In Harmony The existence of Harmony already ‘IS’ in all things at all times. It simply ‘IS’. Harmony is the awareness of the impact you are having on the worlds around you. Yes there are many worlds and kingdoms full of many layers and levels of living creatures. These creatures are affected by you at every moment and breath you grace this planet with. To BE in Harmony is to know this and breathe it in and out… love, respect, awareness and appreciation for all living things including those you may see and notice and those that are working beyond the ‘scenes’ of YOU R existence. Harmony is allowing all to co-exist and strengthen each-other through Love. To reflect All the Light that you already are. This is Harmony. This is available within you at all times in every dimension. If you choose to live in Harmony. © Angela Ohlman www.loveheals.ca

Shift Your Attention By Marlene and Bob Neufeld There are three main ways that people’s attention get’s caught: 1. Sometimes our attention gets caught inside of ourselves. We are focused on our own pain, our misery, on how we are at the effect of others. We may see ourselves as victims…of others, of our own behaviour, of circumstances. 2. At other times, our attention gets caught outside of ourselves, on others. We are focused on what others have done wrong, how they don’t measure up, on what we need from them. We may be caught in blame, and/ or on how we can help other people. 3. At yet other times, our attention has gone “up and diffuse”. We may be spacey, and/or ungrounded. As one of our clients says, at that time his partner is “out of touch with reality”. Whenever our attention is caught in any of these three ways, we are not free. We are thinking inside of a box. We are not accessing our full creative potentials. When your attention is captured, you’re convinced of your point of view, how it is. Rather than your attention getting caught by one thing, or at one end of the in/out spectrum, you have a choice of where you place your attention.

One of the simplest ways to get ourselves out of the box, is to practice shifting attention. Our teachers, Drs. Gay & Kathlyn Hendricks call this practice “Loop of Awareness”. Loop of Awareness involves placing your curious nonjudgmental attention on something inside yourself, then placing your curious non-judgmental attention on someone or something outside yourself, then continuing to oscillate your attention in and out. One of our clients recently noticed that her attention would get caught on whether others approved of her or not. She chose to add self-approval to her loop of awareness. She committed to practicing loop of awareness, and every time she brought her attention back to herself she would give herself a little bit of approval, mentally saying something like “You are a good person.” The purpose of Loop of Awareness is to free your attention. The short form of Loop of Awareness is: • Turn your attention out to the room or another person or thing with an internal hmmmmmm. • Turn your attention to yourself generating curiosity with hmmmmm. • Continue shifting back and forth. Here are some questions from Dr. K Hendricks to increase your explorations around loop of awareness. • Notice your own pace and pattern of shifting

attention. Do you send attention out more often than in? Do you focus in more than out? What is it you shift when you shift your awareness? Your eyes? • Play with shifting your attention quickly and slowly. • What is the rhythm of your oscillation? In other words, if you were to count along with the time you spend focusing attention on another person as compared to focusing attention on yourself, what would the ratio be? • Notice whether your focus is narrow or wide. Try noticing the quality of light in the room, then your breathing, then the movement of another person’s hand, noticing your posture, another person’s posture. • What are the themes in what you notice in others and in yourself? Examples: what hurts, what’s not moving, the other person’s face. • What captures your attention and stops the loop? Examples: critical thoughts, a frown or grimace, loud noises. • What do you characteristically add to curious attention? Examples: needing to do it right, evaluations, approvalseeking. • How can you promote a flow of curious attention? Loop of Awareness refreshes energy, keeps us vital and clear. It is useful in all interactions keeping us in the present moment. Developed by Kathlyn Hendricks, Ph.D., A.D.T.R. of The Hendricks Institute; www.hendricks.com.

What is in a song?

ow we feel and how comfortable we are in our skin is reflected in both our singing and speaking voice. Have you noticed how you can tell if someone is stressed or joyful as soon as you hear their voice over the phone or in person? The same is so for music. Listen to a song: how was the composer feeling when they wrote the music? Were they working through the loss of a lover or at ease with their life? How do you feel when you listen to the music? Where in your body do you feel it? Is there a tensing up or a relaxing and letting go that happens when you listen? What does it make you want to do: dance, cry, storm out of the room? Try listening to a piece of instrumental classical music. Without words, the colors of the instruments’ voices help to convey emotions. Several relationships are happening. The first is an internal one within the composer as s/he takes an experience of life and creates music out of it. Next is between the composer and the performance artist. The performer chooses the song because they can relate to the story and feelings in some way. As the listener, we are in relationship with both the composer and the performer, though rarely do we distinguish between the two. What is in a song? The words tell a story of some kind. Listening to the music, we hear the beat. Is it fast or slow? Does it relax or invigorate you? We hear a melody. Is it in a major (happy) or minor (sad) key? Some people refer to major keys as sending our attention or energy outward, and minor keys as bringing us inward, as if to ponder something. Then we have harmony. What kinds of chords are used: are they simple and clear or more complex as used in jazz and some twentieth century classical? Are the sounds generally congenial and harmonious or are they clashy and chaotic? How do you feel when you hear them? I worked with a child whose life had been engulfed with chaos and tension. In exploring an autoharp, he discovered the difference between the musical chaos of the open strings and the consonance or harmony that happened when the strings were used to make a chord. His joy in discovering he could use the instrument to have a pleasing conversation with me as I sang was wonderful. I sensed that in his lifetime moments like that had been extremely rare. This experience was a turning point in his relationships with himself and the world. Music therapy is often about helping people to find their inner harmony through the blending of music and the therapeutic relationship. Music offers wonderful opportunities to explore emotions and life experiences, whether centered on discussions of song lyrics, the physical sensations of sound on the body as it releases blocks, or simply letting the music do the talking while enjoying singing or playing together. Pamela Holm is an accredited music therapist, and intuitive healer working with sound, energy and past lives in the Ottawa area.

Introduction to

A Course in Miracles The modern spiritual classic, A Course in Miracles, appears in the writings of spiritual teachers such as Eckhart Tolle, Marianne Williamson, Wayne Dyer, Deepak Chopra, and Gerald Jampolsky, who founded Attitudinal Healing based on the Course’s principles. But what is it? This introductory course will provide a solid foundation for understanding this immensely practical path of spiritual awakening, focusing on A Course in Miracles’ radically transformative teachings on love, forgiveness, miracles, inner peace, and healing––and their powerful effect on our lives.

High FSH and Acupuncture By Steve Ryu, L.Ac.

any women with high FSH (Follicle Stimulation Hormone) and /or POF (Premature Ovarian Failure) are told there is nothing that Western medicine can do to improve their chances of conception. However, utilizing acupuncture in conjunction with Chinese medicine can reduce FSH levels and improve egg quality by ensuring optimum health, increasing blood flow, and balancing reproductive hormones, as well as reducing stress—another common factor in infertility. Once a woman’s natural level of follicular stimulating hormone rises above 12 for a few menstrual cycles and her cycle shortens or even ceases, most doctors practicing Western medicine will tell her that fertility treatment cannot help her. Women in a situation like this cannot easily enter an IVF program. Often such a woman is told that she is going into early menopause and is diagnosed as having low or no egg reserves. There is another scenario where a woman does have FSH below 12 but her eggs are of poor quality or her egg reserves are low. “A women fitting into this scenario is often advised to consider IVF as soon as possible or IVF with donor eggs. While this may give a woman a baby, it will do nothing to address the underlying failure of the ovaries which will indirectly affect her other bodily and mental functions later in life. The quality of the egg to be fertilized is highly dependent upon the health of the body and hormonal balance. Based on my clinical experience, high FSH and poor egg quality reflect a poor state of health, rather than the inability to conceive. A healthy more balanced body will conceive more naturally, and be able to carry a healthy baby to term. This TCM treatment protocol was inspired by the same principle we use daily in running the landscape irrigation system for a house. If our goal is greener grass in the backyard, we first need direct more water flow to the backyard. That means increasing the watering time or turning up the flow volume for the backyard, and at the same time reduce the watering time and decreasing the flow volume to the front yard, if the water supply is limited. When the egg-bearing follicles are bathed with constant, uninterrupted supply of hormone, nutrients free of autoimmune attacks, they will flourish. However this change is not due to the Chinese medicine supplementing the body but to it stimulating the production of hormones within the body. Thus the Chinese medicine contains only an extremely small amount of hormones as the active ingredients. Among the infertility patients who have high FSH or are advanced in age and have poor egg-production, some are unfortunately have DNA issues that can’t be helped. My heart goes out for them. However, some of these patients can

see an improvement when TCM treatment is applied. The best way to find out if an infertility patient can improve the egg quality or quantity is to try this protocol. If it works, the patient will have a baby with next IUI or IVF. If it does not work, the patient will have the comfort of knowing that she has done her best in giving her eggs the best environment to grow and that it may be time to move on to the next step such as donor eggs. Another benefit from acupuncture treatment will be that it can help management of stress level. Our body will not conceive under high levels of stress. Stress and other negative emotions disrupt hormonal communication between the brain, the pituitary and the ovaries, which causes an imbalance in hormonal function. Such imbalances can lead to irregular cycles, lack of ovulation and high FSH. In addition, stress over stimulates the sympathetic nervous system, which causes constriction of ovarian arteries and shifts blood flow away from reproductive organs, and results in a shut down of egg production in the ovaries. In order to build a healthy, naturally fertile body and balance deeper underlying causes, a patient is recommended to commit to at least 3 months of acupuncture and herbal treatment, allowing her to bring your system back to its optimal function. Since follicular development takes three cycles to be mature, and in order to ensure good egg quality, it is better to start treatment at the primary stage. Remember, nature cannot be forcibly rushed into balance, having enough preparation time is essential for the body to adjust and for conception to succeed.

Crystal of the Month by Karen Osborne www.ascensionhealing.ca 613.798.2828

Labradorite

Inner Rainbows, Cosmic Light, Magic, Protection, Destiny and Potential

abradorite is one of my all time favourite stones. It is a great bringer of Cosmic light that raises our consciousness and connects us with the Star Nations and our Ancestors. Wearing or carrying Labradorite floods our aura with a rainbow of colours, including offplanet colours and frequencies that cannot be perceived with ordinary human vision. The effect is one of protection and happiness. These frequencies encourage a positive outlook and help to seal our aura; both make us less vulnerable to toxic energies and attachments. Labradorite’s iridescence allows us to shine brightly while mitigating any drain that we, ourselves, or others may place on our life force energy. It is a great stone for anyone who works in hospitals, does counselling work or is involved in any other kind of healing profession. Extra ‘flash’ Labradorite, like the one in the photo, comes from magical Madagascar although it is found in many countries, including Labrador, Canada, from which its name derives. The inner rainbows or ‘flash’ are not always immediately visible on first glance. Sometimes we have to turn the stone, looking deeper and from different angles in order to see them. In this way Labradorite reminds us of the need to look ever deeper within ourselves to discover our own inner rainbows and magic. Labradorite helps us remember that we are Cosmic beings on an Earthly walk. By awakening us to our inner magic, it helps us to remember why we are here and what we came here to do. It works to reveal our own amazing potential to ourselves by bringing awareness to the gifts and abilities that live within us. It encourages belief in those abilities, and in their development and fulfillment. At the same time, Labradorite is a great dispeller of fear and illusion. It encourages uniqueness and discourages looking to others to determine what’s best for us. It helps us to understand that the answers we seek can only be found within. It is a great aid to any inner journeying process that seeks to discover and heal the origins of issues and imbalances.

Planning to Succeed By Lynne Cardinal All the successful people I’ve studied share two important qualities: they know where they’re going, and they’re prepared to put in whatever work is necessary to get them from where they are now to where they want to be. Everyone has the potential to move in the direction of their dreams. The pre-requisite? Wanting it! For example, if you desire more energy, then look for ways to be energized. Try various techniques and tools; eat high-quality foods that vitalize your mind and body, and keep at it until you’ve mastered how to live the way you wish to. There are many proven techniques for achieving your dreams: hypnosis, meditation, and positive thinking are just a few— and all of these avenues work. They each have great power in and of themselves. But disciplining yourself to meditate daily, to objectively observe your thought patterns, to add thoughts that are more inspiring, positive, and empathetic towards ourselves and others is not so easily done. If you observe professional musicians, they spend more time practicing than they do performing. Most successful athletes are the same. Each of these groups also knows what perfection looks like. They mentally carry out the actions, know they’ve succeeded, and then experience the feeling of elation that comes with success. Perhaps more importantly they also learn not to feel bad when they don’t get it right. They treat it all as a process. They simply persevere. By contrast, many people feel bad when their dreams or aspirations don’t happen to materialize. I often say: “Disappointment takes adequate planning.” So why not plan in the direction of your dreams? You can’t just be happy, but you can learn to do things happily with a sense of ease and appreciation. You can learn to enjoy what you’re doing, be it sleeping, socializing, or working, and in this way you can add multiple dimensions of joy to your life. Hypnosis is a powerful means of achieving your dreams. It can help you develop the discipline you need to reach your goal, whether that’s to meditate daily and enjoy the results of meditation or to direct your thoughts in a more positive way to cultivate a mindset of joy. Whatever your dream is, hypnosis can help bring it into focus and naturally propel you towards action by calling on the power of your inner resources. Hypnosis will help you with achieving willpower to exercise, lose weight, feel confident, sleep better, and also helps with pain management. Millions of people practice hypnotism regularly and millions report that it has worked for them. Why not give it a try?

Working With Tree Essences – PART 2

By Gulabo (aka Celine Cloutier) ow do you introduce tree essences to someone you meet for the first time? You may be a healing practitioner speaking to a client or serving a customer in a natural food store. After a healing session: I will introduce the concept of emotional support when I feel it is appropriate. If not, I may wait for another meeting. Otherwise, I point out everything we do to support the body, the mind and people around us etc… And I also speak about what we do for ourselves? How do we support our feelings? How do we face our guilt, disappointments, regrets, anger or sadness? I may talk about how the great physician Dr. Bach found that plants seemed to have an effect on people emotionally and how he developed a line of flower essences dealing with the different states humans may go through. And how, since the 1930’s and after thousands of positive stories, people have transformed their well beings. Then, I introduce our Tree Essences in part as a continuity of his work, using trees to deal with today’s challenges. Depending on their questions about the subject and their reception, I will proceed by explaining that essences work via resonance, meaning your vibration and the tree’s vibration. It is a little bit like music, which I often use as example. Because at this point, the person in front of you may need more concrete words. I proceed to explain that Vibration is like the sounds and feelings we experience when we listen to a beautiful piece of music and how it particularly touches our heart and soul… I may give another example of a walk in the forest. I ask if they are close to some trees or if they enjoy a particular tree or if they enjoy going to the country and why. I may add that trees are the oldest beings on this planet and actually the largest being that may have ever existed lives in California. It is a giant Sequoia, which I had the privilege to be in the presence of and what a beautiful experience that was. Over 2000 years old! Then depending on where my client is with all that information, I will most likely suggest an essence and most of the time two, working synergistically. I will explain why I feel these essences will bring support. I will bring out the strengths and qualities I feel this person has and how the trees will help those to shine.

October 2011

When we do not have much time to speak with the person such as in a store When there is not much time to speak due to circumstances such as in a store or other type of work, I ask simple questions such as: A. Describe in one or two sentences where you are in your life right now and how you generally feel. This describes her state in the moment. What is urgent and important to take care of? B. Do you have any physical challenges? That gives me emotional clues as to what her body is trying to say. C. What are your strengths and what do you want for yourself? This will point out what we need to work on even more. There are no precise recipes for using essences. You will familiarize yourself with them and they will generously do their magic on us. As to how to introduce them, you will also get more agile at sharing them, coming mostly from your own experiences and what you will begin to notice with people around you. We are not selling something; we are sharing our passion and love for health, joy, peace and as a consequence, making a better and happier world. The trees have their ways….. Namasté. Gulabo is co-creator of Canadian Forest Tree Essences (www.essences.ca) and works with individuals focusing on their inner growth and consciousness through essences and mediation.

Is Your Headache Really A Bars Ache?

hat’s a “Bars ache?” The Bars are a series of 32 points on the head, each of which correlates to a particular area of our life. These include money, body, sexuality, control, awareness, joy and sadness just to name a few. They can occasionally be activated by our activities of daily life, which can cause us to experience a feeling of intensity in those points on our head. Where on your head do you experience your personal headaches? If you learned that the location of your headaches revealed issues and energies to be cleared, rather than being an “organic” cause, would you be so quick to take a painkiller? What if your headache were really a Bars ache? These points were discovered by Gary Douglas, founder of Access Consciousness, over 20 years ago. Since then thousands of people world-wide have had the experience of having their “Bars run,” (meaning those 32 points on the head gently touched) with overwhelmingly positive results. Having your “Bars run” is a relaxing experience. All that’s required of you as the recipient is to lie down, relax, and receive. The giver of the session touches the specific points on your head (the Bar points are the end of the bars, which extend energetically through your head as a bar of energy, hence naming them “The Bars.”) with very light pressure. The worst that can happen after an hour long Bars session is you’ll feel like you had great massage. The best that can happen is your whole life can change. What if you’ve never heard of the Bars? Can you still be experiencing a Bars ache? It has been known to happen. One young woman attended an introductory seminar in Access Conscious at the invitation of some close friends. She had never even heard of the Bars, let alone had them run. Not long into the meeting, she found herself experiencing an excruciating headache. Even though she was not familiar with the Bars, they had turned on nonetheless. The intensity she was experiencing as pain was the feeling of her Bars awakening. She received a session of Bars, her headache was immediately and seemingly magically relieved, and no aspirin was required. So where do your headaches start? Wherever they start, chances are good there’s a Bar located there. Do they start at the back of your head, a typical place for many migraines to start? That’s the power band, where all of our considerations about what power means lie. Or are your headaches more in the front of your head? If they’re centered above your eyebrows, those would be the bars that pertain to joy and sadness. How about headaches on the side of the head? If they’re above the ear or behind it, they could be related to control, awareness, or creativity. More to the front, on the side of the temple, points are found which relate to healing, form and structure, hopes and dreams, as well as time and space and communication.

www.AccessConsciousness.ca Headaches at the top of the head can be from Bars about aging, which includes every point of view you have ever had about age. That area also has Bars about the body in general and sexuality. How do you know if yours is a headache or a Bars ache? It’s very simple! You just ask. Say the question out loud, “Is this a headache or a Bars ache?” One of those two will feel lighter, like it has more space and less solidity than the other. That’s the one that’s true. If what you have is a Bars ache, you can often relieve it by gently touching those points. Resting your fingertips there is enough. Hold your hand there for a few minutes and see what happens to your headache. Most people notice some relief in just a minute or two, for others the “headache” vanishes totally in that time. If you get any relief at all by touching that point, it is a Bar that is asking to be touched so the energy can dissipate and change. How do you know where the Bars are? The best way to learn is to take a Bars class, The class lasts one relaxing day, in which you give and receive two complete Bars sessions. At the end of the training, you are qualified to perform Bars for others, including not only family and friends, but also paying clients if you wish. A great side effect of having your Bars run is that each session clears 10,000 years of negativity. Talk about an anti-aging strategy! People who get their Bars run regularly tend to appear to stop aging and soon look younger than peers their age. What aspirin can offer that as a side effect?

Ask Dr. Jada Dear Dr. Jada, I have been feeling really tired lately. I’m not sure when it started but all of a sudden I realized that I am fighting to stay awake at my desk at work. By the time I get home from work, I just want to crash on my couch but I have to start dinner for my family and get the kids ready for bed. The funny thing is that by the time I put the kids to sleep, I get a second wind. I am wired and I just can’t fall asleep! It’s a vicous cycle and I’m not sure what to do! – Tired and Wired Dear Tired and Wired, What you are experiencing is very common and very frustrating! I have quite a few patients who are experiencing similar symptoms. It sounds like what you may be suffering from is adrenal fatigue. This is a condition where the adrenal glands (the ‘stress’ glands) have been pushed to the limit and are no longer functioning the way they should. The adrenal glands respond to stress. When we are in a stressful situation, the adrenal glands secrete a hormone called cortisol. This hormone allows us to feel energetic, ready to run, ready to think and by extension, ready to escape the stress! In our modern world the types of stresses we are exposed to aren’t the type of things we can run away from. Children waking us up in the middle of the night,

getting married, changing jobs or being stuck in traffic are just a few examples. Over time, if we do not process stresses well, our adrenal glands begin to give up trying to help us. They become exhausted and no longer secrete a healthy amount of cortisol. Cortisol is usually secreted in a daily rhythm. The rising sun stimulates cortisol secretion in the morning and then it gradually diminishes as the day goes on. By night time, cortisol should be very low and we should be feeling ready to go to sleep. If adrenal fatigue has set in, our cortisol secretion becomes dysregulated. In the morning we don’t secrete adequate amounts of this hormone and we feel exhausted and don’t want to get out of bed. By the end of the day cortisol slowly increases and results in restlessness and wired feelings as we are trying to finally get some sleep! The good news is that there are many healing tools that Naturopaths have that can help you recover from adrenal fatigue. I usually do testing for adrenal health and then use a combination of lifestyle changes, botanical medicines and dietary advice to help patients get back to feeling their best. Dr. Jada is a licenced Naturopathic Doctor who works with people of all ages wanting to achieve better health naturally. She is currently practicing at the Kilborn Naturopathic and Wellness Centre in Ottawa.

R i k T hur s t o n

We are profoundly saddened by the unexpected passing of Internationally-Known Trance Channeler, Rik Thurston who died suddenly on September 17, 2011 at the age of 61. At the age of 11, Rik read “There is a River”, a book about the life of Edgar Cayce, and was inspired to devote his life to becoming a trance medium. After many years of determined practice, his dream became a reality. For over 30 years, Rik and his sources guided, directed and assisted individuals to expand their life’s direction. Through accessing the deep trance state, (in the style of Edgar Cayce) a grouping of spiritual entities called “The Transcendors” provided answers to individuals around the world. Rik appeared on radio and television, and in many magazines. Rik’s adult life was dedicated to helping others. Before working full-time as a trance channeler, Rik worked for 19 years with developmentally handicapped individuals, offering specialized care in the areas of physical and behavioral therapies. While many of his clients attribute their life-altering advice to Rik’s sources (The Transcendors, Mikaal and Demetri) it is important to remember none of this would have been possible had Rik not selflessly dedicated his life (and health) to improving his client’s personal lives, health and spiritual journeys. Rik is survived by his wife and partner of 23 years, Debbie, who will continue to share with us the words and insights of Rik’s sources through a compilation of materials from their library of unreleased research sessions. For those of us who loved Rik, there will be a void in our lives that cannot be filled, but to quote his recent advice; “No matter what negative things the world throws at you, you have to believe there is a way and a means to make things better, to improve upon the negative, and thereby, build on the belief in yourself, and the world you live in.”

Intuitive Guidance and Spiritual Teachings By Kerry Palframan RN

erry Palframan has the unique and uncanny ability to translate molecular data. Since your body and energy fields are comprised of molecules in motion - which hold the memories from this life time, past lives and the history of your soul - Kerry offers you the opportunity to access this data as a service for your own personal enlightenment, growth and soul’s journey. Kerry literally becomes your energy field as the 3-dimensional hologram of Who You Are is placed over her which allows you the opportunity to become sacred witness to your own process at the various levels of your own being (be it your physical, emotional, mental, spiritual or soul levels). She has the unique ability to feel and experience what you do as her body, feelings, stances, attitudes, personality and characteristics reflect or become a mirror of your own Being (or of others you may inquire about). She can tap into passed over loved ones and let you know how they are doing; what they are experiencing and any messages they may have for you. Likewise, she can tap into family, friends or co-workers that are embodied and give you their perspective about the relationship (how they think and feel for you). Pets and animals can also be accessed. Past lives, gifts, talents, blockages, soul’s purpose, roots of illnesses and much more can be revealed. Deep and profound healing, clearing, cleansing and shifts can and do occur during sessions. All Kerry’s workshops, readings and teachings emphasize that you learn: to become self-directed; to recognize your own truth; to stretch your awareness of yourself and the world around you; how to be in alignment with your soul’s purpose and Your God. Learn more about Kerry’s incredible story, free oracle advice, workshops, articles, book and guided meditation CD at www.indigodreamer.com or kpdreamer@gmail.com Kerry Palframan, a registered nurse by profession, began delving into the world of the unseen to help her overcome a life threatening illness. A gifted teacher, healer, intuitive and spiritual medium, she now offers the wisdom of the esoteric and sacred ancient teachings in a powerful series of workshops, texts, book and a guided meditation CD. She brings forth information from Spirit as a service to all and offers Intuitive readings online, in-person, Internet or by phone.

You Get What You Settle For Sherry Harris, MSW, RSW, CHt, LM

can’t tell you how many people are surprised their lives are not working out better than they are. They tell me they are sure they are doing everything right. Why they even have a vision board. Can you be more positive than that? But in talking to them, it seems they see the world through very dark, depressing glasses. As I listen, it is clear they are focusing on the negative aspect of every situation, rather than seeing the possible good in it. They have done this so consistently for so long, they are totally unaware that they are not putting out positive vibes about life. They tell me they are just telling it like it is. The traffic sucks, the weather is cruddy, their kids are lazy, work is a drag, etc. What’s wrong with that they ask? It’s the truth. It’s the way it is. They can’t change that. Well, that’s their truth not mine. I can find value in every situation. It is not always easy but it is well worth the effort. No one enjoys being stuck in traffic, but you can certainly

Couple’s Coach Insurance Receipts Available harris.sherry@gmail.com 613-236-8852 If you settle for a mediocre life, that is what you’ll get. The universe is benign and loves us. It listens and responds to what you put out on all levels, mentally, emotionally, physically and spiritually. Listen to your words, watch to your thoughts, notice your behaviours and your body language.. Are you putting out loving, trusting, creative energy or are you stuck in experiencing the world through the dark filter of what is not working? Do you see the fall season for its beautiful colours or do you see the leaves that will need raking and the approaching of winter? Find those rose coloured glasses and put them on. You’ll find the smiles come easier and your step gets lighter. The law of attraction is working for you in every moment of your life. The vibrations you put out come back to you like a boomerang. You cannot afford the luxury of a negative thought (book by same title by Jon Kabot Zinn many years ago). Put negativity out and watch it bounce back to you. See the world as a beautiful place filled with people who love and want to be loved and send a smile their way. Watch eyes light up and smiles return to you. Feel how much better you feel having shared a moment of connection and grace with a stranger. You will never know how much your smile may have been needed. What you do know is you feel better for putting it out there. What you put out is what you get back; maybe not in this exact moment, but soon. What you settle for in your thinking is what you will manifest over and over again. If you think the world is a harsh, unfriendly, nasty place the universe can only keep reflecting that back to you. Is that what you want for yourself? Make the effort to challenge your thinking in every moment. If you’re not happy, peaceful and positive, make the effort to say to yourself, “ I choose peace. I choose love.” See how much better you feel doing that even if you have to do it minute by minute until you start creating a more positive and healthy relationship to the world around you. Do this and your inner world will start to hold the peace and love and you will be surprised at how quickly you can create the new habit of seeing beauty and goodness in your world, even in a traffic jam. Make “ I choose peace. I choose love” your inner mantra and your life will change in ways you could never have imagined. Sherry Harris is a psychotherapist, spiritual counsellor, coach and teacher.

S a v e d b y a Poem - The Transformational Power of Words

oetry is often called soul food. Poems can work as guides reminding us of a deeper level of being, and giving voice to that part of ourselves. Spoken word artist and spiritual teacher Kim Rosen has honed the ability to open up poetry for people in this way. In her book Saved by a Poem she teaches how to get a poem into your bones, so that you are living the poem, and the poem can live you. In her own words Kim offers: “Poetry was created to be experienced in the body and spoken aloud. Made of breath, sound, rhythm, meaning, and silence, a poem is a physical event. It needs a human body to give it life. To celebrate a poem’s natural expression means giving it a life inside your own body - in your voice, your breathing, and your pulse, not to mention your feelings and thoughts. As you take it in, the poem can become an inner teacher, changing you from the inside out. And you can change the poem as well, giving it a voice in a way no one else could.” Kim’s work has touched listeners worldwide with the healing power of poetry. She is an award-winning poet, spoken word artist, healer and teacher of Self-Inquiry. The co-creator of four C.D.’s of poetry and music, Kim has delivered poems, lectures, ceremony and workshops in myriad centers including - Chartres Cathedral, France, New Orleans SuperDome, Omega Institute, and The Kripalu Center. Kim Rosen will be in Ottawa for three events and offering a Professional Training for coaches, therapists and OD consultants this coming November 18 - 22. Her visit will begin with a Poetry Concert Friday evening, November 18th at 7:30 at St Paul’s University. This is a taste of the sublime as Kim speaks poems to music and illustrates

Trust your Intuition By Philip Ponchet

ave your spidey senses ever tingled when you were least expecting it? When you followed your intuition did everything work out or did you dismiss your gut feelings and then later on regret it? Some people treat their intuition as a curiosity at best but for others who have followed their intuition, the experience can have a life altering effect that resonates to the core of who they are. Following our intuition is good for us. Our inner potential is like a deep well of water and our intuition is like the pump that brings our inner potential to the surface. We need to explore our unique inner capacities and learn to trust the messages of our intuition. No-one else can provide us with the answers we seek. By staying relaxed, open and listening to our inner voice we maximize our abilities to clearly see our special path in life. Our intuition can help us strengthen self-trust, nurture patience and build a strong sense of personal harmony. When we have difficult and challenging experiences in our lives we can find positive and constructive solutions by listening to our intuition. Inspiration will come to us and illuminate our path if we stay relaxed and open and willing to receive the inner guidance and universal wisdom our intuition provides us with. There are four main avenues of communication through which our intuition speaks to us: clairaudience or ‘the still small voice’, clairvoyance or seeing a clear picture of the subject, premonition or knowing something before it occurs, and gut feelings or having an emotional impression. We have all four types of perception but one of the four is always dominant and we will respond to life depending on which perception is the strongest. We could say that the clairaudient type of person thinks in ideas or words, the clairvoyant type thinks in pictures, the person with premonition thinks with an inner knowing and the feeling type thinks from the gut. Some keys to remember when following your intuition are: • Stay relaxed and invest your time in doing things that help you be consistently relaxed. The more relaxed you are the stronger and clearer your intuition will be. • Listen to yourself rather than the opinions of others. The answers that we seek are within us. Intuition and selftrust go hand in hand. • Remember that our intuition does not come from our mind so analyzing the situation will not help us access our intuition. Try deep breathing and meditation to allow your intuition to surface. • Trusting your intuition can open the door to receiving inspiration and guidance from a source of universal wisdom. This connection with a source outside of ourselves can let us know that we are not alone in life. • Go with your first impressions, they are usually more accurate than analyzing the situation.

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

ollowing miraculous events involving the near-death experiences of Shelley Yates and her son in 2002 in Halifax, Nova Scotia, great Beings of Light imparted to this incredulous mother ancient wisdom about who we are as humans and our human potential. Based on further instructions by these Light Beings, Fire the Grid III was launched on July 17, 2007 at 11:11 GMT, with several millions of people in over 80 countries estimated to have participated in the world’s largest mass meditation/praying event for the healing of our world. The cosmic energy that was anchored on Earth at that time descended into underground water channels and flowed for one year before coming to rest in a massive crystal bed under Brazil. Fire the Grid II took place on July 28, 2009 at 19:19 Rio di Janeiro time to facilitate this energy’s return to Source, with the assistance of people around the world holding healing intentions for all life on Earth.

The next event is being called Fire the Grid I; it has been a countdown: III, II and I. Each Fire the Grid event has come from a place of higher knowledge and the instructions are meant to assist us with the great transition that has been happening and will continue to happen during these next few years. Now the time of the three truth stones has arrived, as a “Remember” code to assist us in the great awakening that is happening on this planet. Once again the Light Beings’ instructions involve coming Providing a selection of together as a whole: To delicious, gluten-free,

VEGETARIAN TREASURES

synchronize our intentions of the heart on November 11, 2011, 11:11 GMT (6:11 am, Ottawa time), for one hour and be one people with great love in our hearts, one collective mind to become one great force, even within the comfort of our own home in meditation or prayer, visualizing a world of joy, harmony and abundance, a world with clean water, air and soil, where everyone cares for each other. That great force will then charge the Earth field and we will become great programmers of a new time. Shelley was told that the Earth is entering a field of energy that has never been charged, it is free of any set patterns. That field of energy is completely programmable and will be programmed whether we participate consciously or not. Luckily for us, we have a fresh chance to make that new field what we choose it to be by simultaneously projecting our heart-felt intentions and getting a jump start for the next stage of humanity. Those who participate will be able to accelerate the growth of their own field as well. For more information, visit http://www.firethegrid.com/

The Spirit of Sedona - Part I by Darlene Plouffe

he text came last December.. an announcement that my friend would be getting married in Sedona Arizona in August 2011. My initial reaction was not a positive one. In fact.. I groaned aloud. You see, she had only just met this prospective new husband two weeks prior. They’d had three dates. My friend is approaching her mid-forties and has been married once before. She is a beautiful, intelligent, artistic woman.. old enough and wise enough to know what she is doing. But how could she possibly know this man well enough to be planning a wedding? How could they know at this point that their feelings for each other were real? The skeptic in me thought she was crazy. And perhaps many of you would even agree. But as I listened to the negative thoughts swirling around in my head I suddenly stopped, and something shifted inside of me. I realized in that moment that if I couldn’t be open to someone else’s happiness, how could I ever be open to my own? Who was I to question their love? It was my walls, and my fears that caused me to do so. My friend was happy, and so I decided to be happy for her. I instantly decided that I would go to Sedona for her wedding.. in fact, I would go down a week ahead of time by myself and make it a vacation at the same time. I texted her back and said I would be there. Something unexpected happened in the months that followed. I became inspired by my friend’s ability to open her heart.. by her willingness to take a chance.. and by her faith in love. The wedding went on as planned. It was incredibly beautiful, and her husband is an absolute sweetheart. My week in Sedona was truly transformational and I look forward to sharing my experiences with you in the upcoming months.. among which was an attunement from the Earth herself, a trip to Antelope Canyon, and a vortex experience with a native American shaman! At the time that I first received my friend’s text I hadn’t even heard of Sedona, and so afterwards I googled it. As soon as I saw images of the red rocks and read about the vortexes I knew there was a significance to my decision that went well beyond the fact that I had never travelled alone before. I was being called to Sedona.. for more than just my friend’s wedding. It was a plan that the Universe had apparently been working on for a while. A year and a half ago after our fire I had to replace all of my makeup. As I was preparing for my trip to Arizona I noticed that I should probably replace my blush/bronzer. I flipped it over to check the colour… it was #10, Sedona.

Sacred Healing Sounds

or over one thousand years, Sacred Healing Sounds have been effective in vibrationally massaging the major and minor organs of the body with the goal of homeostasis or balance. Everyone has rubbed a sore muscle and some of us have had the assistance of a friend or therapist with muscular massage. But how can we massage internal organs? We could surgically open the chest and massage the heart, but a gentler and less invasive approach is to use the vibrational sound that corresponds with each organ to balance its respective energy. To understand how they work, we can use the analogy of an orchestra and consider the body’s energy field playing beautifully when healthy and stress free. Upon the introduction of stress or an energy imbalance to the body, we hear a discordant orchestra with one or more instruments out of tune. The same way our ear is offended by the “out of tune” orchestra correlates to the spiritual, physical or psychological parts of the human being becoming “out of balance”. When individual organ vibrations are out of alignment, so too is the vibration of the entire system. Just as we can tune up guitar strings, we can also tune up the body’s energies via vibrational massage. As we open our vision of healing, we can imagine the correlating energies related to the different organs. These correlations come to us from ancient Chinese teachings. The heart corresponds to the emotional imbalance of being overly excited. The other day, when chatting with a friend named Kim, she mentioned to me that she was on daily heart medication. I let her know that in Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), the heart corresponds to over-excitement. Kim’s response was, “Oh YEAAAHHHH!!!!” indicating she does get over-excited at times. It is very interesting to confirm the various energetic correlations. When a parent mentions their child’s asthma, I sometimes inquire, “Does he have any skin problems?”

Ninety percent of the time, the answer is: “How did you know?” The major internal organ of lungs corresponds to the minor external organ of skin in the Chinese Emei Qigong teachings and in TCM. When we use the Sacred Healing Sounds to balance all of our major organs, the balancing continues to the minor organs and also emotions. We can think of a perfectly balanced state being akin to an athlete playing in “the zone”. The optimal level of balance leads to a beautiful state of flow which supports every aspect of our existence including: healing, intelligence, emotional calm, stress reduction, spiritual oneness and heightened intuition. You can use the sounds anywhere anytime: listen to them, say them aloud or whisper them. With a little experimentation, I noticed that you can say them all within 10 or 15 seconds and return to “the zone”. For larger issues, you may practice the sounds for as long as you like. For example, “Shang” is the Sacred Healing Sound for the lungs. Repeat the sound three times and then hold the “ang” portion on the fourth repetition until you are out of air. By repeating the process in combination with deep, relaxed breathing, a cough may dissipate instantly. For a more long term view, you can use “Shang” in the fall. When you use the sound in its season, you can achieve twice the effect with half the effort. Although Sacred Healing Sounds predate Emei Qigong, the Lineage Holders of Emei Qigong tested and verified the sounds and their effects. Over eight hundred years, the enlightened monk Emei Qigong Lineage Holders corrected minor discrepancies ensuring the sounds that maximize balance were being taught. By practicing Sacred Healing Sounds and other Emei Qigong techniques, my friend Kim found she has reduced the amplitude of her excited states. Now she enjoys more balanced joy with less over-excitement and Kim has gifted herself a healthier life!

Daycare Consequences by L. Gilka

Detrimental PERMANENT consequences of daycare for psychological and physical health of children, family, society and economy.

or years, the experts have been trying to warn about detrimental consequences of daycare on child, family, society and economy. Large number of studies (but rarely publicized) have documented the negative PERMANENT impacts of daycare on small children especially their psychological development. It has been shown that children participating in daycare have commonly 1. attachment problems 2. increased aggression and reduced cooperation 3. increased number of conflicts with parents and teachers 4. reduced short-term and long-term memory 5. impaired ability to work independently 6. lower academic achievement 7. increased tendency to infections with additional ramifications including increased stress on family The basic reason for these changes are anxiety and depression caused by separation (even short-term, just several hours) of baby from mother which leads to elevated level of stress hormone (cortisol). The same children when they are in their home environment have cortisol levels normal. High cortisol level triggers a series of biochemical changes including release of adrenalin and other powerful hormones that are intended for only a short-term action in emergency situation. If cortisol release is prolonged and repeated as it happens when the child is repeatedly separated from mother for several hours, the cumulative effects of hormonal and biochemical changes caused by

elevated cortisol level damages and destroys brain cells, especially in the area of brain called limbic system. Limbic system is often called the emotional brain because of its enormous influence on emotions. High anxiety level due to separation of baby from mother leads to high levels of adrenaline and further formation of adrenalin neuroreceptors, followed by further increase of anxiety. Similar mechanism leads to an increased tendency to depression, These mechanisms contribute to high number of children and teenagers with anxiety, depression and suicidal behaviour seen today in emergency department of our children’s hospitals. The children need full time care from their mother when they are young and not even the best daycare can replace the natural bond with loving mother. Such arrangement will bring also other advantages: Benefits of prolonged breastfeeding for child and for mother (increased protection against breast cancer) • better built brain (with an increased IQ by about 7 points in children exclusively fed with breast milk for first six months); • increased resistance against infections; • reduced incidence of allergies; • reduced risk of obesity, diabetes and other diseases; • reduced risk of high cholesterol in adulthood; • increased bonding of child to mother; • well built facial and oral tissues and features Some benefits of breastfeeding for mother • promotes postpartum weight loss; • breastfeeding longer than one year returns breast to prepregnancy shape by forming fibrotic tissue lifting breast; • reduced risk of postpartum depression; • reduced risk of breast cancer (in proportion to cumulative lifetime duration of breastfeeding) • reduced risk of ovarian cancer; • reduced risk of uterine cancer; • lessens osteoporosis; • increased bonding of child to mother.

Setting Up Your Raw Food Kitchen Changing Seasons, Changing By Sarah Ives

ne of the most common questions I am asked about raw foods is the type of equipment needed to start making raw foods. Do I need a blender or juicer? And what is the difference? The answer all depends on what types of foods you want to make. Do you want to add a little raw food to your diet or go for the whole hog? First things first: A juicer extracts the fibre from fruits and vegetables and is exceptionally good for creating enzymerich beverages that can give an instant energy boost. A blender, on the other hand, retains the fruit and veggie fibre but emulsifies it into a luxurious puree that can be consumed as a soup, smoothie, dressings and more. A food processor, is similar to a blender, only it needs little to no water to mix ingredients together and it doesn’t puree as finely as a blender, so it is excellent for making pates, thick sauces and many raw desserts. While your raw food life will be much more flexible with these three appliances, you don’t need to run out and buy them! Most beginners have a sufficient blender kicking around in their kitchen and don’t need to buy a Blendtec or Vitamix. Get our blender out of the cupboard and dust it off. Find a place on the counter where it will be noticeable - this will remind you to throw together a green smoothie the night before (smoothies keep for 2-3 days). Roughly chop up heartier vegetables, like kale, to prevent jamming the blender. As well, add more water rich fruits into the blender first. Green juicing is an absolute delight on so many levels and I juice almost everyday, however, unless you are battling a health illnesses you might not need it everyday, like a smoothie. But it is still incredibly nutritious and delicious. By removing the fibre from the fruits and veggies, all of the strain on the digestive system is lifted and you are flooding your body with vitamins, minerals, phytonutrients and precious enzymes. Juicers range quite a bit in price but, for most people, a simply fountain juicer (like a Breville juicer – my favourite) will do the trick (price range under 250 dollars or look for one used – there are many juicers floating around on sites like www.kijiji.ca or www.usedottawa.com). If you want to take the next step to making more raw food meals, than a food processor is an invaluable tool and, conveniently, it is something that many folks already have in their kitchen. While the direct-drive induction motor processors are among the best, you do not need to have the best to get started! Cuisinart has a broad range in food processors and some of the more reasonably priced models can easily perform all the necessary tricks to get your food processing done in a snap. With this information and a nice sharp Chef’s knife, I hope you are ready to get started on your raw food journey. Bio: Sarah Ives teaches easy and delicious ways to eat more raw foods through her classes and consultations in the Ottawa region. Please visit www.ohmyraw.com to learn more about Raw Food For Beginners, being held on October 15th.

Bodies

s the calendar turns and we move more fully into autumn, ancestral wisdom calls for us to consider a cleansing regimen. When nature itself is changing, as it does during the fall, traditional acumen holds that it is an excellent time to carry out body purification. Believe it or not, internal cleansing is one of our bodies’ most basic autonomic functions. Because our bodies are so aware of the fundamental importance of maintaining cleanliness, our metabolic processes continuously work to dispose of toxic matter, keeping pollutants to a minimum. Considering how diligent our bodies are in their efforts to keep themselves clean and free of toxic build up, many people question whether seasonal cleanses are really necessary. Although it is up to every person to make this evaluation for themselves, there is a strong case for the argument that our bodies are unable to fully handle the toxins of our modern world. And no wonder, when we are exposed to chemicals of all kinds and descriptions on an unprecedented scale, affecting every system of the body and resulting in everything from tissue damage to sensory deterioration. There are many simple steps that we can take to help cleanse the body of accumulated toxins. Many of them can be done with food alone. Some of these steps include • Drinking at least eight 8-oz glasses per day • Eating a fresh salad one or more times per day and enjoying steamed, stir fried, or baked vegetables for at least one other meal per day • Choosing whole grains • Eating one or more pieces of fresh fruit per day, preferably on an empty stomach • Adding healthy fats to the diet (ie.wild fish, raw nuts, avocadoes, olive oil) • Choosing natural sweeteners (e.g. coconut sugar, honey, maple syrup, etc.) over chemically processed, nutrient poor sweeteners

• Eating meat and dairy products in moderation • Choosing organic, hormone-free, antibiotic-free, pesticide-free, herbicide-free products whenever possible By fortifying our bodies with a nutrient-rich diet and reducing our toxic load through clean eating practices, we naturally enable the body to better neutralize and/ or eliminate toxins. Want to take your cleanse a step further? Consider adding detoxifying and/or purifying homeopathic remedies to your regimen for a couple of weeks. This will help to supercharge your cleanse by stimulating the body’s key channels of elimination. Many people think of cleaning as an exclusively internal process. Not so! Detoxification can also take place through the skin, the body’s largest organ, weighing in at about 8 pounds and 2 square meters! This breathable membrane absorbs and excretes, and it is this important fact that makes it so valuable as a method of detoxification. While you sleep, your skin excretes toxins built up during the day. For this reason, it is important not to block pores with heavy creams or products containing petroleum ingredients (never a good idea). In our waking hours, we can help our bodies cleanse by the application of masks containing drawing ingredients, but also ingredients that nourish and heal the skin. Ingredients you

may already have at home include egg whites, honey, fresh fruit and vegetables and yogurt! Egg whites tighten on the skin, as does yogurt, which help to draw out impurities. I love honey because it is also drawing, but a humectants at the same time, attracting moisture to the skin. Some fresh fruits contain AHA, alpha hydroxyl acids, which are effective exfoliants for the skin. Avocado is another favourite as it is a lot of essential fatty acids, so important to skin health. A simple honey and yogurt mask could be applied to the face, leaving in place until the mask begins to tighten, about 10-15 minutes (no snacking!). After rinsing, skin should feel soft and renewed. ©Heather Garrod and Kristin Shropshire. Planet Botanix at 301 Bank St., 613.567.4444.

Sri Chinmoy Answers Question: Can you tell us how to concentrate and meditate? SRI CHINMOY: First we concentrate, then we meditate. I always recommend that one should practise concentration; otherwise, meditation will never be fruitful. When we sit for meditation, millions of thoughts and ideas will enter into our mind and disturb us. We should practise concentration for a couple of minutes and then enter into meditation. For some seekers who have been practising concentration and meditation for a long time, concentration is no longer necessary; they can immediately enter into meditation. I wish you to imagine a flower in front of you or, if you can, imagine the flower blooming inside your heart. Now we shall concentrate. In the beginning, our concentration will be focused on the whole flower. There are quite a few petals and leaves, and gradually we will try to focus our attention on the tiniest possible existence of the flower. And then again, if we feel like it, our concentration will go from the tiniest portion to the whole flower; or from the soul of the flower to the body of the flower. This is how we perfect our concentration. So when we concentrate, we can go from the largest portion of the flower to the smallest portion; or from the body to the soul. Again, we can go from the smallest portion to the largest, from the soul to the body. Either we can contract our consciousness or expand our consciousness. Either way is most effective. When we meditate, we do not allow any bad thoughts to enter into our mind. If a good thought, a progressive thought, comes we shall allow it to grow. But if any undivine thought comes in we shall immediately try to destroy it. An undivine thought is like a thief, and we shall not allow the thief to enter into our room. But if it is a friend who wants to enter, we shall welcome him. Joy, love, peace: these are our friends. We shall allow them to enter into us. But fear, doubt, anxiety, worry, insecurity and impurity are our enemies. In meditation we shall be meditating upon vastness-either the vast blue sky or a vast expanse of water. Meditation means oneness with vastness. To have a calm and quiet mind is not easy; it is most difficult. But if we practice meditation daily, then we can rest assured that the problems of our life, inner and outer, will be solved. Visit www.srichinmoylibrary.com for further writings by Sri Chinmoy.

Dear Coffee,

e’ve shared long and sordid love affair, you and I. My grandmother introduced us when I was just a child, younger than ten. Your French aroma and silky smooth skin, warm liquid sugar that coated my throat and made me smile, a rush of heat in the pit of my belly. Who wouldn’t fall in love?! The romance continued throughout grade school; I’d spend the night my friend’s and her mom would pick you up at Tim Hortin’s. Man, you go great with chocolate chip cookies. You saw me through the awkward years of pimples and arms disproportionate to my body, oblivious to hair that was greasy and unkempt when we first met in the a.m. You had this magical way of picking me up when I was down. You were so easy to be around. We laid in bed for hours at a time, absorbing books so great that my lips met yours only with distraction. And in university, you were my God send, coaching me all night long into the wee hours of the morning. Until something changed. A shift that I didn’t appreciate. An aggression that was so unlike you. It happened gradually; I didn’t see it coming. It wasn’t until my postgraduate years that I decided we needed some time apart. You know, to give each other a little space. You were coming over more often, staying later into the night and getting me up earlier in the morning. But the pain of leaving you was too much. I’d ignore your calls for a few days and then cave, beg you to come over. I changed friends, stopped hanging out at our cafes, substituted you with other lovers, but I was only on the rebound. Again and again, I came back. The pain of living without you was too much. Again and again we fell into stride and hung out more often than ever before. Last month I knew something had to be done. The cycle had to stop. I was given an espresso machine by well-intending ex in-laws, and ohhh .... the intensity of your love! It was through the roof! The yearning, the craving, the highs were all magnified, but so too were the lows. It was more than a person aiming to cultivate balance could take. Seven days and 12 hours ago, I left you for good, spent three days in bed and survived the initial pain of your absence. You called incessantly, taunting me, reminding me that with just one kiss, the ache would be gone; things would go back to normal. But I stayed strong. I was familiar with your games. I had become a woman of integrity. A woman who keeps her word. A woman who--when committed to something--is certain to follow through. We had a sordid love affair, you and I. With your support, I obtained degrees of distinction, took 6 a.m. spinning classes, learned what a Kitchen Appliance was. We lived the good life once, but now I’ve moved on. Don’t worry, I’d never shame you with another love. Those rumors about Herb[al] aren’t true. Thoughts of you will always have a warm, soft, sweet spot in my heart, dear coffee. This post is a tribute, but most importantly, it’s a goodbye. I did it. I’m over you.

R e m o t e Viewing of…Merlin

ven today, many people are wondering whether the Psychic Sense is Real. Let me tell you about a Psychic Experiment. Actually, it was the psychic experiment where it all started for me. In 1989, I decided to take the advice of a professional psychic who encouraged me to train my psychic sense. I had no idea one could do that but it turned out to be true. I signed up for a well-known course in how to use consciousness more effectively and part of the course was devoted to training the psychic sense to do remote viewing. I had never before attempted to direct my psychic faculties at a particular “target”. As part of the practical application of the principles, the participants in the course were asked to set up a longdistance experiment. We were to request someone who lived at least 500 miles away to sit quietly for 15 minutes in a receptive state of mind to see if they picked up any thoughts coming from the ‘sender’. For the next 15 minutes the roles of sender and receiver were reversed. I decided to ask my sister, Brigid, living about 1200 miles away to participate in the experiment with me. She agreed and we set a day and time to do the experiment. She had a baby at the time so we scheduled the experiment for the baby’s nap time. The night before the experiment I spent a few minutes wondering what “image” I would send Brigid the next day. Before I could even think of one, I got a firm prompting to send “King Arthur”. Then, “No, not Arthur. Send Merlin”. Oh, yes! I loved Merlin and he seemed most appropriate for a psychic experiment! What You See IS What You Get… The next day at the appointed time I began sending the name “Merlin” to Brigid. My idea of Merlin was the Magus who when he ‘died’ was transformed into a tree so I was not prepared for the image that popped into my head as I began ‘sending’. This Merlin was more like a Hollywood version complete with pointed Magus cap, a wand and a long silver robe! Definitely NOT my idea of Merlin! My Merlin wore old robes of rough wool, his hair would be disheveled and his beard knotted. He’d be a bit cantankerous, eminently practical, and yet mystical at the same time. And he most certainly wouldn’t wear silver robes! Despite my mental protests, however, the silverclad Merlin image would not budge. After 15 minutes of having this “bling” version of Merlin, I prepared to receive impressions from my sister. What I got was an image of the baby covered in red spots! I saw Brigid in the baby’s room spreading calamine lotion all over the baby’s skin and trying to soothe her crying. Oh, dear. This did not look good. I grabbed

October 2011

the phone to call my sister but she was already on the line! Neither her phone nor mine had rung! This was getting decidedly spooky… First, I asked if the baby was ok. Brigid said the baby was fine. Why was I asking? So I told her what I had ‘seen’. None of it seemed to be true so we wrote that off as a psychic mis-fire. Moreover, Brigid had actually forgotten to ‘send’ anything and was calling to apologise! Merlin…On Skates! Then, she asked me what I had ‘sent’. I told her about the Hollywood image of Merlin and she started to laugh. Yeah, I knew it was absurd. But Brigid said “No, no, you’re right. You’ve just described the front page of my newspaper!” What? It turned out the Ice Capades were in her town and the day before we did the experiment, part of the cast had gone to local schools in costume! Consequently, the picture on Brigid’s front page showed Merlin in a long silver gown with high, pointed Magus hat and a wand that sprinkled ‘fairy dust’ when he waved it. Bingo! This was way weird, even for us! Clairvoyance Is Real What puzzled me was how I had received the prompt the NIGHT BEFORE to send ‘Merlin’ when the newspaper hadn’t even been published yet? I had a lot to learn about how the psychic sense worked. But the fact was, it DID work. And then… Two days later my sister called me. Brigid had been awakened early that morning by the baby’s crying. When she went to see what was wrong, the baby was covered in red spots! Some mosquitoes had got into the nursery and the poor baby had been repeatedly bitten! When she saw the baby, Brigid remembered the images of her covered in red spots that I had picked up two days before. The psychic “mis-fire” hadn’t been one at all; it was just two days early! © Delia O’Riordan 2011 Adapted from my Blog at: http://psychic-delia.com

Reviewing Our Year Through the Eyes of Kabbalah

The Ottawa Kabbalah Study Group Live Your Best Life. Learn Kabbalah. Kabbalah is an ancient wisdom that teaches us how to receive long-lasting fulfillment in all branches of our lives - health, relationships, and career. We welcome all who wish to achieve their true potential and live their best life!

Your first task is to identify your personal challenges, and how you respond to them; specifically, the challenges that you believe are negative, and which often lead to reactions such as anger, jealousy, and doubt. Using the tools of Kabbalah, you will then learn the underlying reasons for those challenges, their associated triggers, and how to tame them. With time and effort, you can even eliminate them altogether. In addition to the tools of prayer, meditation, the study of astrology and specific ancient texts (such as The Zohar), an example of a tool used in Kabbalah is the process of repentance. It involves a personal review of the past to seek out times when you caused pain towards others. If you make an honest effort and admit to the pain and damage you created, the lingering negativity associated with those times can be cleansed and removed forever. Repentance can be done by anyone any time of the year, but is especially effective during the month of Elul (Virgo). Tarot Card, Palm, Astrology, Medium The wisdom of Kabbalah is based on the Hebrew calendar, and Elul is the last month before the New Year (Rosh Hashanah). If you cleanse negativity during the month of Elul, you clear the way for a sweeter year ahead! Christian Spiritual Ministries Inc.

The sincerity of our study, Olde Forge C.C., 2730 Carling Avenue and the diversity of our members, ensures our meetings Sunday Service at 1:00 pm are enjoyable and enlightening.

BodyTalk After B i r t h

racticing BodyTalk energy medicine and teaching yoga for years, I was looking forward to the natural homebirth of our baby out in the country at our eco-home west of Ottawa. When our son was born in mid-February, we were taken aback to learn that he had health issues that would require various surgeries in the days, months and years to come. Due to my background, I felt largely polarized by the western medical model; that which would soon save the life of our son and provide him with a “normal” life post-op. Unable to work on our son following his birth, other nurturing and supportive BodyTalk colleagues and healers in the city provided distance sessions to speed his healing. As I became able, I too gave him sessions, pre and post-op to prepare him for surgery and help him to heal just following. Our son healed phenomenally well following each intervention that he underwent. Doctors and surgeons have been surprised at how well and quickly he has healed and how happy he is. Now returning to my BodyTalk practice, I look forward to again cofacilitating similar shifts with my clients. BodyTalk is able to address a wide variety of health concerns as it works to restore balance and re-synchronize communication within the bodymind. Previous clients’ health issues ranged from cancer, neurological disorders, headaches, back pain, breathing issues, arthritis, digestive disorders, learning disabilities, depression, etc. BodyTalk is a comprehensive, non-diagnostic consciousnessbased healthcare system that restores the bodymind’s internal lines of communication to increase overall health. When the lines of communication between the bodymind’s various systems and parts are intact, the bodymind can heal itself. Stress compromises these internal lines of communication and thus creates disease. BodyTalk uses muscle testing to locate areas of stress, miscommunication and/ or energy blockages on the emotional, physical, mental and spiritual levels. A mathematical formula results, followed by tapping over the brain and heart to facilitate the changes. When stress is identified, held in awareness, and communication is re-established within, the bodymind can heal itself. It’s that simple. Lori Hollohan M.A. is a Certified Advanced BodyTalk Practitioner and also a Hatha Yoga Teacher. Lori, as well as two BodyTalk colleagues, recently opened a new BodyTalk space, which is part of a healing arts house, at 484 Gladstone Ave. (at Lyon St). She is currently offering $10 off sessions for new clients for the month of October. Lori will further be offering mini-sessions at the Health and Well-being Show at StatCan on October 5th. She is also able to provide insurance receipts for her clients. For more information please contact her at: info@lorihollohan.com or visit www.lorihollohan.com and www.bodytalksystem.com

Galya and Kalia

– Healing can be Fun!

ealing can be simple and easy. Both Galya and Kalia offer healing in fun, accessible ways. Galya heals through movement and music. Kalia heals beliefs through simply saying, “Kalia that!” Tina, a licensed Nia teacher (Nia is a fusion fitness technique that blends dance, martial arts and healing arts) was divinely guided to create movement journeys called Galya. Unlike Nia classes, Galya journeys are not choreographed. Rather than following and mimicking the teacher’s movements, Galya participants are guided to move their own way through verbal imagery. In a Galya journey, you may move with your eyes closed, lost in the music, allowing your body to move as it desires, rather than how you are shown to move it. This offers you a deeper level of connection and healing. It also allows you to bypass your mind to access spirit. One woman who’d admitted she had never been able to find enjoyment in movement classes shared, “Galya is a divine experience! It was a journey that gave expression to my whole being. It allowed me to feel and move in a way that honoured me and my own inner wisdom.” Brock Tully, an internationally recognized speaker and author, shared, “I was hesitant to go to the Galya workshop at the Spring Festival of Awareness as I have a knee injury. I’m so, so happy I went as I was able to get more in touch with my body, with the music, and a much deeper part of me that I too often neglect. I left feeling energized and yet with a deep sense of peace!” Tina feels absolutely blessed to have been able to share this magical healing movement technique with people in beautiful retreat settings in Alberta and BC. It thrills her to get to share Galya and Nia in Eastern Canada, too, at the end of October at a retreat in Gatineau. Denise received Kalia - a unique technique that empowers beings physically, mentally, emotionally and spiritually - as a Divine transmission. Our inner being is like a light bulb that has been covered with all the less than life-enhancing beliefs we have accumulated throughout our lifetime. Using Kalia reveals our inner light. Once our light can shine fully, the continued use of Kalia provides greater access to more light. We become what we really are, radiant beings having an amazing experience. Kalia is ‘set’ in Divinely chosen individuals. Once set, Kalia stays for infinity with the person’s soul as a tool of growth. It is 100% effective for all individuals. If you are reading this article, you have received Kalia. To implement it, all you have to do is say “Kalia that!” Yes, it really is that simple. If you were to think, “It can’t possibly be that easy to shift a belief!” you can say, “Kalia that!” aloud immediately, breathe it in and blow it

out. This will heal your limiting belief that healing has to be complicated or difficult. Using Kalia brings about 4 results: 1. Sets the intention to heal the root cause of any states of being that are less than life-enhancing (i.e. other than Divine intended). 2. Introduces life-enhancing beliefs aligned with Divine intent. 3. Enhances anything that is already life-enhancing, to support more of the same. 4. Increases your capacity to love. The more you use Kalia, the more quickly you will evolve. For some individuals, to Kalia in a group intensifies the benefits. Brigitte shared, “Thank you so much for the amazing workshop. I attend the Spiritualist Church where there are many people who are mediums who pick up on things like what energy I am giving off. When I went to church today, someone told me that I had a major breakthrough yesterday and one that I have long been waiting for. Thank you, Denise, for coming into my life.” Denise is honoured that each workshop she delivers brings deeper levels of healing, regardless of where the participants are at in their spiritual journey. She is very excited about presenting Kalia and another divinely transmitted energy, MURTUI, at the Healing Retreat in Gatineau, where there is guaranteed to be a great deal of laughter, healing and fun.

Reiki Can Make Life a Little Easier by Alexis Nicol

I’d like to give a brief description of how Reiki can help your experience of life. Every Reiki session is unique. The combination of the Reiki practitioner’s energy and your own energy creates the overall feeling of your time together. When I am giving Reiki to someone, it is always with the intention to bring healing to the client, myself and the Universe. The Reiki energy knows exactly what you need at this time in your life and what is in your highest good. If you are open to receiving it, you can expect gentle, sometimes subtle changes in your life. This energy doesn’t stop at the end of your session; it will be with you for quite a while after as well. It might even be stronger than a gentle push; it could feel like a kick in the pants! I find that if you look upon these pushes/kicks as opportunities for personal growth then things tend to be VEGETARIAN RESTAURANT easier to cope with. 1230 Wellington, Ottawa, ON When something tragic happens to us, we tend to say poor 613-729-5973 me, get angry, etc. We feel sorry for ourselves, maybe even angry at the world. If you try to be understanding, patient and realize that you may not know the whole picture, it could even be a good thing. The Universe is always there to protect us and help us grow. I know that it takes practise (a lot). It’s not always easy to accept and to become grateful for some of these “opportunities”. As an example, say you were on the way to work and are already running a little late. You manage to get every red light and it seems like every slow poke in the city is in front of you - they even make the light and you’re stuck waiting for the next green one! When you arrive at work late you’re flustered. Later on you find out that you missed, by mere minutes, a large bookcase collapse. Had you been any earlier you could have been badly hurt. It will probably change your perspective on your situation. You might even be grateful for the slow poke! Sometimes, most times, we don’t know what could have been.

Intuitive Development Classes

sychic, & Healer Marlene Stevens is now taking registration for fall courses in Intuitive Development at her new location in Hintonburg area of Ottawa. We are all intuitive & telepathic and are now open to learn about and use all 7 of our senses. All it takes is some instruction, perhaps a few shifts in lifestyle, and a change in perspective and, “Voila”, you are using intuition. My class will run for 7 weeks with the focus on how to read all the different signs around you, how to ask & listen for answers, the difference between answers from a higher power, from inner self and the voice of ego, dreams incubation and analysis, reading the signs of nature, nature spirits, healing, intuition exercises, plant and animal communication are all topics that will be covered. As well as instruction in meditation and breaking some of the habits, such as worry, that block intuition. Intuitive development will aid you in your career, in making simple day to day decisions, and can greatly aid people working with the sick, the mentally ill, death, in situations that seem hopeless, those who are in difficult work circumstances, or feel the urge to do something better and different but are not sure what. Instruction in the most beneficial use of intuition is also included in the program as 

The 15 minute technique that can change your life By Graham J. Wiseman and Judy MacLeod

here is a wealth of literature available about the benefits of living “in the now”. But what exactly does it mean to live in the now? How do you know when you’re in the now and how do you know when you are not? Living in the now really means that no matter what the circumstance, you are able to respond to it from a place of conscious choice. When you find yourself reacting to something or someone in a way you would not choose under normal circumstances you are experiencing what is known as a Subconscious Reactive Pattern. Your brain, in the form of your subconscious mind, is amazing at learning patterns of behaviour. Think about climbing stairs for example. You learned a long time ago how to do that and now that capability is entrenched in your subconscious mind as a pattern of behaviour. You no longer need to think HOW to climb stairs, you just do it without even being aware of it. In the same way that you learned how to climb stairs, you learned emotional responses to certain events and stimuli. When something comes along which your subconscious mind perceives as similar to the original stimulus it orchestrates an elaborate response and it does this outside of your conscious awareness! This is the essence of a Subconscious Reactive Pattern. And the challenging part is that this pattern gets triggered by the same stimuli over and over again. But what if you could choose a different response? What would that be worth to you? Well now you can learn the tools to change your response and once you learn it you can do it for yourself in about 15 minutes! For the first time in Eastern Ontario and Western Quebec, we are able to offer training in the 1-2-3 PLAN of the LifeLine Technique tm. The 1-2-3 PLAN represents the first 3 steps of the LifeLine Technique – a powerful healing modality created and developed by Dr. Darren R. Weissman

of Chicago. In the 1-2-3 PLAN training we will teach you how to perform muscle reflex testing on yourself; how to reconnect the energy of your Body, Mind, and Spirit; how to identify symptoms and stressors; how to define a powerful intention and generate the feeling of that intention; and how to create a powerful shift out of a Subconscious Reactive Pattern. All of this is now available in the Ottawa area for the first time at a cost of $200 and the next workshop will be Saturday 19 November, 2011. Contact Graham or Judy to register now and learn the tools to break habitual responses and change your life. Graham J. Wiseman and Judy MacLeod are Certified LifeLine Technique tm Practitioners and Certified 1-2-3 PLAN Teachers. Contact them at 819-483-0667 or graham@masteryunlimited.ca to find out more about the 1-2-3- PLAN workshops. The LifeLine Technique is a registered trademark of Dr. Darren R. Weissman.

Peace Awards and Peace Grants Ian Prattis

ach year Friends for Peace presents Peace Awards to Canadian citizens who have devoted their lives to securing peace, planetary care and social justice. That’s the mandate at www.friendsforpeace.ca Past recipients include Grandfather William Commanda, Michael Monner and Tone Magazine, Marion Dewar, Max Keeping, David Smith, Irwin Cotler, Elizabeth May, Bruce Cockburn and many others since our first Celebrate Peace Day nine years ago. This year in Ottawa City Hall on Saturday October 1, Mayor Jim Watson will present four peace awards in Jean Pigott Place at City Hall (1.30pm). At 12 noon, prior to that ceremony, the Path of Peace parade will arrive at the Lisgar St Entrance of City Hall with Max Keeping as the Grand Marshall. Three of the award recipients will be marching in this parade – Jean Beliveau, Peter Stockdale and Bill Bhaneja; while the fourth – Tina Fedeski - will be preparing her children’s orchestra to open the afternoon proceedings at 1.00pm. The parade will be piped in by two magnificent pipers in kilts, as embassy flagbearers march into City Hall, up to the podium and we give them all a rousing cheer! This welcomes award recipient Jean Beliveau – the Terry Fox of global peace walks. For the past decade Jean has been walking for peace and children’s rights across many countries throughout the world. Other award recipients are Peter Stockdale - co-sponsor of the Ottawa Peace Festival. Peter teamed up with Bill Bhaneja to create a Canadian Department of Peace (CDPI). Bill Bhaneja, a peaceful tiger, leapt into the Canadian peace and non-violence movement, becoming co-founder and the first National Co-Chair of the Canadian Department of Peace Initiative, initiating the Ottawa Peace Festival. He and Peter have in a very unique way brought together Ottawa civil society groups to celebrate their work to bring peace, unity, and harmony highlighting Ottawa as a City of Peace. In pursuit of her belief in the power of youth music, Tina Fedeski cocreated The Leading Note Foundation and OrKidstra - a proud community building program through music – and very Canadian – with 24 languages spoken amongst 150 children!

Tips To Help You Improve Your Relationship Skills By Chipo Shambare

It takes time to learn and know yourself and others therefore practice is the best way to achieve your relationship goals and to improve your interpersonal skills. As with anything, these interpersonal skills may take some time for you to adopt and then see the results. However, there are many ways to be in any type of relationship especially the close ones. Here are some quick ways I have discovered that work for me. You can start to use these right away and see results almost immediately. Take some time to evaluate how you are doing and being in relationships. Use the ‘who’, ‘what’, ‘where’, ‘when’ and ‘how’ to determine how you are with yourself and others. By using the above well-known formula of four “W's” and an “H”, will simplify your quest of improving your relationship skills. Asking yourself questions and giving yourself honest answers you will be able to transform the interactions in your relationships 1. Stay focused on your goal of improved relationships. Be present with each person at all times and be an active listener in every situation. Remember that the way you act reflects on your character. Learn to deal with situations in a compassionate and appropriate way. Remember, “Do unto others as you would like done to you”. 2. Establish authenticity and credibility. Be sincere, honest and be your true self. If you are truthful and upfront with yourself and others, you will feel and see it, so will the other person and this will help to have a long-lasting relationship which will go a long way to earning your own self respect and the other person's respect, trust and friendship. 3. Understand and respect others' points of view. Remember that you don ' t have to agree or like everything everybody says. Learn more about them and their beliefs by listening ask questions, and are interested. Reflecting on what others tell you will help you understand them and you will also grow. Remember, listening to what your intuition or inner guidance is telling you about what ' s being said is a must and a positive way to trust yourself. Even if you disagree, take the time to learn and understand where the other person is coming from and the person's perspective. Also examine where you are coming from. Look at your own value or belief system, maybe your own inner stories and more. This will help you weed out those relationships that bring you down and are not supportive of you, your development, and your purpose in life. We are all wired to be in relationships. Relationships are very important in human development and our experience on the planet . In my book, I Am Good Enough for Me I wrote about having a better relationship with this, and it helps to feel good about ourselves.

Emotional Mastery through Reflexology and Qi Gong …Deborah Cameron brings her internationally acclaimed Workshop ‘Emotional Mastery’ to Ottawa

eborah Cameron has brought her successful practice “Sole to Soul Holistics” to Ottawa as of April 2011. A former registered nurse from Barrie, Ontario, Deborah is a certified reflexologist since 1995 as well as an instructor of the ancient Chinese exercise Qi Gong (similar to Tai Chi) since 2000. Deborah provides practical, easy tools to evolve your life’s undesirable patterns into discovering your soul’s purpose. For years she has been working with clients, combining techniques of reflexology and Qi Gong. This is indeed a powerful synergy! By accessing the 250 reflexes within the soles of the feet, she is able to surmise any congestion in the vital organ she is working with, as well trace an old or new pattern of unbalanced, negative emotion that may be plaguing the cellular memory of the particular organ. The ancient Taoists taught, and is now proven scientifically, that cells of the body hold memory, therefore an emotion that is repeated over and over again more or less ‘sets up practice’, within the cellular memory of that given organ. The Taoist masters, (tao meaning the way), over 5,000 years ago, taught that specific emotions are stored in the individual vital organs of the human body. For example, grief sadness, and depression are stored in the cellular memory of the lungs and colon, where stress, fear and anxiety are stored in the kidneys and bladder. Each vital organ houses it’s own set of emotion. When the emotion becomes ‘master’ over the body, then ailments begin to set in, our dreams become blocked, and we begin to accept that the emotion, be it for example, anger, grief or guilt, is simply ‘who we are’, and we begin to work our reality around that emotion. Deborah’s newest workshop entitled, ‘Emotional Mastery’, takes the participant, through an understanding of what the Taoists refer to as The Cycle of Creation. We study the relationship between the organs, our emotions and how they relate to one another. We learn the six healing sounds that help us get in touch with our organs, and the emotion related to them. We also learn the powerful Taoist practice of the ‘Inner Smile Meditation.’ Following the guidance of a workbook, we will begin to trace our own individual emotions, study family time line

emotional patterns, and begin to see how these unbalanced emotions may have had an effect on our lives, be it relationships, the workplace, and ultimately the well being of our health. We then will learn specific techniques to get more in touch with the emotion, how to evolve the negative emotion, and embrace new patterns, healthy emotions, and open our dreams to a greater reality!

Energy Clearing and Balancing

e all have unbalanced energy at times. Something’s just not feeling right, or we’ve manifested an injury or ailment, whether physical, mental or emotional. All things begin with energy. Everything is made up of energy. You, me, your pets, plants, rocks, the table, the air. Everything. All have atoms zipping about. Some are densely packed, some have lots of space. Some are moving quickly, some are moving slowly. I’m sure you’ve heard “matter can neither be created nor destroyed”. It’s all energy, transforming from one state to another. Form follows energy. We too are made of energy. In fact, our energy field extends beyond our physical bodies. This is called our Aura. If in doubt, try these exercises: 1. Close your eyes. Have someone move slowly and quietly towards you. At what point do you detect them? To eliminate the influence of the other senses, have the person simply move their hand out to touch you. Do you feel it before they actually make contact? 2. Close your eyes, bring your attention to your hands and slowly bring them towards someone to touch them. If you’re paying attention to the subtle sensations, you’ll likely feel a bit of pressure resistance at some point. You’ve found their energy field! Energy flows through us all of the time. When everything is clear, balanced and in perfect harmony, the energy travels easily and fully, and we feel great. Peaceful, grounded, happy, healthful, at ease with ourselves and the world. However, when energy is blocked, stagnant, diminished, or, conversely there is an overabundance in an area, we are out of balance. That’s when the manifestations we don’t prefer start showing up. If your energy is blocked in an area, the longer it remains that way, the more likely you are do develop ailments either physically in that area, or in the corresponding emotions and characteristics. By clearing and balancing stuck or blocked energy, I aid the system in flowing again in a much healthier way. Each session is unique to the individual, experiencing what is needed at the time. Sessions range from a quiet time of renewal, to a steady stream of inspired insights, to visitations from loved ones beyond the veil. It’s all about you and what is in your highest good to receive.

high lighted in Oct., and you may be experiencing some big shifts this month. Are you moving houses? 7. You need to take a breath, and SLOW DOWN, this month. The best use of Oct. would be to take a short sabbatical, or holiday. Explain to your family that you need time to heal and rest. Relax your mind, as you could be close to critical over-load. It is best to heed this advice or sometimes the “powers that be” slap us in the back of the head and make us. 8. Stand up, and take a big step forward, now. Force yourself. The month of Oct. wants you to get your brain in gear and make important decisions, now. No more research is needed. It is all about action. Many people in this influence will have an overwhelming desire to make changes in their career. 9. Do not start any new ventures, in Oct. If you do there will be delays. I know that you are so ready to get the shovel in the ground, but stand firm and do nothing except get ready. Many uncomfortable situations regarding career or money are coming to an end….FINALLY .

It is time for radical changes and healing this month. Put the tissue away, and get proactive. 4. I would have recommended that you used this past summer to have a really, really good time. I hope that you had your share of fun, as you are now entering a cycle that will bring you back to reality. The coming year is all about work, it starts now. 5. You are probably thinking, “When the heck is this year going to be over”….right? This is a tough one, for sure, and runs a whacky course all the way to Dec. You will need a well deserved break by then, for sure. You will experience change, and perhaps a lightening of your heavy load in Oct, but it will still be a slug. Promote yourself at work. 6. I am sure that you have experienced some major upheavals in your life this year. It is all about change, and it is not always easy. Your home and family life is

The benefits for Hypnotherapy to Stop Smoking

t seems like everybody now is conscious of their health - we all know the things we should be doing to keep ourselves healthy but whether we do them or not is another thing entirely. One of the worst vices that many people still have is smoking. It doesn’t need to be stated at this point how detrimental smoking is to your health. It is common knowledge that smoking leads to all sorts of debilitating and deadly diseases. Stopping smoking can be incredibly hard for some people, they have grown dependent on it and reaching for a cigarette is a temptation that they just can’t resist. Hypnotherapy is an incredibly effective way to quit smoking. Hypnosis is often portrayed on television as a form of mind control. This could not be further from the truth. In fact hypnosis puts a person into an extremely relaxed state where they are more receptive to suggestion. It gets past the guard of you conscious mind and speaks directly to your subconscious mind. A lot of people wonder whether or not they can be hypnotized. If you’re wondering whether or not you can be hypnotized then the short answer is yes! By accessing your subconscious brain you are putting yourself in hypnosis. One of the best examples of this is when you are driving and your mind wonders to something other than the road in front of you, 10 minutes later you have arrived at your destination even though you can’t Consciously recall every part of the journey. Now you may be wondering how hypnotherapy ties in to quitting smoking. One of the main benefits of hypnotherapy is its ability to make your mind more malleable and open to suggestion. It is excellent for effecting change in your attitudes and beliefs that are associated with smoking and makes you ready and willing to eliminate the habit from your life. Another way hypnotherapy helps with kicking your smoking habit is it gives you a great feeling of relaxation. How many times have you heard someone say, “I need a cigarette to calm my nerves”? Stress is a great contributor to many peoples dependence on smoking and by taking part in hypnotherapy you can greatly reduce your stress levels and thus your desire to smoke. In conclusion hypnotherapy may not be for everyone but if you approach with a positive attitude then it is proven to be of great assistance with kicking your habit for good.

Your Health Is In Danger

ecause the communication between and within your cells is breaking down due to increasing oxidative stress. This causes your cell’s mitochondria to produce fewer balanced pairs of redox signaling molecules, the key to a strong immune system. Our body’s fortress is our immune system. When we have a healthy immune system our cells talk to each other in order to protect themselves against damage, detect any assault to their integrity, repair the damage when it occurs or if they are beyond repair they have an inbuilt mechanism that tells them when it’s time to kill themselves so their parts can be recycled by other cells. A faulty immune system is where the cell’s communication signals break down. Stress, radiation, toxic chemicals, burns, injuries, cuts, chemicals, viruses, fungus, and bacteria, cause this breakdown. We lack adequate minerals critical to cellular electrical and chemical communication. Our body fluids have become acidic from eating processed and refined foods. Then our blood leaches calcium from our bones to remain alkaline. This also contributes to poor communication. We don’t get enough oxygen. Processed and refined foods take more oxygen to metabolize than they give off. Then there are the 80,000 chemical toxins in our environment that don’t go through you like food. They get stuck primarily in our fat cells. This is why we are being sickened and tortured to death. The solution is to rebalance to protect, detoxify & rebuild. Our body knows how to take care of itself, but only if we go back to natural and simplify. When we are resilient in our actions, we send messages to our cells to do the same. Self-sufficiency begins with cell efficiency. When your cells are balanced and working at optimum efficiency, your body is strong and healthy. A great way to start the process is with our thoughts since they affect our emotions, which affects our body. Our minds through our beliefs are the biggest stumbling block so here’s an aphorism to repeat: “I am in need to fully rebalance and set new operations within me”. Learn how to breathe deeply. Do this when stressed and after every meal to aid in digestion and oxygenate your body.

To support our journey we need to eat nutrient dense whole foods primarily of plant origin. We need to eliminate our toxic overload by detoxifying the body and supporting its cleansing organs. The three ways to detoxify are chelation, or the binding and removal of metals and other toxins from the body, supporting the body’s innate ability to detoxify, and increasing antioxidants to combat oxidative damage and keep the detoxification pathways clear. The first step to optimizing your detox pathways is to maintain adequate hydration. In other words, drink appropriate amounts of water. Water helps flush out toxins and optimal hydration helps lower the concentration of toxic material in the body. Put your skin, liver, kidneys, colon and lymph system— your organs of detoxification on continuous clean. Make sure your body is able to make enough glutathione, your body’s most powerful antioxidant. Glutathione protects each cell, tissue and organ against disease, including cancer. Unlike anti-oxidants that come directly from food such as Vitamin C and E, glutathione is made in the body from three amino acids, cysteine, glycine and glutamate. So eat foods rich in these amino acids, particularly cysteine. Besides these building blocks the only way to increase (and it does this by 500%) the cellular production, bioavailability and utilization of glutathione in your body is to take ASEA. Visit www.PowerUpYourCells.com to purchase. You also need to increase and balance your supply of redox signaling molecules. They are the key to cellular communication that supports immune system functions that reduce oxidative stress and enhance cellular repair. ASEA is the only outside source of perfectly balanced stable and bioactive Redox Signaling molecules–identical to those your body uses every second of every day to speed cellular healing and promote health. Drink ASEA and let all health break loose while powering up your cells to build a strong immune system and combat oxidative stress. Go to www.PowerUpYourCells. com right now and get started.

Wh a t i s P r a n i c H e a l i ng? basic pranic healing P 2-day intensive course ranic Healing™ is an ancient science and art of notouch healing that improves a person’s physical and psychological health and well-being.

How can we heal without touch? We are all surrounded by an ‘invisible’ force. This invisible energy field interpenetrates the physical body in a system of health rays, meridians, and energy centers (chakras). Through this system, fresh energy is drawn in and channelled to the organs. You may have heard this invisible force described as life energy, vital energy, chi, ki, or prana (hence the name Pranic Healing). The words ‘invisible energy’ may sound odd to some, but it’s not such an unusual concept. Radio waves and electricity are forms of energy that we cannot see, yet they are now accepted as an essential part of our lives. We can’t see these energies, but we know they are there. Pranic Healing teaches how to feel this energy with your hands and how to recognize imbalances and measure energy levels. By removing diseased energy and replacing it with healthy prana the natural healing process is accelerated manifold. Pranic Healing uses eleven major chakras instead of the customary seven, allowing for more specific information about a person’s physical and psychological condition. Pranic Healing teaches how to optimally utilize the energy that surrounds us for our own benefit: for our health and well-being. What are the concepts of Pranic Healing? Prana is everywhere. It is the life force that drives all living forms and is vital in the maintenance of good health. All living structures have this life force and thus the capacity for self recovery. When sick or diseased, the prana of a living structure is blocked, misaligned, or ‘dirty’. Disease occurs first in the energy body before it manifests in the physical body. As ‘dirty’ energy is removed from the energy body, the physical body is healed. Let me say here that pranic healers do not heal people. People heal themselves. A pranic healer simply helps to create the conditions to accelerate the body’s natural healing process. How? First, the practitioner locates areas of imbalances or disease and removes blocked or ‘dirty’ energy (prana) from these areas. Second, the practitioner replenishes the area with healthy prana, thus accelerating the natural process of healing. In this way, headaches can usually be relieved in less than five minutes. Pranic Healing has also been highly successful in treating cuts and burns, broken bones, high blood pressure, chronic fatigue syndrome, muscle tension, depression, anxiety, addiction… the list goes on and on.

Where does Pranic Healing come from? Pranic Healing was developed and tested by Master Choa Kok Sui from the Philippines. He was a successful business person, a professional engineer, a philanthropist, and a compassionate Spiritual Master. He published many books, and many of them have been translated to more than 24 languages. Pranic Healing is a synthesis of Western technology and the ancient knowledge and wisdom of the East (martial arts, acupuncture, chi kung, yoga, etc.). It is not intended to replace orthodox medicine but rather to complement it. There are Pranic Healing centres on every continent. In some countries –the United States, Australia, and Columbia to name a few– pranic healers work together with doctors, and Pranic Healing is accepted as a credit course in medicine, massage, and chiropractic programs. How can I apply Pranic Healing in my life? Pranic Healing is revolutionary in its comprehensive and intelligent concept of energy. It recognizes the inherent spirituality of life without sacrificing practicality and precision. Besides working with physical and psychological ailments, it teaches in the same precise manner how to manifest goals, and attract abundance, prosperity, and success in one’s life through the knowledge of universal lawfulness and its applications in daily life. The ‘staple’ meditation linked to Pranic Healing is the Meditation for Peace and Illumination, also known as the Twin Hearts Meditation. It’s an instrument for world and community service, and it’s beneficial for the maintenance of physical and psychological health. Medical research has shown that practicing this meditation once is enough to bring one’s serotonin level up 300%. It has also shown increases in brain synchrony and oxygen saturation, and dramatic transitions from beta waves to alpha waves (relaxation response). Faye Healey grew up in Sudbury and is now a certified Associate Pranic Healer training under Senior Instructor Antjie Halim and Master Nona Castro.

GNOSIS...

Path to our Inner Reality

ear reader, you need to know that a hidden Knowledge giving answers to the eternal questions of philosophy is within you and within each human being: Who am I? Where am I from? What is the purpose of my life? How to reach Happiness? This Real Knowledge about the Mysteries of Life and Death is called “Gnosis” – A Greek word meaning “Knowledge”, a transcendental one. Indeed Gnosis transcends time and space. It always existed during all ages, under all latitudes while taking various shapes – though coming from the same very spring of Eternal Wisdom. Therefore, Gnosis is this very spring and doesn’t belong to anyone. It is a very archaic knowledge that some people came to understand and which revealed to them the laws of the universe, nature and man. Samael Aun Weor is one of those, an Avatar (Messenger), a Master of this Real Wisdom who therefore brought Gnosis th back to light during the 20 century to unveil what was either hidden or lost: the tools to extract and develop this superior knowledge within us, and the map of Self-Realization, Liberation, Crystallisation of the Soul and Incarnation with the Spirit, Illumination, Christification or whatever name we give to the process of merging once again with our profound Reality, the Being of the eternal philosophy. It is when the word “religion” becomes reality – “religion” comes from Latin “religare” which means “to reunite” ourselves with our Being. As “we recognize a tree by its fruits”, we recognize a man by his works. Then whoever studies and puts into practice the Gnostic teachings of Samael (completing over 70 books and hundreds of conferences) can verify by himself that: Yes Gnosis is unbelievably complete, amazingly accurate and absolutely transcendental; Yes Gnosis unveils the mysteries of all religions and civilizations (Tibet, China, India, Egypt, Greece, Babylon, Europe, America etc), explaining their universal symbols and therefore helping us verify that they all drank from the same original fountain; Yes Gnosis gives the practical tools to make a real change in our life, to awaken our consciousness, to understand ourselves deeply and therefore to be able to really understand our fellowmen, and to develop virtues and infinite possibilities that are latent within each human being. “Man, know yourself, and you will know the universe and the gods...” The practical tools to awaken our consciousness are summarized in 3 main factors: first to die psychologically (the same “Buddhist annihilation”: elimination of all defects that we carry within us); second to be born again (spiritually – related to white Tantrism and the secret science of Alchemists who transmuted the lead of personality into Gold of Spirit); third to sacrifice ourselves for our fellowmen. These are the 3 required Factors to awaken our consciousness; wherever one of these factors is missing, no real inner work and change

can appear: one is on a wrong path leading to a dead-end. To awaken our consciousness is the purpose of our life – and among the purposes of Gnosis and weekly classes we offer. It is the condition to answer the earlier mentioned questions of philosophy and to become truly happy. It is the condition to first become truly human, not “animal” as mankind is in those times that Hindu people call “Kali-Yuga” (Black Age) and then to reunite our human nature with a particular and secret divine nature. It is the way to fulfill the real purpose of our life because at the end of our days we don’t want to feel like having lost a great opportunity, not having realized anything real, and ending up being disappointed and disenchanting. Dear reader, Gnosis is for those who don’t want their life to be a drama any longer, a tragedy nor a comedy, but a Masterpiece! “To Be or not to Be, that is the question...” of the life of each one of us. We need to make the decision: “Each of us must decide once in our life if we take the plunge to triumph, risking everything, or if we stay behind watching the triumphant ones pass by.” Weekly classes held on Wednesdays, 6.30 pm Old Town Hall Community Centre 61 Main Street AGEAC Ottawa, 613-301-6772, ottawa@ageac.org

Darshan with Mother Meera by Leela Sivsammye xcitedly, my friend Cathryn, who has just returned from Montreal, recounts her experience. “You must go to her website and see for yourself. I have not experienced so much love from one person. I feel like a brand-new being.” In my skeptical mind, I responded with “You are so impressionable, you always see the best in everyone, my dear friend.” A few days went by and I forgot our conversation, until she sent me the link. When I clicked it open, I felt moved in subtle ways that I cannot explain. I felt compelled to help, to be part of this divine work, and so without a thought as to the enormity of the undertaking, I asked if she would come to Calgary. Imagine my surprise when they responded with, “She would come if there was enough interest.” I have never met this beautiful being, and I did not know what a Darshan was, but I booked a facility and spread the word. When I entered the building, it was exactly as I saw it ... in an earlier dream, including her sitting on a round stage. Mother Meera is an enlightened being from India who is described as an incarnation of the Divine Mother. She is on a mission of consciousness. Her purpose is to open people into the divine light and help them surrender to this light with their heart, mind and soul. She is not interested in conversations, as it has no meaning, nor is she is interested in followers and often says, “If you can, pray to the Supreme directly. You do not need an intermediary.” I learned that a Darshan takes about two hours and is free. Each person takes a turn approaching in front of Mother Meera, who then takes his or her head between her hands and blesses them. She says, “A human being has two lines along the legs. They join at the base of the spine and become a single line reaching to the top of the head. This line is thinner than a hair and has knots in it which divine personalities can help undo. It is delicate work and great care has to be taken. When I hold your head, I am untying those knots. I am removing obstacles to your Sadhana, your practice. When I touch your head, the light moves upwards in the white line and will indicate, like a meter, the development of your Sadhana.” The day after the Darshan, I was quite agitated about my son. I felt like a runaway freight train of emotions and could feel no peace. Mother Meera listened and just held my hands as I ranted on. Slowly, I felt this energy pulsing through from my hands into my body. I became silent and conscious of every thought as the energy increased in intensity. Suddenly, my eyelids flickered backwards as I consciously acknowledged

October 2011

I was in meditation. I had never experienced this deep meditative state while staying conscious at the same time – a space where there is no time, only the awareness of being one with all that is. In that state, all is resolved, and I opened my eyes to the world of illusion with no pain or grief, only a feeling of acceptance, ofpeace, and knowing that I was touched by the divine and I felt humbly thankful. Mother Meera explained, “In silence one can receive more. I give exactly what is needed to each person. God is silent. Everything comes out of silence. In silence, more work can be done. The true experience of bliss is without words. Darshan is the bestowal of Love, Light and Grace, a gift to humanity.” I was struck with the thought that this is what it is like to live with someone who has no ego. She is simplicity herself, in thought, words and actions. From moment to moment, her presence exudes the “Nowness” of living. Mother Meera will be traveling in Eastern Canada this Fall, starting in Ottawa Sunday, October 9th, Toronto October 11th and Port Colborne October 12-18.. If you are interested in receiving Darshan, please go to the website and register. http://meremeeradarshancanada.com/en You must pre-register to reserve your seat.

The Intuition Movement is Here!

here are communities of people, professional and nonprofessional organizations, countless authors and entire academic institutions putting words to what we already know to be true – that there is a power within each of us that has been guiding us from the moment of our first breath. In his essay, Integral Theory of Truth and Reality, Pitirim A Soroken states that Intuition… “has been one of the most important and fruitful ‘starters’ of an enormous number of the most important scientific, mathematical and philosophical discoveries and technological inventions…and mystical intuition has been the main source and main force for the creation of the greatest artistic, religious and ethical systems of culture.” It couldn’t be clearer that at every level of society and within every culture, there are essential intuitive responses that arise to fill the needs of each population. These responses are entrenched within our societies and cultures and have created the very foundations of our social, emotional, spiritual, intellectual and physical world. So…if this has been happening throughout time, as we know it, how then can I claim that it is only now that there is an Intuition Movement? Well, James Gimian, publisher of Shambhala Magazine states that, “a larger community on the verge of recognizing itself qualifies as a movement. And when a movement reaches critical mass, the opportunities to make a positive, even revolutionary impact on our world increases significantly.” (July 2011) So where is this larger community that recognizes itself and has the courage to exclaim what has been unstated for centuries? Consider some of the following institutions and/or organizations that include research on intuition: The Institute of Noetic Sciences, The Intuition Network, The International Conference of Science and Consciousness, The Institute of HeartMath, The University of Philosophical Research, The Dana Foundation (brain research) and The Edgar Cayce Institute for Intuitive Studies. And also consider the expansiveness of authors such as, Jeffrey Mishlove Ph.D, Dr. Rita Louise, Caroline Myss Ph.D and Dr. Mona Lisa Schulz, reaching out to the community of people seeking greater understanding of their intuitive experiences. The works of intuitives, known and unknown, to themselves or the larger community, have been consistently revolutionary, if you consider the countless works of art and scientific discoveries and inventions that have arisen from the inner depths of their creators and inventors. And yet, the larger community of people who live consciously with their intuition are just beginning to name it with greater intensity. We are allowing ourselves

to accept that there is an aspect of our being that guides us in every act of our life and when we listen with greater openness, it pours through with even more intensity. Our spirits soar with it, our families grow with it, our minds expand with it, our art explodes with it, our hearts explore with it, our music reaches new heights and our work and our truth flows from it. We are a movement of individuals because of the wisdom that moves us from within. And we are now a community with a voice, recognizing itself, and hoping to bring more awareness of the amazing experience of intuition to each being. The next step is to engage consciously to include more intuitive practices in the homes, the schools and the workplace to assist in creating a more peaceful, harmonious and balanced society. Cheryl Driskell is the author of Awakening Through Insight Intuition and is teaching Intuitive Development Studies in Ottawa, October 15th and 16th and Love and Light Workshops on November 19th and 20th. www.intuitivelight.com 613-261-9128.

Dealing with Difficult People… Stop Resisting and Accept By Mike Martin

Excerpted from Change the Things You Can (Dealing with Difficult People)

Stop Resisting and Accept Learn to deal with the difficult people in your life by improving your communication skills, accessing additional resources, and knowing when it’s time to just accept things as they are. “We struggle to define ourselves from earth and vast blue sky We open to explore ourselves unto the question why Then we realize that hoping will not take us to our dreams One step is just beginning To accept life as it seems” The difficult person in your life may never change but you can. Your challenge may be to stop resisting and to accept the person and situation as exactly as it is. What stands in your way is called resistance. It can be provoked in many different ways and for a variety of reasons. The first step to overcoming resistance is to be more aware, or conscious that we are actually resisting something, or in your case the difficult person or situation that has arisen. One of the early signs of resistance is that we notice ourselves becoming more defensive. We put up an emotional wall to ideas, information, and even people. We can physically feel our stomach tighten and our blood pressure rise. We may get flushed or red in the face. Our adrenaline kicks in and we have a strong urge to fight or flee. If this happens to you around your difficult person then you may be having a stroke or heart attack, but more likely you are experiencing resistance. Just to be clear, resistance is much deeper than disagreeing. When we disagree we can sometimes become stressed or even angry, but we don’t usually want to run away or beat the other person to a pulp. Resistance is always about us and never the other person. They may provoke the feelings inside of us but they cannot change us. That is completely up to us. Where we most resist change is precisely where we must change. We need to recognize our resistance and then change ourselves or our attitudes to watch it recede. To do that we must be open and also find clarity around the situation. Then change. There was a fairly bad science fiction program on television a couple of years ago that featured a group of man-machines called ‘borgs’ as the bad guys. Their mission was to take over the brains of humans and assimilate them into their cyborg consciousness.

October 2011

Once the ‘borgs’ got you it was over. Their slogan was “Resistance is futile”. So too with the resistance to change in real life. Accept the situation and the difficult people in your life and then go about the change you need to make inside of yourself in order to move forward. Resistance really is futile.

Food Sensitivity Testing

ood sensitivity testing began in the 1940s with the work of a brilliant scientist named Reinhardt Voll. Voll discovered that the electrical resistance of the human body is not homogenous and that meridians existed over the body which may be demonstrated as electrical fields. Furthermore, he showed that the skin is a semi-insulator to the outside environment. By the 1950s, Voll had learned that the body had at least 1000 points on the skin which followed the 12 lines of the classical Chinese meridians. Using the work of Dr. Voll, another brilliant scientist by the name of Roy Curtain, build a machine known as the IQS. This machine was able to ‘map out’ the electromagnetic frequency of wheat and many more foods, inhalants etc. This electrical signature was then translated into digital code so that it could be stored in the software of the computer. When you are being tested for wheat (for example) the IQS converts the digital code of wheat back into its electrical frequency, and a probe sends that frequency of wheat into the acupuncture point on your finger. The frequency then travels along the acupuncture meridian until it reaches the brain. The brain then ‘reads’ the signal and has the body elicit a skin resistance response, which the probe picks up at the same acupuncture point. The IQS converts this skin resistance response into a numerical value which is then recorded and displayed on the monitor. Based on your skin resistance response we can tell if you are perfectly tolerant, mildly, moderately or severely intolerant to wheat or any substance being tested. Food sensitivities are different from food allergies. Allergies are defined as toxic clinical reactions to food or food additives that involve the immune system. Sensitivities are defined as the inability to tolerate food which induces chronic activation of the innate immune system. Continually eating a food that one is intolerant to will drain the body of energy. Dr. Curtain has been steadily improving his technology since the 1970s and the accuracy of the machine is nothing short of phenomenal. Dr. Curtain is still very active in the health field. He is one of the most passionate members of the wellness community. I have the privilege of using Dr. Curtain’s latest IQS scanning technology. It is painless, noninvasive and accurate. IQS testing is the end product of a 40-year evolution in Biological-Energetic/Biofeedback testing. Dr. Curtain developed this new approach to good health utilizing a modern computer and a sophisticated program. Relatively new in this country, it is felt by many people to be the most significant breakthrough in health in many years. The technique is understood, accepted, and used widely in other countries, especially Germany, France, and England. I have personally performed hundreds of these scans over the last 6 years and it has been the “missing piece” in the health puzzle for so many of my clients.

One of the newest uses for the IQS scan has been assessing an individual’s sensitivity to Electro Magnetic Frequencies (EMFs). The IQS scan tests for 10 of the most common types of EMFs or electronic smog. This includes cell phone, x-rays, power lines, WI-FI, household electricity and many others. Everybody has different levels of sensitivities to different EMFs and although nobody gets healthier from exposure to these dangerous frequencies, some are more sensitive than others. The readings obtained from the IQS scan will inform the individual as to how weary they have to be about all the EMFs that surround us. The IQS doesn’t only identify the problem – it will also help identify the solution. The IQS scan will also help determine how effective the various EMF protection technologies will be at protecting you from the harmful effects. With the World Health Organization (WHO) identifying the dangers of the cell phone just this past week, it is very valuable information that you and your family will want to have. Ted Aloisio is a Certified Nutritional Microscopist and Electro Dermal Technician. He is also the author of three books including Blood Never Lies. He will be in Ottawa October 23rd, 24th and 25th performing live blood cell assessments as well as food sensitivity testing.

Enjoy each bite, enjoy each moment by Laureen Osborne

indless eating is a strong drive of weight gain and obesity. More than a billion people worldwide are obese. It is being called an ‘epidemic’. Obesity is measured by having a body mass index (BMI) of 30 or over. Overweight is considered a BMI of 25 or over. What are the causes? Eating too much - how much we eat predicts how much we will weigh, not moving enough and eating poorly are all common causes. The practice of being fully present in each moment is called Mindfulness. To end our struggle we must learn not to let regret, worry or fear dominate our lives in the present. ‘Mindfulness is deliberately paying attention, being fully aware of what is happening both inside yourself – in your body, heart and mind, and outside yourself – in your environment. Mindfulness is awareness without judgment or criticism.’ Jan Chozen Bays MD, author of Mindful Eating. In our eight week workshop entitled ‘Mindful Eating for Health & Well-Being’, we offer mindfulness practices such as mindful eating, mindful breathing, mindful walking and deep relaxation. Mindful eating involves paying full attention to the experience of eating and drinking, both inside and outside the body. We pay attention to the colours, smells, textures, flavours, temperatures, and even the sounds (crunch!) of our food. We taste our food fully with all of our senses, without any distraction, to experience the deep joy of eating and – in the process – the joy of being alive and present. We pay attention to the experience of the body. Where in the body do we feel hunger? Where do we feel satisfaction? What does half-full feel like, or three quarters full? We also pay attention to the mind. While avoiding judgement or criticism, we watch when the mind gets distracted, pulled away from full attention to what we are eating or drinking. We watch the impulses that arise after we’ve taken a few sips or bites: to grab a book, to turn on the TV, to call someone on our cell phone, or to do a web search on some interesting subject. We notice the impulse and return to just eating. We notice how eating affects our mood and how our emotions like anxiety influence our eating. Gradually we regain the sense of ease and freedom with eating that we had in childhood. With practice, we are able to bring awareness to what we are thinking and doing moment to moment. This awareness allows us to notice our feelings and emotions throughout the day giving us more control over our lives.

.O^YbSPSMK^SYX$ 6A>K> #H 3HQBGL "HF> %KHF Our Bodies - Our bodies produce toxins naturally as a by-product of natural processes.

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

Toxins - A toxin is a poisonous substance produced by living cells or organisms that is active at

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

Food - There are major concerns over the 3000 + chemicals which are used and found in our

processed and packaged foods today. Many of them are classified as additives; others are leaked into food from agricultural practices, manufacturing processes and equipment, packaging and even the cooking utensils we use.

Environment - We have known about toxins invading our living spaces for years.

Pollution, toxic buildings, chemicals in the home, allergens in the air are all impacting our ability to live well. It just doesn't stop and it won't as long as the majority of the human population continues to grow and demand convenient, fast paced and gadget-filled lifestyles.

Lifestyle - The fast paced, "got to have it all" lifestyle has a major impact on how and what we

put into our bodies. We are gobbling up a lot of processed, convenient foods filled with unhealthy additives. Our bodies are quickly becoming incapable of keeping up. Most detox programs work only with one area of the body such as the bowels, others may cleanse the liver or blood, and others may assist the kidneys or the skin. However, there are few programs that can effectively work to detoxify your entire body. The ionSpa detox foot bath is one of those few. During an ionSpa detox foot bath session, large concentrations of negative hydrogen ions are released during the process of electrolysis. These ions are absorbed into the body by osmosis through the epidermis of the foot. Once entered into the system, these negatively charged ions act as an ultra high-powered antioxidant. Who hasn’t heard about the benefits of antioxidants today? To refresh your memory, an antioxidant is a compound which has a weak attraction to one of its electrons. It readily surrenders an electron to a free radical which neutralizes it and ends the electron “stealing” reaction. The ion does not become a free radical by donating an electron because it is stable in either form. Once the free radical is neutralized, it can be removed from the body. Negative hydrogen ions act as “free radical hunters,” helping to prevent cell and tissue damage that could lead to cellular damage and disease. It also improves your immune system and any allergic reaction you may be suffering from.

This comfortable and very effective way of detox is now on special! You will get two appointments for the price of one. $50. The Sunroom Wellness center, Kanata Contact Sonja Melbø at 613 - 599 - 5955

What is quantum physics? Quantum physics is the study of the behaviour of matter and energy at the molecular, atomic, and nuclear level. Energy is not continuous and as such quantum physics is the branch of science that deals with the distinct, indivisible units of energy that are called quanta.

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

So lets simplify The way I understand Quantum physics to work, is like this: 1. Lets go on a trip, we will start with the Earth. 2. Then we have the continents, then a country, a city, and there is a human. 3. The human has a hand made up of cells. Cells are made up of atoms, which again are made up of particles. 4. A particle is a small object that cannot (so far) be measured. It moves in every random direction at different speeds. The particles’ random movements create energy. 5. The only time a particle is not moving is when the temperature is at 0 Kelvin (-273.15 degrees Celsius). This zero point is considered the lowest possible temperature of anything in the universe. As far as I know the only place we have found particles close to that temperature is at the edge of our inverse. 6. So what does this means? An atom is built up of particles. Everything everywhere in the universe is made up of particles. Particles are energy everywhere in the universe

As Niels Bohr (Winner of the 1922 Nobel Prize for physics, chiefly for his work on atomic structure) said, “Anyone who is not shocked by quantum theory has not understood it.”

So now you know where energy comes from. The next step is to learn how to collect it. How can you use energy and channel it? For what purposes can you use this energy? The answers are: your imagination is your limit. Your only limitation. There will be courses held where you will learn how to collect and use this energy. During these courses I will help you begin to develop the skills of manifestation, clairvoyance, claircognisance, clairaudience, clairsentience, healing, and so much more. Life can be tough and painful at times, but it does not have to be. Everybody has a big support group of guides and angles. Their only purpose is to support, guide, help and protect you. During these courses you will learn how to communicate with them so that you can harvest all their help, support and love. We will go into the theory of how things work and then you will be guided through the practice of receiving and interpreting these communications. Do not worry, everybody can develop this skill and consequently build strength and faith in yourself. You do not have to be born with special skills or gifts. These skills can be learned and built on at any age. Courses are held in Kanata and run Wednesday evening from 6:30 until 9:00 PM.

Starting Wednesday, October 19th For more information please contact Sonja Melbo at 613-599-5955 or sonjamelbo.artscape@gmail.com 90
