Conscious Anger

By Richard Merrill Haney, Ph.D. (Counselling Therapy)

A

str e

s

“conscious burn” is a process which can access dysfunctional, self-abusive memories which are stored very deeply at the cellular level in the body-mind. Done effectively, the “ancient anger” memories (stored in the brain stem), “old anger” s ess memories (stored in early childhood, elln w etc.) and “new anger” (from smokin currently active or present moment frui experiences) can be integrated, understood and “re-covered”: xie ty Rage is often accumulated, pent up, self esteem denied, suppressed and concentrated t anger that is at a much more intense weigh level than anger. Fury is even more COUNSELLING, COACHING concentrated anger than is rage. The & HYPNOTHERAPY CENTRE next level after fury is usually physical and/or psychological break-down.

Richard M. Haney Ph.D.(Counselling), Hypnotherapist The good news is that conscious rage and conscious fury arew also very (613) 234-5678 (613) 726-3636 possible. The bad news is that they are Bank St. (in Centretown) Pinecrest Rd. very, very difficult to access because www.ottawahypnosis.com of the pain and fear that they trigger in www.ottawacounselling.com oneself and in one’s friends and fellow “depth travellers”.

It is essential to form a “safe container” to access these memories. Commitments re: non-violence, touching, pointing, swearing, “having enough space”, etc. are imperative!!

A depth group (or a depth couple, or indeed a rare, depthoriented individual on her/his own) can form a process and/ or method for the purpose of doing conscious burn work. In groups it also is possible to have a “depth over-ride” to be called when one member wants to or needs to do a conscious burn for just a portion of the meeting. It is a good idea to have one female and one male “monitor” to ensure that the group’s commitments are adhered to.

A conscious burn is not therapy. It is not a game. It is not drama. It is not provoked on purpose. It is not triggered on purpose. It is real anger allowed to burn in full view - not denied, no resisted, not fought - just noticed and learned from. The quintessential point is “to be the anger”, not to project it “at” someone or something. The point is to own the pain of the anger; to own the “inner” conflict that generates the pain; to fuse the con-fused into deep healing.

The uniquely human biological choice (called volitional choice by the author Nathaniel Branden) to do this may well be the anti-dote to low self-esteem. There is a place where choice, anger and for-giveness intersect. Wisdom and awareness being shone on this intersection can cause very deep healing.

g tion

an

Anger can be looked at as the display of and the evidence of the conflict caused by not choosing to for-give.

Anger is generally “within” oneself.

For-giveness is generally “within” oneself. Love is letting go of fear and anger. Conscious awareness is the solvent. Could it be that conscious awareness and continuous alertness are the elixirs of life??.

Are You Aging Too Fast?

Life is not just about living longer, but rather “What quality of life do I want and how can I ceate it?”

Many people are delighted that in 2011 Canadians can expect to live 80.7 years, up slightly from 79 in 1999. But has the quality of our lives improved and what are the threats to living longer?

Most of us are born healthy. In fact cell biologist Bruce Lipton suggests that genetics only account for 25% of what we become. We become unhealthy by the conscious and unconscious choices we make. We ignore what makes us thrive because we don’t know what to do and we don’t listen to our bodies. What’s more we may become willfully blind because we don’t want to change.

The Threat What jeopardizes our 75 trillion cells are irritants or stressors such as radiation, toxins from smoking and drinking, endotoxins (created inside the body), poor food choices, lack of water, negative thoughts and emotions, burns, chemicals such as drugs and any one of the over 80,000 chemicals that have invaded our planet in the past 50 years, along with viruses, fungus, and bacteria.

Cellular Aging If left unchecked these stressors cause an imbalance in your cells that creates free radicals and other reactive oxygen species (ROS).

They increase as we age due to the dramatic decrease in the production of Redox Signaling Molecules which keep them in balance. This causes a progressive decline in your body’s adaptability and efficiency at detecting and protecting itself against invaders.

What’s more if a cell can’t repair itself when attacked by these oxidative stressors nondegradable garbage will accumulate within the cell. Cells then stop dividing properly because they are old and not well which leads to cellular decay and eventually cell destruction or apoptosis.

Susceptibility to disease and degenerative processes such as diabetes, rheumatoid arthritis, obstructive sleep apnea, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s and cancer are to a large extent the consequence of this imbalance or cellular oxidation.

The Dance of Life and Death At the cellular level your DNA, genes, chromosomes, telomeres and mitochondria are the key players in a most intricate dance of life, aging and death.

Chromosomes containing the recipe for creating you are found in the cell’s nucleus. They are made from segments

of DNA called genes. Although most DNA is packaged in chromosomes, mitochondria also have small amounts of DNA called mtDNA. These mitochondria located in the fluid that surrounds the nucleus convert food into energy that cells can use. In addition to energy production, mitochondria help regulate apoptosis.

At the end of the chromosome is a telomere, a specialized protective end involved in the replication and stability of the chromosome. Without them chromosomes would fuse and often break upon cell division.

Recently it’s been discovered that telomeres play a powerful role in responding to cellular stressors and DNA damage, key factors in aging. They get progressively shorter over time as a result of oxidative stress which may also be a major trigger in cellular aging.

Damage to telomeric DNA by reactive oxygen species (ROS) produced by either dysfunctional mitochondria or redox signaling pathways predispose cells to aging and apoptosis by decreasing the telomere length.

Discover Your Fountain Of Youth Jack LaLanne once said, “People don’t die of old age, they die of neglect.” He took care of himself and lived to 96. You can too but you must take action!

Recent research indicates that longevity can be increased by increasing the production of superoxide dismutase (SOD), catalase and glutathione, major antioxidants made right in your body.

But the only way to increase your body’s cellular production, bioavailability and utilization of superoxide dismutase, catalase and glutathione by 500% is to take ASEA. As discussed a major cause of aging is the overproduction of free radicals and other ROS. The profound scientific breakthrough of ASEA decreases this imbalance. ASEA is the only outside source of perfectly balanced stable and bioactive Redox Signaling Molecules–identical to those your body uses every second of every day to slow the aging process so you can regain your lost vitality.

So drink ASEA and let your fountain of youth flow!

Fire the Grid (FTG) I, Final Phase: November 11, 2011, 11:11GMT

A

s you may already know, the final Fire the Grid event will soon be taking place in homes and group gatherings all over the world to assist humanity in preparing for this critical time of Earth’s ascension to a higher vibratory level. This will be accomplished through the inspired contributions of people across this beautiful planet who have committed to spending one hour to become of one heart and one mind, setting the joint intention of creating a heavenly existence on Earth.

Based on Calleman’s extensive research on the Mayan calendar, it is becoming more widely accepted within Lightworkers’ circles (e.g. International Center for Reiki Training, the documentary “the Quickening”) that the creation cycles’ end date is not December 21, 2012 but rather October 28, 2011 (see http://www.calleman.com/ content/articles/end_of_creationcycles.htm for a summary of his work).

However, this date only heralds the beginning of a new major cycle, albeit one of major transformation for the Earth and humanity, known as the Galactic Creation Cycle, where the next few years will be critical in setting a new way of life, hopefully one based on love and unity. Given that many will be interested in the numerical significance of the 11th hour of the 11th day of the 11th month of 2011 and its proximity to the more accurate end date of the Mayan calendar, it appears that this time is a very opportune moment in the history of humankind to initiate a cosmic event with the participation of humanity, of course.

Many may be aware of major Earth transformations already underway, and the upcoming completion date of the current creation cycles (i.e. October 28, 2011) signals the potential of creating a whole new destiny for the human race. Setting a time at the beginning of this new Great Cycle to converge humanity’s intention for love and unity is certainly an investment in time worth making.

Please join us for one hour starting at 11:11 GMT (6:11 am, Ottawa time), on November 11, 2011, so that we may be of one people with great love in our hearts, one collective mind to become one great force, even within the comfort

of our own home in meditation or prayer, visualizing a world of joy, harmony and abundance, a world with clean water, air and soil, where everyone cares for each other. That great force will then charge the Earth field and we will become great programmers of a new time.

We now have a fresh chance to make that new field what we choose it to be by simultaneously projecting our heartfelt intentions and getting a jump start for the next stage of humanity.

Self-Love: A Dear, Deer Encounter

By Kerry Palframan RN

I

grew up with a blistering rage of self-hatred which embedded itself into the cells of my body. No wonder I was ill since the age of eight. I remember waking up as a new born, rolling my eyes back in my head, feeling angry and thinking “I am back in physical form, again—a helpless babe incapable of caring for myself.”

I did not hear a kind word in my own head until I was about the age of 37. I remember that moment well, I was so shocked that I dropped to the floor and burst into tears. The rug was an old brown shag carpet and I remember gripping it in sweet agony of my first taste of self-love.

My Creator had never stopped loving me and gently and benevolently reminded me that it is imperative to my wellbeing to be gentle, kind and loving to myself.

About 10 years ago when I was 40 years of age I was in a fit of self-rage, hating myself. I do not remember why I was so angry, but I do remember it was consuming me, again! I lived near a farmer’s field and went for a angry, stompy walk through his corn field. It was autumn and the corn had been cut and only the stumps were left so my boots made loud, crunchy sounds. It felt good to make noise and discharge my anger. Thank you Mother Earth for taking my negative energy and transmuting it into positive energy!

My head was down as I listened to the screams inside my head while berating myself with harsh words as I stomped nosily along. Well I have never felt so surprised, when a majestic stag about 15 feet in front of me looked me right in the eye, getting my attention!

Surely the deer not only saw me coming but definitely heard me as well. Yet it did not move. I burst into tears as a message came through with feelings of great love from the Creator. This magnificent creature bore a powerful message.

I heard these words, “Be gentle with yourself.” What a gift, a sacred sign.

The deer stood there for a good fifteen seconds—making sure I got the message, before bounding away into the forest.

I had been studying symbolism for ten years and knew that at that moment my higher self was aligning with my soul’s purpose so I would know I was loved.

I cried for quite some, feeling the compassion and knowing this was a pivotal moment in my life. Feeling the self-love, self-support and kindness within my own thoughts was paramount in attaining my ultimate goal of being my own best friend, which I am happy to say I have now achieved.

Thank you to all the beloved animals who effortlessly heed the call of Great Spirit to assist us humans towards our own enlightenment. I am grateful for the many gifts and messages bestowed upon me freely and daily by nature. I am blessed because I Am.

ThetaHealingTM for Adapting and Accepting Change

by Amâeil (Melinda Urban RIHR) Energy Psychotherapist, ThetaHealing Facilitator, Sacred Sound Channel ThetaHealingTM quickly, gently and easily gets to the root cause of your concerns and simultaneously releases energy from current life experiences, past generations, past lives and soul, to create deep and lasting change in your DNA! For previous articles explaining Theta/DNA Healing, and an overview of all my other services visit www.MelindaUrban.com Last month I wrote about the three stages of transition (awareness, acceptance and action) to help you during these times of immense change on Earth. Currently the ego’s perception of reality is being dismantled, and corruption, mental dis-ease, dysfunction, enslavement, deception, and false dependency are becoming increasingly transparent. All areas of our lives are being affected: jobs, relationships, health, finances, material possessions and social status. This instability in our outer environment is serving to awaken us to a deeper relationship with the safety and security in our inner core Spirit. There’s no turning back, and being adaptable and accepting of what is in your personal experience of this transition is paramount to maintaining peace amidst the chaos. It is possible. So let’s take a closer look at the second stage of transition.

Adapting first requires that you be willing to honestly look at your changed reality and name the truth, even if it’s unsettling. Any defensiveness, fear, denial or self-deception will only create energetic backlash, and perpetuate your personal shadow and limiting paradigms, as well as the larger

mind control agenda of the dark forces. Once you look past the illusion, you can then accurately discern how you fit into the new perception. Quite often some adjustment is required on your part, and this is the hallmark of stage 2 in any change - redefining yourself within a new reality. On Earth right now, the new context is Higher Truth.

You can experience the process of adaptation somewhat unconsciously. If a change is superficial or shallow you can adapt without much resistance. Even if the change is a little more profound, your self-examination may take place at a subtle level as a new awareness slowly percolates through your old self-perception. You may have a vague sense that you can no longer be who you were and a different self wants to emerge. Sometimes you feel the increasing discomfort when you operate from the old paradigm. But actually moving forward depends on whether this compelling wave of energy can break through the threshold to create a new form that is accepted into your life, or whether it will meet with unacknowledged barriers and create disharmony. Some of the blocks can be stubborn life patterns, bloodline distortions, or rigid selfdefinitions. As an example of the latter, one client remained attached to the egoA r e Yo u E x p e r i e n c i n g . . . driven life she planned for herself; to Joint Pains Digestive Problems Candida her, allowing space for her spirit and a Sensitivities Chronic Headaches Swelling different unfolding meant that she had Memory Loss Chronic Fatigue Mercury failed to meet her own expectations, Parasites Metalic Taste in Mouth Allergies and in retrospect, had been wrong about the life she had lived.

Focus On What You Want, Not On What’s Missing Sherry Harris, MSW, RSW, CHt, LM

I

f we only knew how self-defeating it is to us to focus on the lack in our lives surely we would put forward a stronger effort to stop doing that. When I was younger, I was accused of being a Pollyanna, of wearing rose coloured glasses. That was because I always saw the glass half full; I always saw the bright side of things. Little did I know then how positively that influenced by life and how much I benefitted from that way of viewing the world. Looking on the bright side does not imply being naive or impractical, ungrounded or oblivious. It does imply making a choice to see the good in everything. Gd knows, this is not always easy, but it is always helpful for us in creating the abundant, peaceful and joyous life we all say we want. If you want the lack in your life to keep expanding, keep focusing on it. If not, change your focus to one that is life-giving and expansive.

Psychotherapist Insurance Receipts Available harris.sherry@gmail.com 613-236-8852 What keeps us from choosing to see the bright side of everything we become aware of including all our thoughts, feelings, actions, behaviours? Could it be simply habit? Are we raised to see the good in everything? I wasn’t. I was raised to be a skeptic, to distrust first. I have made a conscious effort to reprogram that to love, allow, accept and trust in the Divine Plan.

In every moment of thought, I have a choice to chose love, peace, and joy and to focus on the beauty of G-d’s Love in all its myriad of expressions. Life is G-d’s Love unfolding in ways we could never understand as we are not Source, but yet are an extension of Source. As I cannot fully comprehend the vast magnitude of Infinite Intelligence, what I can do is trust all life is unfolding in the Love that is Source and to trust it is now and always has been for my highest and greatest good.

Couple’s Coach Insurance Receipts Available harris.sherry@gmail.com 613-236-8852 I need to trust there is purpose for growth and evolution in everything I perceive and to accept I do not personally have to understand it. I need merely accept it and allow it to unfold in G-d’s grace.

This is, as we all know, not easy, but worth working on. Whenever I see something that causes me to lapse into judgment, I challenge myself to find a positive in it. My default position, as is most of ours, is judgment and criticism.

I put a lot of effort into turning things around to find a positive in each situation. As what I put out is what comes back to me, that is the highest and best I can do for myself. I am also contributing to the band of higher consciousness that surrounds us. I have a choice; I can contribute to the bank of human negativity or the bank of love, allowance and acceptance that is our true Beingness. It is my choice in every moment. I do not have the right to expect everyone else to share that understanding. It would be unkind at a funeral to expect those grieving to see the wonder of their loves ones going Home. They will in time know this; right now their reality is in feeling the loss of their loved one. It is important that I accept everyone, including myself, exactly where we are in the moment, knowing we are ever evolving into more loving beings.

As I look, hear, sense and experience this world I have a choice to focus on lack or beauty and abundance. I can trust G-d’s plan or I can doubt it, thinking I know better. Once again, I want to repeat, I don’t have to understand it, just to remember life is always unfolding according to G-d’s plan.

If I judge and resist the divine plan, I create discord within myself, I then project that out to Universal Mind. This will be lovingly reflected back to me. Divine intelligence assumes what I express out in thoughts, emotions and behaviours is what I hold sacred and want back. I am changing the old saying “Be careful what you ask for” to “Be conscious what you project.” Consistently emanate love, peace and joy in an allowing and accepting way and watch your life change dramatically. The law of attraction guarantees you will receive back what you consistently put out. The key word here is consistently. Like in a restaurant, if you keep changing your order you will not get what you want. Be consistent in putting out a loving energy, seeing the divine goodness in life and watch your blessings magnify.

Stomach in Traditional Chinese Medicine

By Steve Ryu, L.Ac.

A

mong six Yang Organs in traditional Chinese Medicine, the stomach (wei), small intestine (xiao chang), and large intestine (da chang) all work together during the digestive process. Each of these yang organs is paired with a yin organ, and each is essential to good health and balance.

The stomach is paired with the spleen. It is the beginning of the digestive process, and its functions act as a yang complement to the spleen’s yin functions. Symptoms of stomach dysfunction include excessive or impaired appetite, nausea, vomiting, excessive or insufficient thirst, and mouth sores.

The stomach is responsible for receiving and ripening food. The stomach functions as a cauldron in “rotting and ripening” food to prepare it for the spleen’s extraction of its essence. Considered the “middle burner” when paired with the spleen, its proper functioning is essential for health and vitality.

The stomach controls digestion of food and water. If the stomach is weak in its ability to prepare food for digestion, the spleen is unable to create sufficient qi and blood, resulting in weakness or impairment in other organs. The stomach also begins the process of “separating the pure from the impure.” It sends the pure essence of food and fluids onward to the next yin organ for storage and transformation; the impure waste is sent to the next yang organ to be further processed or eliminated from the body.

Stomach qi moves downward. When the stomach qi functions properly, it has a downward movement. After the stomach separates the pure essence and transfers it to the spleen, the “rotted and ripened” (digested) food is sent downward to the small intestine for further processing.

If this downward energy is disrupted, however, the stomach qi moves upward. Known as rebellious stomach qi, this upward movement produces symptoms of nausea, vomiting, belching, hiccups, and acid regurgitation (often called acid reflux in the West). The stomach likes dampness and dislikes dryness. Since the stomach is a yang organ, it tends to overheat when it is out of balance.

Maintain¬¬ing a moist atmosphere with sufficient fluids in the stomach helps to ward off stomach yin deficiency. This can be achieved by avoiding alcohol, excessive spices, and dry foods (such as popcorn, bread, crackers, and dried fruit) that are consumed without fluids.

The Stomach often displays disease patterns of excess such as fire or Phlegm-fire. This can effect the mind. It can manifest as anxiety, confusion, hyperactivity, someone shutting themselves in the house, closing all the doors and windows, wanting to be alone, violent behavior, and taking off clothes in public (these all would be referred to today as manic behavior).

Most of stomach problems such as stomach upset, stomach pain, heartburn etc. can be caused by a number of different factors. Acute problems can be caused by the abdomen being exposed to cold temperatures or damp conditions, which can cause a blockage in the qi-energy of the stomach and intestines. Diet is of course a major factor. Eating too little or too much food, eating too much cold food, hot-spicy food, sugar and sweets, or greasy, fried, or dairy foods can damage the function of the stomach. Irregular eating habits such as eating too fast or on the go, eating late in the evening or at night, eating while stressed or emotionally upset, skipping breakfast, eating while performing other activities, or eating irregular amounts of food from day to day may also be factors. Emotional upset such as anger, frustration, resentment, worry and stress can lead to stomach problems, as can overwork and physical over-exertion. And finally, our inherited constitution may mean for some people a weakness in the stomach, which makes it prone to disorders such as gastritis.

Because of the accuracy in diagnosis, acupuncture and Chinese herbs can help with many of the symptoms of stomach problems and can help to reduce stress and improve overall digestive functioning. Combined with lifestyle and dietary changes, it can be an effective treatment option for resolving stomach problems, strengthening a weak digestive system, and preventing future stomach disorders from occurring.

gates stand alone as one of the best representatives of motherly love in the Mineral Kingdom. They bring to us, that one great love that so greatly shapes our life, the unconditional love of a mother. They bring it from the Earth who is mother to all of us while we are here on our Earth walk. Agates are very Earth-like. They form solid, opaque stones in warm Earthy colours. The colours are quiet, swirling and softly blend into one other.

Agates are considered by many to be common, unremarkable, and of lesser value than other stones. They are plentiful in most parts of the world and still very affordable.

Once while visiting the home of a dealer I buy stones from, I found several Agate slices that had been discarded in the driveway. I began to gather them up off the ground.

As soon as they came into my auric field I began to feel comforted and at peace. I felt a most gentle and calm love.

It was a love that was so stable and nurturing and patient. It was love that I could easily accept. I purchased all of those Agates for only $6. That was all the dealer thought they were worth. For me it was like finding ‘Gold.’ I took the Agate slices home and stood them all around the counters in my kitchen, where I still have them to this day. I’m sharing one with you in the photograph. :o) Since then I have found Agates to be the gentlest of friends. Their energy is slow and steady and to me it feels like a hug from someone who loves you deeply but has no expectations of you. I call Agate energy “the hug that never ends.” It’s like being held by someone who will never let you down, never drop you and will always support you. Imagine if we all treated ourselves this way? That is the lesson that Agate teaches. It is one of the first and best teachers of self-acceptance. It brings us to the realization that we are enough, just as we are.

Agate gradually builds self-confidence and strengthens all self-concepts. Their peaceful energy brings support to any endeavor. They teach lasting values of reliability and responsibility both inwardly and outwardly. As we learn responsibility to ourselves and the Earth, we begin to attract responsible and reliable people and circumstances into our lives. Agates inspire us to take better care of ourselves and our planet in the most loving and non-judgmental way. It’s like they lead by example, showing us that a commitment to slow and steady progress can allow for maximum development of ourselves and our projects.

Agates also help to build our immune systems and develop healthy eating and exercise habits. They do this by bringing us into balance with the Earth and the unconditional, motherly energies that she embodies for all of us. We feel more like loving and caring for ourselves.

Regaining Self-Control

By Lynne Cardinal Know that your vision is the matrix from which your reality is manifested.

An ancient Eastern myth depicts a beggar asking for money while sitting on a box that contains immense wealth.

Pondering over this concept, entire schools of thought were developed to help us understand how to access this treasure. Finally, the ancient sages came to the conclusion that our thoughts have the power to create our own reality and that inside this box, inside our heart and soul, lays a vast potential.

Today we know that our thinking patterns, established through years of unique experiences and conditioning, are highly potent and that our thoughts, attitudes, and perspectives can help to awaken or weaken us. With this in mind, we can affirm that mind is malleable and that what was learned can be unlearned. We can change our habit patterns for the better and draw from the immense possibilities within us. This idea might appear to be simple,

yet it contains an esoteric truth, one that is not so easily grasped. We usually understand this, nod, and go on with our lives unchanged.

This dilemma leads to introspective thinking. We can’t help but wonder what the real power of the mind is and how we can draw from it. It is said that mind has the capacity to reach the level of genius; however, left untrained it can lead to depression and mental illness.

Changing our World from the Inside Out with Ancient Hawaiian Mysticism

by Jody Soltau Mountain

W

e are living in a time of great movement. The earth is shaking, hurricanes, tornados and floods are arising.

In many of us, emotions are stirring, circumstances are escalating and our lives are rapidly changing. Whether or not these are ‘the last days’ or ‘the beginning of the new age’ or ‘the end of time’, it seems to be a time of acceleration on many levels.

Ancient åHawaiian Wisdom offers us guidance grounded in the wisdom of the Earth. It is an opening to the vast body of experience and information of ‘Indigenous Mind’. If we go back far enough, all of us, no matter what our race, have ancestors that lived by, on and with the land. Sustenance, medicine, social life and spirit were experienced on a continuum with the rhythms of nature. The Wisdom of Ancient, pre-Polynesian Hawai’i is no different. Its knowing is that everything is intimately connected with everything else - making our lives and surroundings one interconnected, synergistic whole. We are actually victims of nothing, but in constant relationship with everything, whether we realize it or not. As we enter this time of great movement, the earth moves with us. How we navigate the changes within, affects what seems to be coming from outside of us.

Teachings of the Ancient Kahuna of Hawai’i show us valuable and forgotten ways to listen to the wisdom of Nature that lives within each of us, deep in our cells. These ‘practical portals’ as I call them, by-pass the vast programming of the conceptual mind and create a new ‘perceptive matrix’ in our consciousness. We are able to listen with a new, clear attentiveness to our experiences within and without. As we access the movement of the Infinite — or the quantum field — in our bodies, everything that is not in alignment with our essence rises rapidly to the surface to be healed. These old traumas, fears and limitations cannot remain in place when we contact and fully engage our core principle, which is Love.

If we can dissolve our resistance to change, our need to control and our fear of the unknown, we can enter into the wise flow of ‘The Mystery’. According to the Ancients, this flow arises from deep within our cells, and is the pathway to freedom. They provide us with ways to access the Light of Divine Intelligence, Wisdom and effortless flow, in each of our one trillion cells. We are no longer left seeking for the ‘light at the end of the tunnel’, but can shift our awareness that the tunnel itself is made of Light. This very movement, emotion, thought, and sensation is the intelligence of the Universe in action. The Way, the Truth and the Light are speaking to us from deep within, right now

Meet and Love Your Soul Mate

O

ur society talks too much! You talk about how to find and attract your ideal partner, your Soul Mate, how to improve your marriage, how to love and accept others – but you do very little. All that chatter makes you comfortable – you are not lazy, you are doing busy by trying. But trying does not improve your life in any way. On the contrary, it makes you feel worse; you feel disappointed and frustrated by not getting the results you want.

Looking for a mate isn’t an easy ride. You find an attracting profile on-line; you email, chat, and talk on the phone. And, then you finally meet to experience how it feels to be in the presence of this other person. In the midst of all this, there are the awkward moments, pauses when you don’t know what to say, or how to say it. You really try hard to be likable, and this sets the stage for disappointment later.

The Meet Your Soul Mate evening sets the order straight by providing a safe environment to meet other singles, and practice silent, non-sexual tantra exercises. These exercises allow you to be yourself without pretence. Through the exercises, you immediately feel how to be around the other participants, what their eyes tell you, how they smell, how it feels to touch them, how their touch feels to you, firm, gentle, soft? You get an introduction to his or her soul before your words, construed by the mind, tumble out of your mouth to mess things up.

This practice of tantra is pure experience, filled with unconditional loving presence, gentle touch and joy, which are the foundations of a healthy relationship. When you gaze into the eyes of another human being, a new world opens up, time slows down, and you feel your partner. You allow yourself to be guided by your heart. A respectful gentle touch melts away the walls of your protection, and you become your true self – a brave, loving, feminine or masculine being.

Interestingly, sometimes couples find themselves in the same shoes as singles. Dividing household chores and organizing the kids works like a charm, but knowing what to do with each other when it comes to being intimate is lost somewhere between dirty diapers and dirty dishes.

The Love Your Soul Mate evening guides couples to reconnect to intimacy through gazing into each other’s eyes, flowing and moving together in synchronicity, gently touching, and singing mantras together,

November 2011

“Tantra avoids mind and encounters life face to face, neither thinking, “This is good,” nor thinking, “This is bad”: simply facing that which is. So it is difficult to say that this is an attitude - in fact it is a no-attitude.”

“Tantra loves, and loves unconditionally. It never says no to anything whatsoever, because everything is part of the whole, and everything has its own place in the whole, and the whole cannot exist without anything missing from it.” ~ Osho If talking and trying isn’t working for you, what does work then? Action with commitment; experiencing what is without denial! Step out of trying to find your soul mate or improving your relationship and commit to joining our Tantra events and experience unconditional loving kindness for yourself.

“Gordon you stupid!”

Desensitization Training for Proactive Health

I

n November 2008 I travelled to a small town north of Beijing called the Ming’s Tomb Gate Village. We arrived at dusk and the following morning after breakfast we began Emei Qigong teacher training. On that first day of training, during a break, the teacher and lineage holder of the eight hundred year old body of knowledge called Emei Qigong, Grandmaster Fu, looked at me and stated, “Gordon you stupid!”

This statement coming from my teacher for whom I held great respect left me instantly questioning my own intelligence.

In seconds, I felt anger, embarrassment, and self doubt.

“What’s he talking about. Am I stupid? Maybe I’m not even worthy to be a teacher?” flashed through my mind.

Glancing across the table at Ivy, my fellow student, I noticed a slight smile at the corners of her mouth and wondered, “What’s going on?”

The Grandmaster explained, “You angry right? You Westerners too sensitive, too much emotion, cause you many problems.”

When we are too emotional, the negative energy from the emotion is stored in the micro particles within the cells of our body. Each micro particle within these microscopic cells, sometimes called the “heart”, stores an entire universe of information. You can imagine the infinite amount of information that can be stored in our entire body.

The emotional desensitization idea builds on teachings from an earlier Emei Qigong course. The Emei Qigong “Yi Jing and Heart Energy Healing Method” teaches the correlation between traumatic events and various illnesses. For example, if in early childhood you were constantly called “stupid” by your brothers and sisters and you had never released the energy through forgiveness, it could later manifest as arthritic pain in the hands and feet. The hands and feet correlate to your siblings.

Each physical ailment is sourced in emotion. Another example is when a person encounters extreme fear in their life. This can cause kidney problems unless this diseased qi (energy) is released.

Thousands of these correlations have been documented over the Emei Qigong eight hundred year history. Each of the first eleven lineage holders were enlightened Buddhist monks.

Starting at the twelfth lineage holder, the lineage was shared by a monk and non-monk. Grandmaster Fu, a non-monk, is the thirteenth lineage holder, so is able to travel the world teaching this amazing body of knowledge, while the monk remains in meditation in the temple preserving the purity of the teachings. The extreme intelligence and comprehensive integration of this previously secret “university of energy science” always astounds me.

Interspersed with the teacher training in the Ming’s Tomb Gate Village, the Grandmaster would poke and prod me bringing forth emotional responses in order to point out my

November 2011

unbalanced energetic state. When we are more balanced, comments like “Gordon you stupid!” pass through our consciousness without bringing forth extreme emotional response. The intermittent testing by Grandmaster Fu slowly but effectively created a “thick skin” with the benefit of storing fewer negative emotions in the body. You can rest assured that the Grandmaster always knew the most effective buttons to press. If a person has an enlarged ego, then the perfect button is to call them stupid. Then, if they are taught the concept of emotional balance, they can raise their awareness and begin reducing their emotional responses.

Grandmaster Fu pointed out, “One month with me, you become much stronger. Six months even better!”

During the twenty-three day course in China, I became very aware of the desensitization training and wondered how I could carry on this training to become even more balanced and less emotionally reactive. I decided I would think of everyone as my teacher when I was insulted or triggered in order to keep my awareness higher and be less sensitive.

“People who less emotion, more successful!” taught Grandmaster Fu. Some people confuse “sensitivity” with being “overly sensitive”. When someone is sensitive in terms of kindness and compassion, it should not store negative energy in the body.

When someone is overly sensitive and reacts emotionally taking things personally, that is when they are planting seeds for future illness.

The negative emotions that are stored in the “heart” of the body can be thought of as seeds of illness. If we do not clear or neutralize these seeds of illness, they will grow into each of the diseases or ailments that exist in the world. With perfect balance and no overreaction emotionally, we can be perfectly healthy.

“Perfect balanced emotions, you live three hundred years,” theorized Grandmaster Fu. Each emotional upheaval reduces the perfect life length of three hundred years. For example, someone cuts you off in traffic. You angrily question their parentage. This could deduct a day or two from the three hundred years. A bitter divorce and battle for child custody could deduct five to ten years. This view of our life span underlines the value of reducing extreme emotional reaction not only for proactive health but also for longevity. Desensitization training for proactive health is an ongoing process.

On the last day of training in China, Ivy purchased some orange, juicy persimmons which we shared during a break.

It was my first encounter with this fruit and I was really enjoying them when the Grandmaster suggested, “You like persimmon?”

“Yes, very delicious!” I replied nervously.

“Ahhhhh, a lot of women like persimmon!” Grandmaster Fu prodded.

Victim Talk & Responsibility T a l k

By Marlene and Bob Neufeld

H

ow you express yourself verbally can be both a clue to what you are really thinking as well as impact how you see yourself and the world. Catching yourself speaking “victim talk” and shifting into “responsibility talk” frees up energy and allows you to live as a person of true creative power.

One definition of “victim” is “everything out there has power over me.” Victims do not feel like they have power, they feel like they are at the effect of someone or something.

The victim position is an unconscious attempt to avoid creative responsibility. It does so by veiling awareness of one’s personal power, and in doing so, greatly diminishes it. You will know you are in the victim position if you are feeling overwhelmed or powerless. The victim plays out his/ her role by focusing on their own pain and suffering, as well as defeat. Once in this role, the victim is able to feel special, as it waits for someone else to fix the problem. Victims want help, and people to rescue them. However, what often happens instead is that victims attract people who blame them. Much conflict is about two people or groups who both believe they are a bigger victim than the other.

Here are some examples of “victim talk:” • I’m trying to … (change).

• I have to … (go to the dentist).

• I should … (do better).

• I need to …(do something about that).

• You made me … (feel bad, angry, sad, scared).

• I’m sorry.

• Can I … (talk to you)?

• You never… (talk about your feelings).

• You always … (criticize me).

Victim talk allows people to • feel entitled, • create conflict, • maintain a façade, • take no action • be less than • conceal • complain, blame & criticize • give away their power • avoid living their own genius.

When we presented this concept to a couple we were working with, they asked, “Why would anyone want to avoid living their own genius?” We explored with them the unconscious ways we often sabotage our own creativity, by doing things we are incompetent, or barely competent at, or even those things that we are excellent at, but not prioritizing those things we are genius at.

Responsibility is about living in integrity and your own personal creative power. It is about revealing, appreciating, and opening to learning. It breaks down facades, deepens intimacy, and focuses on what you have control over.

Many of the ideas in this article came from colleagues Linda Brannan, Philip Johncock & Diana Chapman and are based on the work of Drs. Kathlyn & Gary Hendricks (www. hendricks.com). Many of the concepts in this article are explored in more depth in articles on our website.

Here are some examples of “responsibility talk:” • I’m making up a story that… (you don’t like me).

• I commit to … (seeing you as my ally).

• I feel … (angry, sad, afraid).

• I choose to … (go to the dentist).

• I caused … (this result).

• I notice that … (my jaw is tight).

• I’m experiencing … (tingles up my back).

• I imagine … (that you are angry).

• I wonder … (how I can communicate more clearly).

If you still have trouble, email me at lbaird@istar.ca 1. It is time to get off your butt to turn your money making ideas into reality. Look for creative ways to market yourself, or your product. This is one of the best periods of the last nine years for you to take a step forward and advance in your business. Buy and sell now.

2. You will feel that it is time to move forward, and your relationships must change, or end. Close as many other doors as you can and finish as many of your project as possible and you will float through Nov. Your emotions will be raw and visible, so try to vent them in a health way.

3. Have you lost your focus? Are you feeling scattered?

Slow down and work on something creative or fun this month. Your focus comes back next month. If you decided to take the month off and go for a holiday, this would work too, as Dec. will not allow for such luxury.

4. You really should not travel, at all, except for trips around business. The number 4 has a connection to work and duty, and lots of it. Use all of your money for practical purposes only. Force yourself to get friendly with all of the, pain in the butt chores around the house, or office.

5. Big changes, explosions, and opportunities are in your face, this month. Boxing gloves might be required, as conflicts and outburst can happen under this influence.

You must take control of your life situation, now, and get out of any RUTS, once and for all. This is a great influence for publicity, performing, and selling. Take a trip, have an adventure and use this whacky wild energy well.

6. I know that you would like this year to be over now, but it is not, so buck up. You have probably worn your nose off, on the grindstone of life. This is a rebuilding year and it demands so much work, that you could be overwhelmed at this point. You must do a final check to see if all of your foundations solid, now. (Health, home, career, etc.)

7. STOP EVERYTHING. You will need to rest and take extra care of yourself, in Nov. Try to take the focus off your relationships and work obligations and place them on your frazzled self for most of the month of Nov. There will be many demands in Dec., so get ready. Take a solitary vacation or sabbatical as, money and business projects come to a halt, anyway. It will pass.

8. What have you been thinking of spending your money on? You can safely go for it, now. This influence is great for all purchases that are connected to domestic life. Fix the roof, redo the basement, and buy your Christmas presents, whatever. You could receive some unexpected money or recognition at this time. Keep your eyes peeled for advancement opportunities.

9. No, the sun is not peeking over the horizon yet. Remain patient. You have had more than your share of ups and downs, this year. I am sure that your head is so full of worries and frustrations that you feel it could blow. The sun should be peeking above the horizon by the end of the year.

The Magical World of Animal Healing

by Sue M ~ As I heal myself, I in turn will heal them ~ I had the most extraordinary experience yesterday.

I am a Pet Healer-in-training and was invited to join Psychic, Healer & Teacher Marlene Stevens on a Pet Healing appointment. We arrived to find Tangerine better known as Tangy, a regal beautiful ginger colour tabby cat sitting awaiting our arrival. I had pictured a ginger cat the night before so my intuition was bang on!

Marlene took the lead while Tangy’s owner and I watched attentively in the background. He was very content and curious about Marlene and the healing work that she was performing on him. Before long she decided to hand over the reigns to me so to speak. Almost immediately I took over where she left off and it just seemed very natural to me.

There was no hesitation on my part.

Tangy drank in my energy as I placed my palms extended out in front on his nose. I learn that cats’ see the colours of energy and he appeared to love the colours in mine!

After we spoke with the owner about the session and the message received. Although older, she had to know that Tangy was in the natural state of his life and that he was very content here in her home with her and her newest addition, a small grey and white kitten, named Vodka who had recently been rescued from a empty building in Montreal.

The owner felt so relieved although surprised! She had believed that she was causing Tangy great stress... with both the new cat and the changes she was making to her home.

As it turned out it was her own stress about change not her cat’s that had been effecting her. Animals really do provide us with a mirror to our own fears and life issues.

Interestingly enough, Vodka the kitten played her own role in the session. She friskily pawed at the contents of Marlene’s purse reminding her about the Angel Cards hiding within. The owner ended up with the same message twice “Trustwothy Guidance” which supported Marlene’s message regarding Tangy and him “being just fine”.

What is quantum physics?

Q

uantum physics is the study of the behaviour of matter and energy at the molecular, atomic, and nuclear level.

Energy is not continuous and as such quantum physics is the branch of science that deals with the distinct, indivisible units of energy that are called quanta.

What Does Quantum Mean?

“Quantum” comes from the Latin and means “how much.” It refers to the discrete units of matter and energy that are predicted by and observed in quantum physics. Even space and time, which appear to be continuous.

So let’s simplify The way I understand Quantum physics to work, is like this: Let’s go on a trip, we will start with the Earth.

Then we have the continents, then a country, a city, and there is a human.

The human has a hand made up of cells. Cells are made up of atoms, which again are made up of particles.

A particle is a small object that cannot (so far) be measured. It moves in every random direction at different speeds. The particles’ random movements create energy.

The only time a particle is not moving is when the temperature is at 0 Kelvin (-273.15 degrees Celsius). This zero point is considered the lowest possible temperature of anything in the universe. As far as I know the only place we have found particles close to that temperature is at the edge of our inverse.

The Sharon Nasin Foundation

A place of peace, love and understanding

So what does this means? An atom is built up of particles.

Everything everywhere in the universe is made up of particles. Particles are energy everywhere in the universe As Niels Bohr (Winner of the 1922 Nobel Prize for physics, chiefly for his work on atomic structure) said, “Anyone who is not shocked by quantum theory has not understood it.”

So now you know where energy comes from. The next step is to learn how to collect it.

How can you use energy and channel it? For what purposes can you use this energy? The answers are: your imagination is your limit. Your only limitation.

There will be courses held where you will learn how to collect and use this energy. During these courses I will help you begin to develop the skills of manifestation, clairvoyance, claircognisance, clairaudience, clairsentience, healing, and so much more.

Life can be tough and painful at times, but it does not have to be. Everybody has a big support group of guides and angles. Their only purpose is to support, guide, help and protect you. During these courses you will learn how to communicate with them so that you can harvest all their help, support and love. We will go into the theory of how things work and then you will be guided through the practice of receiving and interpreting these communications.

Do not worry, everybody can develop this skill and consequently build strength and faith in yourself. You do not have to be born with special skills or gifts. These skills can be learned and built on at any age.

Courses are held in Kanata and run Wednesday evening from 6:30 until 9:00 PM. Starting November 16th, 2011.

Introduction to the Five Koshas with Kat Mills Saturday, November 5th, 1 – 3pm The Vedanta yoga approach teaches that there are different levels to being human; referred to as the koshas (sheaths). Understanding these layers is helpful in both deepening our self-knowledge as well as towards creating balance through yoga practice and in daily life. This special practice is intended to provide you with a basic understanding of the different layers of self through a brief discussion and a full, experiential yoga practice. $35+hst Sadhana Sunday, November 6th from 5 – 7am Sadhana is performed typically between the hours of 4 am and 6:30 am, a propitious time for meditation; the angle of the sun to the earth produces the greatest amount of prana of the day, and it is the time that the biological rhythms within us are most receptive to physical and mental cleansing.

At this time, we are better able to notice the patterns and tendencies which lead us away from higher consciousness and to transcend them. In meditation, we are cleansing the subconscious of fears; as we look upon these fears in a space of neutrality, they lose their sway over us and we become more free. There is no cost for Sadhana.

Yoga for the Nervous System: Healing Anxiety & Depression Through Yogic Practices Sunday, November 6th from 2 – 5:30pm In this workshop, you will learn to use the nervous system as a vehicle for change by learning to identify signals & symptoms and how to recalibrate accordingly.

What Would It Take To Get A Access Consciousness What would you choose if you knew you couldn't fail?

Good Night’s Sleep?

W

ho isn’t having trouble sleeping these days? We are constantly bombarded with negative information about the economy, global warming and the rising incidence of every medical condition known and unknown to man.

Most of us like to look for the silver lining in every cloud but without a good night’s sleep our sunny disposition loses its glimmer. Many people comment that when they get their BARS run they begin to sleep like a baby and feel a sense of peace. The Access BARS is an energetic process which has brought relief to people all over the world. The BARS consist of 32 points on the head which hold the electrical energetic charge of the thoughts, ideas, beliefs, decisions and emotions that you have stored all your life The BARS has been known to alleviate pain, stress, anxiety, worry & fear.

Poor sleep impairs judgement our immune system and our reflexes, doesn’t it make sense to get help today? Students who have their BARS run the night before a test have been known to sleep better and improve their marks.

A testimonial from a class participant from Ottawa.

Having my bars run twice during the Bars class has brought me inner peace, more awareness and a quieter mind - less anxiety, drama and scenarios.

I took the Class a few days before returning to work

Relationships and the Second Chakra

NBLJOH OFX DPOOFDUJPOT

By Anita Utas, B.A, B.Ed, Personal Relationship Coach

T

he second chakra, called the spleen or sacral chakra, is located in the lower abdomen below the navel, and in the lower back, just above the tail bone. It is concerned with the people to whom we relate, and the quality of our relationships. Second chakra issues often revolve around fears of abandonment, security, social status, children and creativity. The second and fourth chakras are uniquely interconnected - second chakra imbalance must be restored before the fourth chakra can be opened. When there is confusion about how to use our creative (second chakra) and loving (fourth chakra) energies in a balanced way, chakra dysfunctions often result. The major second-fourth chakra conflict within most women is that in order to be loved, we believe we must cater to our partnerâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s needs, and in so doing, we neglect our own.

Most of us subconsciously move into the role of our second chakra, choosing partners that fulfill our needs, which may be financial or physical security, or the desire to start a family. When unresolved second chakra issues exist, the pelvic area of the body as well as the lower back can be vulnerable to disease. Some of the physical dysfunctions associated with the second chakra are: impotence, frigidity, ovarian and uterine problems, Candida, eating disorders, drug and alcohol use, allergies, and asthma.

Studies have shown that the childhood events of women who have disease only in the second chakra (ovaries, womb, urinary tract, spleen) differ from those of women with disease in the fourth chakra (heart, breasts, lungs). In one study, 50 percent of cervical cancer patients lost their fathers due to death or desertion during their early years. On the other hand, women with breast cancer had a father who was emotionally distant.

When the second chakra is balanced, it enables us to develop a sense of personal identity and protective psychological boundaries. It aids us to continually assess our personal strengths in regard to the external world and its physically seductive forces such as sex, money, additive substances, or other people, without having to negotiate or sell ourselves. However, when the second chakra is compromised,

we may suffer from fears of betrayal or abandonment, or being controlled by events and conditions such as addiction, rape, impotence, and financial loss. According to Christiane Northrup, M.D., author of the highly acclaimed Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Bodies, Womenâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Wisdom, lower chakra wounds donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t heal until they are witnessed. Someone has to listen, and say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Yes, this happened to you.â&#x20AC;? Once the wounds are validated in this way, then the healing process can begin.

The challenge of second chakra healing is to learn to consciously interact with others in order to form relationships that support our development, and to release relationships that are an impediment to our growth. Second chakra energy gives us our basic survival instincts and intuitions, as well as our desire to create music, art, and poetry. Creative energy breaks us out of unhealthy patterns of behaviour, thoughts and relationships. People cling to habits and patterns in a subconscious attempt to thwart change, but creative energy undoes the repetition of habit. It opens channels to new thoughts and behaviours, and enables us to understand ourselves on a deeper level.

To heal second chakra wounds, facing and releasing any past traumatic events such as abandonment, miscarriage, abortion, and rape, or letting go of continued attachments to our past are the first steps. Then, getting involved in a creative activity and experimenting with chakra healing techniques such as colour therapy, essential oils and meditation, work to strengthen and balance For more information, visit www.clearwellcoaching.com, email us at clearwellcoaching@gmail.com, or call (613)558-6994 to schedule a complimentary half hour consultation.

PATHWORK® Practical spiritual wisdom that lays out a step-by-step journey into personal transformation and wholeness. A challenging yet compassionate voyage of discovery to the Real Self through the layers of our defenses, denial and fear, guided by our own inner authority.

Ottawa info: www.pathwork.ca THE AETHERIUS SOCIETY is a worldwide spiritual organization dedicated to help heal and uplift humanity. Founded in 1955 by the late Western Yogi Master Dr. George King, The Aetherius Society practices a powerful new form of Karma Yoga. This new yoga is based on the wisdom of the spiritual traditions of old as well as new wisdom released by advanced spiritual masters in response to humanity’s scientific advancement and today’s dire need. ~ For the first time the connection between the science of yoga, the theology of all major religions, the knowledge of radionics and the mystery of UFO’s is revealed. For more information please contact: Michael Hickey - Ottawa representative ottawa@aetherius.org - 613-679-4474 www. aetherius.org LECTORIUM ROSICRUCIANUM, the International School of the Golden Rosycross.

Skin and Cats:

rang ten minutes later. “Did you work on her?” asked the owner. “She just walked over to her dish and ate more than she’s eaten in weeks.”)

by Laurie Fraser Skin, male, age 40: Over the past few years this client developed spots on his skin that are without pigment (vitiligo).

Why do cats respond dramatically to energetic healing every time and people only sometimes? Is it because people get emotionally wrapped up in their illness, even identify with it, enjoy secondary benefits, fear change? Maybe it’s because people have memories and analytic minds and doubt. I don’t know, but it’s something worth pondering.

Cases of Energy Healing

First session: • vitiligo led to anxiety as a contributing cause. Anxiety removed with a B.O.S. procedure.

• vitiligo next led to holographic procedure. I connected my third eye to my heart and then pulled a holographic image out of his heart. In this case I saw a clear beach ball that was covered in spots. I removed spots like they were stickers. Many were white. I disposed of these and the ball became transparent.

• façade healing. I called upon Jesus who came to remove the facade of “addiction”. I see the façade as a grey body cast. I crack it open energetically and step back to let the visiting Divine Teacher do the work. It was bright, loving...

Second session: • anxiety procedure.

• Reconnective healing (Eric Pearl) This is a high frequency energy that re-organizes and soothes the client’s energy.

• Connect 3 (B.O.S.): This is a really interesting procedure that provides a lot of information. I muscle-test through lists to get three words and then the client and I have to find a connection between them. Once it’s understood I then remove the block. For him, the three things were: vitiligo + heart chakra + his bed.

The heart chakra was about old sadness and the bed was about self-care. The connection was that some deep old sadness was coming up at this time (literally up to his skin) to be released and healed.

I balanced the heart chakra. I took out a bunch of pale blue ribbons and then I saw a cloud of white energy over the chakra and I was directed to put that in.

• Usually I take dysfunctional energy out, but specific frequencies can also be put in. I infused #90 Raven Essence which is all about imagination, willpower, creativity, boosting disposition, releasing pain. This supports his job, on-going efforts at life changes, sadness.

Spots haven’t changed but new ones haven’t appeared.

We continue to work.

Cats: Just a comment about working on cats. I work on cats long-distance and regularly get stunning results. (For example, A cat in Montreal stopped eating and the owner feared for her life as the cat lay unresponsive in her bed day after day. I worked on her--for depression-- and the phone

52

I made a home visit to 2 cats whose owner was away for a week. No room for details here, except one cat reported a hole in her heart and did not believe her owner would return.

The second, a rescue, had the façade of hunger removed by lynx. His main concern was food supply. I cleared these blocks and the owner reported no surprises on her bed when she got home!

When healing I communicate with the clients’ energy by muscle testing (kinesiology). This gives me direction and sets priorities. I muscle test through lists (menus and submenus) of options: hundreds of B.O.S. procedures, façade healing, holographic healing, Reconnective Healing and various hands-on techniques. BOS (created by Harvey Steel, 40 years ago) is based on the premise that the body can and will heal itself when energy is flowing harmoniously. BOS developed from the old and the new: acupuncture, Body Alignment TM, TBM (Total Body Modification), and NET (neuro-emotional technique). It addresses physical, emotional, structural, chemical, and spiritual issues. Muscle testing leads to present and past causes.

I give thanks to my guides, teachers and to Archangel Michael for clearing that which is released.

Laurie Fraser is a teacher, writer and certified BOS practitioner. A session is $45.00. Call 721-3781.

I

In yoga what is awakened is the brilliant life force that flows through everything and everyone. As we continue our practice, this life force is opening one’s consciousness as it begins to flow with more power, ease and fullness through the internal energetic pathways of our body. When we awaken this energy of our true nature, we start to transform as people. Remarkably, this transformation is never about becoming someone different, rather it about embodying more fully the greatness of the person we already are.

Through opening up our bodies and finding more freedom, we concurrently open up our minds and our hearts, so that the light of our true Self can shine through. When this begins happening for us, not only do we experience and express more joy and aliveness, we bring forth a heartcentered expression into our mind-dominant world. Clearly, if anything can bring brighter change to our world, it would be the heart.

The workshop schedule is from 10am-12:30pm, 2-4pm at The School of Dance.

Building Conflict Resolving Communities – A Community-Based Conflict Resolution (CBCR) Approach

A

s communities become more diverse, it is often a challenge to realize the positive impacts of that diversity. Energy gets focused on what divides us rather than what unites us. Conflict escalates and community relations become fractured; some members are marginalized, isolated and hurt. Communitybased conflict resolution (CBCR) provides a roadmap for building conflict-resolving, peaceful communities.

“Community” can be defined as where we live, where we work, or where we share activities. A community is like a well that gathers people, brings them into regular interaction to fulfill certain psychological, emotional, relational and material needs. We can also imagine a global village, since communities are linked and interact with larger ones. They can also divide into smaller communities.

Communities can generate a sense of belonging and identity, but they are also the place where conflicts arise.

If communities and their members ignore conflict or allow adversarial approaches to take over, conflict can escalate violently and destructively, so that individuals or groups are no longer just dealing with a surface dispute, but are struggling for identity and basic human needs such as meaning, recognition, action, connectedness and security. When basic human needs are frustrated or denied, deep-rooted conflict results. The impact of the conflict can spread far beyond those directly involved.

Community-based conflict resolution (CBRC) moves communities towards healthy responses to conflict. Conflict is therefore seen as normal and as an opportunity for growth and creativity. Communities and their members become

competent in resolving their own differences without resorting to violence. The challenge in CBCR is to help communities in conflict restore trust and create healthy relationships without necessarily resolving all issues. It is a peace making process.

Through CBCR communities and their members develop the insight, motivation and skills necessary to address the deep roots of conflict in creative and constructive ways using processes that become a part of community life, and are useful in a broad range of situations.

CBCR-based training anchors community members in the culture of CBCR. Through the use of circles, dialogue, roles plays, interactive games and peer feedback, participants gain true-to-life experience in CBCR processes. With the guidance of experienced Third Party Neutral facilitators, they develop competency in how to understand a conflict, respond appropriately, and take leadership for building peaceful communities.

CBCR is characterized by processes that: • Foster dignity and respect: trust and commitment are built when people are given a “voice” and a “choice” in conflicts that affect their well-being. Individuals and groups become competent in resolving their own conflict and develop shared principles for guiding CBCR. • Are positively centered: Instead of limiting intervention to “problem-solving” and “satisfying interests”, CBCR creates opportunities for people to “heal their relations” through collaborative activities that transform interactions and reframe issues constructively. Training, for example, is a positively-centered activity.

• Are inclusive and barrier free: Resources are allocated so that information is shared equally, and concerned community members are able to participate fully in the decisions that affect their lives • Are vision-based: the goal of CBCR is to develop common purpose through shared activities. Community members are empowered to structure processes that benefit communities and their members in the long-term as well as the short-term.

• Are timely and sustainable: CBCR responds quickly to the needs of the individuals and groups involved.

• Recognize the complexity of conflict: CBCR unmasks the multiple layers of conflict, and addresses the roots of conflict; whether between individuals or groups, and from initial tensions to all-out-war, communities develop strategies to change the culture of conflict to one of peace so that they can heal and grow.

Developing a healthy community is like an orchestra making music. The harmony comes from working together towards a common goal.

The Canadian Institute for Conflict Resolution delivers its CBCR training (titled Third Party Neutral (TPN) several times each year.

The next course in English is Dec. 5 – 9, 2011 and in French is January 23-27, 2012.

Supercharge Your Immune System

D

Essential oils (derived from herbs), citrus fruit peel, and many other plants, can also send unwanted bugs packing.

Essential oils have many desirable qualities, including antibacterial, antiviral, and/or antimicrobial properties. Tea tree is well known to help disinfect, but there are many others who contribute including thyme, lemon, lavender, marjoram, and oregano.

Using them will help keep your environment cleaner and lessen the chance of infection.

These oils are so versatile you can add them to many aspects of your everyday routine.

Liquid soaps will be more powerful with the addition of essential oils. Wipe down bathroom ceramics with a combination of these oils during cleaning. Diffuse the oils in the air with a diffuser, or simply simmer in a pot of water on the stove.

A personal favourite for flu-like symptoms is ravensara. Ravensara hydrosol (i.e. floral water) can be safely added to a bedroom humidifier to help lessen the effects of colds and flu. Or try a foot soak. Aromatherapists have documented that peppermint essential oil applied to the soles of the feet can be detected on the breath some minutes later.

Imagine how effective this technique would be for getting the antibacterial properties of oils into your body! To make a foot soak, put 15 drops of essential oil in 5 ml of carrier oil (e.g. olive, almond, etc.). Add to warm water (and maybe some Epsom salts) and soak away!

o you have a cold, or see evidence of pesky little viral invaders swarming amongst your friends, family members, and colleagues? If not, it is an unfortunate reality you might well soon. Regrettably for our poor little nasal passages, colds—with their characteristic symptoms of sore throat, cough, runny nose, impaired respiration, and overall malaise—are more common in the fall and winter than at any other time of year because the cooler, wetter weather drives people inside, where viruses can more easily jump from person to person.

Want to minimize your odds of getting sidelined by a cold or two this season? There are numerous proactive steps that you can take to support your immune system and improve your odds of enjoying a sickness-free season. Some of these steps include: • Enjoying a healthy, balanced diet—In order to keep our immune systems functioning optimally, we need to support them with a rich supply of nutrients, with an emphasis on Vitamin A (cod liver oil, carrots, squash, etc.), Vitamin C (camu camu berries, red peppers, citrus fruit, etc.), Vitamin D (sunlight, wild salmon, shrimp, etc.), zinc (beef, lamb, pumpkin seeds, etc.), and selenium (Brazil nuts, wild salmon, turkey, etc.). ©Heather Garrod and Kristin Shropshire, MS. Heather is a certified • Minimizing sugar intake—According to Kenneth Bock, aromatherapist, offering Do It Yourself body care workshops.

Infrared Sauna Heals Skin Troubles Leah Turner feels like she was condemned to a life of troubled skin from birth.

“I was only six months old when the eczema started,” says the Ontario school teacher.

Her parents took her off dairy products but that only brought partial relief.

“By the time I was ten I had lost all the skin on the back of my thighs,” she remembers.

When she became pregnant with her first child in her twenties the eczema and psoriasis grew worse than ever.

Ninety percent of her body was covered with red, dry, itching and burning skin. It hurt to wear clothes.

“My joints were swollen and cracked.

I had to carry my daughter with my arms extended. Part of my face was literally falling off. There’s no pretty way to describe it,” she says.

It became so bad she thought her only option was to go on disability instead of returning to her classroom. But then someone finally threw her a lifeline. A friend recommended she try an infrared sauna.

Naturopaths have long been recommending sauna detoxification as a natural way of managing psoriasis.

Toxins we consume through our food and water are encouraged out of the body through sweat instead of buildingup in the skin. Within a few sessions Leah noticed relief.

November 2011

“We drove right up to Collingwood and bought one directly from the SaunaRay factory and I started using it every day.

I honestly couldn’t believe it. In three weeks I was so much better that I could teach again at the start of school.”

A wide range of skin conditions respond to sauna therapy.

Often relief comes quickly once the skin is given a chance to detoxify in regular sweat sessions in an infrared sauna.

“Now I have clear smooth skin on most my body. My friends don’t recognize me!”

Jen’s Zen - Soulful Solutions With Jennifer Clark Intuitive counsellor Jennifer Clark offers her en-light-ening and inspiring soulful solutions to life’s challenges.

Q: I thought I’d write in and see if you can help me out.

Lately, I’ve been feeling really anxious and out of sorts. I can’t seem to find a sense of well-being anymore. John in Gatineau, QC. A: Dear John, well you are not alone. Many people like are finding it hard to sleep, and feeling an overall sense of anxiousness. Now, each individual case should be looked at by a qualified health professional however on an energetic level, we just passed October 28th which was the official end of the Mayan calendar which is bringing a lot more higher vibration frequencies in from the Great Central Sun. To you, that might be feeling jittery, anxious and expectant.

We are also approaching a Mercury retrograde period in mid November. When the planet Mercury goes retrograde, communications get mixed up and anxiety levels can increase. I like reading the astrological forecasts of Susan Miller – www.astrologyzone.com Again, the universe is smarter than we are, so these are opportunities for us to become clear on who we are, what we do, how we do it and who we do it with. Unfortunately, this combination for some reason has caused a lot of people to feel unbalanced and overly emotional. I suggest taking regular Epsom salt baths (at least 2 cups and soak in a warm/hot tub for at least 20 minutes and put an ice pack on your head once a week). Also, every day in some way connecting to Mother Earth would be smart too – imagine your feet become roots of a tree wrapping them around the centre of the Earth and breathe deeply in an out feeling that energetic connection in

your body. Imagine purple fire healing energy (the Violet Flame) moving up your feet and balancing all of your major and minor chakras. Make sure you visualize clearing your Earth star located approximately 4 feet below you and your Soul star which is 4 feet above you. These are your connections to Earth and Heaven. Do this exercise every morning before you start your day. I do it for 15 minutes every morning. This alone will greatly help.

Sri Chinmoy Answers Question: What can a person do if he is losing hope?

SRI CHINMOY: First of all, I wish to tell you why a person loses hope. Someone loses hope because he makes himself feel that there is a certain period, a given time, in which he has to achieve or get something. Outwardly, we may say that in the near future we hope to get or do something. But this is not entirely true. If we go deep within, we will see that our minds have already set a particular time limit. When the date arrives, our outer mind may not know that this was the deadline fixed on our inner mind’s calendar.

But on that day, if we have not achieved or received the hoped-for result, we feel our whole world has collapsed and we are miserable.

What can we do to regain hope? First, we have to know that real hope is not something weak. Very often we think of hope as something very delicate—a sweet, smooth, soothing feeling with no reality in it. But this is not an adequate definition of hope. We have to know that hope is something very solid, very strong. Hope is not something that is crying for the world beyond or crying for a truth which does not exist. No, hope has seen the truth, only it is unable to bring the truth into the world.

How can we avoid losing hope? We must try to cast aside all expectations from our desiring mind. It is our outer mind which feels that it needs something or wants something. When we feel that we need something, hope begins to play its part. It is the desiring mind that feeds our outer hope. If we can be above the desiring mind and remain all the time in the spontaneity of the heart, then we will have a constant feeling of possessing the divine truth. Our inner heart is always full and complete, requiring nothing. When we need nothing, hope does not enter into the picture, for it is not at all necessary.

This is divine hope that I am talking about. Divine hope is very different from human hope. According to our human eyes the fulfilment of hope is success. But the fulfilment of God’s Will goes far beyond so-called failure or success, and this is what is of paramount importance. Divine fulfilment is always beyond outer results.

Ordinary human hope can rarely be fulfilled because inside it there is no determination, no sincerity, no conscious willingness to accept the highest Truth. But divine hope is something that has seen the truth which we are ultimately going to achieve. If we know what divine hope is, then we will get strength from the certainty that it offers us. Hope has not yet been able to bring the truth to the fore in our lives, but one day it shall.

The 5Rhythms Returned My Body!

A

bout 12 years ago, I realized that there was something not really working with my life. I could sense it but was not quite sure. I went on a two-year trip to Asia thinking that I needed to see the world but what I most needed, was to see myself. I did not know who I was, what motivated me or how the “self” was created. After my first mediation retreat in Thailand, I discovered that I was a prisoner of my patterns. I could see this but was not sure what to do. This “I” was leading me down the same old unwholesome road. Without a teacher, without guidance, I proceeded to meditate for longer and longer periods. Not the best decision for a rookie meditator. After these prolonged meditation sessions, I discovered that I did not want a body. It seemed to be a burden. We have to feed it, clothe it, keep it in shape, monitor it, massage it...Well this list could go on. By meditating, I could forget I had body. In a couple of years I had become completely detached from the body. I could stick a needle in my foot and not feel it. I had managed to do what I had done most of my life….numb myself. By successfully numbing ourselves, we also end up experiencing very little joy. It is easy for us to use such useful tools like meditation, to misguide us on the path to liberation. As the meditation deepened, I had the profound insight that my journey took a wrong turn somewhere. I don’t have a body, I am the body! It is a wrong view to believe the separation of mind and body. After visiting a shaman in Toronto, he asked me if I liked to dance. I said yes and he sent me to my first 5Rhythms movement class. After a two-hour class I felt physically alive!

I could feel my feet, my belly, the lightness of my elbows. I felt the power of movement and music. I went to every class for two years and felt a profound transformation. I found myself anticipating every class. What was I chasing? Joy, bliss clarity and non-cling awareness. Why could this divine state not be maintained for very long during the week? I had not cultivated wisdom to go with the bliss. Our wisdom must be greater than our bliss. This is when we use our joy to do positive things for others.

It is not enough to say lets love each other and get along and be present. We must examine what knocks us back into old patterns. In this upcoming workshop, Awakened Movement, we begin to wake up to our life once we understand how we are blown about by the 8 Worldly Winds -- Praise and Blame; Loss and Gain; Shame and Fame; Pleasure and Pain. Only then can we move in life with clarity, joy and awareness.

The Spirit of Sedona - Part II

by Darlene Plouffe

T

here’s something incredibly magical about Sedona…

I felt it at the very first sight of those red rock formations. Silently, I caught my breath in unanticipated awe. Pictures don’t even begin to do it justice.

I had taken a shuttle bus from the Phoenix airport, the 2 1/2 hour drive becoming a fascinating history lesson in the rich geology of the area. As we neared Sedona however, I found myself barely able to focus on the words as I soaked it all in visually. By now the stunning red rocks surrounded us majestically, and my awe turned into reverence.

As we drove into the small city I immediately noticed that the buildings all had a distinctive south-western look and were all very earthy in colour. This apparently is not by accident… the city enacts a number of ordinances designed to ensure that the colours of the buildings blend in with the surrounding landscape. Colour schemes of properties have to be approved by the city and as a result, Sedona is the only place in the world where the McDonald’s has turquoise arches instead of yellow!

The next thing I noticed was that it seemed like every second building was a new age or metaphysical store. Everywhere I looked I saw signs with words like ‘psychic readings’, ‘aura’, ‘tarot’, ‘crystals’, ‘healing’, and ‘vortex’. Sedona has long been known as a spiritual power center. It is surrounded by vortex sites – areas of highly concentrated energy flow from the earth where one can feel Sedona’s spiritual energy the most intensely.

From the moment I arrived, I could feel this subtle energy everywhere… in the air, the water, even the food.

On my second day in Sedona I joined a tour with Rahelio, a Native American shaman, who took us to three different vortex sites. Our first stop was a spot where three tiny waterfalls merged into Oak Creek. We situated ourselves directly across from the center one, and as I sat on the red rocks and soaked in the beauty and serenity all around me I suddenly felt the unmistakeable sensation of energy flowing through me. It was coming from the ground beneath me and spreading up throughout my entire body. This lasted for several minutes… I was receiving an attunement from the Earth herself!

Our next stop was a breathtaking panoramic view, and we simply enjoyed the peaceful solitude from a very private vantage point as Rahelio pointed out sacred site locations and told us the Native American history behind them.

At our final vortex stop for the day, Rahelio had us lie on the red rocks as he guided us into a meditative state with his flute and chanting. He drummed right above and on our bodies, beating in rhythm to the heartbeat of the Earth. It vibrated through every cell of my Being, down into the Earth and back up again. It was truly indescribable, and I recommend it to anyone who has the opportunity to go there. Our journey ended with warm, genuine hugs atop the mountain.. an experience shared, not soon to be forgotten.

Every person I met in Sedona and along the way, both visitors and locals, seemed to emanate the same beautiful, peaceful energy. Everyone, perhaps, except the Antelope Canyon guide I met two days later. But that story is for next time.

How I Learned to Channel / Communicate with Spirit

by Lisa Virtue

M

y formal introduction to channelling came when I was hired to do video editing work on some Abraham-Hicks DVDs. Never having heard of them before, I look back now and feel blessed and honoured to have been immersed in their message for days on end. It was transformative, started me down the path of self-healing and opened me to a whole new world.

A short time later I had to choose between going to a live Abraham event in the US, or a producing / directing professional development workshop in Ottawa. It was a hard choice until I felt the strong urging of my little voice inside. I went to the Ottawa event.

Much to my surprise, I met a channeller, Alain JeanBaptiste, at the event. We became friends immediately and I now had my very own version of Abraham locally. Way to go little voice.

I loved listening to “The Council” as Alain channelled them. More, I loved the positive feeling that came over me from their presence. Soon I was desperately wishing to do it myself. As I’m sure you’ve all experienced, desperation only serves to push away that which you want.

I took Alain’s course on intuition, opening to that ability.

But I didn’t practice, and instead found myself wallowing in wanting all sorts of abilities that others seemed to just be born with or had acquired after a near death experience.

Time passed and I let go of the desperation as I occupied myself with work.

One day, sitting in my office with nothing to do, I looked around. There was no one. No one to see me, hear me, make fun of me, or think I’m weird if I did anything strange or silly. In that moment I decided to try channelling. I closed my eyes and opened my mind. Lo and behold, I got a connection. More specifically, what I got was a conversation. It wasn’t channelling the way Alain did it, where only his body is present, and he doesn’t know what happens while he’s “away”. I was perceiving in my mind the presence of someone, what they looked like, and information about who they were. Then they started talking to me. It sounded like the voice in my head when I talk to myself or think. I had to tell myself, why would you make this up? It didn’t feel like the creative process of writing a book or movie, so I went with it.

Quickly I realized that I needed to record these conversations, so started writing them out. My pen wouldn’t move fast enough. The flow would be interrupted as I raced to scribble it all down. I moved on to typing - still clunky as I listened for a bit, then typed madly, trying not to forget each word. That’s when I remembered I can touch type – no need to look at the keys. So I closed my eyes and started taking dictation, typing as I listened. This works well, and is the method I currently use. However, at the time, it still didn’t seem fast enough.

By this point, I’d met my spirit guides. And when no one was around I set my computer to video record and tried channelling them. This time, instead of typing, I spoke what I heard. Then I was able to go further and let them speak through me. I stayed present, because I didn’t want to miss anything. It felt like I was relaxing in the back of my mind, listening to what they said. They seemed to have fun with the whole experience, each taking a turn to speak. My voice and rhythm changed with each one.

I only did this a couple of times before several people warned me of the dangers. I was very new to everything and didn’t know how to protect myself from the not-so-nice entities out there, when in such a vulnerable position. So I went back to typing, remaining in full control.

What’s an article about clutter doing in a spiritual magazine?

C

lutter is not good Feng Shui!!! The new TV program Consumed shows the effect clutter has on peoples lives.

The attachment and struggle they have letting go of excess stuff and the impact once they’ve purged their belongings how their lives improve and relationships heal.

I was a clutterholic and well know the feeling of overwhelm that this entails but I’m also acquainted with the fabulous feeling of release and freedom that comes with letting the excess go. It’s like a ton weight lifted off your shoulders. In reality you don’t own your stuff, it owns you.

You care for it, work for it and it consumes your energy and time.

Your surroundings have a big impact on the quality of your life. Do you feel overwhelmed, embarrassed and heavy when you come home or do you feel relief. Is it a haven or a place you want to escape. Do you welcome people into your home or do you feel shame at the thought of people coming. Shame and unworthiness are emotions that keep you stuck and unable to move forward.

My definition of clutter is anything that is broken or unfinished, that you don’t like or that you don’t use. Clutter is not just the stuff lying around. It’s on your computer, in your bookcase, in your closets and under your bed. It encompasses unresolved emotions or unhealthy relationships as well.

Dealing with clutter is not an easy thing to do. As you gift yourself with purging excess belongings lots of hidden emotions are pushed to the surface. Unhealthy attachments, fears, childhood wounds, and an overpowering need for control are some that can come up. It’s the overwhelming emotions that cause people to give up more than the lack of time. We avoid anything painful. Not dealing with our hurts and feelings are also a cause of our clutter. How many times do you go shopping when you feel low or angry and buy stuff you didn’t know you needed.

When I work with a client the words “It can go, I don’t need it and No, I don’t want it” are music to my ears. The work goes quickly and relatively painlessly. Conversely when I hear “I need that” to almost everything including

Feng Shui Decluttering Organizing and Cleaning Services empty bags and margarine containers then I know the client is not ready to take the step of letting stuff go. Keep the big picture in mind - a house that no longer shames you, that is easy to live in and really is your haven and sanctuary.

Be aware of the cost in time or dollars and make quick decisions. Let it go, let it go, let it go.

So here’s my advice: Set a goal, a regular time and keep at it. Slow and steady works better than trying to do a marathon. Start in one area (don’t bounce all over the place) and rough sort belongings into the following - recycling, give away, put away, garbage. Also rough sort piles of like items, magazines, financial papers, toys, crafts, etc. Right now you just want a quick sort. Fine tuning comes later.

There is a principle called The Pareto Principle. Translated you use 20% of your stuff 80% of the time. Keep that in mind.

With every item you pick up ask yourself “Do I use it or like it? Then ask “Does this make me feel light or does it make me feel heavy?” If you feel heavy ask “Does this feeling belong to me?” Your body will answer. Just listen.

It may take some practice but it will come. We are not used to listening to our body. If it makes you feel heavy let it go.

Or if the feeling isn’t yours say “return to sender” We often hang onto things because we think we should, we might need it, our grandmother valued it, we’ll fit into it someday or the kids might need it for a project. If you find yourself overwhelmed find someone to help or hire a professional.

Clear Your Clutter With Feng Shui by Karen Kingston is a fabulous book that goes into many of the reasons we accumulate and the reasons to eliminate.

Mosquito Bites and Reiki

by Alexis Nicol

T

here was a summer, a number of years ago, that brought hoards of mosquitoes to Orleans. It was during this summer that I was given another opportunity to play with Reiki.

When my son was a teenager he and his friends would often hang out in the park. On one particular evening, they returned to the house much earlier than usual. It was a beautiful clear night with a full moon and no breeze.

Normally, this would be a perfect evening for a stroll, but during that summer only the brave could be found outdoors.

She told me that the Reiki was awesome and would love The wet spring earlier followed by warm weather had to have it again. created ideal conditions for the breeding of millions, if not This experience taught me that no matter how small the billions of starving mosquitoes. We were being invaded situation may appear to be, it is an opportunity for Reiki and overrun by these pesky, blood-thirsty mosquitoes!! healing. Now, whenever I get a mosquito bite, I give You had to make sure you were covered with repellent myself a little Reiki. or moved quickly. It was quite the battle and they were winning indeed. The dog walkers were practically running Alexis believes in a Wholistic approach to their usual routes and the socializing was kept to a brief “Hi” healing mind, body and soul. She combines and “See you later!”

Reiki, Reflexology, Reconnective Healing®, the Almost no one had been spared from these brazen little Reconnection® and A Course In Miracles in her brutes. It was not surprising when my son and his friends practice. came in moaning about being eaten alive. One of the girls www.firstlighthealing.com 613-263-7925 was complaining more than the rest. At first, I thought she was a bit of a whiner, but then my son said, “No mom, really, take a look at her feet, you won’t believe all the mosquito bites she has.”

I thought, OK, I’ll humour them, but when I looked down at her feet, I was indeed surprised. Her feet were absolutely covered with large red welts.

I’d never seen such a terrible reaction to bites before.

There must have been at least 30 bites on each foot.

The poor girl!

My son suggested that I give her some Reiki. Of course when it comes to Reiki, any excuse for me to use it is exciting and it’s a great opportunity to show people what it is like. I never know what to expect, but I always know it does good.

The young lady was a little apprehensive at first, but relented and said she’d give it a try.

As I placed my hands on her itchy, red, blotched feet, I immediately felt the heat and energy flowing * SPIRITUAL HEALING * ENERGY MEDICINE & WORK * strongly through them. She never complained ADVANCED JOURNEYING & JOURNEY WORK * ADVANCED when the intensity of the itch increased.

How To Have Happy Holidays Patricia Wall ©Take the Lid Off Inc

W

hat does Christmas mean to you? Whether your vacation days are for celebrating the season, or convenient statutory holidays that don’t match your religious affiliations, you have associations with the holiday season.

You might have positive or negative associations with family events, parties, working long hours, or days off. You could have expectations of overspending and looming bills, or anticipate a shower of gifts. To discover the influence of your subconscious on your ability to feel joy in the holiday season, consider the emotions you experienced at Christmas when you were a young child. What was Christmas like for you at age 5?

Age 8? Age 15?

Your subconscious operates by recreating patterns of emotions. It can be challenging to identify the influence of patterns, because it’s easier to see the situation, rather than the emotional dynamic. A five year old might be bursting with excitement and frustration as they wait for their parents to wake up on Christmas morning. An adult might organize a gift exchange with a loved one a few days late because of a work schedule. One is the child subject to the parent’s indulgence; the other is an adult’s practicality.

The practical adult seems very different than the impatient child. That’s because adults who have learned to be practical squash their emotions, and are unlikely to admit they’re frustrated that a work schedule interferes with their holiday fun. Even if they realize they would prefer to have their presents Christmas Day, they’re likely to suppress the reaction because they ‘know better.’ That makes it harder to realize that you have exactly the same set of emotions occurring: frustration, excitement, and having to wait for an expected pleasure.

It’s even harder to realize that the influence of these childhood patterns will manifest the situation that requires you to wait.

Try another example. Imagine the emotions of a child who grew up dreading the effects of alcohol in their household; Christmas might be a particularly hard time.

What did the child feel if the drunken parent became abusive? As an adult, those patterns play out even if the situation is totally different. The adult may be a teetotaller, and find their children afraid because of a bully at school.

(The child has their own reasons for the existence of the bully.)

What emotions did the child of an alcoholic feel if their parent was a happy but irresponsible drunk, certain to disappoint in the Santa role? That child was accustomed to mixed hope and dread, followed by disappointment. The pattern could manifest in romances that start out looking wonderful, and end in a mess. The situation may be totally different; it is the set of emotions that is recreated.

Negative associations from childhood interfere with your ability to have a fabulous holiday. You can give yourself the gift of removing associations, to allow more joy in your Joyeux Noël.

Here are 2 options for tapping your capacity for holiday fun. You can use the Unlock meditation, from the Living Your Light CD at Osloda.com or you can use an Intention Ball of Light: Sit quietly and focus on your breath. Imagine forming a solid ball of bright white light spinning through you and around you. Imagine you can use your intention to focus the light to tune your body and your energy. You can use these intentions, or form your own: I am safe having a fabulous holiday.

I am safe having a new, joyful experience of Christmas.

Allow the light to spin through you until you feel done.

Allow the light to spin a little longer for detox, to release anything that needs to go. Release the light. This type of meditation is most effective done for only a minute at a time.

Detoxification:

Where Do Toxins Come From?

Our Bodies - Our bodies produce toxins naturally as a by-product of natural processes. Normally, we are well equipped to deal with these as many are excreted through our body’s elimination processes. Some toxins are stored in fat and our joints making them more difficult to process. These tend to “build up” and prohibit our natural ability to detox. While it is impossible to eliminate exposure to toxins, you can reduce the load and prevent build up in the body. Becoming educated about what and where you are exposed to toxins is the first step. The act of detoxification can then optimize the body to help it fight disease and heal.

Toxins - A toxin is a poisonous substance produced by living cells or organisms that is active at very low concentrations. Toxins can be small molecules, peptides, or proteins and are capable of causing disease on contact or absorption with body tissues by interacting with biological macromolecules such as enzymes or cellular receptors. Toxins vary greatly in their severity, ranging from usually minor and acute (as in a bee sting) to almost immediately deadly (as in botulinum toxin).

Food - There are major concerns over the 3000 + chemicals which are used and found in our processed and packaged foods today. Many of them are classified as additives; others are leaked into food from agricultural practices, manufacturing processes and equipment, packaging and even the cooking utensils we use.

Environment - We have known about toxins invading our living spaces for years. Pollution, toxic buildings, chemicals in the home, allergens in the air are all impacting our ability to live well. It just doesn’t stop and it won’t as long as the majority of the human population continues to grow and demand convenient, fast paced and gadget-filled lifestyles.

Lifestyle - The fast paced, “got to have it all” lifestyle has a major impact on how and what we put into our bodies.

We are gobbling up a lot of processed, convenient foods filled with unhealthy additives. Our bodies are quickly becoming incapable of keeping up. Most detox programs work only with one area of the body such as the bowels, others may cleanse the liver or blood, and others may assist the kidneys or the skin. However, there are few programs that can effectively work to detoxify your entire body. The ionSpa detox foot bath is one of those few.

During an ionSpa detox foot bath session, large concentrations of negative hydrogen ions are released during the process of electrolysis. These ions are absorbed into the body by osmosis through the epidermis of the foot. Once entered into the system, these negatively charged ions act as an ultra high-powered antioxidant. Who hasn’t heard about the benefits of antioxidants today? To refresh your memory, an antioxidant is a compound which has a weak

attraction to one of its electrons. It readily surrenders an electron to a free radical which neutralizes it and ends the electron “stealing” reaction. The ion does not become a free radical by donating an electron because it is stable in either form. Once the free radical is neutralized, it can be removed from the body. Negative hydrogen ions act as “free radical hunters,” helping to prevent cell and tissue damage that could lead to cellular damage and disease. It also improves your immune system and any allergic reaction you may be suffering from.

This comfortable and very effective way of detox is now on special!
