Why is this?

When I was doing the research for Ph.D.(Counselling), Hypnotherapist A person’s honesty, mood, eloquence this paper, I came across an article by (613) 234-5678 (613) 726-3636 Lawrence Martin published in the and deportment are all integral Bank St. (in Centretown) Pinecrest Rd. components of a successful life.

Q. Does hypnosis help us deal with energy patterns that feel stubborn and are difficult to remove?

A. There is a growing interest in working on our patterns, on areas within our own mind that block us; hypnosis is very helpful in generating healthy change of patterns and perspectives. Those patterns have been developed through time, and they are energy patterns that manifest as ways of behaving, thinking, feeling.

Often they were developed out of need, and they served a purpose. Approaching them with compassion, understanding that they may have been ways to make us feel safe, to deal with our life.

But those patterns are limiting and there comes a time when we feel ready to look at them, and see how we can open them to release the tension they hold, to let go of misconceived idea or of a past that no longer serves us. Letting go of habits that are detrimental to our wellbeing helps us rejoin with our true self. Hypnosis is a gentle modality that empowers your subconscious mind, or your deeper mind if you wish. We have in us feelings that are key to our emancipation, if only we can stay with them to let them release their deeper message.

I often see an inner sadness transform itself into love,

even if my clients are surprised by it, and may have expected anger and resentment. The essence of this healing work is gentleness, an approach that is filled with respect and authenticity. No need to bypass our feelings, they are key to our freedom. Once acknowledged, we can address them directly and it is extremely efficient when working with the subconscious or deeper mind.

Hypnosis simply makes it easier, as from our deeper mind we have the ability to make lasting changes, from a positive and deeply relaxed perspective.

How to Be at Peace with Yourself

A

t some point in your life, you might find yourself holding onto a grudge because you feel you’re justified to do so. However, while you may be correct in a particular situation, there’s absolutely no good that can come out of holding a grudge!

Allowing yourself to be consumed by negative feelings about another person is counter-productive to achieving a calm and peaceful existence.

Instead, how about trying some of the following life-changing exercises that can help you achieve and maintain that inner peace?

How to Let Go of Grudges 1. Take the high road. As cliché as it may sound, taking the high road is just about the most important step you can take to allow yourself to let go of grudges.

And what does taking the high road involve? Simply put, it’s all about making a conscious effort to not be conquered by negative feelings.

• Us human beings are the only species capable of making choices; why not make a positive one?

2. Assess

how you’re being affected. If you really think about it, in the midst of your grudge, you’re most likely being impacted negatively by holding on to the event or situation which affected you. You may think you’re going through the motions like you normally do, but deep inside you’re probably feeling unhappy and not understanding why.

• Know that negative actions and feelings have a ripple effect, and other aspects of your life will likely be affected if you dwell on something negative for too long.

3. Put yourself in the other person’s shoes. It takes a

lot of maturity to stop and consider how you would feel if you were in the other person’s shoes. It’s easy to say that they are at fault for being in the position they’re in, but what if you end up in that same position yourself one day?

• Even if you still disagree with what they did, seeing the situation from their perspective can help you understand why they did what they did.

Truly understanding their reasons often makes it easier for you forgive.

4. Embrace positive energy. The more positive energy

you embrace, the harder it will be for you to hold on to grudges. Embracing positive energy means doing things, visiting places and hanging out with people that leave you feeling all warm and fuzzy inside.

You’ll find that you’ll yearn for positive energy and make efforts to banish negativity.

5. Reason

with your mind and not your emotions.

One key thing that’s important to remember is that your mind and your feelings are completely different things! Your mind allows you to think, reason and create. Your emotions allow you to react. It’s important to avoid trying to think, reason and create when you are in an emotional state.

If you allow yourself just a wee bit of time to work at these suggestions, you’ll soon realize the positive impact they have on your life. Your state of being will automatically be adjusted for the better, and it will be easy to let go of negative feelings in exchange for a healthier, happier and more loving life.

Healing Environmental Allergies with Traditional Chinese Medicine.

By. Blaise T. Ryan, Registered Practitioner of Traditional Chinese Medicine & Registered Acupuncturist.

A

ccording to traditional Chinese medicine, the body is always engaged in a battle between “True Energy” and Evil Energy.” It may sound biblical, but it has nothing to do with religion. It has everything to do the healthy balance within the body.

“True Energy”, known as Zheng Qi in Chinese Medicine, is inseparable from the immune system. It’s what empowers the body to heal itself and ward off bacterias, viruses or allergens. Evil Energy, known as Xie Qi in Chinese, refers to nothing on the plane of morals but to pathogenic influences like virus, bacterias, allergens, toxins, poisons, molds, etc.

Based on this theory there are two ways we can get sick: Due to a very strong pathogen (Evil Energy) that overpowers our immune system (True Energy). Or if our True Energy gets weak enough, then even a relatively weak pathogen can do us harm.

This explains why some people get sick all the time; because their True Energy is weak and easily overcome by any virus or bacteria that is circulating This also explains why during major epidemic outbreaks, like during the great plague, some people were immune to

8

the illness; because their True Energy was stronger than the Evil Energy of the epidemic.

Those who suffer from seasonal or environmental allergies have a weakened True Energy so they are affected by influences which others are immune to. The traditional Chinese medical protocol for overcoming allergies is to strengthen the True Energy to be able to withstand these allergens and not react to them.

There are 3 main steps in Chinese medicine to doing this. The first is to cleanse the system of the influences that are weakening the True Energy in the first place. After it’s no longer being compromised by these the second step is to boost the True Energy of the body. Finally the third step is to open the energetic blocks of the meridian channels by stimulating the acupoints using acupuncture.

Blaise T. Ryan is a Registered Acupuncturist and Registered Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner with over 10 years of clinical experience. He offers Acupuncture, Chinese Herbal Medicine, Qigong and Food Healing for treatment of all kinds of health issues.

He accepts new clients at his Westboro location at the Village Clinic. Insurance receipts are provided. You can book an appointment with him by calling 613-702-5377 or you can do it yourself online at this website www. blaiseryan.com

Discover the Secrets of the Universe through Soul Communication – Part 2

By Master Marilyn Smith aster Marilyn Smith, Divine Channel, Disciple, and Worldwide Representative of Dr. and Master Sha, Certified Direct Divine Soul Communicator, Tao Miracle Healer Practitioner and Teacher, author of Gratitude: A Key to Happiness.

Soul communication is soul-to-soul communication.

This might seem like stating the obvious. This very simple statement has many layers of meaning. How do we do this kind of communication? What is the significance of soul communication? What are the benefits? How do you gain, or improve, your ability to do soul communication?

There is a very simple process for doing soul communication. This process helps us open our soul communication so we can see, hear, or sense the message.

With practice, it is possible to develop great ability to communicate with the Soul World, to access the secrets, wisdom, knowledge, and practical techniques that can transform every aspect of our lives.

M

Not only can we communicate with the Universe, we can communicate with our own soul, to learn about our past lives, how they influence our current life and what the possibilities are for our future lives. When we do this, we will discover the universe within. We will discover the wisdom of Lao Zu who teaches we can know the universe from our living room.

The benefits of soul communication are also very pragmatic. You can receive guidance regarding business, finance, studying for school exams, relationships, your health on all levels, and your soul journey. The ways to apply soul communication are only limited by your imagination. One of the greatest benefits is that guidance is so direct and clear. Usually, within minutes, you will receive wonderful guidance for situations that otherwise could have taken hours, days, or even months to resolve.

Developing accuracy is very important when doing soul communication, either for ourselves or others.

Two of the many ways we can do this are by offering unconditional service and doing Forgiveness Practice.

Applying these ideas will help us discover the secrets of the Universe which is within and which is beyond.

Inner Child Work as Your Path to Awakening

Rev. Sherry Harris, MSW, RSW, Psycho-spiritual counsellor, coach, teacher, healer o awaken spiritually we must move out of our heads and into our hearts. To do this it is necessary to recognize that our heads, for far too long, have been running the show with antiquated beliefs, cultural and societal conditioning and the programming from childhood. From as early as we can remember we have been trained to believe, for the most part, we are inadequate, unlovable and unworthy and must listen to the words of others, not only to know what to do, but to find out who we are. Unwittingly, we have been raised by parents who are grown up wounded children raising another generation of wounded children. Until we recognize that we are Divine Beings who came into have a human experience for the sake of growing in awareness and fail to clear our emotional wounds,

T

we will stay stuck in our ability to advance to higher vibrations of love, truth and wisdom.

We have all taken on emotional baggage from childhood no matter how wonderful our parents were and how hard they tried to give us the best possible beginning. It is our job as adults to do the work to clear the wounds of childhood so the Divine Child who came in to us to experience this life may be released from the layers of anger, hurt, confusion and fear that human childhood produced. The inner child work created by John Bradshaw in the late 80’s provides an excellent process for healing the wounded child. By grown up you becoming the unconditionally loving parent to your hurting inner child and encouraging him/her to share with you all the pain they are carrying, you, with love, allowance and acceptance, heal the wounds of the inner child. Bringing the pain to the light of awareness accelerates the journey of healing. As the healing happens and the pain is dissolved the inner child becomes lighter, happier, freer and more spontaneously alive and so do you, the adult. It is a magical process that allows the Divine Child, the innocent, loving Being that first came into your physical to be released from its hiding place deep within you. In a matter of months of communicating with your inner child in a loving, allowing and healing manner your life changes in way you could never imagine.

Where is Our Joy?

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

J

oy often rounds a corner with unexpected surprise – this is when it can really uplift us. It shows up in laughter, a new realization, the shimmering colours of a dragonfly, generous giving, heart-centered sharing, the rain of spinning maple tree seeds, or the cold juiciness of watermelon on a hot day! Joy can be found where you look, in what you hear, what you feel, touch, taste, give, and know. It’s up to us to allow it and know that it can be a part of our experience even when other aspects of our lives seem difficult, painful or dull. It’s permissible. No matter how momentary, joy is the Light that can deflate the greatest angst or amplify the sense of freedom already flowing forward. It requires no preparation or conditions.

Joy is elusive to some because it comes with a price tag – or so the ego mind deems, based upon painful experiences, based perhaps in loss, trauma or miasma.

The thinking goes like this: “If I find joy, it will only come to an end. It will surely disappear so I won’t allow it.” Maybe it sounds like, “Everything is wonderful now, something bad is coming.” But we cannot avoid pain by diminishing joy. Many, however, try and this is what leads to suppression of emotional expression, stagnant energy, and often regret.

Ego would rather have us believe that because feelings of joy may be fleeting, they have less value. Ego expects perpetual bliss. Glimpses of joy are simply not enough.

Sometimes we just take life a little too seriously.

I know that I can, having come from generations of hardship, struggle and resignation to these. For my ancestors, and for many in the past, it seemed there just wasn’t space for joy. Some people feel they must stay joyless when life brings a serious situation like illness.

requently couples come to see us complaining about each other’s anger. We used to reply that the average person is angry 17 times a day (we no longer remember where we heard that statistic) and that it isn’t the anger that is the problem; it is how it is expressed. We often explore with people how they can express themselves in an unarguable; i.e. blame-free way. If you would like to learn more about learning to speak in ways that do not promote an argument, check out the article on our website on this topic.

Recently, we have come to believe that underneath almost all anger is fear. You’ve heard of “fight or flight” with respect

12

to fear. The fight response of fear happens when the person moves toward the frightening thing rather than away from it (flight response). It is characterized by a reactively quick response, attacking or challenging actions. The person’s chin comes up and out; weight is forward; a person’s arms get tight, hands may form into fists; action speeds up, talking is faster, louder, and shriller. This type of fear may feel and look like anger.

No one, not even us, likes to have our partners angry with us. Anger is scary. However, looking underneath our own anger and our partner’s anger and getting curious about the underlying fear can often soften the response. Fear is more likely to bring out empathy and compassion than anger. Anger is usually related to a perceived or actual threat, to a fear that my needs won’t get met, that I will be abandoned or rejected, that my partner isn’t taking me into consideration or seeing me as defective in some way.

If you want to explore your own or your partner’s fight response, give us a call.

Good day, sunshine... but what’s in that sun lotion?

T

hese days, there is a lot in the news about whether the sun is a good thing, or a bad thing to be exposed to.

We need the vitamin D, but we also need to be mindful of the sun’s rays and potential harm via sunburn. There are several natural, plant-based oils that have great benefits for sun protection, and even provide nutrients for the skin.

Olive oil contains Vitamins A and E, which help protect the skin from oxidation. It also has a very strong antioxidant called hydroxyrosol. Olive oil seems to be great for most skin types as an anti-wrinkle/aging ingredient. It has a reputed spf of between 2 and 8.

Coconut oil, very popular these days in diet, is another great oil for the skin.

It is antibacterial and helps the skin retain its moisture content. It contains B Vitamins, including Pantothenic Acid as well as Vitamin C and Pantothenic Acid and has the same SPF range, 2-8. Sesame oil is one

of my favourites for acneic facial massage because of its antibacterial properties. Its SPF is between 2-4. These are just a few of the potential oils you can use. The heavy hitters when it come sto SPF are red raspberry seed (between 28-50 SPF) which nourish the skin with Vitamin A and essential fatty acids, as well as tocopherols (Vit. E=anti-oxidant). Carrot seed oil (SPF 38-40) has, of course, lots of betacarotene (think orange) and Vitamin A and E. Despite all of these delicious, wonderful options, I am still a big advocate of using zinc oxide , specifically micronized and nonnano. Zinc oxide provides a physical barrier against UVA and UVB rayssomething that it not specific to SPF. Why micronized? SO that you don’t look like a Life guard (maybe I am dating myself) with the white nose, or a mime. Why non-nano? Because even though it is small particles, they are not small enough to pass into the blood stream.

Conflict Resolution Process Options

I

frequently deliver public seminars on conflict resolution in general and mediation in particular. One of the key points I always want to make has to do with thinking not just about what you want to end up with, but about how you are going to get there.

The “what” refers to the substantive results you want to achieve. In the divorce field this means saying something like, “In my settlement I want to get to keep the home, I want half of his pension, I want so much in spousal support, etc.” Certainly it is important to think about these matters. But I think it is equally important – and, perhaps, more important – to think about the “how.” How you are going to go about getting what you want? How are you going to discuss these matters with your spouse? What process are you going to use?

In my seminars, I draw a long horizontal line across a flip chart. At the far left end I write the words “kitchen table.” At the far right end I write “Court.” I explain that these are the two extremes on a continuum of processes that people in conflict can choose from. I explain that about 2% of the population can sit down together at their kitchen table and work out just about everything directly between themselves. Another 5 – 10% will never be able to resolve anything between themselves and will require a judge in Court to make a final ruling.

But in between are a number of other process options.

Next to “kitchen table” I write “mediation.” Moving along the continuum from left to right I put down other processes, like collaborative family law (CFL) and lawyer-to-lawyer negotiation, and then, just before “Court” I write “arbitration.”

I then ask the audience to sit back and look at these various processes set out on the continuum. I ask them, “What is happening as you move from left to right?”

Here are some of the usual answers: 1. Cost increases. As you move from left to right across the continuum the processes become more expensive.

A protracted Court battle can cost in the high five figures, and often much more.

2. More time is spent. It is not unusual for a difficult divorce case to take a year, and sometimes two, to wind its way through the court system. This is a long time for a family to put its life on hold.

3. Stress escalates. One man at one of my seminars made the room laugh when he said that his hair got greyer as he moved from left to right across the continuum.

But he was correct. The energy spent on “right side” processes, and the stress that so often follows, can be debilitating for many couples. And what about the stress on their children?

4. Control is lost. For many couples, this is the most

5. Privacy is lost. Processes at the left side of the continuum are completely private. But once you move to the right side, this privacy decreases. Court proceedings are open to the public and almost anyone can access your Court file. If confidentiality is important, couples need to stay at the left side of the continuum.

Going through a separation and divorce, and achieving a resolution that is fair for both parents and their children is important and takes a certain amount of time, money and energy. But isn’t life too short to spend many, many months and many, many dollars on this?

There are easier ways to separate, and they are found at the left side of the process option continuum.

Hypnosis For Sexual Issues

Dr Luke any people experience sexual difficulties at some point during their life, sometimes these problems will resolve themselves but if they don’t then professional help may be required. Sexual difficulties can occur early in an individual’s life, develop suddenly after a previously satisfying sex life or develop gradually. It is important that physical factors are ruled out before hypnotherapy is sought, so consulting your GP should be your first step.

Sexual difficulties are generally problems that prevent the individual or couple from enjoying sex, and make sex difficult. The most common sexual problems for men are erectile impotence and premature ejaculation, and for women, failure to reach orgasm or vaginismus.

M

Inhibited sexual desire (ISD) Inhibited sexual desire (ISD) is the persistent loss of desire for sexual activity. It is common for sexual desire to fluctuate during an individual’s life, however if the problem persists it may be time to seek help. ISD is more common in women than men, however it can affect men too. Decreased sexual desire can be caused by depression, fatigue, stress, pregnancy, ageing, anxiety or relationship problems, however it can also be caused by a decrease in oestrogen or testosterone levels. If testosterone deficiency is the cause of ISD, replacement therapy is often recommended. If not, an appropriate specialist is helpful to try and determine the underlying cause Anorgasmia Anorgasmia is a condition characterised by an absence or persistent delay of orgasm following a

normal sexual excitement phase. Individuals suffering from anorgasmia often experience a strong sexual desire and adequate arousal but are unable to achieve orgasm.

Premature ejaculation (PE) Premature ejaculation is characterised by a lack of voluntary control over ejaculation. Although most men will experience this at least once during their life (often during their first sexual experiences) they soon learn ejaculatory control. Premature ejaculation is the most common sexual problem for men and research suggests it affects approximately 25-40% of males. The condition can be associated with performance anxiety, depression, sexual repression and lack of confidence. Sex therapists or psychologists can use a series of exercises to enable men to gain ejaculatory control, most commonly the socalled start-stop technique.

Erectile dysfunction (ED) / impotence Erectile dysfunction (also known as impotence) is a condition characterised by the inability to develop or maintain an erection. Occasional impotence is common and often caused by stress or performance anxiety, however if the problem persists, professional help may be required Treatment for sexual problems If you’re experiencing sexual difficulties it is important to first contact your GP to rule out any physical factors.

Hypnotherapy may also be beneficial for individuals who want to release negative or limiting beliefs by identifying the triggers that started them. Learning how to manage and deal with them may then be possible.

Hypnoanalysis therefore, may help to identify the root cause of the issue and deal with it.

Alternative Medicine More Powerful Than Imagined

By Judy Spence, ND(QC), RN

S

ciatica sufferers will be happy to learn that we use NAET to correct this in one or two treatments. NAET enjoys great success in correcting infertility when used to treat both partners. People suffering rhinitis with months or years of runny nose, lots of mucous and continual hacking clear up in just a few NAET treatments. Itchy skin that keeps you up day and night often responds quickly to supplements combined with NAET and acupuncture.

NAET, acupuncture, herbals and homeopathy are the modalities we use most at the NAET Clinics Ottawa and Outaouais. I am always humbled when the right modality, delivered in just the right way from experienced practitioners effects a turn-around in just one to three treatments. Alternative medicine treatments succeed often where conventional medicine does not even begin to make headway. Sometimes it is because we address issues that conventional medicine completely ignores. You cannot treat something that you deny exists. That is why we succeed with food allergies when western medicine denies that they can even be treated. Of course, it is not every health problem that we can treat and it is not every condition we can treat more successfully than western medicine. However, the same can be said of western medicine. There is much that alternative medicine addresses that western medicine cannot.

At the NAET Clinics Ottawa and Outaouais we take a Holistic approach to making you Whole. I have been in the medical field for over 40 years and in the alternative

16

medicine field for over 15 years. A holistic approach to wellness recognizes that people are individuals and solutions are not cookie cutter with each person getting the same treatment. It also seeks to identify and correct underlying issues.

We differ in our genetics, in our lifestyle and in our paradigm of wellness. One person feels that their allergy is caused by physical triggers while another that their allergy/other chronic condition is from a psychological cause. NAET, homeopathy and acupuncture’s take on allergy is that have physical triggers and some do have psychological triggers.

Asthma is something most of us know as being a physiological reaction to an offending allergy trigger but asthma can also be triggered by emotional upset. There is interaction between the physical and the emotional.

Case in point, a woman who was eating an apple and watching TV when the World Trade Center was hit. If she had a spouse and friends in the towers, she may have experienced a huge fight or flight reaction to witnessing that shocking event. Her blood pressure changed, she had a choking feeling, faintness and other physiological responses arising from emotional triggering as she watched the horrific scene unfold. Her body may have been fooled into thinking her response was allergy to the apple and from that time onward she may display the same responses to apples because her body misinterpreted her response as being allergy.

That is why we always check allergy on three levels: physical (you touch it, you react), nutritional (you eat it but do not absorb or utilize it) and psychological (a misinterpretation of a psychological event) as any of these can trigger allergy or an allergy-like response.

All these responses to exposures equally need to be corrected which is what we do.

he elbow is a complex joint formed by three long bones. Four sets of muscles help move the joint and are attached to the bones by thick tendons. Damage to any of these structures or to the joint's network of nerves, blood vessels and ligaments can lead to elbow pain.

Most elbow pain results from overuse injuries, often sports-related but also as a result of activities or work that require repetitive arm, wrist, or hand movements.

Elbow pain may also be due to arthritis, but the elbow joint is much less prone to wear-and-tear damage than other joints are. Common causes of elbow pain include ligament sprain and tears, golfer’s elbow, dislocation, elbow fracture, tendinitis, tennis elbow, osteoarthritis, or irritation or damage to one of the nerves in the elbow.

Acupuncture can be very effective for the many possible problems of the elbow, both acute and chronic.

Acupuncture treatment can relieve pain, aid healing and help prevent future problems with elbow disorders.

Although muskulo-skeletal problems like elbow disorders are typically due to external causes such as a blow to the joint or an overuse injury, internal weaknesses of the body can complicate or aggravate a problem once it is there. So we also look at the overall health of the internal functions to find any areas of imbalance, particularly those that affect the meridians of the elbow. Imbalances will contribute to weakness in the elbow and make it more prone to injury, as well as more slow to heal.

Our bodies are amazing organisms that have the ability to self-regulate and repair themselves. In any disorder the body attempts to minimize, repair and overcome the damage to its normal functions and in many cases, given adequate rest and support, our bodies are able to recover successfully. However, in cases where the body isn’t able to correct a problem on its own, acupuncture is a promising treatment that helps bolster the body’s healing abilities so that we can return to our normal, healthy selves.

Laura’s Numerology News For July/August 2015 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 6 to your number.

1. July. Put yourself first, put your feet up and relax after a long crazy journey. You need to lighten up and have some fun and heal after last year…..right? Buy yourself something extravagant.

Aug. Duty calls, so get back to work. You can still factor in fun, but you will have to put other people first. Home and career obligations take you off the path of joy.

2. July. Everything slows down or even comes to a big halt in July. Put off large expenditures until Aug. Wait it out and relax and spend time with your loved ones. Find some Zen. Aug. – As you probably already have sensed this is a very heavy “duty” year, but you can feel free to have a short vacation now. Is there wedding or reunion in your plans?

home and family. Careers can change, and can mean gain and recognition for you.

Bowen Therapy Success Stories

B

owen Therapy, also known as Bowenwork, is the next generation of bodywork. Precise sets of moves over soft tissue stimulate the body to rebalance so that the self-healing mechanisms can more effectively work.

Results may include pain and symptom reduction, relaxed muscles, healing of injuries, decreased inflammation and swelling, increased circulation and lymph flow, improved digestion, hormone balancing and more.

The practitioner’s moves are so gentle that babies, the elderly, and those who are bedridden or in severe pain can be treated.

The list of issues helped by Bowenwork is long and the range is wide. See practitioners’ websites for more information. Who better to describe the benefits than clients?

Chronic Pain & Injuries “I had an extremely sore hip as a result of a fall. The pain was so severe that I could not sit. I tried chiropractic treatment, but still had problems. I made an appointment with Carolynne. I was amazed that by the third treatment I had a period of five days without any pain. By the fourth session I no longer had hip pain. I most definitely would and have recommended Carolynne to others and they too are delighted to be pain free. Carolynne is an excellent Bowen Practitioner. The well-being of her clients is her top priority.”

A.G., 78

“I suffered a back and neck injury due to an automobile accident in March 2014. I went for seven months of treatment with an osteopath and chiropractor adding up to four treatments a week. Prior to seeing Bette I was on a cane and serious pain medication as I could barely walk, function or sleep. I was recommended to Bette by a woman who told me how her back pain went away with Bowen Therapy after months of chiropractic treatment, which didn’t help her at all.

I was a bit skeptical at first as I had never heard of this type of therapy. After the first treatment I was off the cane and the pain killers within 24 hours. I continued on a six week treatment plan and the relief I found was something short of a miracle. As well my eczema on my arms cleared up, a

24

July/August 2015

SUCCESS STORIES large cyst under my knee went away, I slept better, and had an overall better healthier feeling. She made a huge difference in my quality of life and I am now on a maintenance plan.

Thank you, Bette, for helping me when nothing else worked.”

L.B., 2014

Postural Issues Madeline says she became a certified Bowen Therapy practitioner because no other modality diagnosed that a misaligned pelvis caused chronic lower back pain, leg length discrepancy and plantar fasciitis. Bowen corrected all that by relaxing the muscles and fascia so that the pelvis realigned. “I had pain relief from the first session with Bette and continued to improve every session.

It was almost miraculous after so many years. People with chronic pain haven’t tried everything until they’ve tried Bowen Therapy.”

PTSD “I suffer from PTSD. After three Bowen Therapy sessions with Abbie, my entire muscular system was able to completely relax. What an incredible and emotional relief. I have also noticed that my fibromyalgia is less severe. As someone surviving with PTSD and its many symptoms for the past four years, this is such an accomplishment.”

L., 53 There’s a Bowen Therapy Practitioner in the OttawaGatineau region located near you! Refer to the business cards adjacent to this article and visit our Facebook page at www.Facebook.com/BowenTherapyOttawaRegion

Autoimmune Conditions Avelia’s client has a long history of Chronic Fatigue.

“For the first time in 17 years I was able to receive my family for a supper last Sunday. I was also able to control my stress days before.”

L.M., 2014 “I first saw Susan for a severe frozen shoulder & arthritis in hands, wrists, ankles & hips. I also wanted to improve my posture, but my pain was my first priority! I saw Susan a few weeks in a row, then had my break for my body to take it all in & feel better. I was pleased & pain free after only two sets of treatments!”

T.R., 2014

Louise Bédard Duguay Membre Fédération Canadienne des Orthothérapeutes (CFO) + 27 ans d’expérience Reçu d’assurance

“I have MS (Multiple Sclerosis) which causes weakness in the left side of my body and pain in different parts of my body.

I started receiving Bowen in April 2014 and it has been life changing for me. I sleep well now, have energy, no depression and the debilitating hip pain has completely disappeared. I am grateful to Abbie as I am feeling little or no pain.” J., 62 Bedwetting “Bowen has made all the difference for our 12 year old son.

After just four Bowen sessions, he went from wetting the bed two or three times per week to once every two weeks and it continues to improve. Thanks so much, Madeline!”

Carp Ridge EcoWellness Centre is Re-opening!

Katherine Willow N.D. fter a year of cleaning up, restructuring and tending to family, CREWC will re-open this fall with programs on health, healing and sustainability; spaces to rent for holistic health practitioners and workshops; an online store; and a holistic assessment service.

For those of you who haven’t visited Carp Ridge EcoWellness Centre, it’s on 190 acres of rocky wilderness overlooking the Carp River valley, about thirty minutes northwest of downtown Ottawa. Trails wind through magical wetlands filled with wildlife. White pines, ash, spruce and ironwood are home to songbirds, hawks and owls. There is a holistic clinic, a learning centre, a yurt, two straw bale cabins, a pond cabin and three colourful office cabins as well as two tents on platforms, each with their own woodstove and composting toilet which practitioners can rent for treatments or workshops. A large deer-fenced garden awaits planting and is growing wild medicinal herbs in the meantime…

Over these last eighteen years we have run programs ranging from holistic family retreats to professional development courses for doctors of all stripes. CREWC hosted the first Forest School in North America, which continues in the form of Ridgewoods Outdoor Programs for 3-6 year old children run by experienced teacher Sara Raeesi.

However, the central activity at CREWC has been the Carp Ridge Natural Health Clinic, now simply Carp Ridge EcoWellness Centre, where many conditions were treated, including cancer. For several years we also offered a Healing House where patients could stay, be nourished with healthy food according to their body type and condition, and cared for by a team of holistic practitioners.

The results we saw amazed even ourselves. After starting to use a new concept of disease and healing called German New Medicine, we witnessed many cancer patients recovering without their treatments.

In ten years we saved our provincial health insurance (OHIP) over two million dollars. Now we would like

to put our experience into programs to pass on this extraordinary knowledge, both to the public and other health care practitioners.

Starting this fall after an open house in September, there will be classes such as meditation, body types & cooking; health assessment services; and products for health, healing and a sustainable lifestyle. We will begin offering monthly healing circles by donation in the village of Carp to introduce the idea of emotional work being as important as diet, exercise and adequate sleep. And I’m pleased to announce that the “Ask a Naturopathic Doctor” column will restart in Tone!

LET GO and LET GOD What exactly does that mean?

By Barbara Simpson

If I am a spark of source, then we all are, and at our core, I am you, and you are me.

I express through you, and you express through me. I

W

e use this saying frequently with the idea behind it that we turn our life over to an omnipresence that would take care of life for us, putting everything into place before us. Letting go, and surrendering to a greater force outside of ourselves.

Lately, I’ve come to regard this saying as having a very different meaning. Letting go to me means letting go of the stranglehold we have on life, of what or how we have come to define ourselves to be, of the mental images & understanding, that keeps us secure in our world. To me, It’s ‘Letting go’ of what I term as the stagnant flow of energy, letting go of the resistance to change, and rather opening to becoming something or someone new, and that can be SCARY, right?

Is there a greater force out there? There certainly is. It’s a constant flow of energy, that’s everywhere, in everything, in everyone & is Universal. It’s there just waiting to be tapped into & brought into your life. It’s LIFE itself!

It’s not just external, it’s internal, I bet so many of us here are so stuck in our heads that we really have no idea what it feels like to be truly in our hearts and bodies, truly ALIVE, Aligned & On PURPOSE. I say feels like....because when we’re aligned, we don’t have to think about how we operate, it IS who we are, our modus operandi.

Surrendering to the greater force doesn’t have to mean giving away a part of ourselves, and losing ourselves... it means FINDING ourselves. It means surrendering our minds, doctrines, and belief systems & opening ourselves to new possibilities. It also means breaking free of our perceptions and judgements (of others, & of ourselves), and viewing life from our truth, from our hearts.

It means, moving beyond Fear. Have you ever heard the saying that “Life awaits us on the other side of Fear”...?

Fear happens when we stop listening within, & pay too much attention outside of us, and allow our minds to be our driving force.. When we stop loving ourselves, we disconnect from Source, from who we truly are...

PURE LOVE. If we are a spark of Source incarnate, & Source is Divine, is God, & God is Love, then we are pure unconditional love at our core. The rest is driven by our mind, by our personality which is our EGO (our personality) which we do need, to discern and make choice, but it’s what and how we choose that matters most.

38

am not lesser or better than you, and you are not lesser or better than me. I am not separate from you, and you are not separate from me. I therefore have no need to fear you, but only have to LOVE you & embrace every aspect of you.

You are a beautiful Divine spark of source (of God), and so am I. Every part of you (and me) is Magnificent... is Perfect. There is nothing inside to Let Go, or to Forgive, or to Attain... there is just to fully BE. There is only to fully express the truth of who you are through your personality, that lays hidden beneath FEAR, to get out of your mind...

My greatest Joy is to express LOVE, verbally & energetically, without any expectation in return, for that expectation is mentally driven & creates an energy blockage to the Universal Flow. When I step out of Fear, I step out of my mind & into my heart. I step to the place of observer, to the place of compassion & gratitude for everything & everyone. When I go there, I need nothing in return from you, for I get all I need from within...

LOVE...JOY...PEACE...CREATIVITY...expression of my own divinity.

Through the Law of Attraction....what I put out comes back to me. The same Universal Energy fills the space of what I just gave to you and to the world. What do I choose to fill myself with? What do you choose to fill yourself with? I choose Love. The gift of Love that I give you, I give to me. Why choose differently?

So, I say to you once more....Let Go...& Let GOD......

Out! Let go of Fear, and express your true self, and let the domino effect occur. ONLY then will you and we be living Heaven on Earth.

Join us at one of our Sunday non-denominational Spiritual Services where we offer a meditation, period of Spiritual Healing, discourse and messages from Spirit.

Our services are held at the Westboro Masonic Hall, 430 Churchill Ave. N. Ottawa, at 10:30am. All are welcome.

Ignite Your Intuition

By Kristin Pierce, MSI

Retaining the positive qualities from these three roots fills us up with love and wholesome qualities.

1. Extend this energy first of all to those we love – including ourselves.

2. Last step is tricky – extend our wholesome, loving energy to those who have caused us harm or are difficult to be with. This really makes our hearts more spacious.

3. Each person’s experience will be different. Provides a doorway to reconnect/ fill up with love/ forgive and understand.

4. Part of a timeless flow of life, connect to the no birth no death nature of yourself. In the Touchings of the Earth we use our body to touch the Ultimate Dimension, to touch the ground of our being, to touch Nirvana and to heal and transform 5. We renew ourselves because we are applying the Diamond Sutra, The Discourse on Right View and the Sutra on the Full Awareness of Breathing. In this exercise the teachings of the Buddha come alive in us as experience.

MindScape will Awaken your Awareness and give you a fresh perspective on the workings of this world we are spinning on.

MindScape is an incredible two-day course coming to Ottawa this fall that teaches you how to harness the full potential of your mind. You learn how to lead yourself into a relaxed state of mind where you build a mental “Workshop”, which allows you to employ a variety of useful techniques. You learn through experiencing guided exercises how to unleash the intuitive power of your mind, for a multitude of benefits. Whether you are an energy worker, a parent, a teacher, an entrepreneur, a body worker, an athlete, a coach, or a layperson, MindScape will train you to use techniques to enhance every area of your life.

Pay attention to the immense benefit that is on the horizon for you. It’s time to Ignite Your Intuition & Change Your World as you know it! Register today at www.theSerenityStudio.ca/MindScape.html

veryone has the ability to use their intuition, but most of us need some help to reconnect with this gift.

Intuition is that gut feeling you have when something doesn’t ‘feel right.’ It’s that tiny voice in your head that is telling you, “Don’t do it.” It is that inner knowing when you’re filled with so much passion about something that you know you have to go for it. The problem is that most people don’t listen to it or know how to access it at will.

“Igniting Your Intuition” means sparking and unleashing this powerful intuitive ability that you already have within you, so that you can access your intuition WHEN you want to and use it HOW you want to. Intuition is an innate knowing which gives you access to all the information in the Universe.

Accessing your intuition allows you to get in tune with your subconscious mind, which is a direct link to your limiting belief systems and Universal Consciousness. MindScape in Ottawa: September 25th from 7-9:30PM; But I’m guessing you’ve already heard that.

The ability to see perfection

By Rupa Manjari Devi Das

W

e like to see beautiful and perfect things. To be able to see perfection needs a proper perspective. If we already have an opinion of what we are looking at, then what we see is not the original view; instead, it is the view through coloured glass, not the view of reality. For example, if we have done the posture Downward Facing Dog many times, then we have a pre-set perception of how to do the posture. When the instructor does it in a different way, we will judge that the instructor is not doing the pose “right”. We use our own standard to judge others and are not able to accept the difference. By this way, the posture practice is only a repetition from memory, from an old pattern, and we have lost the fresh direct experience. We live in the past. That’s why we always like to have new postures, we feel easily bored.

We lose enthusiasm in a short time. How can we enjoy life when we have to always look around or our heart doesn’t feel satisfied? To let our heart settle down, we can not expect to search from the outside, we need to change our perspective. Accept everything as it is and work from there. Only by this way we can experience inner peace and calm to see the beauty of reality even in an imperfect situation. Perfection exists everywhere when we are able to see. Do we really have the eyes that can see or are we always looking for something to complain about?

ast week I was attending a breakfast meeting and the speaker had us do an exercise to identify our true values. I like doing these once in a while because it lets me measure if my values have changed over time.

As time goes by, you will notice that yes, your values do change over time. This is quite normal because as you go through life, people, events, circumstances will change your vision of the world around you.

The most important question that you need to ask yourself once you have identified your true values is “Am I living my life according to my stated values?”

I would argue that there are a great number of people who are not living in alignment with their values. I see this all of the time in my professional practice! There is a “disconnect” between their values and how they are living their lives. This lack of congruency is causing them grief, stress and a general sense of unhappiness.

Getting oneself back into alignment is a challenging endeavour but once you do, life begins to flow much better. I have many of my clients do The Congruency Test to identify the possible lack of alignment in their lives. It is a simple yet powerful exercise that sheds a great deal of insight into the things that are important to you. Having clarity of your core values is a great way to help you identify what is truly important in your life and it drives you to really go after what you want out of life. If you would like to do The Congruency Test, please email me and I will gladly send it out to you.

ALCHEMY As Above So Below

When we undertake to create something, we establish a new heaven, as it were, and from it the work that we desire to create flows into us. For such is the immensity of human beings.

Paracelsus

W

Alchemy—the art of transmutation—came into prominence with the Alexandrian Greeks. It was then introduced to the Arabs, who then transmitted this art, the forerunner of chemistry, to Europe. The alchemists played a tremendous part in the early history of the Rosicrucian Order. If there is one thing for mystics in general, and Rosicrucian’s in particular, to follow, it is spiritual alchemy. This form of alchemy amounts to one of the foundations of philosophy, and sets out the path we must follow in order to fulfil our inner evolution.

There lies the Great Work that each human being must accomplish in order to discover the Philosopher’s Stone that is to be found in the deepest part of themselves, and to achieve the perfection of their own nature.

hat is alchemy? A medieval philosophy and early form of chemistry whose aims were the changing of common metals into gold, the discovery of a cure for all diseases, and the preparation of a potion that gives eternal youth. The imagined substance capable of turning other metals into gold was called the Philosopher’s Stone. Because their goals were so unrealistic, and because they had so little success in achieving them, the practitioners of alchemy in the middle Ages got a reputation as fakers and con artists. But this reputation is not fully deserved.

While it may be controversial whether they ever actually succeeded in turning lead into gold (one of their main goals), they did make discoveries that helped to shape modern chemistry. To know whether the alchemist of the past succeeded in transmuting base metals into gold is incidental. The most important thing is the fact that they were convinced that human beings have the power not to take the place of nature but to emulate it. Alchemists discovered and purified a number of chemical elements, including mercury, sulfur, and arsenic.

Sri Chinmoy Answers Question: How can I purify my mind so that I can have a good meditation?

SELF-DISCOVERY through

Alchemy and AMORC

In the late seventeenth century, following a plan originally proposed by Francis Bacon in The New Atlantis, a colony of Rosicrucian leaders was organized to establish the Rosicrucian arts and sciences in America. These Rosicrucian communities made valuable contributions to the newly emerging American culture in the fields of printing, philosophy, the sciences and arts. Later such eminent Americans as Benjamin Franklin, Thomas Jefferson, and Thomas Paine were intimately connected with the Rosicrucian community.

In fact, many Rosicrucian’s played an important role in the great alchemical and social process leading to the founding of a new nation, America.

Moving to the present day, Trillium (a local affiliated body of the world wide Rosicrucian Order, AMORC) is very pleased to announce that Steven Kalec, a Grand Councillor for Quebec and the Maritimes of the AMORC Grand Lodge for North America, a Traditional Martinist, Master Mason, and a long-time alchemist and student of Rosicrucian mysticism, has kindly consented to present a full-day workshop centered on Spiritual Alchemy. He has studied alchemy with the Philosophers of Nature and has followed Manfred Junius through his many European seminars. Steve has given presentations on both spiritual and practical alchemy in USA, Canada and Europe.

Call for dates & locations: 613-232-2387 Offered as a free community service by students of Sri Chinmoy.

SRI CHINMOY: The best thing to do is to feel for a few minutes during your meditation that you have no mind. Say, “I have no mind, I have no mind. What I have is the heart.” Then after some time, say, “No, I don’t have the heart. What I have is the soul.” When you say, “I have no mind,” you are saying, “I don’t care for this mind, which is bringing me so much impurity and torturing me so much.”

The nature of the mind is almost always impure, bringing in dark and bad thoughts. Even when it is not doing this, it is still a victim to such things as doubt, jealousy, fear etc. All negative things first attack the mind. You may reject them for a minute, but the next minute they knock at your mind’s door again.

The heart, on the other hand, is not like the mind that is always opening its door to impure ideas. It is much, much purer because affection, love, compassion and other divine qualities are already in the heart.

Even if you have fear or jealousy in the heart, the good qualities of the heart will still come forward.

Even better than the heart is the soul. Here there is no impurity. The soul is all purity, light, joy and Divinity. When you say, “I have the heart,” you feel that the heart has some purity. But when you say, “I have the soul,” you are flooded with purity. Then, after some time, you have to go deeper and farther and not only say, “I have the soul,” but “I am the soul.” The moment you say, “I am the soul,” and you meditate on this truth, your soul’s infinite purity will enter into your heart. Then from the heart, the infinite purity of your soul will enter into the mind. In this way you will purify your mind and you will be able to have a wonderful meditation every day.

Another reason for laughter yoga! training (children & teen yoga).

Children are in touch with their inner world and want to balance it with their external life. So it is not surprising that many schools are now providing mindfulness training, yoga and meditation classes and having good results.

As a yoga teacher and trainer, I experience the joy and innocence of young children on a regular basis. If we listen to, observe and give children space to express themselves naturally, we can re-discover our own joy which is waiting to be rekindled. They are big Souls in small bodies and have much wisdom to share with us. I am very grateful for their wisdom and what they teach me in every class.

Past Lives

by Laurie Fraser e carry energy from our past lives. Sometimes it affects our circumstances in this life.

When I was younger, I refused to wear turtlenecks or necklaces; I was born with a birthmark on my neck; I freaked when a friend jokingly put her hands around my throat. Recently I learned about a past life where I was choked to death. I was a male who was attacked from behind in the dark. (Boston, 1818) I am able to communicate with energy by using muscle testing & clairvoyance. When performing a healing, I sometimes clear old energy from past lives that is stored or stuck in organs or chakras. When I remove it, the body has one less thing to carry. Also it decreases the likelihood of repeating the same patterns. (Old energy can attract more of the same.)

I worked on a preschooler who sometimes wouldn't eat, often expressing worry about whether it was "the last one". He saved his Hallowe'en candy. He wouldn't finish a box of cereal, insisting it be saved, even when his parents assured him there was more at the store.

His energy led me to a lifetime he spent on the western coast of South America. He was the mother of many children living in abject poverty. The husband had died and she had few recourses. I cleared "fear of lack" from his root chakra. He is still careful boy, but he left the obsession behind.

A toddler who woke with night terrors, shouting "Leave me alone!" when his parents tried to comfort him, had been killed in his last life. He was a woman who'd been raped and murdered in her bed. I cleared that, and the night terrors stopped immediately.

More commonly I work on adults: A women's anger led to 4 lifetimes ago in Kazakhstan: A woman born in 1642, died from a bladder infection at age 45. She'd been "pissed off" about her irresponsible husband.

A cat's aggressiveness led to 5 lifetimes ago: She was a cat then too, tortured by her owner.

A man's impotence led to 2 lifetimes ago in China: Helplessness and grief about his son's death.

A woman's infection led to her last life in the States: She died from infection 10 days after giving birth. The child who she didn't live to raise became her sister today. The old energy was removed from her spleen.

A woman's grief about her divorce led to 7 lifetimes ago: Her ex-husband in her current life was her brother then. They lived where the north of Iran is now. She adored her older brother who left on a spiritual journey with a holy man; she suffered terribly when he left.

Although he assured her that he would return, he never did. She never got over it. The block was in her heart chakra. Removing the old heartbreak made it easier to cope with today's loss.

For me, the most mind-blowing part of this work has been understanding that sometimes we are at the mercy of our energy. Even centuries-old energy!

ou have so many blessing in your life. You are surrounded by the manifestation of your Divine self. So much is positive and glowing for you. Are you aware of the vastness of this? Did you realize that your life itself is a blessing? It’s a blessing from Source to Creation. Your life facilitates not only the understanding of what is, but the creation of new – new understanding, new perception, participation, creation on a vast number of levels. The blessing of you is a gift to the Universe. The uniqueness, the divine, exquisite expression that is who you have chosen to be is the ultimate gift.

Look for the beautiful, the pristine, the glowing and appreciate them for all that they are. Look for the humble, the normal, the just as-is. These are exquisite as well. Look at the horrible, the terrible, the ugly and realize the blessings that come through the expressions of all in this way are gifts. They lie in the understanding that there is dimension to everything. You are but a part of a whole. That creation here includes all things: dark and light, good, evil, positive, unpleasant. The balance is right. You need to see yourself in multi-dimensions to fully realize that you are everything. And yet when you look and prefer something, you are creating new experience. And so dear ones who read this article, know that you are appreciated for participation in this dualistic, material, and yet spiritual, realm. We honour the gifts of you, who you are, what you do, how you feel, what you think, how you know yourself to be in the world.

So for this beautiful experience of July, know that it is here (and it’s summer time for most of you) to show you the glowing growth that represents you, ultimately. It has its times of darkness and light, cold and hot, and just-right times and temperatures, as do we all in life’s experience. Yet as a whole, such glorious, exquisiteness the whole package is. Those who worry about the impending dark or the overabundance of their perception of the negative aspects, to you we say: appreciate who you are. Know that you are loved for

all. And you can find ease as you remember that you are magnificent anyway, in spite of, and for. There is nothing that we hold you in judgement for, for you are experiencing what it is to be in your life. Know that all is well dear ones.

With peace of mind we leave you, in this summer time contemplation of all that you are, all that you may be, and the experience of what-is. Allow yourself to appreciate and understand you are the gift.
