30 Years of Promoting Good Health, Wellness and Spirituality

ho knew that in the summer of ‘85 when we were putting together our first issue that we would still be doing this 30 years later? Tone survived because of YOU, the readers, contributors and advertisers. But the idea of Tone would have not existed if it wasn’t for Ron Chapman, along with the help of a couple of friends, Michael Monner and Peter Hughes. Ron shared this with me about the history of Tone: In the beginning it took me 3 to 5 years to find someone with enough gumption and courage to start TONE. I asked a number of people to help as a joint effort but they were really happy with the idea but didn’t seem to have the time to do it. Then I met Michael and he and Peter Hughes got ideas together and we began to come with the idea of TONE. I already had the concept of TONE strong in my mind based on the idea that everything in the universe was affected by a living frequency: religions, philosophies, sciences, everything that could be created by humanity came out of this living tone. So the name TONE (or frequency) seemed like the only name that made sense for this magazine. As you can see with the logo, all ideas relating to humanity are tied together, relating to that universal tone. Mike told us that he had always had the hope of being involved with a newsletter or magazine. He could use the computer better than both Peter and I so there became a close link between the 3 of us to start. We started with a newsletter (1 or 2 pages), trying to begin a place where everyone who had ideas relating to general spirituality could express their way of seeing things. Initially, there weren’t many people

in Ottawa who had spiritual groups that lasted, so TONE began to play a part not only in advertising but helping them to present their existence. We didn’t always agree with what they said, but we generally tried to help them at least begin. Initially, we handled the costs, and through the help of a number of people, the newsletter began to show a larger circulation and it began to look like a magazine. By that time, about 1-2 years after its beginnings, Mike was considering retirement and working full time with the magazine. He and Lucy Yang put a lot of time into it, and they and a number of people (7 or 8) met regularly and the magazine increased in size and circulation. Mike became the caretaker of Tone and over a number of years, TONE has enabled a number of groups to be maintained. TONE has a deep spiritual meaning attached to it, and as time goes on, no doubt, that will continue. I am proud to have been a part of Tone since 1985 and look forward to many more years of “providing a forum for the exchange of ideas pertaining to the overall growth of consciousness” which has always been our motto. Mike “LEMMY” Monner

Purpose …

To provide a forum for the exchange of ideas pertaining to the overall growth of consciousness.

ThetaHealing®

Changing Subconscious Beliefs & Thoughts to Create the Life you Want

By Patty Chevalier Samm ur bodies are absolutely amazing. Our bodies remember everything that has happened in our lives, in past lives and on a genetic level. Our bodies hold emotions so we can deal with them later and beliefs of which we may not even be aware. Our bodies strive to keep us aligned with our essence and inner truth and give us clues on a physical level when this is not happening. These clues may appear as a physical pain or illness or as a pattern in our life that is not supporting us. The key is for us to listen to these clues so we can identify and reprogram the emotions, beliefs and thoughts that are underlying the clues and create a new way of experiencing life. Are there challenges in your life that YOU want to change, be it a physical ailment, an emotional stress, a relationship issue, money difficulties or a negative tendency toward life? Is there something in your life that you really want but no matter how hard you try to get it, you just cannot seem to receive or achieve it? These are some of the clues to which I am referring. I have been practicing a healing modality for the past 10 years and have seen and experienced many changes in all areas of life using this technique. This modality is called ThetaHealing® and it is very powerful and profound. ThetaHealing® uses muscle testing, a form of applied kinesiology, to find your subconscious beliefs and thoughts and to identify the deepest root beliefs that are not supporting you. These root beliefs may be a fear, a past trauma, an emotion, a genetic belief or an old belief from childhood that was once protecting

you. Once these root beliefs are identified, using forms of visualization and meditation and the energy of the Creator of All That Is/Universal Energy, they are released and reprogrammed with a belief that supports you. Your issue will be gone and you will experience life in a new way. It is that simple and that profound. ThetaHealing® can be experienced through a practitioner or you can learn it for yourself. Whichever way you choose to experience it, you will be able to change your belief systems and manifest exactly what you desire. Some of your desires may be on a physical level such as a new house, a new relationship or better health. Some of your desires may be more emotional such as releasing anger, guilt or fear and replacing them with unconditional love, forgiveness and acceptance. Others may be on a mental level, changing negative thoughts to positive ones. Some of you may think you do not deserve what you desire. That is one belief to change. Just imagine what you can create once your limiting beliefs and thoughts are gone. Patty Chevalier Samm is a Certified Natural Health Practitioner, Medical Intuitive, ThetaHealing Instructor and Reiki Master. Patty will help you to identify the emotions, beliefs and thoughts related to any physical issue so that you can release them and move forward in life. Patty offers healing sessions and workshops in Ottawa and in Chelsea, QC. Contact (819)230-6199 or patty@keyahealth.com. You can visit her website at www.keyahealth.

Q. Lynne, is there value in suffering? A. It is true that suffering can help us shift our perspectives. We can then develop a more compassionate outlook on life, on others, and empathize more deeply. We soon realize that compassion makes for a much more fulfilling life. Our life lessons may even be humbling, but perhaps making us more human, more authentic and vulnerable, more real in a way. We definitely can help ourselves deal with suffering by understanding our mind and its perspectives. Instead of being resigned to our fate, we can get curious about what is going on. I have learned the deepest lessons during the most difficult parts of my life. Once this understanding arises, we can empower a path that brings forth a more fulfilling life. I find that with an open mind, through the gentle process of hypnosis, we can create a more satisfying life.

How to Express Your Feelings

ife is full of situations where it can be difficult to say what we really think, however silence can sometimes come at a high cost. In an article in the The Guardian, a nurse reported that failing to express our true emotions is one of the most common deathbed regrets. Read on to discover the major benefits of speaking your mind and constructive ways to get started.

Benefits of Expressing Your Emotions 1. Lead a fuller life. Dare to take on difficult issues. You’ll learn more about yourself, your loved ones and the world around you. Taking on more challenges will help you discover your true potential. 2. Become more authentic. If you habitually suppress your true feelings, you may become unfamiliar with them yourself. Get to know the real you and accept yourself for who you are (yup – warts and all!). 3. Banish your fears. Fear and anxiety build up when we try to shield ourselves from difficult truths rather than facing them head on. When you see yourself successfully negotiating a disagreement with your boss, you’ll feel more confident in your abilities. 4. Improve your relationships. Clearing the air promptly can keep resentments from building up. Ask your spouse to share in more of the housework rather than stewing about it and feeling like a martyr. 5. Liberate others. Courage is contagious. Your willingness to be direct and honest makes it easier for others to do the same. Techniques for Expressing Your Emotions 1. Clarify your intentions. Everyone benefits when we dedicate ourselves to promoting the common good. It beats worrying about being comfortable or universally popular. 2. Consider the risks involved. There may still be situations in which you need to choose restraint. Maybe you have valid concerns about an office policy but know that your supervisor is unlikely to be receptive to suggestions. 3. Take accountability for your own emotions. State your feelings in a way that avoids putting the blame on others. Recognize that your unpleasant feelings have more to do with your mindset rather than external events. 4. Start out small. It’s okay to proceed gradually. Talk with your best friend about how her showing up late for appointments affects you. Soon you’ll be able to approach people who may be less directly concerned with your well being

5. Practice regularly. Like any skill, open communications improve the more you practice. Notice daily opportunities to speak up so you’ll be in shape when more difficult conflicts come along. 6. Remain tactful. Even when you need to confront difficult truths, you can pick a setting and language that will make the message more pleasant. If tempers are already flaring, give yourselves time to calm down and speak privately. Try making requests rather than demanding changes. 7. Respect other’s boundaries. Just because you’ve decided to become more forthright, other people may still have different priorities. Unless someone’s welfare is in serious danger, be sensitive to the topics they may prefer to leave untouched. 8. Listen intentionally. On the other hand, you may find that others welcome the opportunity to be candid. Give people your full attention. Show that you’re attuned to their concerns. If you feel overwhelmed by what you’re hearing, ask for time to reflect before continuing the discussion. 9. Share good news too. Sometimes we shy away from pleasant feelings as well as the unpleasant ones. Get in the habit of handing out more compliments. Let people know how their kind acts improve your life and how much you care about them. If you want to live life to the fullest, get in touch with your true feelings and bring them out into the open. You’ll enrich your own experiences and empower those around you to do the same.

I Love Karma by Master Allan Chuck

o you believe in karma? I deeply believe in karma. I love karma. What is karma? Karma is the record of services. Your good service—giving love, care, and compassion, making others healthier and happier—is recorded as good karma in your book in the Akashic records. Unpleasant service—killing, injuring, stealing, cheating—is recorded as negative karma. Karma is a universal law. Good karma brings blessings to your life—good health, balanced emotions, a focused and intelligent mind, loving relationships, comfortable finances, and more. Negative karma brings lessons, which are all kinds of challenges and obstacles in your life. So, karma is cause and effect, action and reaction. As the saying goes, “What goes around, comes around.” Karma is the ultimate fairness of the universe. This is why I love karma. “Heaven is most fair.” The universe is like a giant mirror. What you give to others will reflect back to you. You will receive what you gave. Karma is the most important force in our lives. As my spiritual father, Master Zhi Gang Sha, explains, “Karma is the root cause of success and failure in every aspect of life.” Admittedly, it is not easy to love karma when you are receiving your karmic lessons: chronic pain, serious

illness, depression, anxiety, anger, broken relationships, business failures, or any other pain or suffering you are experiencing. What can you do about it? How can I, as a Soul Healer and Tao (Source) Channel, help you? Learn more at The Mystical Event. Karma is the balancing principle of the universe. Humanity and Mother Earth are seriously out of balance because humanity has created huge negative karma—and continues to do so. Due to this imbalance, we are in a great awakening and transition. What does this mean for you, for me, for everyone and everything? The implications could be beyond comprehension and imagination. I do believe that we all have to serve well, to help humanity and the planet. Then, we can reach a new age, the Soul Light Era. I look forward to sharing more!

Happy Child, Happy Life Rev. Sherry Harris, MSW, RSW, Psycho-spiritual Counsellor, Teacher, Healer

he more I work with the inner child work the more I am awestruck by the profound effects it has on one’s life. By healing the wounded child inside and releasing the happy, playful child within--- the free, vibrantly alive and creative being who came in to play this human game-- we become light hearted, positive and outright joyful. It is not an overnight process, but one that can be learned in 4 or 5 sessions and then deepened by one’s own continuing use of the process. We all have within us sad, lonely, fearful and angry children who long to be heard, comforted and above all, loved. When we take the time to connect with them through journaling they are all too anxious to tell us what they have been holding on to and how they want to be helped. Mostly they just want to be heard and loved. Our adult selves can take on the role of the unconditionally loving parent and we can listen, allow them to express their hurts, fears and angers and we can simply-- by loving, allowing and accepting them where they are-- heal them. It works and it can work very quickly if you are willing to make a commitment to be present, loving and caring to your little one. Most importantly, they need to be able to trust you; if you start

The connection you build with your little one will serve you for a lifetime. It will grow and deepen and you will find yourself becoming younger, more playful, and more alive. You will drop your masks and pretences and become open, trusting and vulnerable to connecting with life and others just as you were when you first came in--full of love and God and enthusiasm for being. This can be reclaimed through the inner child work if you are willing to take the steps. I guarantee once into the work, you will wonder why you didn’t do this years ago. If you are interested, I have been doing weddings in Ontario now for the last year and a half. I have tremendous joy helping you to create the wedding of your dreams, bringing love, light, joy and fun to your special day. We create it together, I perform the ceremony and make it legal. Gay or straight, simple or complex, I am delighted to help you make your special day magical.

“Why did I not see this before?” by Amâeil (Melinda Urban RIHR) Healing with Divine heart to awaken the deep truth within.

he collective outer deceptions that shape our enslavement on Earth can only fall when we dismantle our personal illusions. Otherwise, everything will stay the same. The collapse of a personal illusion can be shattering and painful to accept, but we can no longer hope that the great pretender within will keep us in peaceful oblivion. And while often some external circumstance can create the impetus for self-examination and force us to break through our barriers, we don’t have to wait for this. It’s valuable to consider the consequences of our inner deceptions, and the trajectory that will unfold for us based upon what we hold in our field. This can feel overwhelming if we resist looking at what we need to see. We may even feel that we’ve already dealt with an issue in our lives, and are dismayed by its return. However, if it’s still surfacing in our experience, then it means there is more about it to witness with discernment and heal. We are now freer than ever to let the facades fracture. This can be seen as a celebration, if we acknowledge that it is bringing us into more of our truth and peace! We can’t force our ego to fall but we can inquire proactively

to participate with raising our consciousness: “What illusion am I holding onto that is most getting in my way now?” Those that travel the spiritual path faithfully know there will be inner obstacles to face, but also that they are only illusions. When we trust that we are always supported we know the seemingly impassable is not impossible. When our inner deceptions press us on us to awaken even more and step into a new reality, no matter how it comes to us, whether it’s mind blowing, life-changing, or feels devastating, we know God has not left us alone on the road. We are not forsaken, rejected or abandoned. Our God-Self always remains within, steadfast and waiting to show us what possibility lies beyond the illusion that we just can’t see - yet.

The 3rd Alternative in Mediation – Part 1

“Synergy is when the whole is greater than the sum of the parts.”

his is one of the epigraphs to Stephen R. Covey’s 2011 book The 3rd Alternative. I recently came across this book in my personal conflict resolution library, and was inspired to dip into it again. In this book the renowned author of The 7 Habits of Highly Effective People presents a breakthrough approach to conflict resolution and creative problem solving. Covey explains that the 1st Alternative is my way and the 2nd Alternative is your way. People then fight over whose way is better, with standard “win-lose” thinking dominating the process. In this 2-Alternative world, disputes are often “resolved” through compromise, a “split the baby” approach that may temporarily stop the fighting, but does not yield a true resolution, i.e. an outcome that is fair, wise, efficient and, most important perhaps, stable. The 2-Alternative mindset allows for only two possibilities for everything. This two-sided thinking, writes Covey, is why we have liberals against conservatives, workers against management, lawyer against lawyer, rural against urban, environmentalists against developers, white against black, religion against science, and spouse against spouse. “It’s why we have racism and prejudice and war,” sums up Covey. And, I might add, it’s why we have an adversarial legal system that creates artificial winners and losers without regard to the importance in family law of creating sustainable, respectful settlements that allow families to move forward after divorce. The 3rd Alternative transcends both the 1st and 2nd Alternatives and is achieved through the process of synergy. Covey writes, “Synergy is what happens when one plus one equals ten or a hundred or even a thousand! It’s the mighty result when two or more respectful human beings determine together to go beyond their preconceived ideas to meet a great challenge. It’s about the passion, the energy, the ingenuity, the excitement of creating a new reality that is far better than the old reality.” Synergy is not the same as compromise. “In a compromise, one plus one equals one and a half at best. Everybody loses something. When we get to synergy… (we get) to something new, something that excites everyone with fresh promise and transforms the future. Synergy is better than my way or your way. It’s our way.” Unfortunately, synergy is a word that has been overused and misunderstood. Covey related that in his experience, “…if you want to make someone’s eyes roll, just throw the word ‘synergy’ at them.” The word has

613.237.7335 been misused so often in business that many people at best don’t understand it or, at worst, don’t trust it. (I love Covey’s quote from a friend of his, “When I hear the word ‘synergy’ used by people wearing suits, I know my retirement fund is in danger.”) I cannot think of a dispute resolution process less synergistic than our current court system, which no one would use the words “passion,” “ingenuity,” or “excitement” to describe. Rather, it is the process of mediation, with its focus on creativity, flexibility and authentic resolution that provides fertile ground for synergy to develop. One of the basic tenets of mediation has always been “Invent options for mutual gain.” Long before Covey wrote The 3rd Alternative mediators have been assisting separating couples move beyond the destructive twosided, win-lose mentality that characterizes many family law disputes. More on this important topic next month... 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.

Simply Yoga By Robert Thompson

y 10 year yoga journey, like many new devotees was guided by a perception of yoga as an ancient and mindful antidote for the goal driven type A pressures of 21st century life. Yet as I explored the modern menu of yoga options I wondered if I wasn’t experiencing some hybrid with as much allegiance to modern fitness culture as to its ancient wisdom. The beauty of “modern yoga” is that it has become accessible for so many people by presenting itself in a vernacular that aligns with their perceived goals; yoga for runners, anti-aging yoga, pre-natal yoga, power yoga to support your higher, harder, faster ambitions. This niche marketing is a blessing because it has brought thousands into the practice that might not otherwise have embraced it. But the very act of defining yoga by a goal – cardio fitness, or weight loss for example – sets the focus on where we will be and not where we are in the moment. How many of us in a yoga flow class have found our concentration on the pose we are flowing to, and not on perfection of the pose we are in. Did we measure our progress by the vitality and afterglow of a hot sweat, or by the moment by moment contemplation of a breath, or alignment or simply balance?

Wishingtree Yoga Centre’s co-founder Rupa Manjari Devi Das is traditionally trained and has explored many styles but has evolved to practice and teach a style of Hatha she has come to call Simply Yoga. Regardless of the advancement of the student or the rigor of the practice, the focus is always on the basics, breath and balance, precision of movement and position in the pose. Intensity comes not from feats of strength or new flexibility, but from simple concentration on thoughtful perfection of posture. Strength, balance and flexibility flow naturally from concentration. It is not just “yoga basics”, it is the base to yoga. Wishingtree Yoga Centre provides a sacred space supporting the practice of many styles of yoga, Yin, Hot Power, Hatha Flow and others, but Rupa’s passion and focus, and the passion and focus of her students at all level is Simply Yoga.

The Power in You to live life gracefully

By Sandra Rajpaul, Author & Speaker hat if there were a dimension within you that you can access where you no longer feel broken, a dimension of wholeness, aliveness and possibilities? It is a space within you where you can connect to a power that reveals your true essence, which are of peacefulness, abundant joy, clarity and deep wisdom. The moment you connect with this power, your perception of life changes profoundly such that you are now able to live from that space or dimension which allows you to experience life as a natural movement, without the internal resistance to whatever comes before you. It allows you to let what comes, come and what goes, go. In such a state, one feels free and light within. In order to access this power, one must first “Let thine eye be single,” i.e. one is encouraged to change one’s focus from the external and physical to the internal world, and

are individualized to the needs of each patient which is the hallmark of my practice. While allergy constitutes the bulk of my practice, I treat patients with many other chronic conditions using a variety of other techniques. When looking for NAET treatments at either the NAET Clinic of Ottawa or NAET Clinic Gatineau, be sure you are booked to see Judy Spence. Only Judy Spence of the NAET Clinic of Ottawa or ‘naetottawa. com’ works at the NAET Clinic of Ottawa. Internet searches for NAET Ottawa have recently started coming up with confusing results. There is only one NAET Clinic of Ottawa and it has been referred to as NAET Ottawa and naetottawa.com on the internet for the past fifteen years. If anyone else’s name, other than Judy Spence comes up when searching NAET Ottawa for a NAET practitioner, it is not a listing for the NAET Clinic of Ottawa. Representations listed by persons under NAET Ottawa are not practitioners of the NAET Clinic of Ottawa or the NAET Clinic Gatineau.

to draw one’s attention away from what everybody else is doing, saying, being, thinking, behaving and instead turning one’s eye inward on oneself. The reason for this is that all things external of oneself are the very things that easily cut off your connection to this power which can only be accessed within, and once this happens only then you will begin to experience it without, as it is a projection of what is within. This power does not guarantee that your life will not have “problems” which is the nature of this world of duality. But it lifts you such that you vibrate at a higher frequency, which allows you to live life gracefully through your dayto-day activities, events and experiences. You are invited to sit in silent communion during Sandra(ji)’s Events so that you can tap into and access this space of great potentiality whereby you can live with a greater sense of ease and inner freedom. Come and sit in meditation and allow the words in Sandra(ji)’s discourses to awaken this power in you as the soul is reminded of what it already knows. ©2015 by Sandra Rajpaul. All Rights Reserved.

ibromyalgia is a chronic condition characterized by a constant dull pain throughout the body accompanied by fatigue and sleep disturbances. Symptoms can vary depending on the weather, stress, physical activity, and even time of day. Generally the pain is widespread and occurs in the muscles, tendons, and ligaments, along with especially sore spots called “tender points” on various areas of the body. Fibromyalgia can be accompanied by many other conditions including chronic fatigue syndrome, depression, headaches, IBS, arthritis, and restless legs syndrome, among others. There is still no clear cause for this condition, though it is believed to be a combination of genetics, stressful events such as car accidents, emotional stress or trauma, repetitive strain on the body, infections and other illnesses- basically everything that drains our immune system. Fibromyalgia is a complicated condition and Western medicine often finds it difficult to treat. Fortunately, acupuncture has a lot to offer for sufferers of fibromyalgia. With fibromyalgia, there are a number of patterns in Chinese medicine (TCM) that can contribute. The first is spleen deficiency, which can be responsible for many of the symptoms of fibromyalgia, including fatigue, digestive problems, muscle weakness, and poor thinking. Liver qi/energy stagnation or blockage can also be a factor, causing emotional symptoms and muscle-joint stiffness. Blood deficiency prevents the body from being properly nourished, causing the constant pain typical of fibromyalgia. Kidney deficiency also plays a role, as all chronic muscle-joint pain tends to include the kidneys, and the kidneys are at the foundation of good health. Acupuncture can help to reduce tender points, relieve body aching and pain, and improve mood, sleep and digestion, as well as many of the other symptoms

Laura’s Numerology News For September 2015 How to calculate your personal monthly number for September Add the day of your birth to the month of your birth and then add the number 8 to this number. You always add double digits together in numerology to reduce to a single number. (Example - birthday of Jan. 5 – Jan. (1 month) 5 (day) added together = 6 then add this month’s number which 8=14. Then add 1+4=5. You would read point number 5 if this was your birthday. If you still have trouble, email me at Lbaird@istar.ca 1. A shift is coming. Are you really ready for it? Get busy and plant new seeds and make radical moves, now. Finally, the past is behind you and you can advance, or… not? Take advantage of this critically important period. Use it well, my friend. 2. Many of your projects will slow to a snail’s pace this month and you will be forced to be patient. There may be a few delays and frustrations that create a large knot in your forehead. Find Zen early and stay there, no matter what. Pushiness pushes back. 3. Renewal and healing are the focus for you this month. You may even consider this a time of “rebirth of self” after many life challenges. Take the final lick of your wounds and let the pain go. This period would also be ideal for selling, writing or promoting yourself, or your ideas. Your creative juices will be flowing, so use them. 4. I really hope that you experienced some down time in August, as September squeezes you into a period that requires discipline, fortitude and productivity. Put your nose on the grindstone and keep it there. Do it now, benefit later.

associated with fibromyalgia. The key to remember with acupuncture is that it is a healing process, rather than an instant fix, so recovery takes time and each treatment builds on the progress of the last, producing a steady and gradual improvement. We must also factor in the complexity of the condition and consider that conditions that are more complex or that have been developing over a longer period of time take more time to reverse and undo.

5. Stay loose as you will experience a multitude of twists and turns in September. Prepare to take advantage of new opportunities. Look for them. Take the reins and steer, now. Watch your mouth, as you might say something that gets you into trouble. Use the soft sell approach this month and you win. 6. Everyone needs a huge chunk of you in September and you might feel that there is not enough “you” to go around. Remember to pace yourself. Use this month to catch up on house or garden work and renovations. Try to focus on any family issues that need to be ended or resolved, also. This is a “we” month not a “me” month. 7. What have you been focusing or stressing about this year? Whatever it is, you might find that your head is full and close to bursting, now. Try to remain calm and get professional help if you are on the line. Save all major decisions until October, if possible. This is a “me” month and not a “we” month. Water the plant called “me”, now. 8. Are you being tested and evaluated this month? The chance of recognition or advancement is emphasized, so watch your posture. Career and money issues are in your face. Get ready to work hard and move ahead. Keep your eyes wide open for a richer world, now. 9. Can you kick back and take a holiday this month? If not put a big effort into finishing your “to do” list and clear a path so that you can start new projects and suck up a powerful energy that is coming in October. Finish, excavate and prepare, only in September. There may be an ending or drama that causes you to panic. Try to remain calm, clear the path and let it go.

owen Therapy is the next generation of bodywork. Precise sets of moves over soft tissue stimulate the body to rebalance so that the self-healing mechanisms work more effectively. Results may include pain and symptom reduction, relaxed muscles, healing of injuries, decreased inflammation and swelling, increased circulation and lymph flow, improved digestion, hormone balancing and more. The practitioner’s moves are so gentle that babies, the elderly, and those who are bedridden or in severe pain can be treated. Here’s what our clients are saying about Bowen Therapy.

Chronic Pain and Injuries ‘’I fractured my back in 1995, developed arthritis in my knee, and I’ve had digestive problems most of my life. Over the past 18 years, I have tried various healing modalities. Nothing helped much, or only temporarily (band aid). Since having Bowen treatments, I’ve seen great improvements in my body: shoulders and hips are level, posture and knees have improved, no more back pain, my digestive system has improved tremendously, and my bowels are working much better.” - L., 85 “If you want to live pain free without the use of heavy duty medications, I highly recommend that you give Bowen Therapy a chance. In just four treatments, Bowen Therapy was able to alleviate the intense pain that plagued me for months (three herniated discs and a pinched nerve in my back). Give it a chance - what have you got to lose - other than the pain!” - D.O. Neck and Shoulder Pain “I tend to carry my stress in my neck and shoulders and had been suffering from neck and shoulder pain pretty consistently for more than six months. I started Bowen Therapy in 2014 and had a total of five treatments. My pain subsided after the first two, and after the fifth treatment, and still now (Aug 2015) I no longer carry tension/pain in my neck and shoulders. My shoulders sit further back and my posture has improved. I can truly say that the therapy has ‘retrained’ my muscle alignment.” - J.F., 43, 2015

SUCCESS STORIES Stress and Anxiety “I suffer from PTSD and one of the major symptoms is high anxiety. My doctor found my cortisol levels extremely high and my hormonal system unstable. For this reason, the practitioner treated my adrenals with Bowen therapy. Much to my doctor’s astonishment, new tests following Bowen revealed my levels are now normal and my anxiety has lessened. I have also noticed my Fibromyalgia symptoms have reduced.” - L., 53 Adolescents with Autism “There has been great success since Bowen Therapy began. The staff has noticed the individuals are happier overall with a decrease in meltdowns. After a session of Bowen, they are more relaxed, settled and de-stressed. Some have stopped bedwetting, can walk straighter and have much better posture. When the individuals are completing their work, they seem a lot more focused and eager to complete the task.” - S.K., Day Program Supervisor, 2015

Diverticulitis “The first time I had a bout of diverticulitis, I spent hours in the hospital and then took two antibiotics for 10 days. It took several days for the pain to start to diminish. The last two times, I went for one Bowen Therapy treatment and was pain free within 24 hours. The pain was still there right after the treatment, but subsided substantially by morning, much less that afternoon and totally gone by the following morning.” - M.B., 55, 2015 Bowen for Animals “Fanya the dog was a Irish Wolfhound who had an accident at three months old. When I got her, she appeared to be otherwise healthy but had a very “gimpy” hind leg. With regular Bowen treatments, Fanya became more and more agile and lived a comfortable and relatively active life for five more years.” - K., 2015 There’s a Bowen Therapy practitioner near you!

The Joy of SELF Being is Calling You. Can you hear it?

t’s an honour and a privilege to be living at this time in history. Humanity has created wonderful advances, creature comforts and incredible opportunities to connect, create and consume. Yet, so many long for more. The permission to be your true self Do you yearn to live in a world that values abundance over scarcity? Pine over questions about your meaning? Search for true bliss? Meditate to find stillness in your life? Long for the noise to stop and allow yourself to listen to your inner voice? Friends, it’s time you find solace in nature and simplicity. Hunger for real food. Heal your wounds of past fears. Imagine a better future here on earth. Give your self the permission to be your true self. Contribute to a better world. SELF Beings want to experience higher levels of vibration As SELF Beings, we want more – to be more than the outer stuff that human beings value most. More intuitive, less ego. More heart, less head. More peace, less worry. More connected than separate. To slow down. To be joyful. To be conscious and in flow with our wise and loving universe. Your soul calls you to raise your energetic vibration to higher levels of consciousness and joy for the benefit of the universal collective.

The ancient language of energy vibration is the root of joy North Americans struggle most. To be your true self requires you to cultivate joy and ground yourself in the change you seek. The roots of joy are found in the ancient language of energy vibration, but this incredible language has been pushed aside to what is now the constant chatter of human beings. The language of energy is still only at a whisper, yet the appetite for widespread joy is increasing rapidly. Listen and you will hear the universal vibrations calling you to make joy an integral part of your lifestyle. Tools to learn and transform It’s magnificent! The language of energy is not a difficult language to learn if you have the tools. You can slowly transform your life from a human being to a SELF Being. We invite you to heed your call to be fully alive. Pay your good vibes forward and contribute to a more joyful world. Dee and Shar are Energy Lifestylists with the Be Your Self Project, a global movement to raise the energy vibration of the universe. Join us, along with Deepak Chopra, at Ottawa’s launch on October 17, 2015 at the “I am Genie” event at the National Arts Centre. Visit us online at www. beyourselfproject.com

Holistic Group Healing with a Naturopathic Flavour

Sat., Sept 19 from 1-3+ Healthy cake, meditation, nature walk/tour, reiki demo, drumming circle. Check website for times

roup healing is a new format for health and personal development that we are offering at Carp Ridge EcoWellness Centre this fall. Although I am retired from the private practice of naturopathic medicine, I wanted to continue to share my knowledge and experience in a way that allows me to do my own healing work and be available to my family. We ran a naturopathic group as a pilot project a few years ago with great success: patients were able to obtain many of the same results as in one to one visits in a more affordable way and with the support of others on the same path. It turned out to be a lot of fun. Using what we learned and with the power of the internet for extra talks, questionnaires, handouts and articles, we are offering a ten month long process of monthly two hour sessions. In each session there is a meditation and a lecture on fundamental health issues, including seasonal changes in diet, exercise, sleep, treatments and inner work. This will be followed by an opportunity to ask questions. Recommended homework and extra reading will be available at the end of each session. For people who need more diagnostic tests or treatments, we will have an extensive list of referrals available. Our schedule will look somewhat like this: September: Meditation. Setting the foundation: introductions & overview of holistic principles; health goals; discovering one’s body type; starting to exercise; understanding “slower is faster”. Preparing for a fall cleanse. Navigating Thanksgiving. Q&A. October: Meditation. Going over homework. Developing an individualized cleanse from beginning to end. The critical importance of digestive function and how to improve it. Q&A. November: Meditation. Analyzing the results of the cleanse. Preparing for winter. Navigating the Christmas season. The startling importance of sleep and how to rest and sleep well. Q&A. December: Meditation. Where are we at spiritually. Picking a practice to explore or deepen. Surviving family dynamics over the holidays. Healthy sweets and Christmas recipes. Q&A. January: Meditation. Mental & emotional health. Safe techniques for inner work and a hopeful new paradigm about how our psyche intimately relates to our physical health. Q&A. February: Meditation. Sexuality, glands and relationships. Learning how to recharge our energy. Picking a relationship to improve. The power of gratitude and forgiveness. Q&A.

The Joy of Silence by Rev. Nicole Moronval

fails to astound me. In silence life becomes wondrous, beautiful and precious beyond belief. When I am in a state of listening, I truly See, and Hear and Know the

ll week, the same phrase has been running through my mind like a mantra. It was spoken by Rev. Mary Amato, an internationallyknown medium and teacher from Montreal, during one of our Sunday services: “When you are silent and listening, your Soul will be in charge. When there is a lot of mental chatter, it is your human self that is making the choices, and those decisions will not necessarily be the right ones for you.” It is almost as if that phrase switched on a light in my being, and there is now more clarity in my life. Whenever my mind begins to analyze, judge, or otherwise distort reality, my inner Spirit merely says “chatter,” and I immediately quiet my mind and return to the silence. It is a wonderful reminder that I am Infinite Being. When there is chatter, whether mental or verbal, it is impossible to listen. You are either listening or you are the one doing the talking. You cannot do both at the same time. And if you are talking, chances are pretty good that there are many aspects of your life that are not representative of your highest ideals. Silence is most definitely one of the most valuable gifts I treasure in my life. When it is present I embrace it eagerly, gratefully, and the truths it reveals never

Spirit in every person, and I understand not only that Divine Love is possible, but also that it is the only reality there is. There is no doubt that this kind of Divine Bliss is an incredible otherworldly experience, but on a practical level, joy is a reality because choice becomes effortless. When we listen we know, and when we know, we act. Inspired action means we are guided, and happiness is the inevitable result because we are following our Soul Consciousness rather than our mental chatter. After all, that is Who We Are. Come join our spiritual community at one of our Sunday services, and hear one of our many special guests bring you teachings and understandings of the journey we call life. Services are held every Sunday at 10:30am at the Westboro Masonic Hall - 430 Churchill Ave. N.

We considered the following: • the tern holistic has great depth and varies from person to person, • it ought to resonate with one’s Being and vision, and that • humanity is at cross-roads of a major change in consciousness, moving out of duality concept into the higher level of consciousness – “Oneness of All”, Thus, the term holistic “recognizes that the whole is made up of parts, intricately interconnected to form the whole; and recognizing that the whole is greater than sum of its parts” In our search for a holistic organization, Golden Light Therapies accidentally came across The Holistic Chamber of Commerce (HCC), which resonated with our Being and vision.

was standing in front of my window one afternoon talking on the phone with a client. I love to stand as it shifts my energy in a very positive way. After a while, a movement on the front lawn caught my attention. I noticed that it was a feather that was being moved around by a gentle breeze. At first I did not react as I was still too much involved in the phone conversation. It is only after I hung up that I went outside to retrieve it. Then it hit me. You see, during one of my morning meditations the previous week, I had asked one of my guides to deliver me a sign that he was with me. The sign I had asked for was a black feather 5 inches long. Guess what showed up? A black feather 5 inches long! Should we be surprised when these things occur in our lives? No! Get busy manifesting things in your life. Think of what you want, Ask for it in a heart-felt fashion, believe that it will come to you and then let it go. Be in gratitude every day for what you have and when you least expect it, your own feather will show up. Daniel Roy is the principal instructor of the Ottawabased Praxis Wealth Institute.

Sri Chinmoy Answers Experiencing Mother Meera Question: How can we overcome the habit of worry? SELF-DISCOVERY through

MEDITATION Free Ongoing Classes Relaxation, concentration & meditation Developing calmness, confidence & poise S Creating a life of inspiration & happiness S S

Sri Chinmoy

Call for dates & locations: 613-232-2387 Offered as a free community service by students of Sri Chinmoy.

SRI CHINMOY: Why do we worry? We worry because we do not know what is going to happen to us tomorrow, or even in the next minute. We feel that if we do not do something for ourselves, then nobody is going to do it. But if we can feel that God thinks of us infinitely more that we think of ourselves, and if we can consciously offer our responsibility to Him, then our past, our present and our future become His problem. As very young children, we surrender to our parents and get their protection in return. Although now we have become adults, in the spiritual life we are still children, and therefore at every moment we must try to listen to God’s inner guidance. As well, we should not commit any mistake consciously or deliberately, but if a mistake takes place, then immediately we should be ready to confess it without fear. The very idea of a mistake being shameful or unmentionable creates a wrong vibration. If we think a mistake is something that will inevitably be followed by punishment, then we are totally wrong. What are mistakes after all? First, let us take mistakes as failures. What are failures? They are the pillars of success. Failures are God’s experiences in us, and He is carrying us towards the ultimate Goal of perfect Perfection. Secondly, let us take mistakes as half-truths. If we can see within a mistake an iota of truth, then we can feel that the mistake can be rectified or transformed into truth. But what do we usually do? We separate ourselves from the mistake as if it were something dirty, ugly and obscene. Instead, let us take each mistake as a lump of clay that can be shaped and moulded into something useful. By looking at mistakes in this way, and by feeling that God is ultimately responsible for our lives, then we can easily overcome the habit of worry. Visit www.srichinmoylibrary.com for further writings by Sri Chinmoy.

By Reza Shadman he first time Mother Meera looked into my eyes I smiled for 24 hrs and that was enough to make me a fan. I had heard from a co-worker that someone enlightened is coming to town and in my innocent mind I wanted to see how an enlightened person looks like. I registered right away and a few days later found myself in a large hall with about 300 others. I learned we are there so that Mother Meera can transmit her special light to us, a process known as Darshan. The organizers explained that she does so in silence. No words. Mother would gently hold each persons head, lightly touching the temples, then she would look into the eyes and that’s it. They also explained it is best to stay for the duration, even though one can leave after receiving Darshan. After the explanation, Darshan started. Everyone was sitting quietly or in meditation, waiting to be called row by row to meet Mother’s eyes. When she looked into my eyes I perked up and by the end of the session I was all smiles. Eager to know more about her, I purchased a book and literally pranced to the bus station. I didn’t know at the time, but by reading about her and having her picture, I maintained a connection to her. What stood out the most from the book was her saying “Ask for Anything”, so I asked for her help, and a few hundred other things. Mother was with me long after the experience of Darshan and held my hand during my hard times, even though I wasn’t consciously aware. I felt something that day but not everyone feels the effect. Sometimes people feel it a day or week later or nothing at all. Mother explains however that whether we feel it or not, we receive exactly what is needed: “I do not speak but my force changes people completely. The power of the Divine works in the silence and will change things according to your aim and what you ask for. Sometimes I can give immediately what you have requested. Sometimes it takes time. Some people ask for each and and every small thing and others ask and go on asking – it depends on the individual. However, whether you ask or not is not important, I will give what is necessary.” Answers part I Mother Meera is bringing down a special light onto Earth so we can create a more loving and aware humanity. She will be touring Canada this Fall and will be in Ottawa Sunday September 20th . I sincerely invite you to experience Mother’s beautiful light for yourself.

Using Both Joy and Pain to Grow in All Relationships

I believe we can shift paradigms and view both chaotic, stressful, joyful and exhilarating events as vehicles to teach us to wake up to our authentic Self and a life of meaning and purpose. Each incident that you choose to view as a transforming moment, moves you in a new direction towards creating your authentic Self – to shower the world with your gifts. I now see part of my life purpose as assisting others on this paradigm shift.

magine if relationships were just vehicles to assist us in our spiritual evolution? Imagine if you could fall in love with where you are in your life and in your relationships? When I pondered these two magnificent questions my whole life paradigm shifted and I had one “Creating authentic power is a process, not an event. It is the of those “aha” moments.

Align with Malachite to Do What’s Best for YOU By Karen Osborne | www.crystalmedicine.ca karen@ascensionhealing.ca

f course we want to do what’s best for us, but how do we do it without disappointing other people? I think the answer is – we don’t. You have probably heard the adage ‘when you do what is best for you, it will be what’s best for everyone else.’ I know these words to be true, but I still had great difficulty living by them. Putting yourself first doesn’t mean that you conduct yourself with no regard for others, or that you give in to temptations or become self-indulgent. It means that you understand that your needs are important and it’s your job to see that they are met. Malachite is the perfect stone to help us do this. I call Malachite a ‘breakthrough’ stone. Working with it can bring the confidence and responsibility of self that is required to do what’s best for us. It helps us find the courage to change, take risks, and even do the opposite of what we usually do! Malachite purges fear and insecurity from our being so that we can rise above submission, people pleasing and temptation. It’s an ego-busting stone of spiritual acceleration that motivates decisions and actions based on what is best for YOU. Once you’ve made those self-responsible decisions, Malachite will help you remain guilt-free and not take on the emotional issues of others. Finding the courage to disappoint others by making choices that were right for me, has massively shifted my life for the better. I hope that you will find the courage to put yourself first today and every day. Malachite blessings to all, Karen Karen is a full-time healer and teacher. She operates the Pineridge Healing & Learning Centre and Crystal Store near Carp, ON. The Crystal Store is also on line.

Yes you can heal yourself with Quantum Touch

have been in bed many times, and gotten a muscle cramp in my leg or foot. Instead of getting up and running energy I lay as I am and run the energy into my head and crown chakra, and then back down through my body to the area that is in spasms. Every time I have tried that, it has worked really well, and actually just as well as the other times I tried it by sitting up and running the energy right to the muscle with my hands. Muscle cramps are actually a really good thing to try, as you know your results immediately! I need to take a good amount of calcium/ magnesium daily to keep from getting them, so if I ever forget them a couple days or run out, I usually need to run the energy. It was amazing to me the first time it worked, because I’ve had them (leg/foot/toe cramps) my whole life, and have always had to jump out of bed immediately and walk them off to get rid of them. The self QT has worked really well for these cramps when I get them… This is just one of the amazing stories of healing your own body with Quantum Touch. I also have healed my immune system and my asthma using this wonderful healing energy! When I go to bed in the evening I rest my hands on my chest and do the 2-6 breath and I wake up feeling refreshed and I have gotten off my stronger

medications which the doctors had prescribed for me yrs ago. When you learn Quantum Touch you know it for a life time and you can also use it to heal your family, your friends and animals are very sensitive to the energies. I had used Quantum Touch on my black lab mix and he loved it, he had terrible arthritic pain in his hips resulting from abuse as a puppy so as I worked on him I saw an amazing transition to seeing him running like a puppy and he was 12 years old! Quantum Touch can reduce and many times eliminate arthritic pain in the body as well, I’ve used distance healing on my own body and it has taken away hip and knee pain while I was walking! Learn to vortex or spin the energy and chakras and feel a beautiful soothing healing energy throughout your entire body. Children are very sensitive to this energy as well. I worked on my child’s runner’s knee for 20 minutes and the pain was GONE and never returned…then she began to label me as a healer. I’m not a healer, the person you are healing is the healer, we just create the space for healing and the body does its work. Anyone, at any age can learn Quantum Touch Call us today or visit our website to learn how you can register for our workshop(s) 613-226-1129

St Medical Chi Gong Conference Easier Garden Methods 1Action-Packed Key to Bring Back Nature 5 Day October 23-27 Toronto

onverting lawns to food and flowers is a mass movement. Inviting Mother Nature back into your environment, you interact with cosmic forces in a positive way. To change from grass to garden is easy with combined techniques of modern organics. The combination of techniques is (1) make a frame 10 inches deep (2) put landscape cloth on the bottom (3) fill the box with 1/3 garden soil, 1/3 peatmoss, and 1/3 mixed manures and composts. Also known as Square Foot Gardening, a somewhat misleading title. It’s not about square feet, it’s about bigger plants with less effort. I will set up your garden-box so you can get started. Plants are connected to the energy-waves of planets and stars. We can ask our carrot or zucchini to give us healing. Gardening is peace. We need peace, not war, to grow a garden. An hour in the garden brings peace of mind. Spend a peaceful moment watering the garden. Get more butterflies and freedom from techno-food! For people with no yard, I’m exploring interest for a co-op to buy the New Life Retreat and farm, at Hopetown, Ont. That would combine garden spaces, eco-community of sorts, and my interest in getting a large number of people to each pay a small amount for shared land.

Start a New Journey and Step into Nia this Fall

ia. You may have heard about it but probably not, unless you are into researching all the various dance forms out there these days! Or, unless you are from the west coast; Nia seems to be much more abundant in Western Canada, which makes sense given her roots are in California. I was first introduced to Nia while I was living in Asia, in Hong Kong five years ago. It was a brief meeting but it was poignant and impactful. It was a meeting I would not forget and one that I never wished to forget. It was a relationship that I longed to re-kindle when I returned to Canada in 2011. And re-kindle it I did! I promptly found a class which I tracked down on the internet and off I went, and I have not looked back since. Our first meeting in Hong Kong was joyful. I could not believe that I had managed quite by accident in fact, to find a movement practice, a fitness regime even, that was FUN and joyful, not only for my body but for my mind too! It was love at first class for me and I think that is often the case for those who

Falling into Routine

utumn is the time of year when we reset ourselves: whether it is with goals like going back to school, taking a special interest course, getting back to the gym or deciding on getting healthier with a detox or quitting a bad habit. The carefree days of summer are behind us for another year, and we feel recharged. Essential oils can be especially helpful right now. If the kids are going back to school, it will be helpful to have some blends that prevent infection. Back to the gym means some bacteria-busting action as well. Focus and concentration can be supported by certain essential oils, and so can assistance with beating bad habits. This month, I would like to share some recipes that you can make yourself, to assist you in whatever challenges you may find coming up this fall. Many essential oils are anti-bacterial, anti-microbial or anti-viral. What this means to us is that they can help prevent sickness and keep our immune systems healthy. Some of the more commonly known anti-bacterial oils are tea tree, oregano and lavender. Thyme is one of my favourites, along with manuka, reported to be 20-30 times more powerful than tea tree. You might also like to add a citrus oil like lemon which may help mellow out the blend. The general rule of thumb when blending if 5 drops of essential oil to 15 mL of liquid (oil or water). If you wanted to make an antibacterial spray, you would add the essential oils to the container, then add a teaspoonful of vodka or glycerine (this will emulsify the essential oils) and then top up with distilled water. A spritzer could be used as an antibacterial wipe for little hands, as an addition to gym shoes and lockers, or to keep handy in the bathroom or kitchen. Essential oils can also enhance your mood, so if you are thinking of quitting a bad habit, oils that are calming are a good idea! Frankincense is one of the premier oils for stress and anxiety. It calms the nervous system, as does lavender, which is great for balance and harmony in the body and mind. Lemon, eucalyptus and cedarwood are also reported to be effective. Geranium is an all over balancer for moods, hormones and skin, so it would also be one of my oils of choice. Using the dilution rates mentioned above, you can create bath or body oils to assist your process of quitting whatever you have chosen. Remember that scent is a very personal thing, and the oil won›t work if you simply can›t stand the smell.

There are essential oils that can help your body eliminate toxins. Juniper, cypress, lemon, black pepper, grapefruit, fennel-the list is long! You can make up a massage oil which can also be used after the morning shower to assist the body in removing toxins. Massage the blend from the extremities towards the torso, which is where the organs of elimination reside. Don›t forget, the skin is the body›s largest organ and detoxifies by itself, especially when we are sleeping. Some diluted essential oils suggested here rubbed on the soles of the feet before bed can also help the body do its job in cleansing. Focus and concentration: for students, I recommend using either rosemary or basil to help mental fatigue and increase focus. If you put a little of either essential oil on a cotton ball while studying, and then have some on hand when taking tests/exams, the scent will help evoke the memory of what you were studying. Peppermint, spearmint or wintergreen are also stimulating oils, so can energize a tired mind. I find rosemary essential oil a little sharp/ medicinal smelling, so perhaps blending it with some lemon or lavender would help round it out. Basil smells a bit like licorice, so if you are not a fan (of licorice), you might want to blend the basil with bergamot, clove, or... rosemary.

Meditation and Spiritual Growth W

hen the mind calms, and when thoughts cease, the individual sense of self awareness flows into a vast sea of consciousness; the boundary between the small sense of self and the Universal - Higher Self dissolves. This is where meditation leads us. The media is full of reports on the positive neurological and health benefits of meditation. Yes, these benefits exist. The studies are instrumental in having medical professionals endorse meditation as a health practice. They may help convince school boards to try meditation in the classroom. Meditation has been shown to promote a calm environment and enhance learning. But these are not the only reasons for taking up meditation. The 7,000 year yogic tradition has carefully mapped the physical and subtle anatomy of the human organism. It has found that humans exist simultaneously in the physical, mental, energetic and spiritual realms. Meditation is a tool to explore all these dimensions. The meditator can explore the inter connectedness of the physical and mental realm; how thoughts and feelings affect physical health. They may tap into a level of the mind beyond the ordinary sensory realm and inner dialogue to connect with a source of creative ideas and subtle intuition. Their meditation may inspire artistic expression or help them understand their interconnection with the world around them at subtler levels. And ultimately, it can lead them to a place beyond thought. A blissful experiential state where only pure consciousness exists. In this unbounded state they connect with a vast, universal consciousness which is the underlying ground of all existence. This profound state of expansion into higher consciousness is the inner truth and inspiration for all religions and spiritual traditions. A meditation practice is the means a person can use to experience this truth for themselves. It does not require belief. It does not require huge sums of money. It only requires a human body and a willingness to set out on the adventure of self discovery. Chris Simmonds Chris Simmonds is an ordained teacher in the Ananda Seva meditation lineage and has been practicing meditation for over 40 years. He teaches both individually and in group classes. His course "Cosmic Mindfulness: Meditation in the Yogic Tradition" starts on Wednesday, Sept 23 and runs for 6 weeks. For more information please go to www.ottawameditation.ca .

A Clean Energy Movement Grows in Ottawa

fter flipping the switch on nine solar energy installations, the Ottawa Renewable Energy Co-op (OREC) has launched its most ambitious share offering yet, a $1.7 million plan to fund a new series of clean energy projects across the region. The share offering closes October 31, and OREC is encouraging clean energy and healthy living enthusiasts to join the co-op—a lifetime membership costs $100— then invest their hard-earned cash in a way that reflects the kind of world they want to create.

An Investment, Not a Donation Here’s the key thing to bear in mind: Dollars placed with OREC are an investment, not a donation. Each project will generate at least 20 years of revenue from the clean energy it produces, and the co-op offers a rate of return on the shares it issues. “OREC gives me the opportunity to align my investments with my values, and not have to compromise things I would otherwise make a priority in my life to get an above-market rate of return,” says OREC member Josh Snider. Three Ways to Participate Any member of the co-op can participate in the share offering in one of three ways: • Investment shares cost $500 each, and the minimum first-time investment is $2,500. OREC’s target is to offer a 5% annual rate of return on investment shares and reimburse the original capital over 20 years. • You can invest through your RRSP, either by opening a new plan or transferring funds from an existing one. The minimum first-time investment with RRSPs is $5,000. • For a shorter-term investment, members can issue a five-year loan to the co-op and receive a 3% annual rate of return. The minimum loan is $5,000.

SUSTAINABLE INVESTING STARTS HERE

Offering will fund six new rooftop solar projects in Ottawa Minimum investment: $2,500 ($5,000 using RRSPs)

“My OREC investments allow me to avoid the negative things I don’t want to invest in,” Snider says. “And they actually give me an opportunity to invest positively in things that excite me, helping to create the future we all want: A clean energy future that helps to address and avoid climate change.” Visit www.orec.ca for information on the Ottawa Renewable Energy Co-op, or www.ottawarenewableenergycoop.com/ current-offering/ for details of the share offering.

Notice From The Great Beyond Channelled by Lisa Virtue

e in Spirit, channelling through Lisa to you, wish you to hereby know, to understand, that life has not only begun changing, but is rapidly changing. You are finding yourselves coming into connection more readily. You are having new Divine experiences with other energy forms and realms and resonances. Some may still feel reticent in admitting these to be true, however, know they are. What can you do in the midst? Accept. Release resistance. Know that the changes are beneficial. You would not be moving into realms of pain and suffering with this shifting that is coming, you are moving into realms of light, love, joy and acceptance. We hear many feeling that they are suffering through this and we request that you witness that part of yourself which is resisting change, which is choosing the perspective of deep suffering. Find a compassion and love for your inner self and a releasing of as much of the resistance to what is as you can. Recognize that the pain leaves as you move yourself through healing, through allowing newness, and bringing in a profound knowing that your spirit is guiding you into what serves your life best. It would not lead you otherwise. So this notice is to say, yes dear ones, you are transitioning. Do not fear, loves. You are held in great arms of energy, guiding you. What lays at the other side of the shift? It is a new sense of being, ultimately. A new, or re-defined, merge, connection, unity, perspective on what is, through the view of loving and acceptance. Many are finding or moving into new levels of their own abilities and powers, as you might call them. Enjoy these shifts, they are for you to enjoy and have fun exploring. Allow the gifts that you manifest and feel, to inform and assist you in your life and how you truly feel you wish to interact with others - those around you, those from afar.
