Are You Really

Thinking?

FRAN BANTING

We all have dreams and visions. Many of us will continue to dream while others will actually attempt to pursue them. Sadly, for most people, their dreams will never be fulfilled.

So, why have dreams if they are so difficult to achieve?

It is reassuring to note that if you are capable of having dreams, you are capable of achieving them.

You just need to follow the process.

Before you can know how to achieve results, you must first decide that you are going to do it.

It is the decision that you make to have your dream that gets the process started.

If you focus on the “how” of your dream, you will remain stuck in its pursuit. You are actually putting the cart before the horse.

But when you first decide to have a dream, your mind will then open and allow the “how” to come your way.

Think about when you want a hot beverage. Perhaps having this drink is going to make you feel really

good. This is the want, your vision. You bring up the image of you having that drink and you feel good just by thinking about it.

But until you make the decision to have it, you will not move towards getting it.

It is that decision that now moves you. Your mind is then open to receiving the “how” of getting that drink.

It is the decision that moves you into action.

Without it, you remain with just the idea.

Dreaming about something does not move you towards it.

Making the decision to have it is what makes it happen.

Learn to make decisions and watch how your dreams magically move towards you a lot faster.

Shift Higher?

C E L I N E C A L FA

Years can go by before many of us finally acknowledge just how stuck and indecisive we are. The world around us is moving without us.

We feel restless but our feet won’t budge. We sit on the fence waiting for something or someone.

Our past experiences create the stories we tell ourselves and to the world. Unfortunately, it is those stories that can easily trip us up and fill us with the should-have’s, could-have’s, and the would-have been. We are gripped by the guilt others have placed upon us and we adopt a sense of unworthiness for something better.

Who says we are undeserving? People call it our ego or gremlin. Personally, I cringe at the thought of that horrible thing living in my head, so let’s call it the young Wounded Self. This Wounded Self has been hurt and sees its role as protector and to keep us safe like a Mama Bear. It’s the Wounded Self’s chatter we hear that continuously reminds us of our disappointments, fears and unworthiness.

Regardless of whether trauma has tarnished a portion of your life, we all have what it takes to

reclaim the Real You. But searching for our truth can be scary and daunting. It means uncovering all the things you would rather leave untouched and buried. Let me reassure you that when the lid is lifted and the emotional contents are felt and acknowledged, you will uncover a confidence you didn’t know you had. You will begin to feel empowered and become inspired to make choices that will help you become healthier and happier.

Underneath all that tarnish is someone extraordinary - the Real You who is so flipping amazing, strong, talented, courageous, passionate and loving! Isn’t it time for all of us to show up, step up and shift ourselves higher?

ABOUT THE AUTHOR Celine Calfa, CEO/Owner of Celine Rose Training is a certified facilitator in teaching the competencies of emotional intelligence.

FIVE ESSENTIAL SKILLS FOR

excellence AS A healer

M A R I LY N PUFF

1. Be committed to your own healing journey. Staying

active in your own transformation keeps you healthy and balanced and is an crucial part of maintenance in your work as a healer. Acknowledging your own challenges and the vulnerability it takes to work through things, helps to keep you humble and aware that life is not always easy.

2.

Be a great listener and you will be guided even deeper.

You will hear the keys to unlock their story, their history and the pain they are wanting to heal. Your gift to them is tailoring your strategies towards what they have revealed about where their pain lies.

3.

Be an active referral partner. In these times of great change and increasing awareness, there are so many amazing tools and therapies being created and used every day. Every person you meet will not always line up to be your client, but they may be the perfect referral partner or a fit for someone you know.

4.

Know how to be present with big emotions. This is crucial for any accomplished healer. Being able to sit compassionately with another's pain while not getting overly pulled in emotionally, creates trust in you as a practitioner and safety for your client. The level of your comfort with emotions is

intuitively communicated and will determine how open your clients will be with you.

5.

Trust that everyone has wisdom to help heal themselves.

We all have an innate ability to heal our bodies, our emotions and our faulty belief systems. It takes an excellent coach or therapist to help someone unlock the keys to their own wisdom. When you trust that everyone has the ability and the strength to navigate even the most horrendous experiences, you hold that faith for them, until they can find it for themselves and discover the answers and perceptions that work for them.

We are all healers, the love we carry and express is a gift to all. Big love often comes in the form of these skills and the awareness we bring to our walk in the world.

dreams ANGELA STRANK

id you know that unresolved issues we carry from the past can block our ability to manifest our dreams? These unresolved issues can be with other people, life situations, or even with ourselves. We call these unresolved issues “baggage” because they take up valuable real estate within our body and mind. They are like energy vampires that can rob us of our joy.

Forgiveness on the other hand, can not only free you from the past, but it can create space for your dreams to take center stage.

Forgiveness is an act of kindness that we would all do well to exercise often. But like all worthy endeavors, it may be one of the hardest lessons we have to learn especially in matters of the heart. To forgive is to cease to feel resentment towards another or grant pardon for a particular act. Resentment is a by-product of our judgments and can block us from moving forward.

Compassion is the opposite emotion to resentment. It is a higher energy emotion which honors mistakes as a natural part of our lives and sees them as needed for any real growth. Compassion does not judge but rather accepts.

In order to understand true forgiveness, we must learn to forgive ourselves. Many would disagree with this statement and argue that by suggesting we need to forgive ourselves’ is somehow implying we are fundamentally flawed. This is not the case. In truth, an experience is neither ‘good’ nor ‘bad’ and as such does not require a judgment. It’s our mind that seeks to place judgments upon experiences so that we may be able to understand and assimilate the information it is taking in. However, without the mind’s judgments, forgiveness is never required. When we can forgive ourselves in all situations, we are in essence giving ourselves permission to let go.

So, what does this mean for you? If you are struggling to have all that you want in your life, perhaps it is time to ask yourself this one important question: Is there anything in your life that you are holding on to that requires forgiveness?

WAYS TO EAT HEALTHY WITHOUT BREAKING THE BANK OR THE

ENVIRONMENT

KRISTY WARE

Here are 5 ways you and your family can eat healthy on a budget.

1. BUY IN BULK

Purchasing things like whole grains, granolas, beans, flour, nuts, seeds and dried fruit in bulk not only saves you money but if you use reusable bags it’s also great for the environment. It’s a win/ win.

2. EAT WHAT’S IN SEASON

Big produce displays at your local grocer and farmer’s markets are great ways to find fruits and vegetables in season.

Buying produce that has been shipped from Mexico or California in the middle of winter will not only cost more than eating them in season, but their carbon footprint will be that much greater.

3. BUY WHOLE FOODS

Whole foods come from the ground or farm, contain a greater nutritional value than packaged options and they cost less than prepackaged, processed “food products”.

4. EAT PRIMARILY VEGETARIAN

Did you know that going meatless can save you money? Yep, making meals with beans and rice is far cheaper, better for the earth and our bodies. Aiming for 3 vegetarian meals each

week will make a difference in your overall health and grocery bill.

5. BATCH COOK Weekends are a great time to batch cook. Making an extra large amount of a meal you enjoy saves you money and time. Batch cooking will help with weekly meal planning and you can freeze a portion for later in the week. Cooking at home also allows you to control the amount of sugar, salt and fat that goes into your food making it a healthier choice than eating out.

Knowing you can make healthy choices even if you are shopping on a budget is so empowering. It really comes down to choice. Making good choices most often sets the stage for happy healthy families.

S URRE NDE RING TO O UR

MORTALITY BONITA S UMME RS

I’ve been losing friends. It’s a part of getting older. Some have succumbed to cancer. Others are currently struggling with illness or injury. At 56, it’s a fact of life that I will sit by the bedside and witness the passing of more of my peers. ’ve had a fair bit of practice in facing death, having encountered mortality from a young age. My first friend to die of cancer did so when we were both 12 years old. Several years later, another classmate died unexpectedly in an accident. I saw my mother through cancer twice by the time I was 14, and at 17, stood by the side of my boyfriend’s mother as she lay dying.

Such close encounters with death engender in me a strange mix of grief and envy. I feel the loss of people so dear to me, and I also know with absolute certainty that they are moving on to their next great adventure, to a world of expansion and infinite possibility. Like a young bird still in its nest, watching others take flight, I can’t help thinking about the day I will join them.

The dying process requires of us surrender. It will take us where it will whether we accept it or not. My friends whom I have lost to disease were doing everything “right”. They exercised, ate well, following all of the recommended protocols. They were the picture of health when they got their diagnoses.

24

INTERIOR WELLNESS

| SPRING 2020

Having a healthy lifestyle feels good, and that’s reason alone to adopt one — not for the purpose of delaying death. Physical death is not to be feared. It is merely a doorway to infinity.

Most of us lose our lives to inattention. We are so focused on the past or the future, that we forget to stay present, exquisitely, painfully, lovingly present, to what is happening right now.

Life is a series of moments in which you were paying attention.

If you want to live, surrender to fully experiencing every moment, whatever it brings.

VISION TA N I A N I E D B A L A

You are falling asleep, drifting and floating into the theta state where the subconscious lives. As you take a deep breath your body relaxes. The awareness of your present life fades gently into an observer position.

The filters, stories, beliefs and perceptions of your everyday life supportively dissolve as your consciousness aligns with the truth of who you really are. Everyday reality pauses and a future timeline begins to weave an empowering version of how your souls journey is to move forward.

As you drift and float you realize that you can see the earth below you like an eagle soaring in the sky.

From this higher vantage point of love you can see yourself in what looks like the future. As your present self observes your future self you perceive that there is a relaxed state of ease, calmness and clarity that your future self embodies. It is a distinctly evolved energy signature from your current self. It seems that there is an acceptance of the value of your own existence that fuels your future self.

As you observe this phenomenon it is as if the very essence of this original disconnection awakens inside of you. This wise energetic essence begins to weave itself back to its authentic connection with your heart and creator. You begin

to feel this wave of energy releasing and re-patterning your energy field with the support of your higher self. Your higher self effortlessly orchestrating a symphony of harmonious emotional, mental and physical patterns to replace old patterns that no longer serve you.

You become aware in that moment that you can reframe your entire perception and experience of your current reality.

Through alchemy your direct experience and all you observed within your future self is transmuted into your current self.

You awaken feeling refreshed and restored.

There is an inner alignment that is deeply felt.

THE IMPORTANCE OF AN

Accountability Coach KYM CAMPBELL HANSON

When it comes to weight-loss, willpower alone often isn’t enough. It’s all too easy for a few pounds to creep back on, even if you think you are maintaining your goal weight.

So many embark on a “diet” or the next fad, perhaps trying dozens throughout their lives, while witnessing old patterns creep in.

Sound familiar? You are excited and ready to lose the weight. You are motivated to say “No” to so many things, then as soon as a holiday or weekend comes along, motivation plummets and willpower goes out the window. You give in and say you’ll start again on Monday. Monday comes and you say you’ll start the next day - the vicious cycle continues.

Here’s where having an Accountability Coach helps immensely. You are kept accountable for your actions, made responsible for your choices and helped to stay focused on the commitment to yourself. Difficult but worth it!

Of course there are things you can do on your own that will help keep you accountable like keeping a journal, tracking food intake, and yes, getting on the dreaded scale. (Remember - getting on the scale is hard but the scale is only the “Messenger” and it’s what you do with that message that matters!)

Doing this alone isn’t for everyone woman. Having an Accountability Coach will help you get you back on track, support you to stay focused, feel positive and empowered and let go of beating yourself up over shame, guilt or embarrassment at perceived failure.

SHAMANIC MOMENTS WITH

DOGS TAMRYN FUDGE

lay back on the Earth, enjoying the sensation of my eternal mother holding me and feeding me her infinite love and support. I feel the cool damp pressing against my back, my bones and my flesh. It is divine, and I rely on this regular time in silence and communion to ground me into my life and my purpose here on Earth.

Then they arrive – Bryssa comes with her snuffly face, pressing thoughtfully against my cheeks and brow. I love seeing the wrinkles of her boxer head fall forward and change the shape of her look from below. She looks into my eyes, and usually stands on my hair – so that I am held in place and cannot escape her soft nuzzly kisses and sweet breath in my ear. Not that I want to escape. Ever.

Peasie rushes to my side, and she wants to kiss me. But I am onto her: I saw her eating the coyote poo on the trail earlier. It’s a decided – no kisses from Peasie today, thank you. She tries to dodge my hand that blocks her from my face and sneak her tongue to my skin. She is fast, and sometimes she dabs me. Ew! This is the way I worship: with my family ensconced around me, and with all of us swirling together in the moment. It has been this way for years: never the “utter silence and stillness” that is prescribed to us. Always someone barking or visiting or interrupting with their whole hearts and squishy faces.

I have learned not to stop these interactions, not to try to make the time “perfect” and “serene”, but instead allowing these shifts and adaptations to invite my entire life to collide together into each breath. I am a dog mama, and everything I do is with the eager assistance and input from my 4-legged crew. It feels divine to have their help, to hear their breath and to receive their joyful support. They show me how it is meant to look: never take yourself too seriously, mama. We are meant to do this together.

On Community

by Erin Maze

or much of my life I felt isolated - I never felt at home, and never felt like I fit in. I had a deep mistrust of groups. I felt like I was better alone and recognized that I felt unsafe in a group setting.

I struggled along like this for many years. Finally, a few years ago, things came to a head. began to encounter masses of ants. I opened my dishwasher one day to find the previous night’s unwashed dishes completely, utterly swarming with ants. The next day ants were in my cupboards, in the honey jar, in my beloved ginger syrup. Nothing was beyond their amazing skill to access. A few days later, on a hike with friends, I stood in a red ant nest and biting ants covered my sandaled feet and swarmed up my legs. Less than two weeks later, on a trip to the Caribbean, I discovered in a most unpleasant way that I was standing in a fire ant nest. Similar experience, much more painful. I recognized there was a higher purpose at play. Ant clearly was speaking to me. I checked in with my spiritual consultant, Therese Dorer, to see what message ant had for me. A queen ant came forward and spoke about the importance of engaging in, being in and working in community.

I vowed to heal my wounds and fear around community and cultivate a healing community of and for women. Instantly, ant ceased to be a problematic force in my life and a beautiful community of like-minded women have appeared.

When I let go of the fear and embraced the healing, a wealth of loving, supportive friends appeared to share the journey.

In these interesting times the old paradigms and ways of

28

INTERIOR WELLNESS

being are crumbling. The patriarchal, competitive governance models we are accustomed to are not working. This is being played out around the world, perhaps nowhere as publicly as with our neighbours to the south. As we move into a more conscious era and the divine feminine and divine masculine become balanced, our governance systems will change from the patriarchal model to a more matriarchal, supportive system. Team work, rather than competition, is required.

It is truly time for women to support each other in the richness of their being rather than believing we are in competition for limited resources.

It is time to stop comparisons of self to others, time to honour our own unique gifts and the gifts of the amazing women around us. It is time to step into our own internal wisdom, our inner “wise woman�, and find our place in loving, supportive community.

THE NINE SPIRITUAL

Gifts GRANTED FROM SPIRIT CONSTANCE SANTEGO

The day I felt like I was losing my mind… how was it possible that there were voices in my head wanting to talk to the lady I was doing Reflexology (foot massage) on? How did the healing technique of rubbing someone’s feet get to the point were the pain in my head was so unbearable that all I could do was pray to God? Was I going crazy, did I have a brain tumor, was I being possessed by a demon? These were the questions that I was asking myself.

I researched many Bibles, I asked lots of questions, I took courses… and I practiced. Open any Bible to Corinthians 1, Chapter 12, Verse, 4… Read it for yourself. The gift of Knowledge, Wisdom, Faith, Miracles, Healing, Prophecy, Distinguishing Spirits and both Tongues are mentioned in the Bible. You probably have read it and just not taken it literally. Well I am here to tell you that what many people call ‘Extra Sensory Perception’ is real and anyone can learn to tune in and learn the technique of reading spiritual energy…

BUT I am going to warn you right now, it might scare the crap out of you…

Practice this…

Take a deep breath and concentrate on becoming the size of a pea in the middle of your minds eye. I imagine that I am lounging in a huge puffy and comfy chair that is floating in the center of my mind. Practice this until it is easy, and you could stay there for hours. All the gifts are inside of you and all you need to learn is how to access them… the 1st step is being comfortable in your own subconscious mind.
