Bringing Grief out of the Shadows…

Grief – Wringing in the New Year

By Vonne Solís, Angel Therapy Practitioner®

J

anuary, ugh. For many people recovering from loss, this month represents not least, the beginning of another year without someone they love. The first of the month can represent the start of the countdown to the next loss anniversary. It can be a stark reminder of the upcoming roster of holidays yet to be survived. For many, it may reflect the disappointment and guilt of unmet resolutions long tossed out the window; a blank slate all that is left of their heart.

If you are going through recent loss, the holiday season can be draining; the thought of another year daunting. The feelings of abandonment, isolation and sorrow can linger for years, triggered repeatedly by unsuspecting events.

Holidays in genera and New Year’s particularly, is a time when many grievers slip further into depression, overwhelmed by the feeling of hopelessness and loneliness as they struggle to find new meaning for their life.

In early grief it’s natural to feel immobilized by fear with the realization our dreams have been shattered; to envy those who have yet to experience loss, believing their lives are perfect and beyond heartache (not true by the way).

These beliefs foster more intense feelings of despair and resentment towards not only strangers, but those still living that we love dearly. Life can fast become a vicious cycle of torment through the many unresolved issues the grieving struggle with on a daily basis. As a bereaved mom I know these struggles well.

Metaphysics teaches that we choose the circumstances and timing of our birth and death. As such, it is important to accept that the passing of our loved one is part of the greater plan we have perfected together and release them in peace and love with the respect they deserve in their decision to leave us, no matter how they died. While acceptance isn’t easy, it may be comforting to know that many dying people have reported seeing deceased loved ones and angels prior to their transition.

There are books on the subject, but I found the work of Dr. John Lerma gives a powerful voice to this subject from patients of all ages preparing to transition.

Through his research at a Houston palliative center, in every case cited and hundreds more not included in his books, the dying reported seeing previously deceased loved ones and angels hovering nearby, ready to assist them in their imminent passing. Research shows that

millions of people believe in angels.

Why then wouldn’t we believe in the ongoing presence of spirit loved ones?

To cope with grief, you may wish to contemplate communicating with your loved one in spirit to help you release all anger and intense pain.

Carrying anger from the death of a loved one ties them to us in undesirable ways and prevents us from healing from all suffering. When you trust in the presence of your spirit loved one you will start to feel more optimistic and accepting of your circumstances. You will believe you can face this and every other new year to follow. You’ll find hope.

When you feel challenged, ask your loved one and the angels to help you stay focused in finding your unique journey. Believe there is a reason for everything that is happening. Find the silver lining. Make a plan. Choose to live powerfully.

A Journey to Home

Are you ready to reclaim your Divine blueprint?

by Amâeil (Melinda Urban RIHR)

A

scension is the movement of your consciousness from your personality program to your effortless, magical, authentic nature. But many fear being luminous in their Light and standing out, falsely believing that this will intensify the separation consciousness which already tears at the heart’s peace – feelings of not belonging and aloneness. But nothing could be further from the truth because your ascension is the fulfillment of your core purpose: to BE love, and remember that you are already in unity with All That Is. One cannot be a vessel of the highest love without acknowledging the darkness, and the deepest shadow looming over Earth has been the genetically usurped architecture of the human body. So remembering your authentic nature requires a deep cleansing of the distortions in your emotional body, mental triggers, ancestry, false memories, karma, implants, traumas from other dimensional experiences, etc.

These distortions are inorganic, artificial energetic structures that interrupt the alignment of your original, Divine blueprint with Source energy, and have intentionally blocked humanity from understanding itself and its vast possibilities. The forms of these disruptions are extensive, damaging and insidious. The dis-eases on this planet, emotional pain, addictions, and mental illnesses are manifestations of manipulations by the dark forces who are using our life force for their own perpetuation. When we enter into ego-driven behaviour, and give away our power, we feed this siphoning of energy. However, the majority does not have conscious awareness of these interferences and they are often just accepted as reality on Earth. Yet, they can be accessed and cleared through the holographic, multi-dimensional healing that I offer.

We can never ascend, nor understand the magnitude of this opportunity, through our lower mental body residing in the highly manipulated personality program (chakras 1-3) of our bio-computer. It is the controlled mind that fears not fitting in, or being cast out or persecuted, and drives someone to hide away amidst the hive mentality. Therefore, the intent is to override the manipulations through all dimensions) in order to allow the all-important eternal seed atom of Christ consciousness to ignite in the higher heart of the monadic 8th dimension of our Lightbody. We have the power.

613-253-2888 www.MelindaUrban.com

So, ascension is the resurrection of God intelligence through the transformation of the anti-life, 3D energetic architecture. Clearing and detoxification allows the transmutation of our carbon-based biology to silicate.

And as we own our shadow and those aspects that have been in resonance with fear and lower vibrations, we dismantle our personality program and reclaim our soul fragments into our wholeness. This rebuilds our spiritual-energetic foundation to allow for our expansion of consciousness, and moves our station of identity to another higher dimension/future timeline.

Ascension is by no means an easy or gentle process in this accelerated timeline. Some Indigos and Starseeds are moving aggressively through this process to be the foundational blueprint of God consciousness for the collective whole. For every person, in alignment with their own purpose, this call to be deeper in Love with the God within is a profound transformation, impacting not only our planet but our Universe.

Stay courageously true to who you really are, so that your individuality can be seen, heard and celebrated.

Yes, you will stand out! However, as you share your Light, your nature will vibrate in resonance with the essential beauty of all sentient beings and creation, more joyful in the truthful peace of journeying back Home.

Regression: A Powerful Catalyst for Moving Forward

by Lynne Cardinal

“Yesterday’s regression session completely AMAZED me. It is beyond a doubt the single most profound experience of my entire life. An indescribably huge weight has been lifted off me. The words “thank you” fall far short of the appreciation that I’m feeling for what you did. I actually woke up with a smile today for the first time in as long as I can remember.”

- P.M. e all carry our own personal history. People come to me and share how they’re carrying the past on their shoulders, and that despite memories of events that occurred sometimes 50 years ago, they still feel their effects today, in this very moment. Often events were misunderstood by a child’s perspective, with a child being unable to understand all of the factors involved in a situation. Perhaps out of love the parents relocated their child temporarily, but from the child’s perspective it meant being abandoned. Maybe one parent passed away and the child felt rejected or unloved.

W

Through hypnosis it’s possible to redefine our views of our personal history. For example, consider the client who was temporarily relocated as a child: we can ageregress and decide how to re-interpret the situation.

We can have the parents provide exactly what the child needed, irrelevant of all other factors, or we can connect with the fact that they truly were being loved and cared for. The resources of affection and caring can be provided through suggested interactions done under hypnosis. In helping to change the perceptions of personal history through hypnosis, very tangible relief can be felt in just a few sessions.

“After my session with you I felt the tightness in my chest - A. N. totally gone. And it has not returned since.”

Regressed in time through positive events, having the clients remember the good and positive moments, first empowers them to address the event that became a heavy conscious or subconscious burden. He or she can then see it from another angle, or simply decide to let go of any related anger or frustration.

At other times, burdens can be lifted without the need for regression. Sometimes focusing on the client’s objectives through various techniques is all that’s needed to help them move forward. Initial in-depth talks enable us to determine which path to follow.

“I was stressed and unhappy. I started the hypnosis sessions with a heavy, closed heart and I now feel open and without pain; I actually feel light.”

- K.M.L.

In my experience, if you’re ready to move forward and have a sincere desire to let go of old burdens and troublesome tendencies, hypnosis will bring results with a minimal investment of time. It will help you heal the past and achieve your objectives. An added benefit of this gentle modality is the deep relaxation that it generates!

HERE WE GO

Sherry Harris, MSW, RSW, Cert. Spiritual Counsellor, Teacher, Minister

W

hen you read this we will have passed through two very big thresholds. One, the December 12, 2012 date is huge; we have been told by many awakened beings it will anchor our human heart firmly and completely to the Heart of Divine Mother/Father Love. No longer will we feel cast adrift from our Source.

Many have told us that we will never be the same again after this portal is opened to us. The second is the long awaited December 21, 2012 date that the Mayan calendar predicted would herald radical change for us as we move into the 5th world where we will have the opportunity to experience zero-point energy. Zero-point energy grants us non-attachment to everything generated from our mind. It allows us to release the burdens that we have been programmed to carry for millennia. Zero point is a state of no problems, no disturbances, or conflicts. In it you become neutral, stop all attachments and stop worrying. There is nothing you crave, you simply do not need anything. This does not mean you stop living.

Indeed, you become more alive than ever before. You become a witness to the flow of life. You are liberated from the endless demands of the ego. You take life as it shows up knowing that life/consciousness is always perfect. You are no longer driven by your mortal mind, but now respond to the voice of your authentic self, the expression of your Soul.

Ultimately this re-emergence with our authentic self will happen for everyone. Your Soul is driving the process and will not stop urging you forward until you give in, get out of your own way and relax trustingly into Divine Consciousness. You can’t do this process wrong and you can’t not do it. What is unfolding is between you and your Soul. It has h already happened to you in part or completely. If you have been finding yourself letting go of things that used to bother you and find yourself no longer interested in conflict, disagreement or worry you are well on your way. Relax, celebrate your ever evolving freedom and lovingly allow your awakening process to unfold.

What a gift we have given ourselves to be physically embodied during this grand period of rising consciousness. Being able to release our attachments to our programmed thoughts and our emotions presents us the opportunity to let our Soul lead the way to peace, comfort and Divine Connection. No more being driven by the core emotion of fear. Now the Love we are can manifest in our life as it was always intended to. Love has never been an emotion, like fear. It is us at our core.

It is life; it is consciousness. When all that is not Love is removed, Love, our core, remains. Our ever evolving journey is to let go of all the conditioning we have taken on, all that has led us away from our Soul Expression, and simply be who we are, Love .

Talking To Family About Earth Changes

by Kerry Palframan RN

T

he Mayan calendar and other predictions for the current shift are about the death of the old and the birth of the new. A woman recently asked me: How do I explain this transition time on the planet to my loved ones who are not familiar with spiritual material?

You could start by comparing the Mayan calendar to the odometer of a car. As it changes over from 200,000 kilometers to 220,000, the car moves one step closer to the junk yard. In this case, the junk yard represents the end of maneuvering through life in the old ways (the old car, our current civilization) and into a new way (a new car, the dawning new epoch also predicted by the Mayans). As the old cars slowly pile up in the junkyard, which could take 20 to 30 years, the new ones will start to appear.

Out with the old and in with the new. Just as there was a transition from horse and buggy to the automobile, so too will we see the new civilization slowly integrate and take the place of the old. This galaxy and the whole universe are in a state of stretching themselves and evolving. We, as humans, cannot help but be affected: we are simply evolving into more conscious beings, beings that are more aware, more awake and more mindful.

The gateways and portals that exist between the Earth plane and that which is beyond are now open, which means more strange and foreign “cars” will now be introduced to us – ones that can fly and do other things we never previously thought of or invented. Benevolent extra-terrestrials will make themselves more known to and interact more openly with humans. Technology will rapidly evolve. The Earth’s new car will be a better, upgraded model with fancier gadgets that the old car did not have.

The new gadgets include the shifting and expanding of people’s consciousness or awareness through new insights and even a new body through more DNA activation. Our own bodies are rapidly evolving.

Awareness is expanding in all individuals whether they like it or not. All of us are going to be getting new cars and each car can communicate with the other cars on the road –avoiding accidents and road rage, bringing in more coordinated and smoother travelling capability.

All the large institutions, corporations and governments will also be changing, expanding and evolving – getting a new operating system, trading up to a new car. It is the beginning of the predicted Thousand Years of Peace epoch.

The Mayan calendar does not end in 2012. The planet will not die – ever. She is a living conscious being and holds loving sacred space for us to play on and create as we wish.

Know that your loved ones are safe. Do not let them buy into the fear the press would have you believe that the world is ending. Yes, society as we know it will metaphorically crumble and the old institutions, like old cars, will go to the junkyard. But they will be replaced with better operating, more sophisticated and environmentally sustainable institutions. Health care, governments in general and the way all humans interact will shift. The old will go to the junkyard and a new and better world will emerge.

Happy New Year 2013!

I

t’s that time again for us all to give our New Years Resolution to the universe and begin a fresh start to living your best life! The great thing about 2013 is the energy vibrations of the number 2013 is assisting us in letting go, transforming ourselves, & big endings.

Absolute complete endings of what no longer serves us (unlike last year when the planetary vibrations were all about surrender & not a lot of action).

I find resolutions work best if the are going along with numerological vibration of the year, this year for sure is all about letting, what wants to be finished in your life? For a moment just get out a piece of paper or your computer and write the first thing that pops in your head when you ask,�What needs to be let go of for good from my life, what no longer serves me?�

The next step is to write down what you have to gain by achieving your resolution. What is at the very root of what you desire to achieve? Then see and feel yourself as that now. Yes visualize yourself as having your goal already but also having all the desired effects of your goal as well. Visualizing is simply daydreaming a few times a day. Keep it simple.

Many people spend much time planning out how they are going to achieve their goal but you would save yourself much time and energy by visualizing then

Marlene Stevens www.psychicmarstevens.com psychicmarstevens@hotmail.com allowing the universe to bring the best route for your goals to manifest to you. All you have to do is give your intention to the universe, then be mindful and notice when an opportunity or best path to achieve your goal is there and act on it. This does not mean you to not take any action towards your goal but I am just suggesting for better success with your goals more time visualizing, following guidances, and making simpler plans then making big plans that you do not follow through. A good example of this is someone whom desires to lose weight and they may plan to go to the gym for an hour a day. This might not be the ideal path for that individual to achieve their goal, so give it to the universe and you may suddenly have your neighbour come over and ask you to join the walking club 2 times a week with her.

Then simple articles about food substitutions from high fat foods to low fat foods might cross your desk. This is the universe in action showing you your best path to your goal.

For resolutions to work you need to keep it simple.

You do not need to plan how , just give the intention to the universe. Another helpful tool is to notice all your self talk around your resolution , write it out. Go ahead give this simple resolution technique a try.

DNA Appliance Dr Paul Greenacre

T

he DNA appliance™ system is a patented, removable, dental appliance, which harnesses the body’s natural ability for self-correction through gene-environment interactions – by using development mechanisms that are encoded at the level of the human genome. Previous dental appliances mechanically correct crooked teeth, the DNA appliance™ system aims to put the body back onto its correct developmental path – a biomimetic approach.

This makes the DNA appliance system unique in dental, orthodontic and craniofacial correction.

The DNA appliance™ system is a result of 15 years of research; this is a remarkable new approach to dental, orthodontic and craniofacial therapy.

Unlike traditional braces, the DNA appliance™ system is not worn all the time. People who want to get into shape spend some time in the gym – but they also spend time resting and recovering. Using the same principle, the DNA appliance™ system is only worn in the early evening (after school or work) and all night while asleep. It is not worn during the day – or while eating – so no one needs to know you’re in therapy.

What can you expect from this form of treatment?

Patients often report a broader, wider smile – with teeth in a better position. Some people with Obstructive Sleep Apnea find that the quality of their sleep improves, and others find improvements in their snoring issues.

But, in some cases, there can be additional benefits.

Patients have noticed improvements in their facial appearance, a bit like a “DNA facelift” without using any surgery, injections or drugs. Some parents have noticed how their children are more focused, have improved behaviour, and perform better in school and sports. While we are still researching the overall benefits of the DNA appliance™ system, the applications of this approach seem to fit the needs of many patients in the 21st century.

The DNA appliance™ system is comfortable, practical and painless. It involves no surgery, no drugs and no injections, relying instead on natural, physiologic processes, such as swallowing during sleep. This system can also provide a solution as a non-surgical facial enhancement procedure, arresting and/or preventing premature ageing of the face and jaws.

These concepts are also being used by dentists in helping patients with Obstructive Sleep Apnea. Preliminary studies suggest that the underlying causes of these conditions may be corrected by the use of the DNA appliance™ system. This correction is referred to as non-surgical airway remodelling or Pneumopedics™. Therefore, a new solution may lie within the grasp of the dental and medical professions for the elimination of these airway issues in the 21st century – without the use of CPAP machines.

We invite you to participate in these exciting new applications of craniofacial dentistry, and welcome you to a new paradigm in DNA appliance therapy.

One premise to stress is the deep-rooted relationship between structure and function. Good function means good form, and poor function relates to poor form.

www.medicaldentistry.ca Downtown and Alta Vista locations The basic formula for growth is: Growth = GS2 Where: G – Guidance Genes can only express the growth in your Genetic Blueprint, so can not overgrow the face or the jaw (e.g. the human genome normally won’t allow you to grow 2 heads).

S – Space Our bodies grow around functional spaces (e.g. the sinuses develop around the oral cavity).

S – Signalling The primate embryo’s first reflex is the swallow at 30-34 months of age. That swallowing is the light – the “morsecode tapping” that signals the growth of the upper jaw and the face. We lose our swallow reflexes when we bottle feed our babies (as opposed to breast feeding), so they learnt to swallow the wrong way.

In Epigenetics or Environmental Genetics, there are many documented Environmental factors that influence “gene expression”: 1. Nutrients – shortage of nutrients, like folic acid, can cause a cleft palate. All the key nutrients are necessary for fetal growth – e.g. vitamins, minerals, proteins, essential fats or oils, glyconutrients. The quality of air and water is also important.

2. Organisms and Inflammation – these can influence gene expression, especially bacterial and viral infections, fungal infections, of ____?

3. Drugs – like thalidomide illustrate how foreign chemicals can harm our gene expressions even some vaccinations may be harmful.

4. Trauma is also a major factor and that can be micro trauma (Like a faulty swallow) or macro trauma (like a car accident) 5. Allergies can also influence gene expression. The simple guide is “Diet, Dust and Dander” 6. Exercise is important for gene expression because it circulates one of our key nutrients, “Oxygen” and it stimulates the growth of one of the most plastic tissues in our bodies “ Bone”!!

7. Space is essential for growth, space and slight tension encourages growth.

8. Compression, we know that head binding or tissue compression will distract the head form. Compression can be intermittent or it can be constant.

SRI CHINMOY ANSWERS Question: How can we have a peaceful world?

SRI CHINMOY: We can create a peaceful world by enlarging our heart. The love that we felt in the very beginning for our mother and father we have to feel for the entire humanity. Until we can claim the whole world as our own, very own, with our love-power, we will have no peace. We will only think, “I am better than you are. I am superior, you are inferior.”

It is love that unites us, and that love is inside the heart. When we do not have the feeling of love, we will look at somebody else or at another country and immediately we will draw comparisons: I am stronger than you are, or I am weaker than you are. But if we use the heart, even if the person who is standing World-Renowned Soul Healer, Soul Leader, Divine Channel in front of us is stronger, more beautiful or more cultured than we

are, we will claim him as our own.

If we can expand our hearts to include countless human beings, then we will get peace. Only in the expansion of love do we find peace. We must not say only “I and mine”, but we must love others the way we love ourselves. The moment we use the mind, we do not expand. We will try to find our peace in being ahead of somebody else. Then, to our dismay, we will find that that person is already hundreds of miles ahead of us!

If we use our heart, we will not mind if somebody is ahead of us in any sphere. We will say, “That person is an extension of me. It is the same thing as putting my right foot ahead of my left foot. They belong to me; we have to go together. Otherwise, with one leg how will I be able to walk?”

When we can establish our oneness with the entire world, we can have peace. And it is from our prayers and meditations that we develop oneness. Unless and until we have peace deep within us, we can never hope to have peace in the outer world. You and I create the world by the vibrations we offer to it. If we can invoke peace and then offer it to somebody else, we will see how peace expands from one to two persons, and gradually to the world at large. Universal peace will dawn from the perfection of individuals.

The outer war is the war man fights against man, that nation fights against nation. These outer wars will come to an end only if the inner war stops first. We fight because deep inside us there is disharmony, fear, anxiety and worry. When we have peace, joy, plentitude and fulfillment, we shall not wage war.

What To Do When Trust Is Broken

CREATE CLOSER LOVING RELATIONSHIPS

Part TWO

Marlene & Bob Neufeld

By Marlene and Bob Neufeld

I

n the December 2012 issue of TONE magazine we talked about the importance of telling the truth and allowing and encouraging feelings to begin to restore trust. In this article we continue our exploration.

3. LISTEN TO THE RESPONSES AND FEELINGS FROM YOUR PARTNER: You may need to listen over and over, hearing them out. Allow others to have their feelings and to express them. Don’t try to control your partner’s feelings. If you have broken trust, he or she may be angry with you. Allow them to express their anger. Acknowledge the pain and hurt you may have caused. Learn to stay emotionally present to your partner’s pain. Beating yourself up for what you did is a detour and doesn’t help the partner feel heard. Neither does justifying nor minimizing.

You may think that your partner will be less upset if you point out that it could be worse, but that usually doesn’t help.

If you are communicating your feelings to your partner about something he or she has done, they may also have feelings. Listen without taking their feelings personally. Learn to validate without necessarily agreeing; especially learn to validate that your partner and his or her feelings are important and worthy of being heard.

4. TAKE FULL HEALTHY RESPONSIBILITY: This includes exploring how the person who broke trust justified it to themselves. It also includes what was going on before the offense. It doesn’t usually include apologies or demanding an apology. Responsibility is ultimately not about “who did what” or “why he or she did it” but about “What can I learn from this?”

Don’t get caught in “why?” The part of the brain that deals with causation is about the size of a quarter.

When a person responds to “why” you only hear

www.marleneandbob.com

how they justified it to themselves, which doesn’t help either of you make sense of what happened.

You may never “understand” fully. However, as the person who broke trust takes ownership of the pain they caused, they are able to acknowledge that their partner’s pain has an effect on them and express genuine regret and remorse. Genuine regret and remorse is heart-centered, and can be felt.

Focus on your ability to respond creatively, rather than blame. The person who broke trust has to BUILD A TRACK RECORD to demonstrate trustfulness.

Make new agreements and talk about how you can and will demonstrate that you are keeping them.

You need to become predictable again. For more about how to make clear agreements, see our article “How to make and keep agreements” on our website http://www.marleneandbob.com/articles.htm.

5. REINVENT YOUR RELATIONSHIP: Create a new togetherness, a safe haven, and a secure healthy adult attachment. There is no return to the way it used to be. You have the opportunity to create a new story; you will be the couple who lived through broken trust. Look at the patterns, beliefs, and feelings that led the person who broke trust to tell him or herself that it was OK to do it. Create the relationship that you both want as allies. Identify and heal the source of breaking trust so it doesn’t repeat. Know your learning edges and re-commit to learning.

6. The last step is Forgiveness. We will explore forgiveness further in the next issue.

Cancer and Energy Healing

Heal the energ� and the body will follow

by Laurie Fraser

Female, 70, breast cancer: First session: to prepare for a double mastectomy scheduled the following day.

1- B.O.S. anxiety procedure. (This is very calming.)

2- Facade healing.

I see the facade as a grey body cast- in this case the body was surrounded by fear. I said a prayer and Jesus arrived. I cracked the facade open by moving my hands over the client’s body. Then I stepped aside while Jesus attended to her.

In this case Jesus came for the facade healing but many different Divine Teachers have arrived over the years. It seems to depend on the clients’ beliefs and connections.

Divine teachers or family members who have crossed over sometimes arrive at healings with messages for clients. I am clairvoyant but not clairaudient, so the messages are often symbols, and then I muscle-test (using kinesiology to play 20 questions) to learn the details.

I have never seen a client receive as many messages as this client did before surgery. Jesus showed me these images: • a white pail filled with water. In the water was a large silver fish. (confirmed meaning: eat fish tonight, no meat) • blue water, like an ocean. (drink water) • a yellow birthday cake with a pink candle. I had trouble getting the meaning here, and I asked the client what the image meant to her. She said, “Well, it’s my birthday today.” Wow! Jesus wished her a happy birthday! Now that’s impressive bedside manner.

(At a restaurant that night she ate fish and received the standard free piece of cake on her special day. It turned out to be carrot cake with a pink candle!)

• a beautiful white angel. (message: she is with you now and thru surgery. Her area of expertise is surgery, and she helps people with that. She’ll be around for a short time after surgery as well.)

Second session, one week after surgery: 1 Reconnective Healing. This is a high frequency of energy that comes through me into the client’s energy where it re-organizes and soothes. In this case, the energy was adjusting to the loss of breasts. The client immediately felt “as if something was set right”.

2 anxiety procedure 3 pain procedure using energetic morphine (no side effects!) Repeated many times going to deeper levels.

Deepest was 479 million levels which is a tremendous amount of pain. (She reported less pain as she left that day.)

Laurie Fraser 721-3781

Certified B.O.S. practitioner Holographic healing Facade healing Comprehensive healing

Message from her energy- image of a green sailboat.

Green is a healing colour and the message was “Clear sailing now.”

Over the next couple of months, this lovely woman went through radiation as well. She was treated for the facades of “burned”, “poisoned” and “fatigue”.

B.O.S. sometimes led to causes (of her cancer) such as giving up a good job to have a child and being unable to express herself to a family member.

The client’s energy leads the way and chooses the most appropriate healing path. I make no decisions on my own; I’m always guided.

When healing I communicate with the clients’ energy by muscle testing (kinesiology). This gives me direction and sets priorities. I muscle test through lists of options: B.O.S. (Biocomputer Operating System), façade healing, holographic healing, Comprehensive Healing and various hands-on techniques.

A person can only take so many changes to their energy; I’m guided to stop when they’ve had enough.

Clients process the changes for several hours afterwards.

With deep thanks to my teachers, El Morya, and Archangel Michael.

A Cosmic Traveller Comes Down to Earth

I

was a highflying corporate executive when I began experiencing life changing visions. Then I met a French Canadian woman on a tour in Italy and found myself in Gatineau, Quebec. Over the next decade I would write more than 70 books as I explored the nature of reality discovered using some innate ability to project my consciousness into higher dimensions of spiritual realms and a deep yearning grew within me to share the wisdom I gained. But it wasn’t happening! Every time I tried to move out into the world the space around me closed and my own energy collapsed.

To put this in perspective I’d been a gifted creator all my life; a super-achiever in the corporate world able to manifest whatever was required but now I was blocked. Whenever I tried to enter the world I got spun out of myself and lost in a whirlwind of energies that decimated the innocence I was trying to express.

I knew I had to ground, but what did that really mean? I tried every grounding technique available but nothing changed. There was so much spiritual energy and so inclined was I to project my consciousness out into the information constructs of the universe that I simply couldn’t anchor this energy.

And then I met Master Kuam! He recognised my problem immediately, speaking of the importance of anchoring myself in the Dhan-Jon, or second chakra.

But what was different was that he also showed me how to do it; not in words but through his physical presence.

He was so deeply anchored in his energetic core that his soul reached out, joyously embracing mine, showing it how to truly incarnate; how to become a human belonging on this Earth rather than in the disembodied realms of spirit and information.

I could not manifest because I was not anchored in my biology; not just the body but my biology. I was disconnected from 4 billion years of accumulated wisdom about what was real. Deep inside I knew that all the brilliant theories of reality were just constructs; ways the mind devised to understand the mysteries of life. But without being anchored in the wisdom of Life itself they were ultimately empty; brilliant, exciting, intellectually stimulating, spiritual uplifting, but not “real”.

Within a few months I felt myself becoming more integrated as my personal energy began to build in the core of my being and the parts of myself I’d projected out into the universe returned home.

Of course, I was ready for this and my own efforts were absolutely crucial but there is also something special about the Chunhwa Training Centre and Master Kuam. He integrates yoga, tai chi, energy healing, and meditation in a way that allows it all to flow seamlessly

20

together. Walking into the centre is like being embraced by a loving family. It’s like a spiritual community without any of the baggage often associated with such groups. And Master Kuam is the real deal! I’m not easily impressed by people but in the six months of been there I’ve never seen him lose his presence of joy and love. Indeed he’s shown me a love inside myself that is deeper and more expansive than anything I could find in the spiritual realms. And he brings it right here into our daily lives.

I’ve seen people go through wonderful physical openings as a result of the exercises and energy work.

But if you’re like me and are highly connected to spiritual realms and need to come down into your core of creative power then do yourselves a favour and check out the Chunhwa Training Centre (www.chunhwayoga.ca).

I’m back “down-under” now working with renewed focus on establishing a centre for conscious creation which will include a new paradigm publishing company designed to bring my work to the world in a way that is supportive of the energy it carries. Then I’ll open that vehicle up to others. The blockages are gone, the space has opened before me, but it wouldn’t have happened if I’d never met Master Kuam.

Qi Gong for the relief of Chronic Pain and unbalanced emotion

F

ibromyalgia is reaching epidemic proportions as patients inundate medical offices with reports of chronic, often disabling pain in the jaw, neck shoulders elbows, wrists, the sacrum region, knees and hips . They report also memory loss and these symptoms may often lead to a sense of hopelessness and depression.

Deborra Cameron, a former nurse and certified reflexologist of 20 years, studied directly under Master Mantak Chia of Thailand, and has been a certified teacher of Qi Gong since 2000. Deborra practices out of Integral Health Clinic, 355 Waverley Street, Ottawa.

Deborra combines her intuitive reflexology sessions along with her Qi Gong knowledge.

Deborra shares the teachings of the ancient Chinese who believe that unbalanced emotions are stored in the vital organs of the body.

Where Qi Gong was practically unknown 5 years ago in North America, it is now gaining popularity for relief of chronic pain, high blood pressure, arthritis, fibromyalgia, ADD, ADHD, cancer patients and the list goes on.

Deborra has worked extensively within her reflexology practice with clients with the above conditions and has found that these people also benefit greatly from the practice of Qi Gong, and find that with regular practice that their symptoms decrease dramatically. We address the emotional issues that may contribute to the pain of the client, This is achieve through the practice of the six healing sounds, which transforms negative emotions to positive virtues within the vital organs and experience a series of meditative movements and exercises that assist with the movement of Chi or (energy), and thus increase vitality and energy!

Deborra has been a Healing Tao instructor for 12 years and has taught extensively in the US, Barrie and Ottawa Ontario.

Electro-Magnetic Fields and The Human Body

N

ever in our history have out bodies been under attack from external forces. Mankind has submerged itself in a ocean of artificial frequencies. They are all around us 24/7 filling the air and drowning out the earths natural resonance EMF’s are also emitted by all the wirless technology from smart meters and cell phones that we have welcomed into our work places homes and autos.

Now a growing number of doctors and scientists believe that all of this technology is bathing us in an invisible toxic EMF soup that is dangerous to our health.

Many of us in North America are not informed about the dangers of EMF (Electropollution) so we unwittingly expose ourselves to strong EMF sources everyday.

Smart Meters, electrical power lines, towers, computers and laptops, power bars, cordless phones, and Wi-Fi (wireless) routers are all major sources of daily EMF exposure. With continued exposure without protection (EMF Balancers) to high frequency EMF’s, symptoms get progressively worse. It is important to minimize one’s exposure to energy efficient compact fluorescent lighting and to other appliances that generate high frequencies.

New to the medical vocabulary is the condition of Electrical Hypersensitivity (EHS) an allergic-like reaction to electric and magnetic fields. ESH is a growing worldwide health concern and characterized by a variety of non- specific symptoms including skin rash, sleep disorders, muscle and joint pain (fibromyalgia), depression, headaches, difficulty concentrating and muscle spasms.

The number of EHS victims continues to rise with the North American Medical community and government bodies turning a blind eye to the problem, insisting that there “is not enough evidence”.

A gigantic cover-up is in place. Why are they doing this? For the same reason that the tobacco industry maintained a cover-up for so long, because there is going to be hell to pay when the public clues into what electrical pollution is doing to them.

Toxic electricity is a chronic, severe stress affecting everyone and only increase as the EMF pollution proliferates. It is difficult for us to determine just what it might be doing to us, because for the most of us it is always there. Individuals, who have cleaned up their immediate environments, however are now reporting dramatic improvement in a wide range of conditions and symptoms, usually of conditions that they thought of as not related to electrical pollution. If you want to know what it is doing to you, you need to bring the level of the pollution down enough so that our bodies have a change to heal.

Time to make a stand, don’t wait until our governments decide that it is a national threat to our nation. Install our EMF Balancers in your home, work and in your car.

The Art Of Ear Candling

HISTORY OF EAR CANDLING If done by the correct person! This method dates back to early East Indian, Chinese, Egyptian and American Indian cultures. Ear candling is a healing art for pulling the ear wax and debris out of the ear canal.ear candling does no harm!!!!

HOW IS IT DONE? The candle is a hallow cone made of 100% pure bee’s wax and unbleached cotton. The tapered end is placed in the ear at a 45 degree angle; pointing towards the shoulder.

The end of the candle is lit to create smoke. The smoke swirls in the candle creating a vortex or gentle vacuum.

The smoke goes into the ear canal gently drawing the wax the wax upwards and depositing into the empty candle. Thousands enjoy the positive effects from ear candling. One person has said;”I don’t know exactly how it works, but it sure works for me!”

BENEFITS OF EAR CANDLING: • Removal of ear wax build-up and debris in ear canal • Relief of pressure in cases of sinusitis, headaches, migraines or congestion • Airplane pressure pain • Unblocking impacted cerumen (ear wax) • Reports of subtle changes in energy flow • If you are spiritual known to open the third eye • Children’s ear problems otitis media, ear aches etc.

• Less cleaning and servicing of hearing aids • Clients report improvements in hearing • Improved breathing and may reduce snoring • Relief from” swimmers ear” • Improved balance and less dizziness and nausea • Relief from allergy symptoms

WHO CAN BENEFIT FROM EAR CANDLING The benefits of ear candling have been enjoyed by people of all ages, from children to seniors. It is gentle (only smoke goes into the ear) and relaxing. It takes about one hour for a treatment; depending on how many candles is used in a treatment.

So if you want to achieve balance and optimal ear health.

Burn Out, Take Refuge Ian Prattis

O

ver the years I have observed activist friends in the peace and environmental movements becoming overwhelmed and suffering deeply from stress and burn out. Despite my best efforts, they have not always been open to mindfulness practice. Activism without mindfulness practice will lead to burn out and disillusion of one form or another. At the other end of the continuum, spirituality without an engaged expression is equally unbalanced.

I encourage all of us embarking on this 21st century adventure in Peace to root ourselves deeply in mindfulness practice on a daily basis. Touch the stillness of non-action first of all so that our ensuing actions come from a place of effortless abundance. This is how we can take care of stress and burnout. Guidance is essential. It is there in abundance from Thich Nhat Hanh, as he specifies very clearly how to reach out for help. He encourages us in times of adversity, despair and burnout to take refuge in the sangha – the community of spiritual practice. Elder brothers and sisters in the community who are steady, patient and wise can help us step out of despair and anger by practicing meditation with us, returning us to mindfulness in order to take care of our distress. Then there is taking refuge in the dharma – through practices like Deep Relaxation, Touching the Earth, of heeding the Mindfulness Trainings to protect us from making harmful decisions. There is also taking refuge in the Buddha whose awakened mind is in the sutras that guide us step by step from despair to happiness. Each Refuge encourages us to foster positive and wholesome mental formations rather than fostering further despair and angst. Instead of running away from our fear and distress by hiding it under addictive behaviors, we learn from Taking Refuge just how to embrace and transform our fear and distress – first of all by clearly recognizing it.

We have to become good gardeners of the mind to do this. It takes skill, mindfulness and retraining to become a good organic gardener, so that the garbage in us is turned into rich compost rather than rejected or repressed. It also takes much understanding based on a non-dualistic view – accepting and recognizing just what is there in the mind. So if our mind is dark with sorrow or anger we recognize that this is just so.

With awareness we know how to practice walking meditation to take care of the mind-state recognized.

Without the darkness and sorrow we would have no idea about the light dance of happiness. Instead

Engaged Buddhism in the tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh Nucleus of Friends for Peace Canada Teachings every Thursday 7.00pm - 9.00pm Pine Gate Meditation Hall 1252 Rideout Cr, Ottawa, ON K2C 2X7 Contacts: iprattis@bell.net chill.carolyn@gmail.com • 613 726 0881 www.ianprattis.com/pinegate.htm of being overwhelmed by darkness, which can so easily happen, we use our skills of practice to recognize our mental states, nurture and transform them to a state where there is no danger of being overwhelmed.

This nondualistic way of looking at our mind states makes good sense, particularly as the alternative of suppression, of not practice, of not mindfulness, keeps us caught in the burnout, deeply mired in suffering with the conviction that there is no way out of this misery. This “not” alternative rapidly leads to depression, mental illness and damage to others as well as to ourselves. The mindfulness alternative of developing the necessary skills is a very wise and therapeutic option.

You may see for yourself the value of taking refuge in sangha eyes to guide your perceptions; of taking refuge in the practices, trainings and sutras for guidance in order to apply the energy of mindfulness to the energy of burnout. With the assistance available through taking refuge in the Three Gems – Buddha, Dharma and Sangha – the practice comes alive as a highly strategic set of tools and skills to produce transformation of the suffering caused by difficult and painful circumstances that lead to burnout. Activism is full of crises, curve balls and disasters. But even so we do not have to be overwhelmed and crushed by them. Mindfulness practice helps us. Understanding and compassion hone our skills so that we become excellent gardeners of the mind.

Ian is the Zen teacher at Pine Gate Sangha in Ottawa since 1997, he has given talks and retreats all over the world.

He now stays local with Friends for Peace Canada www.friendsforpeace.ca to help turn the tide just a little in his home city so that good things begin to happen spontaneously.

What Are You & Your Body Choosing? ACCESS CONSCIOUSNESS

H

ave you ever thought of your body as being infinite? It can be a stretch! It’s not the way most of us usually think about our bodies—but how happy or unhappy are most people with their bodies?

Gary Douglas, founder of Access Consciousness talks about The Ten Keys to Consciousness.

The first Key is, “Would an infinite being truly choose this? And if they wouldn’t, why are you?”

In truth, says Douglas, you created your body and you are an infinite being, so your body should be as infinite as you are. If you’re having trouble with that concept, try this exercise: Close your eyes and look for the outside edges of you.

Start at your skin, and keep going further and further beyond it, outside your body. If you contact something that seems like an edge of you, push on it and see if you can go further.

So! Are you an infinite being or a finite one? Are you in your body, or is your body inside you? Most people find that they are much too big to fit into something as small as their little bodies. You and your body are both infinite beings! You may not have been acting like it or acknowledging it, however.

Like all of the Ten Keys of Access Consciousness™, this can be applied to any body situation you would like to change. As in all situations in life we’d like to change, the answer is almost always that of course, an infinite being would not choose it.

The reasons for our doing so usually boil down to just a couple: to prove what victims we are so someone will rescue us, or to create yet another disaster in our lives.

Have you ever known someone who did this to themselves, using their bodies to do so? Have you ever known anyone who did not? Most people don’t like their bodies, don’t enjoy being in them, and many use problems with their bodies as one of the ways they can sabotage themselves and keep themselves in the victim role.

Not their best choice, but one that people often make!

How many people have you known that created a mysterious and even life-threatening illness just when they were so close to breaking through the tape of the finish line of some target they had been working on for years?

Sometimes people simply like their lives being disasters because for some reason they think it would not be interesting or exciting if it weren’t. If they didn’t have something painful or colorful or dramatic going wrong with their bodies, what would they talk about? If they didn’t have 10 pounds to lose what excuse would they have for buying yet another trashy women’s magazine with yet another miracle diet in it? Creating an undesirable condition in their bodies can be a way to focus the hate and judgment they have of their bodies, and their resistance to the greatness of being in one in the first place.

Are you ready to experience a unique type of bodywork ~ one that could dynamically facilitate changes within your being and body, with ease? Are you willing to experience changes within your body & being beyond your imagination?

Access Body Process Evenings

For Information Contact: Carol Sheehan, 613 249-8418 csheehan52@gmail.com www.AccessConsciousness.com

If you followed this key, wouldn’t you have to acknowledge that every single undesirable condition in your body was your creation? Would that extend the potency you have as an infinite being to a place you had never considered before? If your body is one of the things you’d like to change in your life, might applying this key allow you to change it, making it possible for you to have everything you’ve been asking for and longing for your whole life?

It may be painful to admit that even the things about your body that you don’t like are your creations. It is in your best interest, however. Acknowledging that what’s occurring in your life as your creation is the necessary first step to changing it. Would an infinite being judge their own creation? It’s a lot easier if you don’t judge your creation, but merely acknowledge your creation and all your points of view about it as merely interesting points of view.

Then changing it can be as easy as asking your body, “Body, what would it take for you to change this?”

Access has discovered over 50 energies that can facilitate a body to change and transform. Each of these transformational energies are run on the body as a bodyprocesses, and allow the body to begin healing itself. Each process works in a different area and multiple processes can contribute and expand the change that is possible.

Would you like to have a unique communion with your body, create more ease and less pain and to have the choice to look totally different.

What are you and your body choosing? What if embodiment was about the joy of it; the ease, joy and glory.

Moderating Alcohol IS Successful Recovery Trevour Strudwick CH, MNLP

P

eople who feel they need help when it comes to problem drinking seem to have a great diversity of choices for recovery. But do they really?

When it comes down to it, there are generally 3 options – 12 Step Groups, in-patient treatment or out-patient treatment. All of which tout the same old line ‘have one drink – and you fail’. But there are some very interesting facts regarding alcohol and recovery that people are not aware of.

A.A. is only effective in about 5% of cases – despite the fact that it boasts of being the most successful means of getting and staying sober. In-patient and out-patient treatments over all report that 33% remain abstinent 2 years after treatment, 33% see no difference or actually increase their alcohol consumption and another 33% learn to moderate their drinking.

As a hypnotist, I know how powerful repetition and suggestion are in forming subconscious beliefs and it seems that constantly asserting that one is an alcoholic and that they are powerless is not the best way to go about creating self-esteem, or personal empowerment! Not to mention the Sword of Damocles – ‘relapse is a part of recovery’ or ‘hitting rock bottom’ – suggestions that are sure to set you up for failure. And if you are unsuccessful in medically supervised treatment, then Lord only knows what they’ll put on your permanent record.

The fact is that people who have had alcohol as a part of their lives rarely want to stop drinking completely. The thought of never having another drink at a party or with dinner brings about tremendous feelings of grief, loss, anger, guilt, etc.? Why? Because they are in a relationship with alcohol!

Think about it – what if you were told you could never see your beloved again, or your most cherished family member? So it is with everyday people who find they drink too much – as distinct from clinically diagnosed alcoholics. It is something that gives them pleasure. Telling them they can never drink again is like a prison sentence of life-long gloom and misery.

What most people want is to learn to control their drinking which traditional methods of treatment usually say is just not possible. And true... there are 33% of people who may not be able to use alcohol moderately.

However, it is now recognized that the 33% who do learn moderation are successful. So moderation is a successful strategy for recovery.

Enter alternative practitioners! By now most people know that hypnosis is the number one method for Stopping Smoking, Losing Weight and Reducing Stress, and is now gaining recognition for helping people modify their alcohol consumption. Using a combination of Hypnosis, NLP, EFT and Life Coaching techniques people can rapidly reframe their relationship with alcohol and learn to drink within reasonable boundaries. No need to hit rock bottom. No need to feel like a failure for doing something that makes you happy. No need to confess all your sins to a group of doctors or strangers in a church basement or sterile clinic.

My experience is that the complete and utter relief that people feel by acknowledging their key coping strategy and giving them profound transformational tools to use to gain full control – not only over alcohol – but their lives in general, is one of the most liberating and rewarding experiences you could have. And what’s more exciting is that using these alternative methods, your chances of success sky-rocket from 33% to over 88%. Now wouldn’t YOU rather feel powerful instead of powerless?

My Yin Yoga Teacher Training Experience

by Elizabeth Eaton

I

’ve been practicing Yin Yoga for ten years. As a teacher of Yin Yoga, I entered into the Yin Teacher Training believing I already knew everything there is to know about the practice.

I’d read all the books, watched both of Paul Grilley’s DVDs, and had read Yin Yoga: A Quiet Practice two times over. Of course, this mindset is an unwitting and grand set-up for a very humbling experience, and that is exactly what I received from this training.

The terms functional objective and aesthetic cue entered the conversation very early on, as Joe guided us into our first practice. As Joe explained to our group about the dangers of sticking to rigid aesthetic alignment principles, I began to wonder. Not once, in the many classes I had taken, had an instructor encouraged or even suggested deviation from what certain postures “should” look like. In fact, I was routinely being told to sacrifice what felt like beneficial sensations in my body because the posture wasn’t being performed “correctly”.

Not to say that aesthetic cues, which guide you to a posture, are without merit. Rather, as Joe explained, they are merely a base from which you can explore individual movement in a posture to discover what feels good. Or what feels best.

Have you ever seen an instructor encourage slumping of the shoulders in cobra or sphinx pose? Although it may be surprising, it may feel really good for you or your student – and may be genuinely beneficial to their physical and energetic practice. And so, on the very first night, Joe began the work of breaking down our conceptual walls to build space for the idea of functional objective. Is your functional objective to stretch the hamstrings? Then why stick to an aesthetic cue that looks great, but does absolutely nothing for that muscle group?

The other aspect of the training that I found fascinating was the comprehensive daily discussion on

28

anatomy and bone structure, and something that Joe calls range of motion. This is an idea brought forward

by Paul Grilley, after studying the idiosyncrasies of human skeletons. Certain protrusions of the bones – for example, in the clavicle’s acromion process – can limit range of motion. He proposes that, at first, the limits in range of motion are probably due to tension in the muscle and ligaments. You’re all tight in the hips and groins, so it’s really no wonder that you can’t do Hanumanasana (splits posture).

In fact, you must be holding some emotional trauma that keeps you from going deeper in the pose. Or even better, you’re not trying hard enough.

Over the two weekends, we examined our classmates in a variety of Yin postures and performed “range of motion tests” to observe bone structure variation. This portion is what really threw me for a loop: I had been berating myself for years for not being flexible enough to come into Upavista Konasana (wide-angle forward fold), and thought it strange that I could bring my forehead to knees easily in Pachimottanasana (seated forward bend). One range of motion test we practiced helped me determine that my hip sockets may be quite shallow in the front, which allows the pelvis to move forward quite easily, as long as the legs are together. But my sockets become deeper toward the sides, and literally compress against my femur bones if I fold forward with the legs apart. What a revelation! I have since stopped feeling inadequate in upavista konasana and can rest, right where I am, right where I’m supposed to be.

I know now that the sky is the limit when considering the possibilities of Yin Yoga. With Joe’s help, over just two weekends, my depth of understanding of anatomy and Yin Yoga philosophy grew to new heights. And I hope this feeling of humility can last until I see him again next year!

PranaShanti Yoga Centre is hosting Joe Barnett’s 30-hour Yin Yoga teacher training during two weekends, January 25-27 and February 8-10, 2013. Space is limited! Early Bird Pricing available. Reserve your spot today.

Apologies And Conflict Resolution

A

recent New Yorker magazine cartoon shows a sheepish man, bouquet of flowers in hand, carefully inching his way towards an angry, haughty woman, presumably his spouse. “Don’t you dare apologize to me!” she snipes.

Apologies, it seems, are everywhere, particularly when it comes to resolving disputes. The woman who suffered serious burns after scalding herself with McDonald’s coffee offered to settle early on for $800.00 and an apology. (McDonald’s head lawyer turned down the offer and the woman went on to obtain a judgment for several million dollars.) Several years ago, Japan’s demand for a formal apology for mistreatment of its people during the Second World War made front page news. The former head of the HelpLine organization representing victims of abuse at St. Joseph’s Training School for Boys in Alfred, Ontario said he would have settled his case for one penny and an apology from then Premier Bob Rae. An apology is obviously a powerful tool for resolving disputes. Why, then, is it usually so difficult for us to apologize?

An initial reason may be the concern, in our litigious society, that an apology will be considered an admission of liability. A deeper reason may be the fear that making an apology will diminish us, that we will lose power in the negotiation discussions, that our opponent will be “one-up” on us.

The reality is that, when offered sincerely in response to and in acknowledgement of someone’s injury or pain, an apology can break the negotiation process wide open and lead to viable settlements. Where the parties have an ongoing personal or business relationship, an apology is also valuable in repairing the harm to the relationship caused by the dispute.

Certain guidelines should be followed if an apology is to be effective: • Don’t negotiate the apology. The most effective apologies are those offered without any expectation of a concession, or even another apology, in return.

• Don’t qualify the apology. A recent newspaper article related the story of a family counselor asking a father to apologize to his teenage son after wrongly accusing him of lying. The father said, “Mark, even though you have lied and stolen from us many times, and you know we have usually been very patient and fair with you, I was wrong this time.” It took considerably more work on the counselor’s part before the father offered a genuine apology, after which he and the son were able to start the real process of rebuilding their relationship.

• Offer the apology in addition to, not instead of, money. An apology can be a useful part of a settlement package, but it rarely constitutes the

entire settlement. It should not be offered in the hope that financial claims will then disappear. Rather, it should serve to open the door to meaningful discussions and appropriate financial settlements.

After the 1982 Japan Air Lines crash in Tokyo Bay, the airline president promptly visited the crash victims’ families, extending formal apologies and financial compensation. No lawsuits were filed. (Interestingly, in Japan it is considered shameful to file a lawsuit, and honourable to apologize for one’s wrongs. For us, it is the apology that is often accompanied by shame, and lawsuits that proliferate.)

• Offer the apology at the right time. Sometimes, as with the woman in the cartoon, we’re just not ready to accept an apology. A “premature” apology may be perceived as pre-emptive and dismissive and may, in fact, do more harm than good.

More on apologies next month…..

The benefits for Hypnotherapy for stopping smoking Ottawa, On Canada

I

t seems like everybody now is conscious of their health - we all know the things we should be doing to keep ourselves healthy but whether we do them or not is another thing entirely. One of the worst vices that many people still have is smoking. It doesn’t need to be stated at this point how detrimental smoking is to your health. It is common knowledge that smoking leads to all sorts of debilitating and deadly diseases. Stopping smoking can be incredibly hard for some people, they have grown dependent on it and reaching for a cigarette is a temptation that they just can’t resist.

Hypnotherapy is an incredibly effective way to quit smoking. Hypnosis is often portrayed on television as a form of mind control. This could not be further from the truth. In fact hypnosis puts a person into an extremely relaxed state where they are more receptive to suggestion. It gets past the guard of you conscious mind and speaks directly to your subconscious mind.

A lot of people wonder whether or not they can be hypnotized. If youʼre wondering whether or not you can be hypnotized then the short answer is yes! By accessing your subconscious brain you are putting yourself in

hypnosis. One of the best examples of this is when you are driving and your mind wonders to something other than the road in front of you, 10 minutes later you have arrived at your destination even though you canʼt consciously recall every part of the journey.

Now you may be wondering how hypnotherapy ties in to quitting smoking. One of the main benefits of hypnotherapy is itʼs ability to make your mind more malleable and open to suggestion. It is excellent for effecting change in your attitudes and beliefs that are associated with smoking and makes you ready and willing to eliminate the habit from your life.

Another way hypnotherapy helps with kicking your smoking habit is it gives you a great feeling of relaxation. How many times have you heard someone say “I need a cigarette to calm my nerves”. Stress is a great contributor to many peopleʼs dependence on smoking and by taking part in hypnotherapy you can greatly reduce your stress levels and thus your desire to smoke.

In conclusion hypnotherapy may not be for everyone but if you approach with a positive attitude then it is proven to be of great assistance with kicking your habit for good.

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

Dr. Luke Michael Howard, PhD

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

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

30

certified by the American Board of Hypnotherapy.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

“I walked out a nonsmoker!”

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

Winter and Chinese Medicine

By Steve Ryu, L.Ac.

T

he winter has arrived again. The ancient Chinese believed that human beings should live in harmony with the natural cycles of their environment. The cold and darkness of winter urges us to slow down.

This is the time of year to reflect on our health, replenish our energy and conserve our strength.

In TCM, Winter corresponds with our energetic “Kidneys”, the organs seen to hold the most basic essence of our being and our energy - our internal “battery” (sometimes equated to the adrenal glands in Western medicine). In TCM, it is believed that by harmonizing oneself with the seasons, you can avoid illness and promote great health. Therefore, during the Winter it is a good time to focus on strengthening the Kidneys.

Rest helps regenerate Kidney energy - that’s why hibernation (for some species) is a good idea! In addition to resting more, Winter is also a great time for inner reflection, especially after the mayhem and social activity of the holidays. We should take time to look deeply into ourselves to reflect on the past year, understand our present, and prepare for the coming year. Meditation, prayer, journaling, goal creating exercises, counselling, coaching, and other techniques that reveal our deeper desires to our conscious mind can be very helpful. These tools support Kidney energy and have the ability to calm our emotions, relax the mind, and raise our spirit.

Seasonal Changes Affect the Body’s Environment. With the wind, rain and snow comes the colds, flu and aches and pains – Here are a few tips to staying healthy this winter.

1. Foods: Eating warm hearty soups, whole grains, and roasted nuts help to warm the body’s core and to keep us nourished. Sleep early, rest well, stay warm, and expend a minimum quantity of energy.

2. Wash your hands: Studies have shown that one of the main reasons that we catch colds and flu in the winter season is that we are indoors and in closer vicinity to others in cold weather. Protect yourself by washing your hands regularly and try not to touch your face.

3. Sleep: The Nei Ching, an ancient Chinese classic, advised people to go to sleep early and rise late, after the sun’s rays have warmed the atmosphere a bit. This preserves your own Yang Qi for the task of warming in the face of cold.

4. No Stress: Find a release valve for your stress.

According to Chinese medicine, stress, frustration, and unresolved anger can play an important part in throwing the immune system off and allowing pathogens to affect the body. Find a way to relax and release stress on a daily basis. Such methods may include yoga, meditation, biofeedback, simple relaxation therapy, or whatever method you use to release the stress and pressures of modern life.

5. Acupuncture and Chinese herbs can help your body maintain balance in the Winter months. Acupuncture help nourish Kidney energy by selecting points along the Kidney meridian. For cases where the coldness seems to be at a deeper level in the body, herbal formulas can be prescribed so that it can help nourish the Kidney and stoke the body’s internal “fire”.

So, stay warm and stay nourished. I wish you all a Happy and Healthy New Year!

Parenting With Wisdom

O

ne of the joys of conscious living is the feeling of aliveness or vitality one experiences when some simple yet profound key practices are initiated.

Feeling feelings, breathing, opening to wonder, and allowing play rather than restricting or “shrinking to fit” all increase our sensations of aliveness and vitality what I refer to as “flow.”

Concept: This month you and your child can learn a simple breath technique that takes only a minute or two and allows you to shift from a stuck place or from big feelings into a place of ease and flow. When we become anxious, our breath gets quick and shallow and carbon dioxide builds up in our bodies. This breath practice allows you and your child to balance the level of carbon dioxide and oxygen in your bodies.

Objective: You will be able to increase calmness through a simple quick breath technique.

Activity: The Re-set Button Breathe all the way out and hold your breath out until you cannot hold it any longer. Then, allow your breath to come in naturally. Sit quietly for a few breaths.

Repeat this process in a friendly way until you feel relaxed.

If you feel tight or tense you can add tightening all your muscles (your fists, your shoulders, your neck, your jaw, all the places you feel tight) when you breathe out. Hold the tension until you breathe in.

When you allow your breath to rush in, let go of all your tension. Repeat this until you feel energized and relaxed.

Concept Summary: When breath has become short and shallow, the Re-set Button can be used to come back into balance - as a deeper breath in organically occurs when we exhale fully.

What can Numerology do for you?

Numerology is a study of numbers. There is evidence that numerology was in use thousands of years ago in China, Greece and Egypt even before the time of Pythagoras, who is generally accepted as the "father" of numerology. Why is numerology still in use and of interest to so many? It is because it works, that is why.

YOGA SHANTI PROCESS

T

he internal breath of the breath of yoga is allowed to be a tool of the self in all postures when we perform the posture in a way which is mindful, and we are acting in a way which allows us to know we are at peace.

This peace of this is an act of the subconscious act of being and allowed to be a tool of highest consciousness in the truth of our lives.

This is the act of being in the moment and is the moment we experience yoga and yoga is the art of being in the moment and this moment is an action of myself.

The action is an act of my being and I am the being of my life, so I am being life and I am action of awareness. I am the act of being aware and I am awakened to this in my first breath. This breath is a breath of life in life to me. I am the breath of my life.

This is the life I live. I am life, so I will live.

I am living so I am life. This is the life I am living. This is life. So I am life and I will live to breathe. I am breathing to live so it is truth.

This is my action. Truth is I am alive. I am breathing so I will act and I am the outcome of the action and I am this action now.

Today I am free to teach I am the breath of yoga and I am free to be the teacher of this. I am this so I will be this. I am actualized and I am the being who is interested in you. I am. So please do not consider acting without consciousness. Please act with conscious intent. Please do all things with right intention. Please do this for your sake only.

Please do not harm. Do not steal. Do not do uncomfortable things and do not speak harsh words. Do not gossip or criticize. Do not do this in yoga.

Thank you.

The Crystal Light Bed John of God - Mediumship Incorporated Entities

J

ohn of God is a full-trance medium located in Brazil, using the principles of Spiritism. Mediums are people who have developed the ability to communicate and work with the spirit world.

John of God, as a full trance medium, has the ability to fully incorporate a spirit Entity into his body to assist with healing others. He has been doing this for many years and after a trance, he has no recollection of the work performed through him, nor has knowledge of what spirit Entity performed the healing work. He serves as a channel for over 30 spirit Entities that are the spirits of deceased doctors, surgeons, masters and saints.

Crystal light bed therapy is one of the treatments used at the Brazilian healing center of John of God. This form of chromotherapy helps to balance your energy field on physical, emotional and spiritual level through coloured lights, of varying frequencies, being pulsed through quartz crystals into a person’s chakra centres.

Each quartz crystal has been cut to a specific frequency using a technique developed by the late Marcel Vogel.

The coloured lights radiate light and energy through the crystals and can stimulate the immune system and accelerate healing. The individual receiving the session simply rests face up on a bed with eyes closed, bathing in the energy. In addition to the healing power of the crystals and color therapy that the bed provides, the healing spirit Entities that work with John of God are able to use this device as a portal so that they may more easily make their presence felt to those who are seeking their help.

One of the principal Entities is St. Ignatius of Loyala for whom the Casa (or the healing center) is named. St. Ignatius was born in 1491 in Spain, founded the Jesuit Order and faced many hardships and persecutions during the Spanish Inquisition. When John of God incorporates the entity of Dom Inácio many miracles happen. He works calmly for many hours, a testimony of his unlimited compassion, kindness and patience.

“For those who believe, no proof is necessary. For those who disbelieve, no amount of proof is sufficient.” - St. Ignatius of Loyola Another frequent entity of the Casa is Dr. Augusto de Almeida, a surgeon and spiritual master with an authoritative manner and unconditional compassion and love for those before him. He is reported to have been in the military, a rubber tapper and a doctor in previous incarnations. He is known to be extremely kind and is deeply loved by all. “My phalange comprises not of ten, nor a hundred but thousands of Helping Spirits.

I am the one who reaches to the very depths of the abyss to save a soul.” - Dr. Augusto de Almeida.

52

Dr. Oswaldo Cruz, another entity, was a famous doctor in Brazil over a 100 years ago who helped to eradicate yellow fever. Dr.Cruz emanates loving kindness and is very active in performing spiritual surgeries. He is direct and forthright in his interactions while at the same time extremely kind, and compassionate. He has the most beautiful eyes, which seemingly pour out unconditional love to all in his view – a very powerful and moving experience. He will often request that wristwatches be removed as it disturbs his current.

Dr. José Valdivino - There is a photograph in the surgery room of the Casa of John of God where one can see this Entity so fully incorporated that John of God’s physical body is almost completely replaced by Dr. José Valdivino. Very little is known about this Entity who when asked replied simply that he was a protector of families. During his healings he is extremely gentle, compassionate and loving and possesses energy that is especially powerful for curing paraplegics. With a touch of his hand and a command for them to walk, or move the afflicted limb, many miraculous healings have been recorded.

There are 33 Entities who work through Medium John of God and through the portal of the Crystal Beds. Some of the Entities have chosen not to reveal their identity but are frequent visitors nonetheless.

I am a health practitioner here in Ottawa who has been given permission by John of God to make the Crystal Bed Therapy available for the people of this region. Call 613 789-1318

YIN YOGA - A quiet practice

I

t is my pleasure to introduce to you to a style of Yoga that has the most profound benefits for the mind, body and soul (heart).

I will do my best to explain this practice to you.

However to truly understand the depth of the benefits-the inner healing and wisdom that comes from a regular practice you need to experience this yourself.

Yin Yoga targets the connective tissues (ligaments, bones and joints of the body) not exercised to a great extent with the more vigorous forms of yoga or exercise.

This style of yoga is suitable for most levels of students and is a perfect complement to any dynamic style of yoga or fitness routine. Anything with dynamic force will put emphasis on internal heat, lengthening and contracting our muscles.

The principal of Yin Yoga is to stretch the connective tissue so that the body will respond by making the tissue a little longer and stronger. This is done by holding the poses for longer periods e.g. a minimum of 3 minutes-the average being 5 minutes in most classes. The postures are held with relaxed muscles otherwise the connective tissue will not get worked but the muscles will.

Connective tissue is most concentrated at the joints.

If you don’t use your full range of joint flexibility the tissue shortens restricting a lot of activities.

The connective tissue is thought to correspond to the meridians of acupuncture. When the flow of vital energy (chi, prana) is blocked our body eventually manifests in physical problems. If yoga postures help us go deep into the body to release blocks or gently stimulate the flow of chi, then Yin Yoga serves well to help you get the greatest possible benefit from yoga practice.

Co-Creating a Spiritual Community

W

e live in rapidly changing times. Spirituality, the arts and science are now finding common ground, which acknowledges that we are a part of the power of the infinite whole. We often forget this as human beings living our lives and believing we live independently. When we awaken spiritually, we begin to recognize that the universe reflects back to us who we really are, what our purpose is and where we fit interdependently within the whole.

Each of us has our individual spiritual unfoldment as unique as all of the possibilities inherent in the vibrant expression of the lotus flower, the stars in our galaxy, or the snowflake. Think of the concept of the “butterfly effect” in which it is said that the movement of a butterfly’s wings might create tiny changes, which in turn cause a whole chain of events. Or think of Dr. Emoto’s work with water, which illustrates that our mental positive energy directed at water can influence a positive change resulting in the formation of beautiful water crystals. So too, are we connected with one another through body, mind, heart and spirit.

Health is at your

doorstep!

Come enjoy the first ever Westboro Community Health and Wellness Day! Come meet the providers of health and wellness in Westboro. It’s FREE!

Building a spiritual center offers a unique experience to co-create with God. It is one that can draw us together from our separate spiritual pathways into a whole; making a spiritual home a sacred place where we can connect. Through spiritual service we come to know the Source, the One, the presence of God, personally. The awakening and evolution of the spirit within us, individually and communally, is probably the most fulfilling spiritual experience we can share.

A thriving spiritual community is also dedicated to learning and loving – one in which we engage our commitment, creativity and authenticity. We do not compare ourselves to others as we forge our path of personal and spiritual development. We recognize that we’re all in this together, sometimes leading, sometimes following, sometimes supporting, sometimes being supported, in a beautiful cosmic dance which is continually expanding. Spiritual service in this context leads to an indescribable joy, as we witness each other’s growth and learning in consciousness.

We have already come to understand that we are eternal beings, and we sense, too, that the Infinite Whole is eternal. Joining together for a common purpose such as the building of a spiritual sacred space, makes the eternity of our souls more real for us, because the spiritual community that is created becomes an entity that develops a unique identity of its own. It is a wondrous privilege to watch this happen, to watch the simultaneous growth in consciousness of both the individual and the group.

When people gather together with intentional spiritual inclusiveness, embracing diversity while creating and building a spiritual community of consciousness, great things can happen! As the Dalai Lama said: Spiritual Diversity Creates Harmony.

The Ottawa Spiritual Pathways Centre opens on January 6th, 2013 @ 10:30 a.m. at the Westboro Masonic Hall, 430 Churchill Avenue N., Ottawa. Please join us as we celebrate our birth. We offer a sacred space for weekly services with spiritual talks, healing, meditation, spirit connection and more. For more information, contact us: www.ottawaspiritualpathways.com

THE ABCD‘S OF “MEDICALDENTISTRY.CA”

A

IS FOR THE AIRWAYS and how good dental bites make a BETTER airways AND MUCH LESS SNORING. Our new role in dental diagnosis is to be sure we do no harm to our patients airway function by putting the jaw in a more posterior position. This is the biggest change in dentistry in 40 years!! Remember our lives are framed between our first breath and our last breath and the more forward and wider your jaws are the better the quality of your breathing system. A BAD BITE CAN SABOTAGE YOUR AIRWAY AND HEALTHY JAW JOINT FUNCTION!!!

Your child’s upper arch or palate should be encouraged to grow (BOTH naturally or orthodontically) to be as broad and as wide as soon a possible. Remember the roof of your mouth is also the base of the nose and this encourages better nose and airway function. My wife Miranda Dayvis is a rolfer and we have found combining Orthodontics or jaw growth and realignment with whole body STRUCTURAL REALIGNMENT BY ROLFING gives our patients the best of both worlds -­the best airway and the best freedom from back and neck pain as well as headache relief.

A is also for allergies that can cause growth to diminish or distort in the jaws or facial area. The big 3 factors in allergies are diet, dust and dander! Dietary allergies are well covered by Dr. Michel Lyons and Dr. Christine Laurel and we will give you a summary of their dietary do’s and don’ts . Just call the office. 613 234 5758. Dust is about environmental allergies and dander is about pet dander causing allergic responses in children and adults.

B is for BAD BACTERIAL BIOFILMS!! These cause Bleeding Gums and that really means Mouth Bacteria are migrating into your Bloodstream. This is not good!

It is also the cause of most Bad Breath issues. Google lasergumcentre.com to read about a new laser solution to stop and reverse gum disease. This new treatment means that for the first time in the history of dentist issues your bloodstream will thank you from the bottom of its heart!

C IS FOR CONTROLLING CARIES OR TOOTH DECAY WITH A NEW PROTOCOL CALLED ‘CAMBRA’ WHICH STANDS FOR ‘CARIES MANAGEMENT BY RISK ASSESSMENT’ AND YOU CAN SEE IT IF YOU GOOGLE ‘CARIFREE’. Cavities basically sod-­rot your teeth or as the scientists say “caries is the progressive deminerlization and proteolytic degradation of organic matrices.”The new fact is this “we can stop tooth decay for 5 years at a time ” if we use cambra concepts alkaline food concepts and good basic brushing and flossing.

C IS ALSO FOR “CATCHING CANCER QUICKLY “IN THE EARLY STAGES. The most disfiguring and difficult cancers are often those in the facial, and throat

We now have the Velscope system to scan the mouth using special fluorescing lights that pick up cancers very early. Why have oral cancers become more prevalent in younger patients?? One theory is because of the proliferation of the human papilloma virus with increased oral sex.

D IS FOR DIET IMPROVEMENT BY READING THE BOOK ‘GREEN FOR LIFE’ BY VICTORIA BOUTENKO. The two physicians who write their comments in her book are smart physicians. Make your diet more alkaline and less acidic. Make one meal a day a super green smoothie made of a mixture of blended fruits and greens.

SO DENTISTS IN THE LAST 40 YEARS HAVE EVOLVED TO BECOME ‘DENTAL PHYSICIANS’ AND THIS EVOLUTION INTO A MEDICAL MODEL OF PATIENT CARE IS HELPING ALL OUR PATIENTS ENJOY BETTER HEALTH ESPECIALLY BETTER AIRWAYS, LESS HEADACHES , LESS NECK ACHES , LESS CAVITIES, LESS GUM DISEASE AND HEALTHIER HEARTS!!!

The Illusion of Attraction Part ONE

By Kim Barnwell

I

’ve lost count of the number of times I’ve heard people ask, “Why didn’t it work? I did everything I was suppose to; I made myself think positively, envisioned the outcome I wanted, put it on my vision board, held the right emotions… I did everything the Law of Attraction told me to do. Why didn’t it work?” Next they start trying to figure out what they did wrong. Was it because they said “I need…” instead of “I want…” – yes that must be it! Really??

I’ve had a love/hate relationship with the Law of Attraction ever since it was popularized by Rhonda Byrne’s movie “The Secret” in 2006. While many of the ideas shared fit my own of how we can more consciously create our lives, there was always something in how it was being portrayed in the movie that didn’t completely resonate with me. Recently it hit me, what if the missing puzzle piece is that there isn’t anything actually missing – maybe it’s the idea of the “Law of Attraction” that’s flawed. Yes, our thoughts, feelings and beliefs contribute greatly to our outcomes – but the idea that we are solely responsible for creating our realities is not a Law, but an Illusion!

Perhaps you’ve heard of the master illusionist David Copperfield? His genius is to create illusions, visual manifestations that appear real. A few years ago I got to attend two of his performances in the same evening.

The show includes his famous “Portal Illusion”, which can be viewed online on You Tube, where he appears to teleport himself and a woman from the audience to a beach in Hawaii. Together they suddenly disappear and within seconds a livestream video shows the two of them suddenly appearing on a beach in Hawaii. To make the illusion more believable, before leaving Ottawa they ‘randomly’ pick a number of audience members to help create a picture to bring with them on their journey.

In awe, the audience gasps in unison as the woman who now appears to be on a beach thousands of miles away, pulls the picture out from her pocket. Everyone is amazed and I hear a couple behind me asking each other – “Was that for real?” David leaves the woman on the beach and reappears in the Ottawa audience, just a few seats away from me.

60

“The Secret” has served as a catalyst for thousands of people, awakening them from the illusion of being mere victims of their circumstances, to considering the possibility that their thoughts, feelings and beliefs alone, are responsible for creating what happens to them.

They started taking control and as a result became more aware of how their thoughts and feelings were affecting what they are attracting. David Copperfield can make a car appear out of thin air or vanish before our eyes and reappear on a beach thousands of miles away – or so it seems. Many of the people whose lives were significantly changed by following the ideas presented in “The Secret” started believing that through the proper use of the Law of Attraction they could create anything they wanted. All they needed to do is to think the right thoughts and feel the right feelings and ‘poof’ it would appear. We know that what David Copperfield does in his show is an illusion – not real. What if the Law of Attraction is like that; sometimes it can appear that only our thoughts and feeling are creating our realities, but in reality there is much more involved!

Back to David Copperfield’s show - take two. For the second time I’m witnessing his amazing Portal Illusion, but wait… the woman he’s taking with him is the same woman from the first show, the one he left on the beach in Hawaii. Not only that, somehow the exact same members of the audience are ‘randomly’ picked to create the picture they bring with them – which was pretty amazing in itself when you see how these people were chosen! And the picture ends up looking the same

January 2013

too. Now we’re starting to see some of what goes on behind the scenes contributing to the illusion and it looks like there are a lot of people in on the secret!

Now, my intention isn’t to ‘out’ David Copperfield.

During the show he himself assures us that he isn’t trying to convince us that what he is doing is real; he is creating illusions. My intention is to invite you to question the probability that any of us could be even remotely capable of creating our reality on our own.

David Copperfield, a master illusionist, requires a huge team, very specific conditions and supports to create the magic he presents in each show. He could never pull off such magic all on his own. Likewise, none of us are capable of manifesting anything on our own and no one thought or emotion is going to make or break our ability to achieve a goal. There is always so much more going on under the surface and in our environment that is contributing to and influencing the possibility of every success or failure we experience. The idea that we could control every outcome with our thoughts, beliefs and feelings is an illusion – believing that is all it takes would be a delusion.

Think of a goal you recently achieved or a time when something happening that you didn’t want to have happen – like catching a cold. Try to bring into your awareness every contributing factor that lead to that outcome. Every thought, feeling, belief, choice, action, the people involved and the added influence of their thoughts, feelings, beliefs, choices and actions; items that were used and how they come to exist, the various synchronicities and coincidences and choices people made that contributed to such happenstance; the weather, the elements, cells, bacteria, planetary positioning … just try to acknowledge every single contributing factor and to figure out what exactly lead to the outcome.

Even Jesus acknowledged; “I can of my own self do nothing.” John 5:30 We are not creating our own reality, nor are we merely pawns of some greater force. We are participants of a co-creative process, on this planet that we are part of, constantly supported and influenced by higher intelligences, each other, the elements, every aspect of nature and celestial influences.

Ask a Naturopathic Doctor Katherine Willow N.D.

Weight, one of the hallmarks of modern life, entices us to obsess about our body at the expense of our inner life.

One of the biggest realizations I’ve had about weight came when I arrived at my ideal, proud as punch after decades of fighting with food. It didn’t take long to see that being slim did not make me a better person. I noticed with increasing clarity that people around me who happened to carry extra weight, whether a little or a lot, were often more open-hearted and kinder than I was.

And if they actually had made peace with their body in this culture which judges weight harder than many more important qualities, their energy and sexuality radiated in juicy waves. I began to regret that I hadn’t appreciated my extra flesh when I had the chance. The final blow came when an old high school friend whom I hadn’t seen for thirty years expressed dismay that I was so thin!

The conclusion isn’t a new one: work from the inside out. Realize that weight is a symptom of something else and is actually trying to help us. It grounds us, carries excess toxins away from important organs, keeps us warm, buffers us from trauma and helps us feel safe until we make peace with our sexuality. I vividly remember a cancer patient with 100 extra pounds sailing through chemo and outliving her group by years—partly because her weight gave her added protection.

Of course I know the other side of weight, the strain on the heart, insulin resistance, low energy, higher rates of cancer, just plain discomfort. However, there are new studies that show one can be heavy and healthy. With a healing heart and balanced lifestyle, including good diet, movement, sleep and regular cleansing, the risk factors of excess weight can diminish to normal.

So maybe it makes sense to start a weight loss program with some de-programming about one’s body and selfworth. Mirror work, mindfulness meditation with its emphasis on self-acceptance and compassion, EFT, counselling and just thinking it through for ourselves!

Once we stop beating ourselves up for every extra bite, efforts to lose weight are more likely to be successful. And when for some reason the pounds don’t come off, we can still go on with our lives, relationships, careers, hobbies and spiritual paths with great satisfaction.

It is necessary to find the cause of extra weight to create a successful plan: some common ones include emotional eating, low thyroid, low adrenals (when we are exhausted we can’t burn fat), food sensitivities, bowel flora imbalances, lack of digestive enzymes, liver sluggishness, wrong diet/exercise for one’s body type and many more.

There are certain things we can do that are fundamental no matter what the cause: find a way to move regularly that we enjoy (yoga has the best track record for balancing weight); wean off processed foods with their addictive chemicals (MSG, aspartame); cut out or reduce wheat, then dairy, then sugar, then caffeine; drink enough water between meals; stop eating after an early dinner each night; do regular cleanses and above all, get more sleep in the hours before midnight.

Sleep has been shown to have more impact on weight than food. And if the issue is emotional eating, treat yourself to a therapist, OA (Overeaters Anonymous— how I cracked my own eating disorder), body-centred psychotherapy or a course on Mindfulness Based Stress Reduction.

In the meantime, give yourself permission to live fully, wear lovely clothes, stand tall and shine from the inside out...

NEW LIFE AFTER 50 The third stage of life:

Transitioning from Adulthood to Elderhood Confronting Aging

Life in Transition Coach Thérèse Kelders

A

s we transition from adulthood to elderhood, we come face to face with aging and confronting what it means to us to be old. Everyone to whom I spoke, even those who are comfortable with aging, have a problem with being old. How come? What if it was determined that we were old at 50 rather than 85 or whatever other number we believe it to be? We used to be considered old at 50 because the average life span for those born in 1900 was 51.1 and 51.4 for men and women respectively.

Growing old is a new phenomenon in the western world where our life span has almost doubled in the last 50 years with a much greater percentage of us likely to live to be 100 and older. In our culture, however, we do not see getting old as something to look forward to. It’s like our psyche can’t quite get a grasp of it, of accepting it, in seeing any value in it. We seem to be only comfortable with staying young and keeping aging at bay. Generally, there is an undercurrent of associating being old with being senile, decrepit, useless, isolated, waiting to die.

Why do I present aging this way? Because many of us are unconscious to the fact that we have a problem with aging and many would argue that focusing on remaining young is the best option for healthy aging.

Although eating healthy foods, exercising and taking medication for chronic problems associated with aging is certainly recommended and a good thing, if the underlying reasons for doing this is based on fear of growing old or based on an obsession of staying young, there is a strong likelihood that you will ignore your intuition or key information that could be detrimental to the very thing you wish to protect.

We need to look at and confront our beliefs, prejudices and opinions about aging because they live just below the surface, unseen, in the collective unconscious.

They need to be brought to light in order to take it out of distortion.

THE FOUNDATION FOR SHAMANIC STUDIES a non-profit public charitable and educational organization Is offering Michael Harner's

The Way of the Shaman®

Shamanic Journeying, Power & Healing The Basic Workshop in Core Shamanism

March 2-3, 2013 and September 14-15, 2013 Ottawa (Almonte)

Led by Glenn Campbell

Faculty Member, Foundation for Shamanic Studies During this Basic experiential workshop, participants are introduced to Core Shamanism, the basic methods used by shamans to enter non-ordinary reality for problem solving and healing. Particular emphasis is on the classic shamanic journey. Practice includes shamanic divination and healing. Participants are shown how to meet and study with their own individual spirit helpers, how the shamanic journey is utilized to restore spiritual power and health, and how shamanism can be applied in contemporary daily life to help heal oneself, others, and the Planet. This introductory workshop is a prerequisite for all advanced workshops offered by the Foundation for Shamanic Studies (www.shamanism.org.)

The subtle energy nature of essential oils & how they can help us to heal on all levels.

A

s we all know, physical or emotional stress can ultimately cause disease or illness. The reason for this is a prolonged assault on the normally harmonious coherent frequencies of the body, which go “out of tune”. When our frequency range drops below 62 MHz, abnormal physiological processes can begin to develop.

This electromagnetic imbalance alters the specific vibrational frequencies of molecules, cells, tissues and organs within the body.

By “retuning” the body to its original frequency of 62 - 68 MHz, we can bring it back into balance and restore its natural harmonic resonance. At this point, illness either doesn’t manifest or is resolved.

The good news is that this “retuning” can be accomplished with therapeutic grade essential oils.

These produce coherent frequencies that are naturally tuned to the health of our bodies, restoring health, bringing mental clarity and also spiritual attunement.

By applying an essential oil with a particular frequency to the human body, the oil’s higher frequency will raise that person’s vibration. When several oils are blended together, the therapeutic properties create special vibrational remedies capable of healing or rebalancing the body/mind/soul/spirit.

Since each oil has a specific frequency, and our organs and body systems and the nutrients needed to maintain optimum health each have their specific frequencies, the oil’s electrical affinity to these components of our bodies will enhance and support these organs and body systems, and will aid in the assimilation of nutrients.

Essential oils in the higher frequency ranges tend to influence the emotions. Those in the lower frequencies have more effect on structural and physical changes, including cells, hormones, and bones, as well as viruses, bacteria, and fungi.

There’s an added bonus here too! Essential oils don’t resonate with the toxins in our bodies.

This incompatibility is what helps eliminate the toxins from our systems. To compound their healing capabilities, they don’t resonate with negative emotions either. So they can help dislodge forgotten traumas by surfacing them in our consciousness where we can deal with them and let them go.

Clinical research actually shows that essential oils have the highest frequency of any natural substance known to man, creating an environment in which disease, bacteria, virus, fungus, etc., can’t live. It is therefore feasible that in using essential oils, their frequencies can help us maintain our

optimal frequency to the extent that disease can’t exist.

The beauty of using therapeutic grade essential oils to restore coherent healthy vibrational frequencies to the body is that they are affordable, accessible, effective and versatile!

At Green Spirit, we have a large selection of 36 of the most popular essential oils. All are Superior Therapeutic Grade, and have been sourced from all over the world. We also have books on Aromatherapy and are offering the following workshop on Thursday, January 26th, 6-9pm.

Is your skin feeling deserted?

T

he past few months I have heard so many people talk about their dry, parched skin it’s practically an epidemic! The first question I ask is: how much water are you ingesting? It doesn’t have to be cold water: it can come in the form of herbal teas and other warm water based drinks, but it is essential to keep hydrated from the inside out.If the answer is yes, I keep well hydrated, then the next topic is: what are you putting on your skin to moisturize it. Many commercial lotions contain sodium laurel sulphate. It’s a great foaming agent and emulsifier and really cheap. It can also be potentially drying to the skin. So not really a good choice. Neither

are petroleum-based moisturizers, baby oil included. Petroleum creates a barrier to protect against moisture loss, but does not allow the skin to breathe.

And it’s petroleum, so it also comes at a great cost to our environment since it is obtained from non-renewable oil supplies.

Creams containing beeswax are wonderful because the wax is a semi permeable barrier: it protects and allows the skin to breathe. Shea butter is a boon to skincare. It is known for its ability to reduce scarring, fine lines and stretch marks, and help heal the symptoms of psoriasis, eczema and sunburn. It is full of vitamins, fatty acids and other nourishing ingredients. It can be applied directly to the skin, which is great for people with sensitivities, because they will know right away if it is going to help.

Cocoa butter is another botanical to look for in skin care. Like Shea butter, it has antioxidant properties, and helps to prevent stretch marks and heal skin damage. And it smells deliciously like chocolate!

I have found that applying a moisturizer to the skin just after the shower when the skin is still slightly damp is very useful. I have also found dry brushing to be very effective.

It not only gets rid of dead skin cells, but stimulates the blood flow and tissue below the epidermis, encouraging oils to come to the surface and generally detoxifying along the way. If you want to give it a try, use circular motions with the brush from your hands up to your shoulders, and from your feet up to the tops of your legs. This helps move lymph toxins up to the organs of elimination.

Finding Your Inspiration

I

believe there are two things that motivate people… inspiration and desperation. There are times when people are in pain or they are hurting so much that they feel forced to do something out of desperation. By the same token, there are people who realize that change is often instigated by inspiration.

If you are struggling to find some inspiration in your life, I urge you not to give up. Seize the moment and go out and find it. I find that even the smallest thing can give me inspiration. I get my inspiration in the strangest of places. I might see a child playing, overhear a conversation at the supermarket, or it can be as simple as a line from a movie or TV show, which just resonates and acts as a catalyst to inspire me to take action. This often happens when I was just day dreaming... you know those times when you are not really paying attention to anything in particular!

You just never know when inspiration is going to come knocking at your door :) It is always supportive to be around people who inspire you, challenge you, and who encourage you to step out of your comfort zone. After all, these are the people who are likely to give you the strength and courage to reach further than you have attempted to reach before, and to aspire to be more than you thought possible.

You can really notice this when you work with likeminded people, it’s so much easier to blend and resonate with each other, not just mentally or intellectually, but with your heart and soul. When you’re inspired, it fills you with a sense of confidence and purpose. Inspiration is a powerful force, and provides a natural source of energy that will motivate you to push yourself further.

These are the times when a goal or a desire is actually within your reach.

On the flip side, if you have been suffering from boredom, feeling listless and tired, or just not caring about anything or anyone, then it is more than likely that you are feeling a sense of desperation to change something in your life. Inspiration can be that catalyst for change.

First and foremost, try to find something that inspires you. Be daring, challenge yourself, you may want to even try something new, something scary that pushes you outside your comfort zone. It could even be something you always wanted to try, but never had the nerve or the time to do.

Find what motivates YOU -- whether it is, music, dancing, singing, drawing, or even getting back to nature. No matter what it is, you will know it when you find it! Give yourself the opportunity to change, to make your life better, and to make even more of who you really are.

Are you ready to get unstuck? Call me!

When you feel inspiration filling you with positive energy, you’ll realize that you can in fact change. When I am nervous about doing something, I just tell myself “I can do this!” Everyone is different. Focus on what you love doing and before long, your soul will start to sing out and help you reach your full potential.

Let inspiration fill your soul and allow it to motivate you – it is a lot more satisfying than desperation.

Some changes are harder than others to adjust to even when we have the desire to make the changes.

Mindfulness Meditation

by Jane Forrington

T

well spent. As a teacher of mine has always said, “It is not a quick fix but it is a deep fix.” I now know this to be true.

So check out The Essential Skill Set (TESS) (see ad) for a nice introduction to a potentially wiser way of living OR visit our on-line store of downloads involving mindfulness exercises, mindfulness meditation, mindfulness training and more. These downloads are full of material meant to help you become a deeper and more satisfied version of none other than who you already are.

Also, feel free to contact me to set up an appointment to discuss your interest in mindfulness meditation, spirituality or the TESS package. There are special consulting packages for this and I would love to hear from you!

here is a Buddhist saying...Be here with what you are doing or you will miss most of your life. I’ve had this saying posted on my fridge for over a decade now and I’m constantly grateful for the reminder. I’m even more grateful though for my mindfulness meditation practice. Being present or "being where you are," is much easier with the skills provided by mindfulness exercises.

Without mindfulness, the jungle of life gets too busy and quickly grows over with irrelevant and unsatisfying activities, thoughts and habits. Even worse for me is that if my practice stops I often find myself feeling like I should be doing (or being!) even more of the things that make me feel dissatisfied.

With Sincerity, Nothing unhealthy about wanting to improve, Jane Forrington / Lila expand, grow – indeed this is likely the evolutionary quality of life pouring through us. It's the lack of deep fulfillment in the ordinary that is a cause of deep suffering. But ironically, the ordinary IS the way.

Mindfulness exercises and mindfulness training are like discerning pathways through this jungle of ordinary and I can't think for one second that there's anything wrong with making the journey easier.

What hasn't been mentioned yet is that mindful meditation can ultimately lead us to a much deeper awareness of our true nature.

This is a path that is waiting for everyone. Some are on it Meditation Consultation Now available at without knowing it, some are 4 Sessions/$99 web-site when sign up searching, some are lost but details on-line for enews! (those already on hopeful...some are lost but mailing list will receive terrified –not understanding they can never be too out free copy soon!) of touch and that it is our heritage. It is who we are.

That's the good news.

Sign up for Jane’s BLOG and Twitter!

The not so good news is that there might need Two e-stores! under $5/over $5 to be significant effort www.lilacentre.ca involved in cultivating this awareness, in deepening our understanding, in cutting through that jungle of unconscious ordinary.

Significant effort but time

Finally, An Orgone Accumulator In Ottawa!

F

inally we have this amazing life-saving device in our city! There are very few orgone accumulators in Canada and one of them is in Ottawa. Up to now only a small group of people have been able to use it therapeutically, but now for the first time everyone can have access to this rare healing tool.

“I am well aware of the fact that the human race has known about the existence of a universal energy related to life for many ages.

However the basic task of natural science consisted in making this energy usable.

This is the sole difference between my work and all preceding knowledge.”

Wilhelm Reich (1897-1957)

What is orgone energy?

Orgone is the name given by Wilhelm Reich to life energy also known as “Ch’i”, “Prana”, “Ether”. Orgone energy has three main expressions: neutral (OR), positive (POR) or negative (DOR). POR manifests, for example as clouds. Clouds are a concentration of positive orgone, as well as all water bodies. Lightning is a discharge of accumulated orgone energy in the atmosphere.

Disease, chemtrails, electro-magnetic fields, microwaves are all examples of negative orgone (DOR) “at work”. Negative emotions create a deficit in orgone energy causing the energy body to shrink and leading to muscular tension called also “armoring”. Orgone therapy and bioenergetics are methods to deal with this “shrinking” biopathy, the worst example of which is modern day cancer.

What is an orgone accumulator?

An orgone accumulator is a simple device resembling a large box, in which a person can sit. Its healing potency comes from the way its walls are constructed – from layers of metal and non-metal material, stacked in a particular way that attracts orgone energy from the surrounding atmosphere and builds it up inside the enclosure, creating a powerful concentrated field.

Our Ottawa accumulator has also 3 surfaces covered in quarz crystal imbedded in bee’s wax, an improvement that allows the device not only to draw in and accumulate orgone energy, but also to repel accumulated DOR (dead orgone energy) from our bodies.

What is it used for?

It is used to help our body increase positive orgone energy and eliminate disease causing DOR (dead orgone energy). As a result, our body is able to produce more healthy “bions” (a unit of measurement for orgone energy, basically healthy energetic bundles that feed growth and repair in the body). Once their numbers increase, they automatically destroy all decay, disease and toxic cells in their proximity.

The main function of an orgone device is to help the body restore its vitality. From there, a wide variety of beneficial effects take place: 1. Boosting the immune system and improving tissue and blood quality.

2. Restoring damaged cells and tissues after injury 3. Destroying cancer cells, yeast and bacteria and cleansing blood and lymph 4. Relaxing the nervous system, reducing stress and muscle tension 5. And much more - like post-surgery recovery, vision improvement, skin health Orgone accumulator at the Village Clinic We use the orgone accumulator to help our patients heal better and faster. Since all you do is sit in a large box for 1530 minutes, the therapy itself is simple, relaxing and does not involve any form of manipulation or side effect. You do not have to be a patient at the clinic to use the orgone accumulator – all are welcome to come and try it out.

The orgone accumulator is a tool central to our treatment of cancer. It helps eliminate skin cancer and other tumors, reduce the pace of deterioration of organs, boosts healing energy to speed up recovery and relaxes mental tension which is a key problem in serious disease.

To learn more about the orgone accumulator, its history and how it is used to cure cancer, here are some wonderful resources to read from.

Who Knows You?

Patricia Wall ©Take the Lid Off Inc an anyone really know another person? After all, perceptions are filtered by expectations, assumptions, and roles. I often annoy people with my definition of trust: trust is when you believe you can predict someone’s behavior. If you feel betrayed, you were wrong in your prediction.

To see the truth of who someone is, start by identifying the roles you have assigned to that person in your life. What assumptions are attached to the roles?

If you consider someone a friend, what expectations come with that? Do you believe your friend has the same requirements of themselves in a friendship that you do? Or that you impose? Does your subconscious programming require your friend to meet your requirements, or to disappoint you?

It’s right to impose requirements in a relationship. It’s important to admit requirements exist, and to examine them. When you have clear requirements, people know how to feel successful in a relationship with you. Are you requirements clear? Ask yourself if it is possible for someone to know they have met your requirements, independent of your evaluation. Consider the jokes in sitcoms about females expecting males to ‘just know’ what they want. Even worse, female assumptions that the male ‘just knowing’ is a measure of their love.

Here’s a clue about clear requirements: men need to know what you want in concrete terms to feel safe in a relationship.

What do you need to feel safe in a relationship?

Whether you realize it or not, you need clear requirements. How can you know if you are ‘enough’ if you don’t have clear requirements? How can you know your own value? Now, here’s the real trick: it is YOUR job to set the requirements for you in any relationship.

Certainly, the requirements of the person with whom you have a relationship are important input – but really

they’re just information you can consider when forming your requirements. In order for you to feel right about who you are, and the choices you make, it’s essential for you to define who you want to be in any relationship.

To know your own value, establish your own requirements and make choices that allow you to meet your own requirements. Here’s another tip: if weeks go by and you find yourself unable to meet your own requirements, then you have subconscious programs requiring you to feel not good enough. It will be essential to remove that programming to feel your own value and to have successful relationships.

Wait a minute- if you’re the one setting requirements for yourself in a relationship, then why is it right for you to have requirements of the other person in the relationship? It’s right because your requirements allow you to know if the relationship is working for you. Your requirements are not about them – they’re about your self-worth. Having clear requirements allows the other person to know where they stand with you. They can’t feel self-worth unless they live as the person who meets their values. Having clear requirements allows you to know what you value – and if you value yourself.

A Message From Spirit

Right Path Healing

Channelled by Lisa Virtue

Energy & Crystal Healing Clears blocks and brings your system into balance

Dear Ones,

W

e have come to you again through this medium (double-entendre intended) to provide you again with upliftment for your spirit. This time we wish to bring to your attention the changes occurring in this world. Yes, you may see the negatives if you so choose, and there is much turmoil of spirit going on during these times of energetic change. However, this is simply a time of opportunity.

You have the opportunity to take the ride with this turbulence or attempt to hold fast against it. Holding fast, you will quickly discover, does not serve your soul’s purpose well. It will indeed be a bumpy ride for you. Going with the turbulence seems counter to your instincts. It looks, from your previous viewpoint, as if there is to be a lot of great change taking place. While this is so, it need not be a time of fear. Change is resisted by many even if it ultimately leads to betterment of your circumstances or situation. An animal survival instinct is where this comes from.

We suggest that you spend a few moments, or many if need be, with the feelings that arise in you as you view or witness your perceived challenges or potential life changes. Once you have come to witness the reaction, choose to love yourself and honour the reality that you are a human being reacting naturally. There is nothing wrong with you. You are not bad for feeling this way.

Then, my dear ones, choose, decide, that you desire a different approach to your situation. Choose that you can overcome the innate feelings by witnessing them, deciding that they are currently not serving to move you through your challenges with ease, and that your will can move you through to a new place of understanding.

Your will simply to be happier in your experience.

So, take a deep breath, relax with the thought that you, as a being are naturally immune to your own fear thoughts. Because you chose to create them, you have the antidote within you. Reframe your thinking to one of imagining what could be the possible beneficial outcomes of these new situations presented to you.

Could there be a spiritual benefit somewhere? For yourself, or perhaps for another? From a Divine level there are many reasons you may be facing a situation.

Yet even from a human level there may be many opportunities to flow with the experience and create a positive outcome.

Job change is an example many of you are currently facing. While it seems dire in the instant, the moment, could there not be benefit down the road? Perhaps you have created a comfort zone for yourself and even your loved ones that has ceased to be enriching and nourishing to your inner desire for expansion of self?

Facing this challenge allows for vast opportunity to choose anew. A second chance, if you wish, to listen to your inner whispers. The intuition that arises from your truest, highest self, felt deep within. Embrace these changes dear Ones. You are divine spirits existing in an ever-changing realm of possibilities. You have the capacity to get through with ease and grace, if you are willing to face the day as a new opportunity. Find the love, find the peace. For it lies always within you.

With great love from “above”.
