any years ago when I was in the process of separating from and divorcing my former husband, I was very much in tune with the feelings of our entire family, his and mine.

In particular, my English mother-in-law, who feared she would be estranged from her two granddaughters 4

Radiance May/June 2016

as we lived in California and she in England. I could feel her sadness when I spoke to her on the telephone.

One day I was inspired to send her a greeting card and in it I wrote, “Through the passage of time some things change and others remain constant." I wanted to reassure her that her relationship with my daughters was as important to me as it was to her.

Spirit

True to my word I made many trips to England over the following years and invited her and my fatherin-law to come and stay with us as well. Even after I subsequently remarried to my current husband, my relationship with them remained intact. And, even now, 20 years later, we still inquire about each other and send love and greetings.

Not all change comes with this much grace because too often we are afraid of what the changes will bring.

What if we don’t like it? What if the process of it is too difficult? What if we make a mistake? What if we can’t go back to the way it was?

Change is, of course, inevitable, even if we think we actually have the power to resist and prevent it. Have you ever called someone “stubborn” or “stuck in their ways?" Has someone called you this?

I am generally okay with change because I have learned to embrace it and make the outcome as good as possible.

I employ more than a silver lining attitude to it. In fact, I usually create a mind set of excitement to see what it will bring and focus on the positive aspects of it.

However, from time to time, I would hear my inner voice saying “no” at the onset of something I was not prepared for, did not want to have happen or it appeared not to be going the way I wanted it.

I was recently nominated by one of my dearest friends as a candidate for an award to recognize women who are creating change and influencing other women for the better.

In the finalist profile forms I was sent were a number of thought provoking questions. There was one which remains forward in my memory. The question was “Who taught you your most important lesson in business and what was the lesson?”

I answered with a memory of my uncle who I worked for in my early career. He told me “No decision is the worst decision. Gather as much information in any given situation and make the best decision you can with what you have. You can always course correct later as new information comes forth”.

He recently passed in the Spring of 2015 and I will always remember those words as they were formative

in my career. He meant keep moving forward and don’t be arrested with fear of the unknown. The unknown will eventually reveal itself and you can deal with when it does. Until that time, you can’t do anything with it, so move on. He helped me become the trail blazer that I am today.

Knowing what to keep about ourselves and what to change in my opinion is one of the most powerful tools of personal intimacy we can ascribe to. Many people raised an eyebrow to me, including my current in laws, at my devoted relationship to my former ones.

I also receive similar responses when I am forthright in dropping something that isn’t working and finding a new way of doing something.

How do I know which to keep and which to discard?

Intuition, and sometimes, quite honestly, a little role of the dice. What is most important is make a decision, to stay or move, in any given situation and know that one minute from now you have an opportunity to make new decision.

Time and space are constantly moving. If we choose to move with it, we can go along for the best ride of our life. In the famous words of “The Borg” from Star Trek the Next Generation, “Resistance is futile”. Change is always for the better regardless of how we feel about it.

Inside a Session

Dominance and Respect Have you ever found yourself surrounded by dominant people and couldn’t get a word in edge wise or struggled to gain respect from authority?

Stacy wanted to know why she was always attracting dominant people. Her bosses, boyfriends and some of her friends always started out to be nice but would turn mean and dominating after a period of time.

Looking at the energy behind these events, her root chakra and throat chakra were blocked and affected by fragmentations from a past life which occurred when she was the daughter of a baker who emigrated from Switzerland during the late 1800’s. They were poor and she began working in his shop when she was 5. Her father, short tempered and strict, never allowed his children to have any baked goods or supplies. Her older sister said Stacy could take some chocolate. When she did, her father whipped her for taking some. From that time on, she was never allowed in the shop by herself and had to work harder than any of her siblings.

Stacy was in shock as she said every time she ate chocolate she got violently ill. She was tested for allergies, but none could be found. She also said when people are upset with her, she breaks out in welts. The fragments from her past life were connected to her source chakras vs karmic chakra which create stronger, physical reactions.

When someone is surrounded by dominant individuals, normally a lesson of inner power needs to be learned.

However, in this case, Stacy was learning the lesson of respect and boundaries. She was also in the master soul group of the Care Taker which has the karmic energy of learning equality within one’s own needs.

her intelligence and problem solving abilities brings the energy back to the heart chakra to match her soul group of the Care Taker. The lesson of respect was affecting her root chakra which is also connected to financial stability. Therefore, it is important to balance the energy in that chakra to advance with financial success.

Stacy, a people pleaser came from the fear of not measuring up to people’s expectations of her which created a lack of respect. She had to understand her expectation of herself was high, but not high enough to break the energy cycles she created. Stacy eventually broke this cycle of energy by finding a level of equality and something she could respect in the next 23 people she met. As an added bonus, several weeks later Stacy got a new job with a higher income. Yeah Stacy!

Clearing the fragments and karmic chakras from a past life and mending the trigger points through the meridians so she could have chocolate without getting violently ill is only part of the healing process.

Changing her perception of the aspects of dominance will create a different mirror of energy for her to portray in others. Like energy will always attract like energy. Dominance is not about power; however, the fear of no power. Redirecting her power to be within

edic Astrology is also called "Jyotisha" in Sanskrit. The word can be split into ‘Jyoti’ + ‘Isha’. ‘Jyoti’ means ‘Light’ and ‘Isha’ comes from ‘Ishwar’ meaning ‘God’. So Jyotisha means the ‘Light of God’ or the ‘Light Of Creation.'

Deeply meditative yogis perceive this inner light in the space between the two eyebrows as a brilliant bubbling expanding light without a source. This light gives joy, peace, love and calmness to the meditating devotee. It helps us realize we are all born in that one image of God and we are part and parcel of that one unity which is binding this diverse world.

Vedic Astrology teaches us a soul enters a body in accordance with the past individual karma. The time, the place of birth, the family, the environment are given to the embodied soul as per the karma it is bringing from past lives. The law of karma states, “As you sow so shall you reap” meaning if one sows an apple seed, one gets an apple tree; if one sows a mango seed, one gets a mango tree; and, similarly, the kind of actions a human being has done in his or her previous incarnations the fruits of that actions (karma) one has to reap in this 8

current lifetime. Simply put, as Newtons third law of physics states, “For every action, there is an equal and opposite reaction." This means one has to go through certain events in this lifetime as per the karma of the previous incarnations. However, on the same token, if one does make supreme efforts to realize the non-dual light of God through regular deep meditation, then one has the potential to overcome the limitations of the individual karma and thus be free from all karma realizing the great Truth.

In Vedic Astrology, the zodiac sign which rises in the east at the time of birth is called as the ‘Ascendant’ or ‘Lagna.' The sanskrit word ‘Lagna’ means ‘wish/desire/ effort.' So, the Lagna of the individual soul shows as to where the efforts were focused towards in the previous incarnations: whether they were primarily focused towards worldly pursuits or primarily focused towards realizing the Truth (spiritual efforts) or the efforts were mixed (both material and spiritual). The placement of the ascendant lord (lagna lord) in the individual horoscope is of paramount importance as it gives the overall well being of the native. Moreover, it

gives a universal message that no matter what karma a person brings from the previous lives that one should focus the efforts in this life towards realizing that great Light and seeing everyone as their very own made in the same divine image. We are all one and to develop love and compassion for everyone is true realization.

There are 24 hours in a day. There are 12 zodiacal signs.

Since the earth’s orbit around the sun is elliptical, the movement of the earth through each zodiac sign is not linear. However, we can say it takes approximately two hours for the earth to move through each zodiac sign.

From the point of view of the earth, a new sign rises in the east approximately every two hours. This sign is called as the Ascendant or Lagna. This means the Lagna changes approximately every two hours during the day. Lagna in esoteric terms means the ‘binding factor’ which ties the soul to the body because of past life attachments and gives it a status of ‘jivatma’ (embodied soul).

In Vedic Astrology, every sign has a backdrop of a particular constellation of stars. They are fixed and are called Nakshatras. ‘Naksha’ means ‘map’ and ‘tra’ comes from the sanskrit word ‘tara’ meaning ‘star’.' Therefore, Nakshatra means ‘star map.' Another meaning comes from ‘Na+Ksha+Tra.' ‘Na’ means ‘Not.' ‘Ksha’ means ‘destructible’ and ‘Tra’ means ‘controlling power.' So the word 'Nakshatra' means the ‘non-destructible controlling power of the great Spirit.' If one zooms into a zodiac sign, we see the beauty of the fixed stars behind each zodiac sign which are many light years away. In Vedic Astrology, we take 27 constellations known as 27 Nakshatras. The constant radiation of stars and planets affect those living on the earth every moment. The study of the influence of these radiation impulses on the planet Earth which affect us can be called as Jyotish or ‘Vedic Astrology.' There is a saying that Jyotish without Nakshatras is incomplete just as a human body is incomplete without eyes. Nakshatras are the divine eyes of Jyotish through which one studies the subtle star impulses which affect us on earth in relation to our karmic past.

The position of the planets and the stars (nakshatras) which they lie in at the time of birth are drawn on a series of charts. These charts carrying the positions of

the planets in particular stars make up the individual horoscope of the native which are studied to guide the native in the current life. These astrological charts portray the karmic past and the scope of future results to come in this lifetime which may be altered through ancient Vedic Remedies given by the Sages and Saints from the ancient past.

tep into Your Power ... and FLY!

T

he Universe moves in mysterious ways ... and doth have a sense of humor! I know for a fact this is true because the Universe has turned my life completely upside down, inside out, and flipped it over a few times for good measure.

I have been Executive Director at the Temple for almost two years. When I came on board, Rev. Danielle and I discussed what we both knew: This was going to be a temporary position which worked out well for both of us.

After my spiritual journey began in 2005, I had no idea where I would be taken. I just let go and let the Universe

make the decisions as the ones I made didn't always turn out well. I had always been impatient. If I was not making progress fast enough, I would force the issue, twisting it and making it fit into my calendar. I have since learned "God has His Own Calendar" as I was told this during a strange meditation. The Universe shouted this in response to my yelling at God things weren't happening fast enough for me.

That was the old Basia. The new and improved Basia has learned, mostly the hard way, things have to "simmer" until all the flavors have combined to make a tasty feast fit for a Queen - me!

During March, I began offering private consultations to clients to guide them through trauma, release their negative baggage, and find peace.

On March 31, I received national accreditation for a year-long Masters Program and became a M.I.N.D.S. Alternative Holistic Psychology Master. April 4 was the last day of my teaching the 26-week program called Embracing Your Inner Child at the Temple on Monday nights. April 8 was my last day as Executive Director at the Temple of Light.

Rev. Basia Christ has a Ph.D. in Transformational Counseling and became a M.I.N.D.S. Alternative Holistic Psychology Master in March 2016. She is accepting clients who want to work one-on-one to let go of negative baggage, heal trauma and embrace their wounded inner child..

As of the first week in May, I began teaching "Step into Your Power ... and FLY!" at the Temple of Light on the 2nd and 4th Monday nights from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m., Awakenings in Laguna Hills on the 1st and 3rd Wednesdays from 10:30 a.m. to 12:30 p.m., and Vision & Dreams in Costa Mesa on the 2nd and 4th Thursdays from 7 p.m. to 9 p.m. as well as every Tuesday morning at a local domestic violence shelter as a volunteer.

There were times when I doubted this would happen.

My inner critic was - yes WAS - very strong and dominated my thoughts. NO MORE!

While writing my book, From Ash to Flame: Women Rising, I found the secret to life: not to serve, but to be of service. It has taken me a few more years to step out of my way and find the courage to "let go and let God" provide the courage and resources for me to step into my power.

I thank Rev. Danielle for her guidance and support in my decision as well as Choury DeVelle, Dr. Nicole Sirota, Deborah Shea, Targol Nejad, Faiz Mashood, D.C., and Marcie Howard for their friendship.

I thank the exhibitors of the Holistic Healing Fair I worked with closely. I am not saying "good-bye;"I will attend the fairs promoting Radiance as the Editor and Creative Director and my classes and practice, too.

I look forward to guiding others as they find the courage and faith to "step into their power ... and FLY!"

an Ghosts Be Responsible for My Misfortunes?

By Robyn Greenberg

S

ince I can remember, there was always a lack of love and warmth in my home. My mom struggled with depression and often complete strangers had to take care of me. When I was a little girl I couldn’t understand why my mom was always sad, unkempt, and didn’t have the strength to drop me off at school.

When I was senior in high school, my mom started to take psychotropic drugs and mixing them with alcohol.

No therapy, conversation, or plea could help her. I 12

Radiance May/June 2016

decided to go to a college far away from her because I thought I would lose my mind if I stayed.

I graduated with honors and few days before I picked up my diploma, I was offered a high-paying job in a financial firm. Two years later, I met my husband.

I don’t know exactly when I started to feel bad, but these bad feelings slowly took control of my life.

First, I felt tired constantly even though I slept up to nine hours at night. I began to experience horrible

migraines and stomach aches. Next, I stopped having interest in the things I loved doing. My husband and I argued more often about petty things; sometimes I felt like I would explode during our fights.

The worst was the feeling of constant emotional pain and states of irrational anxiety. My doctor prescribed antidepressants and anxiety meds. I spent the next two years talking to therapists and taking a variety of drugs, but nothing helped.

One day I saw an television interview with Wanda Pratnicka, an exorcist from Poland. She was talking about people who suffered from symptoms similar to mine. She said these symptoms could be caused by souls who didn’t cross to the other side after death and attached themselves to a living person.

Wanda claimed she has helped tens of thousands of people around the world for more than 45 years. A few of her clients were also being interviewed with her.

She mentioned she only helps people at a distance and doesn’t need to have direct contact with her client.

I called Wanda’s office to ask for her help for me and my mom since she struggled all her life, also. When I received the confirmation both of us have souls attached, I asked for us to be registered for the socalled “cleansing.”

After a month of cleansing, I noticed I had become much calmer and the feeling of sadness was less intense.

After two months, I felt as if the heavy burden I had been carrying was taken away. My mood improved significantly.

And my mom?

After two months, she arrived at my home without any announcement. At first I did not recognize the woman standing in front of me. She looked 15 years younger, was nicely dressed, and had a warm smile on her face.

At that moment, I understood the pain she had been going through all those years and why she wasn’t able to take care of me. A feeling of love filled me. I was able to finally forgive her.

Author Wanda Pratnicka is a psychologist and parapsychologist with degrees from the Institute of Economics and Culture in Moscow. She is the bestselling author of Possessed by Ghosts – Exorcisms in the 21st Century and the series In the Wheel of Life: Volumes 1-3.

Her most recent book is Know the Truth and Be Free.

Rev. Annette Drake God is My Source ...of Course!

Stop Talking About What You Don't Want

Every thought you think is a prayer. Every word you speak is a prayer. Every act in which you engage is a prayer, because the Spirit of God lives in you. ~ Iyanla Vanzant

The Spirit of God is the Creative Power of the Universe.

When you speak or think into that Power, you are calling into form that which you either want or don’t want to show up in your life.

Your word has great Power. Always remember this, and be alert and aware what you send out in your words and thoughts.

14

Radiance May/June 2016

This Creative Power doesn’t know if you want what you speak, or not. It just responds to what you send out into It. It is like a receptive mold into which you pour your thoughts and words, and it gives back to you exactly what you poured into it.

Here is one way to stop thinking and speaking about what you don’t want in your life. I didn’t pen this but I use it all the time.

The words of the tongue should have three gatekeepers. ~ An Arab Proverb

The proverb states that before our words get past our

lips, the first gatekeeper must ask, “Is this true?”

So, let’s pause before any word escapes our lips and consciously ask ourselves, “Is what I’m about to say the truth of this person or this situation?”

This question in itself will stop many words from ever escaping our lips.

However, if the words get past the first gatekeeper, there is a second gatekeeper who asks, “Is it kind?”

Rev. Annette has served as Senior Minister for the First Church of Religious Science (now the Center for Spiritual Living, Fullerton) for the past 20 years. In her years of service, she has taught classes, held seminars, counseled many clients and performed weddings and memorial services. “My years of service have been the most rewarding time of my life. I love inspiring people and lifting the spirits of those around me.”

Her new slogan “New Day – New Way” says it all. Every day is a chance to build a new inspired life, filled with love, harmony, peace, health, prosperity and all that you desire.

Often we react with a sharp comeback or biting retort rather than respond from the heart with kind and thought-filled response.

Let’s remember we live in a kind and loving universe and our call is to be in alignment with the Universe through the love and kindness of our words.

The last gatekeeper asks, “Is it necessary?”

How many things have we said over the course of our lifetime that perhaps would have been best left unsaid?

As of today, we never have to do that again, if we will stop and remember this third gatekeeper, "Is what I’m about to say really necessary?"

Applying the three gatekeepers, our conversations should be truth filled, kind, and meaningful.

Why is it so important to make good choices with our words? Because We Create Our World With Our Choice of Words!

You are in charge of your mind and as such, you, and only you, are in charge of creating your life the way you want it.

2016: The Year of Undoing

unworthy or unfit This is the year I will undulate with desire, as I unleash my orgasmic bliss into the World This is the year my passion will be uninhibited This is the year my story will no longer remain untold

By Monique Hemingway This is the year I will drop society’s labels as I am

I channel messages from different entities and unseen friends. The following I received on New Year’s Day 2016 was powerful. I was doing yoga on the beach, connecting to the warm Sun above, the Earth below and the waves before me. It was a delicious moment in time; I could have lived in it for an eternity.

Suddenly, a golden, radiant energy pulsed through me.

I “knew” it was the Divine Mother; we had connected before in this blissful state of Zen and tranquility. She had a message which poured forth at lightning speed.

She had something to say. She wanted to be heard and witnessed on that sandy beach. She is the creative force who brings forth life and manifests goodness. She is the inspiration within each of us. She is the nurturer and the protector. She is a strong powerful force, yet soft and vulnerable. She is both warrior and Goddess.

For me it is a personal, potent message, but it also holds great Universal Truth for all. Let us honor the Divine Feminine within us (male or female) and let us proclaim this be “2016: The Year of Undoing.”

This is the year I came to undo what has been done

This is the year I become unhinged, unglued, unzipped and let loose

This is the year I will be unstoppable and my power undeniable This is the year I answer unto myself, unapologetic as I bear my Truth This is the year I stop being unfaithful to my Wisdom This is the year my wings will unfurl and I will take flight.

This is the year I will pulse unconditional love to the unsuspecting World This is the year I will unwind and untie all that has entrapped me; for I am to be set free This is the year I become uncorked and my elixir will flow undaunted This is the year I will unveil myself for all to see, naked, raw and unashamed This is the year I will dive into the unknown; fearless and unafraid This is the year I will no longer allow others to deem me 16

Radiance May/June 2016

undefinable

This is the year I will be unanchored and set sail This is the year my voice will no longer be unheard; my message no longer unspoken This is the year my pain will no longer be unbearable This is the year that Mankind will realize my Spirit is unbroken This is the year of my quest for Truth and Knowledge will be unquenchable This is the year my Wild heart will live untamed, uncaged and uninhibited This is the year where I will soothe the Souls of the unforgiven This is the year my unclaimed treasures of ecstasy will be unearthed This is the year my fierceness will be unrelentless and my Grace unending This is the year when all that is unreal will be seen This is the year YOU will unroll the red carpet for your Majesty has arrived!

Unity Church A Matter of Perception both wrong. An elephant is like a spear.”

The fourth man touched the elephant’s leg and announced, “No, it’s not. An elephant is like a tree.”

The fifth man touched the ear of the elephant and proudly announced, “How silly you all are. An elephant is like a fan.”

The last man grabbed the trunk of the elephant and confidently declared, “You are all wrong. An elephant is like a snake.”

Each blind man was convinced he was correct in what he had discovered and argued with the others. Each believed they were telling the truth and the others were lying.

Following is an old Indian parable about blind men and an elephant: One day a woman asked six blind men to come and see the elephant she had brought into town with her.

As the six men gathered together, they tried to decipher what an elephant looked like. Because they were blind, they thought the only way to tell what the animal looked like was to touch it. They each took a turn touching the elephant and then shared what they discovered.

The first man touched the elephant on the side and declared, “Oh, I know, an elephant is like a wall.”

The second man touched the elephant’s tail and exclaimed, “No, an elephant is like a rope!”

The third man touched the tusk and claimed, “You are

Often the same holds true for us in life. No one can really say who is right and who is wrong in any situation because each of us perceives a part of the Truth based on our personal history. These perceptions are based on experiences and usually not on the facts.

It is our perception which often bring about difficulties in relationships. When we judge others, we are judging them based on our limited context about them and the situation. Since we really don’t know much about the other person’s intentions or their situation, we sometimes interpret their actions as an indication of who they are.

For example, if you are rushing your child to the hospital because they have been injured and in your hurry, cut someone off, you justify it because you had continued on page 18 >>

Spirit

<< continued from page 17 the right intention – to save your child.

However, if someone cuts you off in traffic, you might complain or get angry. However, you do not know if they had some emergency that caused their haste.

Judging others is an unworthy use of our mind, souls, and bodies. When we do this, our perception is based on our experience about that person and not really on the facts. The cashier in the grocery store who seemed rude and inattentive may have just received some shattering news which upset them. The person who was short with you on the phone might be waiting for an important call about a loved one who is in the hospital.

Remember the saying, “Don't judge a person until you have walked a mile in their shoes.” It is important for the health of our soul to remove judgment and condemnation from our lives.

If you are interested in strengthening your spiritual muscles, try this great spiritual exercise: go 21 days without judging or criticizing another. This is also an eye opening lesson in humility.

ealing Through Art

F

eelings of grief and disappointment from the loss of a loved one or the dissolution of a marriage can be challenging to overcome.

Therapy in some form is valuable to assist in our healing. Traditional psychological counseling is one form of therapy, but do you know ART can also be therapeutic and healing?

Allow me to share my journey of creating art as a form of therapy as I worked through my personal grief and growth.

When my marriage was ending, I was having feelings of anger, loss, disappointment, and grief which were

By David Wells

weighing me down in my daily thoughts. During this time, I attended an Art Crawl and it changed my life. I was inspired by the art I saw as my eyes opened to the brilliant colors, different textures, and variety. I spent several hours in one building talking to the artists.

While there, I met one artist who became my teacher.

I created art weekly with this person. During my first lesson, I worked with oil pastels and created a colorful, vibrant yellow and red artwork that I called “Joy.”

Each week’s lesson introduced a new technique. At one point, my teacher said the best thing I could do to continued on page 20 >>

May/June 2016 Radiance

Spirit

<< continued from page 19 advance my skills was to have a regular space with my paints available so I could walk in and create.

I made one phone call to the artist building where I was originally inspired and just as fate works in mysterious ways, I was told “a studio opened up yesterday.” I signed the contract and it became mine.

I began to create my art in a tremendous burst of creativity. In retrospect, I learned being in the creative process is healing for the soul; my soul came alive through art. I was expressing myself, working through my feelings, and allowing the intuitive process to become dominant. After each session, I noticed my stress was relieved. I was elated and happy; I was managing my emotions better.

I opened my studio and participated in the next Art Crawl as a professional. My art was well received. I developed a local following and was awarded “Artist of the Year.”

Over time, my art and I evolved and expanded in ways I never imagined. I discovered some artwork evoked a healing and calming effect, while others raise the energy of the room to a higher, more engaging level.

Many of my clients tell me they are inspired and feel happy every time they look at my art. Some works are created by intention to increase feelings of hope, joy and happiness; increase health; and improve prosperity. As a channel for Spirit when I create art, I bring in healing energies. I also channel energy as a healer where I use the techniques of energy medicine for my clients’ health. It’s no wonder my art contains healing energy!

Are you ready to process your emotions and express yourself by creating beautiful, expressive art?

If you are, please attend a new workshop as part of the Sacral Saturdays Program which can help you to expand your inner gifts, release unwanted layers of yourself and find your expression through art. I will teach you how to create art with intention, to bring in energies you call forward.

The first public workshop will be held on May 14 from 9:00 a.m. to 11 a.m. at Temple of Light, 11 Goddard, Irvine. If you would enjoy a private workshop for 20

Animystic Adventures Soulmate Pets Choose Us Nearly 20 years ago, I did not go into a pet store to buy a dog. I was just going to buy a leash and collar for a Sheltie I might meet at a local farm. Besides, few pet stores sold Shelties, so I was safe. I knew little of puppy mills and the like. If so, would I have gotten my beloved Jayce that day? Maybe not, but he was meant to be mine, and I, his.

As luck, or the Universe, would have it, there was a lone 4-1/2 month old Sheltie pup locked in a 2x4' glass kennel. I wavered, but the fresh-faced 18-year-old store manager saw my interest, walked over and sadly said, “Please, he is my favorite puppy. He has been here so long. I am worried about him. I’ll give you all the free materials you will need if you like him. He’s a great guy.”

I went to a little room. The puppy sprinted once lengthwise across the room and back again, then stopped against my side as I sat on the floor, leaned his little sable and white body into me, and stayed very still, staring into my eyes with his brandy-colored ones. His mouth open in a happy grin.

If I had known animal communication then, I would have read that look as, “Thank goodness. I have been waiting for you. Let’s go have a life!”

It took about 5 minutes. I said, “Ok. You can come home!” I figured it was Kismet.

Jayce chose me. He was what I call a "soulmate" animal.

If you had or have one, you know it. They are the ones you tell friends are like people trapped in fur.

Here’s to the one I could tell anything to; the one I left parties for because I would rather be with him; the one I bought a new car for because regular cars made him car sick; the one I promised to let a little boy run with one day and did, five years later; the one who won fetch competitions at the local park; the one who played fetch for two hours straight;the one who put his long white paws out to love on me any time I was sad or lonely, or whenever he wanted attention; the one who put his long white paws out and wrapped my arms in a hug as if to say, “I’m ok to go now,” the day his legs gave

out and it was clear he would never run or fetch again.

If you have had this kind of pet, you know it. Maybe he or she was a childhood friend, or a pet who passed 15 years ago, but when you think of him or her, your heart simultaneously swells and squeezes with a bittersweet mix of love and laughter for who he was, and deep sorrow you can’t stroke his fur one more time.

Recognize your soulmate animal. Spend time honoring the bond, thanking him or her for choosing you, and do your favorite things. Here’s to Jayce, I miss you, Jayce, every single day. You taught me what it means to love an animal, and you are missed by many, many people.

Kara created Pet’s Eye View to help pets and their families create stronger bonds by using telepathic skills and deep animal knowledge. She is an animal communicator, EFT and Reiki practitioner. One of her horse clients won Reserve Champion World Championships with Kara’s intuitive guidance. If you have a problem with pets that don’t get along, a question about an older animal, or one who has passed, please contact me. I unleash your animal’s voice and work with you on strengthening the bond you have with your special pet.

Nancy Kimes Healing Your Past Relationships Feng Shui Your Heart be strong and independent. Take the time to learn and acknowledge what you want without attaching a face to it as you start over.

There is no easy way to heal. Be gentle with yourself and let love fill the emptiness. Never lose sight of the good memories you had together.

In time the pain will subside. This is not a time to stop living. Your loved one would want you to heal and be happy. Holding on to grief keeps the pain in the present. It hurts because you feel left behind! But you deserve happiness. Allow yourself the time you need, to grieve then renew your life to its fullest potential.

It is hard to move on when you are still hurting, angry or upset over a break-up or divorce. But is it really over?

Not always.

Feelings and associations can still linger and be regenerated over and over again in your mind. You may think, "If only I did this or that. If only I opened my eyes and saw it coming."

This keeps the hurt and pain alive.

Sometimes when you are trying to run away from your feelings, they get misplaced and dumped onto future relationships. This can open up new wounds and conflicts. Many people do not give 28

themselves enough time to heal and learn from the experience. To understand the full picture takes inward discernment. This will help you make better choices and give you a chance to begin with a new set of principles and values which can protect you from making the same mistakes.

Of course, you may continue to recycle relationships until you do or see things differently. Believe in yourself; honor what you want and need. Surround yourself with the comfort and admiration of your friends and family who support you.

Embrace your time and freedom between relationships. Learn to

A Feng Shui altar in the Relationships Area will honor and empower the good memories you shared. It will help bring closure and bring opportunities for companionship, friendship, and eventually open your heart to love again so you can perceive love on your terms.

Immerse yourself in situations that express love more fully, through your children or grandchildren, through nature, or the love your pets want to offer you. Animals can be sensitive to your emotions and harbor these feelings, too!

Understand the patterns in relationships to give you a clue to important factors on why things did not work out. Review the situation, your attitude and what you were or were not willing to do.

Relationships are built on honesty, trust and integrity as well as LOVE! If you trust each other, a strong bond will form. Sometimes you give 50% in a relationship, and other times you give 100%.

As you learn about and nurture each other, you will grow together.

Relationships can be as simple or complicated as you make them.

When it is obvious the relationship is not working, it is best to move on. Do not settle for one that is not supportive or blocking your potential. Your perfect mate is waiting to meet you. You deserve the best!

If you’re a highly sensitive person like me, you know little things can be too much. Busy environments, violent images in movies, or days with little downtime can stress you out. Because you’re so in tune with your environment and other people, life can be pretty exhausting and non-sensitives don’t understand.

But there’s nothing wrong with you and you’re not alone. High sensitivity is actually fairly common, found in 15 to 20 percent of the population. Both introverts and extroverts can be sensitive.

Sadly, because many people don’t understand what high sensitivity is, you may have been told to “toughen up” or “just get over it.” You may

High sensitivity can make life challenging, but not impossible. When I’m in a routine and doing plenty of self-care, I forget about my sensitivity.

However, a recent trip reminded me of how frazzled I can get. How can we, as highly sensitive people, cope with our trait? Here are 9 things we need:

Noisy, high-pressure situations are overstimulating and wreak havoc on a sensitive person’s highly reactive nervous system.

If you know you’ll be in a situation that will frazzle you, plan some time to decompress in a quiet space.

Sensitive people may cry or become emotional a lot. We can’t help but express what we're feeling,” We show anger AND happiness. Appreciating that is really important.

4. A gentle, healthy way of managing conflict

This doesn’t mean we’re prone to relationship hopping, rather, we actually work harder to inspire intimacy and interesting conversation. This behavior

Sensitive people tend to feel extra anxious when conflict arises — and an internal battle takes place. We feel torn between speaking up for what we believe is right and sitting back so we don’t provoke an angry reaction from the other person.

5. Time to get things done

2. Meaningful relationships

We get bored or restless in shallow relationships.

Basically, it makes us happy to make others happy.

3. People who support us

1. Time to decompress

goes for friends, family members, and co-workers as well.

Sensitive people like a slower pace of life. We like pondering all our options before making a decision and regularly reflecting on our experiences.

We hate busy schedules and rushing from one event to the next.

6. Plenty of sleep

Lack of sleep for the sensitive person can make life almost unbearable. Getting enough

sleep soothes my ramped-up senses and helps me process my thoughts and emotions. How much sleep I get can literally make or break my next day.

7.

Healthy meals throughout the day

spaced

When I don’t eat regularly, I get cranky. To fend off feelings of crankiness and discombobulation, I maintain a steady blood sugar level throughout the day by eating regular healthy meals and snacks.

8. A space of our own

If you live with others, make sure you have a quiet place you can retreat to when you need to get away from noise and people.

9. Beauty and nature Like most sensitive people, I’m deeply affected by my surroundings.

Cluttered, chaotic, environments bother me. Spending time in nature is critical.

When it comes down to it, the key is to embrace your sensitivity rather than work against it. Sensitive people make incredible leaders, partners, and friends. We have high levels of empathy and we’re usually creative and perceptive. Maybe the world could use a little more of what we have.

Facts about the Summer Solstice

On June 20, many Northern Hemisphere time zones will celebrate the first day of summer as the Sun reaches its northernmost position in the sky. This day is associated with change, nature, and new beginnings. People celebrate the Summer solstice in the Northern Hemisphere and the Winter solstice in the Southern Hemisphere.

An Ancient Celebration

In ancient times, people organized calendars and determined when to plant and harvest crops on this day.

Stonehenge

Some believe Stonehenge, erected around 2500 BCE, established the date of the Summer solstice. Viewed from its center, the sun rises at a particular point on the horizon on this day.

Celebrating Femininity in China

In ancient China, people celebrated the Earth, femininity, and â&#x20AC;&#x153;yin" forces which complemented the Winter solstice which celebrated the heavens, masculinity and â&#x20AC;&#x153;yang" forces.

Midsummer Feasts

In ancient Gaul, which encompasses France and parts of its neighboring 32

Radiance May/June 2016

countries, this day was called the Feast of Epona, named after a mare goddess who personified fertility and protected horses.

Ancient Germanic, Slav and Celtic tribes celebrated with bonfires.

After Christianity spread in Europe, pagan customs were incorporated into the Christian religion.

Honoring the Sun

In North America, some Native Americans held dances. They cut and raised a tree, a visible connection between the heavens and Earth. they arranged teepees in a circle to represent the cosmos.

They abstained from food and drink and decorated their bodies

in symbolic colors: red (sunset), blue (sky), yellow (lightning), white (light), and black (night).

New Age and Neopagan customs

Many solstice observances are held

by New Age and Neopagan groups throughout the world. Thousands of people, including modern-day druids and pagans, usually gather at Stonehenge for this occasion.

In the U.S., events include festivals featuring art or music; environmental awareness activities which focus on using natural sunlight as a source of energy; and family gatherings.

Omni-Dimensional Mystery School Modern Day Mastery & Mysticism Have you thought about what your life would be like if you were able to use your gifts, telepathic communiation or clairaudience, clairsentience and clairvoyance, to communicate with Spirit, your Master Guides and the animals?

My intention in asking this is to tell you your Mastery lies in your DNA and only needs to be activated to become useful in your daily life.

The power of love is the answer to our challenges and questions.

Sometimes we forget we are the Creators and Co-Creators of our lives and the world around us.

Society has taught us about lack and how to compete to win. It encourages us to think and analyze challenges to find the answers.

I was opened to my spiritual gifts in 1994 after a near death experience and discovered quickly when you give permission to open to your gifts, it does not have to be long and difficult. I was shown how to move back into the â&#x20AC;&#x153;feelingâ&#x20AC;? state of life and to open my heart. My first teachers were a cat and some dolphins.

Then came clear communication with my Angelic Guides. There is a frequency or vibration with which they communicate I call the heart's radio station, the vibration you want to live within to create a life of Mastery! Living in the heart

is profound and powerful. When your consciousness is centered in the heart, the mind relaxes and an amazing thing happen. You will only think loving, positive things where it will be easy to create only loving, positive things.

Over the years, my work as an animal communicator has led me to teach these concepts, and become a Spiritual Life Coach. I discovered

anyone with desire or intention to change to a heart-centered life can do it. We have the software, or operating systems, to live and create from our hearts. When you make this decision, your Third Eye or Pineal gland will naturally activate and communicate with the higher frequencies of Spirit. continued on page 34 >>

Marcie Howard

The Sound of Healing ReikiSounds Years ago when I began my singing career, it occurred to me singing was not just for the “special” few.

Singing was something anyone could do provided they had vocal chords which could produce sound.

And, within each of us was a healing instrument – the voice. I know many people would not agree with me; however, I am talking about singing or producing sound from within us to heal and not to entertain someone.

If you can speak, you can sing. It is that simple!

Sound comes forth from us and every living creature on this planet.

In fact, if we remove the language from the equation, we are totally free to communicate with vibration, energy and sound without boundaries. Only our limiting beliefs can surround us with unseen barriers.

Try it. Test it. The next time you see a lizard, sing to it. Hum, make a sound, create a melody, and watch it stop, turn its head and listen to you.

Sing to a crow, sing to a butterfly, sing to your dog or cat. Chances are you will receive a response from them. Yes, I know – not just howling – but a true response.

The sound of healing is just this simple. We know as conscious human beings touch is a blessing.

Reaching out to a sick child, an

elderly person, or someone in pain can make a huge difference in their lives. So, too, with “sound,” singing, and music. We can soothe these people, hold and cradle them in our voice or with sound and melody. This type of vibration has the power to calm, allow for peace, provide spaciousness, and help us to feel “well,” feel whole. Is this not “healing?”

hy Choose a Holistic Dentist?

olistic dentists consider the health of your entire body and its relationship with your mouth and oral health. They believe poor oral health leads to poor physical health and your mouth is a key entry point to the rest of the body. Toxicity, disease or infection can spread through the bloodstream to every tissue, organ and cell in your body.

Holistic dentists are passionate about their specialty and educating themselves and their patients about the importance of the mouth/body connection. They focus on mercury-safe, holistic, and bio-compatible practices.

Holistic dentistry is mercury safe-dentistry. Mercury fillings are removed in a unique way which protects 36

both the practitioner and the patient. A specific, strict protocol is followed by holistic dentists as outlined by the International Academy of Oral Medicine and Toxicology. For instance, these dentists use a latexfree rubber dam and a high vacuum, mercury vapor suction. The patient breathes pure oxygen during the procedure and the dentist uses a specific technique to keep the mercury vapor exposure to all at a minimum.

The holistic dentist uses safe, compatible techniques and materials for each patient's mouth and whole body such as bio-compatible, highly cosmetic and mercuryfree dental materials. Ozone therapy (an energized form of oxygen) eradicates anaerobes naturally in many ways and is the perfect medicine. It eradicates bacteria, viruses, mold, yeast and oral anaerobes as it

stimulates the immune system for rapid healing with remarkable results.

Many people who seek a holistic dentist have acute sensitivities or allergies to traditional dental materials. However, holistic dentists believe mercurysafe dentistry can lead to improved health for those suffering from chronic conditions which they may not realize are related to their mouth. Poor oral health affects every part of the body and general health.

Recent research has proven what has long been suspected; your teeth can make you sick. Intuitively people have known this for thousands of years.

Logically it makes perfect sense.

Following are some important facts:

 Mercury escapes from fillings, becomes stored in your body, and causes disease.

 Gum infection is a known risk factor for heart disease, stroke, diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, premature birth, low birth weight babies, cancer and Alzheimer's.  Root canalled teeth are proven reservoirs of toxic bacteria.

 Improperly extracted teeth may form areas of incompletely healed bone which are a breeding ground for bacteria and their toxins  You can be allergic to materials used to fill your teeth just as you can be allergic to food or other environmental substances.

In summary, holistic dentistry is a more complete, thorough approach to wellness than traditional dentistry.

Holistic Dentists deal with the mind, body, and spirit of their patients, not just their "teeth” based on the following: • Proper nutrition for the prevention and reversal of degenerative dental disease • Avoidance and elimination of toxins from dental materials • Prevention and treatment of bite problems and physical imbalance • Prevention and treatment of gum disease at its biological basis Dr. Kayhan uses a digital X-ray machine with 50% lower radiation and porcelain amalgams.

Steps to Achieving Your Health Goals

ood health means a lot of things to many different people. For some, it could mean running a marathon. For others, it could be having normal blood pressure. Some people may even think it means looking good in a bathing suit.

Doctors look at test results to see if you are healthy and patients look at what their bodies can do to determine if their health is good. As much as it is objective, it is also subjective.

It becomes confusing when you “Google” tips to be healthy. One article may say to do “this,” while another article says to do “that.” Are they both right? Are they both wrong? Who do you trust? Who do you ignore?

While there is no definite answer to these questions, you can follow the following general steps regardless of your fitness or nutritional goals which will get you started in the right direction: 1. Write Your Health Goals

38

This is the most important step in getting started.

They need to be written often and defined clearly. If you don’t write them and instead try to remember them in your head, they lose their power. They can change. You can forget about them. You can settle. By doing this, you will stay committed even Radiance May/June 2016

By Dr. Ben Horning, D.C. when you get busy and life gets in the way (and it always does). You have a set target you know you are actively working towards. When you reach it, celebrate and then choose a bigger, better health goal to keep you motivated and prevent you from reverting back to your old ways. Once again, always strive for new goals once you hit your goal.

2. Make it Easy to Eat Healthy and Work Out

As I mentioned previously, life will get in the way.

If you know this beforehand, you can prepare for it. For example, if your office only has a microwave, buy a portable oven or hot plate and bring it to work. If you have free time on the weekends, spend an hour or two prepping and cooking meals for the following week. If you don’t have a gym partner to work out with, hire a personal trainer or join workout classes. Get started with this early in your goal. So when life does get in the way, you can still eat healthy and workout.

3. Get Chiropractic Care

Regular Chiropractic Care will recharge your body.

Chiropractic adjustments will help your nerves give your body the best chance to improve. Nerves go to every muscle, cell, organ, and gland in the body. continued on page 40 >>

I have seen amazing transformations with Chiropractic Adjustments. By making consistent Chiropractic Care part of your health program, you will see many positive changes and an extra edge on achieving your health goals.

4. Eat Organic

There is debate in the U.S. about whether GMOs are healthy or not. However, in many countries around the world, GMOs are completely banned for health reasons. My recommendation is to use organic foods and buy locally if you can to help family farms as an additional benefit. Farmers Markets have a variety of healthy food products. Fresh veggies and fruits have a great deal of vitamins and minerals which help your body improve and grow. Buy grass fed meats that have not been injected with antibiotics/ hormones because they may get passed onto you and cause health problems. The more organic you eat, the better you will feel.

5. Exercise

Exercise is critical for your health. Find sports or workout routines you like to do. Work out consistently, but schedule days of rest throughout the week. Laying around every day will not help you. Movement is life, so keep moving. If your motivation is low, join a workout group or get a personal trainer to force you to show up and work out. If you are in pain, start slowly, but keep moving.

6. Drink Water

It is a fact your body needs water to survive. You need to drink water - and a lot of it – every day to ensure you get all the benefits from the healthy foods you will consume. If you don’t, your body will have a harder time filtering your blood and keeping you healthy. Also, there are certain vitamins which need water to be ingested into your cells.

7. Surround Yourself with Like-minded People

Be with people who are successfully reaching their positive health goals and are continually raising Radiance May/June 2016

the bar to do more. Those “naysayers” who try to make you feel bad for trying to improve, are not your friends. I suggest you get new friends.

For example, if you are trying to become a body builder, who would you choose to be your friends?

Other body builders or people who do not believe in lifting weights? I hope you would choose other body builders, but this does not always happen.

Sometimes “friends” force their views on you and it affects your health. Junk food and certain people can be toxic. If you have supportive friends, great. If you don’t, make friends with people who share the same goals as you. You will be happier and it will help improve your health.

8. Stay Persistent

It’s one thing to do something for a week or two; it’s another thing to make it part of your life. You have to create a new mindset and change your way of life. You will have challenges. Time. Money. People.

Be aware of these road blocks beforehand and persist through them. If your uncle always asks you to watch football with him and he has a beer and eats chips while watching, know when he asks you over, he will offer you beer and chips. Persist past this. If you have to work overtime, find a way to schedule a work out during the day. Persist onward.

If you cheat on your diet, make it a cheat meal, not a cheat day. Acknowledge you slipped, but move past it and not succumb to it.

You will be more successful in achieving your health goals if you follow these steps. They look simple and it is possible when you are done reading this article, you will put down the magazine and think “Wow, that was a great article” and forget about it. I hope you don’t.

Follow my advice. It is worth it. These steps work and you need to do them all. Good luck.

Carol Leilani Transform Your Energy

Addictions CAN be healed QUICKLY! REALLY! My standing mantra is "Change your energy, change your life" and I see it over and over again. Change the energetic makeup instead of chipping away at the symptom. Treating the symptom, is like putting a BandAid on a huge gunshot wound. You have to get at the core, at the cause. I trace this back in time when I do the client intake, and I ask them, something like, "When did you start drinking?"That usually gives me the core issue, the cause. I often find that it is grief, that was just too painful to deal with, so alcohol or substance was used as a form of self-medication, to numb the intense pain. It's all understandable. It all makes sense, if you look at it from this point of view. So then, I know where to go, to pull out the patterns, to pull out the pain, the grief, and clean out the suppressed negative emotions that have built up there.

He was healed of his alcoholism, had a spiritual awakening, and in less than a month, decided to leave his university position and to come back to America, and start his nonprofit organization to help Gaia.

Then there is the energetic work of pulling out the cravings which the spirits in the substance create in a person. They call alcohol "spirits" for a good reason!

Without pulling them out, there is no chance of healing addiction. I pull these out of the systems, and I also pull out the taste for it in the taste buds as well. People report absolutely no cravings or desire for alcohol after the treatment.

Energy system clearings,

I go in and do energetic style "surgery" and extract karmic seeds, of trauma, that causes one's life to loop the same , over and over. When these get extracted, then a person has real freedom. Again, the cause, is removed, giving them a blank slate, and fresh start, for real. Clients report feeling free.

Then of course, the liver and organs need to be cleansed.

And the BRAIN needs a lot of cleansing.

And the outer layers of the aura need to be cleansed, mental, emotional, spiritual, body, psychological, etc.

One of my clients is saving $1,000 a month on alcohol.

That's $12,000 a year he can use for something else!

The only things you need, basically, is to be really ready for change, and to find someone who really knows how to help you with what you need, and put on your seat belt for rapid change!

Doctor Designed Wellness "You gave me my life back!"

Meet Kathleen and learn how Doctor Designed Wellness and Weight Loss helped changed her life.

I discovered Dr. DiSiena at the Temple of Light Holistic Healing Fair and attended his lecture. Afterwards, I spoke with his assistant at their booth and fell in love with her and her attitude.

I made an appointment and knew I was taking the best first step to getting better. I had done Weight Watchers, Jenny Craig, and various diet plans, but needed the support and accountability along with medical help.

I liked the 16-week program with maintenance because it made more sense to me. I cut out foods which cause inflammation and cravings and began eating â&#x20AC;&#x153;real foodâ&#x20AC;? food along with the shake/ bar and supplements. It was the right time for me. I added up what I would spend in junk/fast food and it was equivalent to what I would spend on the program.

After the first month, I had more energy, the sugar cravings had subsided, and I loved to cook the new recipes. The weight came off steadily, and I didn't feel like I was starving; on the contrary, I was eating whole food all the time.

With the lab work, we found that my bones hurt because my Vitamin D levels were close to zero. After taking Vitamin D, my levels are now normal. My triglycerides had been high. By following the program, this number was cut in half and are in the low normal range. Before getting on the program, my blood pressure had begun to increase (thank goodness it had always been low) and is now back to what it was when I was a teenager! All my labs have dramatically changed for the better.

I've lost weight and body fat, yes, but what I gained is selfesteem and a complete change in eating patterns. I don't snore and sleep better.

(And now the tears fall) I'm so grateful for all the love and support from Dr. DiSiena, Alex, Liz and the entire staff. Alex was a wonderful support, keeping me on track, providing encouragement, recipes and her light. Liz, I

Radiance May/June 2016

am grateful for her checking in on me after I began the program, and love keeping in touch with her. Dr. D, thank you for giving me my life back.

I NEVER thought it would be possible to not want to eat all the cookies, cakes, or sugar around me. I have a bite or two on rare occasion - or ask "is it worth it?" My big vice is still coffee... but much less than I used to drink. Okay... still don't exercise, work in progress. At least I can go on a 3-mile walk and not be winded.

I'm on maintenance now. What I learned has become a way of life. I don't want to go back or feel the way I did.

People ask me how much I have lost or what my goal is. .I tell them my goal is my health; the weight will eventually settle where it is supposed to be. If you want to be healthy or make a change, just do it. Follow the simple instructions, make changes slowly, and ask for help. It can be done with a little work.
