Testimonial I absolutely LOVE exploring the contents of the new issue of Radiance. Each page offers something new to explore from a wide variety of modalities for my healing, and to share with others as well. It’s a reflection of the diverse, rich and abundant community we live in!

It’s important for society’s wellbeing that we bring awareness to the importance of a holistic (mind / body / spirit) approach to health, and I’m pleased more medical doctors are integrating these healthy modalities into their practices as well.

A note from the publisher Business and Spiritual Life Coach Donna Bond was honored with the first “Radiant Community Member Award” by Radiance Magazine. For more photos of this heart-filled wellness community event, turn to page 38.

Scott Ware is the Publisher and Editor of Radiance Magazine.

Did you know Cedar Sinai Hospital in Los Angeles offers free Reiki/Energy Healing to its patients, as does Hoag Hospital in Orange County? Did you hear about the hospital in Henderson, Nevada that now offers patients essential oils before prescribing opioids?

More medical centers are moving away from treating only the problem and addressing the whole person’s wellbeing; a holistic approach. UCI’s Susan Samueli Integrative Health Institute’s mission is “to treat the whole person, not just the disease... Integrative medicine uses both traditional and nontraditional medical services to treat the mind, body and spirit.” They offer Acupuncture, Massage, Biofeedback, Yoga, Herbal Medicine, Supplements, and Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction.

The goal is to honor ourselves by seeking out the best care for our body, mind and soul with the best services available.

Also, more people are discovering the wellness benefits an Intuitive Reader can provide.

Quite a bit, it turns out—we’re not talking about “fortune tellers” from the movies and sitcoms. Check out the feedback Intuitive Clairvoyant Rain Finelove posted on Facebook recently after giving an intuitive reading: This work that has chosen me is incredibly satisfying. People refer to this as "a reading" but it is much more. Lilly says I break people open... And make them aware of things they bury, don't want to see, or are not aware of…

And then they can move forward toward what they truly want. Seeing the effects of transformation on a client after the third full session...

It was like he had found nirvana… He said, "If I had all the money from all the drugs that I bought to try to feel the way I do now, I could retire. I don't know

Now that is a testimonial.

Here’s to your total wellbeing,

how you ladies do what you do but it is life changing."

From Paramedicine to Prana — One Firefighter’s Journey into the World of Energy Healing By Bill Hencke Through my entire childhood, there was only one thing I really wanted to be in life: a firefighter/paramedic. Johnny and Roy from that TV show “Emergency” were my heroes, and when I finally realized my dream eighteen years ago, I figured I knew all there was to know about emergency medicine.

And although I loved my job, and the opportunities it provided to help others, I also saw a side of our healthcare system that made me realize something wasn’t right. Many patients didn’t have access to the proper evaluation or treatment, and many people weren’t getting better with their medicines.

But firefighters suffer many injuries over their careers, and when some of my co-workers were facing the worker’s compensation system and disability retirement, they decided to give it a try. The healing results were super-fantastic, and word-of-mouth in the fire department traveled quickly. I’ve collected a list of over 100 firefighter references to the effectiveness of Pranic Healing, and several have written testimonials for my website.

I’ve collected a list of over 100 firefighter references to the effectiveness of Pranic Healing, and several have written testimonials for my website Pranic Healing is now my mission in life, and that’s why I formed PranaMedics LLC. I’m blessed to have a thriving Pranic Healing office and wellness center in Huntington Beach, and distant healing clients all over the country. I always say, “Don’t take my word for it…try it and see for yourself!”

Still, I didn’t believe in energy healing. In a class one day, I saw a Pranic Healer relieve a lady’s neck pain by waving her arms behind her back. . .and I called B.S. I just didn’t believe that was possible.

But then… my wife contracted a medical condition her doctor couldn’t resolve. I remembered “that weird Pranic Healing,” and I decided I would learn this healing practice and try it on her.

It worked. My wife’s symptoms resolved immediately, and as I practiced on more people, I saw many physical healings happen with my own eyes.

These were outcomes that modern medicine couldn’t explain.

Decades of pain, resolved within minutes! Skin conditions, musculoskeletal injuries, and respiratory distress, gone! I’ve even had clients who, under the guidance of their doctor, have stopped taking their hypertension medicines because their blood pressure completely normalized.

The thing that helped me wrap my head around this healing modality was that the founder, Master Choa Kok Sui, was a chemical engineer, and the first U.S. instructor, Master Stephen Co, was an electrical engineer. The techniques are based on solid, scientific facts.

Now, if you can picture the firehouse culture, you can imagine the good-natured abuse and hazing I took from my fellow firefighters when I started doing this. They figured I was crazy, and I remembered how I thought it was crazy when I first saw it, too.

Be Where You’re At

By Donna Bond As a lifetime seeker, I recognize now that I used to spend A LOT of time lost. I was always looking, searching, seeking, hunting, questing and on the lookout for me, my purpose, my passion – really, my life. What I failed to realize is, the whole time it was all right there. But I wasn’t.

I liken this to that Zen proverb, “Before enlightenment, chop wood, carry water.

After enlightenment, chop wood, carry water.”

When you are seeking something, you are trying to be “over there.” We judge where we are, citing a million reasons it’s not good enough and why we think the grass is going to be better “over there.” What I have learned is the only way to get “over there” is to first come into alignment with what is RIGHT HERE. “Lay down your sword,” I say.

Lay down the resistance and the judgement and stop fighting and BE where you’re at.

And let that be okay.

Bringing your consciousness and a higher level of awareness into everything you do makes it more enjoyable. This is a natural result of BEING in the flow of life, rather than pushing against it. Swap out chopping wood and carrying water with sitting in traffic and you can understand the metaphor.

Being where you’re at, requires presence.

It requires acceptance. It might also require surrender. It looks like experiencing “what is” and in that joy can unfold because you let go of your judgement. This doesn’t mean you become complacent or settle for less, it means you stop fracturing your energy and your attention and ground yourself where you are, so you can stand on solid footing, positioning yourself to take the next step.

Are You Acting in Your Best Self-Interests?

By Ava Park When it comes to your own wellness, are you acting in your own best self-interests?

Bet you dollars to doughnuts (my dad’s Iowa phrase—no idea what it means) that you’re not!

Our volunteers at Museum of Woman are expected to uphold wholesome values, but there was one they consistently flouted. I won’t keep you in suspense: it was the value of self-care. They work hard, they give much. They seem a bit tired. I ask them to take some time off. “No, no, I’m okay!” They keep going. Then suddenly, they disappear, never to be seen again. Hours of training down the tubes, a good team member lost. But they’re actually pretty much like everyone else. Overgivers, which is a path to burnout.

Most women—and quite a few men —stay far too long in their caretaking Mother archetype Of the four major archetypes, The Mother (applies to men, as well) is the worker, the caretaker, the provider, the one who gives, gives, gives. But we were never meant to live in one archetype all the time and doing so is hurting us. (The publisher is firmly holding me to 550 words, so we must consider it completely Mr. Ware’s fault that I cannot tell you about The Maiden, The Queen and The Wisewoman.

Omigoddess … I’m at 248 words. We press on!)

Most women—and quite a few men—stay far too long in their caretaking Mother archetype. Without the balance of The Queen, the Boundary Holder, they become The Overgiving Mother—who seems just fine for a few years … but then … she’s vaguely disgruntled … a few more years … downright resentful … another decade … free-floatingly

12

Radiance INTEGRATIVE WELLNESS AT ITS BEST

furious (and doesn’t know why) … hits her fifties … then often she gets sick … now in her sixties … and sometimes she gets … dead. Disappears, never to be seen again.

After a decade of disappearing volunteers, I figured out: most were too much in their Overgiving Mother and not enough in their Self-Caring Queen. Most people do not consider themselves a “violent person.” Here’s a shocker: you may be. No, you would never do violence to another life, but you are willing to do violence to yourself by not acting in your own best self-interests, by not taking care of yourself. Are you too not “life?” If you are overgiving, you are violent towards life. Your life. Your being. Stop it!

That’s why it is now our policy that all volunteers take a month off every year. For years, each earnestly assured me they “didn’t need it.” But I learned that what they wouldn’t do for themselves, I would have to enforce by policy—even for myself—and that was the hardest, because I’d been the worst violator of all. We now close the Museum and everyone takes the entire month of January off. Hard on us financially? Yes. But it would be harder on us not to.

Because we’d all be gone … or sick or dead from overwork.

What can you do in your life to act in your own best self-interests? Let us each acknowledge that we too are part of the Sacred Life That Must Be Cared For. Stop the violence—to yourself! Let somebody else be Mother once in a while.

Weight Loss and Hypnosis: A Love Infusion

By Janna Colaco Janna, how does hypnosis and weight loss work? On the conscious and subconscious levels simultaneously. It heals and comforts. It creates courage and motivation. Feeling secure and relaxed is a huge part of achieving ideal weight.

What kind of a diet plan do you use? Each client is unique, but in a nutshell, quality over quantity. You eat the freshest foods in season, using all the senses simultaneously. In hypnosis, we can train your subconscious to become satisfied from the look, smell, texture and flavor of the food. Very little is eaten to feel incredibly full… yet the food is delicious! I don’t let my clients eliminate entire food groups or spend three hours at the gym. That’s not love, it’s punishment.

Can you hypnotize me to stop craving junk food? Yes, we certainly want to eliminate processed foods! But we still keep the indulgences in moderation.

That sounds great, but doesn’t indulgence sometimes bring thoughts of binging? Binging feels terrible! There’s nothing indulgent about feeling stuffed, fat and sick. In hypnosis, we can make a little of the good stuff go a very long way. Do we eliminate chocolate? Absolutely not! Two bites of high quality chocolate is immensely satisfying. You will feel full with less.

Explain what you mean by “love-infused eating.” About twenty years ago, my kids and I were talking about my aunt’s cookies. They weren’t much to look at and the recipes were simple. But Aunty cooked with love, and you could taste the difference. We were on vacation and my son said, “Mommy, the cook put love in my hamburger!” It became a game to identify the love in food.

14

Radiance INTEGRATIVE WELLNESS AT ITS BEST

How does this “love-infused eating” work with hypnosis?

Not only do we energetically infuse our own food with love as we prepare and eat it, we also hypnotize the subconscious to receive love and self-care. We treat meal time as sacred… never eating standing up, in front of the TV, or in the car. When we feel loved and valued, we would never over-stuff ourselves or eat from boredom.

It became a game to identify the love in food It sounds like I have to cook and eat on plates! To be perfectly honest, yes. Loving yourself implies investing energy into yourself. So, for instance, I could hypnotize you to love cooking, because that’s good for you. I could hypnotize you to make meal preparation the best part of your day. My favorite thing is to collect beautiful antique china and grow my own roses to set on the table. I’ve used self-hypnosis to receive love from the dishes, flowers and food.

Do you coach your clients about exercise or just diet? Yes, I use the same indulgent strategy. I don’t advocate spending three hours at the gym or marathon training.

Ouch! But they are encouraged to take mindful nature walks and absorb the beauty around them. Twenty minutes of walking on the beach or playing in the pool is all that’s needed.

Coming Out of the Spiritual Closet and into My Light

By Tina Ghahramani-Singh When you're expanding your consciousness and growing rapidly as a soul-centered person, many life changes can occur: • Old thought patterns fade into the distance • Your new les-burdened Self can feel a bit unfamiliar at times • You’re eating more consciously • Attending meditation classes is on your radar • You take greater measures of self care Your connection to a higher source—Divine Mother, Father or God—becomes vital. Meditating and becoming silent becomes your natural medicine to the world’s noise and stress. Your energy field and vibration completely transform, and people may be challenged by this.

I was aware of my gifts at a very young age. Gifts that I was incredibly afraid to share with others for fear of isolation or judgement. My gifts of clairvoyance, feeling loved ones who have crossed, working with God’s light, feeling and moving energy as a highly empathic soul were part of my spiritual elixir. This was quite overwhelming and I did not have the tools or clairvoyant parents to nurture such gifts.

My massive soul expansion and “inner” work began two years ago when my physical body was out of alignment with my spiritual heart center. In other words, illness of the body began because I was not dealing with the old thought patterns and emotions that kept arising. Instead, I would ignore them and I just thought they would go away.

In reality, these emotions got louder and stronger because I didn’t take the time to notice and process them. Once we take time to witness the emotional patterns of the mind and how the body responds to those emotions, that’s what I call doing the “inner spiritual work.” This type of inner work is a moment by moment mindfulness practice. Believe me, I’m still learning this technique and healing my body as we speak.

16

Radiance INTEGRATIVE WELLNESS AT ITS BEST

However, I have great faith and am thrilled to finally understand how important this inner work plays a positive role in my life.

Since my recent soul expansion, I have now stepped into my calling as a spiritual life coach and mentoring women, healers and mothers through this process. Nothing gives me greater joy for everyone to come out of their “spiritual closet” and share their beautiful gifts with the whole world.

It’s given my life immense meaning. You are so LOVED and I encourage you to come out of your shadows and SHINE YOUR LIGHT! Love and Deep Gratitude, Tina

Change is the

By Rev. Danielle Marie Hewitt Many 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 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.

True to my word I made many trips to England over the following years and invited her and my father-in-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, over 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 mindset 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

18

Radiance INTEGRATIVE WELLNESS AT ITS BEST

Heartbeat of Growth 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.

A while ago I was 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 has passed on now but 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 it when it does. Until that time, you can’t do anything about 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 raise an eyebrow when they witness how forthright I can be in dropping something that isn’t working and finding a new way of approaching it. 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 at the time, because there’s no growth without change.

“Connect to Me” An interview with Master Jeff Mamora on his powerful and unique brand of energy healing You’re known in many video testimonials as a very impactful healer. Do you have a practice you do beforehand to prepare? It’s important to energetically cleanse yourself. I was spiritually guided to create a system that is like a higher plane kind of cleansing ground. So you could literally dissolve anything negative. When you have negative thoughts, negative emotions, it is actually like a thing, like matter. It's not in a biological form. Just by being able to dissolve all of that I've done a little over a thousand miracles. I allow the body to heal the mind so you become more you. You're becoming a vehicle of love and light. Everything is just better.

It's not the high vibration within that lesser frequency, but the quality of that energy in that frequency.

How do you people find you? A lot of times its referral, or just magnetism. Mainly they come to me when they're dying. Or someone they know is dying in a certain aspect and they need to transform ASAP. If they don't transform something now, great suffering comes.

How do you work? You could connect to me, just feel me. Because it’s literally in the rate of your connection to me that people get profound shifts. In my healing I use more of a mental health approach; initially I do a complete assessment. We find a compromised area, then I dig deeper to the root cause of the problem.

You work with kids a lot. Yes, autistic kids, kids with brain damage, at-risk kids. My first approach is to deal with the parents.

Once I was able to shift, heal and transform the child's parent in mere moments. Many of the video testimonials I post speak to this.

Is that energy healing as well? Yes, and it has a higher authority and in most matters.

Master Jeff Mamora is an energetic healer who incorporates holistic tools and unique protocols inspired

by Spirit to promote emotional breakthroughs, transmutation of negative energy and spontaneous healing. Master Mamora resides in Southern California where he is devoted to healing and teaching. He can be reached at 909-214-1207 and his videos may be viewed at https://www.facebook.com/indojeff.

The Beautiful Gifts of the Empath Recently I sat down with Dr. Judith Orloff in her lovely Venice home. She is the author of the best-selling The Empath’s Survival Guide: Life Strategies for Sensitive People.

–Editor More people are starting to realize from speakers and authors like you that if you’re a highly sensitive person, there are things you can and should do to protect your psyche and energy even before you leave your house in the morning. Well, I’m a psychiatrist and I’m also an intuitive healer, and what that means is that I can combine traditional medicine with intuition and my ability to sense what's going on with other people. In my practice and in my workshops, I combine all of this to help my clients. People that are not diagnosed correctly as empathic tend to go into sensory overload.

That must be stressful. Yes, empathic people are walking around all the time overwhelmed, exhausted, anxious, depressed and their stress hormones are just going crazy.

The reason I wrote The Empath’s Survival Guide was to help people diagnose themselves as an empath. There's a quiz at the beginning of the book that can help verify if they’re an empath, how much of an empath they are, and then develop strategies to center and protect themselves. So, they can benefit from all the beautiful gifts of being an empath and learn how not to absorb the stress of other people. The empath really has so many gifts. They are intuitive, spiritual, giving, loving, open. They connect with nature. They are in touch with spirituality and animals.

They feel everything more. Yes, empaths feel everything more. They also feel the negative energies. Oh, they feel both positive and negative energy, and the problem is when they take it on into their own bodies. That can be painful or exhausting. Taking in the emotions of other people is one thing I focus on in the book: how do you tell if something is your emotion or a physical symptom or another person’s emotion?

How can you tell? Notice, “How does my body feel before I meet this person? What is my energy level? How do I physically feel? What are my emotions?” And then, go and interact with the person and compare how you felt just before and after. See if you suddenly feel nauseous or do you feel exhausted? If so, most likely it was from the interaction with them. With some people, you’ll notice when you're doing this, that your energy goes up. And you might feel more peaceful and more heartfelt when you're finished with them, so that's a good barometer.

JULY/AUGUST 2018

When you slow down and consider this, it makes a lot of sense. Yes, the book is devoted to teaching people how not to take on all this in their bodies and yet stay open and intuitive and loving and not have to live in a protected environment all the time where you can't go outside. That’s a little bit of a dance. Yes, it's a dance and about finding balance, but first diagnosing yourself as an empath. Take the quiz at the beginning of the book and see if you're an empath. And maybe you are, maybe you aren't, but if you are, you really do need to know because it changes your whole life knowing that. Unfortunately, traditional medicine misdiagnoses empaths all the time.

What do they usually call them? Hypochondriacs, malingerers, or they might say they have depression, panic attacks, anxiety, chronic pain.

Are more doctors coming around to honoring being empathic? Yes, more integrative practitioners who integrate Eastern and Western thought do, but the traditional ones are still a little slow going.

I saw recently that a hospital in Henderson, Nevada is effectively using essential oils before prescribing opioids.

That's incredible! The change is happening, but unfortunately, traditional medicine still doesn't believe in the energy fields around the body.

What can a person who is empathic tell their family members and friends about why they are the way they are?

About why they need more time alone? Right, because when you are an empath, it's like holding up a hand with 50 fingers instead of five. Empaths have more sensory apparatus activated—there’s so much more going on than the regular person who doesn't feel as intensely.

Are there more Empaths now, and if so why? I think so. On my book tour, I saw more and more people opening up as empaths, and my feeling is that there's so much stress going on in our world and on the news, which is very triggering and can break down our defenses. Even people who aren't empaths can experience their defenses being broken down by this constant onslaught of horrible news. If you become addicted to the news it’s like being injected to a toxic drip.

What’s a quick remedy for that? Playing beautiful music helps. Empaths love peaceful music or going out in nature. I always encourage my patients to take very gentle walks in

nature and commune with the shrubbery and the trees and the animals. That is very peaceful for empaths. They need their systems soothed, as some empaths have a history of trauma and are super sensitive to pain. There are various tools, like putting your bare feet on the earth.

Were empaths born this way, or did it come from childhood? Nature or nurture? It could be both. Empaths sometimes have low self-esteem that comes from parents who were battering or difficult. Now they need to grow into their own confidence levels with their sensitivities as opposed to just feeling ashamed of it.

Shame is a big one, isn’t it? Yes, it is because of their sensitivity. Empaths are usually severely ashamed about how people react to their sensitivity as children. Being told “You need to get a thicker skin, what’s wrong with you?” creates a lot of shame in children. And so, you kind of grow up cowering like, “What's wrong with me?” Well, nothing's wrong with you, they just didn't understand where you were

coming from and reacted. But you know a lot of feeling as an empath is feeling the shame of being put down all those years.

People really need to know that.

How can that be healed? By actually acknowledging it and feeling it with the intention to heal, because otherwise it stays inside of you and there’s always something that can be triggered in there. You need to know you are perfect just as you are.

I imagine you have a methodology for going back and healing that hurt child. Oh yeah, you need to look and identify where the message came from. Hypnosis is very useful to go back into those childhood times and experience how you were feeling and reclaim your inner child. Then bring your inner child home with you! Don't leave your inner child in that house where she was shamed. Bring them back with you in your house so you can care for them in the way they deserve to be cared for.

I want to teach them to be proud of their gifts Shame and trauma go hand in hand. Shaming is very specific and it happens to empaths more. That's why they're not proud of their abilities. I want to teach them to be proud of their gifts and maximize them and go out and use them in the world for change. Bring that beautiful gentleness and thoughtfulness and kindness into the world and change it. Empaths aren't weak or passive. They can be aggressive and assertive, just not in a typical macho way that you see a lot of.

You mentioned the importance of listening to your body. How does your body talk to you? In many ways! With signals through symptoms, or you might have sensations. It talks to you through your gut feeling, as your gut is the entire nervous system and a second brain.

Because the first brain isn't serving us? Why is that? Because it overthinks and the gut feels. The gut communicates via sensation, feeling and bodily symptoms. So, it kind of forces you to listen to your body a little bit more than the brain, which doesn’t feel as much in that sense.

Dr. Orloff also specializes in treating empaths and highly sensitive people in her private practice. She can be reached at judith@judithorloff.com. Her next workshop called “Igniting the Power of Your Empathy and Intuition” will be at Esalen in Big Sur July 27-29. Find out more at esalen.org or drjudithorloff.com.

The Rebel with a Cause: Dr. Billy DeMoss

By Taylor Nicholson I never imagined that a health workshop in a chiropractic office could be standing room only. But when I arrived at Dr. Billy DeMoss’ office in Newport Beach (5 minutes early), I could only find seating in the back row.

“This guy must be good,” I thought to myself.

I quickly learned that a packed house is par for the course at DeMoss Chiropractic, which boasts a huge backroom (referred to as “the clubhouse”) dedicated to educational health, nutrition, and lifestyle workshops that are open to the public.

As the night went on, Dr. Billy spoke passionately about a range of health-related topics, including chiropractic care: an often-overlooked field that holds the potential to fix much more than back misalignment. He explained how chiropractic was founded by trailblazers who discovered that manual adjustments of the spine could improve health and even cure disease. Chiropractic has successfully relied on the body’s ability to heal from within for well over a century. Though many chiropractors have begun to step into the realm of modern medical practices, a few chiropractic outliers, like Dr. Billy, still honor the roots of their predecessors.

“Just think,” he explained to the engaged audience, “if every man, woman, and child were under regular chiropractic care, Orange County would be the healthiest community in the country.”

After a few adjustments of my own, my daily tension headaches subsided, my skin cleared up, my digestion improved, and I even stopped biting my nails. Chiropractic care surprised me, to say the least, but I have to admit Dr. Billy surprised me more. His personalized care is second to none and the waiting area in his office is always buzzing with happy, healthy patients ranging from newborns to surfers to the elderly. He insists on a hug before every patient leaves and always has something to share about current events, healthy living, or the waves off of 52nd Street in Newport Beach.

In 2008, he decided to expand DCS by founding California Jam, an event which allows him to invite world-renowned experts in public health and global sustainability to the Segerstrom Center of the Arts in Costa Mesa. The event exists to educate and empower people, not just chiropractors, from around the world who find natural solutions more attractive than harmful manmade ones and share a desire to ensure the wellbeing of future generations. The mission of Cal Jam is simple: awaken, empower, action.

Dr. Billy ended our evening in the clubhouse by quoting one of the founders of chiropractic: “Professions are often concerned with changing the environment to suit the weakened body, chiropractic is concerned with strengthening the body to suit any environment”.

For more about Cal Jam, which takes place February 22nd-24th 2019, including featured speakers and general public ticket information visit californiajam.org or call 949-428-8699.

Quick Gemini, Alluring Cancer, Sexy Leo and Pure Virgo

By TeriLynn CanSee Gemini “I think”

challenge, and she can throw an Oscar-worthy tantrum when she doesn't get her way. When this feminine seductress snares her partner, her attention and affection makes them want to stay. Her Moon ruled way makes her feel moody or demanding at times.

The Gemini Woman is witty, charming, intelligent and almost always at least ten minutes late. She is more attracted to a high IQ than any physical trait. She enjoys candlelight, but romance can bloom in broad daylight if the conversation is scintillating enough. This is not a woman who is adept at expressing her innermost feelings, and is likely to crack a joke until the serious moment passes. She wants security and stability in love and a lover who is actually going to understand her, or at least treat her warmly when they don't. Her Mercury ruler gives her communication the sparkle and dynamics to please and her intelligence is quick.

The Cancer Male is a romantic's dream, who plays the part of courtier well. He is honest and devoted, and when his heart melts, his every breath is drawn to be with the one that he loves. He is very protective and can be equally as possessive, often becoming jealous of time spent with friends, relatives, or even the family dog. He wants a partner who swoons at the sight of him, is part mind-reader, (his lover is supposed to intuitively know why he is sulking) and who will find joy simply in being the center of his world. His Moon ruler makes him enjoy all the moods of the Moon so he can bask in them.

The Gemini Male is an introverted extravert. Charisma, humor, and intellect may be the image he projects, but no matter how close you get, you can never be quite certain what is on his mind. He wants a partner who shows just enough emotion to validate that he is awesome, but not too much emotion that it will become complicated. He is seriously committed to remaining uncommitted, unless he stumbles across a super-achiever who can keep up with the conversation, reach their own goals without his assistance, and be packed and ready to go on an adventure at the drop of a dime. That, in his mind, is an amore worth considering.

His ruling Mercury will create the busy thoughts and communications necessary to be considered intelligent and quick.

Leo “I will”

Your Gemini mate appreciates your independence, while the Cancer mate can be a dreamy partner.

Cancer “I feel” The Cancer Female is an alluring beauty, whose gentleness and caring nature tends to be welcomed in any crowd. She believes that love is the secret to life, and the more dreamy and romantic, the better. Sentimentality is a way of life. She is demure and erotic, and wants a lover who will commit, commit, commit! Her moods swings can be quite the

Radiance INTEGRATIVE WELLNESS AT ITS BEST

The Leo Woman tends to be successful, self-assured, and at times more than a little flamboyant; but, no more so than a queen has a right to be. She is attracted to attractive, adventurous lovers who will share the stage with her — as long as they don't try and steal the spotlight! Her sexual prowess can keep you smiling with her adventuresome spirit, but please don't ask her to get kinky. She will not live with tyranny, even though she is as likely as any man to flawlessly play the role of the tyrant.

Leo women know that they deserve the best of everything, and aren't afraid to sample many kinds of varieties when on the prowl for true love.

Her Sun ruler gives her the energy and emotional dynamics to receive attention.

JULY/AUGUST 2018 His Mercury ruler is sure of what he does and will gladly show you.

The Virgo Male is the industrious sort who finds work to be oddly exciting. He's the one who is just as likely to softly grin caressing the finish of his new file cabinet the way others would the curve of a lover's hip. jAlways searching for ways to improve things, he tends to be attracted to people who need his help or guidance in some way, but they must also be intelligent and competent in their own right. He tends to look at love with the same zest and vigor as any other work to be done. In other words, love is meant to be shaped into perfect harmony (well, almost perfect)! He is selfish and selfless, and can freeze an active volcano or melt the polar ice caps, depending on the day.

The Leo Male is strong and affectionate, with a magnetic personality filled with fun and good cheer. He tends to be very generous, and successful enough to recover from his sprees without skipping a beat. He is attracted to beauty in all forms of lovers, specifically the ones who are adept at adoring him. In bed, the King of Beasts will live up to the title, but before you're done purring, he's probably raiding the fridge or making a sandwich. This man will give away his heart fully and with great ease, but from time to time he is likely to forget with whom he left it! With his Sun ruler he can and will make an impression on people and projects.

Virgo “I Analyze” The Virgo Female really is filled with purity and virtue, but also knows how to cut loose and have a good time, when she's not over-analyzing the smallest aspects of life. This lady is always in control — at least of herself. In her world, there is a time, place, and order to everything; and her love and trust must be earned or won. She is most attracted to neat and tidy lovers whose philosophical intellect can challenge her own.

She is cautious with her emotions, but when she chooses to release her passion, she removes the virginal misconception with the subtlety of a raging forest fire. This is a supersensitive woman with many facets of character, who constantly strives for perfection in herself, life and love. Her Mercury Ruler gives her the need to talk it over and time to assess her decisions. But with a partner who loves him compassionately, his devotion grows every day.

Where to Get a Spiritual Toolbelt By Shauna Kossoff I was done. I was done with life. I was done with me.

I didn’t want to go back to Law School. I had no passion for anything left inside me.

Then I came upon a teacher who told me of an ancient tool called Life Activation with something called The Modern Mystery School. This intrigued me, and I jumped at a chance just to put some drive back into my life.

During the process of the Life Activation I felt the stirrings of my soul calling out to me again. During the activation I heard my soul whispering “You now remember how to live. You remember that your purpose is to serve in Law. You remember your purpose is to serve others. You remember you have the power to make an impact.”

I came out of my Life Activation with new breath and new life. The light was just a bit brighter. The air was crisper. The joy I felt was on a level I never thought possible. “How could one person hold this much joy inside them?” I thought.

This Life Activation left me wanting more.

It left me questioning all aspects of my life, in a new and beautiful way.

Then I started questioning what happened to me during this Life Activation. It was explained to me that my DNA was dormant, and the activation simply woke it back up. This brought about a self-realization and knowing that all those whispers in my mind were true. It gave me the courage to continue Law, and eventually practice it to help many families.

This Life Activation left me wanting more. It left me questioning all aspects of my life, in a new and beautiful way. I wanted to get to know myself again, on a deeper level.

I reached out to my teacher and asked, “What next?”

It was a two-day class called “Empower Thyself.”

“Empower Thyself” takes you through learning ancient tools, rituals, and scriptures that help open up doorways into your soul. During this learning, new Spirt Guides are called in to help assist you. This is deep healing, expansion, and all-encompassing work that you do for soul’s being.

Some of the amazing techniques you learn in “Empower Thyself” are new ways to meditate and pray. To learn meditation on a deeper level, you must first learn how to deeply listen to what is being told to you. That is all meditation is, listening to your Higher Power. The tools The Modern Mystery School provide help you move deeper into a meditative state where listening to your Higher Power comes naturally to you.

The deeper tools you learn for prayer is how to talk to your Higher Power. Specifically talking in the right way. By removing negative thought and speak, can make our prayers more effective.

I left “Empower Thyself” with a spiritual tool belt, ready to move forward even deeper on my learning path. Life Activation and Empower Thyself are just the first steps of many on the Path of the Initiate. How far you want to grow and learn is up to you.

Want to jump in yourself? Call today to set up an appointment for your own Life Activation. After that you will be ready for the two-day power house weekend of Empower Thyself on July 28th and 29th in the beautiful city of Huntington Beach, California.

Shauna Kossoff is a Certified Guide with The Modern Mystery School who over the past 13 years has supported numerous people in finding their own path to Live Activation and Knowing Thyself. She can be reached at 951-440-6938.

When a Reading Eliminates Pain

Interview of Jacob Moore, Intuitive Reader, by Scott Ware

Do people get healing from your readings? Yes, because they can feel energy shifting either by something I said or the energy coming through me, they suddenly notice a pain that was in part of the body has completely diminished or is just gone. I often hear back from them later as to how surprised they were. Or sometimes they were stressed and now feel more relaxed. They’re now seeing a different perspective. I'll be like a foreman but with the digging shovel too if you need me to help you get to that point we're figuring out, “Oh, I’ve got some other people's energy and burdens I'm just carrying along as a backpack I didn't know they gave me!” Let’s get you clear of all that!

Yes, because they can feel energy shifting, a pain that was in part of the body or location and suddenly they notice it has completely diminished or just gone. I often hear back from them later as to how surprised they were. Or sometimes they were stressed and now feel more relaxed. They’re now seeing a different perspective. I'll be like a foreman but with the digging shovel too if you need me to help you get to that point we're figuring out, “Oh, I’ve got some other people's energy and burdens I'm just carrying along as a backpack I didn't know they gave me!” Let’s get you clear of all that!

You help facilitate the healing. And a lot of it is you can heal yourself, I'm just taking a flashlight here and showing you, but you can do this too.

Where do you see people? Mostly online, actually. In person, online and even by text.

You give people readings by text? Yeah, I just really tap in. Let me feel that, and this is the message…

How did your time in Africa affect your intuitive practice? Immensely. The biggest lesson I learned in Africa was the smallest act of kindness, no matter how insignificant you might think is it, will create joy. It was actually the highest and lowest points in my life. The lowest because I had my shadow self revealed to me. You know you have to deal with that part of you to heal. Recently I

Recently I had this profound moment of surrender.

Afterward, it changed everything, it changed my life even up till now. I just said to myself why am I doing this to myself? You know, if you’re really serious about it, you will let go of it.

You offer a lot of services, but what do people come to you for mainly? I do angelic communication. They talk to me all the time. They help by just talking about what’s going on with me, or I get a strong feeling for something specific or “I'm hearing about Scott.”

They suddenly notice a pain that was in part of the body has completely diminished or is just gone (Re: me) What do you hear? I get this sense you're opening up your life to the many possibilities… it's almost like you're having this divine power within you now coming out… there's just a lot of love I feel from the other side, and a strong presence of Archangel Michael… the angels are just with you all the time, and he’s saying “Talk to me, even if it sounds crazy to talk out loud, it doesn't matter, I'm here…”

And I just see a lot of your life having this overall sense of love and serenity and I can see you open your arms and spreading them just like this, like “I'm going with the flow, I'm going on this ocean feeling,” and so many powerful doors within yourself you might never knew you had the keys to are already unlocked, just open the doors…

Being firmly established in the Self means acknowledging that there is within you a higher Self, a pure essence that is sacred and eternal. Strengthening this spiritual connection is the goal, according to Ayurveda, and is a result of living harmoniously with wholesome habits that create a strong immune system, vitality and mental clarity, this is ojas. A robust container that will protect against all that can be potentially harmful: bacteria, virus, negative energy, stress and the twists and jolts that come along the way.

In the body there is a beautiful system of homeostasis that ensures the health of every cell and organ, a constant alertness and adjusting to the needs of the body

Dear Divine One, What if there was a manual on life? A manual that taught you how to live so that you fulfill your highest purpose, so that you reach your fullest potentials, so that your relationships are harmonious and you move from moment to moment, from one stage to the next with grace, calm, faith and harmony, so that your health and vitality are nourished well by the right diet and a balanced lifestyle?

And all of this was possible regardless of the challenges that came your way, no matter how poor or alone, no matter what your childhood was like, no matter where you are or whoever you are. This is possible and there is such a manual. This is Ayurveda, the complete science and wisdom of life, all of life.

Every life in every circumstance.

Whether in mythology or in our own bodies, In the outside world or conjured by our own mind, there seems to be a battle.

A struggle between light and dark, positive versus negative, harmony versus conflict. When one is stronger the other is weaker. In the body there is a beautiful system of homeostasis that ensures the health of every cell and organ, a constant alertness and adjusting to the needs of the body. There is constant effort to reach a balance, a state of equilibrium of health and harmony. This is a powerful intelligence that governs, protects and repairs

This ancient wisdom has been passed on from generation to generation in India since the Vedic period and is now gaining more attention as the world looks for more holistic and safer alternatives to deal with disease. Come, take a closer look at this system of medicine and you will see that it is a manual that each one of us will benefit from tremendously.

Health is defined as Swastha in Ayurveda, Swa: Self, astha: established. This means being stable, clear, alert, Self-aware, grounded, balanced, having high self-esteem and healthy self-love, living in harmony with yourself (which implies with others too), knowing your responsibilities and needs, and honoring your body and your own truth.

our body. Ayurveda provides the tools to strengthen this intelligence of the body to function optimally. The tools are wholesome foods, herbs and body therapies. There are ways to cleanse the body of toxins, strengthen digestion and build ojas to win the battle between health and disease.

In the emotional and spiritual realms, on the battleground of stress and toxic energies within and around us, the system of homeostasis is beautifully provided by yoga, pranayama and meditation. Armed with faith and love we find the strength to face the challenges and stressful circumstances. We strengthen our own light, raise our own vibration, choose positive thoughts, respond lovingly, choose more and more of that which is harmonious and pure. Ayurveda gives these tools as our daily sadhana (spiritual practice) and so we build our ojas each and every day.

According to Ayurveda, disease and every crisis is an opportunity to go deeper within Why do we get sick? Why do negative things happen to us? Perhaps our toxic environment, poor habits, stress, limiting beliefs, doubts, worry, fear, anger, jealousy, sadness, our karma, genes…. What does it matter anyway?

Let Ayurveda empower you to be pragmatic and take responsibility for your own health from this moment forward. The step by step journey begins with building self-awareness and learning the daily habits around food, sleep, spiritual practices and learning to live so mindfully that you are fully alert to what your body and intuition is telling you. Everything that comes in through each of our senses affects us and can be used to create healthy body and mind. True healing however, is one that goes deeper and is more subtle than our body and mind, it is a transformative spiritual experience of self-realization. According to Ayurveda, disease and every crisis is an opportunity to go deeper within, to make peace, to become free from all limitations and experience our true Divine nature. Let the journey towards better health lead you to your own inner bliss.

Mental Health Begins with Self-Love By Daniel Gutierrez There was a time when I struggled with wanting to take my own life.

It was in my early 20s. I was lonely and lost. When the dark thoughts came with their seductive energy, I had few tools to fight them, so I tried to end my life more than once, only to wake up in the hospital feeling like a failure.

Today I travel around the world taking people on spiritual journeys to find themselves. I am forever grateful the Creator had a different plan for me and enabled me to survive long enough to discover and embrace self-love, which was the path out the darkness of despair.

When you feel depression coming on—and it can happen from time to time—follow these steps: 1) When you experience fear, stress or feel out of control, ask yourself: Where are my thoughts right now? When we’re stressed or fearful, it usually means we’re in the future or the past, where we have no power. We must practice being radically mindful to get our power back.

2) Ask yourself, “Am I okay right now?” I mean in this very moment. Then breathe. Take long, deep breaths, and then release it all, repeating as necessary.

3) Ask yourself if the thoughts you have that are currently causing you fear are real or true? Have they ever been true or real?

4) Ask yourself, is what you're doing right now getting you closer to or further from your desired outcome?

5) Get radically mindful by using meditation, yoga, or even aromatherapy to help anchor you and bring you back to the present moment.

6) Act! Physically do something to shift the energy and the state that you're currently in. By getting up and taking a walk, going for a workout, walking your pet, going shopping, getting a massage or just getting up from your chair will shift the energy and allow you to get radically mindful and help you realize the power you have to change your life!

7) Practice gratitude. It's really hard for the Universe to bless you with anything until you are truly grateful for what you have right now. Journal them.

8) Call a friend and ask them to hear you out. You would listen if someone called you upset, right? If someone trusted you enough to be totally transparent with you, of course you’d lend an ear.

And if you think by some stretch of the imagination that you are unloved by the whole Universe, know that you are loved by me. I guarantee it.
