An Urban Oasis On Bank St. South

The service at Café My House is about as friendly and warm as you can imagine. They are very keen to receive suggestions and tailor a meal to the exact needs of the diner. They completely explain every detail about the food that you receive including its contents, health value and preparation. All of their delicious offerings are organic and they buy their ingredients locally whenever possible.

They are open for breakfast, brunch and supper. They also do catering and special orders.

Their menu is extensive and you can go on-line to tantalize yourself.

Try any and all of their raw, vegan shakes, nectars and juices--particularly their Cilantro-Mango and their Green Protein Plus!

g tion

A few of these eateries are vegetarian-friendly and/or veganfriendly in that they serve only a few exceptions to their mostly vegetarianvegan life-style menu. One of these I would like to highly recommend and high-light in this article. It is perhaps Ottawa’s best kept secret--Café My House, at 1729 Bank St. (just north of Alta Vista Drive, on the east side of Bank St.)

few months ago I wrote an article in TONE entitled, “The Urban Vegetarian: A Healthy Food Eatery in Nepean”. I lamented that there is not one single vegetarian restaurant west of Preston St. in the City of Ottawa!!

In this article I listed the downtown Ottawa healthy food eateries. The list included: The Green Door, The Table, The Green Earth, The Green Rebel, The Zen Kitchen, Café My House, Credible Edibles, The Garden Spot, Govinda’s, Peace Garden, PerfectionSatisfaction-Promise, The Pantry Tea Room, The Wild Oat, Bread and Sons Bakery, Umi Café, etc.

I have visited them three or four times and have been absolutely amazed at how many incredibly healthy food and drink creations they are able to serve. They have designed their menu so that a whole family with different eating styles can still enjoy a meal together. One of their stated missions is to make vegan and vegetarian food appealing, tasty and very satisfying to non-vegans and non-vegetarians.

The Manager, Briana Kim, and her gourmet culinary family and their team of servers have an obvious desire to respect the eating style of each diner.

Their organic, vegan desserts are home-made, and come from gourmet heaven--their family kitchen! They usually have two or three sumptuous desserts to choose from. Every time I have been there my friends and I have each ordered one of their incredible desserts. Every single one was delicious, nutritious, and truly “offscale”!

Sharing Household Tasks

By Marlene and Bob Neufeld

O

ne of the common areas of conflict between couples is sharing of household tasks. This issue brings up all of our schemas and unmet childhood needs. We hear comments like “it’s not fair,” or “I have to do everything!” and “my partner doesn’t support me enough.”

When you are arguing about dividing up or sharing household tasks, it is important to look at this from a number of different perspectives.

It is useful to know which of your schemas have been triggered and to acknowledge these to your partner.

You can also get curious about which of your partner’s schemas have been triggered by listening generously.

Once you understand what is really going on, shift your state to one of openness to learning, and wonder. Then, you and your partner are ready to make a clear agreement about dividing up household tasks.

Common schemas that are activated are: EMOTIONAL DEPRIVATION: My needs will never get met; you’ll never support me enough for me to feel truly loved.

DEPENDENCE / INCOMPETENCE: I am incapable; I need you. I can’t function without you.

ENTITLEMENT: I’m entitled to your help. If you really loved me, you’d do more.

SUBJUGATION: You’re the boss. If I don’t do what you want, you will be upset. I feel trapped, so I do what you want….AND, then I resent you. OR, I don’t do what you want, because I am resisting this schema.

SELF-SACRIFICE: Your needs are more important than mine. I resent you not taking care of me.

APPROVAL-SEEKING: I will do anything so you will like me – and then I resent you for it.

UNRELENTING STANDARDS: There is a right and wrong way to do everything; and I know the right way. I judge the way you do household tasks and point out your shortcomings.

PUNITIVENESS: I can’t forgive you and I will punish you.

Once you have truly heard what is being triggered in each other, you are in a position to be allies with your partner.

Then you can follow the steps to making agreements. An agreement is anything you have said you would do, or anything you have said you would not do.

1. Make clear agreements. Keep tossing your agreement back and forth until it feels right to both of you. Don’t assume you have an agreement until you can both verbalize it.

2. Make agreements only about things that you have control over.

3. Speak freely about any facts or feelings that are relevant, as you are formulating your agreement 4. Write your agreements down. Use the following format to formulate your agreement: • We agree that ______________________________

(who will do what by when).

• We agree to mutually make any change in the agreement by direct communication.

• If failure occurs, we agree to review the reasons and identify our learning edge, doing our best to take 100 percent responsibility and avoid blame. (See “How to Handle Broken Agreements”).

5. Keep agreements you have made, no matter how seemingly insignificant they are. Often we operate as though breaking an agreement while having a good intention to keep it is the same thing as keeping an agreement. Or that having a good excuse why we didn’t keep the agreement is the same as keeping an agreement.

Breaking agreements, making excuses, or ignoring them is an energy drain. Keeping or consciously changing agreements saves time, frees up creativity energy, and allows us to be in healthy integrity with ourselves.

6. Change agreements as soon as you realize they are not working. The only way to change an agreement is to communicate about it. Tell the other person directly what part isn’t working and what you are willing to agree to instead. Go back to step 5 and share any relevant facts and feelings

ThetaHealingTM for Freedom of Choice & Discernment

by Amâeil (Melinda Urban RIHR) Energy Psychotherapist, ThetaHealing Facilitator, Sacred Sound Channel

ThetaHealingTM quickly, gently and easily uncovers the root cause of your concerns and simultaneously releases energy from current life experiences, past generations, past lives and soul, to create deep and lasting change! For previous articles explaining Theta/DNA Healing, case studies, and an overview of all my services, visit www.MelindaUrban.com Our planetary shifting into Light has generated a proliferation of external information and profound internal upheavals. It can be overwhelming to have so much processing through your mind and whirling through your energy bodies. As the changes we encounter on this Earth intensify, your ability to make effective choices for yourself is becoming more important, and your discernment is critical. The truth comes from your inner directive.

When you live from your Divine Self you have access to the widest and deepest possibilities: the information of your subconscious mind, the awareness of your conscious mind, and the expansiveness of your Higher Self, which is one with the Super-conscious, All That Is. Through your Higher Self you can connect with your unattached Observer Self to see it all.

The ability to witness all these aspects of your consciousness gives you the opportunity to choose that which is aligned with your truth. If you see only what is in your conscious awareness you have a view that is limited to only what you already know. It’s vital to recognize that there may also be data in the storehouse of your subconscious that is in direct conflict with what you think you believe.

For example, you may think you desire surrender but you may subconsciously believe that surrender is frightening, perceiving that it requires sacrifice and loss. However, the Super-conscious completes the picture because it is the field of infinite possibilities holding all that is seen and unseen, and opens you to fresh perspectives. It may seem that you are stuck between the polarities of desire to surrender and fear of surrender, but your higher wisdom may help you to see that with surrender you gain your authentic gifts and immense ease. Your individuated consciousness can choose to discard the limiting beliefs, and pull in these new options from the Super-conscious, redefining the quality of your experience through your thoughts, emotions and actions.

This is freedom!

Choice is made more accessible when you know what in your subconscious mind is competing with your conscious desires or spiritual guidance, and you have the option to clear it: your wounds, defenses, sub-personalities and fears. You know you are not conducting yourself from choice when it feels like a thought, behaviour or emotion is in control of you. For example, you may have an inner critic that incessantly judges you, you repeatedly sabotage yourself with unhealthy behaviours, or you live in emotional turmoil or anger.

ThetaHealing is a powerful and swift means by which to accomplish this clearing. By exploring the paradigms of the ego mind, the subconscious limiting beliefs are lifted into the conscious mind for your choosing. If they no longer serve you, they are released simply but very effectively at the root. Some of these out-dated beliefs are stubborn karmic patterns that you are highly unlikely to consider or see, even if you live with much awareness; you may feel the frustrating pattern it creates, but be completely unaware of the cause that keeps it locked in place until you use a process like ThetaHealing. Many of my clients can attest to this.

When you move the centre of your life from the density of the personality/mind matrix and into the feeling sense of your Divine heart, you give the breath of life to your discernment. Deeply listening to your inner directive clarifies the energy you are currently holding and empowers you in your transformation. A higher galactic or multidimensional perspective liberates you from only seeing planetary or personal chaos. Your choices reverberate throughout the Universe. Ask yourself whether they are aligning you to your soul and your Divine contribution.

What do you need to clear out, and what do you wish to expand within yourself? Choose that which brings into your Divine truth. Then you have the resiliency and assuredness of your Spirit to accept any challenge and change.

Learning To Play From The Masters Grace/Sherry Harris, MSW, RSW

I

have just returned from a life changing trip. Other than the birth of my children nothing has been as impactful, exciting and life altering as this trip. For five days I snorkeled and swam off a catamaran in the warm waters off Bimini in the Bahamas. Twenty-two of us under the tutelage of the Wildquest team swam with the spotted and bottle nose dolphins, a few sharks and manta rays, sea turtles, a myriad of brightly coloured tropical fish and magnificent sea foliage. All of this was guided by Paula Norman and Mark Daniel and the Wildquest team.

Psychotherapist Insurance Receipts Available harris.sherry@gmail.com 613-236-8852 All of my life, I have loved the energy of dolphins. I have always known that they are loving, playful creatures of high consciousness. I have wanted to swim with them for many years. I was totally unprepared for the intensity of unconditional love that poured out of them toward our group. The love that poured back from us was equally wonderful. The entire time in the water with them was a lesson in living joyfully, playing, trusting and loving unconditionally. When we were on the boat, they swam around creating an entourage, leaping and jumping out of the water providing a water show of fun and happiness. In the water, they swam under, over, around and through us in swirls of playfulness. Trustingly they brought their babies to share with us. Never have I felt such love and trust from any of God’s creatures. We were simply loved beyond measure.

Their playfulness is absolutely divine. Being with them makes you laugh and smile from a place deep inside. I smiled so much my face hurt. I laughed and cried with joy.

Swimming with the wild dolphins is a treat not to be missed.

These were not trained dolphins lured by food to entertain us. These dolphins came because they want to share their joy with humans. They have so much to teach us about relaxing, trusting, playing and sharing love. My inner child who longs to play was ecstatic.

I was so touched by their trusting nature. Even after the abuse we humans have heaped on them they still approach us with openness, respect and joy. They appear so eager to share what they possess with us. And that includes their new babies. They radiate unconditional love, joy and playfulness.

June 2011

The Couple’s Coach Insurance Receipts Available harris.sherry@gmail.com 613-236-8852 Even being around them while in a boat changes one’s perspective on life. As they weaved joyfully back and forth in front of us jumping, twisting and turning they brought such a sense of play, lightness and desire to connect, it brought me to tears. I personally have never felt so loved, trusted and honoured by another species.

Our ocean journeying took us over the Bimini Road which is considered to be the road to Atlantis. We snorkeled along a path of large squarish rocks clearly laid out leading somewhere. Many of us brought crystals to put on these rocks to be charged. The charged rocks came out of the water with a triangle clearly and precisely indented somewhere on the crystal’s surface. The energy over the rocks felt almost electric. Feeling strongly that I have had many incarnations in Atlantis, it was awesome to be there.

All in all, I came home charged with a new energy of lightness and playfulness, a heart that is lighter and more joyful and with the desire to play and laugh a lot more. Dolphin energy is contagious. Just being with them opens the heart dropping away layers of old stuffiness and stagnation. All the ‘have to’s’, ‘must’s’ and ‘have to’s’ drop away. In its place is a joy, peace and lovingness that is anchored at a soul level. Dolphin energy rocks!

Visceral Manipulation

I

am somebody who has always been drawn into my viscera. Even the word viscera speaks volumes to me.

Something is visceral - it just is. You know it.

But what if you’re viscera is off kilter, it’s just not right.

You’re all garbled inside. Mish mashed and twisted and cranked. You know something is wrong, but you don’t know what.

The first time I had a Eureka moment was when I was attracted to a techniques in Mayan Abdominal Massage workshop in Big Sur California. That was a trip! That’s where I first experienced that our organs are conscious.

What I didn’t know, was that our whole body is buzzing with consciousness. So many layers of tissue so many systems deep; all intelligence, all talking with each other.

In Thai Yoga Massage the approach is to liberate trapped and blocked energy by palming Meridian lines, while manipulating limbs into deep yoga asanas. Like in Acupuncture, the organs are viewed as emotional, and are at the receiving end of the Meridian work.

What I learned in Visceral Manipulation was how to put your hand on a person’s abdomen, sink 9 layers of tissue deep with the sensory pads in your hands, and receive into your brain the sensory information going to the other person’s brain, through the process of Proprioception, an internal sensory modality that provides feedback on the status of the body internally.

We somatize stress in order to protect ourselves psychically. It’s actually another one of the body’s many intelligences. This is a good thing, as a temporary measure.

We need to be thankful that our psyche (mind, spirit, anima, vital force, the force) does this.

So when the practitioner puts her hands on a person’s body, that body will attract the hand to the densest place where the tissue is the driest and most imploded. And the tissue will say, “Thank you for being here,” and unwind itself out of trauma.

The technique is called Listening. It’s listening to the body, as she corrects herself.

It’s beautiful. It’s rewarding on the deepest level. You can correct unresolved muskuloskeltal pain that, finally I understand, is mere symptomology of a greater, core issue, being held in the gut.

Acupuncture and Thyroid Disorders

By Steve Ryu, L.Ac. When functioning properly, the thyroid gland secretes just the right amount of thyroid hormone to regulate almost all the metabolic processes in your body. Too much or too little of these vital body chemicals and it can drastically influence energy levels, body weight and your mental health.

The thyroid is a butterfly shaped gland that sits in the front of the neck. It is responsible for energy, metabolism, hormone regulation, body weight and blood calcium levels.

Thyroid disorders stem from either an overproduction (hyperthyroidism) or underproduction (hypothyroidism) of thyroid hormones. When your thyroid is not functioning properly, your body can experience a variety of symptoms: Hyperthyroidism includes symptoms like weight loss despite increased appetite, increased heart rate, heart palpitations, higher blood pressure, nervousness, excessive perspiration, frequent bowel movements, sometimes with diarrhea. muscle weakness, trembling hands, development of a goiter (an enlargement in your neck), lighter or shorter menstrual periods etc.

Hypothyroidism includes symptoms such as lethargy, slower mental processes or depression, reduced heart rate, increased sensitivity to cold, tingling or numbness in the hands, development of a goiter (an enlargement in your neck), constipation, heavy menstrual periods or dry skin and hair etc.

Hyperthyroidism and hypothyroidism can be diagnosed by testing the levels of thyroid hormones in your blood.

Hormones secreted by the thyroid are measured, as well as thyroid-stimulating hormone (TSH), a chemical released by the pituitary gland that triggers hormone production in the thyroid. Some milder forms of hypothyroidism can also be detected by a consistently low basal body temperature.

Both Western and Eastern medicine offer various methods to restore thyroid hormone levels. Western treatments rely mainly on drugs and surgery while Eastern treatments aim to restore immune function as well as balance the production and release of thyroid hormones through a variety of approaches ranging from acupuncture and herbal remedies to lifestyle changes and special exercises.

In the treatment to thyroid problems, acupuncture can be used to restore hormonal balance, regulate energy levels, smooth emotions and help manage sleep, emotions and menstrual problems. Treatments take all of your symptoms into account and are aimed at balancing the energy within the body to optimize health.

From a TCM perspective, in general, hyperthyroid issues result from a yin deficiency of some nature (Kidney, Liver, etc.) and hypothyroid results from a yang deficiency of some nature (Kidney, Spleen, etc.). For most conditions there will at least be some Kidney disharmony involved.

When it comes to lifestyle changes, a diet rich in protein, calcium, magnesium, and iodine helps support thyroid function while certain foods known as goitrogens may interfere with thyroid hormone production and should be limited. These include cruciferous vegetables (such as cauliflower, cabbage, and Brussels sprouts), peanuts, and soy. Stress reducing exercises such as yoga or tai chi can also be beneficial.

Monique Briand,

OWNER ANGELIC PSYCHIC • MEDIUM

Do you receive answers to your prayers?

D

id you know that you have a guardian angel/guide?

Well everyone does. Not only that, but most of us have many guides at different times. We have one guide to lead us through our birth and that stays faithfully by our side until we have passed on.

Other guides come and go into our lives as they are needed. Guides with special skills that connect with us to help with what we are working though at that particular moment. It can be anything from puberty, to baking a cake, to healing from an illness. There are guides ready to help in every situation.

However, we need to ask for their help. And most of us in fact do. Every time you wish or pray for something you are asking for help and guidance. What’s more your guides are always ready to comply.

So what can the guides do? They put things in order and organize the universe to ensure that things can go your way.

The only problem is receiving and interpreting their hinting and pushing and pointing in the right direction.

It is so easy to wish and pray. It is not so simple to receive the answers. And don’t say they don’t answer me, because that is not true. For every wish and prayer there is a reply.

Nudging and guiding you towards your goal. Not only that, they will also guide you there in the easiest and simplest and safest way. Everybody gets answers and guidance a few times an hour.

You are never alone. Isn’t it amazing to know that there is somebody out there who loves you unconditionally and who never judges you no matter what!

Life can be tough and painful at times, but it does not have to be. Everybody has a big support group of guides and angles. Their only purpose is to support, guide, help and protect you. During these courses you will learn how to communicate with them so that you can harvest all their help, support and love. We will go into the theory of how things work and then you will be guided through the practice of receiving and interpreting these communications.

Do not worry, everybody can develop this skill and consequently build strength and faith in yourself. You do not have to be born with special skills or gifts. These skills can be learned and developed at any age.

You will learn about the energy of quantum physics.

What is it and where is it? How can you use it and channel it? For what purposes can you use this energy? The answers are: your imagination is your limit. Your only limitation. In these courses I will help you begin to develop the skills of manifestation, clairvoyance, claircognisance, clairaudience, clairsentience, healing, and so much more.

There is so much love and support here for you, why not learn to harvest it?

Everything we thought about happiness is wrong

“We don’t want things, people or events. We want the feeling we mistake them for.”

– Cindy Teevens

T

hat was one of the biggest revelations that came to me after suffering was transcended by and into love and joy. With that came the discovery that you can “give” yourself the feeling you want any time, regardless of what is going on around you. With that, there was no holding it back, I was compelled to write the book Alchemy, How to Feel Good No Matter What. The practice the book is based on, Alchemy is the radical reversal of current self-help expert advice and that is needed because our current efforts are failing us.

• One in ten adults is depressed (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, CDC, 2008) • 15% of preschoolers struggle with anxiety and depression (Journal of Child Psychology and Psychiatry, 2009) • Child depression drug use has quadrupled in a decade (BBC News, 2007 “GPs in England wrote more than 631,000 such prescriptions for children in the last financial year, compared to just 146,000 in the mid-1990s.”), • “...the U.S. suicide rate has climbed steadily since 1999, driven by an alarming increase among middle-age adults.”

(Los Angeles Times, Oct. 21, 2008) • For youth and young adults between the ages of 10 and 24, suicide is the third leading cause of death. (Centers for Disease Control and Prevention, CDC, 2004) North America is reasonably well developed; compared to the rest of the world, it is rich, and life for most is not fraught with day-to-day survival, but with our needs met, still we are not happy. Generations have believed that the source our happiness (and our misery), is outside of us. So now that we have what we thought would make us happy, we discover it does not. No wonder anxiety and depression are rising.

Then there’s been generation after generation teaching the next how to suffer. As a child, if you were crying and your parents did not want to listen to you, what did they do? Send you to your room? What for? Well, to cry of course, so we learned how to suffer really well. How often did they send you to your room to feel good? Right. Never.

16

Almost nine times out of ten when I ask someone what they want, they state what they don’t want. It often takes some time for them to even positively know what they want.

They simply have not practiced it, yet you will never find what you want with your attention on what you do not want.

With the belief that your happiness is reliant on something or someone else outside you, the frequency with which you experience happiness, and the degree of intensity: the joy, bliss, even ecstasy that you have experienced is a limited, restricted version of what is possible.

Add to all that the lack of knowing where we came from, why we are here, what happens after the body drops, and even of who we are, and well, it’s no wonder.

But regardless of what goes on outside you, and regardless of the conditioned thinking of generations that goes on inside you, you are capable of much more joy than you have lived—or imagined! In fact, it’s been your imagination that has limited it.

We’ve been living from the outside-in, attaching ourselves to the unpredictable, uncontrollable, everchanging outside. When you live from the inside-out, your whole experience and perception changes, you find inner peace and the eternal joy of being that never comes and goes. The treasure is within you. Alchemy uses suffering for the only thing it is good for—to point you toward joy, so you can discover the treasure. It is a simple yet powerful practice that you can use any place, any time. Compassion will kick-in, compassion will unfold, and the joy that awakens will empower you, and free you from the ups and downs of the world.

There are free Alchemy TeleClasses that you can listen in on, a free online mini-course, workshops, intensive retreats, and now you can get advance copies of the book before it launches in the fall, all here: www.AlchemyLoveJoy.com

INTEGRATED ENERGY THERAPY® (IET) RELEASE THE TRAUMA WITHOUT THE DRAMA

I

ntegrated Energy Therapy® (IET) was developed at the Center of Being, by Stevan J. Thayer. IET is unique because it uses the divine angelic healing ray.

Just as our mind stores memories, our body stores feelings in the form of energy imprints. Negative or traumatic experiences, stress, unexpressed emotion, fear, anger, resentment or self-limiting beliefs can become “stuck” (or suppressed) in the body and can cause energy blockages. This may result in low energy, feelings of unrest, agitation or dis-ease. Many unexplained symptoms or illnesses may be caused by such suppressed memories.

Benefits of IET: • Increase your sense of well-being, life purpose, happiness, creativity, health • Painlessly release suppressed feelings stored in your ‘cellular memory’ • Have more fulfilling relationships in all areas of your life • Discover or deepen the meaning of your soul’s mission in life • Release trauma, stress, and burnout • Provide gentle yet powerful support for survivors of childhood traumas such as physical and sexual abuse, alcoholic and dysfunctional families • Help release energy associated with addictions • Support self-healing • Remove self imposed limitations • Re-connect to an enhanced awareness of your true union with the Divine Using powerful but gentle IET techniques, these negative energy imprints are released from the body in a safe and gentle way resulting in the client’s energy field being brought back into its natural state of wellness and balance. It is very common to experience a session in a very meditative state.

IET works on a purely energetic level in the silence where you can experience releasing old traumas, fears, resentments, erroneous beliefs, and pains without having to re-live the past. IET is the next level of energy therapies that uses a higher vibrational energy than traditional forms.

IET specializes in using the healing energy of angels, specifically the nine healing angels of the energy field. Each angel has its unique gift of healing. During an IET session, many angels including these nine healing angels join me and offer assistance in bringing their unique healing energy to the client for their highest good and highest healing at the time of the session.

A session begins with discussing the intention or focus of the session. During the IET session, the client lies fully

June 2011

clothed and relaxed on a massage table while soft soothing music is played in the background. IET energy is then directed into specific points on the body by means of gentle therapeutic touch and powerful IET techniques are used to gently rebalance the entire energy field. At the end of an IET session, it is normal to feel relaxed and recharged. The client may continue to re-adjust following the session for up to a week.

IET is complementary to other healing arts and can be used alone or in combination with other holistic or traditional approaches.

My name is Sonia and I am an Integrated Energy Therapy® Master-Instructor.

My home studio is located in a quiet rural setting just 15 minutes west of Kanata, outside the buzz of the city. If this seems like something you may be interested in exploring or have questions I would be honoured to speak with you.

An IET session is an hour in length and the special session pricing of $50 is in effect from June 1, 2011 until the end of summer. Gift certificates are available.

I look forward to hearing from you and welcome your inquiries by telephone at 613-257-4615 or by email at thehealingpath2012@live.com

At a Quantum-Touch Workshop

By Aileen M. McKenna, Certified Quantum-Touch Practitioner/Instructor

Q www.SpiritualFrontiers.ca PLEASE NOTE: SFC is giving away some books at Talks and Special Events Thursday, June 2, 2011 – 7:15 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. Introduction to Quantum-Touch Therapy and Demonstration of techniques Practiced for centuries in the eastern countries, and only recently considered even valid in the west, Quantum-Touch therapy as developed by Richard Gordon has taken the mystique out of hands-on energy healing and developed a modality that makes the possibility to produce miracles an everyday event. Using skills we were born with, and understanding simple techniques that everyone can learn, the ability to assist our families, friends, clients, pets and plants can become a regular part of your life. During this short introductory evening, Aileen McKenna will talk about the beginnings of this great modality, and demonstrate the simplicity of the techniques with willing volunteers.

Hintonburg Community Center, 1064 Wellington Sat., June 18 (1 - 4 pm) Quantum-Touch Workshop Quantum-Touch therapy is a method of hands-on healing that actually must be seen to be believed. With only a light touch, you can observe bones spontaneously adjusting into their proper alignment. Beyond this, all healing is accelerated. By learning to activate the power of Quantum-Touch, you invoke the secret of resonance. From the DNA to the bones, all cells and systems effortlessly respond to the resonance of your love. From our experience, we would say that this may be the easiest skill there is to learn. It is an innate skill we all have. Whether you are a complete novice, a professional chiropractor, physical therapist, massage practitioner, or other health-care professional, Quantum-Touch therapy allows you a dimension of healing that heretofore has not seemed to be possible. Remarkably, this work amplifies the effectiveness of a wide spectrum of healing modalities.

During this short workshop, you will learn the basic breathing and directing Life Force Energy techniques that will provide you with tools to work with family, friends, plants and animals to produce amazing results, quickly and easily. You will hear a short lecture, learn the basic techniques and then practice what you have learned and provide feedback to each other about your practice sessions. We will have time at the end of the practice for questions and answers.

A wonderful opportunity from Aileen McKenna to learn this life changing modality in a few short hours Hintonburg Community Center, 1064 Wellington Street ($20. fee) Monday, June 27 - Specific Mon. Evenings (7:00 - 9:00 pm) FREE - ENERGY BALANCE EXCHANGE hosted by Thomas M. Tegtmeyer There is a new Presentation Form available at the talks and workshops should you want to present at Spiritual Frontiers Canada in the new year. Please come and have a chat, chew over issues, digest new ideas.

All are welcome. Join us at the restaurant after the talk or workshop.

Invite your friends.

uantum-Touch Therapy is the 21st century model of an ancient healing art. Practiced by the ancients as a gift for the blessed few, Quantum-Touch therapy has been developed as a hands-on healing modality that is available to everyone regardless of age or background. Children attending the training have proven to be naturals attaining amazing results from the beginning and totally comfortable sharing about what they felt. Elders in their 80th plus years have also attended this training, and love to feel the energy movement that comforts their often tender joints and releases the tension in the muscles.

What can be accomplished with the use Quantum-Touch therapy? I must admit that I have yet to find a condition that will not be seriously changed using this very simple work.

The focus on healing with Quantum-Touch Therapy is on the client as the healer being ready for healing to occur.

Most hands-on energy healing works on this basis, but in Quantum-Touch therapy training, the emphasis on us as practitioners is simply holding the space and acting as facilitators of the healing process is stressed throughout the workshop. We are trained to do our work, which is to breath and run energy, and then to get out of the way of the healing process. Taking the stress away from the attainment of results, seems to create an even more powerful modality, as the further I am able to remove myself for the need to “heal” my client, the more impressive are the results.

Indeed, as ironic as this may sound, I witness regularly bones not only knitting themselves back together in proper alignment, but actually realigning themselves after having healed, often years before incorrectly. Recently I worked with a client whose arm had been broken over 10 years ago. Some repairs had been made rerouting a nerve that was being aggravated in the place where it should have been placed. As I worked we could tell that change was taking place, and after 30 to 40 minutes we realized that this nerve had actually moved across a bone and into the channel where it belonged. In spite of the stitching, and the passage of time and development of muscle, over a 10 year period, that nerve moved back to its place of origin into the funny bone channel.

I have witnessed this type of results often, and it is not unusual for major shifts to take place during a Quantum-Touch therapy training. In the beginning of the workshop, each participant learns to check and to correct the alignment of hips. Years of back pain and often hip pain, are relieved in less than 5 minutes. Broken legs that have healed incorrectly, sometimes 40 or 50 years earlier, begin the process of correction within a few moments of the energy being moved in the classroom.

Richard Gordon considers that this work is the result of the healing energy of the love vibration. Imagine if we all could care about each other enough that we could simply

place our hands upon the head of a stranger suffering with a headache. Or, imagine resting your hands upon an animal Breakthrough in Energy Healing in pain from some accident In Ottawa serving Ontario & Western Quebec or illness and watching them Holistic Wellness Coach relax as the pain goes away.

Aileen McKenna Or imagine you and I entering Certified Quantum-Touch® Practitioner an intensive care unit in a Certified Quantum-Touch® Instructor hospital and placing our hands Associate Polarity Practitioner Certified Aromatherapist upon the critically ill patients Certified Small Group Facilitator and have those patients take a sigh and begin to feel better as healing energy begins Certified Facilitator – Open Space Technology to move through them. I have heard of a nurse who works with infants, and she Aileen’s Oasis regularly places her hands upon these wee ones and is rewarded by them making 613-228-2272 eye contact with her as they sense the healing beginning to happen in that instant.

Permaculture

By Graeme O’Farrell

During times of universal deceit, telling the truth becomes a revolutionary act.

- George Orwell I would add that in times of global hunger, poverty and homelessness, so is growing food and building sustainable housing. Permaculture is a design science which allows us to create sustainable human habitat, and by extension a sustainable a diverse planet Earth.

My permaculture teacher left me and my classmates with a very important motto: The world is not suffering from a lack of resources, it is suffering from a lack of information. It is suffering from a lack of truth. Because if we all had the right information, if we all knew the truth, there would be no poverty, no homelessness and no hunger. We can solve these problems. Permaculture shows us how.

When I have given lectures on permaculture it warms my heart to see the high level of interest in Ottawa, but one or two hours is never enough time to communicate the broad implications permaculture makes for our civilization. People are routinely asking for more opportunities to put to practice the theory and philosophy I am teaching.

This summer I will offer for the first time a permaculture weekend learning retreat in the Ottawa area including theory, practice and live poetry and musical entertainment entitled Permaculture, Poetry and Revolution. This will be my first opportunity to really dive into the details of

June 2011

what permaculture is, how it works, and get people to try it themselves.

Participants will learn how to apply permaculture in a variety of ways, from their own backyards, windows and balconies to the farm or those places where the implementation of permaculture can make the difference between a life of poverty and suffering and a life of abundance and happiness. We will also be using performance art and group projects to teach participants about social justice, community organizing and the importance of art and activism.

Some of the topics people will learn about include permaculture ethics & principles, design concepts, priorities & patterning, food forest concepts,appropriate siting & materials for natural building, art & activism, eco-villages & land trusts.

I encourage all people to learn as much as possible about permaculture. To register or for more information simply contact me through the email or website listed below.

Graeme O’Farrell is a permaculture designer, teacher and consultant who also works as a professional musician, spoken-word poet, writer and self-described cultural revolutionary. He lives with his family in Ottawa. For more information see www.wix.com/gofarrell/GuerrillaGardens or contact him at graeme.j.ofarrell@gmail.com

Your Life Purpose: Growing Your Spirit

O

ne of the most common questions I am asked when people consult me in my role as a spiritual medium is: “What is my life purpose?” We can never fully know the answer to this question because one of the main agreements of a lifetime on planet earth is to experience a deep mystery where there are many unknowables. We enter this world not really knowing where we came from, what is going to happen tomorrow, next week, next year, or what happens to us after we die. After nearly 20 years as a medium who is able to communicate with loved ones who have passed away, I can tell you that the Creator is keeping many of these ultimate life questions in the Mystery. Having said that, it is also true that we can find meaning in life if we recognize that the key to unlocking the question of life purpose is to grow our spirit. Writer Eleanor Powell said it well, “What we are is God’s gift to us. What we become is our gift to God”. Who are you becoming? Are you fulfilling your life purpose?

Many people now believe that we are body, mind and spirit and over the past 30 years our society has witnessed a huge awakening as people have come to acknowledge their spiritual nature. Many now understand that we are essentially spiritual beings—spirit by nature—having a human experience in a world of matter, boundaries, limitations and undeveloped consciousness. We already have many resources that support us as we learn how to take care of our bodies and our minds. Our society offers institutions and organizations that facilitate learning how to be human. We learn these skills in our families, schools, recreational facilities, arts institutions, medical and psychological services. But that is only two-thirds of our life’s purpose equation.

In my experience as a teacher of metaphysics, most people begin to explore the idea of their “spirit-ness” in their late thirties or early forties. At any age we can feel this undefined, prodding impulse that there is something more in life that we need to do, but often we don’t know what it is. It is our spirit longing for us to personally experience our divine nature. Once we decide that we want to get to know our spirit through direct personal experience, it can be difficult to find the means to do it. The traditional institutions no longer appeal, and our society is still very much in the developmental

22

stages of creating new resources for experiencing and growing our spirit nature.

When we do find a pathway for opening up to our spirit, the spirit impulse demands to expand because the third part of our life’s purpose equation is activated and seeks to bring equilateral balance to our lives. American writer Oliver Wendell Holmes said it best: “The mind, once expanded to the dimensions of larger ideas, never returns to its original size”. Just as quantum physicists theorize that our physical universe is ever-expanding, our spirit seeks to expand its light. Once experienced, the spirit in us demands expansion because the inherent nature of light energy—or enlightenment—is expansion.

Our spirit nature possesses physical energy that can affect the body and the mind, and we trigger these very real energies by reading spiritual books, practicing meditation or visualization, performing mindful movement such as yoga or qi-gong, or attending spiritual lectures or group discussions. There is a literal quickening or speeding up in the vibrational frequency of our body’s electromagnetic field that takes place. Our spirit-space is literally expanded by every spiritual activity that we do.

These activities increase the frequency of vibration in the entire body, mind and spirit energy field. This process is called “attunement”. We are constantly experiencing attunements with every spiritual experience and we also need to learn to absorb and integrate these vibrations in a harmonious way in order to maintain our body-mind-spirit balance and achieve equilibrium. We need to learn the skills to manage attunements because they can cause physical and/or emotional symptoms as the energy field processes and integrates the new frequencies. Competency in energy management develops as we let go of reactive beliefs about so-called negative energy and learn to be a radiating source of light. That is our spiritual purpose. part 2 next month

Christian Meditation and the Role of the Weekly Group Meetings

By Paul Harris

R

ecently I met with a diverse group of people at noon time in my condo in downtown Ottawa. There were public servants, a marathon runner, a member of the Board of Directors of the Ottawa Mission, several retirees, a mental health therapist, a professional writer, and a singer/actor.

Was this a meeting of some new investment group? The cast of an Agatha Christie plot? Not really. As improbable as it may seem we were one of the 41 Christian Meditation groups that meet on a weekly basis in the greater Ottawa area.

One of the great unheralded spiritual movements of our time is the teaching on meditation of John Main, a Benedictine monk (1926-1982).

From his small Benedictine monastery in Montreal, he has given birth to a spiritual renaissance that today is bearing fruit around the world. Over 2,000 Christian meditation groups are now meeting weekly in 65 countries of the world in homes, churches, schools, hospitals, work places, universities, retirement and nursing homes and prisons.

John Main had a deep insight and prophetic vision that his teaching on meditation would be handed down in an organic way, primarily in small groups. In addition he had a profound understanding of the ancient tradition of Christians gathering together to pray. For John Main smallness was the secret to expand the teaching of meditation.

The heart of the weekly Christian Meditation meeting is the sharing of silence and stillness together. The power and strength of meditating together comes from the words of Jesus: “Where two or three are gathered in my name, there I am in the midst of them”. It is as if meditators instinctively realize that this is a spiritual journey that is difficult to make alone, and that we need the support of others if we are to persevere on the journey.

The weekly group meeting enables beginners in meditation to learn how to meditate and be integrated into a

group at any point in time. The group also provides support to on-going meditators to be faithful and committed to the twice daily practice of the discipline of meditation.

The weekly meeting also provides the meditation teaching with the playing of a taped talk by John Main on various aspects of the practice including how to meditate. There are now 250 talks by John Main digitally available on CD’s and cassette tapes. The question and answer period at the end of the meeting helps immeasurably in clarifying the teaching.

Discussion allows members to express any doubts, fears and misunderstanding of the teaching.

Small groups require virtually no resources, provide a sense of community, and promote the bonds of love, caring and fellowship

The World Community for Christian Meditation (WCCM) founded in 1991 and located in London, England, coordinates the world wide growth of groups. Most recently the WCCM has been invited to teach meditation in countries such as China, Russia, Indonesia and the Czech Republic. Laurence Freeman, Benedictine teacher/author, and successor to John Main, is the Director of the WCCM in London, England. He recently has been awarded the Order of Canada for his work in sharing the teaching of Christian Meditation in Canada and around the world.

Today in the small group setting we are recapturing the prayer practice of Christian Meditation that leads us from the head to the heart, from fragmentation to unity, from isolation to caring. This is the spiritual revolution taking place around the world to day.

Paul Harris is a former Canadian Christian Meditation coordinator and author/editor of eight books on John Main and Christian Meditation.

Earth My Body, Water My Blood Ian Prattis

K

nowledge about ecosystems, globalization, environmental ethics and the direct threat of Global Warming is applied to a proposed urban eco-community in Ottawa, Canada. The insights, diligence and brilliance of a senior ecology class at Carleton University in Ottawa provide the foundation for this collection – garnished with further contributions from myself, consultants and elders. The substance is how to start and sustain an eco-community using Ottawa as an initial platform. Each section of the book has a “Note From The Editor” to provide wider context. This is a continuation of the ground breaking best seller – Failsafe: Saving The Earth From Ourselves. www.failsafebook.com The book is organized around the great elements – Earth, Water, Air and Fire. The fifth great element – Space – is to penetrate humanity’s consciousness about a better way to live with Mother Earth. This research into establishing eco-communities reflects the shift in mindset required to salvage the global ecosystem for human habitation. Our present values and patterns of consumption are the architects of the present global ecological emergency. We are our environment. Wherever we live, our mind has to be focused on living as one component of Gaia’s ecosystem.

Earth contributions are on Community Supported Agriculture and Green Building Standards. Adaptation, fluidity and cohesion are in the detailed report on Water Management. Air contributions are about the ideological basis of a successful ecocommunity. The illumination and clarity of Fire introduces the Global Ecological Village network (GEN); the Carbon Credit Market; followed by Ecological Education in Schools; and Eco-tourism. Space has the aboriginal voice of Grandfather William Commanda and his vision for an aboriginal healing and peace centre in Ottawa, preceded by Wisdom of the Elders to provide a template about sacred ecology.

The book was released on Earth Day 2011 – April 22.

Retail price: $18.00. www.baico.ca Order Page.

Spring in the Bee Yard

O

ne of the rewards of bee keeping is that it brings one in close touch with the season, and its unique unfolding month by month thorough out the year. Each season requires different tasks, and brings particular challenges and satisfactions.

While my personal favorite is the honey harvest in early August, spring is the next best. Waiting for that first warm day when its safe to open the hives and take a look inside, there to discover how the bees have overwintered. There’s excitement and anticipation, is much like preparing and planting a garden, looking forward to a whole new year with the bees.

I must admit I’m always anxious for my bees each winter, with all the additional stressors to hive life now.

I usually put my ear to the hive a few times a month all winter long, hoping to hear that reassuring hum - letting me know as least for now, all is well.

This past winter I choose to experiment with putting my bees in the garage to offer additional weather protection.

That seemed to work quite well, but required vigilance to keep close track of spring’s arrival and to bring them back out doors before it really hit. Bees flying around in the building, doing their “cleansing flight” was something I definitely wanted to avoid!

So early March out they came and got installed in the bee yard on the hill. As the weather improved the boxes were opened to take stock of each hive. While its still too cold to do a thorough check you can get a good sense of the strength of each hive. Removing and cleaning the bottom boards and bottom boxes is the next job - bees have a tendency to move up in the hive boxes as the winter goes on, and many bees do die over the winter, clogging the bottom entrance.

In early spring its particularly important to make sure each hive has enough honey stores for the coming weeks, before any new pollen or nectar flow begins. I remember a very sad, hard, lesson in an early year of learning about beekeeping - a very strong hive that I thought had enough food, died out for lack of supplies, just before the first nectar

came on. There is no worse feeling than visiting a teaming, vibrant hive one day, to return a few days later, to find it deathly still.

Checking and finding the beginnings of new brood means the hive is off to a good start. I feed the bees - a honey and water syrup, honey saved from last year’s harvest - to encourage brood production and give the hive a jump start to the season. Careful care in the spring puts the hive in good order. Then we wait for the rain and warmth of spring to bring the trees and bushes to blossom, providing nectar and pollen for the foraging bees and honey making. Now August is just around the corner, and I can almost taste it!

Madeline will be giving a two day course - What the Bees Know - June 18 & 19, Hollyhock Farm Lanark County Madeline Dietrich M.A. has been a Lanark County hobby beekeeper, and a student of the healing power of bees for 10 plus years. She is also a holistic psychotherapist and draws from the connection to nature as part of her therapeutic tool box. For details visit www.madelinedietrich.com

What is Numerology?

By Vikki MacKinnon Although we live in a world of numbers, and a society that constantly seeks to measure and quantify, relatively few people are aware of the true meaning of numbers. The numbers we see all around us, and use every day to denote quantity or identity, as in our driver’s license, credit-card etc., are actually visual representations of great spiritual principles and cosmic forces that operate on the highest spiritual plane.

Numerology is the study of the spiritual and archetypal symbolism of numbers.

It has its roots in ancient teachings, and was made known to Western culture by the Greek philosopher, Pythagoras. Like astrology, numerology sheds light on your journey through life. The profound cosmic truths encoded in your name and birth date provide valuable clarity and guidance regarding your destiny, karma, relationships, career path, peaks and challenges. Also like astrology, numerology deals with probabilities and potential, not absolutes.

Every letter in your name has a numerical equivalent, and just like your birth date, these numbers can be combined in different ways to indicate energetic patterns and influences in your life. The numbers 1 to 9, and also the master numbers 11, 22, and 33, represent a continuum of vibrations, tendencies, and predispositions that play out in your personal and professional life and relationships.

We all have several numbers around us in varying degrees, and many of us have all the numbers from one to nine present in our personal profile. The most fascinating part of numerology is the way the numbers support, enhance, or play off each other, and the enormous variety of combinations that are possible.

Sometimes I notice potential for internal conflict. For example, a person might have a 5 soul urge which cries out for freedom and variety, yet a 6 life path or total expression indicates that they will likely have a great deal of responsibility toward others, while a 4 in those positions would indicate a life spent working within established routines, structures, or systems.

Other times I am struck by the fluidity of the progression of numbers within a chart. For example, if someone was born on March 6, 1980, their three major cycles will take them from the 3 (creativity, self expression, and sociability) to the 6, (balance, artistic harmony and nurturing), to the 9, (artistic sensitivity and great compassion).

It’s also common to see numbers positioned in such a way that instead of potential conflict, the vibrations bring balance to each other. For example, a highly introspective and spiritual person with a strong 7 influence may have just the right sprinkling of 3’s to help him stay connected with others, or perhaps a well-placed 8 to keep her grounded in practicalities. Numerology makes one appreciate the uniqueness of each individual and each journey.

There is a wealth of amazingly accurate information in an individual numerology profile, including but not limited to the meaning of the total name, the way we connect with our Higher Self, the way we are meant to contribute to the world, and the best way to replenish our life force.

For those of us who are passionate about spiritual growth, a personal numerology chart helps us integrate different attributes and aspects of our life’s journey into a meaningful whole, and offers insight and guidance related to the type of issues that we are experiencing at this time, as well as opportunities that are likely to arise in the future. With so much information and guidance available in our name and birth date, we need never feel uncertain about the direction our life is taking or how to make the most of our potential.

PATHWORK® Practical spiritual wisdom that lays out a step-by-step journey into personal transformation and wholeness. A challenging yet compassionate voyage of discovery to the Real Self through the layers of our defenses, denial and fear, guided by our own inner authority.

THE AETHERIUS SOCIETY is a worldwide spiritual organization dedicated to help heal and uplift humanity. Founded in 1955 by the late Western Yogi Master Dr. George King, The Aetherius Society practices a powerful new form of Karma Yoga. This new yoga is based on the wisdom of the spiritual traditions of old as well as new wisdom released by advanced spiritual masters in response to humanity’s scientific advancement and today’s dire need. ~ For the first time the connection between the science of yoga, the theology of all major religions, the knowledge of radionics and the mystery of UFO’s is revealed.

Every thought, word, deed and intent generated by each soul’s experience is recorded within the Akasha in one’s personal Akashic Records as well as in a collective recording of the experience. Accessing information from the Akashic Records gives us divine insight as we create and manifest our desires. Expect information to continue to filter into your consciousness through your dreams and in the form of sudden insights in the days and weeks following a consultation.

WORKING WITH TREE ESSENCES – PART 1

by Gulabo (aka Celine Cloutier) eople are amazed by the immediate response they feel and the goodness of our tree essences when they use them. We get testimonials on a regular basis and I wish to thank you for that, because your sharing is one proof that they work!

We cannot prove scientifically how they work! No more than proving how deep a mother feels for her child! But we were able to have an expert in the USA test the level of vibrations with a machine that reads the hertzian waves. The test showed that the essences are totally alive and each bottle has its own level of vibration, so that is one step towards seeing that they create energy and movement.

From long experience, your sharing, our observations, user group tests of essences and tests like the above with Hertzian waves, we know that our tree flower essences work. We know trees have infinite greatness available to us. When we attune ourselves to their vibrations via the essences, something happens….

What happens? Mostly 3 things.

One: The essences dig into our being to bring out our strength, our possibilities, our beauty, so our true being can shine: Which we may have forgotten temporarily due to events, experiences, unconscious memories, etc.

Two: The essences will support a transition, a difficult time or situation and help deal with what we may call sometimes, the unfairness or test of life!

And three: They work on deep-rooted wounds and patterns underlying, which sometimes create undesired thoughts or behaviors, we wish to condemn.

You may have witnessed miracles for yourselves and around you with our essences. We certainly have. You may also have noticed how the essences gracefully do their magic.

AND YET, sometimes, you may not always know how to bring them to clients, friends or family around you. Let’s talk about that.

When I work with practitioners wanting to use essences, and even experienced ones, for some, the challenge seem to be introducing essences to their clients, without sounding too weird and getting their clients to see that essences are simple and natural tools that will support them through their healing.

So how to approach and explain to your clients and even your friends and companions that essences can help them?

But how to introduce essences to someone you meet for the first time? We will talk about this in Part 2 of Working with Tree Essences.

The Eighth Annual Cosmic Pathways Healing Fair Maike Dombrowsky, founder of www.OttawaSoundHealingConference.com

D

o you need guidance in your life? Are you interested in further exploration of the healing arts? Are you looking for new ways to maintain your health? Do you feel that old patterns holding you back? Or just curious about what’s new? Perhaps it’s time for you explore and be part of this community based and unique annual Healing Fair.

We invite you to come out and experience...

Mark your calendar and make it smile. Highlight Sunday June 19th 2011 for The Eighth Annual Cosmic Pathways Healing Fair! The Fair will be held at The Glebe Community Centre, 175 Third Avenue, the same beautiful venue as in previous years, from 10am to 5pm. (Ample free street parking is available in the Ottawa Glebe).

This non-profit Fair has so much to offer to the Ottawa Community and I am thrilled and honoured to be part of the planning committee this year. Karen Osborne, Executive Director of the ever growing event will once again present the Ottawa community with many opportunities to experience a wide variety of unique healing modalities, alternative health care practitioners, and a wide spectrum of the healing arts.

I am certainly looking forward to this event and have been a visitor for many years now. What strikes me most about the Fair is that I had the opportunity to experience and try out new modalities and practitioners in a welcoming, informative, safe, and community based setting.

My biggest impression was that everyone I met was professional, friendly, courteous and willing to answer any questions I had.

As a visitor you can sample a smorgasbord of healing modalities offered in 20 minute mini- treatments or consultations for only $10 each. Take advantage of this beautiful opportunity to Sample the Healing Arts and “get a taste of whatever intrigues your pallet”.

You could make it a special day just for YOU. This is what I have done in years past; I treated myself and received nurturing and healing through complimentary health care therapies. It was a day of pampering my body, mind, and soul, and I look forward to each Fair for weeks in advance. You can invite friends or family members to come along. Enjoy their company and treat yourselves to a fun filled day that encompasses learning and healing on all levels. You are in for a special treat which only comes along once a year.

Some of the healing modalities I have experienced over the past included: Massage Therapy, Crystal Healing, Bowen Therapy, Shamanism, Life Coaching, Therapeutic Touch, Quantum Healing, Zenith Omega, Aromatherapy, Sound Healing, Reiki, and Psychic readings ~ just to name a few.

The Admission fee of only $8 gets you in the door and gives you a chance to observe healers at work on clients.

You can also gather hand out materials which most

52

practitioners have on display, may even have a chance to talk to them when they are not working with a client. You will have the opportunity to shop for awesome spiritual and health related products such as body care products, jewellery, crystals, cards and books. Fair Admission also includes an amazing line up of inspirational and informative presentations. This year’s presentations include, Demystifying Mysticism, Understanding the Mayan Code,

by Lilly White and Venture on a Rhythmic Sound Journey, a concert performance featuring Native Drums, Gongs & Crystal Bowls by Jody Marsolais.

Last but not least I do remember “The Pantry” Vegetarian Tea Room offering a variety of organic, delicious and healthy light meals and refreshments, some are gluten and dairy free for the individual with food sensitivities.

I would like to take this opportunity to thank Karen Osborne for holding on to her vision and bringing it into this reality. I know personally that she made a difference in peoples lives and I am grateful to see that the Ottawa community is stepping up to the plate. All the wonderful practitioners who donate their time and energy, the hard working volunteers and everyone who s involved ~ thank you so much for keeping this vision alive, going and growing.

We all can make a difference in this world one step at a time, promoting healing and raising awareness and consciousness for the greater good of all.

A portion of this year’s proceeds will go to: Friends for Peace www.friendsforpeace.ca and The Otesha Project www. otesha.ca

W

eâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;re all the same. It doesnâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t matter if we are in our 20â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, 40â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s, 60â&#x20AC;&#x2122;s or even older. We want health and wellness. We want to be fit. We want to look good. But darn it, we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t want to spend hours every day at the gym to see results.

We can send long email messages to someone on the other side of the world in seconds; we can watch movies on hand held phones; we can make or break a new business by posting a review on a social media site. Why canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we get our exercise routine done faster; why canâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t we get results in minutes instead of hours?

A HyperVibe machine is unique

Are you ready? We can.

The science and research has been around for years, but until now only the astronauts and elite sports professionals had access to the technology. Whole Body Vibration (WBV) was adapted by the Russian aerospace program to prevent the muscle atrophy that the astronauts experienced.

Now, over 60 years later, there is a wealth of scientific evidence to back up the long list of health benefits including increased muscle strength, bone density, metabolism and energy levels; reduced joint and back pain; improved balance and coordination; decreased celluliteâ&#x20AC;Ś all the benefits we want, no matter what our age. But the best part is that these benefits can be achieved in as little as 10 minutes a day.

WBV machines use a vibration platform. The energy of the vibration plate gets transferred to your body via your feet and legs. Your body reacts to the natural stimulus with an involuntary reflex muscle contraction. And hereâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s the best part; depending on the frequency setting, your muscles will contract up to 28 times per second resulting in more benefits in far less time than traditional exercise.

The technology is finally available and affordable for home and studio use. HyperVibe, the worldâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s most affordable â&#x20AC;&#x153;Trueâ&#x20AC;? whole body vibration machine is now in Ottawa.

HyperVibe will be showcased right here in Ottawa June 13th at 7 p.m. at the Macies Best Western Hotel, 1274 Carling Ave. You can learn about the research behind the amazing results. Better yet, you can try HyperVibe for yourself.

Reserve your spot at this FREE event by contacting Lise at 613 795 1469 lise.desjardins11@sympatico.ca Be the first to experience the HyperVibe and see what all the excitement is about!

To Be or Not To Be “Electropollution”

T

he toxin of the 21st Century. Electropolution is a term that describes our increasing exposure to harmful invisible electronic frequencies harnessed by man in our modern world.

Your home may be making you sick, unless you live in a cave, there is electrical current flowing inside the walls and ceilings of every room in your home all producing EMFs. Every electrical device in your home is amplifying these electromagnetic fields, your big screen TV, stereo, refrigerator, dishwasher, alarm clock, hair dryer,computors,wi-fi, baby moniters, lamps,fans etc.

Typical office environments shower employees with electropollution from fluorescent lighting,computors.wi-fi, fax machines, and even exercise gyms can subject visitors to a dense field of electromagnetic pollution from all electronic exercise machines.

We are living, driving and working in electrified boxes, pulsating and radiating EMFs into our bodies 24 hours a day three hundred and sixty five days every year.

Electromagnetic radiation leads to many diseases, including cancer, Alzheimer’s, adhd, heart disease, miscarriages and EMF sensitivity.

If you have a health problem, electropollution is not something your doctor is going to look into, but it could be causing or aggravating your condition. Don’t rule it out.

There are many contributors to disease in our environment.

EMFs represent just one. But to deny that electromagnetic pollution is not harmful is quite narrow minded.

We have excellent solutions for your electromagnetic pollution. Install our Peter Webb EMF Balancers in your homes, work places and autos and cell phones and feel the difference. Our balancers are made in Canada. No batteries or hydro required, free standing units.

The Significance Of Silence

W

e usually equate mediation with talking. It’s better for a separating couple to sit down together with a professional mediator and talk through their issues, we say, rather than battle it out in court. A famous book about mediators is called When Talk Works. A best-selling T-shirt in the mediation field says, “Just Talk To Me.” And yet sometimes mediation is not about talking. It’s about silence, about not talking.

One of my favourite mediators, Ken Cloke, writes about silence in his book Mediating Dangerously. Silence in mediation can mean many things, he says. It can indicate agreement with the other disputant, or anger with that person. It can suggest stubborn determination or thoughtful reflection. It can mean someone’s feelings have been hurt, or it can suggest quiet contentment. It can be an indication that a verbal eruption is about to take place, or it can mean someone is on the cusp of transformation. “There are, in other words,” says Cloke, “creative and destructive, positive and negative forms of silence. As mediators, our role is to deepen the creative and diminish the destructive silences.”

Many years ago a client sat through a 90-minute mediation session with her estranged husband without saying a word. After the first ten minutes or so, I gently asked her what her silence was about. She wiped away a tear from her eyes and just shook her head as if to say that she couldn’t yet talk. “Would you like to reschedule this session

to a better time?” I asked. She shook her head vehemently no. I had no idea what she was experiencing, but I sensed that she needed to do this. “Do you want to just sit here like this?” She nodded her head firmly.

And so the three of us sat in silence for the rest of the session. Her husband made a few futile attempts at moving the session along verbally, but then seemed to accept that something important was happening, though he didn’t yet know what. At the end of the session, I invited them both to reflect before we met again on what the wife’s silence had been about, what she was trying to convey to her husband that she couldn’t put into words. The couple told me in their next session that later that same day they were able to have one of their most important conversations ever, and reached a breakthrough in their communication that led quickly to settlement. “I just needed him to understand how deeply his decision to leave me had affected me,” the wife said, “and I had given up trying to reach him with my words.”

My colleague, parenting mediator Joan Traversy, relates another story about the power of silence. In a particularly contentious mediation, after an hour of angry exchanges between the parties, Joan suggested that they all take a few minutes, “just to let things be.” She then sat with them in supportive silence while they experienced a deep stillness that was in marked contrast to their earlier verbal battle.

Afterwards, the parties seemed to have experienced a major shift. One person offered an apology, and the other person then moved closer to him. They then proceeded to talk with each other in a different way and were able to move towards resolution. “It was just about letting things settle,” says Joan, “and allowing the space for a new perspective to emerge.”

Silence can, indeed, be golden 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

The many bene f i t s o f p r e n a t a l y o g a

W

omen often feel they must over-perform and exercise rigorously in order to maintain a perceived-ideal physique. Sometimes, these unrealistic expectations continue during pregnancy. However, pregnancy is a time to nurture the body, mind, spirit and new life growing within.

When practicing prenatal yoga, women are encouraged to embrace their changing body and enjoy the positive experience of growth.

Physically, yoga can help decrease stress, lower blood pressure, improve circulation, and reduce water retention, as well as tone and stretch muscles without inflicting any stress on joints. Mentally, it can help individuals cultivate mindfulness, and consequently achieve a calmness of mind.

These benefits are appealing to most, and especially to those experiencing physical, mental and emotional change, as is the case during pregnancy.

A regular prenatal yoga practice can help prepare women for the birthing process, and improve postpartum recovery.

Breathing techniques, such as ujayi and bhramari (also known as the bumble bee breath), help to lower blood pressure, reduce anxiety and allow the mind to focus on the present moment - all of which are valuable skills during labour and delivery. Interestingly, the vibration of the larynx during bhramari breathing has been known to calm a restless infant, especially if the technique was practiced during pregnancy. The baby recalls the tone and vibration felt in the womb and is soothed by its sound.

56

More importantly, prenatal yoga can help women feel more comfortable with their edge â&#x20AC;&#x201C; that is, the physical challenge of certain postures. By teaching mothers-to-be to focus on breath and to relax into postures, yoga eases the fear of the unknown. Yoga also teaches us to yield to the experience and to let go of expectations: those during pregnancy, birthing, and during the postpartum period. As a bonus, prenatal yoga classes offer a forum for discussion surrounding common concerns and support camaraderie among expectant mothers.

When identifying a class that suits your needs and schedule, be sure that it is lead by a certified teacher.

Prenatal yoga is considered a specialty and should be taught by someone who is familiar and comfortable with the necessary modifications.

Yours in yoga, Jennifer Chauhan Jennifer Chauhan teaches prenatal yoga at the Orleans Yoga Shala. She has been teaching prenatal yoga since 2007. A certified teacher, having herself practiced yoga throughout her two pregnancies, she has the knowledge and experience required to guide expectant mothers through their practice. She leads practitioners through gentle yoga exercises that encourage a relaxed pregnancy, improve posture, and relieve discomfort.

Kabbalah Changed My Life!

By Tracey Doyle and Daniel Tigner

“I have been studying Kabbalah for five years and it has changed my life.” says Gayle, a retired CBC television producer. “Before Kabbalah I was very reactive. I was easily upset. Kabbalah has helped me understand the power of ego and has given me tools that have helped me lead a better life.”

Gayle is a member of the Ottawa Kabbalah Study Group, which has been meeting for several years.

What do we study? What are the tools of Kabbalah?

Kabbalah is based on an ancient book called the Zohar, or Book of Splendor. The Zohar is an in-depth commentary on the first five books of the Bible, beginning with Genesis. The Zohar is said to reveal many profound secrets on life and lessons on how to find more fulfillment.

The central symbol of Kabbalah is the Tree of Life. This is the same tree that is told of as being in the Garden of Eden. We can think of Kabbalah as a stepping stone onto that tree.

When the Ottawa Kabbalah Study Group meets, we study the Zohar, the functioning of ego, key times for connecting to higher realms, meditation, and how to apply all of these tools to our daily life. While we are sincere in our study, our open discussions and the diversity of our members, always ensure that our meetings are enjoyable and enlightening. It doesn’t matter what your faith is, or what spiritual path you are on, anyone who is interested in learning about Kabbalah is welcome.

The Ottawa Kabbalah Study Group meets every two weeks.

Breast Cancer and Mammograms

Things you can do to decrease your risk of breast cancer: 1. Lifestyle: exercise regularly, go to sleep early, and eat a clean and nutritious diet, all appropriate for your body type.

2. Tune into your emotions and resolve old emotional issues. The issues identified by German New Medicine that are directly related to breast cancer are: intense worry about the health of a loved one (glandular breast cancer) and after healing a separation shock (ductal breast cancer). Other issues intersect with these to make them hard to resolve ie low self esteem and reluctance to slow down and take care of ourselves...

3. Gently and compassionately address excess weight.

4. Decrease excess alcohol (over 2 drinks/day according to stats; I would say much less).

5. Learn how to do seasonal, weekly and daily cleansing practices.

6. Minimize extra hormones ie birth control and hormone replacement therapy; check out natural alternatives.

7. Read up on German New Medicine while healthy—it could save your life if you ever get any type of disease.

8. Figure out what you believe in and cultivate strong faith while you are well; it’s hard to do after being diagnosed with something we think is scary.

Q: My mother got breast cancer and had a double mastectomy when she was just 43 years old and died at 48. My sister and I have been told that regular mammograms could save our lives. Do you agree? Is there anything we could do to help prevent getting cancer? Kathy.

A: Let’s consider various angles, with references for further research, because I believe that going into a topic on one’s own and making a decision that has been well thought through helps make us more resilient to disease by strengthening our sense of self.

Mainstream medicine in Canada recommends that women between the ages of 50-69 get a mammogram every two years because statistics say that this will decrease the risk of death from breast cancer by one third due to catching a cancer at an early stage when it is easier to treat. For women with a family history of breast cancer, it is probable that their medical doctor will advise starting this screening at age 40 to offset the increased risk. The thing to know about mammograms is that there is a high incidence of false positives and associated stress, so if you are called back after a test, try to keep this in mind...

From a holistic perspective, there is still nothing wrong with getting a mammogram, it’s more a matter of how one would respond emotionally and treat a breast cancer if one is diagnosed. The radiation from a mammogram is quite low, the number of cells damaged is easily repaired by the body and there are many things you can do to offset the radiation effects.

For women who prefer an alternative, there is the possibility of using one of two types of thermography for breast cancer screening, infra red and point testing for temperatures. I prefer the latter as it gives Open House & Free Talk a lot of other information about the body that is useful in developing a health plan (regulation thermography). We have one The Natural Approach to Cancer Detection and Treatment of these devises at our clinic and love it!

Saturday, June 18, 1-3pm Personally, I had one mammogram around age 40 out of curiosity and in Introduction to Mind-Body Medicine the meantime (I’m now 53) have gotten with Katherine Willow N.D., a regutherm test annually, feeling fully Thurs June 30, 7-8:30, $20 confident in this technology.

SRI CHINMOY: The root of fear is our ignorance. Fear comes into existence when we do not identify ourselves with the mightiest, with the most powerful. Fear comes only when we are in the limited being, in the limited consciousness.

Fear first enters into the subconscious mind and then into the mind proper. It is the mind which brings forth fear. Then the mind is afraid it will be exposed. The mind causes you to be jealous; then later the mind thinks it will be punished because it has done something wrong. But the moment fear enters, please feel, “I am not in the mind, but in the heart.” Feel that you are the heart. Feel that your heart has the capacity to identify with God’s Compassion, Forgiveness and Concern. If you can identify yourself with positive qualities, then the negative qualities of fear, anxiety and worry will automatically go away.

Fear comes from feeling unduly responsible. But it is God who created you and He will protect His creation.

You are the child of the Supreme and it is He who is responsible for everything. He is your Inner Pilot. He is around you and inside you. There can be no fear when you feel His security and protection.

If we want to fight fear, first we must accept it as an imperfection in our nature. We know that we do not want to remain imperfect. So in our outer life as well as in our spiritual life we work until we are perfect. We have to see what gives us joy. If we think all the time, “I have fear, I have fear,” then we shall dine with fear. If we think, “I have anger, I have anger,” then we shall dine with anger.

So let us take the positive approach: “I have no fear; I have only strength, inner strength. I have no anger; I have only peace and love.” By thinking of strength we will conquer fear. If we seek the things which fulfil us spiritually, then we will achieve perfection.

It is the unaspiring part of us that is afraid. The unaspiring part of us is afraid of everything and yet it will not cry for help. It is quite satisfied with fear. But the aspiring soul in us continually cries for Peace, Light and Bliss. The aspiring soul in us will never be afraid of anything, because aspiration embodies Light. The soul’s Light is always ready and eager to chase away fear. The aspiring parts of us will always be inspired, fed, nourished and illumined by God.

Emotional Mastery through Qi Gong â&#x20AC;ŚDeborah Cameron brings her internationally acclaimed Workshop â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Emotional Masteryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; to Ottawa

D

eborah Cameron has brought her successful practice â&#x20AC;&#x153;Sole to Soul Holisticsâ&#x20AC;? to Ottawa as of April 2011.

A former registered nurse from Barrie, Ontario, Deborah is a certified reflexologist since 1995 as well as an instructor of the ancient Chinese exercise Qi Gong (similar to Tai Chi) since 2000. Bringing her expertise and unique methods of reflexology combined with Qi Gong Deborah has created a transformative 2 day workshop entitled â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;Emotional Masteryâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, that she is now teaching in different locations in Ottawa.

Deborah has been described as a â&#x20AC;&#x153;spiritual catalystâ&#x20AC;?. Her powerful intuitive gifts rapidly link your â&#x20AC;&#x153;sole to soulâ&#x20AC;? revealing the physical, mental, emotional and spiritual story of your present lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s challenges. Deborah will facilitate you to get to the root of the problem quickly ... the only prerequisite is your open willingness to receive the gift of insight that she has to offer.

Deborah provides practical, easy tools to evolve your lifeâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s undesirable patterns into discovering your soulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s purpose.

For years I have been working with clients, combining techniques of reďŹ&#x201A;exology and Qi gong, states Deborah.

By accessing the 250 reďŹ&#x201A;exes within the soles of the feet, combined with my extensive knowledge of Qi gong, I am able to surmise any congestion in the vital organ I am working with, as well trace an old or new pattern of unbalanced, negative emotion that may be plaguing the cellular memory of the particular organ.

The ancient Taoists taught, and is now proven scientifically that cells of the body hold memory, therefore an emotion that is repeated over and over again more or less â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;sets up practiceâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, within the cellular memory of that given organ.

The Taoist masters, (tao meaning the way), over 5,000 years ago, taught that specific emotions are stored in the individual vital organs of the human body. For example, grief sadness, and depression are stored in the cellular memory of the lungs and colon, where stress, fear and anxiety are stored in the kidney and bladder. Each vital organ houses itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s own set of emotion.

When the emotion becomes â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;masterâ&#x20AC;&#x2122; over the body, then ailments begin to set in, our dreams become blocked, and we begin to accept that the emotion, be it for example, anger, grief or guilt, is simply â&#x20AC;&#x2DC;who we areâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;, and we begin to work our reality around that emotion What if the emotions are not who you are at all?? What if it were possible that you could in fact become, the Master over your own emotions?

Deborah is conducting her transformative hour long reflexology treatments out of the Separation and Divorce Resource Center in Blackburn Hamlet.

Laura’s Numerology News For June 2011

*NOTE: PLEASE EMAIL ME IF YOU WOULD LIKE THIS FORECAST SENT TO YOUR EMAIL BOX ON THE FIRST OF THE MONTH. This is a general numerology forecast.

You have many other numbers connected to your name and birthday that will give you a better understanding of what this year will bring you and so much more. Contact me for a 90 minute personal numerology consultation if you are at a major cross-road in your life.

How to calculate your personal monthly number Add the day of your birth to the month of your birth.

Then you will add the number 1 for the month of June.

NOTE – If you’re final number adds up to double digits, add the numbers together again, and again, if you have to, until you get a single number. If you still have trouble, email me at lbaird@istar.ca 1. You need down time, BIG TIME, in June. The year is a total grind, and it is only half over. You may find a very small window of opportunity to factor in a BIT of fun, this month. The entire year’s events will create a very deep knot in your forehead, and forces you to get off your butt and work extremely hard. Do it now and you will be rewarded in the near future. Try to remain calm, disciplined, and focused. No procrastination allowed.

Do not even think of neglecting your health.

2. Now would be the perfect time to travel or focus your attention on the relationships in your life. Get out of the office, as everything come to a big halt for the month.

Waiting and more waiting. Try not to be pushy as it will definitely not work in your favor. Take a back seat role and keep your mouth shut at home and in the office. Remember I said this, as it is an unstable time and conflicts can arise. A solid door could close on one of your close relationships.

3. You should have a spring in your step and you feel a new life in your tired bones. The world will seem brighter and there will be more opportunities for fun, vacations and new beginnings. Try to focus on creative pursuits around the home. Gardening, painting or settling into a new home are all highlighted. Seeds are planted for new life during this influence, so go hard or be very careful, if you know what I mean.

4. Have you placed issues connected to your body and mind on hold for far too long? I know that you are very, very busy, but you cannot ignore it any longer, or you will get a big slap in the head. Get your act in gear and pay attention, NOW. If you are thinking about a holiday….. forget it, as this is not the time. The month of July is a better fit. You might find yourself overstressed or depressed, in June. Take time to heal on the weekends.

64

5. Is your work life in a state of chaos or change? Watch your mouth, as you might say something that you will regret later. If there are changes needed at work, take the reins and move forward and promote yourself, now.

This is a super business influence, so take advantage of it. Now is the time to make firm decisions around career issues or purchases.

6. Your attention will be focused on your loved ones, in June. Make an effort to be generous and tolerant of everyone’s flaws or short comings. This is not a time of self centered behavior. This whole year will focus on endings, and the month of June is all about family or domestic issues, therefore, any situations connect to this are in the process of ending. This is never an easy influence, and you will find that your emotions are raw.

7. Have you thought about your goals, for the future, yet?

What are you waiting for? You are in the first year of a nine year chunk of time, and a 7 month, so it is all about you. Make an effort to write them down. Do you want a new career, new home or a new love? Make a plan. You must ASK for what you want or history will repeat itself. This is a very important year for you to get new seeds in the ground. Gather new information, read books, or consult a coach. Spend more time on solitary pursuits this month. Take a solitary holiday to refuel for big decisions next month.

8. Career or money restrictions will stop you from either taking a vacation or enjoying it. There will be a surplus of work thrown in your face, this month. You are being stretched beyond yourself. The result will be a new and better you, trust me. Make sure that you get more than your share of sleep and don’t forget to take your vitamins. Emotions are running high. People at work might be a pain in the rear end.

9. Pack your bags as it is time for you take a well deserved holiday. If money is low, kick back have a few buddies in for a BBQ. You will experience a few endings in June, but this is important, so you can open new doors as early as July. Do not start anything new, just tie up loose ends and get ready for a light switch to be thrown into the ON position. It would be beyond perfect if you could take the summer off, and use it for regeneration.

Next year is a busy, rebuilding year, so you need to juice up and heal, this summer, so you can rebuild on a newer and more improved you.

Introduction To Sexual Alignment Initiation

By Miorita Pincu

O

ver the last year I’ve been given the opportunity to introduce people to the Sexual Alignment Initiation, an initiation recently given to us by Sirius and Pleiades enlightened beings in order to support Humanity through this highly transformational times. Through the last months of anchoring of this work I’ve come more and more to the awareness that this new energetic techniques are in a great measure the reintroduction of teachings which once have been at the core of life in Lemuria and Atlantis in their enlightened , harmonic period, techniques which are now revived and enhanced by the Masters in order to facilitate an extremely quickened awakening for our civilization.

The Masters have described the core of this work as ‘an alignment of our sexuality with our Heart and the truth of the Self’, but as the experience of communicating the truth of this work to people has taught me, this equates in most people minds with ‘sex therapy’, and nothing could be further from the truth. This Initiation is truly a whole body energetic re-alignment, an alignment and bringing together of all that we are on multiple planes of reality until all these aspects are focalized and unified into the one connection with the Source of All, it is an ascension preparation for the individual, while, at collective level, anchors very high frequencies of light here on this Earth plane, building a bridge of light with other dimensional realities, and restores Humanity into its rightful place in the circle of life in the Universe.

The energetic processes involved in this initiations are truly beyond what can be intellectually comprehended by the human mind now; nevertheless, it can be said that the work is designed to balance and align various energy centres in our bodies, and blends synergistically three powerful activations: cellular awakening and blueprint restoration, Kundalini rising and the directing of the sexual flow for the healing of internal organs; Merkaba activation and its calibration for rejuvenation and immortality.

Again, what the experience of teaching this work has brought forth for me is the understanding that the process of awakening and clearing and energetic blueprint restoration

Pleiadian Transdimensional Portal Miorita Pincu

Keeper of the Pleiadian Light Center Sexual Alignment Process Teacher

miorita.pincu@gmail.com 613-258-0050 www.pleiadianportal.com for cellular health - which comes as the first activation in this complex and multifaceted process - greatly affects the way in which the Kundalini activation unfolds, allows for a much smoother and accelerated awakening and an easier letting go of all that doesn’t serve the person anymore. Another aspect which has come forth through the teaching of this work is that the processes given for the Merkaba activation are practically fail proof, beside being fairly easy to initiate.

Of course, each person taking this journey will move at his/ her own pace, and the pace of Merkaba activation will vary greatly according with each one’s level of connection with his/her Higher Self and the Source of All Life; nevertheless, the process of Merkaba activation and calibration is ‘set-up’ so perfectly through the table work and meditation as to make it practically impossible for someone who consciously engage in these processes not to be able to do it or to continue to expand or unfold through the processes given.

Moreover, once activated, the Merkaba is really easy to use on a daily basis in dealing with what our current lives are made off: emotional set-backs, ‘inner child’ issues, health concerns, etc., and beyond that, it facilitates each one’s connection with higher and higher aspects of their own being and also to contact and co-creation with other highly evolved being. There is truly an unlimited potential for accelerated personal awakening and transformation which is offered through this Initiation.

Why Marketing Does Not Work

H

ow many times have you been asked, in business, to respond to the question, ‘What do you do?’ If like, so many, you fumble your response, you are not alone...

I have chosen to remove attention from what I once believed was expected re: networking for business, which has traditionally presupposed cross-promotion as a strategy to build business. The linguistic cue given to this notion is the word, Marketing. My truth is that I need not build or market anything. Me, actively and authentically being me - visibly and out loud - is what creates. In that, there is nothing I need do. These days, I choose to connect with others, intentioned in evolving mySelf for my own sake. I engage with my ear naturally poised to listen for the unique vibration of each woman I speak with, connecting her, intuitively, with others to realize what she wants.

Humans, as quantum biological beings, are not static.

Neither are soundbites/catch phrases/slogans when considered in the immediacy of expression. In traditional marketing, soundbites, perpetually repeated, coalesce into habituated responses to the question of ‘What do you do’; they anaesthetize what remains unknown to us as possible, to perpetuate the coma of being asleep to ourSelves.

When women desire a certain endeavour to improve their experience of living, they are not looking for that endeavour, itself; they are looking for what they believe the modality will provide them. That, for me, is where a soundbite about what I ‘do’, will fall short of describing what is infinitely possible. Speaking to what I do, separate from whom I AM, rarely, speaks to what is possible in authentic engagement.

Speaking the truth about what I want to create for and in my world, speaks to the enormous potential of what is yet unrealized.

In short, I would say that I AM the continuing Invitation for women to take back their lives for themSelves, first , foremost and always. That invitation can allow for many different forms of acceptance.

Expressed more expansively, I am the continuing invitation, the authentic pattern interrupt, for women to choose - finally and for themSelves, first - to stop figuring their lives out, as strategy... and to surrender to the genius of their intuition... trusting their bodies to lead... no exceptions.

I know that statements like these fly in the face of traditional, outcome-based marketing... where outcomes are presupposed as achievable only in the perceived reality of ‘doing’ things according to prescribed idioms, rather than being presupposed, consciously, as already fact, in the declaration of it as personal truth. So, I no longer hold the idiom of marketing as real for me. Connecting, as it feels ‘right’ for me in the moment, is how I now choose to live.

It has been a long haul for me to get to this place of ‘no competition’. That was not true of my past and it came with looking outside of me for what would allow me to ‘fit in’.

Marketing, as we know it, demands that we compete.

B O DY G AT E W AY S Sheila Winter Wallace WEL-Systems® Affiliate & Master Facilitator CODE Model Coach™ BSI BodySpirit Integration Going Beyond Solving a Problem to Transforming a LIfe 613-292-4562 Sheila@BodyGateways.com www.BodyGateways.com

Marketing to others is externally directed... morphing self to satisfy the perceived needs of others... thereby, forcing a fit into where there is no fit. Figuring it out and getting it ‘right’ is marketing’s fuel; how often does that car find itself running on fumes?

Engaging Self with others invites internal referencing, trusting what feels ‘right’, inside -allowing our bodies to lead. With that trust, our intellects can clearly choose from what presents from inside. Marketing demands that whatever you think of me is my business. Engaging, in contrast, means that whatever you think of me is none of my business. Choosing the latter, I allow mySelf to hear what remains unsaid in one’s search to become more.... and to follow through from there.

I am currently affiliated with a group of WEL-Systems® women who meet quarterly in full support of each other in a non-competitive business model. We do not market.

We are engaged. Our courage is what propels us forward in reclaiming new ground upon which to create. It is not always easy. However, it is the most meaningful journey of my life in the process of living with consummate intensity and intimacy. Separate, yet connected, we are creating an ever-expanding, low-to- the- ground web of support for women who are choosing to live fully engaged with Self and other. While I am not a biblical student, still I am reminded of Christ’s words in John 5:30: I can of my own Self do nothing. Choosing to Be mySelf, speak my truth, show up and engage is what attracts. That authenticity of Self is what creates worlds.

And, that is why marketing does not work.

No One Bites Me Patricia Wall ©Take the Lid Off Inc

Tigers are not evil. A tiger will bite you if it’s hungry or you are a threat. It isn’t wrong for a tiger to bite you – it’s just being a tiger. That’s why zoos have fences – to make sure the visitors aren’t feeding the tigers – literally.

If you encountered a tiger roaming loose, what would you do to protect yourself? Would you be comfortable getting a big stick and swinging it to keep the tiger away from you? Would you hit the tiger to avoid being bitten? What is reasonable behavior to protect yourself from an animal who considers you prey?

Martial arts ads advise parents that children won’t be bullied if they carry themselves with the confidence of knowing how to protect themselves. Similarly, if your energy tells the world that you won’t be bitten, then neither bullies nor tigers will be interested in taking you on. How do you get your energy keeping you safe?

Ironically, the best place to start is by releasing the judgments about right or wrong that apply to other people.

Immediately your cognitive brain starts a refrain of the wrongs people may do: people hurt each other; they lie and cheat and steal. People hurt children, wage wars, and carelessly abuse the environment. It’s not hard to make a list of wrongs for people.

It is because of this condemnation that your ability to protect yourself with your own energy has been damaged.

Bring your thoughts back to the tiger. A tiger is not evil – it’s a natural predator. It’s not wrong for a tiger to be a predator. Some people will struggle even with that idea.

And yet, to truly get to peace it is necessary to love without judgment. It is freedom from judgment that will free you from having conflicts in your life. It is allowing yourself to see the truth of tigers – and people – that will free you from conflict and allow you to be safe in a world where tigers exist, and some people have the nature of tigers.

Tigers will eat people, that’s natural. It’s not necessary that you be prey for tigers. Inner peace comes from realizing that it’s okay for tigers to exist in the world, and that you can live in a world with tigers without being prey to tigers. That’s a very different perspective than calling something wrong. Tigers and other people can carry on with their lives, and you get to decide how you interact with that.

You get to decide what you want to experience.

Often someone will observe that it’s hard to loving in a world with so much negativity and pain. I don’t think the tiger is in pain or feeling negative when he’s having dinner. In fact, the tiger is probably quite cheery about a full stomach. That’s probably the hardest part to accept – the true compassion of respecting other’s journeys. It’s so confusing because we tend to view the journeys of others through our own perceptions – and it’s easy to look around and see lots of choices you wouldn’t want, perhaps even in your own life.

It’s also confusing because people will protest their circumstances, and state emphatically that they don’t want

lack, or abuse, or illness, or whatever someone might call wrong. There’s a huge frustration in knowing that people create their situations and experiences from the patterns in their subconscious, not from cognitive choice.

That frustration exists because you can’t make change with a cogntive decision, it requires working with the subconscious, with feeling directed by thought – once you get that it’s so much easier to change your life – but until you get it there’s a maddening conflict between what you want and what you manifest.

To reach true compassion requires accepting that people will create from their subconscious patterns, and that your best contribution is to demonstrate creating a fabulous life.

Having a great life is the best ad for consciousness there is. People will have patterns that manifest, and that’s okay – just as tigers will bite. By truly accepting this reality, you can see the truth of what people are manifesting and choose how you interact with it so that you can have a fabulous life. Tigers won’t bother you. People who live as tigers won’t bother you. And sometimes, someone will ask how you do it, and then you can share your glorious wealth of happiness.

There’s the test for true compassion. Unless asked, it wouldn’t occur to you to tell another person a way to live because they’re busy being a tiger, and that’s natural Patricia Wall, Osloda.com 613-831-8956 Osloda: The Art of Dealing with Everyday Life

Music Healing

I

believe in the power of music like children believe in fairytales. For 29 yrs. I have taught music to students from 3-82yrs. old. Many come only for music lessons but something quite different soon transpires. It`s a miracle.

There is a healing that takes place. You see, music is like a mirror. If something is not quite right in other areas of your life it shows up in your music.

Many children, teens & adults come to me with ADHD, ADD, dyslexia, face blindness, depression, self esteem issues, aggression, being misunderstood, isolation, divorce, communication problems, poor concentration, anxiety, alcohol fetal syndrome, cancer, diabetes or drug, alcohol, sexual, psychological or emotional abuse issues.

It helps if clients are open & tell me about their issues.

Some try to hide it, but it soon comes out in the way they hold their body, play their instrument or the way they sing.

The body doesn`t lie. So openness, awareness, honesty & patience are key or the student will hit a speed-bump & not get the full benefits from the music class. They will get stuck, frustrated, quit & look for another teacher thinking the problem lies outside themselves. But the dis-ease & or pain is in their own bodies.

To explain further: The body is composed of 7 major energy centres or chakras (& hundreds of minor ones), which receive, assimilate & distribute energy. This energy or life force enters our bodies through our electromagnetic field, known as the aura.

Each energy centre resonates to the same frequency as a pitch in the C major scale. When the chakras are evenly balanced & tuned with each other, our physical, mental & spiritual selves are in harmony for optimum health & wellbeing. When they are not, we have blockages or dis-ease.

“ADHD children are so sensitive to electromagnetic impulses from TV`s, computers, microwaves, cell-phones & video games that it seriously disturbs sleep, memory, organizing abilities, finishing tasks & can cause short term attention spans, poor concentration, aggression & or depression, irritability, frustration, destructibility or socially disruptive behaviour & trouble with math, spelling etc.”

And yet they may have high IQ`s.

With my help, the child or adult will become more centred, focused, forgiving & peaceful & have more joy in their lives as well as better grades without having to resort to Ritalin.

“Ritalin is structurally & pharmacologically similar to amphetamines & cocaine & has the same dependency profile. Even the milder side effects of ADHD drugs can include such problems as behaviour disturbances, psychotic episodes, anxiety, restlessness, agitation, amnesia, confusion, lack of emotion & hostility.”

Start Small and Learn from Nature Principles for your Home, Garden, School and Business

by Bonita Ford

I

n nature and in our personal lives, energy and resources are precious. When we look to the natural world as a teacher, we can learn to do less wasteful work and create systems that are more fruitful. At its simplest, permaculture design can be described as a way of thinking and designing things, based on the way nature works.

Permaculture teaches us to work intentionally and intelligently in all realms, be it in the garden or in an organisation. It teaches us to make the most of our time and resources, to maximise the outcomes that are valuable to us, while working less. Permaculture uses a series of principles, which are based on natural systems as well as indigenous and scientific knowledge. These design principles can be applied to physical things – like houses, gardens and landscapes – as well as to “social” things – like school curricula, organisational planning and business models.

One simple principle is starting small. Whether starting a garden or starting a new business, we can start small and slow. Starting small means focussing intensively with our resources and time on a one or two new garden beds, or one or two new projects. When we start small, we can minimise our input of resources, and give more time and attention to monitoring the outcome of our efforts. Starting small allows us to keep our mistakes small as well. We can take what we’ve learned, building on our successes and adding new projects - slowly, surely and intentionally. This principle encourages us to ask: What is the smallest change we could make, for the greatest impact possible?

In permaculture, the world is our living classroom. We can begin by sowing a small handful of seeds (literally and metaphorically). We tend to them with attention and care.

We take the time to observe, notice and learn. At every step of the way, we develop a deeper relationship, understanding and knowledge of the processes with which we are engaged.

Over time, we may begin to “think like a forest”, creating abundant, self-sustaining landscapes and resilient, thriving organisations that are in greater harmony with everything around us. The living classroom is open and accepting students.

Bonita has led workshops and groups worldwide for over eight years, including in Budapest, Soweto, Port-au-Prince, San Francisco, Seattle, New Mexico, Vermont, Toronto, Ottawa and Perth.

The Power of Just Being So many of us have forgotten the power of being, or should one say the art of Be ing.

This life style we have created and we are living, is making us stressed and sick. The lifestyle that we as a society have chosen is riddled with constantly doing.

Do we remember how to sit and just be? (AHHHH Just Breathe…….) Do we remember how to honour and recognize each moment we have been given? I myself sometimes have trouble Be ing and sometimes get caught up and live in a state of doing and wonder why am I so frazzled so short tempered this is not a state I enjoy being in it does not serve me or anyone else for that matter., it really isn’t productive. In an age where we have road rage, sidewalk rage and bullying not only from children…I say it’s time for us to get in tune with ourselves again and our source and just learn to Be! As I have journey through life I am learning to stay more in the moment, it certainly as served me well with my clients, my family and my friends. Yes and even being a Reiki Master I must remind myself to be more mindful and see the beauty around me and recognize the beauty of source within myself, everyone and everything. We are where we choose to be. Always in life there is choice. Renewing in every moment where we are and where we choose to be past, present, future and how we choose to live this life.

As human beings we seem to live either in past or in the future…rarely in the present. However, if we recognize our spiritual self and journey within we live more in the present.

We often stay in the present when we truly are enjoying what we are doing, in sports, works of art we create, being with family and friends, being in nature here we are present.

My grandmother use to say find the joy in all that you do then it becomes an act of pure joy….a very wise woman she was.

For each moment is precious, we should try to incorporate this into our lives day to day moment to moment.

When we are truly present we are honouring and respecting that moment our creator, our source, the Divine within. There is no worry in the moment; there is no anxiety no strife ….only peace, only calm. We become more aware and we are able to see with clarity all that is. As we practice this it will become more innate to our being as it once was.

In my day to day life with family with friends I am gently reminded by spirit to practice…this can come to us in many different ways through patience, listening and not becoming caught up in the story…just becoming the observer and witnessing. Some days are better than others yet we are practicing and forging the sword in the flame which eventually becomes stronger and stronger.

It will not happen overnight yet it will happen. In my work/passion I am a Certified Reiki Master and Hot Stone Reiki Therapist, Meditation Coach and Spiritual Reader. I

Frequency of Genius

By Daniel Mauro magine gathering seven of the most brilliant individuals in the world and listening to what they have to say about the nature of consciousness, energy, quantum physics, water, nutrition, health, sacred geometry, economics, environment, the earth? Everything in the universe, including human beings, is composed of a complex collection of vibrational frequencies. If we can gain a deeper understanding into how these frequencies operate and intermingle, then perhaps we can expand our own consciousness sufficiently to solve some of humanity’s most pressing problems. FREQUENCY of GENIUS is a new DVD documentary that features seven extraordinary men (G. Edward Griffin, David Wolfe, Jacque Fresco, Jonathan Quintin, Joe Marshalla, Gabriel Cousens, Nassim Haramein) who discuss their paradigm shattering teachings to open our minds to what is possible and to offer us totally new ways of being and living in the world. This scintillating film is organized into 4 categories: (1) The Awakening, (2) Water, (3) Mind, Body, and Spirit, (4) Economics and World Structures.

Spritz up Your Spirits with Hydrosols

H

ydrosols, commonly known as floral waters, are an underused ingredient in self care. It should be noted that not all floral waters are hydrosols, and not all hydrosols are floral! True hydrosols are a byproduct of the distillation process of essential oils. These can be the flowers, needles, peel, resin or other part of the plant which are left over in one of the distillation condensate tanks.

Unlike essential oils, which are highly concentrated, hydrosols are mostly water and can be used undiluted.

There are almost as many hydrosols as there are essential oils, each with its own characteristics. I often recommend neroli (orange blossom) and rose hydrosols to my customers who are wanting a facial toner or cleanser that is suitable for all skin types and mature skin. These hydrosols may be more commonly recognized in Middle Eastern delicacies such as baklava, where the sweet scent is delicately infused into the pastry. This leads me to another point: hydrosols are extremely versatile. They can be added to cooking (depending on the plant), to bathing, to humidifiers-the possibilities are virtually endless.

With three teens in the house, I am challenged to find skin care help that doesn’t come off the drug store shelf.

Commercial products can contain many ingredients that you would not want on your skin, including alcohol and preservatives to prolong their shelf life. I prefer to treat my skin care products like the food I eat: fresh is best! By using natural ingredients, anyone can design a personalized skin care routine. For the teens, we have found that cucumber extract makes a lovely, soothing facial mask for acneprone skin. Cleansing with sandalwood hydrosol is a gently scented treat and balances both oily and dry skin. It is also a great aftershave balm. Immortelle is one of my all time favourites for speeding healing. It helps with inflammation and is great in a post-sports bath.

I recently starting experimenting with ravensara hydrosol.

Ravensara has immune enhancing properties, so we are trying it out in my daughter’s humidifier to see if can help her dry cough. It would also make a wonderful addition to a soothing bath, or in a steam inhalation.

I would be remiss if I did not mention lavender hydrosol.

Lavender has skin cell regenerating properties and soothes burns and skin problems. I have eased the scald of a hot water burn by successive immersions in cool water, aloe vera and lavender hydrosol, and didn’t end up with any sign of skin damage.

June 2011

There are some hydrosols that I think would be a hit with kids. Spearmint’s fresh, bright scent always seems to appeal. It is useful for tummy troubles, fevers and congestion.

Imagine how wonderful a face cloth soaked in spearmint hydrosol would feel on a hot forehead. Roman chamomile is another “must have” for kids and adults alike. It is anti-inflammatory, so helpful in a compress for sore muscles, for example. It is very gentle for sensitive skin and helps relieve rashes.

These are but a few of the hydrosols and their uses; the best way to get to know them is to experience them firsthand. At Planet Botanix, we have a variety of natural ingredients and workshops to allow you to create your own fabulous, fresh bodycare. ©2011Heather Garrod is a Certified Aromatherapist and owner of Planet Botanix, 301 Bank St., 613.567.4444.

Why Try a Retreat?

D

oes this sound like you? Are you busy with work, kids, sports, chores, and personal interests? At times do you feel bombarded and like you can’t catch up? Does it seem as though you don’t have as much time as you would like, and life seems to be flying by? Do you put off doing the things you would like and say “someday”?

If you answered “Yes”, then a Wellness Retreat can do wonders for you. We all deserve rest, relaxation, exercise, healthy foods, meaningful relationships, knowledge, being surrounded by nature and breaks from the electronic world.

A Retreat can offer all of this! Retreats give your emotional, spiritual and physical body a break from your everyday hustle and bustle. It gives you an opportunity to rest and recharge. Retreats provide the space so that you can connect with the healing powers of nature, connect with who you are and connect with other great people. I recommend that people plan and try new things.

Don’t delay or put off having fun, exploring and growing.

Breaks in our daily routine should be taken several times a year. This can be as simple as escaping to a cottage or camping for a few days. Try to include: healthy food, rest, exercise, no meat, no electronic, meditation. Retreats with a friend, family member or spouse can be a great way to bond and connect on a whole new level.

It is also powerful to try retreating on your own. We need alone time and we are different when on our own. When you take time for yourself, and you are happy and healthy, this creates a love ripple effect to others and then eventually to the world!

Try a Retreat, I can guarantee once you do, you will love the experience, an eagerly anticipate the next one.

Death and Reiki

A

friend told me that she had a friend, Crystal, that had been diagnosed with cancer. I remembered Crystal from when I was a little girl – she had lived in my neighbourhood. She was the type of person that gave to everyone and was a champion for the underdog. It was a no brainer for me to offer Reiki to such a giving soul. I gave Crystal a call and asked her if she’d like to try Reiki. She didn’t know anything about it, but after a brief explanation she was willing to give it a try.

I visited her several times at the hospital. Each session brought her relief from the pain she had been enduring. She would tell me how she loved the warmth and gentleness of the Reiki energy. As I left I felt comforted knowing I was able to share Reiki with someone so willing and grateful.

She and I always felt better after the sessions.

A couple of months went by and one day as I was walking my dog, I received several signs and I knew that I had to go to the hospital immediately to see her. When I arrived her mother and aunt were in the room with her. They were visibly upset watching Crystal wincing in terrible pain.

They felt that they weren’t able to bring her much relief.

I asked her mother if she’d mind if I gave Crystal a little Reiki. Her mother didn’t know much about Reiki, only what her daughter had told her about her sessions with me.

Since she knew how much her daughter enjoyed receiving Reiki, she agreed. I was prepared and began to gently scan her body and immediately her face and body relaxed. A peace and calmness came over her. Her mother began to cry. She explained that she was so grateful to see her daughter so peaceful. I continued to give Crystal Reiki for about 30 minutes and then left the family together.

The following day I received a call to say that Crystal had passed peacefully during the night.

At the funeral her mother told me that she too received healing that day. She said witnessing the Reiki bringing relief to her daughter had brought comfort and peace to her too. The family was grateful and gracious for the Reiki experience; they would never forget it and never forget how peaceful their daughter was at the end of her journey here on earth.

I am always so honoured to be a part of anyone’s transition. It is a sacred experience for everyone involved.

Even if we feel that someone’s time shouldn’t be up, it is important to assist them the best we can with love and grace. Some people are afraid of dying and it is a blessing to be able to release some, if not all of their fears. They are moving on to another level of living. We may not be able to see them physically for now, but I do believe that we will one day be able to see them with eyes of truth and love.

It is my belief that when someone transitions, they don’t just die, go to dust and are gone forever. I believe that they are just beginning a new journey and that we will see them again.

What Your Nails Reveal About You

W

hy would I examine your finger and toenails, in between your toes, and the skin of your feet and legs under the magnifier as part of your health assessment?

Well, for many years before incorporating nutrition into my practice, I saw countless incidences of symptoms in these areas while I was performing treatments. Today I no longer practice hand and foot care, however my experience with treating the hands and feet became a catalyst in my quest to research why I was encountering the symptoms I saw in the course of my work. Currently I use many techniques to measure and observe while in the process of profiling an accurate health assessment, however I always incorporate a look at these specific areas, since they are often indicative of the larger health picture.

Fungal infections are very common; they are usually seen on the toenails, between the toes, and also so very faintly on the skin of the feet in small, concentric rings that they can usually only be seen under the magnifier. Along with a few or perhaps many other symptoms, they often indicate a connection to Candida overgrowth in the body. This is an informative trail to observe as it can answer many questions in the course of enhancing health.

Brittle nails can be a cause of iron deficiency. One symptom is not enough to determine this, however along with the brittle nails the deficiency can appear in a blood workup as anemia or just â&#x20AC;&#x153;low normalâ&#x20AC;? iron stores, along with headaches, dizziness and mouth lesions, to name just a few indicators. However brittle nails can also be caused by low calcium. 40 to 50 % of the population has this problem and it is often a case of low absorption ability.

The nail bed itself, itâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s colour and intensity of colour signify so much especially along with other symptoms that we might think are not at all related. White flecks have often been attributed to zinc deficiencies, but with further examination of other symptoms, Can lead to completely other sources.

Very often iron deficiency goes hand in hand with low B12 which can cause anemia, as well as many of the same symptoms as low iron. In addition, it can result in diminished stomach acid which directly affects our ability to digest food and adequately absorb nutrients, regardless of whether they come from food or supplements. B12 deficiency also causes cracking and splitting of the nails. Serum levels of low B12 occur in 25% of the population, especially in vegans and vegetarians.

Cracked, splitting and red cuticles can be a symptom of low essential fatty acid status.

There can be other symptoms that accompany this as well.

Zinc and vitamin C deficiencies can also manifest in the nails. 20 to 50 % of diets are deficient in vitamin C and 68% are low in zinc. Interestingly, both zinc and vitamin C are antioxidant champions, therefore their abilities to fight off free radical activity lends to anti-aging, wrinkle prevention, and low incidence of pigmentary issues. Zinc, despite being such a key nutrient in skin health, is unfortunately not highlighted enough. Keep in mind that there are many amazing ways to incorporate high amounts of zinc into the daily diet so that swallowing handfuls of vitamin pills is not necessary.

During your health assessment, each symptom is noted and then compared against a list of any other symptoms that may have a connection. This gives the bigger picture to a well rounded health profile. So we never assess and assume based on the nails alone.

That would be yet another reductionistic view held by so many alternative approaches. But it is safe to say that as we measure symptoms assessments, health profile, other diagnostics to one another, we gain more perspective on what is happening within.
