Thanks Mike! Happy Retirement!

A

labour of love, such as Tone Magazine is a wonderful legacy and speaks volumes of dedication, courage, community building and so much more. I wonder what motivated and inspired Mike to create a magazine to explore higher consciousness in a time when that was a taboo subject! I am grateful to you Mike, for having persevered. We are all the better for it.

I can only wonder if Tone had a beginning similar to A Course in Miracles? After being so very frustrated that meetings were always difficult and painful, Bill Thetford, desperate for a solution, said out loud “There has to be another way of looking at this!”. One of his co-workers agreed and said “I will help you.” The heartfelt, desperate cry for help brought something to life they never could have imagined!

As we approach the end of 2019, perhaps some of us need to ask that very same question - “There has to be another way of looking at this” - in the hope that someone will come along and support us in our quest for an answer to a nagging issue that is begging for a new solution in 2020.

For example, it is no longer considered “politically correct” to wish someone “Merry Christmas!”. The term “Happy Holidays” is a controversial subject for many. So I have asked, “there has to be another way of looking at this that is universal”.

Jesus Christ was known as the Prince of Peace. The 25th of December is the only day of the year where Peace echoes on the Planet. The Six Nations Confederacy also had a saviour – he was known as the Peacemaker. He taught six Native Nations how to think in order to live in Peace. These Nations were so committed to living peacefully that they adopted the new way of being and the Peacemaker’s mission was completed and a success.

Read “Hiawatha and the Peacemaker”.

So this year, I will not wish you a “Happy Holiday”, nor will I wish you a “Merry Christmas” but rather, I wish you “Happy Peace Making” because to me, since Peace is the only vibration that can motivate the entire world to be quiet for one day, the truth behind December 25th is not a religious one, it is a sacred memory of what it is we all long for. There has to be another way of looking at this – what do we have to lose by asking? If you want to explore how to look at things differently, I offer a $25.00 per session, December special.

All the best to you Mike and thank you for your share in succeeding to create a venue that would foster higher consciousness – because that is the only level at and in which we will find Peace in our Hearts and on Earth. Peace, gratitude and best wishes to you and your readers!

Know Yourself

Tips to Increase Self-Awareness

I

t is quite likely that you don’t know yourself that well.

You don’t know (or don’t accept) the darkest parts of yourself, though you instinctively know they exist. You avoid knowing yourself, because the idea of it is just too uncomfortable. Whenever you are faced directly with yourself, you retreat.

You retreat by playing on your phone, getting a snack, turning on music or TV, getting sleepy, or finding some way to distract yourself.

Consider this: If you talked with someone for 30 minutes, you would have a solid handle on what they were all about. You would know what their weaknesses are and why their lives are not as great as they’d like.

Isn’t it interesting that you could have a deeper understanding of someone you barely know than you have of yourself?

Here’s a process to help you get to know yourself intimately: 1. Spend some alone time each day. This can be 20 minutes at the end of the day after everyone else goes to sleep, or you can go off by yourself. But you need to be truly alone.

2. Avoid any distractions during this time. No books, electronic devices, or anything else you find amusing or entertaining. It is just you and yourself. The ideal setting is sitting in a chair while facing a blank wall. Now you have nothing left to do but converse with yourself.

3. Have a conversation. What do you say to yourself? Say the same things you would say to another person you were trying to get to know. You know how to do this.

Ask yourself questions and answer them.

You will continue to struggle in the same ways you have been struggling all your life if you are not willing to take the important step of getting to know yourself.

Once you do, you will pave the way for creating a life that is more meaningful and satisfying.

Sri Chinmoy Answers

Question: How can we transform our nature?

S

RI CHINMOY: Transformation of our nature is the most difficult subject in the entire universe! Nature means the way we formulate thoughts and ideas, the way we look at anything that is coming into our view.

Thinking, feeling, becoming: this is our nature.

There are many ways to transform human nature but there are two main ways. One of these ways is to bring down into the system the divine, all-illumining Light of the Supreme and enlarging our receptivityvessel. This is the more important way. Before human nature is transformed, it is full of darkness. Darkness can be removed only by bringing in light, and not by anything else. We have to bring down light from above consciously and constantly and then expand our receptivity. The more we expand our receptivity, the more we can hold light inside ourselves.

The second way is to see the divine light in each human being and not to see anything else. Just because we see something undivine in ourselves and in others, it has become impossible for us to transform either our own nature or human nature in general. But if we consciously and constantly see only the divine light in others no matter what they do, what they say or what they are, then automatically human nature will be transformed. If we see light in each individual and in our own nature, then it is not only possible but also inevitable to transform human nature and earth’s nature.

Sri Chinmoy

Call for dates & locations: 613-422-0308 Offered as a free community service by students of Sri Chinmoy.

So by bringing down light and enlarging our receptivity, and by seeing light inside others, we transform human nature and our own nature. The very function of spiritual light is to illumine and transform our darkness. Spiritual light, inner light, illumines our age-long imperfections and bondage. Without light, nothing can be accomplished in the spiritual life. With light, everything can be accomplished.

Light is the power of the Supreme that illumines and transforms ignorance. Light is the capacity of the Supreme that transforms darkness into illuminationlight. Anything that transforms our existence is Light. Light, you can say, is the life-breath of the Supreme.

Caught in Fight or Flight?

H

ere’s how to ease out of the stress and anxiety hamster wheel. before the hussle of December catches you.

North America seems to be in an epidemic! The demands of work and family life, busy days and not enough time for self-nurturing are allowing people to spin out of control. And the end result? Adrenal fatigue, insomnia, headaches, and a host of other mental and physical health concerns.

But what’s a body to do? Fortunately, there are a number of natural options available. Both herbs and their concentrated counterparts, essential oils, have proven invaluable when it comes to supporting the nervous system.

Oatstraw is a yummy little herb that is a nervine. This means it calms down the whole nervous system and helps promote a restful sleep. Lavender is an antidepressant and can help lessen insomnia. Lemon balm is a prolific little herb assisting with stress and anxiety. P.S. we carry a tea combining all three. Insomniacs swear by it!

Believe it or not, catnip is very effective in humans as a remedy for nervous tension. A tea or soak in the tub before bed will set the tone for a peaceful, restful, healing night’s sleep, as will vetiver, valerian and a host of other herbs/essential oil blends. Herbs in the bath can also soothe sore muscles brought on by tension during the day.

Marjoram, rosemary, sage, comfrey, (so does peppermint, but it is energizing, so best to use in the morning) are wonderful tub companions. There are a variety of other healing plants one might use at any given time, but too many to list here.

I also want to point out the importance of taking moments every single day just for you-self care is crucial, especially for those who care for others.

Whether it is a walk in nature, deep breathing exercises, time for meditation or positive affirmations (there is a lot on-line, as well as phone apps that are free-try “Calm”, Headspace”, or “IshaKriya” to get an idea of what appeals to you) or a yoga class, any of these practices will help you stay calm and centred when you feel like you are in the middle of chaos. ©2019 Heather Garrod is a Certified Aromatherapist and owner of Planet Botanix, 301 Bank between Maclaren and Somerset.

Tis the Season Written by Rev. Alexis Nicol

A

s far back as I can remember December is a month filled with an abundance of mixed emotions. For some, this time of year can be extremely stressful.

Fears of not having everything under control, trying to manage each situation and dealing with everyone else’s moods in the process can have one’s emotions tested.

What is this season all about anyway? For some it’s religious, some spiritual, some giving and receiving, and the list goes on. In the end I believe it’s a time for us to love one another and demonstrate how much they mean to us. We are pushed to believe that we must buy something special and of course it must be the coolest.

We put so much pressure upon ourselves to be perfect.

We seem to have lost the meaning in the rush. Wouldn’t it be a lovely gift if we gave our time to be there to listen, give a hug, help someone that is having a difficult time?

Join us for an experiential weekend workshop on

The Power of Transformation and Healing through Family Constellation Saturday & Sunday, December 7th & 8th 9:30 AM to 6:00 PM at Saint Paul University Laframboise Hall, 223 Main Street, Ottawa, Ontario

These acts of kindness can mean more than anything that can be bought.

Most of us appreciate someone that takes their time to really listen to us. It helps us not feel quite so alone in such a hectic world. The pressures of buying the perfect gift, waiting in long lineups, going into debt or being the host/hostess with the most(ess) all attribute to much of the anxiety we may incur.

When you’re tired of waiting for a bus, or standing in a long lineup, my advice would be, be present in the moment, recognize the person in front of or behind you, really try to connect with and talk to them – not about how frustrated you are but with positivity. I’ll bet the time will go by a whole lot faster and you’ll both feel a sense of worth. At the end of the day we are all doing our best and if not, a little heartfelt compassion goes a very long way to reminding each other how we can do better.

May you all enjoy and take advantage of the many opportunities for gifting Love during the holiday season.

Alexis believes in a Wholistic Metaphysical approach to healing mind, body and soul. She combines natural healing modalities in her practice. www.firstlighthealing.com 613-263-7925

Family Constellations are one of the most effective and profound modalities that help us to heal emotionally, and at times physically, and enhance our relationships with ourselves, our families, friends, and the world.

Russian Dolls: Our five bodies

D

ecades ago I learned about the five bodies based on Vivek Chudamani, an ancient Sanskrit text. The text felt both practical and profound and I still see it as essential and applicable to my life. The five bodies are: Physical body Energy body Mental / emotional body Intellect / the ability to rationalize Ego I find that knowing about the five bodies helps to balance our lives, and to live with greater awareness.

Let’s explore this further: All bodies influence each other. Yet, I will have to simplify this principle here to provide you with the essence and to shorten this article.

To live a balanced life, we need to care for our physical body by eating a healthy diet and exercising. However, often we don’t see the other bodies. I remember thinking that I was a physical body and that I had a soul and that was all. But the five-body approach adds subtlety to our understanding of who and what we are. For example, we may find ourselves saying that we don’t have much energy or that we have too much energy or we may feel lethargic or agitated. This refers to our energy body.

If you pay attention you can feel it. It has important messages for us and not listening to those messages can lead to illnesses or exhaustion. Our mental body refers to our personality. I remember my mother – who had 10 of us! – saying that we all were born with a different personality, that we were undeniably different from one another. She was a no-nonsense woman and was known to speak candidly. This mental body has great potential and within it, patterns can be shifted, and traumas healed. If not, issues will remain with us, in a more or less conscious form. Our intellect body is our ability to rationalize, discern, understand. It can also help us shift our mind-set and patterns and it can help us grasp our ego. The ego is so subtle that we often don’t see it. It is core to our identity and makes us feel separate from everyone and everything.

Tone.ca

We can learn to balance our physical body by noticing the messages coming from our energy body. In my experience, meditation and/or certain activities or modalities are helpful. However, if our mental body is in distress, it will affect both the energy and physical body.

The intellect, however, has the ability to understand the power of thought, the effect of good or bad company, and that is why to ponder, reflect or explore philosophy is so important. Yet only the intellect can turn towards the ego to grasp it and its limitations. In a recent meditation group meeting we talked about humility. True humility is free, simple, and some meeting participants called it to being “egoless”. Of course, the ego doesn’t disappear, but the dualistic part of the ego, the one functioning from an egocentric perspective, can expand into empathy, etc.

Knowing the ego field has another advantage. It enables us to realize that there is something behind or beyond it. It is our free spirit. It has numerous Sanskrit names, but for this purpose, we can call it Spirit or true Self. The one at our core, looking at the five Russian dolls if you may. Going through life without knowing our true free self, even if it is only having a sense of it, is like playing Russian roulette. Challenges will be difficult to handle without the stability of our inner core Self. It is our only true stability, ground of lasting freedom and satisfaction.

So this Christmas season, remember the five bodies! It helps staying balanced and grounded.

Know Your MDs

By Dr. George Paul Greenacre, Dds Mankind’s Dilemma Is Mankind’s De-Evolution

T

he first factor in all modern diseases and mankind’s de-evolution is malnutrition disorders. In fact, if you’re looking for the cause behind the cause, think micronutrient disorders. First among these is the problem of mineral deficits and microenzyme deficiencies, which means that the key to our metabolism, the Krebs cycle, does not have all the mineral micronutrients and enzymes to function optimally.

Further metabolic disruptors are a major distress in our food chain. Scientists now report that many insects are facing extinction due to the introduction of the 100,000+ chemicals. This is serious because bees and butterflies are like the canaries in the coal mine. If THEY are endangered, then WE are endangered as a species as well. Books are now being written on the concept of microbiome detoxification.

Other examples of metabolic disruptors are drugs, sugar, synthetic sugar substitutes like aspartame, MSG, excitotoxins, heavy metals and the 100,000+ other non-nutritional chemicals that we release into our environment, ingest and breathe daily into our microbiomes (our gut). Humans make poor food choices as we have adopted a fast food concept in misguided dining. These lifestyle choices lead us into the realm of manifesting disease. Metabolic diseases such as diabetes are malnutrition deficits compounded by manmade drugs that further lead us into a lifetime of manmade diseases. Sometimes these drugs can lead to our demise since the 4th-leading cause of death in North America is side effects from properly prescribed and ingested drugs. We’re just beginning to appreciate the unseen but pervasive effects of unseen micro-current distress.

What is the cumulative effect of magneto-electric and microwave distress on mammalian biology? Many experts are suggesting we’re going too fast on 5G without testing the effects on our infants and our insects.

If we lose the bees, then we all lose. Many crops depend on bees and butterflies for pollination. Hippocrates said, “Make good foods thy medicine!” However, he never imagined the modern pervasive influence of pesticides, herbicides, fungicides and fertilizers on our lives. Chemical agriculture is now so invasive that there seems to be no way back economically and corporately to balanced ecosystems!

We need a 500-year plan for humanity. Political parties give us 4-year plans based on what to do to get re-elected and save the political party itself. Well, the party is over! We need to move beyond party politics to issue-based politics to survive.

The above cumulative effects are all malnutrition disorders that lead us into the obvious segue of movement and malformation disorders. This partly explains why we have so many jaw problems, scoliosis, kyphosis, bad backs and sore necks and, secondarily, musculoskeletal disorders. The first sign of musculoskeletal disorders is maxillary dysmorphogenesis or a small upper jaw or palate that in turn causes mandibular dysfunction or a distorted jaw positioning, posture and functionality.

Got a TMJ problem or a sore, clicking jaw joint?

This shrinking palate is the canary in the cranium!

Maxillary dysmorphogenesis is the first sign of musculoskeletal dysfunctionality, which is not yet a well-established key medical diagnostic parameter but will become one soon. Maxillary dysmorphogenesis is being overlooked because it is hidden in the mouth, and physicians are not yet trained to measure and evaluate palatal growth. This is part of the medico-dental disconnect.

Maxillary dysmorphogenesis is the criminal in the cranium. It negatively influences all the attached cranial bones in their subtle micromotion and cervical function as well. Underdeveloped palates lead to fist mandibular displacement and TMJ dysfunction and secondly, misplaced discs or meniscus dysfunction in our jaw joints. This means we develop clicking, popping jaw joints and masticatory dysfunction or a bad bite. Dr. John Diamond, MD, said that the two most important joints in the human body are the left and right jaw joints. This makes sense since they are there for us prior to birth and right after birth to suckle, breathe and swallow. This creates myofascial dysfunction in the jaw, airway, neck, ear and swallowing muscles. Maxillary dysmorphogenesis also creates myorespiratory disorders such as snoring and sleep apnea and misalignment disorders such as sore necks, scoliosis and kyphosis. This can even lead to mental disorders and myoneurological distress. We know a bad bite can cause trigeminal nerve distress and the production of Substance P, which is a major metabolic disruptor and perpetrator of cell membrane damage. Most doctors still know little or nothing about Substance P. After all, everything is about cell membrane health in the gut and body. Even that old disease rickets is making a comeback because of industrial smog that is the ultimate sun block. Smog can create malnutrition deficits such as mineral deficiencies and Missing Vitamin D, the sunshine vitamin.

Malnutrition disorders (lacking key vitamins, minerals, good fats and clean water) and metabolic destabilizers (e.g. sugar, fructose, MSG, margarine, and any of the thousands of additives now part of the food chain) can also leave us vulnerable to many mental diseases, ranging from mental distraction to mood disorders to depression and to actual mental diseases or even to dementia. Apparently Robin Williams committed suicide because of dementia. I still miss Robin Williams’ humour; indeed, laughter has always been one of the best medicines.

Malnutrition disorders can also make us more vulnerable to microbial diseases of all types, including parasitic infections, as well as mycotic diseases that are fungal infections. Dr. Orian Truss wrote a book called The Missing Diagnosis, referring to the plethora of undiagnosed and underappreciated mycotic diseases.

Dr.Tulio Simoncini wrote a book called Cancer is a

In Joseph Mercola’s latest book Fat for Food, he states that cancer is a metabolic disorder. I just thought you’d like to know your MDs better.

The ultimate MD is perhaps mankind’s deevolution, and we are now experiencing mental and musculoskeletal deterioration. Our palates are getting smaller and our pelvises are getting narrower; however, we could reverse this trend! If we start two years before conception with super supplementation for both prospective parents for mineral deficiencies, microenzyme deficiencies and all micronutrient deficiencies, we could reverse mankind’s degeneration problem. We can create a new generation with perfectly formed, stronger teeth and bones, stronger minds, better airways and larger paleo-palates and paleo-pelvises.

We would call this new generation of really wellnourished and well-loved children “paleo-moderns”!

Shattered Earth: Approaching Extinction Comes to Ottawa Ian Prattis I was humbled by early reviews for “Shattered Earth: Approaching Extinction.” Here are a few gems.

Barbara A. White, M.A. and Critic I often find myself observing [occasionally out loud and with genuine astonishment] that “Ian was right!” He has anticipated all of the major threats to global peace and harmony. But brace yourself; there is no going back. You cannot “un-see” the revelations Ian pulls from the deep waters and furtive shadows of emerging global awareness. His wisdom becomes your wisdom AND a fulcrum for your own personal enlightenment and development. Such is the grace and gift of a man who has tapped deep into the well of ancient wisdom intent upon saving the earth and all of humanity.

Listen and begin your own healing hero’s journey.

Rolly Montpellier, Co-Founder Below 2 Degrees Shattered Earth: Approaching Extinction comes to us at the right time when the era of climate emergency is upon us.

We have neglected the warnings of climate scientists and the signs about global warming for decades. …

This book asks two fundamental questions: “What is left for us?” and “What are we going to do now?” ….The conversation with his nine year old grandnephew (Chapter 4) is particularly moving and useful.

It helped my four grandchildren prepare for their climate-constrained future.

Krystina McGuire-Eggins, Therapist In Shattered Earth, Ian Prattis catapults the reader into a dark, brutal vision of the devastation on Earth as a result of our willful neglect and abuse of its resources. Prattis shares his abundance of knowledge and experience to present a convincing and alarming view of the future, including a glimpse of the year 2080. Using the wisdom he has gained from his travels to overseas ashrams and monasteries, as well as his time spent with Native American medicine people and shamans, he provides an invaluable insight into the ancient wisdom that can sustain us. This book is dark. It is bonechilling. It is captivating.

Jana Begovic, Poet, Author, Editor Prattis’ book Shattered Earth reflects Toni Morrison’s statement that there is no time for despair, delay, self-pity or fear, but it is time for artists to go to work. And Prattis does just that. His allegiance is to the truth, to our ravaged planet writhing in agony. He paints a bleak portrait of today’s reality in which the corporate world uses its unbridled power and wealth to resist and denigrate ruthlessly any environmental movement in order to keep the privileged status quo for itself, regardless of the devastating current and future consequences.

Dr. Prattis is a recipient and bearer of the ancestral wisdom, He shines the light on what is important for our survival, and that of the generations to come, on the urgency with which we ought to act while there is still a glimmer of hope left before it is too late. The powerful, sobering and timely message of this book should be shared far and wide.

The books have arrived to my home. To avoid the cost of Shipping and Handling, Ottawa area folks are welcome to pick up a signed copy AND receive the bonus of a FREE prior book.

Eating and The Holidays

D

ecember is here, the holiday parties are in full swing, food is everywhere, and the drinks are flowing! Staying in control of your food intake is tricky enough on its own, but when people are giving it to you at every turn, not to mention all the deliciousness that hangs out in workplace kitchens, boxes of chocolates and Christmas flavoured everything; it all can get quite overwhelming and you can wind up feeling too full, bloated, and uncomfortable. Food and coming together this time of year come hand in hand - here are my tips to keep you glowing and radiant this holiday, so you can enjoy every bit of it!

First things first, don’t go to parties ravenous. Going in super hungry is a recipe for overeating and indulging which will most likely leave you feeling uncomfortable for the duration of the party. Try rather to go to a party peckish. Eating things like nuts, fruit, a salad or a healthy protein bar before a function will not only keep you from being hungry (in case the food takes forever to show up) it will allow you to pick and choose what you would like to eat, instead of eating everything because you were starving. Being selective with your food choices allows for control and conscious indulgence.

Another reason why this trick is awesome - you already feel good because you got some delicious nourishing foods in beforehand so you can spend more time trying the delicious desserts!

If you know you will be eating out several times throughout the month, try and eat home cooked meals the rest of the time. This will allow you to keep some normalcy with your routine, it will keep you healthier and on the right path when it comes to how you feel about this holiday. Home cooked foods have less sugar, salt, trans fat and preservatives than fast/restaurant food. Bulk up on fermented foods to keep your gut happy and healthy, fill up on fiber, load your plate with vegetables, whole grains and nutritious sources of protein.

Try and avoid sugar as much as possible. It is hard and it’s completely fine to indulge and enjoy some delicious food. Be conscious of how much you are eating.

Not only are sweet treats loaded with sugar but so is most alcohol. Sugar wreaks havoc on our immune system and too much of it can lead you to feeling nauseous and spike your blood sugar, that 3 pm crash is a real thing and not fun. Kombucha is a great alternative to alcohol (or a good base) super trendy and it tastes great.

Bringing something to a party? Try making a treat with no processed sugars so everyone can share in a healthy dessert - trust me, it is possible to create deliciousness out of real, raw ingredients! Instead of white processed sugar try sweetening with maple syrup, banana, apple sauce and/or dates. Getting creative and looking for new ways to indulge in your favourite treats will allow you to eat them and feel amazing!

Tone.ca

Staying hydrated is key! Drinking water is important everyday a-l-w-a-y-s, I know I know, you know - but I need to say it! Drink your water. Between drinks, have water, while you drink take sips of water. If you are about to eat, drink 30 minutes before your meal. Staying hydrated won’t just keep you feeling fresh and healthy, it will help your body function as it’s digesting all the delicious homemade goodies! The best part about being hydrated this time of year, you get to avoid chapped lips, your skin will thank you by staying moisturized and you will feel good overall. Not a water fan? Try adding berries, lemon, lime, or orange to your water to add a natural flavour! Bottoms up!

Keep your movement routine in full swing. We tend to think “Oh, I’ll get back to the gym in January” or “I will allow myself to enjoy the holidays and not workout”. This mentality leads us to thinking that movement is a chore and something we don’t have to do if we want to enjoy our time. Movement is a way to celebrate your body. You do not, and I repeat DO NOT need to “run off calories” or “work out because you feel too full”. Food is fuel, it’s not something you need to punish yourself for consuming. Keep up your movement routine, in ways that feel best to you; walking, running, yoga, stretching, HIIT, kickboxing - whatever you fancy, keep it up! Your body wants to feel good whether it’s Christmas, Hanukkah or New Years and I know you will too! :) Please be kind to your body this holiday and always!

You are an amazing human being, much more than your outward appearance, so please, be kind to yourself. You can indulge and enjoy food and not feel guilty. Even if you eat too much chocolate or have an insane amount of cranberry brie cheese with sodium loaded crackers; that is so okay! Your body will get over it, I hope you will too. Enjoy your food mindfully, when you get stressed so does your body and it legitimately interferes with your digestive process which can cause bloating, indigestion, diarrhea, constipation, nausea - all the really annoying things. Let’s stay in parasympathetic nervous mode where our bodies can relax, rest and digest for maximum absorption and function.

Additional tips, drink peppermint tea to help your digestive system, incorporate apple cider vinegar into your eating regime to increase hydrochloric acid production, load up on prebiotic and probiotic foods, digestive enzymes or foods like pineapple and papaya that are loaded with enzymes and will help your body break down foods and most importantly r-e-l-a-x! Enjoy this time of year and don’t focus so much on restriction rather focus on continuing to fuel your body while indulging in delicious *mostly healthy* foods. Mindfulness goes a long way not only in our day to day but also in how we choose to nourish ourselves.

May this season be full of wonderful cheer, love+ joy!

Bowen Therapy for Chronic Sciatica and Lower Back Pain

P

eople who have fallen often end up with lower back pain or sciatic nerve pain that radiates through the pelvis and even down the leg to the foot. If their pain does not resolve despite months of expensive conventional treatment, the cause could be a misaligned sacrum and pelvis.

Misaligned pelvic bones and associated muscle tension can cause: • Back pain • Sciatica • Piriformis Syndrome • Buttock, hip, leg, or knee pain • Bunions (if only one foot has a bunion, the cause is not your shoes!)

Treating Only the Painful Area is Not the Solution Many therapies and treatment protocols merely target the location of the pain. For example, if the hip hurts, they treat the hip joint. However, if a femur isn’t seated in its hip socket properly because pelvic bones have been pulled out of symmetry by hypertonic (spasmed) muscles, treating only the hip area will NOT necessarily resolve the dysfunction. Untreated hypertonic muscles in the back, legs and/or pelvis hold those bones in asymmetry indefinitely. The result is pain and eventually osteoarthritis.

Because Bowen Therapy treats the body’s musculoskeletal structure as a system, rather than simply addressing the painful area, many clients experience pain relief.

Bowen Therapy + Applied Myoskeletal Therapy The College of Applied Myoskeletal Therapy of Australia offers “post-grad” training to Bowen Therapy practitioners. The advanced AMT assessment protocols and additional manual therapy techniques help clients with complex skeletal misalignment due to, for example, car accidents, falls, sports injuries, or other physical trauma.

There are more than 2,000 Bowen Therapy practitioners in Canada. In 2019, 39 of them were trained in pelvis and lumbar spine assessment and alignment

by instructor John Garfield, bringing the total number of Canadians with the training to 45. They are located in British Columbia, Alberta, Ontario, Quebec and New Brunswick. These practitioners can assess and resolve skeletal misalignment such as: • Single or double pelvis rotations • Elevated iliac crest (and associated elevated shoulder) • Locked (non-moving) sacroiliac joints • Rotated lumbar vertebrae • Scoliosis • Functional leg length discrepancies • Pelvic upslip • Sacrum and coccyx lateral deviation Testimonials & Cases Clients tell us that Bowen Therapy + AMT pelvis alignment gets lasting results when nothing else they’ve tried has worked.

Snowboarder I had been living with chronic hip pain for five to seven years; as a result last winter I contracted sciatica.

I consulted physiotherapists, a chiropractor, osteopath, massage therapist and an acupuncturist, but nothing even came close to the results I received from the Bowen therapist. From the first visit, I finally felt the relief I had been searching for, all with the gentleness that Bowen Therapy and Applied Myoskeletal Therapy offers. I’m so grateful that the Bowen therapist has been able to help my hip and sciatica, and improve my overall quality of life. G.M., 2019 Slipped on Ice A middle-aged client slipped and fell several times the previous winter. She walked stiffly, with “pain everywhere”. She’d pulled muscles in her back, legs, glutes, neck, and one shoulder. The result was a locked sacroiliac joint and a single (one-side) forward pelvic rotation that caused a long leg on that side. In one session her sacroiliac joint released, her pelvis realigned, and leg lengths became even. More sessions were needed to treat her upper back, shoulder, and neck muscles.

Skating Accident A woman in her 20s broke her right ankle and had surgery. Three years later she presented with lower back pain. The pelvis dysfunction was complex. Her

TRANSFORMATION

T

ransformation of the self does not happen without the will of an individual to begin to want to change something within themselves. Transformation of a life happens the same way. It cannot occur unless an individual wishes to change something they continue to experience over and over again.

Transformation begins with the WILL, but than that WILL has to connect to the spiritual heart and the unique truthful experience of the individual so that it can be created from a higher perspective, so that it can begin to assist that individual in transforming in a more harmonious way, in a way that is truly changing all aspects of their lives and not just in one specific area. It begins to assist that individual in seeing their world and their reality differently, so that they may begin to want to create and express themselves differently.

Changing everything around them and within them This cannot occur without love for self, for it is love for self that will give you the energy, and fuel the WILL to begin creating in this way.

There are many for you who are looking/searching for love and change, you have to realize that neither of these things exist outside of yourself first, for it is all within you. Whatever is happening inside of you, will always be reflected in the outside world. For you will be able to see things only accordingly to what your internal view of your life is.

So remember, first you must love yourself. This will give you the WILL, the power that you need for the transformation. Then use your spiritual heart (located about three inches in front of your spinal cord, in the center of the chest ) this is your best tool to manifest everything that you need.

May peace be with you all.

right iliac crest was high together with a right-side pelvic rotation, which caused painful pressure on lumbar nerves and created a functional leg length discrepancy.

The left leg hamstrings and gracilis muscles were hypertonic. As well, there was significant residual muscle tension in the left (unbroken and untreated) ankle and lateral calf from the accident. Thanks to the combo of Bowen Therapy and AMT, she walked out of the clinic pain-free and aligned at the end of her first session. It’s never too late to heal from an accident!

ften people will call me up and now they’ll have an issue, for example, they’ll be a smoker and they’ll say, “Well listen, Luke, on one hand, I know I really wanna quit smoking, that’s why I’m calling you.

So I’m ready to invest the time and money and become a nonsmoker. Yet on the other hand, kind of bit scared because, you know, smoking comforts me. It helps to relax me.”

Another example is someone that will call me up and they’ll say, “Luke, I really wanna lose some weight, get

in shape. You know, I really wanna get in shape for the summer. Look good, feel good. You know, look sexy, rock that bikini or Speedo on the beach, but there’s another part of me that just really enjoys, like, eating too much food, eating, watching movies, eating that pint of Häagen-Dazs in the evening.” Another client will say to me, “Luke, I’m really anxious and want to get rid of the anxiety and I know it’s bad for me and it’s putting me in fights or flight over stimulation of the central nervous system all of the time. But then there’s another part of me that thinks it keeps me safe, that it protects me, that it will prevent bad things happening for me like in the past.” So here’s a story, metaphor, if you will, I wanna share it with you about that.

When I work with people, it’s much, like, I’m working with an organization, corporation, if you will, and this corporation is insert your name. Now in your corporation, in your company, there’s literally thousands, thousands, perhaps even millions of different positions in your company. Now, let’s say we’re working with the part that’s causing you to feel anxiety too much and you want to get rid of it because you know it’s not good for you, it’s not making you feel happy, but on the other hand, you think it’s keeping you safe.

“I Can Make YouStop Stop Smoking in One Hour”Hour” “I Can Make You Smoking in One If you’re having trouble kicking the Evil Habit Dr. Luke Michael Howard can transform even the most ardent smoker into a healthy non-smoker IN JUST ONE HOUR.

Dr. Luke Michael Howard, PhD

Dr. Luke, owner of the LUKEnosis Complete Mind Therapy organization, is a Smoking Cessation Specialist, has a Masters degree in Hypnotherapy as well as a Doctorate in Psychology.

Dr. Luke has been studying Hypnosis for over 16 years now and has trained all over the world. After over a decade, Dr. Luke is still the youngest person

16

certified by the American Board of Hypnotherapy.

Dr. Luke has been featured in all forms of media such as Tone Magazine, CTV Morning Live, and CBC Radio.

He has developed an advanced hypnotherapy technique that turns weak willed smokers into empowered Non-Smokers in just one hour. He says “This technique is so powerful we are achieving a 95% success rate. This is incredible when you think that patches are only about 16% successful.

We are so confident in the success of this treatment that we offer a free backup session for the remaining 5%.

In fact, if after the session any one should need an extra session, it’s theirs, FREE OF CHARGE.” Dr. Luke explains, “This powerful breakthrough technique combines the latest discoveries in hypnosis and the new science of personal achievement known as Neuro Linguistic

Programming. This takes the power of hypnosis to a new level in helping people take back control of their lives.”

Many local doctors are so impressed by the power of hypnosis that they are now referring many of their patients to Dr. Luke for his Accelerated Change Stop Smoking Programme. Dr. Luke says, “I am currently building a Doctors Referral Network to keep local GP’s informed of my developments and to keep them informed of their patients’ progress.

Many celebrities, professional business people, nurses and housewives have benefited from stopping smoking with hypnosis, SO CAN YOU! The good news is that this incredible method of stopping smoking is available locally. The bad news there usually is a two or three week waiting list for an appointment – but even the medical profession believes it’s worth waiting for.

“I walked out a nonsmoker!”

Caroline had been a smoker for the majority of her lifenearly 30 YEARS! She had tried every type of stop-smoking aid possible, tried using ‘will power’ to quit cold turkey but to no avail-that is until she met Dr. Luke. She recently sent him this follow up email: “I promise I will totally do a video testimonial for you in the future though, as the hypnosis TOTALLY worked...not only have I not smoked...I have not even WANTED to!!! It really is amazing” Check out more testimonial videos on: www.lukenosis.com and you can contact Dr. Luke at LUKEnosis to arrange an appointment at 613-8785874.

What we’re doing is the kind of change work I do is talk to that bit. Talk to that bit that wants to hold on to that problem and let that bit know that it’s done its job, it’s done its job well because it’s not trying to hurt you.

But in the company, in your corporation, that job, that specific job’s being dissolved, that position isn’t going to exist anymore after we’re done. So that part, that job, if you will, on your corporation, in your company of you, insert your name, that job is gonna be gone. So the part that’s been running the overprotection has a choice, it either can take redundancy and move on, go somewhere else or it can take all of its skills and go on to another position in your company.

So, example of this, you might be, “Well, Luke, why would I want that anxiety part in me?” Well, here’s the structure of anxiety. Everyone does it the same. They go out to an event in the future that hasn’t happened yet, because anxiety is always future-based, catastrophize it, imagine it going horribly terrible bad, fill their body with all of those stress hormones like cortisol and adrenaline, visualize it vividly but forget you’re visualizing and think that it’s really happening. I’ll bring it all the way back now and we know that whatever you vividly imagine, whether you think you’re imagining or not, you always are, and feeling that chemical dump of those chemicals such as adrenaline and cortisol, stress and anxiety, if you will, inside your body, it makes it one coin, it’s gonna happen because it literally shifts that internal compass, if you will, like a self-fulfilling prophecy.

So what we’re saying is you just don’t like anxiety.

But you’re doing so, really what the structure of the problem is actually very good. You’re going out to the future and you’re imagining something like it’s really real. That’s not problematic. It’s only problematic because you’re imagining the wrong shit inside your head and it makes you feel bad. So that part can go and be redundant after its work gets over or that part can stick around but it has to use those skills on incredibly visualizing things, thinking things, making things real in a positive way.

So imagine that part stayed in the company, but now it used its skills of projecting you into the future and making you see things that haven’t happened but made you see things that you want it to have happened, like success, attracting the kind of mate you want into your life. You have the kind of finances, that kind of career, the kind of health that you want in your life. And you did it so much it became real, it felt real, at least it felt [inaudible] it’s real. Your problem isn’t real either but it feels like it’s real inside, I get that. But what if that part used its same skills of projecting you into the future, but in order for you to rapidly see a beautiful 4D technicolor exactly what you want in your life?

Tone.ca

It can do that, just can’t do the old job anymore of making you feel shitty and stuck anymore. But it gets to use those skills and it is a skill, just using it for the right way to make you feel amazing and kind of create the future you want. That’s a lot of the change work that I do, it’s essentially just getting that part and giving it a choice. “Hey, you’ve been doing your job well. You haven’t tried to hurt this person, you’re trying to protect them but you’ve been overprotective in some way, can’t do that anymore. Job’s being dissolved. So you can either get on the redundancy line, get out, hit the bricks or you can stay with the company, get a pay raise, but you’ve got to use those skills for good.”

That’s a lot about the change work that I do, the parts of work that I do with people in order when someone says, “I got a part of me that says, this part of me that doesn’t want to do this anymore, a part of me that does want to do it. What do I do?” That’s part of the work that we do and the kind of change work that I do. Hopefully, that’s kind of explained on some level that you understand.

Eternal Love - Connecting with YOU

By Pooja Grover (Mindful Intuitions) ver imagined how wonderful our own spiritual world would be if we believed that we are the “Eternal Love” that we could return to? Ever wondered how liberated our soul would be if we let go of our fears and anxieties encircling our soul with this “Eternal Love”?

Mindful living creates a space of love and light in our life which in turn creates a shield of positive thoughts of love around us. It washes away all the negativity and comforts our soul. It makes our soul power shine brighter each day. “Eternal Love” is a gift, a life mantra which activates and integrates all our material and spiritual gifts. When we use love as our guide, we create a unique eternal life and build the foundation of opening our perceptions and transforming our challenges into graceful abilities connecting us with our higher consciousness.

“Eternal Love” enhances all our worldly relationships and we embark on a mindful journey of healing our minds, bodies and souls. We radiate positivity and

E

the golden rays of our spiritually awakened soul spreads around us creating an aura of gratitude and appreciation for the bounties and blessings of the universe. Being creative, living in the moment and appreciating the beauty of the present moment while bringing the awareness to my breath helps me attained a heightened awareness of my soulful journey. Art connects me with my spiritual side at a much deeper level, especially when I am creating art in a safe, non-judgemental environment; expressing the depths of my soul through textures and colours. The real power lies in taking the focus within and connecting with the “Eternal Love” that’s within each one of us.

Learn to connect with “YOU”! Paint your own Mindful Intuitions, expressing the depths of your soul through art!

Namaste! - I bow to the divinity in all souls…

Pooja’s vision is to spread some sparkles wherever she goes, touching the souls around her at a much deeper level with her soulful, inspirational and intuitive art coupled with her creative writing. - Pooja Grover (Visual Artist), www.mindfulintuitions.com (613-276-7612).

Feedback from an EnergyBEE on Communion with Universal Consciousness

Sponsors & supporters...

by MT Martee ThOMus TegTmeyer

E

verything is energy, frequency and vibration. And listening to a foreign language with words we do not recognize assists in undercutting rationale thinking processes and allows are unconscious to let go and cascade as we clear out blockages...

EnergyBEE invited Craig Trojan to present on COMMUNION WITH UNIVERSAL CONSCIOUSNESS in June to Otherworld Treasures: Craig Trojan, PleiadianTensegrity Activator, who has also received light language gifts from the Acturian and Lyran star systems, [now mostly from the Plaeidian system] addressed the gathering of 15 people with nurturing messages of hope, compassion, and uplifting, enlivening energy. Archangel Metatron is known as the Angel of Life and the Angel of the Covenant, and is represented in a number of esoteric systems of knowledge.

Metatron is the archangel that you can depend upon when you are making dramatic shifts in your energetic life.

Craig is a light worker with many accreditations in different systems or schools of Reiki.

Some descriptions from participants… ● It was like a story-telling experience...in a safe, cozy space and I wanted to hear more... ● I felt being coaxed to be kind to myself. ● It would be valuable to reflect on a Sunday morning with a glass of orange juice or wine on what transpired this evening and “harvest” possible messages, influences and meanings. ● Spiritual without dogma. Inspiring and comforting.

After 40 minutes, as host I asked for feedback and after a few moments of silence, a guest from Brockville, Judy, erupted into healing light language herself.

After a while Martee as host invited Craig [craigtr139@hotmail.com] to have a first time light language public conversation with Judy Link…[www.judylink. ca]. After Craig began with a warming address to Judy, she joined in a back and forth ‘spirited’ discussion.

These events are areligious, adogmatic, interfaith, non-denominational, community building, & fun.

Many thanks to all!

What was most important for me was to realize the correlation Selye drew between long-term unrelieved stress and the development of a pathological state (severe illness). Simply put, we need to learn to destress regularly (like brushing our teeth).

As I think of the forthcoming few weeks and its hurried and jolly time, here are a few tips and techniques to help you stay away from Selye’s Exhaustion Stage.

So my “12 days of Holidays” survival tips are: 1. Do less of what you don’t like to do.

2. Do more of what you love to do.

3. With no possibility of interruption, (behind a locked door if necessary), take a long hot bath with bubbles (my favourite).

4. Instill tools for relaxation into your day-to-day life, i.e., listen to music (wild or classical, depending on taste), explore powerful and soothing activities such as qigong, yoga, meditation, walking in nature, etc.

5. Establish traditions around the holidays that allow you to stop and give thanks for the simple things in life.

6. Treat yourself to a good massage or energy therapy work with a competent, trusted individual.

7. If you are a highly sensitive person, know that you will need to retreat to recharge. Find easy excuses to disappear (even for a short while) to re-centre and reignite your spirit.

8. Tap into community events. Sing alone or in a crowd.

9. Find a creative outlet. My favourite is digital painting which I never get enough time to do. So in those tiny windows between my clients, I dive into Corel Painter and the magic of colour. What is yours?

How can you build in more of “that” creative piece (e.g., cooking, decorating, puzzle-work, art of all kinds) into your life. Creative work is when you lose all sense of time and you are at peace. So if hanging Xmas lights from your roof doesn’t light your creative style then read #1 above (do less of what you don’t like to do) and find an alternate (and perhaps safer) creative outlet.

harting from top to bottom, the eight bands of tension are: 1. Top of head & eyes; 2. Jaw and neck; 3. Shoulders; 4. Chest (heart area); 5. Diaphragm; 6. Solar plexus area; 7. Stomach/abdominal; 8. Pelvic area. And, of course, the arms and hands get involved magically linking to the tension in the shoulders. Similarly leg tension takes cues from the pelvic and abdominal area.

These are often where stress gets stored in the body.

Where (in your body) does your stress settle? For some, it lightly appears and disappears quickly, for others, it moves in permanently. For me (especially when I am in complete overload) some of my muscles slam shut like my Old English Sheepdog’s mouth on a tasty bone.

Challenging to release.

The other night I was watching TV. Suddenly I noticed my arms were seized with tension. Even my hands were tense. All I was doing was watching some innocuous movie. I started to question where this stress was coming from? Was I sitting awkwardly? Or too long in one place? Or was it simply a habit of repeated tension that my body had created and that I was finally noticing?

With my Eden Energy Medicine training I have learned that these moments of subtle (or not so subtle) stress are “body talk”. My body is speaking to me through the tightened muscles. Sometimes it is less subtle: it yells at me through pain. My clever body is telling me to pay attention and to take action. I started to wonder how many times a day my body was conversing, and I wasn’t hearing the message.

Luckily I have learned much through my Eden Energy Medicine training, and I quickly held a few acupressure points to release the stress. I also promised myself I would pay more attention to the signals I was receiving. Often stress settles in the body and becomes a habit. This habit of holding certain muscles tight gets repeated over and over at an unconscious level, and eventually crescendos into pain. Later in this article I will include a few easy Eden Energy Medicine tools and techniques to lessen your tension.

But we know that a certain amount of stress is a good thing. It is absolutely essential to our well-being. Dr. Hans Selye, the Canadian (born in Austria-Hungary) endocrinologist, was the first to identify the three stages of adrenal gland exhaustion: alarm, resistance and exhaustion. His work was so important that he was nominated 17 times for the Nobel Prize.

Selye was fascinated with stress and what it did to the human physiology. He went on to measure one’s tolerance to stress when faced with a difficult situation,

calling it the “resistance to stress” that defines one’s ability to be relaxed and composed when faced with repeated difficult situations without becoming helpless or feeling hopeless.

I love the diagram below that shows the impact of the three stages. I have lived well all phases in my lifetime.

Tone.ca

10. My first Eden Energy Medicine (EEM) go-to for stress release is: Holding the neurovasculars.

Neurovasculars are powerful points on the head linked to meridian pathways and acupressure points. Instructions: Find a quiet space. I like to lie down when I do this. Simply put your right hand on your forehead and your left at the back of your neck. Close your eyes and breathe. Now think of what is annoying you at this moment, and continue to repeat it over and over in your mind for up to 5 minutes. What most people experience is that you start to calm down; their breathing will slow; after about a minute you start to forget the annoying thing. Stay with it and bring the annoying thing back into consciousness and repeat it over and over again. Again it will disappear. What is happening?

You are holding key bladder and gallbladder meridian points (neurovasculars) on your head that connect to emotions such as fear and frustration.

By repeating the “frustrations” while holding these points, the blood returns to the front of the brain as it dissipates/processes the negative emotions.

Tone.ca

11. My second EEM technique is called the Windshield Wiper. Let me explain. We have many energy channels (long lines of energy) called meridians.

One key one is the Central Meridian that runs up the front of the body from pelvis to just below the bottom lip. It is like your energetic line of protection. You can unzip this line (pretend it is like a zipper). Try that. Then with both hands out in front of you, imagine you have a chalkboard in front of you and are wiping it clean just like windshield wipers. Then rezip up from the pelvis to the bottom lip. What this does is empty out some of the excess energy that we often accumulate. I use this one often.

12. My final EEM suggestion is simply rocking the body from side to side while giving yourself a gentle hug. Rocking turn off the “flight, fright and freeze” pattern buried within the body. Rubbing your arms gently while you do also soothes the nervous system.

Wishing you and yours an amazing time, surrounded by love, friendship and kindness. With many peaceful moments, as your companion.

Darshan with Mother Meera

by Reza Shadman am delighted to announce that Mother Meera will be back in Ottawa on Dec 7th, 2019. This is Her second tour in Quebec and Ontario this year. It is also part of the anniversary of the 40 years of Her arrival in Canada and the USA. Its was in 1979 in Montreal, Quebec, where Mother offered Her first public Darshan to North American audience. Mother Meera is known to be an embodiment of the Divine Feminine. Her purpose is to help with humanity’s transformation and to that extent, She travels the world to spread Her light. It is truly with joy that we invite you to experience Darshan in Ottawa. Darshan is always free.

Darshan is Mother’s unique way of offering Her blessing. It is the essence of Her work.

I

“The whole purpose of my work is in the calling down of the Paramatman Light and in helping people. For this I came – to open your hearts to the Light.”

Mother Meera Guests can expect an inward experience. Darshan is offered in silence. There is no talk, only a silent blessing.

Mother transmits her Light by looking into a person’s eyes and holding their temples. Our hall at the Hotel can comfortably seat 200 attendees. The guests are quietly guided to meet Mother face to face. A detailed explanation of Darshan is available at https://www. mothermeera.com/darshan-en/about-darshans/ darshan/ “When humans sincerely aspire for happiness, harmony, peace, and light, then it is the Divine Mother who helps.”

Mother Meera Some but not all guest experience an impression.

Mother Meera says that the light we receive works on its own, whether we feel it or not. The first time I received Darshan I felt happy. Spring that year, out of

a great need, I prayed to Her continually and when things got better I forgot about Her. A few months later, during fall, a picture of Mother got my attention and I immediately knew She had been with me all along, in the background, helping. I realized I had been supported and held, even though I was not aware.

Anyone’s sincere prayer for help, regardless of personal faith and belief, is answered. She is simply a Mother for all. https://www.mothermeera.com/livestream/ is an excellent way to connect with Mother’s weekly meditations and blessings.

We are looking for volunteers to join our team!

The Ottawa-Gatineau crew strives to make Darshan a memorable event for our spiritual community and we need your help. Mother Meera Society is a nonprofit and 100% volunteer-based organization. We are expecting roughly 400 guests on Dec. 7th. There are many volunteers positions such as greeting, hosting, and setups. The major portion of the work is done on the weekend of the Darshan (Dec. 6th and 7th ). We also need help with putting up posters prior to the event.

Please contact Reza at Reza.shadman@gmail.com, or 6137940677 for more details.

ON TIES

By Laurie Fraser rom What I Can Tell, energetic ties appear as cords joining 2 people. They run between chakras, usually second chakra to second chakra, but sometimes heart to heart. They can be any colour but usually black or orange, like an extension cord. They can be thin as a thread or thick as a tree trunk, like one of those bundles of cables that run under oceans.

Ties are created by shared experiences, a matter of reaching out to give and receive, often with love. They can be created with the purpose of gaining energy or control. Sometimes these “power cords” are disguised as loving. Some ties are pure emotion- like guilt.

It is best to cut ties even when the relationship is strong and good because ties throw your energy offbalance. This is similar to wearing stones/crystals for long lengths of time. Your energy adjusts for them, thinking they’re permanent, like compensating for a bum knee. Healthy energy flows around healthy bodies without interruption.

Even when cords are cut, new ones will continue to reach out and grow.

Cutting ties does not affect love. It is safe to cut ties with family members etc.

F

How I Know This: I am often directed by peoples’ energy to cut ties in healing sessions.

Interestingly, the person who has lost ties with the client will often get in touch within a day “to see if you’re okay”. This person is likely noticing a lack of power if they are energy suckers or if they control the client in some way. They will send out more ties immediately.

(Yeah, you have to keep cutting them. I have cut ties with my mother for years.)

I have been directed to cut ties for: • Myself, when a friendship ended abruptly.

• A young woman who had been abused by her father as a child.

• A depressed empty-nester whose children had flown.

• An older woman feeling bullied at work.

• A child who was bullied at school. (Teaching him how to cut ties every day gave him a sense of control.

In fact, the bully became interested in torturing others instead.)

• A widower still had numerous thick ties with his wife who had crossed two years earlier. (He wanted to start a new relationship but felt stuck, unable to clean his wife’s things out of the house and move on.

Within 2 months of cutting ties, the house was sorted & a new woman was in his arms.)

• A married man with a schizophrenic parent.

(Mother’s manipulative energy entwined everywhere. To release him, I cut circles all around his body and limbs, in front of each eye, fingertips etc.)

How to do it: You don’t need a healer to cut ties for you. You don’t need to see the ties in order to cut them.

Take a moment to focus. When you think of this person, where do you feel it in your body? If you do feel something, remember to cut ties coming in at that point too.

Say loudly and clearly, and mean it: “I am the only authority in charge of my Being. I cut all ties between my Self, ___________(full name) and __________(full name).”

Make a cutting/slicing motion with your hand across the front of your body, or use a stainless steel knife. Do this from your throat area right down to your pelvis in one sweeping motion.

Say: “So be it and so it is.”

Only Compassion

by Amâeil, Energy Psychotherapy and Ascension Healing

I

f you’ve ever suffered any sort of trauma, whether that’s a serious accident, a sudden loss, betrayal or illness, you know how much pain that can bring.

Experiences like these can be quite devastating, draining your life force. If the painful energy isn’t released, it lingers with regret, guilt, confusion, self-doubt, anger and many other imprints. So it’s important to do one very simple thing: acknowledge to yourself, “This hurts.” And when you do, love yourself deeply.

You’re very blessed if you’ve experienced just one trauma. In truth, many people in the course of their lifetime have at least a few, and with each also come unexpected, secondary losses. Traumas often begin in childhood, ones you remember and those that you don’t, like birth trauma.

And there’s more. You’ve lived not just this one life but many. Each life held several traumas, and left unhealed, they can continue to influence you now, triggering repeating and painful patterns.

You also hold the memories of your ancestral lineage, and all of humanity’s history – it’s in your DNA. So the trauma from the collective consciousness impacts your experiences. You, like everyone, hold layers of traumas!

LUCASNAULT ECO-URBAN ORGANIC HAIR STUDIO

All this can feel really heavy, with or without your complete awareness. Your heart and soul has been through a lot. While life is breathtakingly beautiful, the journey of rediscovering it can be hard. So how can you have anything but the utmost compassion for yourself?

But do you? Do you compare yourself to others and think you’ve fallen short? Do you criticize or blame yourself for your missteps? Do you try to push past your painful emotions or tiredness? Do you feel all alone in your pain?

In these instances, soften your heart to yourself.

These hurt – be gentle. Don’t make life harder. Only self-compassion can heal. Reclaim your peace.

Introduction to Unity: Principle #4

T

his is the fourth of five articles on the principles that shape our beliefs at Unity Spiritual Centre Ottawa.

The principles reflect the laws of the universe and apply to everyone, all the time. If you share our beliefs in these universal principles, please come join us. All are welcome.

Unity Principle #1 states that “God, or Spirit, the Universe, the Divine, is Absolute Good, everywhere present.” The second Principle takes this idea further, stating that we are the expression of the Divine in human form. Principle #3 says that human beings create their experiences by the activity of their thinking; everything in the manifest realm has its beginning in thought. Principle #4 deals with communion with God, specifically with prayer and meditation viewed through the context of the first three principles.

If God is within – and not someone we have to petition for favours – why pray? And, if we are already creating our experiences by the activity and direction of our thinking, what use is prayer? In Unity we believe that prayer strengthens our communion with God, reminds us of who we truly are as expressions of the eternal life force and lets us align our feelings and thoughts with our highest good.

Ellen Debenport, author of The Five Principles, reminds us that Jesus said “Ask and it will be given.” Asking is not beseeching; rather it is focusing our thoughts and aiming our intentions. As Debenport states, “Prayer is the time we take to … align ourselves in oneness with the divine and affirm that whatever we need is already ours.” Jesus taught us to pray in utter confidence when he said “Whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it and it will be yours.” This affirmative prayer and the practice of meditation is how those who follow Unity principles commune with God.

Are you looking for non-intrusive way to eradicate negative emotions: fear, anxiety, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, sadness etc? Tired of medications with side effects?

Exploring the Akashic Records

O

ne of the most courageous things we can do in life, is look within and spiritually connect to all our relations … the two legged, the four legged, the wing ones, the gilled ones, the angelic realm and spirit guides.

As humanity moves forward into a higher vibration of energy on the earth plane, the Akashic field of energy is available to assist and to support you on your life spiritual journey. It is here, where your spirit guides, angelic realm and the animal spirit guides share their loving words of wisdom and guidance with you in a healing environment of unconditional love, light, respect and without any judgement. By working in your Akashic Records and recording your spiritual journey’s progress on a regular basis, you begin the spiritual journey of balancing your physical, mental, emotional and spiritual well being and connecting to your soul’s truth!

We all experience moments in our lives when we feel so exhausted by our frustration with a physical or emotional struggle, which leaves us feeling life is unbearable. However, when we reflect upon these many issues, we also begin to notice negative patterns, that keep repeating in various aspects of our lives and feel unable to end the painful cycles. However, what fewer people experience is the powerful role our Akashic Records play in all of this and by learning how to access them, on your own, or through an Akashic Records Consultation, provides a perfect opportunity for spiritual, emotional, mental, and physical growth and healing with our friends, family, business colleagues, lovers and most importantly … ourselves.

How Accessing Your Akashic Records Leads to True Happiness and Peace: 1. Empowering you to seek physical and mental healing.

The Akashic realm is an energy healing realm where you can clear out trapped energies, limiting belief systems and images that you hold of yourself … and see how the quality of your life improves.

2. Empowering you to resolve and release physical and emotional pain.

The management of chronic pain is not well understood in the medical community. However, touching on the science side of the Akasha and the human body from the perspective of quantum physics, once you shift your vibration through an Akashic Records cleansing, the underlying causes of chronic pain can often be healed.

3. Empowering you to discover your soul’s purpose.

Understanding your soul’s purpose and what you most wish to accomplish or contribute, is the corner stone to helping you make different and more purposeful and fulfilling life choices. The information you gain from

Tone.ca

an Akashic Records Consultation can also give you the boost in confidence you’ve been needing, in order to get going with the idea or projects you have felt were right all along, even when you didn’t understand why.

4. Empowering you to connect to the animal kingdom and angelic realm.

While humans are here using their left brains and their minds, animals are experiencing with their right brains and their hearts. They are much closer to the angelic realm and the spiritual world, but they don’t have the logical capacity of humans. Some animals incarnate in service to humanity, while others serve the planet and yet others to experience and grow spiritually through life on Earth. Nevertheless, more than ever before the animal kingdom and angelic realm is urgently trying to connect and communicate with humans through the Akashic Records and share their knowledge and words of wisdom with all of us.

I invite you to embrace your courageous spiritual journey, through the energy healing realm of the Akashic Records, where I will assist you using my psychic mediumship gifts of clairvoyance, clairsentience, and claircognizance to decipher the messages from within your individual Akashic Records. This spiritual journey will take place in my office space, where I practice my “Spiritual Energy Medicine Healing” … surrounded in the beauty of the Misiwe Ni Relations Healing Lodge in Manotick, Ontario, www.misiwenirelations.ca. Please feel free to contact me directly at (613) 612-5028 to schedule your Akashic Records Consultation.

Regardless of one’s present circumstances in life, we must always strive to reach out and help another human being. The act of unconditional kindness towards a fellow person has some very powerful consequences.

I observed this firsthand this past Christmas Season when I signed up to deliver food hampers to needy families in my neighbourhood. In one case, I presented myself completely unannounced at their door to deliver the 15 or so grocery bags. It was a powerful experience for me to witness somebody go from surprise, then bewilderment, then complete gratitude as the bags were being brought into their house. Hugs were exchanged, then I left. All this took less than 2 minutes.

Random Acts of Kindness have powerful energetic consequences for both the Giver and the Receiver as the body’s “feel good” chemicals are released into our bloodstream. The Giver will feel a sense of pleasure as this is taking place, raising his personal frequency to an even higher level than before. This is also true for the receiver as he or she moves from a lower emotional state like despair or fear to one of hope and gratitude.

Interestingly enough, scientists have been able to measure the same kind of positive responses on people who are witnesses to these Acts of Kindness.

If you are the Giver, do this from a place of pure love. If you are the Receiver, your job is to accept the gift and simply say Thank You. If you are the Observer, acknowledge what you are seeing saying Thank You to the Creator for bringing these two people together and making this happen. In Gratitude.

It Is Time To Move Forward Channelled by Lisa Virtue

I

t is time to acknowledge yourself as the divine master you truly are. You are the light of the world, in the world, of the world, yet not of this plane in origin.

You are by nature the magnificence you appear to be seeking. Seeking so diligently, so fervently at times.

You have found yourself in part. Enough to begin and venture down a path of enlightenment or self-discovery or self-expansion. You have delved in to new worlds of wonder, and events, circumstances and abilities far beyond what your former, much younger self may have even imagined as possible, let alone achievable by you.

So if you have come this far already, what is holding you back from realizing yet more about your true nature, and manifesting from that point of being while here in this world? We say there are more conditions you have undergone than you care to admit, or have been conscious of for a long while. Congratulations to you for taking an interest in your own development and freedom from old, unsupportive ways of being. We invite you into this next phase of your evolution of self.

For you must have felt it already, this pulling, this desire, perhaps this shaking up of life around you and within your sphere of operation. You are on a quest that has many levels, phases and advancements. Yet does it not also show you the flip side? The times where it seems to dip farther that you’d ever care for? This exploration of life takes you to many places and adjustments. Many growing opportunities and lessons, once lived, to be cherished.

So hold to your knowing, dearest ones. This knowing you have inside you that you too can and will venture further than you ever imagined still.

We are always here to support you and encourage the lessening of your grip on the veil. Fear not dear ones, it is not a bad thing that awaits your attention to inner calling. It is only your heart expanding and inviting you to share in the majesty.

We leave you for now with this note of encouragement.

You are beyond the point you thought you were. You are

much further along than you see. We see and know that you are. We invite you to open further to the possibility that it truly is okay and welcome for you to claim the knowing and integration for yourselves.

With greatest of love from beyond, The divine ones around each of you.

Lisa Virtue is a healer, channel, and teacher. She facilitates the exploration of your essence and invites you with a gentle and loving presence to reach beyond the limits you have accepted for yourself. Reaching beyond allows your true self to shine through in more moments and create your loving world.

Discover Your Magnificent Self This winter, escape to beautiful, tropical Uvita, Costa Rica to join Lisa for a truly transformational retreat.

You will discover your amazing brilliance and work with tangible ways to tune in to your inner guidance in the day-to-day. Your light is waiting to burst forth and show you, the most important one, how truly incredible you are. What could be more important than finding that loving connection to yourself? It is what your entire life is created from.

The Pachakuti Mesa Tradition:

Cross-Cultural Shamanic Arts for Personal and Planetary Renewal Do you seek harmony, health and community in your life?

Wishing to experience a deeper relationship with nature and unseen realms? Are you called to a path of healing service?

“The PMT apprenticeship has changed who I am to the core and given me the ability to navigate life with grace and purpose.

Connecting to this lineage has healed parts of me that were disconnected or broken. It has given me words for truths that I have always instinctively KNOWN, and given me a community of family that understands the world in the same way. My path of service is clear and I feel empowered to follow it with joy, wisdom and support.” ~ Alaina H., Sebastopol, CA

This Apprenticeship has been carefully crafted to offer people from all walks of life a heartfelt initiation into the healing power and earth honoring ceremonial artistry of the Pachakuti Mesa Tradition (PMT), as originated by world-renowned kamasqa curandero don Oscar Miro-Quesada.

Inspired by the living soul which sustains the various ancient traditions of Peruvian Curanderismo, the Pachakuti Mesa Tradition maintains contemporary relevance in its dedication to compassionate personal and planetary transformation.

Sanctioned by the PMT Lineage and by don Oscar, curandera and stellar teacher YOLA DUNNE is offering the PMT Apprenticeship in Chelsea, Québec with two alternative opportunities to attend Part One, The Call to Heal (see below).

As a PMT sanctioned teacher, Yola draws on over 30 years of practice and experience in the healing arts. Her path began in 1993 in the Dür Bön Tradition, a pre-Buddhist shamanic tradition of Tibet where she assisted in many ceremonies. These profound experiences paved the way for her service as auxilia (ceremonial assistant) to don Oscar, and her deep apprenticeship in the living lineage of the PMT. Yola serves her community with a thriving private healing practice, ceremonial offerings, and workshops.
