Heart Whispering

e’re excited to unveil the much anticipated Heart Whispering Course in Ottawa, a first, exclusive to our school. After almost 30 years of study, Cheryl Jiala Driskell has been guided to share some of the marvelous techniques that open each of us to our greatest wisdom, to making our dreams come true, expanding our abundance, opening us to the loving source and to happiness and health, while releasing the “veils of unawareness” that block our heart as described by the Sufis. Sign up on our events page at the Canadian School of Naturotherapies and Spiritual Development. Sign up by October 15th and receive $35 off!

Be In Your Heart Training

This is another one of our amazing exclusive programs! Through the Be In Your Heart training, you will really connect with your awareness of the Universe and how it works hand in hand with you. You will learn how easily you can evoke love and compassion in any given moment and share it with everyone. You will also reduce awkward or difficult interactions with others and reduce your fears, simply by connecting to your compassion in new and awesome ways.

This is the first training workshop towards obtaining your Angel Practitioner Certificate. Our beautiful friend Carol Solis (trained with Charles, son of Doreen Virtue) will guide you to lovingly connect and transform your life with your Angels. Welcome your angels to protect you, to guide you and to show you the difference between ego presence and Angel presence. You will connect with the Arch Angels and learn how to receive their messages. You will also learn how to do readings and to recognize the signs the Angels send you everyday to support you in your life. This is always an exciting and fascinating weekend workshop!

y nature we are resilient and have the ability to cope with the daily challenges of life. We can also tolerate a great deal of stress and still go on. At the same time we can eat, digest, breathe, think and imagine, and have numerous subtle and complex systems working all at once. Our bodies and minds may even be giving us messages that are at times quite loud. Yet, we have the ability to ignore these, and we often disregard them. We ignore many feelings and often do. For we are a busy bunch. What if we slowed down to explore this human life of ours? Living with awareness has always been enticing for me. Who am I? What am I? What are my limits, or do I have limits? It is all fascinating. I soon came to see that I did have limits. Granted, I cannot become an Olympic athlete, but I can live my life fully, happily with dignity and freedom. That is what interests me. However, it sometimes appears next to impossible to achieve this objective. Meeting so many clients, I have come to the undeniable conclusion that we all have a story to tell, a past that is part of our history. Many feel that their troublesome past is still very alive within them - that it is part of their daily life. It is kept alive through thoughts which arise, as we dwell on events of the recent past, the distant past, and all the way into past lives. We carry memories of events that affect us consciously or not, but they do affect us. The ancient scriptures would say that the past moulds you, that you are the result of your past. Your tendencies or fears are based on this memory. Memory is timeless. The result of this is that we are never fully present. It also become difficult to welcome the “new you”, a future with so much potential. That is why through

he wounded inner child has a wish that Mom and Dad would be different than they are. And this is often at the root of much of life’s dissatisfactions. Even with much healing, this program can still be hidden in your subconscious beliefs and manifest in subtle ways. Until you let it go, you will never find the inner peace that you are seeking. It is key to living with acceptance, and key to humanity’s freedom. We have a world of people waiting for unconditional love and acceptance. The wounded, inner child is still seeking to one day receive the love and acceptance that s/he never received from Mom and Dad. But it will never come. Left unaddressed, your adapted inner child will continue to project this search for love into all relationships and their life circumstances - looking, hoping and waiting. While it’s entirely understandable that your inner child would have wanted unconditional love, it’s the continued expectation that your parents should have been different than they were that will create suffering for you. Expecting how someone should be makes a judgment about another’s state of consciousness, based in the future, and will only lead to disappointment when it’s not met. It does not allow you to meet them as they are, in the present. The reason your parents did not meet your expectation of love and acceptance is that they couldn’t: if your parents had had a different state of consciousness in that moment, they could have made a more loving choice, but they didn’t have a different state of consciousness so they couldn’t and didn’t make this choice. Same applies to all others. In any moment, a person makes one choice from many possibilities, to the best of their ability. However, included in that moment of consciousness, experience, knowledge, and skills are many influencing limitations (pain, traumas, distortions, karma, miasma, etc.). Acceptance of your parents is key to acceptance of all others and yourself. Many adults will intellectually grasp that their parents did the best that they could, and hold this view without blame. Yet, the emotional acceptance of this by the inner child is entirely different and necessary for healing. If your inner child is still looking for love ‘out there’, hoping to receive it once s/he meets their expectations, then you are living with a perception of lack within yourself. Nobody will ever be able to heal this but you - not through expectations of yourself, but love and acceptance of yourself. Your

inner child must stop waiting for love from mom, dad, husband, wife, lover, or anyone else. Recognizing your God-Self as your true parent is vital to breaking patterns of lovelessness both for you and for the collective, because the causation of this illusion is a negative alien agenda mind control program, intended to confuse the Source of love, and create emotional disconnection, and a digression of consciousness. As you learn to be the parent to your inner child, you become One within as Divine Mother, Father and Child, and you are free to release the pain of your upbringing, forgive, and have relationships Sourced in true love. Acceptance is not to be confused with compromising your own value or being passively resigned – quite the opposite. It means being very aware of the way things are and choosing accordingly. The truth is that you were not responsible for your parents and their unloving actions, or trying to change them, because you were not responsible for their wounding. You’re not responsible for others, only yourself. Waiting for love and acceptance is not only futile but unnecessary. You do not have to wait until you meet some expectation of yourself, or the expectations you think others have of you. The spiritual practice of acceptance is much easier when you heal your inner child. No better time than the present. Copyright Reserved.

Intuitive Guidance

he universe, your guides, your higher self is always giving you signs and directions of what you are to do and what is best for you always ..........All Ways. No one person is getting anymore or any less guidance. Only keep your mind in stillness the best you can and let go of anxieties and fear. Make a joyous state your goal, set this intent everyday that you will be in your most blissful state at all times. By doing these steps you will notice better direction coming in many forms. Intuitive information has a quality of being slightly highlighted and will be repeated many times. Such as repeated number combinations in your day or hearing the same conversation but by different people, or seeing something in a dream then seeing it again in your awake life. Books that keep coming to you are also a form of guidance. Do not overlook sickness, states of anxiety, anger, and other prolonged emotional states as intuitive guidance. These are extreme forms of guidance that are doing their best to intensely get your attention to make changes in your life. Often people want to pass these off as having no value and not as guidance. However if you are in these states these need to be your number one focus and on the other side they will lead you to what is best for you. For more information and to learn about your own intuitive abilities, how to develop them and why, please enrol in my intuitive development classes online or contact me about when a live intuitive development class will be held in your city or request one to be held there.

The Divine Light Invocation

Rev. Sherry Harris, MSW, RSW, psycho-spiritual counsellor, coach, healer, teacher

ear ago when I was working with the material of the Theosophists I came across this and used it faithfully for many years. For some reason I lost touch with it and its incredible power. Recently it came to me to look for it and reinstate in my life. The Divine Light is not the light we seen with our eyes, but Primal, First Cause Essence, that from which all consciousness and creation springs. It is Pure Essence; you could call this God, the ultimate Source. Its ability to help manifest wholeness and wellbeing is unparalleled in my opinion and experience. All may use this with the same healing benefit. It does not matter if you are religious, spiritual or neither. The words and actions go like this: Exhale and slowly inhale, lifting your arms above your head as you smoothly and gradually tense the body. Holding your breath, affirm to yourself: I am created by Divine Light; I am sustained by Divine Light; I am protected by Divine Light; I am surrounded by Divine Light; I am ever growing into Divine Light. Exhale and lower you arms slowly. See yourself standing in a shower of brilliant white Light. See a stream of that Light flowing in through the top of your head and illuminating every cell in your body as if you were a translucent vessel, being filled with liquid Light. Maintaining this image, with your arms at your side, exhale, inhale, hold and then gently tense the body and repeat the above statement in bold and italics. Concentrate on feeling the Light within you. It may feel like Love, Peace, Joy or some other Divine attribute. Let the Light suffuse your body and flow out from you. Say silently to yourself: Every cell of this, my physical body is filled with Divine Light; every level of my consciousness is illumined with Divine Light. The Divine Light penetrates every single cell of my being, every level of my consciousness. I have become a channel of Light. I am One with the Light. Continue to see yourself filling and overflowing with Light opening wide the doors of your spiritual heart centre and let the Light stream forth from your heart centre, forming a clockwise spiral around you which reaches up to rejoin the source of Light above. Into the spiral of Light place any concerns you have, envisioning them as you would like them to be, not as they are. See the Light encircle them completely with the spiral moving high above you, taking the images with it. See them merge with the source of Light, becoming One with the Light, received by the Light. Know that what you have envisioned is held within The Divine Light and will be activated if it is in your highest good for this

Remember what we ask for is not always in our highest growth pattern. You may also do this with another, placing them in the spiral of Light and envisioning them healthy, happy, whole, complete and strong. The Light will spiral around them in a clockwise direction completely enveloping their body, filling them with radiant, pure white Light. You may also do this for Mother Earth, people or animals in general, life in general. When you have finished place your hands in prayer position at your heart, giving thanks to the Light for this magnificent gift of healing. This is one of may ways to work with the supreme power and grace of Light, Pure Essence. If you would be interested in joining a group to learn more and practice working with the Light, I will be starting one soon.

Gratitude: a key to happiness By Master Lynda Chaplin

ratitude is an unconditional appreciation for everyone and everything. The word unconditional is very important. It is appreciation for whatever and whoever happens to be part of your life at this moment. There are other aspects of gratitude besides appreciation. There is also an element of very deep reverence and respect. When we experience gratitude, we experience a very deep and inner response that includes appreciation, respect, and reverence. These three qualities are essential ingredients for a truly grateful heart. It is sometimes possible to feel appreciation that is limited. The limitation comes because we have not fully entered into respect and reverence for whatever or whoever is active in our life at that moment. When people are asked what they want most in life, frequently the answer is health and happiness. No matter where the person lives, or what his or her social or economic class may be, universally, people want to be healthy and happy. This is a universal fundamental desire. To achieve happiness, you need to focus on gratitude. Going through a practice will help you to achieve happiness more than you can ever imagine, because when you are grateful, you have touched the essence of happiness.

Please join with me now in a practice to develop the attitudes and behaviours of gratitude. Apply the Four Power Techniques: Body Power Sit up straight. Close your eyes. Soul Power Say hello: Dear soul mind body of gratitude, I love you. You have the power bring happiness to my life. You have the power to change my response to life. Do a good job! Thank you. Thank you. Thank you. Mind Power Visualize golden or rainbow light radiating in your entire being, from head to toe, skin to bone. Sound Power Chant repeatedly, silently or aloud: Gratitude changes my life. Gratitude changes my life. Gratitude changes my life. Gratitude changes my life … Practice for ten minutes per time, at least three times per day. The more often and the longer you practice, the better. There is a very important wisdom that you need to know to make this chanting really effective. This is much more than simply making an affirmation. You are speaking to the soul of the quality of gratitude. This is very powerful. When you repeat this mantra, you need to shift your awareness to become the quality of gratitude.

You are not just saying the words with your mind. You are not just saying the words. You are not playing tricks on yourself, trying to convince yourself of something which is actually not true. When you chant, you are going to be gratitude. When you chant like this, gratitude does change your life. The one-sentence secret of chanting is: What you chant is what you become. When you do this practice ten minutes per time, at least three times per day, you will observe that your attitudes and behaviors begin to change. The practice is so very simple, but it is very powerful. Do not be fooled by the simplicity and think that something like this could not work. The simplicity is exactly why it does work. Many blessings as you do this practice!

Look What the Cat Dragged In By Judy Spence, RN, ND(QC)

Dr. Hulda R. Clark, Naturopath and a microbiologist’s microbiologist has available several books and videos on the market on the health impacts of parasites on humans. The impacts range from gluten and lactose intolerances, to allergy, to joint inflammation and to numerous deadly effects like cancers. Amazon.com (US) has a six e-books by Hulda Clark package for $40 USD available on Kindle. I took Amazon US’s brand new $9/month unlimited Kindle subscription so I can read similar books. This service is coming to Canada shortly. Hulda Clark’s words of advice always was that if, despite your best efforts to control your various health issues, your health continually reverts to being poor, consider that a parasitic infection may very well be the root cause. If you find that you have aches, pains, irritable bowel, intractable monthly headaches or other symptoms that get worse on a cyclic monthly basis, think hormones and/or think PARASITES. Many parasites reproduce at the full moon and trigger allergy and inflammation reactions. If you want to be sure, mark your episodes of aggravation on the calendar and see if they worsen cyclically. The NAET Clinic of Ottawa tests for microbes using non-invasive computerised equipment. We also deal

ur cats and dogs can be a source of parasites that they acquire on their outdoor walks and play where they drink water that pools on the roadside or where they chase wild animals (cats bring mice home as prizes for their owners). Fresh fruits and vegetables can also harbour parasites. Health Canada reported having found parasites on the precut, prewashed lettuces found in supermarkets today. It is always wise to wash fruits and vegetables before eating them. Pesticides cannot be easily removed from fresh produce but these nasty pests can be. Parasites can enter the skin of the feet so when travelling be cautious about walking barefoot where you know animals run loose. I can recall that as young children, my two siblings and myself contracted pinworms from our pet turtles and we had to be ‘dewormed’. Those who camp or walk in high grasses like in the woods or forest, can be bitten by ticks. Infected ticks can inject you with the babesia parasite. These we call cohort infections (colleague microbes to the Lyme bacteria). I see 4+ people per year who have a current or previous infection with Lyme or its cohorts. These are very difficult infections to clear hence prevention is key. New clients that I see often have issues with yeasts and moulds. Viruses can affect the joints and people can develop allergy antibodies that cause continual inflammation to joints and sinuses. This inflammation is the inflammation of arthritis which we treat with antimicrobials. Dealing effectively with the microbes both contains and controls pain, inflammation and the chronic degradation of joints, nerves or other tissues that are attacked. Microbiology is THE course I took during nursing training that held the most fascination for me. In my own practice I find that microbes create serious adverse impacts leading to poor health. Yeasts and bacteria have the greatest role in triggering allergy and inflammation. One can become allergic to the very bacteria (staph, strept and even the good bacteria called probiotics), to yeasts, Candida, moulds, yeasts and to the toxins they emit which naturally live in their bodies. ‘Guess Who Is Coming to Dinner’ is a useful book by Daniel Thomas to have in your library. The specialty cable channel, ‘ONE’, has a weekly show called ‘Monsters Inside of Me’ that explores parasites in humans.

with Canadian and US labs to help identify which microbes are the cause, if any. We treat microbes using herbal supplements, tinctures, homeotoxicology (specific homeopathic tinctures) along with NAET (Nambudripad Allergy Elimination Technique) to reduce allergy inflammation and to increase NK (Natural Killer) cells that help you fight the microbes yourself naturally.

Degeneration to Regeneration:

Until personally experiencing and beginning to fully grasp how this phenomena works in our bodies, I had not realized how much our old history could impact on our present. Carolyn Myss says that we are all living history books. In her book “Anatomy of the Spirit”, she speaks of our “biography becoming our biology” when the little troubles, big traumas and every thought that we have during our normal life span, takes up residence and lives in our bodies affecting our life force energy by creating energy blockages. Generally the actual memory of In Ottawa area serving Ontario & the trauma is no longer available, Western Quebec however, as we begin to work in the area of healing trouble spots in our AILEEN MCKENNA bodies with Quantum-Touch therapy Certified Quantum-Touch® Practitioner it is fully possible for the physical Certified Quantum-Touch® Instructor memories either as a mental memory, Associate Polarity Practitioner or the release of a physical memory, Certified Aromatherapist as our bodies may shake, or respond in some other way, with sometimes AILEEN’S OASIS much emotional release. 613-228-2272 Self-empathy, a process wherein 613-795-3751 we use work with connecting to our aileen@aileensoasis.com feelings and needs, initially in the www.aileensoasis.com www.quantumtouch.com present moment, and then as the physical memories emerge, at the time the trauma occurred has provided another tool for self healing, or for working with clients to assist them in reconnecting to the present where the old memory resides, and in reconnecting to where the old memory may continue to present in the body. These two modalities are incredibly simple, yet unbelievably profound as they provide for clients the possibility to work on their own, or with a practitioner to heal at the deepest level possible, and to achieve wellness and wholeness.

Aileen M. McKenna, Certified QuantumTouch Therapy Practitioner/Instructor, Empathic Life Coach ecently, I’ve discovered how important it is to clear our old issues in order to experience a long life1 of high level wellness and happiness. Following the death of family members, I felt myself going into a downward spiral of anger and sadness over events of the past that had not been fully dealt with, and healed. I know as an energy healer, that these events affect us at both the physical and emotional level, remain in our body creating havoc in our relationships and in our ability to have the natural success in our lives until they are healed, if ever.

HUMOUR IN MEDIATION

had been trying unsuccessfully to keep a straight face for five minutes when I finally gave up and burst out laughing. Vera and Tony had been locked in an adversarial dance for the past three mediation sessions, each one seemingly hellbent on one-upping the other. Then last week Vera had showed up at my office dressed all in black. From her black veiled hat, to her black dress to her black stockings and pumps, she was clearly dressed as someone in mourning. “I’ve just come from a funeral,” she announced. “Oh,” I said. “You certainly could have canceled our session. Was this the death of someone close to you?” “You don’t understand,” Vera said. “I’m in mourning for the death of my marriage.” Her soon to be ex-spouse, Tony, burst out laughing. “Vera, my demented darling,” he said. “You certainly have a flair for the dramatic, I’ll give you that.” The next week Vera was back to dressing normally, but Tony came in wearing a T-shirt that said “Jail the Male,” a reference to Vera’s threats to imprison him if he didn’t pay her enough alimony. When she saw him Vera shrieked with laughter and said, “OK, Tony, you win.” Tony replied, “No, Vera, you win, you crazy drama queen.” Then they both laughed hysterically till they were sobbing and I, unable to hold back any longer, joined in with them. Yes, Tony and Vera had some serious legal issues to work out. Yes, they were at odds on many things and would have several heated discussions in the future before finally reaching an agreement. But now, just for a moment, they were connected through their laughter, their common sense of humour, and their deep affection for each other which had recently been obscured by their anger and frustration. Then I remembered the classic joke about mediators. Next month I’ll be back with another serious column, but for now, I share this joke with you. “How many mediators does it take to change a lightbulb? Well, let’s unpack that shall we? First of all, let’s be clear that it isn’t the mediator’s function to change the lightbulb. The mediator will explore with the lightbulb how it feels about the on and off nature of its job, its unhappiness at always having to work nights, and its relationships with the other parties, including the new lightbulbs that it feels are a threat to its position. The mediator will talk to the new lightbulbs, reframing and normalizing their observation that the principal lightbulb is completely out of its box, and identifying that their real issue is that being picked on one at a time constantly undermines their team spirit.

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

613.237.7335 The darkness seems quite hostile to all the lightbulbs and keeps telling them to go and unscrew themselves. The mediator will allow it to vent its anger and express its distress at how it always feels unwanted. The mediator will help guide the darkness and the lightbulbs, both new and mature, to a solution reflecting their new understanding of each other. Bright sparks will realise that you’ll have to be left in the dark now because the final outcome is confidential.” Evita Roche was Canada’s first full-time lawyer-mediator. Since 1979, she has helped over 5,000 couples mediate the issues arising from their separation. In the 1990’s Evita was a Professor of family law and mediation at the University of Ottawa law school, where she received the first Excellence in Teaching Award. Her private practice is restricted to separation and divorce mediation, and she frequently delivers seminars on subjects related to family law.

Jaw Pain (TMJ) and New Life Acupuncture Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine Center By Steve Ryu, R.TCMP, R.Ac.

he temporalmandibular joint is the joint connecting the upper and lower jaw. TMJ disorders, commonly just called “TMJ”, are used to describe pain or dysfunction in this joint. TMJ typically involves pain and stiffness of the joint. There may also be clicking or popping noted when chewing or opening the mouth fully, like when one yawns. Or there may be associated symptoms like headaches, neck stiffness, or even difficulty sleeping. TMJ is linked to stress, teeth grinding, dental problems, and excessive gum chewing. Of all the joints in the body the jaw joints are the only ones that move simultaneously. This creates problems that are unique to the jaw area. TMJ disorders can occur when the joint’s disc erodes or moves out of its proper alignment, the joint’s cartilage is damaged by arthritis, the joint is damaged by a blow, or the joint muscles become fatigued from overwork. The muscles that move these joints are small and have to work hard- they are involved in speaking, eating, laughing, yawning and singing- and it is relatively easy to overwork them. Stress can also take a toll on the TMJ joint- a lot of people grind their teeth when they are stressed, nervous, or angry, or during their sleep, which puts enormous strain on the small joints and muscles. We can also cause strain to the area through our eating habits, like biting off hard food like chocolate or carrots. TMJ disorders can cause pain or tenderness in the jaw, aching pain in and around the ear or in the facial muscles, difficulty chewing, headaches, and difficulty opening the jaw. In Western Medicine, TMJ disorder can be treated with physiotherapy and massage and with exercises, which teach us proper jaw alignment. Usually the results of this treatment are positive. Medications such as anti-inflammatories, muscle relaxants, and cortisone may be prescribed. Acupuncture can help with TMJ disorder in a number of ways. When it comes to pain, acupuncture can give

fast and positive results. Acupuncture can also help reduce inflammation to the area, as well as bring blood and energy circulation to the area, all of which help to promote healing. The muscles will begin to relax and automatically correct the opening movement. The meridians that have connections to the jaw belong to the Gallbladder, Triple Burner, Small Intestine, Stomach and Large Intestine (partly). A deficiency of Blood and Energy (Qi) in these meridians is usually the cause of the pain. Blood and Qi will stagnate and can cause severe pain and stiffness. The combination of acupuncture with other therapies and removing stress to the area can help to resolve this disorder. Things that can be done to reduce stress on the TMJ joints include maintaining a relaxed jaw posture, avoiding clenching or grinding teeth, avoiding overusing the jaw muscles such as avoiding sticky or chewy foods and cutting food into small pieces, and working to reduce stress and anxiety.

What is The Crystal Journey?

t’s a musical odyssey with some amazing instruments. Having performed for over 12 years with shows across North America Crystal Journey visits St Pauls University in Ottawa for an amazing evening of sound on Saturday, October 25th. Ottawa has been home to some great CJ concerts over the years and the fan’s are one of the reason’s among many others. Crystal Journey was even part of the Winterlude Festival a few years back, performing over 15 shows in 2 weeks If you have not been to one of the Crystal Journey concerts this is what you can expect, Two set’s of improvised and soul moving music with the incredible tones of Paiste Planet Gongs, Quartz Crystal Bowls, Vibraphone and Iranian Santoor. Paiste Planet Gongs are tuned to the natural harmonic series based on the orbital properties of the Earth, Moon, Sun, and Planets. All of these gongs resonate in harmony with the celestial bodies and communicate a distinct aspect of the Music of the Spheres, which was first documented by Pythagoras in the 6th Century BC. Each planet gong contributes a vital pitch to the total harmonic resonance of our solar system. The Bowls are made of 99.992% crushed quartz crystal that is heated to 4000 degrees in a centrifugal mold. The thickness of the bowl determines the note, digitally tuned to C D E F G A and B corresponding to the charkas, our energy centers; root (C), sacral (D), solar plexus (E), heart (F), throat (G), third eye (A), and crown (B). The diameter of the bowl determines the pitch, ranging from 6 inches to 22 inches. Persian Santoor consists of a trapeziform case made of walnut wood, approximately 90 cm wide at the broad end, 36 cm wide at the narrow end and 6 cm deep. The strings are fixed to hitch-pins along the left-hand side and wound round metal wrest-pins on the right by means of which they are tuned with a tuning-key (Tuning Wrench). Each quadruple set of strings rests on a movable bridge of hardwood (kharak). The bridges are placed so that the strings are divided into three sections, giving the fundamental note and two higher octaves. The Vibraphone (also known as the vibraharp or simply the vibes) is a musical instrument in the struck idiophone subfamily of the percussion family. The vibraphone is similar in appearance to the xylophone, marimba and glockenspiel.

So as you can see there is a lot of sound at a Crystal Journey concert. It is all woven together like a colorful tapestry. Come and join us for this very special event. Cost of the performance is $25/person and the start time is 7:30pm, doors open at 6:30pm, tickets will be available at the door. There will be limited space to lie down so sure to bring a yoga mat or blanket to lie on and arrive early if you wish to have that option, the rest of the venue is amphitheatre style seating. You will want to be as relaxed as possible to Journey into Outer Space…. Yours in Sound David Hickey, Crystal Journey www.crystaljourney.ca

Electronic Cigarettes:

The New Craze That Keeps You Hooked on Nicotine

he e-cigarette took the world by storm in 2007 when it was introduced as a revolutionary new way to help smokers quit smoking. For the first time, makers of the e-cigarette were offering smokers the chance to smoke without inhaling many of the nasties that are present in traditional cigarettes (it may surprise you to know, but arsenic is actually an ingredient). Friends and family who don’t smoke could also be relieved that they wouldn’t be breathing in any second hand smoke. Since the smoking ban, when it was declared illegal to smoke indoors at most establishments, however, some public venues accept their customers smoking an e-cigarette. After all, electronic cigarettes aren’t the real thing and there’s no danger of other people becoming ill from inhaling dangerous fumes or coughing all night from the smoke. At first glance, they seem like a brilliant and socially responsible way to try and quit smoking but the reality is, they are an untested product with a completely unknown safety record and they are getting whole nations of people hooked on nicotine. What’s wrong with E-Cigarettes? E-Cigarettes Encourage Smoking in Children One of the biggest problems with e-cigarettes is that

because they contain no tobacco they aren’t required to be regulated by the FDA and can be sold like sweets to anyone, without the safety testing that is applied to medication. No one knows what long-term effect they will have on the consumers who use them and more worryingly, as they are freely available to purchase online, anyone can buy them – including children. Stores don’t have to ask a young person for proof of age as they would with regular tobacco or alcohol so in some countries obtaining their ciggies could be as easy as buying a packet of potato chips. It is because of this that the UK has recently banned the sale of e-cigarettes to youth under the age of 18. Now, rather than just being a smoker’s aid, they are being procured by non-smokers as a ‘greener’ way to enjoy cigarettes and by children who think they will increase their ‘street credibility’ so that people who would not normally be exposed to nicotine, are, through e-cigarettes. The FDA say that the devices increase nicotine addiction amongst young people and that they may even tempt kids to try conventional cigarettes – the opposite of what they were intended for. Nicotine is extremely addictive and the craze among teens to try it through e-cigarettes has led some to become hooked. Many parents, doctors and anti-cigarette campaigners also assert that the marketing of such products is unethical because they are flavoured in varieties that are naturally appealing to kids, such as strawberry, peach, banana, coconut, vanilla, chocolate and mint. Nicotine

been featured in all forms of media such as Tone Magazine, CTV Morning Live, and CBC Radio.

Dr. Luke, owner of the LUKEnosis Complete Mind Therapy organization, is a Smoking Cessation Specialist, has a Masters degree in Hypnotherapy as well as a Doctorate in Psychology.

He has developed an advanced hypnotherapy technique that turns weak willed smokers into empowered Non-Smokers in just one hour. He says “This technique is so powerful we are achieving a 95% success rate. This is incredible when you think that patches are only about 16% successful. We are so confident in the success of this treatment that we offer a free backup session for the remaining 5%. In fact, if after the session any one should need an extra session, it’s theirs, FREE OF CHARGE.”

Dr. Luke has been studying Hypnosis for over 16 years now and has trained all over the world. After over a decade, Dr. Luke is still the youngest person certified by the American Board of Hypnotherapy. Dr. Luke has

Dr. Luke explains, “This powerful breakthrough technique combines the latest discoveries in hypnosis and the new science of personal achievement known as Neuro Linguistic Programming. This takes the power of hypnosis to a new level in

helping people take back control of their lives.” Many local doctors are so impressed by the power of hypnosis that they are now referring many of their patients to Dr. Luke for his Accelerated Change Stop Smoking Programme. Dr. Luke says, “I am currently building a Doctors Referral Network to keep local GP’s informed of my developments and to keep them informed of their patients’ progress. Many celebrities, professional business people, nurses and housewives have benefited from stopping smoking with hypnosis, SO CAN YOU! The good news is that this incredible method of stopping smoking is available locally. The bad news there usually is a two or three week waiting list for an appointment – but even the medical profession believes it’s worth waiting for.

“I walked out a nonsmoker!” Caroline had been a smoker for the majority of her lifenearly 30 YEARS! She had tried every type of stop-smoking aid possible, tried using ‘will power’ to quit cold turkey but to no avail-that is until she met Dr. Luke. She recently sent him this follow up email: “I promise I will totally do a video testimonial for you in the future though, as the hypnosis TOTALLY worked...not only have I not smoked...I have not even WANTED to!!! It really is amazing” Check out more testimonial videos on: www.lukenosis.com and you can contact Dr. Luke at LUKEnosis to arrange an appointment at 613-878-5874.

delivery devices are intended for adult use, primarily to assist smoking cessation or to reduce the risks of second-hand smoke, so why would they need to taste like candy? E-Cigarettes Don’t Necessarily Help You Quit As well as the lack of protection of vulnerable members of society, because the product isn’t classified as a drug, no one has bothered to check whether the ingredients are safe to inhale or if ‘electronically’ smoking even helps you to quit. The jury is still out on how effective electronic nicotine delivery devices actually are and the science is limited. Some studies say that e-cigarettes are as effective as nicotine patches, or better in helping you ditch the habit, but even then, that still only amounts to around a 7% chance of completely quitting. Other research has found that e-cigarette users were significantly less likely to still be abstaining from smoking after a seven month period compared with people who had never tried e-cigarettes. In other words, electronic smoking actually increased their chances of wanting a cigarette and some smokers have found themselves swapping one habit for another and just transferring their addiction to conventional cigarettes onto e-cigarettes. E-Cigarettes May Contain Carcinogens E-cigarettes have only just begun to be evaluated and have never been subject to any medical trials to establish their safety. In 2009 the FDA’s Division of Pharmaceutical Analysis looked at the ingredients from two brands of e-cigarette and found that some contained carcinogens (cancer causing chemicals), including nitrosamines and one contained diethylene glycol, a toxic chemical used in antifreeze. The main ingredient in e-cigarettes appears to be propylene glycol, a solvent used in a variety of applications including shampoo, toothpastes, mouthwash, food flavourings and medicines. Due to its wide application, it is generally thought of as safe but just because something is used frequently doesn’t make it safe. In fact, no studies have ever been carried out regarding respiratory, cardiovascular, endocrine, metabolic, renal or other effects in humans after inhalation of propylene glycol, so when e-cigarette companies say that inhaling propylene glycol is safe, they have no proof that this is true. The customer is the experiment.

the same way an e-cigarette smoker is exposed to propylene glycol. In addition, sexual lubricants contain propylene glycol and are rumoured to be one of the reasons why so many young couples are infertile today. Researchers know that an hour after applying a vaginal lubricant, sperm motility was reduced by 60-100% and was as effective at disabling sperm as spermicide creams. Surprisingly, the potential implication for infertility problems in e-cigarette smokers hasn’t yet been explored. Essentially, also advertised as a ‘green’ cigarette, they make smoking seem more desirable while putting people at risk from known and unknown risks in an almost unregulated market.

The Gene Keys

Unlocking The Higher Purpose Hidden In Your Dna

fantastic possibility - that humanity may be on the verge of a major shift in consciousness rooted in a new understanding of how our DNA operates - namely that it is programmed directly by the way we think and feel. The Gene Keys is a highly ambitious and sophisticated system for shaping one’s destiny. Based around 64 archetypes, it resembles the I Ching in its vast scope and profound importance, and in the resonant character of its symbolism. It uses insight and contemplation on one’s Gene Keys. Since our beliefs shape our genes, when we change our beliefs, we change the chemistry of our body. The Gene Keys are an inner language whose central purpose is to transform our core beliefs about ourselves, thus raising our lives onto a new level of awareness. ‘’Hologenetic Profiles’’, use astrological data (time, date and place of birth) to generate a unique sequence of Gene Keys that relate to many aspects of your life, including the underlying genetic patterns governing your relationships, your finances, your health and your life purpose. A reading will start you contemplating your personal Gene Keys. Your belief system may then begin to change for the better. The Gene Keys has been developed by Richard Rudd and takes the most essential aspects of the original Human Design transmission to an entirely new level; a more transpersonal, archetypal, multi-dimensional look at the 64 Gates or hexagrams of Human Design. This inner language is designed to transform our core beliefs about ourselves and raise us to a higher level of awareness revealing the underlying genetic patterns governing our life purpose, relationships, finances, and health. Could our destiny written inside our very DNA? A sampling of some of Oprah Winfrey’s Gene Keys: 24, With her gift of invention she brings new things into the world becoming a birth canal of originality and surprises..... 44 She has a gift of knowing others, being able to read others and knows who will be part of her teamwork group to help awaken the planet..... 33.2 Through mindfulness and self awareness old addictive patterns of suffering can be seen clearly by her, so she works to open us up to higher realities to accelerate our evolution of human consciousness.... 19.2 She is highly attuned and sensitive to the needs of others and the environment “even though she may have opened her heart to the Great Change, most of the world still

has not done so, “ This woman’s sensitivity might open her to see and hear the spirits and angels for she has an increased awareness of the portals of magical realms and this sensitivity also helps her to work with others in groups to bring a balance to money, work and relationships.....46.4 Under this shadow she wrestles with her relationship to her body... 12.4 She is unafraid to enter into the drama of life as she seeks for the higher order and true love. 35.6 Lastly she gives of herself and her love unconditionally in as many areas as she dares... The Gene Keys will shed light on your deepest potential, by helping you to embrace your shadows and recognize your gifts. As you apply the insights from the Gene Keys and your Profile to your life, you will literally reprogram your DNA with a new higher vision of yourself. Then you can simply watch as your new life begins to manifest. How far you go is limited only by your own imagination. Discover your story and unlock the secrets, of your identity and genius within with this profound mystical exploration into you life’s work and higher purpose.

Inner Peace is the Key for World Peace “If people can get access to inner peace, then outer peace is a reality. Peace is not just absence of conflict, it is a positive phenomenon inside of us. When our mind is quiet, our intellect becomes sharper, our emotions become positive and lighter, and our behavior becomes much more palatable. These are the effects of finding peace. Inner peace is the key for world peace.”

Doing Stress Differently

ost stress management want you to adapt to the way they suggest you deal with stress. I on the other hand believe that most of us will not change. It is just too hard to become someone we are not. I can have you look at who you are and how can stress management be adapted to your life. How can that be done, you say? How much stress are you under? Is it a constant stress or does it come like you are periodically being hit by a two by four? We will look at the amount and type of stress that you are under. Has the stress been carried from your childhood or is has it come with adult responsibilities? Well we look at if you are an introvert or extrovert. Are you audio, visual, kenetic or kinesetic. I know when I tried to meditate quietly my mind and heart would race. Instead of being relaxed and centered I became more anxious. I spent time auditing myself and realized that I would relax and go into a meditative state while gardening, walking and doing the dishes. Then I tried an experiment finding out who people were and suggesting different methods of meditating according to who they were. Unbelievably all of them began to meditate. I usually now meditate while doing Healing Touch on myself, or others. This fits who I am. It is not the way everyone would meditate. Of course there are many other modes of stress management such as laughter, which we will also explore. If you are interested in learning more about dealing with stress management that will fit into your life rather than having to fit a specific model, then join me at the House of Hope and Healing. My workshops come from a different place. I incorporate music, poems, presentations, videos, questions and group sharing. They are designed to touch your heart more than your head.

PATHWORK:

Why do these things keep happening to me!?

few years ago I began noticing that my current relationship had developed similarities to my previous one even though they had seemed entirely different in the beginning. How could this be? And why was it that there was a similar problematic pattern present in several of my friendships? And even though I seemed to be outgoing and friendly, why did I often feel excluded and separate in groups and on social occasions? Patterns such as these can show up in various life areas including career, finances, family, relationships of all kinds and in our emotional and spiritual lives. These kinds of situations are due to deeply held unconscious beliefs that we all carry, each of us with our own particular version, but all boiling down to the unconscious conviction that this belief will ensure our security in some way. In the Pathwork, these beliefs are called images. They begin in early childhood as we attempted to deal with the inevitable hurts and unavoidable hardships of life which occurred no matter how we were parented. Unbeknownst to us and because they are in the unconscious where we can’t address them, they exert a powerful limiting effect on our thoughts, emotions and behavior. They prevent us from fulfilling our legitimate desires in life. They are the underlying cause of those repeating, unpleasant situations that seem to just keep happening to us and which are very resistant to change. Eventually, we may become unhappy enough that we are willing to do what is necessary to find our way out. And the wonderful thing is that it will inevitably lead us to discover and transform important aspects of ourselves which turns out to be part of our life task and which opens the way to a more fulfilling life. The Pathwork lectures provide guidance and tools to help us do this difficult but rewarding work on ourselves. They lay out a unique practical, step-by-step process to make the unconscious beliefs conscious so they can be transformed and to dissolve the energetic magnetic field these beliefs generate in us that keeps drawing problematic people and events to us.

Erin Lamont is a registered massage therapist (RMT) and owner of Therapeutic Effects Massage Therapy located in the Village Clinic. www.therapeuticeffects.ca 613-797-5481

We need much self-acceptance, perseverance and help from others as well as meditation and prayer. Only when we can start to face this part of ourselves where these beliefs are held can we begin to cure our souls. Pathwork lectures 38 to 41 speak about images and how to work with them. Lecture 38: Images is the topic for the first monthly Lecture Discussion on October 7.

Swan Preening, Soft, virgin white feathers, Aware of my presence But not of my world. Before me, another world, No analytic philosophy, No targets, budgets or schedules. No self-appraisal, Or attempt to be Something other than Just part of. Now she rests, Head tucked under wing, Slowly drifting down stream, Among the reeds and dragonflies And the trees on either bank.

Add the day of your birth to the month of your birth. Then you will add the number 8 to your number. NOTE – If your final number adds up to double digits, add the numbers together again, and again, if you have to, until you get a single number. If you still have trouble, email me at lbaird@istar.ca

8. The month of Oct. wants you to get your brain in gear and make important decisions, now. No more research is needed. Many in this influence will have an overwhelming desire to make changes in their career. You may still be feeling quit raw, so still take time for self-care. 9. I know that you are so ready to get the shovel in the ground, but stand firm and do nothing except get ready. This could mean the end of an illness or just some trying times. Get your resume ready and prepare yourself for a new business opportunity next month

Finally, most of the trying circumstances of late should be coming to a close, now. Step up to Laura Young is an intuitive numerologist and core belief the plate and get motivated about your life.

2. Try to remain calm and patient or you will be a nerve ending with legs by the end of the month. Yes, there are mind numbing details for you to focus on and finish. Just do it! Hang on to your money for the moment. 3. Is everyone in your life sucking the life out of you? It is time for radical changes and the focus should be on “self-healing” right now. Try to make an effort to let go of past worries and force yourself to be more optimistic about the future. Raise your vibration and fake it until you make it.

7. You need to take a big breath, and SLOW DOWN, this month. Relax, as you could be close to critical over-load. Try to focus on more solitary pursuits and disconnect from your family and career. You do not want the universe to slap you in the head do you?

Healing on the Spiritual Path - medically verifiable A higher power exists that is the essence of life, and it can heal. Bruno Groening (1906 - 1959), had very precise, intuitive knowledge of this energy, and through his teaching made it freely available to everyone. Many people have been helped by this ancient knowledge.

4. Did you factor in some “me time” this summer? I hope so, because it is all about rebuilding and work, now. It is time to focus on any of the foundations that collapsed in the last few years and make them strong again. Suck it up and get busy. 5. “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 experience change, and perhaps a lightening of your heavy load, now, but it will still be a slug. Keep your chin up.

Key Points In Choosing A Mediator By Arnold Zeman, Acc.FM (OAFM)

ediation, including family mediation, is not regulated in Ontario. There are, however, a number of voluntary associations that can attest to the credentials or the skills of their members. Nonetheless, it’s crucial then that couples in search of a family mediator in Ontario keep the following factors in mind. Mediator training A 40-hour basic mediation course is common but, in my view, insufficient to practise as a mediator. Voluntary organizations of mediators now require a good deal more than this basic training. Bear in mind that a skills assessment by peers offers a higher standard of professionalism than simply checking off a list of training and experience requirements. There are practising family mediators with neither accreditations nor certifications. Some deliver highquality services; come do not. Caveat emptor. Practical experience While sheer numbers will not by themselves provide assurance of the quality of mediation services provided, it is nonetheless important to inquire as to years of practice as a family mediator, number of cases mediated, what types of issues, degree of client satisfaction, and number of cases that settled. It is also important to learn whether there have been any complaints lodged against a mediator, and if so, what the disposition of those complaints was. Subject matter expert or generalist This is a hotly and continually debated issue in the wider mediation community. In Ottawa, there is a prevalent view that the legal issues of separation and divorce should be mediated by lawyer-mediators while parenting and communication issues should be mediated by mental health professionals. At first glance, this seems to be a very sensible approach. There are, however, other considerations. Most mediators who practise other disciplines agree in principle that when mediating, they wear only their mediator hats. In reality, maintaining the boundary between mediation and another discipline may be exceedingly difficult. This is all the more so in professions that focus on advancing or protecting the physical, legal, or psychological interests of their clients. Because of these practical challenges, the paramount principle of mediation, self-determination, that the clients make the substantive, if not also the process, decisions may be at risk. So the issue of whether the mediator should be a subject matter expert or a generalist needs to be reframed. If the mediator is an expert in a substantive field, what

Will her interventions be informed by her substantive expertise, or will they be based on other factors? This why it is essential to consider the framework she uses as a mediator. Mediator’s style or framework It’s important to learn what approach to the process any given mediator uses, and to decide whether you are comfortable with it. Remember, too, that there is research showing that mediators do not always act in mediation the way they’ve said they would. Answers such as “I do what the clients need at any given moment” or “Whatever is helpful” are circular and don’t really get to the heart of the matter: what is the mediator’s objective; why is that her objective; and how consistently will she work to that end. Evaluative mediators will gather the facts and apply their knowledge of the law (or psychology or social work or family systems) to express an expert opinion as to outcomes in litigation (or in other areas). They are generally more inclined to propose settlements or make recommendations. Facilitative mediators will gather all information they believe to be relevant and assist the parties to structure their negotiation to reach a mutually acceptable resolution. They tend to be reluctant to make recommendations or give advice.

The approach is based on the view that conflict, left untended, distorts and obstructs productive interaction; conflict interaction actually worsens the original differences. The objective then is to assist parties to move to more constructive

interaction. Where the participants are able to do this, they generally have the agency and empathy to find their own solutions, if they wish to. All of these approaches are viable and legitimate. It is, however, important as a consumer to know how any given mediator will assist you, and whether her interventions are a good fit with both of you.

EOV & Stones that Aid Sensitive Children

ust last week I experienced the great honour of completing my training to become a teacher of Extra Ocular Vision (EOV) in Canada. This AMAZING training originates in Mexico, VXM (ViendoXelMundo) where it was created by Noe Esperon, who has been teaching this sacred work for 33 years. He deserves much credit for bringing forth these ancient ways of evolving human consciousness to our planet at this time. We were blessed to have one of Noe’s first generation teachers, Rosi Barrera Oaxaca visit my new teaching centre in Carp this past August. This was the first time that the EOV Teachers’ Training had been offered in English and the only time it has been offered outside of Latin America. The training is so sought after that we had people from the US and UK register for the workshop. EOV teaches children how to use the power of their own life force energy, their mind and their Spirit in ways they would never learn in school. It’s the kind of training that many of us wish had been available to us at an early age. How different would our lives had been if we had learned that we are more than our bodies, and that our power extends far beyond the physical vessel we walk the Earth in? What if we had been provided with some basic teachings on how to manage our energy and develop our psychic ability? We may have stepped into our power a long time ago… Instead, most of us have had to really work for it and we are still working, but we also know that all is in Divine order. The great news is that EOV has become part of this Divine order. Our children will now have access to these ancient and empowering teachings. The EOV process involves teaching children how to see without using their physical eyes. The children are blindfolded as they learn to read, perform daily tasks, play video games and engage in other activities. They 613 424 3877 613 408 7589 info@coraleme.ca www.coraleme.ca

are seeing but not using their eyes. It is an incredible thing to behold. One almost needs to see it to believe it. The children also work with images, learn how to cleanse their energy fields, and balance their emotions as part of the training. In Mexico EOV is described mostly as a vehicle for brain development. This is because the development of this extra-sensory ability greatly increases a child’s ability to concentrate, retain information, to listen, to focus, and to remain emotionally calm and stable. It is wonderful for any child but especially for children who are faced with social challenges, broken homes, poor grades, children who are sensitive and gifted, children who are bullied, and children who generally lack self-esteem. It’s brain development but it’s so much more … The most amazing thing about EOV training is the sudden blossoming it can initiate in a child. I have already witnessed this first hand. When the child begins to “see” and read for the first time without the use of their physical eyes, there is a massive shift of energy in the room as the child’s consciousness expands. It is quite unlike anything I have felt before as a healer or in my years of spiritual study. I feel heat rush through my body and a feeling of hot JOY as the child makes a quantum leap in consciousness. Everything changes for them in that moment. They access the power of their soul. It’s something no one can ever take away from them and they know it!

There’s a whole in the Bucket: Christian and Spiritual?

or many, spirituality and church don’t belong in the same bucket. Church is where you go to please Mom at Christmas and maybe Easter, where you go for a wedding, maybe a funeral. You may have fond memories and some not so fond memories of Sunday school in musty basements or slumped on hard wooden pews, overheated in your Sunday finest, murmuring along to dreary music. It would seem, deep spiritual experience, finding meaning, or spiritual practice is just not Christian territory. A stained history of abuse, residential schools and violence seem to overshadow the virtues this institution proclaims. To make matters worse, for those who consider themselves liberal, progressive, secular or spiritual have found ourselves to be consistently offended by religious leaders, politicians and others espousing values that grate the fibre of our being even justifying violence or war all under the banner of Christianity. I can remember feeling perplexed as a young person, feeling my life was on the line in having to confess to a series of unbelievable statements, and agree with every word in a book that said horrible things. I had to and ‘believe’ in a man in the sky because it said so in the book he wrote. hmmm… It was only after leaving and travelling down the paths of other traditions that I was able to ‘find’ what I was looking for, or maybe I was found by what I was looking for. And once there, wearing the robes of another culture, on foreign soil, I looked back , at the roots of my own cultural tradition and saw the same Truth staring me in the face. Attracted by the lure of speaking, greeting and chanting in other ancient languages, mystical practices, holy books, robes & saints, I discovered my ‘being spiritual’ was woven in to my needs for belonging, affection, power, control .

The depth I was looking for was far closer, closer than I could ask or imagine. True transformation is not something I could make happen, but rather yield to. What robe I was wearing was not that important, in my case, a distraction. Christianity at its heart is a mystical tradition: “God became as we are that we would become as God is:” Coined by St Irenaeus (c 130-200) , the early Christian insight reveals a creation infused with the divine. Human beings, as images of their creator, are being transformed into eternity, into the very life of God. This journey is a transcending of the human biological self-centred posture to an ‘other’ centredness or ‘Christ’ centred orientation. The practices of tithing, charity, fasting and repentance, are all activities, much like the practices of other traditions, of detaching from this selfcentred vision. Many Christians also participate in a communal lifestyle, where together, we press one another’s buttons and practice the challenging exercise of loving those who are different from us, those we just may not like— we are called to “love your enemies” (Matthew 5:44) after all. This communal lifestyle is also rich in shared ritual action where we participate in the divine life of total freedom. Christian worship is meant to be deeply sensual through which we enter into the holy mystery of creation utterly penetrated and divinized. It is also worth pointing out that many think of meditation or contemplation or spiritual discipline and practices as being the property of the Far East. But from its earliest days, the early Christian communities and many to this day are founded on the work of transformation of the self and the world. The word for this ‘work’ is prayer. Prayer, in its deepest sense, according to Evagrios, is “the absence of thought.” Prayer is work not because we work to achieve some kind of result or gain but rather, it is the work of yielding, of consenting to this divine indwelling. Prayer, in the pure Christian sense, is a relationship beyond thought, word or idea that leads us into our true identity, our ultimate meaning as persons, as community, as the world.

The works on Christian theology and prayer are many, a lifetime of study, but all it takes is to “be still and know that I am God.”. “God’s first language is silence” says Cistercian Monk Thomas Keating, “everything else is a bad translation.” Ask, “What is this yearning within me?” “ Who am I?” These are the great questions. There are many methods of contemplative prayer, including Christian Meditation, Centering Prayer, and the Jesus Prayer. There are also other opportunities to experience the grace of this rich tradition – including walking a labyrinth, going on a pilgrimage, contemplative singing like Taize or chant or the contemplative reading of Scripture, Lectio Divina. There are also communities of broken people, doing their best to pray together, to break bread together, to love together—these communities are called ‘Church.’ To be honest, there are many that I just wouldn’t feel at home in, I just can’t fit in every bucket, but there are some where I do. History shows us, these buckets all have holes in them, some bigger than others, but the good news is the water keeps filling them up and wastefully sloshing over the top, so if you are finding yourself thirsty, you might just sit in silence or dip your toe in one of those hole - y buckets that might be calling your name. “What you are looking for is what is looking.” – St Francis.

New Local Business Tackles Intimacy, Sex and Relationships Emily Walsh

exibliss, a new local business, seeks to explore Ottawa’s understanding of and expectations regarding sex and relationships. Through stimulating workshops focusing on a fun, relaxing, and down-toearth, attitude, SexiBliss’ fresh approach has people talking and learning. Sex and relationships are truly undervalued as tools for happiness and success, says Marie-Claire Thauvette, founder and educator at SexiBliss. She says our culture has a shallow appreciation for these tools. Her personal mission is to help people become more connected sexually and emotionally. SexiBliss believes that sex has a number of physical, mental, emotional, and spiritual benefits. The health benefits, including more energy, strengthened immune systems, and better sleep patters, are well known. Better sex often improves creativity and allows people a fresh perspective to personal challenges, and helps them feel more deeply connected to their bodies and partners. The emotional release also supports security and stability, and provides a mental break. One of SexiBliss’ core beliefs is that the benefits from positive sexual relationships carry over into every aspect of people’s lives.

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, David Hawkins, and Gerald Jampolsky, author of Love Is Letting Go of Fear, who founded Attitudinal Healing based on “the Course.” But what is it? This six-week course will provide a solid foundation for understanding this immensely practical path of spiritual awakening. It will focus on A Course in Miracles’ radically transformative teachings on love, forgiveness, miracles, inner peace, and healing, and their powerful effect on our lives and the lives of others. For spiritual seekers new to the Course or simply curious about it, and also for experienced Course students who want to deepen their understanding and experience.

Excellence in Jewish Early Childhood Education

he Westboro Jewish Montessori Preschool (WJMP) is a gem located in the Westboro area. Using Dr. Maria Montessori’s methods of education, which emphasizes a freedom of movement and choice in a scientifically designed learning environment, the WJMP is able to meld general education in math and literacy with a specific Jewish curriculum that teaches Hebrew and Jewish holidays. The children who leave the school to go to public school or Jewish Day School not only have a comprehension of numbers, science, the environment, geography, and practical life and skills; they have also begun to read in both English and Hebrew. The WJMP’s dedication to the education of their young students is outstanding. To match their inclusive curriculum, the school also promotes a thorough immersion in the arts. Every year the WJMP invites one of the NAC Orchestra Ensembles to perform at the school. Last year the Ambassador Brass Trio performed Music Through the Ages, featuring classics such as Beethoven’s Ode to Joy, Mozart’s Eine Kliene Nachtmusik and the lively La Cucaracha. “Musical education is an important part of our student’s learning,” says the school’s director, Devora Caytak, “we love having the NAC visit us and are looking forward to their upcoming visit this year.” Along with these visits the WJMP also has a weekly music circle in the school, which includes the violin and accordion. A good education and learning environment goes hand-in-hand with teaching healthy eating habits and hygiene. The school prides itself on its home-made, organic, kosher lunches and snacks. The WJMP teaches its students about the importance of washing their hands before eating and about healthy foods. Baking happens weekly at the school and includes baking their own Challah on Fridays.

The Westboro Jewish Montessori Preschool has half and full day programs available for children ages 1.5 to 6 years. For more information about the school, registration, or a no-obligation tour, please contact the school’s director, Devora Caytak at 613-729-7712 or visit www.jewishyouthlibrary.com

GREEN SPIRIT

– a perfect stop on your spiritual journey!

s the energies increase during the Ascension process, and as we are expanding our awareness and raising our vibration, the crystal kingdom is now able to bring forth to us its full power and glory! Although crystals have always had immense healing and transformational powers and abilities, they have, by necessity, had to ‘put a lid on’ their full gifts to humanity…simply because humanity wasn’t ready!! So, if you work with crystals and have noticed an increase in their power or healing energies, this could be the reason why. More and more higher vibration crystals are being discovered, as we are getting to a point on our spiritual journey where we are able to work more easily with these higher frequencies, and assimilate them into our being and our spiritual practice. An example of one of these new higher vibration stones is Healerite, from a remote mountain region in the NW United States. This stone of profound healing energy resonates strongly with the solar plexus, heart and third eye chakras, facilitating an elevation and alignment of the vibratory qualities of these three chakras and one’s entire vibrational field.

It energizes the Liquid Crystal Body Matrix, creating revitalization on the cellular level. All of the cells and internal systems then harmonize with one another, and with the Divine Blueprint of the holistic perfection of the body. This is a stone to carry or wear for the maintenance of one’s resonance with this pattern, as well as for reconnecting with it, if one is ill. At Green Spirit, we have Healerite and many other crystals! All are handpicked too, ensuring the clearest, most beautiful vibration. Each day, we give our crystals a treat! We cleanse AND charge them with angelic and crystal tuning forks. They are bathed in beautiful, angelic high frequency vibrations, ready to go home with their new ‘human’. We also offer plenty of other products to help you on your spiritual journey, such as oracle cards, smudging supplies, meditation aids, aromatherapy, healing jewelry, colour therapy…and more! You might also like to come and check out our beautiful healing room, the Violet Flame Room…so named because the Violet Flame is a truly powerful tool for transformation….and also because when the sun comes through the special window decals in there, it refracts the light and casts rainbow coloured ‘flames’ onto the luscious purple wall :) Various holistic practitioners will be offering treatments for body, mind and spirit here in the next few months! In fact, we would love to meet anyone who might be looking for space to rent for a healing practice. Please come along to the store in Manotick, or email us (info@green-spirit.ca) to find out more. Please do come down to the store to say hello. We look forward to meeting you!

Acupuncture Relieves Stress: New Understanding Of Why The Ancient Practice Eases Anxiety By: Blaise T. Ryan, R.TCMP, R.Acu Registered Traditional Chinese Medicine Practitioner and Registered Acupuncturist.

ood news, acupuncture fans: It really does help relieve stress. And now, science is closer to understanding why. First, let’s distinguish between the two kinds of stress. Good stress and bad stress. Good stress is the pressure from challenge when we strive to overcome our limitations and grow beyond our outdated comfort zone. Good stress is the positive resistance as we break old molds and create new growth. Good stress is positive stimulation that keeps life fun, engaging and exhilarating. Good stress is not what we’re talking about here. We’re talking about “bad stress”. Bad stress is not fun, nor exhilarating. It’s overwhelming, frustrating, draining, exhausting and has many negative consequences on our health. The reason why it affects our health negatively is because bad stress triggers the “fight or flight” response in our body. This response is an instinctual survival mechanism hard-coded into our DNA that causes our bodies to release stress hormones like adrenaline and cortisol whenever our life is threatened. Picture a saber-tooth tiger attack. These hormones give us a rush of energy in order to “fight” or “flee” from the saber-tooth tiger. When these hormones are used for their intended purpose of surviving a life-threatening situation, the hormones get released out of the body through sweating and physical excursion. The problem is that when they aren’t released they can cause all kinds of internal health problems because these stress hormones are toxic to our bodies and cause an imbalance in our internal chemistry. While we don’t face life-threatening situations every day, these hormones can still get released into the system through mild, or severe, or even sustained stress. Excessive pressure, rushing around, meeting deadlines, excessive workload or relationship turmoil can all trigger these stress hormones. We all know what can cause us to get stressed. I have found in my professional practice that acupuncture can consistently reduce stress in my patients. The theory of Chinese medicine has known and understood how this works for thousands of years. A modern study that was published in the Journal of Endocrinology in April 2013 shows the same results and is bringing acupuncture at the forefront of stressreduction treatments. The study explores the biological mechanisms involved in acupuncture’s stress-relieving results, something that science is beginning to unravel.

The researchers discovered that stress hormones were lower in rats that had received electronic acupuncture. The study researcher, Dr. Ladan Eshkevari, an associate professor of nursing at Georgetown University stated: “Many practitioners of acupuncture have observed that this ancient practice can reduce stress in their patients, but there is a lack of biological proof of how or why this happens. We’re starting to understand what’s going on at the molecular level that helps explain acupuncture’s benefit.” For the study, Eshkevari and colleagues designed a series of tests with electronic acupuncture to ensure that each rat received the exact treatment and dosage of stimulation. Eshkevari used the “ST-36” acu-point, with the needle. This area is the same in rats and humans and it is reported that stimulating it can alleviate stress, improve immunity and digestion, and other conditions. The experiment lasted 10 days, researchers split the rats into four groups: A, B, C, D. Group A was the control group with no added stress and no acupuncture; Group B was made to be stressed out for an hour each day but did not receive acupuncture; Group C was made to feel stressed for an hour each day but received placebo acupuncture by their tails; and Group D was made to feel stressed and received the genuine acupuncture treatment at the ST-36 acu-point. The experiment measured blood hormone levels in reaction to stress. The researchers assessed blood hormone levels secreted by the hypothalamus, the pituitary gland and the adrenal gland -- together these are known as the hypothalamus pituitary adrenal (HPA) axis. They also measured a peptide involved in creatures’ “fight or flight” responses, called NPY. Researchers discovered that the “... acupuncture blocks the chronic, stress-induced elevations of the HPA axis hormones and the sympathetic NPY pathway,” Eshkevari said in the statement. Since stress has been linked with detrimental health effects including heart disease, chronic illnesses, mental disorders, and even brain shrinkage, it is positive news that acupuncture is now getting official recognition as a stress-reduction treatment. This is one of the reasons that many avid acupuncture fans receive regular treatments even when they don’t have any major physical or health symptoms, because they know through experience, that acupuncture reduces stress and regulates their entire system. If you have a stressful career or a stressful life, receiving regular acupuncture treatments from a registered acupuncturist could quite literally save your life. Blaise T.

IS THAT THE TRUTH? Taking care of your 90 Trillion Cells!

ould Health Canada lie to us about EMF pollution? Would Hydro lie to us about smart meters? Would your friends tell you this is just nonsense? Would the schools tell you that wi-fi in the class rooms does not effect our children? Would texting and driving be OK? Would texting and walking across a busy intersection be OK? Would texting while out for dinner with friends be OK?

It’s called deny, deny, deny! The time to believe and pretend that all this EMF POLLUTION from cell phones, smart meters, wi-fi, power towers and satellites not effecting us in any way is over. We are all being effected health wise by all this pollution 365 days a year. Since they installed the smart meter on your bedroom wall making you sick, headaches, stress, run down, feelings that you cant explain? Our children at school with all the wi-fi feeling sick all week and on the weekend feeling good when playing outside. When you at work on a computer every day for 6 to 8 hours, feeling burnt out. Your car is a metal cage with electronics plus GPS. New hot spots at all our coffee shops Time to think outside the box. Could all of these new frequencies be effecting my body and my health? My friend Peter Webb has developed EMF balancers for your home, work and auto. The difference is how your body feels after they are installed. Calmer, less stress, sleep better, work better.

s my natural doctor said to me; “We are living in an era of the science of food and nutrition. This era will be identified by the shift from the treatment of classic nutrient deficiency diseases (such as scurvy and pellagra) to the prevention of chronic diseases. This second golden age of nutrition is witnessing a return to the food-as-your-medecine paradigm, in which specific foods and food components are being proven for the prevention and/or treatment of ailments ranging from insomnia to cancer.” His comment made me think of an earlier time in my life. A time which now seems much simpler and certainly a time when food choices also seemed much heathier. A time when fast food was a Swanson’s TV dinner, rarely seen in our home, which most often was the family booth in my parents restaurant and bakery (The Cosy). I look back on that childhood, growing up in a small village in Bruce County, surrounded by beautiful and plentiful farmland and farmers who were proud to share their bounty with the local people in their community. A time when apples were most plentiful in the early fall, peaches arrived from the Niagara region at the local grocery stores in bushel baskets and everyone was busy in their homes doing canning and preparing nutritious supplies for the winter months to come. Fresh vegetables and fruit appeared in its own particular season when it was ready to harvest. Strawberries, raspberries, plums and such were never seen on store shelves other than at those particular times of ripening right on the vines each summer. Not so now. We are able to purchase those same fruits, and countless other varieties, 12 months of the year shipped form far off lands only the labels reveal to us now. Who grew them? How were those farms managed? How were these items harvested and even more important, when were they plucked from their mother plant? Way too soon more than likely. We are no longer living in harmony with Nature. My father was a merchant in that village and was the baker. At one time he was the only source of wonderful home-made style bread, rolls, buns and sweet treats for the entire region. (Until a bread source less than “wonder-ful” started to be shipped into the village en masse.) His wonderfully textured bread was made with love and care from all natural ingredients. It went through the several manual stages of bread-making before the pans, filled with inflated raw loaves, were put into the huge 2 layered fired up oven with a long wooden handled peel, one pan at a time. The first loaves into that fire-brick lined oven were the last ones coming out and there was a visible difference in the toasty brown colour

of the upper crusts. The entire bakery area and the store out front, where they were wrapped up for all those hungry families, was filled with the saliva producing powerful aroma of freshly baked goods. At times the sweet scent was cinnamon and other exotic spices used in those yummy sticky treats he lovingly created. I diverge from my purpose for writing this article. In most part, we are no longer eating food supplies that have had the opportunity to ripen “on the vines” as we did in the 1950’s. Food supplies and the methods used to produce, manufacture and deliver them has changed drastically. There seems to be a lot more people with allergies, food sensitivities, low energy and poor health, etc. adults and kids alike. Are you or those you love feeling “sick and tired”? Are you interested in hearing about what is working for thousands and thousands of people every day in order to be proactive about staying healthy with focus on disease prevention? Do you want to feel better? If the answer to any of these questions is “Yes”, then please come and join us for the presentation being given by my all natural practitioner, Dr. Richard Brouse.

The Benefits Of Cuddling

CREATE CLOSER LOVING RELATIONSHIPS

By Marlene and Bob Neufeld

lients of ours recently pointed us to a small book called “The Cuddle Sutra” by Rob Grader. This book outlines 28 different ways to cuddle as well as another 20 ways to walk together while touching. We ourselves are cuddling more than we ever did. Cuddling is both a way to move toward secure attachment as well as demonstrates secure attachment. People in insecure attachment are avoidant, and don’t really want to cuddle or they are anxious which tends to make cuddling uncomfortable to the other person. Cuddling promotes trust and healthy attachment between adults while modulating the fear response. We recommend a daily 30-second hug to our clients (see our video on hugging on our website). We humans are hard-wired to need healthy touch. Various studies have shown that touch can have a dramatic effect on conditions such as depression, arthritis, asthma, ADHA, autism, diabetes, fibromyalgia, hypertension, migraine headaches, heart disease, stress and pain management. Cuddling releases oxytocin, which is the “love hormone”. This is the hormone that is released in nursing women who are securely attached to their babies. It increases overall happiness and promotes bonding. Oxytocin boosts our immune system. It has a role in promoting a sense of well-being which enhances secure attachment. For many people, touching while talking enhances the ability to hear. It took Marlene years to realize that if she really wanted Bob to hear something she was saying, touching him made a difference. Touching or being touched can also allow people to say things they would have a hard time saying otherwise. Touching can also help people connect when they have disconnected through guilt or fear. Just this morning, Bob realized that he hadn’t done something he had agreed to do. He

heard Marlene’s reminder as critical. Marlene noticed he was avoiding looking at her. She moved towards him and touched him on the arm while making eye contact. We soon reconnected and Bob was able to recommit to doing it without beating himself up. Cuddling is also a good pre-cursor to sex as well as a great way to end sex. Research that comes out of the University of Toronto has indicated that people who end sex with cuddling report higher levels of satisfaction with their sex lives. Taking time to stay physically close after sex reaffirms the emotional and sexual bond. So ask yourself how often you cuddle with your partner. Can you find a way to incorporate more cuddling into your life? If you realize that you or your partner are reluctant to cuddle, then you may want to explore what is getting in the way.

Take Charge of Your Child’s Education

Are cleaning products challenging your child’s learning abilities?

s a loving and caring new grandmother, I now found myself more concerned with what seemed to me to be an epidemic of such children’s health issues as asthma and allergies. After much research I found that many other grandparents and mothers too had discovered that these conditions and even learning disabilities were often a direct result of exposure to common commercial household cleaners. The one professional I discovered online who verifed my suspicions and has dealt with these and many other concerns in children was Dr. Doris Rapp, M.D. Dr. Rapp is a board-certified environmental medical specialist and a pediatric allergist. She is also a homeopath. She served as Clinical Assistant Professor Emeritus of Pediatrics at the State University of New York at Buffalo until January 1996. She practiced traditional allergy medicine for 18 years. After learning about environmental medicine in 1975, Dr. Rapp began to incorporate the principles of environmental medicine into her pediatric allergy practice. See more at: http://www.drrapp.com

One of her 90-minute video DVD’s called; Environmentally Sick Schools is an accompanying video to one of her books, Is this Your Childs World. It vividly demonstrates exactly how some students and teachers react when they are exposed to dust, molds, pollen, foods, chemicals, school air, and school carpets. One segment shows how mice are adversely affected by breathing air blown over a school carpet. When you read about a child whose parents are distraught because the child is “above and beyond”, you will see that child react to something that causes his/ her unacceptable behavior. When you read about the child who is depressed, psychotic and wants to commit suicide, that child is on this video. This powerful and provocative book and DVD combo gives you the opportunity to see the exact child discussed in the book. Now students, teachers, school administrators, psychologists and physicians can be armed with the greater awareness & knowledge necessary to protect our present and future generations from today’s environmentally polluted world.

EARTHY GRATITUDE Written by Alexis Nicol

here’s this “Gratitude” thing spreading like a virus through the Facebook community. I panicked when I initially discovered that I too was infected. I thought oh my goodness what was I going to say, was I creative enough to add to what everyone else had done so thoughtfully and beautifully? So it began. At the end of the first day, just before I headed to bed, I reviewed the last 12 hours or so and attempted to discover things I had to be grateful for. Well after a few minutes of struggle I managed to find three – not super amazing or anything, but I was just thankful that I had gotten one day over with. The next day began when my husband woke me up at 5:30 a.m. and apologized saying that he was so sorry but that he wouldn’t be able to drive me to work that morning - he’d just been called in to work. It was a gloomy, humid and rainy morning, so I wasn’t really looking forward to my walk to the office. But, as I discovered it was to be a touching one. As I exited my home I felt a soft drizzle coming down, so up went the umbrella – we have to keep those curls at bay! After a couple of minutes I relaxed into stride and took a couple long, deep and clearing breaths and that’s when it struck me. The air hit me with the odour of worms. Disgusting you may think, but with each breath it brought memories flooding back to when I was a child. I used to get so excited when it rained. My mother would hand me an empty container and then I would run up and down the street happily gathering these incredibly slimy, squirmy and plump worms. I loved the feel of them, their tiny striations wiggling and oozing booger-like slime in my hands. The bigger the better, much easier to see all their fine details. Their

“The Lost Manuscript”

Second Blockbuster Book of 2014 Ian Prattis

“Redemption” is a story of Awakening and has its own story of emergence. It was a “lost” manuscript, first written in 1975, forgotten until spring 2011. The narrative was vivified and refined with hindsight forty years later. It reads like an extended prose poem reflecting the primal forces of nature and of human nature. Callum Mor, the epic main character, takes the reader on a deep Hero’s Journey. It opens with his childhood in the Hebrides, islands off the NW coast of Scotland. He draws wonderful mentors to him; his schoolteacher, who lights the spark of a bard in him, animal friends such as an otter, a brutal fisherman who shields his darkness from the boy as he matures. Callum Mor thrives despite the poverty of his home in an island nurturing with gentle humor and adventure. This novel moves from the rhapsody of Callum Mor’s idyllic childhood through tragedies to the derelict zone of his alcoholic drowning out of pain and suffering. His father, a seaman longing to be at home, is driven to madness by his inability to create a place for himself on the island. His brother is murdered on the docks at Montreal. So Callum Mor stays with his mother and forgets his yearnings to be a writer. He becomes the best fisherman in the region before grave misunderstandings tear his love, Catriona, away from him. This displaces his gifts as he drives himself and his crew to the very limits of endurance. The manner of his mother’s death is the final straw. Callum Mor’s sensitivities snap and he enters the dark zone of alcoholism and withdraws from society. With only his animals keeping him this side of sanity he survives in a bleak solitude. Until a family with a small girl seeking refuge from a storm come to his house. Slowly he edges away from his self-destruction. He saves the girl’s life in a winter blizzard. The glimmer of awakening dawns in him while sheltering in a cave with the child warmly ensconced in a gutted carcass of a sheep he killed to keep her from freezing. He sees his life pass in front of his eyes and this sets the stage for the final drama that illuminates the resilience of the human spirit.

“Redemption” is my fourteenth book and first novel, though actually the first book I ever wrote. In 1975 I was unable to get it published. I found this “Lost” manuscript in an old filing cabinet, read it through and could scarce believe it. I requested my wife and a couple of friends with critical eyes to read it through, just in case I was dreaming. Modern technology enabled the yellowing typed manuscript to be transformed into a computer ready document. My wife thought it was incredible; one friend could not put it down and mused about the film to be made; the other friend cried through most of it. All of which encouraged me to bring “Redemption” to life. I was tempted to leave this gem from 1975 in its pristine state, but realized that my insights some forty years later could enhance the narrative and flesh out “Callum Mor” into a character of epic proportions. The story is an allegory for the life difficulties I experienced at that time–40 years ago. The surprise for me was how could I have written such a book while in a miserable state of mind? I was not in a good place – with a failing marriage in the Hebrides and trying to keep a career going at Carleton University in Canada. I was not doing a good job with either. Publishing this book in 2014 was an imperative for me, as a necessary part of my own life- journey. It is a companion to Trailing Sky Six Feathers: One Man’s Journey with His Muse-also published in 2014. These books are writing me. Available on Amazon, Barnes and Noble and Xlibris websites.

Traditional Yoga and Yoga Pose

odern Yoga is often regarded as posture exercise. Even though posture is extremely important, we should know that posture (asana) exercise is only the beginning of Yoga practice. It is the gateway to open the door of a new world. The story of Virabhadrasanas (Warrior poses) from Mahabharata helps us understand the essence of these Warrior poses. One day, Drona, a military expert, organizes a competition to test his student warrior’s concentration. Across a stream, Drona sets up a small wooden bird in a tree. He tells them, “Today I want to see who among you can strike the eye of that wooden bird across the river.” “Can you see the bird properly? Tell me everything you can see, Yudhisthira,” said Drona. “I see the wooden bird, the branch, and the tree. I can see the leaves moving and even more birds sitting on the same tree. I can see the stream, the grass, other trees, the sky...” Like this, Yudhisthira names off everything he can think of. Drona speaks again, “Put down your bow and

take a seat Yudhisthira, you will not hit the eye of the bird.” Confused, Yudhisthira silently walks back to his brothers without question. This same pattern continues with every boy that follows, until finally Drona reaches Arjuna. “Tell me what you can see, Arjuna,” repeats Drona. “I can see only the eye of the bird,” replies Arjuna without breaking eye contact with his target. “Can you not see the trees and the sky? Or perhaps the branch the bird is sitting on?” his mentor asks. “No sir, all I can see is the eye and nothing else,” he says, holding his bow steady and maintaining his unwavering gaze. Drona is pleased with this response. He casts a glance at the crowd of students, who are held in silence but slowly begin nodding as the lesson begins to become clear to them. Drona is happy that his favorite pupil is able to pass his test. “Shoot!” With a loud twang, the arrow springs from the bow straight into the bird’s eye. A perfect shot. After a long pause, Drona pats Arjuna on the back and says, “Now you see, the power of concentration...”

HED: The Yoga Box DEK: Retrain your brain Eryn Kirkwood

he brain is a fascinating organ. Weighing in at about three pounds, the brain-tobodyweight ratio is higher in humans than any other being on the planet, including, for example, elephants. This magnificent organ processes information up to 120 metres a second (or about 268 miles an hour), and when awake, it generates between 10 and 23 watts of power. That’s enough energy to power a light bulb. One reason the brain is so efficient is that it compartmentalizes information received, storing it categorically for easy access and retrieval. Imagine if every time you went to climb a flight of stairs you had to re-learn how to do it. Daily living would be an arduous process!

After years of practice, have we gained the power of a warrior? Or are we just proud of our physical strength? In the swirl of life, are we able to keep stable and strong? Or lose direction? With so much happening around us, what target are we going to aim for? When we look at Yoga as the greater tradition, we then are able to know what Yoga is for. We will actually benefit more from Yoga, than what we have now. Wishingtree Yoga Centre’s 200h Traditional Hatha Yoga Teacher Training focuses on Yoga Tradition. Rupa Manjari Devi Dasi (Ivy) has been practicing Yoga since 1996 in China. Her Chinese background and training gives her a natural understanding of this ancient eastern wisdom; her living, studying and teaching in Canada has provided her the opportunity to develop the practice in a modern western way. Join Rupa in 2015 for an unforgettable journey towards Self-realization. The experience will let you understand this amazing scientific knowledge and give you practical skills and techniques to use on and beyond the mat! It is all about Your SELF. For more information, visit www.wishingtreeyoga.ca

But with that efficiency comes a drawback. The brain doesn’t distinguish between those things deemed categorical by nature versus other more abstract concepts, items, or ideas. For example, upon hearing the word “watch,” your brain immediately conjures an image from the storehouse of options relating to time-keeping devices. That storehouse is the end product of a lifetime of sensory input from magazines, movies, television shows, and personal experiences. Efficient? Indeed. Precise? Not so much. The Yoga Box I’ve recently been confronted with my nonconformity to the “yoga teacher” box. Apparently yoga teachers don’t have cold hands or feet due to poor circulation, don’t have shopping splurges or listen to heavy metal or frequent sugar joints; they suffer no back pain due to hyper-flexibility, don’t melt down in times of stress or binge on ice-cream after breakups; they don’t even take prescription drugs for something that ails them! They [we] sound superhuman. I shrunk six inches comparing myself to this shining beacon of hope that bears the name of Yoga Teacher. Pitting yourself up against a long list of items, just to confirm that you don’t measure up invokes shame and despondency: two categories that everyone can agree have no place in the world of yoga, regardless of the tradition. Retrain Your Brain It’s time to take charge and retrain your brain. Take a long, hard look at the limits and labels you allow to define you before you get boxed in. Challenge assumptions, defy status quos, be unique in every possible way. I’ve since realized that everything in life is a process of moving towards. The yoga journey is a process of introspection, transformation, and realization: three things that require a healthy dose of self-love. When you step on the mat today, close your eyes and smile. Feel your feet on the earth, the beat of your heart, and the brilliance of being alive. Remind yourself that you are loved. Because that is the true teaching of yoga.

Better than Yesterday

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

ast month I attended a conference for top performers in the investment industry in beautiful Miami Florida. We were all industry veterans who operate very successful practices all over Canada. Although we operate our practices in our own unique ways, we all strive to provide clients with the best possible experience as we help them achieve their financial and life goals. This group gets together on an annual basis and the insights that we gain from these exchanges are invaluable. This year was no different. The unifying element that kept surfacing over and over again was the fact that we were all driven to be better than we were yesterday. We all agreed that it was impossible for us to keep delivering a unique, high quality client experience without first having a mindset to strive to improve who we were as people. We were all committed to this task and we dedicated the required time and money to continually improve our businesses as well as ourselves. Is this a character trait unique to this industry? Absolutely not! I would argue that striving to be better than you were yesterday is not a function of your occupation, of your gender or any other socio-economic factors. I think that it behoves every human being to make this their own personal goal, regardless of where they work or where they are in their lives. We all have choices to make as we go through this experience called life and I would argue that striving to be better than we were yesterday is a choice that everyone needs to make. I made that choice a number of years ago for a variety of reasons. I had noticed that what was happening in my life at that moment did not correspond to the outcome that I was looking for. There was a disconnect between my actions and the reality that was being created around me. I decided that I did not want to experience this disconnect anymore, or ever again. In spite of all of the excuses that I was able to conjure up to prevent me from moving forward, I still made the decision to change. Some of these were very hard to implement while others not so much and there are others that are work in progress. I particularly like this quote from Stephen R. Covey in which he says: “You have to decide what your highest priorities are and have the courage—pleasantly, smilingly, nonapologetically, to say “no” to other things. And the way you do that is by having a bigger “yes” burning inside.” The key point to remember is that the change will only start when you decide to change. You need to find the compelling reasons for making these changes and align your behaviour to theme. That is the first step!

Lost in the Dark of the Autumn

et’s face one big reality: We all tend to get lost in the “spiritual dimension” of life from time to time where things get dark. Yet we can learn how to navigate through this darkness in a balanced way with traditional Algonquin teachings. We all know people - including ourselves - who seem to be so overly focused on “being spiritual” that they don’t appear to be grounded in a healthy reality. Isn’t being spiritual supposed to be about being well? Living life with intentional balance is essential to well-being. Traditional Algonquin spiritual teachings tell us that the Eagle can’t fly high in Father Sky forever. It eventually gets tired of soaring and must come back down to Mother Earth. The Eagle understands when it’s time to eat. It descends so it can catch a fish in its talons. It has to eat so it can continue to be healthy. Only when the Eagle is healthy can it build its nest at the top of the medicine pine. From this position the Eagle can see things clearly in all the sacred directions; east, south, west, north, centre, below and above. The Eagle naturally knows that being well is about embracing all dimensions and aspects of life. Every day is a “spiritual” day for the Eagle yet it knows that flying high in the sky is only one part of the equation. Being grounded, rooted and balanced here on earth - in our living reality - is the other part. Living life on earth is about honouring and embracing the good medicine of everyday reality. Traditional Algonquin spiritual knowledge teaches us that we are always in the spiritual world whether we realize it or not. Spirit exists in the four directions around us, in the upper world, in the middle world, in the lower world and inside all things too - including us. We don’t have to go around always looking for the next spirit guide to direct us or learn yet another way to “open our third eye”. What we really need is to have the will to open our second eye in order to see and know where we stand in our own reality. When we start to see the world with two open eyes, we begin to experience the natural medicine of balance and we get the chance to see the world the way the Eagle does. At Medicine Pine Healing, all of our work is rooted in the rock solid teachings of traditional Algonquin spiritual knowledge. For example, one of the tools we teach people to use is the medicine wheel which encompasses the four aspects of our Self; our emotional, physical, spiritual and mental aspects. We work with many people who are often lost in only one aspect of themselves, the spiritual aspect. They struggle emotionally without awareness that their spiritual state of being needs to be balanced with the other three aspects of their being.

Way of the Medicine Pine

A five week personal empowerment course rooted in the power of Algonquin spiritual knowledge from the Medicine Wheel teachings to the Thunderbird. Starts: October 23 -‐ November 20, 2014 Thursday evenings 7pm – 9pm Location: Westboro, Ottawa Cost: $400 per person For more information please contact: Shannon Parsons & Tim Yearington Phone: 613.725.5225 Ottawa

Sometimes people are so enchanted with the spiritual aspect of their being, they appear to be wandering around in the dark. They become lost and disconnected from their own reality. They “ascend” and then appear not to be rooted here on earth. They fly around way up in the sky of their own spiritual dimension all the time. One can become very ill if they forget the natural medicine of descending. In traditional Algonquin teachings, the spiritual dimension of our Self is represented by the darkness of the colour black. Black is the direction of the West, which is also the season of the Autumn. As we move into Autumn on the medicine wheel, we enter into the darkness. As the days grow darker towards Winter Solstice, we need to be mindful of keeping our own inner fires burning bright to help us see into this darkness. You may wish to ask yourself how balanced you feel right now. Are both your eyes open to help you see into the medicine of the Autumn? Please visit our website to discover the traditional ways we can help you get rooted, be balanced and stand strong. Tim Yearington & Shannon Parsons www.medicinepinehealing.ca 613-725-5225

What is it like to receive a reading from James Van Praagh?

n one word – “phenomenal!” says Francine who was the lucky winner of the grand prize draw at The Mystical Event. She had the great pleasure of getting evidential messages from spirit through James Van Praagh on September 14, 2014 live via Skype. James was able to name several of Francine’s family members that came through from the other side – he is that accurate. He is the “genuine article” in delivering messages from spirit. She learned quite a lot during her reading. He accurately described items in her possession that belonged to her father. He was spot on in describing her spiritual gifts. One of the many things that resonated with her and which she was deeply touched by, was when he called her “Daughter of the Stars”. James was extremely generous with his time. It was an honour and a privilege for her to be in his company. He is very down-to-earth, warm, sweet and has a fun sense of humour with an all-around lovely energy. Francine grew up with psychics and healers on both sides of her family. She has been receiving messages from mediums most of her life and actively taking spiritual workshops since 1982. She says that James is by far the best that has read for her. The way he channeled energy and messages was very impressive to her; he was very clear, compassionate, respectful, empowering and inspiring. He was able to help her by delivering specific messages from her father that was healing and gave her closure. A huge sign that her loved ones were present, was the flickering lights during the reading. She left feeling liberated from the messages received and a lot of release happened during the days following the reading. She experienced a definite shift as a result of this cathartic healing. He had such a strong positive impact giving her a life-changing experience. She is very appreciative for this great opportunity and most grateful for this beautiful experience. The Mystical Event Team would like to thank Joshua Dawson from the I AM GENIE Foundation for offering this great healing gift. Joshua, the Genie, has granted a wish for Francine to receive a reading with James Van Praagh and

at the same time, this gift has changed many people’s lives. James really does accurately deliver aweinspiring messages. We have received evidence and confirmation of this. He is coming to Ottawa at the Centrepointe Theater on October 27, 2014. James is not only a medium but a great teacher so you will learn a lot and receive healing throughout his show. Don’t miss it - attend this life-changing event, buy your tickets now before they sell out! Mystical Event message The Mystical Event Team, Stéphane Vézina and Louise Boucher, would like to personally thank everyone who came to visit and attended evening shows during The Mystical Event. We sincerely hope you enjoyed your visit by discovering the wonderful readers, healers and practitioners that were in the exhibition hall as well as the conferences and activities that took place during the weekend. A special thank you goes out to our honorary guest Dr. Effie Chow and our special guests Pete Bernard – Algonquin Medicine Man, Jennifer Clark, Sylvie Brûlé, Matthew Stapley and Nathalie Renaud as well as Patrik Bernard for his wonderful concert. Many thanks for contributing to the event’s success - we are very grateful and honoured by everyone’s participation.

BodyTalk: Reverse Stress & Regain Health & Happiness

f we experience high levels of stress in our lives on a regular basis, the health of our bodies and minds will soon reflect this. The frequent release of stress related hormones, such as cortisol, adrenalin and noradrenalin, from the adrenal glands into the blood eventually wears on our muscle tissues, bones, brain, nervous and immune systems. Our bodies have been designed to fire these hormones in times of acute danger, e.g. when a tiger is running after us, not on a daily or even hourly basis. Canadian Physician, Lecturer and Author, Dr. Gabor Maté, says that stress primarily “represents the absence of something that we perceive as necessary for survival ~ or its threatened loss,” e.g. food supply, shelter threatened, loss of love, etc. The unknown is a primary contributor to stress, or which the “research literature has identified three factors that universally lead to stress: uncertainty, the lack of information and the loss of control. All three are present in the lives of individuals with chronic illness.” In addition, Canadian Endocrinologist and famous stress researcher, Hans Selye supported this when he “said without hesitation, that for man the most important stressors are emotional.” The effects of high levels of stress on our body include any of the following symptoms: digestive issues, weak immune system, chronic muscle and joint pain, heart disease, headaches, osteoporosis, fatigue, poor skin, insomnia, depression, anxiety, etc. While the body can self~regulate around stress to a degree, over time and without support it weakens and is unable to regain its intrinsic balance. The good news is that the nervous system, the Sympathetic Nervous System and other affected body parts and systems can be reset so that the body and mind can recover from the effects of ongoing stress. BodyTalk energy therapy is a phenomenal tool that helps us do just this. It resets the nervous system so that the body can heal itself. By following the BodyTalk Protocol, we are able to identify ongoing stressors in our environments, past events, belief systems, inherited factors, etc. and highlight the parts and systems of the body and mind that these stressors are primarily affecting. Once this information is brought into awareness and suggestions for change are made to the body’s information field, gentle tapping is used over the brain and heart to instigate and store the changes in the body’s memory. If your body and mind could use support in regulating the effects of ongoing stressors on your body and mind, feel free to come in for a BodyTalk session and enjoy the benefits of increased health and peace of mind. I have practiced and received BodyTalk sessions for years and continue to be amazed at the efficiency and effectiveness

of this simple, holistic, energy therapy.

Sri Chinmoy Answers

Question: What is the main difference between the Western and Eastern mentality? Could this difference be eliminated for the purpose of better understanding and coexistence between all nations? SRI CHINMOY: In a very general way, we can say that the Western world takes pride in scientific achievements and has more faith in science and technology, while the Eastern world prides itself on inner qualities, that is to say, prayerful peace or peaceful prayer. However, we cannot say that there are no sincere spiritual seekers in the West or no great scientists in the East. Far from it! But if we have to make a comparison, then the Western world has infinitely more faith in the achievements of science than in the achievements of the inner reality—the soul and the heart. As we know, science comes from the mind; it is of the mind and for the world. Science plays a most significant role in the West because the Western world gives such importance to the mind. Recently, however, science has started believing in some kind of inner existence. When science produces something, it does feel that its invention has come from another world—an inner world, you can say—but the extent that science and scientists have entered into the inner world is not at all satisfactory. Right now the inner world may think the outer world is so restless that it is simply useless to do anything in or for it. Similarly, the outer world may think that the inner world is useless, inactive, sleeping, dormant. But both are mistaken. The inner world is not snoring or sleeping; it is dreaming of higher realities. Similarly, the outer world is the place where God is manifesting His own Reality. So the misconceptions that reign supreme in the mind of the outer world and in the heart of the inner world have to be removed. The good qualities of both worlds must come forward. In the world of science, the best quality is the

power of concentration. By virtue of their tremendous concentration, scientists achieve something unique. In the inner world, there is something we call aspiration, the heart’s inner cry. On the strength of his inner cry, the spiritual seeker also achieves something unique and sublime. Inner aspiration and outer concentration or determination must go together. When the inner life and the outer life, the world of science and the world of spirituality, walk side by side together to the same destination, which is a oneness-home, then the lovers of science and the lovers of spirituality will become one throughout the length and breadth of the world. Since the world is one reality, the outer life and the inner life cannot be kept separate indefinitely. Ultimately, there will be only one song which we shall sing and that is the song of oneness, oneness, oneness. So by unifying the heart’s inner cry and the world’s outer smile, by unifying the world of spirituality and the world of science, human beings shall one day become perfect, more perfect and most perfect citizens of the world.

Vitamin D and Your Health

Have you taken your Vitamin D today?

t is that time of year again – the days are getting shorter, the temperature is dropping, and cold and flu season has already begun! Vitamin D is an ESSENTIAL part of your seasonal plan to keep you and your family healthy. Vitamin D is often referred to as the “sunshine vitamin” because our bodies are able to produce it after we are exposed to sun. It may be surprising to know that EVEN IN THE SUMMER MONTHS, 66 to 68% of Canadians do not have adequate levels of this critical vitamin. In the fall, our levels drop even more, making us more susceptible to seasonal flus and the numerous diseases linked to vitamin D deficiency, including several forms of cancer, cardiovascular disease, osteoporosis, autoimmune diseases, cognitive decline, pregnancy complications, allergies and stroke. The link that we see with these chronic diseases seems to be on the genetic level with our current understanding. It is currently estimated that somewhere between 200 – 2000 of our genes are in some way responsive to Vitamin D. In short, this equates with if your vitamin D levels are good, your genes have the capacity to function well and efficiently. Conversely, inadequate levels of D are setting up your genes to not function optimally, creating the possibilities of chronic illness. Who is at risk for Vitamin D deficiency? There are certain people who are more at risk for Vitamin D deficiency. These include people with dark skin pigmentation (darker skin has an increased requirement of sun to generate the same D as fairer skin), people who work indoors, wear extensive clothing, avoid the sun with hats and sunblock, and people who live in polluted cities. How much should I take? The Canadian Cancer Society recommends 1000 IU’s of Vitamin D per day, but many well-known researchers and physicians in the United States and Canada recommend an intake of 2000 IU’s per day. Some health care providers suggest even more in the case where there is a known deficiency, measured by a blood test.

CONSIDER THIS: In a recent review article, it is suggested that by raising oral intake of Vitamin D to 2000 IU’s per day, approximately 58,000 new cases of breast cancer and 49,000 cases of colorectal cancer could be prevented in Canada and the United States each year.

Studies suggest that 95% of Canadians lack adequate levels of Vitamin D in the fall months. Research is proving that this is something to be concerned about. This fall, consider having your Vitamin D levels checked by your Naturopathic Doctor. Vitamin D is easily checked by a simple, inexpensive blood test, which measures the active form of Vitamin D in your blood, known as 25-hydroxy Vitamin D.

Redefining Brain Cancer

Katherine Willow N.D. rain cancers are relatively uncommon in adults, accounting for 2% of cancers world-wide but second only to the incidence of leukemia in children with a rate of 20-25% of childhood cancers. There are a variety of types of tumours depending on the kinds of cells involved, each with its own prognosis. In a brief summary of the approach by mainstream medicine, brain cancers are considered abnormal growths that start primarily in the brain or spread from another cancer in the body (metastases). They can be safe and left alone or fast-growing and needing treatment, usually surgery, radiation and chemotherapy. Prognosis can be decades or months. Symptoms vary depending on the location of the tumour and whether it grows enough to create pressure in the brain. Forty years ago in Germany a physician named Dr Geerd Hamer discovered marks on brain catscans that led to a radically new way of understanding brain cancers and disease in general. He eventually called his discoveries German New Medicine. In short, he found that the brain is immediately affected when a shock occurs, resulting in a target ring, a series of concentric circles that can be seen on a catscan. Cell loss or ulceration causes these lesions. The location of the rings is related to the nature of the shock. For instance, sudden worry for a loved one in a woman will affect her breast gland relay and stimulate growth in a gland on one side. The side is determined by the kind of relationship involved: mother and children worries affect the non-dominant side, for most of us the left; worry about anyone else will affect the dominant side, for most of us the right. For each shock, there will be a mark on the brain and symptoms in the organ or tissues affected by that area in the brain. Often we donâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;t notice this; many of the organ/tissue results are asymptomatic or below our radar and we resolve the shock without any obvious physical symptoms. Back to the brain: when the shock is resolved, the rings fill in with new cells which eventually re-integrate with the existing brain tissue, leaving a small mark. Most often this process goes unnoticed unless the shock is large, in which case the rings are bigger, affect more tissue and could cause symptoms. It is this tissue regrowth during the healing phase of the rings that receives a diagnosis of brain cancer. When one considers that these lesions are not a disease but a process of repair, it is understandable why treatments for brain cancers are often unsuccessful. If the person is vital, their brain cells will keep attempting to finish healing the damage from the shock; this is

www.ecowellness.com interpreted as a cancer recurrence, resulting in more treatment and strain to a personâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s immune system. Even if the original healing process is completed, the damage from the treatments themselves, especially the radiation, will at some point require a new healing process which will again be understood as disease and treated. It is not uncommon for brain cancer patients to undergo multiple surgeries and rounds of chemotherapy and radiation in this frustrating cycle. This leaves us with the question of treatment within this new paradigm. German New Medicine is not a treatment but a revised understanding of medicine. Each patient needs to be individually assessed to determine the most intelligent treatment plan. This could be mainstream medicine and/or alternative treatments, or even taking a wait and see position to ride out the healing phase.

How To Connect With Your Divine Essence Channelled by Lisa Virtue

e wish to help you find your true essence and connect with it daily. Why do we suggest this? It is due to our understanding of how you connect with Spirit in general. We are connecting with Lisa through her intention to commune with us and allow our “voice” to be heard/read by others far and wide. How you can connect is through your intention and allowing. Intend that you will be tuned in to the higher vibration aspect of self - that which accesses Universal understanding and knowledge. Then allow that this is possible and is indeed taking place that very moment. Feel into your heart, your chest area or even your gut region to make a sensing connection with that part of yourself. It feels like ease, peace and neutrality. It is not charged with loving-relationship type energies. It is a quintessential knowing, understanding, felt presence of self. The greater time you spend to connect with this part of self, the more distinction you will feel when it is not present fully in your attention. Following this, allow your newfound connection to lead you down the paths in alignment for your being. In alignment with the true essence that is the highest self, that is truly you at your core, true-being self. When you are not aligned with that portion of you, your state of disharmony evokes plight in your circumstances. The more prominent the disconnect, the “straying off” the path that feels right, the more prominent the disease or dis-comfort or bad feeling will be. Use this hallmark of discord as a tool, as a beacon to show, to direct, you to the origin of your disconnect – of the misalignment. Be curious and investigate what thoughts, feelings, beliefs have led you to your

present circumstances. Be aware this does not involve blaming others. This is a self-inquiry. What belief, etc. put you on the road to this end result? How did you think or feel your way to this point? It is easier to look back on a thing to find the trail leading to it if you are silent in your self-criticism tendency. Be neutral about this investigation. Be a detective, find out what thoughts, beliefs, etc. did not support you. You have the ability to shift that thinking into new forms of perspective that are helpful. Find forgiveness along the way, whether it is simply (and effectively) for yourself, or if it includes others as well. Holding that grudge and blame poisons you not the other, metaphorically and energetically speaking. So have good thoughts about yourself moving forward. Try this exercise to find that true voice within. Enjoy your newfound freedom of being and expressing as that who you truly are, that wise one that comes from within. Heartfelt blessings to you all. We wish you great joy in life. Your Divine Helpers from beyond. Lisa Virtue is a Divine Channel and Energy Healer based in the Glebe. Her mission is to help others align with their own Divine Essence, that they may feel the peace, joy and love in life that is their birthright.
