Bringing Grief out of the Shadows… Loss and Life Transformation
I
am stranger to neither loss nor change. Looking back and for as many years as I can remember, I have always encouraged people to pursue their dreams, letting no obstacle stop them from achieving whatever success they desired. The suicide of my daughter in 2005 robbed me of my dreams and the success I had envisioned for my life. It forced me to re-examine my purpose on the planet and will to go on. Yet, through my suffering, I never lost my desire to inspire others towards positive change, though the lens through which I came to view life transformation altered drastically. My first book Divine Healing brings to the public messages centered on emotional pain recovery after loss and suffering. The angelic inspired practice that is at the core of Divine Healing was the same one that helped me quickly come to terms with my life in grief. It gave me the hope I so desperately craved to go on and a renewed vision for my future. Understanding that anyone can become vulnerable to loss and difficulty, the central theme of my work is that we all have the power to transform our life in suffering to one centered in joy. We can all choose to want more than only struggle, as difficult as the journey can be to heal. With the right tools and guidance we can transform. The physical body responds to our state of mind. Our core beliefs (those subconscious thoughts that persistently compel us to experience life the way we do) remain central

to the level of success we can experience as healing souls (joyous people). We choose to either suffer or not. The success we attain in healing is directly related to the choice we make to accept our lives as they have become and commit to change what isn’t working. In order to transform your life in suffering to one centered in joy, it is essential to go within to understand the core beliefs holding you back from experiencing true inner peace and happiness. Healing is rooted in love. Millions of people suffer their pain in silence because of the pressure we all face in our culture to deny our vulnerabilities and because they do not believe they are worthy of love. The Divine remind us that healing requires that we live aligned with our truth rooted in love. Suffering is an illusion rooted in the ego, yet we all have chosen to suffer in some way. When we no longer desire to know pain, we seek the truth where authentic healing begins. It is true that the more honestly we connect to our pain, the more powerfully we heal. I chose not to deny my child’s existence on this planet, nor the fact her life ended as it did. This has helped me heal. My truth in part is as a bereaved mom. It may be different from yours. Yet in the same way, by connecting to your own hurt at the deepest level you will transform your life too. Transformation is lifelong. You don’t have to race against the clock or compete with others. Healing requires only that you do the best you can today with where you are right now. Join Vonne for a powerful life transformational workshop Sunday, March 25th at the Ramada Inn, Cornwall, Ontario from 9 to 4:30.

Five Easy Ways To Eat More Raw Food
Raw 101: Sprouting, Fermenting and More
By Sarah Ives
Sat, March 1oth 2 pm
Green Smoothie Breakfast in Minutes Try a green smoothie in the morning for breakfast. You’ll be delighted at how delicious and filling it is and how much more energetic you will feel with a light breakfast. Blend together a couple handfuls of spinach, two mangoes and a squeeze of fresh lemon juice with some water to blend. Lose Weight and You can even make this smoothie the Feel Great with evening before and refrigerate until Raw Foods! you leave in the morning. Before long, you’ll start to crave your morning green smoothie.

Learning to eat raw has never been so easy and fun!
2. Get to Know Your Greens Arguably, greens should be the fifth food group - get to know them by exploring your farmer’s market or health food stores. Add greens to smoothies (as mentioned above) or finely chop them and add to your regular salads, or make as a stand-alone salad by massaging some chopped kale with olive oil, salt, lemon juice, and throw in some diced tomato and avocado and you have a tasty and delicious kale salad. You’ll fall in love with greens in no time and your health will benefit substantially. 3. Add a salad to lunch, dinner or (preferably) both and watch your plate! The key to salad success and longevity (and actually enjoying it) is having a few fantastic dressings on hand. Then a boring salad is upgraded to mouth-watering experience. Try one of my favourites: blend a pint of strawberries with ¼ cup of cashews, an orange and 4 dates until smooth. Generously drizzle over a bed of spinach, thinly sliced red onions and mushrooms for a hearty salad in under five minutes. Make sure your salad takes up half of your plate and before you know it you’ll be eating 50% raw. 4. Juice your way to vitality. Sure, many of us went out, bought a juicer and went haywire for two weeks on the juicing craze back in the day but, this time, try it a bit differently: buy a new or used easy-to-use and clean juicer (I suggest Breville juicers) and become a master of the green juice, one of the easiest ways to get all of your daily requirements of veggies in one beverage (next to the smoothie of course!). Juice some greens, like kale or swiss chard, a romaine heart, a couple stalks of celery, some cucumber, an apple and a whole organic lemon (if not organic, roughly peel with a chefs or paring knife). Don’t want to throw out the pulp? Use it to thicken pasta sauces, give it to your dog (they really may like it – mine did!), or compost it.

5. Show some sprout love. Many of us likely remember being afraid of the soggy sprouts on our sandwich as a child and current news reports don’t leave many of us feeling happy about sprouts either but I dare you to rethink! Sprouts are the ultimate raw food and packed with more vitamins, minerals, enzymes and protein than you could imagine. Explore your local health food store for beautiful sunflower sprouts, pea shoots, or clover sprouts. Rinse your organic sprouts really well (dry in a salad spinner) and enjoy in smoothies, green juices, salads, sandwiches, or as a stand-alone snack. If you’re really adventurous, use sprouts in place of rice in your vegetable sushi. For those with children, you’ll be amazed at how much children enjoy a sprouting project. Bio: Sarah Ives teaches easy and delicious ways to include more raw foods in your diet.

Sri Chinmoy Answers
SELF-DISCOVERY through
Question: How can I purify my mind so that I can have a good meditation?
MEDITATION
SRI CHINMOY: The best thing to do is to feel every day for a few minutes that you have no mind. Say, “I have no mind, I have no mind. What I have is the heart.” Then after some time, say, “No, I do not have the heart. What I have is the soul.” You have to know that the mind is almost always impure, bringing in dark and bad thoughts. Even when it is not doing this, it is still a victim to doubt, jealousy, hypocrisy, fear and all that. All negative things first attack the mind. You may reject them for a minute, but the next minute they knock at your mind’s door again. At every moment challenge your mind. You be the boss of your mind. The mind will always try to create self-doubt and the mind never gives us joy. Even if it gives us a certain amount of joy for five seconds, after five minutes it takes away even more joy plus it brings unlimited unhappiness. This is the nature of the mind. But the heart is much, much purer, because affection, love, devotion, surrender and other divine qualities are already in the heart. Even if you have fear or jealousy in the heart, the good qualities of the heart will still come forward. But again, the heart is not totally pure because the vital being is around the heart. The lower vital, situated near the navel, tends to come up and touch the heart centre. It tries to make the heart impure by its influence and proximity. But at least the heart is not like the mind, which is always opening its door to impure ideas. Even better than the heart, is the soul. Here there is no impurity. The soul is all Purity, Light, Bliss and Divinity. When you say, “I have no mind,” this does not mean that you are becoming an animal again. Far from it! You are only saying, “I don’t care for this mind, which is bringing me so

much impurity and torturing me so much.” When you say, “I have the heart,” you feel that the heart has some purity. But when you say, “I have the soul,” you are flooded with purity. Then, after some time, you have to go deeper and farther and not only say, “I have the soul,” but “I am the soul.” The moment you say, “I am the soul,” and you meditate on this truth, your soul’s infinite purity will enter into your heart. Then from the heart, the infinite purity of your soul will enter into the mind. In this way you will purify your mind and your heart and you will be able to have a wonderful meditation every day.

When Authenticity Defines You
by Amâeil (Melinda Urban RIHR) Energy Psychotherapist, ThetaHealing Facilitator, Vocal Healing Channel
T
he days of relying on gurus or ascended masters to be your authority are now gone; you are your own inner authority. While others can guide you, the impetus to allow your authentic power to flourish and anchor can only come from you. There is no other place than your own inner Spirit from which the highest expression of you as love can unfold. When you allow yourself to be the empowered being that you truly are, you bring together several elements, which when combined, are greater than the sum of its parts - a synthesis that makes for a powerful creative energy. For your consideration, these are my inspired definitions of some essentials. You may add to this or clarify your own truth. If you feel called, for each contributing aspect, ask yourself, “In my daily living, how congruent am I with this?” Confidence and Conviction My source of security, approval, worthiness and wholeness comes from within me, and my trust in myself extends to certainty in my purpose and the courage to fulfill it. I am guided by clarity and wisdom. Vulnerability I am willing to be seen and heard in my truth, including the expression of my feelings, without fear of judgment. I am open with others and myself because to be otherwise is self-abandonment.

Living Truth I live in compassionate, neutral witness of illusions that distort or deny my infinite self – emotional triggers, projections, struggles for control, dramas, defenses, coping strategies, fears and limiting beliefs that keep me in contraction and separation – and take full responsibility for my healing, honouring all my experiences as opportunities for soul expansion. Fearlessness I live beyond negative ego as my reality, and surrender in trust, knowing that my experiences are always for the highest good of my soul’s growth, and that I am held by the Divine order of Creation and universal harmony. Vision I invest all levels of my being (physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual) in a captivating possibility, which is aligned with my soul’s purpose and Divine will, to intend it to manifest into my reality. My felt sense of this future-present creates focus and discernment in my choices and actions. Assessing the degree to which you are aligned with these elements would naturally lead you to also ask, “What needs to change in my life to bring myself into greater alignment with my definition of empowerment?” Then, to honour yourself, act on your discoveries. If you keep running into roadblocks, my healing services are highly beneficial in helping you to effectively clear your path. There may be many times when you, like everyone, are challenged to meet yourself in your power, so gently acknowledge that choosing authenticity is a conscious practice that you are doing your best to nurture. In addition, while there is intensity afoot, and perhaps a sense of urgency, to harness the potent, transformative energies of 2012, remember that a hallmark of authentic power is a rootedness in the now moment; there is no need to push or pull on yourself or others, daybreakcounselling.ca

What’s Happening To Me?
Sherry Harris, MSW, RSW, LM, Cert. Spiritual Counsellor
T
here are days when I feel that I am going mad. There are so many things changing in our world it is hard to keep up. The days are whipping by in a blur. Despite being in a whirlwind, I love that it is obvious our world is evolving and that the love element is growing stronger day by day. In this shifting process, all that is not light is dissolving to make room for the new healthy structures to emerge. This process is not an easy one to witness or experience personally. I can’t think of anything outside of myself that is like it used to be. Change is the new normal. And it doesn’t mean that change is not good, it simply is what it is. What is important is how we adjust to it and that depends on our attitude. We can resist, fight, be angry and defensive and or we can graciously accept the newness and find the gift within it. Life is moving forward and we are moving with it like it or not. It is far more comfortable to go with the flow and get excited about the changes than dig our heals in and grump.

Thank goodness all of these symptoms to not come together or all the time. How I have learned to take care of myself is first of all not to worry, secondly take time to rest body, mind and soul. Meditate, take power naps, plan more gentle activities into your schedule. Maybe even make an effort to find more time for yourself. As these strong vibrations of light move into us, all that is dense and needs dissolving starts breaking up and moving out of the system. This does not feel good, it fact it generally feels awful. As the congested, conflicted energies move out of our system we are likely to feel anxious, unsettled and exhausted. Just take care of yourself and allow yourself the time you need to heal. This too shall pass. Be patient and face the changes with courage and a good sense of humour. We are birthing a new humanity. What an exciting time to be here.

F or L ove of G O D An Intimate Journey
By David Abraham & Susan Veale BS.c A true story of a past love in a present lifetime Imagine being loved Imagine feeling love beyond the physical Imagine feeling energy that surrounds a human body Imagine the sensation when touched by Energy Imagine how peaceful life could be Imagine the possibilities “For Love of GOD – An Intimate Journey” is a story unlike any other. It is the experience of the journey between a man and a woman and the Energies of GOD. It is the story of David Abraham and Susan Veale; two ordinary people who rediscover a love as old as human time. From their journal, they tell how that precious love changed their present lives and the lives of others. Stories of love and GOD and channelled etherical information are not new. In this book what is new is how love … not money, power nor religion ... opened a dimensional gateway. Wanting to explore, David ventured forth and found himself speaking with various Energies and Frequencies within the GOD Consciousness, a matrix some call heaven, a place known to others as ... “all of space and all of time.” Fascinated with his discoveries, David began recording the exchange of communication. Many questions were asked and several hundred hours of recorded channelling led to the writing of a 368 page book; 200 of which are documented conversations between the various Energies and David. Much is written here about the foundation, humility and vastness of love. Readers say multiple readings of this book are not unusual.

This true story has its share of villains, secrets, tears and happiness but who would think that GOD would play a role in the struggle and loss of health that led David and Susan into a meeting of hearts? As David journeyed further into love, Energy revealed new information. David and Susan are told of their soul mate history; of soul relationships; of past civilizations they have lived in and why they were brought together in this lifetime. Energy told of what healing possibilities await humanity within love. Energy also wept words over cancerous paths, planet sustainability, institutional blindness and global chaos. David asked why he was chosen to write this book. Energy said, “It is time — time for people to read of your downfall so

GM or No GM?
A
nd I’m not asking whether or not you’re buying a GM car. A much bigger question is “Are you willing to risk your life eating GM (genetically modified) foods?” If you believe Monsanto, the world’s largest producer of GM seeds and the herbicide Roundup that fit’s hand in glove with them, genetically modified foods are THE answer to the world’s food shortages. In fact the gigantic claims made for GM crops such as increased crop yields, the control of pests and weeds, and reductions in agricultural chemical use have just not materialized. In fact, just the opposite has occurred. Herbicide use has increased. Herbicide-resistant super weeds have been created along with uncontrollable crosscontamination and a reduction in crop yield. If you read product package labels you realize that organic ingredients are listed right beside genetically modified ones. Sadly, in North America we do not have laws that require GM foods to be listed. So in Canada if you see soy, corn, canola, or beet sugar or any of their derivatives on the label and you don’t see organic or nonGMO beside them it’s almost certain the ingredient is genetically modified. If you value your health and that of your family, here’s why you should be concerned. Any increase in pesticides, herbicides or fungicides in your body is increasing your already heavy toxic load. Once your body reaches its saturation point, it will overflow just like a cup and you will get sick. In May 2011, a study reported in the journal Reproductive Toxicology showed Cry1Ab, a type of Bt toxin from GM crops, has for the first time been detected in blood samples in humans and fetuses.
Upon testing 69 pregnant and non-pregnant women who were eating a typical Canadian diet which included GM foods such as soy, corn and potatoes, researchers found Bt toxin in the blood samples of 93 percent of pregnant women, 80 percent of the fetuses and 69 percent of non-pregnant women blood samples. As you know toxins cause inflammation along with immune system dysfunction, while chronic inflammation is the root cause of disease, especially diabetes, heart disease and cancer. Besides, studies show that GM foods permanently alter the good bacteria in your digestive system which may be why so many people today have digestive issues. According to Jeffrey Smith, author of Seeds of Deception: “There’s already plenty of evidence that the Bt-toxin produced in GM corn and cotton plants is toxic to humans and mammals and triggers immune system responses. The fact that it flows through our blood supply, and that it passes through the placenta into fetuses, may help explain the rise in many disorders in the US since Bt crop varieties were first introduced in 1996. So here are three action steps to prune GM foods out of your diet, strengthen your immune system and cut down inflammation. Action Step No. 1—Choose to avoid foods that are genetically modified. Action Step No. 2—Take ASEA to replace your bodies depleted stock of redox signalling molecules which fight inflammation and strengthen the immune system. Visit www.

Dr. James Oschman on Quantum BodyTalk
D
r. James Oschman, a leader in the field of energy medicine, has been fascinated by the scientific descriptions of the BodyTalk System. He presented the below presentation (summary) on Quantum Physics and Quantum Medicine entitled, “What is the body, where does it come from, and how does it talk?”, at last year’s International BodyTalk Association Members’ Conference. “Explaining this varying approach to life and health to others can be challenging because of the ways our thinking has been influenced by the dominant materialistic paradigm. A number of breakthroughs have challenged this paradigm and forever changed our perception of ourselves and the world that we inhabit.” “On December 14 1900, one such breakthrough occured when Physicist Max Planck presented findings about the nature of matter to the German Physical Society meeting. His discovery was totally contrary to the accepted notions at the time, which were widely viewed as a triumph of logic and reason and a “means to understand all of nature”. “Max Planck’s upsetting presentation led to the birth of quantum physics, and the end of an era in which physicists knew that they could confidently fathom all of nature’s mysteries. From Planck’s discoveries arose an uncomfortable awareness that our basic concepts, our language, our whole way of thinking, are inadequate to describe the world which we live in. This change in awareness of relationships has altered every aspect of our reality.” “There have been attempts to establish a Quantum Medicine, but it was not until Quantum BodyTalk that the discoveries in Quantum physics became part of the daily reality of many healthcare practitioners and their clients.”
What is BodyTalk? A consciousness-based, nondiagnostic, holistic therapy that works to re-synchronize the body’s energy systems so that they can operate as nature intended. It is based on pure science: 1) Quantum Theory, which explains the nature and behaviour of matter and energy on the atomic and subatomic level, and 2) Dynamic System’s Theory, which describes how the part functions as one with the whole. According to Quantum Physics, we all have probabilities and possibilities to decrease the stress and pain in our bodyminds and increase our health. I’ve had a small benign growth in my brain since I was born that has caused some undesirable effects. Lori told me that with BodyTalk treatments the growth might disappear. Imagine my surprise when a recent MRI didn’t find the growth, and only after looking more closely did the technicians spot a calcified area where the growth had been. Public Servant, Ottawa How does a BodyTalk session work? The practitioner consults innate consciousness to find the factors that are contributing to ill health, e.g. emotional, environmental, dietary, physical, via muscle testing and their own innate wisdom. A mathematical formula/morphogenic field, comprised of wave forms, is created that represents the bodymind’s new probabilities for health. The practitioner observes the client’s unique formula and introduces a catalyst that superimposes the new energy field over the existing one. The catalyst is a standing wave (soliton in physics) introduced by tapping over the brain, to make it aware of the changes suggested, and over the heart, to store the changes within the biggest electromagnetic field in the body. This causes a wave form collapse in the initial energy field, followed by changes to the bodymind’s cellular and related structures (matter follows energy). This method heals issues on the physical, energetic, mental and supra-mental (sub-conscious) levels and is the most profound way to bring about increased balance to health in the bodymind. Lori Hollohan M.A. is a Certified Advanced BodyTalk Practitioner and also a Hatha Yoga Teacher. Lori works out of a BodyTalk office within a healing arts house at 484 Gladstone Ave. (at Lyon St) and is able to provide insurance receipts for her clients.

DEFENSIVENESS Pt III
CREATE CLOSER LOVING RELATIONSHIPS
By Marlene and Bob Neufeld
I
n the last two issues of TONE magazine we have been exploring non-defensive reactions. We shared how different statements can cause more or less defensive reactions based on our sensitivities. We also shared what our teacher, Gay Hendricks, has taught us about learning to hear even critical comments as just a thought and a puff of air. We explored how the act of defending ourselves actually solidifies the comment and makes it real. But there’s something even more important we all need to know. The very best reason to drop defensiveness is that each time we lock in on a position (such as defending ourselves against a thought or utterance like “You’re stupid”) we clinch around it – and this clinch stops the flow of connection. Crazy as it may sound, the other person probably wouldn’t say, “You’re stupid” unless he or she had some desire to connect with you. The other person – that annoying entity who’s telling you “you’re stupid” – is usually trying to communicate with you in some way, and that’s the best (albeit flawed) way he or she knows how. And often they aren’t actually saying these words, but we imagine they are saying or thinking them and then we are reacting defensively against our imaginings. Marlene may say to Bob, “Has the basement been cleaned yet?” She may think she is asking a question without any blame or criticism. Or she may want to appreciate Bob for the task. She may even be ready to offer to take on some of the task.

If Bob hears this as “why isn’t the basement cleaned yet?” and gets defensive, the flow of connection that Marlene was hoping to create will be lost. Bob may say to Marlene, “those pants look tight on you.” He may be expressing concern about how comfortable the pants are, he may be offering to buy Marlene a new pair of pants, or he may even like how tight they look. If Marlene hears this as “you’re fat” and gets defensive, the possibility of connection is lost. So we recommend that you get curious before you defend against a statement. Or catch yourself in your defensiveness, acknowledge it and then get curious. Ask yourself questions like, “what do I believe is real here?” or “what is my partner trying to communicate” and “how can I be loving and creative with myself right now?” You might want to ask for a “time

The Mandala of Your Life
Our modern world excels in offering us a myriad of forms which we are told will lead us to live longer and happier lives. The list of socially acceptable religions, therapies, medications, self help remedies and all manner of consumer goods designed to increase our communication and enhance our appearance is impressive and may be confusing to anyone interested in discovering who they REALLY are. Fortunately wise people in all ages have left us some useful tools in case we want to go further than the latest I Phone can take us in knowing the truth about life. One of these is the mandala. It has been used by civilizations throughout time to help people make sense of the known world and to probe the depths of their individual and collective subconscious. The most basic mandala is a circle which represents the unborn child or the new life. During our lifetime we fill in the details and define how our mandala will relate to those around us. In a very practical way mandalas are all around us. Clocks and calendars for example, help us to organize our daily activities. In THE MANDALA OF YOUR LIFE the author, Dr. Keith Willcock blends storytelling,psychological insight, and metaphysical teaching to help the reader understand the mandala they are living and how they can overcome obstacles that may be preventing them from living the highest and best that they are. The book is widely illustrated with mandalas from the lives of students who have worked with Dr. Willcock over the years. Guidelines are given on how to help readers interpret their own mandala and meditations and psychospiritual exercises offer a way forward to Self Realization. As one student put it,” Understanding my own mandala was like taking a tumor out of my head that said,’you’re crazy’. I was able to step back, observe my life and realize that I am not crazy at all.” For more information on Dr. Willcock’s work go to his web site at www.keithwillcock.com.

Dampness in Chinese Medicine By Steve Ryu, L.Ac.
I
magine for a moment a farmer’s field in the countryside that’s green and rolling. With the right amount of sunshine and rain, the field produces healthy crops. In fact, when it rains, the plants in the field are nourished and turn a little greener and grow a little taller. But then it rains some more. And it keeps raining. After awhile that field becomes saturated. The moisture settles in puddles in the low spots, creating muddy areas. The plants in those muddy places become stunted and eventually the roots rot and they die. This beautiful and productive field isn’t so healthy anymore. It’s become Damp. In many ways your body is like the farmer’s field. You can also become damp. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, excessive dampness is a major cause and consequence of disease. What is dampness? There are two kinds, dampness external to the body, and dampness within. In the body, it is not exactly one pathogen like a bacteria or virus. Rather, the term is generic and basically refers to all liquids and oils not adequately metabolized. The nature of dampness is to moisten and nourish, but also to clog and obstruct. It is intimately related to digestion, and when it gets to be excessive, it can initiate, or by itself be the source of many health complaints. The big deal about dampness is that in your body it can create symptoms. Dampness can be the dark cocktail behind achy joints, swelling, edema, yeast infections, shingles, and diarrhea. Furthermore, body dampness that sits around tends to congeal and become phlegm. But the bigger deal about dampness is that fat is considered damp tissue. Every single obese person has some degree of dampness. Generally, the more overweight they are, the greater the degree of dampness. If that’s not bad enough, most people who are seriously overweight are also dealing with phlegm issues in the form of chronic sinus problems, asthma, and postnasal drainage. Where does the damp comes from? Dampness can come from the environment, like living in England or a basement apartment. However, usually dampness is a digestive issue. In Chinese medicine, Stomach and Spleen are the organs most responsible for digestion. The Stomach takes in the food and begins the digestive process. It’s then sent to the Spleen to sift and sort; taking the good stuff and turning it into the nutrients that your body needs, as well as eliminating the stuff your body can’t use. When your digestion gets funky, one of the most common issues is that your Spleen has gotten bogged down and become damp. If that’s the case, you may have symptoms like a poor appetite, nausea, loose stools, lots of stomach rumbling, and an overall feeling of heaviness. Essentially, your Spleen’s ability to absorb, sift, and sort fluids has broken down. It’s a little like having puddles in your body or constantly wearing wet clothes. Then does how and why Spleen get bogged down? It can happen from stress or strong emotions upsetting your digestion. However, more often than not, it’s because you’ve

(Get Out Of Your Own Way And…) Release The ‘Inner’ Songwriter!!! Nigel E. Harris BA (music conc.)
Have you ever listened to a song on the radio and thought to yourself “I could write a better song than that” ? – well, chances are you could!!! Here’s how I came to that conclusion I grew just outside Liverpool, England, the musical centre of the universe in the ‘60’s, surrounded by the most fantastic music on the planet. As kids we mimicked our ‘idols’ but saw ourselves as ‘users’ of music not ‘creators’. While attending university, in 1975, for engineering in London, England , I met a lady who wrote poems, and I added music on my guitar. We knocked around some ideas, but I never really placed much value on our efforts, stashing the manuscripts away, in a brown paper bag. Years later, in 2004, whilst studying music here in Ottawa, I would ‘reverse engineer’ old Beatle’s songs, as a break from our heavy classical music analysis, and quickly came to the conclusion that the material was just to advanced and sophisticated to have been produced by these young, musically untrained lads, from working class Liverpool. I figured that they must have had some ‘divine’ assistance. In 2006, I worked alongside seniors with advanced dementia, guiding them through group songwriting sessions while they expressed what they were feeling that day. They would write a song very quickly and I remember thinking, “Wow, if these guys can do this, the rest of us have no excuse!” Recently I found a song I wrote about my collaboration with the poetry lady in 1975. After playing it, I was surprised that it was such a good song, and amazed that it had lived in an old wrinkled, brown paper bag, overlooked for close to 40 years. This inspired me to attend a local songwriting workshop where I was asked to read a children’s book and write a simple song based on the book. I began to jot down some words and then the music just ‘flew into my head’. I performed the finished song to the group with exuberance and self-confidence. I had never had music ‘arrive’ like that before. Now I write effortlessly, supporting the universe to co-write with me. Lyrics, and melodies come continuously, requiring me to always carry pen and paper. I have a regular, committed twice-monthly recording session at a local studio and I am presently immersed in laying down tracks for my second album of mostly original music. So why am I sharing all this with you? Well, I now see that the reality of songwriting is simpler than I had thought it was in my youth! I now see that, if you can write a letter, an essay for school, a report for work, a text message or even tweet, you are totally capable of writing a song! Songwriting skills and techniques can be learned by anybody but our own restrictive limiting thought patterns have to be overcome to allow the creative juices to flow. It’s a paradigm shift to see ourselves as songwriters and not just consumers. We need to get into ‘play’ mode to return to a time when we were, in our youth, fearlessly ‘in action’ without sitting in judgment of our fledgling efforts, hence shutting down the process. It’s quite simple really; we just have to get out of our own way!

PLEASE NOTE: A few more books may be available free at SFC events and new energy balance exchange evenings are now on first Fridays, next one is Friday, March 2nd, 7-9. Thur Mar 1 (7:15 - 9 pm) Talk: Nigel Harris -- GET OUT OF YOUR OWN WAY AND ...RELEASE THE ‘INNER’ SONGWRITER. The main three ideas I would touch on would be: 1. Song writing is really simple -childs play, we just have to get out of our own way and get into action. 2. We need to declare ourselves as songwriters, changing our perception of ourselves by reinventing ourselves. 3. The more we excercise the songwriting muscle the easier it comes. I will review the basics: Why write songs? What first, the lyrics or the melody? Basic standard music structures We will write songs as a large group, as a small group, individually and people will leave with their own original songs.

Meditations on love and light
By Reza Shadman had a beautiful experience a couple of months ago. Forced to face my fears I called onto Divine Mother and Angles for help with all my being. Sitting in a coffee shop, I felt the currents of love flowing in my body (God in Tim Hortons?!!!). Fear disappeared, there was a complete sense of acceptance. No need to forgive, everything was forgiven. I was at peace with all. I was relieved and somewhat surprised to experience so much acceptance. I felt this is the promise of 2012, unconditional love more available to everyone. Everyone agrees that meditation involves quieting the mind and being present to find the plenitude within. Taking a walk in the nature, sharing a good laugh in the company of friends or simply finding peace through a medium such as art are all meditative acts. Meditation, to me however, is a conscious and direct attempt to connect to the God within. The challenge is to separate from the chaotic outside circumstances to find this centre. To recognize that “we are always loved”, instead of “we are not good enough.” No matter how tumultuous one’s life is, the currents within are always calm and readily available. Meditation is the practice of shifting the focus from unwanted thoughts and emotions to this infinite supply that is love and light. With this shift, the thoughts change, the old habits and patterns of mind change, and “when you correct your thoughts everything falls into place.” Rumi, the great Sufi-poet, wrote that “he who has wondered off from his roots is bound to seek his home again.” The difficulties and pain we are experiencing are only signs guiding us to seek our inner light, our true home. Meditations on love is a seven week guided meditation course designed to build or strengthen a steady meditation practice, starting \with a free introductory session on Monday March 19th, at 6pm. No experience is necessary, only sincere intentions. Reza Shadman is a meditation instructor facilitating the connection to the divine self since 2007. His journey started 10 years ago when he experienced a kundallini awakening and witnessed the light and love within. You can know more about him at www.healandlove.com,or contact reza.shadman@gmail.com, 613 829-0677.

T
he integration of love, death and immortality in our lives seems to go against the present social convention of selfreliance, efficiency, determination and active living. Yet if we take time to slow down for a moment, thought it may seem to interfere wit the momentum of our lives, we may be surprised to discover, that our life is not quite what we had hoped for. Although we are involved in a series of of socially correct events, deep down in our hearts they do not reflect happiness and fulfilment in the way we long for. What is it that really touches us?

he water is the truth of the world. If we are teaching the water is the truth of the world we are all water bearers. The water we carry is inside our mind body and heart and we are told this water is a ritual. We are carrying the water as a ritual. The ritual is not how we carry water. It is not when we carry water. It is not what we carry water in. The water is not here to be explained to anyone. It is not here to be in the moment and to teach itself to anyone. It is not here to be invited by anyone. So the water is not given to anyone. The water is existence. It is truth which is existence. So the water is existence and we are the water bearers who do not give the truth to the water in the well which is water which is granted to the well and we did not know this water was a well or a well of water. There is no well and no water when we speak. There is nothing but words in the air. So the water is granted to us who do not speak. So the water is not given to the well when we do not speak. So the water is not granted to us when we do not speak and do not know what is water. It is water and the water is existence. So this is the first teaching of the water which is not taken to the well. The water is not in the well and it is not well water. It is not water which is in a well when we go to the well with water.The water we carry is not water. The water we bring is not water. It is not water to hold water and to bring water. It is not helped by us. The water is not water and it is existence. So the existence is not going to go the well and teach the well what to do.The well is not waiting for water to arrive.The water is not going to teach a well what it is . It is not here to teach the well what
the water is. It is not here to do anything. So there is nothing to do. The answer. The answer is that we cannot bring water to the well. The answer is no doing. It is not doing this which is exclaiming to us what life is. It is not life if we are doing it. Life is not doing something. So life is not doing something when life is itself. Life is the answer we have been given. So the answer to the question of DO NOT CARRY WATER TO THE WELL, IS that water is existence and then it is not brought to the well. The well is already in the state of knowing itself so the water is not going to fill it up. The answer is that the well is already filled up and we did not know this until we brought the answer to you. The water is in the well and we did not know this. We know what is spoken but not what is unspoken. So it is taught that a dharma teacher cannot speak the unspoken and the unspoken cannot speak. So there is nothing to say. There is only a teaching of the dharma and the true teaching of the Way.

Ottawa Veg Fest back for its fourth year on April 29 By Pamela Tourigny hanks to the tireless efforts of the National Capital Vegetarian Association’s volunteers, Veg Fest is back for 2012. Last year the NCVA hit it out of the park, and this year promises to be bigger and better than ever. In 2011 the event attracted nearly 3,000 people, and the Glebe Community Centre was bursting at the seams. But this year, the NCVA is taking it to the street. “It was actually Ottawa Mayor Jim Watson who put forward the suggestion that we close off a street, and expand Veg Fest that way,” says NCVA President Josh Flower. “The Glebe Community Centre is a great venue for Veg Fest, and we wanted to keep holding it there. So this is a perfect solution!” Veg Fest will be expanding outside the GCC, into the street, as well as across to the school across the street. Guest speakers will have an expanded venue, as will food demonstrators. This year, Veg Fest will take place on Sunday, April 29, between 10 a.m. and 5 p.m. There will be guest speakers (stay tuned for announcements). There will be food
T
demonstrators, including Rogers Television’s Kathy Smart and Credible Edibles’ Judi Varga Toth. As usual, Veg Fest is a free admission event, and there will be loads of fabulous exhibitors and free samples. There will be a cow, a carrot, a pea, and a planet earth walking about for photo ops. A silent auction will once again raise money to support the NCVA’s activities. And this year, the NCVA is introducing a 31-day vegan challenge, which will launch at the Veg Fest. Veg Fest offers a great opportunity for everyone—veg or not—to experience the veg lifestyle, and to learn about the many benefits it offers, including benefits to human health, our physical environment, and the lives of animals. It’s the last benefit that Josh Flower holds close to his heart. “It makes me feel at peace to live in accordance with my values, and I want everyone to feel like they can be a part of that,” he says. Veg Fest is title sponsored by the Table Vegetarian Restaurant, and supported by many local veg-friendly business. It is 100 per cent volunteer organized. Planning is still underway, and announcements will be made as the big day draws near. Follow the NCVA blog for all the details: www.ncva.ca/blog

The Essential Spiral
Ian Prattis y book “The Essential Spiral: Ecology and Consciousness After 9/11” is out of print and very expensive for the remaining copies through Amazon. So I have refined and updated the ms into an E-book for the modest price of $2.99. It is on Amazon Kindle at: http:// www.amazon.com/dp/B006ZBQ0W0 If you are so moved, kindly leave a review at the Kindle location. Key Words: Ecology; 9/11; Thich Nhat Hanh; Mindfulness; Deep Listening; Paradigm Shift; Sweep of History, Guidelines to Recreate Our World. This book was written as a text for my television course on Ecology and Culture, which re-considers how our modern culture relates to its environment. After the terrorist attack on the World Trade Center on September 11, 2001, I could no longer write this book in the way I had planned. The environment that all cultures have to adapt to is one framed by fear, uncertainty, hatred and fanaticism. At no time in history has the lucidity of the peacemakers been more important. I propose a meditative base for activism and renewal as the recreation of our world requires a radical change in direction which involves shifts in human consciousness. The Essential Spiral insists that Ecology and Consciousness are inseparable, akin to the double helix of DNA. To separate the double helix eliminates life. The same portent applies to Ecology and Consciousness. The terrorist attacks on September 11, 2001 changed the

Terror seizes the mind, our deepest fears amplify it. Wise teachings about the mind bring spiritual warriors to the fore, to champion peace, environmental care, and non-violent reconciliation. The skills and methods of cooling anger, of dealing with the terrorist within, of putting the brakes on anger’s translation into deadly harm, are found in meditation traditions with practical down to earth exercises. Eco-psychology, traditional ecological knowledge, and globalization are brought into a discussion of events that take the reader on a sweep of history towards the reconfiguration of our global order. This is the 21st century. New models and understandings must be cultivated through the art and science of mindfulness, to avert the collision course between fundamentalist Islam and western hegemony. Concrete proposals for a paradigm shift are provided. The illusory assumptions of the global order shattered after 9/11. This enables a radical rethink about leadership, ethics, and responsibility to usher in a Consciousness Revolution for the 21st century- a new mind. We are at a major threshold for our civilization. Radical shifts in human consciousness are needed to transform the world and make it habitable for our species. Professor Wautischer of Sonoma University has this to say: “A gifted storyteller, Prattis opens the reader’s mind and heart with touching narratives from his own life experience and from carefully selected literary masterpieces from various traditions. At the end of each chapter he guides the reader into a meditation. Fear transforms to courage, anger to compassion; doubt becomes joyful wisdom as the beauty of imagery guides meditation practice toward a realization of compassionate strength. Such vigor is certainly needed, since the complicity between corporate and political elites disregards the planet and its peoples. Against all odds, compassionate mindfulness is a contributing factor in the evolution of consciousness to empower incorruptible leadership that emerges from increasing populations on this planet who practice their wisdom. The Essential Spiral combines facts from the sciences, politics, and spirituality to present a realistic road map for a gradual transformation of community-based capitalism and personal awareness. Prattis has done a commendable job of outlining a sustainable ecosystem and providing meditative exercises that will strengthen the compassionate resolve for the next generation of political leadership.”

Dancing Fools: The Joy of Sacred Circle Dance
By Janet Burn ave you ever wanted to “dance like no-one is watching”? To be your complete, innocent self, full of joy and free of self- judgement? To just “be” in the moment, fully in the present, without chattering thoughts? This is one of the ways I experience Sacred Circle Dance: when I am dancing, nothing else matters, just the joy or depth of what I am feeling. I’m a dancing fool! Since the steps of Sacred Circle Dance are often simple and repetitive, taught each time, the familiar patterns become conducive to relaxation and even meditation. No experience or partners are required: with dancers holding hands on either side of me and the circle moving as a unit, there are no worries about being watched, making a mistake, or getting it “wrong”. We are supporting each other, relaxing into the rhythm of being together. Circle dance is one of the oldest forms of dance on earth. It was danced around fires, and it brought people into community in village squares in many parts of the world. They danced naturally in a circle to celebrate the return of the sun, celebrate the harvest, and mark life’s passages. Today, through circle dance, we continue to align ourselves with our ancestors and with the cycles of nature and life, dancing with the journey of the sun across the heavens, the moon through her phases, and the seasons of the earth’s fertility. This reverence for the cosmos is part of what makes circle dancing “sacred”. The shape of the circle – so oft repeated in nature – is also considered sacred. Dancing in a circle brings us together equally in a shared intention of celebrating beauty and companionship. Many of us find that we are

spiritually moved and deepened by the experience of the dance. Sacred circle dance is at once simple and profound. It is also great fun, with an eclectic mix of music from all around the world. Dances can be gentle and reflective, or lively and energetic. This Spring, much beloved and internationally renowned circle dance leader and creator June Watts is coming to the Ottawa area, for a weekend of dance to celebrate the playfulness and joy of the season. During the weekend of April 20-22, at the Carp Ridge EcoWellness Centre, June invites us to be “Dancing Fools”. April is the time of fooling, when things get turned upside down and the earth is opening to release the beauty of spring. The Fool too yearns to break out of hiding and dance joy in the sunlight. The “Dancing Fool” is all innocence, spontaneity, trust, childlike wonder. She is blissfully uninhibited, for the “Dancing Fool” is the innocent spirit that came with you to earth, the child of eternity hiding at the core of our being. Through carefully chosen sacred circle dances – ancient and modern – June Watts will allow our spirits to soar and grow, for she is known for the joy and depth of her retreats. June has been teaching dance since 1982 and now travels world-wide. She is one of the few who met and danced with Bernard Wosein, the extraordinary German ballet master who is considered the founder of Sacred Circle Dance. For information and registration for the “Dancing Fools” weekend, please contact Barbara Carter, rbcarter@bell.net” rbcarter@bell.net. Early bird rates apply until February 29th. All are welcome at the monthly dances of the Ottawa Sacred Circle Dance community at the Westboro Masonic Hall. For information contact Sheryl-Elaine, sherylelaine@gmail.com, tel. (613) 726-2026.

The Awakening Revolution Would the Universe Really Create Life to be so Effortful?
By Jennifer Hough – Best Selling Author, Intuitive and Creator of “Get Out of Your Own Way” an’t we simply awaken to who we are without spending lifetimes in analysis, excavation & Karmic jail? Is it all about lessons, or can we actually just Create and enjoy? How do I find fluidity? The world and our personal worlds are moving so quickly now that long processes, using pain to catalyze growth and setting intentions are seeming too slow. Asking for peace in our lives and on the planet is giving way to a completely new paradigm of transmutation instead of transformation. Our spiritual evolution started with the idea that thoughts have an impact on our lives, success and future. It evolved into affirmations, visualizations and intentions. That gave way to programs to assist us all to transcend beliefs. All beautiful modalities……and humans keep asking to go beyond, so the Universe keeps responding. We are experiencing the results in 2012 & beyond. What if we could change thousands of thoughts at once simply by awakening on a visceral level to who we are - that which the Universe saw we were before we got here & more? In this great awakening we are being asked by life to take those thoughts, beliefs, cultures, religions, ideas about love and paradigms and see if they make sense any longer. It appears we can go kicking and screaming, or we can simply go! As a result, the Universe is revealing new ways to wake up beyond what we’ve known. What if: at the centre of every one of your 60 Trillion cells, is the essence of who you are? …you could activate that essence on a cellular level? …at the end of every DNA strand were
C
telomeres with sending and receiving antennae connecting you to your own infinite innate wisdom - to anything you need to do or know in every moment? …that you are a piece of the puzzle of Heaven on Earth? …that sense of urgency you is your connection calling you forward into that Heaven on Earth? Awakening is about the activation of the truth of who you are on a cellular level. For the most part it transcends the need for over contemplation, as it is a physical experience. The ‘activations’ will bring up the old stuff, only to have it transmuted by the higher frequency that you have just embodied. What if as you activate the light that you are, it transcends the darkness? How much time would you spend in analysis, contemplation and density? That’s not to say that examining our pasts is not helpful sometimes, it is more to say that there is another way presenting itself that is more congruent with the way the Universe works as we come into 2012. Fluidity and expansion at their best. Join Jennifer Hough (Best Selling Author, Speaker and Intuitive) for a special evening of Activations and an experience of your Awakened Self.

CAPRICORN (December 21 – January 19)--Every sign has its cycles and this is a powerfully positive one for you. Get ready to start your engine and go. AQUARIUS (January 20 – February 17)--If you have been bursting with ideas that you are trying to share with others, review and retool your message. Wait 30 days and then go for it.

The summum of life
In a world presently in chaos where everything seems to be falling apart, the clear and peaceful path is within us
H
ere we are, going into a new phase of change. Look around you, and what do you notice. Disease is apparent, loss of jobs, relationships, families breaking apart and different levels of depression. All of these challenges gives us a chance to decide whether we want to live the same way or uplift ourselves to a new level of expression. It all comes down to one thing: know who we truly are and to love ourselves. The challenges ask us many different questions: Are you denying yourself , are you lying to yourslef. What do you truly want. Are you choosing to be a victim or will you take charge of your creations? Are you at the mercy of others or life itself? Will you let go? Those questions comes from your spirit and seek answers. Can you imagine a life where people love themselves and each other with such a respect that judgment, principles, patterns fall away and finally we are all free to be and to let be. Well, this is where the new energy of 2012 is carrying us. This has been going on since 2007. This is why I accept the challenges that come my way, which opens my heart to expand in unity with life everywhere.
Still Point Yoga Retreat Centre
Discernment is essential to differentiate was is ours and what is not. Chaos is everywhere on the planet. It’s not about you. Don’t make it yours. Be an observant while deciding who you want to be and where you’re at. What is going on needs to be. If you really listen inside yourselves, you will acknowledge that you have asked for change. Everyone of us wants to be free, wants to know love, wants to stand together. At the soul level, it is our grandest desire. This new year and the following years will fill us with hope of a new life filled with joy. For some, there will be moments of great awareness and for others, who will go against change, it will be chaotic and confusing. Some will even leave the earth plane. And you know what, it doesn’t matter because it is not about you, unless you make it yours and you give it attention. Choose to harmonize and balance yourselves by listening to your inner antenna that always knows what you need. Take some alonetime, be good to yourselves and mostly, be aware of who you are now, in this present moment. What is most important in the year to come is to deepen your understanding of self for the purpose of spiritual growth. • Connect your soul-self and be guided towards the transformation, love and respect of self. • Free yourself of the dramas of life, learn to interact with life’s experiences • Take to time to find the answers to your life’s biggest questions • Choose to evolve and grow in the new consciousness • Transform chaotic situations in order to connect with your inner light • Choose to awaken and expand your consciousness by feeling what is inside. • Recognize your own power and learn to us it wisely • Become responsible for the choices you make, be true to youself and become the master of your life. This is possible and accessible. Choose, decide and experience. Linking the mental and the soul in order to expand our consciousness is the necessary steps to love ourselves and to love another. Where love resides, harmony exists, and fear diseppears. Be tolerant of one another. Compassion makes us accept what others are going through. Let us hold hands and walk together to the light of a new era.

From Near COLLAPSE to a Sustainable Energy-Powered Future
by Daniel Mauro rotecting the environment, creating sustainable energy systems, and “going GREEN” have become hot topics in today’s radically changing world. Speaking Visionaries is screening three riveting, award winning films on the themes of peak oil, renewable energy technology, and electric cars. “COLLAPSE” (Saturday, MARCH 17 @ 7 pm) “Michael Ruppert is a former L.A. police officer turned independent reporter who predicted the current financial crisis...at a time when most Wall Street analysts were still in denial…Especially passionate about the issue of PEAK OIL, Ruppert doesn’t hold back at sounding an alarm [about our future] despite fierce opposition…He views the [ongoing] economic crisis as nothing less than the collapse of industrial civilization itself.” T. Powers, Toronto Int. Film Festival What Reviewers are Saying
P
and Ottawa local, David Chernushenko,...has taken the extra special step of installing solar panels to off-set some of the energy consumed by his family home. Now, if he could just be allowed to feed some of that energy back into the grid...[David takes us] on a compelling journey to examine the alternatives to conventional energy...Tackling the spin of the big energy lobby and...dispelling myths of a ‘green utopia’ envisioned by many, POWERFUL is a candid examination of what a sustainable energy-powered future may actually look like.” (Excerpt from Official Site).
“REVENGE of the Electric Car” (MARCH 31 @ 7 pm) “In 2006, thousands of new electric cars were purposely destroyed by the same car companies that built them...less than 5 years later, the electric car is back...with a vengeance. In ‘Revenge of the Electric Car,’ director Chris Paine takes his film crew behind the closed doors of Nissan, GM, and the Silicon Valley start-up Tesla Motors to chronicle the story of the global resurgence of electric cars. Without using a single drop of foreign oil, this new generation of car is North America’s “ ****! “ * “Superb! Riveting! Grade A” * “Critic’s Pick! Shockingly future: fast, furious, and cleaner than ever.” (Excerpt from persuasive…unexpectedly moving * “Grade A! Mesmerizing.” * “Every time I’d start to think Ruppert was a deluded crackpot, he’d Official Site). reel me back in...” * “Makes Michael Moore sound like Mr. Rogers.” What Reviewers are Saying
“’Revenge’ is that rare artifact, a snapshot of a major industry shift on its way to a tipping point...” * “An entertaining roller coaster ride...well shot and sharply paced (with) genuine human drama.” * “Fascinating and highly entertaining - with an irresistible cast of characters...and unprecedented access to the inner workings of GM, Nissan, and Tesla Motors.” * “If you liked ‘Who Killed the Electric Car?’ you’ll love this…it’s everything the first one was, but better...!”
* “Riveting! You can’t take your eyes off him.”
“POWERFUL: Energy for Everyone” MARCH 24, 7 pm “We’re hard-wired to a conventional energy system that drives our transportation, powers our communications and is the lifeline to industry and commerce. We know this system is depleting our resources, polluting our air and affecting global climate change. Guaranteed access to energy is no longer being taken for granted.

A Case of Energy Healing
by Laurie Fraser Female, 46, Human Papillomavirus (HPV): here is no conventional cure for HPV (although genital warts – a common symptom -- can be removed in various ways). It is generally accepted that the body will remove the virus on its own within 2 years. This client was not willing to wait. First session: 1- B.O.S. anxiety procedure 2- B.O.S.: Fear of - strangers (heart) -not being able (genitals) -experiencing love again (kidneys) The organs were balanced, stuck emotions removed. 3- Facade healing. Archangel Gabriel came to remove the facade of sadness. I see the energetic facade as a grey body cast. I pray and crack the facade open. Then I step aside while the Divine Teacher or Archangel who has arrived does the rest of the work. Second session: 1- B.O.S. structural corrections: pelvis, ribs. 2- Reconnective Healing. 3- Pillar of Light. I’ve always used this technique to remove entities; this was the first time I’d been guided to use it to remove a virus. I built the pillar of light around the client and called in Archangel Michael. I “opened” her navel and I saw little black specks rising from her and disappearing up the light channel. Using muscle-testing, I learned that 37% of the viruses had been willing to leave. I thanked them for choosing healing. Third session: 1- Comprehensive Healing (Taught to me by Jesus; he always attends.) I went into a meditation to find the place of unconditional love and ‘All is One’. Soon I was surrounded by stars and then became like a star myself, or perhaps just a light. I looked down to find the client—she was tiny, but I could see her in perfect detail, and I picked her up and put her in my left palm. I placed my other hand over her so that she was cupped in my hands. I observed colours coming out of my hands bathing her in lights: first blue, then green, then black for a long time. I peeked between my hands wondering if it was over but then an awful yellow colour appeared around the genitals that made me feel nauseous. When the yellow disappeared, she was bathed in white light. She disappeared; in a way, she became light itself. Eventually, I placed this light into her physical heart as she rested quietly. It was 4 more sessions before the virus was completely cleared from her body. At times, we had to clear something apparently unrelated, such as emotions associated with a divorce. She is now symptom-free and the HPV filter muscletests “no”. I believe the reason BOS works so well is that the client’s energy leads the way and chooses the most appropriate healing path. I make no decisions on my own.

Certified B.O.S. practitioner Holographic healing Facade healing Comprehensive healing When healing I communicate with the clients’ energy by muscle testing (kinesiology). This gives me direction and sets priorities. I muscle test through lists of options: hundreds of B.O.S. procedures, façade healing, holographic healing, Reconnective Healing, Comprehensive Healing and various hands-on techniques. B.O.S. (Biocomputer Operating System) is based on the premise that the body heals itself when energy is flowing harmoniously. Created by Harvey Steel, 40 years ago, B.O.S. developed from the old and the new: acupuncture, Body Alignment TM, T.B.M. (Total Body Modification), and N.E.T. (neuro-emotional technique). It addresses physical, emotional, structural, chemical, and spiritual issues (addiction, insomnia, allergies, depression, infections etc.). I give thanks to my guides and teachers and to Archangel Michael. Laurie Fraser is a teacher, writer and certified BOS practitioner. A session is $65.00 (sliding scale). Call 721-3781.

Journey Through The Rainbow
I always enjoyed colouring when I was a child, and I still love immersing myself in colour. I guess that’s why I love travelling to warm destinations in the winter. There’s something totally liberating about leaving the dull, drab, black, white and grey scenery of Ottawa and stepping off the plane to a warm tropical breeze and a warm, sunny landscape strewn with beautiful colours everywhere you look – the pristine turquoise sea, the lush green forests and mountains, the vibrant colours of the clothing worn by the locals. I’m always reminded of the movie Pleasantville. In the movie Pleasantville, the characters change from black & white to colour as they discover the richness of emotions. Likewise, colours can have a profound impact on our emotions. Every colour has a different vibration, and we can experiment with colours through the clothes we wear, the foods we eat, the sheets we sleep on, and decorations/paint in our home. Wear a bright sunny yellow sweater on a bleak winter day and watch how it boosts your own morale and brings a smile to those around you. When you prepare food, do you find yourself constantly gravitating to the same colours every meal? Mix it up a bit and see if your mood changes! Have you ever noticed that there is no such thing as naturally-occurring blue food? Everything with the word “blue” in it is actually indigo, like blueberries, for instance. The lower chakra colours (red, orange and yellow) have traditionally been considered to be “warm” colours that stimulate blood circulation, while the upper chakra colours (green, blue, indigo and violet) are considered to be “cool”, calming colours. So, if you are having trouble sleeping at night, you might try changing the colour of your sheets to a cool colour. Have you ever noticed that many fast food restaurants are painted orange? There is reason for that – the second chakra is associated with the sense of taste, so the colour orange makes people want to eat.
If you really want to try something different, try taking a bath in different colours to see how you feel when you are immersed in each colour of the rainbow. The Colour Energy Corp. sells individual packages of bath colour that are ideal for sampling. You can find them at Serendipity Books. One of my favourites is orange; I feel like I’m sitting in a tub of jello. Come with me on a Journey Through the Rainbow, from March 7 to April 18. Every Wednesday evening, we will explore a different colour of the rainbow, from red through violet, using all of the senses. We’ll talk about the chakra associated with each colour, go on a guided visualization, then let our inner child out to play as we create a wonderful work of art (with pastels, acrylics, markers, pencil crayons or wax crayons), all the while munching on snacks and drinking beverages that match the colour of the week. The cost is $175 for the entire series of 7 workshops, or $30 for a drop-in session. Tammy Smith is a certified Reiki Master, Life Change Facilitator and Angelic Wholeness practitioner. She offers individual reiki/angelic wholeness sessions and facilitates various workshops including Journey Through the Rainbow, the Elements of Nature and Perception is 9/10 of the Law.

The High Heart Extra-Terrestrial Connection By Kerry Palframan RN
B
ack in 1997 when the movie The Titanic was released, I knew of the 7 major chakra’s but was not terribly familiar with the 8th chakra or high heart chakra. I was soon to learn that the movie The Titanic was a pivotal moment in our earth’s history as this allowed for the opening of many peoples high heart chakra. When I saw the movie The Titanic something amazing happened. Not only did it open my 8th chakra (located over the thymus gland between the throat and breast bone) but it also began to connect me with galactic beings or extraterrestrial beings. I realized the necklace from the movie The Titanic (a heart shaped turquoise coloured necklace that rested right over the high heart) was a symbol for the high heart chakra and its opening. This movie engaged viewers with a new emotion – the emotion of connection with the mass consciousness of others. Many cried as their own high hearts opened and connected them with, not only the humanity of this world, but of the other worlds as well. I began to spontaneously connect and experience my extra-terrestrial friends and family in other dimensions. I met my mother, Immeldaxander, my mate, Veetar and my sister Valenteena. The sweet pain of their love was so intense that I cried for 3 days. The love was beyond anything of my human experience – a different, deeper and broader type of love. I did not want to stop feeling this intense love and I simply wanted to “go home” When the high heart opens and you connect to all of humanity and the realms of the unseen, you too will be swept away in a tide of high emotions; it is sweet and it is painful at the same time. The high heart has been opening and closing on humans since the mid to late 1940’s. It is now pretty much integrated in all people born after those years and is fully integrated in all those born after 1990. If you can remember back to 1997 and 1998 when the movie The Titanic was playing, see if you can conjure up what it felt like to be back in the theatre or your home and watching the movie for the first time. Likely your high heart fluttered open for a moment and you felt some new experience, some new emotion. Creator reaches It’s Hand through mainstream media in an effort to help us evolve and expand our awareness. So be more mindful in the future of TV, commercials, movies, books, news and Internet to witness how Creator brings us messages to help us move forward in our lives with consciousness and awareness. Always benevolent, kind and gentle in helping to open our eyes and our lives to what is beyond our conscious awareness. Right now, our mass media is bringing us news of more and more extra-terrestrial and UFO contact. It slowly seeps into our culture, just as chakras, Reiki and alternative medicine has over the years. Your high heart is now open and ready

An Invitation to: Finding Peace, One Thought at a Time with Layah Weinstock, MHt. Facilitator for “The Work” of Byron Katie
M
y father and my mother were survivors of the holocaust of World War 2 in Poland. My mother’s family was dwindled to half with the death of her parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles, a brother and sister. My father’s extended family was reduced to less than 6 members. No one from his nuclear family lived to be liberated. How does one go on after such devastation? My parents each found their own unique coping methods. My mother survived on bitterness and anger. She would speak of how the war had taken so much from her and left her in constant physical pain. Life had wronged her!! Who could argue with how right she was to be angry and depressed. She suffered so - for her entire life. And then there was my father. I remember him waking every morning with a smile on his face, eager to get to the day. He seemed to live his life through his heart, experiencing the joy in each moment - in spite of what he ‘lost’... On his deathbed he declared that he had been successful, since he loved everyone and everyone loved him. It was true. He found peace. When I asked him how he could forgive the unforgivable - the destruction of his family, his response was so simple: “They have taken all that they are going to. It’s my choice to live joyfully now.” These were such simple words, yet they were so far beyond my reality. I was too busy finding the injustice in my life: from having been kidnaped when I was 6 years old, to wearing the righteous label of being a child of holocaust survivors, to two messy divorces - followed by a custody battle. I was right!!! All agreed!!! I was entitled to suffer!

But, I ‘knew’ it could be better. I spent years in the social sciences looking for an answers, from research at university to becoming a Master Clinical Hypnotherapist. I worked with some of the most marvelous, talented therapists who, given my ‘history’, always confirmed how ‘normal’ it was for me to be depressed and angry. I had every ‘right to suffer’, and it was getting very tiring. With “The Work” of Byron Katie I began to understand what my father knew - suffering was a choice. Having attended 3 of her schools - staffing two of them, I can now see how powerful choosing peace can be. With this simple process that Katie offers (through her school, programs, and free of charge in her website www.thework.com) I now can find the peace my father experienced. It can be my choice live each moment in Peace or filled with suffering. With “The Work”, I am learning to let go of the suffering. As Byron Katie says: The great thing about the past is: it’s over. And it’s ALWAYS my choice on how to live now...

An experience that is fluid, free and experiencing all aspects of self to levels that were never By: Franco DeNicola experienced before. e are going through a time of great change that is It all starts within each of us, the changes and setting free affecting all aspects of our human experience and needs to occur first within us and then it will be reflected in the world. We are for the first time completely changing the collective and world. We need to look at all that has defined way we experience life. A life we have adopted as the us and in turn, confined us. All our beliefs, perceptions, way it is. Our true nature is not what we have and are concepts and programming, project our experience and experiencing. The systems that were created and we have in turn shape our world. Where we are born, our culture, supported is not in alignment with our true nature. Our true religion, what we observe from others, education, protocols nature is not one of fear, survival, struggle, lack, separation picked up from our environment and media. Have all shaped and conflict. We are beings that are communal, supportive, our view of the world and the way we conduct and feel about sharing, playful, creative, loving and peaceful. We are free our self. Now lets take a look at what I said before. All of it flowing beings experiencing life through our human body is made up to play a specific game. But the game is not to be and mind in expressive ways of play, in order to learn from static and unchanging, when we are naturally about variety our experiences and to achieve higher aspects of our essence. and change. As much as all has served, we are now choosing The world is a playground and schoolyard. All that we have to free ourselves and play as our true nature. experienced and created as a way of life has served for us to As these changes are occurring, what seems as discomfort, experience duality and separation. In other words, experience unfamiliarity and fear, may appear. This is because we have that which we are not. But all of this is changing now; it is a adopted the belief that change and the unknown is to be long awaited change. feared. In a sense we have temporarily given up the ability The changes taking place are creating alignment with our to embrace change and the unknown. When really we are true nature. We are changing emotionally, physically, and all about change, fluidity, spontaneity and playfulness. The mentally. Changes are also occurring with the landscape of process we are going through is not meant to be difficult, it our playground and schoolyard, we call earth. We are going only seems that way when we hold on to what needs to change. through a shift in consciousness that will completely change We are entering a new world and human experience that will the way we will experience what we call life. We are creating not support the old experience and limitation. It is not about a new human experience and world that is in alignment with fixing and changing what is here now, but an all-new creation our true nature. that has no limits or structures of the old world in place. We This will involve looking at all that we have created and are free to enter a world that is waiting for us, where all are adopted as a belief system and way of life and completely considered and one with one another, as well as with nature, letting go of all the stories, rules and perceptions we have animals, ocean creatures, insects and the planet. It will be taken on. When we step back and look at it, everything is a playground where we share with one another, there is no just made up to play a specific game we have called life and a lack, we are truly free, while experiencing peace and our true way to conduct ourselves on the planet. We are like children capacity of love for all of our creation. The shift into oneness in a playground making up rules, in order to play the game. consciousness is to support that experience.

Successful Strategies for A Good Night’s Rest sleep (sl p) Definition: A natural periodic state of rest for the mind and body
H
ow many times have we all been told how important it is to get a good night’s sleep? Especially during the winter months when nature itself is slumbering and the animal kingdom has gone into hibernation mode? But what if, despite our best efforts and intentions, we just can’t get that much needed rest and repose? More than 50% of adult Americans experience insomnia symptoms on a regular basis. Despite the fact that we consume an excess of one and a half million pounds of tranquilizers annually, on average, we sleep 20% less than our ancestors did. This is an issue of deep concern, as the body does much of its healing and repair work during sleep. As well, it is only during deep nocturnal rest that bone marrow and lymph nodes produce vital substances that empower immune response. Common causes of insomnia include chronic stress, tension, depression, and anxiety; an “inability to turn off the mind;” excessive caffeine consumption, especially in the afternoon and evening; pain; hypoglycemic, or low blood sugar; excessive salt and/or sugar intake; deficiency of B complex vitamins; nicotine or other drugs; asthma; indigestion and toxic liver overload; and too high copper levels. A few tips to promote healthy sleep patterns: • Keep meal sizes moderate, especially at dinner time. • Enjoy a glass (up to two for men) of organic wine at dinner for minerals, digestive support, and relaxation. • Employ stress reducing techniques, such as yoga, tai chi, meditation, acupuncture, and hypnosis. • Exercise in the morning, outdoors if possible. Also consider a constitutional walk before bedtime. The habitual exposure to solar, as well as lunar, rays helps to keep circadian rhythm (our built in body clock) regular. • Increase magnesium, a known muscle relaxant and stress reducer, via nutrient-rich foods like green leafy vegetables and whole grains, or whole food magnesium supplements. • Consider homeopathic support. Coffea (30CH or 200CH) for a mind that won’t turn off. Nux vomica (30CH or 200CH) for overindulgence. Kali muriaticum (6X or 12X) for nervous tension, depression, irritability, and tension headaches.

Set the scene for a peaceful night’s sleep. Make sure your room is dark and quiet and your bed is comfortable. Sometimes placing a pillow between your knees can alleviate any back issues, if this is part of the problem. Buckwheat pillows and other contour pillows can conform to the shape of the head and lessen stress on the neck and shoulders. Practice deep breathing and visualizations to relax and calm the mind. Stretch out the limbs and let go of the accumulated tensions from the day. If you find yourself worrying about what occurred today, or wondering what tomorrow will bring, keep a journal beside the bed and write the thoughts down. Then release them, knowing you have a record of them. Diffusing essential oils can also help relax and soothe the spirit. Marjoram and ylang ylang are two oils that also relieve high blood pressure. Valerian has an excellent reputation as a sleep inducer but unfortunately has an unpalatable aroma on its own, so blend it with a little sweet orange before diffusing. Another way of using the essential oils is to blend 5 drops of essential oil of choice in 15mL of carrier oil( ie olive, sweet almond or fractionated coconut oil which is less greasy). Apply to the soles of the feet (and along any cracked heels for added benefit!). You can also use this method in a relaxing warm bath before bed. ©2012 Heather Garrod, Certifed Aromatherapist and Kristin Shropshire.Traditional Naturopath/Registered Nutritionist.

These experiences provided the foundation for what would eventually become her life’s passion – education to clients and new practitioners, about a natural approach to a healthy lifestyle. While living in Belleville in 1960 she became the Superintendent and lead educator for the St. John Ambulance Corps. The year 1968 marked a turning point in Dorothy’s career and life. From her international travels she identified the need for a stronger Canadian awareness of natural health remedies & other health disciplines, which she saw being used effectively in other countries. She then traveled on a dedicated basis to learn and study a wide range of natural health disciplines.

Meditation: It Is Darkest Before the Dawn By Shambunata
It startles me the intensity of my ignorance when I am over-due to practice the yoga. It is like a 360° blind spot which engulfs me as a fog of fatalistic pessimism. These dull feelings, when contained by spiritual effort, will catch fire like dry tinder and fuel the spirit through our long dark nights. Do not believe the “forever” feelings of evening. The morning will soon come. Tantra is a science with methodical ways to allow travel into ever deepening regions of the self. These steps when performed in sequence give reliable consistent results. Do not take the responsibility for invoking the lofty goals of inner peace and realization by your will alone. In humility and trust, merely perform the instructions that are given. The mind, like a child, will mature upon natural lines when raised by mediation.
68
If you are not performing some type of premeditative exercises there is a good chance you are largely meditating upon your tension. Performing simple yoga postures such as seated forward bend for 5 minutes followed by slowly rotating every set of joints are highly effective ways of achieving wakeful introversion. When commencing meditation make special efforts not to rush through the initial settling in phase of the practice. Much power and richness within meditation is lost due to a body that has not been fully settled into stillness and awareness. After meditation register the rich detail of your inner and outer environment, surveying the mind as it re-emerges into daily life. In time, the heightened experience of meditation will be carried into the rest of our lives as an expanded state of sustained liberation. It will happen. Our dawn, complete with its warmth, light and constant creativity will be birthed from the womb of our darkened interior. To this there is no doubt.

What to Expect During a Reiki Session with Alexis
W
ell, the best advice I can suggest is that it is best not to expect anything. Keeping an open mind allows you the chance to enjoy a unique experience with no preconceived expectations. Reiki is a holistic practice that works to incorporate the mind, body and spirit. Rei means Universal Light and Ki means energy. When practicing Reiki I connect with this infinite power, allowing myself to be used as a channel in order to provide healing to others. Reiki energy is used to help increase the natural flow and rebalance energy centers (chakras) in the body. As an example, the 5th/Throat Chakra is located where its name states, in the throat area. This area represents communication and self-expression, as well as the physical area, the neck, tonsils, lymph nodes, etc. During a session, the client will lie down on the Reiki table (fully clothed). They are encouraged to relax. The Energy flows mainly through my hands and I am intuitively guided to different areas of the client’s body. They may feel a variety of sensations, the most common being; heat, coolness, tingling, magnetic, emotional and/or relaxed. The energy works with your individuality, hence everyone’s experience will be different. Sometimes I receive visual images. I share these with the client for their own reflection. They might not have any meaning for me, but usually they will mean something deeply personal to the client. These messages I receive are meant to guide the client inward, to gently remind them of their own healing abilities. Once I was working with a client and this vision of barbed wire kept coming to my mind. My first thought was “stay away”. Because it persisted, I hesitatingly described what I was seeing. Her eyes began to tear as she explained how she and her father used to put up barbed wire fences together when she was young. This was his way of letting her know that he was still there for her. Healing can be instantaneous or may take several sessions. It all depends upon how deeply rooted the illness/dis-ease is. After a session it is wise to drink plenty of water to wash out any toxins that may have been released. The effects of Reiki can continue well after the session has ended. They can even be life changing.

Leave Your Chair Without a Creak by Removing Immutable Beliefs
Knowing that you can decide what beliefs you’d like to hold, you can free your body from creaking by purging old beliefs from your bones. Here’s a tool for releasing immutable beliefs, called Bone Breathing. Sit quietly and let your breath be slow and low in your body. Imagine that as you breathe in, you breathe light into your bones, and as you breathe out that light flushes old beliefs from your bones. With every breath in you bring light into your bones. With every breath out you release. The light releasing flushes through your bones, carrying away whatever needs to go. When you feel you are done for now, take another breath or two to flush anything that needs to go from your body, to detox. This type of tool is more effective when used for one or two minutes at a time. If you’d like to do more, use it more often rather than longer at one time. Releasing old beliefs that need refining can free your body from creaking. It can remove creeping from your thoughts to allow room for positive thinking. Freeing up your bones helps your joints.

Blessed Himalayan Sea Salt By Lisa Virtue
I
magine immersing yourself in a warm bath. Feeling the soft, smooth water melt away the day. But this bath is so much more. Your nerves calm, your mind settles, your skin luxuriates. Ahhhhhh. Somehow this feels more peaceful than usual. By the time you’re done, which you’ve delayed as long as possible, adding more and more hot water to prolong the bliss, you find yourself feeling rejuvenated, with a calm vibrancy. This, my friends, is the magic of Himalayan Sea Salt. My first encounter with it came after a shamanic healing session. The healer recommended a bath with these salts as soon as was convenient. I have never had a better bath in all my life. It lasted 3 hours! I felt so amazing that I didn’t want to leave. Pruning finally motivated me out. If you have had any form of energy healing session, you are likely familiar with the need to go easy afterwards and be kind and calm with yourself. Major shifts can sometimes leave you feeling a bit depleted, or it may take a little while to come back around to feeling in full vigour. Having a soak with Himalayan Sea Salt will work wonders on your energy fields. For me, I felt the slight discombobulation fade away, my mood lift significantly, and my energy completely rejuvenate, while remaining calm. Needless to say I was hooked. In fact, tired of looking for the best retail source to recommend to my clients, I decided to provide it myself. The pink Himalayan Sea Salt from Right Path Healing is of premium quality and food grade. I carry fine grain, as it dissolves faster in water, and you’re not left with chunks at the bottom of the tub. If you feel like putting some in the saltshaker while you’re at it, it will fit there too.

Himalayan Sea Salt is known as the purest, most beneficial form of salt available today. It contains trace amounts of up to 84 minerals and elements which are essential to human life. Mined in the foothills of the Himalayas from a primordial sea that evaporated over 250 million years ago, the salt is extremely pure and free of contaminants and pollutants. It is unprocessed, unrefined and untreated. A few of the myriad uses and benefits of Himalayan Sea Salt that contribute to overall health are: • Table / cooking salt • Sole (so-lay) solution (used like a tonic) • Soaking bath • Netti pot solution • Detoxification • PH balancing • Skin replenishing • Soothes and revitalizes energy system after a healing session
With a little internet research you can find many more uses, benefits, lab analyses, and books on the subject. Of course it’s always best to check with your doctor if you have health issues that could be aggravated by salt. To further enhance the benefits of the salts sold at Right Path Healing, the Angels and I have instilled a great blessing into them. I will also customize further blessings for your particular needs, if so desired. Lisa Virtue is an Energy Healer and Angel / Spirit Communicator with her office in the Glebe.
