Bringing Grief out of the Shadows…

The Heart as a Safe Harbour

By Vonne Solís

Grief brings with it many broken hearts. It is generally understood in our culture as a reaction to loss from death that lasts for a period of time and is something from which people recover. Healing a broken heart is not as simple as mending a broken bone. It can take years if not a lifetime for some people to feel hopeful and even glimpse the possibility of a bright and meaningful future after losing a loved one, especially a child.

Pain blocks us from connecting to our true power. The first principle of Divine Healing teaches that we must honor and take responsibility for all of our painful experiences by connecting to the sacredness of our being, located in the heart center. The heart is the gateway to Spirit. Empowerment is all about understanding the responsibility we have to accept life as it has become (not only as it once was), and follow our heart in all things so that we can learn to function in a way that brings us supreme happiness, and all of our desires to enjoy life, not suffer through it.

Suffering is a common theme that many people have chosen to give themselves the opportunity to understand pain and healing

differently. Pain does not have to exist.

Transformation comes to us as we are ready to bravely step onto another path, replacing old dreams with new ones; recognizing those opportunities we must act on that will help us build a bright and prosperous future.

It takes courage to journey through pain to discover the bigger role for our life, where we want to make a difference. Connecting to our sacred center gives us a deep appreciation for the suffering of others. Compassion for someone else’s pain comes from understanding suffering, but no longer having the desire to stay in that place ourselves. In this way, the heart never leads us astray. As we heal, the heart provides us a safe harbour, where we can find all of the successes we dream about the more willing we become to confront and transform all pain.

While the journey may be difficult, it will always lead us to those discoveries that teach us to accept responsibility for our experiences that instills within us the desire to create more for our life, both on a spiritual and physical level.

We start the process of transformation by accepting all of our painful experiences, not only some of them, and let them be “okay”. For example, if you have experienced tragic loss, let this be okay. If you have suffered victimization, let it be okay. Sit with the feeling of letting your experiences be okay for a few moments, remembering you are a powerful, sacred being and all of your experiences count. Feel safe, knowing that with the angels by your side you never have to feel alone or afraid through any transformation you desire.

We were meant to enjoy life and express as powerfully enlightened beings. Our awareness of our role as the creator of our experiences makes us accountable for the power we hold within as an enlightened being. Honoring pain as having its rightful place in our life is part of this process and becomes easier as we allow the heart to guide us to gracefully meet head on all that we’ve chosen in this incarnation.

Leave Extra Weight Behind For Good

feeling better with more energy to exercise and enjoy the wonderful potential of life.

If you are a hypnosis sceptic, wondering what the hypnotist “does to you” be assured that the answer is “nothing”. There is no external magic to hypnosis. You are in control, remaining fully conscious during a session.

The hypnotist simply helps you achieve a deep state of relaxation, where you are most receptive to your own inner wisdom.

What may not be as familiar is the way I chose to take control of the problem. I felt so helpless and frustrated, I decided to become a hypnotist. It was right down my alley, since I was already offering services related to Stress Management and Meditation. And maybe hypnosis would do the trick. I’d tried everything else. It couldn’t hurt.

After intensive training, I started to apply the techniques I learned, adapted them, and started to lose weight. In all, I lost thirty pounds! What’s even more exciting is that after two years, I haven’t gained the weight back.

My husband was so pleased with my success and surprised by the ease with which I lost the weight, he asked me to give him hypnosis sessions in order to lose fifteen stubborn pounds. Very soon, he was making better food choices, satisfying himself with smaller portions of nutritious food. And, two months later, he effortlessly reached his goal.

Research supports our anecdotal success. An article entitled Does Hypnosis Work? A Comparison Study reported that amongst various therapies, hypnotherapy had the highest weight loss success rate in the shortest timeframe. Ninetythree per cent of clients began to lose weight after only six sessions.

And, even more importantly, when you use hypnosis as a weight loss tool, you will not regain the weight or the habits associated with weight gain. In fact, the Journal of Clinical Psychology and Counseling (1985) showed that two years after subjects had hypnosis sessions for weight loss, they were able to maintain their weight loss or continue to lose weight.1 Not only have I kept it off and reaped the health benefits of losing unnecessary weight, I can personally attest to

The Dynamic Duo: Trust and Commitment

by Amâeil (Melinda Urban RIHR) Energy Psychotherapist, Theta/DNA Healing Facilitator, Vocal Healing Channel

I

n this timeline that we are all experiencing, trust and commitment make an essential difference. If there is no trust, it’s just a science project to figure out what’s what, and who’s who, and how we make ourselves more significant.

If commitment is lacking then all the energy we invest gets recycled in a wash of repetition where the threshold to expansion lies in wait.

Trust and commitment can be considered symbiotic. Trust can be defined as knowing that all aspects of you, and all your experiences, whether you deem them ‘good’, ‘bad’ or ‘neutral’, have a higher purpose. Commitment is to give over yourself. When you put them together you give all that is you over to the higher purpose of your life.

It seems that you cannot live your life in true alignment with your Spirit unless you have both. Commitment without faith is a giving over that pulls back when the going gets tough; doubt arises about the purpose of your experiences and you. Trust without commitment keeps a door ajar for alliances with the many faces of your ego: self-judgment, procrastination, distraction and apathy, to name a few.

Together trust and commitment catalyze an alchemical reaction that can dissolve ego, leaving only the truth of who you are; a soul with Divine purpose experiencing through form. Note then that faith and commitment are not necessary once you truly know yourself as vaster consciousness; they become mute concepts. You are this!

This alchemical process is different for each person in that we each bring unique gifts, perspectives, experiences and responses in contribution to the wholeness of All That Is, as we find our own path. Ask yourself how you are embodying this transformation. Are you consciously choosing to align your free will with Divine will? Do you trust the higher purpose of your experiences even when they feel uncomfortable, frustrating or uncertain? How much of your truth are you willing to reveal to yourself?

So how does one anchor trust and commitment into this timeline? How do you have faith if your trust seems to have been broken? How do you commit to your inner Spirit if you have felt abandoned by God? The answer, of course, lies within. You can excavate and clear your out-dated, subconscious patterns that keep you bound in ego distortions.

The healing services I offer are excellent for this. Additionally, you can set a daily intention to remember who you are, fully, completely and totally, regardless of what your journey has been. This active participation in your ascension opens you to trust that the truth of you will be revealed through all your experiences, both the uplifting and the challenging. When you are steadfast in this clear intention, you are investing in recognizing yourself as eternal and free in the unified field of God-Source.

hy is it when I was growing up no one taught me how special I was? Was it because they didn’t know I was special or because they didn’t know how special they were and couldn’t teach me what they didn’t know? Or was Abundant Life Coach it because they were afraid I would be too empowered if I thought I was special?

treated me so badly, I either was going to leave him, leave life (die) or learn to love myself that life started to change. I did leave him and committed to learning to love myself.

Thank-you, Loiuse Hay, affirmations really do work.. I did eventually learn to love myself, not because I was the brightest, smartest, prettiest, but because I was here. I learned I was good enough being a work in process and perfect was not achievable or reasonalble. Honestly, it took about four years to learn to love myself, but I did it and, having found my love for myself, I will never lose it or stop celebrating who I am. I delight in the counselling journey to help others learn to celebrate and love themselves.

If I could do it, you can. It merely takes a commitment to the school of you and a willingness to let go of all within you that is not love; all that you have been taught about yourself by people who did not know what love is or how to love themselves. You are magnificent, celebrate yourself.

Sr i Chi nmo y Answers

Question: Why did God create all this misery and unhappiness in the world?

Why didn’t He make man perfect to begin with?

SRI CHINMOY: God could have started His creation with perfection. But, fortunately or unfortunately, that was not His intention. What God wanted was to go through ignorance to Knowledge, through limitation to Plenitude, through death to Immortality. The miseries, troubles, frustrations and despair that we are going through in the physical world are nothing but experiences on our way to the Ultimate Goal. And who, after all, is having these experiences? It is God and God alone. God is a Divine Player. He is playing His divine Game and He knows the ultimate end. The more we play, the more we become conscious of the fact that we do nothing and can do nothing. We are all instruments.

At each moment God is revealing Himself in and through us, in spite of the fact that we see and create a vast gulf between ourselves and God. When God created the world, He gave each individual very limited freedom. Unfortunately, we have been misusing this freedom. He gave to each person limited capacity. But this capacity we have been using for the wrong purpose. We constantly misuse God’s precious Concern and Compassion for us.

God wants us to be perfect and fulfilled, but if we go deep within, we see that we are satisfied with our pleasures, desires, limited consciousness, jealousy, doubt, fear and negative thoughts. Human beings as such do not want real joy.

What they want is pleasure, which is something very different. When we are satisfied with something undivine, how can we blame God? How can we say that He is not giving us the right thing? We have to know and feel that God is doing everything for us.

Look around and see how many people really want God. Most people don’t have five minutes a day to meditate on God. Days will run into weeks and weeks into months, and they have not meditated even for five minutes. God comes last in their lives. When somebody is dying they may cry out, “O God, O God, O God!” But otherwise, how many times a day do people utter the name of God? It is God who has the message of Perfection. In the outer world we see limitations, imperfections, doubt, fear and death. But in the inner world we see Light, Peace, Bliss and Perfection. When we consciously identify ourselves with and live in God’s Consciousness, there is no imperfection. There is all Perfection.

The true Christian message The Law of Grace, was mostly dead and buried by the end of the 6th century. Its replacement, orthodox Christianity, spins a contracted, one lifetime version, of ‘the good news,’ by replacing personal responsibility with institutional forgiveness.

Wheat Be Gone

…modern wheat that is.

C

an you relate to any of the following? Within minutes of eating you get gas, you start burping or have acid reflux. You’re bloated most of the time. Or what’s worse you often get diarrhoea or are constipated. Your skin is dry and itchy, your brain is foggy and you often feel tired. You can’t figure out what’s going on, as you keep gaining weight even though you exercise and believe you eat well.

What you may not know is that much of the food grown today is significantly altered from the food we ate 150 years ago. It’s not just hybridized in the natural way it’s adulterated or altered through genetic manipulation or engineering. What I have discovered is that modern food production and processing along with poor food choices may explain your symptoms.

Here’s what Dr. Davis, author of Wheat Belly says: “Fourteen-chromosome wild grass has been transformed into the forty-two-chromosome, nitratefertilized, top-heavy, ultra-high-yield variety that now enables us to buy bagels by the dozen, pancakes by the stack, and pretzels by the ‘family size’ bag,” Then there is the over concentration in our diet of a limited number of foods. Various forms of soy, wheat, corn and sugar are everywhere. And what’s more these foods are often refined, processed, modified, isolated and fractionated so our bodies have no idea what they’re actually consuming.

To make matters worse, we’ve dumped over 80,000 new chemicals into our environment since the end of WWII. In the end our poor digestive system doesn’t know what to do with all these unnatural foods and food substances that we’ve put in our mouths. So if it can’t properly digest or get rid of these foreign bits of what we call food, it rebels by

creating symptoms hoping to get our attention that something is amiss.

And the toxins it can’t eliminate it encapsulates in fat.

It does this because our bodies can’t adapt quickly enough to all these changes and so it becomes overwhelmed.

Probably the most ubiquitous adulterated food is wheat. Many people are intolerant or sensitive to wheat; for others it’s any food containing gluten with Celiac Disease being the most serious condition.

Grains that contain gluten are wheat, barley, rye, triticale, spelt or kamut.

Despite all the manipulation, why do some people seem immune to problems when they eat wheat?

Dr. Michael Lincoln in his book, “Messages From The Body”, says it’s because for every illness or condition there are mental/emotional causes as well as physical ones.

For example Dr. Lincoln says people who have gluten sensitivity or intolerance may feel “…hapless, helpless, hopeless.

They feel overwhelmed and unable to handle the requirements of life. They have a great deal of sorrow, deep-seated grief, and despair, and they are chronically crying

on the inside.”

For people with Celiac disease Dr. Lincoln says they have “absorption difficulties and problems in separating the wheat from the chaff. They are experiencing excessive guilt, self-doubt and self-image problems. They feel unappreciated and also unsure of their capability and value.”

The good news is that I have not known anyone who hasn’t felt better after eliminating modern wheat from their diet.

So if you have any digestive issues why not go wheat free and see what happens? But making changes to the way we eat can be daunting, so I am here to help!

Whether you are Celiac, gluten sensitive or intolerant or want to experiment with wheat or gluten free eating, my Healthy Eating Program will show you how!

Send me an email: JoyceFriesen@NovalisIntegra.com or call 613-841-3205.

This book traces the history of how and why this happened and what you must do to expand your life view to return to the path of grace, whence you came!

How’s your appetite for life?

What’s eating you?

In other words: How is your digestive system?

by Laurie Fraser

T

hese days I seem to be treating a lot of people for anxiety, depression and/or digestive complaints: food allergies, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, fast or slow elimination, cramps, poor food absorption, stomach upsets, and Crohn’s Disease.

Digestion often comes down to this question: What is it in your life that you haven’t been able to digest? What’s been hard to swallow? Have you willingly eaten what’s on your plate or have you, at times, felt force-fed? This “indigestion” is actually a bunch of emotions that haven’t been processed. Sometimes experiences get sort of stuck, sometimes for years, even lifetimes, and when your energy is unhealthy, the body is bound to follow.

Almost everyone who comes to me for treatment needs excess anxiety released first. This anxiety is sometimes exacerbating physical discomforts. Once the anxiety is removed, the client relaxes physically and emotionally.

I connect with the client’s energy and use muscle-testing (kinesiology) to give me ‘yes’ or ‘no’ answers. I can use this communication to play a version of 20 questions: “Is it in her highest good to eat dairy products?” Yes. “Cow?” No. “Goat?” Yes. “Sheep?” Yes. I also muscle test through lists of options: hundreds of B.O.S. procedures (Bio-computer Operating System, Harvey Steel). So, for example, food sensitivities might lead to a B.O.S. procedure that identifies an emotional block in an organ or chakra. I remove that block and the energy is able to flow better. The body follows the energy and it is always trying to get back to harmony and health.

Once that emotional block is removed, the muscle-testing might lead to a structural correction next or perhaps a different healing method altogether. I also do façade healing, holographic healing, Reconnective Healing, Comprehensive Healing and various hands-on techniques.

Let’s look at some real cases: 1. -- An older woman was “forsaken” at age 37. The block was in her second chakra. I opened the chakra and removed what I saw as red vapours and heavy black stones. Elimination improved.

2. -- A middle-aged man received a façade healing from Archangel Michael for “loneliness”. His wife died several years ago but he hasn’t been able to move past it. He is still getting messages about this from an angry bowel,

Certified B.O.S. practitioner Holographic healing Facade healing Comprehensive healing but the symptoms have eased. (Clients consistently notice an improvement after the first session, but it can take many sessions to heal completely. Sometimes a symptom disappears after a single session.)

3. -- Muscle-testing told me that a client was “frustrated” at age 43. He reported that this had been an intolerable work situation many years ago. The emotional block was in the throat chakra-- probably things left unsaid. I opened it to take out 4 frogs. (I see them clairvoyantly.)

I put “space” into the chakra.

4. -- Poor food absorption led to a rib adjustment-- one side was lower than the other and it was affecting some organs.

I believe the reason BOS works so well is that the client’s energy leads the way and chooses the most appropriate healing path. I make no decisions on my own; I’m guided the whole way. A person can only take so many changes to their energy; I’m told to stop when they’ve had enough. Clients process the changes for several hours afterwards. That’s why some sessions are shorter than others, but it’s usually about an hour.

I give thanks to my guides and teachers and to Archangel Michael.

Layers of Onions

By Kerry Palframan RN

I

remember waking up on the planet as a newborn with my mother changing my diaper as I lay helplessly on the floor. I opened my eyes and my first thought was “I’m back”.

Immediately followed by a rush of resentment and anger as I realized I could not walk or talk and had no autonomy – mortified that someone was changing my diaper. I was fuming mad and remember rolling my eyes up in my head with shear disgust and rage.

The anger and resentment I brought into this life with me has been an ongoing theme in my life.

You have probably heard the analogy that our lives and quest for personal development is akin to the peeling of an onion one layer at a time. I recently had the grand opportunity to experience yet another layer of this proverbial onion and had a full out temper tantrum with God. All my anger and resentment – which I thought I’d worked through – hit me out of the blue recently.

I’ve had lots of tantrums over the years. I expected to be hit by a bolt of lightning the first time I shook my fist towards the heavens and verbally said all of George Carlin’s “Seven Bad Words You Can Never Say on TV” to God. I was surprised My God was able to hold loving space for me.

Learning to hold loving space for myself was the next step on my eye opening healing journey.

Over the years I’ve kept peeling the onion on my anger and resentment – getting better each time I experience the immensity of these strong emotions; seeing it as an opportunity.

But the most recent bout of anger and resentment was a tidal wave of such proportion, that I was capsized immediately. Although the wise knowing aspect of me knew that “This too shall pass” and that his was just another opportunity to work on this issue, my little 7 year old part did not think so.

She wanted to have a full on pity-party day, full of crying, screaming, yelling with swings of anger, rage, resentment, hopelessness, helplessness and demanding that God change her life for the better or she’d darn well was going to give up and leave this horrid planet.

After so many years of helping others work through their emotional crisis’s I was amazed that this emotional child of mine went straight back to my early childhood years and reacted in the same way. I really thought I could love her and support her through anything. I thought this part of me had grown up and had become my humble willing partner inside.

But suddenly she was kicking and screaming and hating me again.

How did I get out of this pit of despair that I had not seen this badly for at least 12 years?

My anger and resentment needed to express and to “be”.

So I allowed it. I gave myself permission to have a cranky pants day and cried myself to sleep holding a teddy bear.

Remember, onions make you cry when peeled.

May 2012

I had disturbing dreams and knew I had to give myself a big attitude adjustment. I sat down to do prayer and ceremony.

Whereas the day before I was bitter and could not think of one single thing I was grateful for, I humbly spoke out loud to My Creator about being in a terrible dark place and asked to open myself to receive the Light despite how difficult this was for me to ask with sincerity.

I asked to have these burdens removed and to restore my system with peace, harmony, tranquility and a whole list of preferred vibrations. I asked to be put on the path to meet those that could give me the support I needed and to please fill me with the Light of Creator and the path to all the things I am dreaming of. I humbly spoke out my list of desires. Then I listed all the things I was grateful for in my life. It was a very long list and I cried my way through this ceremony as once again I realized the effects and consequences of my long held anger and resentments.

I felt relieved and light after I did this simple ceremony. As soon as I finished, the phone rang and a remarkable stranger on the phone offered me information that was exactly what I had just been asking for! I wiped the blackboard clean, forgave myself for my anger and resentment and just peeled off another layer of my healing onion.

Kerry will be in Ottawa in May and June. To see her schedule of workshops, events and venues visit www.indigodreamer.com under Workshops link.

What are the Bars? They are a series of 32 points on the head that, when gently touched, activate major clearing of limitations you haven’t been able to extract yourself from any other way.

Each point is associated with a particular issue that we use to create our own personal ditches—such as money, control, body, sexuality, healing, and many more. When that point is touched, it works like a circuit breaker or trip switch in your house. Flip the switch and the lights come on. Touch your Bars and your lights come on!

Lifetimes of limitations on these subjects are stored electrically in your brain. Doctors who are experts in biofeedback have confirmed that an hour’s Bars session changes the frequency of brain waves from beta through alpha to the theta waves of deep relaxation. This confirms what the developer of the Bars, best selling author and founder of Access Consciousness™ Gary Douglas, has been saying for 25 years, that the Bars do change the electrical function of the brain, for the better.

People suffering from strokes, Parkinson’s disease, and epilepsy can experience the Bars safely, and many have noted improvements in their condition using the Bars. Bars can be done on babies, and on 90 year olds. Many women who have had their Bars done while pregnant experience significantly less birth trauma and birth times that last only 4-5 hours.

What can you expect from a Bars session? The worst you’ll feel is at least as relaxed as after having a great massage, say practitioners. The best that can happen is your whole life can change. Whole life change definitely occurred for Dr. Dain Heer, a doctor who appeared to “have it all” 12 years ago, when he was actually planning a date for his own suicide.

During his very first session, he giggled non-stop and he’s never contemplated suicide again.

www.AccessConsciousness.com Many people who have tried meditation to quiet their pesky “monkey mind” find that having their Bars run works better, and with less work. As a yoga teacher from Holland reported, “I was doing all this work to meditate. When I lie down to have my bars run I get the same result and it’s much easier!” Others report feeling calmer overall, sleeping better, and being activated less by the irritating people in their lives. Whole families can change in surprising ways once one person starts getting their Bars run. It is best not to be vested in the outcome—one of the principles of Access is to live in the question. “How can this turn out even better than I could imagine?” is a better way to approach the Bars than doing it to fix any particular problem or person.

It’s also true that the change you’re looking for from consciousness “never looks like you think it will,” says Heer.

From the viewpoint of our limitations, we can never see what it will be like to be free of them. Fortunately, as Douglas says, “Change almost always turns out better than I expected it to,” and he has 25 years’ experience. How does it get any better than that?

Gallbladder in Traditional Chinese Medicine

By Steve Ryu, L.Ac.

G

allbladder in Traditional Chinese Medicine is the only Yang organ which does not deal directly with food and drink. It is also considered an extraordinary organ. All other Yang organs have direct contact to the outside world. It also doesn’t transport food stuffs. The Gallbladder stores a refined essence (bile) which actually makes it resemble a Yin organ.

Possibly the most important aspect of the Gallbladder is its influence on decision making.

Just as in western medicine, the Gallbladder receives bile from the Liver which it stores until it is needed for digestive processes. It is the only Yang organ that stores a refined fluid. When the Gallbladder releases bile it is considered to regulated by the Liver Qi, when digestion is smooth so is the flow of Liver Qi, conversely, the Gallbladder needs Liver Qi to flow smoothly to be able to release its bile. If this relation with the Liver is impaired it can create a situation called ‘wood overacting on earth’ which can result in rebel Stomach Qi flow.

In traditional Chinese medicine, the decision making process is dependent on the strong energy of the Gallbladder.

When the Gallbladder energy is weak, a person may have trouble making decisions.

In Chinese medicine theory every organ has a physical and a mental function in the human body. For example. the Liver is considered to be responsible for the ability to plan life, the Heart oversees all mental functions, the Small Intestine gives

clarity and wisdom to decision making, and the Gallbladder gives the courage and capacity to make decisions. All these functions must be harmonized to plan and lead a harmonized life.

The Liver and the Gallbladder are a yin yang pair. The Liver influences our capacity to plan our life and find a sense of direction, while Gallbladder influences our courage and conviction to make decisions to carry out that plan. When the Liver and Gallbladder are in balance, mentally and spiritually we are focused and decisive about our purpose in life.

A person with a diagnosis of Gallbladder deficiency may appear nervous and timid. They may lack courage and initiative and may be easily startled. Physical symptoms may include dizziness, blurred vision, panic attacks and insomnia.

Gallbladder deficiency may be congenital and actually describe the character or personality of an individual.

Gallbladder deficiency may result from traumatic childhood experiences. And Gallbladder deficiency may also result from a severe deficiency of Blood. Although extreme cases may warrant psychotherapy treatment, Chinese medicine has a lot to offer people who may fall into this pattern of imbalance.

It is also said that the Gallbladder effects the quality and length of sleep, if it is deficient a person will wake very early and not be able to return to sleep. “When the Gallbladder is deficient, one dreams of fights, trials, and suicide.”

The Liver and Gallbladder depend on each other to perform their functions. They both play an essential role in the smooth flow of Qi throughout the body.

In order to plan a good life (which is a function of the Liver), one needs good decision making skills (which is a function of the Gallbladder).

Happy Body Works Opens On Main Street

Coming Out of the Darkness and Into the Light

by Ms. Isabelle Meawasige

I

am called Isabelle Meawasige and I am a Bear Clan Woman of the Serpent River Ojibway. Because the roots of my raising were Indigenous roots, my world view is from an Indigenous perspective. That particular lens colors everything that I do and everything that I see. From the time I was a small child living with my family, extended family and my community, I did not know that there were other people living on this land. The storey tellers, the elders, the oral history teachers, the women, children and the men were all Indigenous with the exception of the village priest, who came weekly to say mass in the Indian Village church. Then the grade school teacher was also non native. I grew up in a tribal hunting society. My Ojibway People harvested off the land and waters. That is how they lived and the land is what they knew. They took care of each other and they took care of their old People. I watched the hunters and how they took care of the old people. I watched the women and how they took care of the old people... and the children how they related to the elders. Life was very hard and the people did not have much. It was the Native Spirituality that kept the spirit of the people strong. It was the reverence and respect that they had for the land and the animals.

I was ready at the time that I crossed paths with the 13 Indigenous Grandmothers and the prophesies about the end times and how it will be the women who will lead the way to the survival of the planet.

The end times prophesies stir anxiety in the hearts of man and spawns fear, worry and loss of hope. The Grandmothers offer hope for the survival of the planet and the human beings who inhabit her.

An Indigenous prophesy that the Grandmothers carried was that “a female will appear before them and in her hand she will hold a serpent staff.” Earth based wisdom and Indigenous knowledge that the serpent carries the medicine of change and transformation, which is needed in these times.

Men will protect the vision of the Grandmothers. When the Grandmothers come together to pray and do ceremony, it is the men who bring balance with their fire teachings.

How is this going to be done?

Earth Changes are visible right now.

1) Learn to get into your heart and stay there.

2) Don’t let negative energy (anxieties) take root in the heart space.

3) Clean the heart and make room for positive thoughts and new ideas.

4) Breathing meditation-mindfulness. Reflect on 5 positive events in your life each day.

Using these practices daily can help to alleviate stress and anxiety around the Earth Changes.

Discover Your Soul:

9th Annual Cosmic Pathways Healing Fair

By Nicolaas Blaauw o you ever ask yourself WHY? Why are we here?

Why do we act, feel and think the way we do? Why is there a longing for something more? And who are we anyway? There are many people asking these questions, and many more searching for solutions to life’s problems.

It has been a great privilege to offer pranic healing at the fair these last 4 years. Seeing the peace and tranquility that result from healing truly brings inner joy and happiness.

Laura’s Numerology News FOR MAY 2012

How to calculate your personal monthly number: Add the day of your birth to the month of your birth. Then you will add the number 1 to that number. NOTE – If you’re final number adds up to double digits, add the numbers together again, and again, if you have to, until you get a single number. If you still have trouble, email me at lbaird@istar.ca 1. Get ready! You have been praying for changes, right?

Well, this entire year will be filled with many unexpected ones. The month of May is very important. If you are in a rut, take the reins and get out, now.

2. Anxiety or worry is very common under this influence.

Zen out and remain calm. Relationships are in your face and you your nerves will be very close to the surface.

3. Tell everyone in your world to take a hike, and try to spend as much time as possible on #1….YOU. Spend some time analyzing how the events of the last 2-3 years, have changed your life, and how you have grown. Use this growth, now.

4. You are in an important month that demands discipline and fortitude. You must focus on decision making, career advancements, and practical purchases. Travel for work only.

5. Do you have an opportunity to move into a short term job, or contract? There is a good indication that it will be temporary, so do not lose your heart to it. This is a great learning opportunity.

6. All of your energy should be used on chores or domestic obligations. Spend your hard earned cash on the kids, house items or renovations, only.

7. Your emotions will be oozing out all over the place, so travel with lots of tissue. Use this month to focus on the most important person in your life. YOU. Get your toes painted, have a massage or take an extra yoga class.

8. A new confidence will take the place of the powerlessness that you have felt during the resent past. Force yourself to be more assertive at work, and ask for what you want and need, now.

9. You will have a certain glow about you, this month.

Don’t get excited, it’s only sweat. It is time to get rid of everything that is cluttering your path. Get ready for a shift that will start in June. Think garage sale.

How I Became Who I Was Born to Be

by Carol Gatceau initially met Albert Gaulden at St. Paul’s University late October 2011 while he was giving an evening lecture and following up with a morning seminar on “You Are Not Who You Think You Are”. I instantly enjoyed his direct and informative approach guiding me to look at the I was really taken by Albert’s clear message “that the world is like reform school. Be your own sense of divine, be your own teacher, your authentic self.”

After taking these classes I signed up for a private session. Afterwards, I realized that the “Sedona Intensive” would be such a great opportunity for me to explore. Mr. Gaulden was extremely supportive and gave clear instructions on how to apply for this life changing program.

Before I started the “Sedona Intensive-At-Home” program, I was carrying a lot of heavy energy in my cells and soul.

I was stuffing negative emotions like disappointment, anger, rage, hurt and deep sadness. Once starting this program, I was enlightened and uplifted about my ancestry and roles my parents played in my life about which I had been previously unaware. Their lives mirrored a lot about me and what I needed to face and finally clear. I profoundly learned that all my past lives and my delinquent ways showed up in the family into which I was born this lifetime.

I am clearer today about who I am and why I am the way I am. Now, I understand why the people, places and things showed up in my life, where previously I thought of myself as a victim. I needed these people and situations in order to change a lineage of my hurtful and self-centered behaviour

Albert has a book signing at the “Singing Pebble” bookstore on June 14th for his new book “From the Dog’s Mouth“. He will be lecturing at St. Paul’s University on “The Mirror Effect” on June 15th. Albert’s workshop “Two Faces, One Relationship” will be at the Chateau Laurier on June 16th. He will see clients in private sessions at the Chateau Laurier June 17th & 18th. I strongly suggest you see Albert Gaulden.

that about which I was unconscious. I am much clearer about myself and who I authentically am. I am more at peace with my childhood. I feel an acceptance of my parents, siblings, men and ex-husbands by recognizing how they mirrored past lives as well as my current behaviour. I also feel a deep awareness, excitement and gentle grace towards myself as I now know what was in those dark corners of my soul.

The “Sedona Intensive” has been my “Flashlight.” It has enlightened me about specific areas, giving me the necessary tools to excavate and discover and make big changes in my actions.

I feel more accepting of myself and the many lives I have lived, the choices I have made, the lessons I have learned and now the life I am truly meant to live. I feel a lot of gratitude for this deep, powerful process and how Albert Gaulden delivers this program gently, directly and profoundly on a weekly basis.

I am being deeply guided by my loving connection with God and I bring a loving presence to the life I live. I live from a place of gratitude, patience, integrity, openness, harmony, unity, respect, community and grace. I am being truly blessed.

Neutralizing Power Imbalances In Mediation (con’t)

L

ast month I talked about how a mediator deals with power imbalances by focusing on the family law of Ontario as an objective standard that can eliminate a couple’s subjective views about their separation settlement. Here are some other ways a mediator deals with power imbalances. (I should emphasize that by “power imbalances,” I do not mean situations where serious spousal abuse has occurred. In these situations, mediation is probably not recommended.)

1. Independent Legal Advice. If one spouse is taking a position in mediation that is blatantly unfair to the other person, I will often say that I would like them to get advice from separate lawyers before we meet again. I don’t normally insist on independent legal advice, as most couples understand that I am a neutral lawyer giving them objective legal information. However, having one or both parties consult their own lawyer and bring that advice back into mediation can be an effective way of helping the disempowered person feel stronger in mediation.

2. “Micro Moves.” These are the tiny interventions a mediator can make during a mediation session to help balance the power at a micro level by creating equal time and space at the table for both people. They include making sure that both parties have the same amount of time to talk, carefully listening to them both talk and helping the disadvantaged spouse articulate his or her concerns without interruption, asking the more dominant spouse to join me in listening to the other spouse without interruption and jot down his or her thoughts while the other one is speaking, etc.

3. Reinforce Commitment. Another way of dealing with power imbalances is to obtain the parties’ commitment to focus on the underlying interests they have in common.

This often involves their mutual intention that they make decisions that are in their children’s best interests. By turning the conversation away from the differing views each spouse has about how they should settle their issues, and redirecting it towards the couple’s main shared interest, a mediator can help ensure that the couple is working together towards a fair resolution.

4. Talk About the Problem. Sometimes the most effective way to rebalance the power scales in mediation is simply to talk about what is going on at the table at the time it is going on. A wise mentor said to me many years ago, “Just describe what you see.” One of the functions of a mediator is to observe a couple’s words and actions at the mediation table and reflect these back to them in a non-judgmental manner.

It can be as simple as me saying, “Could we all take a time out here and talk about how this is going?” I have found that when I just share my observations about how the couple is interacting at the mediation table, many supposed imbalances

shift or disappear completely. Making a simple comment like, “I notice when we talk about this particular issue, John, you roll your eyes and, Mary, you shift away from John in your chair. Can we talk about what is happening in those moments?” can help surface underlying concerns and “call” the more powerful spouse on his or her inappropriate behaviour.

I once said to a couple, “You know, some people talk about ‘power imbalances’ in mediation. Do you think that’s something that may be happening right now with both of you?” This comment alone broke their pattern of relating to each other and led them into a productive conversation about how best to move forward.

Simple techniques these, but powerful.

Evita Roche was Canada’s first full-time lawyer-mediator. Since 1979, she has helped over 5,000 couples mediate the issues arising from their separation. In the 1990’s Evita was a Professor of family law and mediation at the University of Ottawa Law School, where she received the first Excellence in Teaching Award. Her private practice is restricted to separation and divorce mediation, and she frequently delivers seminars on subjects related to family law.

Drinking In Life -

Organic, Kosher and Alive

I

by Yvette Guy

t’s been a while since I felt the “need” to share some information about anything. The past two years, in fact, have been busy and I must say the focus has been on myself and my own personal relationships.

During that time a lot of realizations have come forward.

You may remember that I had lost a “significant amount of weight”.

Dieting (all of my life) had been long and challenging and with it eliminating all foods that I liked to have. Unfortunately, I did not have a signal in my brain that said.

“You’re full”, or “that’s too sweet”.

It seems like I never had it, since I could not relate to what others would say about the sweetness of food.

Unless I “deprived” myself of all food and kept a very rigid control over my desires, weight would creep in. I’m tired of dieting, they don’t work and in frustration said to the universe: “I want to eat what I want” and still lose weight without having to be on a stringent diet. AT LAST, my prayers were answered in the form of “The Moringa Tree”, also known as the “Miracle Tree”. A plant so nutrient complete, that the Discovery Channel made a documentary about it. It’s a perfect plant that knows how to protect itself, through taste and odor, similar to what we do when we close our hearts from ourselves and others. Over 65 companies tried to put it in a pill format and FAILED. Russ Bianchi (owner of a company called Adept Solutions, http://russbianchi.com/) was approached by Zija International to find a way to make the Moringa tree into viable edible format, without losing all of it’s amazing nutrients, and keeping it 100% organic, kosher and all enzymatically alive and active.

Russ Bianchi succeeded where others failed. You can hear an interview with Russ on line using this link http://www. oneteamworldwide.com/category/zija-formulator/ and you can also see the Discovery Channel documentary on the website http://www.ltdnow.co/.

Russ talks about the Moringa tree and the process that he used. How alive and rich this incredible plant/tree is and how, with a lot of work and money, he has made it 100% absorbable. Nothing is lost all 90 plus nutrients intact.

Nutrients that a plant probably should not have like: 20 amino

30

acids (including the 9 essential amino acids that the body does not produce itself), all the omega’s 3, 6 and 9, vitamins, minerals, protein, more anti-aging, anti-inflammatory and anti-oxidants properties that are “Natural” to the plant. Zija is also 100% bioavailable.

So what did it do for me? My brain feels more alive, I have more focus and “JOIE de Vivre”!

But most of all, I feel great, more energy, more emotionally balanced, excited about what I do for a living and extremely excited about this plant. I’ve been using the Weight Management system (all moringa based nutrients 100% natural 100% organic). Within one day (that’s right, one day) all my cravings for foods disappeared. Everyone who has tried the products experienced the same thing. I can eat anything, and when I’m full, I’m full. I leave food on my plate, my portions are smaller. I’m not even trying to change anything. Russ’ explanation, is simply this, when you get all your nutrients, you don’t need as much food, the nutrients are being absorbed and my body knows it. YEAH!....

Energetically what I see when someone else uses the drink, “they glow with health!” Their eyes become brighter, more energy, depression leaves and they look excited and happier. Life feels great. (And all without drugs!) However, don’t get caught in thinking that it’s only for Weight Management.

If you’ve been tired and don’t have any energy.... this is for you. Get your nutrients. We are overfed and undernourished.

Who can use this? Anyone who is able to drink fluids. Zija International says we are providing nutrition to the world.

However, independent research from: • John Hopkins Medicine, • The National Institute of Health, • Trees for Life International, • Natural News.com, • the Sunday Times, and • Purdue University Center for New Crops and Plant Products, (they all say it’s a Miracle tree).

One organization says that the Moringa can cure 323 types of diseases. (Research papers can be found on www.ltdnow. co/). Zija says, we are giving to our bodies the nutrients that enhance health and the immune system takes it from there.

We are planning an information evening in Ottawa towards the end of May, if you are interested in attending please contact me. We have distributors in Pembroke, Ottawa, Gatineau, Chelsea, Scottsdale and Toronto, contact me so that I can direct you to a distributor closest to you.

Oh, by the way I forgot to say...

I’ve lost 23 lbs in 2.5 weeks... and Paul lost 25 lbs in 3 weeks.

May 2012

owsing has been around for a very long time. It has a rich and fascinating history in Europe and Asia going back to prehistory.

Some early practitioners were Druids who apparently helped Roman soldiers build the highways through Europe that are still being used. They’re associated with some of the famous churches, as these were built over top of the ruins of theirs, a common practice for invading armies or religions on the move.

They apparently looked for underground water sources like rivers, to build the highways on because this made the endless marching of the soldiers bearable. There is something about the underground rivers that makes walking more pleasant, almost as if walking on water.

More recently they have been used effectively by the Austrian Highway Department to improve highway safety.

These practitioners jealously guarded their knowledge for many years, but thanks to the internet and a variety of authors, this knowledge has hit the streets running.

Sometimes this art is called Water Witching or Divining, but is used nowadays for a variety of reasons.

It’s very common in Europe and not considered unusual to have someone come to your house or your property to dowse it for a variety of reasons, such as finding water for a well, finding places where geological faults exist that will cause your foundation to crack, advising places where unhealthy radio frequency emissions are located, etc..

With a bit of training you can learn this ancient art and then with practice, over time, improve your accuracy and knowledge. There are books available in our library, public libraries and online, to explain the finer details and people who will teach methods for dowsing as well as DVD courses available, depending on what appeals to you.

From a purely, modern mechanistic point of view, it makes absolutely no sense. Really, how are rods made from wood, metal, plastic or whatever, going to help you clear your house of issues that you can’t see, hear, taste or touch?

How could they possibly know where to find water, know it’s depth and rate of flow, metals, lost items, underground cables, pipes, or find sources of issues with your electronic equipment etc?

It is not reasonable... or sensible.. or normal... : ) But, it can.

And, that is part of the mystique. And, that is why every second Wednesday of the month (except July and August) a dedicated group of people show up at the Routhier Community Centre to do demonstrations, talk about experiences, set up on-location dowsing challenges, help newbies, show projects and just generally discuss this art form.

Periodically, there are introductory/ advanced courses for people interested in learning or understanding this practise.

We and the Canadian Society of Dowsers hosted an event last October in Ottawa and we’re hosting again, in October.

Check out “OttawaDowsers.org”, for general information, links , and listings of upcoming events in the vibrant local dowsing community. We are an all volunteer group and basically just a “show up and join in the fun”. We take it seriously, but yet not too seriously and we are always open to people just dropping in to check it all out.

And this doesn’t even start to mention about pendulums, another topic that is closely linked to the traditional dowsing which is also very popular.

The meetings are the second Wednesday of each month except for July/August at the Routhier Community Centre on 172 Guigues Street (towards the river from the downtown Market).

Come join the fun and learn about dowsing.

The Water Of Existence

T

he water of existence is the water in the well and our water is the water we have to carry to the well and the well is the well we are living inside. In our well we are the existence and the water in the well is existence and our existence is our self as the water bearer. The water bearer is an existence teacher who is existing now as a water bearer of teachings of existence. This is what we are teaching ourselves. As we are teaching this we are the water of existence inside our water wheel. The water wheel is a wheel we have to make inside our well. The well is turning inside our mind and we are the wheel in the well and the well is turned and we are the wheel of existence. This is the wheel we are in and the wheel is outside of us and inside of us and this is the wheel of our destiny. The wheel of destiny is our truth as the wheel turns and we are turning inside the wheel as it is turning and we are the wheel in the truth of our own destiny.

The destiny of the wheel is the water of existence and we can turn the wheel forward or backward. The water is turning back into the water of the wheel of the existence as we are turning back into the water and we are the water which is watering the wheel. The water is watering the wheel as we are seated inside the well. The well is where we are taking our small lessons. The well is where we learn about our well teacher. The well is a well we are living inside. The well is a place in our mind. In the mind we are the well and the well is our water teaching. This is what we are doing as the well is our habitual pattern of thinking. This is what we prefer to think about when we think as it is helping us to know our well thinking place. So the well thinking place is a watery place we go to in our mind.

This is what we believe is called the Dharma of love. The dharma of love is a place we have been told about and this is what we believe. The truth is the existence of life is the water wheel we are receiving in life which is turning and we are the turning of the wheel of the truth of the water of existence and our wheel is an existence teaching we receive when we are being guided to know the dharma of love which is our compassion truth. The compassion truth is the dharma of love of our teacher who is a Compassion truth teacher and this is how we are compassion. We practice the dharma of love of all water bearers who are being brought to knowledge of the water of existence. This is the water of our lives in the watery worlds of our ancestors and our teachings and we are the answer we seek. It is the compassion of our life to know this. It is called the Compassionate Truth.

We welcome all who wish to achieve to-day experiences. All random! Well, the truth of the matter their true potential and live their best life! is that life is not random. Everything happens for a reason.

Meetings held Monday evenings - 6:45-8:30pm When we come into this life, we come with a body and a soul. Our body may be new, but our soul is not. It’s been here For more details, search for us on Facebook and Meetup, or contact: before – maybe once, twice, nobody knows how often. But Tracey Doyle - 613-794-0338 - ottawakgroup@hotmail.com what we do know is that a soul will continue to pass from lifetime to lifetime (from body to body), until it becomes as to us, for example unfounded fears. Some people are afraid pure as it was before the day of creation. What exactly does to get a haircut. They’ve never had a bad experience with pure mean? It means there is absolutely no desire to receive a barber or hairdresser, but they’re afraid to cut their hair! for the self-alone.

Others are afraid of confined spaces and won’t get on a plane Every day we are all in a constant state of want. We want or in to an elevator. food, we want money, we want to be liked and respected. Our Lastly, we must look at parts of our life, including people, list of wants and desires is endless. That’s not always bad. that aren’t all that great, but we’ve simply grown to accept.

Desiring a life of happiness, or wanting to provide for our If we look closely at all of these signs, it is easy to see how family and achieve new heights in our career, is good. But they are associated with the desire to receive for the self-alone what we must consider is how we fulfill those wants and – or the desire to feel comfortable. We get angry when we desires, and what happens to us along the way. don’t get what we want or we shy away from a bully because This is where our soul comes into play. When a soul enters we don’t want to deal with confrontation. We experience a new body, it brings remnants from its past. And those painful situations over and over again and accept nonsense remnants become part of us. Some remnants are good, and or negative people in to our lives because doing something some are bad. Our job, as the vessel for the soul in this new about them is too difficult. lifetime, is to remove all the bad. It is those that our soul must All of these signs link us to the past lifetime(s) of our soul. be cleansed of in order to achieve its goal. Unfortunately, They are signs telling us where our soul went wrong, and that removing the bad remnants is a challenge - for two reasons. we need to do something about it.

One is that we have no way of knowing what our soul has The second step in removing our desire to receive for the been through in a past lifetime. And two, while our soul is self-alone is to pay attention to our reactions, identify when seeking a state of purity and hoping to eliminate its desire to our ego is pushing us into our comfort zone, and then fight receive for the self-alone, our body (or more specifically our it! It will be hard and it will be uncomfortable, but in the ego) is always trying to receive for the self-alone. In essence, end, it will pay off. Not only will we help our soul cleanse, our soul and body (or ego) are in constant battle. The only we will also become a less selfish, less reactive person. That way we can help our soul is to fight our ego. We must fight our alone will bring an unexpected joy that will pave the way for desire to receive for the self-alone. a happier life and a better world.

Our ego will do everything feeling skeptical, it is likely your ego trying to take control. in its power to keep us comfortable. Even at the expense of Ignore it! Your soul, if you listen carefully, is begging for you another individual. to believe me!

Now, how do we go about fighting this desire? The first step is to recognize signs of discomfort in our everyday life. There The Ottawa Kabbalah Study Group meets weekly are many.

A

global “Smart Grid” program is being implemented which is blasting homes and business with more electromagnetic radiation than humans beings have ever been subject to in human history. It is preposterous to assume this will not lead to major human and animals epidemics. We must now face the very serious problem that the institution, governments, corporations and foundations, that are supposed to be serving out interests are deliberately violating, exploiting, endangering and assaulting us 24/7 365 days a year.

Are We Electromagnetic Radiation Guinea Pigs?

This exposes us to electromagnetic radiation (EMR) as a major danger and violation to all current and future generations.

Just like an opera singer can shatter a glass when she hits a certain high note. It is done with a vibration.

Few things have threatened public safety, health and privacy as has the SMART GRID system. The SMART? Meter installations continue in spite of massive public protest, despite evidence showing that the meters and the system are not only NOT safe or efficient; they pose a real and immediate danger to the population at large. This system is not about energy efficiency, or saving resources or any of the other fabricated excuses used to justify this assault on the public.

SMART Grid is simply a system to high jack energy services, to spy on you and data mine your activities and can cause serious harm to your overall health. In addition to the unlawful surveillance performed by the meters, is the overall exposure to massive amounts of radiation. We are swimming in a sea of radiation frequencies that bombard us at the cellular level.

Cell Phones, Wi-Fi and computers and all other technological wonders all contribute to the growing invisible threat to our basic structure. While you can shut off your cell phone, Wi-Fi and computer to give our bodies a break. You can not shut off the SMART meter and it pulses emf radiation thousands of times each and every day non stop.

In the meantime were just now beginning to understand how electromagnetic fields affect all of us. We need to make wise choices and ensure a safe future for ourselves our children and out planet. It is time we stop letting ourselves be guinea pigs. Its time to think outside the box, to find out what all this relentless pollution is doing to us after hours, days, weeks and months.

LIBRA (September 22 – October 21) -- Venus is going to be in Gemini for awhile. Make better business decisions. Don’t let all that air go to your head. Caution with contracts and conversations that mean money.

SCORPIO (October 22 – November 20) -- Patience will turn out to be a virtue for you this month if you exercise your option to use it. The Full Moon in Scorpio on May 5 will tell you a lot about what needs to change, retool or let go of.

SAGITTARIUS (November 21 – December 20) -- Every time you turn around there is another person or place you’d rather be or go. Someone new and interesting will enter your life in a few weeks. You must be prepared for change.

It is Time for Humanity to THRIVE!

by Daniel Mauro (*This article is excerpted from the DEC 2011 edition)

T

hrillers involving secret codes have become very popular these days (e.g., Contact, Da Vinci Code, National Treasure). Wouldn’t it be amazing if someone discovered a legitimate CODE, one “so important that it could give us access to clean, boundless energy and a template for designing sustainable systems for humanity?” How might such a code impact the earth, its life-forms and the fate of the human species?

In recent years, scientists and inventors at the cuttingedge of physics have discovered an encrypted message known by the ancient cultures - a core recurring pattern that reveals how energy works in the universe.

Known as the TORUS, this donut shaped energy vortex weaves itself throughout the structure of space and evolves life on all scales. You can find evidence of the torus at virtually every level of existence including: atoms, cells, flowers, animals, weather patterns, planets, suns, and galaxies. According to Foster Gamble, understanding the technological and metaphysical properties of the torus structure could help to alleviate some of humanity’s greatest challenges.

“THRIVE: What on Earth Will it Take?” is a riveting and visually dazzling documentary that connects the dots to reveal the hidden power agendas of those who run the world, explains how money has been systematically used to enslave humanity, and explores a fascinating array of seemingly unrelated topics such as the torus, free energy solutions, UFOs, quantum physics, consciousness, banking practices, and the global domination agenda.

The film is systematically organized according to four primary themes: The Code; Follow the Money; Global Domination; Solutions. Foster Gamble and friends manage to reveal the truth in a way that is neither demoralizing nor judgmental. Quite the contrary, the film concludes with a variety of inspired and thoroughly researched solutions that we can put into practice in order to transform our world into what we all know it can be. Isn’t it time for humanity to THRIVE rather than just SURVIVE?

56

From the producers of THRIVE: “The torus is nature’s way of creating and sustaining life and it can serve as a template for sustainability. Knowledge of the pattern is already advancing fan and propeller technologies, powering clean, ‘new energy’ devices, and helping us better understand the nature of the “unified field...‘Free Energy’ is available anywhere, for anyone...and would make energy access so inexpensive as to dramatically raise the quality of life for everyone.”

“Investigate any major sector of human activity and you will discover the same people are in control, benefiting financially, literally making out like bandits. By getting a clearer picture of the hidden economic incentives that are driving this unseen robbery, we can create more effective solutions to the problems facing humanity.”

“THRIVE is an unconventional documentary that lifts the veil on what’s REALLY going on in our world by following the money upstream - uncovering the global consolidation of power in nearly every aspect of our lives. Weaving together breakthroughs in science, consciousness and activism, THRIVE offers real solutions, empowering us with unprecedented and bold strategies for reclaiming our lives and our future.”

Reviewers give TRIVE 5 star ratings.

“No matter where you come down on the Illuminati Conspiracy, this is empowering, must-see filmmaking, unlike anything you’ll have seen before - a combination call-toarms and Disney ride.”

“The film is very well produced and features terrific graphics, but it is the content that is most impressive. We stand at a crossroads in human history. THRIVE makes clear the choice - sleep into slavery or awaken into a level of existence beyond mere survival.”

“The most pivotal movie ever?...It is more than a message...It’s a movement. My entire being lit up watching this film!

Experience 4 DEEP TRUTHS with GREGG BRADEN in Ottawa

by Daniel Mauro ike no other time in history, the world is yearning for authentic, high integrity leaders who are of genuine service to humanity. Gregg Braden can be described as one of the great wayshowers of our time, initiating us gracefully into enlightened ways of being as we transition courageously into the new world that is emerging before our eyes. As a world-renowned pioneer in bridging science and spirituality, Gregg has a special talent for connecting the dots between leading-edge physics and ancient spiritual practices. We are deeply grateful that Gregg is visiting us in Ottawa for the first time in 2012: his insights into the ongoing shifts in human consciousness are highly relevant and very well-timed!

Gregg Braden is presenting 2 programs in Ottawa. In addition to the full day program taking place on May 12, we have added a NEW evening lecture (on May 11). The evening event “Living on the Edge” will be held at Carleton University while the full day program “Deep Truth” takes place at the Ottawa Convention Centre.

It is important to clarify that both events (despite different titles) are based on the same material from Gregg’s latest book: “Deep Truth.” The Saturday program is a more comprehensive version of the Friday (overview) program.

Those attending the Friday evening lecture may decide to check out the Saturday program in order to benefit from an in-depth and expanded treatment of the 4 Deep Truths highlighted in Gregg’s book: Deep Truth 1: By Chance or Design? New evidence of an ancient blueprint. Deep Truth 2: The Hidden History of a Forgotten Past: Evidence that should not exist. Deep Truth 3: The Future is Now: We’re at the tipping point of civilization and life. Deep Truth 4: We’re “Wired” for Peace: The mistake that cost a century of lives.

For more info about Gregg Braden in Ottawa or to purchase your ticket(s) online, please visit: www.

SpeakingVisionaries.com Those who have seen Gregg in person know of the effortless brilliance, gentle humility, and heart-felt presence that he brings to every moment. We look forward to seeing you May 11 OR 12 as we come together in harmony to create one of the most memorable (Ottawa) events of 2012!

How Does One Forgive the Unforgivable?

B

oth my father and mother were survivors of the holocaust of World War 2 in Poland. My mother’s family was cut in half with the death of her parents, grandparents, aunts and uncles. One of her brothers and a sister were taken away, never to be seen again. My father’s extended family was reduced to less than 6 members. No one from his nuclear family lived to be liberated.

I grew up watching the very different approaches to life my parents had. My mother was a very bitter, angry woman.

The war had taken so much from her and left her in constant physical pain. She was faced with raising three children with no mother to show her the way. The brother & sister she was closest to were taken from her. Life had wronged her...

A brilliant woman who found herself in a strange country, frustrated at not being able to communicate & write in her ‘new language’. Who could argue with how right she was to be angry. She suffered so....

And then there was my father. I remember him waking every morning with a smile on his face, eager to get to the day. He had many in their community who would come to him for emotional and practical support, which he would always try to say ‘yes’ to. He seemed to live his life through his heart, full of joy in each moment - in spite of what he ‘lost’... He found peace.

When I asked him how he could forgive the unforgivable - the destruction of his family, his response was so simple: “They have taken all that they are going to. It’s my choice to live joyfully now.”

Yes, words that sounded so simple, yet so far beyond my reality. I was too busy finding injustice in my life: from having been kidnaped when I was 6 years old, to wearing the righteous label of being a child of holocaust survivors, to two messy divorces - including a custody battle. I was right!!! All agreed!!! And I was suffering...

I ‘knew’ it could be better. I spent years in the social sciences looking for an answer, from research at university to becoming a Master Clinical Hypnotherapist. And, I worked with some of the most marvelous, talented therapists who, given my ‘history’, always confirmed my ‘right to suffer’...

It wasn’t until I found “The Work” of Byron Katie that I began to understand what my father knew. Having attended 3 of her schools - staffing two of them, I am now ‘starting to get a clue’. Being right like this means giving oneself the right to suffer, and that no longer works for me. Suffering is a choice that we do NOT have to say yes to. With this simple process that Katie offers (through her school, programs, and free of charge: her website www.thework.com) I have come to see the “how to” in order to get to what my father lived by. To let go of the suffering. The great thing about the past is: it’s over. And it’s ALWAYS my choice on how to live my now...

Illuminating The Mystery of Spiritual Healing

G

etting on the road to spiritual recovery is recognizing that our physical bodies are tools or vehicles of consciousness motion, or evolution to be specific.

Our spirits are attached via a vast sea of communication energies.

The spiritual body operates similar to a shining cloud of charged ions, but these clouds have been violated, so we live within a divine plan to restore us dirty, non-shining little clouds, to brilliant pearls or stars. Our proper image actually shines upon us as the Love of YHWH God. The false shining light of this corrupted world is overcome by the Light and Love of YHWH God. If we feel bad, this is the false light operating. The false light will see the Light of YHWH God as an enemy to itself, so wisdom teachings and examples are necessary to show the benefits of receiving YHWH God’s Love.

Many true prophets have come before us with this Light of Love, yet it is often rejected, along with the true prophets. In the New Testament, the false prophet “Barnabus” was chosen by the masses over the Light and Love of YHWH God’s

Be With Self:

Three steps to avoid eating when not hungry and building a nourished consciousness

Ashley White, MPH, Nutritionist and Certified Health Coach erhaps you’ve been there. It’s Monday afternoon, you’ve got several tasks to complete before heading home for the evening. The work doesn’t particularly inspire nor is it challenging. You decide to head to the cafeteria, or the corner store, and pick up a snack. You bring the snack back to your desk, and slowly start munching away while you break into your tasks at the computer. Before you know it, the snack is gone and you barely tasted it.

Sometimes, the act of getting a snack when not hungry is an out-of-body-experience. The mind is disconnected from the gut’s hunger and satiety signals and is, literally, out of the body.

energies - being made manifest by the Office of the Christ.

The result of spiritual healing and cleansing can appear with physical manifestations in this world, but the spiritual “work” must precede the physical healing. Dr. J.J. Hurtak PhD, PhD is the foremost teacher on the subject.

The false light is so deceptive that even the elect would be deceived, if that were possible. False light can feel very good, while the true Light may not be readily apparent. It has been rejected a very long time.

three consciousness-raising steps that will help you deal with these “food decision points”. Food decision points are particularly recognizable because you don’t often know what you want to eat and have no discernible cravings, but you just have the urge to eat. The steps are known as BWS: Be With Self. A brief description of each step is here, but a more thorough review is available on my blog at www.learntobewell.ca.

B is for “I’m Back!”: This comes from Committed Impulse Actor Training in NYC. Firmly, and with conviction, shout “I’m Back” when you reach a food decision point to ensure you are fully present and connected to your physical body.

W is for Water: Take a glass of water to address thirst and take the time to think about how eating when you’re not hungry will affect you.

S is for Scale: Calibrate your own hunger scale from 1 – 10 and aim to eat in a way that honours your true hunger to maximum satisfaction and optimal nutrition.

Spring Cleaning Using Feng Shui

S

pring is a time of rebirth and renewal. A wonderful time to bring some of that fresh energy into your life.

How? By clearing some of the clutter and stagnation out of your home using a Feng Shui tool called the Bagua.

(You can get a copy of the bagua from my website abundantlivingbydesign.com.) Using the bagua look through your home to see in which quadrants the clutter is most obvious. For some people this could be in all of them, for others it might be only one or two. Keep the following in mind:

• Clutter in the Wealth area may mean not enough money to make ends meet. Also you may feel overwhelmed and over extended.

• Clutter in the Fame area may mean that you are unsure of your direction and who you are or you may feel that others just don’t like you.

• Clutter in the Relationship area may show up as an inability to meet or keep a partner as well as problems with other relationships.

• Clutter in the Health and family area might mean a lack of vitality, illness or difficulty with and a sense of distance with your family.

• Clutter in the Creativity area could show up as procrastination with lots of good ideas but a lack of motivation to start or complete them.

• Clutter in Knowledge area may find you with a tendency to blame others for your challenges or so busy that there is no time to relax.

• Clutter in the Career area could hold you back from getting ahead and show up as confusion and lack of direction.

• Clutter in the Helpful People area could mean that you always have to do things yourself because there is no one to give help and support.

Feng Shui Decluttering Organizing and Cleaning Services Let’s say your bedroom is in the wealth area and is full of clutter. Now that you are aware that this may be holding back the flow of money, you may find it easier to clean it up and let the excess stuff go. One thing to keep in mind is that the bedroom affects your relationship(s) no matter what quadrant it falls in. Makes a lot of sense if you think about it. A messy, overflowing and unappealing bedroom with an unmade bed would be more likely to repel than attract. Do you really feel like bringing someone in to share its current ambiance or will the door stay shut? Likewise your office will affect the wealth area, no matter where it lands. For example if your office is in the relationship area it will affect your relationships as well as your wealth.

Rather than just tossing things out remember their past importance to you. Thank them, bless the items and see them eagerly used by someone else. Extending gratitude to these possessions for having been a part of your life before you send them on, is a high vibrational way of healing. When I am expressing gratitude in my life, for everything, not just the good stuff, I feel a profound shift in my way of being, when I remember that is. Give Gratitude a try.

Ask to have all the energy returned to you that was drained from you while these items were part of your life.

This should help keep you from feeling exhausted.

I’ll be at the Cosmic Pathways Healing Fair at the Glebe Community Centre on June 3, 2012. Come by and say hi.

Come to Muskoka and Soothe Your Soul!

B

lending my Reiki background, leadership experience and love of nature, I developed Inner Guidance Nature Retreats a few years ago. The retreats are held at my 106 year old cottage, on an island in beautiful Lake Muskoka – a place where one can watch the sun rise over the lake; feel the peace of millennia emanating from the water and the quartzveined rocks; smell the fresh air scented with pine needles, cedar, and sweet grass.

On an island, one feels remote from city life, and one tunes in to the rhythms of nature: the Song Sparrow wakes us, and the last log turning to embers in the old stone fireplace sends us to bed.

Participants come from far and wide, and each seems to leave an imprint on our Sacred Circle, as the ancestors did before. We hike on the Canadian Shield; lie on lichen-covered granite, nurtured by Mother Earth; we watch the sun rise over the lake as if it were the first time. We feel free to hug the trees, smell the wildflowers, and appreciate the birds and other animals

n my last vacation, I resisted packing until the eleventh hour. And, inevitably, I forgot the essentials. Essential oils, that is! I realized that over the past 16 or so years that I have been using natural ingredients, living without them was not an option. I was able to locate some and made my choices: almond oil, shea butter, and essential oils of lavender, rosemary, clove and peppermint. Ah, relief! I picked up some Epsom salts from a drugstore and hurried back home. I had brought two of my kids with me, and they were feeling the effects of walking …a lot of walking. I prepared a foot soak for them by blending almond oil with peppermint, adding the salts and filling the tub with warm water.

Happy feet! My sore muscles and spinning mind were treated to a massage blend of soothing lavender, analgesic clove and grounding rosemary. Over the next few weeks, we used our remedies extensively.

My final use for the oils was actually not as much fun. I concocted a spray of lavender, vinegar and water to rid my stepmother’s kitchen of geriatric cat incontinence. Well, maybe not fun, but it worked! When travelling, I would recommend that, at the very least, everyone have lavender essential oil with them. It is one of the most useful for various ailments-burns, cuts, sore muscles, relaxation…Wherever you go, you can always find a good carrier oil to make your blend, whether it be almond, oil or sunflower. Simple is good. Simple and natural is even better.

Without a doubt, our nutrition can also suffer when we travel. Unless we have the luxury of accommodations with a full kitchen—where we can prepare quality, homemade foods—or are enjoying all of our meals in health-conscious,

higher end restaurants—eschewing all fast food and greasy spoon options—many of us will find that we are getting far fewer nutrients, while away from home, than our bodies are accustomed to.

While eating out, consider asking your server not to add sugar (found in many sauces) to your meal. Order an extra side of vegetables. See whether you can get brown rice instead of white rice, whole grain bread instead of white bread. Choose water or herbal tea over soft drinks and other sugar-laden beverages. Considering supplementing with a good quality multivitamin.

As a wise man once said, everything in moderation…including moderation itself.

So enjoy all of the epicurean marvels available to you, but considering balancing the nutritional equation with a few healthy choices here and there. ©Heather Garrod and Kristin Shropshire, MS, ROHP/RNCP.

Your Future:

Possibilities and Potential

How Numerology Validates Your Past, Explains Your Present, and Predicts Your Future

By Vikki MacKinnon There are two distinct parts to a numerology profile.

Aspects that are based on your name give an indication of your soul’s development through several lifetimes, and the attributes, talents, and predispositions that you are bringing forward into this journey.

Aspects that are based on your birth date provide information about this life journey.

They relate specifically to past, present, and future experiences and the ways in which you are meant to use your abilities and share your talents.

I have met hundreds of clients and students in my years as a numerologist. The vast majority of these men and women have been on track with their sacred contracts, and learning about the numbers of past, present, and future temporary vibrations has given them validation, clarity, confidence, and encouragement. They have been better able to see setbacks and abrupt changes within the context of their soul’s growth.

For example, during one of my teaching trips to Tokyo, I met a beautiful, serene, and radiant lady who, along with her husband and three year old son, had survived the earthquake in Kobe in 1995. She had lost her home, her parents and extended family, and her business, and a short time later her marriage had ended.

When we looked at her major cycles, (subtle and pervasive themes and influences), we could see a theme of strength and vision in her past, one of healing and spiritual development in her current cycle, and one of service in her future.

When we looked at her previous pinnacles, (external encounters, requirements, and opportunities), we could see that, until the age of thirty-seven, heartbreaking loss and sacrifice was necessary to enable her to move forward with her career and personal life.

I’m happy to write that now, in her late forties, as the founder and president of a well known company with several branch offices in Japan, she is a highly successful and prosperous business woman. Her current number 6 pinnacle is bringing benevolent energy and supportive influences to both her personal and professional life.

She shared with me that she greatly admired Audrey Hepburn and that for a very long time she has hoped that she too would be able to go to Africa and work with the children there. Most often when we have an enduring desire it is because that is what the universe wants for us. It is a calling to fulfill our sacred contract.

By looking ahead at upcoming temporary vibrations, I was able to provide further insight into her future and show her how her numbers fully support her aspirations. By looking at the numbers of her current and upcoming personal year, I was able to help her gain a sense of appropriate timing for taking action toward her goals.

Thankfully, unlike my beautiful client from Kobe, most of us will never experience a devastating earthquake; however, we all experience life altering events and sometimes agonizing decisions.

Knowing the numbers of our cycles, pinnacles, and personal years validates our experiences and choices, and shows us how to ride the crest of the wave of energy that is moving us along.

Manna - Your Food in the 21st Century

By Miorita Pincu roper nutrition has become one of the most obvious concerns of our time, and even more so for those who are on a self-healing and spiritual path. Whatever the motive to search for a proper diet - coping with the demands of a stressful lifestyle, healing a disease, weight management, or supporting your body in sustaining a higher vibration of light, you have the power to produce manna.

What is manna? It is a non-material food that each one of us has the ability to generate in order to sustain our existence.

It is not absorbed from air, sun, or any other medium. It is a form of energy with nutritional qualities that we generate from our inner light. It is quite possible that many people in different locations on the planet are currently feeding on this form of energetic nutrition. However in 2002 a process to re-activate the manna production was channelled through by Christine Day, the founder of the Amanae and Frequencies of Brilliance energetic healing modalities.

At this time there is a need to make this knowledge available to the public at large in order to support us in an easier and faster transition to higher levels of consciousness. The initiation of the Manna production is done by energetically activating the areas of the brain responsible for this process and by energetically aligning the heart with the stomach along with some simple meditative exercises. As a result each person has the ability to create his or her own unique quality of Manna.

Producing and ingesting Manna is a Soul-directed process.

Once the process is initiated, one can choose to feed only on manna for certain periods of time, or continue to eat ‘material’ foods in conjunction with it. Both choices are equally valuable.

Whether ingesting this energetic supplement with food or living solely off of manna the effect is tremendous on multiple levels.

On the physical level, manna provides complete nutrition to all the cells of the body, a nutrition that food alone can no longer provide. Furthermore this energetic supplement supports the body on multiple dimensions. The system comes into balance, consciousness is expanded and experiences will be heightened. Deep cleansing and adjustments in weight

are sometimes associated with this process, according to the needs of the body at any particular moment. Even during the times when only manna is being ingested there is a complete absence of hunger and an enhanced state of well-being, vitality, clarity of mind, and peacefulness. On an emotional level, producing manna is very nurturing. The experiences are quite personal, but in general the manna energy is maternal with a heightened awareness of love and truth. It helps in recognizing deeper and deeper layers of trauma, enabling one to embrace and release them.

Ingesting manna is a deep act of self-love. It is a path of emotional healing. Manna can become an essential part and partner on your sacred journey through life. It is a gift that only you can give to yourself. It unlocks the creative principle within the cells and opens you up to receive your birthright of sovereignty which in turn enables you to manifest your life on every level, from health and love to creativity and abundance.

Nobody can produce manna for you as nobody else can ‘remember’ and reclaim this power that is you.

Your Healing and Evolution

HEAL AND EVOLVE

Reiki and Bullying

By Alexis Nicol t seems that in this day and age we are hearing more and more about bullying. Often during a Reiki healing session, I find that someone has been bullied when they were young or are presently experiencing a similar situation.

In my experience it is not unusual to find that some people have been hurt terribly when they were younger and are subconsciously angry with themselves. It is quite possible that they are actually attracting this type of behaviour into their lives as deep down they think they deserve to be treated in this way. And, on the other hand bullies can be people that are so afraid that they feel as though they must hide their fear with anger. Perhaps this is how they have been brought up and don’t know how else to deal with their feelings. Maybe they are feeling threatened, so they cover their anxieties by hurting others, not wanting to be hurt they lash out at others.

What needs to be done is to see where this anger stems from.

Going back to understanding why we have bullied or were bullied is an important step in healing.

This is where Reiki can be of great value. Reiki offers a gentle way to return to that time in our lives when the cause of the bullying occurred. During the session, without fear or judgement we are able to see the situation with love and forgiveness. When we are able to find out the cause, it enables the healing journey to begin. It can be quite a process and usually takes more than one session. With a little patience, love and forgiveness their lives can be free of bullies and/ or bullying. When this has been experienced the feeling of freedom and joy can be exhilarating.

People around them will notice a subtle difference and will be curious. A great way for the process of healing and the extension of love to continue is to share their Reiki experience. Usually they are more than willing and happy to explain how Reiki has brought such peace into their life and how beneficial it can be.

That is what I love so much about Reiki – it is a unique and beautiful experience. After I first received it I just wanted to share it with everyone that would listen. It is a wonderful way of healing hurts; physical, metaphysical, spiritual or mental – any way possible. It just knows where to go and how to do it, all while being gentle and loving.

f you stop and think about it, we have a lot of unexplained a wellness solution illnesses around us, some more so than others. That leads Robbin Zrudlo me to some questions: Reconnection Practitioner • If the liver completely regenerates itself after 6 weeks, how is liver cancer possible? www.healandevolve.ca • Why did someone who came into the clinic last week say healandevolve@gmail.com that they were presenting symptoms of a thyroid issue, ph. 613.263.2554 but no doctor could find anything wrong with her?

• Why did I have substantial knee pain and have to give up playing sports for a number of years, but no one (doctor, Reconnective Healing™ physiotherapist, and athletic trainer) could find any Personal Reconnection™ reason for the pain?

Reconnective Animals™ Western medicine of course, generally treats the symptoms, If you want to try something new and but when the symptoms have no basis upon which to even different, reconnect with Robbin make a treatment, what do you do?

The next question that comes to my mind is what is the root Perhaps it’s time to stop looking around at our environment cause behind the increase in illnesses and dis-ease that we are to find innumerable reasons and excuses for everything that seeing all around us today? is wrong with us. It’s time to know that there is a lot within us that we can acknowledge and release, such as anger, hate, abandonment, guilt, grief etc. This is what I was led to do and I have found and overcome many of my own memories and emotions and dis-eases. In addition, my personal evolution unexpectedly led me to become a Reconnection Practitioner. Through finding Reconnective HealingTM, I have found the 205-1390 Prince of Wales answers to many of my previous questions and it is www.EssentialHealthOttawa.com my passion to share this with others. I have learned that we are not meant to live with such pain and disease, and that a different life is possible.

Ottawa is blessed with many Reiki Masters and practitioners.

Practically everyone knows someone that knows someone that has had the opportunity to have experienced Reiki. If you haven’t been fortunate enough to know someone, then you can find many Reiki practitioners listed in the Tone magazine, on the internet or just ask around. I’m pretty sure that anyone that has had Reiki would love to tell you all about their experience.

Equip You (and your kids) for Bullies Patricia Wall ©Take the Lid Off Inc

The reason armies drill and martial artists do wax-on, waxoff is to put the program into the subconscious so it becomes automatic – no thinking required. Practice with role-playing.

As corny as it sounds, play movies with bullying and talk back to the screen. Stand up and face the character, so that it’s more realistic. Pretending will create neural pathways, and pretending with directed meditation is even more effective.

For an article that describes a simple ball of light to intensify your results, go to Osloda.com, click media and enter Breaking Chains in the search box. Form the ball of light then imagine the encounter the way you’d like it to go.

In the same article it describes how to remove associations.

That’s your best tool. You can also use the Unlock directed meditation from the Living Your Light CD. If you expect bullying, your body chemistry and subliminal signals change – and invite bullying. Removing the associations stops that effect, so you no longer invite nasty encounters. It can be startling how differently people behave when you clear your expectations with Unlock.

An unexpected result of using these sorts of tools is that you recognize more bullies in your life than you had previously identified. That’s useful too, because now you can decide how to interact with them. Use strategy to protect you and your children. Your life can be a lot better.

t doesn’t help: knowing that bullies are actually afraid and that’s why they pick on you is no help when you’re dealing with obnoxious people. Whether it’s the jerk at work or the tyrant in the school yard, it’s still miserable.

It doesn’t help: knowing that confidence is your best defence, because bullies don’t pick on confident people, doesn’t help when you’re dealing with obnoxious people.

Whether your throat closes and you can’t think of anything clever to say, or your stomach ties in knots, it’s still miserable.

There are things that can help.

Start watching Dog Whisperer. Cesar teaches useful things about dominance and control dynamics clearly and concisely. Cesar’s demonstrations and guidance on calm, assertive energy will be practically useful. If your kids are being bullied too, it’s a great family activity.

Start identifying people with animals. This is just as important for you as it is for your child. Have a look around the class room or your work place and start choosing the animal that each person is being in the moment. (Their animal may change by situation, which is also important to Patricia Wall, Osloda.com 613-831-8956 observe.) One of the biggest challenges people experience Osloda: The Art of Dealing with Everyday Life is to grasp that others do not share the same values as you do, and how to understand their motivation. Like anyone, you’re inclined to project your values onto other people – and that doesn’t presented by Take the Lid Off Inc work. When you look at a human being, your subconscious wants to make them the same as you. By classifying them by animal, you allow yourself to override that subconscious urge and see more truth about the person. If they’re a tiger, they might bite you. If they’re a rabbit, don’t depend on them.

Feeling is Knowing

By Lisa Virtue

I

had a flash of insight the other day when finishing my shower. It was that I had been thinking instead of feeling. It seemed to me in that moment that thinking is the rational way to experience, when we have cut ourselves off from using feeling perceptions.

Feeling is knowing. Thinking and logic is surmising.

This is very clear when I give healing sessions. In fact, in Archangel Gabriel’s lesson to me he guided me to feel the energy to know what state it was in and how I could heal it. Using a tool to determine the energy state simply did not give me the depth of information that feeling the energy did.

How do we go about feeling in this expanded way? From the heart of course, but you knew I’d say that. The depth of knowledge that becomes available from connecting like this is profound.

If we relearn how to use this sense / connection ability and teach it to our children - or reinforce it really since it’s an innate possibility for them - they will easily do it. Then get ready for big changes.

This article has inspired me to create a workshop to teach you how to develop and expand your sense of feeling, to allow you to know more clearly. If such a workshop would be of interest to you, please send me an email or call to let me know.
