Your Forever Self: Individual and Unique BY LOUANNE HEADRICK In the past, I felt mired in the “work” of finding my truth--my personal uniqueness--until one day I came to know that my truth does not come from what I’ve read, or to what media I’ve listened, or from how much I’ve availed myself of church services and learned lecturers. I found I carried the wisdom inside making the “work” an endeavor which required relinquishing control of the process. It required giving up ego orientation, allowing Source to be in charge. Once I was able to take that step in faith, my truth was laid out before me like an open book. I took several steps back from the dogma of the world, taking the path toward a greater view of life. What a grand, welcoming picture I found in that open book where I envisioned Truth. Yes, I am unique from among all in the Universe. I am that which I am. Think of it. Of all the substance within the Universe, only an estimated 4% is formed matter–nebulae, mountains, stars, other planets, trees, sky scrapers, and you and I. Certainly it must be written somewhere in stone that you and I are very special! We are unique, one-ofa-kind creatures, each one having a fabulous mind, shared as an individual expression of the One Divine Mind.

ticular good, that good which is made manifest in you alone. Understand and trust your own truth. Affirm it using these words: “I intend to follow my wisdom, not just to know it.” The wealth of the Universe is behind you when you have the right Spirit, when you see yourself in the wholeness that you are, and when you celebrate your precious individuality. We must see and sense that back of every appearance is the Perfection of the Universal Mind. All the outcomes of our lives are to help us awaken to the perfection of our forever self. This self, united with all selves, is always individual and unique. You can count on it, now and forever more. “The higher the sense of Truth, the greater will be the realization of the uniqueness of individual character and personality. The real Self is God given and cannot be denied. It is the place where God comes to a point of Individualized and Personified Expression.”1 [ Ernest Holmes ] 1 Ernest Holmes, “Science of Mind,” pp. 332-4

Louanne Headrick is a Registered Nurse, past Hospice Nurse and past Staff Development Director, now retired. She is a Signature Member of the Florida Watercolor Society and one of its former teachers, a member of the Golden Triangle Center for Spiritual Living and a long-time student of the work of Ernest Holmes, the founder of Centers for Spiritual Living. She is pursuing her final year as student of Practitioner Studies of Religious Science. Please see ad this page.

We recognize the story of being unique as true, but to love one’s own uniqueness and to use it constructively through exhilarated living, shows enhanced wisdom. We must become acquainted with our uniqueness from the inside out, living it to the max. What is the max for you? To help find the masterpiece known as you, visualize and feel yourself fulfilling your highest, God-given talent. Close your eyes and make a clear mental image of your happiest, most fulfilling moments. Generally, those moments of happiness reveal your excellence and uniqueness to you. Using this process has creative power for it connects you to your par-

FROM THE EDITOR

PURUSHA K. RADHA

Let Your Hair Down! Conformity is the opposite of our true nature. It dulls our senses, happiness, creativity, aspirations, motivation, and passion for life. To the extent we allow it, it is embedded into our consciousness every day, through television, social circles, our educational institutions, work, and even our religious environment if we follow the tenets of one faith. This keeps the world running nicely and efficiently, everyone knowing their proper place and function, or does it? Taking residence inside each one of us is a stoic and subtly powerful force that patiently waits to be unveiled. It's the outrageous, eccentric, unconventional, quirky, almost bizarre soulular essence known as you and known as I. Most of us never allow ourselves the opportunity to even get a glimpse of it so caught up are we in the rat race, in cyclic existence, in the rules some unknown people made up for us to follow. In mystical moments I've seen glimpses of the real Purusha who is completely outrageous, exciting, beguiling, captivating, demonstrative, and mysterious. In these same kinds of moments I've seen the soulular essence of many of those who are dear to me. I'm not talking about visions or concepts I have conjured in my mindâ&#x20AC;&#x201D;I have actually seen the soulular essence of these outrageous beings rise to the surface, take over, walk and dance in the body, speak from the mouth, and radiate their incredible radiant light. I've seen this in enough people to know that every human being's physical body is host to an outrageous unquantified being of super Divine consciousness, love, wisdom, creativity, power, and timelessness. And as I write, I find it incredibly difficult to find the words to describe what I have seen, so mystical, so non-linear, so unspeakable it truly is. This I have seen ... one beloved friend sitting regally in the quietness of space, wisdom rising up and spilling out into her auric field, into our auric fields, love overflowing, effulgent kindness and compassion permeating the very cells of her being. I have seen a Shaman penetrate the shroud of ego and persona of an ordinary man, using the long tresses of his hair to nurture, heal, and passionately love another. I have seen a glorious grandmother stomp about with power and certitude, booming loving orders

to her young to find delight in ourselves and each other. I have seen warriors of light emerge from their human body encapsulation to walk the earth like beings the stature of giants, speaking the Language of Light, impregnating the earth with their holy footprints. And I have seen love so pure and limitless among men and women, the cosmos received the sound waves of their unconditional love vibration, and beings from the other side of the sun responded in kind. If this is true for me and my beloved friends, I know beyond a shadow of a doubt that it is true for you. The great great soul you are desires to be seen and heard. It desires to be allowed to take the reins from your ego mind. It desires to take you flying to the far higher quadrinities of possibility and existence. It desires to be free to express and serve in its fullest capacity. Let's begin to truly express ourselves as the outrageous beings we are. By questioning conformity, rote lifestyles and traps of habit we have fallen into, we can begin to arise from the quicksand of normalcy and ascend to the higher realms of true living, vitality, and self-expression. Let's let our voices shriek, our hair down, our bodies dance wildly, our hearts love as much as we secretly have desired to love openly. Let's take our shoes and underwear off, cut our hair in outrageous fashions, revel in new creative artforms, roll in the earth. Let's dare to turn away from so-called pundits and policy-makers and think for ourselves. We already know how. It's innate. Why do we settle a moment longer for giving the planet a watered down version of ourselves? Since we know the truth, isn't it incumbent on us to give the planet the very best of us, the saintliness of us, the replete outrageousness of us? And when the ego tries to throw a monkey wrench into the whole thing, just through that monkey wrench right back out. Let your soul be the Victor over and over again. Accept it. Allow it. That is all it takes. If you wish, send me an email (publisher@readvelocity.com) to share your glimpses of your true soulular self. I'll love reading about and getting to know YOU.

CONSCIOUS COMMUNITY

his past week, I had a recent college graduate, Colin, write me to ask for my advice on pursuing a “green job.” Colin had an engineering degree with a minor in environmental studies, and his dream was to find a position that would make a positive impact on the earth. He needed to make a living wage, but he was even willing to sacrifice a higher paying salary if the job was with a company noted for its environmental and social reputation.

Jobs, Jobs, Jobs Follow Your Dream—Go Green!

After working in the environmental field for many years, this was a very familiar story to me. I used to feel sorry for those searching for employment in our line of work and always did my best to guide job-seekers to non-profits focused on conservation, government jobs, etc. There were just so few options out there.

by Michelle Thatcher National Director, U.S. Green Chamber of Commerce Contributing Green Editor for Velocity Magazine

NEW JOB MARKETS EMERGING The job market has recently changed. Currently there are 3.1 million green jobs in the United States as reported in a recent study by the U.S. Bureau of Labor Statistics (BLS). That accounts for 2.4 percent of all jobs in America and the number is growing rapidly each day. 2.3 million of those jobs are in the private sector, strongly supporting the construction and manufacturing industries which have been two of the hardest hit unemployment sectors. Outside of those fields, green jobs make up a diverse and professional sector including administration, mass transportation (like SunRail), waste reduction, recycling, professional scientific services, energy services, warehousing, etc.

GREEN JOBS DEFINED The BLS has defined “Green Goods and Services” as: Jobs in businesses that produce goods or provide services that benefit the environment or conserve natural resources. Green goods and services fall into one or more of five groups: energy from renewable sources, energy efficiency, pollution reduction and removal, natural resources conservation, and environmental compliance, training, and public awareness. Jobs in which workers’ duties involve making their establishment’s production processes more environmentally friendly or use fewer natural resources. These workers research, develop, or use technologies and practices to lessen the environmental impact of their establishment, or train the establishment’s workers or contractors in these technologies and practices. These technologies and practices fall into one or more of four groups:

energy from renewable sources, energy efficiency, pollution reduction and removal, and natural resource confirmation. Now, there are literally millions of options for young graduates like Colin and all of us who are considering career changes toward the green economy.

After a couple office visits, X-rays, an MRI, physical therapy, and antiinflammatory drugs, my condition did not improve very much. Fortunately, a friend with a similar problem in the past recommended Michelle Hamel at the Neuromuscular Pain Relief Center. After a consultation with Michelle and her review of my history and radiology reports, Michelle suggested

then teaches you how to take care of yourself and remain pain-free.

So what is wrong?

• Bulging, Ruptured, Herniated Discs • Nerve Entrapment, Pinched Nerve

One or more of the spinal nerves become entrapped due to contracted muscle, or a disc migrates towards the spinal column placing pressure on a nerve. Symptoms can be local neck pain or referred nerve sensation to the arm or hand. The symptoms may also be local low back pain or referred pain to the buttocks, down the side or back of the leg, groin or ankle. It can also be localized pain within one of these areas. There is a non-surgical answer! Your can recover in several sessions, guaranteed! Think of jelly in a doughnut as the spinal disc. If you bend the doughnut forward, the jelly comes out the back. The same holds true with the disc between our vertebrae. Within our daily activities we tend to mainly lean forward. This causes the vertebrae to come together in the front and place pressure on the disc. The disc then irritates the nerves and the nerves irritate the muscles. What a cycle of pain. At this point, you need the correct soft tissue treatment. With Michelle’s niche, her own neuromuscular work, this pressure can be eliminated and your body can heal in short order. You will be well in two to four weeks!

what seems to be happening. We have lots of testimonials from readers who have created miracles after reading the book.

I recently had the pleasure of speaking with Clardy Malugen, visionary, speaker, author, master healer, and founder of the Ten Million Miracles Campaign. Clardy’s inspiring book, Let’s Manifest Miracles!, reveals a simple, step-by-step formula for an abundant life based on acknowledging the power of your authentic self. Miracles seem to be commonplace in Clardy’s world and she is passionate about helping others to embrace their own power to create miraculous lives. Interviewer: You have such a varied background. You’ve been a CEO, creative consultant to major Fortune 500 companies, author, speaker, and now you’ve added “master healer” and “miracle maker” to the resume. What’s really going on here?

The workshops and private sessions are also powerful “energyshifters”. I’m always amazed at the results. The material itself is truly life-changing, but the real transformations have always occurred on an energetic level. Without fully realizing what I was doing in the beginning, I naturally created a loving space of high-frequency energy and that energy itself became the catalyst for the extraordinary shifts in the lives of the participants. Interviewer: How did you manage to put all of the pieces together into a process that seems to work so well?

Clardy Malugen: Honestly, I just always followed my intuition,

ing miracles. Even when I was working in primarily left-brain business environments, I always found ways to teach my employees and colleagues about the Law of Attraction.

which is what I teach everyone else. I plugged into the the field of universal energy, and allowed the process to create itself. It’s taken years of experience and extended study into the realms of quantum physics and microbiology to begin to understand what has been going on all along. I didn’t question it. I just did it and enjoyed watching all of the miracles. Now I make conscious choices and am able to directly acknowledge the energy itself and how it is interacting with each individual.

Interviewer: And now, with your book, Let’s Manifest Miracles!, you’ve become a full-time miracle maker?

Interviewer: What would you say makes your work unique from other modalities?

Clardy Malugen: I like the sound of that.

Clardy Malugen: I love everything that I do, but I would have to

Clardy Malugen: Honestly, my life has always been about creat-

My book begins with that wonderful quote of Albert Einstein’s…”There are only two ways to live. You can live as if nothing is a miracle. You can live as if everything is a miracle.” I have always believed in miracles and as my own consciousness level has expanded, it has become obvious to me that miracles are the building blocks of our entire universe. Interviewer: So how do you utilize these concepts in your work?

Clardy Malugen: I empower clients and workshop participants

to move into the realm of unlimited possibilities, which is the “place of miracles”. It’s all about energy and how each individual chooses to focus his or her personal energy. And, most importantly, it’s about re-aligning with the authentic self. Take the book, for example. I worked very consciously to create the energy flow that is present in the book. I wanted it to be an “energy-shifting experience” for the reader and that’s

say that removing emotional and physical blocks is what I do best. Anyone who is not achieving the success that they deserve has a block of some sort. Whether it’s career, finances, or relationships, something is stopping them. Some old belief or pattern is in the way. It doesn’t matter how many books you read or workshops you do, nothing will change if you don’t confront and eliminate the unconscious blocks. And, by definition, it’s all unconscious. Most of the time you can’t even comprehend the fact that you have a block. For me, it is absolutely fascinating to help people identify and release these unconscious blocks. One of my favorite things about the workshops is the experience of revealing these blocks in the group environment and allowing participants to see how the blocks are affecting each other. It can be profoundly life-changing. Interviewer: I assume this is also at the foundation of the transformational healing work that you are also doing? I am hearing stories of amazing physical healings, everything from fractured

bones to back, shoulder and knee problems, IBS, hernias...it’s almost unbelievable. What’s going on with this?

Clardy Malugen: Yes, these things are actually happening. They

have become quite normal in my work recently. It’s wild, really. I have been a medical intuitive for years, but have only just recently begun to utilize this ability to assist in the transformation of energy blocks. In the beginning, I had trouble accepting the fact that I could be the catalyst for these kinds of powerful transformations. But once I got clear about it, I realized that it’s all about energy again and it really has nothing to do with me. It’s about tapping into source energy and allowing it to transform the energy blocks. When we apply the energy to the block that is causing hip pain, for example, the shift in the energy of the block itself seems to cause it to simply dissolve instantaneously. Placing our energetic intention on shifting the energy of a physical block allows that block to be transformed. Is this a miracle? It certainly seems to be to the person who has just been healed. But honestly, it’s no different than placing our energy on anything else that we would like to miraculously manifest. Interviewer: This is very exciting, innovative work that you are doing. And the timing seems to be perfect.

Clardy Malugen: I truly believe that the energy on this planet is

shifting dramatically right now. So many people are coming to me, feeling a shift happening, wanting to embrace the gifts that

they have been denying for too long, wanting to create the life that they were born to live. I’m grateful that my own life’s work can help so many people, whether it’s through my book, my workshops, or my private sessions. I am truly honored to be a part of this process. And it’s a lot of fun, too! Clardy Malugen, MA, MFA, author, speaker, former CEO and award-winning documentary director is a brilliant, funny, quirky visionary and an emerging leader in the field of human consciousness. Her book Let's Manifest Miracles delivers a simple formula for achieving an unlimited future of health, wealth and success. A master at making complicated concepts easily accessible, Clardy has become the catalyst for mind-bending miracles that seem to turn up wherever she goes. Everything from remarkable physical healings to soulmate sightings and career advancements. Call it quantum physics, call it advanced microbiology, call it whatever you want. The bottom line: it works. Clardy presents her workshops in Orlando and Winter Park, as well as other cities in Florida and across the country. She is also available for private consultations in person or via phone and Skype. Let’s Manifest Miracles! is available at amazon.com and at www.ProsperityAcademy.com.

What

is forgiveness? Forgiveness is for-giving. Forgiving is a gift we can give ourselves or someone else. That gift is a gift that can keep on giving, so then how do we forgive?

forgiveness is

For-Giving by Anthony Diaz

To attract new ways of being we look at those experiences of our past that no longer serve us. To let go of that part of our past is to be present with our inner truth and look at forgiving. By carrying around unfinished business, our inner being looks for situations to make it complete. It’s like having a to-do list with things that never get done. It weighs us down because it seems like those things go on and on and on. When we forgive ourselves and others, we close the books on that subject. There is completion and now the Universe realizes that we are ready for a fulfilling To-BE list. The next part is who and what do we forgive? We can forgive others for what they may have said or done to us or for that matter what they didn't say or do. Although we may want to do something about it, sometimes it's easier to not look at these painful situations, but when they are allowed to be brushed aside over time, it gets in the way of allowing new and wonderful experiences to appear in our life. When it comes to forgiving ourselves, we can look at this the same way. The exact same process holds true in forgiving ourselves for choices and decisions we made or didn't make. Feelings of guilt accumulate over time by not looking at these situations sooner rather than later. How does that feel when you carry guilt around with you? Forgiveness is an opportunity to heal the past and tell ourselves it's okay. We allow that healing to permeate into every area of our life. It's a powerful expression that invites us to move past that hurt to attract the life of meaning and purpose we were born to have. We can practice forgiving using an affirmation taken from a healing process called Ho'oponopono which originated in Hawaii. So think of someone you would like to forgive and remember that person could be yourself. I invite you to close your eyes and say the following: I Love You. Please forgive me. I am sorry. Thank you. During the week, try this out on your own. Think of people who need forgiveness including yourself. Practice the Ho'oponopono affirmation and see how that feels paying attention to what happens around you. So let's be that Energizer bunny and give the gift that keeps on for-giving and giving and giving. Anthony J. Diaz has more than a decade of practicing family law and mediation, and is considered a leader in the area of collaborative law. As an attorney and a life and spiritual coach, Anthony incorporates a healthier approach to empower those going through a divorce or any legal or personal challenge by going within themselves to understand how their outer circumstances are affected by their inner conflict. Anthony will be sponsoring and presenting workshops at the Orlando Rasa Lila Fest on October 6 and 7. To sign up for his newsletter which will keep you informed about this and other events, his upcoming workshops and messages of inspiration and empowerment, scan the code on the ad this page (or go to http://eepurl.com/mw2Ff ).

True Beauty from the Inside by Dawn Gates In today’s crazy world many factors affect our bodies and our health and, in turn, affect how we look: stress, lack of sleep, environmental chemicals, and toxic food, to name a few. All of these show up on our face. Lines, swellings, dark circles all indicate a health imbalance. Aging is natural, but it is possible to delay wrinkles and skin imperfections. Billions of dollars are spent as women try to rid themselves of these issues with external creams and surgery, but to really accomplish this, the beauty regimen needs to start on the inside. Each line on the face indicates a health imbalance in our system. Each color variation indicates a sluggish or agitated organ system. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), lines and imperfections of the face, tongue, ears, and pulse are used to determine patterns of dis-ease. These dis-ease patterns are then treated with a variety of herbs. As the organs come back into balance, the lines and skin imperfections decrease or disappear altogether. Liver lines which are around the mouth and between the eyes are often totally erased with a good liver detoxification. Lines on the forehead indicate blood or circulation issues and when these issues are cleared up the lines decrease in depth. Puffiness and discoloration around the eyes indicates a stagnant lymphatic system and a simple lymphatic cleanse can get rid of them. Kidney imbalances often present as a dark area under the eyes, puffiness of the face and a line in the earlobe. Endocrine imbalances often present as pimples and can easily be cleared up with a liver detox. A rather well known model visits me a twice a year to keep her appearance looking young and all I do (in addition to nutritional and common sense advice) is to look at her skin issues, determine which system is out of balance at that time, and help balance it with herbs. I treated a 15-year-old young lady with acne easily enough, but I noticed a liver line starting between her eyes. We discussed some dietary changes that needed to be made (the teenager lived on Twinkies, pizza, and diet Coke), and we did a gentle liver detoxification in addition to some other herbs. On her next visit, the line was gone and the acne was immensely improved. Within 30 seconds of another client taking her tinctures, the dark circles and puffiness under her eyes disappeared and she looked ten years younger. I often have clients look in the big mirror I have on the wall before we start testing the tinctures and then have them look at themselves after I have come up with their custom blend. Almost everyone is amazed at how much better they look after an herbal consult. After all, true beauty is only an expression of what beauty and health is on the inside. Since 1994, Dawn Gates, Master Herbalist, aromatherapist, flower essence and gemstone elixir practitioner, has studied natural healing. She has herb and aromatherapy consulting offices in Paisley, Deland, and Orlando, Florida.

a dog named Louise who really could not keep her opinions to herself, but she was the exception, not the rule! We can improve our relationships by listening completely to the other person’s viewpoint and then expressing our response. We also can improve our pet companions' lives by diet choices.

What Works for Our Pets Works for Us, Too! by Marcia Sundberg For those of us who are fortunate enough to have companions of the four-legged variety in our homes, it is easy to see how each of their personalities reflect the masterpiece snowflake each one is. Dogs and cats are perfect examples of unconditional love that we can look to as examples to improve our treatment of our fellow man. They don’t care a bit about superficial qualities such as looks, personality quirks, weight, or tattoos. We can learn a lot about getting along with others by not passing judgment on outside appearances.

Just as our bodies function much more efficiently when we eat a well balanced diet--a necessary part of overall well-being--the same is true for your animal companions. So many times, we have people tell us that it doesn’t matter what they feed to their pets. We have seen time and time again the fallacy of believing that good nutrition is not important for pets.

Dogs and cats are also good listeners. Well, most of my animals have been. I did have

We rescued a Boston terrier a couple of years ago. Chuck was in terrible shape, underweight, and had a very bad skin condition. We put him on a raw diet and within two to three months his skin condition healed. He had put on the proper amount of weight and became a beautiful example of what good nutrition can do. A lot of common ailments seen in dogs and cats can be

traced to poor quality pet foods. Issues with digestion, skin conditions, ear infections, and food allergies can frequently be traced to ingredients in the food. Often, merely upgrading the quality of the food can improve these conditions or make them disappear completely. Education is the key. Research the ingredients in your pet food. Avoid excessive grains, corn, wheat, soy, artificial colors, BHA, and BHT. Look for the first ingredients on the label to be a named meat or a good quality named meat meal. Pretty ads and claims of foods being healthy are easily debunked once you really study the ingredient labels. Good nutrition, proper training and lots of love and affection will bring out the masterpiece snowflake in your four-legged companions!

We sculpt our own lives. We are the Michelangelo of our own thoughts and actions. It is very important that while we are here on earth we model ourselves after brave little snowflakes and make a difference during our brief life. In the large scope of the history of the universe, we human beings only have a tiny window of opportunity to make an impact. So many of us did not have good childhoods, but like the little snowflake that defies the odds, we still survive. The snowflake survives falling from the sky. It lands on the ground and survives the sun beating down on it. In its brief life, it spreads beauty and joy. Be like the snowflake! Despite your unpleasant early years, defy the odds, spread joy and sunshine wherever you can. After all, doesn't everybody want to be around positive, happy people? We must all strive to be an influence in the micro-universe of our friends and family. It is important to make others feel glad they were in our presence. We should try to shine brightly, stand out, and make a true difference by improving everything around us. How can we do this? Make a few people smile. Make them feel valued before we, too, melt away some day. Smile! Smiling is free, and it gives so much joy to others. Be kind! Kindness is also free, and we feel happy, too, when we are kind to other people. Kindness is infectious. Others will catch it from us. And finally, be polite! Society has become too rude and uncaring, so be part of the solution to change things and spread politeness instead.

Does the TRUTH Really Set You FREE?

like the experiences and want to continue creating them or not. Most of us go day to day not stopping to give it much thought almost as if we don’t have a choice, so we just keep on doing it. As you feel into where you are in your life right now, does it feel free? Does it feel like your truth? Tune in. Close your eyes and get in your heart. What are you experiencing right now?

by Carolanne Anselmo

ANSWER: LIVING IN YOUR TRUTH CAN SET THE WORLD FREE.

nothing is ever wrong--it’s just an experience.

How many of us can say we are living in our truth? On a daily basis, we are constantly being programmed, both consciously and subconsciously. The programs can come from our ancestral DNA to environmental factors and everything in between. One of the biggest factors affecting our acceptance or non-acceptance of these programs is our emotional state or vibration. So great…now what? “What does that have to do with living in my truth?” you ask.

So take a good look at your life right now– WITHOUT THE ENERGY OF JUDGMENT and without the energy of being wrong. Your life is a string of experiences. You get to make the choice of whether you

velo c it y

ReadVelocity.com

The choices we make are always perfect for whatever it leads us to next. We have the power within to set ourselves free. What is your truth? What is stopping you from stepping into your truth? What is it inside that makes you feel free? Whatever it is that raises your vibration in body, mind, heart, and soul, take it wherever you go and share with others so they can be inspired to find their truth, too! By being the example of living in your truth you can help set the whole world free.

Imagine this. Someone asks you to play a game of tennis and you are in the mood to play. You may end up loving it and join a league. If someone were to ask you while you are very sad or depressed, you may play horribly or choose not to play at all, missing your opportunity to discover and explore a love of the game. Our emotions affect our decisions–always–whether we are aware of it or not. There’s nothing wrong with that. JUST HAVING THIS AWARENESS GIVES YOU THE POWER TO CHANGE YOUR STATE OF BEING, because, in truth,

A dear soul recently shared with me she was not living in her truth. She told me she had come to an “Aha!” moment and realized she was following her friend's dream by working for the same company. In this “Aha!,” she felt her heart open up in a way she had never experienced. As her heart blossomed, it shed light on all aspects of her life. She was able to examine them and realize that everything that had ever happened got her to that very moment of expansion. She knew the career was not wrong. In fact, it had carried her to her treasure of awakening. It was simply time for her to move on to a new place and a new truth to unfold.

BIRTH IS NORMAL, NATURAL, AND HEALTHY Women’s bodies are magnificently designed to give birth. Women, their bodies and their babies, are capable of much, much more than most people realize.

THE WAY TO BE IN CONTROL IN LABOR IS TO SURRENDER TO THE PROCESS Women need to feel safe and supported during birth. Birth is one of the most empowering things a woman will ever do in her lifetime.

uterus to contract instead of being passive. Women begin fighting their bodies. Dilation can slow or halt. Birth becomes painful.

BIRTH DOES NOT HAVE TO BE EXCRUCIATINGLY PAINFUL Pain is a warning bell that something is wrong within the body. Birth is a normal physiological process. The more a woman is able to relax and follow her body’s lead, the more easily her body can open and release her baby as it is designed to do. When extreme pain is experienced in labor, it is often a signal that something is wrong: a baby that is malpositioned, a complication in labor, a stressful environment, forcing labor through an induction. BIRTH IS A FORCE OF NATURE Like all forces of nature, things go better when birth is allowed to unfold on its own, only stepping in when help is truly needed. Birth is wise, and it can be trusted if we learn to heed that wisdom. Cont. bottom of col. 1, next pg.

OUR BABIES ARE IN CONTROL This is the first lesson in parenting. Our current common medical birthing practices are often forcing babies to be born before they might be ready. Ultimately, babies decide how they will be born, whether that is a premature, vaginal, or cesarean birth. It is their spiritual journey. It is our job as parents to educate ourselves, choose good caregivers and environments that trust birth, release our fears that could influence the birth process, and step out in faith. Michelle A.

We all pursue beauty.

When we are not born with natural beauty, we turn to beauty products and even cosmetic surgery to enhance our looks. But no matter how hard we try to achieve the perfect look, it never compares to the beauty of just being natural. Look at the beauty of nature: the crystal blue sky, the floating white clouds, the colorful hues of a rainbow after it rains, and the twinkling stars at night. Go climb to the top of a mountain at night, when the moon is bright and the air is crisp, and as far as the eye can see, you can appreciate the panoramic beauty of nature and the vast openness of the universe. In this universe of ours, there are lofty mountains and steep cliffs, there are boundless deserts, there are rushing rivers and lush forests. All these naturally beautiful landscapes of the world are odes of praise to the beauty and wonder of nature. The beauty of nature is really endless and fascinating!

The Beauty of Being Natural by Venerable Master Hsing Yun

natural, we should speak with humor, we should be reasonable with others, and we should be gracious in how we handle world affairs. Then the beauty of being natural may be close at hand. The valor of men and the gentleness of women, the kindliness of seniors and the innocence of children are all life’s examples of beauty in being natural.

The Middle Pillar ritual from Kabbalah is an excellent way to connect the individual with divine energy. The idea is that there are five main energy centers (Sephira) down the middle of the human psychic nervous system.

The Divine Light– Divine Energy Connection

Here is a simplified version of it. 1. Visualize a a scintillating ball of white light hovering over the Kether, the Sephiroth at the crown of the head. Chant the Hebrew word "AHIH" (pronounced "Eh-heyeh") and imagine that word's vibrations inserted into the middle of the ball. 2. Now visualize a smaller ball of white light around the throat (Da'ath). This is the link between the energy body and the lower body. Imagine a pillar of light descending into the Da'ath. Chant "YHVH ALHIM" ("Ye-hoh-voh E-lohheem") and again insert that word into the ball's center.

of the genitals. Let the light pillar descend to this area. Chant the word "SHADDAI AL CHAI" ("Shah-dai El Chai") and insert this sound into the center of the ball. 5. The lowest Sephiroth is Malkuth, in the feet. Draw down the middle pillar into Malkuth as you chant the word "ADNI HARTZ" ("Ah-doh-nai ha-Ah-retz"). Again, insert that word into the center of the ball. Now create a ball of divine l i g h t around you from t h e s e Sephira.

Now draw the light around the sides of the body, creating a ball of light. Next, imagine a fountain of light flowing up through the middle pillar and bursting out of the head. Spread that light around. Enjoy this unity between the energetical and physical bodies for five minutes or more.

Our Human

U N V E I L I N G O U R S E LV E S

and Spiritual

are aware of the human or personality characteristics that make every person as unique as a snowflake whether these may be in terms of appearance, or personal traits, or qualities. We are informed in spiritual teachings that at the soul or higher levels, “everything is one,” existing in unity, which seems to contradict ideas about individuality or uniqueness in the spiritual levels of reality.

Uniqueness

In fact, we each have uniqueness at the soul or spiritual level of reality. Before exploring this, let us describe from a spiritual perspective, our uniqueness as human beings.

BY REV. ANDREW CEKUN

I will begin with a discussion of the Seven Cosmic Rays,1 the energies of which condition everything in the manifested universe from an atom, to a human being, even a star or solar system. First the names of these Rays that describe their qualities are:

Ray I Ray II Ray III Ray IV Ray V Ray VI Ray VII

Will or Power Love-Wisdom Intelligence or Activity Harmony through Conflict, or Beauty and Art Exact Knowledge or Science Idealism or Devotion Order or Organization

The Rays of the soul, personality, mental body, astral-emotional body, and etheric-physical bodies condition a human being. It is possible for a person to have five separate Rays or one or more in duplication (two or more vehicles governed by the same Ray). This can create many possible combinations given five “bodies” (including the causal body or soul) and seven different Rays. These Rays are related to astrology as each ray is distributed through three different star groupings (constellations) and their representative zodiacal signs as commonly known (i.e. Aquarius, etc.). In fact, these Ray energies are the primary cause of the effects of all known astrological influences. There are, in theory, 16,807 possible combinations. Even limiting these to the most common mental, emotional, and physical rays, we still have (a more realistic) 588 possible combinations! Add to this the unique complexities of a birth chart (horoscope) in astrology, and you have almost limitless possibilities. Let us simplify to the two most important elements of one’s horoscope, the sun and rising (ascendant) signs. This adds 144 more possible combinations of energies that influence human consciousness.

The seven soul types or Rays are not equally probable. Some are more common than others. You are subjectively linked or connected on the inner planes with everyone who has the same soul Ray, sharing a common purpose and destiny. This article describes some of the most important factors contributing to our human and spiritual uniqueness. _______________________ 1 Robert Gerard, Ph.D, and Michael D.

SELFLESS MOTHERING

The Exquisite Journey of Natural Childbirth  Each One Unique to Mother BY AREE PEARLMAN

My sister-in-law says I am a contradiction. Aren’t we all?! I am a quiet woman, yet since my children have been born, I feel braver to express myself without feeling apologetic about showing emotion. I feel alive and comfortable in my own strength and vulnerability as a woman. I believe it begins in labor when women are allowed to engage in the full experience of birthing without the use of drugs to numb our bodies and minds.

might not be able to talk at all; we might cry. If our husband coach knows about transition and what to do when and if we reach it, he can gently increase his coaching and pull different techniques out of his tool box of knowledge. When we finally make it to second stage, our floodgates open. The baby is on the way, however we continue our emotional journey. We are excited to be Mom, we are scared for the responsibility, we want this baby, and we want our freedom to do what we want when we want it which we know will not happen again for a long time. Then the baby arrives and we get a rush of love hormone (oxytocin) and can think of nothing better in the world.

A woman in labor can experience a whole rainbow of feelings through the process. In first stage labor, from the point a woman realizes this is really labor until she starts to feel the need to push, she experiences a flurry of thoughts which all affect how she will address the labor process and the life-changing experience of becoming a mother. She will embrace these experiences and changes if she is encouraged to ride the wave but may become resentful, passive, or untouched by the rawness of the moments in front of her if she is expected to quiet herself or hand her birth over to the manipulation of others. In first stage labor, she needs to express her fears or doubts to fully let her body relax. She will switch positions between active and passive (such as shower, sleep, birth/yoga ball, tub, stair walking, side-lying position, etc). She will look into her partner’s eyes and receive warmth and encouragement, excitement, and understanding about the journey they are on together.

The placenta is born in third stage–an afterthought and yet the very soothsayer of the event. The placenta tells the world how we carried this baby, physically, nutritionally, and emotionally. It gives insight into our strengths and weaknesses, and dare I say, even how we may be as a mother. If we are allowed this snowflake, if you will, of emotions in which we will never feel the same again (even subsequent births are different experiences), if we are allowed this range of emotions, these ice crystals of different formations, then we can truly feel one-of-a-kind–delicate and cold, quick to warm and slow to evaporate completely. We are woman. We are Mom. We have taken on the awesome responsibility and privilege of bringing a new being into this world.

If she gets to the end of first stage without intervention, she may experience transition. This is a period between first and second stage which is the shortest and most intense. It is at this point where we feel we may ask for “a little something;” we have hit a wall; we cannot go any further. We may get sweaty, shaky, nauseous, cold; we might get upset at the people around us for not doing what we need them to do; we

tude that takes time to establish; it isn’t simply about saying “thank you,” but rather it's about the combination of acknowledging our blessings and feeling grateful in our hearts. The ultimate goal is to integrate the thought of gratitude in our heads with the feeling of gratitude in our heart center because it is when this feeling awakens that our vibration shifts and we begin to draw more blessings into our lives than we could ever dream possible!

Developing a Gratitude Ritual

BY K E R I N O L A , M A , L M H C

Gratitude is the singlemost important tradition of our lives. It welcomes a kind of peace and joy in our hearts that only grace knows. Contrary to popular belief, gratitude isn’t just a feeling. It is an experience that we cultivate through intentional daily practice. Choosing to mindfully engage in a gratitude ritual, prepares and trains us to be able to access love and light even in the darkest of times. So on those days when gratitude is the last thing on our minds or in our hearts, maybe we’ll allow ourselves to practice gratefulness for a moment and see how this experience realigns us with our Divine Selves and our birthrights of infinite love, peace, joy, health, and abundance.

Perhaps you’ll create a gratitude journal where you’ll capture your gratefulness or maybe you’ll gather with a community of friends to co-create a sacred space for sharing, or maybe you prefer to just hold the experience in your heart. Whatever you decide, be sure to personalize your gratitude ritual to meet your own needs as you discover what resonates with you over time. Are you ready for the challenge? Ready, set, blessed!

If the idea of a daily gratitude ritual is new for you, I recommend Four Simple Steps (acronym B.A.R.E.): Breathe…close your eyes and take a deep intentional breath, inhaling peace and calm and exhaling tension, struggle, and fear. Hold this step until you feel grounded and centered to move on to step 2. Awaken Awareness… allow yourself to meditate on what is true in the present moment. Become aware of each NOW moment. Recognize Blessings… name one or more blessing that come to your awareness in this moment. Let your senses be your guide. What do you see, hear, feel, taste, and/or smell that generate an experience of gratitude for you right now? Emotions Flow… allow the emotions to flow as the naming of your blessings translates into an experience of feeling and enjoy the integration as your gratitude travels from the cognitive awareness of your head space into the emotional awareness of your heart space.

Our Position in the Total Human by Rayna Tamarin Angeleri Garcia

Sometimes we believe we’re subject to the wishes, whims, influence, and rules of others, however if this were true then we would have all been born the same person and we’d all want the same things out of life’s experience. In actuality, we’re ONE SPIRIT moving through many experiences and vantage points. Each of us has preferences, each of our cells have preferences and so on down to the smallest version. So how do we coordinate all of these varying preferences and create a world that works for the ALL as well as for the individual? Keeping in mind that the whole is greater than the sum of its parts helps us to clarify how this is possible. When we think of a snowflake in all of its ornate intricacy and then think of a snowman, we start to get a better perspective of how each individual flake must be all that it can be in order to collectively manifest as a proper snowman with all of its parts in the right place, pure white and attractive to its original design. We all have an image of what the snowman should look like in the final build, but we don’t stop to think about each flake that is a part of it. This is an example of co-creation at play. Each snowflake participates in its own unique space manifesting the masterpiece, the sculpted snowman. If a snowman isn’t your cup o’ cocoa, then think of an ice sculpture or an iceberg. When I was five years young, maybe younger, I had a vision that all the people in the world were stacked together creating one giant human. I didn’t disregard all other life glorifying humans, but because I was shown this one example I was able to understand that each of us has a unique position in the total Human.

Just like the chords in a symphony, if each instrument played the same notes it would sound so much less than stellar. When I was in the fifth grade my music teacher had each student play the same notes no matter the instrument. It did no justice to each sound. It sounded like we had mixed all the paints together and got a mucky brown-gray sound. Uniqueness in chords creates harmony. Organizing colors creates complementary feel and appeal. Contrast such as Chiaroscuro creates visual image.1 Each sentient being, like a snowflake, is equally special and has a place in synchronicity. With each one empowered with selfawareness, the whole will be as special as it was designed to be. Changing the world happens as we remember our allinclusive diversity as a good thing. Happily, allinclusive will mean no wars or cruelty, because no one will feel the need to oppress as they realize they themselves are truly free.

Just like our fingerprints which distinguish us from everyone else in the world, we also each possess a unique quality of greatness whether we realize it or not.

by Debbie Paulk, Contributing Success Editor

Some of us recognized and embraced our magnificence at an early age and were encouraged to express ourselves in our own unique way, however others were dissuaded from or perhaps even ridiculed if we demonstrated our individuality. While it's easy to observe the brilliant qualities displayed by an Olympic athlete or an award-winning musician, it can, however, be more difficult to recognize our own natural talents. At times we can become discouraged and believe that we are simply an ordinary being, blending in with everyone else in humanity. Nothing could be further from the truth. We are all special in our own way and play a much larger role in the universe than we can ever begin to imagine. We are all individual expressions of the Divine having a human experience. If we could comprehend the magnitude of the greatness that we were born with, we would never question our ability to be exactly who we came here to be. When we rediscover and tap into our genius, we are actually connecting with the Source that created us and are able to proclaim our greatness. When we're expressing our greatness, we are happy and feel a sense of wholeness and fulfillment, however if we're not honoring our natural born gifts and abilities and feel disconnected from ourselves we may feel as if something is off or missing in our lives. Many people have experienced feeling this way during what some call a mid-life crisis, although we can have these feelings at any age. Getting in touch with our authentic self can be a process and part of our lifelong journey. Allowing ourselves patience and quiet time alone can help significantly. We can begin to ask ourselves quietly during meditation or while enjoying nature a few questions such as: What am I great at? What do I love to do? When am I the happiest? What comes easy or natural to me? What do people tell me I'm good at? Have confidence that the answers to the questions will reveal themselves in the form of thoughts or feelings, or in conversations with others. Some people claim to have been given answers while watching a movie, listening to the lyrics of a song, or in a dream. Be open to all possibilities. More opportunities

On Becoming a Better Personality by Reverend E. Ann Otzelberger

Each of us has our own personality and this personality remains a part of us as we go through life. Each of us also keeps the same personality when we go forward to the next plane of existence. This unique personality is ours to keep here and hereafter. It has the ability to grow, to learn, and to put forth effort to be a better personality. We can make our lives better and improve our personality by working with and adhering to Natural Laws. It is a Natural Law that no two physical objects can occupy the same space at the same time. Similarly, no two spirit intelligences can occupy the same space at the same time. This proves again that we are each unique in our personality and in the space we require here and hereafter. It has been observed that we are individuals, however we must remember we are a part of the whole. One way to explain that we are part of the whole is when you consider we are all a part of the Divine Infinite Intelligence, God. You can think of the great ocean. All of the water in the ocean is the whole, one drop of that water still has within it the same qualities as the whole and would represent the individual. I find this fascinating, and it helps me to understand my relationship to the earth and all there is. Being part of the whole, part of the Infinite, we all have responsibilities to ourselves and to humankind. We all actually have a responsibility to the earth, to the universe, to the here and the hereafter. What I do to help myself and the world around me will help me to be a better personality. The Law of Higher Will shows us when we have made the mistake and imposed our opinions or beliefs on other people, forgetting that others have their own path to follow which isn't ours. This same law also benefits us as we tend to sabotage ourselves, secretly doubt our own goodness or intentions, and need to connect our life to a sense of deeper meaning. It is not necessary for us to have a belief in an external God, nor is it attached to any particular religious dogma. To apply it in our own life all we must do is ask within ourselves, “If a wise, loving, compassionate, all-knowing Spirit within me were guiding me now, what would I do in this situation?” This law functions because such a Spirit does work through us; we only have to contact it by calling upon that part of ourselves and then we know what to do, acting from the highest and best that is within us. Reverend E. Ann Otzelberger is the Founding Pastor of New Vision Spiritualist Center. She is an NSAC Ordained Minister, a Commissioned Spiritualist Healer, a certified medium and National Spiritualist Teacher. Reverend Otzelberger is a Trustee on the Board of Directors of the NSAC and serves the Morris Pratt Institute as Vice President of their Board of Directors and as member of their Education Committee.

In today’s world the most optimum diet, drinking pure water, exercising regularly or even diligently supplementing with mega-doses of vitamins and minerals will not ensure the preservation of good health for most Americans. Unfortunately, in these modern toxic times, our immune systems have been subjected to poisons unparalleled in previous centuries and unimaginable by our earlier ancestors. The placement of toxic mercury amalgam fillings in our mouths, the pervasive petrochemicals polluting our homes and environment, the injection of DNA-damaging childhood vaccinations, and the excessive use of antibiotics and other prescription drugs are just a sample of the modern traumatizing effects that have rendered many individuals chronically ill, and perhaps in some cases, essentially incapable of ever truly getting well. Until these and other obstacles to cure are adequately addressed, general guidelines--although important to maintain a healthy lifestyle--are simply no longer adequate to fend off degenerative disease and help individuals regain their birthright of optimal health. Indeed, in our current toxic environment much more radical measures are required.

Today’s Terminal Diagnosis for Modern Medicine Many health-minded individuals have gone to great lengths to feel better. They have purchased water filters, shop often at health food stores, take nutritional supplements, and try to exercise regularly. Some have gone even further and avoid their primary food allergy, purchase herbal and homeopathic remedies when they get sick, and do ongoing personal growth work. And yet, for the majority of even these highly motivated individuals, the abundant energy, vitality, and feeling of well-being that define optimum health are rarely realized. Further, many live in fear, often unconsciously, of succumbing later in life to cancer, heart disease, Alzheimer’s, or any of the other devastating illnesses that have become so epidemic in our modern world. Sadly, the long awaited cures that doctors, numerous charities and associations, and various telethons have been promising us for decades are just around the corner continue to remain elusive and dismal in the efforts.

was 696,947. These figures themselves dramatically depict the obvious failure of modern medicine to find an adequate treatment for heart disease, however when another figure is added to the equation, the 2.2 billion dollars donated to the American Heart Association since 1949 to find a cure, this failure is all the more conspicuous. In fact cardiovascular disease, a more recently utilized category that encompasses all forms of heart disease including heart attacks, congestive heart failure, and strokes, is currently the leading cause of death and disability in the U. S., accounting for 1,400,000 deaths in 2002 alone! Cancer: “WE’RE NOT WINNING THIS WAR EITHER” In 1900, three percent of Americans were diagnosed with cancer during their lifetime. Less than four decades later, between 1907 and 1936, cancer rates had risen by an astounding ninety percent. Finally in 1971, President Richard Nixon declared a war on Cancer and Congress passed the National Cancer Act to try to quell this epidemic disease. Based on numerous media reports over the next several decades since 1971, it did appear that modern allopathic medicine was making progress in treating this devastating disease with chemotherapy, radiation, and surgery, however the National Cancer Institute recently reported that these previously optimistic reports on the decline of several types of cancer were actually false and simply reflected significant delays in the reporting of cancer cases. In fact, in 2002, this Institute revealed that many cancer rates have, in reality, been on the rise including breast and lung cancer in women and prostate cancer in men. Although the often-touted incidence of lung cancer has declined in men, this has nothing to do with new medical treatments or advances in science but correlates directly with the decline in smoking that began with the surgeon general’s emphasis on quitting smoking in 1964 and the subsequent widespread advertising and educational efforts launched to acknowledge the hazards inherent in this dangerous habit. Despite this reduction in lung cancer, cancer remains our number two killer and was responsible for 557,271 deaths in 2002. Indeed, even the ratio of cancer rates have risen from the previous rate of affecting approximately one in three individuals to the present percentages estimated by the American Cancer Society of striking approximately fifty percent of all men and forty percent of all women. As has happened with cardiovascular disease, and although the medical establishment has been given over forty billion dollars in donations over the last thirty years to find a cure, we are actually no closer to winning the war on cancer than we were a century ago. What Is the Answer? “RADICAL FUNDAMENTAL MEDICINE” In addition to these natural therapies of diet, exercise and rest

that were generally prescribed for the sick both currently and in previous centuries, to further facilitate healing in modern-day patients who typically present with complex issues and multiple toxic insults, one must first be a good detective. That is, in order to truly affect a cure it is imperative that the holistic physician or practitioner initially ascertain a correct diagnosis and through that understanding then prescribe an appropriate therapy. Just as in quality psychological work, only when we know where we’ve been can we see a clear direction of where we need to go. In the same way in medicine, the true cause of a patient’s disease or dysfunction is always paramount, and when it is revealed through a thorough history, exam, and necessary laboratory work, this well-considered diagnosis both signals and shapes the appropriate treatment or treatments needed. Thus one must always endeavor to go to the root of the problems in order to fully utilize the knowledge and to master the methods of treatment that are conveyed in “Radical Fundamental Medicine.” In fact, the term radical for this field of holistic medicine was chosen not for its common connotation of unorthodox or extreme but for its original denotation as that which goes “to the root or origin,” and that which is “fundamental, far-reaching, and thorough in its approach.” CONCLUSION: If you or a loved one is currently experiencing health challenges and are concerned with the current status of care rendered, then I would highly suggest that you seek the care and expertise of a highly qualified, trained, licensed health care provider in Alternative Complementary Medicine. Physicians who practice this healing art are very well trained and equipped in the careful examination and evaluation procedures needed to make a proper diagnosis. These healthcare practitioners are the cutting edge in modern medicine and will be able to properly assess and treat many conditions which have been misdiagnosed, mismanaged and mistreated. These healthcare providers are the future for the life-saving knowledge and skills that will aid our ailing society and mankind. Dr. Michael Badanek has been serving the Central Florida/Marion County region for more than 32 years in active clinical practice. Dr. Badanek is a licensed Chiropractic Physician with extensive post graduate education in Alternative Complementary Medicine. Dr. Badanek is also educated in the following fields of health care: Acupuncture, Clinical Nutrition, Homeopathy, Applied Kinesiology, Functional and Traditional Allopathic Medicine, Electrodermal Screening, and Naturopathic Medicine. Dr. Badanek has been able to acquire in his post graduate education four board certifications in alternative healthcare. His real love and zeal in healthcare is treating patients with all types of conditions with alternative complementary/ functional medicine. Dr. Badanek is especially eager to treat people with a problems or ailments which have not been responsive to traditional or alternative treatment programs.

MOON ASTROLOGY September–August 2012 Observing nature, we notice that each sunrise, sunset, leaf, and snowflake is different and unique. Similarly, each one of us is unique and special in our own way--a one-of-a-kind masterpiece, you might say. Watch the sun rise. From the point of darkness, the sky begins to slowly and gradually lighten. Pale shades of pink, lavender, peach, and coral begin to emerge. A small spot of luminescent orange very gradually begins to grow. As the colors deepen, the sun emerges once again, bringing light into the darkness--a brand new day ripe with potential. What will you choose today? Recreating yesterday's story or viewing life from a little different perspective? Stepping into the day empowered to create anew or remaining a victim of the past? The choice is yours. It is not so much what occurs that is important but the choices we make to negotiate our circumstances. As you move through your day, tune in to how unique and special you are. Then tune in to how you are connected to other people, to the earth, the creatures, the sun, moon, stars, and planets. Like the cells of a body, each one is different and amazingly unique and each one touches and affects the others in some way. When we feel peaceful, we radiate peace, and that energy touches those around us adding to the energy of peace in our world. When we are anxious, fearful, or angry, that energy also radiates out to affect others. The choices we make create how we feel and the type of energy we radiate to the world. Because the thoughts, words, and actions of each and every one of us are so important, it is essential that we cultivate inner peace. Take a deep breath in. As you exhale, check in with your physical body. Where do you feel tight or tense? Now focus on an area and as you exhale, and consciously release some of the tension. Go over your body, releasing pockets of tension each time you breathe out. Next, observe your mind. Is it calm and peaceful or overwhelmed, fragmented, frazzled, and racing all over the place? Take another breath and perhaps a few more long, deep, slow breaths to calm your mind. The mind and the breath are very much interconnected. Deep, conscious breathing helps us to calm and center our mind. Attuning to the cosmic energies of the sun, moon, stars, and planets can also assist us in achieving a deeper sense of peace, harmony, and interconnection with all of life. As the sun moves through the earth sign of Virgo (Aug. 23-Sept. 22), we are encouraged to realign with the cycles of nature. As the last sign of summer, Virgo is a mutable sign assisting us as we prepare to transition into autumn. Utilize the energies offered during this time period to connect with the earth, ground and center yourself, organize your life, and take care of your body. With the new moon in Virgo on September 15, begin or expand a plan to strengthen your body and sense of well-being. On September 22, the fall equinox and the sun moving into the air sign of Libra (Sept. 22-Oct. 21) both bring the energy of balance. As a cardinal

by Raven Moondance sign, Libra initiates a new season. What is highlighted for you during the Aries/Libra full moon on September 29? Where is more balance needed in your life? With the new moon in Libra on October 15, plant seeds for establishing or reinforcing healthy patterns and practices that support your evolving sense of self, living in harmony and balance with others, the earth and all our relations (the creatures, plants, rocks, oceans, mountains, and rivers). As the sun moves through the fixed sign of Scorpio (Oct. 22-Nov. 21), consider what needs to be released or shed from your life. A fixed sign anchors and holds the energy of a season. What needs to be reinforced and anchored more fully into your life and what needs to be let go? Allow the full moon in Taurus/Scorpio on October 29 to bring the insights you need to grow and evolve in these ever-changing times. UTILIZE THESE AFFIRMATIONS TO ASSIST YOU IN ALIGNING MORE FULLY WITH YOUR UNIQUE AND AMAZING SELF.

ARIES

(March 19-April 19): Keep your thoughts positive and your words life-affirming. During the sign of Leo (July 22-August 22), you had opportunities to strengthen your confidence and uplift your spirit. Allow your renewed sense of self to carry you forward. AFFIRMATION: I love and respect myself. I feel good about the unique being that I am and about the special qualities I have to offer. I am blessed.

TAURUS (April 20-May 20): One day at a time, trust in Divine timing. All occurs exactly when it is meant to occur. Be patient with life, yourself, and others. You are doing your very best and everyone else is, too. Enjoy the moment! AFFIRMATION: One day at a time, I totally trust that I am supported and guided from deep within my being. All is exactly as it should be.

GEMINI

(May 21-June 20): If you are feeling a bit vulnerable, it is okay. You are being encouraged to release a lot of outmoded beliefs and perceptions about yourself and life. Let go of whatever no longer works and begin to reinvent yourself without the programming of the past. AFFIRMATION: My choices support my new sense of self that is emerging from deep within. I am supported in every moment.

CANCER (June 21-July 22): If you feel alone or unsupported, dig deep to access that powerful God/Goddess within you. You have the inner strength to be, do, accomplish, and negotiate anything if you go within. Trust your higher self to guide you. AFFIRMATION: I totally trust that I am supported and guided in every moment. The wisdom of my higher self is just a thought away!

LEO (July 23-Aug. 22): As you set the foundation for your new year ahead initiated by your birthday, strengthen and affirm your sense of gratitude. Be grateful for all your experiences whether you perceive them as good or bad, easy or difficult. Each one gives us a blessing and assists us on our unique path. AFFIRMATION: I open my heart in gratitude for all that I have, for all those I know, and for all my experiences. I am blessed with a joyful life!

C R E AT I N G O U R F U T U R E I N T H E N O W

VIRGO (Aug. 23-Sept. 22): Observe your life and world as you complete a year and begin a new one with your birthday. This is an opportune time to let go of what isn't really working for you. What changes need to be made? Notice your thoughts, actions, and reactions. Begin to shift your focus in order to initiate any changes you wish to see unfold over the coming months. AFFIRMATION: As I step into my new year, opportunity, change and growth flow easily. I feel supported and guided in every moment.

LIBRA (Sept. 23-Oct. 22) It is clean up and clear out time for you! What is not working? What needs to go? Beliefs? Possessions? People? Limited thinking? Expectations? Clean out your closets and your mind. Let go and release the old on all levels. Think of your birthday as a time of rebirth and renewal. Allow the out--moded parts of you to die away. AFFIRMATION: With each exhalation, I release the past and old ways of being. With each inhalation, love, hope, and joy fill and surround me creating wondrous opportunities for my year ahead.

SCORPIO (Oct. 23-Nov.21) Take a deep breath or two and contemplate what has surfaced for you over the summer. What do you need to work on or work out in order to create a more fluid alignment of your thoughts, words, and actions? Get focused and do what is needed, and you will feel a deeper sense of inner peace. AFFIRMATION: I love and accept myself for the unique being that I am. I open my heart and allow love to flow into all that I do.

SAGITTARIUS

(Nov. 22-Dec. 21) It may seem that so much is occurring within and around you. Be patient! Even though you are eager to push forward as soon as possible, take time to fully investigate and consider potential outcomes before making important decisions or moves. Your focused clarity now will create more positive results in the long term. AFFIRMATION: With ease and confidence, I examine, explore, and negotiate whatever comes my way. All is in Divine Order when I take my time and go with the flow.

CAPRICORN (Dec. 22-Jan. 19) Continue to nurture your confidence in your intuition and your faith. Trust in the guidance you receive from deep within. On a daily basis, consciously connect with the earth, nature, cosmic energies, whatever feels right for you. Your inner knowingness will continue to strengthen and expand. AFFIRMATION: My intuition guides me from deep within my being. I feel connected to the flow of the Universe and to the earth beneath my feet. I am truly blessed.

AQUARIUS (Jan. 20-Feb. 18) Give yourself time and space, as well as permission, to work through any sad, hurt, or painful feelings, or memories that may surface. Find ways to release the past. It is time for a deeper level of healing. Contemplate to uncover lessons garnered from your experiences. AFFIRMATION: I release the past and allow myself to heal to the depth of my soul. I am learning and growing from my life lessons. I am grateful and blessed.

PISCES

(Feb. 19-March 19) Indulge your imagination by allowing yourself to create positive, life-affirming solutions for any challenges or dilemmas that may come up. Be open to unexpected changes as unpredictability is certainly in the air. AFFIRMATION: I feel joy as I envision the outcomes I desire. I trust that the Universe has this or something better in store for me. I am grateful.

Headaches: A Real Pain In the Neck

copper haired beauty said spritely, "Hardly ever, if I could just stay on schedule to get adjusted!" Between motherhood, work, relationships, and life we too often just don't take care of ourselves. Statistics say migraines are more common in women and affect over 10% of the population among women. Many people do not know that clinical studies show Chiropractic has positive results in treating migraine, tension, and cluster headaches.

BY RAMAH WAGNER, D. C. CONTRIBUTING HEALTH EDITOR Over many years in practice, we have helped thousands with neck pain and headaches. It is not uncommon to have patients' headaches gone in hours or sometimes minutes after being adjusted. This week I gave a talk in a wellness workshop at my office on headaches. As I interacted with the group (many themselves working in the healthcare field), some shared how bad their headaches were. They had one of three common types of headaches: tension, cluster, and migraine.

Tension headaches are very common in both men and women. "Doc, my head feels like it is going to pop off," I hear often in my office. The mid-back and neck begin to get chronic tightness and tension. Sometimes the pressure creeps up around the back of the head and tightenslike a sweatband causing pain above the ears and temples. A hot bath, massage, or exercise often help, however patients return again and again because of their stressful lifestyle.

Many attending reported having migraines. One nurse in her late twenties with bright copper hair piped up, "One time my migraine was so bad it lasted for eight days straight. It felt like a throbbing knife pain on the left side of my head around my eye and temple. Eventually, I saw light spots and went to the hospital because my neck and arm went numb. It really freaked me out. I thought I was having a stroke, but it was just a really bad migraine." Another said, "When my husband's migraines get bad I find him laying on the bathroom floor with the lights out and his head against the cool tile." Still another responded, "My migraines have normally lasted three days with one or two per week. After my last auto accident, they they came back worse than before. Then I met you, Dr. Ramah, and got adjusted. Now I only get one or two a year. Thank God!" I have always been a caring doctor, but I had never really internalized the amount of suffering associated with migraine headaches until now. I asked them how often they had migraines now. The

All headaches, whether tension, migraine, cluster, or even sinus, come from same place--the first and second cervical vertebrae and nerves. Gray's anatomy shows that the ears, eyes, nose, mouth, and all of the nerves of the head and face come from this upper part of the neck. If the headache is just a headache and not something else like a brain tumor or hemorrhage, they can be dealt with by adjusting the upper neck. There are common culprits that get headaches started by "blowing out" the upper neck bones and nerves which are: food allergens, preservatives, dyes, and coloring. Airborne allergens like dust and pollen can •

"blow out" the upper cervical vertebrae and cause a sinus headache and sinus pain. Sometimes prolonged computer work can make muscles between the shoulder blades and neck tight and pull out the upper neck. At other times, too much emotional stress will actually "lock up" the motion of the upper neck and skull causing a headache and vision problems. Whatever the cause the treatment is the same--to reestablish the natural function of the nervous system and get rid of the pain. When it comes to the specific diagnosis of what kind of headache you may suffer from, not all Chiropractors are the same in their approach and result. Finding out what is causing your headaches will help rid the problem. If the headaches are not something you can change, just having a specific treatment plan will make a big difference. Many of my patients have said getting rid of headaches has helped them get to the real purpose of their lives. Oprah's doctor said she suffered from migraines until she realized the mental stress she was creating for herself. Pain is always there challenging us to pay attention and be loving to ourselves. After all, are we not here to end suffering and make the world a beautiful place for ourselves and others? Ramah Wagner, D. C. is a third generation alternative health doctor.

Are You An Auspicious Volunteer? by Katarah Vishnu

We are living in a very auspicious time on Earth. The Mother is in the process of transitioning into a much higher and lighter dimensional frequency and if we are to go with her, we, too, must arise our vibration. This is the first time that an entire planet may actually succeed in making this leap. This is considered such a momentous event that souls from throughout the galaxies have volunteered to come to Earth to assist in bringing this about. In the past, the human race has not been able to rise above its negativity and chaos resulting in wars, hatred, greed, anger, and ego domination that our free will has allowed us to choose. Once World War II and the destructive use of atomic energy occurred, it was decided by the Councils overseeing Earth that consciousness needed to change if we were going to keep man from not only destroying the planet but causing chaos and imbalance throughout the cosmos once again. Since this is a free will zone and the Councils could not interfere, a plan was devised to bring souls of a much higher vibrational frequency to Earth with the hope that their energy would help to create a shift in the mass consciousness of the planet. At the end of World War II, a call went out asking for volunteers to come to Earth from distant star systems to help in the ascension process of Earth. These volunteers have been arriving in waves. The first wave began in the mid 1940s. These souls were the pioneers. They not only came with all memory erased of who they are and where they are from but with karma/lessons to be cleared. All they know is that they are different; they don’t fit in. All the violence and hatred causes them much pain and confusion and they just don’t want to be here; many are suffering from depression and suicide attempts. They know that there is a mission they are here to complete, but most have no idea what it is. Most of the second wave are in their mid twenties to forties. They have had a much easier time although they, too, know they are different. They are known as “generators or antennas.” Their job is to just be and allow their energy to Continued column 2, page 54

"Are You An Auspicious Volunteer?" Continued from page 52 positively affect those around them. These souls tend to live on the fringes, and like the first wave, often do not marry or have children as this would involve incurring karma. All they want is to complete this mission and not have to return to Earth to clear karma. The current wave who are in their teens are often called the Indigos and the younger ones are known as the Crystal children or Children of the Blue Ray. These souls have come with little or no karma, many never having had lifetimes on the Earth before. These are the purest souls, hearts open and often knowing exactly why they have come. These are the humanitarians, the peace makers. They live with “Oneness Consciousness.” They are the geniuses, the vegans, and the scientists bringing high vibrational light technologies and medicines to the planet and holding all life sacred. (Dolores Cannon; The Three Waves of Volunteers and the New Earth) The Earth is a very dark and dense planet and only the most courageous souls have volunteered for this assignment. The efforts of these souls are assisting the people of Earth by educating and LOVING them into a new consciousness.

Picture Your World Without Anger Picture Your World Is In Balance Now Communicate! by Diane J. Ackerman Communication is becoming a lost art. In their quest for resolution, most people seek to get even or feel that they are owed restitution for the wrongs done to them. As a rule, most people seldom see their part in a wrongful situation. Down the rabbit hole they go, diverted from a common sense solution. Like arrogant peacocks they strut offering flagrant opinions, ideas, concepts or imaginings of how they think your life should be. Yes, for a fleeting moment, they may be right, but while they flaunt their opinions as truths that bear only one-sided resolutions, are they creating win-win solutions or win-lose satisfactions? If, for a brief moment, they would set all opinions aside and try walking in the shoes of another they would likely see a completely different picture. People fail to communicate because they don’t really want to! After all, it is so much easier to stay in a comfort zone then to venture past it or through an unfamiliar territory. Imagine what our world would be like if it were not for our forbear adventurers and explorers. We could be experiencing a world made up of bubble people all bouncing around in their own opinions. We may, in fact, be bubble people after all. How often have you encountered the proverbial brick wall in another person? How often have we ourselves been that wall? I have parents who come to me expressing frustration with their children because they just

don’t listen and vice versa only to find that when we separate them their complaints are the same. Neither side feels they have the patience or the time to listen to the other. Unfortunately, this condition is not exclusive to a parent-child relationship. Yeah, it goes right to the top. Look at our governments and our churches. Shouldn’t history be something we learn from and not repeat? We are so busy looking for the trip wires we are not paying attention to the obvious traps in our path.

Diane is author of The Gathering, a book of poems addressing life’s addictions, co-dependencies and obsessions. Her workbook on anger management, Shut the Duck Up, has been used with great success at The Anthony House, a homeless shelter formerly housed in Zellwood, Florida. Please see ad this page.

The next time you have a difference of opinion, try sitting on the other side of the table and just LISTEN! Of course, in order to do that you may have to be SILENT. It is interesting how both words have the same letters. Did you ever wonder why?

Although these crystalline wonders are a rare commodity in the sunshine state, my work as a parapsychologist constantly reminds me that human beings, like snowflakes, are wondrous and unique. Since childhood, Andrea has experienced the shimmering waves of colorful energy which surround all living things. Her aura sight comes as naturally to her as her physical senses, and for years she believed that other children could see them as well. Her playmates' puzzled expressions finally convinced her that her ability was uncommon and considered imaginary by most of the adults around her. Paula had never seen an aura until she attended my psychic development workshops. Her early life was instead a confusing and frightening storm of overwhelming and unfamiliar emotions. Eventually, she realized that these alien emotions she experienced were emanating from family, friends, and even strangers around her. Today Paula has learned to control her empathic ability.

Invoking Intention In Troubling Times BY YOGI AMRIT DESAI

Anyone concerned about social welfare and peace in the world must engage in triggering the transformation of another individual. If we grow together and support each other, the synergy of the group will carry each one of us farther than anyone can hope to achieve alone. Distance is not the problem. Intention brings us together. There is no society that exists without the individual self. The individual self and society are inseparably one. There is dynamic power inherent in dedicated networking for peace and harmony in this troubled world. It rapidly grows, multiplies, and expands the magic of love that turns the world of chaos and conflict into balance, harmony, and unity. Yoga Nidra is about the emergence of the hidden, mysterious power of awareness that settles all stress-producing internal conflicts and restores balance and harmony for healing and transformation to happen spontaneously. To serve the world of humanity you have to serve your individual self. Networking for peace and love to one person at a time is the only way to create a peaceful world. When groups of people join in a common intention, a mysterious power arises that creates profound paradigm shifts in the

The power of intention works exponentially as individuals join together.

We are starting a powerful campaign to spread the message of how to live in harmony with the whole world. When you love one individual, your love makes you whole. When two love unconditionally, the whole moves progressively deeper in love and compassion for humanity. This

Without engaging the power of balanced prana, there is neither peace nor harmony in the heart. If it is not cultivated in your heart, you will never find it anywhere or through anyone. When fear takes over, it motivates you to protect yourself from problems that do not exist. Anxiety is like praying for what you do not want. Anxiety combined with fear takes hold of your energy and turns it against life. Every human is inseparably connected to humanity. When you share teachings that have transformed your life openly and without fear, you become a vital link in healing the whole of humanity. Share every powerful healing and profound shift you have experienced in your life with the people closest to you. Become a vital part of spreading peace, harmony and love to everyone you know.

Detoxification: It’s What the Body Desires

usan has been complaining of not feeling well for months. She’s tired, headachy, has aches and pains that come and go in different parts of her body, and snaps at people more than ever before. Medical lab tests all came back within normal limits yet she knows something is wrong. These are all symptoms of toxic overload.

BY DOCTOR SOLARA ATTATHARYA, DOM, AP, DNBHE NATIONALLY BOARD CERTIFIED, HOMEOPATHY ACUPUNCTURE PHYSICIAN

According to the Environmental Protection Agency, there are over 85,000 chemicals used commercially today. None of them are compatible with our body's chemistry. The body is a magnificent organism designed to deal with stresses and illnesses and return to balance. No matter how old you are, if you cut a finger the body’s defenses will stop the bleeding and form a scab while new tissue is being regenerated. No matter how many toxins you are exposed to, the body will do its best to clean up the mess and stay healthy–that is, until the system gets clogged and can no longer eliminate them efficiently. Our bodies become warehouses of heavy metals and other environmental pollutants for years before problems surface. It stores the accumulation of chemicals in the soft tissues, organs, and bones. At this deeper level we see inflammation, aches and pains, and chronic dis-ease requiring a deep cellular detox. Some toxic overload symptoms may include: • a tendency to develop or catch bacterial, viral or fungal infections, and slow recovery from illness; • dizziness, hives, rashes, inflammation, low-level fever; • obesity, frequent digestive problems such as heartburn, gas, bloating, constipation, diarrhea; • allergies, excess mucus, sensitivities, or food intolerances; • being more fatigued, irritable, hyperactive, moody or listless than usual, depression, anxiety, and an inability to concentrate or remember. Many times, these symptoms are attributed to other health problems and sadly, toxic overload is rarely addressed. Treating symptoms without clearing the root cause palliates the symptoms but never creates health. Go Green not just for the planet, but for yourself. To help the body regenerate healthy cells, minimize toxins on a daily basis by: • eating clean, fresh organic food; avoiding refined sugars and

flours, dairy, saturated fats/oils, GMOs (Genetically Modified Organisms), processed foods and barbecue charred meats; staying hydrated with purified water; • exercising, sweating, and skin brushing; • resting often and getting plenty of sleep; • breathing deeply, de-stressing, praying, meditating and removing toxic thoughts; • reducing toxic personal and household cleaners (aluminum-free baking soda, white vinegar, hydrogen peroxide, and lemon can handle most bathing and cleaning chores); • avoiding smoking, alcohol, microwaves and other EMF’s (electromagnetic fields); turning off lights and unplugging appliances when not in use. Lifestyle changes can help, but if the body’s elimination system is blocked, deeper modalities are needed. Doctor Solara’s “wowie machine” assessed the top stressors of Susan’s body and discovered where her toxins were stored. Homeopathics, the cold laser on acupuncture points, along with detoxification footbaths were used to restore Susan’s energy levels and vibrant health. Like snowflakes we are all different and no one program will work for everyone. With the body scan individuals will know which detoxification program will work best for them before they make the financial investment in products.

Our Lives Are Our Own Pieces of Creation

In The Four Fold Way: Walking the Path of the Warrior, Teacher, Healer, and Visionary,1 author Angeles Arrien expresses the path of authenticity in a way which really speaks to me. She states that authenticity requires full involvement of four aspects of the heart: 1 Published by HarperOne; February 26, 1993; ISBN 9780062500595

Do I bring my whole self to my life? Who or what do I serve? These are questions to ask ourselves as we pursue authenticity, as we seek to express who we are in the most honest, constructive, creative, and positive way. Who we are is our gift to the world. Let’s not withhold it. As each one of us expresses and manifests our truth, the world will heal. Our lives are our own pieces of creation. We are charged with recognizing the Light in these pieces of creation and nurturing it. In sharing this Light, we find true serenity and joy. Rev. Sunemaura O'Brien is a spiritual healer and teacher dedicated to supporting individuals in opening doors to authenticity and joy.

CONSCIOUS EVOLUTION

How're Your Vibes? by Tim Yero

The 70s awakened many unique and pure thoughts. Some were thought of as ‘way out man.” Some of these awakened thoughts are now proven facts. It is amazing that a lot of the seemingly flaky ones were “right on!” Dr. Masaru Emoto recently released his study of water and how water molecules take on different shapes depending on the words and tones spoken to them. After hearing of these studies, along with my plant experience described below, I am totally convinced everything reacts in a similar way. There is no doubt that having a nice day and a nice life is all about how we go about our time and what ‘vibe’ we are in. If we are a grump in a bad situation we add to the grumpiness. If we take action in a positive direction in any situation, we will flourish. In the 70s, I managed a customer service office implementing all the sales (some of them quite messy) of the groups in other offices down the hall. It was task oriented tedious work with little positive reward. We had a small budget for plants (the same as sales groups did) and we all had similar plants and small trees. These were supposed to enhance our working environment in an otherwise quite busy and fairly dismal office setting. The plants in our particular office suffered, often wilting and being replaced, while the sales offices plants were always

lively, green and healthy looking. We made sure we watered ours often and tried our best to keep them pretty. The care we gave the plants was not any different compared to the other offices. We moved the plants to different parts of the office, thinking the air conditioning and window placement for sunlight may be affecting them. Nothing did anything good to make them better. I knew the office vibes were bad all along! The expenses for replacements went higher than the other offices. We had to do something or get rid of the plants all together. We were not about to lose what we thought to be a few nice vibes in our less than positive task oriented office, namely, our plants. After a short while, I decided that the overall attitude of my office really needed to be improved. Our vibrations had to become more positive. I had read something back then that plants feel stuff like happiness, sadness, and the vibes from loud, dark, pleasant or quiet music. I felt this could add positive energy to the room and make our plants happier. Of course, I hid this idea from my co-workers so I did not appear flaky to them!

gave out weekly certificates for good performance--more good vibrations. Not only did this improve the productivity of the office as a whole, it added a better reason to come to work. In spite of the same work at hand, we were a lot happier. The sales office was always a motivating and positive place. People laughed, they joked, and had fun. They worked with each other on common ground and their plants flourished. Originally their environment was a big difference compared to my office. Once these new more positive thinking programs were in place, we laughed more

and the plants flourished. Watch your vibes baby! YOU will do and feel better and everything around you. Right On! Reverend Timothy resides in Homosassa, Florida. He is the Co-Founder of New Age Thinkers, a community group of over 300 positive followers. A Vietnam vet and a 30-year business owner, he holds a B. S. degree from Pepperdine University and was formerly a corporate trainer in sales, marketing, and management. He specializes in writing, teaching positive thinking, and meditation techniques.

the unique gifts that make the earth soft and gentle

U N V E I L I N G O U R S E LV E S

by Christine Garlik There is nothing so beautiful as waking up on a cold winter morning to a foot of fresh fallen snow. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s magical. When the sun begins to rise we can see blue and pink hues and the whole Earth becomes soft and gentle. Everything has a stillness to it. The peacefulness is breathtaking. As children we were delighted that we had a day off from school and with not a care in the world, we ran outside to play in that most wonderful white stuff. We played for hours in the snow building snowpeople, building forts and having snowball fights. Just lying there in the snow making snow angels brought giggles to us. But have we looked at the snow as individual snowflakes? Each snowflake is different. There are no two the same. Each has its own individual pattern, and if just one of those snowflakes was missing from the rest, would the snow be diminished just a little? Would there be just a little less sparkle in the sunlight? We are just like those snowflakes. No two are exactly alike. Each has their own individual uniqueness. If just one was missing from the whole, would our world be just a little dimmer? Not quite as dazzling? Each human being has a pattern all their own, just like the snowflake. Each is a true gift to the world, to the universe. We have the opportunity to bring joy, love, peace, and compassion with us to share with the whole world, and these gifts are the blue and pink hues that make the earth become soft and gentle. Together we can be the foot of fresh fallen snow. Christine Garlik is a Spiritual Life Coach and Spiritual Response Therapy practitioner.

Traditional Chinese Medicine and Your Constitution

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), observing an individual’s constitutional type provides revealing insights into their overall health as well as clues to future health challenges. One's constitution is shaped by many factors and varies dramatically from person to person. Most notably, your basic constitution is conveyed when life begins.

by Dr. David Bibbey, AP, MSOM

Your constitution is an energetic amalgam that possesses the unique strengths and weaknesses acquired from your parents and the many generations from which they came. These and other contributions to your constitution combine and result in shaping how you respond to stressors that affect your mental, physical, and emotional health. Equally important are lifestyle choices you make. These choices have a profound influence on your constitution as you age, both in your favor and against. This also means that your susceptibility to acquiring and resisting many illnesses is largely based on your constitution; you can influence that for better and for worse throughout your lifetime. Moreover, your constitution plays a role in regulating everything from your metabolism to your immune response.

Their tongue usually appears red with a yellowish or no coating. These people are sensitive to and intolerant of high temperatures. Yin (cold type): These individuals have a frail body. They usually feel cold and are sensitive to air conditioners and wind. Their hands and feet are cold. They prefer hot or warm food and beverages.

In TCM, there are five basic types of physical constitutions: Yang, Yin, Phlegm and Damp, Dry, and Neutral. Each has strengths and weaknesses that respond predictably to your internal and external environment. Yang (hot type): These individuals have a sturdy, rugged body. They have red complexions and often feel very hot even

P h l e g m and Damp type: These people prefer sweet food. They experience heaviness in the body, dizziness, and tire easily. They look fatigued and sleepy in daytime, and snore easily. This type also has a low metabolic rate. They tend to become overweight or bloated and retain water. The person may look fine but is drained of energy. The tongue looks moist and swollen with a greasy coating. Such people are very sensitive to damp weather.

Dry type: These individuals are thirsty easily and experience dryness in the eyes, throat, lips and skin. During cold and flu season, they have a cough without phlegm or mucus. Such people tend to be thin lifelong and have difficulty putting on extra weight. Health complaints like itchy, irritated skin, scalp, nose or eyes, as well as constipation are all complications of excess dryness, and insufficient hydration and lubrication in the body. These people are very sensitive to dryer climates with low humidity. Neutral type: These people look healthy with normal skin color. They have proper appetite and sleep and do not feel hot or cold easily. Their urine and stools are normal. The tongue is pale red and moist upon examination. They experience few, if any obvious signs of imbalance.1 It must also be stressed that 99% of physical constitutions are mixed type--for ex1 Dang Yi ( ) M.

ample, Yang with Yin features, Dry with hot features, or excess with deficient features, so identifying a partial constitutional type is insufficient when addressing a health disharmony and truly insufficient when restoring your balance. Most often, successful strategies that address eliminating an excess constitutional feature are supported by reinforcing a constitutional deficiency elsewhere and vice versa. For this and other important reasons, responsible practitioners take ample time to attain your detailed and complete history. This is a mandatory and critical component in identifying your full constitutional type which in turn informs how and why your symptoms are being expressed. This is why treatment options differ greatly in TCM for two people experiencing similar symptoms like headache, nausea or sore throat. When taking into account constitution types, adding heat to Yang types or cold to Yin types might aggravate, worsen, or prolong the symptoms, therefore a constitutional treatment always has a balanced approach that resolves symptoms while meeting specific and individual needs.
