Nurturing For the Soul Within

By Sacha Warder, RMT Nurturing ourselves and accepting help and love is just as important as giving care and love to others. We think that by not allowing others to help us we’re doing them a favor. But in fact we are denying them the joy and self worth you experience when YOU give of yourself to others.

Humanity as a whole is a community. We always have, and always will, rely on each other. That’s just the way it is. It is through this camaraderie that we find trust, acceptance, love and many more things in each other. When we stand alone we isolate and push away. The more we accept, the more we have to give coming from a clean space. I’m not saying we should carry each other’s burdens. In fact I would state the opposite. Support one another and instill confidence that we all have the capacity to figure out our own journeys in life. It is through our struggles and hardships that we truly find our inner strength and grow the most. That does not mean we have to ever walk alone. Love yourself enough to know you deserve love from others, and love yourself enough to take care of yourself first. In today’s society we tend to get wrapped up in buying stuff as a form of giving back to ourselves. Remember the mind, body, and soul need to be nurtured as well. Some of the easiest ways to nurture ourselves is by treating and honoring our bodies. Whether its massage, Reiki, chiropractic, or a much needed get away; take the time to make yourself a priority. I invite you to come down and have a guided, intuitive healing experience with me at Massage Above All. Sacha is a RMT specializing in deep therapeutic and trigger massage.

She has her 3rd level Reiki and is currently accepting clients for her “My Body Whisperer” practicum.

BODY

Cranio-Sacral Therapy

By Sharon Burns, MT Many people experience headaches or joint pain in conjunction with barometric changes or changes in the weather. When we understand that many joints in the body function in the same manner as a barometer, this starts to make sense. The membrane (fascia) will try to expand with a change in external or internal pressure, if that membrane is restricted in some way, pain results. Sometimes someone will feel “off balance.” Cranio-Sacral Therapy (CST) will loosen deeper structures to allow the body to feel itself again. CST uses light pressure to free up the fascia in the body so that these movements can occur without restriction.

The craniosacral system is a hydraulic system in which the craniosacral fluid is encased in three layers of membranes. The membranes are designed to slide over each other to allow movement. This fluid surrounds the brain, spinal cord and nerves.

If there are areas in the systems that do not move properly, the nerves will not receive the nourishment needed to function optimally.

Our bodies are designed to work towards something called homeostasis or balance and health.

Sometimes our bodies just need a little help. For pain, headaches and migraines along with a myriad of other issues, CST works with the fascial system to free up restrictions and create an environment in which structures can self correct.

With a trigger point, when we compress we are helping the body to focus on that one point and increasing blood flow to the area. We are also influencing the body at a molecular level through mechanoreceptors. Many patients feel that if they don’t hurt after a treatment that the therapist didn’t do enough. When we do CST, we are accomplishing the same thing in a gentler way.

Our conscious mind is an amazing thing but sometimes can be our worst enemy. Doubts can arise and stress can shape our thinking. We hold our bodies tight to control our emotions. This can sometimes result in a body being unable to let go of pain. The human body has the ability to heal wounds, adapt to injuries and re-adapt as it heals.

It adapts to any stress mental or physical. This can help us in the short term but can cause trouble down the road. The attachment point of a tendon on bone will get a calcium build up (bone spur) if the muscle is tight. If the muscle loosens up and the fascia starts to move, that extra calcium will dissolve and the structure goes back to normal.

Many people are looking for different ways to treat pain and dysfunction in the body. An exceptional member of any profession uses a combination of intuition and knowledge to guide them in what they do.

MIND

My Journey to Awakening

By Marina Theron Day after day, year after year, I have attempted to better my life, myself.

Every year I seemed to master the art of getting myself deeper into everything I never wanted for myself. As a child we all dream of the perfect life; the husband, kids, home, pets, enough money, and happiness.

Well, at least I had the kids and pet …

Frustrations built up with failed relationships, never enough money, making stupid choices over and over again and not living to my full potential as a musician. It reached a peak after yet again another abusive situation in my life. I realized that I had to start loving myself enough to avoid hurtful situations. Up to that point I had memorized the movie The Secret and felt frustrated, because I knew that there was more. I sent a friend, Lars Gustafsson an email stating that I realized the answer was to love myself. He told me he was hosting a course at the Body Mind Institute called “The Awakening Certification,” written and presented by Larry Wayne. He sent me a link to view and I immediately knew that was it. I signed up on the spot and within the first

Hypnosis is a tool for unlocking the deep power of the human mind...

five minutes of watching the video, I knew that I had found my answer.

“The Awakening” opened a complete new way of thinking and being in my life. It helped me connect with that part of me that I always knew was hidden deep inside under all the hurt, masks, and troubles of just surviving.

Every day I listened to it and learned more and more. Little by little I got rid of all those negatives; the martyrdom, anger, and feelings of not being good enough (to name but a few). I embraced true love of myself. I suddenly enjoyed being alone, and that was a whole new experience for me.

I met Larry Wayne and discovered a loving and compassionate person, with a rich knowledge of spiritual wisdom that is beyond anyone I have ever met. His encouragement and gentle counseling led me closer to enlightenment. Suddenly I am reaching goals with my music and new opportunities are opening up.

My biggest test came to me when I recently went to visit my family who all live in a different country. Most of my negative needs were adopted in my childhood. From the moment I met my parents at the airport, I felt nothing but love. My relationship with my siblings seemed to be on a completely new level. Things that I perceived in the past as rejection, I suddenly saw as deep love.

When the negatives I grew up with manifested, I was able to be emotionally detached to the point where some of my family members asked me how I did it. Some of them commented on the glow I have and the charismatic energy around me.

Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist

The day I flew back I had the privilege to spend two precious hours with my elderly aunt at the airport. Deep thoughts were shared and her parting words to me were, “Whenever I go through a difficult time, I ask myself how Marina would handle this?” This was the biggest reward I could ever have imagined.

403-356-0006

My message is that there is a way to a better life, and Larry Wayne is my teacher guiding me to my better life.

Freedom

By Sarah Salter-Kelly As I explore the essence of freedom I ponder its conventional definition; our right to choose, democracy, justice, liberty, and the foundational basis of our Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Yet are we truly free?

How many of us awaken thrilled to be alive and face the day, in awe of the miracle of life that we are a part of? Do you?

Instead many feel bound by jobs, family, and obligations; believing there's a limit to the capacity in which one may know freedom, stuck in circumstances or relationships that do not nurture spirit. If each of us were willing to re-examine our definition of freedom we would see we need to feel it inside, to know it outside.

Freedom is personal and universal, rooted in our consciousness, connected to our perspective and willingness to claim our power. We are responsible for our own freedom.

Freedom is our beliefs, our thought process.

Freedom is how we see ourselves in relationship to the people and experiences we've had in our lives. Freedom is willingness to forgive, moving from ego to heart…cultivating peace, and taking risks to create the job or lifestyle we dream of. Those are the only prerequisites needed. Sounds easy, doesn't it?

Yet these are the hardest bridges for many to cross. Perhaps it's the letting go of the familiar; we assume that what we have right now is ‘good enough,’ even when it does not bring joy.

Unworthiness, self loathing, lack of confidence all influence our beliefs in whether or not we deserve freedom. And many simply have never learned the tools. Freedom's foundation is knowing that no wound or issue is so great that one must suffer for this lifetime. Nothing negates our access to freedom, aside from ourselves. I recall being told that I would have to just bear the pain of my mother’s murder for the rest of my life. I chose not to believe that, and in turn I learned how to face and heal my deepest pain.

Be accountable for what is in need of healing in your life; someone you have wronged, or has wronged you, a job you don't like, your marriage, or family members you avoid dealing with. These issues cause binding with literal restraint. You are the only one who may remove the shackles.

Listen to the part within that is crying out for change. IMAGINE what it would be like to FEEL free. Be aware of your breath and breathe a sense of peace into your body…Close your eyes and see yourself supported by Creator…Everything in your life healed, all changes you desire ARE…Your mind does not need to know how you got there….Allow yourself to time feel this…Now ask your higher self what do you need to heal first. Trust the first answer you receive, stay in your heart, remember that it may not be rational. And nothing is too small…

By Lorraine Johannson, Cht Time passes and things change. My brand new car is now 4 years old, scratched, has a crack in the windshield and no longer has that new car smell. On a day that feels like yesterday, my wonderful son was born, that day was 21 years ago.

Only yesterday I was starting a new career as a technician in medical research and somehow, someway, that yesterday was 1991. The growth from this past career helped me to begin the transition to the job of my dreams which is my own business practicing hypnotherapy in the field of mind/body healing. Some change is wonderful, some change is difficult and most change is hard. It is how we think about change that makes it hard and allows it to rock our foundations.

How can I think about the changes in my life in a different way to put all of them into a healthier perspective? I love my car. I love the time I have spent behind the wheel. Every scratch, every dent, every kilometer has a story and an adventure to celebrate. My son is the most

amazing young man that I know. He is 6 feet tall, confident, kind and full of joy. His presence in my life is a gift to celebrate.

Changing our minds on how we look at events or things in our lives can make a big difference on our health and our peace of mind. We can lament over the wear and tear on cars or how our children grow so tall so fast.

Hypnotherapy is all about changing our minds.

With hypnosis or deep relaxation we can open ourselves to our subconscious minds to hear our own words about simply changing our minds.

Our conscious minds can get caught up in stress over things in our lives that we can choose to celebrate instead.

I am overjoyed with the opportunity to guide people to celebrate their lives and allow themselves to choose. With hypnotherapy we can go through a 90 minute session together that is all about you and how you want to think differently about anything. Changing your mind will go a long way to assist you in improving your physical and emotional states of health.

Come to Massage Above All, give hypnotherapy a try and maybe, just maybe, you will change your mind.

Lorraine Johannson is a dedicated and passionate registered hypnotherapist looking to guide people to reduce their stress and live calm, peaceful lives.

Resurrecting Mary Magdelene

By Dr. Lisa Vaselenak Chater And to you O Magdel-eder Watchtower of the Flock Stronghold of the Daughters of Sion Unto you shall the former dominion be restored Micah 4: 8-11 Her name, Magdelene, means watchtower, and as predicted long ago in the Old Testament, Mary Magdelene’s identity is being restored. When I first began creating the collage on the cover, I did not know I would be among the growing wave of artists, writers, mediums and researchers participating in what some call her “resurrection.”

Gravitating toward a piece of paper the color of the halos of spiritual teachers, I had no idea of the vision that would unfold upon it.

Attracted to a beautiful image of Kwan Yin painted by Jayna Simpson, I placed it on the golden paper, gazing at the goddess for some time. Plucking out fragments of paper, my hands fashioned an ethereal veil for Kwan Yin, her figure floating in an otherworldly temple. Mother

Mary and the Hindu goddess, Lalita, joined her, forming a holy trinity of goddesses hovering over a figure I initially thought was Eve. As the vision continued to unfold, a red veil and the alabaster jar used to hold the perfume she anointed Jesus with all began to tell another story. The triune goddess was actually presiding over the healing of the story of Mary Magdelene. To the right, a shrouded figure was being purified with healing waters, seeming to represent whoever wrongfully portrayed Magdelene in the Bible as a sinful, emotionally disturbed woman.

The work of both biblical scholars and spiritual mediums is now revealing that Magdelene was not only the disciple Jesus showed the most affection toward – “his beloved” - but she was also his most apt student, whom he delighted in. Sharing his most mystical teachings with her in visions, he commissioned her as a messenger, but The Gospel of Mary reveals how her attempts to share these teachings with the others were met with hostility, particularly by Peter, who scorned both women as teachers, as well as intuitive knowledge. In fact, in all of the Gnostic texts excluded from the Bible there are examples of Magdelene’s spiritual knowledge and intuitive gifts being met with jealousy and skepticism. Could this be why these texts were excluded from the Bible and her voice and story almost silenced forever?

The new picture of Mary Magdelene being painted reveals that she is, as prophesied, a stronghold, or a spiritual pillar of support for anyone seeking to share their spiritual gifts in challenging circumstances. Attuning to Magdelene’s presence, we can be strengthened, blessed, and guided by the flame of her courage in the face of opposition, her passion for spiritual teachings, and her continuing devotion, even in exile. Visiting the plane of consciousness where the goddesses reside, we can attune to any goddess or god we feel attracted to. When we chant their sacred names, and contemplate (or create) sacred images with intense devotion, they come alive and we may find ourselves receiving visionary teachings to help usher in a new spiritual era.

This article is dedicated as an offering at the lotus feet of Sri Swami Viswamatha, the Mother of the Universe, and to all of the masters who have introduced me to the Divine Feminine in Her various forms.

Crystal Sonic Rejuvenation™ A holistic facial treatment that restores balance to the body, mind, and spirit

By Maya Bringas mask.

Crystal Sonic Rejuvenation™ is a non-invasive, painless, holistic alternative to cosmetic surgery and botox. It is a rejuvenating technique which incorporates acupressure, crystals and sound therapy resulting in an energy face lift that assists in reducing the signs of aging.

Crystals, which are used in items such as watches, memory chips in computers, and lasers for microscopic surgery are able to transmit and intensify energies. Different crystals have various healing properties and assist in clearing blocked energies in the body. Similarly, pure sound assists in releasing blocked energies and also sends positive vibrations to our cells.

Many meridians (energy pathways within the body) begin or end in the face. These meridians have energy points called acupressure points.

Sometimes when we become stressed, worried, ill, or have poor eating habits the meridians and the energy moving within them may become blocked. Our face can reflect this and may show up as clogged pores, premature aging, and dehydration to name a few things.

During a Crystal Sonic Rejuvenation™ session, the acupressure points on the face are gently pressed using a crystal tool and further stimulated with sound. The face is also soothingly massaged with gemstones. The vibrations and sound that pass through the crystal to the acupressure points assist in unblocking the meridians. When the meridians are clear and open the energy within them has a free, balanced flow; the organs, tissues and cells are nourished helping to detoxify and balance the body. The result is an improvement in circulation, relaxation of the facial muscles, improvement in skin tone, as well as diminishing wrinkles, lines, bags and a more youthful appearance to the face. During the last part of the session small crystals are placed on the face and neck providing a crystal facial

This rejuvenating treatment is not only beneficial for the face, but because it is holistic it works at all levels (body, mind, and spirit) leaving one feeling more relaxed, refreshed and revitalized.

Everyone’s body is different with some seeing results after one treatment, but typically results are seen after 3-6 treatments. A series of six treatments is recommended with periodic maintenance sessions afterwards.

Some of the benefits of Crystal Sonic Rejuvenation™ • Helps diminish fine lines and wrinkles • Helps improve metabolism, firm and tone skin, improve facial colour • Helps reduce bags, double chin, and sagging • Helps tighten pores and increase circulation • Improves acne • Helps with headaches and dizziness • Improves sleep • Helps with self-esteem • Relaxation • Help with sinus congestion • Helps reduce puffiness • Helps reduce aches and pains Crystal Sonic Rejuvenation™ can also be done as a hand or foot treatment.

SPIRIT

A Little Boost for Immortality

By Deepak Chopra As we all grow older, the span of mortality left to us becomes smaller and smaller. This shrinkage naturally makes us think about immortality. The possibility of surviving death lies at the heart of almost every religion, yet it would be comforting if factual evidence existed, not simply the reassurance of spiritual guides. I was so deeply affected by my father’s death a few years ago that I wrote an entire book to consider if life after death can be proved. I emerged from that project with a good deal of comfort and reassurance. And all of it was rationally based.

I won’t repeat the many arguments in favor of the afterlife (the book is called Life After Death if you are deeply interested).

Most people have heard about near-death experiences. There are the scoffers who reject such experiences. It’s hard to get believers and skeptics to agree even on basic points; so wide is the gap between the two camps. But gradually science has had to confront the possibility of immortality — not yet for the soul but for the basic fabric of the universe.

It’s a given in physics that matter and energy cannot be created or destroyed. In recent years theorists have extended this notion to information. We began to hear about information fields that are as basic to the cosmos as energy fields.

Why? Because as simple molecules grew into more complex ones, they kept moving into even greater complexity. You’d think that once it reached thousands of individual atoms, an organic chemical would break apart instead of building itself into an even more complex molecule. Yet life has evolved inexorably. Blue-green algae, a very primitive life form, still exists but it no longer rules the scene. Without wiping out the lower forms of life, evolution kept adding on.

Some kind of invisible glue is at work, and for the moment, information is favored as that glue.

If the information invisibly holding a molecule together has its own integrity, then striving for a creation like human DNA with its three billion individual codons, seems more plausible. It’s like having a vocabulary that you build on. The ten-

SPIRIT dency is to add more words, not to randomly lose the early ones as you go. Just as you may have to remind yourself of old words, nature reminds itself of earlier life forms, which is what happens in the womb as a human fetus develops from a single fertilized ovum, passing through stages that repeat the biology of fish, reptiles, lower mammals, and so forth on its journey to being fully human. Ultimately, nothing valuable is forgotten.

The bald fact is that DNA exists, whether or not a theory can explain it. Another bald fact is that every person is already a field of information containing trillions of data, each one related to an experience. As billions of pieces of raw data bombard our senses every day, the information field shifts, changes, and grows. No mechanical notion of randomness makes sense here. What we observe in ourselves is that information has a life of its own.

Some scientists believe that information can only be transformed; it cannot be created or destroyed. That sounds convincing for molecules, but the implications for human immortality are also striking. It’s too easy to palm off the afterlife as something incidental to human comfort, a way of not being frightened by death or a primitive reaction to the unknown. Atheists and skeptics, who are astonishingly glib as a group, constantly fall back on the primitiveness of sacred beliefs, disregarding that they are talking to people who are not primitive, afraid, or myth mongers. (Some believers, in fact, are quite a bit less primitive than the usual run of atheists and skeptics.)

Let’s say that we stop condescending to sacred belief and take it seriously. Then we find that reincarnation, for example, fits rather well with the idea of constantly transforming information.

The soul fits rather well into the notion that information can organize itself into a coherent, contained structure, the way DNA organizes billions of chemical bits into a coherent, contained structure. I’m not saying that information is enough to explain the soul. We must account for consciousness, too. It’s very nice if my memories survive my demise the way a computer’s hard drive survives when the machine is turned off.

But what we really want is that “I,” the self, survives.

I think that wish, basic as it is, blocks our vision.

This limited self that is encased in a physical body stands for much more — it stands for consciousness as a whole. No one contains all the possibilities of the mind, which are infinite. Yet the field of consciousness, like the field of infor-

mation, does contain the whole. That’s how a field works. The electromagnetic field contains all the electromagnetic energy in the universe, even though a compass or an electric toaster manifests only the tiniest fraction of the field.

Immortality got a boost when science realized that fields are the source of everything that exists, and since a field isn’t solid, visible, perceived by the senses, or contained by a single brain, the whole solid, visible world was called into question. In short, the immortal came first in nature, the mortal came second. All change must be explained against the background of non-change. Immortality is just a synonym for wholeness. I know that sounds very abstract, and we haven’t even touched on the details of relating advanced physics to consciousness.

But at least we can keep an open mind about immortality without dividing into outworn camps of religionists versus scientists. By recognizing that the really big things like mind, consciousness, the origin of life, and the birth of the cosmos remain very open questions, we won’t fall into the simplistic close-mindedness that scoffs at immortality. The scoffers should be running for cover, because science is undermining them more and more every day.

Whatâ&#x20AC;&#x2122;s Above With Clairvoyant Kim

Dear Kim, You have often talked about our loved ones always being close to us after they have crossed over and for the most part, that is comforting. I have a question about the people who you did not love here on earth. I have never had a close relationship with my mother-in-law; in fact it has been a very hard relationship. I try to keep it pleasant for my husband and daughter, but I would not take comfort in knowing that, after she passes she would be walking close with me. Does a person need to accept that they are near, whether we want them to be or not? ~ Karen M., Calgary, Alberta ~ Great question! When "we" cross over, we only change form, we really do not go anywhere, we operate at a vibration that the physical eyes cannot see. So, she cannot be separate from you or your family. The great news is that we all heal in every way; mentally, emotionally and physically when we let go of our physical bodies. We learn from our mistakes that are made in the physical life. When your mother-in-law passes, I can assure you that she will only come to you with love and compassion. The knowledge that she will be able to watch over your husband and your daughter should help you to be at ease with the knowledge that she is close by. Think of her as a "guardian" to the people that mean the most to you here on earth.

Since my grandmother passed 3 years ago, she has visited me several times in my dreams. I have spoken to a couple of intuitives who told me that my grandmother wants to talk to me, but they have never enlightened me as to what my grandmother wants to say to me. Do you have any thoughts on this? ~ Jenny M., Leduc, Alberta ~ It is so wonderful that you are receiving visits from your grandmother. You must have meant a lot to her. I really believe that if Grandma can visit you in your dreams, she would give you a message if she needed to. Many times, they want us simply to know that they are still "here", still very close and that they are really not as gone as we may feel sometimes. I really do not think that you are missing anything, Grandma wants you to know that she is ever close by. What a lovely gift.

SPIRIT I lost a close friend a few months ago in a horrible accident. I really believe that I feel him close by when I am quiet with my thoughts. I often feel a pull or tug to go sit on a couch in my basement that we used to sit on have long chats. Is this really him? ~ Shannon I., Edmonton, Alberta I am so very sorry to hear of the loss of your good friend. I have no doubt at all that you are feeling him close. He is trying to show you that he is not really gone. Loved ones often visit us a lot when they first cross, as that is when our grief is the heaviest and we need the reassurance the most that they are still with us. It makes perfect sense that you would be drawn to the place where you used to visit in this world to visit with him in his world. Any time you have a moment where you stop and think of him...it’s him.....making a connection with you.

A newly emerging approach could change conventional understanding of health and healing.

Focusing on experiments that quantify the effects of energy, light and information on human beings, world-renowned scientists William Tiller, Ph.D., and Gary Schwartz, Ph.D., are studying the Reconnective Healing frequencies first discovered by Eric Pearl, a doctor of chiropractic.

Tiller, professor emeritus at Stanford University, author of books and scientific papers and a lead presenter in the film, What the Bleep!?, has been conducting research on how the physical properties of a room change as a result of energy healing frequencies that enter it.

Additional research by Schwartz and his colleagues at the Laboratory for Advances in Consciousness and Health at the University of Arizona has focused on monitoring attendees of two Reconnective Healing seminars hosted by members of the Reconnective Association. The researchers determined that the more than 90 people who participated in their study all walked out of the session with expanded and new electromagnetic abilities, even if they had never studied any of the various energy healing techniques known today.

According to Tiller, “This shift of energy is what allows normal human beings to enter a room and later to walk out with an ability to heal others and themselves, regardless of their background or education.”

Feng Shui: Your Lucky Ally

By Janelle HarrisBorm Are you lucky? The Chinese are firm believers in the concept of luck, dividing it into three categories: heavenly luck, human luck, and earthly luck. Each contributes equally to your overall success in life.

Understanding each luck is crucial to harnessing your life’s full potential. Heavenly luck lets you change your destiny through prayers and meditation, and human luck is about self-improvement and living compassionately. Of all three lucks, earth luck is the easiest to shift by shaping your environment with the time-proven principles of Feng Shui. Make your environment your ally and enhance your success by putting your house, workspace, and desk to work for you. If you do not, you are missing out on a whopping 33% of your luck! Instead, create a quantum shift by aligning the inner subconscious realm with the outer, physical space.

Feng shui is one tool you definitely want in your toolbox to have all three lucks working in your favour. Imagine having a tool to allow your environment to manifest your aspirations! Start today, as the Persians say, “Go and wake up your luck”.

RELATIONSHIPS AND SEXUALITY

Where Is The Joy?

By Juey Ann McLeod My husband seems to have changed, since he stopped talking to his mother after she tried to lay blame on him for his father’s death. He knows he is not responsible but he has even withdrawn sexually and that is not like him – what can I do?

For someone who is sexually active to totally withdraw is a sure sign that he has closed down emotionally. Many people do not realize that we can’t close down just the feelings of guilt, anger, and sorrow without closing down our whole feelings including happiness, desire, and joy.

www.thevioletray.ca

feelings in the moment and allowing how you feel into your voice is a great thing. Often couples let things build by not expressing them, then they blow like a volcano. This is a very harmful technique! The ‘guilty’ person or the one who did something little to cause the ‘blowup’ is totally unaware of the many built-up feelings – in fact usually can‘t remember – therefore feels attacked. Aggressive fighters use sarcasm, blame, putdowns, guilt and/or loud voices.

Passive fighters use dirty looks, silence and do activities that exclude their partner.

Men often withdraw to come up with a solution.

It sounds like his grief at losing his father, and perhaps childhood issues with his mother, have kept his heart so closed that it has interfered with his ability to come out of this.

The Gottman Love Institute studied couples who have kept things to themselves for years.

When something huge happens such as death of a family member or loss of family retirement funds, most often the grieving person seeks someone outside the marriage to talk it out with.

This sets the stage for affairs and divorces.

I would suggest two things: (1) that he get assistance from a professional psychologist or an energy practitioner who has experience with grief and forgiveness, and (2) he forgive his mother for her outburst by understanding that anger is an important step in the five steps of grieving. It comes to me, that she might have been feeling inadequate in some way and could not accept feeling so inadequate. Perhaps she felt she was to blame.

Expressing yourself during times of emotional stress is an art form. It is suggested that when you have been pondering something and wish to discuss it, use a soft opening – that is, explain using a soft voice and ask if the event is remembered. Then express how you felt about the incident. The other important key is to listen to what the other person is saying – repeating what you heard is a way of letting the other person know they are being heard.

My friend and I had a discussion about whether it is right or not, to fight in marriage/relationship.

What are your thoughts on this?

Fighting is a very broad term and depends on your experiences. I think that expressing your

MYTHOLOGY AND RELIGION

Easter: The Rest of the Story

By Susan Cossi

Have you ever wondered why the date of Easter changes each year? It is because this celebratory date is linked to the first Sunday after the full moon following the spring equinox. The roots of this popular celebration are found in a fascinating mix of Paganism, Hebrew and Christian traditions, with links as far back as Ancient Egypt.

In 325 A.D., The Roman Emperor Constantine gathered together a forum of Christian leaders, who travelled from Europe and the Middle East.

They met at Nicea, which is known today as Iznik, Turkey. Here at the council of Nicea, the hand-picked guests negotiated the dates of important Christian events.

Easter holds some interesting lore in its given name: “Eostre” pronounced “East-Ra” is an Anglo Saxon fertility goddess of the growing light of spring and purity and her consort was a very libidinous rabbit. Rabbits and hares were well recognized at this time for fertility.

“Eostre” is also the name of a shining holiday which is connected to the East where the sun rises. This is linked to the famous “Eos” the Greek goddess of the dawn.

“Ostra” is a German Goddess and is honoured during the spring equinox in the northern hemisphere when night and day are balanced and equal.

“Estrus” the definition is an animal or mammal in heat.

Gaia speaks to me. She teaches me about myself through contact with our four-legged, winged, and finned brothers and sisters. She communicates unconditional love through my dogs, cats and horses. She speaks to me of support through rocks, gems and crystals. She tells me of abundance as she provides food and drink to nourish my physical body. She expresses beauty and wisdom in a droplet of water; indeed in all of Her creations. She is exquisitely generous. She is my beloved Grandmother Earth.

Gaia (pronounced /gi/a/) is known as the Greek goddess representing the Earth. She is also known as Mother Nature, Mother Earth and Grandmother Earth. Her womb has been described as the birthing place of all life. Those of the Sweet Medicine SunDance Path honour women on Earth as two-legged manifestations of the receptive, creative energy of Grandmother Earth. It is believed that She teaches each of us; women and men alike, to go inside and draw upon our intuitive place of knowing. (Thunder Strikes, Orsi, Song of the Deer, 1999) Her breath is my breath. Her heartbeat is my heartbeat. Her wisdom is my wisdom. This is my truth. Is it possible that Earth is one big, beautiful ball of energy? Is it also possible that the human, animal, plant, mineral, and elemental worlds are so intricately interconnected that we are truly one?

I am not speaking metaphorically, but in actual form. I invite you to believe in the possibility.

The Gaia hypothesis and Gaia theory present a framework for understanding our connectedness to Grandmother Earth. Simply stated, the Gaia hypothesis views the world as a single organism.

The original hypothesis, formulated in the 1960’s by scientist James Lovelock has since been supported by several scientific studies, therefore it is now correctly referred to as Gaia theory.

(Lovelock, Nature, 1990) One way to connect with this Gaia energy, of which we are part of, is to ground ourselves deeply and safely into our beloved Grandmother Earth.

Her creativity and wisdom are available to you, as your birthright. You simply need to reach out to Her. When people are ungrounded they may be unfocussed; their thoughts may be scattered or random. They may appear hyperactive and may speak very quickly, sometimes louder than usual.

They may experience dizziness. They may also be disengaged from others and forgetful because they are not entirely present for a conversation or event. I believe this occurs when people are not

PHENOMENON fully present in the moment in their physical bodies. Sometimes it is desirable for our spirits to temporarily leave our bodies but when you choose to be fully present, grounding yourself into Gaia is ever so helpful.

Find a quiet moment and create your own grounding meditation by standing or sitting with both your feet flat on the ground. Imagine that you have cords on the bottom of both of your feet and gently push those cords deep into Grandmother Earth’s belly, where all life is created.

Also imagine that there is a similar cord at the base of your spine and send that cord deep into Grandmother Earth. See this connection in your mind’s eye and FEEL it in your body. Then give thanks. As crazy in love as I am with Gaia, I also worship my guides and angels so I call upon them to support me in my own grounding and connecting meditation.

Gaia speaks to me in many, many ways; for that, I am eternally grateful. Stay tuned to learn more about receiving Her messages and connecting to Her wisdom.

Debra J. Suchy is an author, a certified intuitive counsellor and teacher. Deb’s first book, Bellowed Whispers (2009) shares the story of her own spiritual journey using personal anecdotes that illustrate how she found guidance through a variety of spiritual practices and tools. She is currently working on her second book and is an assistant editor with The Violet Ray. As a Reiki Master, she teaches others about Reiki and working with energy. She is also a student of the Sweet Medicine SunDance Path through The Institute of Contemporary Shamanic Studies (ICSS). For more info visit her website at www.joyfulcreating.ca

connected to all life. For children, seeing and talking with our guardian angels, loved ones across the veil, and others are everyday occurrences.

Our true colors are clearly seen by little children as well as animals. If a toddler or pet animal rejects one, they have very good reason for so doing. Being based in a state of LOVE themselves makes communicating with one in a fearbased reality extremely difficult.

So what is it we must do to eliminate the word phenomena from our vocabulary? Call in the "VIOLET RAY" flame of transmutation and transformation. As dear Adamus St. Germain states "This is the highest alchemy of all". So let us all endeavour to move out of third dimensional carbon-based humans back into fifth dimensional crystallized beings of POWER! Phenomena.............no such thing.

Seeds of the Soul

Phenomena or Expanded Consciousness?

Do you want more joy, peace, ease and grace in your life?

By Wendy Gamelin

Offering you an extraordinary healing experience through your “Soul Song”!

The word phenomena has only been around since about 1570 and has come to be generally accepted as meaning "extraordinary occurrence". To anyone dwelling within a state of expanded awareness the term phenomena becomes obsolete. They have remembered and embraced their true authentic Self where nothing is extraordinary, for it is our divine birthright to experience the magic of so-called miracles.

When we are born our brain is whole and undivided. By the age of 4 or thereabouts our brain becomes separated, now becoming left and right hemispheres. Is it any wonder that as little ones we remain in a fully expanded state of oneness,

How to Quickly Release Physical Pain Using Dynamic Spin Release

I recently called my assistant on the phone about something work related, and she told me that Since she liked her gift so much, I asked her to she had just been stung by a bee on the back of reach her hands out in front of her, and visualize her neck. She said she was in a lot of pain, was the lavender floating into her palms. As soon as having a hard time focusing on work, and she the image of the healing flower was in her hands, felt sick to her stomach.

Shift Your Energy, Shift Your Life

By Jane Mueller EFTCert-1, CBS, SHCL Ask any practitioner involved with energy for healing, they will tell you the significance of raising our vibration and most will agree on the important benefits and the desired effect of living at a higher frequency level.

Dr. Greaves, author and medical expert on gemmotherapy (phytotherapy), for regeneration of dying cells discusses the light within each cell of our body, how toxin contamination blocks the ‘sun’ or light, like dark clouds covering the sun, affecting the cell's vibrational health. Fat cells contain toxins and the more (abnormal) fat our body has, the more toxic we likely are and the result may lower our vibration.

If our desired outcome as practitioners is to raise our own frequency and assist our clients in doing the same, then it appears that we would be wise to live in a body that has fewer abnormal fat cells.

Decades ago, Dr. Simeons researched how to eliminate only abnormal fat cells from the body using human chorionic gonadotropin (HCG) hormone with a specific diet protocol. His program resulted in rapid and safe reduction of excess weight, re-setting the metabolism and leaving alone the healthy normal fat reserves our body needs. Significant health benefits resulted.

Though his research had nothing to do with the vibration of abnormal fat cells, I would think that a healthier body functioning close to its ideal weight would vibrate at a higher frequency level. Can diet alone do this?

A recent research study by Dr. P. Stapleton's team at the School of Medicine in Griffith University, Australia, showed EFT sharply reduced food cravings. These researchers studied ninety-six overweight or obese adults, and followed up with the research 12 months later on the same subjects.

They found the intensity of food cravings and attraction of the food on the subjects, remained significantly improved at the end of one year in those who had been practicing EFT, demonstrating the holding power of this technique. Also the Body Mass Index (BMI), the measure of the body's storage of fat was significantly reduced in those practicing EFT at the end of one year. This is a highly desirable outcome.

Researcher suggests that EFT contributes to the ability of weight loss/dieting programs to assist people to reduce food cravings and therefore lose weight.

Experts Louise Hay, Dr. Bruce Lipton, Deepak Chopra M.D. and others recognize the energetic connection thoughts and emotions have physically. How do we release our issues from our tissues? Emotional Freedom Techniques TM (EFT), a form of energy psychology using meridian points states, “The cause of all negative emotion is a disruption in the body's energy system.” This is not a new idea to the Chinese.

Reconnective Healing

By Marlayne Robinson, RMT Reconnective Healing is a broadband frequency of light, information and energy. It is healing for all living beings.

Dr. Eric Pearl, the founder of Reconnective Healing says in his book, The Reconnection; Heal Others, Heal Yourself, “We all come into this existence with limitations. As history would have it, humanity, as a whole was long ago disconnected from the energy lines that attune to our own bodies, to the energy fields of those around us, to the ley lines of our planet, and from there to the energy grid of the whole universe.” This disconnection has enabled us to embrace disruption and illness of all kinds; mental, emotional, physical and spiritual. Since all living beings have experienced this same disconnection; humans, plant and animals may embrace reconnection and experience healing and evolution by receiving Reconnective Healing.

Reconnective Healing is a gentle, non-invasive process. There is no physical connection between practitioner and client. As a practition-

METAPHYSICAL ASSISTANT

er, my role is to facilitate the healing, to step back and remove myself from the process, allowing the healing between client and the Universe to occur.

My passion lies in healing with animals. Their simple acceptance of the healing is a humbling experience. Always they greet me with wideeyed wonder and the knowing that whatever occurs during the session will benefit them greatly. Quickly after the session begins, they acknowledge the frequency and slip into a state of what we refer to as 'register'. Here, they let the healing between them and the Universe flow.

The healing happens in a simple and gentle way that is accepted and loved by the animals. At home, I move my hand in the manner of Reconnective Healing and my cat comes running, laying quietly in front of me, absorbing all that I facilitate. When he has had enough he gets up, has a drink of water and moves on to his next kitty adventure.

I invite you to experience the power of Reconnective Healing. Sometimes a dramatic result occurs quickly and sometimes it takes a little while for the body to process. Always, my clients see the shift, feel the healing, and know the power of the process of the Reconnective Healing frequency.

SOUL IMPRINTS

By Carol Jay Uchytil

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 several 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“I just received the Soul Imprints ...they are STUNNING!! They look so much like my friends. The descriptions are very cool too, quite accurate, but I am blown away by the images. Thank you so much!

I am very happy to have such a beautiful and unique gift for two very special friends.” - M.W.-
