Spiritual Sustainability Our Most Precious Resource By: Bermalva Porter

he theme we chose for Bhakti in the Woods 2018 is “sustainability". We had new technologies, renewable energy, holistic food systems and all things eco-friendly in mind. As one on the spiritual path may notice, thoughts and ideas coming solely from the mind do not always manifest in an easy way. This is by default, from the limitations of mind. What we didn’t realize, heading into our 6th year, is that “sustainability” would reach far deeper than surface technologies. The spirit of the festival has spoken: our theme has taken a welcome turn towards enhancing inner sustainability as well.

This is spiritual sustainability. Without input from the mind, we unite the inner and outer, in many reassuring forms, within the context of a weekend yoga festival.

Bhakti in the Woods takes place on the property of Santainaii Retreat Centre in Ladysmith, Quebec.

Located in the lush rolling hills of Pontiac county, this natural locale imparts an instantaneous relaxation and healing response. This can be explained by the many ceremonies performed there and high energy points on the land. During the festival, you can take part in ceremony and explore these places via the walking trails in the surrounding forests. Stay the weekend and camp outdoors or bring your RV.

As a small grassroots festival, the number of participants is capped at 300 to ensure quality and management of natural resources. For this reason it is best to buy tickets online before the festival to reserve your place. Day passes and full weekend passes are available. Children 12 and under are free and special family ticket packages. As a sustainable festival, our facilities consist of composting toilets. Toilet users are encouraged (and given clear instructions) on how to help out with their ‘humanure’, offering a new lesson in recycling by taking direct responsibility for the waste created. Regular recycling and composting is available too, with the compost used later in permaculture gardens throughout the land. It is encouraged to bring any burnable waste to the evening bonfires. At last year's festival, we only generated 6 bags of garbage!

Way to go!

At Bhakti in the Woods, discover the depths of spiritual sustainability. Included in your ticket are all day yoga classes, workshops, kirtan and music concerts. This year's musical lineup features local and international talents such as Brenda McMorrow, Mahapurna, Eric Mandala and Zu Zen, The Bhakti Connection and many more (see website for details). As part of our sustainability theme, author Robbie Anderman (The Healing Trees) and spiritual teacher Berdhanya Swami Tierra are speaking this year. Children’s activities and classes are a central part of our programming. The whole family will love Friday and Saturday night sing

How to Feel Gratitude in Difficult Times

T

imes of trouble can make it more difficult for you to find gratitude in your heart. They can make you turn to anger or resentment. However, you can still show gratitude despite challenging issues in your life.

If difficult times are affecting your ability to see gratitude, consider these ideas: yy Search for the positive. You may be going through a stressful or difficult period in your life, but it doesn’t have to stop you from seeing positive things.

∗∗ What are the positive areas in your life that

aren’t being affected by your current challenges? Do you still have your home and health? Do you still have a job that provides for your family?

yy Cherish the small details. It’s easy to lose sight of the small details if you’re overwhelmed by a difficult situation at home or at work. However, if you learn to treasure the details, you’ll welcome gratitude back into your life.

yy Search for joy. It’s important to add joy to your daily schedule. Watch a comedy, read a comic book, or share jokes with friends. Add laughter to your routine. yy Embrace the power of change. Change is a necessary part of existence, but when you’re struggling, you might feel as if your life will never improve.

∗∗ Remind

yourself that changes occur all the time, and change can lead to gratitude.

Your ability to find gratitude doesn’t have to be limited during challenges. Search for the positive areas in your life, even as you struggle in other areas. Remember that you’re not alone and that everything changes.

Soon, you’ll find yourself feeling the gratitude that you seem to have lost.

PH D. EASTERN PHILOSOPHY, NGH CERTIFIED HYPNOTIST, COACH, TEACHER

Interview with Lynne Cardinal: Part 3

by Stefania Allevato

F

or over 30 years Lynne Cardinal has been offering stress management, resilience and burnout prevention workshops in the government and private sector. She is a consulting hypnotist with the National Guild of Hypnotists, holding additional certifications in hypnosis innovative techniques and weight loss. She is certified in Collective and Individual Trauma Work and Communication by Thomas Hübl.

Recently, Lynne chatted with local writer and editor, Stefania Allevato, regarding the benefits of hypnosis and meditation. Below is part 3 of the interview. ... continued: Q. To end this inspiring conversation I have a few more questions for you. Lynne, what do you call yourself?

Your field is vast and seems to include many modalities. Who is Lynne Cardinal and what brought you to offer this service?

A. I call myself a coach and a mentor, using various modalities that I find effective and proven to help (e.g., hypnosis and other efficient and gentle techniques). I also offer relationship guidance and coaching to help my clients move forward. I’m also a group facilitator and I present at conferences in the government and private sector on balancing your life through stress management. As far as who I am, I can remember I was always curious about life, finding the very existence to be embedded in mystery. I couldn’t take anything for granted, the very pulsation of life felt like a miracle. On the other side, the injustices, the pain, some so great that it broke my heart, it made me wonder about the causes and the possible solutions. I also wondered about the passage of time and the inscrutability of death. I sensed that there were unending possibilities in our very con-

sciousness. Since a very young age I began enquiring and I ended up living 15 years in India, learning eastern philosophy, then teaching in the Himalayas. During that time I learned a lot about core philosophies and about myself as it goes hand in hand. There was some good and some serious issues in the institution where I worked and studied so I left in 1998 and continued on in my journey. Nearly paradoxically I also worked in marketing as a director of sales for the eastern region of Canada (in my heart I aimed at an integral awareness). I saw all areas of life as a ground for growth and used it as an opportunity to stretch beyond my own boundaries. I have since taken numerous training opportunities. Intrigued by hypnosis I quickly saw that I could make this great modality mine, understanding it’s principles and seeing how remarkably efficient hypnosis is, especially combined with all other modalities I had learned. Recently, I extensively trained with Thomas Hubl in individual and collective trauma, Dr. Brian Weiss in regression therapy, Diana Martinez in Family Constellation and Healing work, and so many more.

People call me when they feel that it would be helpful to be guided, to travel with me for some time on this life journey of theirs. With respect I guide them in the direction of their choice.

Q. Where are your offices?

A. I have two offices located in Hull (Le Portage area) and one in Stittsville. I see clients during the weekdays and Saturdays in Hull and during the weekdays and evenings in Stittsville, according to availability. Interestingly, I see more and more clients via Zoom or Skype and that is a perfectly adequate option. Internet tools enable me to have clients in the US, and abroad, but also across Canada.

Sessions with Lynne happen on Skype, Zoom, phone or in person in Stittsville, Ontario or Hull, Quebec. To learn more about Lynne please check out kaivalya.ca, or by email: info@kaivalya.ca or call 613.836.2355.

Your Inner Compass That Could An Empowering Children’s Book

by Kristin Pierce hen I became a mother, I was very interested in finding Children’s Books with strong and empowering learning messages. I wanted to teach my children just how much wisdom, power, and potential resides within them. In my search, found a few good books, but it required some real digging. Through this discovery, I realized that I had a message I could share to empower other parents and their children.

After a cosmic hammer experience with cancer at the age of 21, I began to realize there was a big piece I had been missing and ignoring within myself. Embarking down a new road of consciousnessbased healthcare (ahem, BodyTalk), through an inward journey of deep introspection and inner evolution, I realized a profound message that needed to be shared.

I began teaching MindScape in 2015, which led me to realize the untapped potential of the mind within each of us. In having my own children and working with child clients, I realized the importance of nurturing these intuitive gifts. Children are imaginative, intuitive, magical little beings that need to be encouraged to trust their knowing and their inner gifts. As adults, we have to work hard to uncover our natural childhood gifts of intuition, curiosity, and imagination, which have been covered up by loads of beliefs that limit all kinds of wonderful possibilities. We believe “our minds can’t operate that way,” or “that’s not how the world works!”

“BUT,” I thought to myself, “what if these gifts were better understood by parents so they could be taught, encouraged, and nurtured in children during their childhood?” Just imagine that for a moment…

This book is recommended for children aged 4-10, although there are many takeaways for people of all ages. It is complete with Integration Questions for Reflection and Discussion at the back of the book, along with a FREE Online Parent & Teacher Resource to help Parents, Children, Teachers, and Students welcome and understand the messages from their own Inner Compass.

Your Inner Compass That Could is now available for purchase from Singing Pebble Books in Ottawa and Olde Crow Creek in Pakenham. Stay tuned for availability coming soon to Chapters locations in the Ottawa area. The book is also available for purchase on many online retailers such as Amazon, Chapters Indigo, and Barnes & Noble. Visit www.

Kristin Pierce is a consciousness and self-awareness educator who specializes in belief system resolution to unleash the incredible potential within. She owns and operates Inner Compass Academy and Inner Compass Books, based in Warman, Saskatchewan, Canada where she is inspired to share her empowering message of connecting with one’s Inner Compass to allow it to lead you to your True North in all aspects of life. Kristin is a MindScape Instructor, an Advanced Certified BodyTalk Practitioner, a BodyTalk Access Instructor, and a Registered Massage Therapist. She holds a Bachelor of Science in Sport Medicine from Mercyhurst College in Erie, Pennsylvania. Visit www.InnerCompassAcademy.com or www.InnerCompassBooks.com to learn more.

Introducing… Your Inner Compass That Could Inspiring, whimsical, and brightly illustrated, Your Inner Compass That Could is a wise, empowering tale that provides a fresh perspective on navigating the magical journey of life. Rhyming verse encourage readers of all ages to connect within to let your inner wisdom lead the way to true fulfillment, while imparting messages of self-empowerment, self-growth, and self confidence.

It is a book is for anyone who has ever had a gut feeling, a strong knowing, or felt a spark of passion deep inside. It is a story that will inspire and encourage you to welcome the profound wisdom from your Inner Compass into your life. It is never too early for children, or too late for adults to realize that they are truly magnificent beings with unlimited potential and are equipped with an unique internal compass to help guide their way!

Is Yoga from India?

By Ivy Xie-McIsaac s Yoga from India? The answer seems obvious. In the yogic culture, Śiva is known as the original Yogi. Śiva lives on Mount Kailās in the Himālaya and mount Kailās is in Tibet! When we see devout Tibetans walking and prostrating all the way from their hometown to their pilgrimage destination, we are not so proud of the accomplishment of 108 times of Sun Salutation.

I am in gratitude to my first Yoga teacher Master Run-Hua Tan (Sri Teri Tan), who had over 70 years experience with Hatha Yoga. Master Tan gave me a grounded understanding of Yoga: Yoga originated in the Himālaya area, not from a single country. Yoga is more than stretch and strength; it’s a way of living. Yoga will help to connect with the power inside. Through inclass and daily life practice, Yoga gives balance to body, mind and spirit.

Travelling to Tibet twice, including once to the Base Camp of Mount Everest was absolutely a life-changing experience for me. Tibetan people simply live spiritually and appeal to people who are seeking the essence of spirituality.

Question: How can we feel our own worth and not be bothered about other people’s opinions of us? hen you realise God, He will not ask you, “What did he think of you?” or “What did she think of you?” God will immediately ask you, “What did you think of yourself?” or “What did you think of Me?” God will not ask you what others thought of you. As soon as you stand in front of God, He is not going to give you a pass-mark according to others’ opinions of you. He is not going to look to see whether others appreciated or admired you. No, He is the boss; He doesn’t need others’ recommendations.

You are to God what you actually are: what you think of yourself and what you think of God in yourself. Your assessment is your own value. God doesn’t want us to waste a single minute worrying about what others think of us. Your life is God’s Life. God’s Life and your life are inseparable and God doesn’t need the opinion of the world to assess what you are doing. If you are praying and meditating, you are an excellent seeker.

Your action is your certificate; your action is everything in God’s Eye. You have to feel that you need God and that you have God. You are not aware of the fact that the thing that you want and need in order to discover your worth is already there. God is already there, but you don’t see Him. You are an instrument of God; His Capacity, His Vision, His Reality are there and He wants to manifest through you.

But how can you be conscious of it? You can become conscious through your dedicated, soulful aspiration and service. If you pray and meditate you will become aware of God’s presence in your life, and you will see that you are really worthy of God’s Love. Because of your prayer and meditation, God will make you conscious of His activities; and you will see that He is manifesting His Divinity in and through you. When you are conscious of this, who else but you can be worthy

“I Can” Intuitive Readings by

By Daniel Roy CD, BA, MA, CFP, EPC, CIM, FCSI, CIWM, RRC, CRC

I

think that the two words “I Can” are probably the two most powerful words after “I Am”. All along my life journey, I’ve come across situations where I had serious doubts about my abilities to accomplish the task at hand. I’m sure that you have been in the same situation as well.

Doubt is a natural feeling when faced with a new task or situation. This is OK as we humans are naturally programmed with a “fight or flight” response that has served to protect us over time. This is a good thing and if the odds seem stacked against us, then we naturally opt to protect ourselves from harm.

The sad thing is that I’ve seen too many people get consumed by their fears and their doubts which has brought the pursuit of their dreams to a full stop. It does not have to be that way. Shifting your internal dialogue from I Can’t to I Can will be life changing for you and your family. All successful people in the world have had this internal struggle. The difference with them is that they have programmed themselves to have an unshakable belief in their abilities to achieve their goals and dreams.

This new way of thinking must become habitual. You must develop the attitude of positivity and keep telling yourself that Yes, I Can do this! When you get knocked down, pick yourself up and keep going. When you reach milestones, stop and celebrate your accomplishments!

Develop this I Can attitude and start going after your dreams! Dare to Dream!

“Seven Sisters”

by Rosemary Tayler

S

ometimes conferences can be turning points in a person’s life. This was my experience back in November, 2016, when I attended the ACORN (Atlantic Canada Organic Regional Network) conference in Moncton, New Brunswick. I was there on behalf of the Earth Haven Learning Centre to showcase planting calendars and books on organic farming and gardening. Dr. Fred Wiseman, one of the keynote speakers at that gathering, approached our booth and stated, “I’m looking for a publisher for my book on ancient seeds.” Without much thought, I quickly volunteered to help.

Since then, I have collaborated with a team of editors, artists, photographers, book designers and especially Dr. Wiseman to publish the Seven Sisters: Ancient Seeds and Food Systems of the Wabanaki People and the Chesapeake Bay Region.

This book tells the story of a remarkable seed chase that is combined with the reclamation of lost heritage of the Wabanaki people, their history and culture, and the rediscovery of their ancient agricultural technologies.

The Wabanakis still reside in eastern North America in areas now called Vermont, New Hampshire, Quebec, New Brunswick, Nova Scotia and Maine.

Trained as an archaecologist and ecologist, Dr. Wiseman focused most of his career on ancient agricultural practices and food systems of Indigenous people living in Arizona and Mexico before retiring to his hometown of Swanton, Vermont. After discovering that his father’s mother was Indigenous, he went on to research the old traditions, lifestyles and farming practices of his people in Vermont and thereby greatly assisted these tribes to gain State Recognition.

Based on these findings, he persisted in tracking down heirloom seeds that were grown in that region before the settlers arrived, and he went on to discover ancient planting methods were still in use in Vermont and New Hampshire. What he was most astounded about was that these methods were identical to ones used

by Indigenous people in Arizona and Mexico. These findings are the core of his newly released book, Seven Sisters.

This 280-page, full-color book also includes the cultural and calendrical aspects of ancient farming practices in Vermont, New Hampshire and Quebec. Dr. Wiseman makes the case for a shift in cultural identity and perception of the Wabanaki people. Before the settlers arrived, these Indigenous people were skilled agrarians and maintained well-designed, highlyengineered plots where they grew many varieties of corn, beans, squash, pumpkins, sunflowers, artichokes and ground cherry, as well as tobacco, wild rice and wild leeks. Their cultural ceremonies were focused around their agricultural calendar and, while much of those ancestral experiences have been forgotten by many, this book is a vital component to acknowledge and reclaim this lost heritage.

Join us for the Ottawa book launch of the Seven Sisters at Singing Pebble Books, Saturday, June 2, 2018, from 1 to 3 pm.

My Yoga

Written by Rev. Alexis Nicol

W

hen I find myself drawn into the emotion of guilt or So, I was reminded that the theme for this month’s Tone is YOGA. I had hoped that I could subtly get away with another article as I know very little when it comes to Yoga. I thought, what could I possibly be able to contribute on this subject?

After a wee bit of pondering I realized that I have had a few opportunities to experience a couple of different types of Yoga. I have attempted Kundalini, a little Hatha and a few poses but that is about the extent of my Yoga knowledge. Thus far, I just don’t resonate too well with the physical aspect of Yoga. I could be reluctant because I am afraid of “failing” at it or not being anyway near flexible enough and might just keel over in front of everyone and look like a total fool. That’s just part of it - my motivation is also very limited.

If I take a moment and think about it, I might already be doing Yoga, maybe just a little part of it. Isn’t there an aspect of Yoga that focuses on stilling the mind and breathing? If so, then this is my small part of enjoying my Yoga. It seems that meditation and Yoga go hand in hand. Going for walks in serene and nature-filled areas allows my mind to slow down and with every cleansing breath my stress levels decrease as I let go.

Maybe you can do your own form of Yoga – I probably will offend some of the altruistic followers of true Yoga, but it will be a beginning. You will be working towards healing your own mind, body and soul.

Perhaps one day I will heal my intimidation of the physical aspect of Yoga. In the meantime though, I will continue to do it my way by breathing and taking

nature walks during the warm summer months at the lake. If you aren’t into mainstream Yoga you can take some time for yourself in nature, then I am pretty sure you will enjoy a little personal Yoga of your own.

Alexis believes in a Wholistic Metaphysical approach to healing mind, body and soul. She combines natural healing modalities in her practice. www.firstlighthealing.com 613-263-7925

Intelligent Spiritual Embodiment

by Amâeil (Melinda Urban RIHR)

O

ur personal consciousness expansion, and Earth’s, can only transpire as unmanifest energy moves to manifest form – the soul becomes fully merged, anchored, and expressed through the physical body.

The core of the spiritual ascension process is the reunification and re-balancing of natural opposites, the Feminine and Masculine. This is sacred, inner marriage giving birth to sustained Living Light.

This synthesis gradually occurs through organic transmutations as our intelligent energy expands into higher dimensional perceptions, from personality/ego focus (dimensions/chakras 1-3), to the soul (4-6), monad (7-9), and Avatar consciousness (10-12). All dimensions are simultaneously active in spiral energy, and we connect into these through our unfolding experiences.

When we actively participate with our consciousness then density shifts toward a Lighter crystalline matrix energy, our original 12-strand DNA. The Aurora Guardians have been assisting with the elemental re-encryption of the Krystal Star coding in our silicate matrix, transmuting the miasma that we each inherited upon our 3D birth enslaving us in the negative alien agenda. Re-encryption supports clearing of our ego personality/1-3D and helps us more easily receive the higher frequencies, while re-establishing the natural creational balance.

What are you choosing to change?

I specialize in helping you free yourself from stubborn patterns that limit your consciousness.

As the body electromagnetically recalibrates, we can feel many ascension symptoms: anxiety, pressure in the body, or pain. Discernment is essential. Relax, and ask your body what support it needs.

Our thoughts too need to be re-encrypted - they are vibrations of either higher or lower intention. When we our triggered, behave in unhealthy patterns, or have negative self-talk, it’s our choice to change it.

Embodiment is an amazing intelligent process, and still, changing our cellular history can be very challenging. But if we want our freedom we have to accept the invitation to participate. We’re in this together, Divinely supported. Of course, the more we know that, we’re well on our way to energetic balance.

What Is Hypnosis?

Part 2 of 3

By Luke Michael Howard PhD hen it was game day, when there were multiple millions of dollars on the line in sponsorship money, in prize money, and the accolades have been awarded to the very best golf player in the world, when it came to perform, he was no longer working consciously because he’d drilled it over and over again. And if he didn’t get it by that point, then he wasn’t going to get it on that day. Many athletes will say they go into that flow state where they’ve done all the training… then comes time to perform. And they perform and they win their tournament. You can use the same metaphor for an actor or a dancer. They practice and they practice and they practice until they get to the big show night. And if they’re thinking, if they’re inside their heads trying to consciously do all the stuff they practiced, and there’s a disconnect with the audience, you can feel it. There’s a disconnect with their unconscious, if you will, and they don’t perform well.

But they trust their unconscious mind. Because they’ve drilled it so many times, their unconscious mind just takes over like that. And they go into a flow state where they’re not thinking, they’re not doing, they’re simply being. They are the thing that they’ve practiced over and over again in that moment, however long that moment lasts to complete that tournament, to win that prize, or that performance. In that flow state where you’re not a second in the future or a minute in the past - you’re right there and you’re present and you’re performing at the highest level.

W

That’s another form of hypnosis that I like to note.

And most of us have experienced this in some form or fashion. Some of us might be professional athletes, professional dancers, actors, performers. Yet sometimes, you might have just been walking, it’s a beautiful day outside. Then just in that moment, you’re feeling your feet touch the sidewalk, for my North American friends, or the pavement, for my European friends. And you just feel it, you feel every step. And you’re just there in the moment and you’re just so free and your mind is so clear. Another example of mindfulness. Another example of hypnosis and that flow state if you will.

Everyone can be hypnotized. Who wants to be hypnotized? We’re hypnotized multiple times a day. If you’ve ever daydreamed in your life, you’ve been hypnotized.

Have you’ve ever been caught up in reading a book, and then suddenly you look at your watch and what feels like a couple of minutes is really a couple of hours, you are surprised and can’t believe it. Or you’ve been so engulfed in a movie that you look at your watch when the movie’s ended and you’re like, “Oh my, two hours has gone by? It seemed like it was just 10 minutes.” It’s another form of hypnosis actually. Time distortion in hypnosis. We do it all of the time.

Another form of hypnosis is what we call highway hypnosis. Have you ever been driving home from work (you’ve been making the same drive for 10 or so years) when you automatically you get in your car and you drive to your old home thinking that was your home.

You forgot you weren’t doing it consciously and you arrive at your old home and realize “ I don’t live here anymore.” But what happens in that 10, 20, 30-minute journey, you were just driving automatically. You were e

With he's specialist brand of Gastric Band Weight Loss Hypnosis all the way from the UK.

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 Hypnoband 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.

aware on some level that you were driving, yet it was happening involuntarily. It’s another form of hypnosis.

For me, hypnosis is about letting go. Because only three things need to be present for you to be hypnotized, and you’ve been hypnotized involuntarily, passively, each day. Every time you go past that billboard advertising something you don’t need and it gets into your mind over and over again, that’s a form of hypnosis. Or you stay up late and watch those late night infomercials (like I do if I stay at a hotel somewhere), it’s a massive form of hypnosis where at 3 o’clock in the morning, you think, “Well, actually I think it’s a good idea to purchase one of those Ginsu knives that cut through a boot.” Now I’ve never needed to cut through a boot with a knife but at 3 o’clock in the morning, sometimes that just seems like a cool idea.

We’re all being hypnotized multiple times a day.

My job as a hypnotist is to help you to better hypnotize yourself, to help you choose your trances so your trances don’t choose you. Example of this is someone who’s really, really angry all the time, or most the time.

Or someone who’s really very depressed and sad all the time. They’re hypnotized. You’re hypnotized. You think when you’re very, very sad for a long period of time or when you’re very angry, that’s not your normal state.

That’s an altered state. An altered state, by its very definition, is a form of hypnosis. Something else is going on. It’s not who you are. It’s just something that you’re doing in that particular moment. Albeit, you might not be doing it consciously with volition. Hence, it’s a form of hypnosis.

As I’ve said previously, everyone can be hypnotized you’re hypnotized every single day. Any time you’re in a loop of thought, an obsessive-compulsive thought that goes over and over again inside your head, it’s a form of hypnosis. Yet you don’t think you have any control of it. And I’m here to tell you right now you’re right, and then on another level, you’re not right. But we’ll get into that in the control podcast when we eventually do that.

For me, hypnosis is simply about letting go. When I get a lot of people into my office, all my metaphors point back to them letting go, not just mentally but physically.

In hypnosis, you do not need to try to do anything.

You don’t need to try to picture something, try to bring up that feeling, try to hear that. You don’t need to try and do anything. You just simply do it, it’s the new normal. It’s an automatic response. It’s taking one automatic response of whenever John looks at me this way, I get angry. It’s taking that automatic response and changing it into every time John looks at me, I feel neutral or I feel loved. Whatever it may be. It’s about changing the automatic response that you normally have into a new automatic response.

Ancient Healing Art Finds a New Meaning

Indian Head Massage Both Men and Women can equally benefit

By appointment only, Marie Smith, B.A. B.Ed. Certified Practitioner, IHM @ ihmmetime@gmail.com

Relax ~ Rejuvenate ~ Refresh

I

ndian Head Massage (IHM) was developed by Indian women as part of their daily grooming routine and still has relevance and benefits for all of us today.

In many places in India, the scalp is regarded as an extension of the body skin needing specific care and attention. When our scalp is viewed as separate from us, we can forget the importance of paying attention to the head; yes, we all know that amazing feeling of a really good shampoo just before a haircut!

IHM is a simple and effective treatment IHM is a technique that focusses on the head and upper body. Clients are fully clothed when they do the IHM which is initially started by sitting in a chair and finishing by laying on a massage table. By the end of the session, many clients report feeling a deep sense of calmness and balance throughout their body.

Other benefits include releasing tight muscles, easing stiffness, and uplifting the spirit.

We have become so busy in our lives…

Busy lives make us forget to take time for ourselves.

Experiencing IHM opens up space to hang up your worries at the door and enter into a calm, peaceful and comfortable environment.

We all need to slow down, relax and re-connect with ourselves.

Yoga, The Chakras and....Essential Oils!

A

ccording to Eastern Medicine, there are seven major energy centres in the body. These centres can be compared to spinning discs or wheels of energy which are referred to as the Chakras, and each one controls a part of one’s life (physically, emotionally, spiritually). They extend from the crown of the head to the base of the torso and each one is unique.

When these discs are aligned, so is our life. But often, our human-ness tends to lead to one or more being out of sync, either too open or too closed. Energy work can help, as can self-work. Using crystals that correspond with the colours of the chakras can be used in meditation or for bathing, as examples.

The Muladhara, or root chakra, is responsible for our basic needs. Its colour is red and some of the oils you can use if this chakra is blocked are frankincense, patchouli and myrrh. Next comes the

Saint Germain Foundation

orange Svadhisthana chakra, or sacral chakra, relating to the creative and/or sexual energy of ourselves. Oils to stimulate this chakra include neroli, jasmine and bergamot. The Manipura chakra’s colour is yellow and its location is the solar plexus. Its purpose is to connect us with our personal power. Cedarwood, geranium and black pepper would be a great blend for any imbalances.

The heart is governed by the colour green (or pink) and is also known as the Anahata Chakra. Of course, rose oil is an excellent choice for the heart.

Ylang ylang and lavender are also wonderful. The throat, or Vishuddha chakra is all about communication (in fact, it is situated at our throat!). It is a blue corresponding to aquamarine, turquoise or blue lace agate. Good oils for this area are chamomile, peppermint or basil. Next we come to the third eye chakra, our centre of intuition. It is an indigo blue colour characterized in stones like lapis and in oils like sandalwood, immortelle or marjoram. The last of the major chakras is our crown, Sahaswara, and represents our connection to the divine and our spirituality. Its colour is clear or purple and some oils associated with this area are spikenard, vetiver or sandalwood.

Allow yourself to enjoy each area of your chakra system and its accompanying sounds, colours, scents, crystals and even foods! If you need a chakra tune-up, one of our practitioners can help you out! ©2018 Heather Garrod is a Certified Aromatherapist and owner of Planet Botanix at 301 Bank St (Near Somerset), helping you live a healthier life, in whatever ways you need assistance! www.planetbotanix.com 613.567.4444

Are Empathetic People Weird?

Kind of…

I

sn’t it liberating to know this? Now we only need to learn more about how to live as empathetic individuals and how to create psychic filters, boundaries and protection in order to function better outside of and within the status quo. How do you get there? In my weirdness, I have plugged into the Universal Solutions’ box and have learned how to do that. Here is part of my story. See if you can find yourself in it.

What seemed to plague me all my life was trying to figure out why I didn’t fit in. I wasn’t square, nor was I round, nor was I a triangle – I was all of them at the same time! Over the years I learned that I was resilient – I could meet people where they were at, whether they were square, round or a triangle or whatever other shape. I could shape-shift into what was needed at the time except the “status quo”, (what everyone else does in order to conform) shape. I could never fit in it –.

I learned not to make waves while still speaking my truth. I knew that Nature and all It’s creatures were my best teachers and companions. Contemplation was my way of relating to Life. Its way fed me all that I needed because, Heaven knows, being an intuitive, Indigenous, shamanic empathetic person brought social isolation,

rejection and bullying. I didn’t realize that my acute sensitivity was different from others until my late 20’s.

An empathetic person tends to be looking for something but doesn’t quite know what. When you meet the Language of the Soul and hear about Universal Laws something in you awakens. But where to find it?

What are you unknowingly looking for exactly?

You are searching for your fundamental moral education about the Divine Feminine Within. It was removed from your curriculum approximately 5,000 years ago except for the Indigenous Peoples who saw all of Life as Sacred. The traditional teachings hold intuitive training within them. One level of the teachings within the Medicine Wheel, for example, explains that there are four quadrants to living: physical, mental, emotional and spiritual – maintaining balance in all four is key.

The training in understanding the Divine Feminine Within (the Soul) and our empathy belongs to the spiritual quadrant that we have “smuched” into the mental and emotional quadrants, hiding it from view.

This hidden quadrant is the bridge to your spirituality that does not belong to religion but rather to the subtle energy that surrounds you and every one else universally.

Seeking for the Language of the Soul all of my life has made me weird. I didn’t know that to be your authentic self was odd until people started calling me “weird” because my ideas and perceptions didn’t match theirs.

So finally I simply answered: “Thanks! I work at it!”

Then we’d laugh and it made it ok. Laughter made it that I was heard but still kept isolated. I didn’t twig then that I was also a soul healer.

I had a different approach to finding solutions to problems that didn’t seem to have one. I became a resource person because as a full-blown empathetic, intuitive, Indigenous, healer-woman, people who wanted to get unstuck and find a solution that was unexpected but worked, knew they could count on my food for thought. Being a weird empathetic individual is now a true blessing based in true humility.

Come see me this summer while you’re on vacation and I will help you understand empathy and how to protect your subtle energy fields so that you can cope with “overwhelm”. Perhaps a shamanic soul healing will come forth or even a shamanic reflexology treatment. Then you’ll see how being a “weird empath” becomes safe and life becomes a lot more fun! Also/ or if you are blessed with a highly sensitive child, want to understand their sensitivity and develop coping strategies, call or email me.

Take good care.

The Yoga of Life: Practicing Pleasure

By Tracy Montgomery

E

xperiencing pleasure floods our systems with endorphins and hormones that alter our blood chemistry to enhance our brain power, elevate our mood, encourage bonding and connection, and boost our immune system. Pleasure is how humans thrive.

And yet so many of us limit our pleasure. Our genetic predisposition towards concern for safety has been emphasized by a culture that labels pleasure as frivolous, unnecessary or ‘bad’ and teaches us that that to be ‘good’, we must work hard and suppress our desires.

I invite you to remember that you were born a pleasure-seeker. You were born wanting – nourishment, warmth, connection. As an infant you instinctively moved towards that which would help you flourish, and you had no shame in asking for it.

Reclaiming pleasure through mindful practice invites us to flourish. Choosing pleasure can remap the brain for positive bias, integrating a sense of wellness, aliveness and safety in the body, and counteracting the chronic stress epidemic in our culture today.

It starts with deciding that pleasure is important, and then it’s about expanding our awareness through sensory development and mindfulness. As we expand our sense of embodiment – that first person awareness of ourselves from the inside out, we learn to trust our own inner voice. When we know what we want, we can yes to it. When we feel worthy, we can say no to what we don’t want. When we can trust our pleasure, we can be open to new experiences and expand relationships with our lovers, our children, our coworkers, our mothers.

As with any mindfulness practice, as we reclaim pleasure we become more nonjudgmental and develop equanimity. We learn to embrace what’s actually happening in the moment, rather than being focused on what we think should happen. We come to know and love ourselves and to understand our connection to All That Is. Mindful Pleasure Yoga Practice can be as simple as 1-2-3. Set an intention to look for pleasure, use all your senses to fully experience it, and then take a few moments to notice where and how you feel the pleasure in your body, savouring and installing the experience.

Take a few moments to consider what is pleasurable for you and then mindfulness in; really take in the experience, noticing what is happening in the moment, letting go of what you thought it might be, or any need for it to be different. Give yourself permission to take the pleasure life is offering you.

Here are two different Pleasure Yoga Practices you can try: A Cup of Tea Pleasure Yoga: Place your whole attention on the preparation and drinking of cup of your favourite tea. Hear the hum of the kettle as it heats up; anticipate the taste as you choose the flavour; inhale the crisp scent of the tea leaves as you open the container; pay attention to your body as you wait for the kettle to whistle; notice how the water pours into your cup; watch as the tea steeps into the hot water; feel the warmth as you cradle the cup in your hands; taste and savour the first sip; swirl the flavour on your tongue; feel the warm liquid slip down your throat; notice how the last sip compares to the first. As you set your cup down, notice what’s happening in your body.

Be present to all the pleasure to be found in a simple cup of tea.

Mindful Erotic Self-pleasuring Yoga Practice: Raising our erotic energy is a powerful way to access our pleasure. When we shift the focus of our self-touch to pleasure and let go of goals or expectations, we can drop more fully into our bodies, relaxing into pleasure.

Creating a safe and inviting atmosphere, focusing on sensation rather than fantasy, breathing into the core of the body, choosing a new position and touching yourself differently; all simple ways of connecting to yourself in the moment , accessing pleasure and opening to possibility.

Connecting mindfully to the power of our pleasure invites us to feel our aliveness, to feel ourselves as embodied, connected and whole. Pleasure is necessary. ©2018 Tracy Montgomery is a somatic sexuality educator who offers erotic learning to those who want to expand their capacity for pleasure, love and joy, heal sexual dysfunction or the wounds of sexual abuse, and explore the intersection of sex and spirit.

Your Expression Channelled by Lisa Virtue

D

ear Ones, now is a time of infinite transformation.

Your time in this place is limited from the finite perspective, infinite from a Divine one. How you use your allotted time is up to your choices and frequency.

Your purpose remains unchanged: delight all-that-is with the expression of the Infinite through your chosen projected “self.”

You emanate from One consciousness. You are an indivisible part of the whole. How you come to express here, in this time, space and manner, is your gift of creation; your specialized decision to create and inform, to experience and explore in this manner, in this way at this moment. You see, the infinite self knows no bounds, restrictions, or impediments of any kind. You are free and limitless - a beautiful creator. Right now you have chosen to express in this way.

The light within you shines strong and bright, unable to be forever masked. Trust your inner voice and what draws you, as this is the way to flow and follow the most delightful choices for you - for your experience while here. What and how you create while spending time on this Earth matters not in the greater scheme. What you find yourself drawn to experience and therefore express your own light through… that is most important. Be

it yoga, channelling, taxidermy, accounting, business leadership, or immersing in your culture’s traditions and rituals. Finding your light path serves you best.

Serving you best allows all of creation to delight in what is “holiest” to your spirit at this time, in this way.

You see, your delight is the delight of all. Know this.

To serve your divine inner true calling, is to serve the world with the highest of vibrations. Just so happens, all of creation gets in the game to support you along that path as it unfolds.

We love you greatly and cherish all your moments.

Delight is the revealing of the light within… and to itself: the Whole.

Your partner in creation, The Universe within Lisa Virtue is a channel and healer, guided to aid inner lights to shine forth brightly. Lisa would be “delighted” to assist you through any of her various expressions that are calling to you.
