My Teacher Training Experience and Journey by Tara Fairhead
M
y Yoga journey began over a decade ago when I first started practicing while in High School. Yoga brought a mindfulness and stillness to my teenage life – which was both necessary and incredibly healing. Life throws curveballs sometimes and my life was hit with a big one in my early 20’s. To heal and re-centre myself, I left my degree and moved B.C. for almost 2 years. It was during my time spent there that I reconnected with Yoga and realized the incredible transformational power that Yoga can have on one’s life. I then began thinking of teaching Yoga myself – how much I loved the practice and wanted to delve deeper and get a better understanding of this ancient tradition. A few years later, I began exploring Yoga centres and teacher training opportunities. PranaShanti Yoga Centre was the only Yoga studio that turned up on the search results for “Yoga teacher training scholarships in Ottawa”. I applied for the Scholarship in June and crossed my fingers with all my might that I would be granted admission. A few weeks later I received an email granting my admission and I was so ecstatic – I knew that this would be a life changing experience – and it was. Module 1 was a week-long intensive by the water, about an hour from Ottawa. It was a special sanctuary for learning and personal reflection. Each day we began with a 6am meditation, followed by a Yoga (asana) class and then breakfast together. The day would continue with various teachings and discussions and healthy vegetarian meals. The retreat was a unique experience in that I really had no worries in my day - no emails, no phone calls, no commute, and no rush hour. This Module of training gave me a safe space for self-growth and personal transformation.
Leaving Module 1, I had mixed feelings. I was sad that the experience of the retreat was over, but I was also excited to take these teachings into my real life. It was an emotional ride but I knew that we would all reunite in the weekends spent together in Module 2. One of the greatest things I took from Module 1 training was awareness in how I relate with the world around me. I became more aware and more compassionate with myself and others. The training continued through home study, taking many Yoga classes and attending the training weekends. Each weekend spent together we would reconnect and share experiences on applying our new Yogic knowledge in our daily lives. This training gave me awareness and the tools to confidently begin a life as a Yoga teacher. I am grateful to have had the experience in the teacher training and learning from all the teachers who gave their passion and energies to the training. A new level of awareness is what I now have in my life and I know that everyday is a new day and I will continue to grow as a Yoga teacher. PranaShanti’s Hatha Yoga Teacher truly strikes a perfect balance between the two Modules: a deep immersion and the chance to integrate the teachings into your every day life through the seven weekends. If you are thinking about Yoga Teacher Training, know that this training will be life changing, uplifting, sometimes challenging and hugely rewarding!

Bringing Grief out of the Shadows…
Coping with Sudden Loss By Vonne Solís
S
udden loss occurs generally from an unexpected health condition, accident or suicide. I was recently interviewed by TVCogeco (interview airing in September) about my book Divine Healing to bring awareness to the public about suicide, grief and angels. A rather exciting combination of information, and I was more than happy to share insights about my struggle in pain after the suicide of my daughter, and the healing I have experienced by working steadily with the angels. As always, I was careful to point out that it is pain we heal from and not grief itself, which is an important prevented. Likely it can be in some circumstances, but not all. Additionally, we’re still short on support for survivors, a distinction in the work I do. subject I deal with extensively in my book. A recent Private Member’s bill entitled “Federal Framework for Suicide Prevention Act” that recently received 3rd reading, sets out a plan for the government to provide Canadians with information about what surely seems to be a growing epidemic. In 2005, suicide was the second leading cause of death for people aged 15-34. Likely this statistic remains unchanged. As such and as a nation, we have a problem that can affect anyone, anytime. Not only do we not know how to prevent suicide, but we also do not have adequate support mechanisms in place for those of all ages deemed “survivors”. No matter how sudden loss comes to us, we are all vulnerable to experiencing grief without warning, which is a very scary and lonely experience. When my daughter died, there was little group support available for adults and none for my son. There were few books available on the subject of parental grief and fewer still on suicide. I am now a huge advocate in bringing awareness to grievers about the need for self-empowerment through self-care as early in the grief process as possible. I describe in Divine Healing signs to watch for that indicate trouble brewing for individuals and their family members coping with sudden loss, and methods to deal with subsequent challenges. As well, the book offers information on how to create a support network, recognize trauma and manage changing relationships in grief. In creating support, connecting to others experiencing similar loss to your own, reading books about the type of grief you are experiencing, asking for help (don’t wait for others to offer), limiting your responsibilities, practicing self-nurturing In preparing for the interview, I researched suicide statistics and allowing yourself every painful outburst are just some of online that show staggering numbers worldwide (1 million the methods that are helpful to manoeuvring through intense suicides annually according to WHO).

Fulfilling Potential is All in Your Head
The will to win, the desire to succeed, the urge to reach your full potential... these are the keys that will unlock the door to personal excellence. - Confucius
L
ike most of you, I innately felt the greatness of my potential. I just wasn’t sure how to attain it. That led me towards the study of meditation and, more recently, hypnosis. While the effects meditation and hypnosis have had on my life are anecdotal, the research supports my personal findings. Meditation, for example, has calmed and cleared my mind. It was so successful, I embarked on a life-time project of meditating daily. It’s not easy: it requires a commitment and regularity, something some people may find hard to do.
However, what is known is that hypnosis can help you and I reach our goals using 100% of our greater intelligence. Without any doubt, a part of the human mind engages in genius-level thinking during hypnosis. It is said that the higher the level of the client’s intelligence, the greater the creative ability to reach his/her goals are. No matter what your intelligence level is, however, hypnosis requires the following from the client: an open mind, the willingness to change and the desire to reach their objective. When the mind is open and there is great desire, hypnosis is a powerful tool. It plants the seeds that achieve goals in a natural organic way. Change may not be fast, but it will be constant. For example, a weight loss client emailed me a year after our session that she has just lost a few more pounds, despite being quite happy with her progress.

Then I trained and became a Certified Hypnotist. It has exceeded my expectations. Its effects have been profound. Hypnosis, I’ve learned, naturally speeds the process of healing and transformation, helping me (and my clients) manage pain and achieve goals in ways that are unparalleled. Together, meditation and hypnosis have allowed me to access the wisdom deep within me. The wisdom that is in all of us. And what wisdom it is! “The conscious mind uses only around 5% of the full brain. The unconscious mind’s processing power used during hypnosis is estimated to be around 20 million, billion operations per second.” 1 Wow! Brain experts agree and have proven what I, and you, know innately: we are chock-full of potential! Meditation and hypnosis are key to unlocking that potential, despite the fact that the human mind is so complex. As you can appreciate, there is still little comprehension of its vastness--comparable to understanding the infinity of the universe.

While most of the work comes from the client, the Hypnotist has an important role too. The Hypnotist is like an air traffic controller: the pilot (you) is in control of the plane. The Hypnotist sits in the tower and gives suggestions. The air traffic controller cannot force the pilot to obey his orders. The pilot chooses the flight plan and which suggestions from the air traffic controller to follow. The bottom line is that all hypnosis is self-hypnosis, and all suggestions are self-suggestions, whether a person is guiding himself or being guided. The Hypnotist’s task is to help the client make the suggestions as effective as possible. I have seen amazing results in as few as one session on issues like pain management and obsessive behaviours. For relationship issues, or self-confidence, hypnosis helps awaken a deeper understanding of ourselves and others. And for health issues, hypnosis spotlights what we already know about being healthy. The gift of hypnosis it that it is one of the gentlest processes of connecting each of us to our own wisdom and acting from it so that we can fulfill every bit of our vast potential.

Beyond Who You Think You Are by Amâeil (Melinda Urban RIHR) Energy Psychotherapist, Theta/DNA Healing Facilitator, Vocal Healing Channel
Y
ou exist in many parallel realities; the one you exist in now, the one we call the Earth experience, is just one of many. We are opening to truth at a pace that is beyond most humans’ understanding at this timing, but there is nothing to fear. Curiosity can unveil other experiences to you that are richer than the confusing conglomeration of controlling programs here on Earth: limitation, scarcity, and suffering. To see beyond the manipulation empowers you with freedom and choice. Your soul incarnations throughout the timelines are all connected, allowing you to move between them. When you feel that you cannot recall a moment, a choice or an action, or you can’t understand it, perhaps you have became aware of another self that is as real as the personality with which you now identify. Accessing other realities is easier now as Earth’s density shifts, but for the most part, it’s still only fleeting; most people have not yet learned to move back and forth between dimensions except in moments of exceptional surrender. These are profound moments, however, for it means the truth of you is becoming more transparent.

This transparency only unfolds organically as the lightbody attunes to its original Divine blueprint. However, it is possible to use intention to access aspects of yourself from parallel timelines that allow the fuller expression of your Divine self. Begin to look at yourself as a being with multiple streams of expression in the vastness of All That Is. Consider that each time you allow a higher aspect of yourself to express through you in some gem of inspiration or any form of creativity, you are accessing the same capability. What gets in the way of choosing multi-dimensional awareness is the misperception of limitation and separation from the Divine; then you cannot trust in the vastness of yourself as all possibility. However, your subconscious distortions can be clarified and released. The form of healing support that I offer mines your mind’s database and pulls up the root of what is creating any challenge for you in your life. We unearth the very ancient wars, controls and dramas from other timelines that have repeatedly held you back from knowing there is another possibility of you. For example, Denise felt deep pain in living a life that she described as dull and meaningless. Our exploration revealed that, in several timelines, she was experiencing herself as abused and discarded, emotionally dying and abandoning her own spirit. The vibrancy of life had disappeared. Various beliefs that limited her imagination, play and trust in her intuition were still being held in her energy field, impacting the vibration of her current reality. Yet, when she became aware of this, she could choose to change her self-denial, and integrate more fully into her wholeness and the possibilities of her authentic self-expression.

ake advantage of the energies being beamed to us at this time to make huge evolutionary leaps in your consciousness. Everyone on this planet is being upgraded due to the fact that mother earth is making her transition to a higher vibration and we are going along with her. Wherever you are at this time you are being lifted higher. And the exciting part is that we can have a whole lot to do with how much we advance. If we do nothing we still advance. If we assist by doing everything we can to clean up our mental, emotional and physical fields, we can grow and progress at lightning speeds. The catalyst is there. It really is up to you how much you will progress into remembering and living your Divine Human, Spiritual Human Self. The truth is we have never left Wholeness. We just became conditioned through everything in our 3rd dimensional reality to believe that we were separate, inadequate beings basically unworthy of God’s love. Nothing could be further from the truth. You are God, you are Love and you are Whole, Complete and Perfect. You are now and you always have been. The job for us now is to release anything that keeps us feeling small, afraid and inadequate. From birth we have forgotten who we are: God Beings here to experience variations in consciousness. We were raised by beings who had forgotten who they are, then schooled by beings who forgot who they are and so on. Finally we are learning who we truly are: Divine Consciousness, God experiencing, Life as consciousness living itself. We think we live our lives. The very opposite is true. Consciousness lives life through us just as it does through all its expressions, be it a tree, a blade of grass, dust blowing in the wind. When we can learn to let go of all the programming we have received and allow ourselves to focus in our heart center, free from the limitations we have self-created we are then free to experience the highest love possible. We are that Love. We simply need to peel off the layers of limitation, negative thinking, and fear-based reality that we have grown up with. Once you start to remember who you really are, it becomes easier to do the work/play to remove the conditioning. Every time you experience yourself being unkind, judgmental, spiteful or negative to another expression of God, you lovingly remind yourself that there is no separation and what you do to another you do to yourself. You lovingly forgive yourself and recreate the situation with Love from your Sacred Heart. There truly is no other. Everything out there that I deem to be different, separate is just me reflecting back to me what I have forgotten. When I see the world as beautiful, I experience my own beauty. When I see it is cruel, unfair and hateful, I am be reminded that too is in me and needs healing.

Sri Chinmoy Answers
Question: What results would we have in our society if a large number of people accepted Yoga? SRI CHINMOY: Yoga means man’s conscious union with God. If a large number of people accepted Yoga, then the face of society would be completely changed. Society would not suffer. On the contrary, society would undergo a radical change for the better. Why? Because Yoga can tell society what the actual Truth is in man’s day-to-day life. Yoga can teach society what true love is, what true human relationships and feelings should be. If society is ruled by ordinary human minds, by emotional feelings and so forth, society can never achieve perfection. But if society, at least a larger number in society, can feel the need for God who is all Love, Perfection and Compassion, then only will society discover its true meaning. Yoga and life must go together. We have to go deep within to discover the spiritual life, but without negating the material life. From inside we have to come outside; we cannot go inside while holding on to the values of the outer life. From the inner life, we bring to the fore our inner, divine qualities. Then the material life can easily be adjusted. In fact, it has its true significance only when it is supported by the inner life. At present, what is happening is that we are trying to separate the material life from the spiritual life. Actually there is no such division, but unfortunately people think that either one has to accept the material life and wallow in its pleasures or else one has to be a complete ascetic; that there can be no compromise. This is not true. Life has to be accepted— the material life—but not in a sense of total indulgence. The material life is to be accepted for the manifestation of our divine, inner qualities. One can aspire in one’s day-to-day life to combine both the material and the spiritual life through the remembrance of something higher or deeper—God, the Divine. If God comes to one’s mind before anything else, then only will God flow from the spiritual life into the material life. God has to be placed first in one’s life, without negating the material life or the outer world. If we place God first, then God enters, on our behalf, into the outer material world. But if we place the material world first, then we cannot reach God because the process is wrong. It is from God that we have to enter into the material life. This is how we can adjust ourselves to the material life and make it one with the spiritual life. Yoga is not something unnatural; it is something absolutely natural and practical; it is more practical than

The true Christian message The Law of Grace, was mostly dead and buried by the end of the 6th century. Its replacement, orthodox Christianity, spins a contracted, one lifetime version, of ‘the good news,’ by replacing personal responsibility with institutional forgiveness. This book traces the history of how and why this happened and what you must do to expand your life view to return to the path of grace, whence you came!

Glutathione:
The Ultimate Antioxidant
By Joyce Friesen e are all aware of the importance of antioxidants like Vitamins C and E that fight free radicals to prevent disease and slow the aging process. However, most of us are somewhat mystified by glutathione, even though there is much research documented in scientific and medical journals. According to David Perlmutter MD, a leader in Parkinson’s treatment, “Glutathione enhances the body’s ability to eliminate toxins and preserve vitamins C and E.” What’s more glutathione is activated by Vitamin C. Glutathione is the body’s master antioxidant because it’s found inside every cell in your body. It protects the nucleus of the cell and is critical to ongoing cell detoxification. It strengthens your body against heavy metal contamination. What’s more it’s critical to a host of metabolic and regulatory functions in the immune, gastrointestinal, respiratory and nervous systems as well as playing a key role in iron metabolism. In today’s toxic world it’s easy to become depleted in glutathione. Exposure to sunlight, environmental toxins and pollutants, household chemicals, drugs, heavy metals, surgery, inflammation, burns, viral or bacterial infections and intense physical exercise can all diminish the body’s glutathione reserves. Exposure to radiation, which is still falling on us from the Fukushima disaster, causes a cascade of free radicals that wreak havoc on the body because it decimates the body’s supply of glutathione. Researchers have linked glutathione deficiency to a host of conditions including depression, anaemia, neuropathy, HIV/ AIDS, cirrhosis, hepatitis, Coronary Obstructive Pulmonary Disease, asthma, Crohn’s disease, gastritis, duodenal ulcer, pancreatitis, heart attack, coronary artery disease, stroke diabetes, cystic fibrosis, cancer, seizure disorders, autism and neurodegenerative diseases like Alzheimer’s and Parkinson’s. Interestinglyglutathione itself isn’t found in food. It is synthesized in the body, primarily in the liver from three non essential amino acids obtained through food: glycine, cysteine, and glutamic acid. Glycine and glutamic acid are plentiful in food. Cysteine is not and so is always the limiting factor in your body’s glutathione production. In order to increase glutathione levels in the body some people take glutathione as a supplement. But the oral or nascent forms are not utilized very effectively by the body

and the digestive tract tries to prevent straight glutathione from being absorbed. The good news is there are supporting nutrients as well as precursors that will facilitate your liver to generate glutathione as well as increase its overall production and optimum utilization. • Use organic whey concentrate (not whey isolate) from grass fed cows. This contains high levels of cysteine. If you can’t afford organic, make sure your whey concentrate does not contain bovine growth hormone. • Increase cysteine levels with N-acetyl-cysteine, particularly if you are vegan. If you do not use whey concentrate then use sprouted rice protein. • Take milk thistle to prevent depletion of glutathione and support liver function. • Drink Green tea. • Use sprouted broccoli which contains high levels of sulphoraphanes. • Use turmeric or take supplements that contain Curcumin, the active ingredient in turmeric. • Take Selenium which is a cofactor in production of glutathione. • Ensure adequate Vitamin C intake from whole foods. But absolutely the most powerful way to increase glutathione production and utilization as well as increase Vitamin C levels in your blood is to take ASEA. Independent studies (Contact me for a copy of this study) have shown that ASEA is the ONLY source of reactive molecules outside the body AND it increases the cellular production, bioavailability and utilization of glutathione by 500% with zero toxicity. So why not give ASEA a chance and see what it can do for you. Visit www.PowerUpYourCells.com now, email JoyceFriesen@NovalisIntegra.com or call 613-841-3205

Lyme Disease by Laurie Fraser
A
hh… my old friend lyme has come to visit me again. After 6 years of health, it has re-emerged, as lyme is wont to do. Well, it’s not the mystery it was 8 1/2 years ago. It took days to diagnose this time, as opposed to 15 months last time, and I expect to heal rapidly. That’s the first hurdle with lyme: diagnosis. The ELISA test is unreliable; get a Western Blot test. Lyme presents differently in all of us but often includes deep fatigue, night sweats, chills, joint pain, muscle ache, swollen glands, Bell’s Palsy, balance issues, brain fog… and more. I have a co-infection as well—Babesia—so add headache, shortness of breath and nausea. Other common co-infections are Bartonella and Ehrlichia. So what to do? My doctor says Ottawa is a hotbed for lyme (caused by a tick bite) and I have several clients recovering from it. I approach it from all angles. 1. Drugs: This is the time to use antibiotics. Generally Doxycycline does the trick but if the lyme is chronic, diagnosed late, or complicated by a co-infection antibiotics might be varied and high-dose. Babesia requires an anti-malarial. 2. Homeopathic remedies: Lyme disease nosode, A-Bab… 3. Supplements and vitamins: A, B6, B12, C, D, probiotics, Spirulina, fish oil, Turmeric, Cinnamon, Green tea extract, SAMe, Cat`s Claw, Serrapeptase, Ginseng tea, bitters, grapefruit seed extract, oregano oil to name a few. Some of these are quite potent and may not be for you— check with a naturopath. 4. Food: No to sugar, oil, fats, yeast Yes to fresh greens 5. Light work. Visit www.tomkenyon.com (click on Hathors) to learn a simple healing method called `Medicines of Light` that you can do yourself. I did it 3 times for lyme and 9 for babesia. 6. B.O.S. (Biocomputer Operating System) Hundreds of procedures including those for pain and infections. I do this work part time and I`m able to work on myself. I use muscle-testing to communicate with the client`s energy and find my way through menus and sub-menus until I come to a correction that the energy wants. It prioritizes, not I. In my case, my energy led to: • anxiety procedure • boundary work • affirmations • chakra balances 7. Spiritual procedures- I build a pillar of light around the treatment table, open the navel, (energetically), and pull out zillions of bacteria who float up the pillar of light where they’re assisted by Archangel Micheal. I send them with love and gratitude. This is not a war. These little visitors have many lessons to teach. I use an energetic blue sword given to me by my Ascended Master, El Morya, to clear and to send lightening bolts into the root chakra (a re-boot) and the liver (eases pain).

Certified B.O.S. practitioner Holographic healing Facade healing Comprehensive healing 8. Comprehensive healing (Tone, June 2012): In a meditation I grew to a great size and saw a holographic image of myself as a white rabbit. I caught her and held her in my cupped palms, while in a place of Divine love and unity. Light saturated her: green, blues and she became a white rose. I waited and the rose was replaced by an image of fire. The fire eventually became a transparent light, like heat off a road, and I placed this light in my heart. 9. Façade healing (Tone, Dec. 2010). Jesus came to remove the façade of “invaded”. 10. Powerful reiki by Susan Walker at Mother Earth. I give thanks to my guides, teachers and to Archangel Michael.

Knowing Your Soul Contracts By Kerry Palframan RN
A
t the soul level we decide all the factors of our current life. Every facet and nuance right down to our heart rates! We pre-choose who our parents will be; what we’d like to heal; what partners we’d like to meet and the things we’d like to experience. We choose the people we’d like to meet as an opportunity for our own healing. We decide how they are to trigger us into feeling certain emotions, thoughts, patterns or behaviours. It is up to us to recognize that these triggers are opportunities for healing and growth, not personal vendettas or conscious acts of cruelty from others. We also choose overall life theme purposes in order for your own souls to grow. Your soul is not perfected and it is on its own healing journey. Your soul is growing, learning, expanding, changing and shifting just as you are on your own earth walk. You are assisting your soul with one tiny piece of its healing journey. Even though your soul chooses every nuance of your life, free will always reigns here on the earth plane and you can choose to follow the doors and opportunities that open or not. Soul contracts are not so much predestined as they are akin to a video game that already has a program built in but allows the player to choose any path and various routes depending on their choices. And there is no penalty for choosing a “wrong” path – you just have to try a different route. As a soul contract example, I had a contract to meet my husband, whom I’d walked with many times before. We had many things left to work out from past lives. At the soul level I decided that he would be the only partner I would meet and walk with as I was determined to work it out with him this time around. I loved this man to the depth of my soul. But I choose to leave him, despite my soul contract which clearly stated “he will be the only one”. I must say it was one of the hardest things I have ever done (leave him) because I loved him so deeply. Many factors created my final torn and conflicted decision to leave the relationship. The point is, is that I used my free will to leave, despite my soul contract. So, soul contracts can be broken but does this mean I will never meet another soul mate? No, it means my free will can now choose to create a new path. I can consciously co-create my reality by setting my intent and allow my guides to help me meet the man that is in vibration with the signals I am sending out. Life gets easier when you know what your contracts are and that you can switch from feeling like a victim of your life circumstances to an empowered state of deliberately choosing to consciously co-create your life. As an Intuitive Life Guide, Kerry Palframan helps people understand their soul contracts and life purposes during Intuitive Readings. To learn more browse www.indigodreamer.com

Thriving in a Toxic World:
Rid Yourself of TOXINS and Watch your Health Soar! by Marc Saint-Onge o you ever experience allergies, low energy, high blood pressure, loss of hair, low libido, or headaches? Do you notice unexplained aches and pains in your body? Do you eat well, exercise regularly and live a generally healthy lifestyle yet still feel physically challenged at times? You may be toxic! In fact...we all are. Pollution is now so pervasive it’s as though we’re bathing in it daily. Many Canadians are faced with illnesses such as Parkinson’s and Alzheimer’s and symptoms such as high blood pressure and pre-mature aging, all of which are related to environmental pollutants. Toxic chemicals are found in many common home items such as personal care products, electronics, furniture, and children’s toys. A growing body of research links exposure to toxic chemicals with serious ailments: birth defects, reproductive problems, ADHD, respiratory illnesses, and cancer. The food industry is another obvious source of toxins. For the last 100 years, we have been fertilizing our agricultural soils with chemicals and pesticides, causing millions of acres of land to be severely nutrient depleted. As a result the average Canadian is deficient in trace minerals. Foods are increasingly altered with ingredients that are difficult to spell or read. Sugar is present in nearly all foods. We consume (on average) 240 grams of sugar daily (compared with 14 grams in the early 1900s). This huge increase in sugar consumption has led to glandular disorders like diabetes and cardiovascular
D

dysfunctions like high blood pressure. Moreover, the typical North American diet is high in acid-forming foods, which create an acidic bodily environment where viruses and bacteria like to thrive. It is truly appalling the extent to which environmental toxins seep their way into our bodies in almost every facet of our daily lives. To counteract the dramatic upsurge of environmental pollutants, food-related toxins, and chemicals in the home it is imperative that we take immediate action. The first step is DETOXIFICATION! It is amazing how quickly we can begin to feel more healthy, energized and vibrant by simply removing what is not supposed to be in our bodies. The key is to cleanse our eliminating organs regularly, stimulate them systematically and bolster the immune system so it can more effectively deal with the daily onslaught of toxins. Join us at Saint Paul University (223 Main St.) on the last Monday at 7:30 of each month (July 30; August 27) for a FREE information session on cleansing, nutrition, and state-of-the-art detoxification methods by world-renowned Health & Wellness pioneer Marc Saint-Onge! Marc will be introducing a simple, yet powerful 3-step process to efficiently detoxify your body, activate its natural healing forces, and promote a vibrant state of health. Registration required in advance. To RESERVE your spot for these informationpacked evening seminars, please contact Golden Moor at: support@goldenmoor.com or 613.764.6667.

Could Holding Your Head Clear Up Your Relationships Headaches?
A
re your relationships giving you a headache? There is an alternative to holding your head in your hands in despair! It’s called the Bars™. Does this mean you should be heading to your local bar for a good stiff drink? Not exactly! “The Bars™” are a set of 32 points on your head which, when gently held, release your negativity—your thoughts, feelings, beliefs, decisions, judgments—on any topic. The Bars™ are one of the many tools of Access Consciousness™, a 25 year old approach to awareness developed by best-selling author Gary Douglas of Santa Barbara, CA. If you’re finding your thinking and your actions in any area of your life to be in a rut, Bars™ can smooth out the rut so that you can see other points of view that never would have occurred to you before. One of the things that people receiving a Bars™ session for the first time often notice is that situations and people that used to upset them become far less annoying, almost as if by magic. Relationships are one of the areas that can change dramatically with just one Bars™ session. This includes relationship challenges of all kinds. One little boy who was famous for being a bully in school was so changed after just one Bars™ session that the school actually called his mother to let her know how much he changed the day after the session. In adult relationships, how much of the conflict and unhappiness many people experience comes from partners’ inability to receive who and how their partner is? And how much frustration occurs when your partner cannot or will not receive you? The Bars™ can offer a lot of relief in this area of relationship stress because they open the doors to receiving in a way which is rarely possible on this planet. The gifting that occurs during a Bars™ session, and the nurturing that is possible for the recipient to receive, is a step out of the “give and take program” of this reality into an experience of the simultaneity of gifting and receiving. When you receive a Bars™ session, whatever problem or conflict you had when the session started becomes so hard to hold onto that it’s quite likely you’ll forget it altogether by the time the session is over. Because just one session of the Bars™

www.AccessConsciousness.com can erase as much as 10,000 years of accumulated negativity, even the insurmountable issues in a relationship can seem to melt away. Options that never even occurred to you before can suddenly appear and seem possible and desirable. If you could change your relationship simply by lying on a massage table and allowing someone to gently touch your head for an hour, wouldn’t you do so? If there’s someone who really bugs you, you can even use the Bars™ to clear up all that dislike between you. When you clash with someone, there’s a good chance it’s your judgments conflicting with their judgments. Whenever you run someone’s Bars™, everything that they let go of during a session is cleared from your universe as well. When you run the Bars™ of someone you’ve been having difficulty with, or they run yours, massive changes in your relationship can occur. One of the reasons that relationships which start out with a sense of joy and expansion gradually become more and more limiting for the people in them is that the judgments partners have of each other accumulate like giant dust bunnies that never get cleaned away. Having your “Bars™ run” by your partner or anyone else can clear away much of this with amazing ease. Receiving the Bars™ is an effortless process. Your Bars™ gifter merely touches specific points on the head over the course of about an hour. They don’t put anything into you, they merely invite your body to release garbage it no longer needs. The Bars™ have only been known on planet earth for 25 years. While they use energy like Reiki, they appear to have more far reaching effects on the lives of both gifter and receiver. Likewise, while they may touch on acupuncture points or cranial-sacral positions, the effect they have in changing lives seems to go far beyond these methods.

Six Positive Actions to Manage Change
A
re you surrounded by change and anxiety in your workplace and personal life? Most of my friends and family are in a state of stress, confusion, and anxiety. Notice that I did not include myself in those states although I am also going through a lot of changes. We do not always have control over our situations but we do have control over our thoughts, actions, and reactions. Are you thinking negatively or positively? Are you looking at limitations or possibilities? Some of my colleagues are taking advantage of this change as an opportunity to take control of their future and do what they have always wanted to do. They are seeing an opportunity in the midst of difficulty. Do you know what the number one regret of the dying is? It is more like a wish, “I wish I’d had the courage to live a life true to myself, not the life others expected of me”. This could be an opportunity for you as well if only you can keep an open mind. How can you change your mindset right now to be more positive and open to possibility when you are going through a change or a stressful time? Take action now by following these 6 guidelines and you will remain in a more positive state and be able to handle anything that comes your way. 1. Be grateful for what you already have. Write down 3 things that you are grateful for every day. 2. Meditate for at least 10 minutes every day. 3. Keep your thoughts and words positive. 4. Listen to inspirational and uplifting music or what makes you feel joy and happiness. 5. Exercise, walk, or do yoga regularly. 6. Drink more water and eat more fresh fruits and vegetables. I am more positive and calm when I choose to follow these guidelines. I have more energy and I radiate peace to those around me. I am able to go with the flow and see possibilities instead of limitations. I look to the future with expectation and joy instead of fear and anxiety. You can do the same. Try out any of these steps and you will see a difference in yourself almost immediately. Be courageous and take charge of your life. Live the life of your choosing not the life that others expect you to live. Continue to live a life filled with light, love, grace, and joy. I am a Certified Professional Life Coach, Reiki Master, a SPHE-RE practitioner, and Access Consciousness-Bars Facilitator. I facilitate weekly group discussion meetings on Tuesday evenings to discuss life coaching, healing, spirituality, meditation, and many other topics.

Power of positive thinking By Steve Ryu, L.Ac.
O
ne day, I had a chance to discuss how using thoughts can change physiological imbalances in the body with my colleagues at a seminar. I had always believed this to be true, but it became more believable when one of the participants said the following: “Everything on this planet is manifested as a thought. If we didn’t have thoughts about terrorism, terrorism wouldn’t exist. Nothing can exist without a thought.” This is even more apparent when you consider people in your life. Do you have a friend who laughs a lot and is a lot of fun to be around? Isn’t it usually the case that you feel great when you are with them? What about the friend who is negative, constantly criticizing others or him/herself? Do you ever feel down or irritable after being with them? The thoughts that these friends manifest in actions and behaviors manifest the thoughts, actions, and behaviors in yourself. Even science proves that positive thoughts create positive outcomes. Masaru Emoto conducted several experiments which he explains further in The Miracle of Water. He took a glass of water and stared at it with the most positive thoughts he could imagine. He took another glass of water and stared at it with the most negative thoughts he could imagine. After freezing both glasses of water and examining their crystal formations, he was amazed that the water that had received positive energy had beautiful, elaborate crystals, whereas the water that received the negative thoughts had broken, jagged crystals. Indeed, thoughts become things! Considering the fact that water takes up 70% of human body, water in our body may react in the same way. The views of Chinese Medicine also agree that Mind is the ultimate medicine. Over time you become what you think. “Energy follows thought.” The mind is the most powerful tool we have. How are you using it? Is it a positive and constructive tool for achieving your goals and life purpose or is it negative and destructive? The power is within you to create a good and enriching life to benefit yourself, your family, your community and the world. What steps can you take to train your mind to help you attain a balanced and harmonious life? 1) Learn and practice Meditation or Quiet Sitting. 2) Spend time walking or hiking in the natural world and observing phenomena 3) Learn and practice Tai Chi, Chi Gong, Eight Treasures, Dao-In or a Yoga form. 4) Release negative thoughts. Write them down and tear the paper up, burn or bury it with the affirmation, “I now release this _____________thought, emotion etc for the benefit of myself and others.” 5) Cultivate positive thoughts. Write down your positive thought or intention and repeat daily (especially when facing obstacles) for 30 days.

Exploring the Secret of Sound presented by Maike Dombrowsky Thursday, August 2 (7:15 - 9 PM) Talk
Sound may be used in many ways to heal and balance energies within the body. These practices range from the ancient shamanic traditions of primary cultures, such as drumming and chanting, all the way to leading edge technologies like crystal singing bowls, tuning forks and vibro-acoustic massage tables. Many find instant stress relief, a sense of calm and overall peace, while others have reported it as being helpful for chronic tension and pain relief. Because sound is a subjective experience, you really need to find out for yourself if there might be a gem or two of wisdom awaiting you. Maike's presentation will introduce sound healing and she will share her personal experience with sound on her own healing journey. We are looking forward to a "surprise guest" joining Maike for the evening and sharing in a live demonstration the transformative power of sound. Maike has studied and practiced the healing arts including Aromatherapy Massage, Reiki, Therapeutic Touch and Sound Therapy since 1998. She has studied with sound healing pioneers Gary Diggins and local voice teacher Barclay McMillan as well as sound mystic Jeremy Sills. She incorporates her love of empowering others using sound healing and other modalities to achieve the highest outcome for each individual with the intent to touch the body, mind and soul. Maike Dombrowsky loves to share her passion for sound and music with the Ottawa community and surrounding region. She has been organizing music events, African drumming workshops, dance workshops and live concerts as well as the Annual Ottawa Sound Healing Conference for years now and has been creating opportunities for people to experience the healing influence of sound. Mark your calendar for Thursday, August 2, and explore this opportunity and introduction into "Sound Healing".

Taking Refuge in Grandchildren Ian Prattis
T
aking refuge can provide surprises. It is not always a dharma teacher, wise sister or high monk who is there to provide solace and guidance. My grandson Callun has provided quite a few surprises for me. His home is on Vancouver Island in British Columbia. One summer holiday Carolyn and I spent a sea kayaking adventure with Callun and his father Iain, exploring the fascinating coastline of Vancouver Island. On one occasion when Iain and Carolyn went shopping, I stayed at the house to meditate. Callun was playing outside. He came in crying after a while and tapped me on the shoulder. “Grand Pooh Bear” – that is what he called me when he was a little boy – “Grand Pooh Bear, sorry to disturb your practice but I’ve been stung by a bee on my neck and it hurts.” I opened my eyes and took Callun into my arms and said: “My dear Callun, you are my practice.” I gently took the stinger out of his neck, put some ice on it and cuddled him for a while before he happily went outside again to play. He had brought home to me that all of life is my practice. To my grandson Callun I bow down in gratitude for being such a mindfulness bell for me. When I take refuge in this manner, I am aware of Buddha nature being graciously presented to me. Another grandchild, Millie, sent me some drawings for my birthday a few years ago. With her five year old determination she endeavored to draw a picture of me – no feet, only one arm, with a fuzzy beard, jug handle ears and much slimmer than in reality! Over my head she had drawn a yellow halo, which is totally undeserving, yet I learned from her mother that this is how Millie thinks of me. Millie was revealing her Buddha nature to her grandfather and I joyfully took refuge in her love and kindness Several years ago, after leading a meditation retreat on the British Columbia mainland I arranged to take a ferry across to Nanaimo on Vancouver Island to visit with my son and grandson Callun. It was a beautiful calm sea voyage with the sunset dancing in the wake of the ferry. Although I was tired from the retreat, this was a delightful respite. Both Iain and Callun were there as the boat docked in Nanaimo. As it was almost Callun’s bedtime, he asked if I would read him a story once we got to their home. I was happy to do this. Callun quickly changed into his pyjamas and chose a story for me to read. I lay down on his bed beside him and started to read. In only a few minutes

My son, Iain, on hearing the silence, came into the bedroom and saw that Callun had pulled the bedcovers up over me and was sitting up in bed with one hand resting lightly on my shoulder, a beautiful smile on his face as he took care of his grandfather. My son was moved to tears by this. He drew a chair into the bedroom and sat there with us for several hours. He did not want to miss the magic. Three generations taking refuge in one another.

Photography as Healing Art Oh, To Dine on Roses at Herbfest
I
remember the first time a friend put a camera to my eye. It was a bitter cold day. My hands froze. All they wanted was the warmth of sheepskin mittens. And my feet were about the same (even though I was wearing my big boots that left behind snowprints the size of a huge prehistoric monster). Here it is 20 years later. And that moment is like yesterday. Why? Because in that instant I connected to great beauty. What did I see? Simply a close up of a pine needle dusted with frost.
Sidebar: The words, “to heal” come from haelan, which means the state or condition of being whole. From medieval Anglo-saxon, hal is also the root of “holy.” Healing links together the concepts of healing, wholeness and spirituality. And I continue today, as a portrait photographer, seeking out beauty and greatness of people. Photography, for me, is a powerful healing art. I heal every time I connect to beauty My take on portrait photography differs greatly from the norm. Why a different approach? Because many (especially women) hate being photographed. Simply by giving extra time and love in this zen-like Wakefield studio, the essence of a person can surface. I work in black and white film. I love its quality and longevity. These are the portraits of your life, and I want them to last. Yet the core of my portraiture is simply celebrating the person in front of my lens. With my camera, I watch the light dance through the facets of a person. Yet it has taken me a long time to own all of me, all of the facets of who I am. For years, there were many sides I would rather never see. But the wisdom of aging is a gift, and, over time, I accept the whole: my folly and my fright. My beauty, my beast. Photography has always been my primary tool to help me heal ( i.e., to become whole). It permits me to not only see the beauty within others, but that within myself. And because I am so drawn to a person’s inner beauty, the healing goes deeper. Through my lens, I purposely seek out the strength, the greatness of my client (even if they might not see it within themselves). Privileged work indeed. That is why I believe that photography (and creativity) can be part of the healing arts. When I help people get connected to their Creativity, I watch them come alive. What is your creativity/beauty source? Link to it daily and you will live a happier, fuller life. Helene Anne Fortin is one of North America’s leading portrait photographers.

T
he International Herb Association announced the 2012 herb of the year to be none other than ROSE. There is no more revered nor more adored flower than the rose: the red rose, the symbol of eternal love, pink rose to symbolize gratitude, the yellow rose of friendship or forgiveness, the white rose for bridal happiness and innocence. The Rose is also a symbolic carrier of secrets or tacit understanding. Have you heard the term “sub rosa”? This originates from the ancient practice of the Romans. They hung roses above meeting tables, to signify that anything said under those roses was never to be repeated elsewhere. Roses are probably one of the first and most common scents in the world to be used in aromatherapy. It is indicated for restoring emotions and soothing the nerves. A little bit of love-scent goes a long way, but it takes over 60,000 roses to make just one ounce of essential oil . Natural rose waters or vinegar infusions act as an astringent cell rejuvenator. They both are healing to the skin and hair. A milk bath with rose petals has been historically the most decadent and elegant spa treatment. Would a rose by any other name smell just as sweet? Well we think so, but we can be sure that the flavour of rose can be found unmistakably in delicacies from around the world. My favourite is the rose honey poured over lebanese desserts. Traditionally, at The Midsummer Herbfest chef cook-off the competitors prepare food around the herb of the year and judges get to taste and decide which dish most highlights it. This year should be positively divine and if I had time, I would be clamouring to beg for a spot in the judges chair just to try out some professional culinary creativity with such a beautiful ingredient. Here are a few simple kitchen tricks for you to employ your rose petals and impress your friends with the allure of these special flowers: -Prepare rose butter by mixing a half-cup to 1 cup of chopped rose petals in a cup of sweet unsalted butter. Let the blend stand at room temperature for 24 hours, then mix again and refrigerate to fully flavour the butter. This can be rolled into tubes wrapped in wax paper and frozen to easily take out and slice into pretty little circles. Serve on fresh scones, biscuits, pancakes. -Infuse rose water by adding 2 cups rose petals to 1 quart water. Bring to a gentle boil, then turn off heat and let cool. Filter out the rose petals and bottle the water. Refrigerate the water for use in ice cubes or tea or mixed in equal parts with honey for a dessert syrup. Add rose water in place of regular water for gelatins and other desserts. -Rose Sugar is easy to do. Seal fresh rose petals into a glass jar with sugar and leave for at least three weeks to infuse the scent into the sugar. After this you can even dampen the sugar with a spray bottle of water (or rose water) and press it into tiny heart shaped ice cube or chocolate moulds to make rosy sugar hearts.

Laura’s Numerology News For J/A 2012 How to calculate your personal monthly number. Add the day of your birth to the month of your birth. Then you will add the number 3. NOTE – If you’re 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. July. Spend all our hard earned cash on fun and frolic, this month. Put your self first and put your feet up and relax after a long crazy journey. Laugh, socialize, travel and focus on creative pursuits. This will continue the healing process and get you to Zen ASAP. Aug. Duty calls, so get back to work. You can still factor in fun, but you will have to put others first. Home and career obligations take you off the path of joy. Entertain at home, but on the cheap, as cash could slow down a bit. 2. July. Your life will come to a complete stall in July. Put off large expenditures until Aug. Wait it out and relax and spend time with your loved ones. Aug. – As you probably already have sensed this is a very heavy “duty” year, but feel free to have a short vacation now. Is there wedding or reunion in your plans? Sorry, but usually the “fun” is around duty and commitment too. 3. July - You will not be productive at work, so take some or all of this time, off. You will want to goof off, so try to do just that. This is the best time for holidays so have an exciting adventure. Aug. - You might want to put your credit card away and focus on paying off the balance, this month. Hunker down and try to be responsible. Remember, this is a year of many big changes, so be prepared. 4. July - The focus is domestic responsibility, for the whole year. For you, “big time”, in July. Make a plan for a family excursion in Aug. Your time would be best served by staying close to home and finishing any home or work projects, in July. Money is slow, so think “practicality” and thrift. Aug. - Looking for a change or a new love. They could be just around the corner, so get excited and clean your glasses. This is a super time for a trip or visit with loved ones.

5. July - Get your motor running and head out on the highway. Go solitary, if you can, as you need a break. Try to meditate and calm your overactive mind. This should be a year long quest. Aug. - Old family issues float to the surface, and slap you in the back of the head. Try not to get into arguments. If it means walking away, do it. All will be well, eventually. 6. July - If you have money you can spend it now. Try to concentrate on purchases that will benefit your home and family. This year focuses on the material world. Careers can change, and usually bring gain and recognition. Aug. - Time for you to plug in and get reenergized. Rest, slow down and take a well deserved time out. You will need lots of juice to get though the balance of the year, so take Aug. off. Nothing moves very fast under this influence, so don’t freak out. Career issues move at a snails pace, so disconnect and find Zen. 7. July - I wish everyone under this influence could go to a retreat and chill for the entire month. Reality usually says, impossible. There is no doubt that you are seriously reevaluating your life, now. Try to close as many doors and finish as many projects, as you can. Aug. - There will be endings and changes connected to your career. You could receive a new opportunity that would officially start in Oct. Try to remain detached this year, as there will be many disruptions that could cause your face to turn into a knot. It will all work out for the best. Cultivate trust. 8. July - Financial gain and new business endeavors are on the horizon. Do not take a vacation now. Get your cash together to pay for trips that would start in Aug. This is a great buy or /sell influence. This includes yourself. Aug. - Long distance travel is a wonderful use of Aug. You may experience some unexpected situations that bring a bit of drama to your life. Stay loose and detached. 9. July - Some friendships or relationships will end, this month. Your emotions will be very close to the surface and will have trouble hiding them. All is as it should be. Take some time to rest and heal. Aug. - You should have a fresher outlook, in Aug. You will meet new people and the past will make more sense, now. New endeavors, friends and partnerships materialize. This whole year is tough on your emotional equilibrium so try to relax in July. This too shall pass. Laura Young is an Intuitive Numerologist and Core Belief Modification Coach. For personal consultations please email: lbaird@istar.ca or call 613-725-7232.

Take the Shield Away From Your Heart
“Love wasn’t put in your heart to stay. Love isn’t love until you give it away.” – The Prospering Power of Love, by Catherine Ponder
W
hy do we love and what prevents us from loving? Tonight in my meditation class I received a powerful message about how and why to love fully and freely. I was presented with the image of those that were hurt or unsure, carried a shield over their heart in an attempt to protect it from further damage. Rather than letting their light shine, they were hiding in darkness. This did not benefit them in anyway accept for the belief that they were safe from heartache again. But in truth when they let their shield down and their light to shine, they received more light in return. By giving and sharing light, they did not get shadowed with darkness as their suspected, by radiated with more light. By sharing their light of love with others, they were able to help others open their hearts and also take their shield down. Others that are touched by your light, also felt safe to shine. Once you shine, you don’t worry about dark clouds that lie ahead or around you. You don’t think about the storms in your past. You are in the present moment. You are walking your well-light path. Open to possibilities and in your true being. In fact when you experience “heartbreak” in life, you feel hurt because you have connected with another on a soul level. “Your heart is a window to your soul”. The soul or physical heart does not get harmed with loss. In fact, the ego is the
www.CentralSun.ca
one that is harmed by a loss. When you experience loss, you immediately go in a state of fear. But the only way to heal that hurt and overcome that fear is to get out of your mind and “being yourself” again by opening up. Love is… “Begin realizing now that love is first within you and can be released through your thoughts, feelings, words and actions. As you begin developing love from within outward, you no longer feel at the mercy of people, situations and conditions. You become master of the world and free from hurt, fear, disappointment, and disillusionment. Love will begin to radiate outwardly into every part of your world, to attract to you the right people, situations, and conditions that will add to your success and happiness.” – Catherine Ponders, The Prospering Power of Love They say by opening your heart, you are opening up the possibilities. Close your heart and you will not see the light of your path. As you take the shield away from your heart, you are able to do good for others and for yourself. Set your intention to love and see what joy will come to your life. About Author Jen Spruit is beginning to embark further on her spiritual path.

OTTAWA DOWSERS:
Game 1: Deck of cards minus the face cards and joker…A-10, shuffle and then dowse each successive card as to whether red or black…put them in piles according to the correctness of your dowsing and then record at the end how many your were correct and incorrect…if you start to get tired your dowsing will get less accurate…so stop an make note of how many cards. If any card gets bent or marked in anyway discard it as you will get to ‘know’ what that is. Game 2: Eight cards of one colour + Joker…shuffle and lay out in three piles…options dowse each pile to find pile with Joker, then dowse each card in the pile…accuracy can be checked in both instances…may be the wrong pile, but you dowse it in the other pile. Game 3: Cup with one die or two dice if you feel daring. Shake the cup, turn it over and dowse what number is face up. Game 4: Coin toss heads/tails…dowse it out before looking The last game of the presentation was picking an arbitrary date in the past and dowsing for what day of the week it was, i.e., October 8 1932…check a perpetual calendar site to see if you are correct. This can be done for future dates as well. There are many ways to build confidence and accuracy but the key is practice and trust. Physical tools are only one part of dowsing…finger dowsing, body dowsing, etc. These topics and others will be discussed in future articles. If you have any questions you can bring them to our monthly meeting: 2nd Wednesday of the month (except July & August), Routhier Community Centre, 172 Guiges St., (Cumberland/St. Patrick) 7pm–9:30pm or go to our website www.ottawadowsers.orq. So practice and build your confidence and accuracy and have fun!!
Honing Your Dowsing Accuracy
T
his article is based on a presentation given at our monthly meeting to help one with gaining both confidence and accuracy through practice. By being able to verify the accuracy of ones’ dowsing both by the outcome but more importantly to recognize the inner sensations, thoughts, etc. that occur during the answer given builds ones confidence. When practicing one can be aware of what occurs internally for a correct or incorrect answer thus if those sensations occur during a real-life situation one can draw on this awareness. Dowsing includes more than just the tool (pendulum, L-rod, etc.) movement but the impression(s) that may come through as well to augment the process. In dowsing there must be a need for an answer and so when one undertakes to hone ones skill this requires some self-talk to prepare the subconscious/ intuitive mind for the process of practicing with permission to precede. This can be in the form of focusing on your breathing to calm the mind, peripheral focusing of the eyes for a few seconds to distract from outer seeing, Setting the inner tone before dowsing is important and helps one to step back from influencing the outcome. “The Letter to Robin”, free at www. lettertoRobin.org, contains a section on programming the subconscious mind for more accurate results. There are also many good beginners’ books on dowsing…The Pendulum Book by Hanna Kroeger, Dowsing Magic by Grahame Gardner, The Practical Pendulum Book, D.Jurriaanse just to mention a few . There are many games that are both fun and afford the verifiable results and use simple tools, i.e., deck of cards, coin, arbitrary dates, cup and dice, etc. and by keeping a written record of results one can measure ones improvement.

Separating Without Lawyers
(This is a repeat of one of my most popular columns ever. Happy summer holidays, everyone!)
“Do we have to see lawyers?”
This is the most common question I am asked at the end of mediation. After spending a number of hours working out the best possible settlement for themselves and their children, and after reviewing in detail the draft Separation Agreement I have prepared setting out their settlement, many couples feel they are ready to sign their Agreement on their own. They don’t want to incur the extra time and expense involved in taking the draft Agreement to separate lawyers for review. Some of the comments I hear include the following: “We know the Agreement like the back of our hands and we’re happy with it. Can we just sign it with you?” and “Why should we make more money for lawyers who have never heard of us and weren’t here during the mediation?” While they aren’t quite agreeing with Shakespeare who famously said, “Let’s kill all the lawyers,” many couples simply don’t see the point of taking their draft Separation Agreement to separate lawyers. This is particularly so when they have never seen lawyers but, rather, decided straight off to use mediation to resolve all questions arising from their separation. For many years, I used to insist that couples see separate lawyers at the end of mediation for what is called “independent legal advice.” I had been taught that this was the only way to ensure that clients knew what they were doing when they made their agreements in mediation. Over the years, however, so many couples have asked to sign their Agreement just with me that I began to look at this issue differently. I realized that many couples are able – with the help of an experienced mediator who is a lawyer by training – to reach fair agreements on their own. They may need information about the family law of Ontario, they may need help generating options to resolve each issue, and they probably need some assistance overcoming the inevitable obstacles in their path as they work towards settlement. But in the end many couples can do this. I began to realize that making couples see independent lawyers at the end took the focus off the couple and the fact that they had made some very difficult decisions on their own. Mediation can be a very empowering experience. Why take away this feeling by, in effect, telling a couple their own decisions weren’t good enough and would have to be reviewed by an “expert”? So I started letting couples sign the Agreement with me whenever they wanted to do this. Now, more than 20 years later, I have yet to hear from a single person who regretted doing so. Of course, there will always be instances where one or both persons should have independent legal advice, and I am the first one to recognize this. In cases where there has been abuse, or where there is a serious power imbalance, or where someone is agreeing to something that is clearly not in his or her best interests, I don’t just recommend independent legal advice, I insist on it.
July/August 2012
For most couples , however, it is enough to thoroughly review the law of Ontario with them, to point out that what they are agreeing to differs from what the law says and, most important, to talk in mediation about their reasons for wanting to do things differently. Often I will say, “Mary, a lawyer for you might say this decision is unfair for you. Can you talk a bit about why you feel comfortable doing things this way?” or, “John, a lawyer for you might be concerned about this. Can you say a bit more about why you think this is fair for you?” Mediation is about a couple making their own decisions and, as long as those decisions are informed ones, I support them. In the end, here’s what it comes down to for me. Mediation is all about self-determination, about a couple’s right to decide on their own what is best for them and their family. The process is all about making the best choices. The decision whether to involve lawyers at the end of the process is another choice. Now, when couples ask, “Do we have to see lawyers?” I simply reply, “What would you like to do?” Like all decisions in mediation, this is their choice. Evita Roche was Canada’s first full-time lawyer-mediator. Since 1979, she has helped over 5,000 couples mediate the issues arising from their separation. In the 1990’s Evita was a Professor of family law and mediation at the University of Ottawa law school, where she received the first Excellence in Teaching Award. Her private practice is restricted to separation and divorce mediation, and she frequently delivers seminars on subjects related to family law.

A Successful Smoking Cessation Approach by Grace Joubarne, CCHt, LAPHP
D
espite the slick marketing out there, research has repeatedly shown that quick stop smoking programs are questionably successful, if ever successful long-term. People who quit smoking cold turkey often end up with new habits (symptom migration) or intensifying others they may have (overeating, gambling, etc) to manage the severe anxiety that drives all unwanted habits, or smoke even more when they relapsed. In hypnotherapy parlance, a symptom is a disease, disorder or disharmony that results from a deeper root issue. Thus, smoking, excessive drinking, excessive eating or any other self-sabotaging behavior is a ‘symptom’ of a deeper issue such as anxiety or depression, as is teeth grinding and clenching, panic attacks, exam anxiety, and so on. To be permanently successful, without introducing new symptoms or intensifying others one may already have, a person must understand that the smoking habit is a coping mechanism, not the root issue. When dealing with prolonged anxiety and stress reactions, our brain looks for ways to cope with the constant barrage of cortisol hormone that is released into our bodies. All loss of control in one’s life is caused by a deeper root issue that intensifies anxiety to the point where one has to have something to suppress it or they cannot manage dayto-day activities. I have long experience with stop smoking, weight management and habits including alcohol and drug abuse. It seems the only way to succeed permanently without symptom migration or severe withdrawal is to find and dissolve the underlying root cause of the anxiety that demands relief. The root cause of unwanted habits is seeded in childhood and re-enforced throughout youth and adulthood when it becomes an automatic response to stress and anxiousness. Though the root-cause is seeded in childhood, it does not mean the preferred methods of coping (smoking, alcohol, etc) started then; with time, the brain developed conditioned coping responses (unwanted habit). Once a person can remain calm in stressful situations, they can wean off sensibly and safely with very little struggle. This is the approach of my 3-session regression hypnotherapy program, which directs its efforts to neutralizing the root cause of the behavior to help the client regain control of all aspects of their lives. They then feel calmness and peace as a natural state ….there is nothing left to ‘cope’ with. Without the constant vortex of anxiety and cortisol in one’s life, calmness and objectivity can prevail and a person can make the best decisions in their highest good at all times. With the 2,000 plus poisonous substances in cigarettes, going cold turkey is an extreme shock to the body and I discourage this altogether. In my view nicotine replacement
July/August 2012
approaches simply add to the already toxic load in the body and create other issues without ever resolving the emotional driver of the habit. There is nothing safer than hypnosis…you go in and out of hypnosis perhaps 40-50 times per day naturally. In of itself it can do nothing. It is the therapy undertaken while the client is in hypnosis (relaxation) that facilitates the necessary changes. Genuine hypnotherapists do extremely safe, gentle and dignified therapy because the client is always in control. Please review ‘Choosing Your Hypnotherapist’ at my website. Regardless the substance the client is struggling with, and often there are several substances involved (tobacco, marijuana, alcohol and so on), my recommendations are always that they work with my Emotional Freedom Program (3 sessions) to allow them to self-heal at the subconscious mind level in order to permanently dissolve the root cause of the anxiety that provokes the repetition of the habit(s), and wean off in a safe, gradual manner. Typically, my approach to releasing emotional issues requires 3 sessions linked together as a process. After the emotional work is completed, my clients typically see significant reduction (and for most people an elimination) in overall anxiety and stress-related symptoms, of which smoking is one. Because every case is unique I guide clients at the pace the subconscious mind requires to get the relief desired. The state of peacefulness and calmness that then pervades a person’s life has all sorts of unlimited health benefits, including control over what the client wants to do/ not do in life. Prior to undergoing the emotional freedom hypnotherapy program I offer, I meet with clients for a 2-hour consultation session during which we discuss all their symptoms, (rarely is there not a cluster of related symptoms). We also discuss how hypnotherapy works and how my specific 3-session program works. This is essential, as hypnotherapy is selfhealing and a client can do their best healing when fully informed. Most people find they need no help whatever to overcome all habits once they have neutralized the underlying driver because my program is very thorough. I also embed a trigger for calmness and control subconsciously, thus the client can overcome physical urges easily. Success does require a client’s mindfulness to interrupt cravings and urges, however with the subconscious mind working in their favor, this is easy. I share with all clients who see me for assistance in healing themselves of their unwanted habits this: it is not your fault, you don’t deserve to be struggling with this issue, but if you are ready to heal yourself, I am fully trained and happy to be your guide. ~ with much spiritual love, Grace Joubarne, Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist My main office is in Ottawa, my part-time office in Belleville.

Why Astrology Works Chapter 4
T
Is it merely a coincidence that the percentage of water in a human body matches that of the percentage of water making up the planet earth? And then, out on the street, I picked up the latest issue of The Epoch Times (may 25th ’12), where I read that the Chinese have picked up where the Swiss have left off. Earlier this year in Shanghai, scientists used quantum entanglement – what Albert Einstein once referred to as “spooky action at a distance” - to transfer information, via 1,171 photons, using a 13 watt laser and “powerful optics”. The distance covered was 97 kilometres. The previous record was 16 kilometres, set in 2010, with a smaller payload. It strikes me that something on the level of quantum physics just might be trying to bonk us on our collective heads. If the End of the Mayan Calendar does herald a major paradigm shift, as this metaphysician has opined, more than once, as opposed to, say, something apocalyptic – that can wait until that asteroid comes along in 2029 (google: asteroid 2029) all I can say is that I hope, in the long run, it’s related to quantum physics and the proof underlying astrology’s dynamic mechanism. It seems to me that we’re already sitting on that proof. It just needs
oday I went into my old steel filing cabinet, where I keep my mountie quarters, my Vladimir Guerrero Expo rookie cards and other collectibles – collectibles are ruled by the second house, by the way – as well as the Aug/Sept 1998 issue of the Mountain Astrologer with its interview with one Dr. Percy Seymour. Dr. Seymour believes that the sun, moon and planets telegraph their effects to us via magnetic signals. His “multi-link theory” proposes that the planets raise tides in the gases of the sun, creating sunspots. Their particle emissions then travel Craig Grant, Author across interplanetary space to strike WHY ASTROLOGY WORKS the earth’s magneto-sphere. ‘Ringing it like a bell’, he said. On days when Grant has been an astrologer since the days when he had to have a slide rule, a book of the geomagnetic index was high, the houses, and 2 hrs to spare, in order to make a planetary heredity effects of Venus, zodiac chart. He is the author of one novel (THE Mars, Jupiter, Saturn and, to some LAST INDIA OVERLAND @ google books; Coteau extent, the moon, are, he suggested, Books), and one book of prose poetry (THE GIRL enhanced. “The level and intensity of WITH EINSTEIN'S BRAIN, Lyricalmyracle). He has been the astrologer-in-residence at Global solar activity waxes and wanes within Psychics dot com. (Google: global psychics the eleven year solar sunspot cycle”, craig grant why astrology works for more info.) he wrote. “My theory proposes that Info: mercuryrising1@live.ca certain planetary alignments affect solar activity.......” Dr. Seymour then cites Jane Blizard’s work for NASA, which showed evidence that heliocentric planetary conjunctions, oppositions and ninety to be acknowledged. Most of my time now is spent studying the zodiac charts of degree alignments give rise to ‘violent solar disturbances’. Added to that, we have the lunar daily magnetic variation that stocks. I’ve noticed a strange thing. If stocks have anything to is caused by the moon tugging at the layers of plasma, or do with Jupiter conjoining Pluto, between their natal, transit, secondary progressed, and/or solar arc charts, their prices charged particles, trapped in the earth’s magnetosphere. We all know the impact the moon has on the planet’s tend to rise, sometimes dramatically. I’ve made a few bucks, in the last year, using what I call tides. And, if you will, on female menstrual cycles. as well ‘the Jupiter/Pluto Effect”. as on emergency wards in hospitals, and the nerves of cops everywhere, come the full moon. Point of information: latest hot stock tip comes with any reading. And that, more than anything else, is how I have finally come to believe that yes, astrology really does work.

Thinking Outside The Box (Part 3) Queen Ann’s Lace Flower Essence Electropolution in 2012 Vibrational Support for the Third Eye Chakra
C
anadians are perilously overexposed to electromagnetic radiation. We are under continual attack from electromagnetic fields (EMF’s) radiating from power lines, Wi-Fi towers, household wiring, microwave ovens, computers, HDTV, clock radios, cellular phones and smart meters. Researchers have correlated electropollution with increase in cancer, birth defects, depression, learning disabilities, Alzheimer’s disease and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome. The danger is real and with increasing use of electricity in our environment it is one of the reasons why many scientists believe some disease rates are on the rise. EMF’s are not blocked by trees, walls, buildings or other structures. Like X-Rays they pass through these objects and into our bodies, disrupting normal cellular function and biological process.
New added danger are Smart Meters that use wireless signals to transmit usage information every fifteen minutes back to the utility. Smart Meters have a transmission range of about two miles. The amount of continuous pulsed radiation from thousands of smart meters in a single neighbourhood is raising red flags among critics of EMF pollution. Warning that short-term effects from smart meters include headaches, sleep disruption, tremors, cognitive impairment, tinnitus, increased cancer risk, and heart arrhythmia. The explosion of wireless technologies is producing radio frequency radiation exposure over massive populations before questions are answered by studies about the carcinogenicity or toxicity of the radiation levels. We have products that will keep you and your family protected in this sea of electropollution. Developed by Peter Webb who has attacked this problem for over thirty years?

Q
ueen Ann’s Lace is the forerunner of our modern carrot. It grows abundantly in the Ottawa area and can be recognized by its white, lacy, flat-topped clusters and finely-cut leaves reminiscent of parsley leaves. Like our modern carrot , Queen Ann’s Lace is good for the eyes, but when used in form of a flower essence it is particularly effective for the third eye. (Flower essences are water-based vibrational infusions like Bach Flower Essences etc.) When being prepared as essences, plants unfold effects on subtler levels than when ingested as foods or medicinal herbs. In the case of Queen Ann’s Lace its particular quality is indicated as part of the plant signature through the single dark floret – the eye - that can be found in the center of the flower head . Today many people are experiencing an opening of their third eye, although they might not be aware of it at all. Like all birth processes this opening can be fraught with difficulties. Here Queen Ann’s Lace flower essence can act as a “grounding midwife” : it assists the development of clairvoyant vision and at the same time helps to remain grounded in the lower chakras, particularly the sacral chakra. When strong emotions or sexual energies affect our psychic vision, our inner lens can cloud over our vision get distorted. Many people I know have experienced uncomfortable to severe third-eye symptoms and in cases like this Queen Ann’s Lace can work wonders. Aside from its effects on the third eye it also can help with physical head trauma and “normal” eye problems. On an emotional level when feeling overwhelmed or in pain it provides balance and grounding to view life’s events in proper perspective. This summer, enjoy the sight of the creamy white, hardy Queen Ann’s Lace in our urban and non- urban wild areas! Barbara Schuster is an Ottawa-based FES-certified Flower Essence Practitioner.

A NEW Ottawa-based Holistic Counselling Centre for Teens & Young Adults
by Daniel Mauro ore than any other time in human history, spiritually gifted children are showing up in great numbers. Finding your way in the world as a wide-eyed, aspiring teen or twenty-something can be challenging under the best of conditions. But imagine what that process might feel like in the midst of intense planetary turmoil or accelerated shifts in human consciousness? For many of these youth, confusion, angst, isolation, displaced idealism and scattered ambitions are common. When their hidden challenges are lovingly acknowledged, and their inner gifts are nurtured and cultivated, they can be inspired to discover their authentic power and to manifest a remarkable life. As more individuals become aligned with their spiritual purpose, the future of our planet becomes brighter and more hopeful.

Healing Ottawa Live Auction (HOLA)
Wouldn’t it be wonderful if there was a place where the young people of Ottawa/Gatineau could receive the kind of wise, heart-centered guidance that would propel them towards their highest destiny? And wouldn’t it be ideal if these services were inexpensive, easily accessible, and close to home? With that ideal in mind, the Healing Ottawa Live Auction (HOLA) was born. On June 4, 2011 some of Ottawa’s finest counsellors/ therapists, healers, energy/body workers, and health & wellness practitioners gathered at the HOLA in order to help raise funds for a new youth counselling centre in the National Capital Region. While the funds generated were not nearly enough to launch a full-time centre, the HOLA fundraising initiative was a very positive step forward as it planted the seeds for an exciting new venture and it demonstrated genuine support from Ottawa’s holistic health and wellness community.
The Search for an Ideal Space
Until sufficient resources are available for a dedicated 7 daya-week centre, the idea is to offer part-time facilities to benefit those in immediate need. Locating a space that simultaneously met all of the relevant criteria for a part-time counselling centre proved to be difficult. Despite the challenges in securing a comfortable, economical, and readily available space, it was imperative that we not wait for additional funding to get the centre operational. Thus, we are pleased to announce the official launch of Ottawa’s Newest Holistic Counselling Centre for Teens & Young Adults (to be temporarily located) at Planet Botanix (301 Bank Street). Much gratitude to Heather Garrod, owner of PB, for graciously offering a temporary space for the part-time centre. (All questions regarding the holistic centre and its counselling services should be directed to: info@thehola.ca).
Counselling Format
Our counsellors are well-versed in a variety of healing arts and will focus on providing a loving, supportive, heartcentered space in which clients are guided to spontaneously discover their own inner solutions to life’s challenges. Some individuals may need just a little inspirational boost - the right dose of encouragement to get them on their authentic life paths, whereas others will benefit from more in-depth psychological/ spiritual guidance. The centre will cater to teens and young
July/August 2012
adults with a variety of issues and counselling needs, including everything from depression/anxiety and learning disabilities to career guidance and life coaching. Services are free to teenagers (aged 15 to 19). Young adults (aged 20 to 29) are expected to offer donations on a flexible pay-what-youcan basis. Individuals 30 and above are welcome to use the centre’s services (at regular rates). Counselling sessions are by appointment only. For more info about HOLA, the Holistic Counselling Centre, or to schedule an appointment with a counsellor, please contact Daniel at: info@thehola.ca or visit: www.thehola.ca.
Re-energize this Summer!
It’s finally Summer, the sun’s shining, the birds are chirping... So, why are you still pooped?
D
o you ever wonder where it went? All that extra energy you used to have? Not that long ago, you were able to work hard and play hard on just a little sleep ... Now, you often get energy lows throughout the day and sometimes need naps before you can complete a simple chore! Or maybe sometimes you even wake up feeling un-rested and tired ... Have you been burning the candle at both ends, or has your precious energy been mysteriously zapped by an unknown culprit? Fatigue is one the first signs your body gives you to tell you that something is not quite right. Sometimes, a good laugh (or cry), a nice walk on a sunny day or a physical activity outside is just what you need. Sometimes, a short nap or simply going to bed earlier and sleeping in a dark room will miraculously restore your energy. Certain foods can also provide you with great and lasting energy. (Keeping in mind of course that everyone has a unique metabolism and while one food can be the “pick me up” you needed, that same food could rob someone else of their energy!) Speaking of foods and different reactions to them, food allergies are also known energy zappers! Long periods of stress and worry, unresolved emotions and negative or limiting thought patterns can also be nasty energy thieves. It’s hard to tell if fatigue is due to an underlying condition, such as a virus or toxicity, or if you’re simply not eating the right foods. As a Holistic Nutritionist and Shamanic Practitioner, Nathalie Breton can help you to: • Discover what is zapping YOUR energy • Develop a health plan to feel more energized • Learn which foods and lifestyle choices energize YOU • Release issues that are blocking your energy flow Life is too precious to waste on being tired all the time! Transform your health today and enjoy your Summer! Nathalie Breton, ROHP (Holistic Nutritionist) practices Autonomic Response Testing (Klighardt Method) and Soul Based Energy Medicine TM. She welcomes clients at Vital Life Integrative Medicine in Westboro and at Integral Health Clinic in Downtown Ottawa. See www.transformU.ca for more info.

Your Body is the Global Positioning Tales of Everyday Magic: A movie trilogy based on the work of 3 Hay House authors System (GPS) for your Soul by Daniel Mauro
I
will submit to the stereotype that being a man I don’t like asking for help in stores or for directions when I’m travelling. Someone who must know me well invented the Global Positioning System. GPS units can give you directions from where ever you are to where ever you want to go with instant and continuous feedback to make sure you arrive at your destination. Wouldn’t it be nice to have something like that for your life? Wouldn’t it be nice, in the face of obstacles and challenges, to have confidence that you are nonetheless on your soul’s path? We’re in luck! Your body acts like a GPS, giving you constant feedback, letting you know when you veer off course. Being able to stay on course in your life is a sensitive measure, especially given the distance we go in a lifetime. A one-degree change in course for a jet airliner can result in being over 500 miles off course. What would a one-degree change in the course of our life mean? The secret to living a successful life is knowing where you are, where your soul wants you to be and knowing when you’re off course so that you can adjust. Our bodies give us that information all the time, just like the GPS gives constant feedback, letting us know when we have veered off course.
T
he works of Hay House’s most prolific spiritual authors have been transformed into a series of captivating Hollywoodstyle movies entitled “The Tales of Everyday Magic.” Directed by Michael Goorjian, the movies Entanglement, My Greatest Teacher, and Painting the Future feature dramatic human stories and science fiction ideas that are based on novels by Gregg Braden, Wayne Dyer and Louise Hay (respectively). Inspired by Gregg’s first ever visit to our Nation’s Capital in May 2012, Speaking Visionaries will be screening 3 movies from “Tales of Everyday Magic,” starting with Entanglement - a film built upon ideas in Gregg’s best-selling book “The Divine Matrix.”
Entanglement (Saturday, July 21 @ 7 pm) “When a daunting premonition takes U.S. art student Jack Franklin hostage, he is consumed by the thought of the danger his twin brother, Charlie, may be in. Separated by the war in Afghanistan and the constraints of modern-day technology, Jack defies the laws of science when he taps into the unexplainable physics of the Divine Matrix to try to save the life of his brother, as well as the lives of others serving with him.” This movie is based on a novel by Gregg Braden and Lynn Lauber.
My Greatest Teacher (Saturday, August 11 @ 7 pm) “Dr. Ryan Kilgore is a college professor struggling to take his career to his desired level of success, while battling the very demons that are keeping him from achieving it. Kilgore is tormented by the memories of his father’s abandonment, yet his wife and child are the ones who pay the price. Upon losing his grandmother, Kilgore desperately seeks the closure that he What Kinds of Signals Do Our Bodies Send Us? Our bodies are constantly talking to us. Pain is not the needed...as he puts his future in jeopardy for a journey into the only feedback we get. Intuitive feelings; physical sensations; past.

THE BOWEN TECHNIQUE
S
imply put Bowen is a powerful therapy named after the late Tom Bowen (1916 -1982). It is performed on the skin or sometimes through light clothing. The practitioner performs gentle rolling moves at specific locations (on muscles, tendons, ligaments or nerves) which deliver signals to the nervous system. It affects not only the musculoskeletal framework, but also the fascia, nerves and internal organs. This balances tension patterns in the body, resulting in deep relaxation. Its gentleness, however, disguises the deep and powerful effects it can have on the body. It has shown to be nothing short of miraculous in the healing of musculoskeletal conditions like back pain, frozen shoulder and other related physical conditions. But it’s real benefits are on the unseen systems of the body like the immune and hormonal systems. During sessions, clients often quickly drop into deep relaxation or fall asleep and loud peristalsis (gurgling in the stomach) is often heard. Both of these responses are indications of a profound release from stress showing that the body has shifted into a parasympathetic nervous system response. These changes do not appear to last for just a few hours but continue to help change peoples patterns of response to stress in an ongoing basis. This may well explain why some people use this technique as a powerful tool for emotional and spiritual growth as well as for physical conditions. Bowen can be used alongside any medical treatment you may be having. Clients have reported an ability to quite often reduce some medication they may be taking, over time. This is something that would, of course, have to be monitored by their doctor. Bowen will not interfere with other healing
54
modalities, however doing other manipulative therapies could have an effect on a Bowen session and undermine the effectiveness of the work. It is advisable therefore to not have other forms of treatment close to having a Bowen session. Clients usually lie on a massage table or bed, or can be seated in a chair ( in particular pregnant women, the elderly or people who are unable to lie down comfortably on a bed or massage table). There are frequent pauses between the various moves when the practitioner may leave the room. These pauses allow the body time to respond and integrate the moves allowing the healing process to begin. This is why it is important for the client to relax quietly so that the brain can “hear” the information that is being given. This is also why no music is played and talking is kept to a minimum unless the client has a need to express something to the practitioner. It is not unusual for clients to feel immediate benefit in their bodies during and after a Bowen session. However, it is just as likely that benefit may not be felt for a few days to a week and sometimes longer after the treatment. Recent injuries tend to correct themselves fairly quickly as compensating patterns have not had time to establish themselves in the body yet. Long standing conditions may take longer as may long term degenerative conditions. Some conditions may need on going periodic sessions to help with symptomatic relief.

Earth Elementals’ Birth Imprint – a piece/peace of consciousness for a new way of relating By Mitsi Rose Cardinal
‘’Hi! I am Air-Earth, actually, 80% Air and 20% Earth.... and you are? ... I am happy to meet and know you! I am happy to meet and know myself!’’ I am relating with you here with the very core elements of my being, that is, with my Elemental Birth Imprint. I openheartedly choose this way of relating with others as a very clear and aligned process for cultivating real, respectful and loving relationships in my life. The moment just before each of us are born, the Elementals (i.e., the Spirits of Earth, Fire, Water, Air and Ethers which make up every form of life here on the Earth Mother) dance in a perfect rhythmic combination and our Soul joins that rhythm receiving an imprint, an Elemental Birth Imprint. It will offer our body and our entire life gifts and learnings that will guide us into Union. When I learned of my Elemental Birth Imprint (EBI) from my dear friends and spiritual coaches Marilyn & Tohmas
Twintreess, my heart resonated so strongly with this piece/ peace of consciousness. And to this day, I continue to resonate with the core of my being. By knowing my core elemental response to life, by knowing my most basic simple components, I feel I access me! And along this path of knowing myself more and more, all of Nature supports my journey: all of life’s ever changing and moving Elementals show, teach, and mirror to me. It is all so accessible! And for everyone too! When I first received my EBI, I felt I ‘’got it’’, I understood why I love Earth so much and why I seek to be with Nature so much. As for the Air part of my Elemental Birth Imprint, my first reaction was to question it ! And then the Twintreess offered me an additional piece/peace of wisdom: ‘’ be ok with your Air, accept your Air’’. That allowed me to observe myself and face all those trillion ideas of mine, all those projects that I wish to accomplish, all the changes that I live and trigger, all the freedom ideals and all the attachments, all my questionings… and then everything shifted for me… no longer were these all my ‘’issues’’, I, then and there, chose to perceive and utilize them as part of my strength. How relieving and empowering! When I learned of my family members’ EBI, I understood their ways of contributing to my own evolution. Both my daughters’ EBI are composed of Fire and Water; the exact compliments to my Air-Earth! Well, how perfect a match-up is that! Regularly, my dear Fire-Water daughter will burst out intense emotion and when it has all been expressed and passed, she’ll come back to me and say ‘’ sorry about all that mom... it was my fire, it could be intense sometimes...’’ ! The Elemental Birth Imprint offers a way to tap to the core of our being, to our hearts where dance the Elementals of Life. And from that space, an invitation is naturally and exponentially extended to all other beings. Thank you Twintreess for offering this wisdom to us all: simple, basic & profound! Join us this Summer, as Ottawa greets Marilyn and Tohmas in early August! You are all most welcome to partake in the events being planned. Please email mitsicardinal@gmail.com to receive more information on the upcoming events. The Twintreess will also be bringing us a special treat: their brand new book on Elemental Birth Imprints! There will be book signing events, workshops, private spirit readings, and open houses for stones-books-jewelry-singing bowls-etc, sales.

THE YUEN METHOD™ the Art of Infinite Potential …
A
t times it may seem as if the universe is conspiring against us to make life miserable. It is more likely that the universe is mirroring back the negative programming held in our sub-conscious mind. Some of us live wonderful lives with small problems. Others of us live not so powerful lives with seemingly larger problems. Most of us perceive our lives as falling somewhere in between depending on what is happening in our world at any given time. The root source and reasons for physical, mental and emotional pain are similar for everyone, the sequence of causes for each individual are as unique as our fingerprints. Everything we need to eliminate pain lies within us. The Yuen Method™ maximizes intuition and perception to ask the correct question and observe when a person’s energy goes weak. This allows the practitioner to pinpoint the root cause by identifying weaknesses on all levels of influence. Awareness of the root cause eliminates it with an energetic correction at quantum speed. No drugs, meditation, devices, hypnosis, touch, religious beliefs or even a belief in the method itself are required. This is possible because your body functions much like a binary computer in the sense that it is either on or off, strong or weak. The central nervous system acts as the hard drive, the peripheral nervous system as the software. Energetic corrections are aligned on multiple levels of consciousness, existences and dimensions made possible by our connection in the unified field. The correction is a shift in energy, similar to a light switch being flipped on. If suddenly something abnormal happens we call it a miracle. If we no longer call it a miracle and call it a
technology it can be achieved one hundred percent of the time and become as consistent as the computer you use. When you are told you have a “issue”, and the reasons you have it, and it still does not change for the better, it is not necessarily the wrong answer it is just not the answer most applicable to the situation at that specific moment. Insisting that a problem or issue in your life is coming from a source that is not based in truth makes it more difficult to resolve and often makes it worse. Energetically pinpointing the underlying cause of complaint is much like peeling layers of an onion, removing influences that obstruct the flow of energy, layer by layer. Every correction has a permanent effect and many problems on the physical, mental, emotional, psychological, psychic and spiritual levels of influence are relieved or resolved. Dr. Kam Yuen, founder of the Yuen Method is a thirtyfifth generation Shaolin Grandmaster of Kung Fu. His innate ability to detect and use an opponent’s energetic weaknesses to his advantage brought him legendary fame in the Western World of Martial Arts. His Career in martial arts shifted dramatically when he discovered that his ability could be used to strengthen energetic weaknesses and eliminate pain. He developed this innovative technique and began teaching it to others. His mission is for every family to have access to a Yuen Method™ Practitioner to put healing back into the hands of individuals. Many students of the Yuen Method™ are drawn to its’ simplicity. They often describe their experience as “pieces of the puzzle falling into place” and use the method to support and speed up modalities they are currently using.

ave you ever felt like you didn’t want to be in your body? I know many spiritual-minded people can often feel this way, drawn more to the spiritual than the physical. I myself felt that way for a while too. Sorry to be the one to tell you, but it’s a package deal that works best together. Don’t despair, a body’s actually a good thing, and believe it or not, it can help you out in many ways. To start with, your eternal spirit came here for the adventure of being a human, with all its rollercoaster thrills and spills. It’s time to enjoy the ride. As well, the body is actually sending you signals all of the time. It’s trying to tell you what is and isn’t good for it. It naturally wants to be in a perfect, healthy state. Trouble is, we haven’t learned how to listen to it. So when the body’s subtle signals are ignored, it has to send progressively stronger ones until we listen. Have you been the so-called victim of your body “taking you out” in order to get you to pay attention to it? Learning how to listen to your body is a vital tool for, wait for it… your vitality! Another useful tool your body provides is muscle testing. It’s very wise. I use it all the time to find out if something is in my highest good or not. As you can start to see, not accepting, claiming and loving your body can actually be a deterrent to the very spiritual development you so seek. Being grounded, which is probably

Not only does being ungrounded keep you from your full power and feeling strong and secure, it leaves you vulnerable to unsupportive energies. Grounding is especially important if you work directly with clients, as you’re otherwise likely to take on their stuff. Again, writing this article inspired me to create a workshop to help you self-heal. You’ll learn how to communicate with your body, how listen to and interpret its messages, as well as what the body needs from you in order to heal. You’ll be introduced to the vital skill of grounding and learn the immensely helpful tool of muscle testing, to help you make decisions in your life.

t last! The spiritual seekers of Manotick and surrounding areas south of the City can now shop LOCALLY for spiritual treasures! My name is Kay and in March of this year, sensing the need for a spiritual outlet in this neck of the woods, I opened Green Spirit, a fun and funky spiritual and eco store on quaint Main Street. I share the space with Lilou Organics, an established eco beauty boutique. It’s a perfect blend, as Lisa (Lilou’s owner) and I have both chosen our products for the conscious consumer, on their journey of self discovery. My vision is to create a haven for the spiritually minded and earth conscious to come and browse, shop and learn about an array of spiritual topics. I know from my own experience, with my all-consuming passion for spiritual things, that I enjoy nothing more than poring over beautiful crystals and
healing jewelry, and taking a look through fascinating books or Angel cards. I love to admire the beautiful illustrations and feel uplifted by the high frequency messages contained within. I hope my customers will get as much pleasure from my store as I have done from many others over the years. While much of what I sell can be found online (and indeed, I do sell online too), as far as I’m concerned, nothing beats being able to get upfront and personal with these products, especially the crystals. It’s quite amazing how you can feel the pull towards a certain crystal...in some way you need what that crystal can give you ... and even better still, it KNOWS it! I am passionate about learning, and just about devour anything related to healing, the Afterlife, the Law of Attraction, soul development (...the list goes on!) With a desire to bring similar learning opportunities to our customers, Lisa and I have created a bright and welcoming room at the back of the store, furnished pretty much like a cosy, yet Zen, living room... and large enough to comfortably seat 6 participants in a workshop. My hope is to bring in as many different practitioners and speakers as possible, with their skills and knowledge about all things metaphysical, to share with us. So keep a close eye on the ‘Workshop’ page of the website for the latest workshop offerings. At this point, I should also say that if you are interested (or know of someone else who might be interested) in renting out our lovely space for workshops or therapy treatments, please call us on the number in the ad below. As I hope you can tell, I’m really very excited to have the opportunity to bring all of this to the south side of the City, and especially to Manotick, a very beautiful small town with such rich history and character. So if you’d like to drop by one day, we’d love to welcome you! We’re open Mon-Sat 10-5 and Sun 12-4. Hope to see you soon!

Negative Energy - Is it something to fear?
Abundant Living by Design
I
have been learning to work with energy for more than 10 years -- a period of continual growth and metamorphosis. I feel blessed to have studied with Helen Williams of Place Right who most often stated “that’s an exception to the rule” during our group consults and taught me to work by instinct, not by rote, allowing me to evolve to the point I’ve reached today. Part of the training involved the art of space clearing. For years I performed these rites as part of my Feng Shui practice. I shifted or removed any negative energy or entities. I never asked questions or wondered what purpose the negative energy had for being there. I certainly didn’t consider that it might have something to say. To me negative energy was bad and had to go. There was an element of fear involved and the belief that big guns and lots of protection were needed to get rid of it. Well I’ve changed my mind. What if energy wasn’t something you needed to fear? Think of energy as a person and tell me which would get a better response. To be treated with loathing, fear, hatred and a desire to eliminate or to approach with love and a desire to communicate, co-operate and understand their side. Consider that energy is neither good or bad, it just is. I now approach my work with energy with respect, an attitude of love, curiosity and a lack of

judgement. I practice ‘The Three C’s’ -- Communicate, Co-Operate and Co-Create. I ask questions: What does the energy want to say, what would it like to teach me, why is it here, is there anything I can do to help it. Life is always about choice and the energy is free to stay or go but now it will be it’s choice not one forced on it. Something to think about. I know a lady who has been experimenting with communicating with energy in her garden. For example: the birds used to peck holes in all her winter squash so that she couldn’t store them. She had an ethereal chat with them explaining how important it was that the squash be undamaged so they would last the winter. She didn’t mind sharing but would appreciate that they only pecked on one or two. Guess what? The damage was restricted so she had plenty to store. I had the opportunity to work with a piece of land before the house was built. Normally I would approach the property looking for bad energy, with the intention of clearing it. This time I talked to it. Explained what was happening. That a new house was being built PRACTICAL APPROACH TO HEALTH AND HEALING here.

The Third Stage of Life: Getting to the Heart of the Matter
The third stage of life, starting between 50 and 60, is the transition period least noticed. It seems less tangible than the previous ones - of becoming a teenager, then becoming an adult where we may have joined the work force, got married, had children, and contributed to society. In these first two lifetransitions we grew, evolved and matured, within the context of a well-established societal understanding of these stages of life. We arrive at this major juncture in life where all of our life’s experiences to date have brought us to where we are now but which may not be what is necessary to bring us to where we need to go next. The shift at this point in our lives requires us to go inward to look at what have we learned and look at whether our life is congruent with the essence of who we are now and our life’s purpose. As we enter our Autumn Years, this is our opportunity to show our ‘full spectrum of colours’, to be expressed for the rest of our lives. Thérèse Kelders, Life Transition Coach Gives individual and in-depth programs on the third stage of life. Go to www.lifeintransition.ca for more information.

Believing You Can
A
young man fell asleep during math class. He woke up as the bell rang, looked at the blackboard, and copied down the two problems that were there. He assumed they were the homework for the night. He went home and laboured the rest of the afternoon and into the evening knowing if he didn’t complete the work he would likely fail the class. He could not figure out either one but he kept trying for the rest of the week. Finally, he got the answer to one and brought it to class. The teacher was absolutely stunned. The student feared he had done too little, too late. It turned out the problem he solved was supposedly unsolvable. How did he do it? He was able to do what was thought to be impossible because he believed it was possible. He not only believed it was possible, he believed that if he didn’t solve it he would fail the class. Had he known the problem was unsolvable he could never have done it. Beliefs are the commanders of our brain. When we believe something is true, we literally go into the state of its being true. Handled effectively, beliefs can be the most powerful forces for creating good in our lives. Beliefs control our destiny: The belief we have in ourselves... the belief we have in others... the belief others have in us. The birth of excellence begins with the awareness that our beliefs are a choice. Beliefs are the compass and map that guide us to our goals. Believe you can do something -ORbelieve you can’t and you will be right every time!

Citrine
Solar Energy ~ Potential Abundance ~ Accomplishment
C
itrine is a bringer of Solar Light, the life-giving masculine energy that powers growth and fruition for all life on our Planet. Sun Light generously fuels our bodies and our brains, activating and evolving our DNA. Native peoples and ancient civilizations such as the Mayans, Egyptians and Inca have long understood the benefits of working consciously with the Sun. Sun Gazing, the practice of gazing into the sun as it rises and sets, has been practiced for centuries in many cultures. Ancient Vedic teachings describe how Sun Light can awaken dormant parts of the brain, raising our vibration, our consciousness, and our ability to manifest. Citrine is a master cleanser and it will scrub your solar plexus chakra until it sparkles. The first time Citrine spoke to me it simply said, “I get things done,” and I understood what it meant. Citrine engages the creative energy of the sacral chakra with the will of the solar plexus (where your internal sun resides), so that it can become manifest on the physical plane. Citrine has long been utilized for its ability to manifest wealth and create abundance of all kinds. Solar energy is the masculine energy of doing, building, giving and accomplishment. It fuels us with the energy of optimism and drive required to initiate and complete projects of all kinds. The Solar energy of Citrine burns through doubt, despair, and negativity to liberate one’s personal power. It is the best stone I know of for positively strengthening one’s selfconcepts. Citrine builds self-confidence, self-worth and selfesteem, encouraging belief in one’s self and one’s abilities. It teaches us that we are worthy of abundance in all forms - wealth, love and health. It is said that humans only achieve about 5% of the potential they have access to in life. This is partly because we are unable to accept the Divinely given abilities and gifts that are offered to us. People will often turn away from opportunities because of doubt, fear and insecurity. Such traits are uniquely human. We don’t find them in the Animal, Plant or Mineral Kingdoms. Plants accept all nourishment that is offered to them, and always strive to grow to their full potential. Plants know that it is their Divine right to bear fruit, to create seeds for the future, and to thrive in every way. Citrine teaches us to be more like the plants - to reach beyond the 5%.
July/August 2012
I wear Citrine when I’m launching new projects, growing out healing in my life, or simply need to get things done. I also find it to be a best friend whenever I begin to doubt myself in some way or feel like giving in to emotional fears. Citrine can lift depression and working with Citrine in winter months can alleviate Seasonal Affective Disorder and Chronic Fatigue. Citrine greatly enhances physical stamina and brings support to the digestive and endocrine systems. Summer is a great time to connect to Citrine and the power of the Sun. Life abounds all around us and we can feel our own potential to bear fruit. Greet the Sun every day with gratitude for the blessings it brings, and welcome the Light of Citrine as the liberator of your personal potential as a Divine Co-creator. Citrine blessings to All!

Guilt
by Alexis Nicol Guilt has the potential to make us spiritually, physically, emotionally and/or mentally ill. We go through our days, our minds swirling with thoughts. These thoughts can either enhance our wellbeing or wreak all kinds of havoc within us. Most of us don’t even realize when we are deep in thought until something jars us into the present. Constantly going from one thought to the next we worry about deadlines, what’s for supper, where the money will come from to pay the rent, exams....on and on. Every thought is a form of energy that creates a chemical reaction within us. This can be pure joy which increases the endorphins which in turn is beneficial to our health. Or, on the other hand we could be full of anxiety, worry or guilt which can cause us to be depressed, stressed and in poor health. If you find that you are having trouble with your throat area it could mean that you are finding it hard to express yourself. Maybe you feel guilty from a childhood experience. Let’s take an example: Many children around the ages of 10 to 12 try shoplifting – some get away with it and others aren’t so
fortunate – or are they? They are probably the lucky ones as they have to confront the guilt immediately. The others may carry this guilt around for years. They may have been afraid to speak up and tell the truth because of an earlier incident where they had been punished or ridiculed. This could produce a long lasting effect on how we cope and react to situations during our lives. When you are aware of a particular instance that makes you feel uneasy, try looking into it a little deeper. In your mind go back to the incident, to the actual cause and see it from the perspective that you are watching the scene progress from above. Then do it again but this time see it unfolding without judgement, readjust the scene to be one of forgiveness, releasing all fear and embracing everyone involved with Love and compassion. This can bring you great peace and a feeling of relief. Reiki offers a very gentle way of releasing the effects of traumatic experiences, sometimes without even knowing. The memories are still there but the physical, emotional reactions will have disappeared or diminished. I can attest to this as during my first Reiki experience I cried (gently) for almost 2 hours without a clue as to why! After the session I felt so much lighter, as if a huge weight had been removed from my chest. We can heal ourselves by taking time to look at the deeper reasons for any of our uncomfortable feelings and re-viewing them with Love and forgiveness. I wish you Love, joy and gentle healing during your journey this summer. Alexis believes in a Wholistic approach to healing mind, body and soul. She combines Reiki, Reflexology, Reconnective Healing®, the Reconnection® and A Course In Miracles in her practice. www.firstlighthealing.com, 613-263-7925

Contempt: A Status Programming Reaction Patricia Wall ©Take the Lid Off Inc
C
ontempt, a combination of resentment and disgust, is more than withdrawal. When you hold someone in contempt, it means they have violated your values. Contempt is often defined as a death knell for relationships because that violation of values results in a rejection of communication. A young mother reported how her marriage ended with the onset of contempt. While shopping with her husband and baby, there was an argument. In a fit of temper, her husband abandoned them at the mall, taking the car and leaving her with the infant and stroller. “If I’m honest, I knew then that the marriage was over. I don’t care how angry he was, he shouldn’t have left us there without a car. Clearly he wasn’t concerned for our safety.” The vindictive male had violated her values around his role as protector, putting his temper before the well-being of his wife and child. She felt she could never trust him as a protector again. It was all over, the rest was death throes. Often conflicting values about commitment make it hard to admit a relationship is in its death throes, making the end very painful. One great test for a relationship is the board game Scruples, especially if played in a crowd with lots of beer, where the truth is much more likely to be revealed. There are a lot of things that can be worked out in a marriage – if your values match those of your partner. If you have different ideas about what is right and wrong, and what is important, it takes a lot of combined effort to evolve to a workable relationship. Values can evolve, priorities can change – life forges people. Certainly older is often wiser, and the bumps of life can help people become less righteous. Contempt, like any emotional reaction, is a limbic reaction that does not respond to what you think. Contempt is a reaction that reveals your subconscious perception of status in the tribe.
When a member of your tribe, including your partner, violates your values you will have a threat reaction emotion.
Limbic / Emotional Reaction Perceived Status of Other Person Resentment Higher status Anger Equivalent status Contempt Lower status This programming is complicated by tribal conform programs. Resentment occurs when the other person is perceived as having higher status, which indicates a perception that they have authority in the tribe. For your subconscious, authority should protect you. If you feel unsafe or unprotected, a Rebel (Freeze and Hide) reaction is activated, rejecting the person’s higher status because of their failure as an authority/protector. This drops them into lower status, and your reaction becomes contempt. You may want to consider how many programs around reaction to authority and rejection of authority are based in this dynamic. Teenagers, struggling to develop personal autonomy, often reject authority – and sneer with contempt. Contemptuous feelings arm the wielder with righteous superiority – often the refuge of low self-esteem. Be wary of those struggling to feel self-worth who are willing to cast you in contempt so they can feel right. You can’t talk yourself, your partner, or your teenager, out of these feelings because the limbic system Is not rational. Use the Unlock meditation to clear reaction programs and allow rational communication. If your relationships need to evolve, success becomes accessible option with peaceful communication. If your relationship cannot be evolved, a peaceful death is much less painful. Check ttloinc.com for a variety of Unlock meditations, including a free download.

De - Str e s s ‘ n’ St rol l By Lisa Virtue

ave you ever been so preoccupied that you arrive at your destination without really knowing how you got there? It’s more common than you’d think. The busyness and stress of our lives can really take over. Suddenly we’re in a world of doing this and getting there while the life we’d prefer to be having is passing us by. A life filled with peace and joy, ease and even, dare I say the word, tranquillity. Don’t fear, help is here. I’ve been in your shoes. In fact, I catch myself there again from time to time. I no longer stay in that place though. I’d like to teach you how to find your own release. It makes such a difference. I rediscovered how connecting with nature can wipe the stress away and bring us into the beauty of the now. We can receive exactly what we need to help us in our lives simply through appreciating or communing with that which is around us. Recently I was on back-to-back trips, abroad and closer to home. In each place I found myself walking though the woods to get to a destination. The old busy me, stressed me, hurry up me would have gone as quick as I could, likely griping that I couldn’t get a ride. The current me turned those walks into “Nature Strolls” and experienced such joy, wonder and deep appreciation for everything around me my heart swelled and I felt as if I was on cloud 9. What a monumental difference. I invite you to join me on a Nature Stroll to de-stress, slow down and tune in. Learn tools you can bring in to every day life to help soothe you, and enter into the (perhaps formerly hidden) wonder of the now. It’s also a great tool for those who find meditation challenging.
