oga was a last resort for me after physiotherapy, massage therapy, and old fashioned ignoringthe-pain. I was in my last year of my undergraduate and improper running form had pulled my right patella almost completely to the right side of my knee, and the results were burst blood vessels, persistent inflammation, pain, and limited movement. Stairs became my nemesis. My mother had suggested I try yoga, but since she was a yoga teacher, I was skeptical at best. Having exhausted other options, I finally took a private class with her teacher – a strong, stylish woman who told me, “Kathryn, we don’t believe in bad knees – only tight hips!” She taught me a course of self-care that rehabilitated my knee to a place where I could practice drop-in classes, eventually Pilates and Power Yoga. Healing my knee was just the first step though, because I had accumulated a lot of sadness and self-doubt along with the weight I had gained. e

I remember my frustrations on the mat in those early days. I was attending a studio that taught a very athletic, challenging form of yoga, and I struggled to hold many basic poses. When the teacher suggested that negative thoughts should be examined and released, I thought something I can’t put here in print. Through the strengthening of movement-based yoga, I was able to create a foundation for other activities and regain the confidence I had lost. My body awareness improved drastically, so I was much less likely to sustain injuries. I became much more careful and kind with how I spoke to myself: yoga helped me cultivate self-compassion. I also stopped swearing in my head at my teachers.

613-761-9642 (YOGA) www.pranashanti.com

In short order, I became a teacher (eager to not be sworn at), to share the type of tough moments with my students that I’ve lived through and blossomed from. Yoga doesn’t have to be hard or emotionally challenging, but when life presents hardships, yoga cultivates skills to navigate them with greater ease. It’s true of both our physical and emotional experiences. If you’ve never tried yoga before, try many teachers and studios or ask your yoga friends who they go to and why they like them. You can’t try yoga just once and decide against it – that would be like trying “food” and saying it’s not for you! Remember that everyone has their struggles, what differentiates us is whether we do something to empower ourselves to take the struggle out of our life., or continue to reside in a place of powerlessness. We always have to let go of something in order to receive, and I’m so happy I let go of my stories around I can’t, embraced I will, and eventually, I can.

Q. Do you believe some people are on a higher plain than others? A. I believe that we each of us is at his or her unique level of evolution. Moreover there are different lines of development. For example one may be far more advanced emotionally then others and able to empathise deeply, but not as developed intellectually or mathematically. One could be very advanced in many fields but perhaps less able to manage financially . This viewpoint provides us with the ability to recognize that someone may be more developed then us in some ways, while in others we may be more advanced. Everyone has their own perspective on life. I see our journey on earth as being one of learning. Often that involves humbling lessons wherein we realise we still have a lot of work to do on certain levels despite being very developed on another. I believe that learning and expanding makes for a rich life. Q. Do you think that you are on a higher plain than many of us? A. I may be more developed spiritually then some but less developed in other areas. And even on the spiritual level, I believe that expansion is on-going. None of us can claim perfection. Because of this, I believe in cultivating a beginner’s mind. This means an attitude of humility with the understanding that I will go on learning throughout my life. I also strive to keep an open mind to seeing things differently. Someone else may see things in a way that is new to me and helpful in my own evolution. This is how I came to study hypnosis, adding this modality to my services and really enjoying its remarkable potential.

It also means that there may be unknown issues, yet to be discovered. That is OK. It is all about being authentic. For example, one of my clients said that she came to realise that unknowingly she was being greedy. This was an utter revelation for her and generated a paradigm shift. She felt lighter, stronger and more balanced once she faced it and learned to release it. She realised that she wanted to be more ethical as it was a far superior and comfortable way of being. My training and background in meditation and hypnosis has allowed me to reach a level whereby I can help people on their journey. Just like others have deeply inspired me and contributed in many ways to my evolution. We truly can help and inspire each others. To be continued next issue. Lynne Cardinal is a Certified Consulting Hypnotist with the National Guild of Hypnotists, holding additional certifications in Hypnosis Innovative Techniques and Weight Loss.

Shamanic Medicine:

Sigil Power: Part 1 in a series

of Shamanic Medicine articles by Christina Masotti

hamanism has been practiced worldwide for thousands of years. It is the oldest known way of healing and connecting to spirit. Though shamanic medicine practices have variations from the different lineages globally, there are fundamental similarities found throughout. Within the pathways of Shamanism, some of the common threads include: plant medicine healing; interconnection to all that is; traveling to other worlds; trance; connecting to the power and totality of the circle or medicine wheel; working with spirit animals and guides; journeying with teacher plants; dream work; body painting; sigil and symbol magick; alchemy; ritual and ceremony; communing with the spirit world; and being a bridge to the spirit world for others. In my experience, one of the most powerful alchemy workings has been dreaming with sigils (symbols). A sigil is like a picture, speaking a thousand words. In my lineage of knowledge, on the medicine wheel, the following energies overlay each other through the gateway of the southwest: Symbols, The Dream, Archetypes, and The past. A sigil is birthed from this gateway. It is archetypal and rooted in our subconscious. It is an image developed to the most refined simplicity, yet it contains a world of knowledge and meaning. Sigils can be created for countless reasons and can be imbued with power. A once closed symbol (the unknown), can be opened and accessible, formed by the soul’s recall, reaching beyond memory. A personal sigil then forms an imprint. Images engage the limbic brain, which connects to emotion. In feeling there is power. That which can be remembered from something as simple as a sigil is beyond words. It is a body of energy and information that instantly re-engages one into their subconscious knowing.

You might create a sigil after being guided in a shamanic trance journey, ceremony, or vision quest. In shamanic trance journeying you go into the deep pool of the other worlds, while remaining conscious of your experience. You shift into theta brain waves, which allows you to see what is in your soul’s creation that may not be accessed otherwise. Perhaps you are journeying to retrieve lost power, medicine, or past lives for integration. Journaling about the experience afterwards is common and beneficial, but taking that experience and creating a sigil synthesizes the whole into a visual embodiment. Images work with the right brain, connected to the dream and the subconscious, whereas words engage the left brain. I have both journaled and created sigils after ceremony and it is through my sigils I find the most power. In my upcoming workshop: The Base Medicine Wheels, Keys, & The 20 Count, offered February 20th – 22nd, 2015 we will be working with sigils and shamanic journeying. Other upcoming healing workshops offered this spring and summer are Healing The Broken Circle: Body Image, and Journeying the Dreamworld.

Are You Giving Away Your Power?

oes attaining your goals seem harder than it should be? If you feel challenged to achieve your desires, you may be building up false obstacles to your objectives. When we do this, we give all our power and attention to these imaginary ideas. In reality, this is simply a delay tactic. So how would you know if you were building false obstacles and giving away your power to them? Here are some ways this habit tends to manifest itself. Relationships Perhaps you want someone to laugh with, to love, or to marry. But instead of focusing on that goal, you decide that there are all these other things that have to be done first. For example, maybe you want to get into better shape before you can meet someone, or lose another 20 lbs. Or maybe you need to get your finances in order and save a little money. Perhaps you “need” a better job before you can settle into that perfect relationship. All of these prerequisites are creations of your mind. You can go about dating just fine without getting a new job first. When you’re looking for a lifelong partner, you want to be with someone who will love you whether you’re 20 lbs lighter or weigh just what you do right now. Social Life Maybe you have the partner you want and that dream is well under control. Now you long for an exciting social life filled with fun, friends, and adventure. Getting out of the house on a regular basis seems like a great opportunity. So why don’t you? Perhaps you haven’t felt able to let go of the less fulfilling social relationships you have now. Maybe you spend all your energy on the belief that you’re not interesting and no one would want to be your friend. Are these ideas helping or hurting you? You might even give all your attention to relationships you’ve formed online or with TV characters on your favorite shows. Are these things part of your vision for your perfect social life? Career Perhaps your social life and partnership are just fine. Your goals now include a career that’s interesting and fulfilling, one that fills you with a sense of accomplishment and pride. You want to make a significant difference in the world. You want to feel excited, passionate, and motivated. But instead, you stay at a job you dislike in order to make ends meet. It’s amazing how much power bills have over us, when they’re just little pieces of paper

with a few numbers typed on them. So many of us use our bills as an excuse not to find a career that we love. We devote our energy toward the belief that we can’t do what we want to do because we have bills to pay. Imagine for a moment what your life would look like if, instead of focusing on bills, you spent your energy executing a plan to create a career that gave you everything you really want. Where would you be five years from now if you did this? Where will you be five years from now if you keep doing what you have been doing? How to Stop Stalling and Start Living So you’ve established that you do give away your power to obstacles you’ve created! What do you do now? First, determine what you’re afraid of. Tell yourself you can have everything you want. Be specific about your goal. Then listen for a negative answer inside of yourself. Often, this will manifest as, “But I can’t… (I never, I won’t, there’s not enough…).” Once you know what your “buts” are, you can assess your fears. “But nobody I really like would want to be friends with me,” is really you telling yourself, “I’m not good enough.” Get the idea? Instead of using your power to achieve your goals, you’ve been giving it to a false belief that you don’t have what’s needed to accomplish what you want. Now you have all the key information to keep from giving your power away. Next time you’re thinking about how much you want to achieve your goals, listen closely for that voice that says, “But…” Then, use your power to tell yourself the truth. You are good enough. You are skinny enough. You are lovable (responsible, capable, motivated…). If you find that you have trouble talking back to the negative self-talk, there’s no shame in enlisting professionals to help out. A counselor or mentor can aid enormously in this process. Ultimately, your goal is to use your power to benefit you, not to tear yourself down inside. Even if you just take the steps given above and never do anything else, you’ll find yourself closer to reaching your goals than

All We Need Is Love

The question I am asked most as a Tarot Consultant is: Will I find love?

ove is one of the greatest things we can be given by another person and yet it has no form, no shape, nothing we can touch and yet it can fill up our bodies, our hearts and our souls. It’s a beautiful thing. All the readings I’ve done as of late have been about love or finding love. I have happily done the readings but urged my clients to think of questions that would further their personal growth. I’ve come to realise that love is part of any healing process. Self-love should come first. However, when we don’t have love from another, we are always searching for it, always wanting it. We aren’t a species meant to be on our own; love should be a constant. We have family and friends that love us, but it’s not the same thing as having romantic love. Someone to wake up with, to fall asleep beside, to pick you up when you are down, to lend support when you need it most. When I was on my path to love, the first question I asked a fellow Tarot reader was “Will I find love again?” I had just ended a really bad relationship and had one failed marriage behind me. I wondered if I would ever find it again, whether or not it was in my path or in my cards. Thankfully, the cards said I would, but they urged me to love myself first. I thought I already loved myself. I went on a few disastrous dates. They all ended badly and I knew that these men weren’t right for me, that they were repeats of past relationships. They were doors I didn’t want to open.

 So I took the card’s advice, asking questions like “What do I need to know?” and “What do I focus on?” and “What is the next step on my path?” and “What do I need to do to better myself?” Throughout the next few months, I focused on self-love, on being good to myself, and more that on actively loving myself. It wasn’t easy. However, the cards were there every step of the way to guide me along, giving me advice when it looked as if all hope was lost or giving guidance and support when life was dark. Love is one of the emotions that we cherish and need the most. Why wouldn’t we want to know if or when it’s coming? After all, I did; everyone does. If you’d like a Possible Love reading, a spread I designed myself, come in and find out what the cards have to say. See what, or who, is in your future. Or, if you have a question about your current relationship, come visit me at Planet Botanix or request a long distance reading. Until then, Namaste!

Patience is a Virtue for the Unyielding by Amâeil (Melinda Urban RIHR) Healing with Divine heart to awaken the deep truth within.

atience is a quality of goodness that serves as a spiritual force for personal and collective peace. The more we anchor this frequency within, the more the gifts of God’s grace can be imparted to us and through us. But we must prepare our spiritual house for their welcome: the central nervous system must be recalibrated to allow the body, mind and heart to unify into right alignment, to allow for right action. For this reason, we commit to being in right relationship with God, and clearing the barriers to a strong spiritual foundation. The AoA Hieros Gamos System, a multidimensional healing intelligence template, was given to humanity for this precise purpose of restoring our 12-dimensional manifestation blueprint/Tree of Life. Patience honours the true creative process of our spiritual-energetic nature. I can’t imagine that the tree tells itself to “hurry up and grow”, or that the sun gets irritated by the clouds. In the same way, we can live and assimilate each new moment, in trust, without expecting it “my way”, or demanding it “right now”. We associate patience with the passage of time: prolonged tolerance, enduring challenges, or delayed gratification. However, our inner state of being is more important than time. In truth, in patience, we make a disciplined choice to accept what is in the moment, the beautiful or painful, and witness it with what is beyond time and space – our infinite consciousness. This is where true harmony and all possibility exists. We choose this faith in our Higher Guidance one moment at a time, thereby discerning the right time to engage or allow. The effortful can then become effortless, and adversity a blessing. Impatience is the resistance we create when we work to push past ‘now’ and focus on the future, losing our truth to negativity. We move away from our inner Spiritual guidance, and rage, anger, frustration, or anxiety can take over. Our bodies contract. The effect on the central nervous system and brain can lead to confused thinking, disorientation, and disconnection from the God-Self. Karmic consequences can be created. Impatience is an extension of the spiritual abuse that has been imposed upon humanity by the dark energies/archons. Mind control programming, and technologies, have blocked and damaged our nervous systems, also disabling our brain processing and DNA. So, consciously choosing our patient responses to our circumstances and “rewiring” our brain patterns with healing is the way to our freedom. When we are impatient with ourselves, we can yield to this resistance at the edge of our comfort

zone and effectively move through our long-standing blocks to being naturally Christic in Spirit. If we drop self-judgment and demanding self-expectations, we cultivate unconditional self-acceptance, and then the same respectful tolerance of others. It takes great patience to heal, and patience is very healing. Our energy fields need to organically integrate our Lightbody activations in synergy with the Intelligence of this Universe and the planetary changes. Otherwise, the central nervous system can become quite taxed. To push or rush healing is ego’s impatience. When we respect the pace of our healing process we bless ourselves with optimal receptivity: gentleness, understanding and acceptance. During our planetary ascension, patience is essential for unprecedented transformation. What we have come to expect and have taken for granted is falling away to reliance on new ways, and we are likely to meet inconveniences, unexpected surprises, and hidden pain. During these experiences, the Spirit of Patience can help us to make wise choices with our personal energies and resources, and revalue aspects of our lives. The virtue of patience is necessary for expansion: it grounds us into the deep trust of God’s grace. It is a steadfast companion, the gateway at the 11th hour, the frequency that can dissolve the most difficult blocks, and the gift that can soften us into love.

The Journey Home To Yourself Rev. Sherry Harris, MSW, RSW, Psych-spiritual counsellor, coach and teacher

here did I manage to lose myself if I need to come home? I know I came in knowing who I was, a child of God/ Spirit/ Consciousness. So what happened that I forgot? Conditioning is what happened. Being raised by unconscious parents who had forgotten who they truly were is what happened. You as a spirit being chosen to come in to experience Consciousness in form, knowing you would forget who you were until the time your soul had contracted to start the awakening process. You picked your parents, your location of birth to maximize the soul learning you chose. Before making the plunge back down the birth canal into density, the human form, you knew it would be tough, but you also knew there would be help along the way in the form of people and teachings that would lead you back to yourself. For me, that help came in the inner child teachings. Accessing my inner child, my repressed subconscious emotional self, allowed me to heal the broken connection between heart and mind and allowed me to lovingly nurture the free child inside me, as she is the Divine Being who bravely ventured into this dimension to continue growing in consciousness. My journey with my inner child was the most loving and beautiful act I ever did for myself. It helped me to heal the wounding that was keeping me trapped in fear, anger, anxiety and depression. My little girl who longed to be skipping, singing and laughing was huddled inside in a tight little ball, afraid to be seen, heard or touched. She had tried so hard as a child to stay connected to her God Self, but human conditioning kept knocking her down, kept her small and powerless to express her real, big. Self, Infinite Consciousness. Through the inner child work, grown up me, although still wounded, took on the role of the healed, healthy adult parent to give that precious child inside everything she needed to grow up loved, encouraged, supported, valued and adored. I, being the adult that remembered not getting those things, knew exactly what she needed. Through months of tender approach I got her to talk to me, to express the pain and fear she carried and to give it over to me for releasing. We talked, we played, we shared and she grew to trust me as she has never been able to trust anyone, even herself. As the trust grew, the sharing continued and the healing happened. My little girl inside spread her wings and took off expanding into her full potential as a Divine Being living in a physical body. No longer filled with fear, rage and grief she lighted up like a Christmas tree, radiance and joy flowing from her. And as she healed so did I.

Chant to Transform Your Finances

By Master Lynda Chaplin Most people think about their finances every day. Many people have financial challenges they wish to transform. The last ten years have brought more and more financial challenges and other challenges on Mother Earth. This is part of Mother Earth’s transition period. For millions of people, transforming finances is vital. The root cause of poor finances and all kinds of financial challenges is negative karma. There is only one way for you and any person to self-clear karma. To self-clear karma is to offer good service to others, to make others happier and healthier, and as well to offer good service to help humanity and Mother Earth pass through this difficult time of transition and purification. To offer good service is to create good karma. Creating good karma reduces your karmic debt. If you offer good service, you are given virtue from Heaven’s virtue bank to your virtue bank in your Akashic Record book. This good virtue comes to you in the form of Heaven’s flowers. The virtue or flowers are spiritual currency. It repays your karmic debt step by step. You must clear your karmic debt first. When this root blockage is removed, then you will have the possibility of seeing your finances flourish. Virtue is yin money, which is currency in the spiritual

world. Money on Mother Earth is yang money, which is currency in the physical world. Just as a human being needs money to spend in the physical world, a soul needs virtue to spend in the spiritual world. The onesentence secret about the relationship between spiritual money and physical money is: Virtue in the spiritual world can transform to money in the physical world and vice versa. If you are wealthy, you have accumulated good virtue in previous lifetimes and in this lifetime. Some of this virtue has transformed to physical money in your present life. If you continue to serve well in this life, you will continue to accumulate good virtue. In future lifetimes, you could then continue to enjoy financial abundance. If you forget to serve, and especially if you go the opposite way and harm, take advantage of, cheat, or steal from others, you will create negative karma and lose virtue. Your good virtue in your virtue bank will be spent until it is exhausted. If you lack physical money, you do not have much good virtue deposited in your personal Heaven’s virtue bank. In order to transform your finances, the key is to increase your virtue. To increase your good virtue, serve others unconditionally. One of the most powerful spiritual methods for transforming your finances is to chant the Divine Soul Song Love, Peace and Harmony. To chant or sing Love, Peace and Harmony is to serve. To serve is to gain virtue. e

The Intoxication Of Expertise

n last month’s column, titled New Knowledge for a New Year, I wrote about the importance of obtaining accurate information about separation and divorce when faced with this life-changing event, and I mentioned I would be offering a free information seminar. This month, I want to expand on the purpose of this seminar. Yes, I believe there is a lot of misinformation out there that needs to be corrected. Yes, I believe that people gain some relief from the stress of separation when they have accurate information. Yes, I certainly believe knowledge can be power. But the real reason I am offering this seminar is to support couples in making their own decisions. I believe strongly in the right of self-determination, the right of every separating couple to make their own decisions. I also believe these decisions need to be informed decisions. I see my role as a mediator to give people good information about the family law of Ontario, and then to get out of their way as they decide how to use this information. If they decide on terms of settlement that differ from the law, that is their choice. I recently read an important article on client selfdetermination: “Reclaiming Mediation’s Future: Getting Over the Intoxication of Expertise, Re-Focusing on Party Self-Determination” by Baruch Bush and Joseph Folger, authors of the groundbreaking book The Promise of Mediation. Bush and Folger believe mediators have been seduced – they actually use the term “addicted” – by the “high” that comes from solving people’s problems, from being able to “take away the pain and frustration of unmet needs and tangled problems, applying their well-trained skill sets to accomplish wonders for eager clients who would otherwise suffer.” They call this “the intoxication of expertise.” I confess I have often been seduced by this. It feels good to be able to help people, to see them experience the immediate relief that comes from obtaining accurate information. Just this week, I spoke with a woman who had been separated for two years and was desperate to obtain a divorce, but who had been unable to get her

She thought she would never be able to get a divorce because she believed the required oneyear period of separation only started from the date an agreement was signed. When I informed her that “the clock starts running” from the date of separation, not the date an agreement is signed, her relief was so palpable she almost danced around the room. So, yes, it is important to me to give factual information to people. But here’s the thing. Unlike a judge, who says, in effect, “Here’s what the law says, and that’s what I’m ordering you to do,” a mediator says, “Here’s what the law says. Now, let me help you both have a conversation about how the law fits or doesn’t fit for you. Are there other values or priorities that are important in this family that should determine your settlement?” I will continue this important discussion next month. The seminar I mentioned will be held on Saturday, February 14, 9:30 am – 12 noon. Please email me for details. Evita Roche was Canada’s first full-time lawyer-mediator.

Vitamin B17 Contains a Killer Trojan Horse By Judy Spence, ND(QC), RN, R.Ac, CHt

itamin B17 is found in many foods such as lima beans and flax seeds. Foods containing significant levels of this vitamin are usually recommended for their other nutritive values. I was eating these foods for nutrition and was delighted to learn that they contain a Vitamin that specifically kills cancer cells especially when eaten New Patient Appointment Includes: The Clinic Offers the Following: before cancers organize or before MSA Pro computerized allergy > Nambudripad’s Allergy Elimination developed cancers have metastasized. Techniques - N.A.E.T. screening, an in-depth history review and a written report. > Sauna Detoxification This vitamin, commercially known > Ionic Foot Bath as Laetrile or Amigdalin kills cancer NAET includes energy balancing and > Lymphatic Drainage cells. It is available for purchase from energy treatment to remove physical > Acupuncture intolerances, nutritional Canadian stores on-line and it comes > Auricular Therapy and/or emotional blockages. > Hypnosis in higher doses and other formats from on-line American stores. Hence one can access Vitamin B17 in food or as a supplement. There are clinics in the US and elsewhere where it is administered in its potent IV format. Cancers produce trophoblast cells There is no irony spared when we learn that there and lots of them. On the outside of these cells is a protein layer which has a negative electrical charge. The is only one enzyme, beta-glucosidase that can unlock white blood cells of our immune system are negatively Vitamin B17 which (B17) is made up of two units sugar charged as well. Cancer’s trophoblasts (-) render and one unit of a cancer killing Trojan horse held deep useless our immune system because they repel our first within B17, the chemical cyanide and then to learn line of defence, our white blood cells (-) which should that this enormous quantity of cancer-preserving have instead protected us by attracting and binding trophoblasts have a great love for Vitamin B17 and that to cancer cells. We also rid our cancer cells by having they just happen to produce in very large quantity the key the pancreas produce trypsin that both aids in normal to unlock cancer’s own destruction, beta-glucosidase, food digestion and which also digests the trophoblasts an enzyme that releases the cancer-killing chemical, produced by cancers. Inflammation due, for example, to cyanide which is locked away in this little known and gluten or lactose or casein intolerances, etc. can weaken hardly promoted Vitamin. Finally, as if THAT was not trypsin production. If too much cancer is present and/ enough good news for one day, we also learn that we or if one’s trypsin levels become too low and cannot produce, in every cell of our body, an antidote to cancer eat up all the quickly reproducing cancer cells, cancer killing cyanide, an enzyme called Rhodenese which grows unchecked. Enter Vitamin B17. Vitamin B17 kills keeps us safe from naturally occurring cyanide. Nature cancer cells by literally poisoning them. Who knew that never ceases to amaze me. She is infinite in her wisdom. a vitamin that provides beneficial nutrition to us at the Studies shows that tribes that consume foods same time kills cancer cells? containing high levels of Vitamin B17 experience little Cancer’s lethal trophoblasts which are produced to no cancer. Proponents of the consumption of Vitamin in huge quantity and which immobilize the immune B17 have coined cancer as being an enzyme and vitamin system rendering it defenceless against rapidly deficiency.

Rheumatoid Arthritis and Acupuncture By Steve Ryu, R.TCMP, R.Ac.

heumatoid arthritis is a chronic inflammatory disorder that affects the lining of the joints, causing a painful swelling that can eventually lead to bone erosion and joint deformity. This condition is an autoimmune disorder where the immune system mistakenly attacks the body’s own tissues. Rheumatoid arthritis can cause symptoms of joint pain, swelling and tenderness, as well as red and puffy hands, firm bumps of tissue under the skin on the arms (rheumatoid nodules), and morning stiffness that may last throughout the day. It can also affect the whole body with fevers, fatigue, and weight loss. Rheumatoid arthritis tends to affect the smaller joints first, such as the wrists, hands, ankles and feet, but as the disease progresses, the shoulders, elbows, knees, hips, jaw and neck can also become involved. Symptoms may vary in severity and may come and go. Flare-ups of disease activity alternate with periods of relative remission, during which the swelling, pain, difficulty sleeping and weakness lessen or disappear. Doctors don’t know what causes rheumatoid arthritis, though it may have a genetic factor that is triggered by environmental factors such as a bacterial or viral infection. There is no cure for rheumatoid arthritis, and treatment involves managing symptoms to prevent flare-ups and further progression of the disease. Western medical treatment may involve medications to reduce joint inflammation, relieve pain and prevent or slow joint damage; physiotherapy to teach better movements to protect the joints; and in severe cases, surgery. In Chinese medicine, rheumatoid arthritis is considered a “bi syndrome”. “Bi” means obstruction or blockage, and bi syndromes are characterized by an obstruction of qi-energy and blood by wind, cold, dampness, or heat. This causes symptoms of aching, pain, heaviness, numbness, stiffness, redness, and swelling. Bi syndromes usually arise because of an underlying weakness or imbalance in the body that makes us vulnerable to injury or disease. Bi syndromes that lead to rheumatoid arthritis typically arises from an imbalance of the kidneys, because of their role in the functioning of the bones and marrow, and the spleen, because problems with the spleen can lead to internal dampness in the body, as with joint swelling during a flare-up. The liver is also often involved with rheumatoid arthritis, because liver dysfunction can lead to blockages of qi-energy and shortage of blood, and the liver is also closely tied into the health of the tendons and ligaments. However, rheumatic arthritis may have different causes depending on the person, and determining

the organs involved is done by looking at the specific symptoms for each person. In this way, treatment is tailored to the individual’s symptoms and constitution, to better target the causes and relieve the symptoms. Acupuncture has a lot to offer those suffering from rheumatoid arthritis. It offers a healthy way to manage the symptoms of the condition, helping to reduce pain and inflammation and prevent flare-ups from occurring. Acupuncture improves the body’s healthy functioning, including the immune system. It is also very effective for the relief of pain and inflammation- in the case of rheumatoid arthritis, relieving joint pain and stiffness and helping the joints to function more healthily. For those who suffer from rheumatoid arthritis, acupuncture offers a safe and healthy option to help manage the condition, prevent further progression, and enjoy life symptom-free.

Doing The Same Thing and Expecting Different Results

CREATE CLOSER LOVING RELATIONSHIPS

By Marlene and Bob Neufeld

n the November TONE magazine we wrote about joining the World Beyond Blame Global Movement. This movement is ongoing and you can join any time. Go to http://worldbeyondblame.org/ and you will get 90 days of hints about how to shift out of blame. One of our clients heard about this and asked some interesting questions. She took this to mean that she would have to “just live with” whatever her partner was doing that she didn’t like. Her thoughts about living with her complaints led her into an angry victim mode. We reassured her that this wasn’t necessary. However, trying to change something in another person can be tricky. Many of you have heard the quote, which is attributed to Albert Einstein, that insanity is doing the same thing over and over again and expecting different results. How many of you have tried to change something in your partner over and over again? If you’ve been trying to change the other person using blame, then you reliably get resistance. Here’s our basic rule. If you’ve tried to change someone’s behaviour three times and it hasn’t changed, the problem is not the behaviour itself but how you’re approaching it. You need to change the way you perceive the issue. Instead of blame, you could try saying something unarguable. For instance, Bob might say to Marlene, “when I came downstairs this morning and saw dirty dishes on the counter, my jaw got tight and I made up a story that you don’t care about keeping our kitchen clean.” Or try listening generously to your partner. Bob might say tell me more about your take on dirty dishes and then listen until he learned something new. Or you might get into a positive space of joy and

generous appreciation first. This morning, Marlene suggested to Bob that before we continued our discussion, we both do our joy moves and then a 30 second hug. After that, the discussion was very different. The key is seeing yourself, the other and the issue from a different perspective. Marlene had an ongoing issue with Bob not turning lights off. This morning when she walked into the bathroom after Bob had his shower and there were two lights on, she smiled, shifted into appreciating Bob being in her life, opened up to seeing how he had left the bathroom in a hurry because of another request she had made and felt a sense of expanded love towards Bob. As Gay Hendricks has said “Love others exactly as they are and they are free to change.” It’s not too late to join the World Beyond Blame Global Movement (worldbeyondblame.org). Blame has never changed anything for the better. If you want to learn more about this topic see articles on our website or come to The Transformational Toolkit Feb. 27-March 1, 2015.

Your Guide to Hypnosis and Cancer Therapies

By Dr Luke Michael Howard www.lukenosis.com 613-878-5874 magine yourself in a quiet, secure setting with someone you have learned to trust. You are focused on your breathing, allowing your body to experience a deep state of physical relaxation and comfort as you consciously follow the lead of your facilitator. Later, you may visit a serene meadow or travel deep into the structure of your own body, exploring the operation of your immune system. In a few moments, you will open your eyes felling relaxed, alert and at ease. Hypnosis is defined as a state of heightened awareness coupled with a deep sense of physical relaxation while remaining focused on a single idea or series of related ideas. It is not unlike the experience of becoming engrossed in a movie or a good novel and losing track of what is going on around you. Hypnosis is not a surrender of control or a deep unconscious sleep. While hypnotized, you will never do what you would not normally do in your regular conscious state. In fact, hypnosis is the most natural of mental states; it is a state that allows access to your deepest subconscious patterns of behavior and response. When someone is confronted by the specter of a cancer diagnosis, the fear of the unknown begins to take over, both for the patient and the family. This alone can contribute to an enormous level of anxiety and worry on top of the normal stresses of day-to-

day life. Many times, someone facing the prospect of aggressive medical treatment protocols will feel a sense of helplessness and a loss of control over his or her own life. Hypnosis is a powerful tool for creating new, more effective coping mechanisms to manage these stresses with a sense of control while in the healing process. Regaining that all-important sense of control and reducing the associated stress and anxiety of coping with cancer allows the perspective of hopelessness to become one of hopefulness. From the pain of surgical recovery to the resulting nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and loss of appetite from chemotherapy, modern medical research is beginning to uncover the advantages and effectiveness of hypnosis as a tool in managing these issues. Serious research into end-stage cancer treatments and hypnosis was first conducted in 1978 and noted in the best-selling classic, Getting Well Again. While using a variety of hypnotic techniques, many of the symptoms of nausea, vomiting, diarrhea and pain were reduced or eliminated. More recently, in eight separate studies published in the International journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis regarding pain management using hypnosis, 75 percent of the people experienced pain relief, compared to the control group that did not have access to hypnosis. In another controlled study published in the Journal of the International Anesthesia Research Society, patients who received hypnotherapy before surgical procedures experienced less anxiety, reduced pain, less blood loss and a lower incidence of post-operative nausea and vomiting.

Then Dr. Luke Michael Howard can help you even when nothing else has worked. With he's specialist brand of Gastric Band Weight Loss Hypnosis all the way from the UK. Dr. Luke, owner of the LUKEnosis, is a Hypnosis Weight Loss Specialist, has a Masters degree in Hypnotherapy as well as a Doctorate in Psychology. Dr. Luke has been studying Hypnosis for over 17 years now and has trained all over the world. After over a decade, Dr. Luke is still the youngest person 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 over eaters into empowered, slim & in control people in just 5 sessions. He says “This technique is so powerful we are achieving a 80% success rate. This is incredible when you think that Weight Watchers are only about 30% successful at best. This Powerful Non-surgical procedure has been well documented or FOX,CBS & ABC News as well as the Dr Oz Show.

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 Hypnoband 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 Lapband hypnosis, SO CAN YOU! The good news is that this incredible method of Losing Weight is available locally. The bad news there usually is a three to four week waiting list for an appointment but even the medical profession believes it’s worth waiting for

“I walked out 25lbs Lighter!” Kate had been over weight for the majority of her life- nearly 27 YEARS! She had tried every type of Weight Loss Gimmick, Diets, Supplements, Gym Memberships even Personal Trainers but nothing worked, until she met Dr. Luke. She recently sent him this follow up email: “I promised I would do a testimonial for you. Here it is: The hypnosis TOTALLY worked...not only have I lost 25lbs I have not eaten at timmies...I have had NO DESIRE TOO!!! It really has changed my life!” Check out more testimonials at: www.lukenosis.com you can contact Dr. Luke at 613-878-5874 to arrange an appointment.

Even though hypnosis has been used as an adjunct to medicine since the 1950’s, there was little understanding about how it worked. For years, positive results were observed in areas from pain management to treatment of anxiety, trauma, IBS, and depression. With the advent of the modern technology, Positron Emission Tomography (PET) scanning of the brain during hypnosis, we are now beginning to unravel the mystery of how hypnosis works. We experience our world through our five senses. Information we receive stimulates certain areas of the brain, is processed and is then sent to the areas that control higher functions. When someone is hypnotized and given suggestions of imagery while their brain is being scanned, areas of the brain are stimulated as if they were actually experiencing the events of the guided imagery. In other words, the mind does not seem to know the difference between what is perceived by our senses and what our imagination can experience in the deeply relaxed trance states of hypnosis. Our physiology will respond in the same way as if we were truly experiencing the changes in the environment. So, if someone believed they could see, feel and taste the cool refreshment of a mint leaf whenever they were beginning to experience the unpleasant feeling of nausea, that new sensation would replace the unwanted sensation. Or, if one were to imagine their favorite place, a beautiful high mountain lake, surrounded by peaceful high mountains, sitting comfortably enjoying the experience, they would not notice the discomfort of the needle biopsy in their physical body because a pleasant

detachment has taken place. A patient may be aware of some pressure, but they will not experience the pain, anxiety and tension associated with the procedure. A cancer patient can also become proactive in the battle with their disease by using hypnosis and guided imagery to get in touch with their immune system. Through hypnosis, a patient can visualize their body fighting the cancer, becoming healthier and patient can visualize their body fighting the cancer, becoming healthier and removing the invader. They are able to “see” the chemotherapy drugs doing their job and help their body eliminate the toxins from their system. These are only a few examples of possibilities used in hypnotherapy. However, the most effective suggestions are tailored specifically to the individual’s needs, personal preferences and the way they individually process language. Once a patient has experienced deep trance states of guided hypnosis a number of times, techniques of self-hypnosis are easily taught. Hypnosis then becomes a tool that can be used at any time to facilitate recovery. The primary goal of hypnosis as a compliment to medical cancer therapies is to return to the patient a feeling of control and a greater understanding of the body-mind connection. This creates the best holistic combination medicine can offer, coupled with the power of the subconscious mind. When someone faces a serious illness from an understanding that they are in control and are empowered by their medical treatment, the prospect of success, as well as their sense of overall well being, is greatly improved.

The Story I make up about that…. ……may or may not agree with yours. In fact, my story about any particular thing, event or person may no longer be up to date with my own reality. Every thing, event, and person we perceive is translated by us into an impression we can understand through our limited organs of perception. That understanding happens against a background of personal experience/history, social and cultural factors/ pressures, as well as an inherent genetic lineage weighing in. The new science of epigenetics (http://www.nature. com/news/epigenetics-the-sinsof-the-father-1.14816), sees that we have inherited inherited perspective and bias. The end result is our stories. We carry them bravely forward as fact and reality – always looking for where they are a match with those around us. One of the most freeing shifts I have made is to begin many of my sentences with, “The story I make up about that is….” I feel the alignment

with what is really going on inside my thought producing factory. There are no inherent right/wrongs, good/bads, black/whites, either/ors. There are only a vast array of possible translations of vibrational impulses meeting each of our unique palettes of translating components and settings. The next time you catch yourself about to argue about anything – • How best to cook an egg • which is the quickest way to the grocery store from here • how immigration policies ought to be designed • how God really prefers to be worshipped begin your sentence with, “The story I make up about that is….” The story I make up about the best way to cook an egg is… and I notice the space I have created for myself, for my blossoming ideas and for whoever I am speaking with. There is room all around my story for possibilities and for other interesting stories. Celeste Susan Vermette, Life Coach magicalstepscoaching.weebly.com/

Don’t Give Up

f I don’t tell you these things, later you may blame me; because you didn’t have the information needed to make best choices. To inhabit a body in Earth-zone is a privilege. You are in fact a being who contains a vast spiritual universe. Success in this body-zone comes by investing in your higher spiritual awareness. Pray, sing, do yoga, meditate, give thanks, create, heal, study. That spiritual universe is your home and soon you must go back home. So that means, try to make the best of this temporary bodyexistence. Avoid trouble, try to keep healthy, seek joy; then you will be applauded and rewarded when you get back home. You did your best. That’s good enough. Nobody is perfect here. Maybe things look bleak at the moment but that’s because humans can only see point zero zero one of reality. Reality is bright; reality is hope. You get to take home your ability to feel joy and love. So don’t give up. It’s important that you are here. --Carlos

Change your coffee, change your life! By Rishma Peera

n our pursuit of good health, we constantly strive towards eating healthy, exercising and doing all the right things. For coffee drinkers, one simple switch can make a huge difference! A number of us have experienced health care professionals try in vain to convince us to stop drinking coffee or we ourselves realize that the caffeine creates highs and lows in our bodies. While highly unlikely that many of us will decide to quit, we look for healthy alternatives. The best option I have found is coffee infused with ganoderma. I made the switch and became so convinced that I became a distributor and am on a mission to inform as many people as possible. Infusing a healthy herb in something that most of us do not think twice about consuming is a genius idea! What is ganoderma? For thousands of years, Ganoderma lucidum has been recognized by practitioners of traditional Asian medicine as the highest ranked of all herbs found in the Chinese pharmacopoeia. The Chinese name for Ganoderma, Lingzhi, means “spiritual potency,” while the Japanese name, Reishi, can be translated as the “King of Herbs.” Ganoderma Lucidum contains more than 200 bioactive elements that are known to improve health.

Organic Germanium (Mineral) • Increases oxygen in the blood system • Reduces fatigue & increases vitality • Eliminates acidity & regulates pH • Improves metabolism • Prevents against cell & tissue degeneration Polysaccharides (Carbohydrate) • Strengthens the body’s Immune System • Balances blood sugar level • Improves pancreatic functions • Eliminates viruses, toxins and other infections Adenosine (Protein) • Improves blood circulation & blood detox • Boosts energy • Helps to unclog arteries plugged with fatty deposits • Supports liver & digestive system function • Reduces cholesterol and body fat Triterpenoid (Lipid) • Has insulin-like action • Builds resistance against stress and depression • Inhibits allergies, relieves sinus congestion • Helps with respiratory problems Vitamins & Minerals (Food Enzymes) • Regulates metabolism • Assists during bio-chemical processes in the body Ganoderic Essence • Rejuvenates the body’s tissues and cells • Boosts all the body’s functions • Overcomes skin disorders: psoriasis, bug bites, sunburn, mouth ulcers and external bleeding Change your coffee, Change your life! Join the movement of ganoderma infused coffees, teas and nutraceuticals! Rishma Peera is a Certified Reflexologist with a home-based practice in Westboro (www.reflexologybyrishma.com) and an independent distributor of ganoderma products.

NOTE – If your final number adds up to double digits, add the numbers together again, and again, if you have to, until you get a single number. If you still have trouble, email me at lbaird@istar.ca 1. OK, it is full steam ahead for you, NOW! This is a very important month if you are looking for a better job, title or money. Throw your hat in the ring and go for it. It is all about ACTION! 2. It is time to close the door on some of the relationships, my friend? Ready or not some new ones will come and some old ones will go. Also focus on clearing away your old projects, legal matters and taxes, now. Elimination is the key word for you this year. 3. Take time to finally digest and heal from the issues from last year. What kind of garden do you want to grow this year? Learn from the past. The seeds planted now will grow this year, as long as they are watered with the right kind of stuff. 4. How are you doing? Situations connected to your home, career, health and relationships are all in your face, now, and you might feel totally overwhelmed. You must refuel and take care of yourself, first. Make time for this. 5. If you are in a rut of any kind you must make a major decision and take action to get out of it, or it will be much deeper and tighter by the end of the year.

Promoting yourself, your gizmo, or your specialty would serve you well, now. 6. Are you in the process of building or renovating a house or new relationships? This is the month to get organized, committed, and focused. You will also need to spend more time with your loved ones, as they may need you more. 7. Major changes are coming to you this year. Grease up your hips well put your hard hat on tight and prepare yourself for sudden twists, turns and slaps in the back of the head. Use this slower month to prepare yourself for these many changes. Refuel yourself. 8. Does your house, car or home life need some TLC? Is there a big purchase that you have been considering? You can buy a new home now, and move into it now or later in the year. All things “domestic” are the focus in 2015. 9. You will find yourself doing much more soul searching than you normally do, this year. Can you take a sabbatical or a good part of the year off? Try to focus on yourself more and you will do well this year. Depression can creep in, so beware. Some periodic mindlessness with help you cope.

Vision the Ecovillage e have talk-meets exploring ideas for rural co-op living. Talking and listening allows a person to get a little more clear in her or his own vision of the ideal. Most people have a desire/dream to live in a natural setting. A group of supportive co-residents or close neighbours makes a better quality of life. Some want a separate cabin & garden; others want a shared residence & working together. Your vision of ecovillage communities is needed to create a positive future on planet earth. This echoes the thought of Siberian wise woman, Anastasia (Ringing Cedars books). The bright vision of human civilization is ecovillage: living in cooperation with the natural/ spiritual worlds and other people. This vision includes new and old technologies that people control for themselves. Your thoughts join with others to form the vision needed by younger people. A realistic vision of peace and abundance in cooperation with each other, nature, and the Creator. On a practical level it’s feasible for dreams of rural community life to become reality. One challenge is that people aren’t used to engaging with others in inter-active situations. It helps to have a larger, common goal -- a mission or matrix such as helping the developmentally disadvantaged (Camphill Village, etc.) or running a healing spa or preserving a natural area. At the Eco-Village project, not far from Ottawa, learning how to live & work with others and the natural world seem to be a central purpose. The philosophy from which this local Eco-Village project emerges is expressed in the book, “Life, Money and Illusion: Living on Earth as if we want to stay” and at www. SustainWellbeing.net

Pathwork: Ego’s Role in Becoming Authentic

Pathwork Lecture Discussions

s the ego a good thing or a bad thing? Should I be trying to let go of my ego entirely in order to transcend it? The goal on a spiritual path is to live – in as many moments as possible – from the real self, the source of everything that is life-expanding, beautiful and wise. And doesn’t my ego get in the way of that? The Pathwork teachings make a distinction between a healthy, strong ego and an ego which is either under or over developed. We need a strong, healthy ego in order to live our daily lives well and to create the structure and practices that can allow us to open into our authentic, real selves. The areas in our personalities of under or over ego development cause us to be either too defended and rigid to allow expansiveness or too fearful to trust the real self. Hence the importance of strengthening the healthy ego which has the capacity to let go into a greater reality and a deep trust of the real, inner self. The healthy ego’s job is to let go of the tense, anxious self-will and replace it with a relaxed, flexible will functioning based upon discriminating reasoning power, intuition and the choice for the higher inner guidance of the real self. Pathwork Lecture 132: The Function of the Ego in Relationship to the Real Self offers insight into the nature of this relationship and how to recognize areas of over or under ego development. This will be the topic of the February 9 (Monday) Pathwork Lecture discussion at Saint Paul University, 7 to 9 pm, 233 Main Street (follow the signs to the room).The Pathwork Lectures are available for free download from www. pathwork.org

Sri Chinmoy Answers Question: I am wondering if perhaps the best way to find real peace would be to withdraw from the world?

SELF-DISCOVERY through

MEDITATION Free Ongoing Classes

SRI CHINMOY: If you think that you must withdraw from life in order to achieve peace then you are making a serious mistake. In withdrawal, our satisfaction will never dawn. It is in activity that we progress and achieve. It is in action, in fulfilment, in creation, in manifestation, that we can be satisfied. However, we have to know that peace will never come into our lives if we expect something from our action. If we expect some particular result from our action, we will be frustrated when the result does not meet with our expectations. We will feel that we have failed and naturally there will be no peace.

Instead, we have to feel that action itself is a great blessing and the result of action is just an experience. From our limited understanding, we see a result as either a failure or a success; but in God’s Eyes, failure and success are both just experiences which help to develop our consciousness. Whatever happens, we should see it as the experience that God wanted to give us. Today He may give us the experience of failure. Tomorrow He may give us another experience that will satisfy us outwardly. If we live a spiritual life, no matter what result comes to us from our action, we shall be satisfied. When acting we have to expect only the fulfilment of God’s Will. Let us look at a river. The river flows constantly towards the sea. It carries all kinds of rubbish—dirt, stones, leaves, sand— that it picks up as it moves towards its goal. Nevertheless, it always continues flowing towards the sea. We should also think of our lives as a river running to the sea—the sea of fulfilment. If we become still and inactive either because we do not want to get involved with the imperfections of the world or because we are afraid of failing, then we will never reach the goal. You may say that you do not know where the goal is right now. No harm. Just move. If you go in the wrong direction, soon you will realise it and go in another direction. Eventually you will reach your goal. But if you do not move at all, there is absolutely no hope that you will go in the right direction. Activity is always far better than inertia. We have to act. If we withdraw from life then we are consciously and deliberately telling God that we do not want to be players in His Game. The world has to be accepted and faced. If you do not accept it, the world will remain as it is and then you will feel miserable that you have done nothing for the world.

Redemption – Gold Medal Winner Ian Prattis

edemption is the Gold Medal Winner in the general fiction category of the 2015 Florida Book Festival. The awards ceremony is on January 31 in Orlando. Here is a recent Press Release about this award winning book. Novel chronicles Scotsman’s personal ‘Redemption’ Ian Prattis shares allegory of prevailing over personal demons, triumphing over life’s hardships

Pine Gate Mindfulness Community Nucleus of Friends for Peace Canada Teachings every Thursday 7.00pm - 9.00pm Pine Gate Meditation Hall 1252 Rideout Cr, Ottawa, ON K2C 2X7 Contacts: iprattis@bell.net carolyn.hill@bell.net • 613 726 0881 http://www.ianprattis.com/PineGate/ before grave misunderstandings tear his love, Catriona, away from him. He then drives himself and his crew to the very limits of endurance before his mother’s death makes him snap. He enters the dark zone of alcoholism and withdraws from society with only his animals keeping him on this side of sanity. His solitude is broken when a family with a small girl comes to his house to seek refuge from a storm. Slowly he edges away from his self-destruction as he saves the girl’s life in a winter blizzard. The glimmer of awakening dawns in him, he sees his life pass in front of his eyes, setting the stage for the final drama that illuminates the resilience of the human spirit. From the rhapsody of an idyllic childhood through traumatic tragedies to the derelict zone of alcoholism and then a state of awakening, Prattis depicts the stations of a personal Calvary that ultimately lead to “Redemption.”

OTTAWA, Ontario – From author Ian Prattis comes a moving tale of personal “Redemption” (published by Xlibris) based on his very own life and how he faced and overcame the many vicissitudes of fate he encountered. In this allegory the character representing the author embarks on a hero’s journey, as memories are retold as epics reflecting the great adventure and great struggle of life. The story follows Callum Mor, opening with his childhood in the Hebrides, islands off Scotland. He draws wonderful mentors to him; his schoolteacher, who lights the spark of a bard in him, animal friends such as an otter, a brutal fisherman who shields his darkness from the boy as he matures, and others. Callum Mor thrives despite the poverty of his home, as the island life is suffused with gentle humor and adventure. Things begin to change when his father is driven to madness and when his brother is murdered at Montreal. Callum Mor stays with his mother and forgets his yearnings to be a writer. He becomes the best fisherman in the region

My brother… my teacher…

ike the majority of people on the spiritual path, I can pinpoint a period in my life when I was propelled into searching for answers to big questions. This point, for me, was when my brother passed over in April 2011. Until then, I’d been very interested in esoteric matters…but his passing launched me headlong into finding out as much as I could about the nature of existence. My desire to connect with Lee is insatiable… it is so strong. He is like a powerful magnet that keeps pulling me further and further towards understanding how our realm and his realm are blended together. I have been fortunate to have studied with many great teachers in the Ottawa area, and taken many courses. But, still, I feel my greatest teacher is Lee himself. This is in part, I believe, because his desire to connect with me is just as strong as mine to connect with him. Also we have a mission and purpose to merge our energies for other reasons – as part of the bigger picture. I have learnt, through him, that we are always connected to our loved ones in spirit …and they walk with us always, within our hearts. A part of their energy is always there…and the clearer our energy field is, the more clarity is possible in the connection we have with our loved ones. It is through Lee that I am being guided to really feel into the multidimensionality of the Universe…and of us. It is as though he is pulling me ever so gently forward along a path, where I am blindfolded, and yet totally trusting in his guidance.

What is Peace?

eace. What does it mean, for you? We desire it, we call for it, we raise banners and march for it…. we have even gone to war for it. (I’m scratching my head on that last point, are you?) Why has this Peace been so elusive? While writing my novel, Each Time She Wakes, the following line manifested: “Peace—the sound of his fears surrendering to her love”. It was by this light that I sensed the flicker of hope. Peace is surrendering your fears to the power of Love. Hope turned to faith as I said the words again. Peace is surrendering your fears to the power Love. Once I understood this simple message, my own life took a different path; I no longer grasped onto my lucrative consulting business. I chose to follow my bliss of completing the novel. The more I connected to the Light of this truth, the more Love it shined for me.

THE SEARCH FOR TRUE HAPPINESS by Deborah Soucie-Landers Human beings have eternally searched for happiness in their lives and yet many questions remain as to how to find true and lasting happiness. The following questions will be examined in a new light :

Is happiness just a word without any tangible meaning ? Can we find happiness in our chaotic world today ? Does our happiness depend on others ? Does a more spiritual existence lead to our ultimate happiness ? ORLEANS, Wednesday, March 18, 2015, 7:00 pm Orleans Public Library, 1705 Orleans, Ottawa

Over several months and a couple of years, I continued to let go, one by one, the road blocks I had set up for myself. Slowly, my path opened and so did my heart. I surrendered each fearful event to the power of Love and trusted that everything will be ok. Each day, I invite my spirit to guide me by the Light of Love within. It is a conscious choice I make each time my ego attempts to use fear. I now “choose Love”. Admittedly, I am a work in progress, but I choose Love in my thoughts, words and actions. I choose to surrender my fears to the power of Love. Will you?

Assaulted by the Universe Written by Alexis Nicol

Have you ever heard of the premise if you don’t listen to that inner voice and make some changes in your life that you might just get hit upside the head by the Universe in order to finally be forced to make them? I’ve been watching my son go through a horrific ordeal of having been brutally beaten, nose broken in four places, piercings ripped from his face, a shoulder badly fractured and compacted from pounding kicks and more. He’s had to endure two surgeries within two weeks and it won’t end there. He will have to go through months of physical therapy and then there’s the emotional pain. He is angry and afraid. He is probably angry that he is afraid. I know in my heart that the Universe is trying to get a message through to him. I’m not sure what it is, but It felt it was necessary for this to happen for him to listen, grow and make some changes. Since this will leave him without the full use of his dominate arm for at least eight months, I figure the Universe knows that he’s going to need this much time to do some introspection and deep inner work. Sometimes we get so stuck in our pain and anger that we fail to see anything that we should be grateful for. As much as I want to heal my son, it is up to him to take the steps necessary to bring out the light in his situation. He is hurting and I am unable to fix him. As a “healer” I just want him to get it. I say to myself, “I can see it why can’t you!” I am reminded that I can’t fix anyone. It is up to each and every one of us to heal ourselves. Yes, I can be an instrument towards your healing, but ultimately it is up to each of us to figure it out. There are symbols and signs and guides all around us, if we listen and open our eyes and hearts we will be able to improve our chances of healing all the quicker. What will it take? Why are some of us so hardheaded? When will I learn to let go and allow the Universe to do Its thing and help my children? As a mother I instinctually want to protect and keep them from harm, so it is difficult to watch them suffer. I have to learn to step back. Perhaps if I stepped away earlier, he wouldn’t have had to have the assault to wake him up. Perhaps he would have figured it out on his own. I always thought that I’ve been a pretty open parent, allowing them to make mistakes and to figure things out on their own. Where is the line between parent and observer? Am I intruding? Am I being a bad parent if I’m not there for them? Do I do too much or too little? This is how I learn to heal, by constantly questioning myself. It’s amazing that when I finally “listen” the answer miraculously arrives. I know this can be difficult, especially when you realize that you might be a big part of the cause of situation. I know we like to blame someone else for things we don’t like or have

Recognizing that we need to make changes with the help of the Universe/Divine Love/God/Christ Consciousness (whichever one you choose) I believe is the most direct route to our wellbeing. It may not feel very easy at the time, we may even feel that we are giving up – we aren’t – we are allowing the Universe a way in. It isn’t a sign of weakness it is a sign of courage. If we are lucky, after we’ve gone through the storm we may even be able to look back and realize that taking the action and steps to our own recovery is a gift and something we can be truly grateful for. I choose to believe that every adversity is an opportunity for my spiritual growth and gratitude. What will you choose?

Our Eyes Are the Windows to a Healthy Liver By Teresa Yeung

There’s a Chinese adage that says: “Treat your eyes like your treasure!”

n traditional Chinese medicine (TCM), our eyes and the liver are closely related. The Chinese believe a strong liver and kidneys will prevent aging. The liver is our body’s most important organ after the heart, performing many important functions including metabolism, detoxification and the formation of important compounds including blood clotting factors. A weak liver may affect memory, sleep, thyroid, body weight and one’s mood. In hospitals, new born babies are checked for jaundice, a common liver condition that reveals a yellow color in the eyes and skin. In Iridology, (a system to analyze the health through reading the iris), every organ is connected to the iris, through the nervous system. The nerve fibers receive their impulses through the optic nerve, optic thalami, and the spinal cord. Naturally, when our eyes are strong, the energy will reflect back to all parts of the body, including the state of our liver. “Of our five senses, sight is the most important for leading a long normal life and stimulates the soul. If all the muscles in your body need exercise, and you know the feeling of sluggishness when you don’t get a work out, don’t your eyes feel neglected? I was taught the eye exercises by Master Wu. I will compare it to doing aerobics for the eyes; the whole body feels good when the eyes get their exercises.” -- Tony Yeung, PhD. (USA) Chinese Chi Gong (also referred as Qi Gong) Qi Gong’s popularity has grown as an effective treatment after Tai Chi and acupuncture, because of the Qi theory. Qi Gong is sometimes described as “acupuncture without needles.” A daily practice improves the flow of our life force energy or Chi. There are many forms of Chi Gong and they are designed for different therapeutic purposes. One form of Chi Gong that supports eye health and therefore the liver is Wu’s Eye Qi Gong® developed by Grandmaster Weizhao Wu. Story of Wu’s Eye Qi Gong® Many people are fascinated and touched by the story of Wu’s Eye Qi Gong® and how it was created. In the late 1980s, Grandmaster Wu returned home from a trip and found his mother’s eyes bleeding. The diagnosis was as a stroke and hardening of the arteries. According to the doctor, his mother was going blind. It would take years for her eyes to heal and the chances were slim. The Wu’s Eye Qi Gong® form was created almost

overnight to save his mother’s failing eyes and keep her from going blind. Wu taught his mother how to do his eye Chi Gong form and everyday he also performed concentrated chi healing on her eyes. Within weeks, his mother’s eyes regained complete vision and she was able to thread a needle. She was in 80’s! It was complete surprise to him and to the medical doctors. Between 1990 and 1992, Wu represented the Guangdong Province and Guangzhou City to lead a 100-person medical research team to conduct a threeyear comprehensive scientific study on the effects of Chi Gong on the eyes. It involved 4,000 volunteers to practice Wu’s Eye Qi Gong ® for various eye problems. The Wu’s Eye Qi Gong®. It proved to have more than a 90 percent success rate, and due to such a high achievement, Wu’s Eye Qi Gong® was introduced throughout China to physicians, educators and children through the public school system. To this day, students maintain a daily routine of eye exercises and very few of them wear glasses. He was highly regarded for his contribution and received many honours and awards. Wu’s Eye Qi Gong® since then has been used as a selfhelp tool for various eye problems, such as tired eyes, glaucoma, macular degeneration, detached retina and much more. The home practice DVD is the most popular and in demand. The Wu’s Eye Qi Gong® program consists of a series of gentle, easy to do eye movements together with a focused breath. It can be performed in a sitting or lying position. It is excellent as a prevention or support tool for improving the health of the eyes and liver. The teachings are comprehensive and educational. Students are shown step-by-step how easily they can perform the movements. The practice can be performed in as little as 10 minutes or longer, according to a person’s needs. Students report that practicing the Wu’s Eye Qi Gong®, using new refined techniques help with myopia, macular degeneration, blurry eyes, dry eyes, tired eyes, cataracts, headaches/migraines. It is a simple form that takes only minutes a day to practice, yet yielding immediate results. It is especially useful for those who are using the computer for long periods of time. Master Teresa Yeung is successor to Grandmaster Weizhao Wu who achieved the highest Chi Gong title in China. She is author of Life Force: Miraculous Power of Qi Gong and also founder of The Seventh Happiness School of Chi Gong, a registered private institute in Canada. Master Teresa designed the Wu’s Eye Qi Gong® into a 6-series program, available in a set of 3 DVDs or online digital download. Master Teresa will be returning to Ottawa end of March 2015.

Karma Yoga and Lifestyle By Rupa Manjari Devi Dasi

Yoga for the Self

arma means activities. Living in the world, everyone has to do something, to learn, to work, to play, to raise a family, and so on. And all the action has a reaction to follow it. For example, suppose I am doing business, I work hard with knowledge and earn money; then I enjoy the action (Karma). But, if I have lost all my money, then I suffer in the Karma. Similarly, in every part of our life we either enjoy or suffer from results of our work. This is called Karma. The effect is due to the cause we have done. This effect sometimes we can see at once, sometimes takes a longer time to show. It is like when we work, some employer will pay us at once; some will pay us in two weeks or one month. But, no matter how long, we know when we work, we get pay. Some of our Karma will take years to see the reaction, and we already forget the cause. Also, we take our own responsibility for our own Karma. A lot of people don’t like the concept of Karma, because to accept Karma means taking the responsibility of our own activities. When we are sick, most of us will just go to see a doctor and get some pills, but never think about the relationship between disease and what we have eaten, what we have done; never think it could be just because we are sleeping too late, or we eat too much meat. When the disease symptoms continue, we will complain the pills don’t work or the doctor is not good enough; never thinking about our own actions. When things happen, like children passing away when they are still young, then we will complain to God; why has God allowed these miserable things to happen. If we understand the Law of Karma, we know that everything that happens has its reasons. The cause is what we have done before, either in this life or in a previous life. We are suffering because what we have done. We cannot blame anyone. We have to take the responsibility of our own activities. But Karma can change. The lifestyle we choose frames the Karma we produce. What lifestyle we choose leads to a different quality of life. To have the ability to choose needs intelligence. We tend to live by force of habit. We need to know what sort of activity we should adopt to gain relief from the actions and reactions. The Yoga lifestyle is a disciplined life; we act with discipline and control, not through force of habit, but through wisdom. When we are acting in this way, then we are doing Karma Yoga. The basic guides of Karma Yoga are Yamas and Niyamas. Yamas are rules of conduct, which help to subdue the senses. Niyamas are fixed observances. They give us fundamental understanding of values, attitudes, principles and regulations. They are the basic guides on how to live.

Wishingtree Yoga Centre

Rupa Manjari Devi Dasi Director Yoga Instructor Meditation Mentor Spiritual Guide www.wishingtreeyoga.ca 613-271-8998 The five Yamas (rules of conduct) Ahimsa means nonviolence. A vegetarian diet usually is part of the practice of ahimsa, as obviously we will hurt other living beings when we eat meat. Satya is truthfulness. When we are searching for Absolute truth, we know only through truthfulness we can obtain the truth. That requires us to be true to ourselves and others, both in actions and expressions. Asteya means refraining from theft. From a higher consciousness perspective, nothing belongs to us; we are just consumers of resources. In the broader sense, everyone who accumulates more than he needs is a thief. Thus a simply life is the best way to practice asteya. Brahmacharya is often translated as celibacy. For our daily life, means no illicit sex. Aparigraha means one should not expect something from others. Applied to our life, we could offer help or service, but we can not expect in exchange money, special relationships, fame or even respect from others. We just do what we are doing. The five Nīyamas (fixed observances) Tapas refers to austerity or penance. Just like every country has laws and regulations, so does a Yoga lifestyle. When we voluntary accept these principles and regulations, we are practicing tapas. Svadhyaya means the study of what relates to Self. This wisdom is acquired through Self study and reflects the intelligence in daily life. Īśhvara praṇidhāna means surrender to the Supreme Ruler. This is a very important attitude for Yoga practitioners. We need this subordinate consciousness in our lives. Let our activities be under the guidance of the Supreme consciousness. Surrendering allows action without reaction and acceptance of things as they are. What we do is only to discharge duties---either duties we like or don’t like. By this way we become free from Karma. Saucha means cleanliness, purity. It not only refers to physical cleanliness, but purity of thought as well. When we purify our body, speech and mind, we then are able to have clear reflection of the Self. We will be able to have visions of the Divine.

Cabin For Rent

COSTA RICA CABIN RENTAL

Santosha is contentment, satisfaction. Yoga practice is meant to seek inner peace and happiness. We should know what happiness actual is. Some people when intoxicated feel happy at that moment. But obviously that’s not true happiness, it’s artificial. Real contentment is an experience; most of time can not show to others.

14 Simple Rules for Good Health (Part 3)

Traditional Chinese Medicine Acupuncture

Practical tips to keep you healthy and one step ahead of stress and illness.

By Blaise T. Ryan, R.TCMP, R.Acu | www.blaiseryan.com hese rules are meant to be simple. Truth and common sense are always simple. Not necessarily easy, but simple nonetheless, because health and balance should not be complicated. In the last issue I introduced the first three rules I use to guide my patients, and myself, to maintaining health and vitality. You can see all 14 of these rules on my website at www.blaiseryan.com/ blog. Now let’s look at the next common sense rules to staying in top form. Rule #7: Cleanse your body and sweat frequently. Not only are we exposed to many toxins in our food, water and air, but toxic waste is created internally as well. Our bodies are constantly consuming molecules, elements and nutrients that keep us alive. Through the process of consumption and energy expenditure, metabolic waste is created. This needs to be cleansed from our bodies. Just like the oil needs to be changed in your car at regular intervals, so should you cleanse your own body regularly too. We naturally cleanse through going to the bathroom, sweating, crying and sometimes even allergic reactions, skin outbreaks and symptoms of the cold and flu are part of the cleansing process. Make it habit to do an intestinal cleanse at least once a year – give your digestive system a rest from the stress. Sweating is a great way to release toxic build-up and stress hormones. Do some exercise, have a sauna or take a steaming hot bath until your pores open and your flush your lymphatic system through a good sweat. Rule #8: Every tear heals, don’t hold them back. I know this rule seems odd because our society has taught us since our childhood that crying is a sign of weakness or “big boys (or girls) don’t cry”. Unfortunately, this social conditioning has caused us to suppress one of our most natural self-healing mechanisms. There is a reason that babies cry. There is a reason that children cry when they are hurt (physically or emotionally). Crying is a way for us to heal from hurts – both physical and emotional. Studies have been done on the chemical make-up of human emotional tears and traces of stress hormones have been found in them. In this study, when they measured human tears caused by chopping onions, the stress hormones were not present. Combine this with your own experience of how good and clear minded you feel after having a good cry tells us that crying heals us. It is a way that our body can release toxic build-up. That’s why often snot and mucus can accompany tears during a good cry. So don’t hold

them back. Even if you are male and you were told that men don’t cry… go ahead and let them out if you feel your eyes brimming. You will feel much better afterwards. Rule #9: Exercise, move your body and breathe deeply. It doesn’t really matter what kind of exercise you do, as long as you move your body and breathe deeply. Cardiovascular exercise is proven to be good, but you don’t need to do it every day – as long as you do it sometimes. Find some form of activity that requires you to move around and do it a couple of times a week. Qigong, tai chi, yoga, cycling, walking, tennis, swimming, skating, skiing, team sports… there are so many options. Don’t choose something you “think you should do”, instead find something that you enjoy because then you will make more of an effort to do it.

CONNECT Channelled by Lisa Virtue

t is our great pleasure to come through to you today in this method of channelled writings dictated from audio. We come to assist you in this way for the purpose of connecting your Higher Self to your physical self in an improved manner. You are all bearers of Higher Self energy, yet it is the diminished flowing and allowing of that higher guidance that is the root of much suffering. What we wish to express is that you are loved and, at some level, know you are loved by the Universe. Yet how do you bring that into your current physical experience? Following your heart seems beneficial yet how does one allow oneself to be present with it? First we will state that there are many roads that lead to a greater connection. Part of connecting is when you feel a particular path that you are attracted to, that resonates for you, that feels like the right one. Then you have already begun consciously connecting with that higher understanding. Knowing who you are is also sought. Yet there is nothing outside of you. So many words spoken to draw you to your truth, yet they are but symbols. Which combination will be the ones to trigger your own self-discovery and awareness? Lisa’s current approach is helping others root out deep-held beliefs that are limiting, that are contrary to allowing their full expression, who they truly are. This has worked very well for many, many people. Getting to the bottom of why one is holding one’s self back can be a very liberating experience, life-changing in fact. So this is her method at this time for liberating people from their own blocks. She is also allowing this channelling, and we have dictated several articles to help you discover yourself. What is most important is that you are aware that simply choosing your method of approach to

self-discovery is part of allowing that greater truth to come through. So we say that all is already within you, meaning you already are all that you seek, yet you have amnesia. How do you wish to clear some of that? Perhaps you are primed and ready to drop it all at this moment. To simply leap into a new sense of being. You don’t need all of the procedures, you are ready to go. Where do you feel you are? How close are you to releasing? Are you able to ‘drop-shift’ as we would say, or do you think you would benefit by a little coaching along the way? Some assistance with guiding you to discover your limiting thoughts, the energies offering resistance. You have a magazine here filled with people offering their assistance, what permission slip do you need for change? Start by tuning in to your heart, your gut, your intuition, your feeling of what resonates most for you at this time. Each time you practice tuning in for your answers in this way, you are increasing your shift. You are connecting with your inner-knowing. You are allowing. Those of you who often read this magazine may feel you are beyond the scope of these words. That you have experienced much so far. We ask you to check within and see how these words we have written connect with you at this time. What is it there is to learn or reinforce, hidden in the depths of this article? If you followed the three lessons over the past months, again are you one who said “I already know” and skipped? Or did you take the opportunity to go back to the basics, the fundamentals? It is imperative that the foundation of your inquiry be secure. That even if you operate assisting others, that you too are reinforcing your foundations regularly. For it can be easy to move so far ahead that you drop off those basic, grounding, connection lessons. So assess for yourself where you feel you are at and how you are ready to proceed. Connect, connect, connect. You are loved beyond measure. Know that. Your Divine helpers in Spirit. Lisa Virtue offers several healing modalities to assist you in your re-aligning with your true self. She may help you in any number of ways. Connect with angels – Energy and chakra cleaning – Heal the roots of issues – Angel and crystal healing – Entity, sorcery and implant removal – Karma, Akashic records, Pastlives, Ancestors, and more – Property clearing – Pet healing – In person and remote sessions – Crystal store 613-296-4271 Lisa@LisaVirtue.com www.LisaVirtue.com Facebook.com/LisaVirtue01
