I went to a health fair and saw “free iris analysis” at her booth and I was curious about iridology. She used a magnifying glass and she told me that I have an issue of sigmoid, and I told her that I recently had a diagnosis of sigmoid. I’m amazed she discovered that. She recommended healthy foods to eat.

Tips for Filling Your Life with Things You Love

I

f you’re like many people, the stuff that surrounds you is just that…stuff. You have accumulated material items and many of them could disappear and you may never even notice that they’re gone. Shopping and accumulating things often starts off innocently and eventually it can become a bit of a habit.

Living a balanced life often means getting rid of the clutter and making sure that the items you have in your life are meaningful, valuable, and have a purpose. Let’s take a look at a few tips to help you make sure that you fill your life with things that you love.

1. Wait before buying. Whenever you have an impulse to buy something, stop yourself. Get in the habit of waiting 24 to 48 hours before you buy it – longer for more expensive purchases. During that time, assess the pros and cons of buying the item.

2. Do you want it or need it? We often buy things that we want but don’t really need. If you look around your home, chances are you can identify at least five things right now that you don’t need. Before making any purchase, make sure that it is something that you truly need.

3. Don’t buy it if you don’t love it. It’s a good rule of thumb. Before you buy anything, you must absolutely love it. Spend your hard-earned money on items that bring you joy rather than items that you think are okay or that you might use.

4. Do you already have it? It’s said that Imelda Marcos had more than 3000 pairs of shoes. Now shoes are something that you do need. However, you probably don’t need ten pairs of beige pumps or three black loafers. Before you bring anything into your home, ask yourself if you already have it or something close to it.

5. Does it have meaning? Many people get into the habit of buying relatively disposable goods. They are easily forgotten and readily replaced. As you shop for things that you need, consider making sure that the item is something that has meaning to you and brings value to your life.

6. Appreciate what you have. Take a look at the possessions you have around your home. Do you have memories associated with them? What value do they bring to you? For example, you might take a look at your worn kitchen table, a hand-me-down from your parents who bought it in the 80s. You may dislike the design of the table. But the table has been the center for countless family meals and wonderful memories. Focusing on that can shift your mindset and help you live well with what you have.

Be conscious of each and every item that you bring into your home and into your life. You’ll find that the

6

more thought you put into your actions, the less stuff you accumulate, and the items that you have in your home are those that you truly love.

SACRED GEOMETRY

A Tool for Expansion of Consciousness

S

acred geometry involves sacred universal patterns, most often seen in sacred architecture and sacred art. It is the study of shape and form, wave and vibration, and moving beyond 3D reality and the language of creation, which exists as the foundation of all matter. It is a vehicle of Spirit and has been called the “blueprint for all creation”.

By connecting with sacred geometries, we contemplate the Great Mysteries, and the Great Design. When we recognize geometric archetypes and their relationship to the underlying structure of the universe, we see clearly that there is no separation.

Sacred geometry has the ability to balance the human energy field and contains a complex informational system that can be used to access healing and growth in many dimensions.

The effects of this language are obvious when we journey to sacred sites. If you have visited a pyramid or a medicine wheel, walked a labyrinth, participated in a spiral dance or constructed a mandala, you have felt the effects.

The Hathors, who are an ascended intergalactic civilization, and who once assisted humanity in Egypt and other ancient cultures, have channeled information about sacred geometry through Tom Kenyon. According to the Hathors, there are three distinct geometries that we can work with right now, which have the potential to profoundly affect our consciousness.

They can open the doors of perception so that we can directly sense or experience our multidimensionality.

This experience could improve our overall brain function and quality and level of our intelligence, increase creativity and help us see new ways of perceiving situations. We could also have an increased sense of emotional wellness.

This information, and more, can be found in a book that we carry at Green Spirit, called “The Hathor Material”,

by Tom Kenyon and Judy Sion.

If you are interested in this subject, we also carry some wonderful sacred geometry oracle card decks, platonic solids crystal sets, crystal spheres, pyramids and spirals. And much, much more…. J Why not come and visit our shop – it just might be the perfect stop on your spiritual journey!

Our New Beginnings Rev. Sherry Harris, Psycho-spiritual counsellor, coach, teacher, healer

I

learned so much about myself last year. One thing I have learned which removes all opportunity for resentment to build--- is---- if it comes up, do not deny it. Work with it, express it, do not stuff it for fear of losing the love of others. If my buttons are pushed, they are my buttons and no one else is responsible for that.

When they are pushed I am so grateful to have a partner I can share my surprising reactions with knowing he knows it is my stuff and not his or his fault. If I have buttons, I can only be grateful if they are pushed. I can’t heal what I am not aware of..

One of the biggest things I learned last year is to not let anything fester. Let it out, express it is a loving and respectful way and do the digging work to find out where it comes from. Once I find the core belief I can heal it. If I do not get to the core, the same issue will be presented to me in many, many different ways. Our divine healer within never tires of bringing us issues to heal allowing us to release the emotional blockages and limiting thoughts that keep us from being all we can be.

When we take time to quiet our busy, busy minds, to meditate, or to be still in another way we will be shown what we need to work on. Spirit is always lovingly guiding us to remember that we are Love and to show us the steps to find our way back home to that Love within us.

What I want to learn this upcoming year is how to stay connected to my inner Self at all times, always being aware of my divine guidance within ---instead of sometimes operating from my ego self, who wants to be in control, who wants things her way and sometimes actually acts as if she knows best. What a joke. I desire to always be at peace with what shows up, not judging it, resenting it or pushing it away, no matter how uncomfortable it may be. I truly believe divine intelligence sends me what I need to thrive and by that, I mean, to grow in consciousness and to be open to the awareness of my true nature Love. I aspire to grateful in every moment for the magnificent gift of life and to remember who I truly am, God expressing, whether I am stuck in traffic jam or when having financial challenges or health challenges or I have just stubbed my toe, it is all meaningful and all for my highest growth and development. If I surrender and relax with trust into it, Divine Guidance will show the way for the most optimal healing. Or, I can resist it, try to manage it from the ego and make the healing more prolonged, painful and difficult. I wish for myself and all of us the gift of truly trusting Divine Wisdom so that worrying no longer happens. If I really trust everything is unfolding

My greatest wish for myself and all of us this year is to really live the Oneness we all talk about. To me it would unfold like this: I would judge nothing as good, bad, right or wrong as I remember that it is all God expressing.

I would know that saint and sinner, healer and criminal are all aspects of the same Source, God expressing in infinite ways. Each expression of God, every individual, all the beings on our planet are all in the perfect place for the next step carrying them closer to remembering who they are: Divine Love. I would remember that everything, every situation, every person that shows up in my life is there as a teacher and guide and that together we are all striving to be home in the essence of our being-- love and compassion.. Knowing that all is One and all is really me, I would stop complaining, stop saying things like “Isn’t it awful” which reflect victimhood and just start accepting everything as the divine teaching it is. I would realize the politician I don’t like is me, and the people I view as dangerous and extreme are me and the beautiful, kind , loving and caring people I admire so much are also me. I would remember the only way to raise consciousness in this world of ours is to Love it All. If we want separatism and inequality to stop it must start with us loving ourselves unconditionally and sharing that with all life.

Stop judging anything and keep loving everything.

Moving ahead in the new year I want us all to create what we want, visioning health and balance for ourselves and all life. I wish for us to not accept or put any negative energy toward what we don’t want for ourselves, humanity or the planet. I wish for us to live seeing only good coming for all of us, all life and to live seeing the New Earth, the 5th dimensional Earth, manifesting in harmony, love and unity. If we all work on this together we will manifest it more quickly. This

Living Spiritually L iving a spiritual life holds different meaning to all of us. To many, it is living with spiritual conviction that we are all one in GOD, that Love is the only reality and that everything else is created by thought, which in turn creates emotion, and in turn separates us from each other & the Oneness. For others, it can be as simple as going to church every Sunday and trying to be a nice person.

It’s easy to live in the faith that goodness and innocence exists and that the Universe works for good when everything in life is good, in place, and flowing. It is quite a different story when the challenges & difficulties of life pervade. Despite the difficulties of life that surround us all in the world and follow us along life’s journey, choosing a shift in perception from fear, anger, blame, guilt and fault to a place of acceptance, forgiveness, innocence, and unconditional Love, determines how we experience life.

Choosing to live a spiritual life is choosing to ‘un-learn’ from the material-centered world and move towards the heart-centered view, attuning to the spirit and the richer deeper dimensions of the human experience. It includes being able to see the innocence within another person (as in ourselves) and understanding that everyone acts or reacts from “where they are” along their own life or spiritual journey. When we can shift our perception from what has been done ‘to us’, to what has been done ‘for us’, we are able to view every challenge in our life as great blessings.

How do we achieve this Miracle, this Shift? First, we Acknowledge what has occurred in our lives and how it has affected our growth. Next, we Accept it as part of who we are, embrace it, and send it Love. Forgiveness of those who may have inflicted pain upon us comes next.

That is, forgiveness of the divine soul who is deserving of Unconditional Love just like oneself, not necessarily forgiveness of the action or deed, and finally, thanking GOD/ the Universe for the blessings and lessons that come with these our greatest challenges. Once we can move from a place of ‘victim’ and anger to the higher vibration of Love, miracles begin to happen. A dominoeffect occurs. Fear is released, blame and guilt are replaced with acceptance and truth, life begins to work in harmony and we are able to ‘BE’ wholly present, ready for new opportunities for even greater learning to present themselves. This shift to a higher vibrational reality attracts more Joy into our lives and in turn, affects those around us.

10

Applying our minds to learning about ourselves and others through prayer and meditation helps us to disconnect from the chatter, noise and conditioning of the world, moving us inward to a place of non judgement, acceptance, understanding and forgiveness, to a place of Grace. We begin to see the world for its blessings, its innocence and for what has been done right. We see the magic. After all, how we chose to perceive, think, feel act and re-act becomes our own reality, no one else’s.

To quote the wise words of Mahatma Gandhi - Be the change you want to see in the world…be the Miracle.

Come and enjoy a non-denominational Spiritual Sunday service at the Ottawa Spiritual Pathways Centre, where a meditation, spiritual Healing and inspirational discourse can help you to connect with the Oneness within.

Do you feel that you have the permission to be beautiful?

In a world of great demands and speed, it is easy to forget about the basics of life. To connect with life itself, to slow down and give ourselves permission to be beautiful, inside out, in the simplest purest way. It is essential to reconnect with a basic simplicity of life, a peacefulness that allows us to accept ourselves as we are, a gentleness that is healing, a trust in the goodness inside us. It is good for us, it is good for everyone else and for the entire world.

We all have a story to tell, it is our path, leading to our own evolution. Travelling along, we meet individuals of all types, some of which closed their hearts, maybe out of fear, or who simply didn’t receive help and guidance in their lives, people who choose to bully, intimidate or follow an unethical pathway. I feel a great deal of compassion towards them, and I do understand that they will have to learn, in their own way, that only love wins.

“Love is the only thing that truly matters! Nothing else!” Dr. Brian Weiss Studying regression therapy with Dr. Brian Weiss, he repeatedly said that in all the many years of meeting people, helping them to heal, he is left with one conclusion: love is all what matters.

I understand and see that we do carry our past. It is important to acknowledge our history, to look at it clearly for it to heal, and for the weight of it to be released. Very often I hear clients who weren’t protected by basic laws of the universe, such as being provided with a safe environment as a child, to be protected, held and guided. Laws were broken, and that generated pain and confusion. It is, however, possible to heal the past, release its impact on our present life and give ourselves permission to be beautiful, inside out. To accept and love ourselves and learn to offer a kind and compassionate presence for others, for the planet needs us.

Hypnosis is extremely efficient in allowing us to reconnect with our deeper, truer self. Hypnosis is based on a co-operation between myself and my clients, my role is to guide you and make suggestions. Once we agree we can empower them. The results are truly exceptional.

Lynne Cardinal is a Consulting Hypnotist with the National Guild of Hypnotists, holding additional certifications in Hypnosis Innovative Techniques and Weight Loss.

She has studied extensively with Thomas Hübl on Transparent Communication and Principles of Transformation. She is certified by Dr. Weiss in Past-Life Regression and she has a PhD in Eastern Philosophy from India. Lynne has been teaching meditation for over 40 years.

Friends of Jung Ottawa

T

he Friends of Jung Ottawa is a small informal group whose objectives are to hear and discuss the ideas of the Swiss psychologist, Dr. Carl Gustav Jung, and others influenced by Jung or who have taken his initial work in new directions in the half century since his death.

Our small gatherings may include a live lecture, DVD talks or workshops. DVD talks come from the online Asheville Jung Centre.

On breaks during talks, we enjoy small group discussions and snacks. We’re run by volunteers and are open to anyone.

We exist to increase our conscious awareness and psychological insights. Dr. Jung (1875-1961), cofounder of analytical psychology, was a one-time fellow psychological traveller and ‘chosen heir’ of Dr. Sigmund Freud. However, Jung deviated from Freudian orthodoxy to follow his own journey. Dreamwork is fundamental to Jungian analytic work, as is Active Imagination which can expand the information of a dream. From Jung’s insights arose the concepts of archetype, introversion/ extraversion, synchronicity, the shadow and the collective unconscious, words now common in our culture. The Myers Briggs Typology Index (MBTI) had its roots in Jungian psychology.

For over twenty-five years our forerunner, the C.G. Jung Society of Ottawa, welcomed speakers from far and wide to lecture and lead workshops in Ottawa. We Friends of Jung Ottawa, younger and smaller, are now a more informal group.

Some Friends of Jung pursue their individual inner journey with the help of a trained Jungian analyst, of which there are several in Ottawa-Gatineau.

Examining one’s dreams helps us understand our unconscious, and is a vehicle for each of us to consult with our own inner wise guide. This is transformative in our own personal growth by helping us understand important psychological truths about ourselves and our inner processes. Recent gatherings with Friends of Jung Ottawa have included: • live talks by local analysts on the Black Madonna, and on Loss and Grief; films on Dream • DVD Interpretation, psychological and spiritual interrelationships, and the Chinese I Ching YOU: are welcome. An open and curious mind will enrich your visit.

We meet on the second Saturday afternoon of each month, at the Centre Richelieu-Vanier, 300 ave des Pères-Blancs, Vanier. It’s accessible and offers bus access and easy parking.

For more information: Contact Pat Williams T: 613-408-3987 or E: patriciamarianw@icloud.com Or visit friendsjungottawa.wordpress.com

Our core sexual energy must integrate with our authentic spiritual power to fully address our daily issues.

As an integrative consciousness teacher, relationship coach and counsellor, I have 20 years of training and life experience supporting this emerging paradigm.

Access the root of your sexual pleasure and spiritual power through Divine Tantric Touch, Meditation and Ecstatic Embodiment Sessions.

Apologies and Conflict Resolution: A Proposal

s I write this column at the end of January, I am also preparing a proposal to present a workshop at the World Mediation Summit in Madrid, Spain this coming June. The theme for this year’s summit is The Art of Mediation: Designing Our Destiny.

I have had several thoughts about this theme. I like the word “art,” connoting as it does a process that is flexible and creative. In my mind it suggests the opposite of “science,” which brings to mind fixed rules and outcomes. I also like the word “designing,” as it suggests that we have control over our own future and can take deliberate steps to ensure a good outcome to our dispute.

But the proposal details go on to recognize the importance of emerging trends in mediation across the globe, including sports mediation, technical mediation (engineering conflicts, etc.), international finance, medical mediation and others. Reading between the lines, I could tell that a proposal that fit into one of these trends would be looked upon favourably. The problem is that I have no specific experience in any of these areas.

Then I remembered something a psychiatrist friend had said to me once. All disputes are about hurt feelings.

Yes, I thought, this is what I will propose as a workshop for the summit: The Role of Apologies in Conflict Resolution.

The idea that strong emotions and feelings play a big part in the resolution of disputes has long been ingrained in family mediation. But in recent years this concept has

613.237.7335 become recognized in other types of disputes. Just last week I read that in England the level of compensation a victim receives for hurt feelings in employment disputes is to be raised by 10%. Deep-rooted emotions on both sides have been identified as the main reason for the seemingly intractable conflicts in Northern Ireland and the Middle East. Apologies continue to be a large part of the settlement packages arising from abuse claims against the Catholic Church. And we need look no further than the current racial conflicts in the U.S. to see the role of strong feelings in these disputes and to recognize that these deep-rooted conflicts will not be resolved without meaningful apologies.

So, my proposal to the World Mediation Summit will be an idea that cuts across sports, technical and medical conflicts, and indeed is central to all disputes, whether the disputants realize it or not. At some level, all disputes are about hurt feelings, and meaningful apologies play an important part in their resolution.

Separation Anxiety

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

A

nxiety is a form of fear, not love. It is mired in ego illusion. The deep illusion is separation from God. If we do not see that we are God we will forever see God as outside of us, and immediately, God is a thing with which we have to develop relationship. Given that this God is often seen as vastly larger than the small “me”, this perspective renders us submissive and powerless: “How do I connect to God? God can control me. How do I possibly control God? Can I trust God? What if God doesn’t approve of me? I’m not safe.” In this perception we are victim.

If we hold this perception of our God, we hold this perception of life: it is ever-changing, unpredictable, and uncontrollable. While it is true that everyday life can seem this way, what’s missing is trust of ourselves: that we can handle it.

Of course, the small “me” has a small sense of worthiness and it will often deem itself incapable, insufficient, unadaptable, irresponsible, unlovable, unmotivated and negative, to name just a few.

Combine lack of self-trust and low self-esteem and we conjure thoughts of bad things and things going wrong that we think we will not be able to get out of.

It feels unsafe and the brain and sympathetic nervous system goes into flight-or-fight to keep the body safe and survive. Anxiety is in the “flight” portion of the response, which can manifest in bodily symptoms of a racing heart, shallow breath, trembling and dizziness, and a range of feelings such as discomfort, timidness, confusion, doubt, apprehension, overwhelm, worry, dread, panic and terror. We lose our centre. (The despair and hopelessness of depression can follow suit.)

Tight Belts and Tight Bras Could Lead to Cancer

By Judy Spence, ND(QC), RN Err on the side of caution' is the paradigm to which medical practitioners subscribe. In the case of belts worn too tightly, a small study looked at tissue changes at the line where the esophagus meets the stomach. A tight weight-lifters belt was worn by slim and obese men. They were given large meals and especially in obese men, the demarcation line where cells normally change from esophageal cells to stomach cells rose higher in the esophagus, akin to those with hiatus hernias and stomach acid reflux which are associated with increased adenocarcinoma of the esophagus. Known factors for reflux are increased body mass index and waist circumference. The study showed possible increased risk in wearing belts too tightly. Erring on the side of caution, it is wise not to wear tight girdles and tight elastics in slacks as well.

Women should not wear tight bras. «Aluminum from antiperspirants, for example, is one potentially dangerous source of toxins that can accumulate if your lymph drainage is impaired›, Dr. Mercola. Dr. Schacter, “Over 85 percent of the lymph fluid flowing from the breast drains to the armpit lymph nodes”. “Thus, wearing a bra might contribute to the development of breast cancer as a result of cutting off lymphatic drainage, so that toxic chemicals are trapped in the breast” “Constricting bras have also been implicated in the rise of benign (non-

Fibrocystic breast disease, not surprisingly, is associated with a higher risk of breast cancer.”

Another study:”Based on the results of this study, the link between bras and breast cancer is about three times greater than the link between cigarette smoking and cancer”, medical anthropologists Sydney Singer and Soma Grismaijer. Erring on the side of caution: wear properly fitted bras for short periods, if at all.

Hypnosis for Fibromyalgia

By Dr Luke Michael Howard www.lukenosis.com ibromyalgia is an illness with common symptoms such as pain, sensitivity to touch, fatigue, joint soreness, and problems sleeping. According to research conducted over the last 30 years, Fibromyalgia is most likely caused by the central nervous system. Symptoms of the disorder can be reduced using prescription drugs, psychological therapy, exercise, and hypnotherapy. Studies conducted showed that among many other forms of treatment, hypnosis therapy has been proven to help relieve symptoms of fibromyalgia and increase quality of life.

People diagnosed with fibromyalgia often experience chronic pain that can be very debilitating to their lives and careers. As many as 30% of people with fibromyalgia report having trouble simply doing their work. The illness affects approximately 2% of the population and is more likely to occur in women than men.

In 1991 an article appeared in The Journal of Rheumatology. The article talked about a study that had been performed on the effectiveness of hypnotherapy on patients who had not seen results from other forms of treatment of their fibromyalgia. Other forms of treatment that the participants underwent included prescription medication and cognitive behavioural therapy.

The study consisted of 40 participants. They were randomly selected to receive either hypnotherapy or physical therapy. They received either form of

F

therapy for 12 weeks. All participants were assessed by the researchers at a 12 and 24 week follow-up.

The participants were given the Hopkins Symptom Checklist to fill out and report their symptoms. The HSCL includes 58 items that patients are able to relate to their symptoms.

During both the 12-week and 24week assessments, the participants in the hypnosis group reported a reduction in pain and fatigue and they also reported better sleep. Their assessments at the 12 and 24-week follow-up were compared to the baseline reporting of the HSCL. Before the start of the study, all patients reported feeling discomfort both mentally and physically. At the follow up, those who received hypnotherapy reported a significant decrease in feelings of discomfort. However, those who received physical therapy did not report any significant decrease The researchers in this study concluded that hypnotherapy is a useful tool to help relieve pain and other symptoms associated with fibromyalgia.

More research should be conducted to increase the maximum benefits of hypnosis on treating patients with fibromyalgia.

Hypnotherapy cannot only help reduce pain and fatigue in fibromyalgia patients, but it can improve their quality of life. Reduced pain and fatigue can allow fibromyalgia patients to lead a more normal life.

Rhythm of the Year with Tree Essences

(a monthly series about the vibration of the month and trees)

by Celine Cloutier and Daniel Tigner and guest writer, Margo Royce, Founder and President of Spirit Inc. spirit@travel-net.com

AHHH WINTER!

Hushhhhh…Listen to the silence. The wonder of winter is upon us.

The crunch of snow beneath one’s feet.

The silence as plants and many animals and insects sleep and hibernate, gathering strength before emerging come spring.

But not yet…

This is the time of conserving strength and gathering dreams. A time of dreams and plans and the boundless anticipation of what will come next. Ahhh, the endless possibilities...

Cuddle up in front of a fire, wrapped in a cozy afghan and give way to dreams – your dreams – whatever they may be. May your dreams be unlimited.

Let your creativity and ideas flow.

As the earth slumbers beneath a thick blanket of white, we too regenerate within a cocoon of silence as big, lazy flakes of snow drift silently around us. The snow providing a deep insulation, a protective blanket, seals the warmth within to keep us safe.

A beautiful tree, devoid of its foliage, reaches up to the sky while its roots, deep and strong, rest in the protective earth. It may appear asleep but is truly alive in its graceful, stark beauty against a winter landscape.

Ahhh, the beauty of trees, in every season, inspire us with hope.

The light of winter is beguiling. From candles playing their dancing flames in a darkened room to moon light on a snow blue field. From stars twinkling in a winter’s night to fluffy snowflakes drifting in the aura of a streetlamp.

The jewels of winter are priceless and cost us nothing but for the time to notice: Icicles decorating a roof, Jack Frost decorating a window, crystals of ice on a river’s edge - A perfect snowflake caught on one’s tongue.

Ahhh, the beauty of winter is ours to behold! I must admit there is a grumpy old man who lives within my female self who can become very cranky and impatient.

Realistically, he points out, winter takes up a lot of time, space and money. Of course, that is true. But Tree Essences can really help lighten our moods during the darker season. The Even Moods Essence may help to

counter the negative and foster balance and patience. It speaks to understanding cycles and moods and celebrating our feminine side. Winter does teach us patience and other important lessons of life.

There is a lovely practice that is shared by many cultures at the beginning of a new year. It consists of sweeping out last year’s “dirt” to begin a new year with a fresh and clean slate. So, I learn the lessons of the grumpy old man and then flick him aside to cherish the moment. For positive new beginnings, a complementary aid is the Joyful Living Essence which encourages us to engage fully in life and allows us to shine forth with trust and enthusiasm. Ahhh, the beauty of new beginnings!

Winter is a time when our inner child yearns to get out and play: cross-country or downhill skiing, snowshoeing, building forts, skating on the pond or canal, or sliding down hills - ahhh, the joy of just having fun!

While the winter wind howls, you may want to fill your home with intoxicating scents of winter until the storm abates, or savor steaming mugs of hot chocolate, bowls of delicious soups and stews, hot buttered rum or fragrant mulled wine.

Mmmm, you may even want the storm to last just one more day!

So inhale deeply that fresh, cold air with the nip, as though through a straw, exhale slowly any negativity you may be holding and let it go completely.

Like no two snowflakes, no two people are identical. So celebrate your own unique, beautiful self. Embrace the wonder and opportunities that are yours to discover. Enjoy this magical season!

Next month, we look into the vibration of March and related tree essences!

Wishing You Happy Winter Valentines!

FRUSTRATION Written by Alexis Nicol

I

was thinking about frustration and the uncomfortable feelings I experience during a bout. Mostly it’s when something isn’t going my way – at least the way I think it should go. Little do I know! This is just another way the Universe forces me to dig a little deeper, to make that connection to my Higher Self. You know; that part of you that is clear, innocent and not influenced by anyone but Truth.

When I’m frustrated my mind is blocked, I can’t see, or perhaps not open to seeing that there just might be another way. I’m so determined that I know best.

Finally, when I feel that I can’t do it anymore I give in/ up. Only then do I notice that my mind, body and soul subtly relax. It’s amazing that by letting go I instantly allow that inspiration to pop into my mind. Don’t you just love watching the unfolding of the workings of the

Isn’t it so cool that some of the most frustrating times turn out to be the best especially when everything turns out so differently and so much better than you could have imagined?

Looking back I am able to realize how much I learn and grow with each dilemma. Teachings are constantly being created. I love when I actually recognize them and so grateful that they keep coming.

At least then I know there’s still a lot more to see, learn and grow from.

T

he carpal tunnel is a narrow passageway bound by bones and ligaments located on the inside of your wrist. It protects the main nerve to your hand and the tendons that bend your fingers. When there is pressure placed on the nerve, it produces numbness, tingling, pain and over time, loss of strength in the hand, a condition that is known as carpal tunnel syndrome.

Pressure on the nerve can stem from anything that reduces the space for it in the carpal tunnel, such as overusing the hand in work, sports and daily activities particularly through repetitive motions, injury to the area, or other health conditions. In many cases, carpal tunnel symptoms may actually be caused by a nerve compression in the neck rather than by a narrowing of the carpal tunnel. Bad posture, for example, can cause compression of the nerves that run down the arm and eventually pass through the carpal tunnel.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine, there are two organs that are commonly involved in many bone and muscle/sinew problems, the kidney and liver. The kidneys produce marrow and control the strength of the bones and the liver controls the state of the sinews (muscle and tendons).

When a problem arises in a joint, whether due to injury or overuse, the body is normally able to recover and heal the tissues. However, with injuries, the qienergy and blood get stuck and no longer circulate through the joint properly, causing pain. If the quality of blood is generally poor, the injured site will of course take longer to heal or even fail to heal completely.

When injury occurs in the case of overuse of a joint, the kidneys and liver are also involved, because the joint may sustain damage if it isn’t receiving a sufficient quality of nourishment and moistening of qi-energy and blood.

With acupuncture we can reinforce the energy of kidneys and liver in order to strengthen the bones, muscles and tendons to allow them to heal properly and prevent future injury.

Heart Scents

I

t’s that time again! Valentine’s Day is coming up and you are perhaps wondering how to do something meaningful for those you love: partners, family and/or friends. I am always grateful for gifts that show a personal touch. Here are some recipes for making some loving gifts.

Cinnamon shapes These are great for scenting linens and drawers. The scent will always make them think of you!

Ingredients: 1 to 1.5 Cups ground cinnamon 1 Cup unsweetened applesauce 2 Tablespoons white glue Mix these together in a large bowl.

You may need to add more cinnamon or more applesauce, depending on how the batch comes together: it should be cookie batter-like so it can be rolled and keep its shape.Roll into a ball, place between two sheets of plastic wrap, roll out with a rolling pin and use cookie cutters to create cinnamon shapes. Dry on

a rack (may take a few days), food dehydrator (highest setting for 6 hrs) or bake them in the oven for about 2.5 hrs at 200 degrees.P.S. Make sure to tell your recipients not to eat them!

Love Potion Number 9 You can add any number of different essential oils to create a love blend, bearing in mind that scent is a very personal thing. Essential oils with the reputation of being aphrodisiacs are ylang ylang, jasmine, rose and sandalwood (all fairly expensive, but using a diluted version is fine as long as it is an essential oil, not fragrance).

Oils that can calm and destress include lavender, geranium and chamomile.

Uplifting or euphoric-type oils also include lavender, as well as bergamot, red grapefruit, clary sage and nutmeg.

To make a blend with your favourites to use as a massage oil, first choose your carrier oil. This will be a vegetable oil like olive, almond or grapeseed, for example. Then start to build your blend. I suggest adding of drop of each oil (and start out with just a few or it can get complicated very quickly), and then adjust accordingly. The general rule of thumb for a healthy adult (not expecting) is 5 drops of essential oil in 15mL of carrier.

Have fun playing and creating! Our next DIY workshop is Sunday, February 7th. Details on website and facebook ©2016 Heather Garrod is a Certified Aromatherapist and owner of Planet Botanix at 301 Bank St in Centretown 613.567.4444 www.planetbotanix.com

Backed by scientific research:

IAHV has evidenced-based programs to help vets, prisoners, at-risk youth, general public

T

he International Association for Human Values (IAHV) has just set up shop here in Ottawa. IAHV is an international NGO in special consultative status with ECOSOC of the UN, and a registered charity in Canada.

It offers specialized programs using highly-researched and evidence-based tools and techniques to address some of the most intractable problems in Canadian society: vets with PTSD; teenage suicide rates in the North; a prison system which dehumanizes inmates and staff alike; stressed at-risk youth, and schools with a culture of violence; traumatized refugees, and finally the huge epidemic of stress throughout society in general, with its toll on the physical and mental well-being of the entire population. IAHV’s programs in these areas have been very successful so far in the US. We now want to roll out the same programs here in Canada.

At the heart of each of these is a powerful program of unique yoga-based breathing techniques (“SKY breathing meditation”). A recent independent study (2015) from a hospital in Milan, Italy, showed SKY breathing meditation was just as effective in dealing with serious anxiety and depression as the standard treatment with anti-anxiety and anti-depression medication – but with none of the side effects! A recent Stanford University study of US vets with PTSD who took IAHV’s week-long Project Welcome Home Troops program, found a reduction in anxiety and PTSD immediately after the conclusion of the one-week program. Better yet, those improvements were still present both one month and one year later, even in veterans who did not continue to do the daily breathing practices at home. The veterans recount their experiences at: https://vimeo.com/55935552 The first SKY Breathing Meditation course in Canada will take place on Feb. 20-22, in Ottawa.

All are welcome! See skymeditation.ca or call 1 855 2-4-PEACE, ext. 101.

Laura’s Numerology News For February 2016 How to calculate your personal monthly number for February Add the day of your birth to the month of your birth and then add the number 2 to this number. You always add double digits together in numerology to reduce to a single number. (Example - birthday of Jan. 5 ) Jan. (1 month) 5 (day) added together = 6 then add this month’s number which is 2. Then add 6+2=8. You would read point number 8 if this was your birthday. If you still have trouble, email me at Lbaird@istar.ca 1. Do not miss the boat as this is the perfect month to throw your hat in the ring and seek a promotion, a raise or a new job. It is all about ACTION! Full steam ahead, NOW! 2. Relationships are formed and others disintegrate during this month. Take care of legal matters and taxes and prepare to move on. Plan to stay on the eliminative path all year. It is all about “endings”, now. No new beginnings until Oct. 3. This is a seed-planting year and some of the seeds that you plant in Feb. will manifest into a beautiful garden by the end of the year. Try to factor in any healing you need, as you are probably still emotionally raw.

Leave the pain in the past.

6. Are you in the process of building or renovating a house or relationships? This is the month to get organized, committed, and focused. You also might want to spend more time with your loved ones. Do all this and you will rock this month.

7. There are major changes for you this year.

Lubricate your hips and be prepared for sudden twists, turns and slaps in the back of the head. Try to use this slower month to prepare yourself.

8. Does your home life or residence 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 2016.

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. If you are flailing call a healer.

Laura Young is an intuitive numerologist/life coach.

Full sessions are available in-person to clients in Ottawa, ON, Canada. Phone and Skype sessions are conducted worldwide. For a personal consultation please email: lbaird@istar.ca 613-725-7232

4. You may be overwhelmed as situations connected to your home, career, health and relationships are all in your face, now. You must first refuel and take care of yourself. Make sure that all of your personal foundations are rock solid.

5. What kind of a rut are you in? Make a decision to get out of it in Feb. Do this now or you will really feel the pressure later in the year. Promote yourself, your gizmo, or your specialty this month.

The Buzz on Bone Broth

C

hoosing healthy foods is extremely random. It is random because the definition of “healthy foods” can be taken to mean almost anything. For Foodies, healthy food is considering not only it’s nutritional content, but also it’s sustainability.

Sustainable food is that which can be grown again and again, and has no negative impact on the earth. How can we support our health AND support the health of the earth? Because whether we like to admit it or not, we belong to the ecological cycle of life on this planet.

There have been many experiments reported in the mainstream news, books and films of people changing their diet by attuning themselves to the rhythms of nature. Their goal is to nourish themselves from what is locally available without depleting the soil or using fossil fuel fertilizers to enhance the output.

When we look at traditional cultures that have impressive longevity statistics - from the Hunza, to Georgians, to Armenians, to Asian cultures there is a striking element that is woven into their diet that North Americans largely miss out on. It is Bone Broth. Short-cooked and long-cooked, fish based, meat based, or vegetable. A simmering broth extracts all essential amino-acids and minerals from the original ingredient, and makes it bio available for our fragile digestive system.

Using bones from grazing animals is critical. These animals are contributing to soil regeneration by simply eating and eliminating on the earth. They create a fertile land for plants, flowers, insects and millions of micro-organisms to thrive! The grazing animal gets sunlight and moisture that cannot be recreated by humans.

The benefits of bone broth are many. To name a few: bone broth reduces inflammation in all structures of the body, stabilizes blood sugar, heals joints and all soft tissue in the body (including the digestive system), it creates youthful skin, it gently encourages detoxification in the body, and increases the body’s ability to burn fat. It is a miracle food.

Written by Michele Schubert of Beyond Gluten Free and Dasha Tilleul of Agape Gardens.

We offer a “30 Day Healthy Gut Challenge” which includes top quality bone broth to heal your body.

ave you ever been at a party and some person walks up to you and starts to chat? Have you ever noticed your reaction when that person gets to close to you? I bet that you intuitively backed away from him/her so that they would not be in your personal space!

One of the challenges faced by all humans living on this planet is the constant demands that other people place on us. They want us to do this or do that, all in a loving way. Others, on the other hand, are not so nice in that they find it acceptable to “impose” their ideas on us. They want us to buy into their stories and sometimes the delivery of that message is not the most eloquent.

They are all encroaching on our personal space either in a physical, emotional, spiritual or verbal way. The end result of this onslaught is that we become overwhelmed, we become frustrated…we even become angry and offended because these well intended people have crossed the line. We all have limits of what we can endure and tolerate.

Have a serious look at your life and try to identify situations in which people have crossed your line.

Muster the courage to say “NO” to them and stand firm in your beliefs. Take guidance from watching a mother bear defending her cubs from predators.

Learning to say NO, that is, setting boundaries for yourself is the first step to regaining your power.

SRI CHINMOY: Problems are everywhere. Each country and each individual has hundreds of problems.

But problems can be solved, should be solved and must be solved by individuals first. For it is the individual mind or capacity that rules each country. If each individual sees that he has hundreds of problems of his own, then he will dive deep into his own problems.

From there, he will come to realise that there is only one problem, and that problem is lack of oneness.

The human way that we can solve world problems is for an individual to feel that his country is like a tree with countless branches, which represent the other countries. A tree without branches is no tree at all.

When we see that there are quite a few branches, we appreciate the tree. So, if we can feel that our nation tree has others as branches, and if other countries can also feel the same way, then there will be a feeling of inseparable oneness.

However, from a spiritual point of view, if we want to solve the problems of the world, then there is only one way and that way is to pray and meditate for our conscious oneness with the Will of the Absolute Supreme. If we consciously pray and meditate, then without fail God’s Will can and will be executed in and through us.

Prayer and meditation can solve all the world problems. If we become one with God’s Will, then we make no mistakes. It is because of our mistakes that we create problems for ourselves. What is the mistake from which we are constantly suffering? Our only mistake is that we have made friends with ignorance. But we can change our friendship. God is there to help us and guide us. So from a divine point of view, all world problems can be solved only by prayer and meditation, which are nothing short of our constant communion, or conversation, with God Visit www.srichinmoylibrary.com for further writings by Sri Chinmoy.

Pathwork:

Proper Use of the Creative Life Force by Mary Anne Bourque

A

t the next one of the monthly series of Pathwork Open Lectures at Saint Paul University on February 10, we will continue this season’s theme of conscious creating, exploring how we use our active and passive energy to create our lives.

Have you wondered why, at times, what you want to create in your life just doesn’t work out? It is easy to come to the conclusion that if the other would only change, life would go the way you would like. But if you think about it, you realize that you really can’t change anyone else. What you do have is the life force energy to create the life you really want through the process of looking at underlying attitudes that play a large part in determining your life’s direction. In the areas of life where you lack fulfillment, some of your creative active energy is being used in ways that do not serve you or that are not possible for you to change. What this does create is frustration. Then there are places where this active energy would bring about significant positive change and yet you are passive, leaving you with a feeling of stagnation, a lifeless sensation.

The Pathwork invites us to explore the inner dynamics of our passive and active creative life force, discovering where we are setting an active force in motion where a passive one should exist and vice versa. In the first case, we use up our creative energy which not only exhausts us but leaves us with less energy to be in the flow of living well. And when trying to force ourselves or others to be other than we or they can be at the moment, what we need is relaxed inner acceptance.

Pathwork Lecture 29, The Forces of Activity and Passivity – Finding God’s Will, offers constructive guidelines to discover these inner dynamics. The lecture suggests that each time you feel an unpleasant emotion such as anger or anxiety, rather than wanting to blame someone else, check inside to see if there is a place in you that can’t accept the situation as it is.

This is the first step in changing our negative creations into a positive direction.

This lecture places a great emphasis on the importance of self-honesty, self-knowledge and wholeheartedness in this process. When we start to see our frustrations as guideposts to where we have mixed up our passive and active energies we can improve our relationships and begin creating joyful and fulfilling lives.

efore offering up the lovely tools our alternative community has for mental illness, let’s compassionately consider a painful fact: most of our mentally ill population is too poor and uneducated to avail themselves of these tools.

The largest factor in one’s level of health in our society is money.

To be truly holistic, we need to expand our alternative viewpoint to include government policies, the educational system and the factors that underlie the growing distance between the wealthy and the poor.

The good news is that many effective tools for mental health are simple and inexpensive and could be easily incorporated into mainstream medicine.

The most important step in treating mental illness is an ASSESSMENT that includes physical signs and symptoms; nutrient status; blood tests; hormones; energetic factors; lifestyle; beliefs/values; body type; spiritual practice; family history; and a thorough social history of shocks, disappointments and traumas. It is only when we address the causes of a mental condition that we can make real progress.

If one’s state is desperate, it can be life-saving to use appropriate medications while investigating the underlying factors and then gradually wean off the meds as they are no longer needed—even if that takes years.

If we’re not sure about the causes, there are many things we can do. From a research point of view, exercise would be the most useful; better still if applied to one’s Ayurvedic body type. The other major factor would be getting enough sleep, at least 8 hours.

More suggestions include: taking some or more vitamin D; drinking enough water; cleaning up the diet, in moderation; increasing protein, healthy fats and

Monkey God Pose (Hanumānāsana)

By Rupa

M

onkey God Pose is a posture named for the monkey deity Hanuman. Hanuman is an unforgettable character in the great epic, Rāmāyaṇa; he is a symbol of courage, loyalty, humility, devotion and mature wisdom.

Lanka and finds Sita in Ravana’s garden. An army of monkeys build a bridge across the ocean with floating stones which the name of Rāma has been written.

Rāma and his group cross the bridge. After a fierce battle, Rāma annihilates Ravana and Sita is rescued.

During the battle against Ravana, Laksmana is severely wounded by an arrow and lays unconscious. With his colossal leap, Hanuman reaches the Himalayas and brings back with him the mountain where the powerful life-restoring plant grows. Thus the life of Laksmana is revived.

According to legend, when Rāma, the incarnation of Viṣṇu, his wife Sita and his brother Laksmana are in exile in the forest, Ravana, the demon king of Lanka, kidnaps Sita. Hanuman, the son of the Wind God Vāyu, as the friend and devoted servant of Rāma, goes in search of Sita. After learning about Sita, by repeating Rāma’s name in the heart, Hanuman assumes a gigantic form and makes a tremendous leap across the ocean to

Self inquiry from the story: Are we proud of the ability of doing the pose or are we grateful that the Divine gives us strength to face the gaps in life?Modern Yoga is often regarded as posture exercise. Also, we should know that traditional Yoga is a process of cultivating our body, mind and consciousness to understand and experience our inner spiritual nature, and let our Self resonate with the Divine for well-being and happiness.

Welcome to Rupa’s Yoga and Meditation classes at Wishingtree Yoga. Rupa Manjari Devi Das (Ivy) has been practicing Yoga since 1996 in China. Her Chinese background and training gives her a natural understanding of this ancient eastern wisdom; her living, studying and teaching in Canada has provided her the opportunity to develop the practice in a modern western way. The experience will let you understand this amazing scientific knowledge and give you practical skills and techniques to use on and off the mat!

Gumbugs, Sugarbugs and Toothbugs?

Why do I hate Gumbugs?

Gumbugs cause bad breath, bleeding gums and pregnancy gingivitis. Gumbugs in pregnancy can be so deadly that new research shows they might even kill an unborn baby.

Dr Yiping Han, microbiologist extraordinaire and DNA detective has just tracked down the mouth bacteria: a gumbug. That probably caused a stillborn baby’s death by taking a bacteria sample from the amniotic fluid and matching it with bacteria, a gumbug, found in the mother’s gums! We have known for years from epidemiology studies that mother’s with gum disease have smaller babies or premature term births.

Only lately have we been able, with DNA tracking to trace which bacteria or gumbug caused the problem with strong scientific correlation.

This mother in question got her gum disease treated and went on to have a healthy full-term baby. A sad/ happy story.

In fact, more researchers are looking at the connection between gumbugs and heart disease, diabetes, Alzheimer’s, digestive disorders, pneumonia, some digestive system cancers, some breast cancers and oral cancers, plus osteoporosis and strokes to name a few areas of investigation.

Healthy gums might mean healthier hearts.

Bad gums could lead to bad hearts.

Sir William Osler said, “The mouth is the mirror of all disease.” We all probably have just cause to hate gumbugs, toothbugs and sugarbugs.

Why do I hate Toothbugs?

Toothbugs cause cavities and tooth abscesses and once in a while someone does actually die from a tooth to brain abscess that gets treated too late. It is a scary thought but it happens.

Again toothbugs can migrate into our bloodstreams, our digestive fluids and our lymphatic system from a tooth abscess, so we must be on guard to avoid tooth disease or tooth decay and at least catch tooth decay before it progresses into an abscess.

Why do I hate Sugarbugs?

It is well established that refined white sugar is a false friend. It is all sweet talk and sugar has no nutritional character at all. Kids are eager to eat it and grandparents are fooled into thinking it is the way to their grandchildren’s heart. But think again. Sugar is worse than cocaine in its devastating effects. Stop giving it readily to your children and grandchildren!

We now, on average, eat over one hundred pounds per year!!

Sugar when consumed is like a false gift It looks great.

It tastes great and it has the promise of good things to come. However, when the body digests sugars there is no nutritional return. Sugar robs us of our processing energy because there are no end-reward of nutrients. So we expend energy to digest sweets but end up emptyhanded in the end. This is the Sugarbug ripoff.

Sugar screws up our biological processes and gets converted into cholesterol in our bodies. Further now we have synthetic sugars, pseudo sugarbugs imitating the real sugarbugs like aspartame. One day, I was telling a young lady about the dangers of sugar and aspartame and she surprised me. She sat bolt upright and turned to me and said, “You don’t need to tell me about aspartame,

What the !?#$%^& is Life Coaching?

Or how to create more fun in my life!

By Karen Munro-Caple

A

s an Integral Master Coach™, I get asked this a lot.

I assist my clients in rediscovering their joy and creativity. Humour and healing are important qualities I’ve grown to value, both in my 20 years in the animation film business, and over the past 15 years in my practice as a Registered Massage Therapist. (Check out the back page to see my RMT ad.)

I’d love to show YOU how to bring YOUR passion to Life, too!

Integral Coaching® can help you to develop abilities needed to make sustainable changes in YOUR life; from being more productive at work or planning for retirement, to developing skills to communicate more effectively with others or rediscovering your creativity again!

With Integral Coaching®, clients can access their authentic selves and their inherent resourcefulness to successfully navigate life’s changes.

I offer a 30 minute complimentary session to determine if we are a good match. I explain more about

the process, the sliding fee scale and we discuss the topic you are interested in focusing on. All aspects of you as the client are taken into account; mental, emotional, physical and spiritual.

COMPANIONSHIP

How do you know if your companion is right for you?

Channelled by Lisa Virtue

F

ebruary is seen as the month of love. It is the month for cozying up for those in colder climates, snuggling in. While we encourage great loving connection with all others, as you may have gathered from our writings, we thoroughly encourage self-love above all else. To nourish your soul, cherish and value yourself, thus expanding the capacity and capability to love and to be assistance to others. Nourishing your soul allows you to be a better companion for others.

Today’s topic though is companionship. How do you know if your companion is right for you? Our hearts seem to seek fulfillment through connection. The question to ask yourself about any relationship is if you feel empowered to authentically be yourself, in relation to this other. If you are feeling diminished or like you must hide part of yourself in order to remain in good graces and in an ease of being, does this serve you, do you think? Compromises of course are often required in human relationships. Not everyone enjoys the same things and often it is that difference which we find the most complimentary, stimulating.

All differences aside, do you feel you are able to be who you wish to be within the context of your connection with this, or these other people? Betraying who you are in order to satisfy the desires of another is the ultimate betrayal. So choose your self-love first as priority.

Which means as you find harmony within yourself you will find harmony with those around you.

Finding a healthy relationship partner is easier as you feel this healthy way with yourself. Discern the state of health of your relationships with the filter of how loving

you feel free to be of yourself, within context of that connection. And, of course, if you do not enjoy your time spent with this person, then that is a sign as well.
