Differentiating trauma and injury

A

bigail Szathmary and Tom Tomlinson are a husband and wife team that through some 80+ tears of collective experience have come to devise a methodology of treatment called TraumaPractik.

Simply put when a person comes to us suffering pain and trauma, our endeauvour is to help that person understand what has happened to them. We use a deep understanding of anatomy as a beginning point and draw on any number of modalities (gait and movement analysis, myofascial, osteopathic, neuromuscular, somatoemotional techniques) in order to resolve pain and trauma.

The body, and especially the fascia, represents an information matrix that is in continuous flux. In health, communication at all levels is optimal. However, if a person should sustain an injury, the pain would be debilitating and, most likely, obvious. The resolution would represent a return to optimal function, i.e. “good health”. Unfortunately the world is not always such a simple place and this is where we discover that the human being can (and does) displace shock and injury into a deeper place, resulting in trauma.

In TramaPractik, we have come to look at “trauma” in a very particular way, i.e., “injury is to the body as trauma is to the psyche”. In other words, one person might sustain even a severe injury and not suffer ongoing trauma while another might sustain no physical injury yet sustain a huge trauma (such as witnessing a devastating event). The point is that how the person becomes traumatised is not something formulaic. Abigail and Tom have learnt through their years of practice that the physical body is the place to begin as it is the repository of all experience.

At the request of numerous colleagues and patients we have created five workshops entitled ‘Anatomy of Trauma” in order to share our methods and philosophies. Do come and participate. All that is truly required is an open mind and boundless curiosity.

April/May 2015

MODULE 1: The Core

May 15 – 17, 2015

INJURY is to the BODY as TRAUMA is to the PSYCHE

ANATOMY of TRAUMA© is a series of five three and four day “hands-

on” workshops based on the methodologies and philosophies of

TraumaPractik© developed and taught by Abigail Szathmary and Tom Tomlinson.

All of our experiences, the good, the bad and the bland are inculcated in this wonderful “earthsuit” of ours. Thus trauma may resurface, sometimes years later, as a pain, an anxiety, a behaviour or any number of problems created by our methods of compensation. In the Anatomy of Trauma workshops we always start with the body, for this allows us to begin unravelling pain, injury and/or trauma. The five modules are selfstanding and can be taken independently. However, we fell it necessary that Module 1:The Core, be a prerequisite for Modules 4 and 5. All are designed for the professional but also those with an inquisitive mind and a willingness to learn are welcome.

Module 1 emphasizes thinking outside the box and viewing the body as much more than the sum of its parts. The question “What am I really looking at?” is key in assessing each individual and devising the appropriate treatments. The whole person, their history, posture, culture, gait, environment, work, family and beliefs are all important considerations in uncovering to source of pain. The substance of this course covers all aspects of trauma and injury, how they differ and their effect on the body/mind/continuum.

You will learn effective techniques to treat: • Postural and gait distortions  Back pain • Shin splints and runners knee  S.I. joint problems • TMJ problems  Breathing problems • Sequellae of MVAs such as whiplash and seat belt injuries Using systemic evaluation, observation, listening, palpating, gait/movement analysis and dynamic anatomy, participants will gain new insight within the sphere of trauma and injury as well as an understanding of how to restore homeostasis.

The course includes a detailed illustrated manual, an excellent reference toolbox. Come, participate and enjoy.

As was mentioned previously, we are in constant relationship with the people we meet. Knowingly or not, our actions, the words we use and even the tone we choose, affect the people we meet, directly or otherwise.

Often we can sense a person’s pain or predicaments, but our superficial mind takes over and we then react from a more superficial level. We lose touch with our deeper, wiser instincts. In a way, when we meet people, we automatically share our states of mind and history, even unknowingly. But are we paying attention? Practicing Transparent Communication helps us to deepen our perspective. As a general rule, I focus on the fact that everyone has a story to tell. This helps me to have more compassion and to interact from a different level.

During hypnosis sessions, the first part of the session is based on setting objectives. When my clients wish to improve their relationships, either with their children or partners, we work on developing the ability to gently look, listen and feel. Then a deeper more satisfying communication can occur and relationships can improve. However, to do so we need to slow down a little and pay attention.

We are also in constant relationship with the physical world. When we look more closely at our environment we realise that we can prevent extra pollution through simple actions and even by very small choices we make.

It truly all adds up. For example I am very concerned

We can use hypnosis to help us live with greater awareness, care and compassion. This capacity already exists within us, we only need to access it and bring it forth in our daily life. We normally tend to react more or less automatically and often draw conclusions that may be inaccurate. When we slow down, we can learn to look with eyes of kindness, feel with an open heart, and sense with our intuitive mind, learning to trust it. It is a wonderful way to live, we have such a great potential! In my personal experience and with my clients, hypnosis makes it all so much easier.

Fool Proof Weight Loss Written by Alexis Nicol

D

oes anyone get under your skin? Really stirring up the emotions? I have a couple of people that tend to get me feeling out of sorts. They always say that everyone is a reflection of something about us. Now that really bugs me especially when it is something that I don’t like about what they are saying or doing. And with a heavy sigh I know that I am about to figure out why.

There is someone I know that knows everything or at least tries to tell everyone that they know it all, they always have an answer that is the right one or so they think. Whenever I hear them speak this way I just want to either tell them to get over themselves or just scream (inwardly of course). Either way it gets me heated up and brings something up in me that I don’t like. Like all things I have a hard time figuring out, it weighs upon my mind. When I delved a little deeper searching the feelings and emotions I was shocked to see myself in their reflection. I sensed that this person lacks confidence; spewing off things they’ve either read or seen, trying to make themselves appear “smarter” maybe because they don’t feel comfortable with their own soul. Perhaps afraid of being judged as something or someone that wasn’t good enough.

The heaviness and guilt I’ve felt for blaming them for making me feel less of a person and thinking that they were just another know-it-all telling me and everyone they met practically that we are basically stupid was like an anvil being hammered upon my heart. When I realized that it was me that was lacking in confidence and me that was afraid of being judged, I began to cry. I released a lot of pent up anger, frustration, embarrassment and pride that had been building up since childhood. It was so cathartic, a total feeling of relief and such a blessing. I was surprised and humbled at the realization.

It was only by being brave enough to be brutally honest with myself that I was able to feel a huge weight lifted. The process of eating a piece of humble pie (actually I think this time I ate the whole thing) was the most delicious and rewarding dessert ever.

It’s someone that has the courage to swallow their pride in order to reap the bountiful rewards. This insight is a gift not only to me but to those around me as well.

I’m enjoying every bite of this rich humble pie not to mention the weight loss. I wonder if I’ll ever get enough.

Using Your Feelings for Guidance

A

re you ruled by intense feelings that seem out of your control? Although emotions may seem to arise out of nowhere, they are in actual fact just feedback in response to our thoughts. They are like road signs pointing us toward what we want in life.

Emotional feedback can either be positive or negative, depending on several factors. Everyone loves positive feelings, so there is little need to work with those.

Instead, we are going to focus upon negative feelings in this article. When you know how to use negative feelings to your advantage, a whole new world of happiness and success will appear to you.

What is the Source?

If you are currently experiencing a negative emotion… ask yourself what the cause is. What were you just thinking about? Now ask yourself why that thought is creating a negative emotion.

Your negative emotion is merely telling you that something is wrong or out of balance. It is similar to putting your hand on a hot stove. Your hand hurts to prompt you to move it. This protects you from suffering further harm. That negative sensation tells you that something needs to be remedied so you can feel better again.

Frequently, when you encounter negative emotions, you will find that you are doing something that is not in alignment with your values or goals. Alternatively, you may be experiencing fear that you will soon need to act in this way.

A Call to Action Now that you have some idea what is causing your negative emotion, what do you do with it? The best possible use of feedback is to take action.

Do you feel lonely? Then make some plans to get out and spend some time with friends. Are you experiencing stress about money? Make a budget, reduce your bills, or devise a plan to earn more.

If you are not sure how to remedy your negative emotions, just imagine taking a particular action and see how your feelings change. As you imagine various actions, pick the one that feels most in alignment with your values and desires.

Achieving Your Goals Want a great tool for predicting if you’ll reach a goal?

Start by imagining achieving the goal. Then think about everything it would likely take to get there. How does it feel? The thought of making $5,000 next month sounds great, but how do you feel when you really think about it? Are the emotions and thoughts all positive? If so, you’ll probably do it.

8

This thought probably causes you some discomfort, though, or you would be well on your way to that $5,000 goal already.

See if some of these thoughts are preceding your uncomfortable emotions: How would I ever do it?

What would I do with the money?

I will probably have to do something illegal or immoral.

I will definitely have to do something I don’t want to do.

What will my friends think?

If you are not filled with a sense of enthusiasm, you are probably thinking something negative about the idea of making $10,000 next month. And with thoughts like this, you are very unlikely to be successful. On the other hand, if you can eliminate these thoughts and feelings with appropriate action, you’re much more likely to accomplish whatever you put your mind to.

Unpleasant though our negative emotions may be, they’re truly a gift. They let us know when we are getting off track, and provide constant feedback from our subconscious. Learn to utilize your feelings effectively, and you will have a huge advantage in anything you do.

Are You Discerning with Higher Sensory Perception?

by Amâeil (Melinda Urban RIHR) Healing with Divine heart to awaken the deep truth within.

O

ne of the most beneficial qualities of the Divine Human is the power of discernment through our higher sentience: our experiences of our senses or perceptions through our energy intelligence, often called intuition. Unfortunately, this has been usurped by the negative alien agenda (NAA) to maintain their control over humanity – what we cannot clarify, we cannot change or see past, and therefore, we remain disempowered. There is a vast difference between discerning our own choices and realities with higher consciousness, and going into analysis about them with the lower ego mind, which is highly manipulated as well as indiscriminate. Our hearts, our higher sensory perceptions, and neutrality of consciousness are essential for accurate inner guidance, and making our way in the world where truth is mixed with darkness and deception.

The most important component of higher sensory perception is the higher feeling center of the body. HSP can only become enabled when our hearts are open and loving, and we have the ability to feel empathically, because there first has to be a connection to the 4th chakra of the soul body. As we grow on our spiritual path and intend to expand our consciousness, we increase our energy, our frequency, our intelligence, and the integration of our multi-dimensional bodies, and assimilate new sensory abilities beyond linear thinking, to perceive more wholistically and truly connect in oneness with all that is life. HSP expands as we ascend, and activate and embody the higher mind: the soul matrix (chakras 4-6) in conjunction with the monad (chakras 7-9) that begins to bring our Christ consciousness energy into full flow. The latter is not currently activated for the majority.

Difficulty with HSP can stem from a variety of influences, but it is important to acknowledge that our higher intelligence, which is natural to the Divine human, has been distorted for a long-time. This is first visible in the lower chakras. Our unconscious mind (chakra 1), is responsible for the autonomic functioning of our five base senses, bodily functions and central nervous system, but it is also a database record of undiscerned memories and information. It can feed the subconscious mind/lower emotional body/pain body/

instinctual body (chakra 2) with unresolved pain, and press up impulses of anxiety and desires for coping.

The conscious mind (chakra 3), the third layer of the ego personality, can place value judgments of good or bad on these trigger thoughts of desires and fantasies, and link them with self-identity, falsely believing that this is who we are. If undisciplined, it will find ways to justify its need for control of these wants, stir anxiety due to lack of control, establish addictive patterns from the need for immediate gratification, attach to things or people, and simply put, perpetuate fear energy. Fear in the mind cannot co-exist with our higher senses.

Only love expands our energy consciousness into the higher/Christ mind. So it’s clear then that the ego personality (1-3D) does not serve to guide us with clarity. It’s easy to see how cellular memories of torture, abuse, victimization, and trauma, through past, present and future timelines, have interfered with our natural abilities by creating closed or blackened hearts, soul fragmentation and damaged genetics, if we’ve been unaware of how to manage the mind and have given it authority in our lives. This is what the NAA have intended and perpetuated. So, instinct is not the same as intuition, and while the unconscious mind informs, it’s wise not to allow the ego to rule our lives. Therefore, we intend to expand our energy/consciousness, increase our self-awareness, and do our important inner work and emotional healing to clear out the lower densities of our emotional and mental conflicts, and open the heart.

And, we practise observing, discerning, accepting and neutralizing what arises from the lower mind.

We also have disruptions to the higher dimensional bodies of the soul and monad. The pituitary gland …

Celebrate Your Life

Rev. Sherry Harris, MSW, RSW. Psycho-spiritual counsellor, coach, teacher and healer

I

have found the best way to celebrate life is to live in the moment and live simply. This may sound easy, but it is far from it. When I am living in the moment, I see, feel, experience only what is happening now. I do not think about what has happened in the past or worry about what the future might bring. I am free to simply be present with what is happening now. I can just be, taking in whatever shows up in the moment. This is like being in my child state--the free child who delights in every breath, every experience, every sight, sound and colour. This is the experience of the child who existed before we started naming things and making everything mental. This free child is our God Within. It is who we are at our very core of Being. It is our essence and it has never been lost to us.

It does, however, become buried in the muck of conditioning and unconditional love. This is what we grow up with. This is the programming passed on to us by our parents from their parents, etc. What we grow up with becomes who we are until we wake up enough to recognize our barriers, realize the programmed and conditioned thoughts and reactions are not who we are, has nothing to do with who we are. That conditioning is simply a detriment to our knowing our true selves.

And as we are all learning now from so many different teachers: who we are is Love. Love is the fundamental building block of the Universe. Every micro speck of our Being is Love. We have simply forgotten who we are. We don’t have to recreate it, all we have to do is uncover it, peel off the layers of societal and parental conditioning and negative programming about how unlovable and inadequate we are.

We have a deep long for something not expressed in the material world. We long for intimacy; with ourselves, with others. We think that we will find this connection when we find someone outside our self to love and partner with. The truth is the connection we are all seeking lies within us, it is to the God Within, which I also believe is the Divine Child. Intuitively we know there is something greater than what we see and experience around us. We long to feel free, fully alive, connected to the grandness we innately suspect we are. That grandness is our God Within and the path to the God Within lies in the Inner Child work. When we release all we have taken on in childhood, believing it to be true, we find beneath it, beauty, joy, grace-unimaginable aliveness. We can all do this. We can let go of the programming that we came into, delivered by unaware but loving parents, schools, churches and society in general, We can return to the Love, the original essence, that we are. That Love lies in the heart of the child within us. We can find it. It is there waiting

We find out what our personal barriers to love are by recognizing where we are stuck in our adult communication and relationships, where we are unable to experience vulnerability and intimacy. We are split.

Our adult, conscious, mental self knows right from wrong--knows what to do, how to make decisions based on prior learning. It is our harshest critic and our greatest mentor, all rolled into one. Our subconscious is our emotional, childlike self who reacts to all that makes her/him feel unlovable, unworthy, shamed, not good enough. It is our emotional operating system and our Divine Guidance system as well. The Divine Child also has the ability to experience beauty, grace, unbounded joy. By healing the child within we become light, free and spontaneous again just as we were when we were young and could play without worry about the do’s and have-to’s of life- just play, no responsibility or worry.

This part of you has never left. It is there waiting to be released. When you reclaim this part of yourself, you will not lose the ability to take care of things, you will simply have the balancing ability to play with abandon.

It you want to open up your awareness, your heart and your knowing, clear the way by lovingly healing your hurting little child. I guarantee you, if you stick to it and if you commit to the work, the results will astound you. Lightness, freedom and joy await you when you make your way home to your Essence, your Divine Child, your God connection.

Transform Family Relationships

By Master Lynda Chaplin any people have relationship challenges with their children, grandchildren, parents, stepparents, grandparents, siblings, and more. The root cause of these challenges is karma. For example, if your child does not respect you, very often this is because in a previous life you were the child, your child was your parent, and you did not respect him or her.

There are many karmic relationship issues like this between family members. If you have relationship challenges with one or more of your family members, ask a highly developed spiritual being to do a spiritual reading with the Akashic Records. I cannot say 100 percent of the time, but almost always there is a past life reason for your current relationship challenges. The root cause, negative karma in your relationship, could have occurred in several past lifetimes.

It is vital to understand this wisdom. After you understand this wisdom, you will be more forgiving of your family members’ mistakes toward you. You will ask for forgiveness for your mistakes toward them.

You will learn and sincerely practice self-clearing your relationship karma in order to transform relationship challenges with your family members.

Everyone and everything has a soul, including

M

relationships between family members. You can apply soul healing to transform every aspect of life, including relationships. The one-sentence secret of relationships is: “Transform the soul of a relationship first; then transformation of the relationship will follow.”

– Dr. and Master Sha If you have challenges with your family members, it is not difficult to understand that there is a spiritual reason. That spiritual reason is negative karma in your relationships from previous lives. Even so, you have the power to transform your relationships.

The golden key to transform relationships is unconditional love and forgiveness. Love melts all blockages. Forgiveness brings inner peace and inner joy. Doing a regular forgiveness practice is key to selfclearing negative karma and removing blockages in every aspect of life, including relationships.

Let’s say, for example, you have relationship challenges with your mother. Forgiveness is two-sided.

You need to forgive your mother and your mother also needs to forgive you. This is how you would do a forgiveness practice with your mother: Dear soul of _______ (your mother’s name), I love and appreciate you.

Please forgive all of the mistakes I have made against you in this lifetime and in all of our past lifetimes together.

Change your Life with ThetaHealing®

By Patty Chevalier Samm

A

re there challenges in your life that you want to change, be it a physical ailment, an emotional stress, a relationship issue, financial difficulties or a negative tendency toward life? Is there something in your life that you really want but no matter how hard you try to get it, you just cannot seem to receive or achieve it?

These challenges are indications of the beliefs and thoughts that your subconscious is holding. The key is to be able to look beyond your challenges to identify and reprogram these subconscious beliefs and, thus, create a new way of experiencing life.

The way to do just this is through a powerful and profound technique called ThetaHealing®.

ThetaHealing® addresses your subconscious beliefs and thoughts and enables you to identify your deepest root beliefs that are not supporting what you consciously desire in your life. These subconscious beliefs influence your reactions, your behaviours and the people and situations you attract into your life. These root beliefs may be a fear, past trauma, regret, resentment, a genetic belief or an old belief from childhood that was once protecting you. Once these root beliefs are identified, using meditation, your natural intuition and Source energy, the beliefs are cleared and reprogrammed with a belief that supports you. Your issue will be gone and you will experience life in a new way. It is that simple and that profound.

I have been practicing this modality for 10 years and have seen and experienced many changes in all areas of life using this technique.

One client I worked with was a young man who was on a downhill spiral. He was drinking heavily, was depressed and felt stuck. After just one session, he

stopped drinking, began writing and set out to make writing his career. He no longer felt stuck or depressed.

A woman I worked with recently, had contracted bronchitis every winter since she was a child. She felt a shift during her first session but it wasn’t until this winter that she knew what that meant. She did not get bronchitis at all this winter or a cold of any kind.

Personally, I use ThetaHealing® every day. I used it to physically heal a Morton’s Neuroma (swollen nerve) in my foot that kept me from walking more than 20 minutes without pain. One of my children, at a young age, would push me away and I felt a strain between us. After releasing trauma from my pregnancy with him, that strain has disappeared and his interactions with me have become very loving and inclusive. I use ThetaHealing® to release stress when I feel overwhelmed. I use it with my children to heal their physical and emotional pain.

After experiencing ThetaHealing®, you will feel lighter and you will notice a change within you. To learn to do ThetaHealing® for yourself is magical as you can use it in so many ways to help yourself, your family, friends and animals. Anyone can learn this technique. No experience or special talents are required, only an open-mind and a willingness to learn.

Respect vs. Anger in Mediation

A

s I approach my 36th year of working as a full time family mediator, I’ve been thinking a lot about my initial mediation training and how I have come to think differently over the years about some of those early teachings.

In 1979 when I took my initial training (in the U.S. as there weren’t yet any mediation training programs in Canada) one of the fundamental practices I was taught was to deliver an opening statement to clients about the necessity of being civil with each other, and speaking respectfully to each other, in order to arrive at a reasonable resolution of their dispute. I was taught that the mediator should set ground rules that promoted civility and politeness during mediation sessions. Only one person talks at a time, we were taught to instruct our clients, and all discussions should be in a calm tone of voice.

Over the years, however, I realized that mediation isn’t a polite tea party. If the process doesn’t let people be real, talk in real ways, argue in real ways about real problems, it simply won’t work. Any “settlement” that comes out of the polite tea party school of mediation simply won’t last.

Other experienced mediators have come to feel the same way. In his book Beyond Neutrality, American mediator Bernie Mayer writes about the disservice we do our clients when we exhort them to treat each other with respect. While this is a noble goal for the mediation process, Mayer says, the problem arises when we often equate respect with not showing anger. “In the name of showing respect, we may fail to honor and allow space for the deep anger that people in conflict often experience…How can we tell a couple embroiled in a bitter divorce that they should evidence respect for each other?”

Another U.S. mediator, Ken Cloke, author of Mediating Dangerously, feels the same way. He says that mediators need to consider not only how to stop people from fighting destructively, but actually how to improve the way they fight. Mediators need to support constructive ways of fighting, he says.

We often think of mediation as a process where the mediator acts as a kind of referee who stops people from fighting. But I think this is totally unrealistic and not even desirable. Fighting can be a way of discovering the real obstacle in the way of settlement. It can be a way of stripping off masks and connecting at a deeper level, says Cloke. He says mediators therefore need to not only permit fighting, but need to actually encourage it.

Over the years clients have told me that one of the benefits for them of mediation is that they were able to fully express how they felt about their issues in a way that is not possible in other processes like lawyer-

Roche 33 Somerset Street West, Ottawa, ON K2P 0H3 email: evitar@sympatico.ca

613.237.7335 to-lawyer negotiation or court. The mediation process is particularly useful in “allowing” couples a safe, structured environment in which to fully express all their fears, concerns, expectations, disappointments and, yes, their anger. It is only when a couple has been able to do this completely with each other that they can begin to move forward, perhaps in a more respectful way, and craft a fair settlement that will work for them and their children over the long term.

Evita Roche was Canada’s first full-time lawyer-mediator.

Since 1979, she has helped over 5,000 couples mediate the issues arising from their separation. In the 1990’s Evita was a Professor of family law and mediation at the University of Ottawa law school, where she received the first Excellence in Teaching Award. Her private practice is restricted to separation and divorce mediation, and she frequently delivers seminars on subjects related to family law.

Green Smoothies Can Cause Severe Joint, Muscle or Kidney Pain

Judy Spence, ND(QC), RN, R.Ac., CHt xalic acid is a colourless, organic compound that occurs naturally in plants, animals and in humans.

It is made by the human body from other substances such as vitamin C. It can also be ingested from food and readily combines with calcium and magnesium. Our bodies convert many of the things we consume into oxalates. Oxalic acid is the most acidic organic acid of our body fluids. Organic oxalic acid is an important – even essential – element to stimulate and maintain the peristaltic motion in our bodies, so it is not all bad.

Typically, recipes for green smoothies call for two cups of packed raw spinach leaves as their base and regularly add a variety of berries or almonds which all contain high amounts of oxalates. The most common “green” component of green smoothies are spinach, kale, Swiss chard, and arugula.

Susceptible people who are following this trend and are regularly consuming green smoothies or large spinach salads are experiencing increased rates of kidney stones, joint and muscle pain and, fibromyalgia. High oxalate foods may interfere with both growth and bone formation. Foods especially high in oxalates include leafy vegetables like arugula, kale, swiss chard, spinach, beets, chocolate, soy, peanuts, wheat bran, tea, cashews, pecans, almonds, berries. http://www.upmc. com/patients-visitors/education/nutrition/pages/lowoxalate-diet.aspx There are two types of genetic hyperoxalurias (type I and type II) which output significant levels of oxalates in

O

16

the urine. Even those who do not have a genetic oxalate condition often suffer from oxalates. Oxalic acid binds with heavy metals (mercury, aluminum, etc.) which get deposited into tissues like arteries, thyroid, eyes, etc.

High oxalate levels in urine and plasma were first indentified in people with kidney stones. Most kidney stones are composed of calcium oxalate. Stones can range in size from the diameter of a grain of rice to the width of a golf ball. If oxalic acid levels are high in the blood being filtered by the kidney, it may combine with calcium (stones) and other metals, including heavy metals like lead and mercury to form crystals right in the kidney and block urine flow, damage the kidney and cause severe pain. Oxalate crystals also form in bones, skin, joints, eyes, thyroid gland, blood vessels, lungs and even the brain. Oxalate crystals in bone crowd out bone marrow cells leading to anemia and, compromise the immune system. Oxalates can play a role in stroke, atherosclerosis and in endothelial cell dysfunction. High amounts of oxalates have been found concentrated in atherosclerotic lesions of aortas and coronary arteries.

Despite having no oxalate deposits in their kidneys, some people suffer serious oxalate deposits elsewhere as their thyroid glands or testis. In addition to those with autism and kidney disease, individuals with fibromyalgia and vulvar pain (vulvodynia) may also be suffering from excessive oxalate deposits.

When calcium and/or magnesium are too low in the diet, oxalic acid remains soluble in the liquid portion of the contents of the intestine and is easily absorbed from the gut into the bloodstream. Taking calcium citrate plus magnesium citrate with each meal binds oxalates. They are removed in the stool. Cal-mag citrate needs to be in the digestive tract during the meal for maximum effect.

Oxalate crystals physically damage tissues due to their sharp physical structure, causing inflammation and pain. Oxalates combine with toxic metals, mercury, lead, etc. and precipitate into tissues causing additional damage because they retain heavy metals in the body preventing their being detoxified.

Yeasts/fungi in the body themselves cause increased oxalate levels. Adequate levels of Vitamin B6 in the body stop the yeasts’ oxalate forming process. Diets low in sugar and high in multi-strain probiotics help control yeast growth. Herbals like Goldenseal root, Cat’s Claw, P’au d’Arco, Samento, MCT oil, etc. have beneficial ant-fungal effect. Many benefit from following antiCandida diets periodically in order to control their yeasts. Chondroitin sulfate helps prevent the formation of calcium oxalate crystals as well.

Gastritis & Acupuncture

By Steve Ryu, R.TCMP, R.Ac

G

astritis is an umbrella term for a group of conditions that all share a common symptom of inflammation of the stomach lining. Gastritis can be chronic or acute, and for most people it is not serious and resolves quickly with treatment. Symptoms include a gnawing or burning pain or ache in the upper abdomen that may be either worse or better with eating, nausea, vomiting, loss of appetite, belching, bloating, a feeling of fullness in the upper abdomen after eating, and weight loss.

Acute gastritis happens suddenly and is more likely to cause nausea and burning pain or discomfort in the upper abdomen. Chronic gastritis develops gradually and symptoms are usually a dull pain and a feeling of fullness or a loss of appetite after a small amount of food. In many people, chronic gastritis may cause no symptoms at all. In rare, severe cases, gastritis may cause stomach bleeding- requiring prompt medical care.

Gastritis is a result of the stomach’s protective layer becoming weak or damaged. The stomach has a mucuslined barrier that protects it from the acids that help digest food. Weakness in the barrier exposes the stomach lining to damage and inflammation from digestive juices. This can result from a bacterial infection, regular use of pain relief medications, severe stress, alcohol intake, bile reflux disease (when bile flows up into the stomach), an auto-immune dysfunction, or it can be a result of different conditions or diseases. Treatment may involve addressing the underlying problem, such as stopping the use of substances which lead to gastritis or taking antibiotics if it is due to a bacterial infection, or taking medications to reduce or neutralize stomach acid.

In Chinese medicine (TCM), gastritis conditions are classified as stomach pain, which includes both gastritis and ulcers. Gastritis is a loose term that can apply to so many different conditions, and Chinese medicine does not rely on Western diagnosis for treatment, but rather looks closely at the specific symptoms experienced, in order to determine the specific causes for each person.

From a TCM perspective, gastritis can be caused by a number of different factors. Acute gastritis can be caused by the abdomen being exposed to cold temperatures or damp conditions, which can cause a blockage in the qi-energy of the stomach and intestines.

Diet is of course a major factor. Eating too little or too much food, eating too much cold food, hot-spicy food, sugar and sweets, or greasy, fried, or dairy foods can damage the function of the stomach. Irregular eating habits such as eating too fast or on the go, eating late in the evening or at night, eating while stressed or emotionally upset, skipping breakfast, eating while performing other activities, or eating irregular amounts

of food from day to day may also be factors. Emotional upset such as anger, frustration, resentment, worry and stress can lead to stomach problems, as can overwork and physical over-exertion. And finally, our inherited constitution may mean for some people a weakness in the stomach, which makes it prone to disorders such as gastritis.

Because of the accuracy in diagnosis, acupuncture and Chinese medicine can yield excellent results in the treatment of gastritis and promote healing of the stomach lining. Acupuncture can also help with many of the symptoms of gastritis including nausea, pain, and vomiting, and can help to reduce stress and improve overall digestive functioning. Combined with lifestyle and dietary changes, it can be an effective treatment option for resolving gastritis, strengthening a weak digestive system, and preventing future stomach disorders from occurring.

Are You or Your Child Suffering From Exam Nerves?

By Dr Luke

M

any of us will be able to recall how nerve-racking it can be to take an exam. Butterflies in our stomach, sweaty palms, a racing heart and panicking that we won’t be able to remember anything we’ve learnt are all common feelings before an exam. Feeling nervous is a natural emotion and for lots of people these feelings actually help to motivate them and focus their minds.

However if these feelings become intense they can threaten an individual’s performance and even cause them to achieve below their true potential.

Who gets exam nerves?

Exam nerves can affect anyone, no matter how clever they are or how much they’ve prepared. There is a great emphasis in today’s society to use exams to measure an individual’s ability (e.g. for certain jobs, to drive a car etc.) and the pressure of this can be overwhelming.

Nerves can become out of control and cause anxiety attacks and stress, creating a vicious circle leading to more intense nerves. This can have a negative impact on our unconscious mind and lead to more general, longer term performance based anxiety.

Preparing for an exam and successfully completing it is not just about how knowledgeable an individual is, but

also about their state of mind. Feeling calm, relaxed, focused and confident when studying and sitting the exam means an individual will be much more likely to achieve their full potential. Accessing this state of mind is a skill and can often be learned by implementing new ways of thinking using different techniques.

Symptoms of exam nerves • feeling sick • sweaty palms • butterflies • insomnia • loss of appetite • depression • stress • anxiety • trembling • bad tempered.

Treatment for exam nerves Hypnotherapy is a common method used for helping to control exam nerves. The power of suggestion and visualisation techniques can encourage an individual to clear their racing mind and approach the exam with a cool, calm state of mind. If an individual is anxious, their mind may not be able to focus. However, controlling this anxiety often leads to increased concentration levels, allowing the knowledge to be accessed with more ease.

The Basics Of The Feeling Brain

By Marlene and Bob Neufeld ur nervous system has been evolving for 600 million years. Our current brain structure was developed in response to survival problems faced by ancient reptiles, mammals, and primates. To survive and pass on their genes, our ancestors needed to be especially aware of dangers, losses, and conflicts.

Therefore, the brain evolved a negativity bias that looks for threats, reacts intensely to them and quickly stores these experiences in neural structure. We routinely overestimate threats and underestimate opportunities and resources. At the same time, negative experiences sensitize the brain to the negative, making it easier to have even more negative experiences in a vicious circle.

While the negativity bias is good for survival in harsh conditions, it’s not useful for quality of life, fulfilling relationships, personal growth and long-term health. It makes us over-learn from bad experiences and under-learn from good ones.

The brain is made up of two main parts: the limbic system (i.e. the emotional brain) and the cortex (i.e. the thinking brain). The emotional brain is much more primitive in terms of development but is much faster to respond to stimulus than the thinking brain. Research has shown that it takes only 1/200th of a second for the emotional brain to respond.

A small but key component of the emotional brain is the amygdala. Its only job is to scan for threat and if it perceives threat to notify the rest of the brain that it should prepare for problems. It registers all emotions, but prefers to notice the scary threatening ones. It’s like

a smoke detector for your body and brain. It doesn’t respond to the yummy lasagna baking in the oven, but if the lasagna starts to burn - it will sound the alarm!

You don’t have to be alert to joy in order to survive, but if you are threatened, you want your amygdala working to keep you alive. Once your amygdala learns what is dangerous, it tries to protect you from whatever scared you.

This is how triggers are born. Anytime you avoid or over-react to your fears, it lets your amygdala know that your fear is accurate and there is danger, which makes the trigger worse.

In our work, we use the analogy of a rider trying to control a wild elephant.

• The cortex can be compared to the rider who “thinks” he controls the wild elephant.

• The limbic system can be compared to a wild elephant who is prone to being out of control.

• The amygdala is the red hot prod that pokes the wild elephant into overreaction when it seems that survival is at stake.

When the amygdala perceives danger or threat it “triggers” the elephant. The elephant begins to rampage. The rider tries to control the elephant but it is out of control.

Many people try to solve problems or have conversations when their wild elephant is rampaging.

We recommend that you learn to calm your wild elephant down before you try to solve the problem.

Elephants with understanding riders are quite useful.

A Celebration of Spring

by Gillian Pearlstone pring (or the Vernal Equinox) is not only a Season, it is a feeling. It is palpable. We feel the throb of life beginning to awaken in us after the long hibernation that Mother Nature has given us; the gift of renewal, replenishment and new beginnings.

There are two equinoxes every year – in March and September – when the Sun shines directly on the equator. On the equinox, night and day are almost the same length – 12 hours – all over the world.

This is the reason it’s called an “equinox”, derived from the Latin, meaning “equal night”. However, in reality equinoxes don’t have exactly 12 hours of daylight. This year, 2015, it was celebrated on Friday, March 20, 2015 at 6:45 PM EDT .

There is more than one way for us to experience ‘new beginnings’. There is the New Moon every month where we begin again to harness new ideas, new life changing experiences, new ways of thinking and leaving behind our old thought patterns that do not work for us any good any more. But with the advent of Spring, that is a renewal far beyond anything else.

Some animals hibernate over the Winter to give their bodies and minds a rest after the flurry of activity of preparing for the next year scurrying around collecting food to stave in caches. They awaken when the sun is beginning to warm the earth so that the plants germinate getting ready for their new year of growth. These caches are there so these animals don’t have to worry about flowers and insects not being around for their bodies to replenish their sources of fat that they need to survive.

In the early days of humanity, the human animal who was in touch with the Earth’s cycles, would have taken all this into consideration and rested mind, body and soul while they were replenished for the work about to be experienced in the Spring. Planting seed for food to feed their families; cleaning out the stale air by opening up doors and letting in the fresh air and sweeping out dust and mites and cleansing everything to get rid of the dirt in the households of the people.

The Vernal Equinox brings the promise of renewal, growth and abundance in this year’s coming harvest.

Planting to the lunar calendar and offering prayers to the gods for a bounteous harvest and their animals be prolific and healthy.

Most humans are constantly working towards growth, renewal and expression of all we have learned. It is in humankind’s nature

to always be seeking to grow in every area of our lives.

The Spring equinox has long been celebrated as a time of rebirth in the Northern Hemisphere and many cultures celebrate spring festivals and holidays around the March equinox, such as Easter and Passover.

Today, we see a secular culture celebrating the spring equinox, whilst religious culture celebrates the resurrection. However, early Christianity made a pragmatic acceptance of ancient pagan practices, most of which we enjoy today at Easter.

The general symbolic story of the death of the son (sun) on a cross (the constellation of the Southern Cross) and his rebirth, overcoming the powers of darkness, was a well worn story in the ancient world. There were plenty of parallel, rival resurrected saviors too.

Many religious historians and liberal theologians believe that the death and resurrection legends were first associated with Attis, many centuries before the birth of Jesus. Others suggest that many of the events in Jesus’ life that were recorded in the gospels were lifted from the life of Krishna, the second person of the Hindu Trinity, or were taken from the life of Horus, an Egyptian god. Modern-day Christians generally regard the Attis and Horus legends as being Pagan myths of little value with no connection to Jesus. They regard Jesus’ death and resurrection account as being true, and unrelated to the earlier tradition.

Whatever our beliefs, this time of year is a time to celebrate rebirth and renewal. It is a time to embrace and grow into the true expression of who we are.

Whatever you choose to celebrate this time of year, include yourself into this celebration, and may your true expression spring forth.

May the Force Be With You

by Richard Albert

Y

our Force of Attention is among your most useful capacities. Regrettably, if you are like most other humans, your force of attention is being underused.

Your force of attention emanates from your mind.

Your mind is not merely your brain. Your mind is the storehouse of all your thoughts, feelings and sensations. Your mind moreover is the source of your inspiration and your aspirations. Your aspirations underpin what you wish for.

Where and how you direct your force of attention plays a huge part in outcomes that shape your life. You direct your force of attention continuously.

You can do so both consciously and unconsciously.

Directed consciously, your force of attention is likely to influence outcomes beneficial to you and to others.

Directed unconsciously, outcomes will depend upon conditioning you have acquired unconsciously.

Directing your force of attention for the benefit of yourself and others can be consciously trained. One key to successful training is to proceed in incremental steps.

Another is to start with your own body, something both tangible and relatively simple. Next, choose a particular aspect of your body that you wish to improve. Then, decide how you will consciously direct your force of attention to what you wish to improve.

Free Talk and Demonstration of the classic Alexander Technique

Sunday, April 12, 2:30pm, McNabb community Centre 180 Percy St, just north of Gladstone

Richard Albert 613-315-5730 alextech@magma.ca www.alexalbert.ca insurance covered The Alexander Technique begins with assisting you in directing your force of attention to how you use your body. The term ‘how you use your body’ means how you move and how you are at rest. It refers to your degree of ‘poise’, that is to say ‘the appropriate amount of effort in any activity’. Less tension and pain, better health and co-ordination, are the natural benefits.

Having assisted you in improving your poise, The Alexander Technique can help you realize your other more complex aspirations.

As a certified teacher of The Alexander Technique, my job is to guide you in how to use your force of attention to achieve what you wish for. How to use your force of attention is something that needs to be demonstrated, not merely explained. Therefore, I have arranged to give a series of 3 demonstrations. All are free of charge.

Everyone is welcome to attend. If possible, I would appreciate your sending me an email at alextech@ magma.ca letting me know about your intention to join us. For the location, date and time of the demonstration, please see the ad adjacent.

Why You Should Balance Your World Against All This Emf Pollution 1.

3.

A

Less stress Sleep better Less brain fog

s we head toward another Spring & Summer with more Smart Meters on our hydro and water, EMF pollution and smart fires from the meters. Ask your hydro company is this system safe for us and our families (their answer: no effect on us) The lies and the cover up is being felt all over the country. They pulled all the smart meters out of Saskatchewan because of the fire hazards. BC is fighting for the removal of smart meters. Home owners are feeling sick when at home. When out in the country they feel better.

Testing of this system was never done to see if it would effect all of us. When we had the old analog meters they never broke down or caught fire, a meter

person had to read them. Because they are digital the smart meters are sending signals hundreds a time each and every day 24-7. On the end of townhouse they have 4 to 6 meters on your walls. Remember that all smart meters broadcast frequencies for over two miles.

Any new appliance in your home from stoves to fridges, coffee makers, microwave ovens are all equipped with smart technology. Don’t forget your smart phone that you keep on you all the time, from the morning, noon and all night long as you use it for your alarm.

I remember the TV Program called Get Smart.

That was very funny. This technology is called Death By Smart Meter.

Invisible waves of pollution surround us more and more every day, at home work and play.

Because our bodies are 75 to 80 percent water, we pick up all these vibrations everywhere we go. Hot spots, where we get our morning coffee, riding on the buses with everybody on their smart phones (like being inside a microwave oven) to and from work. In and out of national parks and in all of our vehicles. Our children at school all equipped with tablets with Wi-Fi. This is why we must protect ourselves and our children and our planet from all of this EMF fog.

We have developed a emf balance system that Peter Webb has worked on for over 30 years to where it is helping more people everyday so that they can survive in all of this ongoing pollution.

We have EMF BALANCERS for your home, work, auto and cell phones. Our balancers balance your body not your equipment, when your body is balanced you can function at a higher energy level. Two balancers for most homes or businesses (depends on size of property), 1 balancer for your car, plus products for your body. Energy balls (with pixie dust), ADR Disc (cell phone, tablets), Gold Energy Cards & Plates.

What’s Right About You ACCESS CONSCIOUSNESS Empowering People To Know That They Know You’re Not Getting?

H

ow often do you look at everything that’s right about you? If you’re like most of us, that would be about infrequently to never! Looking at what’s right about us is not something that we’re generally encouraged to look at or ask!

It’s not odd to even hear things like: “I only criticize you so you know what you need to improve”. Or what about: “Rise and shine, a new day dawns offering you new opportunities to better yourself.” The idea seems to be that by focusing on what’s wrong, we will be motivated to do “better” and be a “better” person.

How well does that work? When someone points out your “faults”, does that create a desire to excel (where you will be more of a target), or to retreat and even give up? Many churches and spiritual groups also focus on “sins” or how “unbalanced” you are. Schools tend to label students as “bad” if they don’t follow the school rules and come up with appropriate answers. All of these examples are of course no wrong, or exhaustive, however they do have a common element – that of judgment! It’s someone else’s idea of how you should be and where you’re “not good enough”!

When we buy the idea that we should focus on what’s wrong with us, it sets up a pattern of always looking at the negative and discounting the positive. This creates such a distorted picture of ourselves that it is difficult to even begin to create the life we desire, for many people decide that they are not worthy or deserving of a better life.

What if you acknowledged yourself for what was right about you? What if, every morning and evening you asked yourself, ‘What’s right about me that I’m not getting?’

What kind of change might that create?

By only looking at what’s “wrong” with us, how easy is it for us to be the gift we are to the universe and world? Not much since wrongness is not synonymous with being someone that’s valued or a gift in any way. If reading this sends you into a spiral along the lines of, “But I’m not a gift – there’s way too much wrong with me!” What if that wasn’t true? What if all of that judgment you have of yourself is hiding the very unique being that you are? What if you were willing to let him or her out of hiding?

40

Have you always known there was more? Is there some issue you’d love to be done with forever?

Have you always known you were different?

This is your invitation to discover just how much more there really is!

Darshan with Mother Meera

by Leela Sivsammye t is exactly three months before Mother Meera is coming to give Darshan. I had volunteered for this innocently, not knowing anything about a Darshan or Mother Meera.

Intuitively, I knew that I had to book the Best facility. I scoured and phoned every imaginable venue and finally I found the best venue, The Theatre at the University. Upon enquiring the date, I was told that that date was booked every year for the past three years and it would not be available. In this dilemma, what do you do but book the second best venue?

So imagine my shock, when calling to give payment I was told that the space had been booked by someone else.

Reeling with turmoil of emotions, all I could think is that Mother Meera is coming; I have hundreds of registered guests looking forward to this event and no venue.

After a restless night, upon awakening I recall this vivid dream…..I am in this beautiful place with blue covered chairs and people are sitting all around the stage. In my dream state, I wonder how are people sitting all around the stage. Then the thought arises, I have not met Mother Meera before, “How will I know who she is?” Floating along a long corridor, I turn and immediately I am face to face with no other than Mother Meera as instant recognition replaces all doubts who She is.

Upon full consciousness, I regard this dream as an omen.

Prophetic and pondering upon the significance, the thought arises to call the University theatre, again.

A few hours later, I called the theatre, and miraculously, the same date is now available. Incredulously, I book the venue sight unseen.

Mother Meera is an enlightenened being from India who is described as an incarnation of the Divine Mother. She is on a mission of consciousness. Her purpose is to open people into the divine light and help them surrender to this light with their heart, mind and soul. She is not interested in conversations, as it has no meaning, nor is she is interested in followers and often says, “If you can, pray to the Supreme directly, you do not need an intermediary.”​ On the day of Darshan, arriving at the Theatre; it is just like in my dream. There is a round stage and people can sit all around. All fears, doubts, anxiousness subsides upon meeting Mother for the first time. She is so simple and her gaze and smiles exudes only love.

The day after the Darshan, I was quite agitated about one of my children. I felt like a runaway freight train of emotions and could feel no peace. Mother Meera listened and just held my hands as I spieled all my thoughts, feelings and frustrations.

Slowly, I felt this energy pulsing through from my hands into my body. I became silent and conscious of every thought as the energy increased in intensity.

Suddenly, my eyelids flickered backwards, as I experienced a deep meditative state while staying conscious at the same time. A space where there is no time, only the awareness of being one with all that is.

In that state all is resolved and I opened my eyes to the world of illusion with no pain or grief, only a feeling of acceptance, of peace and knowing that I was touched by the divine and I felt humbly thankful.

Mother Meera explained “In silence one can receive more. I give exactly what is needed to each person. God is silent. Everything comes out of silence.”

“In silence more work can be done. The true experience of bliss is without words. Darshan is the bestowal of Love, Light and Grace, a gift to humanity.” I was struck with the thought; this is what it is like to live with someone who has no ego. She is simplicity herself, in thought, word and actions. From moment to moment her presence exudes only love.

Mother Meera will be traveling in Eastern Canada this Spring 2015

Starting in Quebec City on April 14, then to Montreal, on April 15th and Ste Adele April 16th.

Then onto Ottawa, April 17th, Toronto April 18th and Port Colborne, April 19, 2015 If you are interested in receiving darshan, please go to the website and register. http://MotherMeeraDarshancanada.com You must preregister to reserve your seat

PATHWORK: What Is This False Self We So Often Show To The World?

I

n Pathwork teachings it is called the Idealised SelfImage, and it arises from the secret conviction, “If you really knew me, you wouldn’t like me – (because deep down, I don’t like myself)” The Idealised Self Image begins to develop in early childhood when, in order to have the love and approval of our parents, it is vital to be a “good girl/boy”, to behave in certain ways, or be successful at certain things. Being called “bad” or being disapproved of feels like forfeiting our parent’s love. This is most painful for the child, who learns and puts in place quite quickly the qualities and behaviours that are required to gain love and approval, and circumvent unhappiness and pain. In time, as we grow up, this whole construct becomes unconscious, and continues to govern our adult behaviour.

The sad thing is that this countermeasure simply doesn’t work; it demands that we always be good and perfect (in whatever way we have figured out is needed). This can give us some measure of happiness and self-confidence as long as we are successful. But we are of course imperfect and so must inevitably fail

to live up to the constant demands of our idealised, false self - and we then fall into shame, guilt, fear and other such painful feelings. Furthermore, because the purpose of the Idealised Self-Image is to cover up human faults and foibles, we live with an uneasy feeling of dishonesty and fear of being “found out”.

Qi Gong Helped Me to Recover after 11 days in a Coma

By Phuong N.

Medical crisis I was diagnosed with heart failure in 2007. I had to take medication every day and see my doctor every 6 months. My health seemed alright but in December 2011 while on my way to Toronto, I felt chest pain and a shortness of breath. When I returned to Ottawa that night, I felt tired and went to bed early. Just before my husband went to sleep, he tried to talk to me, but I didn’t respond so he turned on the light and saw that I was foaming at the mouth. He called 9-1-1, and then both my husband and son started CPR. Within 10 minutes the ambulance was at my house. The attendants managed to restart my heart and took me to the hospital. I was in a coma and in critical condition as my brain had been deprived of oxygen for the half hour while my heart had stopped working.

The doctors feared that even if I did wake up, I would be paralyzed or mentally disabled. They did many tests on my brain function, but there was no response up to the 9th day. They wanted to remove the breathing tube in my mouth and other life support systems because they feared my brain was completely damaged. Fortunately, my family requested that they hold off for a few more days.

Recovery Qi Gong Master Philip Lai and his wife came to the hospital to treat me every day while I was there. They sent Qi energy to my brain and heart and worked on certain acupressure points to rejuvenate those areas.

They also did acupressure and Chinese massage that helped to improve my blood circulation and opened up the energy paths that connected my organs to other parts of the body. As a result, my brain and body were strengthened by the healing Qi, my self-healing ability and immune system was restored, and my body and mind slowly improved. Finally, I regained consciousness after 11 days in a coma. Then Master Lai showed me how to use breathing techniques and visualize guiding energy with the intention to connect my mind and body.

After receiving the continuing help from Master Lai, his wife and the hospital’s medical services for 38 days, I recovered completely and am now in good condition. I think it was a miracle and feel very blessed. It was hard for us to explain how I could recover from near death without any loss of memory or paralyzing effects. My husband and I thought that it must be the combination of western and eastern medicine that helped me to recover and I am very thankful to both systems for bringing me back my life.

Local and Global

I

have been musing about this topic, particularly reflecting on the annual Ottawa Friends for Peace Day – now in its 13th year. I realized 15 years ago, when I founded Friends for Peace as the engaged arm of Pine Gate, that I was making a conscious choice to focus my energy and work on the local, my home city of Ottawa. My focus was on mindfulness in schools, city environment, youth at risk and other local causes.

On reflection I am astonished by the results – more true to say “blown away.” For at the local level there was continuity with great folk who helped make things happen. There is now a two week Peace Festival in Ottawa that precedes the Friends for Peace Day – which is now the final bookend of the Festival. It has all grown in ever increasing concentric circles. All use some form of the Friends for Peace mandate – peace, planetary care and social justice.

The foundation of mindfulness at Pine Gate trickles through the 50 some organizations we partner with. All spontaneously brought about – no intention to do so.

At the same time I realize why I have resisted the pull and lure to go global. There are folks who do this very well, some are good and some not so much – yet I decided to stay local so that deep powerful roots were put down that could well serve as a global example for other localities. I offered a gracious decline to the many opportunities to travel and teach globally, as I felt that was not the arena that would make the difference I wished to see. There have been people from many cities around Canada and the world who accessed the Guidelines on the website www.friendsforpeace.ca Of course the local and global inter-are, yet for me there was a conscious decision to place my energy at the local level, knowing full well that it would trickle through to the global. There is certainly a global aspect to our activities in terms of the projects actively supported elsewhere. Each year Friends for Peace presents Peace Awards to Canadian citizens who have devoted their lives to securing peace, planetary care and social justice. That’s our mandate. Past recipients include Grandfather William Commanda, Michael Monner and Tone Magazine, Marion Dewar, Max Keeping, David Smith, Irwin Cotler, Elizabeth May, Douglas Cardinal, Bruce Cockburn, Maha Rath Sam, Jack Layton and many others since our first Celebrate Peace Day in 2003.

The funds raised from the day are used to issue Peace Grants to organizations, in Ottawa and internationally, that are making a real difference. Current projects in the city supported by Friends for Peace are the MultiFaith Housing Initiative of Ottawa’s Interfaith Council, the Dave Smith Youth Treatment Centre, Child Haven International, and Peace Camp Ottawa, which brings Palestinian and Israeli teens together. This is in addition

In Africa, the Nelson Mandela Children’s Foundation, the Congo Education and Schools project plus the Morungatuny Resettlement Program in Northern Uganda are also supported.

In India a school, orphanage and medical centre was supported at the Ram Yoga Centre north of New Delhi. The major planetary care project was the campaign to make the Dumoine River watershed a protected conservation park. Friends for Peace also co-operates with other groups in Ottawa for the annual Ottawa River clean-up.

In particular we have supported youth organizations to burst on to the local scene. For instance Orkidstra – www.leadingnotefoundation.org - established in September 2007 gives children from under-served communities the opportunity to learn a musical instrument and sing in a choir. They are creating a quiet social revolution in the city. The Dandelion Dance Company – www.hannahbeach.com/dandelion - an Ottawa based youth dance theatre company explores social issues through movement. Their repertoire is driven by the experiences, reflections and passion of young women who range in age from ages 13 to 19, and include children’s rights, hunger, authenticity, bullying, stereotypes and inclusiveness. Both youth organizations perform regularly at the Friends for Peace Day. The drive is to foster a strong cadre of people in the locality of Ottawa who make a difference. I talked about this when introducing the film “Fierce Light” to Pine Gate Mindfulness Community. The film is pretty good but somewhat lacking in that it does not make clear that activism without spiritual depth and mindfulness soon runs out of steam. The activists burn out and become overwhelmed. The place to develop such depth of mindfulness is the local community and the continuity of inter-connecting with our partners across the city. And then noticing the many changes and transformation.

I remember the sage Krishnamurti – a true globalist – being in tears in San Francisco when he realized that his audience for the nth time were still asking the same questions – not having moved an inch from where they were the first time he spoke to them.

COMMITMENT!

By Daniel Roy CD, BA, MA, CFP, EPC, CIM, FCSI, CIWM, CRC ver since I can remember, I’ve always been fascinated by the extraordinary things that high performance athletes manage to do in whatever sport that they engage in. I was at a fundraising event at Mt. Tremblant recently and had the chance to chat with Brian Stemmle who had spent 14 years on the Canadian Alpine Ski Team. Although retired from that sport since July 1999, he still has that burning passion inside of him to succeed.

During our discussion, I asked him what does it take for athletes like you to make it down the hill at such crazy speeds. Commitment was his answer. He said that even before you launch yourself down that hill, you must be committed to using all of your training, your physical and mental abilities to get yourself to the bottom. There are no half-measures permitted here or else you crash.

How often have you said “yes” to doing something but only put in a 50% effort into accomplishing that task? I have and the outcome has not always been optimal. One of my teachers, T. Harv Eker continually reminded us that “how you do something is how you do everything”. I learned this phrase a number of years ago and I have brought it into my consciousness to varying degrees of success. I will continually catch myself thinking of Eker’s phrase especially when I have to do something that I don’t particularly want to do.

How you apply this concept of commitment, that is, deciding to do that task with a 100% effort (or not) will have an impact on all aspects of your life. You see, the simple habit of committing to doing your best at getting that task done, any task, will determine the outcomes of all the other things that you do. How can you consciously commit to doing one task at 100% and only commit a 50% effort at doing something else? There is a mismatch here.

I find it fascinating when clients come in all depressed about their finances and they ask me to help them sort out this aspect of their lives. In many cases, their lack of financial resources is due to their failure in committing 100% to achieving their stated goals and objectives. They know where they want to go but have not yet committed fully to getting that job done. They know deep down why they are failing financially and my job is simply to point it out to them. How easy is it to get distracted by all of the shiny objects around us? I know because I fall victim to these shiny objects as well and they succeed in taking us away from our goals and objectives.

In the world of financial planning, you are able to measure your progress by looking at quantifiable benchmarks. For example, you can measure your Net Worth once a year and see if it is improving. In my experience, without committing 100% to that task, things will stay as they are and nothing will change for you. Commitment means attaching a date to that goal as in these examples:

“I want to retire by ________.”

In all of my years of helping people with their finances, I can assure you that the way to financial success is relatively simple. You need to have a goal in mind, set a date for accomplishing it and then committing 100% to getting it done. You need to have that burning desire inside of you to achieving your goal by such and such a date. No date, no positive results.

When you have a chance, take a moment to watch high performance athletes go through their routines.

They make it all look so easy don’t they! If you apply that same level of commitment to any goal that you have, you will start to see some amazing results manifest all around you. Achieving your goals will become a reality for you! Commitment is the key!

Colour Your Zen

A

ccidentally finding a book on mandalas, I fell in love with colouring again. Their mystery, power and magic still captivates me to this day.

Mandalas have helped me heal from times of great pain, brought peace in my life, and imprinted beauty in my heart.

Twelve 12 years ago, I was in the last devastatingly painful stages of a love relationship. One grey afternoon I found myself in a bookstore looking for inspiration.

I found a cool colour book, but not just any colouring book; a colouring book for grown-ups!!

It was filled with simple geometric shapes, hearts, flowers, swirls and twirls all enclosed in circles, all as beautiful and simple as the other. It felt like finding a long lost treasure.

I just started colouring in the shapes intuitively.

It wasn’t long before I started noticing how much peace and relief I felt when looking at these beautiful shapes and colours. One day in particular I noticed my entire body shedding something, almost like an immense sigh, the same kind of feeling that a good long yawn has on you.

Surely, if you colour them, mandalas will have their own unique effect and magic on you. Remarks I hear in my mandala workshops are “I just love doing that, it brought me back to my childhood” or “That was so peaceful” or “My mind was so quiet, I just enjoyed colouring in the lines and seeing different shapes emerge”. Invariably, a peace of mind settles in.

Mandalas are a symbolic illustration reminding us of our relationship to infinity, extending beyond, at infinite micro and macro scales, within our bodies, minds and imagination.

This April I will be offering workshop for you to colour and design your own power mandala. Using a variety of simple techniques and exercises we will work with weekly themes to discover our individual reference points of power, inspiration and hope. Music and visualizations will be incorporated throughout our explorations. These workshops are about selfdiscovery through a unique artistic medium and, as such, they focus on the process rather than the product.

No previous art experience is needed. All art supplies are included.

A one day mandala course will also be offered at SpiritArt Studio on Saturday May 2nd.

Free mandalas to colour, including the sacred geometry “Flower of Life”, can be found on www.coCreations.ca.

For a free meditation experience incorporating beautiful mandala collections set to music please visit YouTube Louise Lalande coCreations.

Louise is committed help others express their full potential by providing lighthearted mindful workshops and tools that retrieve innate wisdom and creativity. She is an artist, designer, Artist’s Way facilitator, coach and reiki practitioner.

Healing with Soul-portraits

If you could see the beauty and perfection of your Soul, what would that look like?

If you could capture those virtues and aspects of yourself that you too easily dismiss or undervalue, what would they look like?

Could this new vision of you bring about healing?

An awakening?

From infancy, we are taught to be more than what we are, when in fact, we already are so much more than we can possibly imagine. We are Love, beauty, goodness, power, joy, harmony... but when we look in the mirror, we are more likely to see our supposed defects (what we don’t like) than our virtues. All too often, our innate beauty and perfection go unnoticed.

In a Soul-portrait, you will physically see your marvelous essence. A Soul-portrait invites you to raise your perspective of who you think you are, and to appreciate your life and purpose in a way that is authentic and conscious. With it, you more easily align with your greatest treasure: the God that resides within.

My paintings and other artistic creations have always dealt with the theme of the Soul’s journey towards understanding, towards mastery, and its process of evolution and transformation into Light and Love. When preparing to do these personalized Soulportraits, I meditate, opening myself up to inspiration. I try to connect with the Higher Self, that part of you that has lived other lives in this, or parallel, dimensions and that, from its more expanded and loving perspective, is always ready to guide you in your life adventure.

I try to see with the eyes of my heart, of my soul, to capture this energy and perceive the images and vibrations that wish to be conveyed through me at this moment to the human personality that embodies them.

The Soul-portrait that emerges does not claim to be THE definitive and only view of your immense and eternal dimension. It may not even necessarily physically look like you. Some portraits may be more abstract, others more realistic. Some may represent several virtues of the soul, while others only those virtues that that most seek to be expressed at this moment. Our Soul is so much grander than any one work of art could ever express.

Soul-portraits are available in different sizes.

5 Ways We Give Our Power Away

W

e all want to be liked, admired, accepted, approved of and loved and so often we feel that we have to sacrifice our own sense of self-worth or personal power.

Here are five ways in which we tend to give our power away.

Responsibility

by Gina Pilon Feel empowered, liberated, and self-confident by embarking on a journey of personal responsibility and discovering fourteen key essentials for living a life of freedom.

Local Author responsiblyhealthy.ca/responsibility-book

Not setting healthy boundaries At some point in time we need to learn what our boundaries are in life. These boundaries include the way we allow people to treat us, the type of people we spend time with, the activities we participate in and whether or not they are in alignment with our values. Far too often we allow people to treat us in ways that are disrespectful, unkind and truly harmful to our self-esteem. We go to events or places that do not bring us joy and deplete our precious life force, and we do things that are not congruent with the person we are striving to be or become.

Taking things personally This lesson is a tough one for many to grasp, assimilate and quite literally get their hearts and minds around.

What another person does or says is about that person. It comes from the filters they have put on the world based on their personal life story. We are just an innocent (or not so innocent) bystander, caught in the trigger of their unresolved issues, traumas, disappointments, and low self-worth. Often, these people are projecting what they need to heal in their lives onto us. So it really is not personal.

Blaming others Like it or not, when we do something, say something, or behave in a certain way we made the choice to do so—whether consciously or subconsciously. Blaming someone else for our behavior and choices in life is nothing less than giving our personal power away and serving it up on a silver platter. Taking responsibility for ourselves; our actions, reactions, and life is far more powerful than blaming.

Approval seeking On a soul level, deep down hidden beneath the tip of the iceberg, we all know the only approval worth seeking is our own. Yet, we have been brought up in a society that

breeds needing the approval of others to determine our self-worth. So we do things, buy things, wear things, and say things all at our own personal expense, be it our reputation, our finances, our boundaries as noted above, and our values.

Gossiping I have to admit gossiping about others is becoming one of my least favorite things to do and when I am the recipient of it or participant in it I can feel my energy draining immediately. Gossiping about other people’s lives serves no one, neither them nor us.

See your life as a garden. Focus on your own weeds and increase your personal power, focus on other peoples weeds and you decrease it. It is that simple.

Stop doing these five things and take your power back.

Message From Archangel Gabriel

Channelled by Lisa Virtue t is a time now of shifting, of purging that which has felt inconsistent with your ability to be in your grace, and joy. You may have found in the past brief time period, that you have encountered some challenges on your physical, mental and emotional lives - coming out strong for some. Your resonance, the vibration that makes up who you are, is coming into a new era of enlightened living. It is an era that encompasses the shifting in to acceptance of ourselves, of who we are as spirit beings in a human experience on Earth. This time has been long in coming. Eras have come and gone, making slow progress over time to this ramped-up-feeling energy period. So, many shifts have taken place in the last several years that have also felt strong. This is continuing as you exponentially come in to this shift. Now it’s a time to finalize the purgings of the most recent time period. To shed the weight of the past.

As you step forward into this new time you can choose now to experience life in a greater way. Your greater ability to sense is maturing. Many, such as Lisa, have come into full connection with Spirit and themselves and perceiving energy in forms and ways that have not been expressed greatly in the past. Many others of you are starting to come into a new recognition of what life can hold for you. How you can be in this world in a way that is more pleasing, and feels like it is truthful to your purpose and your chosen life experiences. So I wish to encourage you to investigate the parts that are feeling uncomfortable yet. To get in there with a little brush to clean them out. For you are really in a time period now that I would like to term as “blossoming”.

Yet with a blossom comes shift. Change happens. From that tight bud of the rose, it opens - metamorphoses into something bigger, greater, grander, more expressive of its inner nature. But it must undergo a shift – a change.

So what you have been feeling, and what you may continue in for the next period is that opening, and if you have yourself set against change, mentally or physically, you’ll find that you suffer more. Your choice is to accept what is.

If you are able to be in the understanding that the changes occurring for you are part of you opening into a new, greater, beautiful expression of who you truly are, then you will find it easier to allow it to pass through, to allow it its moment. I recommend instead of resisting change, to create turmoil through resistance, that you find, however you may, an acceptance. If you can even bring your heart into some joy, knowing that this is you

I

coming more into a greater expression of your true self, then this will encourage you forward and help the shift be easier.

Now what can you expect in this new era? Well, expect that many more people will be opening to the concept of love as serving them best. To open to the communities of those expressing in this way.

To be curious about their extra abilities for sensing, for understanding, for compassion. The urge to bring others forward as well will become stronger. To help those who feel pain to know a greater truth about themselves.

You’re now helping those who have resisted to come less into resistance and more into acceptance.

Those of you of the majority reading this article will know that you are part of the team to help more through. So accept that you are here to change not only yourselves, but to assist others when they are at the appropriate time for their own shift. You needn’t force anyone. Allow them to come into that expression at the appropriate moment.

So live your lives, dear ones, knowing you are expanding as beings every moment. That you are witnessing a creation beyond the scope of simple human lives. There is a greater energy to this time period. You all have wonderful, loving supporters in the realms unseen, guiding you, supporting and helping you in the ways they can best do so. Ask for their assistance as you feel the need. Pray or speak to them as you wish.

Feel and know that they are loving you always. You can connect to this when you wish by sinking into your heart, knowing this thought that they are there loving you, and practicing allowing your heart to open and accept this great love.

You are all blessed on this day as you read, from we in spirit, from myself as the Archangel Gabriel, coming to help mankind in their own true-self ascension time.

With great love we cherish, respect and honour you in your Earth-time journey. A heart-felt, deep, corecentred blessing to you.
