, Maria.

Hi Maria, I can see that your thyroid is occasionally functioning in reverse. Heal your body by sipping a glass of fresh celery juice in the morning and sipping a glass of fresh green apple juice before bed. Release the year 2000 from your thoughts by repeating the affirmation, “Only the good lies before me, I move forward with love”. The message behind the symptom: Remember that out of disaster a new day dawns, welcome the day anew. In health and happiness, Felicity.

Hi Felicity, For the past two years I have experienced chronic lower back pain accompanied by a tight diaphragm and right rib pain. I have been to see various practitioners and cannot seem to get on top of it. Thanks, Metia.

Hi Metia, I can see that you are experiencing a sluggish gall bladder function, occasionally leading to structural over-contraction, resulting in pain and discomfort. Refresh the gall bladder energy with a healing root vegetable slow cook stew of: carrots, swede, potato and vegetable stock. Add a small bowl of this nutrient dense stew into your meal plan at the start of lunch and dinner until the pain subsides. The message behind the symptom: Never fear, your spirit guides are near, guiding your future with love. With carefree steps unfold your future, Felicity.

Live, laugh, love your way to good health. Spirit guides offer us shelter in times of fear and grief, listening to their guidance and following it with an open and trusting heart, is our way of saying thank you.

If you have a health question for FELICITY, please email: contact@thebodyhealthmedium.com www.thebodyhealthmedium.com

Opposing forces of WORDS GAYLYN AITKEN

S

everal years ago when I was learning Kahuna Sciences from Abraham Kawai’i, I attended a geomancy workshop with him. I learnt how to sense through the responses of my body, the different frequencies that make up my immediate environment and how to adjust myself or my environment to facilitate flow or containment, depending upon the situation. This in turn deepened my understanding of the principle of motion, action and how its effects are the same within all circumstances, time and space.

This elemental principle ignited within me a desire to develop a way of life that mirrored the flow, flexibility and speed of adjustment, found within nature in response to the frequencies of opposing forces. I figured it’s easier to swim with the tide than to fight against it with my concepts and belief systems.

Aligned Movement grew from this desire, as I slowly but surely learnt how my body responded functionally to various situations.

male and female energy

Motion is life and motion is created from equal and opposing forces moving upon each other.

In relation to this month’s theme of women’s well-being, I’ll focus on the opposing forces of male/female energy that not only relates to species gender but can also be found as a way of identifying and improving the function of anything.

The motion of feminine energy can be identified through the senses as: cool, damp, dark, sweet, fluid, smooth, heavy, deep, inwards, measured, receptive, flexible, resilient, creative, container, nurturer.

The motion of male energy is the opposite; light, heat, fast, textured, direct, projective, focused, dry, supportive, metallic, provider, rigid, strength, new ideas, birth.

In balance, these two opposing forces create motion that contributes to one’s wellbeing. Sensing the qualities of male and female energies can provide insight into what’s needed

when and how much. We learn from ourselves of our self, to better manage life by lessening or increasing the harmoniously opposing forces to keep upright and moving with ease.

The root of harmonious motion is communication between all the parts of being human, our body, our mind and our spirit. All are equal and different in the same measure and are kept well by being consciously aware of the qualities of motion.

When I move in conscious alignment, I’m aware of how the phases of my breath move my body parts in a particular way that allows for the expansion of inhalation and the contraction of exhalation. In everyday movement, I can then sense the time to move in a particular way that will contribute to the fluid power of the movement, which when employed often enough, becomes a pattern of movement. www.kahunamist.com

Safe mercury amalgam filling removal with SMART technique WORDS DR WEI SHEN

L

ots of our patients had amalgam fillings placed when they were young. Now they are aware of the potential health risks with them and want to get them removed. Did you know when you are drilling into amalgam fillings without protection, you can actually release more mercury into your body?! That’s why we do it the SMART way! Ultimately, that’s why many of our patients choose to come to us to have their amalgam removed.

KNOW YOUR DENTAL MERCURY FACTS: HERE’S WHY… Dental amalgam fillings, which are made with a mixture of mercury, silver, copper, tin, and sometimes zinc, are still used in the United States, Australia and a number of other countries.

Often called ‘silver fillings’, all dental amalgams are 45-55% elemental mercury. Mercury is toxic, and this poison is recognised as a chemical of major concern because it poses a dangerous threat to public health.

Mercury accumulates in the body, and any amount of mercury taken into the

body should be considered hazardous.

Mercury vapour is known to be released from dental mercury amalgam fillings at higher rates during brushing, cleaning, clenching of teeth, chewing, etc and mercury is also known to be released during the placement, replacement, and removal of dental mercury amalgam fillings. Essentially, an unsafe amalgam removal process releases mercury vapour and particles that can be harmful to the patient, the dentist, the dental staff, and the environment.

HOW TO REMOVE AMALGAM WITH SMART TECHNIQUE As holistic dentists, we are very concerned about excess exposure to mercury when amalgam fillings are removed. The process of drilling out amalgam fillings liberates quantities of mercury vapour and fine particulates that can be inhaled and absorbed through the lungs, and this is potentially harmful to patients, dentists, dental workers, and their foetuses.

We follow strict guidelines

Most consumers choose direct composite fillings because the white colouring matches the tooth better and the cost is lower.

For the porcelain option, we also have state-of-the-art technology that allows us to make ceramic fillings or crowns within a day with CEREC. You don’t need to wear the temporary crowns, and the crowns are being made while you wait reading a magazine or watching Netflix on TV.

Kids. You gotta love ’em...

WORDS NAVEEN LIGHT

K

ids can really push your buttons.

And the BEST button pushers are the ‘special’ ones. They are super sensitive, often highly intelligent in the disguise of being difficult and forthright. They can be really gifted and also display challenging and triggering behaviours.

You need help to help them because you want to understand them and support them better. You understand they respond better to alternative therapies like: kinesiology, homeopathy and Reiki. What if there was something easier and QUICKER that would help you as well?

What can you do that will support them and bring more peace into your home in less than 10 minutes each night? What if bedtime could be calm and peaceful? What if you could have this energetic tool that won’t cost the Earth?

‘Koki Zen’ is bringing in the new

Earth frequencies that your child carries inside them. Their job is to anchor these frequencies into our Earth. Their job is to collect all the lower frequencies and transform them. This can take a toll on their physical body which needs energetic support.

Our Earth is on an ascension journey and right now could be described as the teenage years.

Rebellious, leaving behind the old, making way for the new. Your sensitive, empathic, New Earth child is an essential part of this teenage planet Earth transition. These children are born fully conscious, connected with other realms and deep knowings. They know things they cannot explain. Many of them do not understand our world.

Can we honestly say we understand this world? I think not. Who can understand a world where people are cruel to each other? So we must focus on bringing more and more kindness into the

world where there is lots of it already.

We need to overcompensate with the energy of kindness so that we resonate into THAT frequency and move out of the lower vibrations. ‘Koki Zen’ is the energy of kindness. Kindness is not about politeness either. It is not about giving a homeless person a sandwich.

Sometimes kindness is allowing our child to fall into that puddle, to allow them to learn that they can pick themselves up and that their day does not have to be ruined by a bit of water and dirt. ‘Koki Zen’ can help to build this type of resilience in your child.

Energetic resilience. To bring them back into their deep knowing that all IS well, no matter what is going on around them.

Ideally, ‘Koki Zen’ is channelled from mother to child before they reach the age of 10. By 9 or 10 the child’s own soul must choose for itself. www.kokizen.com

It’s been more than two decades now since Garry Pitt and his wife Leica decided to turn their hobby or interest in dogs into a business.

Although it was only a dream to start with, this dream developed into what was known as ‘Kytana Kennels and Canine Therapy Centre’ in Victoria.

In a short period of time, Garry and Leica’s enthusiasm and dedication saw their kennels and Garry’s business as a dog chiropractor and therapist become one of the most popular in the Victorian Hinterland.

Over time, sunny Queensland kept calling Garry and Leica, and so they eventually moved to SEQ to create a new practice. Garry could see there was a need for his dog chiropractic work in Brisbane where it did not take him long to build up a reputation and thriving business.

Through Garry’s many years of working with dogs, he has treated many

with: arthritis, muscle wastage, limping or sore joints and back problems.

Garry takes a natural approach to treatment through chiropractic adjustments in conjunction with ultrasound, magnetic therapy, muscle contractor and massage, which have produced excellent results with all dogs from the show dog, working dog and your family pet.

Gary offers structural muscular checks and the musculoskeletal system of a dog that has a sudden traumatic or repetitive stress placed on it can result in functional problems. Many owners know when

their animal is not their normal self. The alignment of the dog is so important for show, racing, working or service dogs and even the family pet.

Magnetic field therapy uses electrical energy to direct a series of magnetic pulses through injured tissue whereby each magnetic pulse induces a tiny electrical signal that stimulates cellular repair. The different settings allow for the healing of both bone and tissue damage and helps bring the dog’s metabolism rate back to a normal state. This treatment is excellent for dogs with bowel movement problems.

rehab? Garry says many times dogs obtain little or no rehab after an operation or injury which can result in a new injury or an unsatisfactory recovery.

At the ‘Dog Chiropractic Therapy Centre’

they have the equipment and techniques to help dogs recover. They set you on the path to recovery and give you the necessary exercises that you can do with your dog to bring him/her to full recovery (by working with you and your animal family member).

It’s obvious Garry has a passion for the work he does and has a love of working with all dogs and helping them live the best life they can live!

Alchemy of Awareness is a brand new book that keeps giving. Each chapter has insights, pearls of wisdom, actions to take and declarations to bring about a deeper connection with your inner world.

After decades of learning, courses, experiences, travel and seeking, the one thing that has been a constant in the teachings Raelene Byrne has received is: “Everything you need to know you already have within you.”

Picking up this book, asking for a message and opening it to that chapter, can be enough to inspire, create a new connection with self, shift a belief, perhaps remembering your true essence.

8 wonderful ways of women...

WORDS KRISHNA EVERSON

O

ver the past month I have been blessed to be in the presence of some wonderful women. One particular event was filled with those I have had the pleasure of getting to know over my last 10 years or more in business. We have shared tears, laughter, joys, triumphs and tragedy over this time. Some of my conversations got me thinking about each of our journeys, what has transpired, what we have achieved and how we have morphed and evolved personally and in our businesses. My pondering acknowledges 8 wonderful ways of women…

We tap into our intuition – when we hear that inner calling, we respond.

If we resist, it persists and eventually we listen! It guides and shapes us and tells us where to go. When we follow, magic happens.

We are adaptable – 10 years is a long time in the life of a woman!

We transform, re-invent, and pivot

towards new horizons depending on what is placed in our path. It could be family, illness, travel, love. We adapt and respond in the moment, with the common good in mind.

We are resourceful – we have an ability to create something from seemingly nothing. The seed of an idea, a concept, a need. When others give up, we make things happen!

We are resilient – if we fall down, we usually don’t stay there for long.

We look for ways to move forward positively and with purpose. We are amazing overcomers.

We lift each other up – we cheer one another on and celebrate each other’s successes! We attend each other’s events, purchase products and services and shout out for one another.

We are often the wind beneath one another’s wings!

We are nurturing and supportive – we care about those arounds us

including family, friends, clients and community. They matter to us! If we can, we will reach out with an encouraging word, share a hug or offer to help in a practical way when it’s needed.

We are networkers – whether it’s a local network where we attend face to face, or an online community. We are natural connectors and brilliant communicators when we find a likeminded tribe.

We are creative – we express our creativity in different ways and it is often what makes us different and innovative.

It flows through everything we do. As well as allowing us to express ourselves or our business uniquely, it keeps things interesting!

We are not limited to these wonderful ways, and they ebb, flow and interplay with one another. I have grown to appreciate them more over time how they enrich our lives. Thank you to the women in my life. I see you!
