Have you cleaned yourself today?

e wash our bodies, brush our teeth, do cleanses and detoxes for our organs, perform ritual fasts, but what do we do for the flow of energy in our body. Within our body there exists a black energy and a white energy. The black energy is not a bad energy, it is a natural energy we all have, but it is an erratic energy, a nervous energy, very dependent on external factors. On the other hand, the white energy is a much more subtle energy. It has the quality of calmness and groundedness. Ideally we want these energies to travel through our main pipes in our body. The East Indians call these pipes the Sushumna. However, very often these energies only travel through the small pipes due to blockages in the main pipes. These blockages are what we call disease. The first step in helping yourself is to get the energy flowing through your pipes. This can be difficult if you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t know what it feels like to have the energy flowing, or not flowing due to blockages. One of the purposes of this seminar is to allow you to

613-761-9642 (YOGA) www.pranashanti.com

feel the flow of the energy and the blockages of energy. The instructor, with over fifty years of experience in energy work will help you on a one to one basis feel the energy flow. The goals are to clean the main pipe and

to teach you to keep it clean on your own on a daily basis. The benefits are endless and will aid greatly in achieving a more calm and balanced state of mind and emotion and therefore a physically healthy body.

Newfoundland was the wonderfully refreshing characteristic called authenticity. It is a characteristic that is in short supply in our modern, fast-moving urban cultures. Computers and so-called “social networks” de-humanize interactions and turn people into objects. Many young people actually believe that emotions can be expressed through e-mail and text messaging. Instant gratification supplants patience and sensitive relationship-building. Marketing hype and unleashed pretension swamp the media. The focus changes from what a person ACTUALLY wants to what they think or believe they want. Humility seems to be the first cousin of authenticity. It creates a space in which a person can identify with others and relate with them in a meaningful way. Humility is not the same as humbleness. Humility is “straight out”, and maintains an individual on a level playing field with others. Humbleness often involves putting oneself down. Humility is the complete opposite of arrogance. Arrogance is a way of putting others down. Arrogance is one of the most repugnant of human traits. Humility is the anti-dote to arrogance. It takes great emotional courage to face arrogance with humility. To be authentic all the time also takes immense courage and fortitude. I am honored to work with many couples at the depths of human emotional connection, including

Q. Would you consider someone like myself to be stuck in a destructive pattern? A. Without directly addressing your personal issues, there are many ways to work on patterns that we have developed which hinder our life and it is worth finding ways to help free ourselves from them. A personal commitment to our emancipation is essential. When we are ready we can access our great potential to move in any direction, hopefully a path to a more positive future. As a Certified Hypnotist, I find that hypnosis helps on many different levels simply because it empowers us from deep within by first clarifying our objectives and then it helps us move in that direction. Hypnosis at its very core helps with willpower. It helps us to access our deeper will and empowers our deeper, subconscious mind. I have seen remarkable results in so many ways, whether it be to lose weight, to shift perspective to live a more peaceful, balanced life or even to conquer addiction. So yes, hypnosis can most likely unstick us from a destructive pattern.

cashier had noticed what I did and was inspired to do the same. It made for a fulfilling moment, and I believe that we all came out quite inspired and maybe even more satisfied from this interaction which could have gone either way... to be continued... Lynne Cardinal is a Certified Consulting Hypnotist with the National Guild of Hypnotists, holding additional certifications in Hypnosis Innovative Techniques and Weight Loss. She is certified by Dr. Weiss in Past-Life Regression and she has a PhD in Eastern Philosophy from India. In person and Skype sessions are available to clients. Lynne has offered Stress Management, Resilience and Burnout Prevention workshops in the government and private sectors for over 30 years. Insurance receipts are available.

Q. What do you consider is our relationship with the physical world around us? A. I believe that we are in constant relationship with the world around us, knowingly or not. Our actions and our state of mind affect the environment. I am of the opinion that our world needs kindness and love, so I make a point to express this whenever I can. Recently, when shopping at a major retail store, a lady asked me for help. She was loud and authoritative. She seemed to think I worked there, which I did not. However I sensed her pain and decided to engage with her. So we talked

he more I come into alignment with my own Divinity, the more clearly I am able to see that we are beings of Light living in a construct of complete illusion. The consistent challenge is to function within the illusion, to work with it while at the same time cultivating an absolute knowing that none of it is real. The healing work I do with clients typically uncover beliefs held at subconscious levels that we are guilty, that we are unworthy, and that we deserve to suffer. It is this mass consciousness belief in suffering that is the main pillar of the illusion. Healing sessions reveal this human belief to be incredibly far-reaching; often the client is regressed through millennia of lifetimes to off-planet origins that long pre-date the present Earthly incarnation. Further, the process reveals that we are not only products of conditioning and imprinted experience but that we have actually been seeded, programmed to believe in suffering. It would seem that human existence is a form of planned suffering. Forces that feed upon this suffering are highly invested in generating more of it. On a grand scale, it is as if we are slaves, stripped of our Divine memory and all but completely disempowered by the illusion. We are told that we chose this experience in order to learn and grow. We hear time and time again that we are Spiritual beings having a human experience. That is our confirmation that we are living on a holodeck. Okay we get it, but what is the way out? How do we free ourselves from illusion? The first step must be to accept the fundamental truth that we are Light. All people come from Light and it is to Light that we shall return. We are beings of Light, created by Love. It’s not possible for us to be anything else. Love is all around us. We do not need to seek it. We only need to seek what blocks us from perceiving it. It is the belief that somehow we are ‘bad’ and that we deserve hardship, isolation and pain that turns us into victims and locks us into cycles of abuse. As long as we experience ourselves as victims, we are capable of misusing power. A victim acts only on behalf of himself or herself, not the good of all creation. They do so because they are fearful and must defend themselves. Victims do not feel supported by the Universe, which leads them to harm others. The beautiful golden frequencies of Honey Calcite can help us to wash our hands of cycles of wrongdoing. It is a stone that helps one to step out of the illusion of victimhood and into Divine alignment. Honey Calcite is a wonderful stone for those who are causing harm from a place of fear or unawareness. It can assist in refocusing

one’s actions and agendas from a platform of personal gain to one that can benefit all. It is also helpful for those who fear stepping into their power because they don’t trust themselves, don’t want the responsibility, or have abused power in past-lives. Honey Calcite is even amazingly effective in stimulating a more spiritual orientation in those who are intentionally manipulating and exploiting others and the planet. Honey Calcite is a stone of self-trust. It can be especially good for people who have suffered any kind of abuse. It breaks up old the old patterns of suffering and victimhood while at the same time helping one to take responsibility and reclaim the power they have lost. Further, it empowers one with the motivation and confidence necessary to act on their Divine guidance and aspirations. Honey Calcite’s mission is to help the good people of Earth feel deserving enough to move beyond the grand illusion of suffering to reach their Divine potential.

4 Key Attitudes for a Happy Life

appiness is one of life’s simplest ideas, yet it’s sometimes difficult to come by. You’ve probably gone through times when you wondered why your life is less than happy. Seekers of happiness sometimes overlook basic ideas. Ensure you possess these four key attitudes in order to make happiness yours: 1. Be positive. Having a positive view on life is an effective way to ensure happiness. Although you’ll have difficult times, there’s usually a positive outcome or lesson to be learned. • Make an effort to overlook the negative aspects of a situation. It’s unlikely that you’ll be able to change what happened, but you can definitely decide how to respond. • Positive thinking gives you confidence to go after your goals. Consider the times you’ve doubted your ability to do something. How often are you able to succeed when you doubt yourself? • When you think positive, you’re able to hold your head up, regardless of the situation. You know that your future is rarely defined by what happens to you in the present. • Embrace positive thoughts and watch happiness come your way! 2. Be grateful. It’s sometimes easy to overlook the blessings in your life. Negative circumstances can cloud your vision. But when you possess an “attitude of gratitude,” you’ll find that happiness pushes you through the gloomy days. • Even when a situation has a less than favorable outcome, avoid dwelling on it. Instead, be grateful for the experience. Now you’ll know how to proceed the next time. • Make time during your day to meditate on the things that you’re thankful for. You’ll notice that at the end of that session, a sense of relief takes over you. That relief represents happiness from knowing that you’re truly blessed. • A grateful attitude helps you be satisfied with what you have, instead of wishing you were in someone else’s shoes.

• Approaching others with a heart of kindness allows you to deal with situations without getting angry. Happiness thrives in the absence of anger. 4. Be forgiving. It’s easy to let feelings of hurt and anger affect your desire to forgive others. But it’s necessary to forgive in order to live a truly happy life. When you forgive, you let go of your pain. Letting go makes room for peace of soul and mind. That peace leads to happiness. • Practicing forgiveness helps you to grow and lead a happy, mature life. Growth and development poise you for success and joy. These key attitudes to living a happy life seem simple enough. Try practicing them one at a time until you’re comfortably happy with your progress. Eventually, you’ll be able to experience the kind of happiness you previously thought only existed in fantasy worlds! Moira Hutchison, Mindfulness Coach, Tarot Card Reader & Energy Healer 613.432.1239; www.WellnessWithMoira.com Have you ever noticed that when we feel stuck we become the expert of everything that does NOT work... The truth is that in order for a problem to exist - the solution must also exist! To get started feeling *unstuck* hop on over to www.WellnessWithMoira. com and sign up for Step One of “The Get Unstuck Method” - it’s free!!

3. Be kind. Many of us misunderstand kindness. True kindness is often experienced when you sacrifice something you have and want to meet someone else’s needs. • How many times have you been truly kind today? You’ll recognize true kindness from the warmth you feel inside after sharing something material, or even a kind word.

Help on the Journey: Psychics, Mediums and Intuitives By Rev. Nicole Moronval

whether you will win the lottery, or whether you should make that long-planned move. They should not diagnose illness in your body, and they should not prescribe remedies for your physical ills. However, they may point out the challenges or karmic patterns in your relationships, they may note the financial trends in your vibration, and they may differentiate between the energy of your current home and the energy of the area you plan to move into. But the final decision is yours to make.

t is a fairly common experience, in the New Age community, to seek out guidance from those who are connected to the other side of the veil. Although they are sometimes thought of as being the same, psychics, mediums and intuitives all have their own unique approach to channeling nonphysical forms of guidance and each can provide valuable insight when Where Love is the Journey, and all Paths Welcome we feel â&#x20AC;&#x153;stuckâ&#x20AC;? on our path. Psychics pick up information via the physical, emotional and mental bodies. They are sensitive, instinctive, empathic and telepathic and essentially act as antennas, receiving sensations that are sent out from their environment, either directly from a client, or through the use of tools such as crystal balls, pendulums and tarot cards. They will know if you are out of balance, When receiving a reading from a psychic, medium upset or in a state of dis-ease and can guide you back to or intuitive, your job is to carefully consider what you an equilibrium state. are being told and see whether or not it resonates with Mediums communicate with non-physical entities you. If it does not resonate, feel free to reject anything in multidimensional realities, and can bring back that does not sit well with you. If the reading is information not only from loved ones who have crossed discouraging or negative, understand that the seer has over to the other side, but also from guides, angels, not accessed the higher spiritual realms, and feel free to ascended masters and sometimes elementals and other reject this as well. It is important for you to understand members of the fairy kingdoms. that just because a medium is able to communicate Intuitives operate in the higher spiritual realms, and with departed loved ones, this does not necessarily are in touch with soul knowledge, spiritual truths and mean that the information is valid. If your aunt, for the inner knowing that comes from being connected to example, was angry and bitter while she was alive, the Source. Intuitives will connect with your soulâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s higher chances are pretty good that she still carries some of purpose and bring you guidance from the highest level that bitterness on the other side. Therefore, if you did not care to take her advice when she was still embodied, of your own being. These abilities often overlap, and most people are there is no reason to take her advice now simply able to develop all of these gifts. A good seer will thus because she has let her body go. On the other hand, have a whole range of non-physical cues that they are this same aunt may come through seeking forgiveness, able to read and interpret. Even so, they are gifts that and your willingness to forgive may bring you an come with a heavy responsibility, and those who seek unexpected spiritual breakthrough. When receiving a the services of these gifted individuals also have their message, therefore, your job is to be discerning, accept own burden of responsibility to bear, so it is important only what resonates, and if the guidance is helpful, to know what you may or may not expect from a reader. use the information wisely to bring improvement to your life. Bless everything else, let it go, and above all, Like the old episodes of Star Trek, there is a very understand that only you are ultimately responsible for strict protocol of not violating the Prime Directive, that your own happiness. is, seers must not interfere in the lives of their clients. Their purpose is to guide, uplift and inspire, but NOT On March 14th, the Ottawa Spiritual Pathways Centre to advise or make decisions for those who seek their will be holding a Psychic Tea from 10-5 at the Subud services.

Reclaiming our Creative Nature to Transform Memories by Amâeil (Melinda Urban RIHR) Healing with Divine heart to awaken the deep truth within.

he compassion inherent in consciousness is creativity. Our life force is eternal and self-perpetuating. If this natural capacity is not radically apparent in our human condition it’s because our memories have been wiped clean. It matters to know this because until we know who we are, why we are here and what we are capable of, we cannot completely heal. This is true for each of us individually, and collectively. Until we reclaim our creative nature, in every sense of the word, we will simply recycle history. Earth was invaded 208,000 years ago during the violent Orion Wars, seeding the tyranny, patriarchal domination, predator-prey, and victim-victimizer programs that we still experience today. The terrifying war memories have been propagated through the collective unconscious by holographic inserts and psychotronic warfare so that we continue to war with ourselves. Our genetics were further compromised about 5,500 years ago during the Sumerian-Egypt invasion when our DNA became inactivated. During these cycles the alien invaders captured control of our memory so that we would forget our true, creative nature. Since then we have been hypnotized to resign to convention, conformity, and deception by their imposed false realities. Direct knowledge of our multidimensional nature and universe has been lost to many, and we are still subject to the control matrix. Our current galactic opening gives us the opportunity to make the most of our creative nature and change the patterns. We can now access and remember timelines prior to the Orion Invasion to reveal the source of what drives us, collectively and individually, and pierce through the veil of illusion. Collecting our truthful memories vibrationally shifts the time-space fields of our universal time matrix to repair the damage. This is phenomenally creative! But we have to be willing to feel the force of the destruction and pain we experienced, and forgive ourselves and all involved. Nobody is immune to the debris being stirred from the planetary fields right now. Some will feel it more intensely than others, and we may not have a context for the emotional and mental unbalancing it can bring. We have to stay vigilantly mindful of who or what is driving our behaviour and our thoughts, especially

when we do not feel like ourselves. The more practiced we are in sensing and identifying our thoughts and feelings the easier it becomes to discern their source as organic, inorganic, personal or collective. Dark energies take advantage of worry, fear, and disconnection, so our regular spiritual practices that ground us and restore our sense of inner peace and harmony with our GodSelf are essential. We can create new loving energies and memories. This miraculous gift we each have to remember, integrate, and rebirth is a healing art, an organic flow of the Living Light of God. In its absence life force falls away. Our conscious participation helps us to transform the inorganic patterns like those created by artificial intelligence and reactivate our DNA. Healing our minds, and our hearts, is our Divine re-creation. The Higher Self holds the wisdom in all creative expression whether we are healing old, limiting patterns or expressing through art. Our creativity can stretch us beyond our limiting perceptions and wake up stagnant energies to rediscover aspects of us that were previously concealed and that we’ve hidden from ourselves. The most direct access to the creative Higher Self is self-inquiry, and we can ask, “Who am I?”, “Where did I come from?”, “What am I here to do?”, and “What would be most helpful to me to remember at this timing?”. One of our most profound creative expressions is to claim our right to ascend and choose our liberation from the anti-human agenda, through intention and multidimensional clearing. We can commit to remembering the truth and re-seed Earth, with the seed atom of Christ consciousness. Copyright Reserved.

FROM THE HEART:

Living life from your joyous, healed inner child Rev. Sherry Harris, MSW, RSW, psycho-spiritual counsellor, coach, teacher

ife is grand when you look at it through the eyes of your precious child inside. This is the being that came in knowing she/he was not separate from God, that Love was everything and everywhere, and that life was meant to be lived joyously, fearlessly, and abundantly. When we take the time to communicate with our 3-6 year old child within and allow that precious being to share with us its pain, grief, fear and anger we, as the loving, supportive adult, allow that lost, frightened, and confused child within to release those buried feelings and to returnfeel light, free and connected to her/ his God-self again. We come into this world, whole, complete and perfect in our spiritual body. Emotionally in our subconscious we may carry burdens and joys from previous lifetimes to be manifested in this life and to help us meet our life goals in this incarnation. Our subconscious is our inner child and it is like our operating system. It is programmed with everything from past lives that is relevant for this life’s learning and accumulates everything in this life from the moment we are born. Our parents program us with their desires for us, with their own programs of fear and control as well as their learning objectives for us. Generally speaking we can say most parents intend to produce healthy, productive children that will mature into healthy, productive adults---ones of which they can be proud. In trying to educate us to be safe and a high functioning member of society they instilled in us way too many do’s and don’ts, shoulds, have tos and oughts. Too many rules and regulations all designed for us to look good to other people--to please other people. This programming starts in infancy where we get hugs and smiles and oohs of encouragement when we do what is easiest for our parents--sleep on schedule, eat what is given us without complaint, keep clean, mess our diapers minimally, etc. Very soon we learn our existence is all about pleasing others. We start modeling our behaviour not on what we need or want but on what serves others. And this makes us angry, resentful, sad, hurt, lonely, untrusting, fearful, but we can’t let that show because that will bring anger and resentment. So we choke it down and free, light-hearted, God-connected child that came in originally is now drowning in repressed, hurtful emotions. The light,

Abundant Life Coach Spiritual Counsellor Psychotherapist 2belight1@gmail.com www. sherryharriscounselling.com 613-236-8852 Insurance Receipts Available freedom and joy of being is squashed and a very unhappy, unauthentic young person goes into toddlerhood and early childhood so removed from his/her truth of being there is no recognition of how he/she could be in life. And life proceeds from there, from a beginning of “do as your told”, “don’t show your real feelings”, “where’s the love?”, “how did I get into this mess?” and “how do I get out of here and back to where I came from?” Eventually we just plain forget that there was any other way of being and we settle in to settling for a mediocre, unfulfilling life, confused as to why we feel so badly and why we feel so badly about ourselves and why don’t we even know who we are? Eventually we become so lost and unhappy we start looking for answers. We start looking outside then we turn inside. It is there our inner child waits for the help it has been asking for. The lost child inside remembers enough of being One with God that is knows this has not the way to live. And it begs you to listen, to love, to allow and to accept the truth of who that little being is and what it needs to be happy. It asks grown-up you to be the loving parent it never had and to encourage the child within to share its pain and sorrow so it might be released allowing the little one to return to the wholeness it naturally was before all the negative programming. This is the inner child work in a nutshell. It is what I teach and what I have found heals the suffering and fear within us faster than any other work I have used. If you are interested in inner child work or psycho-spiritual counselling please contact Sherry at 613-236-8852 or 2belight1@gmail.com

Become a powerful Divine Soul Healer by Master Lynda Chaplin

ould you like to become a powerful healer? You can! It doesn’t matter if you are a healthcare professional, a healer of any modality, a homemaker, a lawyer, or whatever. You can become a Divine Healing Hands Soul Healer—which is to become a Divine Soul Healer to serve humanity. The soul is the essence of all life. The soul has great potential and power to heal, rejuvenate, and transform all aspects of life. We can learn to listen to, and follow, our soul’s guidance. The wisdom of this teaching is taught by Dr. and Master Zhi Gang Sha in his New York Times bestselling books. His teachings combine the essence of Western medicine and traditional Chinese medicine with ancient energy and spiritual healing secrets. The key principle is: Heal and transform the soul first; then healing and transformation of every aspect of life will follow.™ Master Sha has brought us many powerful self-healing techniques which have benefited millions of people worldwide. We are living in extraordinary times and facing many challenges on Mother Earth. Humanity is suffering. Many people have chronic pain and life-threatening

illnesses. Many people suffer from emotional and mental imbalances. Many people have serious relationship challenges and financial struggle. You and humanity can very clearly see more and greater challenges happening on Mother Earth, including natural and man-made disasters, war, climate change, disease, economic challenges, and more. Why are Mother Earth and humanity facing challenges? The reason is soul mind body blockages. Soul blockages are negative karma. Negative karma is caused by one’s and one’s ancestors’ mistakes of hurting, harming, or taking advantage of others in all lifetimes. Negative karma is carried by one’s inner souls. To clear soul blockages is to remove the darkness inside the body. Mind blockages include negative mind-sets, negative attitudes, negative beliefs, ego, attachments, and more. Body blockages include energy blockages and matter blockages. For centuries and millennia, humanity has created huge negative karma. There is a karmic law in Heaven: Good service brings rewards. Negative service brings lessons. This law applies to all souls in all universes and can explain why people get sick, why people suffer from anxiety and depression, and why people have challenges with relationships, finances, and other aspects of life.

Healing with Huna

re you worn out from constantly trying to change “whatever” and don’t know where to start with “something”, just a little “something” that would get you going toward your goal, your life mission, your purpose? We have all heard it before or we are mindfully aware that we design our past and future in the NOW. In order to do so, we are fully conscious and fully present in the present moment; our sense of awareness is heightened to our different creations, the projected messages or signs which, we receive from the world that surrounds us suggest that we are on the right path. As much as we know, that “whatever” sometimes becomes a sensory overload. A feeling of overwhelm takes over and we spin and spin in a loop and there seems to be no point of exit. And we know that all we have to do is ground ourselves and refocus to the very purpose that began the cycle, the mission of change and transformation we have set for ourselves. How about a moment of centeredness and calmness? A moment where you become light and enlighten; a spark of knowledge into the most subtle realm of the heavens. Breathe in … and breathe out - as you feel, bring down the light from the Heavens through the wind of your breath. Up and down as you see the flow of energy move through your body. That’s right! Legend traces Huna back to Lemuria. It is most certainly among the oldest of spiritual teachings preserved and alive on this planet today. Within the world of Huna we can find magical sources of practical wisdom and Spiritual insight. One meaning of the Word Huna is “Secret” or “Hidden”. Huna was originally called Ho’omana. Ho’o means to make. Mana means life force, equivalent to Ki, Chi or Shakti. Taken together the word Ho’omana means empowerment or to empower. This practical wisdom is centered in the here and now; it deals with

the everyday reality here, in the physical world while also helping you reach a state of great awareness and clarity. The practice of Huna produces results in personal growth, greater happiness and the ability to affect the ecology of your personal environment in a positive way. It’s a great intuitive awakening, it is wonderful for emotional healing. When working with Huna, we work in direct contact with symbols, spiritual guides and energies. These forces of energy or angelic being are called Awaiku. Huna “healing” leads rapidly to a real feeling of being blessed and nurtured by the Earth and development of qualities of heart and courage. It is a grounded spiritual awareness. Natasha Skibola offers a wide variety of metaphysical and self-empowerment services to clients in both individual and group settings, ranging from individual coaching to small group training seminars.

The Intoxication of Expertise – Part 2

n last month’s column, I talked about a fascinating article I had read, “Reclaiming Mediation’s Future: Getting Over the Intoxication of Expertise, Re-Focusing on Party Self-Determination” by Baruch Bush and Joseph Folger, authors of the groundbreaking book The Promise of Mediation. In the article they wrote about how mediators have been seduced – they actually use the term “addicted” – by the “high” that comes from solving people’s problems, from being able to “take away the pain and frustration of unmet needs and tangled problems, applying their well-trained skill sets to accomplish wonders for eager clients who would otherwise suffer.” They call this “the intoxication of expertise.” Bush and Folger write that in our current “expert” culture, the core value of mediation – client empowerment – has been lost. Mediation was originally meant as an antidote to the prevailing culture of litigation. “Let’s support parties in making their own decisions,” we said 30 years ago, when the modern mediation movement was being formed. “Let’s get away from the idea that people in conflict need to be told what is best for them. Instead, let’s support them in making their own decisions, something that is in keeping with people’s true natures.” The mediator was supposed to, in effect, say, “It’s not about me – it’s about you. It’s not about me solving your problems, it’s about me helping you both to feel empowered to the point where you can solve your own problems.” But somewhere along the way, this goal has been lost, say Bush and Folger, and mediation has become just another process in which an “expert” tells people what to do. Why are people ultimately so dissatisfied with a judge ordering them to do certain things? Why are so many judges’ orders ignored, or appealed? Because people had no say in the process. They may not like what the judge told them to do, but mostly they don’t like how it was done to them. They feel they had no voice in the process, they feel disempowered, with no say over their own lives. We are in danger of mediators becoming informal judges. True mediation allows people to feel empowered in a difficult situation, and encourages them to recognize this right in the person they are in conflict with. It supports both parties in having a deep conversation about making their own decisions about matters that are very important to them. When people are engaged in this kind of conversation they are less likely to use the law as a weapon to force the other person to do something that doesn’t make sense to him or her from a financial, philosophical, emotional, practical – or simply fairness - point of view. They become far more likely to make their own creative

613.237.7335 settlement that will work for their particular family, and these settlements are far more likely to last. Bush and Folger are right. It is hard for the professional to move away from the “intoxication” that can come from having hard won specialized knowledge and expertise. But this is what must be done in order to shift the focus away from the mediator to the process of mediation and help people reach true empowering resolutions. And that is the biggest “high” of all.

Liposomal Vitamin C Significantly Boosts the Immune System

By Judy Spence, ND(QC), RN, R.Ac, CHt iposomal Vitamin C (LVC) is made using a relatively new process of attaching various products to lecithin (more specifically to the phosphatidyl choline in lecithin) which delivers it directly to the liver and other cells at impressive levels. The liver uses choline to carry out its work. Medications and supplements are piggybacked onto lecithin’s choline. Commercially soy or sunflower lecithin are used as vehicles to get them effectively into the liver. This liposomal process is newly being used for patients with Cystic Fibrosis who are prone to multiple serious infections some which are antibiotic resistant. Antibiotics are bound to phosphatidyl choline which assures a much better absorption and higher blood levels of the antibiotics thereby improving their killing ability. More and more supplements are being made using this process. In our clinics we carry a number of supplements made this way. In this article I will focus on Liposomal Vitamin C (LVC). Vitamin C at very high doses may kill cancer. Studies show it has anti-neoplastic effect when administered intravenously. It is impossible to attain high enough levels when taking regular Vitamin C orally. There is a threshold at which oral Vitamin C will cause diarrhea hence it cannot be delivered orally, until now. LVC is taken orally, does not cause diarrhea and attains blood levels close to that which is achieved intravenously. Vitamin C kills the Herpes virus as well. I have my good friend Layah Weinstock to thank for information that she uncovered while researching

alternative methods for treating cancer. There are social media groups for LVC and a number of “how to” websites as well. Making LVC requires a blender, lecithin, ascorbic acid crystals, distilled water, ethyl alcohol (optional but recommended) and an ultrasonic bath. For under $100 you can begin making LVC in your kitchen. I have been making my own LVC for months and am amazed to see how easy it is to tolerate. I used to get vitamin C intravenously when I was very sick. It is freeing to be able to make an inexpensive substitute that I drink every day. Research has shown that high levels approaching intravenous blood levels can be achieved with LVC. LVC however is not for everyone. It is not recommended during pregnancy or lactation nor for those with kidney disease or stones. I add lysine to my vitamin C because they work synergistically. I also make my own liposomal glutathione and liposomal methylcobalamine (B12) because both are easily destroyed by stomach acid. I know of no research on the effectiveness of these products being lyophilized but I am aware that manufacturers do lyophilize them as well. The binding of nutritionals to phosphatidyl choline protects them from destruction in the digestive tract. Thank goodness for the internet and the vast amount of information that it makes available to us all. I did my own independent verification of the literature on LVC before I invested in tools to begin making it for myself. The responsibility of verification lies with each consumer who should do ‘due diligence’ before engaging in such techniques and who needs to assure hygienic technique. I always inform my MD what programs I am undertaking and ask her to help me monitor my health which is a prudent practice.

DRIVING TEST NERVES How Hypnotherapy Can Help By Dr Luke www.lukenosis.com

regularly get consulted with people wanting help in overcoming driving test nerves. Types of nerves can range from an overall feeling of anxiety about the test in general, to more specific nerves related to a particular manoeuvre required during the test. The vast majority of people I see are more than capable drivers and experience no nerves during their normal driving lessons. Some have taken their test previously, either once or have had a few attempts. Others just want a bit of a boost to make sure they are feeling 100% confident before attempting the test for the first time. The one’s that have taken their test previously may have had a bad experience or failed due to a few minor mistakes. This experience may then trigger off a few doubts in the person’s mind about their ability to pass the next time. Consequently, this can then turn into a limiting belief, backed up by every failed attempt they make at passing their test. So what exactly causes nerves or anxiety? It all starts with the mind and how we think and process experiences and upcoming events. We essentially have two different parts to our minds, the conscious will which states what we want to happen,

and the imagination which kicks in with fear and doubt. When these two parts of our mind are conflicted, the imagination wins over. Put into context from a driving test point of view, our conscious will states: “I’m going to pass my driving test”. The imagination kicks in with fear and doubt, answering “But what if you don’t? You’re going to get something wrong, you’re going to forget everything and freeze. Look what happened last time, you got really nervous and forgot to indicate and check your mirrors.” As soon as there is a conflict between the two, the imagination wins and overrides the conscious will. You start imagining the worst case scenario and messing up a manoeuvre, feeling really nervous and anxious. By imagining the worst case scenario, you are essentially playing a horror movie in your head. This then feeds down to your body and your body reacts with physical symptoms of nerves and anxiety. You may experience an upset stomach, sweaty palms, hyperventilating, heart palpitations and feel as if you can’t remember anything that you have learnt from your driving lessons. This is obviously not a good situation to be in just before or during your test! How can Hypnotherapy help? Hypnotherapy is a brilliant tool to help overcome driving test nerves. During hypnosis we are able to bypass the conscious mind and help put suggestions into the subconscious to enable the two to work

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

He has developed an advanced hypnotherapy technique that turns weak willed smokers into empowered Non-Smokers in just one hour. He says “This technique is so powerful we are achieving a 95% success rate. This is incredible when you think that patches are only about 16% successful. We are so confident in the success of this treatment that we offer a free backup session for the remaining 5%. In fact, if after the session any one should need an extra session, it’s theirs, FREE OF CHARGE.”

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

Dr. Luke explains, “This powerful breakthrough technique combines the latest discoveries in hypnosis and the new science of personal achievement known as Neuro Linguistic Programming. This takes the power of hypnosis to a new level in

helping people take back control of their lives.” Many local doctors are so impressed by the power of hypnosis that they are now referring many of their patients to Dr. Luke for his Accelerated Change Stop Smoking Programme. Dr. Luke says, “I am currently building a Doctors Referral Network to keep local GP’s informed of my developments and to keep them informed of their patients’ progress. Many celebrities, professional business people, nurses and housewives have benefited from stopping smoking with hypnosis, SO CAN YOU! The good news is that this incredible method of stopping smoking is available locally. The bad news there usually is a two or three week waiting list for an appointment – but even the medical profession believes it’s worth waiting for.

We can go through all of the manoeuvres in your mind, with you feeling how you would like to feel during your test. We are starting to re-train your mind by doing this and breaking the unhelpful habits you have got into by imagining things going wrong. By imagining things going right, you are training your body to react in a po sitive, helpful way!

Free ENERGY Sessions! Looking for a limited number of qualifying participants who have one or more of the following issues: Chronic fatigue, headaches, fibromyalgia, allergies, bulimia, phobias, back pain, infertility, insomnia, anxiety, depression, chronic pain of any kind.

8 Surefire Ways to Achieve Thigh Gap

t is a journey upon which many a woman has entered, and as we round the bend of another New Year, we’re given the opportunity to rewrite our fate with the commitment to a new start. We’re given a blank slate upon which to draw the image of a new-and-improved identity. We have, in effect, the chance to become beholden to the golden egg of health, wellness, and infinite self-esteem: we have an occasion to achieve the Thigh Gap. These 8 tricks are guaranteed to manifest the dream of seeing a gap between your thighs: 1. Turn on Melrose Place (or another realistic sitcom that educates women on beauty) and do countless repetitions of Plie Squats. Don’t worry about knee pain that prevents you from sitting in meditation. Thin is in. Meditation is not; in fact it can be quite disturbing. 2. Post pics of celebrities deep in the throes of their eating disorder. These are reminders of what’s possible, if you’re willing to work hard enough. Ali McBeal, Nicole Richie, and Lindsay Lohan are some inspiring examples. 3. Date men who comment only on how you look. Whether their comments are flattering or insulting doesn’t matter. Both prove their priorities are in order.

4. Swing by the nearest Botox clinic (you can probably walk) for a confidence boost. If Botox isn’t in the budget, no problem. Ask your doc to write a prescription. Show her the research on Botox for headaches; she’s already read it. 5. Do Yoga, but only to obtain a tight butt. If other things surface, such as feelings or insight, shut them down. Immediately. 6. On a date, keep sarcasm to a dull roar; don’t show disdain for the status quo; and above all else, limit your number of intelligent comments to one or two. Proceed with caution. Focus on what’s important: Thigh gap. Thigh gap. Thigh gap. 7. Surround yourself with friends who support your goals. Buy a set of Fat Calipers and meet with the group weekly to measure your progress. Pinch the most vulnerable areas, not forgetting the thighs. This will keep you focused on your goal while generating healthy competition among women. 8. At all costs, avoid people who don’t share your vision for greatness. People who talk about spirituality, compassion, holistic nutrition, or the greater good will only drag you down. Several of these tips have nothing to do with your thighs. Here’s why: Thigh gap is not about what you do, it’s about WHO YOU ARE. Own it. And for those of you who recognize this article is a crock of *SH#, thank God, and pass it on.

Learning to live with your question, a strategy for self improvement

e are not what we appear to be. A human being like me or you is much more than we appear, and a great deal more interesting. The best symbol I know for illustrating our human nature is that of the nesting dolls, also known as ‘Russian dolls’ or ‘Matrioshka’, a human figure within a similar human figure, within another figure within another, and so on. In other words, each of us is onion-like, multi layered, multiple ‘persona’. Each layer has different skills, different insights, and each layer is of equal importance. Most seminal to understand is that each layer has its own job to do, a job that ought not to be done by another layer. Many of our ills result from one layer’s attempting to do the job of another. A common dysfunction is the external or outer layer’s trying to do jobs that would better be done by one of the inner layers. I will refer to this overactive outer layer as the ‘external self’ or ‘ego self’. Many of us live almost entirely in ego self, we try to do everything from ego self, we attempt to control everything from ego self. The proper job of the ego self is to ask a better question, this is what it does best. In many of us however, this external ego self believes it must also answer the question, ‘figure it out’ as the saying goes. Moreover, being by nature impatient, ego self feels compelled to come up with an answer immediately. This common tendency of the ego self - to answer, to do, to control - is harmful when questions of a personal nature arise, big existential questions like, “What am I?”, “What is my place in the Cosmos?”, “Am I motivated by love or self interest?” Ego self is equally unsuited to answer more everyday personal questions like, “What is my appropriate response to this situation?”, or, “In pursuing this sport (or art form), am I using my body well or in a way likely to cause damage?” The tendency of the ego self to answer, do, and control is harmful because, in a deeper layer of self, we already know the answer. Ego self’s eagerness and anxiety to control only distracts us and deafens us to the answers emanating from a deeper self. Having asked a better question, ego self must be trained to live with its question, patiently, thereby ‘getting out of the way’, and permitting the answer to arise from a deeper layer of self. My day to day profession, teacher of The Alexander Technique, is primarily concerned with assisting others in persuading ego mind to get out of the way. Clients

Free Talk and Demonstration of the classic Alexander Technique

Sunday, March 8th, 2:30pm, McNabb community Centre 180 Percy St, just north of Gladstone

Richard Albert 613-315-5730 alextech@magma.ca www.alexalbert.ca insurance covered typically present with various tensions and pains that make life unpleasant and moreover undermine performance in chosen activities - professional, athletic and artistic. Most clients present along with the belief that what is needed is for their ego self, or my ego self, to do something to control their unwanted symptoms. Not many clients even suspect that their answer already lies in a deeper layer within themselves. To a certified teacher of the Alexander teacher, the habits of movement that cause tension and pain and poor performance, are easy to see. How to change those dysfunctional habits, how to replace them with functional ones, this is the real challenge. The first step is to realize that we all of us are born with the instinctive information for functional habits of movement, what we Alexander teachers call good use of the self. This instinctive information is never lost. It is in most of us however, more or less forgotten, due to poor modeling, trauma, accident or illness. By about the age of two, our instinctive good habits of use begin to become super ceded by less functional ones. These newer habits reside in external ego self whereas our original habits of use informed by instinct reside in a deeper layer of self. How to invite the more functional instinctive habits to resume their rightful place? Certainly not by giving the job to ego self! Learning how to permit good habits of use to reappear in one’s everyday life is not very difficult; it is, however, subtle and somewhat counter intuitive for many, requiring one to consider a different view of one’s human nature and potential. Such learning can be made much easier by a certified teacher of the Alexander Technique, someone who has received training full time over three years. By various methods - explanation, example, and hands-on – an Alexander teacher is able to help raise in the client’s ego self, a number of better and better questions about good habits of movement, thereby helping the client’s instinctive self to re-awaken and re-establish good use of the self.

What Me Worry? By Steve Priebe

Part 2

Loving Connections or Cords

our life is so full of STRESS from work, home, kids, relatives, money, love, etc. Then added to all this, the problem with exposure to man-made electropollution. From Wi-Fi, cellphones, power towers, and the invasive smart grid. Since microwaves easily flow through construction materials, “smart meters” attached to the outside of our homes (huge banks of them on multi-unit dwellings) broadcast a perpetual barrage of EMF radiation directly into the interior of inhabited buildings and right through all human flesh within range. Smart meters are “hot” in terms of broadcast power density and can emit microwave at levels reported by medical studies to be 80 times higher than recommended safety levels based upon current published science. Media sources are continually reporting on many people who are suffering from electro-hypersensitivity (EHS) who have fled their smart-metered homes in desperate search of habitation that does not cause heart palpitations, rashes, severe tinnitus and neurological disabilities. Electro-sensitivity appears to be a sort of auto-immune condition developed by a growing number of victims, usually after acute exposure to electromagnet radiation. Utility companies around the world have been caught lying to their customers about the smart meter program. Lets get control of one less health stress in our lives. Our protection EMF BALANCERS are built in Canada by Peter Webb who has developed this system over 30 yrs. 2 EMF balancers for most homes,1 EMF balancer for your auto plus products for your body, energy balls, ADR discs, gold energy cards and plates.

By Donation HAVE A BALANCED MARCH

e all want to belong and we all want to be loved. What are loving connections? Loving connections are energetic connections between people when they feel valued, heard and seen. This is done without any judgement. Cords on the other hand have us believe that we are in Love but in fact we are attached to the other person as if we are captive and the only way we function is to meet the desires of the person with which we are in a relationship. Cords feel exactly like we are attached by an invisible energy. When we say or do something we feel a tug or a twist somewhere in our bodies. We work hard at pleasing the other person, we check our words carefully. We are dependent or counterdependent. When you make a request inside we question if we really should be asking for what we want. We are afraid that our request is not going to be heard or that it will be misunderstood and cause a disagreement. So what happens usually is exactly what we are afraid of. How do we change this? I believe first we need to discover where these cords come from. We then need to address these issues. We need to change the energy around these cords. This can be accomplished through first learning to Love our self. Accepting that we are perfectly imperfect the way we are. What do we say to our self that does not support us? Do we say I WILL LOVE AND ACCEPT MYSELF WHEN… We love ourselves when we embrace who we are, honour how powerful we are, trust and honour our connectedness with the universe. If we have not been loved or shown how to love then learn how to love. Connect with our inner self and fill the needs of the inner self. Counselling, group and information groups and energy therapies can help this process by releasing and transforming this energy. We all deserve to be loved.

Hopes and Dreams

All of life comes to us With Ease, Joy & Glory

opes and dreams is one of the Bars in the Access Consciousness Bars system. As with all Bars, this one helps us release the thoughts, feelings and emotions related to the particular Bars point that is not ours. Perhaps the first question to ask here is: How many of your hopes and dreams actually belong to someone else?

Most of us have parents that had hopes and dreams for us, generally based on what they would like to see for our lives and what they believe is important. What were your parent’s hope and dreams for you? Did they desire for you to marry well? Get a college degree? Become a lawyer? Have children? Did you find yourself trying to fulfill their dreams or even rebelling against them? Parents, teachers, cultural and religious leaders tend to believe that they are doing their jobs when they impart what they have decided are the most important values and goals for you. The fact that you, as an individual, may have different aspirations is rarely considered. This is generally not based on meanness so much as an inability to think beyond their paradigms that they too were sold. When you look back, can you find any hopes, dreams, goals or aspirations that you followed that were not really yours? How well did that work out for you? Unfortunately, many people end up in jobs, relationships and other situations that are not really a good fit for them. If this is true for you, please know that it is never too late to change! This change generally takes two steps. The first is to identify which hopes and dreams that you have had are actually yours, and which belong to other people. Getting your Bars run and asking questions is a great way to begin to look at this. Doing this step can give you practice in becoming aware of how much of what we consider our thoughts, feelings and emotions don’t actually belong to us! The second step is to take a close look at the viability of your hopes and dreams. Often our hopes and dreams reflect more of how we wish the world was rather than how it actually is. That can also end up in situations that don’t work out well. Perhaps you had a dream of being a great painter, playing baseball for your favorite team, becoming an important political figure or traveling the world. Did you achieve it? Most of us don’t achieve these kinds of dreams. The difficulty arises if we judge ourselves as failures or spend too much of our lives pursuing these dreams without asking a question.

Some questions that are helpful with dreams are: What do I actually know about my talents and abilities in this area? What’s the value of this dream? What does achieving it mean to me? What am I unwilling to be aware of about myself and this dream? Unfortunately dreams have little to do with being aware. Sometimes being aware is very uncomfortable and even brings up disappointment, but in the end it helps us live much more effective, creative and even fun lives. Hopes, like dreams, are also not based on awareness. We can hope that our spouse will stop drinking, or that our child will turn out the way we would like them to turn out, or that there will be world peace or that a particular candidate will win the election. Gary Douglas says that: “Hope is the pretense of not knowing.” As you move away from hopes and dreams and into your own knowing, you will notice that your life begins to work with more ease and fewer glitches. It’s not that hopes and dreams are bad or wrong; it’s that they divert us from our knowing and the awareness that allow us to make choices that work well for us. What if you gave up your hopes and dreams in favor of a willingness to be aware? Might this create more of the life you truly desire?

Experiencing Mother Meera By Reza Shadman

he first time Mother Meera looked into my eyes I smiled for 24 hrs and that was enough to make me a fan. I had heard from a co-worker that someone enlightened is coming to town and in my innocent mind I wanted to see how an enlightened person looks like. Needless to say Mother Meera looks like me and you. All I needed to attend was to register and a couple of days later I found myself in a large hall of about 300 seats. While chatting with others, I learned we are there so that Mother Meera can transmit her special light to us, a process known as Darshan. The organizers explained that she does so in silence. No words-Mother would gently hold each persons head, lightly touching the temples, then she would look into the eyes and that’s it. They also explained it is best to stay for the duration, even though one can leave after receiving Darshan. After the explanation, Darshan started. Everyone was sitting quietly or in meditation, waiting to be called row by row to meet Mother’s eyes. When she looked into my eyes I perked up and by the end of the session I was all smiles. Eager to know more about her, I purchased a book and

literally pranced to the bus station. I didn’t know at the time, but by reading about her and having her picture, I maintained a connection to her. What stood out the most was her saying “Ask for Anything”, so I asked for her help (and a few hundred other things). Mother was with me long after the experience of Darshan and held my hand during my hard times, even though I wasn’t consciously aware. I felt something during the Darshan but not everyone feels the effect. Sometimes people feel it a day or week later or nothing at all. Mother explains however that whether we feel it or not, we receive exactly what is needed: “I do not speak but my force changes people completely. The power of the Divine works in the silence and will change things according to your aim and what you ask for. Sometimes I can give immediately what you have requested. Sometimes it takes time. Some people ask for each and and every small thing and others ask and go on asking – it depends on the individual. However, whether you ask or not is not important, I will give what is necessary.” Answers part I Not too long ago seekers would take up long and unknown journeys to India or other places to find Divine personalities such as Mother Meera. It’s interesting that in a few short decades the world has changed so much that these personalities are coming to us. Mother Meera is bringing down a special light onto this planet so we can create a more loving and aware humanity. She will be touring US and Canada starting this April, and will be in Ottawa Friday April 17th. Darshan is free, however you need to reserve a seat at www.mothermeera.ca . I sincerely invite you to experience Mother’s beautiful light in person.

Who We Are When We Thrive: Remembering Happiness & Rediscovering Health!

his thought-provoking and illuminating new book guides us home to the remembrance of WHO WE ARE as happiness itself; and helps us to rediscover the mind-body connection so that we can drop the mental/ emotional patterns that no longer serve our overall health and well-being and all begin to thrive once more. We all have the capacity to know ourselves as this vast happiness; that which pervades all beings and has no conditions for arising. It is a matter of placing our attention on WHO WE ARE, instead of on the mind and its endless cycle of personal problems. When we are united with the place that we come from and die to, there is deep peace and joy that arises regardless of what is happening on the outside! This is life’s deepest desire for us all - to know itself as the unchanging bliss that we are. When we forget this knowing, we inevitably experience suffering or as Vedantan Master Sri Nisargadatta would say, “suffer our experiencing”! As an ardent spiritual seeker for the past 18 years, from the time that I read my first Thich Nhat Hanh book at 18 years old, passed months at his monastery in South France, visited countless monasteries, churches and mosques throughout Western and Eastern Europe, studied and meditated in the temples and shrines of South-East Asia, walked the largest deserts, visited the sacred seas and climbed the mythical mountains of the Middle East, experienced the rituals and “white magic” of Africa, took mystical journeys to sacred sites in South America, lived amongst the sacred Aboriginal cultures in Australia and shared with Monks, Nuns, Priests and lay people all over the globe, I have come to understand some things about the nature of our common suffering.

This book helps to highlight the “way out” by assisting us to rewire our conditioned bodies and minds through the discovery of WHO WE truly ARE and dropping of WHO WE ARE not. It includes questions, exercises, and techniques to unhook detrimental mental patterns and belief systems, meditations to create a more free and quiet mind, yoga postures (asanas) and breathing techniques (pranayama) to open up our bodies and minds, tip sheets to condense this information, as well as stories and pictures (taken abroad!) to inspire and enhance enjoyment of the process!

Pathwork: Is this all there is?

Pathwork Lecture Discussions

here is a parable that imagines unborn twins in discussion about this question. As they ‘look’ around inside the womb, one comes to the conclusion that this is all there is and there can’t possibly be life after birth; the other senses that there is much more than what they are presently able to detect. In a similar manner, we who have already discovered that there is, indeed, life after birth, wonder if what we can see and touch around us is all there is. Many sense that there is more than our five senses can experience directly and often long to connect to that ‘more’. We live day-to-day on a dualistic plane of consciousness but we sense and long for, even if dimly, a unitive plane of consciousness. Everything in our environment functions dualistically where we perceive and experience everything in opposites either/or: good or bad, right or wrong, life or death. Most of what we encounter, every human problem, is shaped by this dualism. It leads to us each striving to be one thing and not other things and putting much energy into maintaining our tight opinions, sometimes out of fear of being wrong or unworthy or endangered. This is at work between individuals, organizations and countries. At the same time, we each have a part, our higher real self that senses and embodies the unified principle where there are no opposites. “There is no good or bad, no right or wrong, no life or death. There is only good, only right, only life; yet not the kind of good, right or life that comprises only one pole of the opposites. It transcends both poles and is completely different from either one. It combines both so that there is no longer any tension, conflict or fear.” (Pathwork Lecture 143) Our predicament is that if we strive to transcend the dualities and open into a new unified state of consciousness but we do so from our dualistic way of thinking and perceiving, this plunges us into the very conflict that our real self seeks to avoid. We strive for one of the dualistic aspects and against the other. From the consciousness of the dualistic part of us this can feel like a very high stakes struggle. The dualistic plane is the plane of the ego. The unified plane is the world of the real self. However, “when the road to the unified principle is chosen, soon what at first appeared as one certain good and one obvious bad ceases to be so, and you inevitably encounter good and bad on both ends. When this road is pursued still further, no longer is there any bad, but only good. The road leads deep inside the real self, into truth that goes way beyond the ego’s small self-interest.” (L143) When we seek this deeper, larger truth deep inside the real self, we approach the unified state of consciousness. What gets in the way of us connecting to our real self is first, not knowing it exists and that we can learn to connect; and secondly our difficulty in letting go of our egocentric perspective and allowing the ego to integrate

Natural Healing Retreats

Natural Healing through meditation, yoga and plant based diet in a private, natural surrounding Let’s Look at the Real Cause of Dis-Ease here are many ills in this world that I would like to take on and cure. The global economy is in intensive care. Over fifty percent of the worlds wealth is in the hands of ONE PERCENT of the population. Hunger and malnourishment are rampant even in the wealthiest nation in the world! Bigotry and religious intolerance are all around us. However, I will leave the revolution until another day and another blog. Let’s start small. Today I would like to tend to the “foot soldiers”, the common folks like you and I who strive everyday just to find peace of mind, happiness and good health. Diet is important, genetics may play a small role, but the real threat to our species’ well being is stress! How tight are your shoulders right now? Among other things, stress depletes our energy stores and makes us more prone to illness. Cell biologist Bruce Lipton discovered that genetically identical cells that are put into different environments behave differently; cells put under stress exhibit disease, yet when they are returned to a stress-free environment they become healthy again. His ground-breaking research showed that it’s a misconception that genetics are mostly

APRIL 16th

responsible for disease, it is, in fact, primarily the environment that alters our cells. Many recent studies have shown that spending time in a natural environment reduces stress levels and increases health and wellbeing, so if we are able to spend more time in nature, then this will support our health. Just the thought of breathing fresh clean air in quiet solitude enhances our wellbeing. Yet de-stressing is slightly more complicated in our busy lives. So how, you might ask, can you turn your life around and reduce your stress levels? Ask yourself these useful questions for reducing stress and developing ‘self-nourishing’ strategies, and write down the answers! This exercise can be life altering! Be particularly aware of the little voice of fear which tells you that you cannot change your circumstances! • What kinds of things bring me the most joy in my life? • How can I make sure that I have enough time and energy to do the things that I love and that nourish me? • How could I give myself regular breaks in a natural environment? • How could I avoid feeling over stretched in my life? • Do I have unrealistic expectations about what is achievable? • How could I say ‘no’ gracefully to unnecessary pressures? • How do I feel about asking for help? • Could I learn some stress-reducing tools such as mindfulness meditation or Yoga? This last question is dear to my heart. The reason that I run Natural Healing Retreats is to give people an opportunity to enjoy peace and tranquility in a natural environment. This not only helps people to heal, but teaches healthy diet and relaxation techniques which can last a lifetime. “Teach a man to fish….” :-) http://natural-healing-retreats.com/about/ Derek Roche is an Acupuncturist with 20 years experience working in Ottawa.

Sri Chinmoy Answers

Question: Is there a way of breathing or controlling the breath that would help me in my meditation? SRI CHINMOY: In Yoga, there is a Sanskrit word for a systematic way of breathing called pranayama, but without the proper guidance of a real teacher at every step, pranayama can be dangerous to the health. However, there is a very simple way of controlled breathing which will help you in your meditation and at the same time will not create any danger. When you breathe in, try to breathe in as slowly and as quietly as possible. The highest type of spiritual breathing, which is not at all dangerous, is to breathe in so slowly and quietly that if somebody placed a tiny thread in front of your nose it would not move at all. When you breathe in as slowly as possible, feel that you are breathing in not just air, but cosmic energy. Feel that tremendous energy is entering into you, and that you are going to use it to purify yourself—your body,

vital, mind and heart. Feel that there is not a single place in your body that has not been occupied by the flow of cosmic energy. It is flowing like a river inside you. When you feel that your whole being has been washed or purified by the cosmic energy, then feel that you are breathing out all the rubbish inside you—all the impure thoughts, impure actions and obscure ideas. Anything inside your system that you call undivine, anything that you do not want to claim as your own, feel that you are exhaling it. Although this is not the traditional yogic pranayama, which is more complicated and systematised, this is a most effective spiritual method of breathing. When you practise this method of breathing, in the beginning you have to use your imagination, but after a while you will see and feel that it is not imagination at all, but reality. You are consciously breathing in the energy which is flowing all around you in the cosmos, purifying yourself and emptying yourself of everything undivine. However, this breathing has to be done in a very conscious way, not in a mechanical way. If you can breathe this way for five minutes every day, you will be able to make very fast progress. Ultimately, when you reach a more advanced stage, you will be able to breathe not only through your nose but also through your heart, through your eyes, through your pores. Now you are limited to breathing only through the nose or the mouth, but a time will come when you will know that any part of the body can breathe. Spiritual Masters can breathe even with their nose and mouth closed. When you have perfected this spiritual breathing, you will feel that all your impurity and ignorance is gone. What has come to replace your ignorance and your imperfection is God’s Light, Peace and Power. Visit www.srichinmoylibrary.com for further writings by Sri Chinmoy.

Recent Dharma at Pine Gate Ian Prattis

First Saturday Mindfulness Gathering February 7, 2015 “The Better Way to Live Alone.” Your homework is to study this interpretation by Osho, and do a reality check on your streams of habitual thought. “There is a teaching on “The Better Way to Live Alone” which defines “living alone” to be the experience of having one’s mind free of thoughts about the past and future, but is instead focused on the “present moment.” But I can live physically alone but not be alone at all. If my mind is full of memories of the past and thoughts of the future, I can live physically alone but not be alone at all. If my mind is full of memories of the past and thoughts of the future, I can live physically alone while dialoguing with the deceased, reliving a past conversation or some painful (or joyful) incident or experience. Or I can be mentally rehearsing or imagining some future conversation, some future event. All of which is the antithesis of “living alone” if I am lost in these thoughts. On the other hand If I am aware and watchful of these thoughts, realizing I am having these thoughts in the present moment, then I am truly “living alone” – even if I am living with 100 other beings. And this leads me to my own “deepest core” of who I am. If I know this, I have the capacity to love.” This Moment Heals All Moments, Thursday Jan 29 & Thursday Feb 5, 2015 Crises of History require a similar response be mature, present, steady and above all - do the necessary internal work. Develop “impermanence” and “signlessness.” The Buddha provides instruments, practices and teachings to get there. As do the Wisdom of the Elders. We cannot tame the mouth until we have tamed the mind. We cannot adapt to Climate Change until we change our mindset. Put into reality the Art of Deep Listening and find the way to be present with our consumption. Are we even aware of the toxins pouring through our senses OR are we trapped by selfabsorption and distraction? Need to Let Go Big Time - organic gardening in the mind.

PURGE…THEN GROW!

By Daniel Roy CD, BA, MA, CFP, EPC, CIM, FCSI, CIWM, CRC was visiting with a good friend of mine in Toronto recently and we were catching up on a number of things. She is a professional organizer, vision coach and certified Daring Way facilitator which makes for an interesting perspective on life. Over the years, we have had good discussions about our different approaches to solving life’s many challenges. Many of our interests overlap but there still remains enough differences in our approaches that discussions will always be insightful. Our discussion that day invariably turned to money and finances because, like many people out there, she always sees me as the “money guy”. I don’t mind the label at all, in fact I do kind of like it. I was never good in sciences during high school but I did manage to retain a few ideas that still serve me today. To be smart with her, I asked her if the Universe likes the presence of a vacuum. She looked at me and said “I don’t know”. I asked her to think back on the experiences of some of her organizing clients and reflect on the outcome of their lives once they had de-cluttered their homes, their offices, their lives, their relationships or any other facets of their lives. She thought for a minute and said something to the effect of “Yes, their lives were changed for the better once they were able to eliminate the various things that were holding them back!” I proceeded to explain to her that the Universe does not like a vacuum. In fact, if you create a vacuum, the Universe will always try to bring things back to a state of balance. There are no exceptions to this rule. What she was doing with her clients as she was helping them sort out their lives was to create a condition to attract more of the good stuff, the things that truly meant something to them now. You see, by purging the things out of their lives that no longer served them, they were able to make room for the attraction of the things that they now desired. Create the vacuum and new, better things will come into your life. People come to see me for help in solving many of their “money” issues. But here’s the thing. It’s not about the money. In many situations that I see, clients are having a hard time achieving their financial goals because something else in their lives is holding them back. It’s my job to help them uncover then work with them to solve the challenges in their lives so that they can move on and achieve their financial objectives. I have seen it time and time again that once these challenges are resolved, abundance is free to enter one’s life again. I always suggest that people take an inventory of the “stuff” in their

lives and see if it is still serving them as intended. Go into the closets, the basement, the garage, your relationships, your bank account and see what is there and what is not. Draw up a list of these items and take the time to analyse them carefully. What is missing in your life? What are the things that you have too much of? Go through this process as if your life depended on it and start making decisions. You have four choices to make with these items: Keep, Gift, Donate, Throw out. The last three actions will serve to purge the unwanted stuff from your life and make ample room for the new. You have, in essence, created that vacuum which the Universe will want to fill back up. This is the opportune time for you to start selecting what is going to come back into your life. Create that dream list and don’t hold back. Is it a better relationship? Is it a new job? Is it a new house? It does not matter what that item is. Now is the time to decide because the vacuum is about to get filled. So choose wisely!

What is Peace?

eace. What does it mean, for you? We desire it, we call for it, we raise banners and march for it…. we have even gone to war for it. (I’m scratching my head on that last point, are you?) Why has this Peace been so elusive? While writing my novel, Each Time She Wakes, the following line manifested: “Peace—the sound of his fears surrendering to her love”. It was by this light that I sensed the flicker of hope. Peace is surrendering your fears to the power of Love. Hope turned to faith as I said the words again. Peace is surrendering your fears to the power Love. Once I understood this simple message, my own life took a different path; I no longer grasped onto my lucrative consulting business. I chose to follow my bliss of completing the novel. The more I connected to the Light of this truth, the more Love it shined for me.

THE SEARCH FOR TRUE HAPPINESS by Deborah Soucie-Landers Human beings have eternally searched for happiness in their lives and yet many questions remain as to how to find true and lasting happiness. The following questions will be examined in a new light :

Is happiness just a word without any tangible meaning ? Can we find happiness in our chaotic world today ? Does our happiness depend on others ? Does a more spiritual existence lead to our ultimate happiness ?

Over several months and a couple of years, I continued to let go, one by one, the road blocks I had set up for myself. Slowly, my path opened and so did my heart. I surrendered each fearful event to the power of Love and trusted that everything will be ok. Each day, I invite my spirit to guide me by the Light of Love within. It is a conscious choice I make each time my ego attempts to use fear. I now “choose Love”. Admittedly, I am a work in progress, but I choose Love in my thoughts, words and actions. I choose to surrender my fears to the power of Love. Will you?

Introduction to Energy Healing By Peggy Lehmann

ould you like to have more balance in your life? Are you curious about how energy healing works and want to know more? You are not alone, and like many others, are probably wondering where to start. In 2009, I developed a class called Introduction to Energy Healing to address these and other similar questions. Every spring and fall since, people have attended to learn more about energy. Introduction to Energy Healing is a one day class that includes energy theory, instruction, and many class exercises. It is truly a course for beginners, discussing basic energy topics in an easy to understand format, and allowing ample opportunity for questions and practical experience through unique group exercises. Most participants completing this class move on to further study of an energy healing modality. Some people want to learn meditation and use their newly acquired skills for personal growth, while others enjoy an interesting way to spend a day. Below are questions often asked about energy and healing with answers drawn from the course material. What is energy? Energy is the universal life force that surrounds all living things. It pulses and flows permeating all space and objects. It is a field of interconnectedness and the essence of our being, with properties that are measurable and some that are not. There are layers of energy surrounding each of us. They are interdependent and sustain our physical bodies. Some of the layers are energetic duplications of our physical, emotional, and mental selves, and all layers are represented by different colours. These colours make up the human aura. Auras interact with other energy centres of the body called chakras, creating each person’s individual energy field. Chakra is a Hindu word meaning “wheels of light,” and these spiralling vortices represent energy points of the subtle body. What does it mean to be in balance? Our physical bodies are a series of amazing and complex mechanisms that are always working to keep us in a balanced state for optimal health. Our vitality is also reflected in the energy that surrounds us, and it is often said that potential illness is detectable as irregularity in our energy field before any physical symptoms occur.

While being in balance may mean different things to different people, it is commonly accepted that sufficient rest, nutrients, oxygen, exercise and water help our bodies function more effectively. Some of the benefits we may notice as a result are clearer thinking, greater energy, and increased ability to manage stress. Achieving a spiritual connection through meditation also encourages harmony and balance. It is well publicized that regular meditation lowers blood pressure. It also helps us to “reset” on many levels and gain perspective. How does energy healing work? During a healing session, energy is channelled through a practitioner who is attuned to receive it, and directed to the energy field of the recipient. This energy has an intelligence, much like the cells of our physical bodies that instinctively work toward a state of balance, and knows where healing is needed. The intention of every energy healing session is for the greatest good of the recipient. Experienced energy healers know that healing can occur in many ways: spiritually, emotionally, mentally, or physically. Once intentions are set, and energy is directed, there is trust in the outcome.

the GROUNDED MASTERS’ network

Is it possible to have reached spiritual mastery & don’t know it?

scended Mastery begins as a journey inspired by the ideal of ascending ones consciousness to the level of enlightenment. The climb up the mountain of consciousness filled us with magic and awe as we untangled the web of misconception about ourselves, as we gained insight into beliefs that no longer served us, as we discovered new connections with people, nature, guides, spirit world and beyond, and as we developed skills in sensitivity that we only imagined possible. These wonders nourish our motivation to continue the journey, to keep the discipline in our life, and to keep questioning the status of normality. The rewards are many as we learn to tap into unlimited power to create at will, channel universal knowledge, share the wisdom of the ancients, become aware of future events, experience time travel & dimensional shifting, contact UFOs, communicate with guides, master astral travel, learn to heal and much more. Having even a hint of success at any of these areas, provides enough incentive to empower us to keep improving. One realization lead to another and the glory of our journey is felt until eventually it became a way of life. Grounded Mastery is learning how to live from a place of Instinctual Truth while in our Immediate Environment

serves our happiness. Understanding and living this is to have full ‘Love of Self’. This new exploration begins as we descend from your mountain top of mastery, bringing with us our newfound glory, back into the world from whence we came. There, we will radiate our glory amongst the masses, thus becoming a true Grounded Master. This journey down the mountain and into the world has also evolved. Each person’s passage continues to make it easier for the next. At this time in history we all benefit from ringing out our unique beingness. By doing so, we birth a new frequency into the consciousness of humanity. This is evolution; this is our joint purpose acting on the principles of change. Our Purpose is not found in the Doing, instead our purpose is Being true to our self. You are invited to acknowledge your place in the Grounded Master’s Network by joining our email list of contacts.groundedmasters@gmail.com or follow along at, www.soulhaven.ca Hugh is a metaphysician, author on the subject of our collective spirit and devotes himself to the principle of change.

Healing with Soul-portraits

If you could see the beauty and perfection of your Soul, what would that look like? If you could capture those virtues and aspects of yourself that you too easily dismiss or undervalue, what would they look like? Could this new vision of you bring about healing? An awakening?

rom infancy, we are taught to be more than what we are, when in fact, we already are so much more than we can possibly imagine. We are Love, beauty, goodness, power, joy, harmony... but when we look in the mirror, we are more likely to see our supposed defects (what we don’t like) than our virtues. All too often, our innate beauty and perfection go unnoticed. In a Soul-portrait, you will physically see your marvelous essence. A Soul-portrait invites you to raise your perspective of who you think you are, and to appreciate your life and purpose in a way that is authentic and conscious. With it, you more easily align with your greatest treasure: the God that resides within. My paintings and other artistic creations have always dealt with the theme of the Soul’s journey towards understanding, towards mastery, and its process of evolution and transformation into Light and Love. When preparing to do these personalized Soulportraits, I meditate, opening myself up to inspiration. I

try to connect with the Higher Self, that part of you that has lived other lives in this, or parallel, dimensions and that, from its more expanded and loving perspective, is always ready to guide you in your life adventure. I try to see with the eyes of my heart, of my soul, to capture this energy and perceive the images and vibrations that wish to be conveyed through me at this moment to the human personality that embodies them. The Soul-portrait that emerges does not claim to be THE definitive and only view of your immense and eternal dimension. It may not even necessarily physically look like you. Some portraits may be more abstract, others more realistic. Some may represent several virtues of the soul, while others only those virtues that that most seek to be expressed at this moment. Our Soul is so much grander than any one work of art could ever express. Soul-portraits are available in different sizes.

Love In The New Dimension Channelled by Lisa Virtue

e are speaking today as a team, to connect you with those of us who wish you nothing but peace and happiness for your lives, as you desire. Through love we guide and assist, shaping your world with you into one where you can express your inner most voice, your passions and desires, your beliefs, your thoughts, your beauty. All are here for their various reasons. Yet the one constant is love. Love presides through all things. A deficiency of awareness, or focus to love can be felt in many situations. Other times it fills you, it surrounds you, it exudes out of you in such beautiful manner. Up and down and all around are shades of love. Coming forth into a new reality, a new dimension of space and time, you are to feel more, to connect more openly with each other. To fuel your passion with the understanding of the value of expression. And yet you will be coming more from a state of communion and connection, and so expression comes in beautiful ways. So this new raising of your consciousness to the level that’s coming is to be heralded, in a way, with the awareness more intensely of the love that resides in all things. So come in to your hearts. Come and hear your inner voice and follow that lead to and through all interactions, whether they be brief or longer term. Find your way to accept those as they are, and to assist in changes as they require, or ask, yet holding yourself free from judging. You are able to assess and make distinctions, and, yes, even preferences, but judging implies that there is a mistake. Something considered completely incorrect. Learning happens through all stages. And so what is not right for you has not become that for another. Help them to grow as they wish, from

a place of peaceful acceptance and encouragement towards their own heart-centre self-expression. What you witness when another is aggressive, or demeaning, or negative in a way that you do not prefer, is that there’s an element you are exploring that needs some clarification and there is an aspect of them as well, exploring this. So together you can find new perspectives, through an approach coming from the heart-centre this time around. As you travel dimensionally through vibrational spacetime, you’ll find you come in to new ways of being that feel somewhat uncomfortable or foreign. At first there is time needed to adapt, but you will progress quickly, in time, to a new comfort level of this feeling-from-theheart business. So, an awareness now you’ve been given of this shift that’s occurring, and we welcome you to the transdimensional state of affairs. To help you enjoy your transition more readily, more fully, connect inward. Find that still space within to reside calmly. Bring your awareness within and allow the guidance that comes for you that feels peaceful and natural, to assist you on your way, on your new path in this new reality. With great love, we are here as your helpers, in, of, as spirits. Lisa Virtue is a trans-dimensional light worker who connects readily with other realms. She is a guide for those who need assistance in their transitioning. Ask her for assistance if you need. Come to her when you have questions. You may find her energy tuning alleviates some symptoms of transition. She assists in finding your vibrational alignment more in tune with this progression.
