lease share with you networks in the Ottawa River Watershed. A Guest Presenter or Panel on any or all aspects of INTEGRATION starts at 6:50PM on first Fridays. After a five-minute bio-renewal interval, we gather at 7:50PM in a NETWORKING CIRCLE. We are hosting the Nov. 2 & Dec. 7 gatherings at PLANET BOTANIX. RECEIVING BENEFITS: The feelings people experience are similar to positive spiritually transformative experience (STEs) such as light, warmth, acceptance …, & have been expressed during the closing circle as: gratitude, community, welcoming, peace, integration, expansion, enlightening, enlivening & more…. FOLLOWING A FUN PROCESS: During Networking Circle introductions, each of us briefly states our name, one topic, & one community event/workshop /conference we would like to share. Then we mingle with active listening & active observing conversing in pairs or pods. The intention is to have two 10 to 15 minute exchanges with different people as volunteers to each other, alternating one giving, one receiving. The ‘integrating conversations’ might share demonstrating

holistic methods for health enhancement. For example, we have seen mini-sessions of specialized kinesiology, DNA downloads & more. We offer snacks at this time! All participants abide by our Code of Conduct for everyone to mutually feel: secure, safe, valued & that their free will is honoured, which facilitates cascading waves of integration at the appropriate time. At 8:40 PM we have a CLOSING CIRCLE sharing a word or two on what feelings we resonate with from experiencing the gathering that evening. Then the true meditation begin as we carry that energy frequency vibration into our daily lives... [Note: PLANET BOTANIX closes at 9pm on Fridays.] MAKING CONTRIBUTIONS: The “Honour Fee” for the evening is $10 or more; contribute what you can. Net proceeds are being donated to water is sacred (fb), http://www.freethefalls.ca & http://www.itissacred. ca supporting eco-spiritual works by grandmothers & youth to restore the sacred Ottawa River watershed.

Highway to Health Written by Rev. Alexis Nicol

he theme this month is the Spine, so of course, my thoughts went immediately to reflexology and the spinal reflex along the inside of each foot. Reflexology is great for stimulating these reflexes into balance and relieving stress, but I also feel that we don’t recognize another essential route towards our health. Everyone knows that without the spine we wouldn’t be able to do much of anything. Physically, it not only enables us to move, it’s a protective channel through which our central nervous system makes its way to every part of our body. The Central Nervous System travels along this highway we call the spine to send messages. Our thoughts, in our brain are interpreted through the hypothalamus and the central nervous system connection. They travel throughout the spine to their destination(s). Then our body basically does what it is told through the various cells and organs. If we take for instance, our emotional state and think about how we are feeling, we can realize just how much they affect our overall wellbeing. Say we are angry, our body tenses up creating a number of ill effects, such as blood pressure rising, tension in our heart, clenching our jaws, (stiffening the spine) etc. If we are sending the

emotional message of sadness, our bodies seem to wilt, go limp; we might go into a state of giving up. When we are happy we feel energized all over and are stimulated to engage in life - we are more apt to get moving and take part in healthy activities. Usually we don’t recognize that our emotional, mental and spiritual states are creating the thoughts/messages we are sending along the spinal highway. They are being conveyed every moment throughout our body. Are your thoughts driving along a winding, bumpy road? How much longer is it taking to get to your destination than if you were using a clear and smooth highway? Keeping our highway in good shape and sending loving and healthy messages to and through it will increase our overall health and vitality. Alexis believes in a Wholistic Metaphysical approach to healing mind, body and soul. She combines natural healing modalities in her practice. www.firstlighthealing.com 613-263-7925

Inner Peace:

3/7/2018

2018MOIRA_TONEAd.jpg

Do You Have It?

nner peace is described as a state of calmness and contentment. It’s the belief that you are living your life in a positive way, combined with the ability to comfortably handle any stresses in your life. We all know people that are perfect examples of inner peace. We also know people that are the exact opposite. Any emotionally healthy person desires inner peace. Here are some strategies to help increase your inner peace so you can smile your way through life:

Take care of your body. Inner peace sounds so impressive and spiritual, but you can’t have inner peace if you’re eating badly and aren’t getting enough sleep. Good food, sleep, and proper health care are a foundation for finding and building inner peace.

Accept yourself. You have certain tendencies, likes, dislikes, faults and foibles. Seeking to improve yourself is awesome. But, you have to accept the fact that you’re introverted, short, and nearsighted. Let go of your past and live in the present.

Limit your comments to those things that are true, kind, and useful. We create a lot of challenges for ourselves by saying the wrong things. By telling the truth, you eliminate all the issues associated with lying.

Learn to separate yourself from your thoughts. Your brain is a thought-producing machine. At least 99% of what you think about is rubbish. Learning to allow your thoughts to move on without engaging with them is an essential skill.

Inner peace can be a challenge to attain, but it’s so worthwhile to pursue. Inner peace is simple and honest. It requires living a life that is true to who you are as a person. Be yourself and avoid creating unnecessary drama in your life. Find resolution for those things that are weighing on your mind. Only you can create your inner peace.

Question: What is the best way to deal with all of life’s problems?

Intuitive Soul Coaching. Would you like to reconnect with the blueprint of your Soul? Would you like to identify anything that is getting in the way of fully stepping into and expressing that blueprint? These sessions are fun and illuminating and point you in the direction of your greatest potential. Online Courses. Soulful Surrender will be offering a four-week online course called, Surrendering to The Soul’s Destiny. This course begins in January and registration will begin soon! This is a game-changer for anyone who yearns to step directly onto their Soul’s path to begin the journey that started a long, long time ago.

Ann Jarvis, formerly of The Nourished Soul, listened to and followed the call of her own Soul and founded Soulful Surrender this fall. She is so excited to bring you the tools to help you clear away the confusion and to help you to step into and surrender to your Soul’s Blueprint. Ann also helps you to activate the innate healing codes that are present in every one of us. For more information on Soulful Surrender please visit www.soulfulsurrender.com and subscribe to our website to receive a FREE “Meet Your Soul” meditation.

Ann Jarvis is an Intuitive Soul Coach and Holistic Nutritionist, teacher and mentor. In our sessions, we quickly see that what you are seeking is seeking you. Through our transformative work together, we let go of the old so that you can surrender to your highest path; your Soul’s path. Our time together is intuitively guided to uncover the limitless potential encoded in your Soul’s blueprint. Soulful Surrender also offers transformative online courses to help you to step into your highest potential. Through live webinars, guided meditations and exercises, you gain conscious access to why it is that you are here at this time. Your life is purposeful.

SRI CHINMOY: True, we do have some problems; problems are everywhere. But unfortunately we multiply them into countless problems. How do we multiply our problems? There are two ways. First, we invite the past and the future to come and stay with us in the heart of today. Secondly, we try to solve all our problems in the twinkling of an eye. Let us consider the past as a useless friend—that is to say, the unfulfilled past, the sad past, the past that has not given us what we actually wanted. And let us take the future as a perfect stranger. In terms of the past, if we know that somebody is useless, that he has not encouraged, inspired or liberated us, then let us not invite that particular friend to stay with us. Let us not invite a stranger, either. A stranger may not please us or may harm us, so let us not have faith in the future either. Let us only have faith in today. Today is our friend, our only friend. There are two types of people: desiring people and aspiring people. A desiring person takes a problem as a shattering experience, but an aspiring person considers a problem a strengthening experience. Whenever a problem arises, a desiring person feels that this problem is going to shatter his hopes. Then he is doomed to disappointment. This disappointment gives birth to frustration. But an aspiring person sees a problem as a foundation stone. He accepts the problem as a challenge. He seeks to get a firm footing on the problem and use it as an opportunity to progress. How do we solve our problems? We solve our problems by going deep within. These problems can be solved only when we can surrender to the light, the inner divinity within us. In each experience, the Compassion of the Highest is there to guide us and help us first to surmount the problem and then to transform it into a radiant opportunity.

Spinal Hernia

A life sentence or gone in a month?

o you have that pain in your spine for a while, but only when you make an awkward move or lift something heavy, so you donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t really pay attention to it. But the pain does not go away, and quite the opposite - it gets worse and worse with every week. So you go to your doctor to check it out. He sends you to do an x-rays and/or MRI. And then he says something you really don't want to hear from him: - You have a spinal hernia. Ok, you think, I never heard about it before, so it couldn't be that bad, right? And you say: - So what is it and what are my options, doctor? And he or she replies: - You see, the disk between two vertebras in your spine gone thin. Since the vertebras are now closer to each other, they start pressing on the nerves that come out from the spinal column. Unfortunately, modern medicine does not know the cause of it. So, your options are very limited. There is a doctor in Toronto that does surgery for that. He puts some gel into the disk and that works for some time. But his waiting list is about two years at this time. Physiotherapy does provide some relief, but not a permanent fix. This is where it hits you. You are in for at least two years of everyday pain. Maybe more if that waiting list gets longer. But as your doctor said, the cause is unknown, and your options are limited.

Or are they? Beijing Medical Research Institute Kundawell did an extensive research on causes of spinal hernia, as they had plenty of customers coming to them with this problem. It turned out that in cases where the hernia wasn't caused by the physical damage to the spine, the cause was quite simple. So is the fix. So what was the cause? Spinal hernia was caused by energy blocks in the Bladder meridian. For Chinese Image Therapy, this is an easy problem to fix. Once those blocks are removed, the spinal hernia disappears on its own, often within a week or two, sometimes up to a month. And the pain is gone with it as well. So what would you take - two years (and potentially a lifetime) of pain or problem gone in a month? Yours in health, Vlad

Yoga:

The Path to Know the Self By Ivy Xie-McIsaac, E-RYT200, YACEP

he place of action includes the body, mind and spirit as three layers. Everyone has different degrees of activities with these layers. Yoga practice is to understand the activities of these layers and do our best to bring the relationships of body, mind, and spirit into harmony at a suitable place and time. When we fulfill duties and are detached from the results, free thinking with self-discipline action and an open heart with wisdom, then we can see our Self clearer. Through Hatha Yoga posture practice we learn to listen to the body and cultivate the relationship between body and mind. Through Sāṃkhya Yoga meditation we learn to listen to the voice of the soul and cultivate the relationship between body and soul. Through Bhakti Yoga service we connect with the Super soul and cultivate the relationship between the Self and Divine Presence. To study the knowledge about these relationships we are practicing Jñāna Yoga, and to apply the knowledge in daily life we are practicing Karma Yoga. Haṭha, Sāṃkhya, Bhakti, Jñāna and Karma Yoga, these different forms of Yoga are like 5 fingers of

a hand. Together they lead us to find the divinity of our Self in the heart. None of them can be neglected, and all of these forms of practice are meant for us to know our own strengths and weaknesses. Keep the strengths and strengthen the weak parts. No one is able to be perfect but we can always work towards perfection. From the moon, that has no life, we know how beautiful the earth is. From understanding death we know how valuable life is. From the moment we are born we know everyone’s destination is death. The journey itself is more important than the destination. Let Yoga be a journey for health and happiness; a journey in the heart space to find the beauty of the Self. May we walk along in the softness of our own heart. Ivy’s geography background and travel have given her a unique perspective. Her book A Complete Yoga Manual is a bridge between east and west, modern and ancient, theory and practice. A Complete Yoga Manual by Ivy Xie-McIsaac is available at Singing Pebble Books.

Pathwork: Am I trying too hard? By Mary Anne Bourque

here is inside each of us a desire to be our best self. How to create our life in a way that fulfills this is a quest that lives inside, at the very core of our being. In Pathwork we call this the Real Self. What most often happens is thinking that circumstances and people outside ourselves are the reason we are not able to create what we truly want. One of the stumbling blocks is believing that we need to be perfect. This is the subject of Lecture 29: The Forces of Activity and Passivity – Finding God’s Will. In writing this article I came face to face with this need for perfection. I thought my reason for sharing the wisdom in this Pathwork lecture was to show you the richness of living from a more authentic self that brings ease to living fully – and partially, it was. But as I applied the wisdom in this lecture to my struggle in writing, I looked for the part of my motivation that was just out of my consciousness. I found that I was trying too hard to make it perfect. As is clear in the lecture, my increased frustration was the clue that my motive was one of wanting you to see how wise and, ‘good’ I was. To my surprise I followed the wisdom in this lecture and accepted this part of me that had this ulterior motive. In accepting this part of me that is trying too hard, I felt I could let go and make room for an inner creative energy to guide my reflection. I see how I was pushing in an unproductive way. As Lecture 29 describes: “As long as you do not relinquish or relax this pushing force in the wrong direction, you cannot make order in your soul. Learn to recognize where your desires surge into the wrong directions. If the active pressure of wrong desires is relaxed, you will have much more strength left for the good and proper desires where active force is badly needed but where you are presently too weak”.

What Does Empathy Look Like?

ccording to Judith Orloff, 20% of the population is empathetic. According to Cyndi Dale, an energy medicine expert, there are six empathetic styles. See if you can find yourself in the following: Emotional: You connect with another’s feelings as if they were your own. Without good boundaries, you can’t tell whether you are feeling your own feelings or that of someone else. Mental: You can be speaking with someone and automatically know what they are talking about as if you received a download through intuitive means. Natural: You are the tree hugger, the plant talker, the animal communicator. You are highly in tune with Nature.

Physical: You actually are able to feel the same sensations another person feels. For example, twins can intuitively know if the other is in pain because they are feeling the same pain.

Shamanic: You relate to life using all of the empathetic styles plus something extra – giving you access to the Spirit-Soul-Earth realm that is different from the norm. Spiritual: You sense the Divine and the Divine Will intuitively. You also can read people’s intentions and motives fairly easily and generally, accurately. These styles are revealed to you as you live your life. When they do, it is the Soul knocking at your door asking if you would like to start living your life more consciously. The senses are actually the gateway to the Soul’s gifts, which we refer to as ‘psychic’ gifts. The word ‘psychic’ comes from the Greek word meaning ‘soul-spirit’. The sense gifts according to Cyndi Dale are as follows:

Touch – clairtangency Taste – clairgustance Smell – clairscent Feeling – clairempathy Sensing – clairsentience Knowing – claircognizance Hearing – clairaudience Seeing – clairvoyance

Added to the mix of being an empathetic, psychic individual are Spirit-gifts as defined by Saint-Paul. Again, these gifts are revealed to us as we live our every day life. It is said Great Spirit assigns these Spirit gifts us. We do not choose them. The Word of Knowledge The Word of Wisdom The Gift of Prophesy The Gift of Faith The Gifts of Healing The Working of Miracles The Discerning of Spirits Different Kinds of Tongues The Interpretation of Tongues Most times, when these gifts start manifesting in our life, we become freaked out and frightened because we have not been taught the Language of the Soul. We do not know that we can expect these things to happen through us naturally. When we shut them out because of fear of being crazy or evil, we still secretly wonder in our Heart, what is happening to us and why. If you have such questions, please reach out! We can talk, judgment-free! Perhaps you would benefit from a few classes on the Language of the Soul?

Holotropic Breathwork: An inner exploration tool

olotropic Breathwork (HB), from Greek « holos » – all – and « trepein » – turning toward –, was developed in Esalen, California, during the 1970’s by Stanislav Grof, a Czech psychiatrist, and his wife Christina Grof. Grof is one of the founders of the transpersonal psychology field and a most renowned researcher in the use of modified states of consciousness for exploring, healing and transforming the human psyche. HB provides a safe container for accessing modified states of consciousness that allow us to contact dimensions of our being otherwise out of touch. A one-day workshop has two three-hour breathwork sessions. Participants are paired and alternately will breathe and sit for their breathing partner. Breathwork is done lying on a mat with eyes closed. Through breathing a little faster and deeper than usual and being supported by evocative music, one can explore what comes up during the session. Each session is followed by a period of integration through mandala drawing. After the two sessions of the day, there is a group sharing time of what has been lived and experienced by each person. Grof has developed a cartography of the psyche that helps interpreting and integrating what has been experienced. He proposed three wide territories that can be explored. • The first one is our biography from birth to the present time including potentially repressed wounded areas as well as moments of care or warm presence where we were supported in our growth and identity, and that have been forgotten. • He names the second territory the « perinatal », from our conception until our birth. We can revisit various moments of our intra-uterine life and birth process. Already, the quality of what was offered to us in the womb and during delivery as well as the shocks that may have happened during that period of our life have left imprints that still hold an influence on how we live our present life. • The third territory is the “transpersonal,” which is close to what Jung called the collective unconscious. This territory is vast and allows for so many experiences: being an element of and participating in the mineral, vegetal, animal or sidereal worlds; meeting power animals, archetypal, historical, mythological or imaginary beings, deities, ancestors, etc.

These experiences under modified states of consciousness can be physical, energetic, emotional or visual and metaphoric. They cover a wide spectrum, ranging from ecstasy and delight to confronting more intense and charged areas of our being. Grof proposes the hypothesis that we carry in our psyche an « inner healer » that sustains our growth and wants our healing just like the physical body mobilizes itself to cure an injury. Thus, we come out of a workshop relieved and more awakened, most often with compassion for ourselves, others and the world. There are many breathwork practices but Holotropic Breathwork can be facilitated only by persons who undertook a demanding training of at least two years duration with Grof Transpersonal Training (GTT). The facilitator’s competence is one of the foundations of the safe container that allows one to open to modified states of consciousness. The strict non-directive process, the breather-sitter dyads, the care for safety and wellbeing of participants, the respect of confidentiality of what is lived by each person during a workshop, as well as impeccable ethics, also contribute to the creation of a safe container con- ducive to wonderful discoveries. Holotropic Breathwork is an easy, accessible and safe way to fully experiment what we carry within and what is carrying us.

Spiritual by Passing Self Abandonment and Straightening Our Backbone by Cheyenne Summers “Spiritual bypassing refers to any way in which we use our spirituality to bypass painful emotions.” The emotions may be anguish, sorrow, rage, despair, loneliness, shame, disappointment, contempt. I abandoned myself and covered over the traumatic wound without healing it. It festered. i did this with the highest of intentions believing that being spiritual meant letting go of betrayal, deception, and abuse without diving into the painful feelings. It meant engaging with the spiritual community and rushing forgiveness. Recently, I uncovered yet another blatant lie in a series of them that my former spouse perpetuated among people we both knew and loved so they would turn their backs and lie to me. This was crafted for his financial gain and serious blow to my trust in people and security. It is quite a common occurrence among those with more financial power to deceive their former life partner, friends, and lawyers. These facts are nothing compared to the serious accusations of having an affair and of abusing my child. Neither of which are true.

Dolphin Dentistry Oral Health is Now Essential for Total Health

In fact, my own childhood experience of being abused was a source of his inspiration for spinning these stories - a deeply wounding double betrayal. Did this person who is so self centred believe his own lies? I will never know. The most dangerous kind of lies are those perpetuated by someone who believes them. The saddest thing about betrayal is that it seldom comes from your enemies it comes from the people you trust the most. Love Warrior author Glennon Doyle Melton as seen on Super Soul Sunday said: “Aspects of spiritual bypassing include exaggerated detachment, emotional numbing and repression, overemphasis on the positive, anger-phobia, blind or overly tolerant compassion, weak or too porous boundaries…debilitating judgement about one’s negativity or shadow elements, devaluation of the personal relative to the spiritual, and delusions of having arrived at a higher level of being.” Healing- Once I realised I had abandoned myself in by-passing the pain thus stunting my healing. I jumped on board to face and embrace it. We may wish to say to our pain: “ “Come in. Sit down, and don’t leave until you’ve taught me what I need to know.” … The journey of the Love Warrior is to rush toward (her) pain and let (her) pain become (her) power.” Glennon. My first lesson of my renewed healing journey was self-compassion. Speaking our truth - straightening our back bone (Spinal Health Month) . The ‘me too’ movement was a catalyst to sharing the pain of my newly discovered betrayal with a few trusted friends, family and now with you. It takes courage to step forward and share our pain. This opening to others is essential to understand and embody it; moving us out of our minds and hearts into transformation and action. Speaking out helps others move. Through this, we all become better and compassionate listeners.

A Cedarwood By Any Other Name W ell, I’ve gone and done it. Intrigued by the many cedarwoods available, and knowing how personal scent is, I ordered some new species of cedarwood essential oil. And then wondered. What is the difference in therapeutic properties amongst the four I now stock. So here’s the low down: When I looked at the latin names, I noticed that some were cedrus and others were juniperus. True cedarwood oil comes from comes from Atlas or Himalayan cedar. Virginian and Texas cedars are from the juniper family. None of these should be confused with trees from the Thuja family, which have to be used with extreme caution (we carry cedar leaf which falls into this category). Cedarwood Atlas (Cedrus atlantica) and Cedarwood Himalaya (Cedrus Deodora) can be used as a meditative aid for the calming properties. Not surprisingly, then, it is also attributed to being an aphrodisiac. As with all essential oils, there are many other therapeutic aspects to these oils. It is said to help with dermatitis and acne, as an antiseptic; and for coughs and colds as an expectorant and mucolytic agent. Altas may also assist with hair loss.

Cedarwood Texas (Juniperus ashei) and Cedarwood Virginian (Juniperus virginiana), though not true cedarwoods, still have their uses. And, in fact, share quite a few attributes with their cedar cousins including calming stress, oily skin and scalp and colds. It is also the wood used traditionally to fend off moths. Each scent is distinctive and I invite you to come experience the scent of each of these oils, as well as over 100 other therapeutic grade essential oils from all over the world. Note: If you have any health conditions, please consult with your health professional before using essential oils. ©2018 Heather Garrod is a Certified Aromatherapist and owner of Planet Botanix at 301 Bank St near Somerset.

Mercury Retrograde: How to play it right and win By Jen Wozny

rom November 17 until December 6, the planet Mercury will retrograde, as it does several times per year. When we understand what this three-week period does to our lives, we can use it to our advantage. Generally speaking, the planet Mercury: rules how we communicate; rules our thinking, reasoning, and logic; likes to take things apart and put them back together; and moves quickly. A retrograde period occurs when a given planet is moving away from the Earth. The energy of moving away is like a wave receding from the beach—which exposes the sand that had been covered up. In our lives, retrogrades expose hidden gifts and hidden flaws. When Mercury, specifically, is in retrograde, we might be asked whether we are communicating clearly, thinking logically, and making decisions too quickly. The energy therefore encourages us to proceed more slowly than usual. It also encourages activities that use the “re-“ prefix: reconsider; review; revise; readjust; renew; etc. This is asking us whether any aspect of our lives needs to be course corrected. If so, then Mercury retrograde is the time to realign with the right path, decision, relationship, or strategy. Mercury retrograde is also a natural time of completion. We find that outstanding issues come to a close. Deals are finalized. Relationships are solidified or ended. Goals are accomplished. In summary, when Mercury moves away from Earth, it is time to slow down. Re-examine life. Course correct. And complete outstanding work. “Re-, re-, re-, and complete.”

Demonstrating Love not Demanding Justice by Amâeil (Melinda Urban RIHR)

game of mind control is playing out on the world stage: some people feel entitled to strike out from their hurt and make a huge ruckus. While there’s healthy progress in people asking for respect and to be heard, it’s not progress when someone chooses to push their beliefs and their differences on another, with the anticipation that force will create acceptance. It’s as though there’s a great misunderstanding about what it means to be diverse in our communities. This confusion comes from painful wounding that we all inherited, in personal and planetary timelines, when we were abused, enslaved, and forced to conform. We sometimes felt that anything we did that ‘rocked the boat’ only led to greater pain. It seems only naturally human to get angry about that upon awakening to truth. However, there’s also a dark force exploitation of people’s triggers occurring. As planned, we’re seeing humanity swing back and forth from being oppressed and victimized, to the polarity of aggressively demanding justice, pushing back with more discrimination, and even sometimes expecting unreasonable entitlement,

all in the name of gaining back power. But it’s a false power. And it’s still feeding the victim-victimizer and divide-and-conquer programs. When we feel that we must push ourselves onto others there is some imbalance within, and some unmet need. Meeting that need will never come from our outer reality, only the inner. Self-responsibility requires that we see the program, stop blaming external forces, and look at what is out of balance in our relationship with ourselves. We can heal trauma and fragmented sub-personalities, and synthesize these polarities. Then we truly have acceptance: we respect others and don’t expect others to respect us. Mutual respect will occur simply because we accept ourselves. It’s about demonstrating love, to ourselves and all others, not demanding justice. Please read the full article on this excerpt: www.

The True Meaning of Health

is time. Unlike an injury, a trauma, a meal, or a training session, which are all events – healing is a process. In fact, think of your health not as a “problem” to solve, but instead as an ongoing “project” to work on. By giving your body what it needs and restoring its function to 100%, every person has the potential to be optimally well, overcome health challenges, adapt to their environment and, in short, live a full, productive and happy life. Life By Design and chiropractic help your body and everyone’s body, be at their best.

e’ve been lied to. We’ve been taught to believe that the absence of symptoms means health and the presence of symptoms means sickness. While it is true symptoms can sometimes tell us how sick we are, the lack of them can never give us information about how healthy we are.

Painting with Words

Ian Prattis hen I published my last book, Our World is Burning, I thought I would study the writing craft more deeply. But first I had to clean out my filing cabinet, which was a total mess. I tossed stuff out and then came across a yellowing folder. It was full of forty years of my poems. Most of it was garbage but there were enough gems to create a volume made from six very different moods. This one comes from Part 5: Speaking of True Love. The volume will be published early in 2019.

Dance of the Eyes Behind a plow of words a poet drives a furrow, never straight. Phrases spiral upwards as an eagle soars in a sky with no horizon or meter.

www.spiritpainting.com

Cascading into passages that hover, tracing cosmic runes at the edge of knowing. Words drift by on the morning mist, a whisper of wind haunts every thought I breathe. Enter the Muse - waiting wondrous so long to grant life to this poem on dancing with the eyes Slow pirouette of eyes turning en pointe, knowing glimpses dancing with joy. Our soft spoken adoration blows on dandelions, creating parasols drifting to fertile ground. The waltz of happiness, exhilaration of vigorous reels leave all sadness behind â&#x20AC;&#x201C; a funeral march to banish pain elsewhere. That was all before our eyes danced together. My life lives in each glance of your eyes. Cradled in the mosaic of green lustre smiling from you. Gently lifting my heart you reach how deep we bind together. Connecting where the universe begins and ends. Delicate curves of elegant quadrilles, staccato intensity of flamenco and the peace of loving serenade. We dance with our eyes, sneezy jive, convulsive samba, cheek to cheek smooch.

How To Be Your Own Saviour Part 3 of 3

lucked into this saviour character and I become my assertive self. I was aware that I needed something. I needed a gigantic kick in the butt, a gigantic shock to my soul in order to get me moving. I was coming back from a couple of attempted suicides as a kid, as a child I should say, as a teenager. Just fighting it off wasn’t enough. It was just consistently not living my life or my purpose, not manning up, not being the man I needed to be in the world. I was fearful, being fearful of this and that and trying to kowtow to other people, doing what other people expected of me or wanted of me. So, I’d get the most amount of people to like me. When I gave up validation, when I gave up people liking me, I became more successful in all areas of my life. In my career, in my business, in my relationship and more importantly, nothing more important than my relationship with myself. I gave up all that BS. So how are you going to become the saviour of yourself? After this podcast or right now, pull out a piece of paper. Write down what your challenge is. Write down where you’re stuck. Write down where you want to be, what the next level of your life is and who you need to become in order to get there, how you need to look. Yes, how you need to look. That’s how other people buy into it as well. How you look when you look in the mirror. What’s your avatar? We have avatars online. What’s your avatar in the real world? What’s your avatar the way you look in the real world - telling the world how to interact with you and how

to treat you? What beliefs do you need to have? Most importantly what actions do you need to take each and every day whether it’s sun, sleet or shine, whether it’s winter, summer, spring or autumn, whether you feel like it or not, whether you are tired or not, whether you think it’s working or not. Who is it that you need to create that will get you through these things? What other beliefs you need to have? The daily practices that you need to do so you start to metamorphosize, transform to that being, to that saviour, to that hero. Because I am not your saviour. God is not your saviour. Buddha is not your saviour. Muhammad is not your saviour. Jim Jones is not your saviour. David Koresh is not your saviour. L. Ron Hubbard is not your saviour. Paris Hilton, Kim Kardashian are not your saviours. Katy Perry is not your saviour. The King, the Queen, the President, the Prime Minister are not your saviour. Only one person cares about you truly from day one until the day you’re no longer here on Earth. You know who that is? You. You’re the only person who really cares about you and your problems. Everyone else is way too centred on their own issues. So you need to create this character. You need to become this character and what you need to do is you need to remove the person that you are inside. No, I’m not advocating suicide. Not at all! Do not get me wrong. But you need to remove that character, that weak character that’s been accepted, that’s been told they have to live a certain way. Y there’s that feeling of this rusty screw inside their brain that says, “This doesn’t feel right. Aren’t I more than this? Can’t I be more than

Quantum-Touch Therapy and Carp Ridge EcoWellness Centre

Aileen M. McKenna, Certified Quantum-Touch® Therapy Practitioner/Instructor, Law of Attraction and Empathic Life Coach, Certified Facilitator, Open Space Technology, and Small Group Processes esterday morning I took a drive out to Carp Ridge to visit the Centre, following up on my decision to begin offering my Quantum-Touch Therapy Level I training in a larger space. I’d not seen the Centre, although I knew a lot about it, and I was stunned by how lovely it is, and by my reaction to the beautiful, natural environment, and the absolute match it is for teaching a natural healing modality. During my time of learning and practicing handson healing modalities, I was always stunned by how simple it is to do this work, and by how powerful it can be. And my awareness of how much stronger it is when the practitioner can move beyond their initial need to do it well, and to simply following the instructions to breath and run energy, and to then get out of the way. Quantum-Touch Therapy Level I, is the modality that stresses the need to simply hold the space, to leave the ego at the door, and to simply allow the intelligence of the body to create the change it needs and to heal the body from the inside out, going back into the original cause of the condition so that all the various factors involved can be healed. As practitioners, we witness the emotional responses to our work, as the body releases those deeply stored emotions sometimes in the form of tears, sometimes with body shaking, sometimes as anger, and sometimes as fear of the unknown. During our training, we learn that these responses are all perfectly natural as bodies are able to eliminate these aspects of trauma, and thus the healing takes place on all levels, and is, therefore, complete healing. Consider joining us at the end of November, 2018 as we offer our first QT Level I training at the idyllic site at Carp Ridge.

Three Yoga Poses for Spinal Health by Susan Dawson-Cook Try doing the bird dog, cat and cow, and locust to help your spine The column of vertebral bodies and arches that make up your spine are key to comfortable movement in and out of the water. A healthy spine is both flexible and stable, with a comfortable balance of what the sage Patanjali describes in his book of the yoga sutras as steadiness (sthira) and ease (sukha). The 24 articulating vertebrae of the spine are supported by cartilaginous discs, capsular joints, and spinal ligaments. Five lumbar vertebrae (L1-L5) sit in the base of the spine above the sacrum and the tailbone, which consist of fused vertebrae that don’t flex or bend. Stacked above the lumbar vertebrae sit 12 thoracic vertebrae (T1-T12). Seven vertebrae make up the cervical spine (C1-C7) or neck area. Yoga postures, or asanas, can facilitate a healthy cervical, thoracic, and lumbar spine—one that freely flexes forward and laterally, extends, and rotates within normal limits. The bird dog, cat and cow, and locust poses work in different ways to facilitate movement and stability in the spine. For best results, perform these asanas after a series of sun salutations or a bout of aerobic activity when your muscles are warm and more flexible. The “no pain, no gain” philosophy should be discarded when practicing yoga. Breath, or pranayama, is the most vital component of yoga and should always lead the way when moving into and sustaining the postures. Breathe long and slow and smooth, feeling expansion in your abdomen, rib cage, and chest. Notice the subtleties of your breath. Taking deep breaths will help you become more aware of breath quality and how proper alignment enables you to take longer, more restorative breaths. Consult with a physician before doing these poses. This is imperative if you recently injured your back or have had spinal surgery. Bird Dog (Dandayamna Bharmanasana) Benefits Many physical therapy programs prescribe this exercise to patients experiencing back problems, with good reason. The bird dog strengthens the multifidus muscles—muscle fibersFinalShot1163 along the back of your spine spanning several vertebral segments. Researchers and physicians have established that these muscles play a key role in stabilizing the lower back and pelvis and maintaining a healthy back.

Without muscular support, the spine is fragile. That’s one reason why back injuries are so common. Many people engage in lifting and bending and other activities that place undue stress on their spine, while few properly train the appropriate muscles to endure these activities. Performing the bird dog regularly will strengthen the multifidus muscles, help properly align the spinal vertebrae, and enable your spine to move more freely without injury. This exercise will also strengthen other deep core muscles and improve balance.

How to Execute Start on your hands and knees with your hands shoulder-width apart (fingers spread) and your knees hip-width apart. Start with a neutral spine, keeping your head in alignment with your spine and your gaze toward your mat. Slowly extend your right leg back— gently flexing your foot—and your left arm forward, thumb facing the sky. Reach your hand forward a little more, lengthening through your spine. Your raised heel should be no higher than the level of your pelvis to prevent any uncomfortable arching of the back (and loss of core control). Lift up slightly in your belly and level your pelvis if it feels as though it has “tipped.” Roll the supporting shoulder back and away from your ear. Maintain this position for five to 10 breaths. Sit back in child’s pose for a few breaths to relax before switching sides. Another option is to inhale on the extension, exhale as you lower your limbs, and continue with this movement pattern, alternating sides, until you’ve done eight to 12 repetitions on each side. Cat and Cow (Marjaryasana and Bitilasana) Benefits Cat and cow will gently open and close the spaces between the vertebrae, facilitating more comfortable movement of the spine. It will also improve flexibility of the shoulders, abdomen,FinalShot1165 and hips. This asana may relieve menstrual cramps, lower back pain, and even pain associated with sciatica. Cat and cow awakens the second chakra, the swadhisthana chakra, which can enhance creativity and concentration and reduce feelings of depression.

How to Execute Start on your hands and knees with your hands below your shoulders and shoulder-width apart and your knees under your hips and hip-width apart. The tops of your feet should be on your mat. Think about initiating movements from your tailbone as if there’s an energy current moving through your spine. This will help your movements feel more fluid and facilitate awakening of your body’s chakras, or energy centers.

To move into cat, slowly begin to tuck your hips and round your spine up toward the sky as you drop your gaze toward your navel. To move into cow, slowly lower your belly button toward the floor and raise your head and hips. Match your movement with your breath, transitioning from cat to cow in a slow, fluid manner. Perform five to 10 times.

Your arms should be parallel to the floor, fingertips reaching back, your upper arms pushing upward as if they’re supporting weight. Your hands may rest alongside your body, rather than being elevated, if you feel pain in your lower back. Keep your gaze toward the front or slightly down and keep your shoulders relaxed and away from your ears, neck long, jaw muscles relaxed. Imagine lengthening your body from the toes to the crown of your head. Stay here for five to 10 breaths. To enhance stretching in your shoulders and chest, interlace your fingers behind your back, lengthen your arms, squeeze your shoulder blades together, and open the outsides of your shoulders. Susan Dawson-Cook has a 200 RYT Yoga Alliance certification in Ashtanga yoga and has been an AFAA certified personal trainer and group exercise instructor since 1990. She’s the author of Fitter Than Ever at 40 and Beyond and the producer of Personal Best Stretch: Move Better Than Ever.

Locust (Salabasana) Benefits The locust strengthens the erector spinae muscles, gluteals, and hamstrings, improving posture and back health. It also stretches the shoulders and chest and prepares the body forFinalShot1116 deeper backbends.

Christian Meditation Event Saturday, Nov. 24, 9:30am-12:30pm

How to Execute Start on your belly with your arms at your sides, forehead on your mat, palms facing up. On your next exhale, gently squeeze your legs together and then inhale, raising your torso, arms, and lower legs up off the ground. Imagine pressing your pelvis into the floor. This will keep your lower back stable as you gradually move into this backbend. Reach your fingers back, palms up, slowly lifting your legs and torso up a little farther if you don’t feel discomfort in your lower back.

The Divine Within Channelled by Lisa Virtue

oes your heart know what is true? We ask ourselves frequently to rely on what our hearts tell us. Yet do we know what we are asking of ourselves? We have the sense that there is a feeling that comes from a loving place that knows what is right. We often connect that feeling with the heart-centre in the body. We look for a moral compass to guide our thoughts, direction and interactions. What are we really accessing though? How often have you felt tortured through your own emotions? Emotions are wonderful indicators of how you are relating to something. The wounds in our lives are very often at play when we struggle so. We have some kind of learning or underlying thought or belief that is holding us in opposition to our bliss. So if we relied on our emotions to tell us the truth, we could be lead wildly astray. Thus we come around to “The Divine Within.” In reality, this is what we are intending to connect with to guide us and lead us well in our lives. The inner being is that aspect of the Divine that is expressing as us. This is the part able to access Divine knowing. The ability to perceive this essence within you is available to all humans. It is a quiet, emotion-less aspect that knows what is true. It knows your life intentions from your spirit’s perspective and has that innate sense always present, always able to be felt. Clearing the clutter of our minds, emotions and distractions is what makes this part of us easier to hear and to access. Soothing oneself on the levels needed to have a calm state of inner listening is all you require. An openness to perceiving this subtle knowing is extremely helpful. How do you see yourself tuning in to your truth if you are not willing to believe it when you hear it? Once you have perceived and accepted it, know that its guidance is truth. Let us illustrate this for you. Imagine you are walking up to an intersection. You see a signpost indicating your destination is to the left. However you know that it is actually to the right. You trust your knowing and go to the right, finding your destination where you knew it to be. What about the signpost? If one went solely on logic and evidence, then following the signpost would have been the conclusion. The result likely bringing frustration, at the least. How often do our minds use logic to fight with us about what decision we should make? The mind is very good at rationalizing all of the data it has collected and made conclusions about and connections between. It will tell you how, rationally, this must be the way. Yet we are not always led to our preferences. Signposts can be moved, after all.

Now is a time where people are choosing, demanding even, that another way must be found. They are no longer satisfied with the results mind-only based directions have led us toward. So now is the time of the soul, the re-emergence of inner-based guidance. Take the time to listen to your inner knowing. Have enough faith in your own divine being within to take steps in that direction. Pioneers are needed to show the way with this “new” way of living. Those of us willing to risk challenge and promote change, even if it is only within ourselves, will make a grand difference to all beings. Promoting the wisdom of the inner knowing above the fear-based thought patterns brings one into a sense of harmony, flow and interrelationship with life itself. You are capable of honing this divine awareness within yourself. There simply needs to be the will to do so. Take it as you can. Try when you remember. Let your discord be a reminder to go within. Peace is found from the wisdom of the Divine within you. Know it is always available, and as you choose to give less weight or importance to the distractions and opinions of the outside world, or the mind-based conclusions, you will find a growing sense of this inner being. It will become easier to access. Be in love with your inner sense and fly free in the feeling of knowing, truly, what is right for you. With absolute love of you, Your Divine Essences, together, collaborating as One. Lisa Virtue is a channel and gifted healer. She is returning to Ottawa November 25th – Dec 4th. Please schedule your inperson session with her early, as spots will fill quickly. Lisa will also be holding Classes and offering Channelling and Sound & Crystals healing events.

The Key Ingredient For Empowered Decision-Making

noise”; and we don’t even know it’s there, but it is. Adding all that also to the noise of other people’s opinions around us, makes us wonder how we can stay focused on anything at all that requires our attention! The cost of all this is significant; because it blocks us from having clarity in our thinking; and from hearing that “inner-voice” of our intuition. You see: We all have intuition that is an invaluable tool for empowered decision-making. Steve jobs reinforces this by stating: “Our heart and our intuition already know what we truly want, and that everything else is secondary”. Therefore, our primary task is to release those trapped emotions so we can tune-in, listen, and hear better. And this is what we must all do. My name is Sacha Horvath and I’m a certifiedtherapist. I have helped over a thousand clients and am committed to helping people to discover how they can live a better life because I believe “Feeling Great Matters”. I empower clients right from the outset by having them tap into their blockage source and work on releasing their trapped emotions within – typically within 2-8 sessions. Afterward, clients tell me that they feel liberated, rejuvenated and empowered; and they move on. They normally see lasting results in every area of their lives – whether it be in relationships, finances, or in health. The things that previously held them back, no longer have power over them. If I can leave you with one final thought, it’s this: Remember: “it is FALSE to believe that the past can remain in the past without it impacting your present and your future”. If you neglect dealing with your childhood traumas, the resultant trapped emotions will keep-on accumulating to increasingly weigh you down until they become resolved. As such, no matter how large or small they may be --they can take a toll on your life that can cost you a very high price. If what I shared with you today resonates and would like more information to explore your options so you can make better decisions, - then feel free to book a nofee, no-obligation 20-minute session with me, and I’ll be glad to speak with you. Also, if you are a coach and/ or therapist and are interested in learning about my approach, feel free to connect.

ave you ever had a challenge in making decisions? You know what I mean – should I take this job opportunity or not; should I continue to work on my marriage or get a divorce; should I challenge the diagnosis I just got from my doctor, or just resign myself to a regiment of pills for the rest of my life? How can we know what to do for making the right decision; and how can we be sure? Some rely on brainstorming, going back and forth in their mind over the pros and cons ad nauseum, while others rely on their feelings or listen to everyone else but themselves for making critical decisions that affect their lives. However, they give away their power.. when they should instead be taking their power back. This is what Steve Jobs meant when he stated: “Don’t let the noise of other people’s opinion drown-out your own inner voice.” What if you could tap a source DEEP within you, that is readily accessible which could give you a clear sense of direction with a certainty that your decisions are on target. Would you be interested in discovering the hidden genius deep within you for empowered decision-making? THE KEY INGREDIENT for making “empowered” decision-making lies in the power of our intuition. In this article, I’m addressing the importance of breaking through the emotional barriers of childhood traumas that prevent us from tuning in, hearing, and listening to our inner voice, or as Steve Jobs calls it, our inner knowledge. The dictionary defines intuition as “the ability to understand something spontaneously, without the need for conscious reasoning.” In order to access our “inner voice” deep within, it is crucial that we learn to quiet our mind. Developing a meditation practice and interests allows you to connect to the present moment as in the case of being in nature and connecting to your body’s sensation. That is a good way to start. Through my research and studies, I discovered that 90% of our current pain, stress and suffering stems from trapped emotions from our past going back to childhood. These trapped emotions can provoke feelings of inadequacy in our lives, such as: being a bad parent or partner; feelings of being a failure and stagnating; feelings of shame and guilt; feelings of being bored, dissatisfied and unfulfilled; and ultimately, feelings of emptiness and feeling totally ALONE. So why am I bringing this up and why is this so important? It is because these trapped emotions from childhood end-up creating SACHA HORVATH, M.A., CCC 613-324-3120 much inner noise inside our head, that becomes like “white
