Embracing the Challenges of Awakening in Modern Life From An Interview with Thomas Hübl

Q: What is the greatest challenge for spiritual practitioners awakening and living in what you describe as the “marketplace” - our modern world? Thomas Hübl: The greatest challenge is resistance. The greatest challenge is that I resist my life, that I resist certain experiences that I have, that I often have ideas about life that are not coming from my natural connectedness to life, that are disassociated ideas that I carry within myself; so when I meet certain situations, the gap or separation that I often feel between me and the situation, between me and other people, between me and my job (between “me and...”) gives birth to all kinds of difficulties that we experience, where we no longer feel that we are in a high coherence or synchronicity with life in general. So there is the overcoming of this gap, seeing it, identifying where I resist life, and turning the resistance into a creative participation. And seeing that I actually have a lot of power once I decide to participate, to connect, to relate, to be part of, and to practice within myself a deeper transpersonal dimension. Then suddenly my life starts to flow, to line up - I meet the right people at the right time, or I read the right book at the right moment - and it seems like I’m living in a higher coherence between my inner world and my outer world. So I think that the highest challenge is to overcome the gap that comes from resisting that. And I think we all have good reasons, from where we come from, why we do that, but I think that our Awakening process needs to transcend that to become a full power in the world. To really release my creative power and participate in the world. Q: If there is only one message you would like to provide to people what would it be? Thomas Hübl: One message [pause]... That if I take Awakening seriously, then it needs to become my first priority. And it’s a very radical path. So in order to follow in the footsteps of some of the greatest Saints and Sages and Mystics that we’ve had on the planet, or that we have on the planet right now, Awakening literally needs to infuse all areas of my life, and it needs

to consume my life. And in the spiritual practice, we meet often people who are looking for current answers, like questions in their life that are hard to solve, or that there are some other issues of integration, or becoming more whole in certain areas, but ultimately the true Awakening is something that is very radical. And I believe that to devote my life to something greater than myself is a wonderful and challenging, but also a very radical thing to do. So if there was one message, then I would say that Awakening has to become my first priority in life. Thomas Hübl is an Austrian-born contemporary spiritual teacher and founder of the Academy of Inner Science. Thomas Hübl will speak at Ben Franklin Place in Ottawa Sunday June 14 7:30 pm.

Q. Can we use our mind to cure our bodies? A. The correlation between body and mind never ceases to amaze me. Every thought, feeling, experience is felt in our body and affects it. If you carefully observe, before any feeling or reaction there is a minute pause. And during that pause we decide how to respond. We do have the ability to develop a gentler type of thinking. That is good for us, and everyone else. We can also use our mind to empower our body, help it relax, and even to cool down or dim/eliminate the pain. Stress is known as one of the main root causes of illnesses. Some of the illnesses generated by stress are heart disease, asthma, obesity, diabetics, depression, etc. 1 Hypnosis generates a relaxed trance-like state in which you can help decrease pain by altering your emotional responses to your body’s pain signals and your thoughts about the pain. You do not relinquish control over your behavior while under hypnosis, but it does help you reach your objectives. In addition to managing pain, as certified hypnotist I can help you access a more positive perspective in life, access your inner wisdom and help you open yourself to your highest potential. .

The Mystical Event:

Come treat your mind, body and soul! By Lori MacDonald and Véronique Bérubé

he Mystical Event’s mission is to promote a global approach to health. In order to maintain good health, one should consider a balanced mind, body and soul. You can eat well, run every day, attend massage therapy appointments and drink an abundance of water but, if you don’t take care of stress levels or heartache, illness will eventually creep up on you. It is important to have continuous respect for your body, mind and soul. We are whole and all is interconnected. Today, with the growing awareness of mindfulness, it is getting easier to take care of ourselves. There is a healing wave passing through this generation and many practices are surfacing and is creating awareness through communities worldwide. Yoga and meditation are well-known healing therapies but are still fairly new throughout Canada. Quantum-TouchR, Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), Theta healing, Ayurveda, and many more, are available as healing options. But where to start? The Mystical Event is an excellent opportunity to experience a wide variety of services and healing modalities. You might be well acquainted with aromatherapy but haven’t yet experienced or gained knowledge into shamanism yet. The Mystical Event is the ideal place to attend in order to meet professionals who are ready and willing to introduce and or explain their healing modalities. The mystic twist to attending this event, ensures that your soul will receive some tender loving care. By treating yourself to an outing at The Mystical Event, you make yourself the priority in your own life. The energy healing practitioners on site will take you to another level of self-love and offer the assistance to restore emotional balance, support any grief and facilitate healing. Mediums, channelers and intuitive card readers will offer the same by providing messages from your angels, your spiritual guides and/or departed loved ones. Artists and artisans will also be on site with their beautiful and moving creations. This year, healing crystals and stones will hold a very special place at the event. Be amazed at the wide selection of healing stones and crystals offered by Garden of Crystals (our sponsor) and learn from their heart-centered team different ways to incorporate these beautiful stones in your everyday life. Garden

of Crystals is located at 1756, Montreal Rd in Ottawa East, and is a calming oasis to support you as you open to your own spiritual well-being. The owner, Lori MacDonald, is a well-known crystal healer and works with many different stones and crystals. For the month of June, Lori has selected Moonstone. Below is a write up for Moonstone, which includes the added benefits you will receive while working with this stone during the month of June. Crystal of June: Moonstone Moonstone carries within the power of mystery. Like the moon, this powerful crystal influences our emotions, our spirituality and our behaviours. When used properly, moonstone can greatly benefit us and support us through times of change. When the cycle of the moon reaches its full or new moon, the energies of moonstone become extremely potent. It is greatly cautioned to work with moonstone during these phases as their energies can really affect us on a spiritual, emotional and physical level. Spiritually, Moonstone assists us in overcoming our ego and encouraging spiritual purity. Moonstone will encourage us to focus on manifesting what we need from the Universe rather than what we want. Meditating with Moonstone will provide you with a reflection of yourself and the ability to understand yourself. This stone will also heighten intuition and ease the journey through energy fluxes. Physically, Moonstone is an excellent stone for pregnancy and childbirth. Like the moon, this stone will help your physical body work with the rhythms of biological forces and our natural energy cycles. Moonstone is known to assist skin and hair and is a good stone to sleep with to overcome insomnia and encourage insightful dreams.

Open Your Mind to Change

e have all found ourselves in a position where change was inevitable at one or many points in our lives. How did you feel about it? You may have felt irritated, frustrated, or even scared about how that part of your life was going to change. Maybe you felt trapped— the change was going to happen whether you liked it or not. If you rebelled against the change, you know how nerve racking these types of situations can be. You may have felt out of sorts or stressed out for days, weeks, or even months. But what if you were to go through a paradigm shift and begin to view change as opportunity? What if you could reach out and embrace change with open arms? Get ready for some mind-expanding, eye-opening ways to view change as opportunity in your life: • Accept the idea of change. When you get comfortable with the idea that change is going to happen, it will help you go into a change with less stress. John F. Kennedy once said, “The one unchangeable certainty is that nothing is certain or unchangeable.” Change will, in essence, always be occurring. Recognizing this fact will make life easier for you. • See that change implies progress. Whether you’re ready to admit it or not, when something changes, it’s progressing toward something. As you probably realize, living life on a day-to-day basis often involves making progress on some level. • Recognize that change introduces unknowns into your life. The aspect of change that probably shakes you up the most is that it introduces unknown factors. It can be a bit discombobulating (I love that word!!) to not know what could be coming your way. Still, the unknown aspect of change must be acknowledged. • Be ready to experience the “newness” that change brings. If you can shift your thinking from a focus on the unknown to recognize that change involves “newness”—new things, people, places, and ideas— with at least some of it bringing excitement and interest, you’ll feel a whole lot better about it. • Believe that change can be transformative. You could be exposed to better products, knowledge, and skills as results of change. Many changes also have great aspects that open up your life in ways you hadn’t imagined before. Your experience at work or home—wherever the change occurs—can transform your life for the better. • Notice that a wider array of choices often accompanies change. Along with change often come more options. A whole new world opens up, in a sense. You’re in a position to take advantage of new choices. • View change as “the spice of life.” There’s an old saying based on something the poet, William

Cowper, wrote that states, “Variety is the spice of life.” If you can apply that attitude to how you see change, your whole approach to it will be different. • Tell yourself that you can adjust to change. The fact is that you’ve probably experienced hundreds of changes so far over your lifetime. And you’ve adjusted to them. You’ve worked things out. You’ll be able to adjust to more changes in the future. If you shift how you regard change, you’ll feel more comfortable with the whole idea. Accepting change, viewing change as progress, recognizing there will be unknowns, and embracing the newness of change will help you get ready for change. If you can see change as transformative, notice that it creates more choices for you, view it as “the spice of life,” and remind yourself that you can adjust to anything that happens; you’ll approach change more positively. Now you can go forward into the next change with an open mind!

14 Simple Rules for Good Health (Part 4)

WHO ARE YOU? Written by Alexis Nicol

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

ho are you? No, really, who are you? Why is it so difficult to get a clear answer? I guess that’s why I keep on trying to figure it out. Another reason it may seem so difficult is because we/I am constantly evolving, changing and for this I am grateful. This question leads me to many others; what would it be like to be my true authentic self? What would it feel like – physically, emotionally, etc.? Being comfortable to suddenly decide to dance in the street or start talking about LOVE and Divine energy and our connection as ONE and not feeling self-conscious if anyone thought I was crazy. Would this be true freedom? Partially I suppose. I think this would be being authentic - being true to one’s self. It certainly would be a huge step forward. Did not Christ, Buddha and all the other spiritual masters do just that – be true to themselves; honouring the truth of being ONE with the Universe; the energy of creation? I don’t believe that they were concerned about worries of fears of pain or rejection. They were as close to their creator as was meant for them to be. They knew that they were ONE with everyone and everything. This is why they were able to heal “others”. Each supposed separate being was just a part of them that needed healing, forgiveness with the energy of Divine Love. They were able to tap into this beautiful and pure Consciousness – how Divine! Isn’t this the “secret” to our happiness, our purpose to being fulfilled - to be ONE with ourselves and every living creation? Each person we connect to in order to forgive or share some of that Loving energy with is one step towards the healing of us all. You may think this is all a bunch of mumble-jumble, but today I’m not worried what you think, I am excited and grateful for the ones that will take heart from this to connect and extend “their” Love with “others”. Here’s to being ONE! Alexis believes in a Wholistic approach to healing mind, body and soul. She combines Reiki, Reflexology, Reconnective Healing®, the Reconnection® and A Course In Miracles in her practice. www.firstlighthealing.com 613-263-7925

hese rules are meant to be simple. Truth and common sense are always simple. Not necessarily easy, but simple nonetheless, because health and balance should not be complicated. In the last issue I introduced the first three rules I use to guide my patients, and myself, to maintaining health and vitality. You can see all 14 of these rules on my website at www.blaiseryan.com/ blog. Now let’s look at the next common sense rules to staying in top form. Rule #10: Avoid processed foods and eat lots of fresh organics. I receive so many questions about nutrition and healthy eating. Let’s face it, this subject can become more and more confusing and contradictory the more you google it. To keep healthy eating simple and sustainable, I follow a simple formula: Eat as close to nature as possible, choose fresh organics, and avoid inflammatory foods. Inflammatory foods are things that are hard to digest or that are known to cause inflammation in people who are sensitive, such as anything that has been overly processed or that is high in sugar, chemicals, preservatives, food colorings, or additives. Take some time to learn about “ingredients”. To make it easy, I tend to avoid the biggest, most marketing and cheapest brand names, because they usually can spend more on marketing and charge a lower price because they use the cheapest ingredients with the highest level of preservatives to extend the shelf-life. Rule # 11: Follow a path with heart Your path with heart is the one that keeps you smiling. Above all, this is YOUR life. You get to decide your own destiny. What do you want your life to stand for? How happy and fulfilled to you want to be during the limited time that you are here on earth? Whatever makes you and those around you smile the most – that’s where your heart is. Follow your own unique path with heart. Don’t settle out of fear. Reach for your dreams if that’s what makes you smile. Remember it’s not only about “what” you do, but also “how” you do it. Your life may be 90% aligned, but maybe your health is just what’s lagging? Maybe you need to step out of your comfort zone more. Maybe you need to stand up for yourself more? Maybe you need to

Recognizing the Pattern of Addiction

by Amâeil (Melinda Urban RIHR) Healing with Divine heart to awaken the deep truth within. ddiction patterns are rampant on Earth, not only because there is much unhealed pain, but because mind control and genetic manipulation has ensured that its destructive force is carried through generations. While addictive patterns can be highly disruptive they can also be subtle, creating limitation for even those that are on a conscious path. No matter how mild or extreme the addiction, any addictive pattern disempowers and keeps feeding the dark agenda. The first step to healing any addiction is to recognize that there is a pattern, and acknowledge the limitation it creates in one’s life. From a psycho-emotional perspective, unhealed shame is the root of all addiction. One most effective way to heal it is to speak about it openly in supportive therapy so that it’s no longer kept as a secret. (To read about the pattern, please follow this article to TONE.ca or www.MelindaUrban.com/blog) Changing addiction can involve more than changing your ego mind or beliefs about it. Emotional pain, shock, trauma, implants, or programming, from any timeline, all cause soul fragmentation, disconnection, and damage to the soul record, creating dead energy. The pain of the dead energy is what the addict tries to avoid. Entities, as predatory parasites, will siphon the energy of addicts, their host, creating more dead energy and intensifying the addiction. As the addictive behaviour grows, the individual becomes resonant with the frequency of the addiction. Starseeds and Indigos in particular can carry inherited addictive patterns that they are here to clear from

stand down and let those around you stand up more? Connect with that sacred place in the center of your chest, allow it to bring peace and satisfaction to your soul, and live from there. Rule #12: Breathe through sunny days and stormy ones too. Life isn’t always a sunny day on the beach. It’s full of ups and downs. No one escapes life without experiencing sadness, loss and pain. That’s ok. It’s a part of the experience. It’s the stormy days that make us appreciate the sunny ones that much more. Just remember, keep breathing. Our first act in life is an inhale, and our last act before death will be an exhale. The mind is like a kite, the breath is the string that allows us to connect and control the kite.

So whether it’s stormy seas or a calm blue ocean, keep breathing. With each breath, appreciate the moment, because one day your last exhale will come. It’s death that gives life meaning. According to Traditional Chinese Medicine, the emotional energy associated with the Lungs is “acceptance”. Be like the supple tree that accepts the strong wind – bend and return without losing your roots. If you struggle with the ups and downs of life, or if you have a hard time breathing deeply or steadily, get some acupuncture and learn qigong. Rule #13: Connect with nature regularly. Nature heals us. Time in nature will reset your mental, emotional and physical state. It recharges and grounds us. Go for a walk in the park. Contemplate a tree. Listen

Opening To Your Divine You

Rev. Sherry Harris, MSW, RSW, Psycho-spiritual counsellor, coach, teacher, healer

e came into this world connected to our Christ Consciousness, remembering who we are, remembering our God connection. We came into our little bodies fully awake, fully developed spiritually, wanting to be able to express to the whole world the innate Love we knew we were.. What happened, is our Divine Self got shut down, frozen, buried deep inside us. Our expanded Self was trying desperately to communicate to our care givers who we are and they were unable to hear. They treated us like unknowing beings who were powerless, incapable of knowing. And so we were molded to do what they wanted, to be who they wanted us to be. Our authentic real, Godknowing Selves hid deep inside and the false self, the people pleaser, took over, anxious to please to receive the rewards of the best possible care. Very quickly our Divine Child, our inner child, who came in full of love, compassion, and wisdom, fled into the depths of our subconscious, our emotional operating system. There our true self hides until unconditional love comes along and encourages us to peal off the layers of wounding to reveal our true divine nature. In the inner child work, our adult self takes on the role of the unconditionally loving mother/father to our wounded child within. She or he creates a safe, nurturing relationship with that frightened, hurt and angry child within encouraging the child to share with us through dialoging- the pain, fear and rage he/she

to the sound of water. Feel the ground. Breathe in the smells of nature. A great thing to do is to find your own personal nature sacred spot. Somewhere that you can go frequently to just unwind and clear your mind. Ideally find a spot where you will be all alone without any interruptions. But if that’s not possible it can be in your local park. Make a point of connecting with nature regularly.

Our loving parent just loves and loves and loves asking the child to share the pain of the early journey without judgment, with only compassion and support. As the wounded child shares the pain the healing begins. By bringing the hurt to the light and exposing it to unconditional love, the suffering begins to dissolve. As the inner child heals, the adult heals. The inner child work is a little more complicated than that and it is so worth exploring. It saved my life and I know it can help you.

Rule #14: Never stop growing and learning. Growth happens outside your comfort zone. Growth is our nature. “If you’re not growing, you’re automatically dying” – Author unknown. Think about it, if a plant isn’t growing, it’s deteriorating and wilting. Humans are like plants, we need to keep growing. Our comfort zones are the edge of what we know. Explore the unknown a little. Stretch yourself past your limits. Cross something new off of your bucket list. Take a class, learn a new skill.

Many of us can remember when we were little looking at the stars at night and wondering who lived there? What did they do? Could they see us? What did they think about us and how we lived? We had so many questions. These are just a few. We had questions about different parts of Mother Earth and beyond. As youngsters it often seemed like there were no answers, or that the answers we were receiving were not part of the “grown up” world, so maybe they were not real. Now there is a realization and experience that there are answers to these questions and more. We receive these answers, this wisdom, through soul communication which is soul-to-soul communication. This is a very simple statement of soul communication but it holds unlimited possibilities.

Everything has a soul, so our ability to gain wisdom is virtually unlimited. For example, I have received amazing teachings from one of the plants in my living room. I have received karma teachings from the vegetables I was preparing for my supper. The source of the wisdom is only limited by our imagination. We often do not think about these souls as providing us with valuable teachings but they are eager to serve us. The purpose of every soul is to serve. I have also received precious wisdom and guidance from the Divine, from my guides and wisdom figures, from many leaders and holy ones in the Soul World. It is a most extraordinary honour and privilege to be able to receive this kind of guidance. It is like being tutored by the Divine, by the highest realms of the Soul World. The secrets and guidance I have received have directed and shaped my life. Once we begin to connect, soul and soul guidance becomes part of our day. With soul communication our life becomes an ongoing discovery of the secrets of the Universe. Join Master Marilyn Smith and Master Lynda Chaplin in July at Saint Paul University.

Aromatherapy and Ayurveda: The Perfect Blend?

s a Certified Aromatherapist, I am always interested in how people have used essential oils throughout time. It is one of the reasons I find the oils so compelling. I love the idea that a natural ingredient has been used for hundreds, if not thousands of years. It means that its attributes and any precautions about its use are very well known, and its efficacy has stood the test of time. Ayurveda is the ancient medicinal art in use at least 3000 years ago. The word comes from the Sanskrit “Ayus” (life) and “Veda” (knowledge). How delightful that its meaning is the knowledge of life! I also was very drawn to the fact that the approach is a holistic one, involving mind, body and spirit, and based on prevention of disease and disharmony within the body. According to Ayurveda, there are three doshas, made up of the five elements: fire, water, earth, air and ether. Imbalances in the doshas can cause disease in the body. The doshas are called Vata, Pitta and Kapha, according to which elements they incorporate: Vata is air and ether, Pitta fire and water, and kapha water and earth. Each of us is predominantly one dosha, although typically has traits with more than one, and sometimes all three. The doshas require different lifestyle choices for balance. For example, a Vata personality may need warming and calming oils for balance, whereas Pittas need to keep cool. Imbalances can be countered in different ways: through diet and the regulation of certain habits. And, of course, with the addition of essential oils. Even the carrier oils used in massage will vary according to dosha. The oil of choice traditionally is sesame oil, due to its high concentration of linoleic acid, is anti inflammatory, antioxidant and anti bacterial.

Vata massage can include sesame, wheatgerm, olive or flax oil as the base, while Pitta do better with olive, coconut or sunflower and Kapha sweet almond, corn or safflower. Added to the base oil are a combination of essential oils, each suited to a specific dosha body type. The list below suggests some essential oils for each Dosha I have researched. There are many more essential oils which have been suggested, but I chose to share only those that are found easily. Vata: clove, ginger, oregano,cypress, frankincense, geranium, and rosewood, basil, lavender, clary sage, lemon, cardamom, cinnamon, myrtle, orange, vetiver Pitta: myrrh, rose, coriander, fennel, geranium, lemon, mint, chamomile, spearmint coriander, ylang ylang, lavender, grapefruit, sweet orange, vetiver Kapha: cinnamon, lemongrass, clove, oregano, rosemary, eucalyptus, marjoram, lemon, peppermint, angelica, bergamot, cinnamon, cypress, clary sage, frankincense, jasmine, juniper Blend five drops of essential oil blend to every 15 mL of carrier oil. It is best not to blend too many scents together at one time. Try three to start, and make sure you record all amounts. Don’t know your Dosha?

Conflict Resolution Process Options

frequently deliver public seminars on conflict resolution in general and mediation in particular. One of the key points I always want to make has to do with thinking not just about what you want to end up with, but about how you are going to get there. The “what” refers to the substantive results you want to achieve. In the divorce field this means saying something like, “In my settlement I want to get to keep the home, I want half of his pension, I want so much in spousal support, etc.” Certainly it is important to think about these matters. But I think it is equally important – and, perhaps, more important – to think about the “how.” How you are going to go about getting what you want? How are you going to discuss these matters with your spouse? What process are you going to use? In my seminars, I draw a long horizontal line across a flip chart. At the far left end I write the words “kitchen table.” At the far right end I write “Court.” I explain that these are the two extremes on a continuum of processes that people in conflict can choose from. I explain that about 2% of the population can sit down together at their kitchen table and work out just about everything directly between themselves. Another 5 – 10% will never be able to resolve anything between themselves and will require a judge in Court to make a final ruling. But in between are a number of other process options. Next to “kitchen table” I write “mediation.” Moving along the continuum from left to right I put down other processes, like collaborative family law (CFL) and lawyer-to-lawyer negotiation, and then, just before “Court” I write “arbitration.” I then ask the audience to sit back and look at these various processes set out on the continuum. I ask them, “What is happening as you move from left to right?” Here are some of the usual answers: 1. Cost increases. As you move from left to right across the continuum the processes become more expensive. A protracted Court battle can cost in the high five figures, and often much more. 2. More time is spent. It is not unusual for a difficult divorce case to take a year, and sometimes two, to wind its way through the court system. This is a long time for a family to put its life on hold. 3. Stress escalates. One man at one of my seminars made the room laugh when he said that his hair got greyer as he moved from left to right across the continuum. But he was correct. The energy spent on “right side” processes, and the stress that so often follows, can be debilitating for many couples. And what about the stress on their children? 4. Control is lost. For many couples, this is the most

As they move along to the right side, they feel they have less and less say over what will happen to them. 5. Privacy is lost. Processes at the left side of the continuum are completely private. But once you move to the right side, this privacy decreases. Court proceedings are open to the public and almost anyone can access your Court file. If confidentiality is important, couples need to stay at the left side of the continuum. Going through a separation and divorce, and achieving a resolution that is fair for both parents and their children is important and takes a certain amount of time, money and energy. But isn’t life too short to spend many, many months and many, many dollars on this? There are easier ways to separate, and they are found at the left side of the process option continuum. Evita Roche was Canada’s first full-time lawyer-mediator. Since 1979, she has helped over 5,000 couples mediate the issues arising from their separation. In the 1990’s Evita was a Professor of family law and mediation at the University of Ottawa law school, where she received the first Excellence in Teaching Award. Her private practice is restricted to separation and divorce mediation, and she frequently delivers seminars on subjects related to family law.

CATARACTS?

They May Dissolve With Eye Drops Judy Spence ND(QC), RN

on’t you just love it when nutrients play a role in healing conditions that our bodies develop? There are at least two types of products reputed to dissolve the opacities of the lenses in the eye: N-acetylcarnosine (NAC) drops and Cineraria Maritima homeopathic drops. Patients are rarely told about these effective, natural products which may provide an alternate to surgery. Senile Cataracts develop with aging. Animals also develop cataracts from UV radiation. Preventatively, wear quality UV protective sunglasses, always wear hats with brims, eat foods rich in antioxidants and take antioxidant supplements. Cataracts develop from “oxidation of lipids in the lens of the eye is thought to contribute to cataracts. NAC may also help prevent “cross-linking” of proteins, another factor behind cataracts” (Berkley University). Smokers are more at risk as they have poorer circulation and need even more anti-oxidants. I underwent an experimental procedure to correct another eye condition which used Vitamin B2+UV radiation aimed specifically at causing cross-linking. This experimental procedure sped up cataract formation. People who are poor candidates for lens implants may be especially relieved to know they have choices. In researching my options, I found that there are safe, natural, effective alternatives which can take upwards of four or more months to achieve appreciable improvement in clearing opacities and improving eyesight.

The drops usually lead to a reduction in opacity of the lenses and improved eyesight in humans and animals. University of Berkley: “NAC makes its way to the interior of the eye, where it may have antioxidant effects”. A veterinarian told me she prescribes ‘Can C’ for animals with excellent results. Cineraria Maritima has been in use for over 100 years and is available preservative-free and pH corrected. Treatments we offer at the NAET Clinics Ottawa and Outaouais help you better utilize anti-oxidants in foods and supplements, improve circulation both in the eyes and the whole body, improve detoxification and help smokers kick the habit. We combine NAET, Ear Acupuncture, Hypnosis and Homeopathy in our ‘stop smoking and detox program’. www.naetottawa.com 613-728-2579 and 819-661-1061 FOOTNOTE I have located the above noted anti-cataract products on-line at Amazon.com, swansonvitamins.com, ebay.com, ebay.ca and www.pureformulas.com

nxiety can be experienced at different levels, and although most people experience a relatively mild form of anxiety when facing particularly stressful situations (such as a speech or presentation) anxiety disorders are severe and can disrupt the day-to-day life of an individual. Anxiety can be brought on by a fear of something that happened, or what we think happened and dread happening again. When individuals suffer from an anxiety disorder it may lead to avoidance of certain situations because they fear their anxiety may be triggered. This can in turn lead to relationship and/or career problems such as not being able to achieve potential job opportunities or promotions and being unable to develop personal relationships. Types of anxiety Generalised anxiety disorder Individuals suffering from generalised anxiety disorder often anticipate tragedy and worry extremely about family, money and health. Generalised anxiety disorder interferes with daily life and is usually

diagnosed when an individual spends at least six months worrying excessively about normal everyday problems. Other minor issues such as chores or appointments can also cause anxiety and for some, just getting through the day can be extremely stressful. Panic disorder Another type of anxiety disorder is panic disorder which is characterised by terror, which strikes suddenly without warning. Panic attacks are a common symptom of panic disorder, but not everyone who has a panic attack will develop panic disorder. Panic disorder is much more common than is generally recognised and affects a large proportion of the population. Social anxiety disorder Social anxiety disorder is defined by extreme anxiety and discomfort in social situations. According to some research, social anxiety (also known as social phobia) is the third most common psychiatric disorder after depression and alcoholism. Fear of being around other people, having to interact with them and being judged negatively by them are the common signs of social anxiety. Agoraphobia (the fear of open spaces, crowds, public places and/or travelling alone) is another severe form of anxiety. Anxiety symptoms As there are different types of anxiety, there are a

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

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.

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 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 certified by the American Board of Hypnotherapy. Dr. Luke has

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.

Can Hypnosis Help With Social Anxiety? By Dr Luke

“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 613-878-5874.

number of different symptoms, however the most common include: · dizziness and feeling light headed · reduced attention span · breathlessness · restlessness · irritability · difficulty in concentrating · loss of sexual interest · headaches · loss of appetite · muscle tension · difficulty breathing · a tight feeling in the chest · sweating · difficulty sleeping · poor performance · diarrhoea · palpitations. Causes of anxiety As each individual reacts differently to different pressures, determining one cause of anxiety is difficult. Research suggests there are a number of contributing factors, such as: Brain chemistry Some medication seems to alter the chemical imbalances in some individual’s brains, suggesting that there could be a chemical imbalance link to anxiety. Life experiences The development of anxiety disorders is believed to be linked to long term exposure to abuse, poverty, violence or drugs. Personality Research suggests that personality types may determine whether or not you are susceptible to developing an anxiety disorder. Treatment for anxiety Anxiety can often be treated by a combination of approaches. Medication, cognitive behavioural therapy and behavioural therapy are all common treatments for anxiety disorders. Hypnotherapy can also be an effective treatment for anxiety disorders, it aims to seek out the root cause of the anxiety and change an individual’s perception of a past event or release emotion from it.

pper back pain can be a common problem for a few reasons, a lot of which have to do with our lifestyle. Because we spend a lot of time sitting, we can put extra strain on the upper back as well as create postural problems. This, combined with lack of exercise which weakens the muscles in the upper back, can lead to upper back pain. Also, many of us carry tension in the shoulders, neck, and upper back, leading to further pain. The spine is a connected unit, so problems in the neck or lower back can lead to pain in the upper back as well. The two most common causes of upper back pain are muscular pain and joint disorders. Muscular pain can develop easily in the large upper back muscles, either due to lack of strength, or injury from overuse through sports, work, or repetitive use. Joint dysfunctions can also lead to upper back pain. Because the vertebrae in the upper back are connected both to each other and to the ribs, there is more possibility for problems. Problems can arise where the ribs connect to the vertebrae, such as with a rib fracture or a rib that shifts out of place. In the treatment of upper back pain, exercise and postural correction are very important. Acupuncture can also help in the healing process, by helping to relieve pain, inflammation, and stiffness and strengthen the area. By looking at what is causing the pain, we can determine how to correct the problem. Is it due to trauma, whether through an injury or over time through poor posture or repetitive stress? Is it due to our external environment such as too much exposure to cold, heat, damp, or wind? Or is it due to an underlying internal imbalance that is weakening the musculoskeletal tissues? While working very well for dealing with the pain and inflammation of upper back pain, acupuncture can also help to strengthen the upper back and to correct internal imbalances that may be contributing to weakness or pain or hampering proper healing.

Are you angry? Or scared?

CREATE CLOSER LOVING RELATIONSHIPS Marlene & Bob Neufeld A Couple helping Couples learn life-changing relationship skills

www.marleneandbob.com

requently couples come to see us complaining about each other’s anger. We used to reply that the average person is angry 17 times a day (we no longer remember where we heard that statistic) and that it isn’t the anger that is the problem; it is how it is expressed. We often explore with people how they can express themselves in an unarguable; i.e. blame-free way. If you would like to learn more about learning to speak in ways that do not promote an argument, check out the article on our website on this topic. Recently, we have come to believe that underneath almost all anger is fear. You’ve heard of “fight or flight” with respect to fear. The fight response of fear happens when the person moves toward the frightening thing rather than away from it (flight response). It is characterized by a reactively quick response, attacking or challenging actions. The person’s chin comes up and out; weight is forward; a person’s arms get tight, hands may form into fists; action speeds up, talking is faster, louder, and shriller. This type of fear may feel and look like anger. No one, not even us, likes to have our partners angry with us. Anger is scary. However, looking underneath our own anger and our partner’s anger and getting curious about the underlying fear can often soften the response. Fear is more likely to bring out empathy and compassion than anger. Anger is usually related to a perceived or actual threat, to a fear that my needs won’t get met, that I will be abandoned or rejected, that my partner isn’t taking me into consideration or seeing me as defective in some way. If you want to explore your own or your partner’s fight response, give us a call.

A Festival For All Who Believe In The Magic Of Play

Come and join the milling crowds from near and far. They all have one thing in common, somewhere inside they hear the tinkle of Faery Bells and are called to experience and see how much fun FaeryTime is. Then urrah! Hurrah! The Faeries are back. After a one they, like Faerie CECE, can also say “I BELIEVE” year hiatus they have returned. We assume the time away was spent having fun and dreaming up ways FaeryFest 2015 will be held on Sunday, June 21st to bring back magic and play for all at the 4th Annual from 11am – to 4pm at the Perth Civitan Hall 6787 FaeryFest on June 21st at the Perth Civitan Hall and Country Road #43 in Perth. Suggested admission to the festival is $2.00 for adults and $1.00 for children. outdoor grounds from 11am - 4:00pm. More than 50 vendors will be present to showcase All admissions go to the Lanark Animal Welfare both talents and goods. A wide range of wonderful Society (LAWS).

will be on hand. Whether it be food for the heart, spirit and body; the mind is encouraged to play freely at this gentle feast. For the outdoor lovers bring a picnic, BBQ and gluten free food will be on sale on site. This FaeryFest will be a coming together of people in the old way. A simple way of gathering and enjoying the meeting of old and new friends who will dress up or not, a personal choice for all, some will have wings, some will wear T-shirts, the thing everyone wears is a smile. A roving photographer will be available on site to capture your day. This exactly how Faerie CECE (Cheryl Sinfield) the founder of FaeryFest likes it to be, all smiles and well rooted in Faery values. Cheryl is a very warm and gracious host, her energetic presence sparkles with pleasure and gratitude that she is able to bring the gifts of Faeries to all who are willing to receive them. Folklore tells us that Faeries are the guardians of nature and animals: sparkly winged, merry creatures who remind us of the beauty to be found in all things. Cheryl is a talented painter and sculptor who graduated with a Fine Arts Degree from Queen’s University. Her work with painting mythical figures after graduating, morphed into her great love of creating Faery Houses, Faery Doors, and her latest productions of Faery Portals. These beautiful creations can be seen, enjoyed and purchased at the FaeryFest taking your imagination into playtime. The first festival was a humble thirteen vendors and has grown to four times it’s size. This growth of the fourth festival is a testament to Faerie CECE’s curiosity and steadfast support to see other’s realize their potential. Nothing delights her more than when she sees a shift in a person’s awareness causing recognition of self that says “I can”. FaeryFest is an opportunity to return to childhood freedom. No matter what your age you can follow your heart and play, have fun, eat, listen to the music of drumming and singing. Visit the “Faery Boat” which will gift you, have yourself decorated by a Henna Artist and let the kids do crafts and hear stories .

SELF- CARE

irst and foremost self-care is an attitude of self-love. We can look after ourselves while hating ourselves and or what we are doing or we can find out who we are and the things that fit best for us. It is my belief that most types of meditation have been promoted by introverts. So what about those people who are extraverts, audio, kinesthetic and kinetic people? There are forms of meditation for everyone. Visual meditations are wonderful for those who interact visually with the world. There are lead meditations for audio through hearing. Kinesthetic people may do well with practicing a technique so they can feel ands. Finally kinetic people may want choose yoga or Thai chi. All of these will bring you into your right brain and into the deep still calm place within. I used to beat myself up because I could not sit and meditate. My heart would race and my mind would race. Then I thought where do, I lose all sense of time and space. Gardening, ironing and doing the dishes came to mind immediately. Doing an Ht technique such as the sacred chakra spread allows me to go within and I can actually go into a very deep place. Praying, journaling, being heart centred, perusing experiences that ignite awe and inspire you plus living your values and practicing HT. are all options. Another thing that influenced my lack of self- care has been that I was taught it is better to give than receive. Then I read an article that stated even Jesus looked after him first by going into the wilderness. That gave me permission to take some time to regenerate myself and to state my needs without feeling guilty. An introvert may want to read books, sit by them self with a hobby or other activity by themselves to regenerate and feed their mental needs. On the other hand people who are like me and are extroverted may wish to play games, take classes or do hobbies with other people. To meet your physical needs again think about whom you are and what you would enjoy and be able to stick to. We also need sleep but the amount of sleep again can very, some people are morning people while others are night people our age and energetic selves also come into play. Some people need naps while others not only do not need naps but feel very sick when or if they do. Cuddling a pet, taking a bath and resting when sick are other options. Something else to take into consideration are what needs we did not get met as we grew up because healing that part of us is also in my belief a very necessary part of self-care. Emotionally who are you? Can you allow yourself to express your emotions or do you stuff them because you were never allowed to share them or even worse

not allowed to have them and therefor have no idea that you have emotions? Allow yourself to cry where ever you feel comfortable. Spending time with people who love and support you whether it is with one person at a time or a group is very important. Bonding is a basic need. Journalling is a useful way to express feelings but even though we are told it is a must it like everything else I believe is not for everyone. You may want to play an instrument, art, sing, write poetry or use many other creative ways to express those feelings that are just waiting for an invitation to be expressed. Support systems are useful for everyone. Again it may be with one person at a time or join a group. Finally you may want to see a therapist for extra support. Finally other important aspects to consider are relationships, finances, goals and routines, work, recreation, family and friends.

DNA Activation by Singing

Created and given by Gabriela Gomez

echnically DNA is deoxyribonucleic acid that resides in the cell nucleus. Its function is to store inherited biological programs: physical characteristics, capacities, intellectual, and psychological aptitudes. It takes the form of a double helix wrapped around itself like a telephone cable. It was discovered in 1953 by Watson and Crick. Recently in 2003 the human genome was decoded or rather only 3% of it as the remaining 97%, that does not produce proteins, was denominated “scrap” and considered unusable.  As lightworkers dedicated to the study of DNA we know that the interdimensional connection with your spiritual DNA occurs within this 97% of “latent” DNA. “Spiritual” DNA stores your universal inheritance: your astrological pattern or “route map”, your lessons learned from life, your contract, your karma, your votes, your implants, your mentors, your life memories on this earth, the memories of your cosmic journey, your angelic inheritance, your divinity. I have been working and experimenting with vibratory therapies for years, always seeking the tonal or vibrational keys that the human being requires to activate their gifts. We are sound right down to the smallest entity of our being. We are atoms, molecules and cells that vibrate. Our entire biological make up vibrates. This vibration creates your unique resonance and you communicate with the universe with this resonance by emitting and receiving frequencies. “Spiritual” DNA is vibrational and is comprised of the 12 layers that create a resonant fabric. Layer 1 is the physical DNA helix or human genome followed by another 11 interdimensional layers waiting patiently for you to remember them, activate them and use them to evolve.   Each DNA layer is associated with a pineal frequency, a sound that functions as an activator. When we work consciously with these sounds, the spiritual alchemy commences and our human consciousness resonates with our “superior vibrations” or Higher Self which produces an exchange of energy and information between both. Awakening this information is the key to ascension, the key to mastery because you release your potential by activating it; you appear in your full splendour and power...and this is what Heaven expects from you... that you take control of yourself, show yourself in your true colours and irradiate your love vibration to the universe.

Since his arrival in 1987, Kryeon, the Magnetic Master, said: “divinity is found inside you, in your DNA. The only difference between yourselves and the Grand Masters who walked on the planet is that their DNA was activated.” Immediately afterwards he began to give information on the 12 layers of human DNA and assigned each one of them a divine Hebrew name.  My work as a sound lecturer has been aimed at combining Hebrew names with the pineal frequencies corresponding to each DNA layer. For some time I have been working with these frequencies helping many people remember who they really are. Singing the Hebrew names of your DNA with its corresponding pineal frequencies is very powerful and transforming as we are all sounds and sound is the most direct and quick way of arriving at the essence of our cellular consciousness. Our DNA emits a melody that is our harmonic signature in the universe by which we are known and identified. Humanity has been out of tune with the cosmos for thousands of years. Our mission is to reestablish the frequency of love in us to irradiate it to all human beings and we do this by means of activating our DNA. Currently, the frequency is being reharmonised because there is an increase in electrical and electromagnetic impulses which provides more light and facilitates access to superior dimensions by means of harmonics. What happens when you activate your DNA? What causes disease? There are hereditary, genetic reasons, environmental impacts on the electromagnetic field, solar radiation, karmic or contractual reasons. In New Energy everything can change. There is a genetic program comparable with a computer program. DNA codes information, RNA transcribes it and translates it into a series of orders that builds the amino-acid sequence. We communicate with cellular consciousness at the DNA level to restore essential energy patterns by means of intention, the conscious use of sound on the electromagnetic field. The 12 layers of DNA contain different types of information on your whole being. Layer 1 or Human Genome, as we said earlier, stores your biological inheritance, layer 2 is the emotional layer that stores information on your life plan, layer 3 is the layer for activation and ascension, layers 4 and 5 store the characteristics of your divine essence, layer 6 is the connection to your Higher Self, layers 7, 8 and 9 are the Lemurian layers, layer 9 is the liberation by fire of Shekinah—a catalytic layer that gives rise to a new beginning written in layers 10, 11 and 12—the layers of God.

Do You Have Poise?

Free Talk and Demonstration

by Richard Albert

hat is poise? On the physical side, poise is appropriate degree of effort, applied to any activity; poise is ‘relaxed readiness’. On the mental side, poise is calmness, exercising thoughtful choice and decision. Poise is having an appropriate degree of self control over how your body and mind respond to whatever stimulus life may present. With poise you can prevent repetitive and inept habitual patterns of reaction to stimuli. By inhibiting these negative habitual patterns, your benefits can include: • reduced stress, tension, pain, and anxiety • increased physical health, self confidence, and co-ordination • better performance in sports, dance, music, fine arts, at work, at play

Richard Albert 613-315-5730 alextech@magma.ca www.alexalbert.ca insurance covered Poise can add 10 good years to one’s life span. Poise can remove 10 years from one’s appearance. We all of us were born with poise. You can see it in a child of 18 months. You can see it in animals. However, we can also adopt poor habits of reacting to stimuli, poor habits of thought, movement, and emotional response, habits that undermine and blur the memory of the poise we once knew. These poor habits are learned initially by modeling (imitation of others), and can be exacerbated by stress, illness and accident. Fortunately, you can never lose the poise you once knew. Thankfully, you can remember it again. How can you as an adult recover the poise you once knew instinctively as a young child? The short answer is ‘by paying attention to your intention’. It is common knowledge that, consciously and unconsciously, we are continuously expressing our intentions, what we wish for. What would happen if we consciously wished for poise? There is the method entirely devoted to this endeavor. It is called the Alexander Technique, a method simple yet sophisticated, teaching in all three modalities, explanation (auditory), example (visual), and hands-on (kinesthetic). The Alexander Technique can teach you how to realize your wish to permit your instinctive poise to play a significant role in your life.

What is Sandtray Therapy?

andtray is a remarkable therapeutic technique that can be offered across the lifespan/lifecycle. The use of sand and images/symbols provides an outlet for the unconscious/conscious to be witnessed, experienced and expressed. Sandtray is a truly holistic approach in which nothing about the experience is taken for granted, but viewed as a gift.

and are capable of dealing with. Each person’s journey in the sandtray is unique and will be welcomed and honoured. Together we will witness the sacredness of the journey, the sacredness of the your Spirit, of your true Self. The psyche will direct what needs to be shared. The symbolism represented in the images can evoke powerful emotions that may be overwhelming and frightening yet the tray holds the experience. The tray becomes the container for what could otherwise feel or

Sandtray: A remarkable therapeutic technique Visit Opening of the Sacred Spirit at the Summer Solstice Aboriginal Festival June 19-21, Vincent Massey Park www.openingsacredspirit.com A sacred and nurturing space for healing through Sandtray and play therapy Dr. Gisela De Domenico, founder of the SandtrayWorldplay technique, describes Sandtray as dynamic therapeutic technique that strives to bring harmony to the mind, body and spirit. It is about honouring experiences in such a way that it becomes possible to move beyond hurt and trauma. Sandtray offers a safe and protected space that allows us to embrace the sacredness of our Spirit. It is about the self- expression of hurts/trauma/experiences that sometimes defy words and that sadly we often believe define who we are in the present. Yet we are not defined by these experiences. As Dr. De Domenico explains, Sandtray transcends time and space to helps us realize, affirm/reaffirm and uncover/discover our true Self. Sandtray is rooted in rich symbolism and universal archetypes. A Sandtray session invites you to look upon an extensive array of images, and to choose the image(s) (such a figurines, rocks, shells, and other gifts from Mother Earth) that you feel drawn too. You are then invited to place the chosen images into the tray and your journey begins! Stories/experiences come to life through the images and the sand. You are never alone in this process; I am there to listen, hold the space and join you as you invite me to journey through the world you have created. Sandtray therapy allows us to tap into all levels of consciousness/unconsciousness so that a reworking/ reordering can take place; as a practitioner, I consider it to be a truly transformative approach. This shift in energy is driven by the psyche. Like Dr. De Domenico, I trust in the psyche’s innate propensity to heal itself; the psyche will only show us what we need to look at

be unmanageable. In this way, Sandtray is also safe for working with children with significant issues. The tray and sand (Mother Earth) hold the child’s experience, and in doing so also symbolically hold the child. The therapist is part of this symbolic union. All is to be welcomed, experienced, nurtured, released, resolved and/or integrated. To learn more learn more or to make an appointment visit: www.openingsacredspirit.com. For the months of June and July, enjoy a special rate of $50 for your first session.

Melancholy Memory, Brilliant Novel - Part 1

The Happy Dance of Life! Martha Randall

Ian Prattis

melancholy memory turns out to be the catalyst for an almost forgotten yet brilliant Xlibris novel.

Pine Gate Mindfulness Community Nucleus of Friends for Peace Canada Teachings every Thursday 7.00pm - 9.00pm Pine Gate Meditation Hall 1252 Rideout Cr, Ottawa, ON K2C 2X7 Contacts: iprattis@bell.net carolyn.hill@bell.net • 613 726 0881 http://www.ianprattis.com/PineGate/ My book “Redemption” – was a “lost” manuscript. A novel I first wrote in 1975. It was soon forgotten, as back then I did not know how to get published. The manuscript was rediscovered by accident just a few years ago. I could scarcely believe it was such a good read and actually wondered for a moment “who wrote it?” I requested my wife and a couple of friends with critical eyes to read it just in case I was dreaming. My friends convinced me that this story had to come to life. It required attention to spelling, typos and small additions from my writer’s eye some forty years later, yet still stands pristine as when first written. The story is an allegory for the life difficulties I experienced at that time. I was a total mess in 1975 - with a failing marriage in the Hebrides, Scotland, and trying to keep my career intact as a young professor at Carleton University in Canada. I was not doing a good job with either. This brings me to a bigger reality. 15 million adults in North America suffer from some form of depression, enhanced through alcoholism and other mental afflictions. I believe that the power of inner strength can help such wounded individuals overcome their worldly crutches. It took me a while to come to these realizations and the avenue was through this book. The themes of mental illness and alcoholism are writ large in this deep and turbulent Hero’s Journey to emancipation. This novel is set in The Hebrides, with startling cycles of maturing and downfall of the main character - Callum Mor a gifted child, master mariner, derelict drunk, who eventually gains wisdom from a hard life’s journey. He enters the dark zone of alcoholism and withdraws from society with only his animals keeping him this side of sanity.

or millennia human beings have combined music and movement to ritualize life on this planet – for celebration, preparation, courtship, grieving, prayer, community building and just plain old fun. And dance is currently on a huge wave of popularity. From television viewing like SYTYCD and Dancing with the Stars to Flashmobs on city streets or on subways, dance is providing an emotional happiness explosion across the planet. Other exciting discoveries in the field of cognitive neuroscience point to other benefits as well. “Dance is probably the single most complex form of movement that humans engage in… Dance is being used increasingly as a therapeutic intervention for movement and coordination disorders, including Parkinson’s disease and developmental delays. In addition, dance movement therapy is used as a psychotherapeutic treatment for a host of cognitive and emotional disorders, including autism, post-traumatic stress syndrome, and eating disorders. Moreover, social dancing is used as a quality-of-life activity for people suffering from syndromes like Alzheimer’s disease to improve sociality and reduce loneliness.” And, by dancing with one another, there are “… social and emotional attunement processes that accompany such physical coordination, including feelings of bonding, empathy, cooperation, social identity and sensual/sexual expressiveness.” So now, for people of all ages, dancing becomes one of those things that we ‘must’ do to engage and cultivate body/mind/emotion health and vitality. Maybe dancing is the next kale! Here’s a program offered in Ottawa that may be the perfect combination of ingredients to get you onto the dance floor: Nia is a cardio-dance workout that combines 52 simple moves from dance arts, martial arts, and healing arts. It is a low-impact, barefoot workout adaptable to all fitness abilities. The music is an integral part of the class, drawing on a full range of styles and moods to enhance artistry, emotional quality and whole body engagement. Each workout brings mindfulness to a dance/movement experience leaving students energized, mentally clear, and emotionally balanced. The classes highlight five movement sensations: Flexibility, Mobility, Strength, Agility and Stability. Nia develops cardiovascular conditioning, increases physical dexterity and muscle tone as well as improving range of motion in all joints. Choreography is learned in three stages: Learn, Move and Energize. Movement variety, self-expression and

personal conditioning at one’s own level are all encouraged during the workout. Elements of community interaction, improvisation and vocalizing are regularly introduced to build a sense of empowerment and group dynamics. The nice thing about any dancing that we engage in is that there is usually a wonderful spillover into our day to day lives. Stress melts away, a feeling of joy bubbles up and we can more easily feel and celebrate the happy dance of life.

L The {LEVEL 1} Certification Workshop + Urban Retreat is being held at PranaShanti Yoga Centre June 19-21 which also happens to be Summer Solstice!!!! The most divine timing for releasing stuff that no longer serves, tapping into your intuition, and manifesting your truest desires...to create, to design a life that feels really good. There is a great description of the workshop + retreat at katedurie.com/workshops I also host an {INTRO} Workshop - 3 hours - to give people a taste for the material, as well as to make it accessible to all budgets and schedules. The next 2 are May 23 at PranaShanti, and May 30 at Pure Yoga. This is truly where goals meet soul. Where we turn our old belief systems about goal setting and success upside down and inside out. We get super clear on how we want to feel in each aspect of our life, then learn how to generate those feelings through our thoughts, words, experiences, and actions. MEDITATION to get clear. Tap into our intuition. Trust. Faith. Inner Knowing. DESIRE MAPPING, Lecture, Discussion, Journaling, h’ART, Activities to declare our Core Desired Feelings. YOGA to embody it all, mind, body, spirit and soul.

ast week I was attending a breakfast meeting and the speaker had us do an exercise to identify our true values. I like doing these once in a while because it lets me measure if my values have changed over time. As time goes by, you will notice that yes, your values do change over time. This is quite normal because as you go through life, people, events, circumstances will change your vision of the world around you. The most important question that you need to ask yourself once you have identified your true values is “Am I living my life according to my stated values?” I would argue that there are a great number of people who are not living in alignment with their values. I see this all of the time in my professional practice! There is a “disconnect” between their values and how they are living their lives. This lack of congruency is causing them grief, stress and a general sense of unhappiness. Getting oneself back into alignment is a challenging endeavour but once you do, life begins to flow much better. I have many of my clients do The Congruency Test to identify the possible lack of alignment in their lives. It is a simple yet powerful exercise that sheds a great deal of insight into the things that are important to you. Having clarity of your core values is a great way to help you identify what is truly important in your life and it drives you to really go after what you want out of life. If you would like to do The Congruency Test, please email me and I will gladly send it out to you. Daniel Roy is the principal instructor of the Ottawabased Praxis Wealth Institute. He is a Certified Financial Planner as well as a Certified Retirement Coach and public speaker. He is the author of “The Essential Guide to Retirement Readiness”. He conducts workshops and courses on the subject of wealth management as well as designing meaningful and rewarding retirements. daniel@praxiswealthinstitute.ca www.praxiswealthinstitute.ca www.yourretirementcoach.ca

Intuitive Ability Intuitive Readings Intuitive Development Classes W Psychic Readings e all have natural intuitive abilities and have many opportunities in our day to practice until using our abilities becomes a natural comfort within us, rather than think it is something that belongs to a the occult or a few gifted individuals. Intuitive guidance is something that resides naturally in us. All this ability takes is keeping yourself in a natural calm alpha state, and a belief in yourself. Everyone has many chances in their day to practice. The purpose of practice is to build your confidence so you can move onto asking questions that are productive for your life. It is important to practice and to learn how intuitive information comes to you as this is a very individual experience and not at all the same for everyone. The practice of keeping your mind clear and calm will cause you to become more intuitive. Meditation is the best way to naturally move into calmness as a way of life. Simply sit in a comfortable place and began to breath deeply in and out. As thoughts arise take a deep breath and keep your focus on your breath and this will move your mind away from thoughts. Keep bringing your focus back to your breath. Meditation is that simple. Do that 2 times per day. Look for opportunities to practice and build confidence in your own intuition. You can practice by asking what is in my mail? How many pieces of mail? Are they bills or junk? What colours, what images? The secret is to notice the first thing that pops in your head, no matter how random that may be, all is a clue. What is the first thing that happens when you ask, what was your eye drawn to? What happens around you, or what did you notice, follow those, they are clues. Try this with your phone calls, who is it, what do they want? Journal all this and how the answers come to you. You will soon see with practice that you do have the ability to do this. Before you are about to meet someone, what are they wearing, what earrings do they have on etc? You see there are many opportunities all around you to simple have fun with this and practice. You will be

Love & Compassion to Change the World

By Patty Chevalier Samm hen I went to see Marianne Williamson speak in Ottawa, her message of love and compassion was loud and clear. The only way to change our world is by exuding love with conviction. We must want it, feel it, and live it in all our being. We must find love and compassion for ourselves and once we truly embrace it, we can deliver it to the outside world. This, in turn, will change our world-at-large into one of acceptance and compassion for all humanity and earthly beings. How is this possible when we live in a world of hate, pain and suffering? How can we find that love within us when we ourselves are suffering? We all want love and most of us have felt it at some point in our lives but how do we find it and keep it in our lives always? We must face our past traumas, our fears and our darkness and release the hold they have on us. We must find the light that we truly are and forgive ourselves and those that hurt us. We must discover why we attract and accept pain and difficulty in our lives and how it may be serving us. By delving into our deepest beliefs and thoughts, we can identify that which is within us that is keeping us from the love and joy that we deserve. These beliefs and thoughts may have protected us at one point in our lives but, at present, they are holding us back from our true potential and desires. We can, and must, change these deep beliefs and thoughts into ones that do support us so that we can embrace the peace and love that is within our bodies and souls. This will attract the love, compassion, beauty and joy that naturally surrounds us and our world will have no choice but to change along with us.

Patty Chevalier Samm is a Certified Natural Health Practitioner, Medical Intuitive, ThetaHealing Instructor and Reiki Master. Patty will help you to identify the emotions, beliefs and thoughts related to any physical issue so that you can release them and move forward in life.

The Joys of Fibonacci Sound Healing!

e are all beings of vibration…of sound…and therefore healing with sound, to bring us back into alignment with our own true ‘song’, makes so much sense to me! At our healing space, the Violet Flame Room at Green Spirit in Manotick, I am offering sessions of sound healing with the Fibonacci and Solfeggio sequences of tuning forks. These really are both remarkable…in quite different ways… and incredibly powerful for helping you to shift your consciousness and heal. This month, I’m going to chat about the Fibonacci forks – the Solfeggio will follow in the next issue! The Fibonacci forks are based on the Fibonacci sequence of numbers, which is a precise mathematical pattern that has been shown to reveals itself in various ways throughout all of nature. In this sequence, each succeeding number is the sum of the two preceding numbers…1,2,3,5,8,13,21,34,55,89,144,233, ad infinitum. This numbering pattern reveals itself in various ways throughout all of nature, and is the numbering sequence of Creation. For example, a shape with which we are all familiar – a spiral, such as is commonly seen in shells. As it gets larger, it retains its identical form…and its proportion. The proportion is the Golden (or Fibonacci) Spiral. Fibonacci Tuners have resonant frequency intervals that are the same intervals as found in the Fibonacci mathematical sequence. Working with the higher chakras, pineal, pituitary and third eye, this set leads you on a journey of understanding yourself and the Universe. Visualize the eight frequencies of this set as a seashell, where, as you follow the edge of the shell, you get closer and closer to the center.

613 228 9235 36 Simcoe St.

Similarly, as you work with the Fibonacci forks, your consciousness is drawn inward, through the different levels of awareness, towards your center, along the way experiencing All There Is. In opening up your consciousness, it is possible to then find creative solutions to challenges of all kinds. These tuners are part of a continuum of sound that spirals in and out of different realities. When we listen to them, like children going inside a seashell, we naturally seek out alternate realities within the sound. Each one is a location within a spiral revolving around a central vortex of stillness, which connects with the Universal Energy Field. In many instances it may be more effective to work in an alternate reality to effect healing than in normal reality, such as in cases of trauma and addiction - where people affected by these often disassociate into alternate realities. The Fibonacci Tuners create a bridge between these realities, which can then promote a healing response. Working with the spiral can also balance, align and blend all the chakras, meridians and all other subtle energy pathways. On a physical level, creating spiral energy can regulate all the nervous systems of the body, creating balance and harmony. When functioning optimally, our nervous systems create a healthy body automatically. Each 45-minute session is just $35! If you are interested in experiencing this, please email me at Kay@ green-spirit.ca or call the shop on 613 692 5151. You might also like to check out our retail space! We have a cosy, high vibration spiritual store, offering some great products, including crystals, healing jewelry, oracle and tarot cards, incense, smudging supplies, aromatherapy…and much more! Hope to see you there!

As Free As A Bird In A Cage By Rupa Manjari Devi Das

hat is reality? What is illusion? Even very knowledgeable people can be bewildered. For example, a lot of people think that life is about having a good job, enjoying the vacation and then a good pension. This is all of the human life. We forget one important aspect: we are not a machine we are a human being, a human being that has a soul. And the soul like the bird needs freedom. Thus, instead of containing our Self like a bird in a cage, we need to find a way to set our Self free. A bird in a cage might have a nice comfortable life, doesn’t have to worry about food, water, doesn’t have to worry about the weather, but this “nice” life is exchanged for freedom. A bird that can not fly is not a bird anymore. If the bird doesn’t want to come out of the cage but just wants to “enjoy” the so called comfortable life, then we say the bird is in illusion. Unfortunately, most of the time, after a while, the bird doesn’t want to go out anymore because it is caught by the “nice” comfortable life. It becomes afraid of the life outside the cage. The bird forgets that it has wings, it can fly; it can fly freely in the blue sky. The bird thinks “happiness” is staying in the cage as a normal life, and is more import than having the freedom and facing reality.

Similarly, people whose consciousness is not awake prefer to be stuck in the material body and “enjoy” all the sense pleasure provided by the material body. When someone tries to wake up this person, he/she will be agitated: “I have such a good life, why should I wake up? Why do I have to experience uncertainty? ” That’s the power of illusion. We forget who we are. We regard the well decorated cage as paradise. We refuse or are afraid to come out. We like to accept the beautiful illusion but not the variable reality. We make believe like a child that the illusion is reality. To read more articles from Rupa, please visit www.wishingtreeyoga.ca

nakite is considered one of the supreme stones of the heart. Its energetic signature is one of Unity, Harmony, Co-operation and Peaceful Co-Existence. This makes it a perfect stone to hail in, and work effectively with, the energies of spring and the Chinese Astrological Year of the Wooden Sheep. Unakite is a beautiful combination of Pink Jasper and Green Epidot – two stones that have decided to grow together to achieve more in partnership than they could as individuals. As the name suggests, Unakite encourages humanity to unite in shared purpose and common goals for benefit of All. The year of the Wooden Sheep is an opportune time for partnership – for teaming up with others - for pooling our resources, creativity, passion, talent, skill and vision. Now is the time to share who you are and what you do with your community and beyond - perhaps even the entire world. You may find yourself attracting new and helpful people, resources and circumstances. You may be called to expand your work, your education and your sphere of influence. Collaboration is key to any action you take. We are stronger together than we are alone. Ask yourself, who do you need to work with to make the world a better place? It’s time to trust your decisions and abilities so that you can enter into partnership with other people. Who needs to be part of your team? Whose team can you become part of? As in ancient times, community creates can create a better future for All. If you’re not sure where to begin, the Year of the Wooden Sheep also supports cleansing on all levels – perfect timing for spring-cleaning. You could begin a physical detox regime for your body. You could also utilize this influence to clean and de-clutter your living space. The current energies also support mental and emotional purification. Unakite can help with this too. It can assist the release of deeply held negative emotions in a slow and gentle way. Once the emotions are liberated Unakite begins the task of slowly but surely eliminating negative thought patterns and beliefs, freeing us of the behavioral patterns generated by them. It’s the perfect partner for cleansing at emotional and mental levels.

Now is definitely an ‘out with the old and in with the new’ time to be alive. With a little help from Unakite, you can let go of the person you think you are, and open the way for a new, freer and more empowered you to emerge. It’s a time to be flexible, to entertain all points of view, and to be tolerant and forgiving. We can learn to bend with the wind and to welcome surprise. It’s a time for new directions and new people. Unakite’s message of unity encourages constant gentleness and nurturing of oneself and others. It promotes kindness, understanding and living together in harmony. Unakite and the Year of the Wooden Sheep supports any effort that brings benefit to the entire community. All things are possible when our focus is on co-creating a future that is good for all life. In fact my sense is that everything we do from this time onward must be good for everyone and everything. Unakite can help us evolve our focus from ‘me’ to ‘we’. It’s a great time for recognizing our similarities, for finding acceptance for others and for closing gaps of understanding that keep us separate from each other. Unakite is also a stone of vision and expansion. Let it help you to make those changes you know you need to make. Take advantage of that extra energetic help available to you now with the influence of spring and the Year of the Wooden Sheep to begin something new that changes your life. It’s a potent time for taking action and achieving goals. As long as what you are doing has value for people, it has the potential for great success. First, cleanse yourself and your environment to bring you the clarity you need to move forward on your path. Next, voice your dreams and act on them. Consistent with its energy of new life and new beginnings, Unakite assists healthy pregnancies and recovery from serious illnesses. It can also help people bounce back from loss, misfortune and disappointment. It is also a wonderful stone for anyone who feels uncertain about the future or feels overwhelmed by their present circumstances. Try placing a few Unakite stones together in a bowl in your living space. It can bring harmony to your inner terrain and inspire peace and co-operation in your relationships. Once you’ve mastered peaceful coexistence within yourself and with the folks who are currently in your life, new opportunities to collaborate with others will begin to take shape.

Time to Come Together with Unakite

O NE Channelled by Lisa Virtue

Note: Each line was spoken by a different voice. Dear Ones, we come into your lives so that you may know joy, peace and serenity. Now. In this expression of who you are. We come to join you in harmony, peace, loving friendship. We are part of you and you of us. We sing together, this joyous life. Let us be part of your friendship. Bring us in to your life more fully now. Let the resistance ease, and flow this new peace, stillness, calm resoluteness to flow. Know the support lies within you, as we do, are. We are whole, you and us/we. Eternally one. So this means... we are grateful... eternal... at home... forever with you, a part of you. And you us. Let that peaceful notion wash over you. Unakite can help us to remember, that we are all brothers and sisters – woven together in a beautiful tapestry of pink-green heart energy. It’s time to come together again. One breath, one heartbeat – it’s more than just a legend… Unakite blessings to All, Karen

Allow yourself to steep. Know that as one with all... nothing evades you. All has purpose. All is known on some level. Deep respect lies within our (and your) hearts for all that is. For experience. Knowing. Trusting. Believing, having faith that all is as it shall be. We are one, so know that love is what exists. Love is the driving force of creation. Nothing matters in essence but love. Use this to guide you, your thoughts, ways, being. Know that your light within you beats fast and furious for all mankind, all creation. It is the light, the spark of all. This segmented message is delivered, each part, by a conscious aspect of awareness. Within you. For you. By you. Of you. Whole or in part, take the words you wish and leave them where your soul can dwell on them fully. We are one, and we wish to know you more fully in conscious appreciation of the aspect of all that you create in your separate state of chosen awareness, here. Dearest ones. We are. Know that you too can be, access and know more fully your conscious connection of greater awareness. Peace lies within you, always. Know you are Love. Signed, The many aspects of experience that is you.

Ottawa Veg Fest Is Back With A Delicious Vengeance

et your appetite ready because the capital’s favourite plant munching extravaganza is returning after taking a year off. The event, Ottawa Veg Fest, is now in its sixth year, and poised to be bigger than ever when it re-launches on June 6-7, 2015. Ottawa Veg Fest features local and international speakers, cooking demonstrations and marketplace with up to 100 exhibitors that offer products and services in support of a healthy lifestyle. Veg Fest will be indoors at the RA Centre. Ample food will be available for sample and purchase, from sweet treats to gourmet vegan cheese. Admission is by donation; the last event raised more than $5,000 for worthy causes. “Awareness of the importance of adopting a healthy lifestyle has really increased in the past few years, and Ottawa is no exception. A plant-based diet is a great way to do this. Even those who are not vegan – or who may be curious or like good food – can enjoy Veg Fest,” says Michael Calvert, Ottawa Veg Fest’s chief organizer.

Veg Fest co-founder Pamela Tourigny says people are increasingly receptive to trying vegan food, and learning about the ethical, environmental and health benefits of a vegan lifestyle. “Veg Fest has always been about helping people to explore these alternatives and break down negative perceptions about plant-based living. It has never been easier to access delicious plantbased food in Ottawa, which indicates that people are demanding and supporting these options,” she says. Speakers include best-selling vegan cookbook author Dreena Burton, PlantKind’s Kyle den Bak, a local vegan personal trainer and sub-three hour marathoner, Steve Jenkins – father of “Esther the Wonder Pig,” Kristin Lajeunesse, author of the book “Will Travel for Vegan Food,” and sustainability expert Judi-Varga Toth. Registered Dietitian Susan Macfarlane will lead a 31Day Vegan Challenge; register at Veg Fest! Previous Ottawa Veg Fests have attracted as many as 5,000 visitors. Ottawa Veg Fest was founded in 2009 by volunteers of the National Capital Vegetarian Association, a non-profit organization. Don’t miss this popular local foodie festival!
