About 20% of the 80 or so participants had previously experienced the highly beneficial results of Holotropic Breathwork, a practice in which the participants experience their deepest Self, their greatest gifts, and are opened up to nonordinary states of awareness.

In the purest form of Holotropic Breathwork the “breather” has only one task...to breath as deeply and fully as possible.

The “sitter” watches over each and every need of the breather: the setting, any interruptions, water, comfort, blankets, etc.

The several “walkers” or “sentinels” travel around the room ensuring that all diadic teams are comfortably and suitably protected and nurtured. The “sentinel’s” role is basically to act as a “guardian angel” to safe-guard the Sacred Space of the experiential diadic teams. Thus, the breathers have 2 layers of safety, Sacred care, and nurturing so that they can then go on Spiritual journeys hitherto blocked from their ordinary consciousness.

They are then free to follow their bliss!

Grief – Owning Your Perfection

By Vonne Solís, Angel Therapy Practitioner®

T

he fifth principle of Divine Healing teaches the importance of owning our perfection in order to fully heal. By perfection, the Divine suggest that we must always endeavour to become responsible for who we are at our core essence by accepting the unique journey we have chosen. This includes all painful experiences. We are reminded constantly of the power we have to heal as we choose to become inspired by our suffering, rather than succumb to it. The more we understand the nature of true power, the more powerfully we can connect to the perfection that is “us” in purest form.

Lessons from the fifth principle found in the last chapter of Divine Healing will help you better understand your role on the planet and connect you to your authentic power. This includes forgiving your parents to help you love and accept yourself, transforming all limiting beliefs, surrendering resistance to change, recognizing negative patterns holding you back, setting practical goals and action plans to cope with various stages of grief, working with the angels to get what you want, releasing attachment to the ego, understanding and learning to optimize the six strategies for healing , understanding your body as energy, defining your relationship to material wants, and finally, empowering yourself as a griever.

While this may sound somewhat arduous, mastering these lessons will guarantee you the richness of rewards that living life on your own terms brings, despite any difficulty.

It takes courage to trust those experiences that brought you to your suffering. However, no matter what you have chosen up to this point; know that you do have the power to now act differently. Many people cruise through life on autopilot, disconnected to the thoughts and emotions driving them to behave in certain ways.

Limiting behaviour can only bring them one experience after another of the same thing they are struggling to release. Fear of what they may find keeps many people from wanting to activate their inner power. It is often easier to believe that material goods and more money will fix all problems and fill the emptiness within.

It is important to understand that you attract everything to you through the energy you are. You generate mostly predictable results for your life from the predominant emotions and thoughts you have.

Through the process of surrender, you can learn to

accept yourself and embrace your perfection as an inherently powerful being, understanding your unique set of circumstances and genuine needs to live life more fully. Changing to please someone else will not bring you closer to finding your truth. You must make decisions that feel right for you from a place of deep love and respect for your chosen path. When you do tap into your perfection, you may even find that many of your desires are fulfilled through means different to what you thought, which makes for an exciting journey of discovery.

As a griever, being respectful and truthful about your loved one’s death will help you own your perfection, where you can express more fully who you were meant to be. Inviting others into your grief experience can validate your loss and help you feel less isolated. Never doubt that your suffering can be useful to help others connect to their perfection too.

Divine Healing is available at Chapters stores and online. The Power of Change is available on amazon. com and as an e-book through Apple iBooks . For angel readings, grief consultation, free meditation audios and events visit www.vonnesolis.com

Introduction to Vedic Astrology

V

edic astrology is the most prevalent style of astrology that has been practiced in the Indian subcontinent for thousands of years. It is just as popular today, as it was for thousands of years and people routinely consult astrologers for advice on all sorts of matters – including but not limited to Marriage, Financial investments, Health matters etc.

Vedic astrology has four main constituents – signs, houses, planets and planetary period. There are seven planets (Sun, Moon, Mars, Jupiter, Saturn, Mercury, Venus) and 2 virtual planets (Rahu and Ketu) and twelve houses containing astrological signs – Aries, Taurus, Gemini, Cancer, Leo, Virgo, Libra, Scorpio, Sagittarius, Capricorn, Aquarius and Pisces. Permutations and combinations of all these aspects can reveal amazing insights on our life situations.

Based on date of birth, place of birth and exact time of birth, a chart is made – which reveals the position of planets in the heavens at the time of birth. This chart is called ‘Natal Chart’. Natal Chart presents a snapshot of one’s life as it is expected. On subsequent visits to the astrologer, another chart is made, which contains the current position of the planets – called Transit chart. The natal chart and the transit chart are studied together to understand what kind of results can be expected in a given time period.

So, there is a possibility that the issues in this chart would revolve around younger brothers/sisters, mother, their health and vitality in this time period.

Due to the inherent weakness of several planets in this chart, including that of the Sun, it may be that there are conditions of stress around above mentioned issues.

One of the main aspects of the Vedic astrology is the remedial measures. Astrological remedies are performed to ward off difficulties in one’s life currently occurring or foreseen. Remedial measures can reduce the intensity of the difficulties or completely dissolve them – depending upon the strength of the complications in one’s chart.

Aryev is a homeopath, trained life and executive coach and Indian Vedic astrologer. He works with people to enhance their life experience. He has practiced yoga and meditation for over 20 years and taught yoga, meditation and lifestyle classes at Carleton University, IBM/Cognos, as well as several public and private gyms.

Aryev started treating people using homeopathy; however, he observed that although their physical and mental health was getting much better, their lives were not necessarily improving. They still had similar jobs, similar money situations, and similar types of relationship dynamics, similar habits and ways of being.

Aryev decided to leverage astrology services and design a coaching program to change that. He now coaches clients and uses vedic astrological remedies to help people advance in their careers, have better finanical situations, better health and improved relationships.

Spiritual Fence-sitting is Not a Balancing Act

by Amâeil (Melinda Urban RIHR) Healing with Divine Heart to Awaken the Deep Truth Within

D

o you feel like your fence-sitting? You don’t align with the polarity of darkness, and you do actively align with Light, but still it may seem as though you are not whole-heartedly choosing your God-self to lead you in your living. So you straddle between letting ego take charge, and consciously aligning with Light. For the most part, it feels as though you are ascending, but it can also feel like a struggle when the ego’s limiting patterns try to drag you into descending energies. The good news is that these polarizing energies have peaked on our planet, and so within, creating an unprecedented, foundational, freeing change in time and space.

Fence sitting between ego and Spirit is neither neutrality nor sacred, inner balance. It’s a safety net.

If you tell yourself that by not aligning with darkness you are infinite consciousness, and by aligning with Light you deny your shadow, your mind is playing a game. It’s an illusion. In my experience, the exploration of fence-sitting reveals the fears that stop you from choosing to fully know yourself as consciousness.

If you’re fence-sitting, to become aware of it can be incredibly liberating. For example, my client Holly had insomnia for 4.5 years. I was guided that she was restless because she was not living on purpose. Holly realized she was not choosing the fullness of her life and was fence-sitting. We uncovered a common, false fear; if she allowed herself to own her multi-dimensional awareness this would overwhelm her, and she would end up alone, separate from her current family, which was a similar choice she had to make in a previous timeline. Therefore, she continued to participate in her ineffective, current family dynamics; she deemed herself not enough and continued to deny her own values, power, and needs. This seemed to keep things balanced without disrupting what she enjoyed. In truth, the healing wasn’t to just bring Light to her shadow and help her get off the fence, but to help her choose to make a commitment to her infinite wholeness and see that there is no fence; a rather profound step into another trajectory. (Holly has since been sleeping peacefully - see www.MelindaUrban.com for the complete case study).

The disharmony between the higher and lower frequencies you hold within are now becoming more evident, and creating opportunity for change, or pressure, depending on your view.

As a whole, the cumulative frequency shifts on our planet have created such amplification between higher and lower energies that they are now diverging, with each path moving on its own course of probability.

Geographic areas of chaos, negativity, and violence will likely continue to spiral downward into energy compaction, while areas of higher frequency will increase in expansion and feel lighter, be heart-centered and thrive. However, land masses can always be upgraded through sacred intention.

The same is true within each person, and therefore, you hold the key to what you contribute and with whom you find resonance. Your ability to choose is your power. If you are not taking responsibility for your negative ego, you will likely experience intensified pressure to change; no more fence-sitting. If you are committed to your ascension and holding higher frequencies, you may experience that aspects of your life no longer in resonance may become more obvious and even split away. Simple witnessing of any ego issue may be sufficient to release them.

Regardless of how your ego perceives this ascension phase, remember that your truth lies far outside of any fence.

(Not) Fearing the Spider

“We think we live in the world, but we live in our minds.”

Jack Elias y sister used to suffer from arachnophobia, the fear of spiders. She has since gotten this fear under control through patience and gradually confronting her irrational fear.

During her childhood she had such a deep fear of spiders that some of us would sometimes walk in the room she was in and yell, “Spider!” She would shriek, stop short of levitating and leave the room in a hurry!

Looking back I feel sorry for her, as we were 10 children, who would take turns in playing this game with her. But mainly my older brother was pretty fond of this game.

M

If you are wondering, she did turn out well despite it.

Ah, the joy of family life. The very thought of being in a room with a spider would engender deep mental and physiological reactions in her; whether she saw a spider or not. If we stop to reflect on this, it is pretty remarkable that a simple thought can generate such reactions.

The so-called objective reality is always processed through our mental filters and gives rise to our reality.

We live in our own internal representations, which are actual reproductions of the events themselves.

Indeed we contact, touch and experience internal representations of events, not the actual happenings.

In our mind is an amazing stage, our internal theater; everything takes place there. Within our mind we have props or building blocks that are based on memories or ideas, which we usually keep reinforcing them within our own mind. We have been manipulating these props all along, but during a hypnosis session we can use suggestions to help us change our reality. Suggestions are nothing more than an invitation to reorganize the structure or organization of your props. Through hypnosis we recognize that we are literally moving internal perspectives, very much like moving blocks around.

Have you ever wondered how your internal mechanism of sight, sound, taste, touch, feeling, relationships and points of view function? And how they vary for all of us to various degrees?

We carry solidified notions that make up our reality, but those notions can be dimmed, enhanced or relocated from the forefront to the back of our mind. So my sister in her own way has trained herself to view spiders as smaller. She is even able to catch them now and she will put them outside, as she doesn’t like to kill them. After all she says, they do eat mosquitoes. She has shifted her perspective on life. Through the gentle experience of hypnosis you can change your perspective and enhance your life in ways that are beneficial to you. For more information you can call me or visit our web site.

SWEET

Rev. Sherry Harris, MSW, RSW, Cert. Spiritual Counsellor, Teacher, Coach

I

can’t seem to get this word out of my mind. A sweetness of life has come to reside in me that brings more and more sweetness to me by the minute. It is such a simple word; so precious. I see sweetness everywhere I look. The more I focus on sweetness, the more sweetness shows up. I know this applies to everything.

What I focus on returns to me. To me sweetness is all wrapped up in beauty, love, gratitude and joy. There is a innocence that resides within the experiencing of sweetness as if I am seeing everything for the first time..... the first sunset, the first flower, the first smile.

Everything seems so new and so fresh. I am in love with sweetness. I am in love with beauty. I see it in every face I see, feel it in every breath, hear it in sound or silence.

It is everywhere this sweetness and it is just waiting to express itself and be welcomed in.

See beauty in unexpected places --Mary Anne Radmacher Anyone who keeps the ability to see beauty never grows old ---Franz Kafka I remember years ago when the teenagers used to say “Sweeeeet!” Something really good was sweeeeet. This expression eventually became replaced with “bad” then “sick”. Something really cool now is sick. The lovely word sweet was swept away by less appealing words.

There is a lot of energy in a word. Beautiful words, have beautiful sounds, have beautiful energy that resonate with the bountiful loving energy of the heart. Chose your words carefully. Just as we are advised to surround ourselves with good energy in terms of friends, home, entertainment and food, so too is it important to use high energy, loving words like sweet and beauty. If you want sweetness in your life use the word sweet more and more and see how the sweetness is reflected back to you. So also with love, grace, peace, joy, harmony.

Practice using these and many other powerful and divine words and see how your life changes.

While you are increasing the use of powerful loving words, become mindful of all the words you use. Be as positive in your speech as you can be. Beware of words like hatred, violence, abuse, disgust, etc. These words carry a very unpleasant and negative energy and it is not what you want to surround yourself with. If you actively hate someone, that energy is very harmful to your heart/love vibration. I do not wish for you to deny the feeling, rather to work on bringing it to a less destructive vibration, one that will not damage your body. Dislike is less harmful to you than hatred. As you all know, the body hears every word you use. The body responds to every word you use and every thought you think. Good health requires good input from you in all ways, food, air, water, and most of all positive thoughts which lead to healing energy in the body.

Abundant Life Coach Spiritual Counsellor Psychotherapist 2belight1@gmail.com www. sherryharriscounselling.com 613-236-8852 Insurance Receipts Available We are not separate from anything, we are all part of the one substance, you may call it God or Source, it does not matter. Within the one substance is everything imaginable from what we would call negative or bad to the very highest vibration. It is all One and it is all Love. Good, bad it is all love as that is the energy of the one Source. Within that Source is all. Choose what you would like to align with. The energy of love, enthusiasm, gratitude is a more healing vibration than the energy of doubt, anger, conflict, envy, for example.

So also with the words that express those feelings. Use loving words to inspire the action to infill your field with love. Use light filled words, the words love and gratitude wherever, whenever you can. Watch how your life changes. Use the words hate and anger and see how your life changes. When you use these words, hate and anger will continually show up for you reflecting back to you what you are putting out there. The divine universe loving gives back to you what you put out.

If you want grace, ease, joy and love in your life, and who doesn’t, do you think that will come to you by putting out a negative energy, using negative words?

Absolutely not. You are a very powerful creator. Choose your words and thoughts carefully.

Use beautiful words; swear words will not raise your vibration. Gossip will not raise your vibration. You are in charge. No one else can tell you what you must say or how you must speak. Do yourself a favour and start listening to yourself and how you speak. Monitor your thoughts. Are they negative or positive most of the time? Do you see the world as beautiful, kind, sweet or as a chaotic, conflict filled mess? Your choice. Your thoughts. Your words. Choose wisely. Sweet!

Some Animals Eat Their Young Patricia Wall ©Take the Lid Off Inc

S

ome animals eat their young - some days this sounds like wisdom. Kids can drive you crazy better than anyone or anything else in your life. You have parents, so you already know that people you love can drive you crazy. But shouldn’t you like your own child?

Why? If this person was not your offspring, would you want to hang out with them? Really? Most people want to hang out with those who have similar interests. I’m not into video games. Sometimes we read the same books or watch the same movies and talk about that – and other days I am reminded why I don’t the repetitive noise that is often referred to as music.

The days that you feel great joy and fulfillment in being a parent are fuel to help you survive the days when the kids are maddening. When your two year old bounces all over your exhaustion it is hard to be interested in their small, fresh world. When your six year old wants company for doing homework it is hard to care about spelling, especially when you know about spell-check. When your ten year old experiments with sarcasm and humour – and isn’t funny - do you laugh or try to teach? When your teen vacillates between obnoxious and miserable do you scream or weep?

Tell me again why we had children?

The good days are easy, so how do you make it through the bad days?

With young kids start early creating safety zones.

Make a space in your home that is safe for your child.

Early on this can be their crib. When they escape the crib, kid-proof a room. Use this space so that you can go to the washroom in peace. Choose a piece of music that is different than naptime or nighttime so your child learns that this is a short play-alone interval. Children who are encouraged to play alone for reasonable intervals learn to entertain themselves and become creative.

When your children don’t need supervision for safety, it’s time to choose quality over quantity for your time together. Like the one-minute manager, check in frequently to know what’s going on with your kids, but don’t try to live in their life. Live your own life so that you’ll enjoy the time you spend with them instead of feeling you’re losing yourself. When you schedule youtime you’re teaching your kids to avoid being a sacrifice and avoid codependent relationships. That means you

can enjoy the time you spend with your kids because you’re not exhausted, resentful, and guilty about the resentment. You’ll be much more fun to be with when you’re a person instead of an exhausted robot.

Do your children a favor: schedule quality time with them and me-time without them. Give yourself permission to value your time with them by allowing yourself to be a person. You’re going to be a lot more interesting to talk to when you have a life.

New Orthodontics Channeled Message of Hope The

By Dr. Paul Greenacre

H

ere is in brief a channelled message of the main events on planet earth over the next 5 years. It may seem we are in dark times, we are in times of the awakening we are currently 13 years into the awakening with still another 87 more years of the time of the awakening. Best is to stay out of the drama the best you can and focus on the beautiful changes that are occuring within us and in the way we live our lives globally.

Best thing you can do in these times is develop a time of silence and communion with higher self daily and learn to ask, follow, and listen for your own personal guidance in all areas of your life. There is much to be excited and hopeful for.

T

he New Orthodontics is a blend of three systems; the old Eurpean “Facial Growth” concepts and old American “Straight Teeth” concepts, combined with modern inventions and innovations in comprehensive treatment planning.

After 25 years of clinical experience and 7 years as an editor interviewing North America’s top dentist, I now see dentistry as an extension of Orthopaedic Medicine.

The three major dental joints are the two jaw joints and the tooth to tooth biting joint. The biting joint is made up of 28 teeth which are attached to the jaw joint which is attached to the 28 bone cranium.

Thus, Dentistry is made up of three major joint systems and 28 minor joint systems. Tooth decay and gum diseases are maladies that affect the minor “toothgum” joints. It is all joint medicine when look at it this way.

Orthodontic and TMJ problems are maladies of the three major joints, thus, all of Dentistry is a subsection of Orthopaedic Medicine.

Scandinavian Researchers first coined the phrase “Functional Jaw Orthopaedics” in 1927. It took a world war to export these ideas across the Atlantic and integrate this into a better treatment system using the best of European Appliance theory with the best of American tooth-braces theory. The debate still goes on.

Now we have to tell our patients and their physicians about the significance of oral health to total health.

In summary Orthodontics now has 3 major goals.

1. Improve both the upper and lower airways.

2. Correct misalignments of the jaws which will help correct neck misalignments.

3. Correct tooth crowding and create a beautiful smile.

The New Orthodontics The New Orthodontics combines the study of bones, muscles and teeth in action. It encompasses the following systems: 1. Orthopaedics (Skeletal- bones, joints and ligaments), 2. Orthotropics (Functional-10 functional systems), 3. Orthodontics (Teeth- straight and even-fitting teeth) The practice of Orthodontics deals with the functioning and positioning of your teeth, jaw joints and jaw bones. The health and comfort of all you do with your mouth, eating, drinking, talking, kissing, etc is dependent on properly functioning muscles that move the lower jaw backwards and forwards, left to right or make it open and close.

Orthodontics is much more than just straightening teeth. It is the subtle art of understanding the interaction of muscles, jaw joints, bones, cervical vertebrae, teeth, nerves, blood vessels and ligaments that all communicate and dynamically interact every time we use our jaws.

This complex cranial-mandibular system is beautiful to behold in its optimum form, as a full and radiant smile. However, the system can be sheer agony to endure if it is not functioning correctly (Painful clicking jaw joints, sore muscles, head and neck aches, eye or ear pain, sore throat, night grinding and snoring to name just a few of the symptoms that can result).

Dr. Greenacre explains, “The two jaw joints and the tooth joint form a dynamic triangle of three moving parts, like the triangle on a pool table. We dentists can rearrange this biological triangle in such a way as to position it “right-on-the-button,” so the lower eye teeth are ahead of the upper eye teeth.

In fact, jaw posture is critical to head posture which is the most important component of postural medicine.

Thus, working together with other members of the medical profession is very important.”

Dr Paul Greenacre DDS, FAACP. FAGD, FICOI

Laser Holistic Dentistry & Integrative Medicine 613 234-5758

www.medicaldentistry.ca Downtown and Alta Vista locations

Optimum Orthodontic Health The three points in the dynamic triangle of orthodontics involve three main joint systems: 1. The left jaw joint, 2. The right jaw joint, 3. The contacting teeth known as the dental bite These three joints connect together three major facial bones- the (upper jaw) the mandible (lower jaw), and the temporal bones (side of the head).

There are also seven major muscles which move the lower jaw in different directions, supported by ligaments that act like guide wires (See Diagram 1).

- The masseter(1) and the medical pterygoid (2) work together to form a sling around the jaw.

- The anterior temporalis (3), middle temporalis (4), and posterior temporalis (5) all attach to the temple like a fan.

- The lateral pterygoid (6) works the jaw joint.

- The digastric (7) assists in opening the mouth and swallowing.

These muscles all work together like puppeteers to power our jaw movements! They perform a delicate, coordinated an incredibly precise feat of natural function.

Dr. G’s Top Ten Functions of the Cranial-Mandibular (Head/Jaw) System: 1. Maintenance of the airway and breathing 2. Posturing of the head.

3. Facial expression, talking, singing and kissing.

4. Swallowing.

5. Clenching and night grinding, sneezing, coughing, snoring, yawning.

6. Breast-feeding.

7. Chewing food.

8. As a working tool (ex. Holding pins etc.).

9. Protection for the mouth’s soft tissues.

10. Influencing balance and hearing.

Transformation of Relationships

By Master Lynda Chaplin uman beings have all kinds of relationships. Some of our most important relationships are those with our spouse or partner, with other family members, with colleagues and coworkers, and with friends.

It is very difficult to find a person who has not struggled with a relationship at some time in life. Some people struggle their whole lives with relationships.

Some people can never seem to find a true love, going through one divorce or breakup after another. Some children are abused by their parents. Some parents can be abused by their children. Other people can be cheated by their business partners. Workplace relationships between boss and employees or between coworkers could be challenging. In society there could be challenges between organizations. Each of us is deeply affected by relationships between organizations and relationships between countries. I will share how to transform relationships at the soul level.

Everyone and everything has a soul, including a relationship between individuals, organizations, cities, countries, and more. You can apply soul healing to transform every aspect of life, including relationships, finances, and much more.

“Transform the soul of a relationship first; then transformation of the relationship will follow.”

If you have blockages with your spouse, your children, your family members, your colleagues, your boss, and your friends, it is not difficult to understand that there is a spiritual reason for these blockages.

That spiritual reason is karma in your relationships from previous lives. Even so, you have the power to transform your relationships.

The golden key to transform relationships is unconditional love and forgiveness. Love melts all blockages. Forgiveness brings inner peace and inner joy. Doing a regular forgiveness practice is key to selfclearing karma and removing blockages in every aspect of life, including relationships.

Forgiveness is two-sided. If “A” and “B” have issues in a relationship, “A” needs to forgive “B” and “B” also needs to forgive “A.” The forgiveness practice is as follows: Dear _______ (name the person with whom you wish to transform your relationship), I love you.

Please forgive all of the mistakes I have made against you in this lifetime and in all lifetimes.

I sincerely apologize for all of the pain and suffering I have caused you.

If you have made any mistakes against me in this lifetime and in all lifetimes, I forgive you completely.

Chant or sing repeatedly silently or aloud: I forgive you.

You forgive me.

Bring love, peace, and harmony.

Bring love, peace, and harmony . . .

This mantra and practice have power beyond words.

This is soul transformation of relationships. This wisdom and technique can be applied for transformation of any kind of relationship. Practice more and more. You will understand the benefits more and more. Generally speaking, chant for three to five minutes per time, three to five times per day. If you have very challenging relationships you should chant for one to two hours a day. The longer you chant and the more you chant, the better the results you could receive. Add all of your practice time together to total one hour or more a day.

NEED A LIFT?

Try a Success Program!

I

f you are like many people, at some time in your life you have or you will enter a rut in life. Sometimes this rut is referred to as a mid-life crisis, some times it is called the prodigal period, but whatever it is called, the same basic ingredients exist.

What happens is that you start questioning the meaning and direction of your life and evaluating whether or not you should make changes (often major) and how you should go about doing them. Often it is brought on by a feeling of discontent in the place that you are in life compared to where you wished to be.

Basically you feel that you’re not achieving the success that you desire and want to change that. I’d like to suggest that if you are experiencing these “stuck in a rut” feelings try out (or at least check into) a success program.

OK – so, what is a success program? It can actually be many different things really. They range in value and quality just like anything else and it’s advisable to keep in mind that you often pay for what you get. The essence of the right program should be is focusing on how to change whatever you are doing and adjust your trajectory so you can start to achieve the things that you are setting your sights on. This largely has to do with adjusting your thinking.

There are many programs offered where you can join others in a conference / retreat type of format.

This style of success programs are fabulous for breaking you out of the rut and allow you to see and feel what is possible for you. However, I strongly encourage you to look into working with a life coach (either one on one or in a group program) so that you can keep the momentum for change going.

I have often seen people get totally inspired and motivated at a success retreat and then as soon as they get back home, back into there old routines – they lose all of the breakthroughs they experienced while being out of their environment… My passion is to support people where they are to make the changes required to succeed in every capacity possible for them.

Again the major goal of a success program is to make you change your way of thinking to allow you to

16

change the course of your future. The mind is a powerful thing and if you can get it bent on success rather than futility, you have done a wonderful and potentially life altering thing for yourself!

Emotional Intelligence In Mediation

W

hen I train new mediators they often ask me, “What is the single most important quality that makes a great mediator?” As we discuss this question various ideas are usually offered up, ranging from active listening and reframing skills to intelligence and a thorough understanding of the family law of Ontario.

While these are certainly important requirements for a mediator, I think the key characteristic of a truly great mediator is a high E.Q. Emotional Intelligence, or E.Q., is, of course, the concept popularized by Daniel Goleman in his groundbreaking 1995 book of the same name. Goleman describes many aspects that contribute to one’s E.Q., including self-awareness and impulse control, persistence, zeal and self-motivation, empathy and social deftness.

Of these, I have found that empathy is the most important. The ability to recognize and respond to other people’s emotions, to really understand how another person feels is, for me, the essential characteristic needed to be a great mediator. Goleman expands the concept of empathy to include the ability to respect differences in how people feel about things, and to excel in “the arts of cooperation, conflict resolution, and negotiating compromise.” With this description of how empathy manifests itself in practice, Goleman could have been describing the role of the mediator who, above all else, must listen and understand in a neutral way, without judging or taking sides in a dispute, and yet make each person feel heard and understood.

Goleman points out that people’s emotions are rarely put into words. Rather, they are expressed through non-verbal “cues” such as tone of voice, gestures, facial expressions, etc. A mediator with the capacity to interpret this kind of communication can identify the real problem in the room, quickly perceive why the parties have not been able to reach an agreement, and help each person understand what the other spouse really needs him or her to hear.

Oprah Winfrey has often said that deep down we all want to feel that someone sees us, hears us, and understands us. This idea is borne out by the day to day experiences of myself and other mediators. No one ever tells us, “I really appreciate your knowledge of family law.” Rather, what we hear time and again is a variation of, “Now I feel that someone is listening. I feel heard. I never got to tell my story before.” It wasn’t an understanding of the legal facts of their dispute they had been craving; it was recognition of their feelings.

Genuine resolutions of disputes arising from separation and divorce don’t happen when people simply accept the legal implications of their situation. They happen when each person has felt an empathetic response from another person, starting with the mediator.

Roche 33 Somerset Street West, Ottawa, ON K2P 0H3 email: evitar@sympatico.ca

613.237.7335 What often happens then, of course, is that separating spouses, having experienced empathy from their mediator, can often show a more empathetic response to their partner than they were previously able to exhibit.

When separating spouses connect, even if only briefly, on an emotional level, they begin to work together to craft real resolutions to their dispute. Empathy is the gift that keeps on giving.

Unfortunately, the legal system deals with facts only.

Mediation deals with emotions as well as facts, and recognizes the paramount importance of the former.

Regular readers will have noticed that I frequently say that separations are only 10% legal, and 90% emotional.

The reason many couples wind up mired in protracted negotiations or litigation is frequently because they are too focused on the legal dimensions of their dispute, at the expense of the emotional.

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

5 Ways to Rock Your Natural Rhythms

Megan Campbell

Feeling like you don’t want to get out of bed in the morning?

Having a hard time falling asleep?

Gaining weight and not sure why?

W

e have all heard of, or maybe even experienced, the tick-tock of our biological clock. Most often referred to by women as a time when we are hearing the faint whisper, or maybe loud scream, from our inner ‘world’ telling us it is time to get on with procreation.

However, this ‘clock’ exists for many more reasons than simply procreation. All living organisms ~ plants, animals, mammals, even fungi ~are ruled by rhythms.

They ultimately determine our eating and sleeping patterns, body temperature, biological activities, and most significantly for women, our hormone production.

In actuality, the tick-tock is governed by the ‘Mother Clock’, our circadian clock. It oversees all our internal rhythms, and is located in the brain, hidden deep within the hypothalamus. When our natural rhythm is disrupted it can have a negative effect. A number of health problems can result when our circadian rhythms are out of whack as well, such as Seasonal Affective Disorder (SAD), obesity, diabetes, and sleep disorders like insomnia.

If we don’t take the time to observe and honor our natural rhythms we might experience mild depression, feel tired a lot, gain weight for no apparent reason, restless sleep, the dreaded constipation, or maybe like you are living on an emotional rollercoaster. This is because hormones run not only our bodies, but our brains too. The hypothalamus is in charge of regulating our hormones, so when they are in a state of imbalance our natural rhythms are naturally going to be impacted as well.

The good news is we can use Yoga to help us keep the ‘Mother clock’ running efficiently. When we do this, we feel more rested, alert, vibrant, and happy.

www.megancampbell.ca 4am-9am ~ Passion Time!

Enjoy ten minutes when you first wake up to bond with the Divine by meditating or praying. End with a gentle laying twist holding each side for 5-10 breaths to stimulate your intestines. Better than coffee, this will get your bowels moving.

9am-Noon ~ Creativity Time!

According to circadian rhythm research, this time frame is a period of heightened creativity and when cortisol levels increase. Relish a few long, deep breaths in Mountain Pose with Arms Overhead to help awaken your whole body and relieve any remaining stiffness in your shoulders and back.

11am-2pm ~ Action Time!

This is the time of day when we are meant to be at our peak energetically, although more often than not we are starting to fizzle out. Try practicing 8-10 rounds of Sun Salutations at some point, holding downward dog for 5-8 breaths each round. Downward dog is a gentle inversion that helps balance your hypothalamus.

2pm- 6pm ~ Inversion Time!

Regardless of age, our rhythms cause us to feel a dip in energy during this time of day. Napping is actually not the best practice for us Westerners. What can be better than a nap you ask? Practicing an inversion! Instead of another cuppa Joe to get your brain energized, try Headstand.

6pm – 9pm ~ Rest and Digest Time!

Ensure a good night’s sleep by taking a few minutes for yourself in Wide Leg Child’s pose.

Use a few deep inhales to invite in five things you are grateful for that day. Recent studies show that people who practice daily gratitude reported Empower Yourself-Empower Others. New Life Path NLP offers a full getting more sleep, spending less time range of self-empowering services and educational courses to clients in awake before falling asleep and feeling both individual and small group settings.

Crystal of the Month

Chrysoprase

C

hrysoprase is a beautiful form of green Chalcedony. It carries the green ray and is a stone of heart consciousness. It is also a stone of healing, growth and abundance, but first and foremost, Chrysoprase is a Relationship Stone.

We may not always realize it, but the relationships we cultivate in our lives are our primary means of recognizing own hidden nature. If we are paying attention we can learn so much about who we are by seeing ourselves reflected in the beliefs, behaviors and issues of the people in our lives. The people we love will mirror to us both the beauty and the imbalances we carry within.

This can make “putting our toe in the relationship water” a little unnerving especially if we have been hurt by the reflection in the past. Chrysoprase helps us find the courage to dive in again. It does so by helping to heal the negative patterns we hold from our past relationships. Maybe you can remember the first time you fell in love. The first time, we give one hundred percent of ourselves to the experience.

We trust what we are feeling, and we trust the other person. Chrysoprase helps return us to that state of trust. It is a wonderful stone for healing the limiting beliefs that formed from being hurt and disappointed by past relationships. It softly dissolves even the most stubborn bitterness and resentment, so that we can love and trust again.

Through loving others, we can learn to love ourselves.

When we fall in love with another, we are actually falling in love with ourselves. We are discovering our own beauty and loving nature as it is mirrored to us by the other. We may never know the true magnitude of beauty and love that lives inside of us if we allow fear of pain disappointment to hold us back in our relationships. Chrysoprase helps us find the compassion to understand that when our loved ones disappoint us they are showing us something about ourselves, perhaps a shadow part that we could not easily see on our own. Finding compassion for what we perceive to be weakness in others helps us to find compassion for ourselves.

Self-compassion allows self-love, which is the key for loving relationships. It helps us to heal dysfunction in our current relationships and prepare us for new ones by encouraging forgiveness and compassion.

Chrysoprase also heals feelings of loneliness and isolation. It helps us to feel and know that we are connected to all life –

to understand that we are all made up of the same units of creation. It brings us into more direct experience of wholeness that is intrinsic to the natural world. This makes it a great communicator with plants, the devic realms and other Earth spirits, including Gaia herself.

Chrysoprase can, in fact, return us to the natural states of love, joy, health and wealth that are our Divine birth rites. It is even said to restore lost youth and magnetize new love into one’s life!

Embracing Chrysoprase is like embracing the future in all its unknown glory. It teaches us to embrace new love by embracing ourselves. If your heart is longing to share itself with someone maybe Chrysoprase is the stone you need right now. Maybe you can allow Chrysoprase to show you your shadow parts so that you can love and transform them. When you do, get ready for a big quality of life upgrade!

My Quest against Electropollution baby steps

I

t all started when my barber gave me a video called The Peter Webb Story. It shows Peter and his EMF Balancers in Milking barns. When the balancers where installed the cattle gave from 22 litres to 35 litres more milk. They were dissipating all the electropollution from the milking machines. I had a friend of Peters come over and install two EMF Balancers in my home, one on the fuse panel in the basement and one at the opposite end of my home. A calmness came over our house and property and even the dog was calmer.

My grandson has ADHD and I approached the principal of his school and asked if he would let me try them in the school. After they were installed in the school, they noticed a difference in my grandson and all the other students The difference was less stress, happier students and a feeling of wellness. My grandson did not go the principal’s office the last three months of school. Before the balancers he was there every day. These balancers work 24/7 and never need recharging Since then, I have balanced car dealerships, health clinics, restaurants, a gluten-free bakery, energy meetings and private homes.

As Electropollution increase faster than a speeding bullet, our health and our way to heal ourselves gets to be harder and harder every day. Time to think outside the box, not to bury our heads st in the sand and denied that Electropollution in the 21 century is not for real.

caring for our children

A

s these times of great shifts and change are upon us, we are being offered many choices and tools to assist the planet in its awakening. One very simple, and very valuable choice is to hold a space of welcome for the new children incarnating onto planet Earth. These souls are coming through with great gifts to share, and all have come to offer us opportunities to shift our perspectives and create a new world--- from the bottom up.

Care of our most vulnerable sectors is what is most needed as we step into the new energies. These vulnerable beings are symbolic of our own vulnerabilities, which need to be honoured and cherished. As a society we have so often belittled our own vulnerabilities and thus have dishonoured women and children. As we begin the process of healing ourselves, learning to care for our youngest and most delicate population will assist us in learning to care for these aspects within ourselves, and healings beyond our wildest imaginings will begin to occur.

Every year of life is sacred, but the first seven years of life are most precious. This is the time when we develop the subconscious, which eventually, as adults, creates our world. The words, attitudes, and feelings a child receives at this time become his/her own inner voice.

Imagine this: Every thought, feeling, and sensation a child experiences during their first seven years is one that will be imprinted within their subconscious until such a time as they decide consciously to remove it. For some of us that never happens, and these imprints are what guide and create our lives. For others, a process of transforming the subconscious only begins after a trauma of some kind has initiated a healing process.

With this in mind, parents and care givers, please realize your very important role in the evolution of our planet.

You are the caretakers of our future, quite literally.

This is an important role, but not one to be taken too seriously. It is equally important to be playful and to allow ourselves to have fun. Our children need to see

Sound Healing Massage

“Sound will be the medicine of the future.” - Edgar Cayce e are all aware of the many benefits of massage for relieving pain and stress from the body.

You are also likely aware of how sound can also help to alleviate pain and stress. Many ancient cultures recognized the importance of and to this day still use music and sound as a healing power.

I have developed a technique which combines massage, sound healing instruments including crystal bowls, tuning forks and percussion instruments to further enhance the relaxation experience to bring about a state of profound relaxation in order to be better able to release stress so that the body can restore itself to balance.

Some of the benefits of the instruments include: rattles and drums to loosen the energy in the chakras to allow for easier cleansing of negative energies, singing bowls and tuning forks to alter consciousness and to create a deep sense of peace and wellbeing so that the body can restore itself to balance.

If you have never had the experience of lying down while having live crystal bowls and tuning forks played around you, you are in for a profoundly relaxing and nurturing experience. If you have, imagine having this combined with massage to further enhance relaxation and pain relief.

Ask a Naturopathic Doctor

Restoring our Sleep with Correct Lighting

CARP RIDGE Natural Health Clinic

Chiropractic Care - Registered Massage Cancer Care - Food Sensitivity Tests Naturopathic Doctors - IV Clinic

—Katherine Willow N.D.

I

n this column I’d like to introduce the correct wavelengths of light that we need in the evening to have a nourishing sleep.

The benefits of regular, deep sleep include: energy, alertness, quick reaction time, natural craving control, a healthy libido, balanced weight, resilience to stress, longer life and reduced risk of cancer, diabetes, depression and chronic disease. Sleep deprivation leads to the opposite and is predominant in modern life, with many of us being chronically fatigued, overweight and unwell.

One of the most important factors for a good night’s sleep is the amount, intensity and type of light we are exposed to in the evening. It turns out that artificial light, with its blue wavelength, makes the body think that it is still day and consequently suppresses our melatonin production and stimulates the stress hormone cortisol.

The result is that we are stimulated and unlikely to go to sleep—or be able to go to sleep.

Our fullness hormone, leptin, is also decreased by exposure to blue light, leading to excess eating in the evenings.

This phenomena is particularly emphasized when we gaze into a screen in the evening hours: TV’s, computers, cell phones and tablets all have too much blue light and prevent us from sleeping well.

When we look at our evolution, this disruption is easy to understand. A bright day has about 50,000 lux of light which goes down to 1 lux at dusk. For most of our past, we relied on fire (red/orange) for night visibility. Our bodies evolved to fit in to this cycle. The introduction of electrical lighting at night has brutally offset our normal circadian rhythm.

Luckily there are a few effective solutions that don’t require the total elimination of lights or screens.

• The best all-around trick for avoiding blue light in the evening, (short of going to sleep early), is to wear amber glasses or goggles for 1-2 hours before your bedtime—or from dusk on. These filter out the blue rays and allow the body to relax into its normal sleepiness.

• There is also a program for computers, phones and tablets that dims the light. One needs to dim the other lights in the room as well.

• Use a red nightlight for getting up when it’s still dark to avoid getting restimulated with blue light and not be able to get back to sleep.

• Keep the bedroom totally dark, even eliminating light from alarm clocks.

www.ecowellness.com • Change from doing screen work at night to getting up early, which is better for our health as the time asleep before midnight heals and rebuilds our bodies • Candles, oil lamps and fire don’t trigger melatonin suppression so can be used as a source of light.

• Spending time out in daylight in the afternoon helps balance our circadian rhythm, optimizing alertness in the daytime and sleepiness at night.

• Parents of young children can buy nursery packages. Babies don’t start making their own melatonin until they are about 10 weeks old (longer for preemies).

• Consider adding supplemental melatonin for yourself and/or children; see a naturopathic or medical doctor for appropriate doses and how to monitor.

Sacred Circle Dance

S

acred Circle Dance is like a kaleidoscope.

When you pick up and look into the kaleidoscope, you at first see shapes and colors. Each shape is different yet an important part of the picture. There is pattern. Next as movement is introduced, through the viewfinder, you will see new forms. Beautiful changing images emerge from that which was once in stillness.

Sacred Circle Dance is similar. Each person brings their unique life experience and interest. As the music begins, there is beauty in the flow and energy that is created. All together we form a sacred circle that expresses the essence of life through changing patterns of movement and stillness.

Participating in an evening or workshop of Sacred Circle Dance promotes a sense of well-being. Simple dances are shared. There is a mix of modern and ancient music from different cultures around the world.

No dance experience is required. One might be hesitant to give it a go because there is this word ‘dance’. Thoughts of ‘I can’t dance’, ‘I’m not coordinated’, ‘I am too self-conscious about dancing in front of others’ might be present. Yet know that Sacred Circle Dance is not about performance.

In fact, a principle that is shared is to let go of this notion of getting the steps right. Instead know there can be many variations that occur! What is more important is to play, laugh, and smile at the wonder of discovering something new.

There is an honouring of community. As a circle is formed, each person becomes an integral part. Throughout this group activity it is possible to notice the support one receives from others, as well to experience one’s contribution to the whole.

It can also be an individual experience. The attention and focus can be about sensing, noticing, what is happening within and for oneself. Have you wondered what does it mean or feel like when one’s body and mind are aligned? Sacred Circle Dance is a wonderful means to support the creation of balance and alignment in one’s life.

What in essence is Sacred Circle Dance? It is a practice of developing, exploring and deepening one’s connection and relationship with one’s Mind, Body, Soul and to the source of All That Is. It is an opportunity to awaken, engage, and develop one’s sense of awareness while experiencing moments of movement and stillness in the presence of others.

Menopause in TCM

By Steve Ryu, R.TCMP, R.Ac.

M

enopause doesn’t have to be a dreaded curse of aging during which we can look forward only to hot flashes and whacked-out hormonal mood swings.

Menopause often marks the beginning of a woman’s most sexually passionate, creatively inspired, and professionally productive phase of life. While this may sound like wishful thinking, examine how a woman’s lifestyle, emotions, and beliefs are affected by menopause.

With the right diet, attitude, and Oriental Medicine women can actually look forward to a resurgence of energy and a revolutionary opportunity for personal growth--one that rivals the hormonally driven period of adolescence. Menopause itself is not a disease.

Menopause is a transitional period marking the cessation of ovulation in a woman’s body. This time of change may last a few months to several years.

Symptoms vary from mild to severe, and are brought on as our bodies try to adapt to decreasing amounts of estrogen. Symptoms include hot flashes, night sweats, insomnia, fatigue, mood swings, memory loss, vaginal dryness, headaches, joint pain, and weight gain.

According to Chinese Medical theory, menopause occurs when a woman’s body begins to preserve blood and energy in order to sustain her vitality and allow for the maximum available nourishment for her body, especially her kidneys. The kidney is the organ Chinese Medicine sees as the root of life and longevity.

Therefore, the body, in its wisdom, reserves the flow of a channel in the center of the body which sends blood and energy down to the uterus. Instead, blood and essence from the kidneys are conserved and cycled through the body to nourish the woman’s spirit and extend her longevity. Thus, in Chinese medicine, menopause is seen as a true change in life from mother of biological children to mother of the community. This is why, in traditional cultures, post-menopausal women are regarded as wise women, since their heart spirit is now nourished and enlightened in a way it was not before.

However, unfortunately, many women do not traverse this cusp quickly and smoothly. Rather, they get stuck in the middle of this change. When they do, they may experience any of a number of signs and symptoms.

Few areas of women’s health stir up as much confusion and debate as Hormone Replacement Therapy (HRT), which is normally started when the first symptoms of menopause appear. While they may alleviate hot flashes and prevent osteoporosis, they will also increase the risk of breast, ovarian and uterine cancer, and have a number of significant side-effects. But HRT isn’t the only solution. Menopause is an area in which Oriental Medicine shines. Acupuncture and Chinese herbal medicine have the ability to detect energetic changes that occur in the body and quickly relieve symptoms such as hot flashes, foggy mind, and irritability.

Traditional Chinese Medicine does not recognize menopause as one particular syndrome. Instead, it aims to treat the specific symptoms that are unique to each individual using a variety of techniques such as acupuncture, Chinese herbs, bodywork, lifestyle/ dietary recommendations and energetic exercises to restore imbalances found in the body.

Menopause patients are encouraged lose that extra weight and to follow a diet with a high content of raw foods, fruits and vegetables to stabilize blood sugar.

Some foods may exacerbate hot flashes or increase mood swings. Steer clear of dairy products, red meats, alcohol, sugar, spicy foods, caffeine, and don’t smoke.

Lastly, try to eliminate stress, tension and anxiety or learn techniques to cope with stress so that you can diminish the effects that it has on your body and mind.

Ayurveda: the ancient healing science of India for health + happiness

By Maria Eugenia Garre, M.Ed

A

yurveda is a Sanskrit word that brings together two root words to form one: Ayur meaning life and Veda meaning supreme knowledge or wisdom. Thus, Ayurveda is known as the science or wisdom of life.

Written evidence dates Ayurveda to 3000 BC making it the oldest, uninterrupted system of medicine to be practiced in the world. Ayurveda has been healing mankind for thousands of years; yet modern culture is just now waking up to its benefits.

Ayurveda’s foundational concepts are based upon the Tri--‐Doshic theory of Vata, Pitta and Kapha (the three Doshas), Prakriti and Vikruti. Every person is a unique amalgamation of five physical elements (space, air, fire, water and earth). Through the law of cause and effect, each element exerts their influence upon our body and mind through its respective properties, the gunas. Very simply stated, the elements are present in everyone and everything; however they combine to create three bodily doshas. Vata is primarily composed of space and air bringing the dry, light, mobile and clear qualities. Pitta is mostly fire and water creating hot, sharp, oily and spreading effects. Kapha contains mostly water and earth offering heavy, stable, smooth, and static qualities to the individual. The three doshas form the premise of Prakriti, your unique, innate essential constitution which is determined at conception. According to Ayurvedic principle, we are a permutation of Vata, Pitta and Kapha and that is Prakriti. This determines who we are and also defines the natural expression of balance; health and happiness for complete well--‐being.

However, this balanced state can be disturbed and create an imbalanced state, Vikruti. If we remain in a state of imbalance for too long then it can lead to health problems, disease and/or mental unrest. Many factors influence our daily lives to create imbalance such as lifestyle and dietary choices, seasonal influences and emotions. Prolonged and unmanaged situations which stress the body or mind will eventually jeopardize our natural, healthy and balanced state, Prakriti, which then leads to Vikruti. For example, if in the middle of winter we are traveling a lot, eating salads and not sleeping well then according to Ayurveda Vata dosha will be aggravated due to the principle of “like increases like”.

This means that we are increasing qualities within the body that will disturb our natural state and thus

eventually lead to a disease condition. In this example, the person could be plagued with health problems ranging from poor circulation, cracking, and popping joints to anxiety or constipation depending upon the individual.

Good news! Ayurveda offers us various lifestyle, seasonal, and dietary practices that can help guide not just our day to day living but also guide the way we exercise or practice Yoga. Returning back to the Winter/Vata Dosha example and Ayurveda’s primary axiom of like increases like and opposite heals; an Ayurvedic Practitioner can quickly ascertain that the qualities of space and air, akin to Vata dosha, are creating an imbalance, Vikruti, within the person’s main constitution of Vata. To alleviate any of the above symptoms we would encourage the individual to adopt opposite dietary and lifestyle choices like: eating warm cooked foods that are moist and oily; cover the head, back of neck and lower back to protect from cold air; and keep to a consistent sleeping routine, for example. All of these measures, according to Ayurveda, would minimize the condition at hand creating discomfort or illness.

In addition to lifestyle practices, Ayurvedic practices also include an arsenal of body therapies and herbal protocols to bring health when there is disease.

Ayurveda not only offers a way to heal naturally through lifestyle and dietary choices but also has potent medicines and herbs that heal the body without the adverse effects of most allopathic medicines. But the most revolutionary thought process in Ayurveda is centered upon the premise that there is a root cause for all disease and most of the time the root cause revolves around our lifestyle and dietary choices.

A Brief History of Fluoridation

I

n the beginning, captains of industry used ruthless opportunists to convince men of good will that fluoride substances could be used to prevent tooth decay. They used fraudulent science to prove their claims by hiding contrarian results and promoting only favorable ones. They were able to twist the minds of benevolent opportunists who were looking for a viable and easy solution to the rampaging disease of dental decay.

The proof of fraud has been fully documented by investigative journalist Christopher Bryson in his book “The Fluoride Deception”, 2004, by the Canadian, “Fluoridation: Autopsy of a Scientific Error,” Morin, Graham & Parent, 2010, and “The Case Against Fluoride,” 2010, Dr.’s Connett, Beck & Micklem: they completely expose all the fallacies of fluoridation.

Harold Hodge, Trendley Dean, Robert Kehoe, Edward Bernays, Gerald Cox, and others, at the behest of their industrial and military sponsors, were able to engineer seemingly credible arguments that fluoride could prevent tooth decay.

The major driving force behind fluoridation has been the reduction of the possibility of lawsuits from the damage that could and did occur from exposure of farm animals, farm production and people to the damage of toxic fluoride waste from their factories.

Their fraud has been exposed many times by numerous excellent and thorough examination of the original raw data that has since been obtained and made public by many reputable and well qualified researchers and scientists in many related fields, such as toxicology and pharmacology, including social scientists and statisticians.

Today’s artificial water fluoridation is based on what are called the fluoridation trials, four of them, that were concocted between 1945 and 1955 in North America, to try to prove the viability of preventing tooth decay by fluoridation: Newburgh-Kingston, New York, Grand Rapids-Muskegon, Michigan, Evanston-Oak Park, Illinois, Brantford-Sarnia, Ontario.

These trials were poorly designed substitutes for scientific research: test results were selected to show only positive results favoring fluoridation, data collection was subjective, inconsistent and done by numerous different dental practitioners throughout the testing in each city. Conclusions reached from the data were inconsistent with no valid, objective analysis of the data and there was no accounting done for age, sex, race, socioeconomic conditions and other confounding factors.

If one compares the socioeconomic factors of wealthy communities with those of poorer ones and infer that they will be comparable when studied for the impact of

28

fluoridation, you immediately introduce a bias showing the more wealthy communities will have better tooth decay outcomes. That’s exactly what happened in all of these fluoridation trials, yet, the investigators were hard pressed to find very little to use to prove their case, but still gave the sponsors the desired interpretation.

Fluoridation was from the beginning and remains a broken program. The only beneficiaries of fluoridation are the industrialists whose fluoride toxic waste is being turned from a debit to a credit on their bottom line. They have rationalized and justified their decisions based on the results they seek using very well paid scientists and researchers. When non compliant scientists and researchers balk, they are quickly eliminated as sources of potential harm to the agenda. Greed drives ever greater profits and prestige gained among their peers from appearing to better fool the public about their deleterious activities: nothing new here.

As much as one would like to believe that medical officers of health (medical bureaucrats), from the federal level through the provincial and municipal ones can be exonerated for their being duped by past errors, it remains that Councillors are responsible for making right something that is patently wrong. This travesty needs to be redressed in light of current knowledge, science, ethics and ideology about fluoridation.

Fluoridation is unproven, unsafe, unnatural, unnecessary and unethical. Please visit our web site http://ffo-olf.org/ and look for information under the different media links provided.

Fluoridation contaminates your tap water.

It damages children’s teeth.

Has been a fraud from the beginning.

Grace Hypnotherapy Treatment for Irritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS)

by Grace Joubarne, Clinical Hypnotherapist

I

rritable Bowel Syndrome (IBS) results from a disruption in the regular impulses of the muscle in the bowel. Pain and cramps arise when two portions of bowel, close to one another, are stimulated to contract simultaneously and the portion of bowel in-between distends. IBS appears to be associated with prolonged stress and exacerbated by medication side-effects (especially psychiatric drugs).

IBS can include bouts of constipation, diarrhea, abdominal pain and bloating. In recent years it has been diagnosed in children as young as 6 years, although often removal of GMO wheat and corn from the child’s diet resolves the issue.

Dr. Grant Thompson, one of the world’s leading authorities on IBS concluded in his review of drug management of IBS “the sheer number and variety of drugs sold for IBS treatment are testimony to their collective uselessness (Thompson, 1994).

The Mayo Clinic Proceedings, 2005 Review of Hypnosis in Contemporary Medicine Gastroenterology acknowledged that hypnotherapy for IBS resulted in significant improvements in well-being, bowel habits, distention symptoms and pain, with no relapses at 18-month follow-up in 80-85 % of patients reviewed.

The National Health Service in the United Kingdom has embraced hypnotherapy treatment of IBS and other gastrointestinal disorders, citing the fact it has been cost-effective, non-invasive and provides lasting results in over 80% of cases followed for a period of 5 years.

IBS has attracted in-depth research by some of the leading gastroenterologists in the world. In studies

by Whorwell et all (1984, 1987) and Palsson et al (1997, 2000), the response to hypnotherapy for IBS symptom relief was consistently 80-85%.

Research since the 1980s has shown that due to its cost-effectiveness, long-lasting symptom relief and gentleness without side-effects, hypnotherapy should be the treatment of choice for all forms of IBS. Adriane Fugh-Berman, MD, Chair of the National Women’s Health Network in Washington DC declared hypnotherapy should be the treatment of choice for IBS before drugs or humiliating treatments are tried.

While many gastrointestinal issues are the result of pesticide, herbicide and GMO-laden diets, prolonged and severe stress and anxiety appear to be directly linked to the on-set of IBS. I offer my specialized training and skills in the hypnotherapeutic treatment of Irritable Bowel Syndrome and holistic nutrition to help you resolve your gastrointestinal issues.

Manifestation

By Gloria Pavey www.innerlightmom.com

Manifestation is like the condensation of water droplets.

Like magic, Seemingly out of thin air, A bead of dew Appears.

What does the blade of grass think?

Is it excited, Knowing that with the sunrise A bead of dew Will form anew?

Is it fearful?

Wondering, Whether or not It will manifest its desires This time?

It is the mere presence Of a blade of grass That creates the space For a bead of dew To manifest, Not as something entirely new, Created from nothing, But as the transformation From invisible To visible.

You Don’t Have To Take Drugs

A

llopathic medicine has created a multi-billion dollar synthetic drug industry. Premarin, a synthetic estrogen derived from horse urine has become one of the top selling drugs in the states. ERT or estrogen replacement therapy may actually be causing more harm than good for women who take it.

Because the body is always striving for balance too much estrogen in relation to progesterone causes hormonal imbalance and leads to a chain reaction of problems from bloating to headaches to major diseases like gallbladder disease and even cancer. Pharmaceutical companies simply come up with another drug to treat the symptoms it causes.

Allopathic medicine will have us believe we need drugs to control our bodily functions. I could go on and write several pages on side effects caused by drugs. There is an escape from the destructive cycle of taking drugs. Instead of treating symptoms with synthetic drugs and causing more problems and toxicity after alternative medicine goes to the root causes and uses safe effective methods to address and reverse the imbalances. As we look at the epidemic proportion of disease these days, obesity, heart disease, cancer, diabetes, depression, ADHD and so on. We are starting to come to the conclusion that our health is really our responsibility. Allopathic medicine has failed us in this area treating disease. People are tired of side effects. It’s time for alternative measures an alternative that is not new but has had success for thousands of years. There are options natural options available to treat illness. I’m not saying to discontinue your current medications, but you should be asking your physician the “tough questions” because ultimately, it is you who is responsible for your own health.

It’s been discovered over the recent years that drugs have been found to cause depletion of important necessary nutrients our body needs. With so many adverse drug reactions and the high cost of drugs and insurance and services does it not make sense to look to the alternatives? The world is facing the largest health crisis in recorded history. Modern synthetic practices have all but destroyed us. Illnesses of the past thought to be eliminated are emerging more and more and artificial suppressants are no longer working. Whatever happened to plain old common sense? We’ve been hood winked and sold a mess of garbage. I welcome you to explore the alternatives the common sense safe approach to health. Orthodox medicine has created

so many confusing theories about the way the body operates.

The Hindus, Chinese, Native Americans and Hygienists have been healing and treating disease for centuries with success. Ayurveda, the traditional natural healing system of India is an ancient philosophy based on the deep understanding of the human body, mind and spirit. It is believed to be the oldest surviving complete health system in the world. The principles of Traditional Chinese medicine and treatment observes disease by taking the human body as a whole treating each person as unique.

It has developed over thousands of years supposedly 5000 years ago. Native Americans were here when we arrived using plants as remedies. The Medicine Man and Woman worked with both the physical body and the psyche. Not only western herbalism, but also western medicine is indebted to Native American medicine for many remedies now commonly used. There are 7 out of 10 botanicals sold in the US that were used extensively by Native Americans. The Eclectic doctors combined food and natural occurring plants and were very successful in treating illness.

Flowers, Happiness & Well-Being

By Dawn James

P

erhaps you like the color? Maybe it’s the fragrance that captured your attention, or could it simply be the aesthetically pleasant visual break from looking at your computer screen, TV or cell phone? Whatever the attraction, flowers can enhance your home or work by adding natural charm and beauty.

Bringing flowers indoors also has a “happiness effect.” Having flowers in the home or office soothes us, which naturally reduces stress, which, ultimately, causes us to feel more relaxed, secure and happy! Hundreds of studies have been conducted on the effect ornamental plants and flowers have on our mood, stress levels and behavior. One study conducted by the Norwegian University of Life Sciences and Uppsala University in Sweden found that potted plants in offices can reduce fatigue, headaches and stress, and that the more plants a worker could see from the desk, the fewer sick days they took.

Plants and flowers can also be healing. Have you heard of the term horticulture therapy? I like to think of it

as nature taking care of us when we take care of nature.

Some hospitals have introduced horticulture therapy to their patients. It’s a technique whereby patients care for and nurture plants as a means to reduce their recovery time.

Physicians observed that patients who physically interact with plants have a significantly reduced recovery time after medical procedures than those who don’t interact with plants.

Who knew that such small, unassuming flowers and ornamental plants can not only raise the vibration of your living space with fragrance, color and visual stimulation, but they also help raise your vibrational frequency?

They do this by increasing the levels of positive energy, which helps us achieve a more positive outlook on life, counteract stress and facilitate healing.

ABOUT DAWN Dawn James is an international speaker, green-living advocate, musician and author of several books on vibrational frequency including her newest book How to Raise the Vibration around You, Volume I available at The Crystal Dawn in Ottawa, amazon.com and autographed copies at www.raiseyourvibration.ca

Legacy: Not a Love Story with the Earth Part II Ian Prattis

P

Nucleus of Friends for Peace Canada Teachings every Thursday 7.00pm - 9.00pm

rime Ministers, Presidents and CEO’s collectively figured out that distracted people don’t realize they are in danger. Please learn something from Rumi. He said: “Sit down and be quiet. You are drunk and this is the edge of the roof.” But your policies and greed forced humanity off the edge of the roof to occupy an ecosystem of distraction technologies. Add in the Fear factor and Suffering – then homo sapiens may indeed be toast. Turning on the switch of awakening in your time frame seems to be a good idea right now, but that is not something you promote. This is what you promote. In Canada, Stephen Harper and Big Oil ran an incredible promotion campaign for the Alberta Oil Sands project.

They produced images of reforestation, utmost safety, deep concern for wildlife, populations and clean water.

This played to a receptive audience throughout the country. Decades later the northern rivers and lakes had become a wasteland. It does not take long to destroy eco-systems. Oil derivatives and sludge polluted lakes swiftly poured through interconnected waterways.

Aboriginal populations that once augmented their households with fish and game are no more. They either relocated or died, for they could not drink the polluted water carrying the deadly toxins from Tar Sands Oil production. While the northern ecosystem dies, the politicos and corporate CEO’s bask in power and wealth.

Mr. Harper, Prime Minister of Canada – do you remember in 2013 that 12 prominent Canadian climate scientists advised you to grow up? They took you to task for the wasted billions spent on expanding oil infrastructure. Your policies torpedoed the transition to an economy that could sustain us. Instead of finding a balance you chose to use the atmosphere as a waste dump for carbon. We all breathe the same air Mr. Harper. Are you even aware of the legacy you left for your great grand-children? Certainly you and your global clones created well provided bunkers for your families – but sad to say the power ran out some time ago, along with the synthetic food. Your descendants are waiting to die from the next wave of pestilence. Do you think for one moment that they look kindly on your legacy? They do not. And indeed hold you responsible for their miserable life on planet earth.

Our team have communicated with global citizens and encouraged them to hold all political and corporate ghouls to account. Where can they begin? Citizens must think globally, be aware of the bigger picture and step beyond the smaller pictures of themselves created from the disempowerment you so cleverly dispense. They

Intentions then spread as ripples from a pebble dropped in still water. In addition to holding officials, politicians and corporate culture to account, citizens can begin with the small things that everyone can do. Such as implement a lifestyle of voluntary simplicity, reduce meat consumption, walk/cycle more, drive less, create an organic garden, plant a tree – just do it! Reduce the ecological footprint by conserving energy with an eco-friendly act every day, then global consciousness as a collective human phenomenon may change. Different questions will be asked and different solutions found, as a new mind-set of shared consciousness emerges to make the necessary decisions for change. At the same time alert political and corporate decision makers that you mean business as voters and consumers deeply concerned about the planet and your location on it.

Respond in the short term and do not check out in the long term. Boycott all Monsanto products and vote for new leaders is the immediate rallying cry. Citizens must make it clear to political and corporate leaders that the violence and disorder committed in their name is no longer acceptable. Citizens of the world, please hold your leaders to account with clarity, wisdom and courage. The actions taken now shape the possibilities for generations to come. The future is now. When the collective will changes, we will have new leaders who act differently.

In writing to present political and corporate leaders from the future of 2101, we realize that you are all dead now. Some assassinated, others rotted away in prison, while the remainder died shallow deaths in gated communities. Please note that the prophecy for your 2013 legacy was provided in 1971 by Stanley Kubrick’s “A Clockwork Orange.” Watch the movie Mr. Prime Minister, President, CEO – Then Think!

Sri Chinmoy Answers

SELF-DISCOVERY through

Question: You have said that if we do less thinking and planning we will be happier. Would you elaborate on this?

MEDITATION

SRI CHINMOY: In order to be happier, it is absolutely necessary for us to think less and meditate more. Each time we think, we are lost. But each time we meditate, we are illumined. Thinking is done in the mind, but the mind is not yet liberated. Only the soul is liberated. Our problem is that we want to be liberated by thinking.

But the mind itself is still in the prison cell of darkness, confusion and bondage, so how can we expect liberation from the mind? No matter how highly developed a person is mentally, he is still extremely limited.

In order to be happier, it is also necessary to plan less and act more. When we plan, we very often are frustrated because we do not see the truth right from the beginning. We plan to do something because we feel that if we do it we will achieve a certain goal. But in between planning and executing, different ideas or different ideals enter into us and create confusion for us. Then our planning goes on and on forever and we never enter into the world of action because our plans

are never complete or certain. There is a yawning gap between our mental plan and the action itself.

But if we have an inner will, the soul’s will, which comes to us from meditation, then the action is no sooner conceived of than it is done. At that time there is no difference between our inner will and our outer action. But if we plan something with our ordinary will, with our human mind, it may take five years to execute that plan. Or it may all come to nothing after all. When we enter into the totally dark, obscure, unlit room of action with our mental plan it is like carrying a candle. But when we enter the room with our soul’s light the room is flooded with illumination.

The mind is in the prison cell of thoughts, ideas and habits, whereas the soul is a free bird. At any moment the bird can fly away but it stays inside the body, and when we pray and meditate, it constantly brings us the message of the Infinite. In the soul’s world, realisation is spontaneously followed by action. But in the ordinary life thinking is the realisation, and one person’s thought-power is contradicted by another person’s thought-power. But will-power cannot be contradicted by will-power because willpower comes directly from the soul.

Will-power is flooded with infinite Peace, Light and Bliss, and it always brings oneness. But in thoughtpower there is no oneness. In the mental world my thought-power will not be the same as yours, and your thought-power will not be the same as mine. We will always be confused and at variance. But when I use my will-power, immediately you will feel your oneness with my will-power, because it has come directly from the soul, and in the soul’s world we are all one.

Homeopathy for flu protection – how does it work?

By Ati Petrov DHHP

L

ong before allopathic medicine discovered how to prevent disease by introducing a similar but weaker form of it into the body, homeopathy was already using immunization for diseases like smallpox and scarlet fever. “Homeo-pathy” means curing through a “similardisease”. Specially prepared natural remedies were used to stimulate the immune system so that during an epidemic it is well prepared to prevent contagion.

Homeopathic immunization.

In the 19th century homeopathic immunization was used to prevent scarlet fever, smallpox and other diseases. Most recently, due to a shortage of vaccines, Cuba used homeopathic vaccines to protect the population of an entire city from an epidemic of Leptospirosis - a mass experiment proving the efficacy of homeopathic immunization.

The flu shot.

The flu shot contains real viruses and toxins injected directly into the bloodstream causing an immediate reaction: shock (chills), then fever, sweating, coughing – this natural detoxification response is mistakenly believed to be the flu!

Homeopaths prepare remedies in a way that preserves the efficacy of the natural substance, but removes all crude and toxic elements, making the remedies safe and highly effective. They are administered orally, thus avoiding immune shock and over-reaction.

What appeals to people is the principle behind immunization, and that was discovered by homeopaths.

The chemical industry tried to come up with their own crude methodology that was riddled with failure from the start: contaminating people with smallpox, polio or the SV40 virus that causes cancer.

Get the homeopathic flu prevention.

There is no need to fear the flu because it seldom causes problems. But if you still want to have some protection, take the homeopathic flu immunization – it is safe for the whole family, especially babies and the elderly.

A homeopathic flu immunization can be tailored to match closely the immune needs of each person and this guarantees even better protection.

Ati Petrov DHHP is a homeopath practicing at the Village Clinic in Westboro. Every fall and winter she offers flu prophylaxis and care to the community. For more information or to order yours: ati@realmedicineclinic.com or call 613-820-3234

This critical condition can develop after a person goes through a life death situation, serious injuries, sexual assaults and any situation that creates shock and fear in a person’s life. The symptoms of PTSD may include recurring flashbacks of the event and high levels of anxiety.

Women are more likely to develop PTSD in comparison to men and children especially under the age of 10 are highly unlikely to experience stress disorders.

Researchers to this day are trying to characterize groups of people who have a higher probability of getting PTSD by identifying unifying characteristics amount different subjects yet very few patterns have been identified to this day. In some individuals the symptoms will develop very shortly after the event, but for others the onset may be delayed by a number of months, or even years after the trauma first occurred.

Awareness towards PTSD has grown dramatically in recent decades and a turning point came when this disorder was officially recognized as a medical disorder after 1975 (Post Vietnam War Period). Before Vietnam War and especially during World War 1 & 2 soldiers experiencing same symptoms were generally characterized as battle fatigued or shell-shocked.

Ottawa Hypnosis specializes in utilizing advanced hypnosis techniques that have proven successful in very complicated PTSD cases.

There are various ways of treating PTSD including medication, psychological debriefings, cognitive behavioral therapies, interpersonal psychotherapy etc. Hypnosis is a rather less heard method of treating PTSD and has shown high levels of compatibility with PSTD patients mainly for 2 reasons 1) Hypnosis after extensive testing was found to be beneficial in treating PSTD patients because PTSD symptoms are

similar to phenomenon experienced under hypnosis and 2) Studies show that people who have PTSD are highly hypnotizable. Another huge advantage of using hypnosis as a treatment for PTSD is that people with PTSD can be taught to use self-hypnosis to minimize the effects of PTSD if the symptoms reoccur.

A study conducted in 2005 tested the effects of hypnosis and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) on participants who had PSTD. A group of 67 people were initially divided into 3 groups. All the three groups then received 6 session of hypnosis, Cognitive behavioral therapy or supportive counseling. Results from the study clearly indicated that people in CBT with hypnosis showed lesser symptoms of PTSD immediately after treatment and showed better recovery on the 6 month follow up as compared to the group that received only supportive counseling. Ottawa Hypnosis is aware of this critical information and works hard at developing treatment packages for its patients that deliver results effectively and efficiently.

Ottawa Hypnosis deploys the accredited technique of Hypnosis for curing a variety of problems including phobias, smoking and PSTD. Ottawa Hypnosis employs hypnotherapy effectively to address Post Traumatic Stress. The underlying objective is to access and unwind stored emotion regarding a certain trauma and approaching it with a different point of view. Accessing the unconscious mind and reprogramming it to let go of the negative beliefs related to a specific event that caused trauma is the key to a successful hypnosis therapy. Ottawa Hypnosis carefully works with each individual to evaluate at every step of the hypnosis therapy whether the therapy is going in the desired direction and will it achieve the desired results, In case there are variations corrective action is immediately taken.

Bach Flower Essences for Emotional Healing

A

t various times in our lives we all find ourselves struggling to overcome emotional setbacks or selfdefeating patterns. The 38 Bach Flower Remedies are herbal, 100% natural treatments that can help you get back on track toward the emotionally healthy life you deserve.

Bach flower remedies are dilutions of flower material, developed by Edward Bach, an English physician and homeopath, in the 1930s. Bach thought of illness as the result of a conflict between the purposes of the soul and the Tel: 613 692 2800 personality’s actions and outlook. He believed that this internal war leads to negative moods and energy blocks, causing a lack of harmony. This then leads to physical disease if untreated.

drops on flower petals transferred the healing power of that flower onto the water. He would collect the dew drops from the plants and preserve the dew with an equal amount of brandy, to produce a mother tincture, which would be further diluted before use. Later, he found that the amount of dew he could collect was not sufficient, so he would suspend flowers in spring water and allow the sun’s rays to pass through them.

The remedies contain the energetic (or vibrational) nature of the flower and are considered v i b r a t i o n a l medicines, relying on a concept of water memory. They are hand produced exclusively in England.

Bach Flower Therapy addresses negative emotions www.green-spirit.ca such as sadness, despair, hopelessness, irritability, rage, resentment, over concern for family members, uncertainty, selfdoubt, shyness, lethargy, impulsivity, agitation, procrastination, daydreaming, panic, worry, anxiety, and phobia.

The remedies work in conjunction with herbs, homeopathy and medications and are safe for everyone, including children, pregnant women, pets, the elderly and even plants!

It truly is a simple system of healing that is easy for anyone to use, and with no known side effects either!

How perfect!

The best known flower remedy is the Rescue Remedy combination, which contains an equal amount of Rock Rose, Inpatiens, Clematis, Star of Bethlehem and Cherry Plum. The product is aimed at treating stress, anxiety, and panic attacks and is especially helpful in emergencies.

Rescue Cream contains the same remedies in a cream form, with the addition of Crab Apple. It is applied externally in response to minor skin problems such as itches, cuts, stings, pimples and burns.

Remedies are often recommended by naturopaths or by a trained Bach flower practitioner after an interview.

However, it is perfectly possible to choose your own essences simply by self-diagnosis. If you are into dowsing or muscle testing, they are also great ways to select what you need at this time.

At Green Spirit, we carry the full line of Bach Flower Essences and associated products and information. It’s a really fascinating healing method…and well worth looking into!

ECO & SPIRITUAL LIVING

“Health depends on being in harmony with our souls” Edward Bach Bach believed that dew found on flower petals retains the healing properties of that plant. He derived his flower remedies intuitively and based on his perceived psychic connections to the plants. If Bach felt a negative emotion, he would hold his hand over different plants, to see which one eased his symptoms. He then considered that that particular plant had the ability to heal that particular negative emotion. He also believed that early-morning sunlight passing through dew-

THE SACRED HEART OF MARY Blessed Virgin Teaching Of The White Rose Of Faith

October 5, 2004 nnouncing the process of self healing of Marian Faith in community worship circles as a continuation of the previous article which is a preliminary insight article contributed by the faith of mary spirituality in canada as directed

by Father Joe Kane, OMI, of the Roman Catholic church among the Lay, in Ottawa and in conjunction with the pastoral care program of the White Wind Clinic and retreat of Ottawa. The program is welcomed by the community and is taught by Sonja Muller, Lay Healer, medicine teacher, and former nurse of the R.O.H. and Royal Ottawa Rehabilitation Center.

The White Rose of Faith is the work of the Light of God, who is Jesus. He is living in us as a work of faith, who is receiving our sins, and He is like Mary, who like Jesus, is calling out to the world for the work of peace.

The White Rose of Faith teaching is now given: A rose is made perfect by the longing of the heart, and the heart who calls it to become perfect, is waiting for the rose to blossom. It is blossoming by faith, and it continually drops a petal off to show that it yields the many virtues of faith. It is letting go of the world slowly, and it represents the many facets of faith in the world, but it is a teaching of faith which is all enduring and all encompassing and yields the fruits of faith, which is made perfect by the Father. It is a fruit of forgiveness and it is a fruit of love, and in it we are shown how roses can make us know the littleness of life, and how littleness of life is inside us. We are always making ourselves little and this littleness, is my teaching.

The small child, who lives in the heart of Christ is a sister or brother of Christ. They are chosen by Christ to portray littleness, and to be the wonder of Christ sign in men. They are working miracles of faith who are giving themselves to Christ through the littleness of life. They are preserved by Christ in His abode in their littleness, and He is teaching them all one by one. He is calming them, supporting them, and listening to them. It is the white rose of faith, which causes them to know the love of the world. In the White Rose of Faith a teaching is made perfect, through contrition. It is the Blessed Virgin’s teaching on abortion.

A child who is aborted is made perfect through Love who is Jesus, and He makes them know what love is in the time that they are born. He is with them, as they are aborted, and when they suffer, He tells them what to expect, and He tells them what is needed by their tiny littleness, which is their soul. He sees their pain, and he extinguishes it by taking it upon Himself. He

lives in them, and He sees them in the heart of Christ as a child who is suffering, and they are making Him weep, and he weeps inconsolably with passion and forgiveness. He is making them know His life, and He is putting them in His Hand, and He is holding them with sureness and love, and He guards their littleness. The child who is aborted is not made to suffer in a physical way but suffers spiritually, and is knowing the pain of separation of the mother and the child. It is in pain knowing that it is being torn from the womb of life, and it is in pain knowing that a woman, who is it’s mother is being let to receive the vindictiveness of life. She is left to know, the pain of abortion, which is what the Lord, had made her know, but she is without consolation, and she has no understanding of the Lord. In this, she is welcomed by the Lord, who loves her, and she is returned to the fold.

She is preserved by the grace of forgiveness of the Lord.

A small child, who is taken from the birth mother, is also placed in the situation where it can know pain. It is also placed in a vessel, which the Lord keeps for such events where He cleanses them. He cleanses them and in His cleansing, releases them from the memory of the pain of abandonment. It is His Will in them coming to life. He takes them to the place where he adorns them with His Love, and He is giving them new life. He seeks them out, and when they come toward Him, he reaches out, and places His cloak around their shoulders. It is the act of love of the Father, and the Son and the Holy Spirit. The cloak is a garment made up of the works of angels, who realize the needs of the child, and the child is protected from birth and given safety. It is the act of the Will of the Father, which causes this to occur.

In this time a child who suffers will know eventually the will of The Father. It is the work of the wholeness of life in them. It involves the work of life, the Father, the Mother, and the return to Christ. It is the Holy Mother, who teaches this. In the Holy Mother word’s, “The child of Christ is saved through Faith, and when they receive my illumination, they receive the blessing of the Blessed Virgin, who takes them in hand” Today, a child of God, knows Light and the Light is the son of God, who is returned. They realize light through a visitation of the Holy Mother. She bestows upon them some gift called by her a “Gift of Mary”, and she lets them know. It is the sure sign of the times. It is meant to accommodate the needs of those who are lost,! those who place trust in the Lord, and those who are made to know of it. Amen.

L

ike many helping those of all ages recover from psychiatric ‘treatment’ and vaccine damage, I had unmistakable feelings of dread as I watched the recent W5 segment on The Jack Project - the well-intentioned efforts of parents whose son committed suicide.

Like most organizations now pushing university and college kids to seek ‘treatment’ when they feel depressed and suicidal, they don’t realize they are playing right into the hands of the very gangsters who profit from having these kids labeled for life, turned into life-long drug users and subjected to scientificallyproven worsening outcomes.

The original intent of sending a child to college was to have them educated and socialized into healthy, wellbalanced, educated, employable, tax-paying adults. Jon Rappoport, investigative reporter and Pulitzer Prize nominee, in his article, Send your child to college, and watch him earn a mental-disorder diagnosis. (Sept 22, 2013), points out that the continuing enrollment of the young and vulnerable into universities and colleges, most of which are financially tied to pharmaceuticals, big oil and the biotechs, now ensures the medical/pharmaceutical drug cartel decades of new life-long pharmaceutical product users.

Rappoport: “The JED Foundation is an example of a group that networks with colleges to set up comprehensive systems for mental-health services. It boasts two past presidents of the American Psychiatric Association on its boards. JED’s medical director, Dr. Victor Schwartz, writes: “In the past year, 21.2 percent of college students received a psychiatric diagnosis or were treated for mental health issues such as depression or eating disorders, and an estimated 6.6 percent of students reported having serious thoughts of suicide...” Is it any wonder one out of five college students now end up in the psychiatric pipeline?

Since drugging is starting in the pre-teen years at the behest of ‘education innovators’, these figures are sure to increase as planned. In fact, the latest statistics are showing that tens of thousands of newborns to 3 year olds are drugged senseless with anti-anxiety drugs!

And then we have all the cautionary tales that tell us ‘mental illness’ is the problem, when in fact virtually every shooting and mass murder stars a perpetrator deranged by psychiatric treatment and on psychiatric drugs.

Under pressure to perform academically for a job in a substantially shrinking job market and with chemicalladen, addictive food-like substances and beverages taking the place of good, wholesome food to ensure the depletion of whatever scant energy might be left after heavy course loads, these kids are certainly ripe for the picking.

56

On-campus, Big Pharma-trained feeder lines usher our kids right into the very heart of the psychiatric drug machine, ensuring worsening outcomes and a total lack of accountability. These drugs come with black box warnings for increased risk of suicide!

The medical/pharmaceutical cartel is using emotional blackmail to promote the idea that it’s a student’s duty to report any student exhibiting signs of mental illness.

Now not only does the shrink get to ‘diagnose’ you with a convenient psychiatric opinion, but your teacher and class-mates get to do so as well. Talk about a witch hunt!

Even though it’s an open secret that the SSRI antidepressants induce violence, including suicide and homicide, parents still believe the fairy tale that the doctor knows best, waltzing their kids to the altar of corporate greed (See SSRI Stories for thousands of true stories). These ‘disorders’ are absolute fictions and the drugs used to treat patients are highly toxic and scientifically proven to cause catastrophic illnesses and behaviors that then provide further excuse for even more drug treatment.

Severe nutritional deficits; prior toxic medical drugs of all sorts; vaccine injury; environmental chemicals; food and GMO sensitivities; peer pressure & bullying; fluoride toxicity, physical and emotional abuse; oxygen-deficit; and head injuries and concussions are only a handful of reasons why a life might hit the rails that conventional doctors will certainly never investigate.

Holistic health practitioners, such as well-trained, highly informed clinical hypnotherapists with natural nutrition backgrounds take the time to tease out all the issues to discover root causes of depressive moods in a given patient, which in most cases are reversible.

Having worked with many such young people, I know the body is very forgiving and children/youth are resilient when not drugged into insanity.

As Rappoport has often commented in his many articles: “The concept called “mental disorder” is a sales pitch backed up by extraordinary PR, money, academic gibberish, and government-granted official status.” This collusion results in mass killings, epidemics of suicide and with every event they have been instrumental in causing, they double their lies using government allies and media parrots. They fear monger with calls for more ‘surveillance’ and more diagnoses, more involuntary incarcerations and more drugs and electroshock. Now they are drugging children in diapers!

From Dr. Peter Breggin’s breathtaking exposé: Toxic Psychiatry: “Roberta was a college student, getting good grades, mostly A’s, when she first became depressed and sought psychiatric help at the recommendation of her university health service.

She was eighteen at the time, bright and well motivated, and a very good candidate for psychotherapy. She was going through a sophomore-year identity crisis about dating men,

succeeding in school, and planning a future. She could have thrived with a sensitive therapist who had an awareness of women’s issues.

Instead of moral support and insight, her doctor gave her Haldol. Over the next four years, six different physicians watched her deteriorate neurologically without warning her or her family about tardive dyskinesia [motor brain damage] and without making the [tardive dyskinesia] diagnosis, even when she was overtly twitching in her arms and legs. Instead they switched her from one neuroleptic to another, including Navane, Stelazine, and Thorazine. Eventually a rehabilitation therapist became concerned enough to send her to a general physician, who made the diagnosis [of medical drug damage].

By then she was permanently physically disabled, with a loss of 30 percent of her IQ. ‘...my medical evaluation described her condition: Roberta is a grossly disfigured and severely disabled human being who can no longer control her body. She suffers from extreme writhing movements and spasms involving the face, head, neck, shoulders, limbs, extremities, torso, and back-nearly the entire body. She had difficulty standing, sitting, or lying down, and the difficulties worsen as she attempts to carry out voluntary actions. At one point she could not prevent her head from banging against nearby furniture. She could hold a cup to her lip only with great difficulty. Even her respiratory movements are seriously afflicted so that her speech comes out in grunts and gasps amid spasms of her respiratory muscles...

Roberta may improve somewhat after several months off the neuroleptic drugs, but she will never again have anything remotely resembling a normal life.’ “

Now, multiply that ending by millions and you start to get a handle on how tragic it is to believe what any drug-prescribing doctor says.

Healing and the Law of Attraction

I

was presenting a workshop in Montreal on Energy Flow at a Creative Awakening Day of mini-workshops this past week and had the pleasure of attending some of the other workshops being presented by various facilitators.

One presenter shared some EFT (Emotional Freedom Techniques) with us, a tapping tool designed to blast through physical and emotional pain in the body.

Using headache as an example, the facilitator had us tapping various points on our body while repeating out loud “this headache, this headache, this pain in my head.” After the exercise, I asked her to explain how having a headache mantra could remove pain, rather than anchoring it further in the body.

Her explanation centered around the idea that, while some positive thinkers like to make positive statements and affirmations about perfect health, EFT practitioners focus on truth, bring truth out into the open, and deal with it.

But what is truth? Without invalidating her belief system, my truth is that “if you think you can, you’re right, and if you think you can’t, you’re right.” This adage applies to Health and the Law of Attraction.

While there may be some truth to the idea that “I have a headache,” it is by no means the whole truth, and it is not all that I am. I prefer to accept that “this body has a headache,” but the “I” who is an energy being vibrates at all times in a state of perfect health, and this “I” or “I AM” is a far greater truth than the little body that has an even littler headache.

I could never tap away physical pain for the simple reason that according to the Law of Attraction, whatever you focus your attention on will grow. On the other hand, I would certainly accept tapping the various points on the body while simultaneously repeating a perfect health mantra! In fact, I tried this and it works quite well.

A Course in Miracles suggests that whatever we observe through ego’s eyes is necessarily flawed or distorted and, since God (Source Energy) can only create perfection, that which we are seeing must be

illusory. If that is true, then healing occurs when we see through the illusion of pain or sickness and instead be a witness of our perfect health. The miracle occurs when we see truly.

Of course, when we are in the midst of pain or emotional trauma it is difficult to see it as an illusion. But remember that it is real only to the body, and not to the Spirit within. When our awareness of our Spiritual Self expands through our daily spiritual practice, eventually that Spiritual Self overcomes any suffering we may feel in the body, and at that point we have the resources to heal quickly and naturally. For some it is a practice that can take years, whereas for others the healing occurs instantaneously. But in all cases, the focus is always on that which is positive.

Too simplistic, you say? Ah yes, it is that eternal human condition that seeks to complicate that which is in reality very simple (and remember that if it is a human condition, then according to A Course in Miracles, it is just an illusion). Because Law of Attraction really is a simple philosophy: there is only a vortex of well-being, and as long as we are in a state of receiving, then well-being is all that we will experience. It is only when we resist our well-being that problems occur. So despite the EFT practitioner who thinks that positive thinkers are in denial because we don’t want to face the “truth” of our suffering, I will continue to follow my simplistic and naïve assumption that healing is possible because my truth is focused on the eternality and perfection of the I AM presence within me. I may be simplistic, but I am in perfect health!

Psychiatrists and criminologist have found correlations through lines and finger print patterns predisposing individuals towards behavioural and psychological anomalies.

Many years ago, while teaching palmistry I actually had an RCMP officer take my class for this very reason!

One of the first things people realize is that in a very short period of time you can learn a tremendous amount about a person. At the grocery store check-out, the local bar, on the bus… at a job interview…you can glean a great deal of information from one quick glance! Is this person trustworthy, outgoing, reliable, open, warm, reserved, etc.? The palm can reveal this and a whole lot more!

Circles of Consciousness Jean-Claude LeBlanc

Who am I? What am I? Dear Reader, know that in Reality you are an infinite being, perfect and complete. You have always been so and will always be. In the world of form, which includes all universes, the higher the density, the more limited you will be.

Consciousness encompasses all life forms, actual or potential, and all possibilities. You and I are consciousness; this is our essence. Yet, consciousness is one, and it is collective in nature. We, consciousness, created the world of form, a complete game, in which we are both actor and creator. However, we need to gain a greater understanding of what the rules are so we can become better players, in other terms, live healthier and happier lives.

Observing the dynamics of life helps us gain an understanding of how it all works. Asking the help of our internal guidance system and listening to the answers, the intuition that comes instantaneously when you state a question, is very powerful; it will lead you on your personal path.

Why am I here? You are here because you chose to. You also chose your life script, because it offered optimum possibilities for you to heal, grow and move to the next level on your journey to complete awareness. The role of the ego, an entity totally separate from what you are, is to make you its slave, to control your mind, and make you feel miserable. Your role is to reconquer your freedom by becoming aware of how the ego operates, how it constantly tricks you, and to free yourself of its dominance.

Circles of Consciousness are intended to address your concerns, especially those that may be blocking you from advancing on your spiritual journey, and to shed light on your path. At the beginning of a session, I will guide you into a meditative state, so we can be present with an open mind and an open heart. We will ask to receive the healings that are available for us. Being grateful for receiving these gifts from the Infinite Love of Pure Consciousness is always in order.

During the second phase, you will have the opportunity to raise any question you feel comfortable raising, including those pertaining to your most profound issues, and to get the answers that serve the highest good for you at this time.

At the end of our session, we will again ask to receive the healings that are available to us. You will also be invited to evaluate your experience and share it with your fellow participants. Know that you will feel better about yourself and life in general, as you gain a deeper understanding of the role and meaning of the life you have been experiencing.

Circles of Consciousness will be held at the Chimo Hotel, from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm, Saturday, November 23, and from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm, November 26 and December 3. Two sessions will take place in French, from 7:00 pm to 9:00 pm, November 28 and December 6. The Chimo Hotel is easily accessible at the St-Laurent exit, by bus or by car, and there is ample free parking.

The cover charge is $30.00.

I Will be Happy When…

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

daniel@praxiswealthinstitute.ca www.praxiswealthinstitute.ca

I

was having a conversation with some fellow life coaches recently and the issue of happiness came up. The common theme that we all came up with was that people have this misconception that happiness will come to them when they achieve their goal, or when some event takes place that gets them out of their current state.

If you listen to people talking around you, you are bound to hear them say things like: “I will be happy when I get rid of my current boss!” “I will be happy when I make more money!” “I will be happy when I get to my desired weight level!” As a retirement coach, many people have told me that they can’t wait to leave work because that is when they will begin to “really live and be happy”.

Or will they? I ask people what is wrong with being happy right now? What is preventing you from being happy in the present moment? Why do you have to wait for 5, 10 or 15 years or have some life event take place before you start to live and be happy?

I can relate to their situation because I too was prone to talking to myself using that same language. When I was in the early days of my career and developing my client base, money was certainly an issue. My revenue stream was lean but I knew that with persistent and dedicated action, I would build up my client base and increase my revenue. I also thought that I would become much happier when I would finally get to that magic level of income that I had set as my target. I did achieve that target and subsequently realized that that assumption was not true at all. Therefore I set new goals, achieved them and the same situation repeated itself: I was not that much happier by achieving these new goals.

Frustrated by this state of affairs, I began to study success, happiness and many related topics to better understand what was going on here. I realized that in most cases, happiness would show up when you reached your goal but that it was not the kind that was lasting. I also found that by developing a happiness mindset and by working on it constantly, you had a far greater chance of being happy in the present moment.

Happiness is a powerful emotion that needs to be worked on daily in order for it to stick to you. Happiness should not to be that elusive reward for having achieved something. Happiness needs to be felt and enjoyed as you work on achieving your goals. Happiness is not the destination and once you appreciate this fact; your life is bound to be different, in a positive way.

In a previous article I talked about having an Attitude of Gratitude in order to see your net worth increase.

During his 10 years in university, he wanted to Having an Attitude of Happiness is another great way understand human beings, life and death and the to achieve the same goal but also for you to enjoy your workings of societies.

Have You Missed the Hot ACCESS CONSCIOUSNESS Empowering People To Know That They Know Blonde in the Red Ferrari?

S

sssshhhhhhh! Don’t tell anyone! Some of the most life-changing classes in Access Consciousness are disguised as the little old lady from Pasadena when they’re really as fast and hot as a gorgeous blonde in a red Ferrari convertible!

Say what? Their disguise is NOT sexy—Foundation and Level 1. Core courses. Boring names. Like high school chemistry, once you’ve done them, you’re done, right?

Oh, my friends, do you know what you’ve been missing?

Participants in one recent class said things like, “I never expected to get so much out of it!” She went from Foundation and Level 1 to create the relationship she’d been longing to have her whole life.

“The course was brilliant, it’s changed my life, I see so many things differently. “My life will never be the “same old’ same’old” again that I thought it might have to be, phew! Who knows where this will lead me but now I feel less fearful and more excited, who would have ever thought it?!”

What you may not be aware of is how dynamically these classes change, and how dynamically they continue to change people’s lives.

These classes include four full days of dynamic clearing processes, which work on a deeper level every time you hear them. The information presented here about how life on planet really works is nothing you’ve heard before and it is found nowhere else.

One participant observed halfway into Foundation, “Every one of these things you’re discussing is a tool we can use to change our lives!”

The facilitator said, “Yes, that’s why I say there are 8000 tools to change your life in each class!” He went on from Bars to do Foundation, and from Foundation to do Level 1 that same weekend.

One of the reasons these classes are so dynamic is that Access founder and best-selling author Gary Douglas revises them at least twice a year. One of Douglas’s amazing gifts is the ability to go into the future and know what everyone participating in the classes in the next 12 months or more will require, and include that in the class. If you’re considering taking or re-taking these classes, that would include you!

Another trend that keeps these classes dynamic, in addition to the constant change and development of Access, is the way each clearing makes possible deeper and more dynamic clearings. Since 350,000 people get cleared for each person in the room each time a clearing is said, major change on the planet is being continuously

created by these so-called “basic classes.”

When it comes to Access and the speed of change it creates, isn’t the term “core or basic classes” in itself an oxymoron, like “military intelligence?”

Another facilitator observes, “There’s so much more to these classes than people know. After these classes you will feel, look and BE different: people who take this class often report that aches and pains that they’ve had for years disappear, they start to feel happier and less stressed, they feel like they have the tools to face situations in life, problems that they had start to change and have less of a hold on them. And they start to have more of a connection with their body, and with themselves. They begin to honor themselves more, and include themselves in the choices they make in life.”

In addition to the dynamic and intense 4 days of processing and clearing, both Foundation and Level 1 include dynamic body processes that one facilitator describes as “super dynamic. They have created HUGE changes for people around the world.” You get to gift and receive these processes each time you participate in one of these classes. Could these classes be just what you’re looking for to change your world? What would it take for you to participate?

Parenting With Wisdom How to Help Your Children Make Friends With Their Feelings 1. The best way you can help your children make friends with their feelings is to make friends with your own feelings. Are you willing to allow yourself to feel your full range of feelings: anger, fear, joy, sexual feelings?

2. Tell the truth to kids about how you are feeling: “I’m angry, I’m scared, I’m happy, I’m tired, I’m sad.”

3. Do your best to separate your feelings from the child’s feelings and from the child: “I’m angry and it doesn’t have anything to do with you. You don’t have to take it on.”

4. Do your best not to take your child’s feelings personally. You can’t control their feelings. It is important to honour and acknowledge their feelings.

5. If something your child has done or hasn’t done has triggered anger in you, tell the truth about it, but do your best to get to the bottom-line feeling in you. For example, you may be angry that your child didn’t come home on time, but you were also scared they weren’t safe. Make sure they hear the full range of feelings from you when you are upset - not just anger. Beneath anger there is often hurt or fear. Children need to hear about adult’s hurts and fears as well as their anger.

6. Help your children get descriptive about their body sensations. Ask, “What are you noticing about your body? How are you holding your body?” Sometimes when they don’t have the words for what’s happening, ask specifically, “What’s happening with your shoulders?” or “Notice how you’re standing right now?”

7. Invite your child to exaggerate what they are doing with their body so that they become familiar with the body sensations of feelings. For example, “Make what you’re doing with your eyebrows bigger” or “Scrunch your forehead up even more.”

EMBARRASSED Written by Alexis Nicol

I

was driving home from the cottage and as usual a stream of thoughts were running through my mind. I was trying to think of something I could write about that might bring more enlightenment to others. I thought of something – which I can’t even remember now. I just knew though that I had to get it out there - before someone else did. Then another even louder thought, as clear as a bell, says to me “You want to be the Hero” a statement not a question. Talk about bursting my bubble. Suddenly this gross feeling came over me, my stomach dropped and I wanted to disappear into the seat. I wanted to hide myself, I felt guilty and so embarrassed. I realized that I did indeed want to be the “One”, the “Hero” the “Saviour”. God forbid someone else come out before me with my idea!

Doesn’t it always happen? You think of something and then you see it everywhere. Believe me, whatever you think you thought of first, has probably been thought of by someone or many others before you. It may have even been a thousand years ago; chances are you aren’t the first one to think of it.

Why was it that I wanted to be that hero? It could go back to when I was a child. I was expected to be the one that would “fix” everything, come to the rescue so to speak. Funny how we are brought up to believe what everyone around us relays to us. What about the embarrassment? Over and over I have been fed the belief that I shouldn’t stand out, that I might think too highly of myself and that it might go to my head in a bad way – not good!

I realize that yes indeed I want to be a Hero and I’m pretty sure that I’m not alone – I sure hope not!

Isn’t it funny that most of us don’t even see that we are heroes? Every time we take a moment to do something to help ourselves and/or others that’s exactly what we are being - a Hero. Every one of us, even the inmate locked in a small cell, can be a hero. They too can give a smile to their neighbour; offer comfort and kindness.

It’s not about being special; it’s about the Love and enlightenment being shared. As we touch each other’s soul with even just a smile we are increasing the well-being of us all on a spiritual level.

This is the wonderful healing feeling we experience when we share our uplifting and loving insights.

Making ‘Scents’ of Cold and Flu Prevention

L

ast month I highlighted the differences between clean burning candles and paraffin and got an amazing response. So many of you want to know how to use natural ingredients in your home and work environments that I was inspired to share some tips for using essential oils for a healthier autumn. Essential oils come from plants which are, by their nature, antibacterial, antimicrobial, antiseptic and/or antiviral. They’re not just pretty scents! When we use essential oils in the air, in the bath, or on our bodies, their attributes are released and we reap the benefits. Essential oils and plants have been used for centuries, but did you know that they have proven their mettle in modern times? During the Second World War, essential oils such as lavender were used to prevent infection. In Europe, aromatherapy was widespread, and in Italy , doctors used citrus oils effectively to treat their patients suffering from depression and anxiety.

Now that fall is here, we should be looking to these oils for prevention of colds, coughs and flus. Let’s take a few easily available, inexpensive oils that you may already have. Whether by diffusion in the house or diluted in a foot or regular bath, the following essential oils are invaluable in prevention and treatment of illness.

Eucalyptus (Eucalyptus globulus) is indigenous to Australia. It is a wonderful oil for opening up the respiratory passages and as a preventative when you are feeling run down. It is also helpful for the achiness that accompanies colds and flu, and as an expectorant.

Peppermint (Mentha piperita) is a well-known oil with an invigorating scent. Helpful for headaches during a flu, it can also ease aches and pains. Peppermint can help one rejuvenate when energy is low.

Tea tree (Melaleuca alternifolia),also from Australian, is an oil well known for its disinfecting properties. For this reason, it would be good to have as a preventive.

It also stimulates the immune system and is a strong antiseptic.

Lavender (Lavandula officinalis) is incredibly useful.

It is calming and analgesic. This soothing oil has many attributes that would make it a great addition to a preventive program this fall. It helps calm and promote sleep, and has antiseptic and antispasmodic properties making it a great choice to assist with coughs and cold.

Citrus oils such as orange or grapefruit would blend well with any of the oils described here and add more antibacterial power.

When purchasing essential oils, make sure the label says “pure essential oil”, not fragrance or perfume oil. The label should also list the Latin name and country of origin. Prices for different oils vary, as some plants readily yield their oils and others require a huge amount of plant material, which makes them more expensive. For this reason, at Planet Botanix we offer 10% dilutions of the more precious oils.

Creating your own healing blends this fall will keep everyone healthy and happy as we move forward into the season.

Note: If you have any health conditions, please consult with your health professional before using essential oils. ©2013 Heather Garrod is a Certified Aromatherapist and owner of Planet Botanix at 301 Bank St near Somerset.

Mastering The Art of Self-Love

By Kerry Palframan RN

S

elf-love is the most needed vibration on the planet at this time. You probably already know the theory, however, what I have seen most often over the years is the disconnection between knowing the theory and applying (practicing) the art of self-love.

It is my intent to offer you some practical steps to do this (yes this is homework) in order to help you more smoothly into the flow of the 5th dimensional operating system which we are moving towards. Without some understanding of, and practicing of, self-love, you may find yourself floundering, stuck, struggling and / or buried and mired in your own deep do-do.

Just as a refresher, the mechanics of Creation work thusly: All things you create in your life operate under the law of attraction and reflection. There is you, Creator/Source and a 3rd party (could be a rock, animal, the weather or another person), which reflects back to you what you are pulsing out into the world.

Because in this earthly game of density, we could not identity frequency without the law of attraction and reflection, that is why this Trinity has been set up (you, Creator and 3rd party) to help you remember Who You Are. Your feminine energy opens to frequency and the masculine pulsing out a vibration into the Universe.

Creator’s job is to match up that frequency and pull in people, encounters and events to match that frequency.

Your job is to recognize that frequency, identify it and discern what it reflects about you. Then you get to choose what you do with that information and how you would like to co-create your reality.

This is your divine opportunity to get to Know Yourself at all levels of your vast and beautiful Being and it is being presented to you non-stop, 24/7 every single day of your life. You will be triggered constantly by this principle/law of attraction and reflection. Can you see it operating in your life? Can you recognize the frequency that you are emitting and pulsing out into the Universe?

And can you recognize what is reflected back at you?

For as we move more into the 5th dimension this law of attraction and reflection is speeding up, just as time is speeding up. Well, there really is no such thing as “time”, as this is a construct of man – but what used to be a 24 hour day 20 years ago, has now compressed into a 6 to 8 hour day. So you are not going crazy, things really are speeding up as we continue to move through the 50 year cycle of the Harmonic Convergence (we are about 25 years into this cycle).

Now, when it comes to love, most people would like to plug into another person (fall in love) because it feels so good. What you are doing is connecting to Source Energy when you are in love. You are attempting to connect to Source through another human being. You

www.indigowisdom.ca are not actually plugging into Source through another – you cannot. You just think you are because you are wide open and receptive when in love with another. But what is really happening is you are connected to Source yourself when you feel love of any kind (for Source is the frequency of love).

So the principles of self-love are about loving yourself and plugging into Source directly, and then you will attract in a partner that is also plugged into Source and now you have someone to share the journey with.

Otherwise you will attract in someone to mirror or reflect your own energy as a tool for learning (or to help you remember Who You Are).

Once you are plugged into and connected to Source, then your heart is open and overflowing with love and everyone becomes a potential “soul mate”, for you will feel love for everyone and everything.

Therefore, in order to connect with Source you must deal with your own inner stuff (issues) first before you will attract in the partner that can match that frequency (wholeness and connection to Source).

Here are some simple exercises to help you on the journey to self-love by looking at the root causes of your own issues (such issues as: safety, security, abandonment, control, worthiness…and the list goes on). There are many more exercises, but these will get you started!

1) Close your eyes. Think of something that makes you smile. Start with the feeling. Feel love. (This will connect you to Source/Creator immediately). Animals, babies and nature are naturally encoded in our DNA as they offer us unconditional love - which is rarely found in another human being. Once you identify this frequency of love, remember it, and reconnect to it often in order to shift the vibe/pulse you are emitting from your energy field.

2) A) List 3 things you would like to have, do or create.

List the reasons why you think you can’t have them.

(This shows you your limiting thoughts and beliefs).

B) For each thing you would you like to create, describe the following: What is essence of it? What does it look like? Feel like? What does it represent to you?

List the characteristics and traits of it. For example, if you chose “more money” what does money mean to you? Energy, power, freedom, safety, security…etc.?

This then is the core issue/frequency that you would like to achieve – not the money but the essence, the frequency of whatever you chose to represent money.

Pulse that frequency out into the world for 7 days and watch what happens! (This takes you deeper.

Shows you what is underneath the desire. Changes your vibration/frequency and helps you get into alignment).

3) List 5 things you do out of obligation. Think of saying no and how does it feel. Think of saying yes and how does it feel. If it brings you some joy or love, then do it. Otherwise say no or reframe/adjust how the experience/obligation will look. (Shows you what lowers and raises your vibration. Too much low vibration will leave you energetically bankrupt).

4) Write down what you appreciate about yourself.

Write a love letter to yourself. Focus on one of these qualities for 10 minutes every day for the next week.

(Shifts the vibrational code/message that you pulse out to Universe).

Enjoy the journey – that is what this earth walk is all about – the journey to self-love.

T

his is a time for giving thanks for all that we have, all that we are and all that soon will come. The blessings of the past may be in our awareness, as long as they lift us.

The movement for bringing presence in the moment is a good philosophy, for as you recognize the perfection of every moment, that all is well in each instant, the more you are aligned with your higher true self and your true nature of being that is truly magnificent. Yet the mind does not always want to stay present moment. Thus as that is worked on, we encourage as the mind drifts to direct it towards those things which are positive and have you feeling good. For it is in the state of being positive, appreciative or grateful that you are in highest alignment with that which you wish to manifest; with that which you are in your higher form.

As you are in synch in this manner, things align faster for you. This is how the law of attraction is often described, but we are calling it more the coincidence of vibrational attunement. You have released that which is no longer in alignment and thus, that which is, may flow. The better you become in your practice of feeling good, positive, appreciative, you will see and notice that things go your way more frequently.

It is when you are holding your vibration in opposition - in fear, anger, or frustration - that your vibration is not allowing the pure form of expression to come through.

So when you’re in the moments of feeling negativity in any of its forms, allow it through and allow it to pass without holding it. Allow it its moment of being recognized in your awareness, acknowledged, for it is not wrong to have these feelings. But it does not serve you to hold them any longer than it takes your body and presence to process and release. Holding yourself in judgement of these feelings does not serve you either.

Do not say that you are wrong and bad for holding negative feelings more frequently than you feel is right. Allow your human experience and these to flow through but not to be held. To find yourself refocused on the more beneficial as soon as you can.

By returning your attention to the appreciation of that particular moment and the next and the next, you reprogram yourself to no longer dawdle in negativity.

Instead, you to learn to live in the new perspectives of positive – how you are able to look at a situation in a way that engenders a more positive feeling and outcome for you.

Simple, yet not always so easy to reproduce as it is to say in a written word. This is another of the ”practices” that are talked about. Many things simply take some practice to retrain your learning to methods that are more valuable for you.
