Soul Script Welcome to the Summer Issue of The Violet Ray – Natural Health and Conscious Living Digest!

Thank you for the wonderful, positive feedback on our new format! We like it too.

For those of you reading this for the first time The Violet Ray is your educational resource to connect with professionals by propelling those seeking natural health, metaphysical guidance, complementary and alternative therapies in the conscious living communities.

We have some fantastic articles in this issue including: Manifesting a Life of Peace by Almine, How Much Fluoride is too Much Fluoride by Debra J. Suchy, Become SelfEmpowered in Healing by Adam DreamHealer and Making the Shift by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer.

The lineup for presentations and workshops in Alberta this summer is outstanding! First we have Opportunity to Grow presenting an event by Dr. Wayne W. Dyer called “The Shift – Moving from Ambition to Meaning” on May 17th at the Jubilee Auditorium in Calgary. Then we have a workshop by Adam DreamHealer on June 5th at the Telus Convention Centre in Calgary. Lastly, we have Almine conducting a 3-day workshop from June 30 to July 2 in Red Deer.

I hope you take the opportunity to nourish your soul this summer!

With all the turmoil and natural disasters occurring around the world I have prepared an emergency awareness article on page 39 titled How Prepared Are You?. Having worked in the Fire Truck Manufacturing Industry for 13 years and volunteering for 3 years with the RCMP Victim Service unit I know firsthand that sometimes things happen that is beyond our control. As a daughter, caregiver, light worker, and business person in service to my community I felt this information was important to share with

you at this time. Do you know what to do if a natural disaster occurs? Do you know how you can safe guard your loved ones? What if your neighbors need your help? Are you able to step in and help when those around you need you the most? Is it time for you to take a refresher first aide course? These are all very good questions to ponder of which the answers lie solely within you.

If you are seeking a practitioner, product, retreat or workshop that has not been advertised in print please visit our website at www.thevioletray.ca .

Thank you for the opportunity to serve our community of readers and practitioners by providing a forum that cultivates positive growth and helps each of us transcend to a level of greater knowledge, acceptance and health! Our gratitude also goes out to our contributors and advertisers for your support in make publishing this digest possible.

Wishing all of you an awesome summer!

FLOWER OF LIFE

BY ROB NICHOLLS B.F.A. Words from the Artist: Some believe that the Flower of Life is the blueprint for all creation in the material universe.

Since being a small child Rob was interested in creating things with his hands and learned a lot by copying comic books and stars wars imagery. He is a graduate in fine art oil painting from the Alberta College of Art and Design in Calgary. Most of his art

tends to be influenced by his spirituality, interests in various cultures and his travels to exotic lands such as Egypt, the middle east, India and Nepal. Seeing the old masters in the museums of Europe have also been inspiring and humbling to him.

Rob’s studies in Qabalah, Tarot, Tibetan Buddhism, Jungian psychology, and esoteric Freemasonry are part of his artistic process. He typically uses oil paints as his medium but both photography, computers and various music styles have played their part as well. When not working on his art he is a popular Ashtanga yoga instructor in the Calgary area. To see more of Rob’s work please visit www.nichollsart.com

My Honey is Home

By Pete Swales It feels so good to be back. It wasn’t a hard decision to not have my last article ready for the winter issue of the Violet Ray. A time of crisis appeared in our lives and when that happens my focus becomes strong and clear. It was almost nine years to the day when my beautiful bride had been last diagnosed with breast cancer. A battle she fought with conviction and strength. I had even begun to believe that, as the ninth anniversary approached, it was a battle won.

And then the phone call, the renewed tears, a fear that struck the depths of my guts and a realization that battles are often fought time and time again. That like a war, cancer needs to be fought on many different fronts. This is where happenstance, coincidence or whatever we may call this journey of life came together. I have had opportunities to meet amazing and gifted healers, and now the why is very clear to me. As I sit here writing this article, I am feeling so humbled that through my work a group of very special caring and gifted healers stepped in and stepped up. Each therapist offered their expertise through an expression of love. I would like to take this opportunity to extend my love to our family: Sacha Warder with her healing touch of Reiki, Marlayne Robinson with her gift of Reconnective Healing and her strong conviction to meditation, Dr. Topstad, whose surgical skills are only equalled by her incredible compassionate nature, Jen Friars, RMT, who utilized her skill in the art of breaking down post surgical scar tissue and assist in post surgical range of motion, and the other members of the team who picked up and took care of the workload that I had left behind so that my only concern was my

wife, Crystal. Thank you also to many special friends and clients who held a space of healing in their hearts.

And now as Crystal begins her journey of healing I am recognizing how important following dreams, purpose and passion are in all avenues of life. As the founder of My Body Whisperer, It has always been my dream to bring together holistic practitioners and create so much value for clients, patients and practitioners alike that this becomes a mainstream focus for health.

Synergy or the coming together is the answer, not competition.

And speaking of together, my honey is home, the fireplace is burning. Good night, for now.

BODY

Lymph Drainage Therapy

By Donna Pierson, RMT The lymphatic system in our body is a system of vessels that collect fluids, proteins, toxins and debris from body tissue, filters it through lymph nodes, and returns it to the heart. Lymph nodes produce immune cells which destroy foreign or unwanted substances that are then eliminated through digestive and urinary tracts, skin and lungs. It is closely connected with the immune system.

As there is no pump in this system, it works through contraction of tiny muscles connected to the vessels, and more passively, through action of other muscles in the body. It can also be stimulated with external pressure as in Lymph Drainage Therapy, water pressure during swimming, or compression bandages.

Lymph Drainage Therapy (LDT) is a gentle, non-invasive touch that activates fluid circulation, detoxifies, and stimulates the immune system which can help with chronic inflammations and auto-immune diseases. It stimulates the parasympathetic system which helps deal with stress, depression and sleeping disorders. LDT helps reduce pain and muscle spasms, promotes healing from injuries and surgeries, and can also be effective in dealing with sinus and bronchial congestion.

After a session, one may feel very relaxed, refreshed or energized. Uncomfortable feelings may result from the body detoxifying, and there may be an emotional release. Whether you are looking to alleviate symptoms or as preventative maintenance, Lymph Drainage Therapy is a step on the road to better health.

Donna Pierson is an RMT and reflexologist who specializes in Lymph Drainage Therapy. Donna is co-owner of Mainstreet Muscle Therapy in Blackfalds. If you would like to know more about LDT, please give her a call at 403-885-0311.

RELATIONSHIPS AND SEXUALITY

Where Is The Joy?

By Juey Ann McLeod “I have read about your work on sexual relationships - many are examples of what is sometimes wrong in relationships. However, I am interested to hear your definition or description of a wonderful, unique, loving, joyful ideally perfect relationship please. I am questioning what a true beautiful relationship is best described as.”

Thank you for the most challenging question I have had yet to answer. This has taken some thought to put into words.

I have always liked this idea from Chuck Spezzano, co-founder of Psychology of Vision.

To me, it explains what a relationship that is working really looks like, that is a co-creative relationship that shows the natural traits of men and women “An ideal relationship is one in which the man provides a safe and loving environment that allows the woman to open and flower. This brings her intuition into power and she shares her intuitive wisdom with her male partner. He takes the ideas and makes them a reality.”

Kathlyn & Gay Hendricks’ work also shows the honor and admiration that feed partnership.

They teach, “Love is the dance of two open spaces who celebrate each other. True love only exists between equals.” This is much easier to achieve if the partners are well matched. As everyone is unique, there are no general perfect partner criteria. Let me list some of the important ingredients. ♥ Partners that are attracted to each other physically, that is they have sexual spark. ♥ They share one or more of their top “Love Languages.” ♥ Both find it easy to express their feelings and have excellent communication skills. ♥ They are conscious, aware and present with each other.

When You Are Finished Reading This Digest Please Recycle It Or Pass It On To A Friend!

♥ Both are interested in nurturing the relationship by investing time and energy from a responsible and accountable place. ♥ They enjoy each other as friends, enjoy each other’s humor, and are very accepting of each other. ♥ They share some common interests as well as having individual interests, a balance of time together and time apart. ♥ They have similar goals in life and compatible morals, ethics and beliefs. ♥ Mutually committed, trusting, attentive, willing and interested in the creativity that it takes to keep the romance alive. ♥ Both accept that they are each independent and dependent at different times and keep the balance.

One of my favorite teachers, Peggy Merlin said to me “Relationship is a workshop where you learn and grow". As long as both are open to growing the sky is the limit.

As the saying goes, “Beauty is in the eye of the beholder.” Trust your heart when it feels right.

Knowing that relationships are like a dance and from time to time the tempo may change.

MIND

Acceptance of You

By Sacha Warder, RMT I have struggled my whole life with feeling okay with just truly being me. Will people like me? Is this the way I am supposed to be or act? Sound familiar to anyone? I have pulled away from people so they would not see parts of me that I assumed were not desirable. In doing so I actually isolated myself from people. I never let anyone in. I have really learned in the last while to truly love myself and accept all aspects of who I am. I have learned to share all sides of myself with people. How has my experience helped me open up? I received love and acceptance from others because I chose to truly accept myself first. Moving through these feelings is what actually inspired me to become a Body Whisperer.

Acceptance is a huge way that we find love, nurturing, trust and closeness within each other. I know I always like to think I am right but obviously that is just not true. Besides are there really so many rights and wrongs; or simply other perspectives, different ways of doing things, and different outcomes? How annoying it would be

DETOXIFY & REJUVENATE YOUR BODY

if everyone was just like me, made all the same decisions, and processed thoughts in the same way. The beauty in all of us lies in our differences from one another. It is what allows our world to move forward. It is our source of discovery and creativity. We all have our own journeys and paths in life. There is a bigger picture, we just don’t always see it. I have decided to focus on happiness instead of keeping a tally of right and wrong.

So next time you walk past a mirror, stop and look at yourself. Truly see you for who you are.

Embrace yourself. Love yourself. Know you’re human and that we are made imperfect and are designed to make mistakes. It is part of our growth and learning process. Accept this in yourself and watch how it reflects back on the world and allows you to see with acceptance, love and understanding.

To experience My Body Whispering or a Reiki session with me, come find me at Massage Above All. I would be honored to be part of your journey.

Ask Dr. Evers - The Affirmation Doctor

By Dr. Anne Marie Evers Dear Dr. Evers, I need your help desperately. I failed my first insurance exam and now I am writing it again. I am very nervous and worried. Do you have some creative ideas to help me? I need to get my career going. Thanking you in advance, - Irma W. Vancouver, BC Dear Irma, Thank you for your email. I would suggest at first that use the affirmation tool, ‘Cancel, cancel,’ or ‘Delete, delete,’ to your negative, worried thoughts. Then immediately fill that spot with a positive statement, such as. “I am calm, happy and relaxed.” Another affirmation tool is the CLEAR, SEARCH & RETRIEVE Method. Find a quiet place to sit, clear your mind of all worries, negative thoughts, etc. 1. Say to your subconscious mind, “Clear!” See your mind becoming clear. 2. Say “Search.” See in your mind’s eye you searching through the filing cabinets of your mind. Now you locate the file that says, ‘Answers for my insurance exam.’ 3. Say “Retrieve,” loud and clear. In your mind’s eye see yourself retrieving that file, copying the answers and placing them in your mind where you can easily access them when you are taking your exam.

Dr. Evers Testimonial

Retrieve affirmation tool with me. I could really relate to it. I was facing writing an exam for my career and was very concerned. I have to say that I studied very hard and when I wrote my exam, I was very calm as I knew I had studied and that I had my fabulous Clear, Search & Retrieve affirmation tool. At exam time I felt very calm and relaxed. That tool worked beautifully, even to the point where it kind of scared me as I was finished way before the others and then I wondered if I had missed something. I used your “Cancel, cancel,”’ tool saying, “I pass my exam with good marks.” OUTCOME: I passed with high marks!

Keep on teaching these simple, yet very powerful affirmation tools. They are awesome and they really work!

SACRED KNOWLEDGE / SHAMANISM

Manifesting a Life of Peace

By Almine “The destiny of humanity is to bring peace to the great diversity of life forms on Earth. The establishing of a safe and happy home on Earth for all creatures, begins by creating peace within the Inner Family: the sub-personalities of man.” ~ Almine The most successful components of tribalism have been their stability and predictability. But this has come at a cost: lack of growth and danger of stagnation. The stable patterns of the relationships within the tribe depend on everyone playing their role. The tribe is therefore based on dependency.

Dependency is the most elemental form of social development: the dependence of the chick on the boundaries of the egg – both the chick and the egg depending for their existence on one another. The mother and infant are a closely bonded tribe, neither straying too far from one another. The contentment within this stage is deep and so is the scarring to the psyche if a premature disruption occurs.

Eventually life pressures the tribe to evolve further. But because of the contentment, tribal members resist and forced, painful prodding is eventually needed to birth life to the next level.

Our sub-personalities are our inner tribe: the Inner Child, Inner Elder or Sage, the Inner Nurturer and Inner Warrior. Tribal social structures have mimicked these inner relationships.

The center of the tribe consists of the Children.

Around them, like a protective circle, are the Elders. They guide and listen to the Children and report to the Nurturers if something is wrong. Around the Elders are the Nurturers who care for them and the Children. The outer ring consists of the Warriors who protect the whole tribe from outer and inner hostility or any subversively hostile influences.

The man in the street finds his own tribe: the drinking buddies at the pub, the clubs and cause-driven associations, family units or social groups. The variety is great in tribes that form but all of them have uniformity of some kind in common.

12 | T H E V I O L E T R AY Summer 2011

When diversity enters the tribe, it is threatened and must either repel the new element or embrace diversity within uniformity. This creates a conflict between individuality and tribal control and becomes co-dependence. The twoyear old enters this stage in which parents attempt to control his behavior and he or she tries to thwart their control.

The spiritual seeker who evolves into this stage, questions established religion’s teachings and authority. The stage beyond this complete independence can create a shunning of all spirituality and a materialistic, egocentric approach to life. It is for this reason that teenagers can appear to consider no one but themselves.

The more conscious person evolves into interdependency – unity within diversity. During this stage there is cooperation with others on mutually agreed projects (such as raising children together) while individuality is supported and encouraged.

The inner family must also evolve through these stages in order to form an integrated, dynamically balanced human being. One of the biggest pitfalls in interacting with others is the possible occurrence of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde syndrome: the unintegrated sub-personalities can cause a split in the personality and the pleasant person can change into an irrational and hostile one.

How to balance the sub-personalities: Firstly, get to know the sub-personality that is expressing and find the ones that are not. If we have been used to others telling us what is holy or channeling our guidance, our Inner Sage may be dormant. Resist the temptation of allowing others to tell you how to live and allow time for still communion with the all-knowing depths of your being.

If programmed beliefs have told you that a ‘holy’ life is to serve others at the expense of yourself, your Nurturer needs to be resurrected. Begin with small acts of self-nurturing or have your Warrior establish, in small ways at first, your healthy boundaries.

SACRED KNOWLEDGE / SHAMANISM Secondly, gauge the degree of evolution you have achieved by observing the interaction of your sub-personalities.

1. Dependency: this stage produces defense mechanisms to shield the Inner Child. It may for instance, pacify a belligerent person in order not to get ‘hurt.’ It will try and fit in with the tribe.

2. Co-dependency: this stage is marked by control. Most relationships are co-dependent – the reason that most end badly. Co-dependent behavior is based on a triangle. Leg one consists of “I give all that I can.” Leg two says, “Because I give so much, I get to control you.” Leg three is outraged and angry when the person they are trying to control will not let them. The Nurturer may tell the Child when it may or may not express. The Sage may tell the Warrior it is not ‘spiritual’ to become angry.

3. Independency: the value of the diverse subpersonalities is recognized. Each gets its own time to express. The individual expression of sub-personalities, like anything that cannot freely express, is usually more exaggerated during this stage.

4. Interdependence: life during this stage unfolds with more grace and less conflict. This is because the inner battles for individual control ceases within the sub-personalities. The childlike charm can help the Inner Warrior state a boundary that must not be crossed, with ease.

All sub-personalities express with ease and in a mutually beneficial way.

Each one of us knows that life can be so much easier; our deepest truths whisper that conflict as a tool of growth can be transcended. The answer lies in the sub-personalities – the Inner Family of man. Only there, can peace on Earth begin.

As a Toltec Nagual, Almine is dedicated to a life of impeccability and of setting others free from illusion. Whereas other wayshowers gather more and more students, she assists in creating more and more masters, freely sharing her vast knowledge. She has achieved the ultimate goal of the Nagual, namely, to conquer death.

The deep compassion this Immortal Master has for all life can be felt in her presence. Her writing and speaking are done from complete silence of the mind, accessed directly from Source. Because of this, she is a conduit for endless information, limited only by our willingness and ability to receive.

Because power is the consequence of having perception, she shares techniques that are perceptionbased. Many have wondered at her willingness to share information which previously would have been available only in mystery schools. But she holds firmly to her position that if the perception is there to practice the technique, it is also there to safeguard its use.

SPIRIT

Psychic or Medium, What is the Difference?

By Katrina Todd Great question: What is the difference? The answer is much simpler than most people realize. A psychic connects and brings messages from Spirit. A medium can communicate; hearing (clairaudient) or feeling (clairsentient) or seeing (clairvoyant) those that have crossed over. All mediums are psychic but not all psychics are mediums. A medium may have one or any combination of these gifts. I am blessed with all of these gifts; however I may not be able to use all of them when conversing with a spirit. A spirit may choose to only show themselves in one way or in any combination of these ways.

So the next question is: Who has these gifts? You do or did. Everyone is born with it, but many turn it off consciously or subconsciously, for whatever reason. Others, like me, may have had a love-hate relationship with their gift over their lifetime. I kept trying to avoid it by turning off my abilities and ignoring the spirits, which was my choice. But once I let them in and passed along their message I saw the positive impact that a message of encouragement from Spirit or a loved one had, I could no longer ignore my gifts.

A question that I often get is: When did I know that I could do this? It was a progression. As I became more open I consciously connected with the universal energy; I started seeing, feeling and hearing people that had passed away. I also started saying very wise things that came to me from out of nowhere. These wise messages are

never directly from me, they just come through me from Spirit. (I know they were not from me because I am not that wise). I am blessed to share my gifts with anyone who has the interest, curiosity and courage to receive messages from the other side.

How does that help you? If you have a question, a dilemma, or just want some clarity in your life, seeking out the services of a psychic medium may be the answer. Guaranteed by the Universe, you will receive exactly what you need to hear during your session, which will be for your highest good.

Why would you want to have a session with me?

For a number of reasons: to receive messages from Spirit, to meet your guides and angels, to find out what is happening in your energy; all of these can bring you peace now and awaken the ability for you to consciously change your tomorrows. It is also about taking back your power to free your soul.

What’s Above With Clairvoyant Kim

Dear Kim, When someone has a miscarriage, is there a soul?

At what point in utero does the soul enter the fetus? When infants die at or shortly after birth, what is the purpose? What is the soul to gain by being on earth for a few short hours or days? Is this "lesson" for the parents, part of a plan they made prior to coming to earth themselves? ~ Jayden S., Red Deer, Alberta ~ What an amazing question; one that I am asked a lot. Every soul has an earth experience to learn.

We all come to earth at different stages of our soul growth…old soul/advanced soul...and a soul that is still in infancy. We all come for as long as we need to in each lifetime. Earth is a huge university where we are all taking different classes and learning different lessons, and for some of us, we have to keep taking that same class over and over and over again until we get it, then we move on to the next lesson. Learning never ends. When a soul cannot learn anything more this time around, we go back and that’s it for everyone, that is why we don't all die at 85, it is different for everyone. Some of us only need to be here for a very short amount of time and then return. Why? I don't know why everything is the way it is, it just is. And it was a unique experience that that child needed to have and they choose just the right parents for them to help them with their journey here, however long or short it may be. That I know for sure.

My mother passed from a heart attack when I was two months pregnant with my son. Does she know how hard it was for me to raise him and does she know what a good man he is? ~ Fiona B, Calgary, Alberta~

16 | T H E V I O L E T R AY Summer 2011

Quite simply…yes, she sees everything. She does know and is extremely proud of you and is very proud of her grandson. We do not really die, we just change form. So your mom is close at all times. Watch for the little signs, signals, and moments that make you stop and think of her…it is her…..that is why you are having that moment. No doubt having a child without her physically close must have been difficult, but it did make you strong and your son is fabulous.

So, for whatever reason, you all needed to have this life experience together.

I am wondering if you can tell me if there are restless spirits in our house. More than once, we have heard footsteps in the kitchen when no one else was at home. If so, what can we do to deal with this unsettling phenomenon? Thanks so much. ~ Marjorie H, Black Diamond, Alberta~ Sounds like you have some spirits that are operating at a lower vibration. This is not a bad thing, they are not aware that you can sense/hear them. Spirits are around us always, we just cannot see or hear them because that operate at a vibration that our five senses cannot tap into.

Just ask whoever is there, in that moment, to leave as they are coming in too close…it should end.

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.

CONSCIOUS LIVING

How Much Fluoride is too Much Fluoride?

By Debra J. Suchy The element fluorine is known as a strong free radical. In the past, scientists have created deadly nerve gases, rocket fuel, and radioactive substances for bombs from fluorine. Fluorine compounds are used to preserve wood, as well as kill rodents and bugs. The fluoride ion, used to fluoridate community drinking water comes from the element fluorine.

Is your community water fluoridated? Are you concerned?

The University of Maryland Medical Center describes fluoride on their website as follows: “Fluoride, either applied topically to teeth, or ingested orally during tooth development, helps to prevent tooth decay, strengthen tooth enamel, and reduce the harmful effects of plaque. Fluoride also makes the entire tooth structure more resistant to decay and promotes remineralization, which aids in repairing early decay before the damage is even visible.”

(2008) They, and others, identify the following as sources of fluoride in our everyday environment: - dental products (toothpaste, rinse, topical treatments) - fluoridated drinking water - soft drinks - black tea - some bottled water - wine Chemist, Dr William Hirzy would also add pesticide residues and polluted air to this list (2006).

Once ingested, fluoride is absorbed by the stomach and enters the blood stream where it is distributed and deposited throughout our bodies.

Herein lies the potential danger.

Many fear that adding fluoride to our drinking water, which is still standard practice in Canada and the United States despite being banned in at least eight European and Asian countries between 1970 and 1992, puts our health at significant risk.

Eight other countries banned this practice over 10 years ago. “In the late 1970s and early 1980s 18 | T H E V I O L E T R AY Summer 2011

Denmark and Sweden banned fluoridation when government panels found insufficient evidence of safety, and the Netherlands banned water fluoridation when a group of medical practitioners presented evidence that it caused negative effects in a percentage of the population (Colquhoun,1998).”

A 2006 report from The National Research Council (NRC) claims that “some people drinking water with just 1 ppm fluoride may ingest enough fluoride from all sources to experience a health problem.”

And yet on their website the Canadian Dental Association (CDA) still maintains, “Community water fluoridation is a safe and effective way of preventing tooth decay at a low cost.”

However, what is the real cost, not in terms of dollars but in terms of health risks? On the same website the CDA concedes that there is the health risk of dental fluorosis with fluoridated drinking water but states “scientific studies have not found any (other) credible link between water fluoridation and adverse health effects.”

What is fluorosis? Are there other risks? Hileman describes dental fluorosis as a defect of the tooth enamel caused by fluoride’s interference with developing teeth. Its visible signs are mottled or yellow teeth. In 2010, the CDC reported that 41% of 12-15 year olds in the US had dental fluorosis.

It appears that 41% of this group are getting too much fluoride. Orthodontist Dr Dean Murphy, observed dental flourosis in his practice and began to investigate. In his book, The Devil’s Poison: How Fluoride is Killing You he writes, “chronic doses of fluoride… accumulate in our bodies causing a blockage in the way the cells breathe and leads to the malformation of collagen. Cancer, diabetes, thyroid and neurological disorders, hormonal imbalances, heart disease, arthritis, and osteoporosis have all been linked to chronic fluoride ingestion. (2008)” In their Review of the 2010 Fluoride Literature, the Fluoride Action Network (FAN) stated “more than 100 animal studies have linked fluoride to brain damage, and 24 additional studies in humans have found an association between high

CONSCIOUS LIVING levels of fluoride in drinking water and reduced intelligence. Chronic exposure to elevated levels of fluoride results in decreased memory and learning ability.” In that review FAN also provides support for many of the claims made by Dr. Murphy in his book.

How much fluoride is too much fluoride?

Consider the substantial benefits of drinking black tea, which contains fluoride. Dr Gary Whitford explains that you would have to drink 2-3 litres per day for 10 years to create a significant risk to bone health. Many dental professionals tell us that fluoride toothpastes, rinses, and fluoridated water are all at safe levels.

How will you decide how much fluoride is too much fluoride? I encourage you to do your own research and make the best possible decision for you and your loved ones.

FEATURE

Become Self-Empowered in Healing

By Adam DreamHealer Often when discussing energy healing the question of belief is mentioned. The pivotal question is not whether you believe in energy healing, but whether you believe that YOU can influence your health through your own intentions.

Can you influence your own healing through your intentions? You will be comforted to know that the answer is a resounding, “Yes!” Science is only beginning to understand some of the most basic issues about health and healing. Your cells are designed to respond in the appropriate manner to any given environment. The environment that you create through your perception of physical reality is more important than the physical reality itself. Your intentions will influence your cells the same way that any physical stimuli do. The environment that you create through your own intentions is often overlooked when it comes to healing but it is one of the most significant factors in your healing process.

This is because people react to their perception of situations, rather than the situation itself. The same event can lead to very different reactions in different people. You are the one who dictates not only how you perceive your environment but also how your body reacts to any situation.

Quite simply, there is no such thing as an idle or neutral thought. You are 100 percent in control of your perception of your environment. This consequently influences your internal biochemistry and your health.

This has been the focus of DreamHealer books and DVD, as well as the transformational workshop events. Participants experience the unique group energy sessions held at workshops, and learn techniques to focus intentions, embracing your healing power. The energy at workshops is palpable, often creating an energy shift for a person as a jumpstart to their healing.

In healing how does a healer influence the wellness of others? To understand this concept I will explain what I experience when I conduct healings at a distance, in person and in a group treat20 | T H E V I O L E T R AY Summer 2011

ment such as at my workshops.

Healing is accomplished through various types of connections. In distant healing, a person’s photograph allows me to connect by serving as a guide for me to get to that specific frequency which is unique to that person.

Healing in person provides a similar identification of frequencies to accomplish the healing exchange of information. In group healings that I do at every workshop, I merge the auras of all participants into a coherent frequency allowing the entire group to resonate together.

When healing, I feel/see images of interacting, vibrating frequencies connecting to a web or network of frequencies. Everyone has a unique frequency within this web of interconnectivity. When healing, I focus to reach a coherent energy frequency by altering mine to get closer to the unique frequency of the person I am healing.

This “shift in frequencies” acts as an intermediary state as my frequency bounces or oscillates from the person being healed to mine. A more in-tune resonance results in more complete information being exchanged. I then transfer this information they need so they can manifest positive health changes.

This works most effectively if the person’s (healee’s) intention for better health is aligned with the healer’s intentions. This is why the group healing sessions at the workshops are so effective; your own visualizations are synchronized with the collective healing energy of a group energy treatment. As I am able to “see” energy, I can “see” how powerful your own participation in your own health is.

There are a great number of variables as to how a person responds to this process such as their beliefs, attitudes, relationships with self and others, and intentions. The connections are always more focused, powerful and intense when the intentions are similarly focused between the healer and the healee.

FEATURE Intention requires synchronizing conscious and subconscious thought patterns in order to invoke change. Visualizations are an effective and powerful way to focus your intentions on healing, an innate ability that can be enhanced by teachable techniques and practices.

Have the greatest respect for your own ability to help yourself heal. The future in medicine is harnessing self-empowerment through your own focused thoughts and intentions. Become selfempowered as you learn to trust yourself to make the difference in your own health.

Currently I am a full-time medical student, so I am time-challenged. My books are translated into over 20 languages and sold in over 35 countries, so requests for international workshops are constant, yet due to time constraints there are only three upcoming, all scheduled in Canada.

Many people travel overseas to attend workshops in China, Tibet, Japan, Turkey, Germany and the Netherlands.

Adam has studied for years to bring a scientific framework to maximizing outcomes through the power of our own harnessed intentions. Adam McLeod B.Sc. First Class Honors in Molecular Biology and Biochemistry, First Nations healer, speaker, international best selling author (books in 21 languages in 35 countries); Qigong young visionary award; Golden Key Award; nominated for Dr. Rogers prize for excellence in Complementary and Alternative medicine.

Currently in 2nd year medical school.

Attendees are always an exciting mix of enlightened people from all walks of life, with 40% being healers themselves: M.D.s, N.D.s, D.C., RN, RMT, Reiki, Qigong and Yoga masters to name a few. It is encouraging to know that so many practitioners are interested in incorporating healing with intentions into their practices.

As healing with intentions is most beneficial when incorporated into a daily routine, about 30% of workshop attendees are repeaters brushing up on their techniques and focusing their healing within the group energy sessions.

Many people send their healing energy to others who are physically unable to attend. This is more effective if the receiver knows when this will be and is focused on the same visualization for their wellness.

Thousands of others join the healing sessions remotely from all around the globe. This is more effective for those who have previously experienced a workshop.

Adam is author of "Intention Heals" and "DreamHealer" series combines the subtle energy he "sees" as a healer using his Native American experience in aboriginal healing, and cuttingedge biosciences he knows as a molecular biologist . He has presented with Dr. Edgar Mitchell many times in conferences, who in the film "The Living Matrix" credits Adam with distantly healing his kidney carcinoma.

Adam has been sharing his knowledge and experiences in energy healing for a number of years and has had a number of guest speakers at his conferences – Dr. Bruce Lipton and Dr. Lee Pulos among them. He has presented at the Association of Complementary and Integrative Physicians of BC conferences with Dr. Andrew Weil and Dr. David Suzuki. Adam was the keynote presenter at the Northwest Naturopathic Physicians Convention. please see ad on page 3

PHENOMENON

Choosing the Light

By Wendy Gamelin Have you ever wondered why some souls choose to stay earthbound and others choose to follow the Light?

My understanding is that when our soul departs from our body we will always be given the choice to go into the spiritual realms with its many levels of Light. However many choose the earthbound (astral plane) for diverse and complex reasons. All souls that have reached a certain level of attainment will follow the Light, proceeding through the tunnel.

All choices stem from our multitude of belief systems that originated eons ago. When we have become programmed into believing that we are unworthy of seeking the “Kingdom of Heaven,” this repels us from the Light even more. Fearing a God that condemns us to eternal hell for not repenting our sins leaves us forever afraid of meeting our “Maker.” So what happens when we reject the Light, we end up in the astral plane where we undergo the same hell and torment that we had here on Earth. We create the same situations and conditions there that we experienced here until we change our belief systems.

Now we have the souls that very much enjoyed the good Earth life. Their attachments to their bodies and earthly treasures are hard to let go of, so therefore they reject the Light in favor of continuing on in the astral plane. Here they experience the same pleasures as they did on Earth.

I have heard and read many times that our grief may stop our loved ones from going to the Light, that we can hold them back by our not letting go.

Grieving is an important part of healing for the ones left behind so long as it doesn’t become too long and extended. I have never felt that we hold them back unless it feeds their ego self into thinking we can’t continue on without them; how sad for them to stay earthbound. We have the exception of the dear souls that strongly feel a loved one will be leaving their body soon. They stay earthbound in hopes of traveling to the Light together.

Boddhisatvas are highly evolved beings that go directly into the higher levels of Light, there they reconnect and integrate with their “I AM PRESENCE”. Here they have the choice of moving onto higher levels of the spiritual realms to continue their own growth and evolution or to come back to the earth plane and act as guides and teachers for the many beings that haven’t ascended yet.

22 | T H E V I O L E T R AY Summer 2011

What about the poor souls that don’t even know they have died. Their death was so sudden and quick, therefore totally unprepared for the parting of their soul. These souls can’t understand why we are not communicating with them anymore, not realizing we don’t see nor hear them anymore. They try to get our attention in every way they can, at last they come to understand that they must have died.

No matter what choice our soul makes there has always been and will always be great assistance from the many “Beings of Light” when we are ready to ask for help. Our free will gives us many choices but it is our belief systems that create choices of Light and Love or choices of darkness and despair.

PLANTS & HERBS

Spark Your Inner Light

By Susan Cossi Metaphysicians and scientists have longed believed that the center of spiritual perception can be found in the pituitary gland, located at the base of the brain. The pituitary releases endorphins, a natural pain reliever during stress and shock. On a positive note, studies have also proven that laughter, the practise of meditation, prayer, listening to music, and vigorous exercise also produce endorphins.

Ancient philosophers and scientists consider the seat of the soul to be the pineal gland. This gland, located close to the pituitary is part of the endocrine system which is connected to altered states of consciousness. It synthesizes a natural chemical known as melatonin. Melatonin is also related to some psychedelic drugs processed from the banisteriopsis caapi plant. The Amazon Indians use banisteriopsis caapi, also known as ayahuasca; a plant which contains harmaline in their religious ceremonies to achieve PSI (psychic or paranormal) power.

Interestingly, this plant was named in honour of John Banister, a seventeenth-century English clergyman and naturalist.

We all want: - Tranquility - Insight - Spiritual self discipline - To remove negative programming Our synergistic relationship with plants can support our journey and spark our inner light.

Plants are mother nature’s pharmacy and essential oils are their ultimate gift to us all. Essential oils are produced through a specific steam distillation process and they posses the ability to carry oxygen at cellular level. They have the ability to stimulate the endocrine glands to produce hormones.

Have you ever wondered why cedarwood, frankincense, sage, and sandalwood are so popular for prayer, meditation, and ceremony? It is because they all possess a chemical constitute named sesquiterpene. The oils that contain sesquiterpene increase the oxygen around the pituitary and pineal glands and hold the ability to surpass the blood brain barrier to enter the brain tissues.

Sesquiterpenes stimulate and release melatonin and improves one’s attitude. They are also hypotensive, anti-inflammatory, antiseptic and antibacterial; to name just a few of their quali-

ties. By incorporating sacred oils into your spiritual practises new levels of awareness can be achieved. The pituitary gland corresponds to the Ajna (known as the third eye or the 6th chakra).

The pineal gland corresponds to the Sahasrara (the crown or 7th chakra).

Cedarwood (cedrus atlantica) is used by North American Indians to communicate with the spirits and achieve higher consciousness. At night wild animals will lay under these magnificent trees for protection and rejuvenation.

Frankincense (boswellia carterri) is a gentle tranquilizer and aids you to focus your spiritual consciousness and transcendent awareness by promoting clarity. Frankincense is mentioned dozens of times in the bible and is said to aid communication with God (Source).

Sandalwood (santalum album) is an aphrodisiac. It encourages meditative states and aids prayer and all spiritual practices. It integrates spirit with the physical sense of being present.

Sage (salvia officinalis) is used to cleanse the spirit. It is a sacred herb to the Romans, the Lakota Indians, Greeks, Arabs and Asians.

You cannot achieve the ultimate experience if you use inferior plants or essential oils. Get to know a reputable supplier. The chemical constituents of an oil are controlled by the oil producer. Professional producers use gas-liquid chromatography (GLC) testing to confirm that the oils have the correct levels of the active chemical constituents.

Cautionary Notes: (1) cedarwood is contraindicated for first trimester of pregnancy; (2)sage is to be used with caution, if pregnant; (3)banisteriopsis caapi, also known as ayahuasca is to be used with extreme caution and under the supervision of skilled Shamans.

As a member of the International Federation of Professional Aromatherapists, aromatherapy is susan’s area of speciality and her clinical background encompasses a full spectrum of physiology, diet, nutrition and a comprehensive understanding of medicinal plants with their uses in healing.

Who’s In Your Bundle?

By Abe Brown, B.Th., C.M.C.T. According to legend, on his deathbed Khan Kubrat commanded his sons to gather sticks and bring them to him, which he then bundled together. He commanded his eldest son, Bayan, to break the bundle. Bayan failed against the strength of the combined sticks, and so did the other sons in turn.

Khan Kubrat undid the bundle and broke each stick separately. He then proclaimed to his sons, "unity makes strength," which has become a commonplace Bulgarian folk slogan and now appears on the Bulgarian coat of arms.

Your “bundle” can be defined as that network of caring relationships which wrap you in support, and give you strength which you do not have alone. It is crucial in life that we take time to identify and then cultivate our bundle, to build partners for life. Your bundle replenishes you.

Relationships are a crucial key in unlocking your destiny.

So, how do we build our bundle?

First, focus on building the bundle of others. Be others-first, others-focused, others-motivated.

Remember that if you are looking for a bundle, so is everyone else. Be a bundle for others and they may return the kindness. Ann Landers said, “Warmth, kindness and friendship are the most yearned for commodities in the world. The person who can provide them will never be lonely.”

Second, don’t pre-judge your bundle.

Sometimes, a bundle comes from a place we would never have guessed. Several years ago, I went through a difficult personal season. I remember thinking that my support would come from certain acquaintances I had at the time. I was shocked that the help I needed did not come from that particular group, but I was pleasantly surprised when it came from another set of friends I never thought it would come from. As Samuel Johnston said, “True happiness consists not in the multitude of friends, but in their worth and choice." I had pre-judged that some would be in my bundle and others would not. Thankfully, my new-found bundle helped me through!

Third, people skills are crucial. Nobody owes you or me anything. In other words, every friend we have is a precious treasure and a privilege.

The moment we take our friends for granted, and lose an attitude of gratitude, is the moment that we make it difficult for people to be in our bundle. Ralph Waldo Emerson said that, "The only way to have a friend is to be one."

There can be no doubt that at some point in our lives, something will attempt to break us. Don’t try to stand alone. Cultivate a bundle. Epicurus, a Greek philosopher said, "It is not so much our friends' help that helps us as the confident knowledge that they will help us." The support of a bundle will enable us to stand far longer than we could on our own.

Vital Signs

By Sarah Salter-Kelly Our emotional body creates the tapestry of our earth experience. Each colour a vital sign of our joy, laughter, blessings, as well as our sadness, grief and pain. As we gaze upon this fabric we have the opportunity to see our darkness as well as our light. Our most endearing AND our most painful experience's bear the fruit of our creativity, passion, and wisdom. The keys that unlock the secrets of our soul are found in those moments where we are reminded of what we truly value in this lifetime…

It's February and I am sitting in the hospital with my sister and my husband watching the monitors hooked up to my father. He has just had a heart surgery with every form of complication fathomable. Heavily sedated he is unconscious, intubated, and on monitors for his heart, pacemaker, blood pressure . . . It looks like every machine they own is hooked up to him. We gaze vigilantly at his vital signs . . . waiting 36 hours for him to come out of the dark; listening to the news from doctors and nurses as they translate to us the language of these machines, the news shifting its weight in our own hearts. We advocate for him through the beeps and bleeps of monitors, singing him songs, telling him jokes . . . having faith that he is in there somewhere to hear us. This Man means the world to us; we treasure him and love him as our father; his tenacious, vibrant spirit he carries within this body that is on the threshold of death. All that matters is this moment, Dad's vital signs, his signs of life . . .

Three days later I come home from the hospital.

Dad is still in the ICU, however he is on the mend.

I am adjusting to the frequency of my home.

Having been gone for three days everyone is eager to see me, and my house reflects my absence. I take a moment to absorb my home, breathing in the details; socks on the floor, toothpaste on bathroom mirror, hair in the sink, milk on the counter. There are days when these details grate on my nerves, driving me insane. Today I cherish them.

Today I leave the hair in the sink, I don't wash the mirror or pick up the socks… (I put away the milk!) Instead I observe them from a place of reverence. Noticing how comparable these vital signs of my home are to those I monitored within the hospital. The ones that showed us Dad was breathing and alive. Each beep and bleep spoke to us, saying ' I AM here.' In my life, in my home these vital signs are demonstrated in the physical trails that lead to those I love. The evidence that marks the space; that signifies 'I was here' (socks on floor, age 10), 'I was here' (toothpaste on mirror, age 5), 'I was here' (milk on counter, debate between 10 and 43!), I AM alive. These are the colours of the people on the weft and warp of my loom, that make up the blessed fibres of my personal tapestry.

Each of us may make note of this pattern, we may remark with humbleness the wealth of our material. Allowing ourselves to feel the beauty of our existence and appreciate those who add their presence to it each day. Rejoice in the colours and textures of our lives. These are our personal vital signs, our signs of life….

P.S. - My father is in full recovery.

Marcel Gour & Randy McGhee 1-866-382-5299 www.lazymcanada.com The universe is full of all sorts of directions.

When you open your heart and mind the possibilities are endless. A few years ago I realized that I was stuck in the traffic circle of life and the only way to get out was to take the next exit.

There were lots of choices, but I was afraid of taking the wrong turn. The day came when a feeling of overwhelming stress, sadness, loss and confusion brought me to a standstill. I realized then that if I did not seek help, I was going to spiral out of control. Years of 'stuff ' had taken a toll on me and if I did not 'change my environment', it could kill me.

Wow...that was a wakeup call. So my next question was; where does a man in his mid 40's go for help? And to my surprise, not a lot of choices were available. How was I going to do this and when? I took personal development courses and sought out new opportunities in the work place.

A new understanding of me and how to relate to friends, and most importantly family slowly developed. For the first time I was in charge of ME, something very different to the way my life had been up to this point.

Then the next exit just presented itself. One day my best friend Marcel Gour and I stumbled on a lodge for sale not far from Caroline, AB. Both of us felt this was the change we needed. It was quite a step from working 9-5, 5 days a week in the big city to country life. So we took that exit and drove down a laneway that would lead us to a whole new lifestyle.

The Lazy M Lodge was born; a unique place for 28 | T H E V I O L E T R AY Summer 2011

guests to rest, relax, and recharge in our 8 room lodge, for up to 16 people. The lodge is completely ready for each of us to discover our purpose.

Now one year later I feel nothing but gratitude to the universe for having brought me here. I have met and been of service to some truly amazing people. Individuals from all over the world, personal development groups, and corporate clients have come to share their stories and appreciation for the opportunity to share this amazing space. Hosting sessions with White Thunderbird Healing has brought the realization that these forty acres in west central Alberta offer a deep connection to spirituality and inner peace. Again the universe showed me the way, the perfect place to host holistic and spiritual growth to all who seek it.

I have experienced the overwhelming realization that I have helped create the place I seriously needed when I was at my lowest. Lazy M Lodge provides a chance to escape your environment even for just a little while, regroup and gather the strength to take the next exit out of the traffic circle of life to truly live.

The journey continues ‌ please be a part of it.

HUMAN POTENTIAL

Making The Shift

By Dr. Wayne W. Dyer I’ve been engaged for many years in helping people (including myself) reach their highest potential. I have now made almost 70 trips around our sun, and the one thing that stands out very clearly is that all of us want our lives to have purpose and meaning. What does it take to reach a state of consciousness that nurtures a life of purpose and meaning?

First, in my movie The Shift, and now in the companion book of the same name, I’ve tried to map things out. All of us on this glorious human voyage into adulthood have to make some shifts, or transitions, during the trip. The first shift that we all make takes us from nonbeing to being, from Spirit to form, from the invisible to our corporeal world of things. The next shift is the phase I call Ambition where we take on an ego self that is the opposite of the place of Spirit from which we came. Ego in this context is our false self. These first two shifts are mandatory in the human journey. Unfortunately, for many people, Ambition is often the end of their life story.

But there are two more shifts open to us. We can all choose to make the leap past the second shift of ego-driven ambition. We arrive at the third shift when we realize that we have an option to make a U-turn away from the false self. We can do an about-face and head back to the place of Spirit in a third shift. And then, in the fourth shift, we achieve a life of Meaning and purpose by rededicating our Ambition to the fulfillment of our authentic self. We discover that the laws of the material world do not necessarily apply in the presence of the Meaning that is encouraged by our shift to Source. Manifestations of miracles begin to populate the landscape of life.

30 | T H E V I O L E T R AY Summer 2011

Meaning is now what defines all the moments of our existence. We can fulfill our greatest calling when we consciously undertake the journey from Ambition to Meaning. We can transform our individual lives and influence the destiny of our sacred planet as well.

Did You Know...

Vitality Crystals & Fountains Inc.

Amethyst is a stone of spiritual protection, purification and divine connection. It also helps release addictions. Amethyst, the stone of Pisces, brings clarity to the conscious and unconscious mind. Its element is Wind and it relates to the Third Eye (6th), Crown (7th), Etheric (8th and beyond, above the head) Chakras. When placed on the crown chakra during meditation, amethyst increases concentration and confidence in life. Amethyst has a soothing, relaxing effect and promotes a healthy sleep.

In the stories of St. Germain and the Violet Flame of spiritual purification the people were urged to call upon the Violet Flame to purge themselves of karmic baggage or illness and to protect themselves from psychic attack. This is an analog of the subtle vibrational field emanated by Amethyst, and it can assist one in connecting with this beneficial energy.

Reiki Bugg…

By Marlayne Robinson, RMT I am ever in awe of our animal kingdom. I have heard stories about animals who have been attuned to Reiki and now I am blessed to live with one myself. Recently, while I was teaching a Reiki level I/II course, my cat Bugg decided to join the Friday evening session. He jumped up on the massage table and sat attentively for two hours. At the end of the evening I performed the first attunement. He sat quietly and expectantly with the students and received his first attunement. We all sat there with tears in our eyes as he acknowledged the healing power of Reiki and expanded his own natural healing abilities. The next day he skipped the lecture portion of the morning and when it came time to receive a second attunement, he came chattily into the room and jumped up on the table to participate once again. He chose to remain in the energy of Reiki I until perhaps a future time when he will take Reiki II. He carefully watches over my 97 years young mother now with a loving eye. The other evening he jumped up on her and gently touched her face with his paw, sending Reiki to her, as only he can.

Reiki has been a part of my life for many years and I am blessed to have worked with humans and animals alike. I feel so very honored and blessed to have a Reiki buddy living with me.

Call Massage Above All NOW for healing Reiki sessions; or come and learn with me to become a Reiki practitioner.

I send many Reiki blessings to all, especially at this time in our lives when the world we live in is undergoing such dramatic changes.

Surrendering to the Power of Reiki

By Maya Bringas My journey with Reiki continues to be an important part of my life. It has allowed me to find a deep sense of peace from within. It has involved learning the technicalities of how to use the energy to assist in healing myself, others and the earth; and surrendering to its wisdom to guide me in every aspect of my life.

From the first time I experienced Reiki several years ago, I immediately knew in my heart, that I had to learn it.

Reiki, meaning spirituallyguided life force energy, is a therapy for stress reduction and relaxation that also promotes healing. However, the knowledge and power it holds goes far beyond this simple definition. After realizing the significance that Reiki would play in my life, I was guided to train with teachers from the International Center for Reiki Training in the US. Their insight, professionalism, and dedication to Reiki were truly inspiring.

Reiki works on healing at all levels of one’s being (physically, emotionally, mentally, and spiritually). It is able to get to the root cause of a problem. Issues may surface so that they may be released and healed. And once healed, one is able to move forward with ease, grace and a renewed sense of peace and well-being. Reiki is natural, safe and assists in the treatment of illnesses. It reduces healing time and side-effects to medication. It promotes relaxation, boosts energy levels and positive thinking.

As I ponder how my life has changed, I am filled with gratitude. Reiki has taught me to see myself, others, and the world, through the eyes of compassion and love. I look for the deeper meaning in situations, acknowledging that life is a journey in which we are always learning, so that we may elevate ourselves to higher levels

and learn to live from our hearts. Reiki has lifted a veil from within, illuminating what is of true importance to me. It has taught me that love is always the answer. Reiki has brought me clarity to know what is always for my highest good and gives me the courage to follow the path that brings me the most joy. I am able to live in the now, having learned from past experiences, and feeling secure that all will be well in the future. I am more easily able to release worries and replace them with faith and trust.

Reiki has shown me how to surrender, to ask for answers from within and trust that Reiki will guide me, teach me, and take me where I need to be. For me, Reiki is a lifestyle.

It has enriched my life in so many ways and assists me in creating the life I desire. I am comforted, knowing that as I continue on my path, Reiki will continue to guide me.

EMERGENCY AWARENESS

How Prepared Are You?

By Carol Uchytil Are you prepared for a natural disaster?

Will you be able help out if your services are required by your family, community or planet? I have always felt that I live in one of the safest places in the world but I know that we are not immune from the forces of nature.

Thus, I have decided to include some basic information on what to do if a Tornado hits our area. For more information on getting prepared please visit www.ccep.ca or www.getprepared.gc.ca or visit www.sja.ca if you want to brush up on your first aide skills.

WHAT TO DO DURING A TORNADO If you are in a house: Go to the basement or take shelter in a small interior ground floor room such as a bathroom, closet or hallway. If you have no basement, protect yourself by taking shelter under a heavy table or desk. In all cases, stay away from windows, outside walls and doors.

If you are in an office or apartment building: Take shelter in an inner hallway or room, ideally in the basement or on the ground floor. Do not use the elevator. Stay away from windows.

If you are in a gymnasium, church or auditorium: If possible, find shelter in another building.

If you are in one of these buildings and cannot leave, take cover under a sturdy structure such as a table or desk.

Avoid cars and mobile homes: More than half of all deaths from tornadoes happen in mobile homes. Find shelter elsewhere, preferably in a building with a strong foundation. If no shelter is available, lie down in a ditch away from the car or mobile home. Beware of flooding from downpours and be prepared to move.

still but is, in fact, moving toward you.

Aside from Tornados, depending on where you live in Canada the following risks could occur: Avalanche, Earthquake, Flood, Landslide, Wildfire, Severe Weather, Power Outage, and Infectious Disease Outbreaks, Pandemic Influenza, Hazardous Material Spills, Storm Surges and Tsunami’s.

Unfortunately we cannot cover what to do for all of these risks so I encourage you to go visit www.getprepared.gc.ca to educate yourself on emergency preparedness.

Emergency Kit list: a Water — two litres of water per person per day (include small bottles) Food that won’t spoil, such as canned food, energy bars and dried foods (replace once a year) a Manual can opener a Wind-up or battery-powered flashlight (and extra batteries) a Wind-up or battery-powered radio (and extra batteries) a First aid kit a Special needs items — pet food, prescription medications, infant formula or equipment for people with disabilities a Extra keys for your car and house a Cash — include smaller bills, such as $10 bills and change for payphones For additional supplies that you may need visit www.getprepared.gc.ca Other Emergency Website Sources: www.aema.alberta.ca www.pep.bc.ca www.cpsp.gov.sk.ca www.gov.mb.ca/emo/

If you are driving : If you spot a tornado in the distance go to the nearest solid shelter. If the tornado is close, get out of your car and take cover in a low-lying area, such as a ditch.

In all cases: Get as close to the ground as possible, protect your head and watch for flying debris. Do not chase tornadoes – they are unpredictable and can change course abruptly. A tornado is deceptive. It may appear to be standing

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

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.-
