Letter from the Editor
Tara L. Robinson, editor@wholelivingjournal.com
Choosing Miracles
A
lbert Einstein said “There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.” Now I can’t say for sure exactly how the universe operates and there are certainly mysteries we may never understand, not to mention it’s very tricky to figure out the dynamics between free will and divine providence. However, what I do know for sure is that life is a lot more fun when I choose to live as though everything is a miracle. When I choose to live life as an adventure my level of enjoyment significantly increases. And since our thoughts and beliefs create our realities, it’s no surprise that miracles and adventurous happenings are regular occurrences in my life, or at least I interpret them as such. One of my favorite quotes is by Joseph Campbell. He said ‟Anyone standing on a street corner waiting for the light to turn green is waiting to step into the world of heroic deeds and mythic action.” And in one of my favorite books ever, The Way of the Wizard, Deepak Chopra writes, “You cross the street not noticing the sword in the stone standing by the curb. A bus station can turn into the Crystal Cave if you are open to it.” So the question is, are you open to it? Are you ready to begin living life as an adventure and as if everything is a miracle? In my last Letter from the Editor (JanFeb ῾14) I chronicled the amazing synchronicities that lined up and resulted in a fated phone call with someone who found hope when he needed it most. In short, I interviewed Dr. Wayne Dyer and then spoke about the question I asked him regarding the Serenity Prayer and his answer to me on Waves of a New Age radio show later that same day. A listener who “just happened” to be “passing through” Cincinnati at that exact time called to say he had been planning his suicide for the past 12 days and had just decided he didn’t want to die after being reminded of the deep message of the Serenity Prayer which says, “God, grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference.” What has happened since then continues to be a journey of living the miraculous. Before I had written and published my Letter from the Editor telling the story of my experience with divine intervention, I wrote a personal email to Dr. Dyer letting him know what had happened after we had talked. I didn’t receive a response from him, which wasn’t surprising given his very demanding schedule. But then, we were suddenly flooded with emails from people in all corners of the world asking for copies of Whole Living Journal to be mailed to them and commenting on the amazing story of my conversation with Dr. Dyer. This sudden interest in WLJ and my editor᾿s letter was somewhat perplexing since it seemed to come from out of nowhere when a piece of information dropped into place that explained everything. I was tagged in a Facebook post that read, “Cincinnati’s
very own Tara L. Robinson is featured in Dr. Wayne Dyer’s latest newsletter.” As it turned out, Dr. Dyer hadn’t responded to me personally, but he had re-printed my email to him in his newsletter that was sent to his subscribers around the world! That’s why we were receiving requests and comments from places like Norway, Japan, Australia, South Africa and Germany. Although I never imagined events would unfold like this, I do imagine my life can feel like a miracle, that it can be an adventure…that anything is possible. I encourage you to begin looking for the sword in the stone standing by the curb in your own life, and consider stepping off that curb into the world of heroic deeds and mythic action. We’d love to hear from you about your own adventures. Please write to us, comment on our Facebook page, or come in person to Infusion Cincinnati where stories like this are shared every month. I’m going to close with some of the comments we’ve received since there’s not enough space in our Reader Feedback section to feature them there. Much love to all. “Thank you, Tara. We can see clearly now that before merging into form, we were a part of God, with all the inherent qualities of a Creator who sends forth abundance, creativity, love, peace, joy, and well-being. Each and every one of us represent God or Spirit revealing Itself here on our planet. Remember that your life is bigger than you are, and dedicate your life to something that reflects an awareness of your Divinity. Namaste.” Wayne W. Dyer, Hawaii “You are blessed with your awareness. So many people see the dots, but fail to connect them!” Robert Voges, Indiana “Thank you for this magazine that I just discovered. My books that I cherish and I’ve learned so much from are by authors such as, Louise Hay, Wayne Dyer, Marianne Williamson, Deepak Chopra, Don Miguel Ruiz, and many others. And I’m so thankful that you have articles from some of the authors I’ve mentioned.” Teresa Milaras, South Australia “Dear Tara and Whole Living Journal, Today I read Dr. Wayne Dyer’s e-mail and your touching words about the radio program that saved one man’s life. Amazing! You have touched people in icy cold Norway too.” Therese Ulvan, Norway “When reading your editorial and the article on Dr. Dyer's latest book, I recalled the song entitled ‘I Can See Clearly Now’ written by Johnny Nash and performed in the movie Cool Runnings…‘I can see clearly now the rain is gone.’ My vision (outer and inner) is no longer obstructed. ‘I can see all obstacles in my way.’ - I notice what’s preventing me from living the life I desire. ‘Gone are the dark clouds...’ - of discouragement, dejection, and despair. ‘Here is the rainbow I’ve been praying for.’ - Reflections of hopes and inspirations. ‘It’s gonna be a bright, bright sunshiny day.’ - DeLightful!” Adele Bell, Cincinnati

Infusion Cincinnati was recently described as ‟a living Whole Living Journal” - a place where people can come together to connect and be infused with inspiration. Infusion is exactly that - every month WLJ jumps off the pages and comes alive as we gather to share the most cutting edge and revolutionary ideas about how we can make the world a better place...the world at large, in our precious city, and in our own individual worlds. In January, transformation coach Larry Watson led our largest meeting yet. Larry facilitated discussion about The Power of Visioning and impromptu music was provided by Randy Weeks. Randy captivated everyone with his rendition of ‟Hallelujah.” Laughter yoga teacher Patrick Murphy Welage shattered labels and encouraged us to look with fresh eyes at everyone in our lives at the February meeting. And Zach Freidhof traveled all the way from Akron to thrill us with his lively tunes. Sage Woman will facilitate a conversation about practicing unconditional love and forgiveness for self and others at the March meeting. Please come share what᾿s on your heart. Every Infusion meeting is donation basis and includes music, talk and community discussion about living with passion and purpose. 2nd Tuesdays 6:30-8pm at Rohs Street Cafe, 245 W. McMillan St, 45219.

‟Truth and self empowerment are bursting at the seams of every heart. Now is the time. You bless us all with your steadfast, committed expressions, inspiring us all to deeper knowing and awakened awareness. Time is surely, now. Thank you. Carry on.” Susan Grace, Received via email “How awesome are you?! Whole Living Journal, Infusion Cincinnati. I was just thinking about needing a place that is filled with people with great ideas and inspiration along with positive intentions and purpose. A place where one can come together with other like minded people who all desire to live in a more humble, loving, nurturing, and adventurous world. I enjoy looking at and reading though the Whole Living Journal and often think, ῾What could happen if all the people that are mentioned in this journal were to come together under the same roof?᾿ I start dreaming of the infinite positive cosmic possibilities and outcome that would begin to take shape within this world.” Kenneth J.

Why Forgive? by Iyanla Vanzant
Y
ou might be asking yourself, “Why would I want to practice forgiveness?” The answer is simple. Practice develops skill. Skill leads to mastery. When you master the practice of forgiveness, it becomes as natural as breathing. And when you know how to forgive, you eliminate excess mental and emotional weight that keeps you stuck in repetitive situations, circumstances, and experiences that are not healthy or productive. The only true way to create a more loving, productive, and fulfilling life is by forgiving the past. Releasing the past restores us to the full energy of the present moment. Everything we do and experience in life is born from the energy we carry. People and experiences show up in response to the conscious and unconscious energetic invitations we issue. Many of us believe that what happens to us gives rise to the feelings we experience. The truth is, it’s the other way around. Forgiveness addresses how we think and feel about others and ourselves, and how those thoughts manifest within our lives as energy. Every feeling has its origin in a thought, because each thought that we have creates energy. If you can remove the thought, the underlying feeling will bubble to the surface. That’s why we are forgiving our thoughts throughout this process. As Michael Grant, author of The Twelve Laws of Life reminds us, “Your mind controls your mood. In fact, it is safe to say that you always have some thought (mind) before you feel something emotionally (mood). The thought might be so fast and seemingly ‘automatic’ that you don’t even see it or think you are thinking it but you are. The truth is that what you think determines what you feel—it’s a basic law of life.” If you can tap into and identify the feeling, you will discover that there’s a thought linked to it. Once you remove the feeling, the thought will also dissipate. Whether you explore the source thought or the feeling doesn’t matter. What matters is, if a situation, circumstance, or relationship doesn’t feel good, that’s a sign that there’s someone or something you have to forgive. It’s all about energy. Forgiveness helps to transform and eliminate the energy blockages that we hold in our minds about who we are and who others are, and the subsequent issues or upsets that grow from the thoughts, beliefs, and judgments we hold. Creating a loving, healthy, and fulfilling life plus loving, healthy, and fulfilling relationships begins in the mind. Forgiveness is a practice that helps us to realign our thoughts and feelings under new conscious management. Think of it this way: the mind is like a little puppy. A puppy will run around all over the place until we train him to do otherwise. If we don’t train the puppy, he’ll grow into a full-grown dog that will pee on the carpet, chew on our shoes, and hump our guests. When we train our own “puppy mind” to sit, stay, and roll

Fight
Cancer
with the
of
Rhythms
Nature
by Christine Horner, MD
hether you honor them or not, your mind/ body is ruled by the natural cycles and rhythms of Nature. In other words, your Warrior Goddess has a schedule that she likes to keep to stay strong and balanced. She is very particular about the number of hours she sleeps, what time she goes to bed, and many other details. When you live in harmony with her cycles and rhythms, you enhance her strength. When she is strong and empowered, she expresses that power by increasing your body’s natural healing capabilities—its inner healing intelligence. This principle is beautifully demonstrated by the profound effects that respecting or disrespecting these rhythms has on how melatonin expresses itself.
W
The Medicinal Power of Following the Cycle of the Sun If you followed the natural rhythms of the sun, you would go to bed shortly after it sets. Research indicates that there is tremendous health value in following the cycles of the sun. Research shows that if you go to bed early, before 10:00 P.M., your melatonin levels rise to their highest possible and most medicinal levels during sleep. If you go to bed late, around midnight for instance, you are working against the natural rhythms of Nature and obstructing the flow of healing intelligence. Melatonin levels don’t rise as high in this case, and you lose its full medicinal power. If you severely disrespect Nature’s rhythms, you seriously impede the healing intelligence of your mind/body, and your Warrior Goddess loses her balance, becoming dull and weak. She can no longer protect you with brilliance, discriminating intelligence, and strength.
finding. Interestingly, the researchers found that the women working the night shift, who described their natural nature as “a morning person,” had the highest risk of all. The risk of breast cancer in those individuals was almost four times higher! Other researchers found that breast cancer tumors grew seven times faster in animals exposed to constant light.
Cancer Fighters Love Complete Darkness
When you sleep, your melatonin level rises, but melatonin responds to more than just your change in consciousness. Melatonin is a nocturnal nectar. It loves the darkness. The darker the environment is, the better it flows. Even though you don’t consciously see when you sleep, your eyes perceive the light. Melatonin is as repelled by light as Count Dracula is. It shies away from even the faintest glimmers of light. Any light at night—even a soft nightlight or the glow of a full moon—will prevent your melatonin from rising to its full potential. Bright city lights burning continuously through the night may be one reason for the more common incidence of breast cancer in industrialized regions.
Blind Women Have Half the Incidence of Breast Cancer The darker it is, the more your melatonin responds and the more freely it flows. Melatonin loves the darkness so much that it seems to prefer blindness. In women who are blind, this natural medicinal hormone expresses its protective might in full glory. Blind women have half the incidence of breast cancer that women with normal eyesight have. If you can’t make your bedroom totally dark, I highly recommend that you wear an eye mask when you sleep.
The Danger of Working All Night and Sleeping All Day
Note: Radio interview with Dr. Christine Horner on Waves of a New Age, March 18th 3:30-4:30pm, WAIF 88.3FM or www.waif883.org
If you keep an extreme schedule that assaults the natural laws and rhythms of Nature (for example, if you work all night and sleep all day), the deterious health consequences are spectacular. Your inner healing intelligence is dramatically weakened. For instance, researchers found that nurses who worked the night shift had a 50 percent higher risk of breast cancer. The longer they worked the night shift—that is, the longer they worked against the laws of Nature—the higher their risk of breast cancer became. In 2012, a Danish study confirmed this

Public Library Receives Award
from Duke Energy for Upgrades The Public Library of Cincinnati and Hamilton County received a 2013 Power Partner award Feb. 11 from Duke Energy during the Library’s board meeting. The Library earned the award by making energy-efficient upgrades to the Main Library in downtown Cincinnati. “We are so pleased with the results of the improvements made to our Main Library as a result of this program. We’re saving money and energy while still providing a comfortable environment for our customers and staff,” said Eva Jane Romaine Coombe Director of the Library Kimber L. Fender. Duke Energy established the Power Partner awards in 1992 to recognize large businesses that achieve exemplary results in energy efficiency, sustainability and business growth. Given the scope and complexity of overhauling the Library’s systems, implementation of the energy-efficiency projects is being spread over multiple years and phases. The Library’s energy conservation efforts are expected to save the Library $430,000 per
year and reduce energy usage by 37 percent. In December 2012, Duke Energy presented a Smart $aver Incentive check for $111,000 to the Library for the reduction of 1,684,889 kilowatt-hours (kWh) in Phase One. During Phase Two, Duke Energy presented another Smart $aver incentive check in January of this year for $210,000 for the reduction of 2,792,785 kWh.

Awaken to Life Through
Connection by Jennifer Annenberg
R
ecall for a moment the experiment in grade school where many of us were instructed on how to grow new life utilizing the very humble method of placing a dry bean into a Styrofoam cup filled with dirt. We were told the three basic criteria to ensure the most success:
1. Push the dry seed into the soil about an inch. Too
deep would not be good, too little would not be sufficient.
2. Give it water. Again, taking great care not to give it too much or it would drown. Too little and it would not sprout.
3. Place it where it would receive sun. Then, all we could do was wait. Do you remember when your seed first showed signs of life? What a wondrous and proud moment! When we first saw the fresh green bud poking its head out, we felt like new parents. Our seeds had made it! Little did we know that this seed had embarked on a great and tumultuous journey, one that not all the seeds were willing to take. This was notable by the few disappointed faces in the classroom who ended up with just a cup of dirt. We are all seeds. Each one of us contains exactly what we need to grow into the magnificent beings we are, extensions of our Source. Regardless of the physical size or appearance of our seeds, the grey matter inside each shell is the same. It is basically an inert, goopy mass lying dormant, protected by the walls of its shell. The only way towards growth and change is when the seed is exposed to enough water that the walls of its shell sufficiently break down and dissolve, allowing it to reach out into the dark, unknown, unchartered territory of the soil. Here is where its leap of faith pays off. This dark, seemingly cold world offers nutrients and nurturing. Through complete faith and trust and knowing, two worlds connect together to push the seed towards its greatest expression. The result? The metamorphosis of grey mass into life. For us the journey is no different. Our grey matter is only awakened to life when we make the connection to the outside world. Realizing we cannot be here without others. This crucial step in our evolution is now more evident than ever. We must go into the dark unknown soil, allowing the process to take over time and time again. Opening up and connecting to something greater. Not fearing when the clouds

bring rain, tears or pain. Learning to receive the water that flows to work its magic on us, then through us, then for us. So that everything gets washed away. Only in this wall-less, vulnerable state are the most nutrients able to get in. Our degree of softening will determine the degree to which we can connect to the outside world. The greater our ability is to connect what is inside ourselves to the outside world will determine our ability to thrive. Just like the seed that allows its grey matter to come into contact with the outside world, only then will the outside world give it what it needs to thrive. And so it is with us. It can be a scary though to let go and trust. There are a million reasons why we should stay put and settle, frozen in the grey matter that seems so safe and secure. The world seems unpredictable, unsafe. What if we don’t make it? There might be nothing left of us when it’s all over. Know that you have everything you need inside of you. But it means nothing if the outside world doesn’t see it. Allow yourself to stop believing that your strength comes from keeping it all to yourself behind a wall. Know that to be the highest, most abundant expression of yourself requires you to be soft. In fact, the softer and more pliable you are, the easier it will be to grow, evolve and allow the world’s nutrients to permeate your being. We are not here to be alone. We are here to facilitate each other’s growth potential thru exchanging the gifts we have come to offer. Water will be a crucial element for us this year. It will allow us to reach inward to ourselves, then outward to others, then upward together towards the sun. Don’t allow walls to stunt your growth. Your life and the life of others depend on it. Are You Ready? “I will remind you of your magnificence, until you are utterly, completely, unapologetically, able to see it in Yourself.” xoxo Jennifer About the author: Jennifer Annenberg is Creative Director for Jennifer Annenberg Productions.

yoga Styles Know Your
Options
by Meagan McCrary t first glance it appears that yoga is yoga, but take a closer look and you’ll discover a vast world of yoga systems and lineages, teaching methodologies and techniques, different practices and beliefs, and so on. And while yoga is for everyone, not every style of yoga is: How do you know what style, or styles, of yoga is best for you? The first step is to know your choices and understand the difference between yoga styles. The second is to know what you are looking for a yoga practice. Consider your reasons for practicing; what would you like to gain from your time on the mat? Are you searching for a sweaty, dynamic workout? Or are you more attracted to yoga’s restorative practices? Do you have any special needs or limitations? And, most importantly, what’s going to keep you coming back? Below are a few key styles of yoga, but remember there’s a whole vast world of yoga styles and systems. Once you’re in the know you can confidently attend a yoga class of your choosing.
A
Ashtanga (Breath-Centered): Ashtanga yoga is a dynamic, physically demanding practice that synchronizes breath and movement, producing a strong internal heat as you move through a set sequence of postures (six in total). Originating with this style of yoga, vinyasa, which means “breathingmovement system,” forms the foundation of practice. Each movement is accompanied by one breath to create one system of breathing and moving, or one vinyasa. The method is a process of purification, heating the body and eliminating toxins and impurities through sweat. And sweat you will as you flow from one pose to the next to the rhythm of your own breath. Iyengar (Alignment-Based): Iyengar yoga is the practice of precision, paying close attention to the anatomical details and alignment of each posture. Rather than moving quickly from one pose to the next, postures are built methodically with acute concentration and held for longer periods of time while students receive individualized attention from the teacher. Iyengar teachers are very skilled at offering modifications for injuries and limitations, using props as necessary, making this style of yoga appropriate for just about everyone.
pay close attention to any internal sensations you’re experiencing. Beginner friendly, Kundalini yoga promotes a strong inward focus rather than outwardly perfecting the poses, promising that all you need to be able to do is breathe and move and you will have an energetic experience in your very first class.
Bikram: Bikram Yoga is a set sequence of 26 yoga postures
done in 105-degree heat with 40 percent humidity for 90 minutes. The sequence is designed to systematically work every part of the body from the inside out. You will twist, churn, bend, bow and fold your way through postures, bringing fresh, oxygenated blood to every internal organ your body. The heat and humidity serve to speed up the body’s natural detoxifying process, sweating out toxins while boosting your heart rate. There is no flow between positions in Bikram yoga, each pose is performed twice and held from anywhere from 10-60 seconds. In the end, the practice is just as much an exercise in willpower as it is physical exertion.

Would You
Recognize Jesus? by Betsy Whitfill
I
f the Christ, or Buddha returned today...would you recognize Him? A story has been developing, largely under the radar of mainstream news, that promises the world, to the world. A spiritual teacher has returned to the world to inspire us, awaken us to who we really are, and stimulate that divine potential within each of us into a glorious flame of love and light. From that light, humanity will create as never before, radiating the Love of God to all kingdoms, and eventually banish the suffering that defines so many lives today. His personal name is Maitreya, “the happy one.” He embodies the love energy of God and daily sends that love throughout the world, stimulating and uplifting the hearts of all who are open. He appears physically to many people throughout the world, whether they know who he is or not. He heals, he comforts, he inspires joy. For 30 years, the readers of Share International magazine have read letters from hundreds of people who describe surprising, unforgettable encounters with an extraordinary man, or woman, or even a child. They express wonder and joy that someone would know and speak to their innermost cares. Maitreya does not come alone on his mission of rescue, salvage and rehabilitation. He comes as the Head of His Group of Masters, those spiritual giants who make up Earth’s spiritual hierarchy and have guided humanity since our very beginning on this planet. Every major historic figure who has contributed to humanity’s progress and delight has been a disciple of one or another of these Masters. They are experts in every field of human endeavor. Their presence provides humanity with a historic opportunity to advance in all areas of life if we choose to allow them to teach us what they have learned through their thousands of years of living as men and women in the world. They know
the road, the pitfalls, and are willing to share their wisdom with us, if we choose. But we must invite them to do so, for they may not infringe human free will. Every tradition, religious and non religious, expects its Teacher to return with new revelation: Christians expect the return of the Christ, Jews the Messiah; Muslims await the Proof Date: 08/17/10 Imam Mahdi, Hindus Sri Krishna; Buddhists await the Fifth Ref: GPU_081710 Buddha, Maitreya. Historically, at the beginning of each age, a Designer: ads@wholeliving... teacher has come to show the way, point the path for theSize new Size: 1/8 pg (3.5x2.25)" time, usually working through a Senior Disciple. At this start of the Age of Aquarius, for the first time in human history, the Teacher has come Himself. Our recognition of this opportunity will determine humanity’s future, for we must act and make Page resourcthe choice to rebuild the world based on love, sharing es and creating the justice needed for a world at peace.

Happy YOU, Happy World
by Larry Gross
My goal is to help create a world that is more peaceful and loving. I believe one way to create this type of world is for people like you and me to start consciously bringing more happiness into our own lives. If we are going to create a more peaceful world, we are going to have to become more peaceful within ourselves. We can work on a daily and moment to moment basis to become happier. From how we mentally tackle chores and projects to treating ourselves better, opportunities abound to create more peace and happiness in our lives. One of the techniques I use to lessen my daily stress level is to develop a to-do list. My theory is this: When I make a todo list I am doing my best to organize my day in the most efficient manner possible. When I organize my day, not only will I accomplish more, but I will also save time
and money. With the extra time I have created by being better organized, I have more time to relax and do something fun I enjoy! Another practice I use to increase my level of happiness and inner-peace is taking some time to soak my feet. Soaking ones’ feet is one of the best ways to slow down, relax and reduce stress. The water stays hot for about 15 minutes. During this time I close my eyes, shut out the rest of the world and totally relax.

nutrition and recipes from the kitchen of
The Healthy Foodies by Pama Mitchell and Mary Ann Barnes, MD
Probiotics and Prebiotics: Natural is Better Probiotics are food and supplemental sources of the healthful bacteria that live in and nourish our intestinal tract. Though they have been with us for millennia, it has been only recently that we’ve recognized the ability of probiotics to prevent and treat disorders, from colitis and diarrhea to skin diseases and a range of other conditions, which has led opportunists to put them in pills. Manufacturing, processing and storing probiotics can have a dramatic effect on the quality of the supplements. Consumer Lab conducted testing on various supplements of probiotics and found wide variation in their contents, including markedly reduced potency compared to what the product was claiming. Fortunately, however, these bacteria can be replenished not by ingesting these unreliable pills but by including foods with live
cultures in our diets. Examples of natural sources of probiotics include miso, tempeh, and soft cheeses. Processing and heating can destroy the bacteria. Fermented foods, such as yogurt, sauerkraut, and pickles, are great sources, also, as long as they are not later pasteurized by the manufacturer or heated after purchase. A related substance, prebiotics are foods that nourish the bacteria that already reside in the gut. Grains, oats, honey, and vegetables are great sources of prebiotics. Include prebiotics in your diet if you have had recent gastrointestinal illness or have taken antibiotics which may have altered the bacteria in the gut. Prebiotics should be consumed regularly to stay healthy. Here is a recipe that includes both probiotics and prebiotics into one yummy dessert.

Relieving Anxiety through Diet Meditation, exercise, deep breathing: these are all good ways to reduce stress and anxiety levels. But diet plays a role in how calm we feel, as well. Yes, too much caffeine will make us jittery. However, a large helping of refined carbohydrates can have a similar effect. Refined carbs includes most anything made with white flour – such as bread, pasta or everyday baked goods – as well as any food that is high in added sugar. “A big dose of refined carbs causes your blood sugar level to soar and an excessive amount of insulin to be secreted by the pancreas,” writes nutritionist Alyse Levine, R.D. To avoid these effects, well, avoid those foods whenever possible. Stick to unrefined, minimally processed grain products as well as whole foods such as fruits, vegetables, fish, beans and low-fat or nonfat dairy items. You’ll appreciate the better sense of calm and balance in daily life.

Breaking care Health
Technology Captures Auras by Vicki Richter
A
ccording to Dr. Mehmet Oz, professor at the Department of Surgery at Columbia University and Emmy Award-winning host of The Dr. Oz Show, “It’s these energy fields—your life force, your chi, your intangible aura— that we believe will be the next great frontier of medicine.” Now, thanks to Martina Gruber, the developer of a system created in Germany called the Biopulsar-Reflexograph, it’s possible to actually measure one’s energy field, not only in total body area, but also individual organ auras and chakra activity. The Biopulsar-Reflexograph is based on the latest computer technology combined with the scientific basis of the reflexzone and meridian teachings. This development is a result of over 15 years experience with thousands of biofeedback measurements together with aura photos and aura consultations. For several years, Gruber worked with an international research team consisting of biofield researchers, therapists and life energy investigators - many of whom conducted biofeedback measurements and aura photos on thousands of people.
The Next Great Frontier of Medicine
Biofeedback can be divided into two processes. One is the identification of physiological functions, such as brainwaves, muscle tone, skin conductance, heart rate and pain perception. The other is the actual therapy used with the goal of being able to manipulate the functions of these systems and improve the quality of one’s health. Traditionally a person’s “feelings” were not considered part of the physiological response. However, now it is possible to actually see the connection between one’s emotional state of being and his or her physical state of being. This latest technology uses a hand sensor as a receiver for biomedical signals which are taken from the reflex-zones of the right hand. The
18
Living W h o l e Journal
system works with low frequency currents for the measurement of skin resistance compared to Kirilian photography which works on high frequencies. The Biopulsar’s method of measuring is fast, precise, uncomplicated, cost effective and non-invasive. A “reading” takes only 2 minutes for the measuring sensors to simultaneously receive exact “real time” vitality data that includes energetic disturbances and sickness in more than 49 organ zones. The data is presented in total body auras, individual organ auras, and chakra activity. Using this sophisticated information, the analyst can be specific about which areas need to be targeted in order to correct the body’s energy imbalances. It can take years for symptoms to end up manifesting as a full blown disease. Correcting body energy imbalances (too low or too high) can help prevent symptoms from developing in the first place, thereby curbing the instance of disease. The next great frontier of medicine is here now.

Ah-Choo! Is that you? Herbs ‘n Such, by Mimi Tagher
I
f you suffer from seasonal allergies you know that few things can take the wind out of your sails like the misery of red, itchy eyes, constant sneezing, and post-nasal drip. Airborne pollen is the most common cause of seasonal allergies, also known as hay fever or allergic rhinitis. Pollen from trees, weeds and grasses are the primary culprits behind seasonal allergies. Spring allergies are typically from tree pollen; summer allergies usually come from grasses; and late summer and fall allergies come from weed pollen. Without allergy testing it is almost impossible to determine which offenders are causing your symptoms, but the time and season may give you some clues.
Springtime Seasonal Allergies If you have noticed a spike in your allergy symptoms lately, you are not alone. The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) estimates that 36 million people in the United States suffer from seasonal allergies. Springtime is when trees and plants spread their seeds. It is this pollen that wreaks havoc on your immune system whenever you take a breath from outside. Your symptoms are the result of your immune system overreacting and/or mistaking this pollen for a damaging invader. This triggers the release of histamine, which causes inflammation and irritation of soft tissue, which leads to your itchy eyes, runny nose and scratchy throat. Traditional medicine and big pharmaceutical companies have produced countless “cures” for seasonal allergies. Most work by counteracting histamines, i.e. the name anti-histamines. Though these drugs might do the trick, they often come with side effects such as nasal and throat dryness, drowsiness, dizziness, nervousness, and more. If you are looking for a more natural way to combat your allergy symptoms, see some of the suggestions below.
Probiotics: An estimated 80% of your immune system is located in your gut, so give it a boost. Research has discovered that people who take probiotics throughout allergy season have lower levels of an antibody that triggers allergy symptoms, and higher levels of the antibody IgG, which is thought to play a preventive role in allergic reactions.
20
Living W h o l e Journal
Vitamin C: Vitamin C can be helpful in both balancing histamine levels and decreasing the sensitivity and reactivity of our airways to histamines.
Vitamin D: Low levels of vitamin D have been linked to more severe allergies and asthma in children.
Stinging nettle: A natural antihistamine which has long been used for seasonal allergies. Butterbur: A natural antihistamine. A British study found butterbur as effective as the drug Zyrtec. (Note: Butterbur is a member of the ragweed family so if you are allergic to ragweed, marigold, daisy, or chrysanthemum you should not use butterbur). Hot Peppers: Hot chili peppers, horseradish, and hot mustards work as natural decongestants.
Locally produced honey: Though controversial, many people swear that locally produced honey acts as a natural “allergy vaccine”. The honey contains pollen spores picked up by bees and introducing these spores into the body in the small amounts in honey can make the body accustomed to their presence and decrease the chance of an inappropriate immune response.
Neti pot: Use daily to flush out your nasal passages - it
works wonders. You might also consider an air purifier to lower the levels of allergens circulating around your home and office. If you still have problems after implementing the above, acupuncture and EFT have also been shown to reduce and even alleviate allergy symptoms.

Stepping off the Curb and Into Life by Lea Smith
I
enjoy watching the reality show “Amazing Race” because it is so much like real life. The contestants don’t know what is going to happen next, but once they step off that curb and just go for it, they are living large. But first, you have to step off that curb into life. Just like the contestants. They pick a taxi and hope for the best. Sometimes they know where they’re going, and sometimes they have to stop for gas. And sometimes they are so lost they drive the wrong way or in circles. That is life.
about the journey; it’s the fun we have along the way. It’s about being open to anything that will help us get clear and closer to where we really want to be and it᾿s about the sharing with others too so they can share and be a part of our joy. It’s not an ending when you arrive where you decided you really wanted to go, because when that is over, and you savor the memories, it will be time enough for another curb to be stepped over and another journey begins.
Take a Step Into the Unknown Do you know where you are going? Are you being guided? Are you willing to take a chance and step off that curb and let yourself begin a wonderful journey into the unknown? Maybe you have an idea where you would like to go but no idea at the same time. Just trust that inner knowing, and you will arrive exactly where you need and want to be.
Leave the Past Behind You
Stepping off the curb is like stepping into faith. Knowing you are surrounded by God’s love and his angels, there to hold your hand when the human part of you wants to run back to that “known” curb of safety, but also knowing there is no returning to what once was. Because once you step off that curb, it will never be the same curb. It is now part of the past, part of what is now behind you, and you can’t live in the past knowing you are meant for better things ahead of you. It is never the same once you go forward even for one step, even for a small step.
The End is Just the Beginning Sometimes we are not sure which way or where we want to go. But it’s

Touted as the next Celestine Prophecy or The Alchemist, The Last Laugh by bestselling author Arjuna Ardagh offers an exciting, spiritual adventure not to be missed. In this inspiring novel, main character Matt Thomson was contemplating suicide until a chance encounter at a diner changed everything. After calling the phone number slipped to him by a kind waitress, Matt is drawn into a mysterious meeting with an unlikely Guru— Joey Murphy an ex-Merchant Marine, entrepreneur, teacher, and wild man—has lived a life of adventure, celebrity, and deep reflection. His electric personality and humble demeanor make him the perfect teacher, and soon Joey is leading Matt on the roller-coaster ride of his life: a ten day adventure filled with dodging cop cars, playing Blind Manážżs baseball on the edge of a cliff, trading intimate secrets with total strangers, and discovering what Joey calls “the True Teacher.â€? In the process, Matt reluctantly sheds old ideas and learns to love and trust in the power of himself and the universe. “My novel is entirely fiction, but of course the general principles along which the story runs are very much drawn from my own experience. As Joey guides Matt into a number of different experiences, they are very much in line with how my own process of maturation has developed,â€? shares Ardagh, who also authored the Amazon #1 bestselling book The Translucent Revolution which was featured in “Oâ€? Oprah magazine. He adds, “The characters are based on an amalgam of people I have met on my own personal spiritual journey and the Guru was influenced by Ramana Maharshi--a true Indian Guru.â€? The Last Laugh is a modern tale of awakening will take you through the ups and down, the laughter and tears, and the frustration and inspiration of a profound journey to personal freedom. Readers will find sublime wisdom and insights to apply to their own lives encapsulated in this entertaining page-turner. The book is available from Amazon.com, bn.com and with select booksellers nationwide. www.arjunaardagh.com

Clairvoyance or
‟Clear Seeing” Intuitive Insights, by Francine Haydon and Patricia Garry
T
he great visionaries, entrepreneurs and inventors had ideas which they ultimately made real. It took a lot of hard work, passion and tenacity…but it started with a vision. They saw the world differently and were not afraid to dream. They paid attention to their dreams – their clairvoyant messages - and eventually found a way to make them real. The mind is a very powerful instrument. Over the years, many people have written about the power of positive thinking. People can use their minds to move energy, read thoughts, and turn dreams into reality.
Whatever You Can Imagine You Can Create
In your subconscious, whatever you can imagine – you can create! Your subconscious knows no boundaries, no limits, so you are free to create your own picture or video, of sorts, in your mind. Have you ever awakened from an especially vivid dream only to have those same events occur in real life? Or sometimes “see pictures in your mind” when you’re thinking deeply about something? This is your sense of clairvoyance or “clear seeing” at work. Your subconscious mind is receiving informaProoftion Date:from a higher 10/17/10 realm. Everyone is equipped with this sixth Ref: sense, not just Mil101710 professional psychics. Designer:This canads@wholeliving... be an amazing or rather terrifying experience, Size: because you1/16 (3.5”x1)" maypage not know whether the pictures andSize events you are seeing should be translated literally or figuratively. Often you must figure out the symbolic code. The human mind can only relate to what it knows. It has to have some frame of reference to quantify and qualify information soPage that it can be explained. That is why we sometimes misinterpret information. Dig deeper and ask to understand the intended meaning of your vision or dream. Another clairvoyant gift is seeing auras - while consciously, wide awake, seeing colors on or around someone’s body. This is likely to happen when you’re letting your mind

wander, your eyes go soft. You might see a thick cream colored ribbon outlining another person in the room – that’s the etheric layer. More commonly, you will see a layer of color on the person, or perhaps on their arm or head. Make note of the color, and look it up its meaning. Purple, for instance, is the energy of spirituality, while orange is often about creativity.
Déjà vu - A Common Clairvoyant Experience Déjà vu, meaning “already seen,” is another clairvoyant sense. You walk into a place you’ve never been before, and recognize the furniture in the room, know what is going to happen next, and have heard perhaps an entire conversation before. This experience is another powerful example of how much we do not know about our minds. Another common clairvoyant occurance is seeing someone who is close to dying or has just recently died. They may show up in a dream, or you may see them at the foot of your bed, standing there to say goodbye. We are spiritual beings. There are so many experiences that are perfectly normal, but we have been taught to think of them as scary. Just stay calm when you see something unusual and clairvoyant. It’s a sign of your spiritual growth, and a natural part of who you are.
