Our Founding Vision…

“I was standing on the highest mountain of them all, and round about beneath me was the whole hoop of the world. And while I stood there I saw more than I can tell and I understood more than I saw; for I was seeing in a sacred manner the shapes of all things in the spirit, and the shape of all shapes as they must live together like one being. And I saw that the sacred hoop of my people was one of many hoops that made one circle, wide as daylight and as starlight, and in the center grew one mighty flowering tree to shelter all children of one mother and one father. And I saw that it was holy.”

Black Elk’s Vision (1862 - 1950)

Our Beliefs...

We believe all people are One! And that this great truth lies deep within each person’s heart! We dedicate the Guide to the One Mother, the One Father and their children (you and I)!

Though we speak many languages from differing nations, professions, religions, and realms, as we start to sing the language of LOVE we begin to become aware that we are all singing the same song!

IN LIKE A LION OUT LIKE A LAMB Follow me on a short journey to finding your own “Personal Power”...

From the 12 Powers of Man Power: Strength Chakra: 3rd Solar Plexus Location: small of back Color: Light green like spring Deciple of Christ: Andrew Area: Responsibility, Integrity, Courage, Convictions Solar Plexus: solar plexus is a complex of ganglia and radiating nerves of the sympathetic system at the pit of the stomach. (google) Sympathetic Nervous System (SNS) is part of the autonomic nervous system (ANS), which also includes the parasympathetic nervous system (PNS). It is often termed the fight or flight response. (google) The “Fight or Flight Response” is our body’s primitive, automatic, inborn response that prepares the body to “fight” or “flee” from perceived attack, harm or threat to our survival. (google) Google falls short of telling you that this system includes “freeze” so it’s really “fight, flight or freeze”. And more importantly it does not include “get,” all the good that comes to you is also filter through the solar plexus so it’s “fight, flight, freeze, or get”.

So your persoanl power lies in knowing that “all experience” “STRESS & EXCITEMENT” is read, measured and responded to in your GUT in relation to your own personal sense of Responsibility, Integrity, Courage, Convictions.

This first day of spring marks the beginning of the season nestled between winter, the coldest time of year, and summer, the hottest time of year.

Earth: Astrology’s Missing Planet – Reconnecting with Her Sacred Power

By Chrissie Blaze There is an awakening now taking place on Planet Earth. An evolutionary current is sweeping through the hearts and minds of many, just as we face the threat of total annihilation. Chaos, terror, and ecological footprint breakdown coexists harshly with peace, and integration of the burgeoning “New Age” movement, the gradual shift towards the desire for Oneness.

Time, that measurement of change, is speeding up and, as a result, we feel pressure. Whether this becomes the pressure to change, evolve, and to embrace new ways of thinking and feeling, or the pressure that causes us to implode is up to us.

We are now witnessing both ends of the spectrum on planet earth, and there’s really only one choice. The winning side is, and always has been, the side that creates harmony and peace; love, healing, and selfless service.

Every act we perform--good, bad, and indifferent, defines our future. An act of terrorism or mass murder will take the perpetrator down into the depths of their own hell, life after life, until at some point in the dim and distant future, the lesson of love – the intrinsic nature of us all – is learned.

By reconnecting with earth’s power, we can help ourselves find harmony and sanity amidst the chaos, and transform our way of thinking. We can heal ourselves through more consciously touching the sacred body of our Divine Mother.

In my new book, Earth: Astrology’s Missing Planet, I explain that the earth in your birth chart is opposite your sun, and what this means. The book also includes a section on these Earth Signs so that you can awaken more fully to this powerful influence. This is a non-technical astrology book that can be enjoyed by anyone interested in astrology and new thought.

I am launching a new astrology group, “Cosmic Café: Where Astrology Meets Spirituality” at The Aetherius Society on Saturday, March 17 at 2:00 p.m. Please see The Aetherius Society’s ad for details.

Chrissie Blaze Chrissie Blaze, is an ordained priest/teacher in The Aetherius Society. An international speaker/radio host, she was a disciple of The Aetherius Society founder, Dr. George King, for over 20 years. Chrissie resides in Michigan, promoting Dr. George King’s teachings. www.aetheriusmi.org; www.chrissieblaze. com; www.astrologycity.com

The question we may ask is, “Do we have enough time left on the beautiful planet we are destroying for us to find harmony amidst the chaos? What can we do to change? What can we do to help?”

Astrology, as well as the enduring Spiritual truths, can guide us and offer us a mirror by which we can, in a detached way, see ourselves authentically and see the way forward that we should take.

Prosperity, Love, and Health are Chasing YOU!!

your environment, you are in a fight or flight mode. Stop reacting to your environment, accept “what is,” and then open to what wants to emerge. Live and move from a state of resistance and reaction.... and you will recreate your past. Every problem is a new way of thinking waiting to be realized. Opening your mind to greater possibilities, you begin to speak and act in more empowering way.

By Barbra White

Happy St Patrick’s day. Do you put your life in the hands of luck? Or, do you believe life is just happening to you? Wouldn’t you like to live and demonstrate a deep cosmic knowing of the prosperity that wants to come to you?

“L.U.C.K.....

Living Under a Cosmic Knowing.” ~Dr. Michael Beckwith Prosperity, Love, and Health are Chasing YOU!! As I look into people’s energy fields, I can see the answer and energy waiting to come to them!!! I can also see the core limiting beliefs that are blocking their good. In my work, I help to move the limiting beliefs and unblock the self-sabotaging pattern.

However, you can begin to step into greater good right now by choosing to be just a little more open. Be open to more good than you can imagine. Be open to allowing the answer, healing, and prosperity that is seeking you out. Let your blessings catch up with you. Slow down! Open up! You will be amazed at how loved you truly are. The solution, prosperity, and healing is already done. You must make space to let it in.

When the problem is created the solution arises.

Just as there are a yin and yang.. a dark and a light... your pain can give rise to great good. Sadness can bring new understandings of empathy. Anger new understandings of self-respect. Tragedy can birth more love within the heart of humanity.

When the water hits the rock, it creates a ripple back. “and to every action, there is always an equal and opposite or contrary, reaction.” ~Isaac Newton The solution to your health issue, debt, or problem you are facing, has ALREADY been created. You do not live in a vacuum immune to the natural law.

Every issue you are facing has a solution. Be quiet and listen. You ONLY need to get still. However, this is easier said than done. Many of us have raced, chased and lived our lives in a perpetual gerbil wheel for 20,30,50 years. Not believing there is good that wants to come to you, will keep you stuck and chasing the elusive carrot. Acceptance is not complacency. When you are reacting and complaining about

The solution is within the problem. You must believe to receive. Believing there is good for you... (or a tiny bit of faith) opens you to the good that WANTS to come to you.

Nature seeks to emerge, evolve and grow.

The universe is growing and expanding. God seeks to express, live and be demonstrated through you. Let go and open to the good that wants to come to you. Homeopathic medicine demonstrates that the antidote is within the poison. Poisonous plants have the energetic antidote within them. Arsenic in crude form gives someone fatigue and heart attack. Homeopathic Arsenic supports the heart and treats fatigue. You cannot separate yourself from natural law or divine intelligence. You are amazingly and magnificently made.

You don’t have to push or create the river. The river of well being or Grace... is already there for you. It is already done.

YOU DON’T NEED TO KNOW HOW. Stay OUT of HOW HELL by saying “I don’t know how...but I know it is good.

Source has this already figured out!”

Believe the impossible dream. If your dream doesn’t feel impossible, it is not big enough. You do not ask for too much you ask for too little.

“Ye ask, and receive not because ye ask amiss” James 4: 3.

Amiss means weak or small. Ask for more...ask big. Do not ask to just “get through,” ask to be transformed, and awakened to JOY. Do not ask just to make it to the next pay check.... ask to prosper and live in the overflow.

Your dreams are written on your heart by God. Everyone has a gift within them and a divine purpose. Everyone is intuitive and can tap into the Infinite Creative mind if they only get still and open. Depression is repression of the greatness within you. It is time to let it out.

Rejuvenation Through Healing and QiGong

When this happens, our liver is constantly being challenged and our energy flow continually impeded. It gets more and more difficult to undo the damage. And the more stuck our energy becomes, the more easily stress affects us -- and so it becomes a vicious cycle.

By Gary Blaze

Also, the liver stores the blood and aids in the circulation of Qi and blood; it regulates tendons, ligaments and muscles and its health reflects in our ability for flexibility and movement. It affects many parts of the body, including our nails, eyes and our emotions. When the liver is in good health, kindness, benevolence, compassion and love are more easily expressed.

If you are a healer, it can prove helpful to have an understanding of the Chinese energetic healing theory and the associated harmful emotions that can be related to each organ, both from a diagnostic and therapeutic perspective. For example, anger is associated with the liver, and grief with the lungs. If you are someone interested in improving your health and well-being, then this information is for you as well.

Spring is the time of year associated with our liver energy, and our health in spring is influenced by the health of our liver and the energy it provides.

When our liver energy is balanced in spring, we feel uplifted with a sense of inner ‘softness and kindness’. When the liver is out-of-balance, a ‘revved-up and restless’ feeling — inside and out — is common.

From a western perspective, the physical liver is a very important organ that stores blood, processes toxins and poisons, and aids in our overall immunity. However, from the perspective of the Chinese healing arts, the liver has a far greater influence and responsibility.

The liver is a very important organ. It has a major influence on a person’s overall well-being, as it is responsible for the smooth and effective dispersal of life force (Qi) throughout the body.

When something blocks this energy flow throughout the body, the liver gets agitated, which can cause a variety of different symptoms often referred to as, Liver Qi Stagnation.

If the liver Qi is already somewhat blocked, these symptoms will manifest and flare more strongly this time of year as spring approaches, as we put additional strain on our liver Qi. Some of the most common symptoms of stagnant liver Qi include the following: headaches, particularly migraines; PMS and menstrual cramping; tight shoulders; depression; anger; frustration and irritability.

Our nervous system also reflects the health of our liver and, in our society, one of the most common causes of stuck liver Qi is stress, particularly stress that is chronic, extreme, or unexpressed.

12

Working to improve the functioning of the liver system is in your best interest. With a free flowing liver system, your joints will be smooth, your eyes bright, and the energy in your body (both physical and emotional) will flow freely. Liver Qi Stagnation in particular, is a very common imbalance found in our modern western society. Being aware of the more mild signs of the imbalance and working now to correct them can avoid more serious issues later and help us to live better in the present.

So what can we do to keep that liver flowing smoothly in the face of all of our everyday life stresses? Apart from diet, one of the best ways to get the energy moving is to move. Different types of exercise are better for different people. Some people’s constitutions do really well with vigorous exercise. Other people are much more suited to slower, gentler forms of movement such as yoga, walking, or Tai Chi. I have personally found QiGong to be exceptionally beneficial and can wholeheartedly recommend it to everyone.

Spring does not last forever. Use its bountiful energy wisely, so that the crops you sow -- again, with yourself, in your work, and in your life -- are those you wish to harvest.

Please join us for the class, QiGong Calm, which is a rejuvenating class to be held at The Aetherius Society on Saturday, March 10. I will teach simple exercises for everyone and the class will be rejuvenating and help you feel ready for the energies of spring. For further details, please see The Aetherius Society’s ad.

An international teacher/author, he was a disciple of Dr. George King, Founder of The Aetherius Society, for over 20 years, and supports Dr. King’s work at The Aetherius Society, Royal Oak, Michigan.

How to Read Oracle Cards: Gratitude

By Tatiana Scavnicky

This month’s oracle card highlight is the “gratitude” card, a favorite of mine.

It’s stunning on so many levels and drips with symbolism. It’s the perfect card for the coming spring. The winged being could be the season’s poster child. The gorgeous images will stand out for clairvoyants, the people that get intuitive hits from visual cues. I go indepth on how to get your intuition in my workshops. On Wednesday, March 7, come join the Intuitive Circle in Plymouth, Michigan, for how to remove blocks to your intuition. Everyone has a method, one that ignites the rest, so to speak.

It’s quite easy to figure out. Once you discover your method, a whole new world will come alive.

I’ve been using this deck to give readings for over three years now. I’m constantly seeing new things in the cards.

Here is a recent discovery I take total delight in. I now associate this card with Mother Mary and the goddess, because it looks like the maiden here is holding a child at her chest, wrapped in pink blankets. If I pulled this card for someone, they might be working with Mother Mary in their spiritual work, or praying to her. A newborn child is a sign of new life. Spring is the ultimate sign of renewal and rebirth.

Pink represents innocence and sweet love. New love. We will soon fall deeply in love with spring. Her green tendrils will wrap around our hearts. Her soft flower petals and crispy mornings will wake us from winter’s hush.

If this card came up in a reading, the obvious theme would be gratitude. A royal gold and white mirror, beautifully

tells how our thoughts have energy. What we are thinking about, and feeling about ourselves and our lives, will be reflected back to us. Gratitude is the great attractor of what we desire.

The crown above her is a symbol of the Divine. The card says to expect wonderful things to happen when you combine your most desired and impassioned intentions, with Spirit’s unlimited love and potential.

This card could also mean a baby is on the way, or a child is going off to college, or a girl is becoming a young woman. This is a renewal card. It could be a marker of someone coming out of a long and challenging illness, full of hope for a bright and healthy future. It could also mean a proposal is on the way, or engagement announcement.

Know Your Hormones

By William H. Karl, D.C.

One of the many fascinating things I’ve witnessed throughout my 30+ years as a chiropractor and wellness doctor is the way in which someone’s reality can completely shift in a matter of seconds.

Have you ever been entirely convinced of something and then, perhaps all of a sudden, see it differently?

Think back to when you were a teenager. Teenagers and pausals (a word I may have just made up to refer to menopausal women and andropausal men) are often in hormone storms. As a result, these folks have lots of reality shifts and emotional storms due to the power of their changing hormone levels.

If you’re not in one of these groups, don’t feel left out because the chemical-laden world we live in will probably take your hormones (and you) for a wild ride at times, too!

There are at least 50 different hormones in the human body, and probably even more as some last only moments before disappearing.

I’m focusing on just three hormones (estrogen, progesterone, and testosterone) because they are so inexplicably related to health and sanity.

While in different ratios, both men and women depend upon the proper balance of these hormones for maintaining good health and vitality. While all three are equally important, the most potent is estrogen; and there are four different types: estrone (E1), estradiol (E2), estriol (E3), and estetrol (E4), only produced during pregnancy. While estradiol (E2) is the most potent form (due to its tenacious nature is and responsible for most of the problems), I’ll simply refer to it as estrogen.

The primary purpose of estrogen is to guide a woman’s body through sexual maturity, pregnancy, and childbirth.

Estrogen drives the first part of the menstrual cycle. When estrogen levels 14

drop, an egg leaves one of her ovaries.

High estrogen levels interfere with the release of an egg so pregnancy cannot take place. Prescription birth control takes advantage of this fact by keeping estrogen levels high.

Many women were harmed by taking estrogen in the clinical trials by the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI).

Experiments using hormone replacement therapy (HRT) were stopped after five years (three years early) due to an unacceptable increase in the very diseases it was supposed to stop. Other studies have since identified and listed estrogen as a carcinogen. Now we are aware that unbalanced levels of estrogen in a woman’s body may lead to acne (not only in teenagers), weight/fat gain (hips to the knees), sexual dysfunction, fibrocystic breast disease, uterine fibroids, endometriosis, ovarian cysts, cancer, and more.

Estrogen imbalances also produce a fibrous net called fibrosis that can strangle muscles and organs eventually leading to one’s demise. Proteolytic or systemic enzymes can break up this fibrous net.

The pharmaceutical estrogen used in the Women’s Health Initiative (WHI) trials derived from a pregnant mare’s urine is still being prescribed. Estrogen is now commonly found in water supplies in addition to other endocrine-disrupting compounds. These compounds include anti-seizure medications and antidepressant drugs that mimic estrogen, a plastic additive called bisphenol-A (BPA), synthetic crop fertilizers (i.e., Altrazine), herbicides, industrial chemicals, and estrogens from livestock fed hormones to increase milk production, fatten them for the market, or make them mature faster.

Hair loss is much more than being annoying; it’s a sign of problems due to a hormone called Di Hydro Testosterone (DHT). Despite the word testosterone in its name, it’s a derivative of estrogen. Did you know that estrogen and testosterone are similar in molecular structure and are

w w w. B o d y M i n d S p i r i t G u i d e . c o m

made from the hormone cholesterol?

In today’s world, we see estrogen levels in men rising to unhealthy proportions by their mid-twenties to mid-thirties coupled with a drop in testosterone levels. Due to this hormonal imbalance, it’s no wonder that many of these men have problems.

Males with high estrogen levels lose muscle mass, gain belly fat, get moody/ cranky, often become depressed, develop a swollen prostate, and lack mental drive. By age forty-five, men may have more estrogen than their wives!

Another estrogen related problem stems from an enzyme in belly fat called aromatase that converts testosterone into estrogen. This estrogen produces even more belly fat which promotes estrogen dominance in both men and women.

Babies are also adversely affected by too much estrogen. In male babies, estrogen interferes with their ability to produce adequate testosterone which is what ensures their development as a male.

Excess estrogen affects girls by forcing their bodies to mature too quickly as well as interfering with healthy development.

This is why baby formulas with soy (which contains plant estrogens) should be avoided.

What else can you do? Read labels and avoid foods containing phytoestrogens. Avoid meat, dairy, and vegetables raised with hormones, herbicides, fungicides, and/or pesticides as they are also estrogen based. Eat organic, free range foods, and only use BHP-free plastics.

Learn about natural foods, such as maca, that act as estrogen blockers and reducers and add them to your diet.

Eat cruciferous vegetables that have anti-cancer/anti-estrogenic properties due to their production of the chemical compound Di-Indole Methane (DIM).

However, if you eat lots of cabbage, cauliflower, Brussel sprouts, kale, broccoli or other goitrogenic vegetables (meaning they can disrupt thyroid production by interfering with iodine uptake in the thyroid gland especially March 2018

when there’s iodine deficiency) steam or quickly par-boil them first.

Homeopathic progesterone and progesterone creams can help the body offset the effects of estrogen. The addition of a high-quality fiber supplement, such as Gastro-Fiber, helps absorb and bind excess hormones so they can be expelled out of the body, instead of being reabsorbed.

It’s best when the body produces its own hormones rather than getting them from outside sources. I’ve found several specific whole-food based supplements that are formulated to assist particular organs within the body to manufacture the necessary hormones in the proper balance. When the body naturally produces its own hormones, it uses built-in feedback mechanisms to know which hormones to build and when to produce them with the correct quantities. The hormones produced by a healthy body are simply amazing. Come to my workshop to learn more about YOUR incredible hormones!

Death Cafe I Talked About Death and It Didn’t Kill Me Why talk about death with strangers? By embracing our mortality, we can live our ‘finite’ lives better and more fully. For over five years, the Ann Arbor Death Café has been meeting monthly at Crazy Wisdom Tea Room and now draws over 30 attendees, always a mix of first-timers and ‘regulars’. Now there is a new Death Café starting in Warren on March 10, at the Dovetail Café, 29200 Hoover Rd. At a typical Death Café gathering, topics range from “What is a good death?” to “What happens to your stuff when you’re gone?” Death Café is a safe place to explore, share and listen deeply. It’s not a support group. There is no agenda or presentation, rather, it’s a conversation led by the participants.

Since Death Café started in England in 2011, there have been over 5,000 Death Cafés in over 50 countries and in every state.

They are part of the “Death Positive” movement that seeks to change the cultural conversation about death and help us live our lives better by embracing our mortality. The Ann Arbor Death Café, started by Merilynne Rush in November 2012, is the longest standing, regularly meeting Death Café in the world.

Gloria Cunningham, end-of-life doula and Ann Arbor Death Café alum, decided it was high time to have a Death Café closer to home.

All adults are invited to attend. It’s free, confidential, and accessible.

Please join us! Monthly - in Warren on the 2nd Sat, 11a.m.1p.m. at Dovetail Cafe; in Ann Arbor on the 3rd Sat, 10:30a.m.12:30p.m., at Crazy Wisdom.

For more information, contact Gloria at gloria@birthtlc.com or visit: www.DeathCafe.com and search for the Ann Arbor or Warren locations. Hope to see you soon!

WHAT OUR MUSCLES TELL US

By Sherry Yale, D.C.

Each of our muscles has a direct link to the nervous system, just like any other part of the body; however, the muscles give us the opportunity to test their function directly....no tools or Lab work needed! Testing the muscles is a GREAT advantage; it is like built-in BIOFEEDBACK! As I chiropractor, I use the strength of muscles to determine where there is nerve involvement with spinal misalignments.

Did you know that just the weight of a feather on a nerve will cut down its function by at least 80%?! Yes! It is quite amazing when I get a strong bodybuilder in my office (male and 30 years younger than me, no less) and I can push down their leg in testing their front thigh muscle (the quadriceps) like they’re a little kitten! It becomes undeniable where the patient is having problems, even if they don’t tell me.

Sometimes patients don’t know all of their problems. Usually, we associate a problem with pain or some other sort of symptom. People tend to figure that if their back doesn’t hurt, it must be “in place.” Well, where this falls in reasoning is that NOT ALL NERVES CARRY PAIN. That’s right. You could have a nerve that is significantly damaged, yet no pain. Hopefully, you never get to that point, but it is false information that you need to be aware of if you’re going to care for your health properly.

Beyond evaluating the spine, every muscle is associated with an organ or gland and an acupuncture meridian (these are energy pathways). Again, muscle weaknesses are a strong clue of what is going on with one’s body and are an invaluable tool in evaluating the body holistically. This system of muscle testing is called APPLIED KINESIOLOGY. Sherry Yale D. C. Sherry Yale, D.C., owner of TLC Holistic Wellness, 31582 Schoolcraft Rd, Livonia, MI 48150.

What Is Back Pain and What Can You Do About It?

By Robert Auerbach

If you suffer from chronic neck and back pain, you are not alone. Today millions of people suffer from it on a regular basis.

Typically a person’s occupation, whether physical or sedentary, can be one of the leading causes of the pain.

Dentists, dental hygienists, hairdressers, barbers, construction workers, plumbers, truck drivers, electricians and factory workers are good examples of physical occupations that produce neck and shoulder problems, chronic headaches and other maladies. In other words, an occupation that puts you into an awkward position and or demands you repeat the same movement over and over again puts a strain on your body’s structure that can result in a nagging pain and discomfort.

These types of jobs performed day in and day out require the individual to maneuver his or her body in a variety of postural deviations that result in stress that is unnaturally put on the body.

For example, let’s take hairdressers. Often their workstation is set up so their sink is on one side and the chair the client is sitting in is in the middle. He or she has to bend, turn and work around the client all day long. As a result, hairdressers must work from a fixed position that puts repetitive stress on their shoulders, arms, and wrists. This repetitive motion can not only affect the hands and wrists, but it can work its’ way up through the fascial network in the arms that feeds into the neck and jaw.

Hairdressers I have worked on often report not only pain but also a significant restriction in their ability to rotate their heads and sometimes full-blown frozen shoulder. For different people and different occupations, their symptoms will of course vary, but chronic pain and severe restriction in mobility that can threaten their movement to perform their job is a common denominator.

Non-physical jobs can create similar kinds of stressors that produce same types of problems. People whose occupations require them to work at a computer all day also experience chronic neck and back pain. This can be the result of repeated patterns that one engages in, often at work while working at a computer. These patterns can lead to a shortening of the fascial network in the front of the body usually beginning with shortened attachments of the diaphragm under the rib cage.

18

Since most office furniture is not ergonomically designed, it causes the head and neck to be arched forward of the shoulder girdle and torso. This type of day to day work shapes the body to take on an unnatural forward head posture accompanied by rounded shoulders.

Regularly working on a computer contributes to one of the most painful and common postural faults.

One of the ways the body has to compensate for this posture is that it has to build up an extra layer of connective tissue right where the thoracic spine meets the cervical spine. This extra layer of connective tissue is commonly referred to as the Dowager’s Hump. So the body is building up extra tissue to support the head which is forward in the relationship with the rest of the body.

So what can you do about this predicament if changing jobs is not immediately possible?You can start with your office furniture. One option to consider is a standing desk, and this works for some people. Another option to consider is a device called the Yogaback. This support works to keep your back straight and your posture aligned. Other ongoing therapies include hands-on massage, structural integration (aka Rolfing) and chiropractic.

But the best way to get long-term relief is to address the whole body, for whatever postural faults we have when we start a job or a career, will tend to be made worse by the job.You must find out where the problem begins and address the source. The goal that will provide this long-term and dramatic relief involves bringing our whole structure into equipoise with gravity. To that end, all our segments (head and neck, torso, pelvis, legs, etc.,) will have to be sitting right on top of each other and not forward, back or rotated with the segment below. Further, the energetic tone held in our deep core muscles will need to be balanced with the tone held in our large surface muscles. These are the kinds of structural changes that will pay dividends for the rest of your life!

Gemstone Elixirs for a Spring Detox

By Jennifer Vanderwal

Detoxifying helps cleanse our body, mind and emotions, as well as our auras.

Our environment and GMO foods are two good reasons to detoxify seasonally. It is easy to make an elixir and you can use as many or as few stones as you want.

First, make sure your stones are not water soluble or have high radiation content. Next, smudge the stones with white sage and rinse them in water, to make sure the outside is clean.

Then, place the stones in a glass jar filled with purified water and let it sit in the sun or during a specific moon phase for 8-12 hours. It doesn’t matter if you cover it; I like to, especially when I make elixirs outside.

Remove the stones and drink approximately a shot glass full; the elixir can be taken a few times every day.

The energy of the sun or moon amplifies the energies of the crystals via pyroelectric energy; the water absorbs the minerals and energies of the stones and holds it, making elixirs very effective.

These are some crystals you can use for a physical detox: Apatite helps bones and cells heal and alleviates hypertension.

Fluorite fights off infections, heals our DNA, skin and alleviates pain.

Obsidian aids with digestion, dissolves hardened arteries and increases our circulation.

Ruby strengthens our blood, lymphatic system and heart.

Tourmaline removes all blockages, enhancing the overall flow of energy.

For a mental detox: Sodalite alleviates mental confusion, enhancing rational thought and clearing emfs.

Jade soothes our mind, balances acid/ alkaline in our bodies and benefits the

kidneys.

For an emotional detox: Chrysocolla gently cleanses emotions, and aids communication and psychic vision. Malachite facilitates deep emotional healing by releasing old traumas, mental disturbances and protects against radiation.

If you want a spiritual detox to cleanse your auras: Labradorite is a great protector for empaths; it staunches energy leaks and instills hope and seeing magic in all of life.

Citrine aligns and cleanses all of our auras, emanates joy, and is powerful for manifesting.

Quartz Crystal seals holes while protecting, strengthening and cleansing our auras; it also amplifies all other stones.

Any of these stones can also be used in the bath as an elixir, or just the stones themselves. Crystals love water.

Amethyst cleanses and protects the aura while bringing in higher energies. In olden days, people would take baths as a ritual before giving a psychic reading to cleanse their auras; it’s also a good practice for empaths, helping clear out other people’s thoughts, emotions and emfs.

* Shoulders rounded and tense? * Are you less flexible than you use to be? * Chronic hip, neck or lower back pain? * Does your body feel beaten down & compressed?

Structural Integration (Rolfing") can:

* Improve your posture dramatically * Assist in breathing easier and deeper * Improve your game (yoga, golf, etc.) * Make being in your body joyous and uplifting

Any of the above mentioned stones can be used, as well as herbs such as yarrow, lavender and white sage.

Essential oils such as yarrow, palo santo or lavender also cleanse our energies.

Enjoy!

Moving meditation is a way to bring Higher Self and spiritual consciousness into your physical body and every experience.

More common, sitting meditation calms the mind by lifting the focus out of the physical into the spiritual. For many, moving meditation can be easier and uniquely effective.

Moving meditation allows your spiritual self to incarnate more fully; so you are fully present and alive, rather than living in your mind. I find it energizing and relaxing at the same time.

There are many ways to do moving meditation.

Moving Meditations

Here are some ideas: 1) Zen Buddhism uses either walking or doing tasks interspersed with periods of silent mindfulness of your breath,

w w w. B o d y M i n d S p i r i t G u i d e . c o m

March 2018

or just being present with life. A gong or singing bowl is used to call people to mindfulness. You could program your phone with a beautiful alarm sound that goes off periodically to call you to mindfulness. Or, pause periodically to meditate on your breath for a few moments. In this way, any job can become a favorite way to find joy and peace of heart, mind and body.

2) Walking in nature you can practice letting go of everything except your awareness of the beauty around you, and the joyfulness of your body as you stretch your legs, smell the air and enjoy the aliveness of the day. Any activity can be a way to immerse yourself in love, even an exercise machine and a view out the window of sunshine, birds, clouds, a river…

3) One of my favorite moving meditations is when I am walking or working out on an exercise machine and I take that time to breathe into my heart and center there on my Inner Wisdom and welcome my Higher Self to live within me. I let myself feel embraced in the unconditional love from within my heart and through my crown chakra and all around me. Then from that place of comfort and clarity, I allow my attention to go further within where I can I listen to my heart, mind and body. Soon out of the peaceful state, tensions, worries, fears, emotions, unresolved issues, injuries or illnesses may come to my attention. I welcome the love of my Inner Wisdom through my heart chakra to embrace whatever comes up. Then I welcome my Higher Self to allow it to heal and release. I accept, forgive and learn from what I am releasing. As it releases I receive my Higher Self to fill that place within me.

5) Eating meditation is delicious, delightful and amazing. A gift to the life forms you eat and to yourself as well, it is best with very fresh and alive food. It can also make less lively food more nourishing and delicious. You may begin at any stage of the process, from shopping to preparation or simply eating.

Acknowledge each food item lovingly by name. See its beauty.

Invite the angel of the food to bless and heal it. Remember gratefully the sources of nature, creatures and humans who brought it to you. Ask forgiveness for mistreatment at any point in its history. Ask that it be as though it were fresh, organic, lovingly raised, at the peak of its gifts. Sense its energy, scent, color, and gifts. Open your heart and love as you receive its beauty into your life through eating.

You can get creative if you want, and think of myriad ways to be mindful of your true self and the gifts of life as you go about your days. Such a simple and joyful way to bless life.

4) A simple and effective meditation for grounding, relaxing, being strong and holding good boundaries is to “be a tree”.

This meditation can be done sitting, but is better standing and even more potent walking. Centering deep within the still place of your heart chakra, ask this question: What kind of tree has the qualities which would be most helpful to me in my life?

Some trees are flexible, some are evergreen, some strong and some bear blossoms and fruit, some are ancient and wise… what kind of tree would be helpful to you?

Then from that same deep place within your heart, imagine that your body and aura is that kind of tree. Feel the deep roots and high branches and allow yourself to find nourishment from the Source of Life flowing through the earth and into your roots, trunk and branches like sap. Welcome your spreading branches and leaves to receive nourishment from above, like sunlight from the Source of Life pouring into you, and let all this energy join with the love within your heart chakra. Imagine going through your days and nights nourished this way and with the clear boundaries and protection that strong roots, trunk and bark provide.

What do you think when you hear the word ‘Hypnosis’?

By Phil Rosenbaum

Recently, there was a movie that portrayed hypnosis in a less than positive light. It made it appear that hypnosis could cause people to do terrible things. This is so unfortunate. What is worse, is that this is not the first time hypnosis has been depicted as something dangerous or harmful. It is a shame that Hollywood makes it appear that something that can be so helpful for people is not safe. The depiction is totally untrue, but many people believe it and thus avoid something that can be so helpful. Allow me to share the true facts about hypnosis.

To begin with, experiencing hypnosis is an enjoyable state of mind. It is similar to daydreaming. It leads to feelings of tranquility and calmness and deep relaxation. You are not asleep, so you are aware of your surroundings. In addition, your attention is more focused. You are always in control and you can awaken yourself at any time. You can also reject any unsuitable suggestions.

When you are in a hypnotic state, you will not do anything that goes against your values or moral beliefs. It that were ever asked of you, either you would come right out of trance, or you would simply not respond. In other words, you would not go along with these suggestions.

Another point is that you cannot get stuck in hypnosis. If you are left alone, or something happened to the hypnotist and he or she was not present, you would come out of trance on your own in just a few minutes. You would not remain in the trance state.

It is true that the depth of the hypnosis does vary with each individual. Some go into light or medium or deep levels, but any level is normally sufficient to break most habits. In addition, anyone of average intelligence can achieve hypnosis to some degree. The only exceptions would be very young children, people with severe mental illness or who have had a serious brain injury, or people who come in under the influence of drugs or alcohol.

You will remember everything that you need to reach your goals. You will not have amnesia. Furthermore, you cannot be hypnotized against your will. If you do not want to be hypnotized it is not going to happen.

hypnosis. The reason is that there are so many areas in which hypnosis can create positive changes that practically everyone could benefit from just a few sessions.

Let me share some of the areas in which hypnosis has helped people. Many people are aware that hypnosis is very effective for quitting smoking and for losing weight, but did you know that hypnosis is also very helpful for people having problems with sleep! It can help with concentration, memory and study habits. Hypnosis is very helpful for anxiety and all types of phobias including claustrophobia and agoraphobia, fear of spiders or animals, as well as fear of flying, fear of heights, fear of injections and fear of going to the dentist. It can help lower blood pressure and can help you with anger issues.

Hypnosis is very helpful for raising your self-esteem, improving confidence, and achieving the goals you set for yourself. It can also help you increase your energy.

Hypnosis can help with nail biting. It is very helpful for improving sports performance and overcoming procrastination.

It can help you if you have problems with clutter. It can help with releasing guilt and eliminating worry, and even help with forgiveness.

In addition, some people like to use hypnosis for recalling past lives, and others for gaining access to guides or angels and receiving extremely valuable information from these wise beings. These are just a few of the areas where hypnosis can be of benefit. If you would like to learn more about hypnosis, or would like to experience a hypnotic session, please call Phil Rosenbaum at 248-688-6469. It can truly enhance your life.

Delays Are An Unexpected Blessing

All Things Three: Be Who You’re Meant to Be

By Abby Lippitt

By Dottie Fuller

March always feels fiery to me. It’s exciting. It allows my restless winter energy to find an outlet. We talk about spring renewal and doing spring cleaning.

Hatchlings are hatched and seedlings become their flower.

This is the time of year to ask ourselves, What are we ready to show the world? Is it something new that has just begun to move about within ourselves, or is it something we have long suppressed out of fear? Now is one of the best times to stand tall and proudly show the world who we are with love.

With the energies of manifestation and growth brewing -- expressed in the energies of March (third month) and solar plexus (third chakra) both associated with creativity, expression, and will -- know that you will be supported as you allow the fire of your soul to burn strong. Just as we clean our flower beds of last year’s decay, we can lovingly and artfully do the same with thoughts, relationships, and habits that will dampen the vibrancy of this year’s personal growth. We are part of nature and very much a part of the natural cycles of death and rebirth, too. The winter has allowed us stillness, solitude, contemplation, and rest. It’s time to put it all out on the metaphorical table and ask ourselves about what still works for us and what doesn’t. It’s okay to only take what works for us and leave the rest. Allow the ever-growing fire of your soul to burn up things un-needed, the rains of the spring to wash them away, or the winds of change to dissolve the energy.

Whichever metaphorical release speaks to you, do that. Then, as Geri Larkin fiercely puts it in her book Stumbling Towards Enlightenment, “Sail and sail hard.”

It’s beautiful. Everything is symbolic. As we clean our yards and houses we can look upon the remnants of last year with gratitude and love and know that more is coming. Something fresh is coming. Even if the annual blooms again, just as it has the last five years, there is still something slightly different about it each year -- just as with our lives. Seasons are short and every one different. Be blessed and be free. Feel your fire and let it grow.

Sometimes we can’t always do exactly what we want to do, when we want to do it. And this can become very frustrating if you let it. So, to make the best of your time, instead of fighting with your delay use it to your advantage. Use the new time you now have available to finish other projects or to do something fun and relaxing.

Another thing to be mindful of is the occurrence of resistance. Every day small delays are common, however, when you encounter numerous interruptions while trying to complete the same task, that’s the universe’s way of telling you to stop ... you’re going the wrong way!

In situations like these, it’s wise to re-examine your circumstances more closely; you may find that there is a better option available to you other than what you are currently doing.

But fear not ... this does not always mean that you have to give up your current plans. These interruptions just offer the opportunity to find a better and perhaps quicker path to your goal.

For best results, practice respect and gratitude for all those you encounter. These positive practices go a long way to provide a solid foundation upon which to build your goals.

Ultimately, with regards to pesky disruptions, you’ll be surprised to find that this extra time on your hands is actually a blessing.

Ways to use your delays: 1. Ask yourself, What can I best use this time for?

2. Ask, Is there a better way for me to achieve my goal?

3. Ask, What resources do I have available that will help me complete my project in an expedited time frame?

4. Ask, What else can I do to add to the quality of my work?

Why Use Tarot?

By Pauline Dettloff Back in the 1400’s tarot decks came on the scene and were mostly used for card games. It wasn’t until the mid-1500’s that those studying the occult noticed meanings beyond the pictures on the cards.

Starting in Italy, and moving throughout Europe the cards quickly spread. The first book on tarot was written in 1791 and was titled the “Art of Reading Cards.”

Tarot is more widely known as a tool of divination, but other decks also used are ordinary playing cards and oracle decks.

Some professional psychics use these decks others do not.

I like tarot because they tell a story. It helps me connect with the person I am reading. It opens up the reader to topics and themes regarding life. There are over 5000 tarot decks in print today.

Some decks have 22 cards others have 78. Some professional readers use tarot for direction in reading while others use it to help with their intuition. Regardless of how it is used, reading tarot is not an easy thing to learn. It takes time and study as well as psychic ability to interpret the meaning of the card for each client we read. For example, many people fear the “Death” card when death in tarot can often just mean the ending to something. It rarely means physical death.

Many prefer a tarot reading over a psychic reading but without the “psychic” tarot is just some cards with pictures.

At Michigan Psychic Fair, we have a variety of “card” readers. Some read Gypsy cards, a few read playing cards, and some read Tarot and Angel Oracle.

We also have mediums who do not read cards, and we have those mediums that do both. Regardless, of the type of

reading you receive at our fairs; know that each of our readers is screened for accuracy and professionalism. Each one of our readers is continually working at building their gifts with classes and study.

If you have never experienced a tarot reading, come out to our fairs and get one from a seasoned professional. You may find this type of reading covers more of a broad spectrum of your life. For further information on our fairs and our readers go to www.michiganpsychicfair.org With over thirty years as a psychic medium, Pauline offers insight on love, career, finances, family, the future and soul purpose.

Clairvoyance, clairaudience, mediumship and tarot are all be used in a reading. She offers advice in making changes in your life, with direct information from your angels and spiritual guides that will empower and transform you. Book your reading at 586 9394230 and visit www.KrystalBallOnline.com

Have you ever had one of those ahha moments that left you wondering, “Where did that thought come from?” I had one just the other day about forgiveness and attracting my soulmate. The two topics don’t seem related on the surface but let me explain.

Lately, I have been feeling like I would like to change up my life and start a new chapter. I am ready to be with a soulmate, a wonderful forever partner to share great times, and not always great times, with. For a long time now, I have been the sole director of my life story. I have experienced periods in my life where I had boyfriends, but never felt like they were my soulmate. I usually felt at one time in the relationship that I needed out.

For a while now, I have been playing with the idea of wanting to be with Mr. Right. The desire has been growing. Now I am ready to be with a companion who will share activities, memories, and special moments, disagree, but not fight, and love me and let me love him.

I asked myself if there is anything else I need to do to bring this into my life. I asked myself why I thought I did not attract this into my life already. The word forgiveness and the image of my dad, then my mom and others who have died, popped into my head. I heard, “Forgive them for going away, and then let it go and move on with your life.” I felt an amazing sense of affirmation that this ah-ha moment was full of truth … and amazing.

So, I suggest that if you have a desire, but it has not appeared, ask yourself if there is something you need to do to attract that into your life. Then listen or watch for your ah-ha moment.

A Call to Action

Daylight Saving Time Begins Sunday, March 11 at 2:00a.m.

Attention all Lightworkers….

By Susan deCaussin

It’s time to stand up and make a difference. We’re at an amazing point in time, when the collective consciousness is growing at a rapid pace. As each individual begins to connect with their higher self and gain the ability to see beyond this physical realm, there is a responsibility that accompanies this gift.

How it began...

Daylight Saving Time was a whimsical invention of Benjamin Franklin in 1784, who at the age of 78, was finishing his tenure as an American delegate in Paris.

Upon hearing a loud noise at six o'clock in the morning, he awoke unexpectedly, surprised to see his room filled with light. At first he assumed that the light's source originated from oil lamps that he had recently acquired. Upon closer examination, he open the window shutters and realized that the light was coming from the rising sun outside his window.

Evidently, Parisians at that time stayed out late at night and never awoke before noon. Finding it fascinating that the sun would be rising so early, he checked his watch and the almanac and indeed, it was rising right on time.

A lover of economy and being rather thrifty, he calculated how many pounds of candles and the "immense sum" that residents of Paris could save each year, "by rising earlier and using sunshine rather than candles."

28

Opening up to Spirit is a wonderful thing. We celebrate this “awakening” in our lives, as well as in the lives of others. This shared experience has resulted in a growing number of individuals being drawn together. At these gatherings, people are able to share their amazing breakthroughs and stories in a judgment-free environment.

It’s a great way to support each other and provide assistance to those who desire a deeper understanding of what they’re going through. However, there comes a time when we must venture outside of these comfortable circles of like-minded individuals to touch the lives of others.

And, I believe, that time is now.

When we look back at the great prophets who walked the earth, we see one thing in common. Each of them used their time to share their teachings with those who needed them most, providing insight, knowledge, compassion and guidance to those who had lost their way.

Imagine if each of these great spiritual leaders had decided to only spend their time with like-minded individuals, instead of reaching out to touch the lives of others.

We can no longer allow ourselves to be driven by judgment and fear. This planet needs healing and we all have a responsibility to play a part in that process. Networking amongst other Lightworkers offers valuable opportunities for growth. But, now is the time to step outside of those circles in order to affect positive, loving change on this planet, and to all who call it home.

While it’s easy to get angry about the state of the world, that response will only exacerbate the problem. The only way to truly diffuse anger and hatred is with kindness, compassion and love. With kind, loving, actions and words we can shine light into the darkness and become catalysts for positive change.

As Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. once said, “Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.” Lead with your words. Lead by example.

Be what you want to see in the world.

As someone who’s been blessed with the ability to communicate beyond the veil, I clearly understand the courage it takes to step out into society and open up about your gifts and new-found knowledge. When I opened up, I felt a weight had been lifted and a tremendous shift occurred in my life. While many friends and family members lovingly

w w w. B o d y M i n d S p i r i t G u i d e . c o m

accepted me, there were those who weren’t comfortable and backed away.

However, by openly embracing my gifts, my life has been fuller and richer than I could ever have imagined. New friendships have been forged and an amazing sense of purpose has evolved.

way. Send in thoughts of health, love and plenty, and out comes health, love and plenty. Same with the negative. So, you can choose to be mindful of your thoughts and remake them into ones that will really bring you happiness, mentally and materialistically.

By Miche Lame’

By now, most of us know much of how we act has been programmed into our subconscious mind and we tend to be on ‘auto-pilot’; especially those times when we consciously want to act one way, and end up reacting in another, habitual way.

Think of it as the conscious mind being like the top of a tooth, and the subconscious the root under the gum that is hidden. The root/subconscious is the foundation of what you show to the world.

How can we get the subconscious to transform into the light we know we can be? Do you know that the subconscious mind does not know the difference between fantasy and reality? The subconscious has no sense of past, present or future. Plus, your energy can get stuck, keeping you disempowered until it is recognized and released. You do have the power to connect with your subconscious mind and re-pattern its programming and let go of the stuck energy, releasing energy to be empowered as you will it by being mindful of the thoughts you have and those that you send to the subconscious.

Be mindful of where you may be energetically stuck; where that energy keeps pulling you back into your subconscious old patterns and habits. The subconscious takes your thoughts and works them out in its own logical

Your subconscious mind is connected to All. If you allow and listen to it, it connects with all knowledge and experience that there is. One way to be open to your subconscious and stuck energy is to meditate. Yes, most of you do, yet are you open to what knowledge you can receive, and where your energy is stuck? The subconscious and your body do not make decisions nor demands. They are totally like a sponge, subjective to what is and they do what they are told or -- what is really in your heart that you desire. They are totally yours to command and to soak-up the knowledge from, and then consciously you can make your decisions, and choose your action.

When you open yourself up to the All though your subconscious mind, you can transform, becoming the light in the world you want to be as you choose moment by moment, thought by thought, feeling by feeling to be this light, to be directed by the All. If you are having difficulty opening up or being mindful, a great way to easily release these old patterns is through hypnosis and a technique called NET, where the timeless subconscious mind, body and emotions are contacted and old patterns released. Both are safe and scientifically validated.

A Message of Hope in The Age of Surprise

By Mystic Deirdre Hade Finding hope during times of stress has hit home for me. The Thomas Fire, the largest in California history, burned its way across the Los Padres Mountains to my front door. We miraculously survived.

My husband and I surveyed a charred landscape,; grateful no one was harmed.

We had about a week to catch our breath before the watershed of rain came, rolling down boulders the size of trucks. The next day we faced the unimaginable-, neighbors, friends, pets and homes lost, our beautiful California transformed.

Of the hundreds of homes destroyed, our house again survived. A canyon carved 30-feet deep just 15 feet away from our house now has enormous stone statues reminding us of the power of nature and how profoundly close life and death can be. Welcome to the Age of Surprise.

Calamity, abrupt change, often comes without any warning. So, how do we handle this? How do we find strength and resilience? How do we care for ourselves and those that we love? How do we manage the inner stress?

In experiencing the Thomas Fire and the mud and debris flow that followed, it reminded me of so many other times when my world came apart. I was in my 20’s when my mother died, father died soon after. Then, after thirteen years of marriage, a divorce, breaking my heart and leaving me with two small children to care for as my best friend died. In the middle of all these losses, I was certain grief would kill me. And yet, I survived it all. Because, when I felt my world coming apart, my body freezing up with anxiety and fear as I went about worrying, “What am I going to do?” a voice, a Presence, spoke to me each time, helping guide me through.

30

You see as a mystic I have been given the ability to live with one foot grounded in an unseen reality I call the wisdom light of All That Is while having the other foot fully grounded in this physical reality.

I see and hear angels and other beings and receive information that others may not, which is an interesting position during the difficult times we face here in our country and around the world today.

We are all very much in need of a boost, which is why I feel now is the time to share what has been shown to me in conversations, visions, and insights on my journeys to and from this other reality. With this need to share in mind, I asked in my morning prayers recently, “What does all this disaster and change mean? What is the message? What can I share with family and friends?

What can I share from You, Presence of Pure Creation, Great Light of God, that will help us find the possibility and hope in all of this today?” And in a flash of clarity, everything that I had studied in my years of spiritual pursuit, all of the various teachings of truth, words I had memorized from sacred texts, collided together in one giant symphony of thought, feeling, and awe. I had an understanding that has renewed my life and the lives of all I have shared it with.

When catastrophe comes, all that we’ve considered vital and important gets put aside because now we have to survive and take care of one another. This is the great lesson: we are here to learn to take care of each other. Period. This is the light and the grace inside the darkness of our suffering. The Presence of Pure Creation, the worlds of light, the Creator, want all of us to know how to find each other, how to reconnect, soul to soul, caring for each other in harmony, love, and service without needing a calamity to force us into caring for each other.

So, then I asked, “How do we do this when we’re all so busy and overwhelmed?” And the answer came: It was simple: “Take one step at a time on my ladder of steps to re-connecting soul to soul. One step is harnessing resilience. After that are the steps of guiding faith and trust. Here, take my ladder, take these steps, and I will do the rest. And then, one day, you will be upon my Altar, and We will create Our greatest manifestation. For The Age of Surprise is, in Truth, Your Great Age of Transformation - Your Age of Enlightenment.”

Here are the first two steps God showed me as important and necessary to a life of Possibility.

Here is the message: We are here at this moment in time, The Age of Surprise, to reconnect our souls with each other, to reunite in a state of deep love, care and compassion. Connection is the most crucial lesson humanity is here to learn. Everything that comes our way right now is to teach us that we

w w w. B o d y M i n d S p i r i t G u i d e . c o m

must change our perception to know that the value of who we are is far greater than the things that we try to achieve, build or accomplish, from setting goals to becoming successful. Those things alone will not bring us the peace, joy, and fulfillment that we think they will. The only true and lasting happiness our souls know comes from experiencing deep interpersonal connection. It is time to come together, soul to soul. It is time to remember who we really are. We are the presence of eternal love.

Step One: Reclaim Your Core Value Your core value, the virtue you live by, is the energy of your soul purpose.

And when you live from this core of who you are you are connected to All.

March 2018

This is the foundation of God that will sustain you through times of stress and disaster. Your core value is the profound miraculous energy from which you will create A Year of Possibility.

How to find your core value: A: Close your eyes. Imagine you are sitting in your belly, in a golden light.

B: Gently watch your breath, allowing your breath to soften, continuing to place your awareness in your belly in the golden light.

C: Ask yourself: What is my soul’s core value, the virtue I used to live by as a young child? What virtue do I believe in more than any other? Ask this golden light these questions and then listen for the answer.

D: Continue to repeat the questions followed by silence until you hear an answer. Be patient. Allow this communication to come from your soul.

The answer will come, I promise.

E: Write your core value down on a piece of paper and place it on your altar or desk, someplace where you see it and are reminded of it every day. Then, meditate upon these questions: “Am I living truthfully by my core value?”

“Where have I fallen off my core value, and what effect has that had on me and those I love?”

“What can I do to live my life from my core value?”

Now, every morning when you first wake up, affirm your core value and the guidance you have received from your soul. When you live by your core value/virtue to the best of your ability, something magical happens, synchronicity comes. New ideas, chance meetings, healing of relationships come, all this because your soul is now fully engaged with you.

This basic step, this simple practice will bring a wealth of possibilities for you. It works because virtue and value are the building blocks of manifestation used by

the divine universe.

Step 2. Invite Divine Resilience.

The changing times will continue. They will surprise you. They will test you. And with change comes anxiety and stress.

However, even if life is not a bed of roses, we can look for roses. We can find roses along the way. We can plant the saplings of hope by being in touch with a greater reality.

When we look straight into what is happening right before us with our core value intact, the resilience of a divine power becomes our power. With divine resilience you can overcome any obstacle, any trauma. You can manifest a new possibility. You do not have to have your own resilience. You only have to have God’s resilience. Make it your own.

Color it to your favor.

You see, we are here to bring light (love) into the human experience. We are here to bring joy to our soul, and the soul’s greatest joy is to serve others. If we were meant to be in heaven, we would all be in heaven right now. We would not have incarnated into the volatile world we live in. We are here to fully experience our soul’s love as the human experience. To do this, we must partner with the divine, God, The Presence of Pure Creation.

And we take a closer step toward this by inviting divine resilience into our life.

We actualize this partnership when we find each other in authentic connection, that place of being-ness where our differences do not even matter. This is the meaning of true resilience.

How to invite divine resilience.

A. Once you have your core value in place, repeat this every morning: God, Presence of Pure Creation, fill me with your divine resilience. I open myself to you as a vessel for your strength and your all-knowing wisdom. I am human and limited, but with you as my partner, your invincible resilience and strength I know will uplift me, protect me and guide me throughout this day, this year, this life.

March 2018 w w w. B o d y M i n d S p i r i t G u i d e . c o m

B. Create a Soul Pod, a small group of supportive and trusted friends who want to share this practice with you.

Set a designated time to meet. At each meeting, each participant shares their core value and what that means to them.

Go around the circle. Next, everyone shares how their heart is feeling while everyone else bears witness, listening deeply, paying attention silently. When each person finishes sharing, the group repeats the following mantra: I hear you. I see you. I love you. I share with you my light and my strength, dear friend. My soul is completely with yours.

And together we form a ring of divine resilience around you, protecting you, supporting you, holding you with our love.

Inviting divine resilience into your life and creating a Soul Pod will harmonize and soothe your nervous system. It will heal your anxiety and remove the stress from your body. This, along with consciously embracing your core value/ virtue, is a winning practice for thriving and manifesting all possibilities. For you will have taken great steps in selfawareness, surrender, and soul to soul connection.

We can learn and receive the message of our changing times with grace, forbearance, and wisdom. We can learn to love each other without disaster. We can open to our souls without having to be forced into a great calamity to drop our differences and our judgments. We can heal each other now. And not only will we survive the Age of Surprise, we will thrive as the true creators and manifestors of brilliance that is our birthright.

The Age of Surpirse is about hope & possibility. And the possibility is YOU. Mystic and Visionary Deirdre Hade is the coauthor of The (not so ) Little Book of Surprises with her husband William Arntz, the creator of “What the BLEEP do We Know!?,” Visit her site at www.DeirdreHade.com

Breath and Spirit

By Dr. Michael Abramsky

In practicing yoga, we are always reminded to concentrate on our breath while we are performing asanas. I have studied meditative traditions linked to the world’s great religions, and most of them include ‘breathwork’ as part of the discipline.

Why the focus on breathing as a necessary component of contemplative traditions?

In Western religion, the breath is our most direct link to God. Early in the Bible, in the Book of Genesis, the story of man’s creation is told. … “The Lord God formed man from the dust of the earth. He blew into his mouth the breath of life, and man became a living being” (Genesis: 2:7) Thus man is brought to life through God breathing into the soil. God’s breath forms the essence of man, his sprit, while the soil becomes man’s earthly nature.

In the Hebrew tradition the word for breath is ruach, and ruach is also the name for spirit.

God gives us life through breath, and breathing is the essence of our being. Unsurprisingly, when someone dies they claim, “He took his last breath.”

Detroit Center for Spiritual Living Classes MARCH 2018: Self-Mastery: The Emergence of the True Self: The Self Mastery Course focuses on healing the perceived separation between personality and Spirit. Through an active exploration of the creative nature of thoughts and feelings, beliefs and emotions, the students have an opportunity to gain mastery in the art of living as conscious, intentional beings.

Meets Tuesdays (8 weeks) begins March 6th ends April 24th Location TBD // Class Tuition: $245 (includes CSL Reg Fee) Text: Living the Science of Mind by Ernest Holmes Foundations of the Science of Mind: Explore a new spiritual principle each week and a spiritual practice to support each principle. See the Creative Process at work in each spiritual principle and learn to use it in your everyday life. Discover the writings of our elders as well as our contemporaries.

Meets Thursdays (10 weeks) begins March 1st ends May 10th Location TBD // Class Tuition: $295 (includes CSL Reg Fee) Text: The Science of Mind by Ernest Holmes Any questions or to register please email info@detroitcsl.org

The yogic tradition of India independently arrived at similar conclusions, equating breath with the basic energy of the universe: “I salute Lord Hanuman, Lord of the Breath, Son of the wind God -- who bears five faces and dwells within us in the form of five winds or energies pervading our body, mind and soul.

We reunited Prakriti (matter) with Pereusha (Spirit) -- may he bless the practitioner by uniting vital energy-prana-with the Divine Spirit within.”

In this tradition, breath is the bearer of prana, the vital energy of life. There are five pranas or vital breaths within each of us.

Breathwork creates balance between the vital energies, uniting body, mind and spirit in a mystical communion with the Divine Spirit within.

Pranayama is the art of breath control, and constitutes one of the eight traditional limbs of yoga. There are myriad methods of pranayama, with each method aimed at correcting particular imbalances between the hemispheres of the brain, the glandular system, mental imbalances, or nervous dysfunction.

Kundalini yoga is a system based on various mind, body, breath exercises, also aimed at resolving dysfunctions of self.

The Chinese Daoist system which is based on the interplay of yin and yang refers to the primordial energy as chi. Normal breathing is unconscious and shallow. Awareness of the breath and utilizing techniques to deepen and expand the breath, expands states of consciousness. Some systems outline nine levels of consciousness, most of which we can only access through meditation, which is facilitated by the breath.

A pioneering psychiatric approach to breathing was formulated

by Stanislaw Grof. According to this system, our breath patterns display our emotional history. For example, we hold our breath when frightened, or breathe rapidly when anxious.

Grof developed a mouth breathing system with an emphasis on inhalation, using one breath per second. Music, drumming and other forms of stimulation accompany these breathing efforts. The rapid breathing often produces visionary states which serve as guides toward developing spiritual goals. Such states are like dreams, which unite great affect or emotion with visions which, like metaphors, help us access higher levels of consciousness. It is through accessing those higher states that our historical and cosmic life purpose is realized.

He is nationally Board Certified in both Clinical and Forensic psychology.. has aanMA in Comparative Religions, and has practiced and taught Buddhist Meditation for 25 years.

Happy Healthy Gut

By Chef Deborah Lieder

Once upon a time, in the land of food, it was common practice to preserve the bounty, whether dairy, vegetables or meats. What is now known as fermentation, is a practice that is being removed from our daily lives and commercialized, like most old world practices. And hence, the benefits seem to be forgotten. You see, fermentation is what gives us a happy, healthy gut. It allows our body to absorb nutrients better, dispel toxins correctly, and keeps the digestive system working properly. Our digestion and emotions are directly linked and are governed by our Solar Plexus chakra.

The Solar Plexus deals with our personal empowerment, and if you notice, how we choose to eat reflects how we feel about ourselves.

A healthy gut is so important now-a-days because it can easily be destroyed. Through antibiotics, over the counter medications, herbicides and pesticides, artificial food coloring, and sugar (to name a few) can wipe out our whole colony of healthy gut flora. Over time, this leads to some serious diseases such as diabetes, IBS, obesity, liver disease, heart disease, autism, and cancers. And the truth is, it is not our fault; as we commercialize and process foods, the value of nutrition and education of becomes lost.

Thankfully, there is a resurgence of interest in these old world practices that benefit our health. Any fermented product restores the gut flora. Ferments include apple cider vinegar, kombucha, yoghurt, fermented coffee, fermented vegetables, kefir, miso, and beet kvass and many more. Research has shown that 1 quart of sauerkraut is equivalent to 16 bottles of probiotics! Probiotics can cost upwards of $40 a bottle versus only a few dollars and a little bit of time to make sauerkraut at home. If you purchase from the store, make sure to buy unpasteurized, usually located in the refrigerated section, as pasteurization will kill probiotics. The simple addition of fermented products into your diet can skyrocket your body to a happy, healthy gut!

Sauerkraut 1 head of cabbage 2-4 T. Salt, preferably Celtic Sea Salt or Himalayan Filtered Water Jars for Canning

juice into your jar.

Shred the head of cabbage into small pieces and place in a bowl. Salt to taste – if you like less salty food, go with 2 T, and for saltier 4 T. I use 2.5 T per quart. Massage cabbage until juice releases. You can also use a tamper. Or, after you salt the cabbage, simply place a plate with a heavy weighted object on top to press the juice out. If using this method, it takes about an hour or two for juice the press out. Pack your cabbage and

Better flavor comes from the sauerkraut using its own juices to ferment. If the liquid does not cover the cabbage, add filtered water to the lip. Make sure to leave 2” at the top. To ensure cabbage is submerged, use fermentation weight or reserve a piece of the “butt” of the cabbage (area by the core where cabbage is the stiffest) that is larger than the jar mouth to keep submerged. Cover jar with lid or coffee filter and rubber band and culture at room temperature for 2 weeks. If using a tight lid, “burp” daily to release excess pressure. Once complete, seal with a tight lid and move to cold storage, a basement or cellar.

The longer the sauerkraut sits, the more flavor it will develop.

Fermented Vegetables Vegetables of Choice: Carrot, garlic, peppers, kohlrabi, beets, radish, turnips, apples Herbs and Spice Salt Filtered Water Cut vegetables in the way preferred. The larger the cut, the longer the ferment. Add herbs and spice accordingly. Feel free to play around with your combinations! Make sure to label your jars! Add salt and filtered water to cover. Make sure vegetables are submerged in water using a weight or butt of the cabbage. Leave 2” space at the top. Cover jar with lid or coffee filter and rubber band and culture at room temperature for 2 weeks. If using a tight lid, “burb” daily to release excess pressure. Once complete, seal with a tight lid and move to cold storage, a basement or cellar. The longer the vegetables sit, the more flavor it will develop.

DO WE REINCARNATE ON OTHER PLANETS?

feeling like I did not belong on this planet.

Could this have only been a child’s imagination?

By Wendy Powers Nugent

I knew that I could fly! I truly had no qualms about the idea and was wondering why others were not flying. At the ripe old age of seven I stood on the window sill of my second story bedroom, not wanting or wishing I could fly, but knowing I could; my thoughts seemed to slip back to someplace where I moved effortlessly through the air.

Have you ever had moments in your life that caused you to feel like you were not of this Earth?

In my practice, sometimes I find it necessary to look deeper into a client’s past to find a way to help them through this difficult journey called life on Earth.

Through my abilities as a psychic I have done past life readings for clients, especially when they feel like they can’t relate to this time or place and retreat within themselves. I discovered an amazing phenomenon that some of them have indeed had a life on other planets.

Once the Earth karma is cleared you will graduate to the next level. The soul may find that experiencing life on another planet with different lessons to learn is much like going off to college for the soul.

Sometimes these higher souls decide to come back to Earth again; they may choose to come back in order to guide others through the difficult lessons of the human Earth experience.

These higher souls often take on rolls such as psychic/medium counselors, spiritual teachers, sometimes religious leaders, healers or homeless, even the incarcerated! Many of these higher souls find they fight depression and anxiety as they are now caught within the dense fog of karmic energy, and walking into a mall or restaurant can be stressful for these highly sensitive people. Some will find they can’t cope with the negative energies of this plane and retreat from society, even becoming Agoraphobic.

Because they have a mission to help others, this is not a useful way to spend a life on Earth, so I often recommend that they go to an energy healer, or consider visiting or even moving closer to a vortex,

40

one such place is in Sedona, Arizona.

They will find this energy matrix more relaxing for their sensitive higher soul.

Another recommendation would be to swim with the dolphins or spend time in nature, as this will revitalize the higher soul.

These evolved souls have great wisdom even when they are very young; they will also have a very developed psyche.

Some have moved objects with their minds and have even levitated or read minds.

Maybe you are one of these higher souls but because you have suppressed it for so long you may not recognize it within yourself. But if you are having emotional detachment, depression or even anxiety, you may want to see a past life regression hypnotherapist. If it is discovered that you are indeed a higher soul, you can then start learning how to cope with living in this dense energy plane and continue to complete your spiritual quest.

From a firsthand experience, I can share with you that personally I spent the first half of my life with this unnerving feeling of living on other planets. When I was between 9-10 years old, I used to climb a rather tall old tree in my backyard and look over the neighborhood thinking that I was here on a mission to observe and help guide humans to a higher level of thought. Truly, I spent a lot of time

Well, lucky for me my older brother caught me just as I was leaping from the window. I was really quite upset at him as he proceeded to lecture me on how I should never do such a thing again! I knew he was wrong, but I complied with his wishes and did not try to fly again, but I knew I could…

Another odd thing was that I could hear people’s thoughts, again never thinking that this was unusual. I found this skill very helpful when I was in school as I could ace my tests, because I read the minds of some of the other kids.

Side Note: it doesn’t help to read the mind of the teacher as their minds were never on the answers to the test!

Back to the subject of this article, once graduating from the challenging karma of Earth life, we can move on to attend Universe University! This is not the only choice the higher soul can make; there are many experiences that they can choose from, once they have graduated Earth.

This could be one of the best things you’ve ever done!

the Restorative Power of Meditation

By Todd Stockwell

This could be very uncomfortable, but believe me, it will be one of the best things you’ve ever done!

Hello my friends, Hope everyone is loving and enjoying the exercises we’ve been doing. This month I’m going to ask you to do something that feels very uncomfortable for most. Think about it, what is the most difficult thing for most of us to do?

Take care of ourselves first!

We seem to have a built-in program that it is selfish to put ourselves first. This could not be any further from the truth. If we do not take care of ourselves and elevate to our highest potential, we are actually cheating the consciousness, all of humankind. We are now in the time of genius and it is more important now than ever before to find our true path.

Let’s do 3 things this month.

First, do something that you loved to do as a child. Second, do something that can help you elevate and find your true genius. Third, do something to take care of yourself, really spoil yourself, get a massage or a healing session or something else that makes you feel taken care of.

Let’s now expand this to do a smaller, simpler form of each of the 3 things, every day for the entire month. And continue with the exercises from last month.

As always, it is very important to read and share this as much as possible, it will help you, your path, your awakening, your enlightenment and your truest service to the Universe.

I have a booth and will be doing special empowerment and healing sessions at Michigan Psychic Fairs, check my facebook or call me more info.

Remember, I am here to help support you and your growth so if you have any questions feel free to connect with me, I look forward to meeting you and hearing about your progress.

Spiritual Horoscopes

By Aluna Michaels, M.A.

P

isces (Feb. 19 – March 20) — Happy birthday Pisces! Celebrate your special month by having fun! Often your spiritual path gets bogged down with shame and isolation. Give yourself a break and seek out happy friends and cool activities. When you meditate or reflect, cultivate compassion for “issues” you’re working on. Self-love can heal your heart, mind and soul in wonderful ways. When in doubt, be gentle with yourself so the Universe can work its magic within you.

This is also a strong financial time, so enjoy that too!

A

ries (March 21 – April 19) — Mercury retrogrades in your sign through mid-April. It’s a great time to focus on developing your intuition and spiritual path. Reflect upon and be authentic with yourself about your values. By connecting with what’s truly important to you, you can set new goals that are meaningful and vital! Also, work toward forgiving old resentments when it comes to committed emotional partnerships, breeches of trust or financial issues. In other news, you can get a new job offer or a cool project can begin.

T

aurus (April 20 – May 20) — This Mercury retrograde gives depth in

meditation and power to dreams. Pay close attention to intuitions and subtle inner messages that inspire your spiritual path. In fact, you can start a new discipline like yoga, read a powerful book that shifts your consciousness, or begin a different meditation style. This fresh life perspective also heals a current relationship from old wounds and allows for more trust. If single, you can meet someone who will be a powerful partner!

G

emini (May 21 – June 20) — Jupiter turns retrograde, asking you to pay more attention to your health. That can mean physically, but also how you deal with work and life stress. Geminis are famous for endless mind chatter that depletes your energy and joy. Become aware that you are having constant thoughts. Be friendly to yourself and gently say, “Thinking!” This habit brings a burst of focus and extra vitality for new goals. Also, make an effort to get in touch with old friends, as those reconnections can give a boost too!

C

ancer (June 21 – July 22) — You can have amazing healing with relationships, but you must let go of past hurts.

Of course, set limits and hold to boundaries where needed, but observe how you overly protect your heart. Meditate on beliefs you’ve formed and how they isolate you from love. Challenge your ideas, and see if opening your mind improves a current connection. If single, you can draw in a positive new partner. Check for negative thoughts about work, too.

Everything changes when you dwell on positive options rather than shield yourself from a predictable “bad” future!

L

eo (July 23 – Aug. 22) — Meditation brings healing insights about deep family or childhood issues. Also, practice feeling compassion and love for yourself.

w w w. B o d y M i n d S p i r i t G u i d e . c o m

As a Leo, when you truly feel self-love and self-esteem, you radiate joy to others like the warmth of the sun! Be gentle as you bring yourself back to the generous present moment with kind self-talk, especially if you catch yourself being mean and self-critical. Even a few full breaths bring a momentary quiet that works wonders. In other news, you can have an exciting job offer!

V

irgo (Aug. 23 – Sept. 22) — Meditate on beliefs about communication, trust and intimacy. Forgive negative experiences of betrayal. Write about how safe or unsafe it feels to express your authentic self. Maybe read books about positive communication and apply new ideas. Also examine if it’s hard to be quiet and present within yourself for yourself.

In meditation, let thoughts and emotions arise and greet them in a friendly way.

Observe how they just float by when you don’t label them as ‘bad’. Then you’ll feel less shame about being you, and that’s great because you’re wonderful!

L

ibra (Sept. 23 – Oct. 22) — Mercury retrograde can bring pointless arguments in relationships based on misunderstandings. But it can also trigger old resentments from important unresolved issues. Those bigger themes buried in you can surface as little fights. In meditation, have the courage to see what you are harboring. You might even be reacting from childhood “buttons”. If you can let it go within you in a healthy way, do that. If you need to have an open discussion, be clear and centered as you talk so that resolution will be easier. Also, work on healing negative beliefs about prosperity so yours can flow!

S

corpio (Oct. 23 – Nov. 21) — Jupiter retrogrades in your sign until July.

It’s a great time to deepen your spiritual path. You can have extra-intense meditations. Your intuition will be easy to access and depend on. Jupiter also is about fun, so be sure you allow yourself to play, laugh and generally enjoy life! Think March 2018

about ways you’d like to change and put those concepts into action. Release limiting beliefs. Dream big and practice seeing the impossible as possible! Love yourself and open your heart to others without fear.

S

agittarius (Nov. 22 – Dec. 21) — Make a list of your deepest desires. What would you like to manifest in terms of relationships, prosperity, or spiritual growth? As a Sag, it is vital to center your life around joy. Being a spiritual person can be fun. In fact, you evolve faster when you have humor about yourself and life. Laughter is sacred! Pay attention to dreams, intuition and guidance in meditation, since you’re really “tuned in” right now. Read your “divine wish list” a few times each day and watch your cherished ideas appear with ease!

C

apricorn (Dec. 22 – Jan. 19) — Energetic, passionate Mars is in your sign until mid-May. Meditate on your goals and write a list. Next to each, write action steps and your level of willingness to take those steps. Now you can see what’s truly important to you and not just what you should want to accomplish. Once you’re clear on your real priorities, you’ll find it easier to make strides and be filled with self-confidence! Create a special sacred space in your home for quiet time — you deserve it! You can also start a new relationship if single, or re-invigorate a current connection!

A

quarius (Jan. 20 – Feb. 18) — With both Mercury and Jupiter retrograde, practice slowing down your thoughts. You carry unconscious anxiety from your super-smart, but non-stop mind. In meditation, rather than ignoring thoughts or trying to stop them, welcome their presence. Without engaging them, notice how they float in and notice there’s space between them. Focus on the spaciousness between each thought. You’ll feel much more peaceful, ... in meditation and all day long! Also release old anger so your heart can be open to joy with others and open to love for yourself!

The Will of Your Intention

By Gwendolyn Esco Davis

An Intention is what the profound thinking of your desires are -- your truest objectives. When your intentions do not align with your actions, you get contradictory results.

G. EscoDavis For starters, let’s look at a well-known television show. People under 50 years old, you may not recall the show. On Saturday, September 26, 1964, the first episode of Gilligan’s Island was broadcast.

Gilligan’s Island lasted for three years -- 90 episodes. The premise of the story is that well-adjusted people from different walks of life and a variety of backgrounds, were stranded on an island after an airplane crash. No matter how hard they tried for three years, seven castaways never got off the island.

Let’s start with the professor, he was happier on the island than ever before. Where else had he gained such respect and admiration? This brilliant scientist was able to generate electricity from little human power and a few pulleys, and had the capability of maneuvering nearly anything from coconuts and bamboo, yet he couldn’t build a transmitter from a radio or create a workable raft from the remains of the crash remains. The professor wanted to stay.

The skipper was a World War II Navy Veteran, a longtime boat captain and by all accounts a nautical genius. His career wasn’t flourishing. He chartered a ragtag collection of clients for short-term cruises. Somehow a man with his skills couldn’t get them off the island either. Clearly, the skipper wanted to stay.

Ginger, Mary Ann and Mr. and Mrs. Howell didn’t have the skills or experience to get the castaways off the island, but they could motivate the professor and skipper. And then there’s Gilligan. He managed to screw up just about every attempt they made. Maybe that was on purpose. He could also elicit plenty of attention from everyone -negative attention, sure, but attention nonetheless. On the mainland, Gilligan was always in the background -- no one ever noticed him. He liked the attention he was finally getting. (https://www.entrepreneur.com/article/239732) And yet somehow, no one did anything to Gilligan. They never made hard choices. They didn’t lock him up. They didn’t finish him off. They did nothing dramatic enough to keep him from foiling their attempts to escape the island. They cared more about Gilligan than getting off the island.

Why did they fail to escape? They didn’t really try because they weren’t sufficiently motivated. The bottom line is that the castaways stated that they wanted to leave the island, but their intentions were not aligned with their half-hearted actions.

Similar to many employees, company founders and perhaps even

(PBA) Principles Perceive Believe Achieve

you, many do not have the right incentives or the right intentions to achieve their full potential. Have you ever said that you want something yet didn’t follow-through or take steps to make it a reality? If your answer is yes, then you may be like the Gilligan’s Island castaways. Comfortable where you are, but knowing in your heartof-hearts that life could be better -- only if you would step out of your comfort zone for something new, or something that would serve you better.

By William Helton

The castaway’s intentions were to not find a workable solution to leave the island.

So, they stayed.

You’re thinking -- your intention is your reality. Being present with your thinking guides your reality. Then, intention governs your current reality.

Be clear about your vision of yourself. Take the vision and work backward to identify what small steps must be taken to get your end-results (to get you off the island). Think in the affirmative; intention, plus the level of your motivation.

Your current environment may be what’s blocking your path to your desired intention. Your situations should reflect your desired outcome. Surround yourself with those who mirror your desires for yourself. As an example, if your intention is to write a book, then get to know successful writers, join writers’ organizations, take a class, or whatever gets you to the starting point.

Taking full responsibility for your intentions can be scary. If you want to change and enhance your current reality, then take charge of your reality. Be present to your true intentions and garner the will, the motivation, to take action to make a difference. It all starts with the first step!

PERCEIVE: Grasp Mentally Our perception guides us into directions, subconsciously, without any resistance. Our environment can dictate what we do or say, if we allow it. Living substandard does not mean you have to live substandard. It’s how we accept substandard living. As toddlers, we are not conditioned to what elders think. As we grow older, we start to see and hear our parents talk about negative things, like bills, food, fights over money, etc. It’s those moments that start conditioning us to think of our position. We look at where we are and connect our parents’ thoughts and actions to those situations.

It’s almost certain that we will carry on our generation’s negativity to the next.

Courage...

“Whatever you do, you need courage. Whatever course you decide upon, there is always someone to tell you that you are wrong. There are always difficulties arising that tempt you to believe your critics are right. To map out a course of action and follow it to an end requires some of the same courage that a soldier needs. Peace has its victories, but it takes brave men and women to win them.”

They say that at six years old you are who you’re going to be. Your character has developed and you will build on that character. So you see, kids are absorbing everything. It’s dormant and can come alive anytime during adulthood off triggers. No matter where you live.

Life can be good as long as there’s lots of love and understanding. A lot of love builds confidence and prepares for adulthood. Thus, it’s vital that as adults, we talk with them, and not at them.

Ralph Waldo Emerson 44

w w w. B o d y M i n d S p i r i t G u i d e . c o m

March 2018

Our mind is a clear canvas. We have the power to paint anything we desire on it. But at a young age, we aren’t always told we have this ability. Dare to dream and encourage others also. Paint your picture of where you want to be and become that picture. You are in control of the brush.

Be aware of the right to dream!

Conquer all challenges that come your way. But before you can do anything, you must PERCEIVE IT! By perceiving, we mean that something must exist in your mind before it becomes a reality. In order to achieve your dreams and aim in life, it’s extremely vital that you have clarity of mind, i.e., your dreams should be ‘definable’ in real terms. For instance, it’s not enough that you dream to be a popular man or woman. Rather, you should be certain what it is that’ll bring you popularity. If you want to be an actor, shape your dreams accordingly. Similarly, if you wish to be a sportsperson, dream like one. Because it’s dreams that come true and not the other way around.

BELIEVE: Have Faith Believe is the second principle that allows action. Your strong belief allows what you perceived to come to reality. Belief allows the mechanics to prevail. Educating yourself on what you perceived brings more conviction to your belief. People perceive things every day but lack the belief to make it happen. If you say money is an issue, which stops you, then your belief was not strong enough, because you’ll find a way, if you truly BELIEVE in it.

Believing in oneself allows unlimited possibilities. You can perceive anything but without believing in it, it remains a thought. An internal belief is the driving force behind successful people. They believed in themselves when others didn’t. Successful people use rejection

as fuel to keep going.

Passion and perseverance is the byproduct of BELIEVE. Believing in something that keeps you up at night figuring out ways to make something better. Believing in something brings an overflow of energy that can overcome obstacles. Believing in something gives us a reason for living.

Focus on what you believe in and give it your 100% (family, work, yourself, etc.)!!

When our belief system is out of commission and our daily lives become robotic, we are not taking advantage of what life has to offer. Our mind is one of the greatest gifts we could get. Our mind allows us to be who we want to be, without hesitation. Our mind allows us to keep great memories, think of new ones, help people, love, etc.

BUT YOU MUST BELIEVE YOU CAN BEFORE YOU SET OUT TO GET WHAT YOU BELIEVE IN! ANYTHING IS POSSIBLE IF YOU BELIEVE IT IS! Spirituality is singularly based on the power of faith. It’s not for nothing that the famous spiritual gurus and sages vouched for faith as the sole decider of your fate! However, they professed of unflinching ‘faith’ in the Creator as distinguished from ‘belief’. If faith can move mountains, then imagine what belief can do, which is nothing but faith in one’s own self, one’s capabilities, one’s convictions, and one’s PERCEPTION. ACHIEVE: Accomplish, Get By Effort You can Perceive something, believe in it, now you must ACHIEVE it.

Achieving something is the greatest reward one gets for perceiving an idea, putting enough belief in the idea, and now making it happen.

Those who achieved their objective learned the secret at the end, “That they knew they could!” Look all around

March 2018 w w w. B o d y M i n d S p i r i t G u i d e . c o m

you and think about things you have no clue how they did it (i.e. planes, rockets, landing on the moon, etc.). Before it happened, people thought: “RIGHT! It had to happen!!” But they didn’t know that on the other side of that equation, there was a determined person who perceived the thought of flight, believed it could be done after researching it, and then achieved it. They are just normal people with enough passion and perseverance to ACHIEVE things others thought were impossible.

In short, achieving is putting your perception to test by believing in it and working towards its attainment!

Undoubtedly, you’ll come across a plethora of hurdles, and it’s in crossing them successfully that lies your goal of achieving what you perceived and believed in. The only difference between an average Joe or Jane and the so-called ACHIEVERS is that the latter believed passionately in what they perceived diligently.

It’s your chance to be an ACHIEVER and a SUCCESS in life!! Miss this chance at your own peril.

These PBA principles are based on giving your 100%. Encourage those, whose ideas may sometimes seem implausible and out of reach, to continue.

There is no such thing as failure, as it just tells you just what not to do. If we gave up the first time something didn’t work, we would’ve never experienced those greatest inventions of our time, like the light bulb, cars, airplanes, etc.

The PBA principals are a road map to life. Use them responsibly. Enjoy the journey! And remember, there is no shortcut to success.

The Power of Positive Affirmations

athlete’s mind, takes hold, and their ability to move beyond the challenge is either enhanced or limited by it. The doctor’s research included a study with psychologists, psychiatrists, and neurologists. What he found is that it takes less than a billionth of a volt of energy to change your mind, and you generate many times more than that amount every time you sneeze.

By Ray Fraser

This article has been on my mind for some time; I’ve hesitated to write it because the principle of it is so simplistic – everyone knows that – right? Well evidently not.

The premise is that positive affirmations can change your life. Even I had been skeptical. Yet only days ago a client called and told me that by using daily positive affirmations she had developed a new self-image and outlook on life.

I gave her an affirmation that I give to literally all of my clients. It’s simple: Every day when you wake up, walk into the bathroom and look yourself eye-to-eye in the mirror and tell yourself, I deserve the very best today, and I do not accept anything less.

go. He knew there would be vaulters there who were much more experienced, with higher vaults than he had ever achieved. There were a couple of months before the trials, so he took a chance, he called THE very best vaulter in the world, a Russian, and asked him if he could give him a few pointers. Not only did the ‘great one’ agree, he spent days with Bob teaching him everything he knew.

Bob’s message to us was, “Ask the great ones, they will be happy to share.”

What the teacher did next was the most remarkable thing. He introduced Bob to his team’s doctor, a Frenchman, who dealt with far more than physical injuries.

She attested that the idea had given her the courage to leave a harmful relationship, leading to a mutually affectionate partner. She further added that she had begun to feel an improvement in her self-image and confidence. That brought me to think of another life-changing event I experienced nearly 40 years ago when I worked for IBM. When IBM hosted an awards conference, they would bring in a Key-note speaker for the group. This was 1968, and IBM brought in the Reverend Bob Richards, who happened to be the Gold Metal Winner in the pole vault in the 1956 Olympics.

He explained that in his more than 25 years as a sports doctor, he had studied the mentality of high performing athletes.

What he discovered by talking with the most successful ones and adding clinical research to the mix, was that from the first moment of a human’s ability to comprehend, our attitude about our lives and our futures are being formed in our minds. Whatever form of input we receive, establishes our personal expectation for our life. Heavy positive input can spell a trend for success. Too much negative input will turn the tables in a downward direction. Guess which attitude a majority of people in our world receive...

He told a very interesting story. At the time leading up to the Olympics he felt he was a good pole vaulter, but certainly not world-class. He said the best and worst day of his life was the day he got the invitation to the Olympic trials. He was uncertain if he was even going to

This indoctrination solidifies the foundation of our success quotient; it’s what the French refer to as “ide’e fixe” which translates into English as, Fixed Idea. Whenever a challenge is met, whichever idea is fixed in the

46

w w w. B o d y M i n d S p i r i t G u i d e . c o m

The doctor became very successful by training athletes to remove or modify their ide’e fixe. He created many champion performances with athletes from every country in the world. What does your fixed idea hold? Bob Richards used positive mind training to help himself realize that simply because some people felt that something couldn’t be done, didn’t mean that no one can do it.

I heard a great statement while watching the Olympics this week. It was, “We are put here to do the impossible.”

Another statement I read during our move from Michigan to Seattle; it was in a rest stop taped to a bathroom mirror, it read, “Relax, I checked with your destiny, and you are exactly where you are meant to be.”

Finally, the last thought was given to me by spirit during a recent meditation; it is simply that “Success comes from having the courage to do the things that you don’t have the courage to do.” Bob closed his lecture by saying that he felt that there were at least 25 vaulters in the world that could have beaten him that year, but they never even tried.

Here’s a second affirmation for you, “I can do anything that I set my mind to doing. All negative thoughts are merely motivational energies which will help spur me to higher and more successful efforts.”

I hope you meet people with a different point of view. I hope you live a life you’re proud of. If you find that you’re not, I hope you have the courage to start all over again.”

Eric Roth, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button Screenplay
