Time For The Greatest Gift

Remember, the greatest gift is not found in a store nor under a tree, but in the hearts of true friends.

Yes, the results are in, and the consensus from reading this edition is that “being withâ€? each other and sharing each otherĘźs presence is The Greatest Gift. ThatĘźs great news, now I am off the hook on all the holiday spending!

But the bad news is I still have to manifest the time to show up and share my essence with my loved ones. If only I could stop by the mall and buy some time on sale for the holidays. Hey, IĘźd stop at Time Mart and spend a buck or two for a few extra minutes here and there. Dear God, what does it take for me to manifest an extra hour?

Seriously, I am a person with a severe time crunch. I have seven-habited and multi-tasked myself into a corner. I have smashed seconds into milliseconds. Is it possible to squeeze more out of life? I donĘźt think so. Why is it that I love doing so many different things?

Maybe 2011 will be better. But Leap Year isnĘźt until 2012. (Go figure!) IĘźd be thrilled with one extra day sooner, pretty please?

Change – Big, Fast And Bold

By Mark Sheehan “We need real change, not spare change.�

- Barry Rivers On one of his psychedelic voyages, Terence McKenna said it was the Ęťmachine elvesĘź that told him to study the I Ching. From the study of the 64 hexagrams, he deduced that the rate of novelty was speeding up exponentially as we approach what Terence called at various times, Ęťthe singularity,Ęź or Ęťthe eschaton at the end of history.Ęź We now think of this Omega point as 2012. Clearly, the rate of change is increasing at an astounding rate.

Take communication. Over a few centuries, we went from taking weeks to learn about new developments to the current state where it takes hours. In short order we went from printing to blogging, from telegraph to instant messaging, from coconut wireless to Facebook. The impact on our social and cultural mores has been profound.

Not long ago, young ladies went parading with their chaperones, now they send personal pictures that are, well, quite personal.

Are things really speeding up? When I look at climate change, the speed of the zeitgeist, the frequency of synchronicity, it certainly seems so.

One of the most dramatic - and possibly traumatic - is the area of technological innovation.

There are a many explanations about what is driving this change. One theory is that super storms at the center of our galaxy are bombarding our sun, causing the huge plasma ejections that we see in the giant solar flares. That may account for some of the radical changes we are experiencing on our home planet including violent weather and wild shifts in the electromagnetic grid that girds our globe.

Are these forces driving change in humans?

DREAMING SHAMAN

Could these space forces be driving evolutionary change? Scientists maintain that earthĘźs electromagnetic grid has changed while psychics make the same claim for the human electromagnetic field.

The Mayan calendar offers an explanation of a vast evolutionary scheme that concludes in 2012. Like McKennaĘźs metaphor about novelty, it shows the stages for dramatic increases in rates of change. The next twenty-fold rate of change starts in February 2011. While all this is wildly speculative to some, it also suggests that our human faculties are being augmented in subtle ways to help us deal with these astounding shifts.

So, ask yourself. Could this be true?

Are you on a growth trajectory? Has ĘťcoincidenceĘź increased in your life? Are you seeing connections you didnĘźt see before? Is everything shifting in your life? How are you handling it?

With grace and poise or fear and resistance?

If we relate to this process of dynamic change as a speeding up of our own consciousness, we can understand why there are so many amazing teachers and teachings showing up in our lives.

The Arica trainings that started in the 70s provided tools for accelerating personal development, as have the teachings of Byron Katie and Lama Ole Nydahl, Catherine Ingram, Gangaji, Echart Tolle.

The list goes on. Prem Baba, a shaman/guru with a remarkable message to help us navigate these times, is another amazing guide who is opening hearts and minds to higher dimensions.

Meanwhile, the country just took a sharp right turn. Fortunately, Hawaii and California turned left towards a greener future. Maui too made a significant course correction. If we want to Ęťbe the change we want to see in the world,Ęź this is our chance to

do it where we live.

Barry Rivers is right; we need Ęťtrue change, not chump change.Ęź That will require us to stay grounded, connected and active to implement a green agenda quickly. And while speculation about the cosmic and divine forces is entertaining, it is real change that we create together, here on Maui, that matters most.

My personal goal is to push Maui into a bright, green future - to cajole, urge, inspire and do whatever I can to encourage our political leaders to make this island a vibrant demonstration of green thinking and green action. Imagine fleets of electric cars, next generation wind and solar installations, expanding biofuels, garbage and algae to energy technologies, an R&D park dedicated to green innovations. ItĘźs time invite entrepreneurs to come here and do their experiments, show proof of concept and then invest in the winners. LetĘźs rethink our development priorities for smarter land and water use.

LetĘźs join hearts and minds to envision/create a Bright Green Maui.

This project should be big, fast and bold!

Discover The Greatest Gift -Your Precious Identity

By Peggi Garvey Once while in deep meditation, I heard: “GodĘźs greatest gift to you is your precious identity.â€? When I heard this, I knew it also meant that we would always get to be our unique identities.

I will always get to be Peggi – you will always get to be you. How else could we communicate with those who have “passed over� if they did not retain their identities?

Not only are our identities precious gifts, realizing our identities seems to be a life-long endeavor. We are all in pursuit of our self worth, self love, self acceptance, self authority, and self expression. Every challenge we have helps us to realize something in one of these areas.

When I get frustrated with others who are angry, irritating, or coming from an obvious place of ego, I try to ask myself, “What part of their identities are they trying to realize?� This stepping back and attempting to understand others gives me a great sense of compassion, for them and for myself. I realize that I have done whatever they have done. I am learning whatever they are learning about their precious identity.

A great joy for me is recognizing a personĘźs identity with them. The simplest way to recognize another is to call them by name. I learned this from the late Mayor of Los Angeles, Tom Bradley.

In the 1980Ęźs, I was present at a benefit

he attended and had the opportunity to have a conversation with him. In those 15 minutes he must have called me by my first name five times.

I was aware of how it made me feel and I left him thinking, “Well, he has my vote for life!�

What he was doing was simply recognizing my identity.

I taught a course in self leadership where class members were given an exercise to ask the

names of people they saw in their daily lives but did not know – people like their bank tellers, the grocery clerk, their postman, even their neighbors. It was thrilling for everyone when the shyest girl in the class came in with the longest list of names. Her identity began to blossom as she began to recognize the identity of others.

Doing this helps us to feel connected to others, and it shows profound respect for them.

It also reminds us to be aware of ourselves.

One way of being in touch with our own identities is to check in with ourselves, say, three times a day with questions like, “How do I feel? What do I need?� This keeps us aware of who and where we are and helps us to care for ourselves.

Another way to be connected with your self is through deep meditation. I think all forms of meditation are wonderful, but focusing on my own identity at the level of Spirit helps me to know who I truly am. In meditation you may want to ask your “I Am Self� to merge with you, fill you with its presence, and give you a teaching in an area of your life. Let your Spirit give you the greatest gift of all.

A New Way To Eat – Beyond Cleansing!

By Grace Purusha If you sincerely want a different health experience in 2011, ask yourself, “What will I actually need to do to fulfill that desire?� An unconditionally loving, yet scrutinizing inventory of your current habits will point the way.

Have you noticed how often people do a “cleanseâ€? and then three months later their symptoms are back and theyĘźve regained the weight they lost? No mystery here. A cleanse can quell some destined-to-return symptoms, but will rarely address or change the underlying causes of recurring health issues resulting from poor habits deeply entrenched over a lifetime. Our high hopes, energy, time, and financial investment into quality supplements, soups, juices, and traditional cleansing therapies work short-term, but are not dependable for correcting harmful patterns, food “addictionsâ€? or emotional eating.

ItĘźs like growing a garden; we canĘźt avoid the real work to achieve better health. ThereĘźs no quick fix for making a tomato grow on the vine. You canĘźt give it your best for two weeks and expect a lush crop. It takes daily commitment over sustained periods of time, and often the expertise and assistance of those whoĘźve already succeeded.

ItĘźs exciting to be engaged with people who are passionate about making needed changes, or seriously wanting to produce long-term health. This decision isnĘźt for the weak of heart, but for those who, despite their often self-proclaimed “lazierâ€? tendencies or lack of discipline, are truly ready to experience the victory of doing what needs to be done.

One sure “Greatest Gift of Allâ€? is to feel enough love for yourself that you could declare, “IĘźm going to do whatever it takes to learn, practice, adjust, and abide in a relationship with food and eating that upgrades the experience I am having in my body to one that is satisfying, enlivening, and enjoyable!â€?

Two Best Tips For 2011: • Learn, practice, and commit to prepare and feed yourself nutritious, delicious, healthy food. Keep it simple with as little effort as possible. • Be radically honest about what foods are best for you to avoid.

Decide how often you will allow them. Enjoy the high of being disciplined.

IĘźve had blessed opportunities to take on health challenges that have profoundly changed the fabric of my being in ways that many other attempts had failed. I had to. I determined the requirements and showed up fully. What a sense of fulfillment! When addressed and met, rather than regretfully ignored, these are the choices and efforts we inevitably celebrate when we review our lives.The most rewarding things in life come with this degree of dedication.

Take yourself to a new place in 2011. Feel unabashedly passionate about this possibility. Whether you think you can or not, or feel discouraged that you have not succeeded previously doesnĘźt matter. ItĘźs all about NOW. If youĘźve had enough of short term fixes, diets, embarrassment, discomfort, or lack of faith in your ability, all that is needed is your desire, willingness, and the right support to take you through the process. DonĘźt give up! Go for your dream! Know you can have it!

Grace Purusha, health coach, mentor, and author of The Five Essential Laws of Eating, trains students to achieve high levels of vitality and make needed health shifts. Be sure to attend, “Better Health 2011, Sure and Simple,� January 10th. Grace trains students on how to produce lasting change and improvement with weight and chronic symptoms through their eating.

Stay Calm Through The Holidays With Magnesium

By Judy Phillips According to the National Institutes of Health, our bodies use magnesium in more than 300 metabolic reactions. Magnesium helps maintain normal muscle and nerve function, steadies heart rhythms, and supports our immune systems. Additionally, magnesium regulates blood sugar levels, blood pressure, and enhances metabolism. Yet, one recent government study shows that 68% of Americans do not consume the recommended daily intake of magnesium.

For decades, statisticians have demonstrated that the majority of Americans do not get the governmentĘźs minimum daily requirement of magnesium and unfortunately, these statistics have been largely ignored by the traditional medical community.

A lack of magnesium underlies our epidemic of heart disease, high blood pressure, diabetes and osteoporosis, according to Lawrence Resnick, M.D., a professor of medicine at Cornell Medical Center. Decreased levels of magnesium are also related to kidney stones, heart disease and cardiac arrhythmias.

In a study done at the Department of AgricultureĘźs Human Nutrition Research Center in Grand Forks, N.D., women with magnesium deďŹ ciencies had higher heart rates and required more oxygen to do physical tasks than they did after their magnesium levels were restored.

To date, over 200 published clinical studies document the importance of magnesium. Many of these studies were completed within the last

decade, supporting the theory that changes in the American diet have further depleted our bodiesĘź reserves of magnesium.

Studies suggest that magnesium deďŹ ciency may also be one of the causes of insomnia, a condition experienced by an estimated one out of two Americans.

Magnesium eases anxiety, relaxes muscles and nerves resulting in an overall improvement of your nightĘźs sleep. A lack of magnesium can alter electrical activity in the brain, causing agitated sleep and frequent awakenings. “It looks like magnesium is important for a good nightĘźs sleep,â€? says USDA researcher Forrest H. Nielsen.

When the things that “go bump in the nightâ€? seem like sonic booms and wake you from sleep, the problem could be magnesium deďŹ ciency.

Magnesium has a calming effect on the nervous system and, in fact, has recently received considerable attention as an inexpensive transdermal protocol that can resolve and alleviate many sleep disturbances.

Magnesium is considered the “anti-stress�

mineral and is a natural tranquilizer. In the elderly, magnesium was found to improve sleep by decreasing the release of cortisol, a known cause of sleep disruption. Stress depletes magnesium and magnesium relieves stress. When your magnesium levels are low, your nervous system gets out of balance and you feel on edge, naturally resulting in tightening muscles.

Although we expect sleep to relax us, when magnesium levels are low, it may not. When we sleep, muscle groups move and stretch, preparing for the next dayĘźs activities. Magnesium works with the calcium in our bodies to help our muscles ďŹ rst contract and then relax again.

Muscles contract with the help of stored calcium.

Magnesium is the mineral that helps them relax.

Without enough magnesium, muscles are unable to fully relax after contractions and nighttime muscle cramps develop, causing another sleep disruption.

Getting magnesium through your skin is not only easy, it bypasses the organs so it does not cause a laxative effect, replaces levels at a faster rate, and you see results sooner. A transdermal application of magnesium oil or gel can alleviate, if not eliminate, all of these problems and help you sleep restfully throughout the night.

Awareness,

The Greatest Gift

By Liah Howard When asked about our greatest gifts, we might say they are our loved ones, the moment, and the beauty around us. But without awareness, these gifts are meaningless.

Many a glorious sunset has gone unnoticed by a tired person, many a gift from a spouse lost in the shufďŹ&#x201A;e. Practicing awareness means consciously paying attention to all that life brings at every moment, through both external stimuli and our internal thoughts. By coming home and being fully present, breathing deeply and noticing our surroundings we ďŹ nd an endless ďŹ eld of perception in which to be aware, ďŹ lling the moment and tapping into divine timing, guiding us forward into conscious decisions. Awareness is like a compass that guides our lives back to our true selves.

LetĘźs consider the opposite of awareness. Have you ever found yourself driving home like a robot, not even noticing your surroundings, until you almost hit the car in front of you? Have you ever arrived home and barely registered the joy in your childĘźs eyes as youĘźre still thinking about work, until she plops down in your lap with a picture she drew for you?

Whether through pain or beauty, the universe is constantly offering you the ability to tune in and be fully aware of the moment. Children easily read those cues.

They notice the tiniest details and comment on them with delight. I gave birth naturally to four children and nothing compares to the intense awareness that consumed me during those powerful contractions.

I had to ride them, stay with them and stay present bringing all of my attention to the breath and to relaxing my body and opening to the surge of energy moving through. This was an exquisite blend of pain and beauty acting as a powerful catalyst for focusing on the now.

People fear that they donĘźt have enough time in this life to accomplish all the things they want to do before they die. There is a frantic rush to cram in as much in as possible. But awareness is blurred when rushing occurs. Days turn into weeks, months ďŹ&#x201A;y by and suddenly lifeĘźs moments are lost in the haze of hurrying. The awareness of our true selves reminds us of the most basic maxim: itĘźs quality not quantity that matters. One fully aware and present second is worth hours of sleep-walking. ThatĘźs where we understand that everything is on divine timing anyway.

This sense of being connected to a larger plan where all is well and all is happening in a divine ďŹ&#x201A;ow lies dormant under our busy lives waiting to be discovered. Awareness practice can take the form of meditation, martial arts, dance, and other creative outlets that allow us to become free of time constraints and present in the moment. Paying attention to our feelings, thoughts, and the divine movement below them can reveal the depth of the true self that is calling to us behind the lives we are living.

Choose now to cultivate an active awareness of life. In this openness you will remember how magniďŹ cent you are and open to the love in your life. This moment right now is your most precious gift â&#x20AC;&#x201C; if you are aware of it! You are being divinely guided right now! Your inner compass is activated in this ever-present moment.

The Enneagram Of Liberation

Waking Up To Your True Self

By Eli Jaxon-Bear The word enneagram comes from the Greek and means â&#x20AC;&#x153;nine-sided.â&#x20AC;? The Enneagram of Character Fixation identiďŹ es nine different egoic masks clustered into three primary classiďŹ cations: anger, hysteria and fear.

Within those classiďŹ cations, there are three anger points, hysteric or â&#x20AC;&#x153;imageâ&#x20AC;? points, and fear points. These make up the nine basic ego types. In the physical body, the ďŹ xation is anger-based. In the mental body, it is fearbased and when it is in the emotional body, it is shame-based hysteria. These three primary ďŹ xations are all based on fear of anger, love, fear and death.

Thirty years ago, this teaching was called the Enneagram of Personality, and it was taught as such for many years. But my understanding of the Enneagram is fundamentally different: rather than working from the personality level, I find that it actually describes a deeper layer of character ďŹ xation.

Personality refers to conditioned qualities or tendencies that can change over time. Character ďŹ xation, however, remains constant. It is the primary mode which, quite predictably, determines thinking, feelings and behaviour, the bedrock upon which personality is built.

The Enneagram of Character Fixation gives us a detailed map of how consciousness is ďŹ xated for each character type. It reveals the habitual mind patterns that we identify with and believe to be who we really are.

The patterns are so familiar to us that they are believed to be our essence when, in fact,

Eli Jaxon-Bear and Gangaji they are an impostor, a shallow covering of our true essence.

Pure essence naturally shines through when the ďŹ xation is not running and the mind is still. It does not need to be healed, created, or attained, but simply realized to be the permanent nature of oneĘźs being.

To believe that you are limited to â&#x20AC;&#x153;meâ&#x20AC;? â&#x20AC;&#x201C; my name, body, thoughts, feelings, and sensations â&#x20AC;&#x201C; you must overlook the everpresent truth of who you really are: pure, unlimited, empty, silent, conscious love.

This subconscious idea of who we think we are compels us to live and react mechanically: searching for happiness and running from fear. Meanwhile, we remain

mostly unaware of the deeper motivations rooted in the false belief that we are our persona, separate and unique from everything else. To question the reality of what we call â&#x20AC;&#x153;meâ&#x20AC;? has, in the past, been very rare.

In our spiritual community what often happens now is that the ego incorporates spiritual beliefs, concepts and experiences â&#x20AC;&#x201C; whatever may have been glimpsed, experienced for a moment or believed into the egoic me.

Character ďŹ xation in itself is not the problem. The problem occurs when the fixation machine is running and taken personally. Once you recognize the ďŹ xation as a machine, you can stop any personal involvement. This personal involvement is the ego. When personal involvement is gone, problems are gone and everything unfolds naturally.

Fortunately, once we recognize that what we are calling â&#x20AC;&#x153;meâ&#x20AC;? is just a pattern (and there are many others who have the same pattern), then we can no longer take it quite so personally. We may then choose to stop identifying with the pattern. If one is ďŹ rm in the willingness to not indulge in false conceptions of self, and to search directly for truth, then one dies to the unreal and lives in the revelation of true being.

Eli Jaxon-Bear is the author of The Enneagram of Liberation, and Sudden Awakening, and the editor of Wake Up and Roar.

He and his life partner of 35 years, Gangaji will be leading retreats on Maui in February, 2011. For more information please visit leela.org or contact Grace at 808.283.1222, gracelove@hawaiiantel.net.

In Loving Tribute To Nahi'ena'ena - Fire Woman

By Marci Winters When Cynthia Renee â&#x20AC;&#x153;Nahiâ&#x20AC;? Guzman, 61, succumbed to breast cancer on September 23, 2010, many people close to her felt the light go out. Devoted to Maui, Nahi'ena'ena was a medicine woman who embodied deep, unconditional love and shared her healing gifts with all people, regardless of religious afďŹ liation or color.

Born here in 1949, Nahi was surprisingly humble and was called the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Spirit of Aloha Incarnate.â&#x20AC;? Her grandmother, Ambrosia, and mother, Lucille, taught her the sacredness of the land and the healing power of herbs.

NahiĘźs teacher Sonny Reyna, spiritual elder of the Yaqui Nation, gave her the name â&#x20AC;&#x153;Fire Woman.â&#x20AC;?

Apache medicine man Grey Wolf Nantan Lupan, grandson to Geronimo, taught her the medicine wheel and initiated her as Sacred Pipe Carrier of the Apache and Rainbow Nations. Nahi came to know and love Chief Thunderhorse of the Seminole-Calusa Nation. He passed on the Beauty Way teachings to her and ordained her as a chieftess and medicine woman of the Seminole-Calusa Tribe.

In Hawaiian healing traditions, she learned the expert techniques of lomi lomi from Papa Kalua of Napili and later from Bula Logan. She received instruction in ancient Hawaiian hula and chanting from Kuma Hula Keala Kukona. Nahi was in almost constant demand to perform ceremonies, blessings, Hawaiian weddings, hoĘźoponopono sessions, shaman huna training workshops and lomi lomi healing massage.

A metaphysician and reiki master, she stated that her purpose in life was to â&#x20AC;&#x153;help people transform their souls to full enlightenment through letting go of the old habits and painful past lifetimes. We will reawaken your spirit to reclaim your spiritual power.â&#x20AC;?

When she became ill, family and friends worldwide prayed for her.

As time passed, she became completely at peace, knowing how much she was loved by her family and many countless souls.

Laughing Through Life

By Suzan Proia, C.Ht.

I have a gift for you.

Well, actually, the universe has a gift for you, but I want to remind you about it. What if I told you (seriously) that this gift has magical powers? This is a present that can do amazing things for you and your body.

If you choose to utilize it, it can: - strengthen your immune system - boost your circulation - oxygenate your organs - move lymph ďŹ&#x201A;uids and release toxins - help you cope with life stress - lessen your pain - improve your outlook - lift depression and, (drum roll, please)â&#x20AC;Ś - exercises your abdominal muscles.

You donĘźt have to open it, install it, ingest it, or measure it, or wear it. Just allow itâ&#x20AC;Śand let yourself laugh!

Laughter and humor can heal. It has been proven. Few sounds are as infectious as laughter â&#x20AC;&#x201C; hearing a child giggling, reading something that tickles you until you laugh out loud, or sharing a deep belly laugh with friends that turns into aching cheeks and happy tears.

When you create opportunities to insert humor into your life, you feel happier and lighter.

It can improve your health and it is good for your heart and soul. Laughter is a gift that comes with no strings attached, and it is always available to enjoy.

The next time life throws some mud your way, head for the humor section of the bookstore or a comedy club, watch a funny movie or seek out a friend who has a great sense of humor and share a good laugh. You will both reap the beneďŹ ts.

Suzan Proia, C.Ht. is an EFT practitioner and certiďŹ ed hypnotherapist. Her international private practice is based on Maui.

Suzan specializes in eliminating stress, weight issues, insomnia, relationship issues and personal excellence. For a free consultation, call 808.870.9754 or visit mypowerfulself.com.

Ram Dass: From Being Just â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hereâ&#x20AC;? To â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being Love Nowâ&#x20AC;?

By Eric T. Richter and Maribeth Theisen Ram Dass would be the ďŹ rst to admit that heĘźs not holier than thou.

HeĘźs comfortably situated in his Haiku home with sweeping views of the PaciďŹ c, surrounded by hundreds of books and spiritual artifacts from his journey of over 40 years of intense study, yoga practices and introspection. For one of the most inďŹ&#x201A;uential spiritual explorers and teachers of our time, he is remarkably down to earth.

After years of traveling the world over giving lectures and workshops and facilitating retreats, heĘźs focusing on contentment.

His new book, Be Love Now, was just published in early November. â&#x20AC;&#x153;IĘźm content, I donĘźt have to be achieving.

The book (Be Love Now) is ďŹ nishing up stuff. The books I read, I read because I want to read, not because I ought to read them. IĘźm not driven,â&#x20AC;? he says. He laughs as he relates what transpired during a recent dinner with Daniel Ellsberg, who leaked the secret Pentagon Papers to the New York Times in 1971, eroding public support for the Vietnam War. â&#x20AC;&#x153;He told me how he wants to get out and do things. I want to sit here content. He criticized me for my lax social responsibility. I found him lax in his Self, in going inward.â&#x20AC;?

A Maui resident since 2004, the 79-year-old was born Richard Alpert to a prominent Jewish family in Newton, Massachusetts. He became a leading ďŹ gure in the center of the vortex of the 1960s counterculture.

Together with fellow professor Timothy Leary, he conducted the Harvard Psychedelic Project in the early 1960s, experimenting with the effects of psychedelic drugs on human subjects. After getting ďŹ red from Harvard in 1963, he spent a few years experimenting with LSD and observing others doing the same. This fueled his quest to discover the psychological â&#x20AC;&#x153;maps of consciousnessâ&#x20AC;? that led him eventually to explore India in 1967.

In many ways, his new Be Love Now book is an intriguing tribute to his Hindu guru, Neem Karoli Baba (affectionately nicknamed Maharaj-ji) whom he encountered while traveling from village to village in India. He shares the inside story of what transpired on his journey of enlightenment, including intimate details of Maharaj-jiĘźs playful antics, a bit of spiritual politics involving another guru, Swami Muktananda, and amazing stories of some other saints encountered along the way.

On their ďŹ rst encounter, Ram Dass was blown away by the fact that Maharaj-ji could read his mind and knew everything about him.

Ram Dass recognized his guru just loved him, regardless of his faults and self-judgments. Coming to India with a huge Western ego as a

former Harvard professor, he sees as his greatest accomplishment that he was able to surrender to his guru. Now his deepest insight, he says, is â&#x20AC;&#x153;God and guru and self are One inside me.â&#x20AC;?

The central message of the book is about love, hints about how to develop an awareness within you and to recognize others as Souls.

From this perspective, you can see the Oneness of everything and begin to relate to others with unconditional love.

And beyond that is the next level, where Ram Dass says â&#x20AC;&#x153;You merge into the One. You donĘźt experience because there is no doing, thereĘźs only being. You realize you are one with God.â&#x20AC;?

The bookĘźs detailed descriptions of the inward journey and Eastern spiritual practices, coming from a humble but knowing sage, make it a must-have for seekers to complete their libraries.

Four years after his ďŹ rst visit to India, his book Be Here Now was published, eventually selling (and continuing to sell) over 2 million copies. It has also just been re-released in book form and an enhanced digital form. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Be Here Now was a tremendously transformational book,â&#x20AC;? he says. â&#x20AC;&#x153;Hundreds of people got launched on their path through that book. I am very joyful about that.â&#x20AC;? He helped create two organizations, Hanuman Foundation, and Seva Foundation to serve others, and has published a multitude of books.

Is he afraid of dying? â&#x20AC;&#x153;IĘźve certainly ďŹ nished with being scared about dying. Dying is another moment. As a soul, I have faith in reincarnation, therefore this death, at the end of this encounter, is going to be another moment. The ego is part of the incarnation, so is frightened about death because itĘźs its end. It ends its own chapter. I think that there is a moment after death in which you are in Soul Land, and you meet your guru or guide or angel and the two of you look at past incarnations, what karma you have got and what incarnations took care of that karma.â&#x20AC;?

For now, Ram Dass is no longer interested in getting high, because he feels so full, in a blissful state of loving grace. The love he feels is so overwhelming, it includes inanimate objects, as he points to the wall. â&#x20AC;&#x153;IĘźm having a time now with Love, my mind says itĘźs not rational, IĘźm crazy, but IĘźm loving this wall!â&#x20AC;?

For more information on upcoming events with Ram Dass on Maui, including a retreat Dec. 15-20, visit RamDass.org. You can purchase Be Love Now and Be Here Now at book stores and online.

A Gift Of Personal Power

By Candle Summers Personal power – do you use and develop it or are you someone who tends to give it away? If you are always looking to someone or something outside of yourself for the answers, then you probably give most of your power away.

One of the great benefits of personal development is remembering and rediscovering your personal power.

Personal power is having the ability to question yourself until you find the answer that is right for you. All the answers that you seek are, in fact, within you. This might sound like a cliche, but experience it yourself.

It is difficult to connect with your personal power if you lack selfconfidence and have not yet developed inner trust. It may feel easier and more accurate to follow what someone else is saying and thinking - basically to simply receive answers. However, this feeling is short-lived because the next time something challenging comes up, you may find yourself once again needing to go outside of yourself.

Through self-reflection, you can ask difficult questions and start to go within. With time, you develop the ability to find your answers more quickly and accurately. You gain the ability to listen to your intuition and to your emotional guidance system.

To develop this gift yourself, you must take the time to be still, to quiet yourself and your mind. There are many tools and strategies that you can use to support yourself, like bodywork, mindfulness meditation, therapeutic models, coaching and other tools mentioned in this magazine.

The goal is to gain self-knowledge and not be dependent on something external.

So, the next time you deal with an issue, take some time to be just with yourself and start developing and accessing your inner gifts.

Candle Summers is a massage therapist practicing in Kula. To contact her call 808.878.6484, see the ad in this magazine, or go to her website: candlesummers.com.

The Gift Of Self-Reflection

By Sherry Winter Through the gift of self-reflection, we review our lives within the context of what we experience in our lives and the lives of those around us. It enables us to make rational decisions about how we want to live.

Through self-reflection, we see things we like about our lives and things we do not. It is a tool given to us to think about how we live, even though weʼre not always thrilled at the information it gives us. In fact, it can be quite disappointing. But that may be its purpose since it allows us to see what we need to change in our lives to grow.

Self-reflection gives us insight and direction and points us to where we need to go. Sometimes it will nag us until we can no longer ignore it. It helps us to perceive the world around us and become proactive in creating new ways of being.

What change is self-reflection asking you to make at this time in your life? What is it showing you?

Are you willing to listen? I am listening. It is telling me to buckle up, accept life more gracefully, do not take things personally, realize there is support in the universe, and define new goals.

Sound familiar?

We are the human condition sharing our growth on this planet. When I meet you, you provide a mirror, a reflection of your life to mine. You help me to determine what holds value in my life and to find ways to express that. Thank you for this gift.

Sherry Winter is a business owner, author, photographer and facilitator of circle gatherings. She and co-author Nancy McCreight have published a book Celebration Circles: A Guide to Celebrating and Honoring People and Events in our Lives, a step-by-step guide to creating gatherings that embrace and honor lifeʼs journeys, available on Amazon.com and Barnes and Noble.com.

Powerful Gift Of Presence

By Amrita and Apollo Grace Imagine you have a dear friend who is dying. All of her needs are taken care of. There is nothing physical she needs from you and nothing you can “fix.” What you can give her is the powerful gift of your presence, which heals, comforts, and enlivens.

We would like to share this gift with you and invite you to share it with others. It costs nothing, takes little effort, and the rewards are innumerable. You can practice exchanging this gift with another person by engaging in the following simple, powerful and revealing exercise designed to strengthen your ability to hold presence: 1. Decide which of you will be the first to offer your presence.

2. Notice what is happening in your body, mind, emotions, and your breath-self presence.

3. The person receiving speaks for two minutes about something that is very alive for them in the moment.

4. The person offering maintains eye contact and listens without facial expression, gestures or words. This may feel uncomfortable at first.

5. Switch partners using the same instructions.

6. Afterwards, share with each other what that was like.

We have found that itʼs not necessary to validate anotherʼs words or experience – our powerful presence alone can be validation enough while allowing the receivers to be fully engaged in their own experiences.

As a loving couple, we bring the gift of presence into our relationship every day. As healing arts practitioners, presence is the foundation of our sessions. Presence is a gift we choose to give and receive, to offer and to ask for.

Amrita Grace is the author of Reclaiming Aphrodite-The Journey to Sexual Wholeness. Amrita and Apollo bring the powerful gift of presence to their offerings: intimacy and relationship coaching, spiritual sexual education, sexual healing and trauma recovery, and inspirational speaking.

Amrita can be reached at 808.283.6203 or amritagrace.com. Apollo can be reached at 808.283.6320 or core-light.com.

Manifesting Your Own World In Every Moment

By Kevin L Beatty This time of year, more so than any other, I like to reďŹ&#x201A;ect upon the many gifts that life has afforded me. IĘźm not talking about the things people buy for me as much as IĘźm thinking about the gifts that we create for ourselves as the creators of our own worlds.

The term â&#x20AC;&#x153;manifestâ&#x20AC;? means to make clear or evident to the eye or the understanding; show plainly. How miraculous that we can each manifest our own worlds, no two exactly alike, while sharing a common planet!

There are potentially millions of bits of information available to our minds at any given moment. But, as George Miller suggested in 1956, we can only process about seven at one time. That means that the odds of any two people consciously experiencing the same scene identically are astronomical. Each of their subconscious minds would have to process the same seven or so items out of millions available every instant that the speciďŹ c scene unfolded to the conscious mind.

The subconscious mind represents 90 percent of the human mindĘźs full capacity. It collects all of the data available to the senses, not just the seven items per moment that the conscious mind can handle. Based on the knowledge and experiences that guide it, the subconscious mind analyzes all the incoming data and delivers it to the conscious mind in chunks of about seven pieces at a time.

This information is the most important or relevant to the working belief system.

We come into this world with a certain

amount of knowledge retained from previous lives and time spent between lives. This knowledge is stored in our subconscious minds. Beginning at birth, we manifest our own world based on how we perceive the scenes unfolding before us. From the ďŹ rst instant we all share a common planet, but no two people live in exactly the same world!

We each manifest our own worlds, moment by moment, based upon our needs and experiences. We do so by having individual perceptions

of shared experiences. IĘźve noticed that whatever I focus on the most I tend to bring into my life.

That is because an inďŹ nite ďŹ eld of possibilities is available to every person, every moment of every day. It is our subconscious mind that decides our fates based upon what it chooses to share with our conscious mind. I like to say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;You must believe to perceive.â&#x20AC;?

The part of our belief systems that is established between lifetimes, before birth, is inďŹ&#x201A;exible. That part is speciďŹ cally designed to guide us to the lessons we came into this life to learn.

It is the remaining part of our belief systems that offers us such opportunity. There are many ways to change our beliefs, particularly those that are limiting and were established based on faulty information and misinterpretation of information during our childhoods. When we change our beliefs, our subconscious mind begins delivering a different seven bits of information to the conscious mind and we begin to manifest a completely different world!

Life is a journey that is only limited by our own limiting beliefs. Begin to believe the best for yourself and you will manifest the life of your dreams. Literally!

The greatest gift is the gift of perception!

Finding The Kissing-Christ Of Your Heart!

By Dreaming-Bear Kanaan You are a discovery on my heartĘźs doorstep! IĘźm picking up the package of your smile and shaking it to see what I can hear giggling inside, undoing the ribbon of separation keeping us from exploring one anotherĘźs authenticity, & enjoying each and every eager inch of the mystery dissolving into the discovery of your gift-wrapped innocence.

YouĘźve been holding back on this world havenĘźt you? Well, the time for unleashing your intelligence has arrived, because when you give in to the art of being untamed, you become the poster child for satisfaction and freedom. WeĘźre born ĘťloadedĘź & become poverty stricken through neglect.

Truth gives each of her BelovedĘźs surprise custom-hand-made gifts, in the form of a Soul full of color & Light! Existence is an opportunity for artistic expression, each moment, an invitation for creation in which, Love is eagerly rubbing her hands together in excited anticipation saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Come on baby, open yourself up, & letĘźs see what

youĘźve got!â&#x20AC;?

But if you never look within, how will you ever discover who & what you really are? Unwrap your soul of the paper-thin illusion separating you from the One. Just

Correction To Shaman Andrea KalffĘźs E-Mail Address In The October/November Maui Vision

Due to an inadvertent error, we published an incorrect e-mail address to contact Andrea Kalff in the last edition.

You can e-mail her at kalffandrea@yahoo.com.

Her phone numbers were published correctly: 808.280.2308 or 808.573.8363.

tear right through all the hesitation & smalltalk today that keeps us running in semanticcircles second-guessing what name to call God. Rip off the reasons for letting go of LoveĘźs leash, so that the world may know the Light of your presence as Laughter.

But listen, BeautyĘźs gifts are set to multiply once youĘźve been opened & the only way to stay poor in this insane-love-game with life, is to Not give away your most precious parts of the Present to someone in need. Give your devotion away my Dear, give it all away for free, without a thought of ever needing to get more in return. For, why ransom cups-of-compassion to your most honored guests, when there is an inďŹ nite well always overďŹ&#x201A;owing in your SoulĘźs basement? Enough holy-wine for the whole hurting world to have communion with the Kissing-Christ of your heart!

So take the Truth of these words & let them be the catalyst that opens up your HeartĘźs pockets, & give, give, give this dry-world a drink from the divine-depths of your own gifted heart.

LIFE BETWEEN LIVES - Spiritual Regression.

This work is based on the groundbreaking research and instruction of Michael Newton, PhD., author of the best-selling books Journey of Souls and Life Between Lives. Life Between Lives hypnosis is both an extension of, and evolution beyond, Past Life Regression.

The techniques of Life Between Lives hypnotherapy allow us access to Soul memories while in a state of consciousness we call the superconscious mind.

Connected to our eternal self, we are able to find the answers to age-old questions such as “Who am I?” “Why am I here?” and “Where do I come from?”

How To Prepare For A Healing

By Rev. Debbie Dehm L.M.T There are many healing practices of all types on Maui, from massage techniques to sound healing, EFT, IET, shamanism, counseling, energy healing, etc. There are too many to list. But, they all have one thing in common: the common denominator is that they all need your cooperation to be effective.

Now, by cooperation I am not talking about giving them permission and just laying on a table expecting them to fix you. You must participate in your own healing for it to be effective and long- lasting. So here is a list of tips: 1. Come with a specific intent in mind.

Know what you expect from them and be willing to participate.

2. Choose the appropriate healer for your intent. Ask questions before making an appointment. Can this person help you with your intent?

3. Be willing to go to an uncomfortable place, either physically or emotionally if necessary. Healing is not always enjoyable, but you will feel better when it is over.

4. DonĘźt expect miracles in one session. Healing can take time. The first session with any healer should be one of â&#x20AC;&#x153;getting to know each otherâ&#x20AC;? and building trust. Give someone you have carefully chosen at least 3 sessions to help you.

5. Keep a journal. Write down your intent, how you felt before and how you felt after a session. Then wait and write down how you feel the next day.

6. The most important thing you can do to prepare is believe that you can be healed. Your body knows exactly what you need and a healer is only a facilitator and has no power without your bodyĘźs cooperation.

Trust your body and Creator to know what you need and restore you to perfect health.

Debbie Dehm is a nationally-certified Hawaii licensed massage therapist and reiki master. For more information, visit her website at compassionatehealing.biz or call her at 808.856.2065.

MauiĘźs Winter Solstice

By Eliza Bassett The chart for the first day of winter shows that Maui has an Aries rising personality colored by its ruler (Mars) in Capricorn for the next three months. This means that the Ęťme firstĘź personality will be tempered by practical and useful action with direct awareness of long term results.

The Moon is placed in Cancer, just after a lunar eclipse on December 20 at 10:14 am. Located in the 3rd house, the urge to communicate significant emotions around the need to nurture self vs. others can be strongly expressed. This can be especially experienced within families, siblings and on the phone or in e-mails.

There are four planets clustered in the 9th house of higher education, long-distance travel and philosophy. Continuing to reach potential clients overseas, those who are interested in exploring their spiritual natures, can bring results in the collective good of the community. The asteroid Pallas Athene is conjunct the Sun on this day, therefore the warrior-like nature of women, using their brains and intuition, can come to the fore during this quarter.

Mercury has its final retrograde period beginning on the December 10 at 5 Capricorn and returns to direct motion on the 29th at 19 Sagittarius. Therefore, the Solstice chart will hold the retrograde position.

Communications may be glitchy with contracts and agreements harder to work out. Fortunately, thatĘźs a short 19 days so we can celebrate that fact in our day-to-day lives. The topics to ponder during this time are outlined by these phrases: â&#x20AC;&#x153;Ten logs lie under an archway leading to darker woodsâ&#x20AC;? from RudhyarĘźs Sabian Symbol and the last phrase for the degree â&#x20AC;&#x201C; â&#x20AC;&#x153;â&#x20AC;Śknowing how to handle yourself impeccably,â&#x20AC;? from Ellias LonsdaleĘźs revisions of the Symbols.

The Winter Solstice is the moment the Sun enters Capricorn on December 21 at 1:39 p.m. HST. You can contact astrologer Eliza Bassett at 808.214.6587, e-mail her at astrobulletin@yahoo.com or visit her blog at eyesofheaven.word press.com.

Discovering A Quiet Presence

By Sheridan K Hailley When I came down with chronic fatigue syndrome in 1990, I felt my life force hanging by only a thread.

Beyond the excruciating physical symptoms, the experience took me on a profound inner journey. Unable to enjoy the usual activities of daily living, like work, social events or even reading, I was freed from distractions of the “external” world. My attention was guided irrevocably inward.

Initially, I was overwhelmed by the pain in my body. However, as I stayed with it, a quiet presence emerged there that seemed to live unaffected by the pain. At times, raging sensations would consume all of my attention and I would lose awareness of this quiet presence. I would fall into feelings of isolation and hopelessness. Even so, the soft voice of this presence stirred something in me. It inspired a passionate curiosity to explore deeply within.

I began the work of bringing my life force back into my body. Through meditation, yoga and energy healing, I learned to attend to the sensations in my body more intimately. I noticed that as I relaxed more around my pain, that soft inner voice became more available for me. I then felt supported and my relationship to pain changed. My body healed.

Through careful attention and artfully allowing the movement of energy, we can change how we feel. Honing sensing skills throughout the physical body offers a gateway to a deepening connection with the unlimited, nonphysical realms of presence.

It is in moving through my physical challenges that I have come to know my nonphysical, essential being intimately. I am passionate about discovering the gifts in the bodyʼs expressions.

Sheridan K Hailley, MA. CPT has provided counseling and therapy for over 20 years. She sensitively guides you through your own pain challenges. She provides energy healing that is nourishing and powerful.

Detoxing The Ayurveda Way

By Jackie and Dave Reed For those who donʼt already know, Ayurveda is an ancient healing system from India and Pancha Karma is its world-famous detoxification program. Pancha Karma is an extremely powerful process for cleansing and balancing our bodies, minds, spirits and emotions. This program can last anywhere from a few days to a few weeks.

Who should be doing Pancha Karma? A good candidate is anyone who is rundown and sluggish, has parasites, is overweight, or has an existing chronic condition. Basically everyone should consider Pancha Karma as our world is full of pollutants and toxins.

They are in our water, food, air, pets, and even our emotions. These can get trapped in our bodies and should be released periodically.

There are three phases in Pancha Karma: the first phase (Purva Karma) is preparation of the body for the elimination of toxins (ama).

During this stage, toxins are released from the organs and tissues. This is done by following a mono diet (usually kitchari).

Different herbs specific for the patientʼs constitution (dosha) and imbalances (vikruti) are taken, as well as medicated ghee. Blissful therapies are administered during this phase. They include Ayurvedic style massage, herbal steam, nasal oil application, and shirodhara (warm herbal oil poured on the forehead). These therapies are designed to dislodge the toxins.

During the second phase, the toxins are flushed out of the system. The third phase is the rejuvenation (Rasayana) period that allows the patient to rebuild, rejuvenate and get back into his or her new and improved healthy life. For more information on Pancha Karma, check out mauiherbs.net.

Jackie and Dave Reed own and operate Maui Herbs, an Ayurvedic Healing Center, located at 115 E. Lipoa St. #107 & 207 in Kihei, 808.8799920. They are both clinical Ayurveda specialists. Jackie specializes in pulse analysis and Dave is a doctor of chiropractic. They provide a wide variety of services including consultations and Pancha Karma.

It Takes a Village to Raise the Future

There is a growing movement that recognizes how small sustainable communities can make a big difference for the health of the environment and the quality of life for everyone. Even in big cities there are co-operatives forming to share resources and reap the rewards. Maui is the perfect place for new models of community to grow and flourish.

How can you get started?

Consider making a list of people you know who share your values and have specific skills and resources.

Go online and look at types of shared living to get ideas for what you want. Start a list of your needs and resources.

The right property for the right community.

For the last 25 years I’ve been helping people locate and buy ideally suited sustainable Maui properties and know what it takes to form a functioning co-operative. If you want help from a realtor with a lot of experience in this realm, give me a call.

The Gifts Are Within

By Jill Okura Ancient truths reveal our true identities: within each of us is that divine spark of God in the form of a human being, here to live in the light of all-love and all-knowingness. Our hearts are made of pure love, while our souls are created and filled with divine light.

The more we are able to access the love and the light, the more we are able to evolve our souls and live lives of heaven on earth, each in our own gifted and creative ways.

Love has the capability to heal all. It purifies and can lift us to levels of absolute truth, joy, and peace. Itʼs an unexplainable mysterious energy, yet weʼve all felt it.

The Divine Light of Grace of the Holy Spirit is perhaps even harder to know from words alone. According to ancient truths, everything is made of light. The light contains absolute truth, all-knowingness, and healing powers.

You can learn about this light by breathing deeply into your belly and accessing this breath of life, ideally when sitting in nature. As you continue to breathe deeply, picture a ball of bright, white light above your head. Now watch the ball of light float down into the top of your head, down through your neck, shoulders, torso and hips and out the bottom of your spine and into the earth. Let this be a continual flow of light. You can also direct the light to travel down your arms and out through your fingertips as well as down your legs and out through the bottoms of your feet. Breathe into the light. You are now running your light.

This ancient technique is a powerful healing tool. We are the love and the light, that divine spark of the Creator, of Mother Goddess, Father God, and Infinite Spirit. Blessings be. Only the love matters.

This Is A Holy Moment

By Jody Soltau Mountain and Ger Lyons The sacred Kabbalah speaks of our spiritual striving for ʻequivalence of formʼ with our Creator. Indian mythology tells of Bhrama hiding manʼs divinity ʻdeep in the center of his own being.ʼ Through the ages, spiritual seekers have sought this Divine Presence on many paths.

Many of us have felt this love awakening in transcendental moments – perhaps moved by the magnificence of nature, looking into the eyes of a loved one or in deep meditation. In those not-so-ideal moments, however, when someone cuts us off in traffic, when our relationships fail, or when we fall seriously ill or injured, it can be more difficult to feel our connections with Source.

The difficulty comes when we separate ourselves from any experience. Becoming one with the despair, anger and discomfort dissolves an inner struggle with ourselves – that we are somehow not where we ʻshouldʻ be. Bringing our acceptance fully to the present allows the moment to expand.

Without resistance, we can allow all dimensions of ourselves to awaken and find that our response to the difficulties might change. Spirit is not an attachment to ourselves which is sometimes activated and sometimes not. It lives through us, and is never absent.

If we let it, this highest part of ourselves can be expressed in every moment – through the laughter, the pain, the peace and the agony. Accepting the moment that life presents to us right now while opening up to an awareness of the Divine Presence is our work. Even in the midst of our greatest challenge, this too, is a holy moment.

Jill Okura offers channeled angel readings, energy healings and spiritual pop art. You can call her at 808.442.2608 or e-mail her at inthelightnow@gmail.com.

The Power To Heal Yourself

Review by Eric T. Richter The Power to Heal Yourself, by Gina Kim, D.C., is packed full of information and techniques for self-healing from a variety of conditions.

Ultimately, we all know it is always you who heals you. As the body comes back into balance, disease, pain and symptoms disappear.

Dr. Gina Kim, a local chiropractor with offices in Wailuku, has developed her own system of healing which she calls the Cellular Regeneration Techniqueâ&#x201E;˘. ItĘźs a brain/mind/body method that links brain chemistry and memories as causes for disease and incorporates muscle testing, intuition and energy healing to relieve symptoms.

Dr. Kim has found that negative experiences and emotions, once cleared, can greatly enhance the healing process from the cellular level up. With her process, she says she is â&#x20AC;&#x153;able to determine if imbalances are due to chemical, emotional, mental, physical or spiritual causes and which areas are affected.â&#x20AC;? In support of her system, she cites numerous scientific studies and experts, which make her technique credible even amongst scientific skeptics.

As the book states, â&#x20AC;&#x153;When we learn to communicate with our mind and body they become allies and we achieve a sense of wholeness and an awareness about ourselves that is necessary to make lasting changes.â&#x20AC;?

The book contains balancing exercises and suggests affirmations and sample prayers â&#x20AC;&#x201C; all geared towards creating a positively energized mindset and lifestyle. There are also practical suggestions for treating a variety of conditions, including cancer, stress, headaches, sore throats, arthritis, constipation, asthma and more. Tips on healthy eating, helpful supplements, and chemicals to avoid are included.

Dr. KimĘźs enthusiasm for healthy living and her readersĘź healing is contagious. As she concludes, â&#x20AC;&#x153; May you heal in every aspect of your life, fully embracing the infinite blessings of health, love, vitality, peace, miracles, inspiration, joy, contentment, success, wisdom, laughter, loads of fun and more!â&#x20AC;?

To purchase the book, call 808.871.6996. ItĘźs also available at Borders Bookstore in the Maui Marketplace and other locations. For more information, visit cellularregeneration.com.

The Gift Of Health

By Karen Frangos, N.D. Perhaps one of our most precious gifts is the gift of health. Yet, ironically, our health is often the least supported during the winter season of giving.

The â&#x20AC;&#x153;stressâ&#x20AC;? of the holidays can wear on the immune system, and for many, can also lead to significant weight gain.

Our reactions to stress are often over-exaggerated or difficult to control when stressors are too great.

This can lead to burn-out and the desire for artificial stimulants (caffeine and sugar) and comfort foods (usually more carbs) to get through the tough times. High blood sugar leads to increased insulin production and resultant fat storage in the body. Sugar is known to deplete immune function, and with sub-optimal vitamin D in winter, immune health is considerably compromised.

So what can you do?

1.Get 20 minutes of sun each day.

2. Drink green tea instead of coffee. Otherwise, drink half your body weight in ounces of water a day.

3. Eat whole fruit for dessert.

4. Eat yams and sweet potatoes instead of white potatoes.

5. Eat lots of greens.

6. Eat lean protein (about 4 ounces 2-3 times per day) 7. Get at least an hour of exercise every day.

For some, stress has taken a toll that requires more medical attention.

Fortunately, there are lab tests that can measure stress hormone levels and assist in selecting appropriate therapies. Vitamin D levels can also be measured to determine whether supplementation is indicated.

These simple measures are priceless, but extremely valuable. So, share this free gift of knowledge with your loved ones.

The Gift Of Flowing Life Force

By Shalandra Abbey Remembering and recognizing our greatest gifts can be a life-changing experience. What have been your greatest gifts â&#x20AC;&#x201C; the ones that were catalysts for the creating of who you are today? Try it â&#x20AC;&#x201C; sit back and enjoy the ride on your journey of discovery.

Recognizing and appreciating these gifts from the past helps us to continue to attract new gifts in the future. As a full-time Reiki master, I enjoy witnessing the various types of gifts that come to students and clients after connecting with the life force energy that sustains us. I have learned that flowing with the energy of each day helps us to be aware that each and every moment offers a new great gift.

As it assists them to bring greater and greater gifts into their lives, it is always amazing to me when I watch the students in my classes discover how Reiki energy goes beyond healing. Often it may start with several gifts received from healing the mental, emotional, spiritual and physical body. Then, as those energies become more connected, the gifts tend to expand and become more easily recognizable and appreciated.

Soon the time comes when students feel they are ready to share their healing gifts with other people, animals, plants and all of life. This sharing opens a whole new bag of luxurious gifts to experience.

No matter what our greatest gifts turn out to be, it is important to live in the moment, stay connected to our Source, and stay open to receive and enjoy the many gifts that pour into us each and every fabulous moment.

PauloĘźs Perspective

Dear Paulo, IĘźve been thinking about quitting my job, leaving my boyfriend, and running off to France or elsewhere. My French isnĘźt fluent, so I donĘźt know if I can get a job. I was thinking of maybe going to Fiji and studying French there. But IĘźm also signed up for a class in the fall I want to take, and our lease is up in a couple months, but we could go month-to-month then. Or my friendĘźs goddaughter might be interested in sharing an apartment, but if IĘźm leaving the country or even this city, should I really do that? And should I give up a secure job to go off without a plan?

- Suzanne Dear Suzanne, So many things you are willing to leave! I wonder whatĘźs troubling you? Life can be hard, but you have a job, a primary relationship, a place to live, some sense of community - and you want to chuck it all to move to a country where you donĘźt know anyone, do not speak the language, have no prospects? ItĘźs a romantic notion, but whatĘźs going on here?

Of course, your dream could be a wonderful adventure â&#x20AC;&#x201C; for a French major in her 20s who wants to bum around France for a while.

But thatĘźs not you.

The adventure of leaping into the unknown can be wonderful, but I sense that something more is going on here. Whatever is inside you that makes you want to split must come to light. Deal with it rather than flee in any direction its shadow may be pointing. You can do it and itĘźs a worthwhile adventure of another sort!

Make It A Gift Experience!

By Patti Oriot This topic really got me to thinking â&#x20AC;&#x201C; just what was the greatest gift I ever received? Better yet, what was the greatest gift I could ever want?

I thought of â&#x20AC;&#x153;thingsâ&#x20AC;? that I might like to have â&#x20AC;&#x201C; like a nice stand up paddle board or a day at the spa.

I thought about what would be the greatest gift I could bestow on a friend or loved one. Everything that I could come up with seemed already â&#x20AC;&#x153;done.â&#x20AC;? On top of that, how could I choose just one gift to focus on for just one person?

Harder than it seemed, this greatest gift theory really had me stumped.

I thought about the tangible and the intangible, the spiritual and the spectacular as well as the magical and the practical.

Then I got it: the greatest gift is the one that is shared. Let me expand.

If I did get that awesome paddle board, that would be a great gift. If the person who gave it to me also took the time to go paddle with me on a regular basis, that would kick it up to the greatest gift status. If I received a gift certificate to a healing retreat, it would be so much better if the giver also booked time for themselves at the same retreat so we could share in the experience.

If you are baking homemade goodies for gifts this holiday, why not schedule a time to bring them over when you can sit and visit and enjoy them with the recipient?

I think you get the picture. Instead of â&#x20AC;&#x153;deliveringâ&#x20AC;? your gifts and doing the shop and drop, take it to the next level. Make it a gift â&#x20AC;&#x153;experienceâ&#x20AC;? and it just might be the greatest gift that someone ever received!

Sleep, LifeĘźs Greatest Gift

By Michael Krugman Natural, restful sleep is one of lifeĘźs greatest gifts. It brings you energy, alertness, and full vitality by day and makes your nights an oasis of pleasure and peace. Fully rested, you are like a welltuned string that resonates with the joyful vibration of life.

Lose a few hoursĘź sleep, though, and see how that joyful string is muted.

Your mood sinks, your senses are dulled, fatigue reigns. Sleep deprivation is the ultimate stressor, impacting every system of your body.

What can you do to ensure healthy sleep? IĘźve developed a system of targeted sleep-supporting exercises for that specific purpose.

But hereĘźs something you can practice right away to start reducing the stress of life and cultivating deeper, more continuous sleep. ItĘźs called the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Main Squeeze.â&#x20AC;?

Sit or recline with your hands in your lap, palms down. Loosely hold one thumb with the opposite hand, as if you were holding the handlebar of a bicycle. Close your eyes and breathe naturally, without effort. Take a few minutes to feel your thumb, your hands, your arms and shoulders, and all the gentle movements your body makes as you breathe.

Then, as you exhale, very gently and gradually squeeze your thumb. Keep squeezing until the exhalation is complete. As you inhale, gradually relax your grip. Do that several times, then stop, rest a while, and feel the effect of what youĘźve done. Repeat as desired.

Practice like that for 10 to 15 minutes once, twice, or three times a day depending on the severity of your insomnia. Your life and your sleep will become more peaceful. YouĘźll look better, feel better, and enjoy life more.

Michael Krugman is the founder of the Sounder Sleep System. He has been a holistic sleep coach for over a decade. He is the author of The Insomnia Solution (Grand Central Books) and the â&#x20AC;&#x153;Rest Assuredâ&#x20AC;? audio self-help kit. Call 808.214.8881 or visit soundersleep.com. " ! $ ! " ! $ " "

The Gift Of Conscious Loving

By Maribeth Theisen In my work with couples, I often find they act as if their relationship skills are on autopilot â&#x20AC;&#x201C; words and actions seem to occur without conscious intent. Are they really thinking about what they wanted to convey and how others might hear it and what the desired outcome might be? I encourage couples to stay present (making statements or requests with conscious intent), and to be clear and compassionate in their personal communications.

I find many people put more energy into their spiritual practices and careers than their love lives. But can they be fully connected to Source while their relationships suffer as a result? Can they put vast amounts of energy and intention into work and spirituality and expect love relationships to grow by themselves? Of course not.

A powerful way to create harmony, love and joy is to commit to approaching the relationship as a spiritual teacher. Authors Gay and Kathlyn Hendricks ask readers to commit to this statement: â&#x20AC;&#x153;I accept relationship itself as my primary teacher about myself, other people, and the mysteries of the universe. I open myself to letting every relationship interaction, no matter how seemingly trivial, deepen my connection with my essence and the essence of others. I invite all healing powers in myself and the universe to remove any obstacles to my relationships as a source of joyful fulfillment to me in all my depths.â&#x20AC;?

As we commit to conscious loving, we clean up our emotional lives, remove baggage, and become powerfully loving. When we use tools like accepting others just as they are, reflective listening, making kind requests, taking full responsibility for meeting our own needs and goals, telling the truth and sharing our deepest feelings, we validate each other while staying in the fullness of our own power.

Let Go Of Negative Junk!

By Gina Kim, D.C. With Cellular Regeneration Techniqueâ&#x201E;˘ (CRT), there is an easy way of releasing negative emotions or feelings. When you realize that you are in a state of mind you do not like, do your best to name all of your feelings in that moment. For example, you can say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;Right now, I feel angry, resentful, frustrated and unappreciated.â&#x20AC;? Then, you can say, â&#x20AC;&#x153;I donĘźt like feeling this way and IĘźm letting it go.â&#x20AC;? Visualize the unwanted energy going straight to God/Light/Creator. Then, pump and dump by flapping your wings like an eagle, a chicken or just move your arms. Doing this exercise releases the stored up physical and mental negativities.

According to research by Jill Bolte Taylor, Ph.D., a Harvard brain scientist, it takes 90 seconds for biochemicals to leave your body once you realize you do not like what you are feeling. She also wrote My Stroke of Insight. With pump and dump, itĘźs probably faster than 90 seconds. You can release a lot of layers this way.

For greater effect, pant three times, and then take a deep breath in and sigh on the exhale as you pump and dump. People tell me how much better and lighter they feel not hanging on to the negative junk. It can be this easy and the choice is up to you.

Even animals in nature pump and dump negative energy. In one of Eckhart TolleĘźs books, he wrote about observing ducks in the wild having a squawk of a fight. When they were finished, they swam in the opposite direction, stopped simultaneously and flapped their wings before going on. We donĘźt have to keep accumulating junk. We can release all of the negativity and enjoy our lives to the fullest.

As the founder of Cellular Regeneration Technique, Gina Kim,D.C. offers sessions and training. The next 14 hour class is Feb. 5-6, 2011 in Wailuku. Call Dr. Kim at 808.871.6996 or visit her website at cellularregeneration.com.

Get A Lift: Lemongrass

By Keesha Bowers We are truly blessed to have this powerfully healing and useful herb easily grown or bought on Maui. Lemongrass is a tropical grass native to India. In ancient Malaysia, warriors applied a balm of lemongrass to their skin with special prayers, believing this would prevent them from being cut by a sword! I donĘźt recommend this application, but do recommend using lemongrass with gratitude for our health.

Lemongrass tones and boosts our immune systems. It has antibacterial and antifungal properties and even helps lactating mothers by increasing the quantity and quality of breast milk, while also supporting the babyĘźs immune system. Chinese medicine uses lemongrass to fight infectious diseases, reduce fever and as a sedative for the central nervous system.

Modern research has found that lemongrass oil even fights cancer by inhibiting the growth of certain types of cancer cells.

Lemongrass also provides relief for the difficult emotional issues of our modern society, such as insecurity, loneliness or depression.

In aromatherapy, the scent of lemongrass oil soothes and calms the mind, while boosting confidence, self-esteem and hope. Just use two drops on a warm cloth and enjoy!

For healing massage oil, mix lemongrass with organic almond oil.

This oil is a muscle and tissue toner, and can even reduce cellulite by stimulating circulation and removing toxins and lymph fluid. Lemongrass oil reduces acne and also makes an excellent insect repellant. Here at Hale Akua Garden Farm, it is an essential part of our integrative pest management program.

Keesha Bowers is the office manager at Hale Akua Garden Farm and has a background in education, sustainability, business management and natural health. Organic lemongrass is currently available at the farm, which also supplies lemongrass to MamaĘźs Fish House for use in their gourmet menu. Call 808.572.9300 for more info about the farm, certified organic produce and farm tours. Visit their website: haleakuagardenfarm.com.

My Round In The Ring With Ratlungworm

By Grace Purusha Since my now infamous ĘťRound in the Ring with Ratlungworm Disease,Ęź the greatest gift of all for me is being alive. Knowing the pathway to restore health, if it escapes or is snatched away, is next up for valuable gifts.

Ratlungworm is a rat-born disease, where slugs carry larvae and worms lurking in rat poop onto the vegetables they crawl over. Once accidentally ingested, these find their way into your spinal fluid through your meninges and cause a very high level of inflammation in the central nervous system. ThereĘźs excruciating full body pain, burning, itching and nausea. It is a self-limiting disease of five weeks until all larvae die from starvation. There is no medicine that removes this from your body.

WhatĘźs the key lesson? Find a way to keep slugs out of your veggie garden. Soak and brush all vegetables with your choice of food-based hydrogen peroxide, grapefruit seed extract, or vegetable disinfectant.

To experience the fear and flutter of watching my life force diminish and temporarily disappear, was incomparably humbling. As I witnessed myself hit bottom, completely flattened, I promised myself that if I was ever to walk the beach again

without pain in my body, I would never again question the purpose of my life: to simply enjoy being alive.

During all stages of the illness, I watched

â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being Withâ&#x20AC;? The Greatest Gift

By Adrianna Grace Since being diagnosed with ovarian cancer in June, I have shifted my focus from promoting the Sacred Loving Arts for a time, as I delve into my own healing. IĘźve had some real time right here and now to reflect on and to appreciate the great gifts that my life and my body are.

Take away the certainty that your body will be here tomorrow, and itĘźs a whole new ball game.

For me, the greatest gift is to understand and connect to the Soul. As spiritual practices abound, it is for you to find one or two that give you the greatest feeling of connection, and to make those your foundation practice. This is important, for in our busy outer lives we can only give so much time to engage directly in our inner spiritual lives.

My offering to the community now is

what I call â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being With.â&#x20AC;? It is a group practice, dedicated to providing a time, place and focus where we can â&#x20AC;&#x153;be withâ&#x20AC;? our spiritual intent and our soul connection. While a group practice, it is designed to touch each person, each soul directly, and to provide food and nourishment towards our Soul Life Connection.

Adrianna Grace shares her healing journey on her weekly â&#x20AC;&#x153;AdriannaĘźs Chemo CafĂŠâ&#x20AC;? video blog at adriannagrace.com, and through â&#x20AC;&#x153;Being Withâ&#x20AC;? and other community offerings listed there.

She welcomes your contact, and is available via email at adriannagrace@gmail.com.

If you would like to be put on her e-mail list, or to be one of her Angel Team helpers, please get in touch. She is open to contributions and support of all kinds.

and learned. Although immersed in the progressive horrors, I noticed particular personality energetics, patterns, pitfalls, common tracks of fear and doubt, and attempts to circumvent the momentĘźs discomfort. Very insightful clues were revealed about me and my life, and about how I lived it.

I have always believed that â&#x20AC;&#x153;illness is a blessing,â&#x20AC;? as there is usually enough information contained in the difficulties to identify the habits that if corrected would bring forth what was lost in their absence. We not only regain what was lost, but also often produce longed-for improvements.

As I started to recover, the recognized lessons and opportunities for awakening were endless.

The softening and cracking of my psychic shells exposed my deeper self to me. One night, a voice spoke to me saying, â&#x20AC;&#x153;We have chosen to accelerate your movement forward. You may not enjoy the way weĘźve chosen, but itĘźs going to be quite effective. When complete, youĘźll understand and be grateful.â&#x20AC;?

Out of the wreckage of my fried nervous system emerged a heightened sensitivity and compassion toward each moment, person, choice, and feeling, with an inescapable desire to honor what would bring the most ease, because I had to. Honoring my new sensitive awareness, a new clarity of values emerged. The â&#x20AC;&#x153;resetâ&#x20AC;? button had been clicked, and the training of needing to pay such radical attention every moment was spilling over across the board of my life. Now, with the illness over, my practice is to remember and care as much as I did then.

Before the lessons get tough, we can attempt to determine our most important needs, and how to effectively adjust what must shift so that how we live is congruent with what we want. Illness and symptoms are often preceded by personality energetics that manifest physically. ItĘźs valuable to explore and uncover these lurking and yet-to-be recognized aspects.

Please contact me if youĘźre interested in my fully detailed presentation, â&#x20AC;&#x153;What I learned from RatLungWormâ&#x20AC;?.

Grace Purusha, is a master health coach, mentor, and author of The Five Essential Laws of Eating. She fully coaches you how to create and implement programs for long-term health, weight loss, and reduction of symptoms. Her program Better Health 2011 begins January 11.

Bridging Two Worlds

By Anne Rice I recently spent six weeks with my father in a hospice in Philadelphia. Early one morning, I was by his side as he passed peacefully in his sleep. The time of bonding, grieving and celebrating with my father and family left me with a precious gift - this gift was the profound experience of touching the world we come from and knowing this three-dimensional world to be the dream.

I have â&#x20AC;&#x153;mid-wifedâ&#x20AC;? many people from this world to the next. I have helped others to release their regrets, fears, and attachments so that they may transition with ease into graceful surrender, either by staying in this world or leaving. However, being present for my own fatherĘźs death took me to new heights and depths with this experience.

Sitting with him in his final days, my dad talked openly to â&#x20AC;&#x153;othersâ&#x20AC;? in the room. In one moment he was with us, the next his eyes shifted into an other-dimensional gaze and he talked outwardly to the other side of the room, addressing old, previously deceased friends. My father had always been a skeptic. So when he so apparently moved from one realm to the next, my siblings (with their own doubts) were deeply moved and shocked into questioning their own beliefs.

The whole house of cards began falling as my family circle shifted and quaked and, little by little, let go and sought renewal.

When the goodbyes felt complete and the reunion of souls became my fatherĘźs reality, his breathing slowed and our hearts broke. Grief washed through me for the beloved parent who held me as baby, taught me to tie my shoes and was the confidant of my later years. Preverbal feelings and images came to the surface and the full meaning of our lifetime together opened up as I held him and cared for him in the end.

The day he was preparing to leave us, I felt him everywhere around me. He was finding his expansive identity as a soul once again, feeling the freedom of releasing his diseased body. There was more of him accessible to me then ever before. Through the bond of our hearts, the other side was revealed and became crystal clear. What had once been temporary glimpses and feelings about where we return became a full picture, a complete experience.

This river of life ends as a return to wholeness. Limited perception and a small, conditioned identity return to a complete version of self, expanded in love and joy. Life is an opportunity to â&#x20AC;&#x153;know thyself,â&#x20AC;? remember who we are before death, making this world an extension of the other, or, what some may call â&#x20AC;&#x153;heaven on earth.â&#x20AC;?

In moments that I really miss my Dad, I long to pick up the phone and talk to him. And then I open my heart and feel him, all of him, and my heart sings.
