FROM THE EDITOR As I write this, it’s Earth Day. Can you believe Earth Day is 40 years old! Amazing. We’ve come so far since Rachel Carsen’s “Silent Spring”. Yet we still have so far to go. The issues have changed but the consequences are still just as complicated - Genetically Modified Food (GMO), Electro Magnetic Frequencies (EMF), Water - STILL an issue with the record breaking drought in the West and the shocking algae infested waters along Lake Erie’s shores causing major problems for the residents in the Toledo area. We’ve got all sorts of new emerging hi-tech problems, but the root cause is almost always the same - rampant greed. I don’t understand companies that want to alter the food supply, pollute the water supply and stuff the atmosphere with all sorts of energetic weirdness that makes us sick (and sometimes worse!) - my question: if they kill us, who’s going to buy the crap they sell? Maybe they haven’t gotten past today’s bottom line to ask that question. Without consumers, no sales, no sales, no profits. Ah well, one of these days it should maybe dawn on somebody. The shift is happening, and it’s happening very quickly. Those that don’t “get it” are left standing with mouths agape and desperately trying to hold on to things that worked for them in the 70s, 80s, and 90s. People, politicians, religions, governments… It’s a new millennium folks, time to change. Learn about self-care, take responsibility for your reality, learn about energy, learn a new way of thinking about each other and the creator and all that is. Tick, Tick, Tick - the Universe is not going to wait on us to get our act together. It’s change or be changed. Okay, off my soapbox for now! Quick “In Memoriam” for my dear friend Deb Haltuch, who made her transition off this planet one year ago this week. Miss you girl and thanks for the pennies!

Spring Cleaning Your Body By Roseann Zaft
By Roseann Zaft
Spring is the time for new growth and a fresh start. There's nothing more refreshing than clearing out old clutter to make way for fresh new energy for your home and your body too. While detox has become "the buzz” these days, there are still many people have no idea of what it means and just how necessary it is. In this article we uncover the truths about detox. More importantly you will discover just how worthwhile it really is! Imagine if you never cleaned your house. It would get dirty right? On the surface it might look clean but when you peer under rugs and inside cupboards you would find lots of grime, accumulating gradually over the years. It’s pretty much the same with your body. Even if you seem clean and healthy on the outside there can be lots of ‘dirt’ lurking inside which if left can make you sick. Having lots of accumulated toxins and unwanted substances inside will stop your body functioning optimally making illnesses much more likely.
How bad can it be? The body is a magnificent efficient machine. It has a variety of methods to process and remove toxins from our body, but the problem is our modern lives are SO toxic it struggles to cope. We are bombarded with toxins all the time. Some are natural by products of our bodies own processes, but mainly we take in toxins from external sources. As the toxic overload increases our health gets worse. In the past it was infectious diseases which killed people; nowadays it is lifestyle diseases which are the real killers. The food we eat and the chemicals we consume are gradually building up to toxic levels then one day, seemingly out of the blue, you get sick. But most diseases are lurking in the background for many years before we even notice them. Detox is an effective way to restore your immune system and give your body the helping hand it needs to May June 2015 pg 4
stay healthy and happy.
Where do toxins come from? The Global Healing Centre estimate that we come into contact with over 2 million different toxins in every 24 hour period and this is at least twice as much as the body can effectively handle. 200,000 toxins from the Air Even when it seems clean the air is full of toxins, including: Smoke, Dust Mites, Pet Dander, Mold & Mildew, Paint Fumes, Air Fresheners, Cleaning Supplies, Carpet Out-Gassing, Fossil Fuels, Benzene, Chemtrail residues. 150,000 toxins from Water The recycling and chemical treatment of water fills it with chemicals our body does not want, including: Arsenic, Fluoride, Chlorine, Pesticides, Parasites, Bacteria, Prescription Drug Residue, Rocket Fuel (Perchlorate), C8 (the Chemical used to make Teflon®), Bisphenol-A (carcinogenic compound used in making Plastic Bottles). 485,000 toxins from Food and Drink To increase profits and extend shelf-lives processed food is full unwanted additives, preservatives and other chemicals, including: MSG, Pesticides, Hydrogenated Oils, Antibiotics & Hormones, Genetically Modified Foods, Refined Sugars, Artificial Colorings and Artificial Sweeteners. 180,000 toxins from Prescription Drugs In addition to the actual medicine many compounds are also used to deliver the drug, including: Aluminum and Mercury in Vaccines, Spermicides, Liver Toxic Glues, Fillers & Binders, Artificial Colorings, Synthetic Hormones, Synthetic Chemicals, Left-over Animal Parts from Meat Processing Plants (Yuck!) 525,000 toxins from Microbes (Parasites)
Harmful organisms which feed off YOUR nutrients and deposit waste in your body: Bacteria, Yeast, Fungus, Worms, Amoebas and Viruses
cancers and other diseases. When the body has the resources it needs to detox effectively we get far fewer illnesses and disease.
200,000 toxins from Physical & Emotional Stress
Imagine trying to clean your house while having a big party. It would be difficult to get it really clean while all the guests are in the way, dropping crumbs, spilling drinks etc. It’s the same for your body. We take in toxins constantly and don’t give it the break it needs to have a thorough spring clean. Unless that is you do a detox!
When we experience negative emotions and physical stress the body responds with hormones which signal trouble and they change the way the body works. The problem is we never calm down and turn off the stress hormones so are constantly flooded with them. 130,000 toxins from Heavy Metals
What will a detox do for me?
Heavy metals have long been known to be toxic, especially for the brain, but we continue to use them, in things like: Cookware, Deodorant, Cosmetics, Aluminum Cans, Light Bulbs, Vaccines, Mercury Dental Fillings, Household & Auto Paints. They can also often be found in many different fish which have been Chemically-Poisoned due to pollution of the sea, rivers and lakes.
1. It removes toxins from the body by supporting the organs responsible for detox
230,000 toxins from Radiation
4. You will lose weight as you flush out toxins stored in fat
Even minimal exposure can cause cell damage which if the body is unable to repair can lead to serious conditions such as cancer and even death. There are many different sources of radiation, including: X-Rays, Cell phones, Computers, Microwave Cooking, Power Lines, Irradiated Foods, Fluorescent Lighting, and Electromagnetic Radiation
Where do all the toxins go? Your body tries hard to process the toxins, to make them safe, and remove them from the body. The liver is the main organ responsible for the processing and the kidneys and skin are the main organs responsible for removal. But we come into so many toxins the body is also ‘hiding’ them in places like fat cells. Just like sweeping dirt under the rug the body uses fat to hide away toxins, including emotional toxins. This is why when you lose weight it can feel very stressful as toxins are released back into the blood. However, it also means that when you detox the toxins you lose weight too. What bonus, less toxins means you need less fat so the body naturally gets rid! When the body is spending a lot of its time processing all those toxins there isn’t enough time or resources left to do general repairs. This is why a toxic lifestyle leads to
2. It will prevent long term and chronic illness which are the result of the body filling up with toxins 3. It will enhance your immune system and give it time to HEAL you from the inside
5. Slow down premature aging, which is often the result of toxic build up 6. Improve your mood and energy levels as your body works more efficiently 7. Improve your overall health, for example reducing headaches, joint pain and sleep problems 8. Improve the look and feel of your skin as it is also used to move toxins out of the body 9. Make you think more clearly as hazy thoughts can be the result of chemicals affecting the brain 10. Restore your body to a younger, fresher version of you!
How do I detox? There are lots of ways you can detox your body but really it involves 4 components:
Cut out toxins
Supplement your organs
Flush out toxins
Drag out stubborn toxins
This could be as simple as drinking green juices with supMay / June 2015 pg 5
plements for a few days or more extreme 21 days with enemas and more. The intensity of the detox should reflect the toxicity of your lifestyle. If you eat processed food, drink alcohol, smoke or come into contact with smoke, use cosmetics or drink coffee chances are you may need a very thorough spring clean! Fear not! Detox doesn’t have to be difficult but it can be a little confusing if you don’t know where to begin. So, here is my quick and easy guide to detox, just 3 days can have an amazing impact on your body and you can repeat it as often as you like.

Crisis and the Untamed Heart
by Zane Curfman In the modern world, we tend to see moments of crisis as little more then a hindrance in our lives, often misunderstanding these moments as weakness. We sometimes foolishly believe, that if we could just get through life without crisis, all would be perfect. Moments of crisis offer us spontaneous/unscheduled doorways into the mystical experience. They can serve as amazing opportunities for rapid spiritual growth and healing. How we approach these moments is of utmost importance -making all the difference between successfully weathering the storm, or being pulled down by the undertows. In these moments, nothing is decided -it is like arriving at the precipice of a mountain. When we reach the peak, we can be overcome by the dizzying heights, blinded by fear/ reason-scurrying down the first route available, or we can embrace the experience. This gives us a rare opportunity May June 2015 pg 8
to survey the landscape and find the best possible route forward. This embracing takes place in the “heart” the place of power. Noticing and learning to take advantage of a crisis opportunity is not easy, it takes an accumulation of personal power and wisdom. During a crisis, one is brought directly to the crossroads of the heart, where impulse and reason cross with compassion. As we learn to stay centered (not being pulled by the impulse of our will, or the concepts of our intellect) we remain in the place of power. Here, in the heart, we have something meaningful to offer the situation. From this heart based place, we have the compassion needed to illuminate our inner-world. This allows us the opportunity to view our “Shadow” and the “Higher Self”their motivations, and expectations. When first approached, our Shadow and Higher Self seem like opposing entities competing to represent the “self”. Working from
this perspective, we realize all crises are truly spiritual in nature. In this “spiritual crisis”, we are choosing who we are when confronted by power. As we develop the maturity and self-love to accept these two sides of our nature, we discover they are complimentary to each other. They are both needed for wholeness, and to arrive at true self-hood. This process is the taming of the heart. It involves cleansing our receptive instruments: intuition and intellect, of fear and ungrounded ideals/beliefs. We want to see reality exactly as it is -free of sentimentality and wishful thinking. We do this so that our action can come directly from the wholeness of the heart. Like with all other things, crisis is information, or energy. The energy of crisis is qualified as “Hucha”, or heavy. Our souls make it this way on purpose. In this state, the information is really compressed. This is the soul's way of lending “gravity” to the situation. This gravity is meant to make us aware of an area where change is needed in our lives. Re-organizing this information packet, lends us the energy necessary to make these changes. We can learn to see reality as waves of energy, then we develop the clarity to choose which wave to ride into the future. Our goals, as people who have learned to traverse the storm, is to help those going through crisis realize the awesome opportunity at hand. It is often difficult to see in these moments that there is choice. There is a choice that, once made, has the magnetism to influence future events.

Although there isn’t a specific question about feeling adrift, the statement is emotionally charged with sadness and a weary dissatisfaction. It is less that this is completely new to you than it is no longer easy for you to be distracted by the structure and stress from your work. This is very common in this life changing experience. On a spectrum of responses to this change, it can be a temporary low level grief or a new awareness of an underlying physical condition. This is an extensive range to work within to identify your sense of being unanchored. Many times in seeing this, I’m given the image of a world view where the person is having a fine life on the surface where the sun is shining and the flowers are blooming and yet underneath there is a gray river of emptiness or boredom. That emptiness can be ignored when it is filled with children, work or a marriage. When a change like retirement, divorce or children leaving the home removes the distraction the

For example, if you loved to bike-try spinning at the gym or get out on the road with a bike you can love. If playing house was more your style, consider what part of that was most satisfying- the cooking? the redecorating? taking care of the babies? If you were a book reader, find a group that does book study-or better yet start writing for yourself! Use the energy and creativity that you applied to your work life, to expanding parts of yourself that were left undeveloped or hidden.

is for Enneagram By Mary Ellen Derwis
Aetherforce.com
East meets West
A
ccording to Wikipedia: The Enneagram of Personality, or simply the Enneagram (from the Greek words ἐννέα [ennea, meaning "nine"] and γράμμα [gramma, meaning something "written" or "drawn"[1]]), is a model of human personality which is principally understood and taught as a typology of nine interconnected personality types. If you want to be dogmatic about it, the earliest threads are found in the work of Evagrius Ponticus, a Christian mystic who lived in 4th century Alexandria. He categorized various temptations that very closely resemble the 7 deadly sins +/- (gluttony, greed, sloth or laziness, lust, anger, pride and envy). A couple of centuries later Pope Gregory defined them as sins and we have been off to the races ever since. According to Gurdjieff, we humans are in a waking sleep state and to navigate this and become awake he developed a way of blending body mind and spirit to achieve balance as one develops consciousness. To achieve this end he used many methods such as music, sacred dance, writing and interactive exercises with others. He is also the first seeker to make the enneagram figure public. Just for fun visit here: http://www.enneagramtest.net and see what figure you most resemble
Type One is principled, purposeful, self-controlled, and perfectionistic.
Type Two is generous, demonstrative, peoplepleasing, and possessive.
Type Three is adaptable, excelling, driven, and imageconscious.
Type Four is expressive, dramatic, self-absorbed, and temperamental.
Type Five is perceptive, innovative, secretive, and isolated.
Type Six is engaging, responsible, anxious, and suspicious.
Type Seven is spontaneous, versatile, acquisitive, and scattered.
Type Eight is self-confident, decisive, willful, and confrontational.
Type Nine is receptive, reassuring, complacent, and resigned.
You can learn quite a bit online here: http:// www.enneagraminstitute.com/intro.asp#.VTqfdpMVOxU It would take a book to describe the interactions that are possible along this spiritual path. It suffices to say that one strives to move from coarser feelings and reactionary patterns (Obsessive, Compulsive) behaviors into balance and ultimately into a liberated social level that is more productive and satisfying. Ultimately it is as the Buddhist practice suggests. Be present. When one is present one appreciates all that life has to offer and functions at a higher levels. With this comes health. One cannot move along one path without impacting the others. (body, mind & spirit). As you have now realized this is a deep study of one’s self. It takes time and presence and may require some guidance. I suggest you go to the website above and have a go at it. Fascinating stuff indeed.

Spirit
By Roseann Heinrich
On Monday this week, we had the most beautiful day here in and around Cleveland, Ohio. I so enjoyed the warmth and the energy. As I went to bed I heard my thought, “watch out”. I immediately scolded myself and told the angels to erase that thought. Alas, I think it was just my intuition chiming in. After my T’ai chi chih class on Tuesday, it all went downhill. I am in process of getting approved to teach a Silver Sneakers class at one of the centers. Last week they told me I was approved. Then they had the person in charge of the facility where I will teach call me. We scheduled an appointment and I went to meet her. We scheduled classes to start this week. I taught my first class there on Tuesday afternoon. When I came home, I discovered emails saying I was not approved as they needed further information. They also advised me I would not get paid for the class I had just taught. The approving corporation is in Arizona. So, all is done via a website (new to me) and email/scanning. What a nightmare. I spent hours trying to scan three 8x11 sheets that were necessary for my hire. he printer would not scan the full sheet. I tried reducing the size and rescanning. It was the most frustrating scenario I have experienced in a very long time. The scanner just would not do what I needed it to accomplish. I still have no idea what was going on. I was so distraught; I turned off the printer in hopes of rebooting it. Never had this problem before. When I awoke this morning, the angels said to take a picture with my camera and email it. I was excited. Ah, an answer. (Yes, I had been asking for help all along.) I took pictures and talked to Arch Angel Michael about protecting my information and emailed. When I returned from teaching today, the emails arrived saying that this or May June 2015 pg 16
Methinks They Ask TOO Much! that was cut off of this or that form. OMG!! Frustration at a higher degree. I go off and teach T’ai Chi Chih and I come home calm and mellow only to find frustration with another technical problem. Amidst this, I had agreed to write for another ezine. It sounded very interesting and is internationally known. Well, guess what??? All done on line. I have been reading documents for the last several days for both of these things wondering why I have complicated my life with wandering around websites trying to figure things out as I read directions. I must take responsibility for this. I have been asking the Universe to help me stay abreast of the technology as I do not want to grow older like some of my peers and not know how to navigate the world with a cell, ipad, etc, etc. The world is changing rapidly and we all need to keep up. Well, I think I have finally fulfilled the needs of the agency that needs to approve my teaching skill. It matters not that I have been teaching since 2001. They even had an issue with the fact that my credentials do not have an expiration date. Help me Godde!! But, alas, I think we are complete. I also “think” my article for the new magazine is done. But who knows, maybe, maybe not. Then I get the email that this latest issue‘s deadline is “now”. While I contemplate what to write, the air conditioner man comes out to clean the unit and ensure that all is well. When he turns the water on to flush the system, he discovers that the extreme cold of the winter has left us with a busted pipe high in a wall. So, I am asking today, “What am I to learn from all the frustration”. I open my emails to take a break and have a message from my teacher Doreen Virtue. She talks about the ener-
gy we are currently experiencing and how we might feel overwhelmed, like there is not enough time in the day or day in the time. It is all energetic and not about me at all! Sometimes, we are not supposed to learn, we are just supposed to do the things that help us through trying times. I am going to do some T’ai Chi Chih and then I am putting in a video and doing Zumba. Those are the things for me. What gets you through trying times? Do them instead of reaching for the glass of wine or the chocolate cake. Namsate’ I love you all and we are in it together. Remember we really wanted to be here for this shift…a lot of people did not make the cut, but we did….Aren’t we special? - Roseann

SOUND
The Danger of Unheard Sounds Seeing is believing, but a bizarre experiment revealed that people are affected by sound they cannot hear nor see. Scientists working at Liverpool’s Metropolitan Cathedral analyzed the responses of 250 people who heard a 50 minute piano recital and also inaudible vibrations, too low in pitch for them to hear. The audience's emotions intensified as the inaudible sound vibrations were blasted out. Those feeling uncomfortable before the concert got increasingly angry. Their emotion intensified during the piano performance. Others, who were initially happy, got progressively more joyful. Focused concentration on music has a mesmerizing effect, almost hypnotic. The surprising thing is that this is also true for inaudible sound. In experiments, people felt physical affects from the silent blasts: tingling in the back of the neck and a strange feeling in the stomach.[1] This should not come as a surprise as many scientists confirmed harmful effects from unheard or unseen vibrations, such as microwaves and electrical energy. A science experiment conducted by students in Denmark demonstrated that unheard vibrations from cell phones mutilated bean sprouts in a matter of days. Sharry Edwards, who brought forth the science of BioAcoustics, states certain sounds can make us physically ill. It is well documented that sound entrains brainwaves, creating specific states of consciousness, Music makes us feel happy as we dance to a lively beat and feel sad with another song. Clearly vibrations of sound change us. At least within the hearing spectrum, we have a clue as to the impact of sound vibrations because we can hear them. Vibrations, even those unheard, can intensify our emotions – for better or worse. Our brain waves can be deliberately altered with sounds, with a similar result – altering our consciousness. Can we be brainwashed or influenced – without a clue as to what is impacting us? This revives the ancient argument about free will versus
destiny. Do we choose our emotions and thoughts, or do we respond like robots to unseen vibrations? Inaudible vibrations have a strong impact on us – our body, mind and emotions, and we are helpless to avoid the strong influences. Waves in close proximity combine – like it or not. As a consequence of this breaking new knowledge - we should not take people’s emotional responses personally – maybe their behavior is a result of some unheard sound vibrations or influence. Finally, are there “Sound Stalkers?” Are people creating unheard blasts to thin the populations or at least make them ill, depressed or angry? Given all the people creating computer viruses with intent on wreaking havoc… this action would not be hard to conceive of. How many unscrupulous people are blasting us with unheard sounds – what kind of protection do we have? Sound blasts can be used for good – for nutrition, for encouraging positive emotions, to elevating our consciousness and awareness, and more. How about educating people on how we ingest sound? We should monitor unheard vibrations and be warned of their effects. Ultimately, when are we going to take what we listen to seriously? Plotinus of ancient Greece wrote: “Harmonies unheard create the harmonies we hear and wake the soul to the consciousness of beauty.” He suggested that subtle, unheard sounds (such as those coming from nature) are the sounds that influence musicians to create beautiful works of art. Whether or not unheard sounds (from tiny volumes or out of our hearing range) help or hurt us, is not the biggest issue. We are influenced by all kinds of vibrations, without a clue to their influence, which can be significant. It is time to wake up and take control of our vibratory world!
