Gratitude- Heart-centered spiritual key By Rev. Charles Zinner, M.S.

icture yourself in a situation of complete and total relaxation. You feel a deep, inner serenity, and with it, an all encompassing, loving warmth that radiates throughout your being. It is a inner sense of total and complete love from the heart. It is a knowing that all is well, and you feel a deeper sense of thankfulness for all that is in your life. You experience a feeling of true gratitude, and a combination of feelings: total and unconditional joy, happiness, security, and never-ending bliss, as well as limitless appreciation and thankfulness for all things. Your heart swells with the love you feel...in gratitude for the Universe and all the blessings you have, are, and will be receiving. This is the spiritual experience of gratitude. It is a time of opening one’s heart to the unconditional and Divine Love within. It is an experience of being in appreciation and total alignment with All That Is, all that is in one’s life and experience. The conduit to this omnipresent and all powerful energy is the heart. The open heart, Unconditional Love, is the key. Bob Proctor, one of the teachers in the film, The Secret, is considered one of the living masters and teachers of the Law of Attraction. For over 40 years, Bob Proctor has focused his work and teachings on helping people use the power of their mind to achieve prosperity, rewarding relationships and spiritual awareness. He said, “Gratitude is an attitude that hooks us up to our source of supply. And the more grateful you are, the closer you become to your maker, to the architect of the universe, to the spiritual core of your being. “ We all have the ability to create. It is the Divine power within each of us. All thoughts and emotions have an energy that exudes from us. While it is said by those who are body language experts that 95 percent of communication is physical body signals, I submit that we act in accordance with our thoughts and emotions. We subconsciously signal to others what and how we view them or issues surrounding us. The other 5 percent is said to be energetic, so in essence we emit our thoughts through subconscious energy- and in turn, attract that which is like our thoughts. To illustrate this attraction exists, see what happens when you are in sync with others in a group – they will know it and accept you. On the other hand, the saying “ never go looking for trouble because you will find it” is so true because a chip on the shoulder engenders non-acceptance by others. In short, people know your views even if you think you are not displaying them. Personal relationships are the same because couples come together for their similarities- we all like being with someone who shares similar views, thoughts and interests. The adage that “like attracts like” is the Law of Attraction. Most people view the term gratitude as mere appreciation for an event or gift, a simple “Oh, that is nice, thank you.” Gratitude, as mentioned, is a totality of understanding that all things come from Source, and that as we think and feel, all things are available to us and it is all good. One deeply thanks and is appreciative for the Universe’s gifts, knowing that we co-create those events, situations and events and that it is from a pure and loving heart that one manifests. Gratitude’s essence is All That Is. While it may not seem possible to be in a total loving space in every situation, merely thinking or saying a blessing of gratitude is important and a powerful start to achieving this state. All experiences provide a spiritual lesson - and we may not understand the lesson in the moment. Upon reflection and honest inner work (such as taking 100 percent responsibility for all things in our life) we comprehend and “get it”. Thus, being in gratitude for the daily divine lessons is a true spiritual practice. Proctor states, “It is a powerful process of shifting energy and bringing more into your life. Be grateful for what you have and you will attract more good things.” Trust the process. In little more than a few years, he became a millionaire by actively applying this principle, along with affirmations and meditation. Every affirmation he uses, includes: “ I am so

6 november 2015 • Tampa Bay Wellness

happy and grateful that I now have... .” Thus he includes the positive emotion (happy), gratitude (grateful) along with the thought as already created (now). In other words, when one is in gratitude, one is in the energy of love. This aligns us with the Universe, which is perfection and love. The more one is in gratitude, the more one is creating loving and beautiful happenstances. This is where spiritual work begins. To strengthen the energy, consistency and discipline are required along with intention and daily action. When a thought or emotion is repeated with purity and intention, it increases the strength and ability to attract – thus, the thoughts and feeling of positivity and unconditional love enable one to be a more powerful spiritual creator. Enjoy your gratitude- it is a powerfully positive state of mind and consciousness lifter!

He has developed and taught courses in Tarot, numerology, consciousness studies and the teachings of the modern ascended masters. Charles was tenured faculty member of the University Of Florida.

TRANSFORMATION

in GRATITUDE By Marcella Zinner

ratitude is a magical method of achieving a complete transformation in one’s life and circumstances! The very act and thought of giving thanks in gratitude changes us and all that is around us! Gratitude is an energy thought process within us that is creative and changing. This gratitude energy generates an astonishing power of feelings within us. These feelings facilitate change because they are able to shift ones’ thoughts into a motivating force It is by thoughts and feelings that we live our lives. The power of our thoughts are influenced and magnified by the positive thoughts and emotions that we attach to those thoughts. Emotions are like a “supercharger” to our thoughts because, from emotion, we invoke our passions! Our passions enable us to accomplish and live the lives we wish because passion will attract the same type of energy. Emotions move us to act, accomplish, and live our lives to the fullest! Positive emotions lead us to positive activity and to results that we deeply desire and work to achieve! When we live in joy, happiness and love as evoked by our passionate emotion of gratitude, we can move into a universal feeling that emanates outward from ourselves. This attracts likeminded people into our lives and this enhances our quality of life. The saying about like attracting like is so true that the adage of “birds of a feather, flock together” exists and can be readily seen if one observes life around oneself. Take a look at how people congregate and move together- E-harmony and other online dating services use the same approach which is that like attracts. We can see in the animal kingdom that species congregate –such as flocks of birds, schools of fish and herds of herbivores such as deer, elk, etc. Gratitude, in the very instant of its realization, can simply transform one’s life. The happiest people we have known are those that have given simple gratitude for their life’s circumstances! It is a positive way of approaching life. It enhances our lives because it is a spiritual way of living and growing in the realization that positive energy manifested through thought and emotion, is the universes’s way of teaching us the magical secret of life which is to be happy!

The EFFECT of MIND over MATTER By Marguerite dar Boggia

r. Masaru Emoto, in his book “The Hidden Messages in Water” astonished the world with his scientific experiments using frozen water crystals. He found that all water does not form beautiful crystals. He tested tap water from around the world and found that tap water does not form water crystals. Polluted water does not form water crystals either, but forms unpleasant, deformed frozen structures. Water from clean streams and from holy places around the world form beautiful crystals when frozen. The pictures below show the difference between beautiful crystals that receive good thoughts and those that receive bad thoughts. How can science explain this? The teachings of the Ageless Wisdom, as was known by Pythagoras and Plato say that at the heart of every atom is a Life, an entity, a living fire1. The Ancient Greeks called this spark of living fire a ‘Monad’2, a god. It is an eternal, homogeneous consciousness center, while an atom is infinitely divisible. The goal of an atom is to become a human being3. It has to develop on the evolutionary arc through all the kingdoms: mineral, vegetable, animal, human, superhuman (or soul), the deva (or angel) kingdom, and that of deity. Those who are clairvoyant see some of the elemental lives of nature: the fairies of plant life; the elves who build and paint the flowers, the radiant little beings who inhabit the woods and the fields; the elementals who work with fruits, vegetables and with all that leads to the covering of the earth’s surface with verdure; the brownies, and those that inhabit the dark spaces of the earth; the sylphs, the water fairies4 etc. We are told that every life will eventually pass through the human kingdom5. When I studied with the Rosicrucian order, AMORC, a very, very long time ago, with every monograph there was an experiment to be performed. One experiment was to place the hands around a glass of water (with the hands not touching the glass) and with the eyes and mind to cause a match stick to turn in a certain direction. After drinking the water, I was so charged with energy that there was no need to sleep. If I had been wise, I would have saved the water to drink in the morning. Mind affects not only the little lives of the water, but those that make up the cells and organs of our body. Metal spoon bending with the mind is now the rage in the New Age circles. Six year old Dorothy Hagen does it on You-Tube. Yes! Concentrated 14 november 2015 • Tampa Bay Wellness

thought is powerful; but imagine what can be done through the soul. There are many cases of healing and even instant healing. We have within us electrical, magnetic and spiritual forces that can protect us when needed. My first husband (Henry) was walking along a street with a friend. Dogs were barking behind a very high wall. The friend threw a stone over the wall to quiet the dogs. In the next few minutes two huge dogs came charging at them, ready to attack. Henry, being extremely courageous, stood ready for the attack with his arms extended to grab the tongues of the dogs, when suddenly the dogs cried and ran away. The friend said that electricity came out of Henry’s eyes. Then beyond the soul, there is the Spirit, the real self or the Monad. Every religion mentions a trinity as relating to Deity6 i.e. the Christian religion: Father, Son, Holy Spirit, the Jewish religion: Kether, Binah Chochmah, the Hindu religion: Brahma, Vishnu, Shiva, etc. St. Paul referred to the threefold being of man as Spirit, Soul, Body. It is said that we are made in the image of God. Behind the dense physical forms, whether they are a universe, a planet, or a human being, is what is called the etheric body. Little lives called devas form this etheric body.7 The vital life force known as Prana (called by the Chinese “Qi” prounounced ‘chi’), vitalizes this etheric double, which then vitalizes the dense physical body of a solar system, planet or a human being. Most of humanity is focused in their emotional or astral body, which most powerfully affects this etheric body8. It is for this reason that we are told to love our enemy. Love is the energy that heals. It must prevail on earth and in our solar system. Hatred forms an eventual tumor or some problem in our body and also in the body of humanity. Then surgery may be required not only for the individual but for humanity, such as a devastating war to balance the forces of nature. There are devas that transmit the Prana.

They energize the myriads of minute lives which build the etheric bodies of all that is seen and tangible. They produce the warmth of the sun and of all bodies. They are the cause of solar, planetary and human radiation and they nourish and preserve all forms.8 We are told that progress in our spiritual development is through mediation and service9. Service can be through partaking in a transmission meditation group, where someone is psychically present to tweak our force centers, known as chakras, so that the spiritual energy is taken in safely. Thousands of free transmission meditation groups have been formed all around the world, where aspirants on the Path of Light seek to aid humanity and the Head of the Spiritual Hierarchy, known as the Christ to Christians, as the Messiah to the Jews, as the Imam Madhi to the Moslems, as Krishna to the Hindus, and as Maitreya Buddha to the Buddhists, who know the personal name of this Lord. He is here NOW10. The immediate goal for humanity is to be aware of its thoughts and emotions and to transmute what needs to be changed. The cosmic Law says: “ENERGY FOLLOWS THOUGHT”. When we each, raise our consciousness and transform our lower nature, the whole of society benefits. ∆∆∆ Marguerite dar Boggia presently serves as Membership Secretary for ISAR, the International Society for Astrological Research. She was past Secretary and Director of ISAR and Publisher of Kosmos, the ISAR journal. She was a co-founder of UAC and its past Secretary and Director.

Testing Your Gratitude By Terri Cabral

e often feel a lack of gratitude from other people without realizing, that we do not show them any gratitude ourselves. As we go about our busy lives many are in the state of doing and not appreciating. We sometimes see more of what is wrong than what is right. A lack of gratitude makes us lose our joy along the way. Gratitude is a very powerful energy. The more that we are grateful, the more gratitude we will get back. It is the quickest way to connect to your soul, you become one with universal wisdom because you feel connected with all that is. You will feel like an energetic being with infinite possibilities. When you are in a gratitude field, your ego, will move out of the way. We have problems with people, because, there is a lack of gratitude and it influences our lives in a negative way. Here’s a way to test your gratitude for the people around you or your life in general. On a scale of 1-10 simply ask yourself, to what level am I really appreciating this person or my life? Give it a number, ten being the highest. Be honest and really listen to that number. Sometimes we need to be more aware. Practice gratitude throughout the day: Put 5 pennies or pebbles in your pocket, as you appreciate people, things, situations throughout the day, say thank you for them and move the pennies or whatever else to the other pocket. You will find it so joyful you’ll want to add more. If you like to write you might want to start a gratitude journal and start the day by writing down 5 things that you truly are grateful for, than pay attention, watch the flow in your life and share the miracles all around you. The small things as well as the big.

Gratitude for By Maggie Batt

ow can you graciously receive more prosperity, compliments, gifts, joy, friendships and fertility? The answer is simple—by having gratitude for the things you do have. This may seem like a difficult concept for those of you that are struggling and have lost so much. Let me give you an example. When I have an abundant goal in mind (peace, joy, healing, or car repair) I PRAY. Yep, I pray to my God/Goddess and my angels…my Source. I’m sending a message out to the Universe. Our Spirit Helpers want to assist us, but they do not impose on our free will, so we have to ask for assistance. By communicating more and more, I now have a direct phone line. My thoughts manifest so quickly. I have to be very careful of the negative ones that creep in. Things like, “I never have enough time to do what I love.” OR “I can’t afford that.” When I do catch myself in the negative, I state “CANCEL.” Cancel my order that I just accidentally placed with the Universe. I then think in an upward spiral. “I’m provided for.” “I am safe.” “I am always supported by the Universe.” When the abundance flows in and I am open to receiving, I then THANK my 16 november 2015 • Tampa Bay Wellness

Source and Spirit Helpers. It is important to acknowledge what comes in no matter how small….no matter how small! This has caused me to appreciate the pennies I find on the ground. I now see them as gifts from Source. I place them in a bowl on my altar with white candles for purity and green candles for abundance and to represent my love of Mother Earth. My little bowl is now overflowing and it is time to switch to a larger one. I count my blessings when I feel desperate and thank Source for my family our health and a roof over our heads. We are so lucky. You cannot receive abundance when you are coming from a place of desperation. This energy blocks everything and makes you feel hopeless. If you feel this energy, ask your Source to heal the very core of this energy from the root. Forgive anyone you have ever blamed for causing you to feel desperate, including yourself. Ask for your worry to be released so you may feel peaceful. Having envy or jealousy towards a person or group can be the very thing that keeps what you want away. Rather than being envious of what others have, acknowledge their abundance and be happy for what they have achieved. Know that if they can do it, you can too! There is enough out there for everyone.

Another energy that can block abundance is the energy of hoarding, which may appear to others as stinginess. You fear losing what you have. This is simply a matter of not being able to trust that there is enough for everyone. It is important when setting abundance goals that you don’t set goals that are too long-term. If you reach too far ahead and your energy vibration is not aligned with that goal, you may be setting yourself up for disappointment. Accept little improvements, be grateful for them and the energy of gratitude will attract more and more good things to you. Awareness is everything. Once you are aware of your resistance and your blocks to abundance, you begin your healing journey. Start a gratitude journal. Count your blessings daily. Visualize your goals and they will come quickly.

Calling All Dream Catchers Finding the Gold in Your Dreams By Laara C Oakes - www.freewealthinitiative.com

reams are mysterious and magical, truthful and telling. They give you a front row seat to look through a window that opens into the world of your subconscious mind. Your dreams provide specific information from your higher awareness to guide you through life; a world of truth where your hidden thoughts, secret feelings, and heartfelt desires come alive in actions, sounds, and symbols. If you wonder what your dreams are telling you and how you can learn to interpret and benefit from those crazy dream18 november 2015 • Tampa Bay Wellness

scapes that represent your finances, relationships, health and more, then learning how to interpret your dreams is essential. Through the years, many famous people have come forward and admitted that they received their inspiration through dreams. Here are just a few. Mary Shelley received the idea for her novel Frankenstein when she dreamed about a scientist who created life and was horrified by his creation. Paul McCartney states in his biography that he was staying in a room at the Wimpole Street home of his then girlfriend and her family when he had a dream about a

particular melody. When he woke up, he played the tune on a piano to ensure he’d remember the composition. He was so concerned that he had subconsciously plagiarized someone’s work that for about a month he said that he “went ’round to people in the music business and asked them whether they had ever heard it before.” No one had, so he began writing the lyrics. Credited as Lennon-McCartney, the original working title “Scrambled eggs” was used and the opening verse “Scrambled eggs, oh my darling how I love your legs,” eventually morphed into the song “Yesterday, all my troubles seemed so far away Contact us 813-501-4894 •

. . .” Shakespeare used dreams extensively in his plays: Hamlet, The Tempest, Romeo and Juliet – all with characters either talking about dreams or receiving premonitions in dreams, and sometimes having a dream within a dream like Bottom’s Dream in A Midsummer Night’s Dream. Stephen King said of his science fiction/alien invasion novel Dreamcatcher, written while he was recuperating from his near fatal car accident, that he “dreamed a lot about that cabin and those guys in it.” Stephenie Meyer, author of the Twilight / New Moon / Eclipse / Breaking Dawn saga states the idea came to her in a dream showing two people standing in a field; a human girl, and a vampire who was in love with her, but thirsted for her blood. Based on this brief dream, Meyer wrote the draft of chapter 13 of what would become the first book, Twilight. Eight publishers competed for the rights to publish Meyer’s novel. She signed a $750,000 three-book deal. Edgar Allan Poe (poet), Salvador Dali (surrealism painter), and Abraham Lin-

coln (US President) all recognized their dreams held powerful information, both good and bad. Here are a few tips on how you can get started on your path to benefiting from your dreams. • Consciously decide to make the effort to remember your dreams. Your conscious thoughts filter to your subconscious and build bridges between your states of awareness. • Avoid telling yourself you won’t, or don’t remember your dream. Memory (and your subconscious mind) is very susceptible to autosuggestion. • Keep it simple. Focus on one request at a time per sleep period. You don’t have to wait for bedtime to ask. If you take a nap in the afternoon, you can ask a question and receive your guidance. Both Thomas Edison and Nikola Tesla claimed to take “power-naps” during the day and credited this method for helping them receive inspiration for their inventions. • Remember, no eaves dropping into

Communicating With Your Animals Is A Gift By Leslie Poms

nimals Communication allows each of us to celebrate the wonderful gift of sharing our lives with animals every day so that each member of the relationship is honored and sees their lives intertwine in harmony and feels joy. Yes animals do communicate with more than animal sounds. People assume these sounds are their only way of talking to you when they want or need something. They are vocal when they play or want your attention or may be hurt. Humans have long dialogues with their animal companions. When the human is finally done talking out loud, if the animal looks at them, they think the animal is agreeing with them. Animals do respond to repetition training that teaches them activities or even tricks. These are the usual and most common ways people communicate with animals because this is how people communicate with each other. There is a deeper way to communicate using telepathy. Telepathy is defined in Webster’s dictionary as “communication between individuals by mental processes rather than ordinary sensory means.” Often babies and expectant mothers communicate telepathically before birth and after birth before the baby is taught human language. This is the special bond between them. Some fathers also use this unspoken language to express love and create that special bond.

Rev. Janet M. Reynolds Intuitive Counselor Certified Spirit Medium www.bluefeather.net janet@bluefeather.net 813-814-1601 20 november 2015 • Tampa Bay Wellness

Telepathy is the way animals communicate to other animals and to people who they live with. Some children understand this language and have special communication with the family cat or dog. When they share these natural conversations to grown ups who tell them they are imagining it, often they just stop using their natural telepathy and turn it off. Some children never stop, and just stop telling grown ups about it, but not many. An animal communicator may have been a child that never turned it off and uses telepathy with animals to help clients and animals better understand each other. Many animal communicators train to silence the outer mind to use their inner voice to work with clients and their animals. Like any other profession, some animal communicators become more proficient and more advanced and obtain better results than others. A good animal communicator can bridge the gap between you and your animal and help make lasting changes. When you adopt an animal, you don’t usually know their history or understand the emotional baggage they bring with them into your home. When you do understand what it is, you can help them to transform into a happy member of your family. Knowing what they need from you and what you need from them eases the transition and creates harmony in your home. Too often misunderstood and mistreated animals end up in shelters. When the mystery of “their story” is revealed, the animal’s behavior is more understandable and you can work with them. Animal communication can help the animal adjust to their new life and overcome pain and fear from past experiences. This leads to a better transition and a lasting bond for everyone involved. There are countless situations where animal communication can affect, correct or change a situation or even save a life. Since I began my practice over fifteen years ago, I have worked with hundreds of clients all over America and Canada. I have worked with a wide range of species including cats and dogs, horses, various reptiles, birds, monkeys and great apes and more. It has been my privilege to assist, teach and learn so much with so many. Each session is different and special.

Developing an Attitude of Gratitude Can Help You Live a Longer, Happier Life

By Dr. Mercola

esides sharing time with family and friends over food, the primary ingredient of the American Thanksgiving holiday is gratitude. While it’s certainly good to have an annual holiday to remind us to express gratitude, there’s much to be said for the benefits of cultivating the spirit of thankfulness year-round. People who are thankful for what they have are better able to cope with stress, have more positive emotions, and are better able to reach their goals. Scientists have even noted that gratitude is associated with improved health. As noted in a previous article on this topic published in the Harvard Mental Health Letter,1 “expressing thanks may be one of the simplest ways to feel better:” “The word gratitude is derived from the Latin word gratia, which means grace, graciousness, or gratefulness (depending on the context). In some ways gratitude encompasses all of these meanings. Gratitude is a thankful appreciation for what an individual receives, whether tangible or intangible. With gratitude, people acknowledge the goodness in their lives. In the process, people usually recognize that the source of that goodness lies at least partially outside themselves. As a result, gratitude also helps people connect to something larger than themselves as individuals — whether to other people, nature, or a higher power. ...People feel and express gratitude in multiple ways. They can apply it to the past (retrieving positive memories and being thankful for elements of childhood or past blessings), the present (not taking good fortune for granted as it comes), and the future (maintaining a hopeful and optimistic attitude). Regardless of the inherent or current level of someone’s gratitude, it’s a quality that individuals can successfully cultivate further.” Gratitude—It Does a Body Good Dr. P. Murali Doraiswamy, head of biologic psychology at Duke University Medical Center once stated that: “If [thankfulness] were a drug, it would be the world’s best-selling product with a health maintenance indication for every major organ system.” One way to harness the positive power of gratitude is to keep a gratitude journal or list, where you actively write down exactly what you’re grateful for each day. In one study, 3, 4 people who kept a gratitude journal reported exercising more, and they had fewer visits to • To Advertise Call 813-501-4894

the doctor compared to those who focused on sources of aggravation. As noted in a previous ABC News article,5 studies have shown that gratitude can produce a number of measurable effects on a number of systems in your body, including: Mood neurotransmitters (serotonin and norepinephrine) Inflammatory and immune systems (cytokines) Reproductive hormones (testosterone) Stress hormones (cortisol) Social bonding hormones (oxytocin) Blood pressure and cardiac and EEG rhythms Cognitive and pleasure related neurotransmitters (dopamine) Blood sugar Ways to Cultivate Gratitude Cultivating a sense of gratitude will help you refocus your attention toward what’s good and right in your life, rather than dwelling on the negatives and all the things you may feel are lacking. And, like a muscle, this mental state can be strengthened with practice. Besides keeping a daily gratitude journal, other ways to cultivate a sense of gratitude include: • Write thank you notes: Whether in response to a gift or kind act, or simply as a show of gratitude for someone being in your life, getting into the habit of writing thank-you letters can help you express gratitude in addition to simply feeling it inside. • Count your blessings: Once a week, reflect on events for which you are grateful, and write them down. As you do, feel the sensations of happiness and thankfulness you felt at the time it happened, going over it again in your mind. • Pray: Expressing thanks during your prayers is another way to cultivate gratitude. • Mindfulness meditation: Practicing “mindfulness” means that you’re actively paying attention to the moment you’re in right now. A mantra is sometimes used to help maintain focus, but you can also focus on something that you’re grateful for, such as a pleasant smell, a cool breeze, or a lovely memory. Expanding the Science and Practice of Gratitude Three years ago, the Greater Good Science Center at the University of California,6 in collaboration with the University of California, launched a project called “Cultivating Gratitude in a Consumerist Society.” This $5.6

million project aims to: • Expand the scientific database of gratitude, particularly in the key areas of human health, personal and relational well-being, and developmental science; • Promote evidence-based practices of gratitude in medical, educational, and organizational settings and in schools, workplaces, homes and communities, and in so doing… • Engage the public in a larger cultural conversation about the role of gratitude in civil society. In 2012, 14 winning research projects were announced, with topics covering everything from the neuroscience of gratitude, to the role of gratitude for the prevention of bullying. The organization has a number of resources you can peruse at your leisure, including The Science of Happiness blog and newsletter,7 and a Digital Gratitude Journal,8 where you can record and share the things you’re grateful for. Scientists are also permitted to use the data to explore “causes, effects, and meaning of gratitude.” Cultivating an Attitude of Gratitude as Part of a Healthy Lifestyle Starting each day by thinking of all the things you have to be thankful for is one way to put your mind on the right track. Also, remember that your future depends largely on the thoughts you think today. So each moment of every day is an opportunity to turn your thinking around, thereby helping or hindering your ability to think and feel more positively in the very next moment. Most experts agree that there are no shortcuts to happiness. Even generally happy people do not experience joy 24 hours a day. But a happy person can have a bad day and still find pleasure in the small things in life. Be thankful for what you have. When life gives you a 100 reasons to cry, remember the 1,000 reasons you have to smile. Face your past without regret; prepare for the future without fear; focus on what’s good right now, in the present moment, and practice gratitude. Remember to say “thank you”—to yourself, the Universe, and others. It’s wonderful to see a person smile, and even more wonderful knowing that you are the reason behind it! And with that, I wish you all a Happy and Healthy Thanksgiving!

Natural Treatment of Psychological Disorders: A series by Dr. Chris Jackson, PhD, DOM (FL)

n this fifth and final article in our series of articles on natural treatment of psychological disorders we discuss the underlying mechanisms of developmental disorders, which include autism spectrum disorders (ASD), dyslexia, memory disorders, and others. The information contained in this article is backed by research which is available upon request. If you or a family member suffers from a developmental disorder, the issues within this article may begin to unfold the underlying causes, our primary focus at A Path to Wellness. This article has been filtered for some complex terminology, but unavoidably gets a little deep at times, so please be patient and keep google handy! The specific mechanisms by which developmental disorders evolve pre- and post-natally range from high-level metabolic processes to low-level cellular processes. These processes may affect cerebellar, vestibular, auditory, or optical processing. Several studies have pursued the underlying causes of disorders of cerebellar function and related sensory learning deficits. Studies explore the effects of hypo- and hyperthyroidism, endocrine disruptor effects on brain development, and the similarity of endocrine disruptor effects to the effects of thyroid hormone. Thyroid hormone, particularly triiodothyronine (T3), may be under-appreciated in the medical community for its role in brain development. Generally the realm of endocrinologists rather than neurologists or developmental specialists, thyroid hormone actually appears to be involved in many roles beyond standard metabolic functions. Over 180 studies have pointed to deficiency of thyroid hormone pre- or post-natally as leading to dysfunctions, cellular changes, and molecular variations via regulation of gene transcription. These actions are accomplished via binding of thyroid hormone, particularly T3, with thyroid hormone receptors that subsequently bind with thyroid hormone response element DNA sequences. Thyroid hormone may also induce neurotrophin gene expression, thereby indirectly activating genes. Thus, there are many aspects to the involvement of thyroid hormone on brain development, including several influences on the cerebellum. Abnormal cerebellar development commonly may be induced by perinatal hypothyroidism (low thyroid function during pregnancy). These abnormalities may be avoided or reversed to some extent if thyroid hormone is replaced in offspring quickly enough 22 november 2015 â&#x20AC;˘ Tampa Bay Wellness

after birth. One attempt to understand the molecular mechanisms involved in regulation of the development of the cerebellum used pregnant rats treated with propylthiouracil (PTU) to reduce thyroid function. A significant functional decrease (expressed in protein levels) was observed at day 10, and full function was restored with treatment using thyroid hormone. Since iodine is a major component of thyroid hormone, it is reasonable to consider the role of iodine deficiency in thyroid dysfunction. This consideration then leads to the important relationship between thyroid dysfunction and developmental issues or the relationship between iodine deficiency and brain damage. It is important to note that developmental issues, such as memory and learning disorders, may extend beyond clinical hypothyroidism to subclinical hypothyroidism, measured by the same parameters but at low normal functional levels rather than clinically low levels. Additionally, thyroid dysfunction and endocrine disruptors Contact us 813-501-4894 â&#x20AC;˘

may affect production of the important sex hormones progesterone and estrogen. Abnormal development of the cerebellum may result from inappropriate sex hormone levels due to thyroid dysfunction. Rapid action of these hormones may be induced by receptor activity at cell membranes, possibly modulating the activity of neurotransmitters. In fact, mutations of receptors may occur due to the actions of prescription drugs or environmental toxins, including endocrine disruptors, as well as the actions of hypothalamic hormones thyrotropin-releasing hormone (TRH) and corticotropin-releasing hormone (CRH). CRH and TRH are precursors to hormones adrenocorticotropic hormone (ACTH) and TSH that are released from the anterior pituitary to stimulate thyroid and adrenal activity in a concerted effort to balance our metabolisms. This suggests that TSH and ACTH should be used to assess metabolic activity and the status of hormones pre- and post-natally. A rather interesting and widely-debated contributor that may affect thyroid-related developmental pathways is thimerosal (a preservative found in some vaccinations). A study that examined the effect of ethylmercury (Et-Hg) from thimerosal on the developing brain examined auditory, motor, thyroid, and cerebellar dysfunction. The study hypothesized that perinatal exposure to thimerosal impaired development of the cerebellum, and central nervous system (CNS) as a whole, via oxidation. Dysfunctions such as a delayed startle response and significant cerebellar oxidative stress were found. A significant reduction in an enzyme involved in the conversion of T4 to T3 was an apparent mechanism, likely related to T3 deficiency in the cerebellum. Thus, we have further confirmation of the effects of low T3 on the cerebellum, as well as the potential contribution of thimerosal (in vaccines) to developmental disorders.

UPLIFTING AND EXALTING ATTITUDE H

ere at the Sentient Temple one of the first things we teach in any of our classes from Medical Qigong to Multidimensional Mind, is that the most successful graduates are those who are the most grateful. It is to the Universe, and The Divine, that we owe EVERYTHING! Each day here, and many times a day we say, ”Divine Presence, Thank You for allowing us to perform miracles every day with your hand, with your touch, with your breath, with your name.” Gratitude is a feeling of appreciation and thankfulness for blessings or benefits we have received. As we cultivate a grateful attitude, we are more likely to be happy and spiritually strong. We should regularly express our gratitude to The Divine for the blessings He gives us, and to others for the kind acts they do for us. The Lord has promised, “He who receiveth all things with thankfulness shall be made glorious” (D&C 78:19). Gratitude

is an uplifting, exalting attitude. People are generally happier when they have gratitude in their hearts. We cannot be bitter, resentful or mean-spirited when we are grateful. We should be thankful for the wonderful blessings that are ours, and for the tremendous opportunities we have. We can be thankful to our parents, family, friends and teachers. We should express appreciation to everyone who has assisted us in any way. We should thank our Heavenly Host for His goodness to us by acknowledging His hand in all things, thanking Him for all that He gives us and serving others. We here at the Sentient Temple thank The Divine for new students, old students, new patients old patients, our continued growth and prosperity, and everything we have ever wanted has been manifested due to GRATITUDE. There is no religion in Heaven. Thank God.

ARIES March 21st – April 19th

Even if you find meditation boring, or have felt spiritually disconnected lately, reach out to your intuition anyway. Pay attention to dreams, hunches, or at least sit quietly and see what ideas come to you. If your partner meditates, ask to sit in. If single, you can start a relationship that sparks your spirit, or at least a sense of hope and excitement. Exercise can also be a way to bond with the soul within your body.

Meditate on your deepest dreams and desires. Ask yourself what stands in your way. Do you have supportive friends? Do you need to challenge your own negative and limited thinking? Do your actions put you on the path to fulfillment, or do they lead you down a road that doesn’t resonate with the results you crave? Have the courage to make choices that clearly take you to your goals!

Don’t cause problems where none exist in order to gain breathing room. Get reality checks from friends who know your love history. Release the past and trust the present! You can also get good advice about finances. In general, be more gentle with yourself and others.

SAGITTARIUS Nov. 22nd – Dec. 21st

Give yourself a break this month! Although fun-loving, you might have become too navel-gazing since Saturn entered your sign. Make plans with friends, or try a new activity that interests you. You’ll discover more about yourself playing than you will from self-examination. Even at work, get up and move around after sitting awhile. Breathing deeply renews your energy, and you’ll be re-inspired.

If you’ve had relationship confusion, things clear up this month. Have an level-headed conversation with your partner to make plans for the future that incorporate both of your visions for fulfillment. If single, meditate and write a wish list of what you want to manifest — about romance, self-esteem or finances. It’s such a creative time for you and infinite possibilities are at your fingertips, so take advantage of how easy it is to create a life you love!

CANCER June 21st – July 22nd

It’s possible to have success in both relationships and work! Meditate on ways to balance both avenues. If partnered, together you can come up with a plan that supports both of you professionally and romantically. If single, you can meet someone who aligns with your life vision. Also, de-stress by dancing, laughing, making art, playing with kids or pets and enjoying nature.

You’re breaking old patterns, maybe even childhood ones. When you make a big declaration of emotional freedom, it’s common that “the second force” comes in and tries to hold you back. It’s like gravity’s pull when a rocket goes toward outer space. Don’t get discouraged or fall back. Use affirmations, talk with supportive people and declare this new reality is the truth you will now live from!

LIBRA

SCORPIO

Sept. 23rd – Oct. 22nd

Oct. 23rd – Nov. 21st

Mars, the planet of energy and decisiveness is in your sign, helping manifest your dreams! You can start a new relationship, be offered a job, or feel so empowered that you make bold moves that bring you even more confidence and joy. You can also have health breakthroughs — for instance, you could uncover a food allergy that’s been depleting you. Or you might begin a yoga practice that lifts your vitality!

Happy birthday Scorpio! It doesn’t sound exciting, but clearing heart and mind of old resentments and frustrations allows so much joy to pour into your life! Write, meditate and share about stuff you’ve bottled up, and you’ll feel optimistic — almost innocent. By believing in the best, you draw the best to you. New relationships come in, or old ones get renewed. Also, money channels open that you’d forgotten about!

CAPRICORN

AQUARIUS

PISCES

Dec. 22nd – Jan. 19th

Jan. 20th – Feb. 18th

Feb. 19th – March 20th

Meditation, or even creative brainstorming, gives great problem-solving ideas. Let possibilities float into your mind without struggling to figure things out. Ask your intuition for an affirmation, almost like a private mantra, to use to keep your empowerment going. Positive energy is always stronger than negative thoughts! Awesome career options show up and you’ll have the confidence to say yes!

Aquarians struggle with feelings of belonging. You want to be avant-garde and distinctive, yet also crave connection. Meditate and journal about rejection experiences. Release old issues, since you’re interpreting present circumstances with past glasses on! You give off protective aloofness, so people back away, and then you feel lonely. Healing your heart creates inclusion, and you’ll also feel closer to the Universe and your spirituality.

Neptune moves direct in your sign, clearing up confusion in relationships, and also with career. You’ll be more sure about what you have to bring to romantic and professional partnerships. You could also get a raise at work, or surprising praise from a critic. If single, you can draw a new person who is magnetized by your dreamy energy. Either way, it is a sexy time, so enjoy having your fantasies come true!
