them to be resolved. More freedom! Although I won’t necessarily be journaling every day, I realise it is another practice to add to my tool kit: a reflective guide back to self. And I feel like this is expansion which will permeate my life moving forward once back to Ottawa. If life is not an adventure, then what is its worth? I am so grateful for this journey, both outwards and inwards. It is tough, at times, but the payoff is tremendous.

etting on the plane in Ottawa, I knew I was starting not just the first leg of my journey to visit my son in Melbourne, but also the first leg of my new life. I was feeling anything but excitement: nervous, fearful, under confident...the way one feels when shifting anything of major consequence, stepping way out of my comfort zone. My thoughts were of all possible things that could go wrong: missed connections, lost luggage, forgetting things on plane (note to self: none of it happened). All these thoughts and worries despite the fact that I have been practising letting go of them for many years. Interesting. I have a month to my self. A month to sit quietly, or explore new surroundings, maybe connect with nature. A month to go inside or find an adventure. A month of freedom. I started journaling a day or two into my arrival in Melbourne, and what I discovered was that this stuff really works. It doesn’t matter what you start with: one thought leads to another, stirring up what the unconscious is trying to make sense of: exposing ideas and feelings you didn’t even realise you had. And in committing them to the written page, you release

Overcome Self-Sabotage and Succeed with Change

2018MOIRA_TONEAd.jpg

ost people have a good idea of how to turn their life around. The solutions are usually fairly obvious and straightforward. Everyone knows how to lose weight, make more money, or keep their house tidier. The challenge is following through. Why don’t you follow through on your decisions? Choose the reasons that resonate with you and see how you can resolve them: 1. You are not making a true decision. Making a true decision means cutting yourself off from any other option. Most of us fail to commit sufficiently to our decisions. We are too half-hearted and give up way too quickly.

3. Your emotions get the best of you. Successful people are either less swayed by their emotions, or they have more control over their emotions. Take your pick. It’s hard to be successful without one or the other. ● Meditation is one way of getting control over your emotions and yourself.

● Understand that a real decision is a commitment you have made to yourself. Show yourself the respect you deserve.

● Focus on making positive decisions regardless of how you are feeling in the moment. The tendency is to make decisions that reduce your anxiety in the short-term. Unfortunately, this leads to long-term failure. Keep your focus on the objective.

2. Are you unclear on your values? Understand your values and you will follow through more often. ● Knowing your values increases the quality of your decisions. It will also keep you going when you hit an obstacle. You’ll be less likely to give up if you’re living according to your values.

Do you follow through on your intentions, or do you find a reason to quit? You probably already know enough to make dramatic changes to your life, so the real challenge is managing yourself and following an effective process. The power to change your life is within you. You only need to adjust your approach. Perseverance is a significant part of positive change. What could you change in your life if you followed through on your decisions? A better question is, “What couldn’t you change?” 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...

Energy Work Written by Rev. Alexis Nicol

After a lot of practice and my own inner work I totally trust that any healing energy being used is from One Source, and for me, this Source is the One of Divine Love/God. This Loving power uses the Energy Worker via a myriad of ways, such as; vibration, intuition, heat, tingling, messages, clairvoyance, etc. As an EW it is up to me to trust, recognize and follow whichever method I’m am being guided to use. It is of upmost importance that the EW gets out of the ego mind and allows an awakened mind to guide the session.

nergy Worker is a mysterious way to describe someone who is working with an incomprehensible and immeasurable source of energy. It flows from the Power of Pure/Divine Love that exists within All life. The Energy is channelled through the practitioner and depending upon how clear a channel they are it will affect the flow and results of the session. The Energy Worker (EW), the client and the Universal Consciousness of Divine Love are connecting together allowing an opportunity for healing during a session. The EW is a channel only and should be present and clear in order to receive direction without ego or judgment. Be concerned if they claim that they are the ones doing the “healing”. If they do, hopefully they are referring to the body they enliven as being the healer. Truth is we are the ones that ultimately make the choice to be healed or not. When I first learned Reiki I used a lot of my own personal energy. I wanted everyone I worked on to be healed. This left me quite tired and sometimes disappointed after a session. It is important to note that we don’t necessarily receive the results we want. God knows where the person needs the healing that is in their highest good at the time.

Yoga Nidra and Sound Healing for Relaxation

Wishingtree Yoga

Join Ivy & Stewart

by Ivy & Stewart

oga Nidrā is a guided relaxation which helps us to deep sleep. It is used for relaxation, which helps to reduce stress and decrease levels of anxiety. Also, allows the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS) to work, which helps to improve digestive function. Śavāsana (Corpse Pose) is the best āsana to experience Yoga Nidrā. With the body like a corpse on the floor without any movement, the mind not working, we experience peace and calm. Our body has its own intelligence to heal. What we need to do is to give the body time to relax, to recover and heal.

It has been 15 years since being initiated as a Sound Healer, by Jonathan Goldman and Company at the Healing Sounds Intensive. The effectiveness of this experience has not gone away, but has slowly, gradually cultivated as the years have passed. When sound healing energy is awakened in oneself, this awareness of sound, this awareness of healing, this awareness of energy can be shared with others. When one has experienced this transformative sound healing energy, this awareness can be expressed to others. With intent and love one illuminates healing energy with sacred sound. The radiant Inner Self aglow.

As long as one carries out the work required to become a clear channel then anyone can have the wonderful, life enhancing and loving experience of working with this most Divine and powerful Energy of Love. Miracles do happen - after all Love is the most powerful, unlimited energy in existence. 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

A Journey Towards Healing

y two favorite healing modalities are techniques that I have used and explored for decades and know from direct experience that they are deeply transformative. Meditation comes to mind first as I have been meditating for over 40 years. I definitely feel the effect of meditation both on the level of my body and mind. The daily practice of meditation is healing, suiting and transformative. We can feel the subtle and steady regeneration of the body during meditation. It is so subtle that it feels like it is on a cellular level. On another level, the mind state shifts, which can perhaps be compared to opening a window and letting fresh air in. It feels calming, healthy and transforming. The other modality is hypnosis, which focuses on specific objectives (such as letting go of the past, fears, motivation). It empowers us from within our deeper mind and enables us to achieve concrete objectives. I can say that results stemming from hypnosis are easier and quicker than meditation. You just need to find a guide certified in hypnosis that you feel comfortable with. This guide will gently nudge you in the direction of your objectives, but essentially all hypnosis is self-hypnosis. It is based on a personal and honest intention, so we need to be ready and to want to fulfill our objectives. Meditation is perhaps a subtler process, and it requires a daily commitment. Many of my clients start with hypnosis, and once their objectives have been reached then they develop a regular meditation practice. I also offer monthly mini-retreats that helps with regularity and the exploration of the principles and philosophy of meditation and various techniques. Today I will mainly explore the practice of meditation.

Meditation takes us on a journey towards our true self, a part of us that is deeper than the conditioned mind. Far from running away from our daily life and its challenges, when our eyes are closed, our introspective mind reaches a ground of clarity, and in doing so, we gradually develop inner strength. It is a process and during this journey, we come to grasp within the distinction between our lower individual mind, and our higher mind. What we call our lower mind, or more concrete mind, is the part of us that is complex, carrying conditioning, fears and hurts so deep that we may not even know that we have. Within this individual mind we can sometimes feel the effects within us of the transgenerational traumas of our ancestors. It has been proven that we carry this trauma in our cells (DNA), and that once recognized it can be healed. Meditation helps us to go beyond this lower mind to connect with our higher mind, essentially with our truth, with the wisdom within. It is a foundation of love and freedom that generates inner stability. During the practice of meditation our mind becomes quieter; this allows our body to reach a deeper level of relaxation and to gradually gain perspective, to go beyond the overactive mind. In doing so we can eliminate a great deal of stress and fatigue. Of course, all meditations will vary, in some we can feel our mind being more active and during other meditation we seem to dive deeper, feel more serene. In all great traditions we are encouraged to simply persevere. A committed beginner is encouraged to meditate for about 20 minutes. With time the meditator will easily meditate over 60 minutes a day, or more. There is no doubt that a longer period of meditation helps us to connect with our

higher self. Behind the flow of our thoughts, behind the conditioning that we carry, we can feel a pristine sense of clarity. This experience of inner clarity will affect us in our daily life and usually result in better health, more satisfying relationships, and greater joy and creativity. Meditation techniques vary, and in my experience, it is good to explore various techniques with an open mind. Regular meditation periods will reduce the stress in our life, and will enable us to be less vulnerable to diseases originating from stress. Meditation also allows the mind and body to function with a greater efficiency. There may be times of impatience, of facing our inner turmoil in a way that is not always easy. Yet, we gradually become able to focus, go through it, and finally be able to connect more fully with the present moment. In reality, our greatest abundance is held in the present moment. To get to know our higher mind, and therefore connect with the depth of the present moment, is to connect with our highest potential and truth.

nergy-work nourishes your body, mind and spirit and can inspire one’s world. Put each energycraft to work and you will notice how positive energy enters your space. You can experience the uplifting changes this work can bring into your life! Everything is some form of energy; all energy flows by intention and is liquid. It can be collected, released and transferred. It can also stick – which is how we create either positive or negative cycles in our lives. Positive energy feels good, natural, balanced. It’s in harmony. It feels light. Negative energy feels, well, not so good; toxic, harsh, heavy, anxious or stuck. Protection energy happens for your benefit and is not the negative moment, as most people seem to think. (If you find yourself forced to stop on your path then - you are being protected.) Destruction energy: The Universe leads you to your highest good and encourages you to leave behind what no longer serves you. If you select to ignore the Universe’s small suggestions, then it will, eventually, scream at you (by destroying where you are now) allowing you to move forward. The Universal-cycle requires patience and trust: When you experiment with the process you’ll learn to trust it. Decades of study and applications of the various tools of wellness have been used by people all over the world in a quest to find purpose, significance, balance, prosperity and peace. In our experience Feng Shui, Reiki and Easternprinciples (among many other sources) all share the common thread based on the Universal Wellness Principles.

Question: How can we trust or have faith in ourselves and our abilities?

SRI CHINMOY: All human beings suffer from trust and lack of trust. One moment your mind is telling you one thing and the next moment your mind says the opposite. The same thing happens with trust. This moment you trust your capacity. Next moment you do not trust it at all. How do we solve this problem? If we pray to God and depend on God for everything, then God gives us confidence. If we rely on God, then whatever we receive from Him will be sufficient for us. At that time, we do not have to worry. The confidence that we get from our reliance on God can never be taken away. If you are a nice person, you will not deceive your mother or father or anyone. God is infinitely nicer than we are so how can He deceive you? If you trust Him, then He will never fail you. Your trust in God, your faith in Him, will give you confidence in yourself. You are bound to trust yourself precisely because there is Someone who loves you infinitely more than you can ever imagine, and that Person is God. If you love Him, He will give you the capacity to trust in your activities. If you write poems, try to feel that these poems are being written by God in and through you. Feel that you are only holding the pen and writing down the words that God wants you to write. When writing poems or when you do something good, inspiring and illumining, you have to feel that it is He who has done it in and through you, according to your capacity of receptivity. If you cannot trust God, then you will never be able to trust yourself. So trust Godâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Presence from now on, if possible all the time. If you cannot do it all the time, then try to trust Him for a few minutes a day. The more your faith in God increases, the stronger will be your faith and trust in yourself.

PATHWORK:

Friendly Curiosity towards Present Reality by Mary Anne Bourque

ave you noticed that when change happens in your life, a period of confusion, sometimes distress and often deep questioning surfaces? You may begin to question who you really are. The changes in your life —children leaving home, change of boss or change in things that were previously interesting and satisfying for you - leave you with an empty feeling. This can lead to insecurity and sometimes significant anxiety. A heaviness sets in, leaving you with a sense that your life is out of control. I know this feeling all too well. When life, my life, seemed to be going in a direction that spiraled with a sense of despair, loss of control and overwhelm, I wanted to just give up. The life I was so used to, with its predictability and a sense of meaning, was no longer there. I felt completely out of balance. I blamed others for this upset in my life. I even tried very hard to get back to the old way. Now when I look back, I see that I would repeatedly land back in the same place— with more hopelessness each time. Oddly, when I stopped and asked “What is REALLY going on? Can I be with what IS?” I began to feel a difference in myself.

This may sound strange, but engaging with these empty, confusing feelings is the first step to opening into a new way of BEING in life. The moment you inwardly and fully allow your circumstance to be what it is, you are actually in a movement towards being — being your true self. You begin a path of self-finding, self-honesty, self-discovery. It all begins with an attitude of curiosity about what’s really going on right NOW. Join me, at the next Pathwork Open Lecture, in an exploration of “Being with what IS “, with the intention of living your real life. We will reflect on the guidance provided in Pathwork Lecture 105: Humanity’s Relationship to God in Various Stages of Development. “If you are unwilling to live through and be in your present confusions, errors and pains, facing and understanding them, you cannot ever be in God. Or to put it in other words, you cannot be in a state of happiness, peace, creativity without strife if you do not face the temporary, often unpleasant reality.” L105 This is the topic for the next Pathwork Open Lecture, Wednesday, March 20, 7 to 9 pm at Saint Paul University, 233 Main Street.

Grieving our Losses and Humanity’s Fall by Amâeil (Melinda Urban RIHR)

hen we experience a profound loss, we naturally move through a grieving process. If we consciously allow this, it serves as a sacred container for honouring our painful emotions, and eventually reaching acceptance. There’s great freedom in respecting this journey of healing. Even when it upends our lives to create disorientation, stir inner conflict, or question who we thought we were, we find ourselves re-emerging through its higher purpose - a new sense of self that is more aligned with our true Spirit. However, our pain of loss can trigger unhealed wounds from other losses in this lifetime or other dimensional traumas. Our personal grief is threaded together in our microcosmic to macrocosmic relationship with the collective and planetary grief. Our emotions can arise from specific traumatic historical events such as the Atlantian flood, or the genocide of Christ family members. Our most profound loss, recorded in everyone’s cellular memory, is the fall of humanity’s consciousness from the Lyran wars. Grief from our multi-dimensional traumas can intensify our current pain of loss, creating vague and confusing feelings. Therefore, as we awaken, it’s important to discern from where our pain is sourcing. What is the feeling attached to? It’s our responsibility to heal all our wounds, recent and ancient. When old emotions and their memories surface it’s so that we may integrate these aspects of our consciousness into the wholeness of our Divine Self and expand our Light. Grieving can be a gift for it’s an invitation to courageously open our hearts in trust to the God Within. It’s always a choice for freedom.

This article is a very brief excerpt from a detailed article discussing humanity’s fallen consciousness and offering many helpful suggestions and tools for managing your grief. Read it on my blog at www.AwakeningtheTruthWithin. com. If you need help to release any trauma or emotional pain, I can meet you in your personal need with compassionate support. 18 yrs. experience: intuitive energy education, counselling, healing & multi-dimensional ascension clearing.

Divine Direction Is It Energy Medicine?

eing an Elder is an interesting experience. One can look at one’s Life and see the effects of the actions taken. We can see the results we brought about through our decision-making over time in all aspects of our journey so far. We can review our Life decisions and decide anew looking at what needs correcting, what needs forgiving and what needs to happen next. A true Elder is one who has lived his or her life on purpose, learning lessons and making a point to teach the wisdom gleaned from having been polished by the waves of Life and Light. If I look back on my service to Life, I can honestly say that Great Spirit has truly blessed me with the gifts of discernment and of Spirit Guardian. As such, those who have crossed my Path were predominantly those who were, most often unknowingly, looking for Divine Direction of some kind. They needed to understand some point of Cosmic Law that would release them to chart their own course more wisely. I am most grateful to those who trusted their Hearts and were courageous enough to follow it, in order to receive a teaching they needed to hear, that in turn helped them to move forward spiritually. True Spiritual growth cannot happen until the individual recognizes that, without Great Spirit breathing its wondrous breath through the Soul, the body is inanimate. Thus, for the individual who wants to grow spiritually, a course of study in the language of the Soul and its Wisdom becomes important. I am profoundly grateful to Great Spirit for having led me down a path that has included books, teachers, and synchronicity that would teach me of wisdom, energy healing and spiritual teachings.

My services help you discover your own Divine Direction because not only do you learn the ways of the Soul and of the Shadow but also learn how to manage both within yourself. This is what is called Spirit/Soul Energy Medicine, which brings a form of healing to your subtle energy field. It can also redirect your attitude towards an energetic block. If you feel stuck, you may be in need of learning how to apply a teaching or two. Mine is a service of ministering unto your Soul, leading it back to the forefront and allowing the Love and Light that you are to resurface with ease. If you are seeking spiritual growth outside of religion and spiritual healing through shamanic means (Indigenous healing), please reach out. As an Elder, I most likely will be able to shed some Light and Love on your Path. I gladly share the teachings you need to hear and the healing you need to receive.

Happy 5th Birthday, Holy Fire Reiki Welcome, Holy Fire III

oly Fire Reiki has been growing fast since its birth five years ago. From Holy Fire in 2014 to Holy Fire II in 2015, we now have its latest manifestation – Holy Fire III – in 2018. Reiki is an ancient healing modality, but we are aware of its evolution only since Mikao Usui brought Usui Reiki to Japan and Hawayo Takata brought it to North America. In the past 100 years we have seen many changes in Reiki: among them we’ve had symbols added, hand placements delineated, the balancing of chakras now an integral part of a healing treatment, and the introduction of Karuna Reiki. These changes show us that Reiki is a growing, evolving healing modality. Holy Fire Reiki comes to us at a time of great transformation. Our vibration is increasing and becoming more refined. Time seems to move faster as we become more in tune with the energetic world of quantum physics, where healing can happen in an instant. Understanding who we are has moved from the psychological realm to the energetic where we can heal on many levels (physically, emotionally, meantally and spiritually), sometimes all at once. We live in this glorious age of energy healing and as our consciousness rises, we are able to heal ever more deeply and quickly. Enter Holy Fire Reiki five years ago. It is through William Lee Rand of The International Center for Reiki Training that Holy Fire presented itself. You can read about him and about Holy Fire at reiki.org. I was fortunate in 2015 to do my Holy Fire Master training with Rand in Glastonbury and my Holy Fire II Karuna Reiki® Master training with him in Michigan. I have done my upgrade to Holy Fire III, and will be doing the full Master’s course in Jerusalem at the end of April. I haven’t really had a choice about these courses: they appear, somehow the money shows up, and I go. As a teacher, I am happy to bring my students the latest developments in this exciting and beautiful evolution of Reiki that is happening for us now. In my opinion the most profound shift from preHoly Fire to Holy Fire Reiki is that it has moved from the level of Soul to the level of Spirit. Many people use these terms, Soul and Spirit, interchangeably. Holy Fire sees the Soul as the sum total of all our experiences and our interpretations of those experiences, of our emotions and thoughts, from past lives and this life. It is a place of Divine Grace and ego/shadow parts: it changes as we change. Spirit, unlike Soul, is our direct, undiluted communication with what Holy Fire terms the Third Heaven, the place of Spirit, of Love, of Divine Beings who are beyond ego and who exist only to help us to grow and heal. As our Spirit is more and more in contact with the

Divine, it teaches and heals the Soul. Holy Fire works at the level of Spirit, bringing us to higher and higher levels of consciousness. In the Holy Fire Reiki class, one of the results of this direct access to the Divine is that “the teacher gets out of the way.” In earlier Reiki, the Reiki was activated in students by means of Attunements: teachers would place their hands on the students and would move around them; that is, teachers with their energy, thoughts, and ego would be in the students’ energetic space. In Holy Fire, rather than Attunements we have Placements: teachers are seated away from students and the Holy Fire energy comes directly to the students. In like manner, guided meditations have been replaced with Experiences, again where the energy acts on students individually, giving them whatever they specifically need. As early as 2015, Rand sensed that the Third Heaven was much larger than he or anyone was able to comprehend. Enter Holy Fire III in 2018, and we have been given access to the Fourth through Twelfth Heavens, a path that offers higher and higher levels of vibration that lead us to knowing and living Unity Consciousness. There is much to be said about Holy Fire III. What stands out for me and what I find so thrilling is that it takes us on the journey of healing our ego as it guides us to recover our Authentic Self. In Holy Fire, the ego is not something that we need to overcome or set aside in order to evolve spiritually; it is an integral part of ourselves. We learn that it has a Divine Nature and that is has a part to play in healing ourselves and the planet. It roots us in the here and now so that we can embody and manifest Divine consciousness. Our Authentic Self existed at the time of our birth when we were in direct connection with the Divine. Having to adapt to the expectations and beliefs surrounding us as we grow up means having to repress many of our authentic emotions and qualities. They lie dormant until Holy Fire III energy uncovers them and they are newly revealed to us. We come to know ourselves again as the Divine beings that we are and always were. Truly, we attain Heaven on Earth, and thus bring Heaven to Earth. As Rand says, often people struggle to know their path, to achieve their purpose, but that’s not the way of Holy Fire III. Its energy opens the way, clearing away obstacles and difficulties. Our life becomes easy and enjoyable. If you are interested in exploring Holy Fire III Reiki in a treatment, in a class, or in an upgrade, please contact me. Martha St. Pierre is a former secondary-school teacher who retired early in order to practise and teach Reiki.

Poetry at Pressed

Ian Prattis ressed is a small, all ages venue and restaurant. It formally functions as a gourmet sandwich bar, but also serves as a vital community space in downtown Ottawa. It promotes bands and books - all genres of art performance. That includes poetry and book launches at Pressed, 750 Gladstone Ave, Ottawa, ON K1R 6X5. On Sunday, March 31 from 4pm – 6pm I will be there with my book Painting with Words, Poetry of a New Era. Hope to see you. Here are some brilliant snippets from Jana Begovic’s Foreword of the book. “Part Two of this anthology puts on full display Prattis’ passion for nature voiced through his gift of painting pictures with words. He infuses our senses with the colourful images of nature’s cycles and its “undeterred rhythm” of change alternating from decay to renewal, from the melancholy of loss to the joy of a new beginning. His poem “Weaving in the Forest” paints a splendorous image of a lake, awakening the senses to the striking beauty of the depicted scene. Prattis’ verses devoted to nature portray her as a living and breathing organism worthy of our utmost reverence and respect.” “The volume ends with the thematic focus on the Ancient Wisdom humans can access through their communing with nature. Travelling through the wilderness, Prattis becomes like Thoreau in Walden, pulsating with the rhythm of the river, the spirit of nature and that of its ancient inhabitants.” “The ancient wisdom is like the tabernacle of our collective memory, and Prattis, attuned to nature, harvests these ancient energies and weaves them into his own history, which he carries forth into the future.”

“Reading Ian Prattis’ literary tour de force reminded me of E.B. White’s quote in which he compared writing to both a mask and unveiling. The profound truth of that quote brought greater clarity to a seemingly complex and intriguing man who dances between the roles author, shaman, environmentalist, a wolf whisperer and a human vessel through which ancient wisdom pours forth.” To avoid shipping costs, Ottawa friends can get a signed copy directly from me –your purchase enables you to take home a prior book or Meditation CD home for FREE, as a special thank you.

What Is The Breakthrough Experience?

“I Can Make YouStop Stop Smoking in One Hour”Hour” “I Can Make You Smoking in One If you’re having trouble kicking the Evil Habit Dr. Luke Michael Howard can transform even the most ardent smoker into a healthy non-smoker IN JUST ONE HOUR.

Dr. Luke Michael Howard, PhD

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. 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 been featured in all forms of media such as Tone Magazine, CTV Morning Live, and CBC Radio. 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 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.

March 2019

“I walked out a nonsmoker!” Caroline had been a smoker for the majority of her lifenearly 30 YEARS! She had tried every type of stop-smoking aid possible, tried using ‘will power’ to quit cold turkey but to no avail-that is until she met Dr. Luke. She recently sent him this follow up email: “I promise I will totally do a video testimonial for you in the future though, as the hypnosis TOTALLY worked...not only have I not smoked...I have not even WANTED to!!! It really is amazing” Check out more testimonial videos on: www.lukenosis.com and you can contact Dr. Luke at LUKEnosis to arrange an appointment at 613-8785874.

ello. Luke Michael Howard, clinical hypnotist and owner of Lukenosis Hypnosis here with a very special video, launching The Breakthrough Session. What is a breakthrough session Luke, and how does that differ from working with you one on one? Well, for many, many years now, I’ve been following a system of doing essentially different packages, different programs with clients, and they could range from anywhere from one to about three sessions. Now when you think modern-day psychotherapy or counseling, there is no result that is guaranteed in it and it’s an indefinite thing that you’ll be seeing your therapist or counselor three times a week for four years. Sigmund Freud even said that and it can’t guarantee your result. The interesting thing about psychotherapy is, no one ever goes to their psychotherapist, their counselor, their cognitive behavioral therapist and say, “How many sessions did it take?” Try it, because there is no answer to that. It’s an indefinite thing that’s ongoing. Whereas hypnosis, the system I’ve been using for a long time, typically it’s one to three sessions to fix almost any problem, which is really, really good and

worked for many, many people. However, I noticed that sometimes it could be slightly flawed, and for someone who has ADD and gets very distracted and likes to do things very, very fast, that sometimes took a little bit more time. Now I still offer that system for some people who’d prefer it, but now I offer something called a breakthrough session. And really if we go back to the old model of therapy or hypnosis, and I don’t like to think of what I do as being therapy, because it’s not. Therapy means that you’re broken, you’re messed up. I like to think I’m an educator that’s helping to educate you to run your own mind and brain better. So if you figure in the old days someone would come in with one problem. That might be they’re a smoker, they want to quit. They’re overweight, they have obesity, they want to drop 50 pounds. They have chronic back pain, they want to let go of it. Or they have tremendous anxiety that they want to be anxiety free. So there’s an A position they come in, a problem, and there’s a B solution that they want to leave at. So it’s kind of like this. This is kind of like your mind when it’s okay, it’s doing its normal thing, the amygdala, front cortex of your brain is doing its natural thing. And people come in to me and it’s been activated. There is a problem situation going in and what we do essentially

in hypnosis and the change work that I do is remove the problem from inside and it goes back to being its old way. That’s okay if you’ve got a single problem. However, what happens if you’ve got five problems? You’re overweight, you smoke, you’ve got anxiety, you got pain in the back, you don’t know what to do Everyone deserves a calm, peaceful, side-effect free life. with your career. You haven’t got the ideal relationship, you don’t know what to do in life or what’s holding you back. You’ve got more than one problem. It’s probably Grace Joubarne, Clinical Hypnotherapist gonna take more than one hour. So will help you heal yourself naturally of: it kind of becomes a bit like this. Someone comes in and this is their problem.

Free: Power of Presence Seminar by Dr. Doug Henderson Ph.D.

Date: Saturday May 4 2019

Location: The ‘Amphitheatre’ St. Paul’s University 223 Main St. Ottawa Registration: 8:45-9:30 am Duration: 9:30-4:30 am Parking: paid parking lot or street parking $10. Parking Vouchers for first 20 to register Seminar Cost: FREE Gift (donations accepted but no expectations). Extensive handouts

My real interest is in energy and raising levels of consciousness and helping those who have willingness and desire to do the same. When you do, life becomes smoother and dis-ease tends to drop away. Following my own health issues 15 years ago (2004) with 4 systemic cancers, I refused medical treatment and used a Quantum Technology to return to physical, emotional and mental well being; but more is required: Spiritual well being. Although I earned Ph.D.’s in Humanities and Theology neither of these are indicators of what is required to heal. Healing is about learning how to go within to make correction. It’s actually a by-product of this process and of raising your level of awareness & consciousness. But how do we do that? This is what I want to gift you. No one can fix us, the individual must do it: This is why we have Free Will Choice.

In addition, many fear losing their individuality or fear the unknown. At no point does anyone lose their individuality/personality; these are the fears that must be transcended. We also need to learn to disentangle our-self from our conditioning. Currently, the world is becoming more and more insane, so if we wish to cope in the future personal change must occur. I have learned many things along my path that may prove useful to help you to shorten the learning curve. I would like to share this with you, so your path can become smoother. You have nothing to lose and everything to gain! Hope to see you there. Love and Light. Doug .

Please send out to all those that you feel may benefit RSVP email to drdoug88@gmail.com

PS. This will go way beyond, “The Law of Attraction.” PPS: The original cost of this seminar was to be $200,00/person and despite the interest, I had a change of heart/mind as a result of reading some material that I will share with you

Women, Food & Spirit:

A Full Day Masterclass on Intuitive Eating, Forgiveness & Unleashing The Divine Feminine Presented by Ann Jarvis – Intuitive Energy Healer, Holistic Nutritionist & Metaphysical Teacher This full day workshop takes us deeply into women’s complex relationship with food, themselves and their Divine Feminine. For any woman who has ever struggled with food, shame or body issues, this is an opportunity to understand and uncover what might be at the heart of this complex relationship. The workshop will cover some of the following topics: • Why the diet industry is like a hamster wheel that never lets you off • How looking to exterior sources for ‘dieting advice’ deepens our sense of powerlessness • How to take back your power • Intuitive eating • What shame has to do with disordered or uncontrolled eating • The feminine deficiency syndrome • Forgiveness • The ultimate relationship The day will consist of some great, interactive discussions and teachings. And despite the heaviness of this topic, Ann likes to make things as fun as possible. You will be taken through a guided meditation that will help you to release old, outdated trauma. Together, we’ll weave a new feminine-based web that is supportive, nourishing, empowering and joyful.

Dragons all Around

By Daniel Roy CD, BA, MA, CFP, EPC, CIM, FCSI, CIWM, CRC e can all remember fairy tales in which the plot line has the Prince Charming slaying multiple dragons in order to win the hand of the beautiful Princess in marriage. We have had this remarkable fascination with these creatures, which has led us to attaching a lot of symbolism to them. Dragons are all around us. They are in our families, our circle of friends, our co-workers. They show up in our lives and their mission is to push our buttons. We get upset by their behaviour and we feel compelled to actively engage with them because we must defend our position. After all, we are right, and we must fight for our honour as would any self-respecting chivalrous knight. One of the hardest lessons to learn is that we do not need to engage with these people in the way that they want us to. We can stand our ground and politely refuse to “fight”. Did the Prince have to fight the dragon? Yes, because if he did not it would have made the storyline boring. Your life is not a fairy tale therefore you have the choice to engage or not. Saying no and standing your ground is a sign that you are stepping into your power. This is not an easy

Meditation and a Long View of Time

By Jessie Carson helpful way to approach a meditation practice is to begin with a long-term view of time. This isn’t easy though. If we have a meditation practice or if we’re considering starting, we are probably looking for an end to some kind of discomfort or suffering in our life right now. But, to do anything skillfully takes practice, dedication and motivation. The Yoga Sutras of Patanjali, which is basically meditation instruction, recognizes this need for a longer view of time. Sutra I:14 states Sa tu dīrghakāla nairantarya satkāra āsevitaḥ dṛḍhabhūmiḥ ~ Perfection in practice comes when one continues to practice with sincerity and respect for a long period of time without any interruption. What is a long period of time? A lifetime? Or, as Buddha said, we might have to practice meditation for an incalculable number of eons before we reach enlightenment. If our spiritual goal is to attain any kind of freedom or inner peace, let’s give our self some time. For me, this idea of practicing for lifetimes lightened the load of practice. My early mornings of quiet sitting became a little less result-orientated and more touched with wonder and a sense of humility. It might be easy to fall into the trap of thinking, well, if this is such a tiny part of time, why does this matter anyway? We’re welcome to think that way, but even if it’s true, why would we want to? The above sutra also asks us to contemplate how we can have a long-term practice and remain sincere and respectful. How might we maintain this in our practice? Sincerity and respect are inner qualities that go beyond

the physical act of showing up with the body (although this is a monumental start!). Only we can answer this for ourselves. If we meditate with this long view in mind, we will likely find that a regular practice does benefit our life right now. Most of these ways are immeasurable, if we use the methods we often use to measure success, like money, clocks and other material human-made instruments. And, it will likely be the immeasurable ways in which we will eventually gauge a well-lived and meaningful life.

Paying Attention in Troubled Times

et’s face it .. these are stressful times. And the more stress people experience, the less resourced they become, especially when faced with difficult challenges. I recently wrote a piece that received a lot of online engagement: The anxieties that plague us are, for the most part, a sane response to insane situations and circumstances. But we rarely treat them as such. Instead we look for fixes to overcome the sense of powerlessness, despair, or anxiety informing our emotional and mental states. We rush out to buy self-help books, we align our chakras, sign up for programs to still the mind or ‘transform’ ourselves, take meds, convince ourselves that we’re distraught because we must be ‘coming from fear’. The assumption is that people who ‘come from love’ aren’t ever agitated .. or angry .. or that they never judge. The assumption is that ‘coming from love’ is commensurate with wisdom. Well friends, to learn discernment is vital to life itself .. it is to have your wits about you. It’s the ability to look head on at what is in front of us and recognize what serves life and what doesn’t. The challenge of our time is to pay attention, to learn how to employ one’s mind, to deprogram it from the regime colluding indoctrination it has been subjected to, and to become discerning in a manner that will in fact be of service to life, the earth and those yet to be born. So if you’re feeling sad, agitated, angry, confused .. consider that you’re not actually messed up and in need of a personal tune-up but rather you’re in need of a sane culture. Many people commented on how powerfully these words spoke to them. You might call it good news to find out that your angst doesn’t actually come from you but rather from the world around you, specifically the constructed environments that are more hostile than kind towards our deeper humanity. The bad news is we’re quite limited when it comes to having significant impact on those external influences. You may not agree with the level of technology in our lives for instance but it’s difficult to completely cut oneself off from it let alone stop it. And so as the troubles brew in our midst, there’s really no place to go to get away from it all. The meditation pillow or 10 day trip to somewhere warm is short lived. We still have to live with each other and contend with the ever-growing challenges of living in a fast paced world that shows no signs of slowing down. The one very valuable gift we can give to ourselves and each other is our way of speaking and listening. It’s more important than ever to consider what comes out

of our mouths and how it contributes or interferes with our ability to serve life and care for each other. Here then is where the personal tune-up is crucial especially when we recognize that our suffering and challenges are more collective and cultural than they are personal even as they register so personally. Cultural repair must

be emphasized in our personal work. And it must show up in how we speak about what plagues us. The point of convergence between our inner and outer worlds is our speech and action. What we say and do is no small thing. This is a time to bring increased awareness to our speech and actions and to grant them the proper respectful and disciplined approach they deserve. Rachelle Lamb’s lifelong interest in human development, relationship dynamics and the roles that culture and ecology play in people’s lives, along with her ability to skillfully pave the way for transformational dialogue between people consistently produces powerful learning experiences for individuals and audiences.

Eat well, move more, stress less and love more!

f you wish to experience ongoing Ageless-ness throughout your life you need to start now...RIGHT NOW! To achieve your optimal level of life experience as you get older requires lifestyle transformation that will touch every aspect of your life so you are not merely existing but rather thriving beyond belief. Lifestyle transformation, which can begin for everyone no matter what ‘age’ you are, can achieve: • Weight-loss that endures; • a healthy micro-biome--a gut that functions as it is intended to; • elimination of chronic inflammation caused by the Standard American Diet (SAD); • reduction of (and possibly the healing of) chronic diseases caused by chronic inflammation; • noticeable increase of energy (healthy functioning of mitochondria); • improved brain function; • ability to leverage the amazing neuro-plasticity of the brain; • a resilient body and a resourceful mind; • relief from cravings especially for sugar and grain carbs; • and other more subtle improvements in whole body functioning. This lifestyle transformation requires a four-fold adaptation of how you are currently living your life and is based on: Food Fitness Flow Fun If you think of these four elements as a stack, Food is the foundation. Fitness, Flow and Fun are equally enabled and supported by a healthy body that is fueled by the life- enhancing nutrition and nourishment you provide it. And each is crucial to the level of age-lessness you can achieve. It’s not that one of these elements is more important than the others. Rather that, if you commit to Fitness, Flow and Fun without first undertaking nutritional transformation (eliminating the Standard American Diet or SAD) you will not achieve much of the outcomes mentioned above. This is because whole, natural food is the foundation fuel that feeds all aspects of the incomparably complex system of systems that is your human body. This is what dictates whether you are fully healthy and full of energy or not. So, what is SAD actually? SAD which evolved in the 1960’s refers to the current diet preferred by most North Americans and involves purchasing the bulk of foodstuffs from the middle aisles of your supermarket.

Most of these so-called foods are highly processed nonreal foods that have few if any ingredients that nurture your body and many ingredients that your body does not recognize as nutrients. Nutrients are the ‘stuff’ in healthy food that your body can break down into the essential vitamins and minerals your complex system demands for high performance functioning. To shift from SAD to a much more healthful lifestyle does require some serious research and some initially challenging behaviour change in habits. The first of these which for most of us is the hardest is giving up sugar; the second is figuring out your relationship with gluten. It took me a long time to give up sugar...that was a factor of my obsession with sweets and the demands of my school aged children who took lunches to school. However when I finally got off sugar, I felt much better especially emotionally and I found helpful alternatives which made my kids happy too. Gluten freedom came much later for me. I was older, children free, and experiencing weight gain and gut/ stomach problems. Over several months I accumulated a great deal of information and as a result of this information I gave up all gluten fairly quickly. Yes, that was very hard but worth it because I experienced some significant relief from symptoms. However I wanted MORE! That led to a number of years of intense research and an incredible lifestyle change so that I can now, at the age of 74, live the life I want full of energy, passion, contentment (much of the time!) and profound fulfillment. I also believe this ‘third stage of life’ is my time to flourish, grow, share and contribute...and I have the will, desire and stamina to do so. I can say with total honesty: I have never felt as good in this body as I do now and it is breathtaking to live this way! You too can have this experience of life if you wish it... your journey will involve similar explorations as mine but follow a different path and process because you and your body/mind/spirit are totally different from me and mine. I have designed a Lifestyle Transformation Fun-Shop where I share all my research, my experiences, the food lifestyle options I believe to be most helpful. The fun-shop will also provide each of you with a framework for creating a lifestyle transformation that is unique to you and achieves the health, vigour and energy that you desire. In the fun-shop you will have an opportunity to share your hopes, dreams and desires as well as concerns, worries, and fears. As well, you will delve into Food, Fitness, Flow and Fun from your own perspective and get new ideas from others. This will help you initiate and guide your process of transformation as well as support you through the ups and downs that come naturally with change.

DI A MON D A PPROACH ® OT TAWA

STOP!

I N T H E N A M E O F L OV E A D i a mond A pproa c h S em i n a r How To D is en g a g e From T he I n ner Cr it ic One of the most personally devastating mental activities is that of attacking one’s self. Personal growth can be greatly hindered by the negative judgments of the attacking inner voice. This Inner Critic or Super Ego is largely unconscious and is the inner coercive agency that stands against the expansion of awareness and inner development. This sophisticated and tenacious layer of the personality is what we first encounter and continue to encounter on our inner journey. Its main job is to keep the status quo, to prevent us from moving beyond our ordinary sense of ourselves toward who and what we truly are. The Super Ego or Inner Critic creates great pain and suffering as it limits our experience, squashes our dreams, and keeps us in check. In this seminar we will begin and continue the process of identifying, understanding, and disengaging from the Super Ego. Using the teachings and methodology of the Diamond Approach, we will disengage from this layer of our personality which keeps us trapped in our usual sense of self. DATES:
