W hat’s Above With Clairvoyant Kim
When a loved one has passed, how soon can they send us a sign? Is there a process they go through to adjust to the change in their energy level? How long should I wait before asking for a sign or see a medium to make a connection? ~ Linda M., Edmonton, Alberta ~ Great question. Based on my experience with channelling, souls are able to communicate with us right away. When we separate from our physical bodies, the soul falls into a "sleep or a lull" for a period of time. It is very similar to being in a deep meditation. The length of time of rest depends on how long that person suffered before they crossed, example: a long cancer illness. The sleep is a way of recharging our energy/soul. Keep in mind that there is no sense of time "on the other side" (time is physical, man made), a soul could be resting for quite some time, but for us, it is a fleeting moment. This is a difficult concept to take in. I have channelled many souls who have crossed over the day before. It is also common for people to have a visit from a loved one not long after they pass, it is a reassurance to us that they are still with us and close by. I recently lost a beloved aunt just before Christmas, and the very next morning she came to me to let me know that she was fine, happy and with her mother. So, a person can start asking for signs right away and can visit a medium as soon as it feels right for them. I need to know that my mom is okay? I can't stop missing her, as she lived with me for the last 6 years. I cry all the time it seems and everywhere I look I feel her, but not her presence. How can I ask my mom to come and visit me, so that I can feel that she is all right? ~ Debbie K., Hinton, Alberta ~ I am so sorry to hear of your mothers passing. Losing a mother can be one of the most difficult losses. You obviously loved her very, very much, that is why the pain is so great. If you are feeling her everywhere, that is her presence with you, try to find it comforting, because she is trying to console you from the other side. Mothers do not stop being our mom's, just because they have

changed form. I believe that you are being flooded with thoughts and memories of her, especially ones from your childhood. I also feel that she has reconnected with a baby that passed many years ago. There was great happiness for her in this reunion. She is putting those thoughts to you so that you can still feel a connection to her. She has gone nowhere; she still walks with you always. If you can really find a way to believe this, you will not feel the loss so deeply...and is she all right, well, never worry about anyone on the other side, they are always happy, healthy and at peace. My son in law has recently passed from an accident. Since the accident, my daughter has withdrawn from me. She has declined to go for any grief counselling. I would like to know how to best help her? ~ Karen C., Calgary, Alberta ~ Your daughter is truly blessed to have a family that can love her and help her through this difficult time. It feels that she is not one for sharing her feelings and emotions at anytime. There are so many different ways that people grieve. Some visit cemeteries on a regular basis and others cannot bear to go. Some talk about the trauma constantly, while others can't seem to speak of it at all. There is no right or wrong way to process a loss. Having a session with a medium can be very helpful. To connect with that soul again, to hear that they are happy and safe, and that they are still near. I read for a woman a few days ago who was grieving the loss of her son. He came through loud and clear and proceeded to tell me/her, in great detail, everything that his mother had done that morning. She had been in the shower that morning and ran out of conditioner, she jumped out of the shower, swore, and ran to another bathroom to get a new bottle. Well, her son told me all this, she was laughing and crying at the same time. She had no doubt whatsoever that he was still here. Reassure your daughter that there is help for her and that she can come to you when she is ready. She will. I do see your son in law flying down the road having a great time, maybe on a motorcycle.

I would like to know about reincarnation. Does this process happen to every soul? ~
Kathy S., Strathmore, Alberta ~
Love this question! Yes, we all reincarnate. No one is on his or her last journey down here. The reason any of us have a physical experience is to learn. Earth is like a big university campus, where we are all taking different classes and learning different lessons. For some of us, we have to keep taking that same class over and over again until we get the lesson. Once that lesson is learned, another one will be presented. Learning never ends. Our souls are constantly a work in progress, whether we are operating in the physical or non-physical world. Some souls have had more lives than others. They are often called old souls or advanced souls. These souls have had more life experiences than others. They seem to really understand that we are here to help one another. All philanthropists are advanced souls. An old soul could never hurt anybody or anything. They understand that if you are a good person and help others, you will truly have a blessed life. Kim Dennis is a proven clairvoyant medium who resides in Calgary. She is the author of the book What's Above?, a radio host on 1060 AM in Calgary, Thursday evenings at 7 p.m. and is currently producing a second television program for the fall.

ANNOUNCEMENTS NEW BOOK - Sawbonna: Dialogue of Hope. A Real Life Restorative Justice Story. By Margot Van Sluytman (Calgary, AB)
Award Evening, November 25, 2008 Dominion Herbal College, Burnaby, B.C. (Est. 1926) Klaus Ferlow receiving the Honorary Master Herbalist Diploma. He is only the fifth recipient in the Oldest North American Herbal Colleges 82 history!

Dr. Michael L. Hadley, Project Director, "The Spiritual Roots of Restorative Justice," Centre for Studies in Religion and Society, University of Victoria: "Violence shatters our bedrock assumptions about ourselves and our world. Trauma, grief, anger, and hopelessness seem all that is left. No one is spared. But there is a way out. It is the path of reconciliation. The journey along this path is never a soft option, for it is fraught with many risks. Courage, honesty and hope are the keys. Accountability is the first step, and Grace the final gift. Sawbonna: I See You. Dialogue of Hope, shares insights into the experiences of two people whose lives were radically altered by a violent encounter. It highlights signposts and turning points on their life-long search for spiritual healing. It marks a deeply personal step towards restoring the once-broken moral bond of community." Margot Van Sluytman resides in Calgary, Alberta and is a Poet, Award Winning Expressive Writing Facilitator, Scholarship Recipient to The Thomas Merton Institute for Contemplative Living, Member of The National Association for Poetry Therapy, Member of the Society for Arts in Healthcare. Her book can be ordered online at www.Sawbonna.com or contact her at info@margotvansluytman.com
Free Darshan (Blessing) by Mother Meera March 29 - Calgary, AB March 31 - Edmonton, AB Must pre-register at: http://mothermeeradarshancalgary.com or http://mothermeeradarshanedmonton.com Mother Meera has come to purify the consciousness of the earth so it may be ready for Transformation. She is calling down onto the earth the light of the Supreme that makes transformation certain. Her work in our time is to open all people to the power and radiance of this Light so the Divine Will may be done and the Divine Life established on earth. Mother wants no one to change his or her religion; She is not interested in "conversion." For Her it has no meaning. Whatever Incarnation you believe in, pray to Him or Her with all your heart and soul. All prayers sincerely addressed to the Divine go to Her; all sincere cries of the soul are heard and answered by Her; all pure opening to the Divine are openings to Her and Her Light. Mother's work is for the World, for all creeds, for all castes and all colours. She is the Mother of us all and in Her Love we should live in peace and love.

available to all of us. When a connection is made to the universal energy we can easily bring these and many other feelings into our being on every level.
Self Worth By Judy Blais We all deserve the best this life has to offer; but do we feel we are worthy of the best? Some people believe that the best things must be earned; that there is a reward system, and that it is necessary to accumulate enough 'points' in order to receive the 'good' things life has to offer. They put good health, happiness, and joy into this category. Since we are all on this earth to live the best life possible, and to learn everything we can to make that happen, why limit ourselves to what we are 'allowed' to accept, to make life easier?
Often we need to release the scarring from a traumatic event from our past before we are able to accept the feelings of self-love and self worth. Removing limiting beliefs and other blocks we carry, and believing in our own self worth will change the way we treat ourselves and how we look at others. Change the way you think about yourself, start by telling yourself that you are worthy of the best this life has to offer. Give yourself the love you need, treat yourself to something that brings you joy every day. SMILE. When we believe we have self worth, and can feel self-love, a new world is open to us; one where we KNOW that the best things in life are available for us at all times. We are all worthy of the best. Judy is a natural energy healing practitioner at NEW INTENTIONS , located in Sylvan Lake, AB. Judy can be contacted at newintentions@live.ca Please see ad this page
Natural Energy healers use the universal energy that is all around us, tapping into it and using it to heal mind, body and spirit. We are all unique therefore we need a personalized healing. Our own body knows what it needs to help it heal; whenever we are connected to universal energy our body accepts this energy and uses it for our highest benefit. We often need to re-teach our bodies how it feels to be healthy. We may need to download what pure unconditional love feels like. Self worth may not be a feeling we have ever felt. The good news is these feelings are

Keeping Your Head While All Around Are Losing Theirs By Nicola Elliott Lapierre About 23 or 24 years ago I began reading books by journalist then author Ruth Montgomery. Ruth began writing her books through a process known as automatic writing after a colleague and friend, Arthur Ford, passed away. If I recall correctly it was Arthur, Lilly and "the group" that came through to Ruth with information concerning Earth's future. Ruth came to affectionately refer to Arthur and the group as "The Guides." Through Ruth the Guides spoke about chaotic and challenging times to come. I remember reading with fascination and also some trepidation as I wondered how we would all live with such challenges. In hindsight the words of the prophetic Guides were amazingly accurate as much of what they foresaw has come to pass. Of course we also have the writings of Nostradamus and others with prophecies of tumultuous times. Does this mean we have no power to create and maintain a peaceful existence for ourselves? Do we have to spend inordinate amounts of time "clearing" ourselves of all the fear and negativity that we feel bombarded by? The answer, of course, is no.

If you are feeling fearful and anxious but cannot identify a cause, check your level of engagement in the drama of the family, group or world consciousness. Have you put yourself in the middle of the picture? Do you feel responsible for the feelings and outcomes of others? Then ask yourself this question, how did it help when you engaged in the drama? Did the ensuing headaches, tight shoulders and knots in the stomach help in some way? Many of us are heavily invested in feeling responsible for

the actions and behaviours of others and this draws us into the drama. In fact, as adults, we are only responsible for the care and welfare of minor children. As far as the behaviours of other adults go it's none of our business unless there is a medical requirement for care. Even then the caregiver must not sacrifice himself or herself for the other.

In order for us as individuals to create and maintain peace in our lives we need to detach or disengage from the drama. This is not separation but rather being in a state of neutrality to what is going on around you. From this position you can choose to take action if you desire but remain free of the energy draining drama. There is no honour in going down with a sinking ship nor does that help the ship stay afloat. So how do we get to a place of detachment? We need to remember that we have choice. We can choose to bring ourselves back to this place by stepping outside the situation for a moment and looking at it as the observer. From this standpoint we can choose again and again if necessary to disengage and return to the center. Many healers, including myself in the past, become engaged in the client's issues. This comes from a sincere desire to help the other person. Unfortunately this type of engagement often has the healer taking on the pain of others to the detriment of their own health. Protection rituals do nothing to protect the healer in the long run. What is the protection for but to put up a barrier against weakness? Clearing negative energy is also not the answer to maintaining the well-being of the healer. In order for the healer to maintain health and vitality they must strengthen their energy and remain detached from the feelings and outcomes of their clients. Healers need only use their intent to strengthen their energy and maintain detachment. With time and practice this will become a normal state of being. This is true for all of us if we choose to walk in peace through what looks like a chaotic world. Nicola Elliott Lapierre has been studying and practicing Energy Therapies for over 20 years.

Nicola Elliott Lapierre is an Intuitive Holistic Practitioner located in Calgary, Alberta. Nicola developed an interest in healing with energy therapies and alternative treatments as a result of her own health challenges. In her early twenties she developed Grave's Disease (over-active Thyroid). The doctors tried for two years to create balance in Nicola's body but were not succeeding. A family friend who does remote healing stepped in allowing Nicola to heal which also created a spiritual awakening. Approximately 10 years later Nicola developed Celiac Disease with associated severe depression. This time her connection to Spirit allowed her to intuit how to heal herself. Then in early 2008 Nicola was diagnosed with Osteosarcoma, a cancerous bone tumour located in her shin. Once again a major health challenge served to further Nicola's growth and understanding of healing and how the mind can be powerful tool in this process. With over twenty years of study and practice in various healing arts and intuitive development Nicola developed her own style of energy healing that she calls Intuitive Healing. Intuitive Healing utilizes the intuitive senses through remote viewing to gather information from the energy and physical bodies. Energy corrections and recommendations are made based on imbalances detected in the reading. Nicola offers a Workshop Series in Intuitive Healing and offers private sessions that combine this process with the Yuen Method™ developed by Dr. Kam Yuen.

Even if your question does not appear here, Dr. Evers will answer each one in the order in which it is received.
By Dr. Anne Marie Evers Happy New Year Everyone It is so great to be writing this column in the brand New Year 2009. Thank you for all for your emails, letters, phone calls and post. I appreciate every single one of them. Today I receive many requests asking for prayer for healing. When I receive these requests, in addition to adding them to our Affirmation/Prayer List, I ask that the person writing the email, please join in, in their minds, with us in our Affirmation/Prayer Group that meets every evening at 11:00 o'clock Pacific Standard Time. If you are unable to meet, in your mind, at that time, do your Affirmations and ask that they be sent to the 11:00 o'clock. Upon request I will be delighted to email you The Nightly Affirmation/Prayer or you may print it off from my website www.annemarieevers.com Dear Dr. Evers,
How can I assist my body in the healing process? I do believe that healing is possible, but when I feel so very ill, I find it very difficult to say my Affirmations---saying I am healthy, when I really feel that I am not. It is my wish to be perfectly healthy and I am having trouble accepting my healing, when others are suffering. I feel so undeserving. Any light you can shed on this situation will be much appreciated.
I said to myself every day out loud with great feeling, energy, belief and expectancy, "Today I am 1% better than I was yesterday." You know, he said, "It started to work. After about a month, I felt o much better that I was able to sit up in bed and eat. So I thought to myself I am on to something here. I kept on affirming the same statement, over and over. Today I am 1% better than I was yesterday. Well in 90 days I was 90% better and in 100 days I was 100% healthy!". Now he travels to organizations, clubs and churches and tells his story and of other positive events that have occurred in his life motivating others to do the same. This way he WAS assisting his body with the built-in healing process. You see his mind was able and in fact DID accept the statement that he was 1% better as it was certainly believable. I asked him if I could share his story and he said, "Please, by all means do share it as it could help another person the way it helped me." This process convinced his subconscious mind, who was always listening, that it was okay and believable to be 1% better today than he was yesterday and it set about to make that statement come true and it did! So Leslie please do this process and let me know the outcome. You are in my prayers and Affirmations. Love and Affirmation Blessings, Dr. Anne Marie Evers

Where does Sickness Come From?
Dear Leslie,
Did you know that some scientists are now believing and sharing with the public that sickness begins in the energy field and in the mind about 18 months before it manifests in the physical body? Your body possesses an astonishing ability to restore and recreate itself. You regenerate a completely new liver every six months; many diseases can be reversed with the proper steps.
Thank you or your email. First of all, you DO deserve to be healthy, happy, loved and prosperous. This is you birthright. You need to recognize it, accept it and step into your Magic Magnetic Circle of Love, health, happiness and prosperity. The 1% Solution When I was interviewing a wonderful man on one of my radio shows he related the following story. He said, "You know Dr. Evers, it is hard, if not downright impossible for me to be lying in a hospital bed in excruciating pain with a tube sticking out of my nose and one out of my belly and saying, "I am 100% healthy." I could not do it-the gap was just TOOOO big! So I devised the following method and it worked wonders for me.
February 2009
Every seven years, all the cells in your body are totally renewed. In this continual regeneration of the physical body, you have numerous daily opportunities to stimulate healing and improve your health. This can be accomplished by practising the Affirmation Method, exercising, getting enough sleep, meditating, reducing negative stress and eating properly. Use your wonderful mind-power for healing. Your mind holds the power to trigger this fantastic, natural, healing

ability. Every thought and emotion you experience causes a chemical response in your organs, bloodstream, and immune system. Repressed negative emotions may trigger disease; positive thoughts and feelings can help facilitate healing. Many medical people are adding positive, powerful Affirmations to their patients' prescriptions, with wonderful results. One reader who had chemotherapy treatment for cancer walked out of her doctor's office with a positive thinking book. Her doctor told her to read it and visualize movies in her mind to heal her body. Your body believes every word you say and your words and thoughts control your health. Conversations with self and others have a lasting impact and impression on how you feel today and how you will feel tomorrow. Words are very powerful. Watch your self-talk! NOT YOUR SICKNESS Sickness is not your inheritance! Refrain from referring to any negative health condition in your life as yours. We have all heard people say, "My arthritis gets worse in the winter, or "My migraine headache is driving me nuts." Why make these negative health problems yours? They are not yours. Give them away. I have given many headaches, backaches, and other pain to the floor, the table, or a chair, asking that the pain be recycled into positive energy. Visualize pain disappearing from your healthy body. Most disease and pain is caused from negative stress, bad habits, improper eating, and negative emotions. Some people can relax and let tension seep out of their bodies by watching a fire in a fireplace. Others unwind with a brisk walk in the fresh air among the trees; still others find peace watching the waves caress the shore at some white, sandy beach. Negative thoughts of pain and disease have no place in your body. Negative thoughts, though invisible, are very powerful, nonetheless. Be patient when doing your Affirmations. If you are unwell, remember that it may have taken a lifetime to put your body into that unhealthy state.
C - Cleanse your mind of negative emotions, and body of harmful drugs, negative thoughts, emotions, or chemicals. Drugs, prescribed or otherwise, act as poisons in your system. Toxins form a part of every chronic, degenerative disease. Forgive, release and let go of negativity. Speak positively to yourself through Affirmations. Positive, directed spoken words are thoughts that create invisible, wondrous power and work to create your desired resultperfect health. Your body, mind, and soul are connected. What your mind thinks, your body feels. Emotional pain causes physical pain and, in time, this can cause disease. Give Yourself Permission to be Healthy. Permission-to-Be-Healthy Agreement "I, (your name), hereby give myself permission to be 100% healthy. I now release, forgive and let go of all forms of negativity past or present. I deserve, create, and have health and happiness in my life. I believe in myself and my abilities. I am safe and protected. I enjoy doing my Affirmations regularly. I take responsibility for learning more about my body and my health. I seek out and employ ways to improve my health daily. I enjoy relaxing, meditating, and exercising. I love myself unconditionally. I accept and approve of myself. I allow myself to be me. I am happy to the good of all parties concerned. Thank you, thank you, thank you." I Fully Accept: Signed: __________________________________ Witness: _________________________________
When you sign your name, you say, "Yes, I validate, accept, and agree with this permission slip. I am aware that no one else has a signature just like mine." You have just created a firm and binding document with yourself, your subconscious mind, God, Universal Mind, or whomever you believe in. Affirmations When Properly Done Always Work!
The ABCs of Health A - Always accept responsibility for your health. Learn about and understand the full nature of any disease with which you may have been diagnosed. Always be conscious of what you can do to assist your body in cleansing, healing, and revitalizing. B - Be yourself. Never attempt to copy others. You are unique. Believe disease can be cured and be willing to explore various avenues of healing. Listen to the advice of your healthcare practitioner and other well-meaning people. After careful consideration, make your own decisions. The Internet is a great source of valuable information about virtually every subject.

Bought And Sold By Sarah Salter-Kelly My adventures of exploration in the realm of spiritual enlightenment has gracefully shown me the shadows that accompany the light.‌ I have come to see how important it is to ask questions. How is it we decide who holds authority on spiritual wisdom, and why do we give them that role? Is it the soul loss permeating our culture that leads us to believe someone outside of ourselves can define our personal connection with spirit? And with that expectation what then do we assume of those that hold the power? I had naively believed in a universal consensus amongst healers, that we all honoured that which is sacred in this world. (you know, an etheric gathering over tea, where we all said, "yeah I know this is about oneness.. about healing, I won't let my ego get in the way!") I suppose some may argue that sacred is a matter of perspective. However there are some universal truths that hold strong. Honesty and integrity are great examples. I think they are also called a code of ethics. My naivetÊ brought me some great teachers, and provided me with opportunities to remove my rose colored glasses and observe what is going on around me. (Thank God!) I saw how important it is to consider, what is being bought, what is being sold‌At what cost.. With an ache to understand who I am, and a desire to cast off any fears that stood in my way, I began the process of moving through the Inca Medicine wheel some two years past. It is there that I had the honour of meeting and training with Denise Kinch a medicine woman from MA. She trained personally with Don Manuel Quispe, Holy Man and Altomesayok of the Q'ero Indians of Peru. She teaches very differently from what we expect here in the west. She presents it as an offering. And if we choose all the tools are given to create our own healing. She will not hold your hand, fix it for you, or repeat what she has taught. Absolute presence is required. Though you may pay for the 3-day weekend, you cannot pay for the medicine. Choosing to become it means reweaving the fabric of your being, which takes time, and means doing your homework. This is the Mountain Medicine of the Q'ero. Don Manuel believed the healing of our world would come from the west. A way for us from the West to take responsibility for the current state of our planet. So he spent his life time training as many 'westerners' as possible. Denise was with him in his last conscious moment where he asked her to continue this important work and bequeathed her his lineage. The Q'ero come from the mountain Huaman Reaper and are known as the masters of energy medicine. The beauty of their tradition lies in its simplicity. They recognise that we are not

separate from our environment and therefore may communicate with the stone people, plant people, tree people, mountains, stars and ancestors at any given time. We need only observe and listen. When we listen from our heart connected to spirit we see the brilliance of who we are. In that moment we have no need to look for any 'thing' to fix us, or fill us, as we 'are' everything we need. This is an Oral tradition. We discipline our selves to be present and 'become' what we are learning rather than record it for future reference. Having faith that we will remember what is needed at the right time. Once we insist on writing everything down we attempt to quantify the limitlessness of spirit and in that moment we create limits. How come so many of us are seeking answers in heart based native traditions, only to turn around and make them into quantifiable western traditions that are all from the head? Our spirits are so hungry, yet in our quest to quantify we end up consuming ourselves. Our belief that spiritual enlightenment can be purchased has made room for many false prophets in our world. Our certainty that another will show us the right way to pray, to "be" in this world, has caused us to loose sight of our intuitive place of knowing. This is not for sale. We cannot buy it. We have to slow down, shut up and listen. Without worry, without fear. As I learned to be still enough to allow who I am to unfold, I started to honestly observe my surroundings. Where I had once assumed that many teachers, and healers with 'power' had honed in on a relationship with spirit that I was not privy too; I saw instead that many of them were 'winging it'! Full of doubt! Yes, I had been the one who had put them on pedestals and made these assumptions. I had thought that books on the best sellers list at chapters was the spiritual doctorate required! Or Shaman on a business card was true. (why would someone lie?!) And though some I knew personally had not demonstrated who they were by HOW they lived their lives, I had made excuses for them. I had not wanted to see them. I also had not been willing to see the Market that spirituality is. Or perhaps my ego dictated that 'my' path was sacred and separate from the paths of exploitation. Ha..ha..ha.., the joke was on me! As I integrated the process of the medicine wheel I saw that there are no excuses. We all have everything we want.

We've created it, conscious or not. Be it Drama or suffering, peace or bliss. Own it! Don Manuel asked us to look closely at our teachers, and those who are leaders in this world. How they walk in their personal lives is the only way to observe what is real. What is their relationship with their family, their partners, their communities, their work? Do they embody who they say they are? Talk is cheap. In Peru there are not many Q'ero learning the mountain medicine anymore. They are hungry for what we have in the west. Funny how that works. Yet we will buy anything, so we are sold variations of their traditions, half invented by western shaman and called whatever they feel like calling it at the time, as we will believe and we will pay. Why do we do that? Q'ero are hired to perform healing ceremonies as real 'legitimate' medicine people and we assume that their clothes and their language authenticate the experience. No questions asked. ASK QUESTIONS! Use your ability to observe! Ask your self about ceremony, what is it for and what purpose does it serve. Especially if you are participating in it! To a medicine person, this is a sacred thing not to be taken lightly, not to be done for show. It is an elder who's lifetime's dedication gives him the ability to call the winds, to serve the Ayllu (community). How old are these Q'ero Medicine People? In my heart I needed to honour the gifts of this medicine by connecting with it's country. As an apprenticing teacher, an etheric understanding is not enough for me. If I want to embody it, I have to have breathed it in from the soil of its birth, bathed in the waters of it's rivers and walked next to the stars in the mountains of its ancestors. We have chosen a human, physical incarnation for a reason. And this is Mountain Medicine. When I participated in ceremony on the mountain of Ausangate with Don Manuels son, I was able to see a fraction of what it means to be a mountain person. When I walked with him on the mountain and sat with him by our Llama poo fire, again I saw a glimpse of what it truly means.… And this is only a glimpse. So this brings me to the question, can someone be teaching and offering an indigenous tradition when they have not physically connected with that land. Is it possible? As teachers we need to ask ourselves what our agenda is, and what is it we think we are 'selling'. As students we need to ask ourselves what we are 'buying'. Are we hooked by a great sales pitch, or by our personal hunger? Is our need to be healed once again consuming us? Are we allowing ourselves to be bought and sold? What is your price?

Dear Irene, I have to tell you about my toilet dreams and they happened two nights in a row. Can you make any sense of this for me please? A. In the first dream the toilet had no seat on it and was parked on the road (the cars were parallel parked.) I sat on it, did my thing and then couldn't figure how to do the after stuff and I had on a big coat; so that gave me trouble plus people were standing around and then I had to flush without anyone seeing. I ended up leaving not as clean as I would have liked. B. In the second dream I had a choice of toilets and one was in front of a window with a light overhead; one fancy one was further back but in the shadows and one was in a room marked for kids that I wouldn't go into. I didn't use any of them even though I needed to. What do these dreams mean? ~ Thank you, Marilyn. K., B.C. ~ Dear Marilyn, I am happy to offer you some insight on the toilet dreams, as they are fairly common in dreams. Ultimately every symbol in your dreams is unique to you for its personal meaning and understanding. I have broken your dream down at the symbols and I hope my suggestions resonate with you and bring some clarity. Blessings, Irene
February 2009
# 1: In one the toilet had no seat... - This may mean that you in your waking life you have no place to sit that's comfortable for you to do "your business", or even to do your job. …perhaps this means you just have no time to sit in your waking life right now and you are too busy/stressed to find a place to sit and reflect with any great comfort. - Sitting is often a time for us to take a deliberate time out and rest and if your life is too hectic it could easily cause this type of dream to give you the message that you need to take a well needed break. …on it and was parked on the (road the cars were parallel parked. I sat on it, did my thing - The road is always symbolic of our personal journey and you may be feeling "crappy" about your life or relationships right now and you don't want to linger there. - With the other cars (people on the journey with you) being parallel parked; this may show that you are out of sync with those around you. These things could be your daily routines or issues you "have to take care of"). …and then couldn't figure how to do the after stuff - Other stuff can be some other related life worries or upsets that are causing you mental distress. …and had on a big (coat; so that gave me trouble, - Coats offer protection, warmth, and a great cover up to those who may be watching in the outside world. The coat giving you trouble is possibly something you want to hide and you are not able to cover it up as easily as you thought. … plus people were standing around and then I had to flush without anyone seeing. I ended up leaving not as clean as I would have liked. - What if not feeling clean represented how you felt about an aspect of your business or personal life or with someone you are not comfortable with or feel uncertain about? - Not knowing what to do about the "after stuff" also makes you feel even more "crappy" and unclean. # 2. Then last night I had a choice of toilets and one was in front of a window with a light overhead;
The Violet Ray
Page 16
- Having to make choices in our life is a constant and stressful part of our existence and knowing or seeing that you have choices and recognizing that fact is good. - Windows are vision and clarity about our world. Looking into a window can be looking within yourself and your motivations; looking outwards is looking at external circumstances and a more extravert view of ourselves; - Light brings illumination, perhaps on this second night you are seeing a "crappy" situation with more clarity or seeing things you don't like in your life with more clarity; seeing the light can mean seeing the results of something. A light in a dream is also about seeing and knowing who we really are or how to improve on who we are or what we are dealing with. … one fancy light was further back but in the shadows and one was in a room marked for kids that I wouldn't go into. I didn't use any of them even though I needed to. - Light(s) can mean the manifesting of truth, divinity or direct knowledge and often this knowledge comes beyond form and appears as energy or spirit that comes to us in dreams and it visualizes in our dreams as light. - As there were some shadows, this could mean that there is something, someone, etc. that is not is clear as it could be. More light on a situation may be needed so you can make a decision on whether or not to ("use") or need to use something around you. - Being as something was marked for kids could identify the "who" and what of the shadows and light around you right now. Are you holding something back?

Spring & Fall Cleansing & Detoxifying By Klaus Ferlow The springtime is the perfect time for cleansing and detoxifying your body to get back into shape. Detoxifying medicine is an ancient concept that appears as part of many health care systems around the world. As a treatment detoxifying and cleansing your system is more important today than ever before because in addition to the health problems humans been experiencing for thousands of years, we are now exposed to a huge variety of environmental poisons. Disease from toxicity is caused by the presence of bio-chemicals that poison the blood and spread via the circulation system. As a result, cells and tissues are literally "swimming" in a contaminated environment. Detoxification is a treatment regimen that cleans the blood and removes toxin from the body. One of the body's natural means of staying healthy is its ability to detoxify itself. The organs of detoxification are the liver, kidneys, bowels, lungs and skin. Avoiding harmful substances such as fast food "junk food", pop drinks, drugs, tobacco, as well as supporting the organs in their detoxifying action is vital in maintaining and restoring health. Sufficient fluid intake supports the eliminating function of the kidneys, the bowels and the skin. We often forget the skin's function as a detoxifying organ, and yet many therapies rest on this ability, including the ever more becoming popular infrared sauna which promotes sweating. Fever is a natural means of toxin elimination during sickness. The heat triggers chemical reactions that enhances the immune system, and destroys bacteria and viruses. As a young child I had often fever and my mother gave me always pure elderberry juice, heated it up and added lemon juice and honey to it. This further increased my own healing power and overnight I sweat it all out and the fever was gone the next morning!
The Milk Thistle seeds regenerate liver cells, stimulates the flow of bile, protects the liver from damage of hepatitis, has been known to reverse damage caused by alcoholism and drug abuse, helps repair and reverse cirrhosis of the liver. The Dandelion root aids the formation of bile, is a diuretic with naturally high potassium level, acts to remove poisons from the body and is a blood purifier. The Nettle leaf is great in building and cleansing the blood, expels gravel from the bladder, excellent for kidney ailments, high in essential vitamins and minerals and improves mucus conditions in the lungs. The Cat's Claw bark a anti-inflammatory therapy in the treatment of all kinds of inflammations, has been shown greatly diminishing the mutagenic substances of tobacco found in the urine of cigarette smokers, helps inhibit the growth of cancer cells, boosts the immune system and works against Crohn's disease, ulcers, asthma and fibromyalgia. Herbal tinctures are a great way to get the herbs you need without unnecessary fillers and other synthetics that make up pressed tablets, gel caps or capsules. The tincture is instantly absorbed into your bloodstream and therefore very effective. Combo herbal tinctures are very potent and powerful since the liquid herbal extract works synergistically as a unit together. Suggested dosage: 20 - 40 drops threes time daily.
Most people have amalgam mercury fillings in their teeth and ecosystem, anaerobic bacteria in their root canals, abnormal bacterial flora in their guts from antibiotics, lead in their bones from years when leaded gasoline fuelled our cars and machines, and drugs in their bloodstream that throw liver metabolism out of balance. You probably read about the three politicians in Ottawa who had a check-up and had up to 55 toxic poisons in their blood! Toxins damage the cells of the body and are invisible and insidious. They break-down the "in-vironment" of all the body systems at the cellular level. This happens slowly day-by-day, year after year and it is difficult to detect until the actual onset of disease. There are many

detoxifying programs offered and here is another way to cleanse and detoxify your body with the Milk Thistle single tincture and even more effective is the Milk Thistle combo tincture, available in 50ml and 100ml bottles with the following attributes:
Here is another suggestion called the Seneca Indian Cleansing Diet, that is easy on your body from the book "Ageless Remedies from Mother's Kitchen", by Hanna Kroeger, The Grandmother of Health, 1915 - 1998, established the first health food store in USA in 1957. Detoxifying Diet First day: Eat only fruits and all you want, try apples, berries, watermelon, pears, peaches, cherries, whole citrus fruits, and so forth, no bananas please! Second day: Drink all the herb teas you want, such as raspberries,

hyssop, chamomile, peppermint, elderberry, rosehip, etc.,you may sweeten the teas slightly with honey, maple syrup or stevia.
The Tempest By Carolyn Hines (Whiteshawl)
Third day: Eat all vegetables you want, have them raw, steamed or both. Fourth day: Make a big pot of vegetable broth by boiling cauliflower, cabbage, onion, green pepper, parsley, or whatever you have available. Season with Himalayan crystal or sea salt or vegetable broth cubes. Drink only this rich mineral broth all day long. This diet has the following effect: The first day the colon (your wastebasket) is cleansed. The second day you release toxins, salt and excessive calcium deposits in the muscles, tissues and organs. The third day the digestive tract is supplied with healthful, mineral rich bulk. On the fourth day the blood, lymph and inner organs are mineralized. That makes a lot of sense to me!

The Violet Flame And War By Jean Sinclair Often people have been heard to ask, "Why does God not prevent war?" "Why did God allow my loved one to die?" "Why doesn't God prevent these things?" To answer these questions one needs to have a true understanding of God as the Source of all life. The energy flowing from the Source is like a river of light. This light energy flows along creating wondrous patterns we know of as aspects of our living world. Sound, colour and material forms are the observable God. Man is made in the image of God, as beings of Light. To think of God as in the image of man is in error.
We are co-creators with God because we are part of the Source and are in the image of the Source. Since we live in this physical level of the Cosmos we are the ones who are responsible for the causes and effects on this level. Therefore it is our right and responsibility to use our energy to prevent war and cataclysm, beginning with each individual person. The teaching about the high vibrating violet light is part of the mercy of God. Since the violet ray of the spectrum is the highest vibration we can perceive, this is the quality of light that we use to transmute negative energies, buoying up our world with light and love.
Mankind has free will, which means the free will to live in the flow of living light energy or not.
When we make use of violet flame visualization with decrees and mantras we can mitigate destructive energies. For this reason the violet flame is called the mercy flame or the freedom flame as it frees us from past misuses of energy (which has been called sin).
One person who is on the way to commit an unkind act may stop to look at the beauty of a flower, a tangible emanation of the love and illumination of the Source, and then may be so filled with the beauty as to change course and let go of unkind thoughts and deeds. Another person who is on the way of destruction may not notice the simple beauty of Creation and continue to maim or kill.
The Science of the Spoken Word is the study of constructive use of the violet ray for personal and world peace. By saying "I AM a being of violet fire! I AM the purity God desires!" or "The earth is a planet of violet fire! The earth is the purity God desires!" while centred in the heart and visualizing a grand bonfire of violet light engulfing all, we can help create a better life on earth. We are saying "God in me is‌" for we are a part of the great I AM THAT I AM, the name of God given to Moses.
All energy moves in circles, or spirals, the inexorable law of life. Whatever thoughts words or actions we create cause a momentum of energy, just as the original Source created life. Our energy we release returns in kind, for if we sent out energy of goodwill it circles out to attract more of its kind and returns multiplied but the power of ten as blessings, according to what we know as the law of karma. Often we think of karma as only being negative, for our unkind thoughts, feelings and actions return, multiplied by the power of ten, as unfortunate incidents in our lives. As well as individual karma, we have results of group karma and planetary karma which affect everyone, therefore some innocent people suffer as the result of other people's choices. However, our reactions to incidents also create our personal karma, therefore forgiveness is an important quality of life for our personal blessings.
There is really no time or space and our calls reach all of life everywhere when we speak the Word aloud. "Thou shalt decree a thing and it shall be so", given in the book of Job, is our reason for giving decrees for the world. Pocket size books Access the Power of Your Higher Self, Violet Flame to Heal Body Mind and Soul, The Creative Power of Sound and Your Seven Energy Centers are available on www.tsl.org/ Ph: 406-848-9500 For more information and to hear and learn violet flame and other decrees, see www.summitlighthouse.org/
Eventually, all energy returns to its source. This is the judgment of God and the mercy of God. All eventually reap the rewards of their actions.

Lessons Of The Drum By: Nadine Gordon "Wake Up Call" My heart is my drum. Today, I sit within this beautiful sacred safe-place and feel its power. Regretfully, I realize I have spent too much time in my head this has thrown me off balance. Sometimes, unbalanced demeanor happens when we are unable to detach ourselves from imagined problems or fool ourselves into thinking a problem isn't even ours. We conjure up pain, fall into negative behaviors and create drama that effects us badly because we fear true happiness, success and love then design tests for ourselves to see if our imagined idea of perfection is really that good. Perhaps, we don't trust that we are really worthy of all. What is all? I will face the northeast direction and invite the deer family into my heart to solve this dilemma. Commercialism has taught us that all is having more than, or bigger and better than our neighbors. We strive selfishly ahead attempting to obtain more because we are afraid of how we'll be judged if we do not keep up with the rest of society. Society has also taught us that there must be a winner or a loser, it is either right or wrong and that it is all or nothing. Sharing is unheard of, and no gray area exists therefore apparently, it is never okay to be yourself or to be thankful for what you already have. Endless competition to one up our neighbors leaves us with empty lives devoid of intimate relationships and friendships even with ourselves. Our society has become solely about money but commercialism keeps us blind to our real needs by telling us that we are never good enough. Commercialism hits us at our ego level. Our egos pummel us then strip us of our serenity. When we loose our peace of mind, we become enablers. We are unhappy. Jealousy, anger, envy and gossip are hurtful attributes caused by unhappiness. These attributes enable rage. When rage is not contained, it becomes abuse. We as a society have become blind to abuse. We have been taught that emotions are weak. So, we turn a blind eye to those in pain. Fear keeps us from being involved so we pretend that it's okay for people in pain to display inappropriate behavior then never expect them to be responsible. We cover up for them by telling untruths and become weaker than they are. We volunteer to become victims when we allow bullies or those in our vicinity to
February 2009
intimidate us. Sometimes people in our families, our friends, or our leaders are the ones who use intimidating techniques. At other times a co-worker but unprofessional conduct or lack of integrity is never addressed because we fool ourselves into believing we are powerless. It is our ego's tendency to finally tell us that we have become too wounded to continue; therefore we may victimize ourselves some more through alcoholism, drug abuse or gambling. All have become acceptable norms in our society but since commercialism tells us that it's okay to numb ourselves this way, the negative cycle continues. We have become enablers because we believe what commercialism tells us. Money is all. We have learned to believe those out there with more money have more power. Our perceptions of others clog reality to become our illusions. And, we have deluded ourselves into thinking money is power to such an extent that to gain more of it, we must be in a continual state of competition. You are either a winner or a loser. You are either right or wrong. There is no middle. You are rich or you are poor. Our society has sold out and at what cost? Is this all? This is not all. Wake-up! The deer family reminds us that the pain of others has an affect on us because it is confusing. We must learn to lovingly detach from others prior to solving our own emotional dilemmas. It is part of the Universal plan to make mistakes but learn from them and strive not to hurt others because of your own pain. Use the northeast direction to design new energy. Treat others, as you would like to be treated and treat yourself the same way. Have the courage to speak up when injustice occurs. Become selfless not selfish; share. All is sharing. We are all connected. We are all energy. Remember: Love is given. Trust is earned. Knowledge is learning. Wisdom is doing. This is our wake-up call!

Male Breast Cancer
Radiation - exposure to radiation associated with treatment of childhood disease Klinefelter's Syndrome - rare disorder characterized by abnormal chromosome pattern (xxy)
By Joette Lees
Liver disease - such as cirrhosis of the liver Excess weight - fat cells convert androgens into estrogen, increasing the amount of estrogen in your body and, therefore, your risk of breast cancer. Excessive use of alcohol - if you drink heavy amounts of alcohol you have a greater risk of breast cancer. In 2008 The American Cancer Society predicts that for approximately every 100 women with breast cancer, 1 man will develop the disease. The male breast is similar in characteristics to the preadolescent girl's breast. Statistics show that the chances for successful treatment and survival are best when breast cancer is found in its earliest stages. Statistics also show that more men will die from breast cancer than women because they are typically diagnosed at a later stage. Breast cancer isn't just a woman's disease. Men also have breast tissue that can undergo cancerous changes. Knowing the signs and symptoms of breast cancer increase the chances for recovery. The most common sign of breast cancer is a lump or thickening in the breast. Often the lump is painless. Many people excuse it as a weight lifting injury. Other male breast cancer symptoms include: - Skin dimpling or puckering. - Development of a new retraction or indentation of the nipple. - Changes in the nipple or breast skin, such as scaling or redness. - Nipple discharge; clear or bloody. - Small painful lump usually beneath the areola (dark circle around the nipple). - Palpable lymph nodes in the armpit. Having one or even several risk factors doesn't necessarily mean you'll get cancer. Some men with more than one risk factor never get breast cancer, whereas others with no identifiable risk factors do. Factors that may make a man more susceptible to breast cancer include: Age - breast cancer increases with age. Family history - such as a mother or sister; nearly 20 percent of breast cancers are inherited. Defects in one of several genes, especially BRCA1 or BRCA2 put you at greater risk of developing breast and prostate cancers. Socioeconomic Status - higher in graduates, professionals and managers Testicular Disorders - physical, infection or injury Gynecomastia - excessive growth of male mammary glands
February 2009
To diagnose breast cancer your doctor may conduct a number of tests including breast examination (clinical breast exam), mammograms (mammography), breast ultrasound, nipple discharge examination, biopsy and/or other tests. Breast cancer in men is generally treated the same as it is in women. In most cases no one right treatment exists. Instead it is best to find the approach that's best suited considering the stage of the cancer and the man's age. Before making any decisions, learn as much as you can about the many treatment options. Some men may need only surgery. Others will need surgery and additional treatments such as radiation, chemotherapy, hormone therapy and /or alternative therapy. To help reduce your risk of breast cancer, learn and practice breast self examinations on the same day every month, maintain a healthy body weight, reduce stress, eat a healthy diet, get regular exercise and avoid heavy alcohol use. Early detection also increases your chances of surviving the disease. So if you develop a breast lump or other abnormality, seek prompt care. Certain challenges for males with the diagnosis of breast cancer and the follow-up treatment may become present. The psychosocial impact of a male getting a recognized "female disease" can impact his masculinity. As with a breast cancer diagnosis in females, a man, may experience feeling alone and helpless. Breast cancer is an illness. Supporting a person when genetic or environmental illnesses occur is imperative.

From The Ground Up By Abrah Arneson
The Violet Journey
My First Understanding of Herbal Medicine When I first started my academic training in herbal medicine, I was working in palliative care and it was the first time that I cared for a woman dying of breast cancer. My heart continually ached. The physical pain of the woman, the emotional pain of her family and friends, the cancer's ravishing hunger that devoured her breasts, spine and brain, made me feel hopeless, vulnerable and scared. During this time, I was writing 250 plant monographs. A monograph describes the how's, whys and what's of a plant's medicinal uses. It was a spring morning, when I wrote Viola odorata's monograph, noting that a tea of the flowers, as well as a poultice, was a traditional remedy for breast cancer. The image of the flowers overlaying the ulcers on the woman's breasts appealed to me. That afternoon, my lab, Gracie, dragged me from my studies and took me out to the field that grew wild near my home. The spring sun was warm on my skin. Last years tall brown grasses were still standing, the green of this year's plants were poking up through the matte that covered the field. Where shadows lingered all day, the ground was still cold and moist. My mind turned to the woman who I cared, her pain, my fear, the hopelessness, as it often did in quiet moments. It was then that I saw the violets reaching for the warmth of sun, reaching through last year's matted dead undergrowth. Wild violets. Delicate and fragile, Royal Purple, hardy and unabashedly celebrating spring. The violets offered up a gentle scent. They were the harmony of strength and fragility, boldness and vulnerability, sweetness and determination. Their presence openned the door of the ache I guarded in my heart and let joy in. It was then that I realized plant medicine was more than chemicals, more than teas and tinctures, formulas, and traditions. Plant medicine is about the rich relationship between humans and plants. Its about a relationship as old as humanity. Plant medicine is about life. The next day, I took her African violets. She loved them. Abrah Arneson is a Clinical Herbal Therapist (CHT).

Am I Alone? The misunderstandings are not wanted, but when they are, there is pain and hurt. Everyone needs to be wanted and belong. The belonging is what we all strive for. - J.C. -
Writing for Peter I sat and ate, that was all that I could think to do. It was easy for me; I had been doing it many times and by myself. There was no other way. It was me just me, there was no one to sit with me or across from me. I grabbed for the pepper cause there was no one to ask for it. I just reached and didn't ask. There was the paper, I could reach for that too. It was sitting off to the side and it was almost waiting for me. There was comfort, yes always with the paper, really, any newspaper. That was what I could always count on, daily. I never bought it but I could come here, it was here for me. Sometimes left with stains and crumpled from others before me. But I really thought it was mine, all mine. I knew it somehow belonged to me. There was a time, the other day; the guy in the next table took it. Dam was I ever mad; I couldn't help but report him to the girl at the front. She usually worked when I was here, everyday about this time, 11:30 am. She couldn't believe the guy took it, I knew she thought like me, we have to share, what is this anyway? How dare he, to take my paper? Well, he had to share! The girl that works here is always happy. She makes my sandwich the way I like it, with extra butter and mayonnaise. She makes sure I get a place to sit too; I think she knows I belong here. She comes running especially for me, to clean off my table that is if someone hasn't taken it from me first. I think she needs a raise, but I hear the boss is too cheap. Just like my old man and mom they didn't give, they always took. And took everything when they passed. They must have forgotten about us kids. I never told them how I felt, why bother? They just did what they

wanted; never thought a minute of how my sister and I felt about anything. Never cared to either. Now she is gone and I am alone. Alone? Well, without them, maybe not such a bad thing. Now, I sit here and wait for someone. Someone, but I don't know who? There is a young boy, I kinda know his mother, she never says hi to me, but he does. He stops by my table and wants to sit but I think his mom says 'no' with the way she looks at him. But he does say hi and show me whatever toy he brings in with him. The last time he had a picture of his dog, Joey I think. Seemed like a nice dog, I wish he would bring him in. Maybe sometime he will. I remember I never had a dog, not even a cat or bird. Mom and dad wouldn't allow us to. They never wanted us to have anything of our own. They didn't even want friends for us. They said that they would track in mud or they might want to stay for supper. So my sister and I just did our own thing. Just together.

Today, I am going to order the special, I think I can splurge. I got a few extra dollars on my work cheque, Christmas bonus they tell us. No party though or present, just the bonus. I guess they want the best for us. I used to know a few of the guys there but most of them are younger, yeah, too young to talk to. Plus, they just seem to do their own thing, not knowing what to discuss I guess.

Married? I was never married nor cared to. I guess seeing my parent's relationship left me feeling why bother. And no kids either and I would know that one. So, no family for me. I don't miss it but I do wish I had someone to eat with, every once in awhile. I wonder if someone will sit with me soon. I have been to this same restaurant for over four years. Everyone looks the other way when I come in. Maybe they don't care to say hello. I try to keep myself clean, so I don't think that is it. Maybe I have to take the first step and say something, just anything. Maybe it is Peter that needs to take the first step or perhaps others could be more observant of those around them, regardless, it appears that sometimes others in our daily lives are alone, truly alone. Should we reach out more? Perhaps just a simple hello. Or are we enclosing ourselves away from others because of fears or simply we have no time? J.C.

Dear Sharyn, I am in a pursuit of my spiritual life and happiness. Recently, I have been thinking of why we are here, why some people are not privileged at all and some people are very privileged in this world. Just a few days ago for the first time I came across the Violet Ray magazine, and I read your responses to some of the questions people had. I have a lot of questions about my life and life in general but I just ask two of the questions that have made my mind very busy. With all the things that have happened in the world and crime in my city I am very concerned and worried about the safety of my family and friends. Every single day I am thinking that I don't want to see anybody close to me severely ill or harmed. It seems that I don't have any control over things and I am always worried about that. How can I make sure that bad things do not happen to my friends, family and myself? Thanks ~ Shar M. ~ Hi Shar, Thanks for the questions. You will notice I am only responding here to one of them, and will attempt to respond to the other by personal email to you directly. We all worry at times about those around us, hoping they will not have to suffer misfortune. It is human nature to want those around you to do well, be well and be happy. The truth about life though is that we all must walk our own walk in our lives. That means that we have no control over the plight or fate of others, we only have control over our lives and ourselves. We are certainly able to stand in support of a friend or relative who is struggling, and we can love them completely. We just can't fix all the things that may be going wrong for them. This has a lot to do with Universal Laws that guide and direct us in our human journey on earth. Let me share an example with you of a client I had and his story. I will call him Pete (not his real name). Pete used to come to me for regular reflexology sessions. He was around age 60, overweight and diagnosed diabetic, which he handled through diet and pills. He was concerned it wouldn't be long before he would be on injections. In our reflex sessions we would also chat and

Pete made several references to his son. He would comment that he had to send his son money because his truck broke down. The next time he sent him money because he couldn't pay his rent, another time it was because he had lost his job. This went on for several months until one day I asked Pete, "How old is your son?" He replied, "He is thirty-one." I asked, "How long has he had trouble dealing with money?" "Oh," Pete replied, "since he was seventeen he was never good with money." I could see this was draining Pete, both emotionally and financially and made a suggestion. It was also affecting his health and his self-esteem, as he felt responsible for his son. I suggested that if he had allowed his son to experience poverty at seventeen, perhaps he would have learned to deal better with money at the age of thirtyone. Pete was shocked, and replied," but I am his father and it is my job to see that he is okay." When I was able to get Pete to see how he had enabled his son to continue towards a course of poverty by bailing him out all the time, the lights went on for him. He stopped trying to fix everything for his son, and he loved him more than ever. He allowed him to stand on his own so he could make different choices and his son, after some mistakes; quickly learned how to look after his own monetary needs. As for Pete? He quit a job that was making him unhappy, moved to a new community to be closer to friends, joined a weight loss program and is no longer diabetic. He is also living closer to his son, who now has a beautiful wife and baby girl and is doing great. We have an obligation to our lives and we have control over our lives - we cannot control the lives of others because our lives and their lives are the result of the choices that have been made by each of us. So Shar, as hard as it seems sometimes, allow yourself to stand back and watch with love the actions of those you love. Advice is great, but only if offered with no expectation and allow each of those and yourself the opportunity to grow through the choices you and they make. You will discover more strength within yourself as well as recognize the strength of others. It is your life - their life is theirs. Love it and live it the best way you can for yourself.
Namaste from Sharyn

SOUL IMPRINTS A Soul Imprint is Custom artwork that I create and Transcribe based on the energy vibrations of the client. Since energy is Universal and has no boundaries the client does not have to be present for me to create a Soul Imprint for them. There is a substantial amount of creative and intuitive energy that goes into each and every Soul Imprint. Starting with honing in on the clients energy, to creating the actual imprint, to the scanning, reading the imprint, writing / translating and finally to the minute details which results in the end product. The entire process takes
By Carol Jay Uchytil - Eyes Of Peace -
about 3 to 5 hours to complete.
My goal for each client is to Awaken…Inspire…and Delight… (AID) while providing them with a keepsake they are proud to display. For additional samples and information please visit
www.soulimprints.ca
“Carol Uchytil’s Soul Imprints are truly distinctive and utterly amazing” “If you are looking for an unusual gift for yourself or a loved one this incredible intuitive and beautiful soul work is a life long treasure to have and enjoy” “...I must admit I am truly amazed by the degree of accuracy with regards to my personality and other key points!” - Irene Martina -
“Carol's interpretation of my Soul Imprint is amazingly accurate. I look at this imprint daily as it has a life and energy of its own. It actually seems to pulse. I love it! I enthusiastically encourage other's to experience the allure of their own Custom S o u l I m p r i n t ! T h a n k -y you Carol for such an exciting work of artistic beauty!”
“I love my Soul Imprint! Thank you - L.W. -
