Welcome to the Planet Botanix Wellness Clinic!

hat is energy? It might be simpler to ask what energy isn’t. Energy as we know it can come from heat, light, motion, electrical, chemical, gravitational or nuclear sources. (Yes, I consulted a kids’ website for that info). Also, if you are matter, you are energy.

When we talk about energy work, we are referring to the shifts that can be made when energy is moved inside the body on physical, emotional and spiritual levels. Chakras are energy centres within the bodies. Many modalities help balance these areas, which in turn balances a part of one’s life that may be out of alignment.

After all, we are made of energy.

What is Energy Psychology?

E

nergy Psychology (EP) is the name for a broad range of psychological treatments that utilize the human energy system. The treatments I use that are included in this group are treatments such as Emotion Freedom Technique (EFT), Emotion Codes, Healing Touch, Hypnotherapy, Reiki, and SomatoEmotional Release.

Each of these intentionally utilizes one of the human energy systems – such as the meridian system, the belief system, the chakra system or the aura system – during treatment.

There are also many energetic healing modalities that do not use psychological processes – such as chi gong, acupuncture, aromatherapy, reflexology, etc. – and these are not called “energy psychology” treatments. The term “Energy Psychology” refers only those therapies that use both psychological interventions and energetic interventions together in a particular treatment format.

Why Use the Energy System for Psychological Healing and Growth?

Traditional psychotherapy has utilized the power of speech to transform emotions. Through talking about one’s feelings, experiences and struggles, one is often able to come to a better understanding of oneself, develop new ways of viewing things, and begin to consider new alternatives. However, discussion alone does not have the power to significantly change one’s innermost world.

Energy Psychology techniques add one more unique therapeutic dimension. By correcting a disruption in the energy system, these techniques can bring complete balance within a disturbed internal pattern and virtually “re-wire” the inner world.

“Re-Wiring” the Inner World From the point of view of Energy Psychology, painful physical, emotional and spiritual symptoms are the result of a disruption in the energy system. When the disruption is corrected, symptoms will be replaced by healthy functioning. For instance, a phobic response to spiders would be replaced by a calm response to spiders.

Negative emotions (fear, panic, anger, helplessness, confusion, etc.) are replaced by inner peace.

How is EP Used in Therapy?

Energy Psychology is used as a particular treatment within therapy. I am not necessarily “techniqueoriented” but rather “client-oriented.” After discussing the issues, I select the appropriate therapeutic intervention depending upon my client’s moment to moment needs. Depending on the situation, I may choose any one of a multitude of interventions, from empathic listening to hypnosis and everything in between. Energy Psychology techniques are only one of the possible ways to help a client work through an issue – therefore they are simply tools that are utilized within the context of a good therapy session.

Healing Through Letting Go Letting go is also energizing. Let’s see how this works.

Letting go is truly is healing, but not always easy. Let’s explore the topic of letting go toWe have within us an abundance of energy. Truth is, gether. the majority of people don’t fully access this energy. Our

W

e can all appreciate that life is in constant flux.

We also know we can try to resist change, but in the end life happens. I may wish not to age or to be in a different place in my life, but life has its way since much of what happens is out of my control. So we move forward to the best of our ability. However, are we really moving forward if we tend to hold onto the past? Imbedded in all ancient contemplative practices and deep philosophies is the truth that everything changes. We change, everyone changes and so does everything around us. Additionally, in those ancient texts it states that letting go will enable us to be energized, clear and ultimately ready to welcome the future.

In fact, letting go leads to a great potential and knowing that everything changes can be seen positively. It means that we are never permanently fixed; however we can use this law of change in a favourable way. The beauty of this principle is that the flow of life can go either towards greater openness and light or towards resentment and negativity. Truly, we have the ability to transform our body and mind to a higher or more developed state of existence if we learn to direct our life force appropriately.

6

tendencies and thought patterns are the main culprits or blockages that prevent us from fully accessing our energy. Letting go helps us to shift resistance patterns, or negative patterns, towards a more open, positive, compassionate position for myself and all.

Doing so is energizing, and all the energy spent in resisting, or dwelling in the past can now be used constructively.

This is where the gentle, yet profound, techniques of hypnosis can access blockages or resistance patterns to release them. Creativity then flows like pristine mountain water, carrying a clarity and light that may be surprising. Within our human nature is an evolutionary drive, a desire to succeed, to

Question: How can we find true meaning and fulfillment in our lives?

SRI CHINMOY: Let us try to know ourselves. Let us try to observe what we truly are. Often in our dayto-day existence, we feel that we have nowhere to go, nothing to achieve and nothing to give. But what we truly are is totally different from what we feel. We are all God’s children. At each moment, God is pouring into us something divine and something truthful. He expects much from us, but nothing beyond our capacity.

He knows what we can consciously offer to Him. We may feel that we are weak, unimportant and useless.

But in God’s eyes, we are divine, we are fruitful, we are infinite.

We are making a most deplorable mistake when we feel that there is nothing beyond the physical or, at the same time, nothing in the physical. To discover our true Self, either we have to go deep inside the inmost recesses of our heart, or we have to go beyond the body, beyond the physical consciousness. Mere preaching will not do; book study will not do. If we go beyond our body, beyond our physical consciousness, we see infinite peace, joy, bliss and power all eagerly waiting for us.

We know that there is something that we call the soul. When we go deep within, we see and feel the soul.

The soul is the representative of God here on earth, a spark of God. He is in the soul and with the soul, guiding it constantly. A human being can never be separated from God. God is playing His divine Game and at each moment He is revealing Himself in and through us.

God has a particular divine mission to fulfill through your unique soul. To fulfill this mission, He will utilize your soul and no other as His chosen instrument.

If we can be in tune with the constant, spontaneous music of the soul, our lives will be free from suffering, misery, frustration, fear and worry. Our lives will be a constant success, a constant achievement and a constant spontaneous experience of inner and outer fulfilment.

Creating a Better Life The Amazing Benefits of Quantum Biofeedback Technology

Written by Rev. Alexis Nicol

Sherry Harris, MSW, RSW, Psychotherapist, Spiritual Counsellor, Energy Healing

I

o you ever wonder why things seem to happen over and over again and again to the same people?

It mightn’t be an identical scenario but the underlying theme is usually the same. Such as jealously, guilt, trust, “bad luck”, family drama - the list goes on and on.

You may think you’re over it and sure you’ve dealt with the problem, when out of the blue you get hit/hurt again. This is a good indication that more inner work still needs to be done. One way to tell if you’ve truly risen above the suffering would be when you encounter it and it just seems to float by with barely a notice. Most likely your healing has been internalized and quite possibly won’t be an issue again. I am of the belief that whatever the theme may be, if it keeps coming back then there is more healing needed.

Notice something recurring in your life? Ask yourself what life is trying to tell you. What can you do to invest in your own healing? This can be a scary process to go through on your own. Outside guidance from a counsellor, spiritual advisor, Reiki, etc. can inspire healing. When you value yourself and are persistent much can be accomplished - miracles happen.

For me, receiving Reiki energy was life-changing. I gained personal insight and guidance. Reiki energy is gentle, loving and nurturing and if/when necessary it can also be “kick-ass” (but always with Love). It comes from the Universal Life Force which is Omniscient, allknowing and of the purist of all Creation. How can it fail? It doesn’t, only our perception can be deceptive and corrupt.

When Energy work like Reiki comes from a pure source via a clear channel, miracles can and are more apt to happen.

All one needs is an open mind and a willingness to take the initiative towards creating a better life.

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

am working with a new quantum biofeedback technology called the Genius Insight. The software provides a means of assessing your vibrational frequency through voice analysis, a current picture, and your birth date. Your assessed frequency is then compared to other frequencies that have been programmed into the software. A score is generated between 777 and 0 indicating your degree of reactivity in various areas of body, mind and spirit. Reactivity indicates a degree of disharmony between the person or animal and the particular frequency being tested. Over 600 may indicate inflammation, under 200 chronic, long term issues. Whatever the imbalance, the software assesses it and creates the appropriate frequency to balance it out and bring harmony to the overall system.

This system is very powerful and brings about energetic changes very quickly. I am only to happy to provide a free demo for anyone who would like to experience the Genius Insight and thinks they might be interested in working with this energy balancing and harmonizing system.

I

t feels true to me that every person right now is being asked to step up and be more spiritually diligent to bring their field into greater unification with Source and the natural laws.

Each person, whether new seeker or seasoned, has had to awaken to a deep truth: “I’m responsible for myself, and whatever it takes to feel Light, to be Light, and shine Light is totally up to me.”

Life can feel very effortful if you recognize that what you’re living is not exactly serving you, but you’re not taking the time to ask yourself what needs to change.

Instead a quasi-review leaves you hoping for the best.

This is somewhat understandable because the negative controllers’ agenda is to wear humanity down with daily life demands, so that there’s no room for reflection, soul connection, possibilities, or seeing ourselves in truth.

While it can be unsettling and even daunting to think of how much lies before you to heal, remember that your foundation is your ever-accessible Divine connection. To continue to entangle yourself in ego’s version of who you are will never help you to grow. So always connect with your Higher Self and offer up inquiry from your sincere heart. See what comes back to guide you. What you don’t like in your life, heal. What you already love, love more deeply.

It means knowing your heart, character strengths and skills, weaknesses and vulnerabilities, your fears, and the threshold of your comfort zone. This requires deeper self-reflection, selfhonesty and a willingness to listen. Now. To move into the next phase of your Highest Expression, ask yourself: • What would create the most positive change for me in my consciousness expansion now?

• What would bring me into deeper truth with myself now?

• What would open my heart to myself now?

Cultivating Erotic Energy

Our Most Powerful Tool for Personal Growth

By Tracy Montgomery, CSB

L

ife is energy. We are energy, and we were all born from sexual energy, that core of fire within that burns to have experiences, to connect, to create, to bloom, to feel pleasure and joy. Our sexuality is an intrinsic part of who we are, and connecting to our erotic energy invites joyful living, bringing pleasure and aliveness into our life experience and our relationships. It’s not just about getting turned on sexually, but getting turned on to lifecreatively, sensually, intellectually, and by making a difference in the world.

Humans are made to experience pleasure. Pleasure nurtures and heals. It alters blood chemistry and enhances brain function. Pleasure invites connection, building trust and resiliency. Allowing and experiencing pleasure is an invitation to express our true selves with courage, passion and creativity.

Unfortunately, limits to pleasure are pervasive in a culture that shames sexuality and fails to teach us how to honor and celebrate our creative, generative, life-force energy. We have been taught that sexual energy is dirty or wrong; something to be hidden and ignored.

Supressing our erotic energy means that we are disconnected from the source of power and vitality that is our birthright.

12

Connecting to our erotic energy invites us to flourish by expanding our inner awareness, our feelings of worthiness, and our trust in ourselves and in the world around us. It empowers us to live our best, most creative and fulfilling life, engaging our creative, generative energy in service of our life’s purpose.

Sexual energy is natural, innocent and good.

Erotic energy moving through the body can feel like gentle warmth, shivering or tingling. It can be profoundly relaxing, hugely arousing, or sweetly satisfying - as subtle as champagne bubbles or big, pulsing and enlivening. When we allow our erotic energy to flow, we experience greater connection to self, others and the Divine. Cultivating our erotic energy opens us to inspiration and insight, and invites feelings of peace happiness and well-being.

Our erotic energy is a powerful resource we can use to expand our lives physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually, allowing us to offer our best, most authentic selves to the world. ©2018 Tracy Montgomery is a somatic sex educator who offers erotic learning to those who want to expand their capacity for pleasure, love and joy, heal sexual dysfunction or the wounds of sexual abuse, and explore the intersection of sex and spirit. She works privately with individuals and couples, facilitates the Ottawa Snuggle Salon and offers interactive workshops on healthy sexuality.

Stepping Into Your Power

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

daniel@praxiswealthinstitute.ca www.praxiswealthinstitute.ca

I

had a booth this past January at the Ottawa Health and Wellness show and many of the discussions that I was having with people who stopped by to say hello and chat, were all about taking control of one’s life.

After the show I did a quick compilation of my interactions and noticed that the people I had talked too fell into three categories: Out of their Power, Moving into their Power and In their Power. I don’t have the space in this short article to discuss the differences with all three. Suffice it to say that you can clearly see that there is a continuum at play here and that the most desirable one to be in is being In Your Power.

Being fully in your power is a state when you are in the driver’s seat of your destiny. It is impossible to control every single aspect of your life, but this is not what I’m talking about. What I’m saying is that once you have a clear vision of what your life is going to look like and you are taking all the necessary steps to implement your vision, you are then in your power. You have clearly made the decision to control your destiny in all these life arenas: Health and Wellness, Relationships, Finances, Family, Career, Work, Spirituality.

I’ve said it before many times that when you are in control of your destiny, life becomes magical. Short term setbacks don’t affect you because you know exactly where you are going. You have all the physical, emotional and financial resources to achieve your goals and if you don’t, you know that they will show up to assist you

when you need them the most. You build on the small successes that you experience along this journey.

Getting off the Emotional Roller-Coaster

By Ghanshyam Singh Birla, Vedic Palmist

T

he first thing that struck me about Diane during our initial consultation was her genuinely loving nature.

“Diane, you have a truly beautiful heart!”

“Really? Well . . . if my heart is so great Ghanshyam, please tell me why my relationship with my boyfriend feels like an endless rollercoaster ride? He just can’t seem to commit. What’s wrong with him?”

I told Diane her hands indicated that while she longed for a stable and committed relationship, she also wanted her freedom.

“You’re right Ghanshyam. I didn’t realize it before— but I want both. I’ve been blaming my boyfriend for our problems when the problem is actually with me . . . he may not want to commit, but maybe that’s the reason I chose him in the first place. I put myself on this rollercoaster and it is up to me to decide whether or not to get off.”

This was a major revelation for Diane, but it was also a first step. When she left my office that day she

Dominant Right Hand

Non-Dominant Left Hand A study of her hands provided some surprising answers to her questions.

In her dominant hand—(the hand we use to write) related to our personality and through which we present ourselves to the world—Diane’ heart line was long, deep and graciously rounded, revealing her immense capacity to love.

However, in her non-dominant hand—the hand related to our deep-rooted subconscious urges, habits and behavior—Diane’s heart line turned sharply downward, reflecting a significant distrust of others.

Also in this hand, her union line—which reflects our capacity to be in a committed relationship—was turned upwards, indicating her own ambiguity toward her romantic partner.

was eagerly anticipating our next session. She wanted to probe the mysteries of her heart more deeply to dis- cover why she was uncertain in love and feared committing to a serious relationship.

The road will break your heart one moment exhilarating the next moment devastating but always generous either way and free from prejudice To cultivate a taste for all of it to craft beauty from wreckage to recognize that it too must have its season and become the compost of what’s to come No one in their right mind chooses THAT! But we are all chosen and a small few of right mind feeling the approaching tide and what it whispers will undo themselves before being forced undone Naked on the human road and still in love with life and mystery knowing less and less each day a songbird now having landed and built a nest in their heart Crafting beauty from wreckage is indeed a skill. I have found, when working with most folks, that the aversion to things not going well or according to plan can be the source of an insidious rigidity that doesn’t grant room for the compassion that might otherwise take root in the fertile soil of loss when we finally surrender to how things really are.

The battle to keep what no longer works afloat is itself a violence to the soul as well as a violence to the horizon of possibility that recedes from us as we insist on our right answers .. and this fixedness reveals itself in how we speak to ourselves and with each other.

Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy: Healing Through Touch and Presence

B

iodynamic Craniosacral Therapy (BCST) is a gentle, hands on therapy which releases tensions, eases pain and encourages the body to balance and heal. It is deeply relaxing, increases physical vitality and well being, and can bring about profound healing at all levels: physical, mental, and emotional. The therapy is nonmanipulative and relies on the body’s own intelligence to heal itself. Though subtle in approach, it is remarkably effective for a whole range of conditions including muscular pain, joint/sport injuries, allergies, sinusitis, digestive problems, sleep problems, chronic pain, anxiety and recovery from trauma.

Body Intelligence Training is offering a 2 year (10 seminars) practitioner course in Biodynamic Craniosacral Therapy in Ottawa starting this March. It is appropriate for existing health professionals considering adding a new modality to their work, as well as individuals without a health background who want to start a career in an exciting and evolving therapy.

The training is biodynamic in its approach, orienting to the body’s natural wisdom and allowing innate intelligent processes to arise and bring about lasting change.

Students learn to feel expressions of health as subtle biodynamic motions that take place in the tissues and fluids of the body. They cultivate an ability to be deeply present with whatever arises in a client. The training emphasizes the development of palpatory, perceptual and treatment skills which the student practitioner can integrate in a step by step process.

Training starts in Ottawa March 21st

HELP IS HERE!

H

ow do you find the energy of 2018 so far? Just look at the weather. The temperature went from record low to record high- chaotic, fluctuating, unpredictable!!!

That’s what the energy seems to be like. Do you wonder why one day you are feeling great, when with everything works well and then there are times when it takes a big effort for you to stay afloat! Also, more people seem to be getting sick!

This pattern is going to stay for sometime.

How can we manage to stay well both physically and emotionally? To HELP you feel more stable emotionally and physically, on Saturday, April 14th, Sifu James will introduce you to different frequencies. He will then guide you through the process using different frequencies and connecting to multiple dimensions.

In the morning of April 14 from 9:30 to noon, there will be an introduction to Qi-Matic Qigong and its evolution. Qi Means energy and Matic means automatic.

Learn how this energy healing modality changes with the rising energy of planet earth. Come and join us in a “community” environment to experience it. It is highly recommended for anyone who is interested in self healing and wanting to learn the most up-to-date knowledge on how to use energy for maintaining wellness In the afternoon, from 1 pm to 3 pm, Sifu James will introduce different frequencies for you to experience and use to stay centered amongst all the chaos. Do you want to have a good night’s sleep or have the ability to stay afloat when all around you things or people seem to be falling apart. Frequencies such as 38 and 8 helps me

stay happy and upbeat. Deactivate 7 and 7.5 keeps my mind quiet and focused. I call them my best frequency friends. Of course there are many other frequencies you will learn and experience during this afternoon.

For myself and other students who have attended Sifu James’ workshop, we love using his techniques to help maintain balance in our life.

This workshop ends with a meditation where you will experience with the guidance of Sifu James a connection to the 5th Dimension. He will do a group healing during this meditation. One of his areas of expertise is the ability to remove emotional baggage that may show up for people during this meditation.

Sifu James’ natural gift of being able to see energy, aids him during this unique process of emotional baggage clearing.

TACT2 - The second Trial to Assess Chelation Therapy

By Richard Nahas MD Medical Director, The Seekers Centre Assistant Professor, Department of Family Medicine, University of Ottawa

S

Lead & Cadmium Most people over 50 are exposed to toxic amounts of lead every day, and their bones are the source. An entire life’s lead exposure is stored in the bones, and in

e

ince the first report on chelation therapy in 1956, chelation has been a popular alternative treatment for cardiovascular disease. To assess the efficacy of chelation, an international clinical trial was funded in 2002. When the Trial to Assess Chelation Therapy (TACT) results were finally published in 2013, they revealed two important findings: that chelation works, and that it is a historic game-changer for diabetes.

A second trial has been designed to confirm the benefit of this important treatment and better understand how it works. If you are a diabetic, over 50 and have suffered a heart attack, you may be eligible for TACT2.

What is Chelation?

The word chelation comes from ‘chele’, which is Greek for ‘claw’. A molecule that can form strong double bonds with metals is called a chelator. The molecule used in chelation therapy for heart disease is called disodium ethylenediaminetetraacetic acid, or disodium EDTA. It is thought to work by binding and eliminating harmful lead and cadmium from the body.

These two metals are both on the top ten list of hazardous substances ranked by the Agency for Toxic Substances and Disease Registry. Like mercury, arsenic and other metals that have no role in the body, they are called xenobiotic metals. While it is not yet clear exactly how EDTA chelation works, current thinking is that the benefit seen in TACT is related to its ability to bind and eliminate xenobiotic metals from the body. This is supported by evidence that links these metals to heart disease, and might explain its greater effect in diabetes.

Dr. Richard Nahas MD.

the time before it was banned, virtually everyone was exposed to lead in gasoline and paint. Some people are still exposed to lead in water pipes, bullets, soldering or toys. Whatever the source, lead is stored in bones, which releases into the bloodstream again and again as your bones remodel over time.

The harm that is done by this lead has been demonstrated in many studies. Several studies have linked higher blood lead levels to increased risk of cardiovascular mortality and all-cause mortality. In the Normative Aging Study, those with higher bone lead levels were at an 8.37 times increased risk of cardiovascular mortality. This study is important because it measured bone lead levels, which is considered a more accurate measure of total body burden than blood lead, which only reflects recent exposure.

There are several ways in which lead might lead to heart disease. Lead increases blood pressure in animal models, and in vitro studies show that it blocks the production of nitric oxide, a molecule that relaxes arteries, by inhibiting and enzyme called endothelial nitric oxide synthetase (eNOS). Lead also promotes oxidative stress and inflammation.

The story of cadmium is similar to that of lead.

Cadmium is another highly toxic metal that can harm arteries. Cigarette smoke is the most significant source, but everyone is exposed to some cadmium. That is because plants, fruits and grains absorb it from the soil, so there are traces in most of our food. It can damage arteries just like lead can, and it has also been linked to heart disease. At least some of the benefit seen in TACT is likely related to removing cadmium from the body.

Many toxic compounds that damage arteries in diabetes cannot be made without metals. This includes advanced glycation end-products (AGEs), advanced lipoxygenation endproducts (ALEs) and protein oxidation products. This may explain the increased benefit seen in TACT in those with diabetes.

It is proposed that EDTA infusions promote cardiovascular health by removing harmful metals that can cause heart disease from the body. This has led some to suggest that these xenobiotic metals are a new modifiable cardiac risk factor.

TACT and TACT2 The potential benefit of chelation in diabetes is significant. In the original TACT trial, 1708 patients were given 55,222 infusions and monitored for an average of 55 months. Of these, 608 (37%) had diabetes, and among these patients, the chelation group had a 43% lower risk of death from any cause (HR: 0.57 [95% CI: 0.36 to 0.88], p=0.011), and a 52% lower risk of another heart attack (HR: 0.48 [95% CI: 0.26 to 0.88], p=0.015).

What is more intriguing about these results is that the benefit of treatment continued long after the last infusion. The treatment group had their last infusion about 14 months after enrolment, but their risk continued to decline over the entire 5-year period. This not seen in any other current treatment for diabetes.

It also supports the hypothesis that removing metals improves vascular health.

The goal of TACT2 is to replicate these findings. 1200 patients will be enrolled to receive 40 weekly infusions and take oral capsules daily. Just like TACT, this trial has a 2x2 design, which means that the infusions will either contain the active TACT infusion or a placebo, and the capsules will contain vitamins and minerals or placebo. Each infusion takes about three hours.

The goal is to see whether diabetic patients receiving chelation therapy have fewer heart attacks, strokes or deaths than those receiving placebo, and whether there are any differences in quality of life.

Call 613-727-7246, or email trials@seekerscentre. com for more information or to book your TACT2 screening appointment.

Are you caught in a vicious circle in which you hate and punish yourself and are repulsed by your own body, while at other times, you are able to love yourself and function in a daily routine, but you relapse repeatedly?

Have you seen yourself hiding from the world, your family and your friends, refusing invitations and avoiding certain situations because you feel inferior and misunderstood?

Believe me. I understand. We believe you!

Are you on a waiting list to receive health services, therapy sessions or supportive care and attention from regional support centres and non-profit organizations for your abuse(s)?

50 is the new 40

I am turning 50 May 4th and am on a little bit of a journey I call the #roadto50 www.youtube.com/results?search_query=jl+core) Just to give you an elevator pitch version of who I am..here goes...I am a former Federal Government employee who left in the summer of 2012 to open my own home based studio in the small city of Greely.

My business is called JL CORE and I have built a name for myself. When are expansion teams came Ottawa (Redblacks/Fury Pro soccer team) I was hired from a handful of applicants as their Performance Recovery Coach and worked with them for two years. Prior to that was with the 67’s for 5 years.

In my home based studio JL CORE INC. I train over 40 ladies which is my real love and passion to be honest. I also love to put myself to the test and decided at 43 to compete in my first Drug free Athletics bikini competion and placed 1st.

Now fast forward 6 years I am going to be competing in another one May 12th and turning 50 May 4th. I decided in January after Christmas that I needed a challenge and want to slide into in style, looking and feeling better than when I was 40!! I have hired coach work full time and have two young beautiful boys who I love more than life itself. I have also decided to document the journey highs and lows so I can look back when I am old and grey (as I still feel like I am 20 :)) and remind myself of the journey and what it took to pull this off at 50 years of age.

So youtube and Facebook have been my platform of late. My other reason for this mainly is to show women out there that they can do anything they set their minds to and that can be anything even at 50. Women go thru so much in their 50’s (hair loss/weight gain/periods that are out of WHACK you name it). I at am a big believer that your mind plays the biggest role in setting you up for failure or help you see that goal through.

From the inside out I always say to my clients which is the essence and meaning of my logo (four circles) which is KEY to the 4 links of life and your success at anything to set your mind to ......MIND (SPIRIT, SOUL)/BODY (FITNESS)/NUTRITION/MOVEMENT (MOBILITY/ YOGA). So that being said “GOOD THINGS COME TO THOSE WHO WAIT?” I call bullshit on that and say NO WAY go after what you want and believe and MAKE IT HAPPEN. Which is why I am sharing this article with you :) Im going after my dreams because even old farts like me have dreams :) its about keeping your spirit alive and shaking things up. Remember 50 is the new 40 :) take care and thx for much for reading my article.

12 Months To A Better You

Fermented Foods and Workshop H ave you ever caught yourself saying: “I need to start eating better”? For the most part, we know what to do but it’s difficult to get motivated to do it, and to be consistent. Building new healthy habits is challenging.

Goals are important and give us something to aim for, and if we can focus on our habits, these will help us to reach our goals. If your goal is to eat healthy, or to be more ‘nutritionally fit’ as I like to put it, I am here to help. Over the next 12 months, I will offer nutritional and fitness guidance, one new habit at a time, to help you to attain your overarching goal.

Your new healthy habit for March is to “Ground your guts”, by adding one fermented food into your mornings. More specifically, try a Kefir Smoothie for breakfast!

Kefir can be bought at the grocery store or you can make your own at home (more on that a little later).

Smoothies are an easy way to load your body up with nutrients and using Kefir milk as your liquid base makes will supercharge your smoothie. Kefir is like

milk on steroids, containing high levels of probiotics as well as vitamin b12, magnesium, calcium, folate, biotin and enzymes. It’s great way to start the day!

I started with the store bought kind, but in trying to cut my sugar down, I found it hard to find brands with low sugar content. So, after learning about Kefir Grains and how simple it is to make your own Kefir, I thought I would give it a go! I got my first Kefir grain from my fermenting mentor with whom I have teamed up to run hands-on fermenting workshops in Ottawa to help bring back this healthy tradition.

Adding fermented foods to your diet is one of the first healthy eating habits I suggest to many of my clients. Personally, I have suffered from IBS for years, and I went back to school to study nutrition in order to help heal my gut because nothing the medical system was able to offer me was helping.

Eating fermented foods everyday changed the health of my digestive system and in turn, my overall health and well being. Everything ran smoother. No stomach pains, no bloating and a lot of my food sensitivities dissipated. I just felt better.

Whether or not your have IBS, food sensitivities, a low-functioning immune system, or other digestive issues going on, introducing fermented foods to your daily diet can help you heal.

Our ancestors have been fermenting foods for centuries. Besides being a healthy way to preserve foods, fermenting also boosts the nutritional value of food. continued on next page

Indian Head Massage

Ancient Healing Art Finds A New Meaning For Women Relax ~ Rejuvenate ~ Refresh

I

ndian Head Massage (IHM) was developed by Indian women as part of their daily grooming routine, which has relevance for us today. We all know that amazing feeling of a ‘really good head massage’ from our hairdresser.

We view our scalp as separate from us and either forgot the importance of paying attention to the head or treat it in a different way. In many places in India, the scalp is regarded as an extension of the body skin needing care and attention.

IHM is a simple and effective session IHM is a technique that works on the head and upper body and ending with balancing the bodies’ energy systems; no need to remove clothing.

From feelings of general relaxation, releasing tight and painful muscles, easing stiffness, and breaking down knots in muscles, to uplifting the spirit are a few of the many reported benefits of this wonderful healing practice. A client commented recently, “I’m amazed how fast and deep the IHM takes me to such a peaceful place.”

Indian Head Massage For Women or Children Carve out well-deserved “me time” Enjoy relaxation with possible health benefits By appointment only, Marie Smith, B.A. B.Ed. Certified Practitioner, IHM @ ihmmetime@gmail.com

We have become so busy in our lives that we forget to take time for ourselves. Having an IHM session carves out space to come together for a short period of time that can change our lives. All we need to do is slow down, relax and re-connect with ourselves.

One important thing in our busy lives is that we are meant to have the human contact, to heal ourselves and integrate back into ones wholeness.

To schedule a session, contact Marie Smith, IHM Certified Practitioner at ihmmetime@gmail.com To find out more information about IHM go to the Canadian Centre of Indian Head Massage website, www. indianheadmassagecanada.com

Fermented foods and drinks are loaded with beneficial bacteria and vitamins that are important for our health and well being. Our body is made up of many of bacterial cells, the majority of which live in your digestive system. What that means is that the health of your gut bacteria directly impacts the health of the rest of your body.

Our next workshop is coming up Sunday April 29 2018, where you’ll get your own Kefir grains and learn some more recipes you can add to your breakfast. You can find more information here: www.personalizedfitness.ca/fermentedfoods.

Dream of the Great White Owl By: Rhonda J. Brioux (rhondabrioux@gmail.com)

Oral Health is Now Essential for Total Health Call for a free consultation 613 234-5758 www.dolphindentistry.com info@dolphindentistry.com

Perched high on my chair, high on my stucco and stone front porch I hear a call to my purpose… a tall healing force.

Swift swirling shawls of snow…

Tossing and turning like wide, white gusts of smoke from a fire.

As the fire within.

Touching the outstretched branches of the tree tops and the endless spirit of the land.

I sense a higher power, a rite of passage I come to understand.

In the pauses between the panting wind, I feel the pulse of the plants beneath me… the river within, and the song of hope in every hibernating species.

I close my eyes and dream of the Great White Owl… stretching it’s wings so wide, as it swoops down from the old oak tree… straight into the soul of me.

As I open my eyes, I see an ivory feather and fear life is not forever.

As fragile as the dance of a thousand specks of snow… designed in a single flake, Inclined to melt in a second upon my skin as I wake.

I see time stand still for but a moment… and my own children grow older.

Suddenly my passions pass in rapid scenes and reality is far more intense than it seems.

I grasp hold of my courage and gather my love.

I remember symbols of truth… I open to visions.

Spreading my arms to the children and stretching my soul to the sky.

I return to my “modern day” life, I return more radiant from day dream Swearing there is hope for you and I. As sure as the snow will melt in Spring, Looking onward armed with medicine of significant sight … I believe I can fly.

And my words are as worthy as the feather of the Great White Owl, as my spirit take flight. so can you…just as I.

5Rhythms Returned My Body

By Evangelos Diavolitsis

I

n my early 30s, I felt something was missing in my life.

I needed external stimuli to be happy, and I suffered from acute anxiety when things did not go my way. I did not know who I was, what motivated me, or how this ‘self’ was created. I needed to find myself.

Through a series of meditation retreats, I concluded that I did not want my body. It seemed to be a burden.

I had to feed it, clothe it, keep it in shape, monitor it, massage it, etc. When meditating, my body often disappeared; the ‘I’ had separated itself. A friend once stuck a needle in my foot and there was no feeling. This is sometimes referred to as Zen Illness. I had managed to use meditation to repeat my lifelong pattern of numbing myself and disconnecting from the world.

Using tools like breathing meditation can misguide us on the path to liberation. Taking refuge in meditation, I had isolated myself. People seemed like too much work.

A healer suggested that I attend a 5Rhythms movement meditation class to get grounded. After my first two-hour class, I felt physically alive! I could feel my feet, my belly, and the lightness of my elbows.

Through movement, music, and good ‘ole fashioned sweat, my mind and body became stronger and clearer. I started to connect, express, and share with a community who understood me and accepted me. We danced and created a non-verbal movement culture that transcended everyday relating. I attended every class twice a week for two years and felt a profound transformation.

The calming effects of formal sitting meditation and a regular practice of the 5Rhythms dance combined with the investigative approach of Tibetan Buddhism became the holy trinity of mindfulness in my life. In my exploration, I learned to take refuge in the mind that is awake, in the teachings that keep me awake, and in any community willing to make the effort to stay awake.

Now, I meditate at the Dharma Hub in Calgary, live in a conscious community, and teach and practice the 5Rhythms. Learning how to balance bliss, wisdom, stillness, and movement has not been easy. It actually takes great discipline to become a free spirited dancer.

I have realized when I am in a good state and feeling connected to the earth, I am in community. When I leave my body, numb out from meditation, and withdraw, I am out of community. A healthy, balanced practice of formal sitting meditation combined with the 5Rhythms empowers me to take my calm mind and express it in the world with wild physical creativity.

The 5Rhythms (Flowing, Staccato, Chaos, Lyrical & Stillness) are patterns of movement which anyone can do everyday as a grounding spiritual practice. These dance waves returned me to my body and to my community. I am eternally grateful to have discovered their magic.

To experience the 5Rhythms movement practice, attend The Hero’s Journey, April 6-8, at Centre Wakefield La Pêche. https://meditationmoves.ca/ event/the-heros-journey-ottawa/

Art as Energy Work

by Louise Lalande, coCreations

W

e all share something in common, the energy that flows through us, individually as well as universally. This energy is almost indescribable since it isn’t as clear to our senses, but it is real. Energy is as difficult to explain as trying to describe colour to a blind person. In fact, colour is hard enough to describe to anyone, as colour exists ONLY through us.

As deconstructed by the Illuminating Engineering Society, colour vision is an illusion created by the interactions of billions of neurons in our brain. There is no colour in the external world; it is created by neural programs and projected onto the outer world we see.

Colour is created by utilizing two properties of light: energy and frequency of vibration or wavelength.

As with light is energy; both invisible on their own, they touch us in all aspects of our lives – indoor, outdoors, home, work, day and night. It is impossible to imagine what our lives would be like without these invisible concepts, and powerful to know how to work with them.

Energy or Life Force has intelligence. The energy that created us in the womb is the same that makes flowers and trees shoot up. It has an inherent knowledge of what is needed to sustain us. How does it know how to make our hair grow, our digestion complete, how does it keep our body temperature within a few degrees, repel microbes? In short, what is it that makes our heart beat?

Energy is neutral - nor good or bad. We give it attributes but they are solely based on our experience, the stories we’ve bought into and our perception. These stories affect our beliefs, our habits, our life. Many of them are subconscious and set off automatic behaviour and reactions. We take much for granted – which is natural because there is no need to reinvent everything – yet it is important to ask ourselves what our core beliefs are if we want to have more input and control about our living experience.

42

This ultimate source of energy is mysterious, yet real and palpable. We can engage with it through what I call BodyMind (the intelligence of our body). When we communicate with BodyMind huge shifts can happen.

We become aware of sensations within us as well as imagining the best for our cells, which comply to the best of our ability, naturally.

E-motions, as I like to refer to them, are energy in motion. They also are not good or bad but a way for the BodyMind to express its needs. Our emotions always change and transform and, if we have a kind, inquisitive willingness to work through the challenging ones we can heal what ails us. Art is a perfect and natural conduit.

ART, through gentle awareness of thoughts during its making, brings what we most need to see to light.

Art making uses both light and energy. As we apply colour on a surface, it affects our inner light and emotions. This enables us to hear our intuition and connect with different parts of ourselves.

Mindful art making doesn’t make our life perfect or make all negativity disappear; that’s not the goal.

However, relaxing art-making sessions distress us, allow us to have insights and improve our way to deal with situations, which in turn make our being more peaceful. e

Harness Plant Energy for Health

I

t has been said that essential oils are the life blood of a plant. The oils give the plant the characteristics which protect it and nurture it. We use these properties to help protect us from disease in the use of antibacterial essential oils, for example. And as sedatives or energizers; for focus or in meditation; for skin repair and sore muscles.

Since energy cannot be created or destroyed, it follows that we can use the energies of essential oils to assist us in many ways.

Many holistic modalities add essential oils to heighten the potency of the healing. Those corresponding to the seven major energy centres in the body, the chakras, respond well to essential oils and Reiki, for example.

Reiki is a form of energy healing, chanelling universal energy through the practitioner in a very healing way for the participant.

Essential oils can also be used to enhance the practice of meditation by heightening the sense of calm and wellbeing. Many yoga studios use eucalyptus essential

Thoughts are energy, energy is matter, and therefore thoughts create our realities. We are all connected as one through Energy (Life Force) and as such affect each other and the planet with all that we think and do. We matter. Our kindness matters. Awareness is vital to influencing our lives.

I’ve tried and test numerous healing modalities and by far I find self-expression through intentional art the most powerful, yet gentle, tool for self-discovery and wholeness.

Art speaks. It is the fastest way to truth. I’ve been humbled and thrilled to see individuals I’ve coached experience positive changes as they make space for art in their lives. I’d be delighted to help you establish creative habits that support your journey.

oil, amongst others, for its clearing, calming properties.

Sage can sometimes be used for the same reasons.

Let’s talk for a moment about energy as it is used in common parlance. “I have no energy”. How can essential oils help with this statement? Well, if the low energy is caused by a lack of sleep, there are oils that help insomnia, like vetiver, ylang ylang, lavender and marjoram. Maybe the issue is stress.

Frankincense and sandalwood can help. What if the lack of energy results in lack of focus? Rosemary or basil can help with memory and concentration.

Bergamot is uplifting. Other citrus oils can help too. Think of how you feel when peeling open a grapefruit. The oils in the skin are released, releasing into the atmosphere fresh, invigorating energy!

They can all be used undiluted in the air or diluted (5 drops essential oil to 15mL carrier oil such as fractionated coconut). Make sure when you are creating your blends that only one drop at a time comes out of the bottle or you may ‘overscent’ with a particular aroma.

Here are some blends to help you with energy!

Energize me blends • 5 drops each red grapefruit, lime, basil and bergamot essential oils • 5 drops lavender, 5 drops lemongrass, 5 drops rosemary, 3 drops patchouli • Use upon wakening or throughout the day whenever you need a lift. They are a great addition to lava bracelets or aromatherapy pendants as well as diffusers.

Calm me blends • 5 drops lavender, 5 drops sweet orange, 3 drops patchouli, 2 drops ylang ylang • 5 drops geranium, 5 drops marjoram, 5 drops frankincense, 2 drops myrrh Use these during meditation or at the end of the day.

They are a delight diluted in the bath or for massage!

Bear in mind that scent is a very personal thing, and there is no sense in scents you don’t like! Come in and experience the aromas firsthand at Planet Botanix.

Restructuring and revitalizing your water with glassware designed according to the Golden Ratio

W

ater revitalization is a process of shifting the energetic memory of water (whether it is purified or not) back to the state in which it is found in nature.

Although it is obvious that water takes on the shape of the container into which it is poured, it is still a relatively unknown concept that the shape of a container has an energetic influence on its contents. Yet this is the same principle as that of the ancient Chinese art and science of Feng Shui that the placement of objects in a physical environment has an effect on the energy (chi) flows within the space.

The Alladin Carafe comes in 1.3 L and 2.3 L sizes

Methods to revitalize and restructure water include crystals, colour or light, focused attention such as through words and symbols, and geometry.

The Golden Ratio is a numeric pattern and geometric principle found throughout the natural world and in great works of architecture, art and music. It can be seen in the nautilus shell, the proportions of the human body and in the great cathedrals of Europe.

Glassware designed according to the Golden Ratio is a tool for restructuring and revitalizing water. It is one of the easiest ways to impart vital life force energy to your drinking water on a daily basis.

Nature’s Design glassware is designed according to the Golden Ratio. The glassware restructures and revitalizes water by virtue of its design. Due to the

44

geometry, after just three minutes of being in the glassware, the water resonates and becomes more structured, as if it were in nature. The flower of life symbol and in some pieces, crystals, serve to imbue the water with additional energy and intention. Nature’s Design glassware comes with the Flower of Life in four colours: 24 carat gold to imbue additional life force energy, rainbow to promote a feeling of happiness, white to be open to new opportunities and platinum to promote a sense of self confidence. Nature’s Design glassware comes with the Flower of Life in four colours: 24 carat gold to imbue additional life force energy, rainbow to promote a feeling of happiness, white to be open to new opportunities and platinum to promote a sense of self confidence.

Designed in Switzerland, each piece of Nature’s Design glassware is a unique creation made using traditional mouth-blowing techniques. The water restructuring process of the glassware has been lab-tested and documented using methods developed by Dr. Masaru Emoto. Nature’s Design glassware is now available across Canada through Fractal Effectswww.fractaleffects.ca and in the Ottawa area at Planet Botanix, Manotick Natural Market and Water Universe.

Ask The Tea Lady

LET’S TALK DETOX

L

et’s talk about DETOX, or the popular notion of the “spring cleanse”.

The body is actually designed to detox itself during every season, and every day, in many ways, so in actuality we really shouldn’t need a “cleanse”. Of course it’s always appropriate to cease any habit or dietary item that is damaging to our organs like sugar, chemical food additives, drugs or alcohol. If we’re eating well all year, drinking our nourishing herbal infusions every day, taking care of ourselves (body, mind and spirit) and keeping our bodies moving, this spring detox becomes less of an urge.

One of the major organs involved in, and focused on, for detox is the LIVER. It’s worthwhile to note that in our climate, winter is long, cold and the tendency is for people to spend a lot more time indoors with a lot less activity. The the body has slowed down and has been breathing less fresh outdoor air. The night is longer and the darkness makes us want to sleep more. Also, we have a tendency to eat more rich, fatty, sweet, comforting foods and we have less access to, and desire, to eat fresh raw greens.

These factors affect the function and efficiency of all our bodily systems.

It’s appropriate to be considering some extra nourishment, especially of the green plant variety! Lets focus on building and nourishing as a way to feel more energy, more life, more vitality.

Nettle One of the most nourishing, safe and beneficial herbs at this time of year, particularly for the sluggish spring liver, is the prolific Nettle Leaf! It’s high in easily absorbable iron, vitamins A, B1, B5, C, D, E and K, potassium, copper, zinc, magnesium, calcium and others. It also contains flavonoids, essential amino acids and proteins. It is a very effective liver tonic and has been a favourite spring edible since medieval times. You can also eat Nettle seeds which are potent energizers, urinary system allies and they offer great adrenal support. It is recommended to take the seeds in the morning, not the evening, because the energizing effect is so profound.

Dandelion Dandelion leaves, flowers and roots are all very beneficial to liver function in the springtime. They’re also extremely good for nourishment, building strength and vitality with potassium, vitamins A, B, C and zinc. The nutritious leaves are an essential “bitter” herb that stimulate the liver and gallbladder, thus improving digestion. We can eat the flowers in fritters, or sprinkle the petals on a tender salad, sauté the leaves with oil and lemon and roast the roots for a healing coffee alternative.

Red Clover Red Clover stimulates bile production and decreases inflammation, aiding liver function. It’s also a valuable source of nutrients including calcium, chromium, magnesium, niacin, phosphorus, potassium, thiamine, and vitamin C. Red Clover have been scientifically proven to support the liver in processing hormones due to it containing a rich source of phytoestrogens. It’s also been proven to improve issues related to men’s sexual health and urinary health; particularly the prostate gland.

I can’t finish an article about detox without bringing up our state of mind and deep breathing. It’s very important to remember that a destructive pattern of thinking, a distressed emotional state, repressed anger and sustained emotional strain can be crucial factors in literally creating a physical state of “toxicity”, or what I prefer to call “imbalance”. We often think about herbs, food and our body but forget that our mind and spirit need to be cleared from time to time as well.

BLESSINGS Channelled by Lisa Virtue

D

ear Ones, we are with you and have been so for all time. You are part of the All, as are We. The Oneness you seek is your true, natural state of being.

The illusion frustrates you, for within there is a knowing, remembering, or perhaps it feels like a longing for what you know is truth.

The illusion of life has served you, and many before you, for advancement. An advancement of understanding within context. Just this morning our lovely channel, Lisa, voiced the idea that the process of recalling and embodying your true selves must be part of the overall plan, serving a purpose, or it would occur at the first thought of the desire for it to be so. In a way this is true. However what remained unclear to Lisa was that the illusion in which you are experiencing is wholly that of your creation. You are amazing Divinity itself. There is nothing off limits to you. You are part of Creator – Source itself.

Fear comes to mind as you consider this. Disgust even at the preposterous thought that you would create such hell as you see it. Yet in a world of imagination, what holds truth? As a request, Lisa asked for assistance in bridging the gap she felt between existing in the illusion and perceiving from her “higher self”. The answer came in one of practicing not only viewing the world and thoughts as part of the illusion, but allowing herself to feel who she is behind that illusion. The practice of this aiding in feeling beyond a mere concept.

You are the actor behind the mask. Know this is so and set your intention to allow yourself to acknowledge the you beyond the finite. Allow your essence the gift of unhindered process. Give the gift of trust to your inner being and allow yourself to feel and explore what it is. As you do, repeatedly, over time, a comfort will be gained. Familiarity. Recognition. Allow this process its time. Let the feeling of inner, true self evolve. For it will expand at your choosing for it to do so. Give it time.

You are the blessing Dear Ones. You are gifting the All-That-Is with the creativity of your expressions. You are joy itself. Perceived limits are part of the “show”. In the Divine truth no limits exist. Play with life and how you are expressing yourselves Dear Ones. Feel into the knowingness of your true being. Allow unfolding to bless creation with your choices, thoughts and feelings.

You are magnificent and appreciated. The knowing of this will reveal much to you.

Blessed Be, The Divine Angel of Awareness Lisa Virtue is a channel and healer, allowing the Divine helpers to work with and through her to aid ascension in each being she meets.

Authentic Tapestry Ian Prattis

I

was humbled by the reviews of “Our World is Burning: My Views on Mindful Engagement.’ Critics reinforced my attempt to create an authentic tapestry about the state of the world and how we could best engage with it. I could only draw from my experience and hope that would be enough for the reader. My approach to life comes through experience, crises, difficulties and joys that may have common ground with many readers. To the best of my ability, I endeavour to follow Gandhi’s principles of ahimsa and the teachings on mindfulness. These are the guidelines and foundations for my peace and environmental activism. I live very simply as a planetary activist. I am a Zen teacher, also a recognized guru in India.

My initial task is to refine my own consciousness to be a vehicle to chart an authentic path. The focus on daily mindfulness from my Zen practice enables me to be still and clear. From this energy the poems and chapters emerge.

My activism is a result of my internal work.

Steadiness, clarity and compassion are within me. I prefer the still-point, uncoloured by the excess of ego and desire for recognition. Such a stillpoint permits me to be free in my own sovereignty, no matter what I am doing.

It also propels me to serve the planet and humanity by creating bridges and pathways of harmony. As an anthropologist, I was fortunate to encounter many story tellers across North America – Dene, Hopi, Ojibwa, Algonquin, Inuit – to mention a few. Their poetic recounting of myths and history had a deep impact upon me. I would say that without poetry, cultures implode.

Over a period of thirty years, four extraordinary medicine people enhanced my process of remembering the power of the poetic voice. Through their mentoring I learned how to reconfigure my understanding of time, place and consciousness. I also chose to listen to the

Tone.ca

feminine voice of Earth Wisdom rather than the multitude of competing voices in my deep unconscious. This shows up in my writing.

My books are epic tales that seamlessly weave together to create inspiration for a wide range of fellow spiritual seekers, environmentalists, Generation X and Y, feminists, students and academics alike. I recognized early on that global citizens are staring into the abyss – yet instead of being eaten up by it all, I say to them: “Awaken Spiritually,” for that transforms everything. We have made our world an unpredictable beast because we fail to work with it intelligently. We have to take back control of ourselves and this is a spiritual matter.

Turning the switch of awakening seems to be a good idea right now. That is the prod and direction of my poems and books. We just need to touch the sacred in ordinary experiences of daily life to find the courage and determination to transform.

My writing delivers a vigorous message about personal transformation in order to become different stewards of the earth and society. In the Sixteen Essays of Our World is Burning, I offer realitybased information that is in high demand in today’s society, which provides the potential for my projects to become fresh, new icons for today’s hungry culture. Hungry, that is, for authentic transformation.

It takes training, practice, intelligence and creative vision to find the drive to create a tangible spirit of cooperation, the willingness to share and be supportive, and learning how to cross the bridges of conflict. This thread of understanding finds a place in every essay in Our World is Burning.

You can order “Our World Is Burning” ($19.95) and receive one FREE autographed copy of New Planet New World; or Redemption; or Trailing Sky Six Feathers; or Failsafe; plus a Meditation CD as a thank you. Indicate which item you would like, though it depends on inventory what can be sent. http://ianprattis.com/OurWorldIsBurning.html
