Can You Accept a Compliment? by Lynne Cardinal â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t take compliments so well. I always hang my head DQG VKXÎ H DQG NLQG RI WU\ WR LPPHGLDWHO\ IRUJHW Âľ Laurie Anderson â&#x20AC;&#x201C; American artist, composer, musician DQG Ă&#x20AC;OP GLUHFWRU

recently realized that when a friend and colleague complimented me, I automatically deferred/switched to a subdued response and continued the conversation, exploring other â&#x20AC;&#x153;more importantâ&#x20AC;? subjects. However, I felt that my friend wanted to tell me more, and despite me feeling it, I navigated the conversation away from it, perhaps experiencing an unadmitted shyness. I noticed it and thought about it afterwards. Can I really receive/accept a compliment? There began a rather profound exploration of what does it take to really allow a compliment to land within? This tendency to not fully receive a compliment is actually common, perhaps more then we know. In my meditations I remembered the compliments given by my colleague and friend and allowed the compliments to sink in deeper. I could see that it was a gift of beauty and love, and that it was wonderful to welcome their full expression. Of course, this isnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t about arrogance, nor superiority. It is about love, light, truth and awareness. Recognizing our goodness or gifts, opening to them, would lead us to greater possibilities, to allow our gifts to manifest even more concretely. It would lead to greater compassion, freedom and love. To understand that we all have gifts, and a beautiful heart, if we allow their expressions, freely, and generously and with that, to continue on our journey of learning.

3HUKDSV LW LV LQ WKH FROOHFWLYH Ă&#x20AC;HOG WKDW LQ RXU VRFLHW\ we may, generally speaking, automatically try to be humble and avoid arrogance at all cost. However, I believe that this belief is not perfect, and that it is limiting. That it ends up preventing our gifts to manifest. When we insist on being smaller, perhaps even afraid of our greatness, we dim our expression, our light, and that is by all means not useful. It is not good for us, nor for anyone else.

Five Star Book Review Ian Prattis Reviewed by Romuald Dzemo for Readers’ Favourite

hattered Earth: Approaching Extinction by Ian Prattis is a compelling prophecy for humanity. In this book, the author gives a strong warning against the threat to which human greed and abuse of the environment have subjected the earth. It is painful to read, EXW WKLV LV QRW ÀFWLRQ 7KH ERRN unveils startling and disturbing facts to illustrate how much damage we have already caused the environment, from the throes of climate change to the evil of militarization, from excessive human greed to acts of violence and war. The author cites concrete examples of how the world is dying by using the experience of Australia with sand storms, volcanic eruptions, and coastal tsunamis, the widespread inundations in Bangladesh, the Netherlands and worldwide coastal regions, rising sea levels and many others.

Shattered Earth is a book with a message that should rouse every human being and make them ask serious questions about what they are doing to save the earth. While the planet is dying and many people are experiencing diseases and starvation, there is noticeable mindlessness that isn›t just shocking but evil. In prose that is beautiful and in a voice that is compelling, Ian Prattis invites readers to think about the fate of the planet and shares stories that are moving and revealing of the actions that are destroying our world. Shattered Earth: Approaching Extinction is a timely book and one that addresses environmental issues with much clarity. This is a book that should be promoted and now is the time to save the earth. http://ianprattis.com/ ShatteredEarth.html Ian has given talks and retreats all over the world. He now stays local to help turn the tide just a little bit in his home city so that good things happen naturally. His books can be found at www.ianprattis.com directing to Amazon, Indigo and Author.

It would be unwise to let our thoughtlessness leave our limitations unexplored. Instead, we can be willing to honestly see our fears and self-deceptions so the truth can be revealed.

Exploring the Akashic Records How the Akashic Records are organized for spiritual healing to occurâ&#x20AC;Ś

he holiday season is a stressful time for many of us and for various individual reasons. Therefore, let us focus on embracing our courage to heal the spiritual wounds for the upcoming New Year through the Akashic Records and with the help from the Light Beings - Servers of the Akasha. During my Akashic Records Consultations, I begin by entering my clients Akashic Records through the Pathway Prayer, along with incorporating the clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s soul vibrational imprint, which is their commonly used full legal name. This Pathway Prayer Process puts us in a position to meet the intermediaries of the light, who are servers of the Akasha. They are the unseen entities HQWUXVWHG ZLWK WKH Ă RZ RI SURFHVVHV DQG LQIRUPDWLRQ within the Records, between the Records and between myself and what I then share with my clients during their Akashic Records Consultation. The language of the spirit world is shared with me through symbols, imagery, colours, numbers, etc., which I receive through my psychic mediumship gifts of clairvoyance, clairsentience and claircognizance. During an Akashic Records Consultation, it is then my job, along with my clientâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s assistance, to decipher this channeled information. There are four areas of the Records, which are managed by four groups of Light Being Servers, (The Lords of the Akashic Records; The Masters; The 7HDFKHUV 7KH /RYHG 2QHV LGHQWLĂ&#x20AC;HG E\ WKHLU LQGLYLGXDO responsibilities and characteristics. Separate from the realm of spirit guides, angels, this dimension is home to unseen assistants, recognizable by their service rather than personal identity.

Each managing group stays within its own area and all ZRUN LV V\QFKURQL]HG WR PDLQWDLQ WKH Ă RZ RI HQHUJ\ and information from the Records to my clients. One gathering of Light Being Servers focuses on the integrity of the Akashic Records, while the other three organize WKHLU HÍżRUWV DURXQG WKH VXFFHVVIXO WUDQVPLVVLRQ RI compassion, wisdom and power to seeking individuals who have the courage and commitment to their own individual spiritual healing. The Lords of the Akashic Records: The Lords of the Akashic Records are not embodied, nor have they ever been. However, they do take personal interest in us, as they are awakeners of our consciousness prompted while in the Records. They facilitate our connection with the Records and reach out to us through soul level impressions. These are the Servers, who determine who gains access to the Akasha and when that will occur. The Lords of the Records do interact with the Masters (one of the subgroups of the %HLQJV RI /LJKW DQG WKH Ă&#x20AC;UVW LQ WKH JURXS RI WKH WKUHH whose attention is on us and our spiritual growth), transferring the treasures of the Records: compassion, wisdom, and energy to the Masters for upliftment, encouragement, healing and spiritual advancement as they work with all of us. Everyone has a group of masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s whom they have an eternal relationship, beginning with the soulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s inception to our universe and continuing throughout all past lives. The Teachers: Teachers may, or may not have lived on the earth plane, but they do not live on the earth plane presently as â&#x20AC;&#x153;Teachersâ&#x20AC;?.

Blissful By Nature: Ayurvedic Principles for Blissed Out Living Unending joy, wisdom and balance all come from within you

Ayurveda is 5,000 year-old mind-body science for natural healing. It uses a combination of principles for diet, self-care and herbalism to prevent disease and to support strong immunity, longevity and vibrant health.

Bliss: the ultimate state of happiness, peace, unconditional love, marvel, inner knowing, and emptiness coming from a sense of being one with all that exists.

2. Bliss Comes Through Daily Discipline Real pleasure is rooted in self-discipline. This may seem counterintuitive if we want to believe that bliss is an irresponsible, laissez-faire kind of happiness, but part of us knows that this is not really true or sustainable! 5HDO EOLVV FRPHV IURP \RXU GDLO\ VHOI HÍżRUWV WR FXOtivate your highest attributes and values (sattva guna). This includes eating well, exercising, cleanliness, proper rest, moderate work habits, thinking well of others and kindness in speech. Daily spiritual practice (or sadhana) including a combination of meditation, breathwork and yoga, is one of the best tools for the activation of your highest attributes and to induce self-generating bliss.

If youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re fortunate, you may have had one or even a few experiences of bliss throughout your life. Most FRPPRQO\ \RXU Ă&#x20AC;UVW H[SHULHQFH RI EOLVV PD\ KDYH FRPH from an external experience such as the birth of a child, a sexual experience, or a sense of awe before nature. Bliss can also be self-generated, meaning that it can be generated by your choices, actions and level of awareness (rather than an external experience). Furthermore, yogic philosophy teaches us that â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;blissâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; or â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;bliss consciousnessâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; can also become your permanent state of being, associated with unity consciousness and self-realization.

3. Bliss Comes From Your Belly. Ayurveda teaches us that good digestion is the foundation for a naturally happy mood. Once we recognize the importance to good digestion in our overall health, we are more likely to start taking better care of it. ,I \RX VXÍżHU IURP GLJHVWLYH LVVXHV GR QRW GHVSDLU Ayurveda provides a variety of helpful tips to improve digestion and to help your body heal from food allergies, acne, anxiety, gas, constipation, ulcers, slow metabolism, and to promote a pleasant relationship with your next meal. Keep reading...

What Does Ayurveda Teach Us About Bliss? Ayurveda1, the sister science of yoga teaches that your emotional well-being -- how happy you feel - is closely tied to the relationship between your body, mind and WKH ZRUOG DURXQG \RX ,W RÍżHUV D YDULHW\ RI VLPSOH QDWural principles to make blissful, conscious living your daily reality. Here are a few 9 basics principles, as taught by ayurveda, to cultivate and enhance blissful living:

4. Bliss Comes From The Balance of the Doshas Ayurveda teaches us that there are 3 mind-body types (or doshas) : vata, pitta and kapha. Each of the doshas KDV D GLÍżHUHQW ZD\ RI FRPPXQLFDWLQJ LWV QHHGV WR XV For example: Đ¨ Vata (air and wind elements) may communicate as fear, anxiety, restlessness and ungrounded thinking; Đ¨ Pitta Ă&#x20AC;UH DQG ZDWHU HOHPHQWV PD\ FRPPXQLcate as anger, control, aggression, impatience and intensity; Đ¨ Kapha (earth and water elements) may communicate as laziness, apathy, depression, greed and a resistance to change.

ne of the things we all have in common is that we want to be happy: to experience pleasure, joy, good KHDOWK IXOĂ&#x20AC;OOPHQW DQG D VHQVH RI SXUSRVH The ultimate state of happiness is known as â&#x20AC;&#x153;blissâ&#x20AC;?, an all-pervading sense of love, peace and well-being with what you are and all that exists. Bliss is the feeling of heaven on Earth, a perfect state of contentment, balance and peace which is undisturbed by any external circumstance.

Recognize Bliss As Your Natural State. Ayurveda teaches that bliss is not something outside that you need to achieve, but your natural state of being when you relax as you are. This may seem hard to believe at times, in an age where stress and anxiety run rampant. However, you will notice that when you take time to relax -- for example, by taking a long walk in the forest or by looking up at the night sky -- your worries and mental conversations subside. A sense of peace, harmony and wonder with life naturally emerges.

Caring for the doshas may include a combination of diet, exercise, herbs, natural therapies and self-care. The more balanced your doshas are, the easier it is to reside in your natural state of peace, happiness and equanimity.

5. Bliss Comes from Ojas (Glow or Vitality). Ayurveda also recognizes that bliss comes from a subtle substance called ojas, commonly recognizable as the healthy glow of someone who is truly happy. Ojas is the subtle essence of kapha dosha, the by-product of healthy digestion and living a life that you love. Ojas grant strong immunity, resilience to stress and natural fertility. Some of the best ways to cultivate ojas is through daily spiritual practice (sadhana), good digesWLYH KDELWV DQG VHDVRQDO GHWR[LĂ&#x20AC;FDWLRQ panchakarma). 6. Bliss Comes From An Alignment With What You Love. One of the fastest ways to experience bliss is to follow your inner inspiration and explore the things that you feel most passionate or curious about. This may include arts, yoga, spirituality, travel, politics, writing, inspirational reading, a special project or hobby. Most of the time, aligning with what you love doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t mean that you need to quit your day job, but that you just take a small step toward what you know is right. The path of the heart may feel uncomfortable at times, and may not always make sense to the logical part of you, but following its call is one of the fastest and most sincere ways to connect to inner wisdom and joy. 7. Bliss Comes When You Donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t Need to Be Happy All the Time. The blissful state actually comes most easily when you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t try to be happy all the time, or to avoid any painful life lesson or experiences. Often, it is through our friction and challenges that we learn our greatest lessons, including patience, compassion, integrity and surrender. Itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s also helpful to understand that bliss does not actually come from your emotions, but from a deeper recognition of what you are and what youâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re connected to. 8. Bliss Comes From Good Company. Your mind naturally copies the mental and emotional patterns of those you surround yourself with, emulatLQJ \RXU LQĂ XHQFH RI KLJKHVW IUHTXHQF\ Try to surround yourself with those interested in cultivating wisdom, compassion and higher values. Here, satsang (or the company of the wise or a realized teacher) is one of the greatest blessings and most purifying LQĂ XHQFHV Time spent alone, in silence or in nature can also help to clear the mind of unnecessary thought patterns and connect you to spirit. As much as possible, try to avoid conversations based in gossip, fear and negativity.

However, you actually donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to do anything to realize your natural state. You donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need 20 years of spiritual practice and you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t need to be a taller, shorter, healthier, happier, more accomplished or more loveable version of yourself. Your mind will give you all kinds of reasons why you canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t be in bliss, but the truth is that it can come at any time, at any age, in the midst of any experience or your worst mistake. Bliss comes from the simple recognition of your everpresent goodness and the goodness of life as revealed through your smile, your courage, your kindness, and \RXU VLQFHUH GDLO\ HÍżRUWV WRZDUG WUXWK ORYH DQG IUHHdom.
