The Ozone then penetrates the blood, lymph and fat.

Therapy is miraculous. Transdermal Ozone, also known as Hyperthermic Ozone and Transcutaneous Ozone Therapy, is a method in which Ozone is introduced into the body via the skin while sitting in a hot steam cabinet. As the pores of the skin open as a result of being surrounded by the warm steam, Ozone enters the body transdermally (i.e. via the skin).

could this happen to me? I eat 90% organic. I consume no sugar. I have an active life style. I am doing everything right. Of course, 50 years of smoking cigars might have a great deal to do with it.

How Much Longer Will You Be Okay With SICK CARE!??! With all of the changes in insurance, making your HEALTH CARE work for you is more important than ever.
W
e currently have SICK CARE, not HEALTH CARE Last year Americans spent $2.8 trillion on healthcare. That is around $8,000 per person. So does this mean that we are all healthy and living well? Absolutely NOT! In fact, we lead the world in heart disease, obesity, and cancer. Astonishingly, 5 out of 6 Americans will be diagnosed with either heart disease or cancer. If we were spending the most money in healthcare and had the healthiest people, maybe it would be worth it. But we are spending the most money AND have the unhealthiest people. In a study by the Journal of the American Medical Association, of 37 different developed countries the United States ranked 37th (dead last) in terms of overall health of the population. SO where are we spending all of this money? When we are sick or in pain, we go to the doctor. We get prescriptions to help cure and prevent illness and pain. What do we do when that medication has a side effect or no longer works? We go back and get more medications for the next side effect. Americans take up 5% of the world’s population, yet we consume 85% of the world’s medications. You would think that if drugs make you healthy then we would be the healthiest nation, and that is far from the truth. We had 1.1 million people die last year because of drugs and these are not street drugs like heroin or other illegal drugs. These are prescription drugs that were prescribed for the right condition, the right amount, the right time. Prescriptions are not the only culprit, a large amount of that money is spent in nursing homes and cancer treatment centers. We have so many sick and ailing people in our population that we are seeing more and more long-term nursing facilities. People may be living longer, but we are not living better. The focus needs to change. We cannot be okay with a health system that has no regard for health. It is time to take the focus off of SICK care and focus on health. TAKE CHARGE OF YOUR HEALTH A lot of people believe that genetics are to blame for the disease we see in our society today, but only 2-5% of degenerative illnesses are actually caused by genetics. So that leaves 95-98% of disease that is caused by lifestyle. The foods we eat, the drinks we drink, and the habits we live are the main cause of the increase in disease. Our offices are focused on HEALTH care. We recognize that health is not just about what you eat and whether or not you exercise. Our offices implement maximized mind, maximized nutrition, maximized nerve supply, maximized
www.tampabaywellness.com
oxygen and lean muscle. We personalize each care plan and work with our patients to establish health and wellness goals that create a healthy lifestyle that maximizes each patients’ quality of life. We offer full health and wellness care that excludes drugs, shots, and harmful combinations or both. Our goal is to make sure our patients live the healthiest life possible. BUT WHAT TRULY SETS US APART FROM ALL OTHER WELLNESS CLINICS It is our dedication to whole health wellness. Our patients are not just adjusted and sent on their way. We spend time focusing on spinal CORRECTION not just spinal alignment. By providing our patients with in office and at home stretching, strengthening, and lifestyle changes, our patients are the healthiest they can possibly be without introducing toxins. It is truly about balance and focus on health. What does CORRECTIVE CARE mean? If your spine and Central Nervous System are “abnormal,” there is a need for corrective chiropractic care. This type of care will restore “normal” spinal position and alignment. By properly restoring normal curves to the spine and aligning the vertebrae, it will eliminate interferences allowing your body to function and heal “normally.” This optimizes your chance to live at 100% of your body’s peak performance. A healthy spine will allow your body to express a normal body temperature, a normal blood pressure, and other measureable norms for the spine itself. There are four primary curves of the spine in the lateral (side) view of the spine. These curves give the spine strength, stability, and flexibility. Any loss of integrity of these curves can affect the function of the nervous system as this is the basis of evolution. These misalignments can put further stress on several aspects of the spine including the soft tissue structures, muscles, ligaments and discs that support the spine and its normal function. Much like braces straighten teeth, it is our aim to restore the proper alignment of your spine. Recent research allows us to now know the measurements and proper alignment of your spine. There is a normal body temperature, a normal blood pressure, and there are measureable norms for the spine. We take the necessary steps to restore the regions of abnormal alignment to normal through whole health wellness. Obtaining the level of normal alignment allows us to cure and prevent disease that otherwise leads to a lifetime of harmful shots and pills. Take the next step and allow your body to function at 100% of peak performance.

Defying Gravity
Get started today! www.tampabayorganics.com hello@tampabayorganics.com
Why would anyone wish to defy gravity? It holds us lovingly to the planet (most of the time), and keeps our stuff where we left it. The car stays in the parking spot and the food, instead of floating away, stays on the table. Hot air rises bringing the cool air in, and the rain trickles down keeping the grass green and the flowers bright. Should we mess with that? Of course, there is the “gravity of the situation”, and the constant downward pressure on our bodies that eventually causes eyes to droop and skin to sag. How can we deal with this inexorable “taken for granted” force in our lives? We deal with it every time we take a nap, or turn in for the night. Our spirit leaves the body, and once again we are free to roam the universe. Sometimes, when we are wide awake and very happy, the spirit soars and does its best to take the body soaring with it. And there are times, such as when in meditation, that the body is forgotten and, for all practical purposes, it no longer exists. Again, we can fly, defying gravity in a most benevolent way. Always gravity is holding our world together lovingly, but sometimes when we tire of being held, tire of being in the world of hot and cold, up and down, we can allow our spirit to drift or soar, lovingly defying gravity. • P u bli s he d

It
The Wounded Healer was my first apartment in Los Angeles. I grew up in the suburbs outside of the city center, but now I felt ripe with new possibilities. I just ended a long, painful relationship, and a dear friend had passed to the other side. It was then that I earnestly began practicing magic and tarot. I “saw” my deceased friend as a spirit helper, created my first altar, and felt so true to myself. “I’m going to eat at a new restaurant each week,” I told myself. I never did. Instead I got stuck on the west side of town in the beach city of Santa Monica. I began to work, play and eventually live there. I stumbled upon the British/Irish community and frequented pubs and taco stands. I connected to my Gaelic roots. Life was wild and exciting…a little too exciting. My overly emotional Leo nature caused me to live life very intensely. “Dance like no one is watching, and love like it’s never going to hurt,” I always say. The problem was I was already a high-voltage indigo. I needed grounding. I suffered from daily migraines and fainting spells. I had a very sensitive nervous system. My third eye and crown chakra felt pickled. Even wearing hats gave me a headache. When I was told I needed to go on medication, I turned my attention to herbs, meditation and relaxation in lieu of pharmaceuticals. I knew deep down that there was a deeper meaning to life. So I began seeking. I asked the Universe for assistance and it delivered a message. One day I received a note in the mail about a healing weekend with a Reiki Master. This class was held right across the street from my house. I felt “chicken skin”—those tingles of recognition as I read the flyer. It felt SO right. I canceled yet another trip to Las Vegas with the girls and signed up. I knew the God/Goddess was giving me a sign. Heal Thyself! After the workshop, I felt as if I were floating—my being was so ascended. I wore grounding crystals to get my feet back to Mother Earth. I would walk by street lights and they’d flicker. When I looked in the mirror I saw a change in my eyes. They seemed almost alien to me. If the eyes are the windows to your soul, had my soul become clearer? When I spoke to friends about my healing weekend, my hands would begin to light up. They became warm and buzzed with energy 10 JULY 2014 • Tampa Bay Wellness
being projected outward. The Universal Light was working through me and I began to honor my own divine nature. My connection to my spirit guides, animal totems and the angelic realm helped me to increase my intuition. My love for Divine Energy grew from an honoring to a knowing as I could now really “feel” the love and “see” with open eyes. This allowed me to channel my power in positive ways. I felt this immediate need to share this incredible, cosmic energy. My health began to greatly improve. My system didn’t feel so sensitive. I had a newfound strength. I walked daily and ate healthy foods. Around this time I also began a Kundalini Yoga practice. My chakras and energy pathways opened up, and I was able to purge current and past lifetimes of junk I had collected. I learned to take care of my body and listen to its signals. I began to be in the flow where your crown chakra connects to your higher-self, spirit guides and Divine Energy. I continued to work on my health. As I unpeeled layers of myself like an onion. At times I felt like the wounded healer. I had to truly experience disharmony in order to help others. I felt what others were feeling so intensely. I believe my calling then was to be empathetic—to feel what Gaia and her inhabitants were going through. I eventually had to learn to filter the emotions and mind energy of others. I gave energy treatments to clients as they lied on a massage table. I would call on the Reiki and let the energy flow throughout the recipient’s body. I tried to set my ego aside and let the energy go where it was needed. After a session, I would often feel energy purging. At times it was difficult to discern between what was mine and what was my client’s stuff. I’d say out loud, “This is not mine. I don’t own this.” Then a release of energy would pass through me like a wave, exciting out my legs into the Earth, the energy recycler. When I channeled energy for others, that energy would also heal the parts of my body that I was working on. I often had clients with needs in the same region of the body where my body also needed healing energy. This sometimes caused me to deeply feel my own karma as I was forced to face it head on. Tears and anxiety would well up and body aches increased as the energy came to the surface. I likened it to stirring up the
muddy river. The muddy debris I had shoved down surfaced and said, “Look at me. Pay attention to my needs.” I had to work through my karmic baggage. As part of my ritual, I would sit in my meditation chair (momma’s throne) with journal, pendulum and tarot cards. I was now armed with my inquisitive tools. I went into a meditative state and called on my spirit helpers, my guardians, my Divine Source,
the elementals and my higher-self. I then called on Horus, the Egyptian God of Knowledge. Horus always helps me to “read” objectively and not believe whatever my shadow self wants to hear. His high advantage in the sky allows me to see the higher side of a situation. I threw a Chakra Spread—one card for each Chakra, starting at the Root Chakra. This helped me see what my energy bodies were carrying. When I thought I “knew” an answer to my suffering, I confirmed it with the pendulum. Sometimes, I would grab a history book or other book of interest and ask deeper past life questions of the pendulum. Once I named it, its healing began. Even if I was not clear what I was sitting with, I would say, “Let healing of the past that is blocking me in the present begin now.” I then channeled healing Reiki energy to clear it out quicker and fill me up with a positive light vibration. That was it. I let it go! I tried to move on and be in the present. The more I worked with the Reiki energy, the stronger it became. My whole being would, resonate so strongly that the Reiki energy would fill up a room when I entered. My chakras opened, www.tampabaywellness.com
By Maggie Batt www.wheelsoflight.org my aura increased and I started channeling energy through my eyes and palms. I could then perceive emotions, mental thoughts and sometimes the weight of the Karma of others in the room. This wasn’t always a pleasant experience. I had to learn to take in the energy--strengthen it and expand it—rather than letting it flow away from me and drain my energy reserves by giving away too much. I learned, sometimes the hard way that I needed to protect my energy in public. I got drained easily by energy vampires. Most vampires didn’t even know that they were draining me. Some had spent a lifetime doing it. Maybe they suffered a childhood trauma and were unable to get their energy from usual sources. I learned to shield properly so I could filter out the bad stuff and filter in the energy I needed to intuit others’ needs. This allowed me to not completely block my heart. In Sanskrit this is called Karuna. Kuan Yin was the MahaKaruna or Great Compassionate
One. She embodied the quality of compassion to all women and children. Her feminine energies of nurturing and forgiveness are re-surfacing. She taught me that what is most needed on our planet is compassionate action. This is not just compassion, but putting that compassion into action. Doing something for others also boosts my own energy. After all, we are all connected. When I help others, it lifts the burden off me where my energy may be stifled and unforgiving. I’ve learned that first; I must be compassionate towards myself. I cannot love others, unless I love myself fully. By loving and knowing who I am, I can speak my truth with clarity. If I fall into addictions and bad habits, it is a sign that I do not love myself enough. As the wounded healer, I tend to heal those around me, before thinking of myself. I try to find time to meditate and receive the energies of the universe. I am a woman, receptive. I visualize what I want, and sit back and wait for the results. When I see myself being too external, like men going about things forcefully, I
stop and go back to my meditative practice which is more feminine. I allow others to compliment me, get things for me and pleasure me. It is okay, I deserve it! Lately, as my 44th birthday approaches, I feel like I am entering a new saga of healing. Old wounds of youth are resurfacing. Chaos can circle me like a storm. When times get overwhelming, I stop and listen to the signs Kuan Yin is giving me. “You are creating these changes yourself,” she says. Sometimes I forget my powers of manifestation. When my words and thoughts are carried on the giant web of consciousness, they get answered quickly. As changes are brought about, I try to hold on to the present moment. Being with my family brings me the most joy. Though I still feel the wounds of myself and others, I take comfort in my connection to the Divine and send this energy to all that need it, including ME. I still dance like no one is watching and love like it’s never going to hurt, but now with a twinkle of time in my eye. • Maggie Batt is an Earth Momma of three homeschooled children.

Meditation’s Dirty Little There you sit. You close your eyes and take a breath and before you even exhale, the IBSC begins to pipe in - you know: the Itty Bitty Shitty Committee. The chairmen of your fears, doubts and insecurities begin to get louder and louder like an episode of The View. A litany of useless thoughts begins to pour across you as if you’ve just entered a waterfall in slow motion. You immediately feel like you suck at meditation. The committee takes a vote that you clearly have no business doing this and the motion is passed. Your eyes open, you figure it was worth a shot, and get on about your day. Sound familiar? The good news is that you just had the same exact experience that human beings have been having for thousands of years. The dirty little secret to meditation that somehow got lost in its new-found trendiness is this: (get ready, it’s a big one) you’re supposed to have thoughts! Meditation is not the practice of not having thoughts. It is the practice of training ourselves how to engage those thoughts and fine-tune our ability to choose which ones we want in our lives. Once we have trained ourselves to see our thoughts for what they are and no longer put each one on a tiny pedestal and bow to them throughout the day, only then can we begin to have less of them. Once we have less of them we will begin to savor the still moments between our thoughts. Marinating our souls in those still moments between our thoughts—that is who we really are. So, meditation requires thoughts for us to learn to harness our own minds. Sure there are some Zen monks and enlightened beings out there who can clear themselves of thoughts completely, but there are also people who can base jump and understand string theory and you aren’t upset you can’t do those things. Stop putting so much pressure on yourself to be the perfect meditator, and join the rest of us in this sometimes frustrating and always beautiful journey toward taming our minds. So what is that one easy step to learn how to meditate? Get off your own case! That’s it. It’s really that simple. Right now close your eyes, take a breath, and get off your own case. Don’t decide what you’re supposed to feel like, 12 JULY 2014 • Tampa Bay Wellness
Secret
look like, think about, or achieve. The moment you get off your own case you will feel a sensation of safety in your own skin, and you might glimpse for the first time what it’s like to love your own company in the intimate darkness of your eyelids. You’ll float in a place with no answers because there are no questions. You’ll get distracted and come back to the sensations in your body and find yourself amazed at your own form. You’ll get distracted again, and then feel your ribs move in and out and you’ll ride the beat of your body and the rhythm of your breath. You’ll get distracted again and you won’t care and you’ll come back to the colors dancing inside your eyes and feel the miracle of gravity anchoring you to the earth and before you know it you’ll fall in love with everything you don’t understand. Meditation is the practice of getting off our own cases over and over again. Whether it be for one minute or 30, our job isn’t to fight through the distractions—our job is to lower our weapons. One of the things I love about meditation is that this practice is a perfect mirror for life. Everything we need to do to sit still is what we need to do to move well in this world. We must slow down, talk less but say more, and be willing to be uncomfortable sometimes. Meditation is life practice. It’s exhausting, ineffective, and a little egoistic to judge yourself at every turn. Lower your emotional fists, close your eyes, and let whatever happens be enough. It’s time to get off your own case. • Roni is an E-RYT 500hr yoga instructor and owner of Bella Prana Yoga & Meditation Studio.

Dr. Rev Dennis Alexander, PhD, DMQ (China)? Dr. Rev. Dennis Alexander is the founder of the Sentient Temple College of Alternative Medicine, and the National College of Medical Qigong. He is the former Florida Director of the International Institute of Medical Qigong. Dennis received his Doctor of Medical Qigong (DMQ) from the International Institute of Medical Qigong in Palm Desert California, and is also registered at the Overseas College of Medical Qigong, Henan University of Traditional Chinese Medicine in Beijing, China. He also studied advanced intuitive training in Beijing China from Master Duan. Additionally, Dennis is an: Usui/ Mayan Reiki Master, Karuna/Shamballa Reiki Master, a Body Restoration Technique Master, a Silva Graduate and is trained in Nutrition Response Testing as well as being a Quantum Touch Instructor and Practitioner. While in the 1970’s, he was a Medical Missionary in Honduras Central America living in the deep jungles for three years with the Mayan people. He was ascended to Mayan Shaman by Master Shaman, Bush Tu’ ul, “Smoke Rabbit.” He combines Shamanism with all the other philosophies bringing to bear a healing modality, which achieves astounding results.
TBW: Where and when were you born? Dr. Alexander: I was born in Milwaukee Wisconsin on October 22, 1941 TBW: What bearing did your early childhood have on who you are today? Dr. Alexander: Oh, big question. When I was four years old, I sat either in my mother’s lap, or the lap of her teaching guru Dr. Bhagat Singh Thind. He wore long white robes and a beautifully wrapped turban. He taught my mother metaphysics, and those lessons stayed with me all my life. Here is his Invocation: “I have always struggled to make myself a man -- if I succeed in that I shall achieve success in everything else. “Accept my work and also accept my life as an ideal to emulate and excel far beyond. You will love the lotus, it is lovable, but you will have to put up with the mud, because without it, you will have no lotus.” Radiantly yours, Dr. Bhagat Singh Thind TBW: What were some environmental influences in your early life and did you travel much? Dr. Alexander: No small questions. When I was a young boy, 5 or 6, my family took road trips every Sunday. We would stop for lunch at a favorite restaurant. As we pulled up to one of these I said to my mother, “I used to live there.” She responded, ridiculous, you have never lived anywhere but with me on 9th Place. I pointed out into the field before us and took her hand. I said, “come.” We walked out into the field and came across the foundation of a house long gone. “Here,” I said. My mother said nothing but just looked at me querulously. It was a past life carried forward.
TBW: What became the pivotal influence in your life that led you to natural medicine and healing? Dr. Alexander: I would have to give my wife, Fern, credit for that. I had no interest in healing at that time in my life. I was an International Photo Journalist, Movie Producer and Director. I had no time for healing. Fern took me dragging and screaming to a Silva course, and then began teaching me Reiki. The POWER astounded me. I began to bring back memories of my mother’s teachings and Dr. Thind. Each time I turned around, a new door opened and a greater power exposed its self until I came to a point where nothing was impossible. TBW: What do you mean by that? Nothing was impossible? Dr. Alexander: We have a sign in the waiting

room. “Doctors treat, God Heals.” My Master, Dr. Jerry Allan Johnson, Founder and Director of the International Institute of Medical Qigong, who also wrote all of the text books on Daoism and Medical Qigong, wrote me last week and this is a quote from that email. “I am really proud of you Dennis. It’s really wonderful how God works through you, to touch the hearts and lives of those who know you. Please keep up the good work... Best wishes always, Jerry” I had sent him a video testimonial from a patient who came down to see me from Pennsylvania. She had breast cancer; two walnut sized lumps in her left breast. I worked on her Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday. At the end of the Thursday session I said, “feel your breast.” She did, and then she searched even more. She then exclaimed, “It’s gone! The lumps are gone!” Then she cried. I thanked The Divine for the intervention. Spontaneous healing does occur. It depends on how connected to the Source you are. When we were in Beijing, there were 19 doctors in the advance training class with Master Duan. He teaches Wuji Qigong. Wuji Hundun Qigong is a 1,200-year-old health maintenance system from China handed down by 101 year-old Master Duan Zhi Liang of Beijing, China. Drawing on Taoism
and Buddhism, the Wuji form conforms to the basic principles of Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) which in fact sprung from Qigong concepts that go back 5,000 years. Like all Qigong in this way, the
enhanced movement of Qi (life-force, bioelectric vitality) is promoted throughout the body as well as the storing and strengthening of Qi for good health. TCM believes stagnant Qi leads to all pain and disease. Proven useful for healing many diseases, this simple style actually has its roots in ancient wushu swordplay and gong fu (Kung Fu) inner cultivation of Qi--as useful for the healer as it is for the warrior on the battlefield. The 19 doctors were asked to diagnosis two patients who were brought into the classroom. We then had to explain our finding to Master Duan. I was chosen to treat two patients. One had uterine cancer and her husband had a brain tumor. They had flown from Greece to see Master Duan. He gave them to me. I was given 9 days to change the course of their cancers. On the seventh day I went to Master Duan and said, “The uterine cancer is gone.” He looked at me and said, “Yes. I know. Now fix the brain tumor.” I expected an “atta boy, or at least, good job. But I got none of that. Why? Master Duan expected me to do it. He chose me because he knew I could do it. Two more days and the brain tumor was also gone. Two years later I was outside working in my garden when Fern brought me the phone saying, “It’s a call from Greece.” I took the phone and said, “Hello, Dr. Alexander.” “Hi Doc, we just wanted to call and tell you we are still cancer free!” TBW: Can you tell us about your education? Traditional and alternative. Dr. Alexander: Here’s a trail of miss-directions. I began in the US Army as a photographer then jumped with the Golden Knights US Army Parachute Team. From there, I went into civilian life and went to Upper Iowa University and majored in Zoology, Plant Morphology and Psychology. Three majors. From there I went to Steilacoom Washington and studied Radiology. When I took the State Board exams, I graduated 4th in the State. Then I went to California Western University where I majored in Marine Biology. I returned to Wisconsin and founded the Medic One Foundation. I went to Honduras and Costa Rica where I met with their Presidents and got permission to open clinics in their respective countries. Several months later I received a
call from the President of Honduras. “We have been hit by a terrible hurricane, can you bring a medical team here in two days?” “Yes sir I can.” I had no doctors, I had no meds, I had nothing. I had two new phone lines put into my parents’ house and began calling. I started with the hospital I worked at as a Chief Radiological Special Procedures Technician and convinced seventy doctors to join my cause. I spoke with every drug company I could reach and got 5,000 lbs. of medications, surgical supplies and x-ray equipment donated. I also got Delta Airlines to fly it, my team and I to Honduras free. At the end of three years in the deep jungles of Honduras with the Mayan people as a medical missionary, I became a Mayan Shaman. I also received a PhD from the Collego de Medicina de Honduras. I then became involved In Reiki, Quantum Touch (I flew to Hawaii and worked one on one with Richard Gordon), and began my study of Medical Qigong, (not to be mistaken with the exercise routine). Medical Qigong is 5 years of graduate school training to treat diseases. That brings us to date. Our latest achievement is becoming affiliated with a herbal pharmacy doing compounding herbs for diseases such as Lyme’s disease, herpes, hepatitis, parasites, Morgellons, Epstein Barr, etc. Most illnesses that Western medicine finds difficult to treat or impossible to cure. TBW: Is there a teacher, educator or mentor that really stands out in your gaining of knowledge? Dr. Alexander: Dr. Jerry Alan Johnson, and Master Duan. continued on the following page

feature TBW: How have personal relationships affected who you are and what you do? Dr. Alexander: “Man Is Deity In Expression.” A quote from Dr. Thind. I believe one of my mentors is Dr. Wayne Dyer. He has influenced me in so much as he led me into the realization that all things are possible. Fifteen years ago, he taught me manifestation. During those years, I was excited about making 65 dollars a week to building to what is now a million dollar empire. All my Masters are powerful straight forward people, full of success and able to pass that knowledge on. Discovering Dr. Jerry Allan Johnson took me back to school at sixty years of age and I became a doctor. TBW: Can you expound on the modalities of medicine and healing that you have learned and practice? And how they work together? Dr. Alexander: Energy and thought are the most powerful things in the Universe. When you combine all the energy modalities together the synergy explodes and tremendous healing power emanates all around you so at times just your presence alone will heal. You exude a power of the Divine from within because the God Force is always connected to and through you. TBW: Tell us how you feel about your connection to Universal energy? Dr. Alexander: I teach and work in what I call “The Web of Power.” It is a connection with the entire Universe. It begins right here in our gardens. This connection is so strongly joined with nature and the energy of all sentient beings, (even sand, crystals, rocks and plants are sentient: i.e. capable of feeling or perceiving). This connection of mine goes in both directions, from me to nature and from nature to me. When I had cancer, my gardens responded to my need by growing Reishi mushrooms all over the property where Reishi mushrooms never grew before. Reishi is a strong anti-cancer agent. When I turned my cancer around and it was gone so were the Reishi mushrooms. None have grown here since. The Universal Life Force gave me what I needed at that time and when the need for that energy was no more The Universal Life Force changed and supplies me
with what I need now. We have a symbiotic relationship. I give and it receives and It gives and I receive. How do you give to the Universe? Through prayer and meditation. AND most important! Graciousness. Never stop thanking the Divine for ALL that is brought into your life; the good, the bad and the ugly. We are given hard times so that we become stronger and The Divine puts obstacles before us so that we might learn how to climb. What doesn’t kill us makes us stronger. TBW: As you have Ascended to Mayan Shaman how do you now feel about the end of the Mayan calendar and current shifts going on? Dr. Alexander: These ancient people believed that time flowed in measurable, repeatable cycles, and they plotted their cosmic calendars, without the aid of telescopes, by watching the night sky. They felt the pulse of planets and charted the paths of the earth, the moon, the sun, and the planets over time. Past and future echoed in their sacred calendars. The Maya cleverly placed their days and months into groups of thirteen, so a calendar wheel revolved every 260 years, to form a katun (13 times 20). For every 400 years of 360 days they marked one more baktun or 144,000 days. Thirteen baktun cycles form their great cycle of 5,125 years. After each of these great cycles, it is as if the universe takes a deep breath and begins again. With these devices, Mayans measured time for millions of years backward as well as into the future! The Maya predicted their civilization would last about 1,900 years and they were right. At the end of each great cycle, the world they said is destroyed and reborn by the great force of the Hunab Ku, the One Giver of Movement and Measure. The Maya believed in harmonic resonance. Their Hunab Ku glyph is a perfectly balanced yin-yang figure and was centered in their model of space and time. As we all know the earth did not crash in 2012. It never was a one date on which everything changes. Our earth does not have one colossal reset button. We are being carried forward on an updraft of cosmic winds, marking many previous journeys through the Hunab Ku to the beginning of a new age. Has our world changed since 12/21/2012? You bet. Two things are happening. Yin and Yang. Black and white. There is a dark cloud hanging over the entire

planet and those of us who dare to touch the Hunab Ku “The Soul of God,” shall be Enlightened as never before. TBW: How do you feel about the future of medicine, healing and lifestyle choice? Dr. Alexander: Gee Keith, don’t you have an easy question? The future of medicine in the West is grim at best. “The US Healthcare System is the Third Leading Cause of Death.” Starfield, B. (2000, July 26th) Is the US health really the best in the world? Journal of American Medical Association, 284, 483485. Quote from article…. *12,000 deaths per year daue to unnecessary surgery. *7,000 deaths per year due to medical errors in hospitals. *20,000 deaths per year due to other errors in hospitals. *80,000 deaths per year due to infections from hospitals. *106,000 deaths per year due to negative effects of drugs.
The problem in the West is most doctors are now glorified pharmacists. Please don’t get me wrong. They’re many great doctors out there doing the right thing. Dr. John Young, MD of the Young Foundation is one of them. He and I work in concert with each other. East and West combined can be the best of all worlds. Here at the Sentient Temple we combine all the most powerful healing modalities, which are available. Our Ozone therapy is outstanding and reasonably priced at $30.00 a session. There are other practitioner’s who do a similar treatment but charge $150.00. We are in the healing business and we try to make everything affordable to everyone. We usually are the last hope for chronically ill people. • 5438 3rd Ave S. St Petersburg, FL 33707 (727) 323-2793 www.medicalqigongflorida.com

Good Health Begins with Good Nutrition
G
ood health is a choice, not a chance! And good health begins with good nutrition. This has been my mantra for the last 14 years, since I started my practice as a Nutritionist & Holistic Health Practitioner. I was born and raised in France, where we learn the basics of nutrition in grade school: how to combine our proteins, healthy fats, and carbs, and in what ratios for optimal fuel; we learn the importance of drinking water, the importance of eating vegetables and fruit, the importance of a good night sleep and an active lifestyle. We learn the importance of family and eat our meals as such around the dinner table, not in front of the TV. The challenge in the United States is that not only do we do not learn any of these health building

blocks at school, but our fast paced culture keeps us in a busy mode mind set. From a very young age, we are constantly rushed, only have 20 minutes for lunch, and do not take the time to eat a meal mindfully. Consequently, we do not pay attention to what’s on our plates, if we even use one! Last month, I shared some statistics that come from the CDC’s website, which are relevant to quote again:
• 70% of meals eaten by North American are not nutritionally adequate • 90% of health conditions that exist today are diet related • 70% of all visits to Doctors are diet related

The first two numbers show that you must educate yourself about food and nutrition in order to not only maintain but also regain your health. The last one is particularly concerning to me. American physicians are undertrained when it comes to issues of nutrition and health. The authority whom patients most wish to consult for information on health -- their physician – “remains insufficiently informed about the role of diet in the prevention and treatment of disease”, concludes a recently convened panel of US nutrition experts known as the Intersociety Professional Nutrition Education Consortium (its prime directive is to raise the level of nutrition education at US medical schools). The report’s authors point out that less than 6% of medical school graduates now receive adequate nutrition training. Despite the fact that the US Congress in 1990 mandated better nutrition education in all US medical schools, it remains inadequate. Whether you are a physician, want to learn more about the heal-
ing powers of food and what nature has to offer, wish to incorporate this knowledge in your work for your clients or patients; whether you desire to change career, or simply want to help a family member regain his/ her health using food and natural remedies as medicine, then the programs and courses offered at the American School of Natural Health (ASNH) in Tampa maybe what you have been looking for. The ASNH provides natural health education based upon the European approach to natural medicine. Our goal is to offer unique, comprehensive and holistic programs in natural health and train competent, safe and passionate professionals. All programs have been carefully designed to incorporate scientific understanding of the human body with traditional, natural methods of healthcare. • Want to change career?

Mind of Light is coming to Tampa Bay!
M
ind of Light is a new Healing Arts Studio on 66th Street North in Saint Petersburg. Mind of Light is the evolution of the work of its Director, Shinai A. Schindler. Shinai moved to St. Petersburg in 2008 and has been teaching and facilitating classes, groups, workshops and individual sessions in meditation, guided imagery and intuitive development. Her passion is to help people uncover or re-discover their innate intuitive gifts and to deepen their spiritual practice in the context of their own inner knowing. Shinai began teaching meditation and facilitating healing ritual in 2002 in Tucson, Arizona, and has offered her intuitive practice and mediumship gifts to the community since 2007. Expanding into the Studio environment will offer a context of embodied experience, where people are guided to learn about and explore their path of healing and remembering through insight, intuition and shared connection. “Your own wisdom that understands reality is your real guru” (Lama Yeshe, 2004). This is the way Shinai approaches every client and each stage in our evolutionary journey. “We all know what to do and what is important within our deepest instincts, but sometimes we need someone to reflect and mirror the path ahead in order to see clearly.” Continuing in the new Studio is her popular women’s group, Women with Spiritual Gifts, Sundays at 6pm. New groups and classes include Meditation for Everyone, Mondays at 5:30pm, an empowering meditation class to initiate the work week, and Magical Thinking, a group exploring themes of shamanism, magic, healing and ritual, Thursdays at 6:30pm. Other wonderful teachers in the surrounding area are joining in to participate in expanding Mind of Light, and classes have already begun. The Grand Opening is set for July 25-26, 11am-7pm, where the community can stop in, have a tour, meet the teachers, buy sacred gifts, and schedule personal sessions.

Eating Clean on the Road
P
lanning and preparation are two of the ingredients of Clean Eating. Both actions and co-ingredients, combined together, might lead you to a sustainable practice of clean eating, as a lifestyle vs. a diet. A diet is temporary; a lifestyle is a life-journey of experiences, one choice at a time. As health and fitness lifestyle coach and a role model to my children, family, friends, clients and social media followers, my intention is to always practice what I preach, as in Lao Tzu’s saying “As is your word, so is your action”. This year I had the opportunity to travel, not alone, but with my family of 3 boys (all under 12) and hubby. It was a planned and collaborated Father’s day surprise gift and combined celebration of a few milestone birthdays, including my own Tasty 40! This became a great opportunity to update my present knowledge and to add to my experience bucket of practicing clean eating, with family on the road and air travel. Here are a few tips from my own practice I feel you might find helpful.
Mind Your 4 P’s:
1. Plan – Plan your food packing as you plan your outfits. Most of us travel by car or by plane. Essentially, You know what your circumstances might be and for what duration of time. Most of us arrange our own travel, and make conscious choices each step of the way. I visualize myself through my daily routines to see what type of activity level I expect to maintain while on the road. What will be available to me in terms of equipment, tools, coolers, lunch packs, refrigerators, microwaves, kitchen, room-service menu options, continental breakfast buffet, and
dining out options on route and at final destination? Don’t get caught in excessive detail, but do your research to have an idea of what might be available to you, so you are somewhat prepared.
2. Purchase – I make a shopping list of items I need to have for me and my family. For my tastes and lifestyle, and depending on type of travel: road or air travel: some of the items are: raw nuts, fruit, protein bars, protein powders, nut butter, vegetables, spices, small boxes of almond or coconut milk, and zip lock bags. From past travels, I already have 3 coolers for road trips, tote lunch bags for parks, beach and long day trips. Invest in small blender, if you don’t have one, such as Magic Bullet. It’s small, portable with cups, with lids, that can be filled with protein

powder, maca powder, and chia seeds too.
3. Prepare – Depending on the length of drive, you can pack more or less. For longer distances, I cut up fruit such as watermelon or pineapple and put in containers. With a cooler filled with ice, I also prepare a dozen of hard boiled eggs as my protein source. I also prepare little zip lock bags filled with carrots, celery, cauliflower, sugar snap peas, and zucchini sticks to satisfy the need for crunchy cravings. Also helpful to have your own trail mixes done and portioned into small zip lock bags with raw nuts mixed with a few sweeter options such as raisins, goji berries, dried apricots, or dates. Preparing Kale chips is a good option too, but it can get messy in the car.

and in the Air 4. Pack – When it comes to packing,
even for a day full of errands, I say: VISA – don’t leave home without it, your Various Instant Snack Alternatives. Always have a clean quality protein bars with you. I have gone through many over the last few years, and currently like Quest as a better option. Likewise, in my purse are often an apple, and a small zip lock bag with your own trail mix. For our road trips, I typically have one bag in the car filled with fresh fruit such as apples, grapes, pears, oranges, clementine (if in season). I pack a few cans of smoked herring or sardines in olive oil or spring water, no refrigeration required, a whole lot of water, and protein bars nearby. I have a bag filled with food in the car with me with easy reach. Coolers are packed in the back, so we open those up at our rest stop after I complete my round of squats, lunges and burpees. Inside the coolers, I prepare sandwiches too make with either gluten free break or Romaine lettuce wraps. There are many options to what you can pack, it’s all about preparing and staying committed to your Health, to Your well-being.
“Watch your thoughts; they become words. Watch your words; they become actions.” ―- Lao Tzu
available as well. The better choices are there, up to you to make them. Once you are at your destination, see if there are local supermarkets or Fresh Market around. Restock on what you need, especially if your room has a small refrigerator (which you can always request when booking your reservation). With planning, you might have a better idea as to what dining-out options are available. And you already checked their menu on line!
to choose a place. Be a leader and pick healthier dining places which might include Sushi bars, or places with Vegetarian or vegan options. Don’t rely on others to drag you into a place where your choices might be very limited. Travel may be stressful, it exposes you to many different things when outside of your normal environment, so be invested in yourself and in your well-being by eating clean. Help your immune system that resides in your gut to support
Skip your breads for starters and enjoy a glass of water instead, with lemon, but without ice. Most restaurants will be happy to accommodate your special dietary requests such as sauces on the side, no salt, and substitute white starches for steamed veggies. For salad dressings, opt for Olive oil with lemon or vinegar. When traveling with a company, don’t give up your right
you better; fuel it with clean and nutritionally sound food. Safe and tasty travels to you! As a compassionate lifestyle coach, in fitness and in health, As in my body, mind, and soul, and from my heart’s spirit - I desire your perfect Health, Vitality, Love and Light! •
Be invested in yourself
While on the road, you see many signs for Burger King, McDonalds, and many other FAST FOOD places. You already know that those options are not the best ones for you. However, when in a bind, I have relied on Starbucks for their Bistro lunch box or sandwich wraps. Most gas stations carry some kind of fresh fruit, so opt for that instead of processed snack bags. At the airports, you have better choices nowadays. I saw a variety of protein bars, trail mix bars, ready-made salads with dressing on the side, coconut water, Greek yogurt, fresh fruit is

RELEASING NEGATIVE ENERGY Defying the gravity of that which is holding us down. Submitted by Rev. Marcella Zinner, M.M.A. ThM.
G
ravity is the energy which keeps us whole and grounded. It is a necessary energy yet, at times, can feel very heavy and ,perhaps, keeps us stuck. However, gravity is also the constant and sustaining energy that allows us to feel safe and protected. We are part of nature, co-exist, and co-create with nature. Our human energies fluctuate and shift constantly throughout each hour and each day. Whether we like it or not we are subject to great influence from others around us as well as the energies in our environment. Even driving up and down the highway affects our energies. All this affects our moods, our personality, our health, our work and play, and our relationships. Experiencing the constant bombardment of negative energy changes who we are. This onslaught of energies holds us down, keeps us from positive happy creative manifesting in our lives. It holds us hostage to our own self. We want to get up and out of these feelings and emotions, but somehow continue to stay stuck. We desire to get up out of this whirlpool of negativity, yet we usually find our way back into the pull of outside negative influencing. Our ego wants more, somehow, our negative energies seem to override and take over. How can we release and shift into a more predominantly positive state of being? How can we recognize and side step the potholes of negativity that surround us?
How does energy affect us anyway? Recognizing your source of negativity is significant. We can experience emotional, mental, physical, or spiritual negative energies. They can manifest in different ways. It is helpful to be able to determine the source, which will then enable you to choose an appropriate healing method. However, keep in mind the human body is all interconnectedbody mind spirit-all interact together. For instance, we may feel pain and stiffness in our body, yet the source may actually be emotional. We may feel sorrowful and sad, yet the source may be a physiological imbalance. We may experience a sense of disconnection from a Higher or Spiritual source, yet this could be a mental shutdown from being overwhelmed. • Research has shown us that an initial focus on relieving physical pain first will allow the mental, emotional, and spiritual aspects to begin to heal easier. • Relieving emotional pain and sorrow will allow the Spiritual side of us to be open to new and different perspectives of a Spiritual connection. • Taking a “nature”(being outdoors) break away from a mental focus of concentrated study or work can easily re-balance and harmonize the brain back to its efficient cognition and memory. • Connecting with a spiritual community can empower a deeper understanding that we are sacred and holy spiritual beings loved and protected by a Creator. Negativity can and will express itself in one, several or many ways. Releasing and healing negative energies can be
PHYSICAL NEGATIVITY: This can be experienced thru the physical body usually due to an illness, pain, inflammation, skin rash, fatigue, and many other visible or internal physical maladies. This type of negative energy can be healed by seeking medical, alternative, and complimentary healings, supplements, medicines, and detox methods. Proper diet and exercise can go a long way towards the healing of physical imbalances. Energy healers can also be very effective in releasing unwanted energies from the body. Sageing (burning the smoke of white sage) or aromatherapy in the environment can change the energy ions in the air to an uplifting pleasant sensation. MENTAL NEGATIVITY: This can be experienced thru the mental mind as whirling thoughts around and around in your mind. Somewhat like a constant barrage of thoughts coming and going with no conscious thinking. Mental negativity exposure can also show up as forgetfulness, confusion, inability to focus or concentrate, irrational thoughts, and inability to make decisions. Mental energies can be calmed by taking a walk outside in nature, a swim in the ocean, journaling your thoughts, listening to calming music, playing with a pet, sports, knitting, yoga or any kind of activity that comfortably distracts you for a mind break. Talk therapy is helpful as well as proper supplements to ease the anxiety and/or imbalances. EMOTIONAL NEGATIVITY: Our feelings, emotions, general sense of imbalance, and disharmony can describe emotional negativity. This can be as subtle as a feeling of discomfort or sorrow to a severe emotion of depression, anger, rage, or fear to name just a few. Emotional healing can, at times, be balanced and adjusted to a more normal state with a quality diet, exercise, proper supplements or vitamins, and adapting a de-stress approach to life’s challenges. Counseling, therapy, talk therapy, or Spiritual counseling can be very beneficial towards releasing emotional negativity. Energy healing such as Reiki, Healing Touch, ThetaHealing, Acupuncture, Body talk, and kinesiology can relieve the anxiety and overwhelm one experiences during emotional overload. SPIRITUAL NEGTIVITY: We can, many times, feel and experience a sense of negativity that surrounds or encompasses us in an overwhelming way. This may be energy from an outside source such as another person’s addictions, behaviors or unstable emotions or mental state. Other times we may sense a negative pull around us that clouds our senses and distracts us. This may be due to energy spirits that may
be attached to someone around you or negative entities around death or dying. Just plain doubt about a Higher source or Creator or your doubt about a spiritual understanding can also bring on a negative spiritual experience. Spiritual negativity is, generally, an indication one is seeking understanding, change, and a higher sense of self in the world. Using sage or essential oils around your environment can dispel negativity and shift the environment to be more pleasant and uplifting. All kinds of energy healing work as mentioned above are helpful. Seeking guidance from a Spiritual Counselor, Minister, pastor, Priest, Rabi, or a spiritual community can clarify confusions and offer support and understanding. RESISTING OUTSIDE INFLUENCES Many incoming negative energies are the result of outside influences. If you will get in the habit of saying, “Return to your source”, whenever a negative thought or feeling enters your consciousness, you will eliminate a good percentage of the negative energy you have to deal with. Be persistent. Return the energy to its source, even if you don’t know the source, several times before initiating any efforts on your part to deal with or dissolve it. If, after doing the above technique, you find your attention focused on something negative, consciously change the situation, thought, or feeling in your consciousness to something positive you would want to manifest. Use some concerted effort and will power to visualize and imagine the positive instead of the negative manifesting. CLOSING ENERGY CONNECTIONS Other people can drain you of energy even when they are miles away from you. These people are not aware that they are draining your energy and have no desire to hurt you. These are probably the people with whom you have the strongest emotional and psychic connections. They need emotional support or some other kind of interchange with you. We can give each other emotional support without having to deplete our vital forces. People in the service professions also find that their clients or students are draining them. Practicing release and letting go of negative feelings, thoughts, and energies on a regular basis can help us all maintain a balanced and harmonious attitude and instill uplifting, positive energies. Practicing positive practices and keeping an attitude of gratitude, we help us stay in a positive energy. We do not need to feel pulled down or stuck with the dense gravity of negativity. •

A Journey to Meet John of God
M
y journey to Abadiana to meet John of God started when I received an email from a friend who lives in Boulder, CO who assists a Casa Guide in taking groups to Brazil for healing. That email lead to a search on the internet and watching several YouTube videos. On YouTube, I found a version of the movie, The Healing. The movie was marvelous and led me to reading Heather Cummings book, John of God: The Brazilian Healer Who’s Touched the Lives of Millions. After seeing the movie and reading the book, my plans to visit were solidified. So, after a business trip to Sao Paulo, I flew to Brasilia, the capital of Brazil and the closest airport to Abadiana. After one night and a short tour of Brasilia, a taxi driver from Abadiana picked me up at the hotel and drove me to Abadiania. I checked into my pousada (a pousada is similar to a rustic B&B). All the pousada near Casa Dom Ignacio – where John of God works -are familiar with the protocols of the Casa including how to care for people after surgery. My pousada became ‘home’ for a week. Upon arrival, my Casa Guide introduced herself and explained the process of meeting John of God. After settling in to my room, I walked around town. Abadiana is a small town from Saturday to Tuesday. On Tuesday the town swells in population since John of God works on most Wednesdays, Thursdays and Fridays. The night I arrived, I met a Danish
by Cy Englert
couple in the pousada. The couple were in their late 50’s and from a small town about 1.5 hours North of Copenhagen. They had seen John of God two weeks earlier, toured the country the second week, and returned to say farewell and thank John of God. I adopted this couple – or they adopted me -- for the first couple of days. That night, I heard his story. Working as a principal at a high school for more than 25 years, he lost his sense of smell 25 years earlier from working in an office building where falmadeaheid was used in its construction, prior to the negative heath impacts were known. Smell depends on sensory receptors that respond to airborne chemicals. In humans, these chemoreceptors are located in the olfactory epithelium — a patch of tissue about the size of a postage stamp located high in the nasal cavity. He completely lost his sense of smell due to the falmadaheid destroying those sensory receptors. Over the years, he saw numerous specialists but none could help. It sounds like such a little thing to lose until you realize that your sense of smell accounts for 20% of how we experience the world! Scent can be a powerful memory trigger. Hearing the joy in his voice and seeing the welling of tears in his eyes, he explained how exciting it was to be regaining his sense of smell. After receiving a non-physical surgery from John of God and sleeping most of the next day, (name) came back to the Casa two days later to meditate at the Casa. It was there he first noticed the smell of the flowers in the room. Despite it being a place of silence, he excitedly told a medium of the Casa that he could smell the flowers! He said that since that day, his sense of smell has been slowly getting stronger. I was very touched by his joy of being able to smell food, flower, and the scent of his wife. Two or three days later, a young gay couple in their 30’s arrived from Greece and was staying at my pousada. They were told by John of God to return one year after their first visit and he would be healed. Their arrival marked that anniversary. That night, the story they shared with me was the younger guy came to Abadiana a year earlier on crutches and suffering from the worsening Multiple Sclerosis. The drug therapy was making him ill and as the disease worsened. They said that when they left Brazil a year earlier without the crutches! And upon returning to Athens, his physician was astounded that the disease was in remission. Over the year, he reduced his use of prescription drugs, and upon arrival, was no longer taking any drugs. So by the time I met John of God, I had already had heard two firsthand accounts of miraculous healings. In the next article, I’ll share another story of a physical surgery of a friend I met as well as my own experiences. In the meantime, I invite you to watch the movie, The Healing. You will hear testimony of physicians and learn about John of God’s crystal bed which is one of the healing modalities used at the Casa. I was approved to purchase a Crystal Bed and share it with others who are in need of healing. The Crystal Healing Bed from Casa Dom Ignacio resides at Crystal Corner Metaphysical Center where you can schedule time on the bed. • Cy Englert 4609 Autumn Palm Drive Zephyrhills, FL 33542 USA (360) 250 - 6090

Empathy&the Energy Body
E
mpathy is the art of sensitivity toward other people’s concerns and their individual suffering. Empathy can be cultivated as a practice through techniques like mindfulness meditation which open us up to the value of feeling what other people feel and how they experience the world differently than we do. For many of us, it is hard to make ourselves “walk in someone else’s shoes,” yet it is a worthwhile intentional practice that deepens the experience of compassion in our daily lives. For some, empathy goes beyond being an abstract or occasional practice and instead predominates life experience. Those who are empathic, often since childhood, have the gift of sensing others deeply and often knowing exactly what they need or how they have suffered. They may sense social situations, natural environments, or animal suffering just as deeply, and face torrents of emotional and vibrational information within everyday reality. Through my own life’s work I have learned that being empathic is a form of clairsentience, an intuitive awareness where information comes by feeling what I know. When I use this gift in service to others, there are great benefits and rewards. Many caregivers in a variety of professions are empathic by nature. Often people go into these professions because they can so deeply sense and therefore provide for the concerns of others with ease. These same people also get “burned out” easily because they tend to take their work home, assuming the feelings, pain and sometimes even the illnesses of the people they serve. The separation of self from others can be difficult, and the ability to set healthy boundaries of when to assist and when to let go is challenging even on good days.

RE-BALANCE
E
very part of our body; cell, bone, tissue and molecule was born with a normal healthy frequency of vibration called “Chi or Energy”. During the early years of growing up, we build layers of imbalances and blockages of this vital Chi/Energy. This imbalance/blockage stops or limits our normal frequency to our mental, emotional, spiritual and physical levels of our well being. We literaly “get out of tune or sync” with our own natural and normal frequency. The Chi/Energy can be returned or restored by the use of powerful energetic tools or modalities such as ACUPUNCTURE-both needle or Acutron/ Electrical; CRYSTALS or STONES; SOUND (Tuning Forks, Mantras, Crystal Bowls, and Prayer); and your own SENSING SYSTEM CALLED CHAKRAS, which are energy vortexes within your own body.

JULY - 2014
By Imsara
ARIES You can begin to depend too much on your own strength or efforts while others around you may be feeling underappreciated or unseen. Spend some time sharpening your objectivity as you evaluate the situations around you. Step back.
TAURUS There is a mix of elements trying to take form within your life. Because things have yet to gel on the inner plane, have patience with your ability to manifest. Put your focus on just moving forward in steps. The worst thing to do right now is nothing…do slow but steady!
CANCER Support and generosity towards others can help to shore up your confidence as well as give you new information on what you are capable of. Inspire others via sharing of your vision and moving past remaining insecurities. Try to see how what you do helps to foster happiness within the lives of those around you.
LEO OOOPS—hit a speed bump of stagnation—beware of not seeing the potential for what surrounds your life now. Any useful ideas or insights can be met with indifference yet your key to success lies within making new goals and to expand your contacts. You are not in Kansas anymore.
LIBRA Personal and family relationships can evolve into new areas of insight and satisfaction. You can strengthen bonds by communicating clearly yet kindly what is in your heart and mind. The worst thing you can do is leave others to their imagination. Speak what you feel—it will clear the air.
CAPRICORN What do you need to truly nourish your heart? Judgement of self or others is not one of them. Through the supporting of others you can achieve greater things. Listen to the music…it is playing now….
AQUARIUS SCORPIO Your life is reflecting the seasons and it can seem that some things are blooming while others are dying— there is a need to let go of what you no longer need. Do not offer counsel unless you are asked for it and eliminate the superfluous and unnecessary—this includes in your social circle.
To be adaptable means knowing when to move into action and when to rest. There is no holding back involved, it is more effortless and you feel at ease. Follow the cycles threading their way through your life now. Be flexible and do not waste your energies in things that do not concern you.
PISCES VIRGO
GEMINI Grace bank delivery! Your social world and connections will continue to expand with ease. Let the ideas flow, choose the best ones and plan to move forward with them as July comes into view! Put creative self-expression at the forefront.
You are faced with certain situations that can only be transformed by taking gradual yet persistent steps. Things that endure typically take the most time to build. Envision what you want to accomplish and make a long-term commitment, recognizing the value of your goals and abilities.
SAGITTARIUS You may be in a situation where you and others are dependent on each other. One way to handle it more effectively is let go of all your expectations. Evaluate where you may be working against one another rather than cooperative effort. It can be subtle sometimes.
Facilitate, attend and support groups of like-minded individuals coming together. Work towards uniting kinds of goals. Dreams have more importance at this time—they can both repair the past and alert you to an emerging future potential.
