Bringing Grief out of the Shadows…

Finding Peace after Loss

By Vonne Solís

F

inding peace is not easy, but it can be done. People are constantly searching for answers in a world filled with suffering. At our core, most of us want to heal from pain and find peace. Divine Healing teaches us how to tap into our inner resources to create and enjoy optimal living within a peaceful, holistically content state.

Turning to the Divine for answers after loss helps us make sense of our grief amidst the fear, anger, guilt, hopelessness and despair that quickly sets in. Pondering a bleak future, it is not possible to move beyond depression, the feelings of anxiety and emptiness that many grievers live with, sometimes for years. Spiritual insight helps us put relentless questioning into perspective and surrender our dreams and longing for the past.

All suffering comes from the ego and fuels our belief in separation from Spirit and to each other. Healing is a core universal life lesson we have chosen to understand this. As spirit we are perfect. Living as a consciously alert being we come to view our difficulties with clarity that influences us to choose peaceful living. Surrendering to our truth as empowered beings connects us to our rightful place as part of the Divine, no matter how small this speck may be in physical form. Peace comes with this surrender and by accepting that all of our experiences are creations we have chosen to teach us greater lessons; the importance of some we may not yet realize.

Those we do recognize gift us with wisdom.

Loss must be honored as central to our life experience so that we can find peace.

While it may seem easier to stay stuck in suffering rather than become willing to heal from all pain, I know as a bereaved mom that a joyful life after loss is possible and worthwhile. As horrible an experience as it has been to lose my daughter, without her passing I am uncertain I could have come to understand this core lesson. My heart overflows with tenderness for anyone in pain. At the same time I tirelessly encourage others to understand they have the power within to find happiness without remorse for their loved one now gone.

By turning to inner power and through understanding absolute forgiveness and acceptance (the angels can help you with this), you will find lasting peace. It is through small joys rediscovered that you will feel life is worth living again. With even a small shift in thinking your heart will feel lighter and you will learn it is okay to live a life defined by happiness.

While we can’t know the reason for the circumstances or timing of anyone’s death, we can learn important lessons in staying behind. In learning this important lesson and amidst my own struggles, I found no other way to bring peace to my heart except by trusting in the angelic wisdom that became the foundation of Divine Healing. By surrendering all suffering, you will stop punishing yourself for circumstances beyond your control. In finding peace, while painful moments may serve to remind you of the difficult road you are leaving behind, they will also remind you of the good it is essential you allow back into your life to joyfully express from your soul. We are on the planet to express soulfully. As we surrender all resistance to healing, only peace can prevail.

Hypnosis for Pain Management

W

hether pain causes stress or being stressed worsens pain, it is clear that stress and pain are intimately related. The great news is that hypnosis can help break this cycle.

Years ago, when I lived in India, I inadvertently learned about the stress/pain connection and how hypnosis helps.

During a visit to the dentist, he proclaimed that the nerve in my tooth was dead so he saw no need to use freezing. He was wrong. He started to drill inside my tooth and the pain was so excruciating, it was like a powerful electrical charge was shooting through my body.

I decided to try to use what I thought was meditation to help, later learning that what I was actually doing was selfhypnosis. I was able to detach so completely from the pain, there was no emotion or feeling left at all related to the dental surgery. The pain became an object, like looking at a pen on a table. It seemed very far from me and I remained free from pain throughout the procedure.

The process of hypnosis is simple: the hypnotist helps the client fully focus on relaxation and letting go of distracting thoughts. This allows the conscious part of the brain to tune out, allowing the individual to more fully use the power of the entire brain.

When hypnotized, a person may experience physiologic changes, such as an increase in alpha brain waves, which are associated with a relaxed mental state, free from stress, where healthy thinking, enhanced creativity and balanced brain functioning occurs.

While a certified, experienced hypnotist can help you to achieve all of these benefits and more, one of the true strengths of hypnosis is that it can be taught to the individual.

Beyond pain management, hypnosis is a wonderful process that helps with many issues, including: fears, weight loss, addictions, relationship issues and more. Its simplicity, evidence of effectiveness, and that clients can be taught selfhypnosis, make it a useful tool of growing popularity.

“Research has shown medical hypnosis to be helpful for acute and chronic pain”1 Years later, as an NGH Certified Hypnotist, I have further experimented with self-hypnosis techniques to reduce my headaches to nothing and to remove pains in my shoulders or back when needed. I have also seen many clients with pain issues, who express amazement as reoccurring migraines are controlled and other pain is reduced significantly or completely.

Science supports what my clients and I have already learned.

One study, done in 1996 by a panel of the National Institutes of Health, found hypnosis to be effective in easing cancer pain. More recent studies have demonstrated its effectiveness for pain related to burns, cancer, and rheumatoid arthritis, as well as the reduction of anxiety associated with surgery.

Finally, an analysis of 18 studies by researchers at Mount Sinai School of Medicine in New York revealed moderate to high pain-relieving effects from hypnosis, supporting the effectiveness of hypnotic techniques for pain management.3

Are You Choosing Courage?

by Amâeil (Melinda Urban RIHR) Energy Psychotherapist, Theta/DNA Healing Facilitator, Vocal Healing Channel

W

e are living in a time that calls for our courage. This is a beckoning to our hearts, not our minds. Courage wells from a deep commitment within to create change. It does not involve any pushing, only the trust of Divine support through and through.

Courage is often misconstrued. We tend to think of needing to find courage for formidable circumstances, those that we view as herculean in nature and creating an extraordinary challenge to the physical body or person. Yet, consider that courage is really just allowing the Divine Self to shine through the body, the form through which we express. It’s Source is in the vastness of who we truly are.

Who we truly are is a field of all possibility at one with All That Is. So when we allow all else to be less significant, courage manifests and brings us into an experience of ourselves as powerful. This Self is always present whether we recognize its power or not. The power is always accessible whether we open to it or not. Our power is limitless no matter whether we can see that or not.

When faced with a seemingly insurmountable experience we have choice. We can choose to fall victim to the enormity or complexity of what appears to be real, or we can choose

empowerment and gain freedom in the experience by witnessing ourselves in our magnificence.

Our fears will take us to our courage if we see this opportunity. No fear can grip us more deeply than the fear of giving over to our true Selves by letting go of the many faces of our ego; our defenses, coping strategies, attachments, denials, and especially our self-definitions and roles. Most of us spend a lifetime inching through our moments to do just that. Through some growth experiences, we release false paradigms that no longer have effectiveness in our lives.

Healing through spiritual psychotherapy and theta healing can liberate us much more deeply and quickly. Sometimes we take leaps. Either way, on each occasion, another view of our courageousness rises into splendor. Beyond the veils of fear’s illusion we find another reality that is more steady, creative, and intelligent in its eternal design; it sustains itself in perpetual life. Fear is its antithesis; it is anti-life and pales in comparison, even though it seems to be, at times, mightier than our courage.

To live in the truth of who we really are is a courageous act in this world. To know the truth of this planet and its many shortfalls, and still take responsibility to be fully alive is courageous. To go within and face our shadow distortions and the false mind programming that has imprisoned us personally, and all of humanity, is courageous. To see our Selves beyond who we think you are, and see others beyond who we think they are, is courageous. This is the calling; to embody unification and Christ Consciousness as a current reality, expressing our Divine Selves through our created forms. This is love made manifest. continued on next page

Raising Consciousness

Making Dreams Come True Sri Chinmoy Answers

I

W

Rev. Sherry Harris, MSW, RSW, Cert. Spiritual Counsellor, Teacher, Coach

think there is a tendency to think others are going to do the work of raising the consciousness on this planet. We tend to be lazy about our growth until something happens that gives us a wake-up call. It can be a health challenge, a loss of a loved one or cherished relationship. It can be depression, anxiety or anger that creeps up and bites us. It is then we realize we have to make significant changes in our life if we are going to survive emotionally, physically and spiritually.

When we reach that point when we know we need to make significant changes in order to live a more peaceful and comforting life, where do we begin? The first step is an honest evaluation of what and what is not working in your life. As it is a little hard to be objective about ourselves, it is useful to have the help of a friend or counsellor to do this. We choose our friends generally because they love and accept us just the way we are so often they are not the best choice.

Family members can find it tough to be objective as well.

When we have decided what it is that is no longer serving us, it is useful to understand what purpose it has served for us up to now and to then lovingly and with gratitude let is go. Thank the behaviour for all it has done for you. In some way it has deluded you into thinking that you are loved and accepted. At our core, this is what we all long for.

Next step is to find a loving, supportive, healthy and selfrespecting way to meet the need the released action, emotion or thought filled. Example, I eat sugar because it makes me feel nurtured, it acts as a treat and for a brief period makes me feel special and loved.

What could replace that action that would provide the same feeling of being loved? I have found for me that taking time to simply stretch out and close my eyes for a few minutes, ten or so, releases stored tension, helps me to relax and fills me with comfort and nurturing. I am taking time to love myself as I take time to receive the love that innately comes to me from Divine Presence. You will have your own way to find inner peace replacing the need to use an addictive or unhealthy substance or unhealthy activity to bring gratification and the illusion of self-love.

Even in winter, a brief walk in the crisp, fresh air is rejuvenating and nurturing as you know you have done something good for yourself.

Point is, there are many self-loving ways to meet our needs to feel good about ourselves and with a little experimentation they are findable. Making good choices for ourselves brings such a boost in self-esteem it is remarkable. When we make loving choices for ourselves it comes naturally to us to want to do the same for others. It is hard to give to others what we are unable to give to ourselves. When we become kind, compassionate, loving and respectful to ourselves we will naturally extend that grace to others and our lives change in ways unimaginable. Only goodness will radiate back to you as that is what you are sending out.. Law of correspondence: As within so without. As you learn to vibrate in love, you will attract that love to you. Bottom line: be the Love you want to attract to yourself.

e are all born the masters of making our dreams come true. Babies have no trouble manifesting all that they need in a very short time through their care givers. As young children, our miracle consciousness is absolutely intact. We utter the words and put all our faith and being behind our hopes, wishes and aspirations, building great anticipation so that we can see, touch and smell our desires before they manifests before our eyes. Children timelessly nurture this state of consciousness – they live in a different realm than adults typically do if given the opportunity for unstructured, free, creative play. They live in the flow of creation and imagination, where all ideas and dreams stream from, where everything is interconnected, and solutions emerge spontaneously. Here, wisdom, love, compassion and forgiveness are as natural as the water and air around us. There is only NOW. What happens then as we grow up – and out of this state of mind? How do we lose touch with creation and the present moment?

It could be said that our miracles are being “explained” away by science and reason at an increasingly early age. Yet, we are still in search of the great mystery of life.

If we would still our busy minds, we would know that the great mystery is in a state of consciousness, to be experienced in the present moment; ours when we allow it.

“How?” one asks. “Just like the child at play,” I would say. By asking, aspiring and living the dream in all the cells of our beings, with excitement and anticipation of miracles.

Since everything is interconnected, adults can serve the highest good by nurturing the consciousness of plants, animals and young children, create with wisdom, and offer hope for the world by thinking with our hearts.

Kati Gabor is a trained and experienced educator of children and adults. Her dream is to create a space where children are nurtured in the creative flow and miracle consciousness of their birthright, and where adults can regain this awareness through the healing arts and their love for the Earth.

Question: You say that in a way our body is like a shell for our soul. What happens to the soul when our body dies? What does it do and where does it go?

SRI CHINMOY: As soon as the body dies, the physical enters into the gross physical, the vital enters into the vital world, the mind enters into the mental world and the heart enters into the psychic world. But the soul never dies. The soul is the immortal thing within us. At death, the soul gradually goes back to its own region, the soul’s region, for a short rest.

There are seven higher worlds, like seven rungs of the spiritual ladder, and seven lower worlds. The moment the soul leaves the body it climbs up one rung and then goes up, up, up and covers the seven rungs of consciousness of the seven higher worlds. Then finally it enters into the sea of immense peace.

There it takes rest. The length of the rest depends on the individual soul.

In the case of an ordinary soul which has not been able to manifest much or offer much to the earth, it usually comes back in about six years time from the soul’s region. However, if the soul is very advanced, as in the case of great spiritual Masters, it may come back only once in three or four hundred years.

And again, if it is the Will of the Supreme, then a very advanced spiritual person may even come back after fifteen or twenty years. But usually ordinary souls come back into the field of creation and manifestation in six years time.

Before it comes back into the world of manifestation, the soul goes to the Lord Supreme for an interview. They have a heart-to-heart talk. The soul tells the Supreme how much it has achieved in its previous incarnation and the Supreme tells it how much it has to achieve in its next incarnation. When the Supreme tells the soul what to do, He gives the necessary power and light to the soul to achieve it.

The soul always comes down like a divine soldier. It enters into the battlefield of life and fights against doubt, obscurity, ignorance, imperfection, limitations, worries and so forth. It tries to reveal its own inner divinity and establish the divine Truth on earth according to its capacity.

Each time the soul enters into the world it makes a solemn promise that it will manifest God here on earth. Therefore, whatever the soul wants from your life is the most important thing in your life. The soul accepts a particular body and tries to manifest something divine on earth through that body. In its next incarnation, it takes another body to manifest other divine qualities. At the end of its journey’s close in each particular incarnation, it goes back to its own region and takes rest.

Intuitive Ability

W

e all have intuitive abilities, it is our natural birth right and way of being. One of the biggest things holding many people back from being naturally psychic and intuitive is how they are using their mind. Intuition , healing , and psychic ability do not function within people with minds that are stewing over life, stressing, are over active in their minds, and living in the past.

As a psychic and teacher of intuition, I see the biggest breakthroughs occur in clients intuitive abilities when they work on breaking the old habit of using your mind in nonproductive ways. Silence is the ideal state. Living in joy is the ideal sate. Both these states do not at all depend on outward circumstances but as a result of breaking old habits and allowing more productive ones to replace them.

We do get comfortable in the role we play in life and sometimes breaking out into a new way is threatening and feels unsafe. Clients who give making a change in the way they use their mind a serious chance, within a month they are beginning to see a manifestation of their intuitive abilities.

This is for sure.

I suggest for one month to keep a journal with you or notebook and take note every time you see yourself thinking in a negative way. Then notice your behaviour and then correct it. It is important to note it in the moment. Really notice when your mind is mulling any life situation over in a negative way. Then at that moment replace it with positive thoughts. We always have more power in dealing with life in a joyous, loving, positive way. Always in life, difficulties will be there however it is still within our power to deal with life in a positive and high frequency way rather than simply reacting in anger or resentment. These states will not produce the energy vibrations necessary to have everything work out for the best and to have your built-in guidance system (intuition) show you the best way for your life.

There are many other ways to break the life long habits holding you back from living your life to the fullest and having your healing, intuition, and natural guidance systems functioning properly. For help in breaking these habits and removing blockages please contact me, Marlene Stevens, for life coaching sessions. It can be of great benefit to those who really want to make a change to having life flow better and to receive messages and guidance on all areas of their life. I also offer classes both on line and in person for those interested in developing their intuitive and natural healing abilities.

Three Faces Of Detoxification: Emotional, Mental & Physical

by Grace Joubarne & Joyce Friesen

M

ost readers are familiar with the work of Clinical Hypnotherapist, Grace Joubarne and Joyce Friesen, Integral Living Coach, through previous articles.

Although Grace may not have referred to hypnotherapy as “emotional detoxification” of the subconscious mind, that is essentially what it is. Hypnotherapy (not just hypnosis) will assist a person to detoxify from any of a whole range of negative and unproductive emotions and beliefs, to dissolve those negative energies, leaving them with a sense of safety, restoration, control and emotional vibrancy.

Mental detoxification involves being mindful of one’s thoughts and changing unhelpful thinking patterns.

Once a person’s subconscious mind is emptied of negative and unproductive beliefs, Grace assists hypnotherapy clients in changing unhelpful neural programming (trigger/response pathways) by embedding, at the deep subconscious level, a specific trigger word that will cause the brain to release calming hormones instead of the usual stress chemical known as cortisol. Thus, even in stressful situations, a person can calm down, think objectively and develop new, more fruitful reactions to old triggers.

A large number of Grace’s clients are on, or have been on, psychoactive medications. While the emotional and mental detoxifications are quite easy, clients find that the medications have left them with a myriad of physical issues including digestive disturbances, toxic livers and kidneys, forgetfulness, tremors and so on. Most medications cause issues that resemble what they were given to treat. These are called paradoxical symptoms.

To help clients accelerate physical healing that could take years as the body purges itself of the residue of these medications, most of which are now linked to dementia, strokes and heart attacks, Grace also provides the resource material clients need to wean themselves off these addictive medications safely and to access properly staged physical detoxifications.

Joyce Friesen’s passion and commitment certainly supports Grace Joubarne is a Clinical Hypnotherapist with offices in Ottawa and Belleville. Contact info: info@graceplacewellness.com, web address: www.graceplacewellness.com toll-free: 1-888-390-3553

and enhances the results of Grace’s work in that she is able to assist clients to address the physical detoxification of the body, open the organs of elimination and rebalance the main systems of the body using the formula: Nourish + Cleanse = Balance.

Our bodies continually remove waste products from metabolic processes, as well as invaders such as bacteria, viruses and fungi. But they become overwhelmed because of life choices and the stress hormone cortisol that causes inflammation in the body, and which, if left unchecked, becomes overwhelming oxidative stress, the cause of all physical malfunctions.

In most cases, the physical symptoms one experiences are the result of prolonged mental and emotional stress. Think of physical toxic overload as a cup that is too full, with no drain plug, so it overflows.

The overflow manifests in your body as ailments, illness and degenerative diseases such as heart disease, cancer and Alzheimer’s.

The problem with so many detox programs is that they actually make the situation worse. That’s because they do not begin with the most important first step, which is to open up the organs of elimination. These organs are the lungs, kidneys, colon, skin and liver. The liver is not technically an organ of elimination, but a giant filtration system so that unwanted debris can be removed from the body. If the filter is plugged, little debris can be flushed out.

Here are some simple techniques to get you started right now, so that you can actually begin to remove your body’s toxic buildup: deep breathing for the lungs, pure water for the kidneys and colon, along with far infrared saunas for skin and liver.

In addition, whole foods along with carefully selected adaptogenic herbs are key to detoxification, as well as being critical for the body’s nourishment. In fact if the body is not properly nourished, no detoxification or cleansing will take place. That’s because in the hierarchy of energy utilization detox or cleansing is way down the list. Your body will make sure your circulation and respiratory systems are at least minimally functioning with the little energy it has or you will die.

So don’t delay. Contact Grace and Joyce so you can begin to thrive too!

Something New: Comprehensive Healing

by Laurie Fraser

I

was in a meditative state while working on a friend this winter when Jesus came by. He comes fairly often to do Facade Healings (Tone Magazine, Dec. 2010). So I asked him, “Teach me to heal like you do it,” and he’s been showing me. Jesus always attends when I do these healings.

The friend described the first one as “comprehensive”.

I go to a place of unconditional Divine love and then find the feeling of unity: All is One. This usually involves visions/experiences such as a joyous raindrop joins a joyous ocean or I’m a flower in a garden and I become the garden and then the field and then the soil around the earth. I feel love in each flower even while feeling I’m the whole earth.

I become large and One; I remember that I am God, that we all are.

“Lynn”, age 50, stress, pulling pains in her forearms and lower legs: Comprehensive Healing: I saw waves that became ocean.

It was sunny and I flew high over the ocean, fast, toward the horizon. My mind wanted to put ships there or garbage or islands, but truly, there was nothing except water in every direction. I saw Lynn floating on the water far below and I held my hands above her, a light coming from my palms that calmed her as she rocked in the waves and light and eventually sank below the surface, becoming One with the water. I understood then that her worries were “insignificant”.

After some time I lifted her from the water with a hand under her neck and one under her knees. The blue water became shallow and warm; there were many islands about. The woman in my arms seemed very peaceful. I was guided to place this image into Lynn’s heart.

Immediately after, Lynn reported feeling very relaxed. She said that she realized the stressful situations at work were “irrelevant”; she had a “wider perspective.” Her parents had been pressuring her to visit family in Greece (warm water and islands?) and she reported an imagining of herself in Greece and feeling very happy.

“M.J.”, age 42, unemployed, “feeling down”, poor digestion, fatigue, aching joints.

Comprehensive Healing: I started with love over the client’s heart, moving my hands eventually to about a foot over the root and crown. I closed my eyes to see her shrink between my hands and I grew as large as the sky, but I could still see every detail of her. I held my giant hands over her tiny body and colours came out of them, bathing her first with blue then green then yellow then white then black. After some time, I lifted her up. The image in my outstretched hands became a skinny squalling baby. She was very hungry. I held her to my breast and called upon Mother Mary because I understood it wasn’t milk she craved, it was her mother’s love. She drank until she was fat and had sleepy bubbles around her mouth. I wrapped the image of the baby in a blanket of green light and I was guided to put this image into the client’s heart.

M.J. is from a large family; she was the last of many babies.

I used other healing methods with these clients as well. They reported a lessening of symptoms and “some deep stuff moving around”.

I give thanks to my guides, teachers and to Archangel Michael.

Be Careful What You Ask For

By Kerry Palframan RN

F

or over 20 years I’ve been playing with setting my intent for what I’d like to manifest in my life. The old adage “be careful what you ask for” continues to apply. Like many of you, I’ve learned my lessons the hard way or by trial and error.

The first time I heard the concept of writing down your desires in order to make them manifest, I wrote out over 100 requests.

Asking the Universe for something is akin to throwing a tennis ball out into the cosmos and your request is immediately heard and the response is like having a tennis ball fly right back at you. The proverbial tennis ball is the opportunity presenting itself to see if you truly desire your request.

Sending out 100 requests was like getting pummelled by a 100 tennis balls all at once. Ouch! Overwhelming and a silly thing to do, but hey, I was just learning. And although I try and keep my requests down to one at a time, I still get out-ofhand sometimes and get overwhelmed with opportunities to prove I really do desire the stated outcomes.

For example, one of my requests was to learn about boundaries and how to say no. Well didn’t I get barraged with opportunities from people asking things of me, getting in my face and my space and generally overwhelming me with wanting something from me? Of course it was simply an opportunity to practice my boundaries. Not so simple to implement at the time as I had a hard time saying no – but I did learn from it.

Another time when I was moving, at the top of my list was “water”. I was living on a lake and needed to have water in, around or near my new home. Indeed I did move and into a second floor apartment that was right over a car wash. I got misted by water every day. It’s a real funny God in this Universe.

I continue to learn just how clear one must be when setting intent. The most recent example was my intent to move to a warmer drier climate. Two weeks later my doctor gave me the results of my knee MRI and said “Kerry, your knees are ruined; you need to move to warmer, drier climate”. I laughed out loud and knew that this was just part of my opportunity.

I was not clear enough. As soon as I change my request and wrote out “hot, sunny, dry, climate”, an opportunity to spend the winter in Arizona presented itself.

The point is, be mindful of what you ask for and how you ask for it. Being clear and specific is best and be sure to write only the things you desire, not the things you do not desire.

For example, if you are setting your intent to attract a partner into you life, you do not want to make a list of traits he/she does not have, but rather a list of traits they do have.

Ask and you shall receive – and you can bet it probably won’t look exactly as you thought. But if you can see the opportunities arise, acknowledge them, laugh at your own folly and be grateful, then all will be in Divine Order.

hat is the real secret of healing?

What is the key to transforming any aspect of your life, including health, relationships, and finances, and achieving inner joy and peace?

Soul Healing is a breakthrough system emphasizing Soul Power, or soul over matter, to reveal a simple, but profound truth: the soul can heal. These extraordinary teachings are based on the work of Dr. and Master Zhi Gang Sha, world-renowned soul healer, inspired teacher, Divine Channel and bestselling author.

Dr. and Master Zhi Gang Sha is an M.D. from China and a doctor of traditional Chinese medicine in China and Canada.

He is a grandmaster of many ancient disciplines, including Tai Chi, Qigong, Kung Fu, Feng Shui, the I Ching, and more.

Since July 2003, when Master Sha was chosen as a Divine Servant, Vehicle and Channel, Master Sha has travelled the world empowering people to self-heal and heal others.

Humanity is suffering. Many people suffer from chronic pain and life-threatening illnesses. Many people suffer from emotional and mental imbalances such as anxiety, depression, worry, sadness, fear and more. Many people have serious relationship challenges. Many people are struggling financially, losing jobs and homes.

Humanity is in a special time of serious purification.

Mother Earth is in a special time of serious transition. Natural disasters, including hurricanes, earthquakes, volcanoes, tornados, floods, dust storms and more; drought and other extremes in weather; famine; wars and all kinds of conflict between people and organizations, including threats of nuclear weapons; economic challenges for individuals, institutions and entire countries; emotional volatility and mental instability; new communicable diseases; pollution of

the land, air and water—all of these and more are part of Mother Earth’s transition.

During this transitional period, special abilities are needed to help humanity get through the purification. More and more people are searching for wisdom, knowledge and practical techniques, outside of the traditional modalities. There are ancient secrets and new teachings, which are now being shared through teachers like Dr. and Master Zhi Gang Sha, because they are needed.

• Do the principles and practices you’ve been working on have anything to do with your body, or are they all in your mind?

• If you arrived at enlightenment without taking your body with you, would it be any fun anyway?

• If your body were telling you it would like to contribute to the process, would you hear what it was trying to tell you?

What if your body were as conscious as you are, and could be your partner in this journey? If your body were actually more conscious than you are, would you be willing to listen to it? What if the consciousness you are seeking were only possible by including your body in the process? What might that look like?

Including our bodies in the process of becoming more conscious and aware is an essential part of Access Consciousness. Its founder, Gary Douglas, has stated repeatedly that until we get the greatness of embodiment, we are destined to return to earth again and again until we get it.

Once we can truly get the greatness of embodiment, then we have a choice about coming back here or not. Embodiment, in Douglas’s definition, is not only being in a body (that’s part of it), but also every aspect of being in that body in this entire reality. Wow! Is that a daunting enough task for you?

Fortunately, Access Consciousness offers a myriad of tools which can make this process of embodiment easier, more ease-filled, and more fun. These energetic processes are easily learned, easy and fun to do, and can be done by anyone. There is no minimum education level—or even age level. Many children who are familiar with them can produce faster and more dramatic changes than their parents!

These processes look no more dramatic than what some may call “laying on of hands.” They are as simple as putting your hands on the body and asking the particular energy that body requires to “turn on.” Yet the simplicity of these body processes belies their effectiveness.

www.AccessConsciousness.com Many miracles have occurred for ordinary lay people using the Access body processes. One man, diagnosed with third stage bone cancer, had his wife do the processes on him in bed every night for six weeks. On his return visit to the doctors, they found him in remission. Remissions from cancer this advanced do not normally occur, and certainly are not explainable by “evidence-based medicine,” which is all the rage in medical circles these days. This man’s doctors were expecting him to be in stage four bone cancer when he returned to them. He remains in remission 6 years later..

Many others have used these body processes to heal themselves and their families and clients of other lifethreatening diseases, including uterine cancer, bladder cancer, prostate cancer, fibroids, arthritis of various kinds, and more.

Interestingly, although these results do border on the miraculous, these miracle cures are not the target of Access Consciousness. Access Founder Gary Douglas has changed his thinking on this. He used to think that by performing these healings, people would choose consciousness. That’s putting the cart before the horse, he’s discovered. What actually happens is that as people get more conscious, using all the processes of Access, their bodies naturally heal.

What if consciousness were actually the most potent healing force on the planet? Would you be willing to use it to heal whatever ails you?

Would you be will to have a different reality with your body ? I will be facilitating Access Body Process’s in Ottawa for anyone asking for more ease with their bodies. The pre requisite for participating in a 3 hour body process workshop is The Access BARS class.

Simply being in the presence of the Twintreess, one’s awareness of LifeForce energy is heightened. Further, the Twintreess have a keen sense of where/ how a person is draining their vital LifeForce, and within the context of a workshop, they offer this precious and often sensitive

ear Community, I am so excited!

Marilyn and Tohmas Twintreess are coming back to Ottawa by popular demand! Yes, this beautiful couple of wondrous Spirit Listeners from New Mexico, will be coming to share of themselves with the Ottawa region folks.

Marilyn and Tohmas are Spirit Listeners; they listen to, record, and act upon the heart wisdom of all Earth Beings.

From this sacred and respectful space of listening, Marilyn and Tohmas co-create with the Earth Elementals. Examples of these co-creations are: the well-known Stones Alive! series of reference guides on the energetic qualities of stones; the amazing range of AhhhMuse Vibrational Jewelry where each piece comes with its own personalized stone message; the hand-held crystal bowls originally designed by Twintreess in 1995 through their listening to the Crystal Deva; and the Peace Across the Planet project where very large sacred stones from India, called Shiva Lingams, are raised in several communities around the world in order to create a peace grid! … Wild and real, I tell you!

Marilyn and Tohmas have much to share and are very compassionate teachers. The Twintreess teach from the basis of listening with their heart, first and foremost. Though they have many talents, I’d say that one of their biggest ones is their compassionate ability to teach basic essential skills for better managing our own LifeForce energy. Actually, this is what the Twintreess state regularly: Managing your LifeForce energy is your #1 job. They offer Spirit Coaching in ways that allow people to be more conscious of where they drain their energy and to simultaneously recognize what fuels their energy most happily.

information with loving compassion.

It is not always comfortable to become aware of those places of energy leakage, but once we are conscious of them, it becomes so easy to make appropriate, respectful and loving choices for ourselves. The Twintreess’ own personal journey of dozens of years of practice allows them to practice this essential skill of LifeForce energy management.

For me, a big piece of learning regarding my own energy management related to my willingness to speak my truth. I had so much fear around speaking up about things, especially in relationship and concerning things that would be hurtful to me: I would just adjust or succumb to the other person’s way in order to avoid any conflict. To shift this energy leakage has been and continues to be an important process in my own energy management. Being regularly with the Twintreess, they offer me tips, awareness and ways to observe this for myself, and also, ways to shift this too. I realized many places where I gave away so much of my energy without even realizing it! I still have a ways to go— though now, not only am I saying and speaking up on things that feel unpleasant or hurtful to me in relationship with another, I also feel much more spontaneous at speaking up in general. I share my ideas more easily (and I even impress myself with them!) and I share happy thoughts spontaneously too! I even joke more!

(Hey, my sister could count on one hand how many jokes I used to say in one year!) Well, things change: I’m changing; I’m happier and happier at being me and speaking my truth, and I’m becoming a better and better energy manager. I even offer myself promotions regularly! continued on next page

High Blood Pressure New Life Acupuncture & Oriental Medicine Center and Acupuncture Steve (Eun Kyu) Ryu lood pressure is the force of the flowing blood pushing against the walls of the arteries. High blood pressure, or hypertension, occurs when the blood pressure rises and stays high over a period of time, causing damage to blood vessel walls. Hypertension is a dangerous condition because it often shows no symptoms, which means that a person can have it for many years before realizing it. If left uncontrolled, hypertension can lead to serious health problems including heart attack, stroke, brain damage, kidney damage, and blindness.

There are two types of hypertension, classified according to their cause. Primary or essential hypertension has no identifiable cause, and tends to develop gradually over many years. Secondary hypertension tends to develop more suddenly and is the result of another condition, most commonly kidney or thyroid disease, or is a result of taking certain medications. There are many factors that increase the risk of hypertension, some of which we can’t control, such as genetics, age, and race, and some of which we can control, such as long-term stress, obesity, smoking, high-salt diet, alcohol abuse and a sedentary life style.

Because diet, stress, and lifestyle play such important roles in the development of hypertension, they are key factors in managing and preventing it. Diet is an important factor, and lowering salt intake, eating less packaged and fast foods (which are high in sodium and fat), and eating fruits and vegetables regularly will all have a positive effect on blood pressure. Cutting back or cutting out smoking and excessive alcohol intake will also reduce blood pressure.

Physical activity is a necessity in fighting hypertension; this can be as simple as a half hour walk every day. Managing

stress and taking time to relax is also important because constant stress and emotional instability can cause blood vessels to contract.

In Western medicine the treatment of high blood pressure depends on the severity of it. Mild hypertension can be treated with lifestyle changes and relaxation. More severe cases require medication. Unfortunately, there is no real cure for hypertension, which means a patient usually has to take medication for life, and may also be dealing with sideeffects for life.

In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) hypertension is also the result of emotional imbalance, poor nutrition and stress but in TCM there is a different view of hypertension.

Western medicine approach considers hypertension to be a disease of the cardiovascular system. TCM takes into account the dysfunction of the whole body, which commonly involves the improper functioning of the liver and kidneys that may affect the function of heart. Emotional problems and stress may lead to improper liver functioning, whereas poor nutrition will have an effect on the stomach and spleen. High blood pressure and the symptoms are seen as the superficial aspect of the deeper underlying health condition, so treatment is not just to eliminate or alleviate the symptoms, but to treat the underlying cause, and to prevent further progression of other illness or disease associated by the disorder.

Acupuncture is used to help correct the improper function of the underlying problems in the body by returning them to their normal state. Combined with the necessary lifestyle changes, acupuncture can help get the condition under control and can help to manage the condition without side effects, offering an alternative treatment for those who are looking for a more natural way to treat high blood pressure.

TALK: Discover Which Animals Are Your Spirit Guides and Totems with Kerry Palframan

Animal Guides, Totems and Medicine

By Kerry Palframan RN

Animals (including your pets) are on the earth to assist humanity and impart their wisdom.

Animal medicine means that a particular animal brings something into your life that you require at the time. It is called medicine because the encounter or energy of the animal can help strengthen, heal, empower, restore, support or renew you at any level of your being - emotional, physical, intellectual or spiritual – depending on where it is required the most.

The animal’s traits, characteristics, behaviours, habitat and symbolic meaning aid you and guides you step-by-step in your healing process.

Animals will teach you if you allow them to and it’s as simple as calling upon their energy and essence and they are instantly at your service – just as your spirit guides in the unseen realm are also instantly at your service when you call upon them.

Animal totems can be seen as channels or frequencies similar to a radio depending on the need of the individual. Animal totems are your guides and come and go throughout your life as needed – even if you are unaware of their assistance. They offer you their traits, qualities and characteristics to use in your life to help you grow and move forward in the ways most helpful for you at a particular time. For example, if you need to slow down in your life, you can call upon turtle medicine to help (for turtles move very slowly). But turtles also have a protective shell, so if you are in need of some safety and security, you could also call on a turtle medicine to protect you.

If you need to get creative and busy constructing and building something new in your life, you could call upon beaver medicine. To help you see something from a new angle or a higher perspective you could call upon an eagle guide to assist.

Animals have hidden qualities and forces in nature that you can access if you can attune with them and ask for their assistance, or ask for their vibration and essence to be with you.

The animals exemplify qualities that you can learn from – qualities you need or are lacking in your daily life at that particular time.

Using the animals as spiritual tools along your individual journey (to guide you on your path of self-discovery) is a great asset in helping you through challenging periods of your life and assisting you with aligning with your soul’s purpose.

When a certain animal crosses your path, be it through an actual encounter, dream or just an image of an animal that catches your attention repetitively, than you can consider this animal a guide with a message for you.

EFT is a fairly recent leading edge paradigm shift in health, healing, psychology, and medicine. The " discovery statement " and basis for its successful functioning is: “The cause of ALL negative emotions is a disruption in your body's energy systems”. Yes, no matter what your background or what your education is or is not, here is a healing gift to help yourself and others. Come and learn the basics to tapping on your energy meridians - all 14 - tap on all or some. Be surprised! No needles, no digital pressures, no massage necessary. Just tap with a “set-up” procedure and reduce or eliminate specific negative emotions. Thus you change feelings and thinking around your issues, problems, challenges, including fears, anger, jealousies, frustrations, worry, trauma, addictions... even stop smoking! Come Saturday for the Workshop. It could change you for the better. Bring a friend, a disbeliever or a skeptic! In summary: from this 3 hours of training you should be able to: 1. Describe and explain EFT and its new possibilities for you and yours.

2. Apply proven tapping techniques to your issues, challenges, complaints ... any negative emotions.

Sludge Out - Light In Meditation Ian Prattis

W

hen anger, hatred, fear or other distress starts to overwhelm you, and you have discerned from your body that negativity is being created, stop what you are doing and find a quiet place. Take time to honour the body’s communication system, for through its agitation it is saying: Stop; Something Negative has been triggered; Surface it; Acknowledge it; Deal with it; - This body is in discomfort with its presence!

This meditation draws its roots from India and Zen practice. The sushumna is the central energy system that goes up through the centre of the vertebrae in the spinal column. The charkas are wheels that move the energy so there can ultimately be a unified column of energy from the bottom of the spine all the way up to the crown. Our mental formations, however, fill the sushumna with the sludge of negativity and suffering. This meditation is a clearing instrument, based on making the breath a friend and identifying the sludge we create with our minds. The work is internal.

Find a quiet place and sit comfortably with the spine erect and feet planted firmly on the floor. Breathe gently into the heart chakra up to the crown and allow the intelligence of breath to circulate throughout the body on the out-breath. Relax into this all-encompassing energy state and allow agitation in the body to diminish. After twenty breaths or when you feel calm, begin this meditation.

Identify the negativity only when calm and after ten breaths or so, ask inside: “What is this negativity about?”

“Is it anger? What is the underlying hurt?”

“Is it emotion? What feelings are being denied?”

“Is it fear? What feeling is triggering this reaction?”

“Is it desire? What is the inadequacy about?”

“Is it hatred? Who am I trying to hit back at?” and so on.

With the identification in mind, bring the next breath gently into the heart chakra. On the in-breath take it right through the body to the back of the spine and feel it connect to the centre of your vertebrae. Visualize the breath as a spiral of white light that infuses the heart chakra to the spinal column. Still on the in-breath take the light and energy up the spinal column right to the crown of the head.

Then Pause. Having identified the cause of the negative defilement that has so agitated the body, state quietly: “I choose to rid my body, being and cells of this negativity.”

On the out-breath flood the body and entire spinal column with white light and make sure the energy travels through your body and out of your feet into the ground.

Repeat the entire meditation sequence ten times until

PINE GATE SANGHA

Engaged Buddhism in the tradition of Thich Nhat Hanh Nucleus of Friends for Peace Canada Teachings every Thursday 7.00pm - 9.00pm Pine Gate Meditation Hall 1252 Rideout Cr, Ottawa, ON K2C 2X7 Contacts: iprattis@bell.net chill.carolyn@gmail.com • 613 726 0881 www.ianprattis.com/pinegate.htm you feel the negativity leaving your body.

You will also feel physically lighter. Then in this light and calm take a further step.

Breathe in to the heart chakra up to the crown with such gentleness and reverence, then on the out-breath fill yourself from top to toe with clear, crystalline white light.

Breathe in and out of this purified energy state for ten breaths, and feel the difference in your body. This particular meditation is most valuable for instances where you have keyed into bodily signals about negativity, and the defilement has yet to manifest itself into behaviour. You have not kicked the dog! Or allowed the reaction to manifest in your speech or action. This is preventive medicine, taking care of the distress before you say or do something harmful.

If you can learn to respond with stillness and awareness to a stimulus that is damaging, then its energy is rendered ineffective. In this kind of healing meditation the stimulus loses its energy and power to ignite the traumas in the body and mind. For your part it involves the choice to be in a place of stillness, to be aware, to want to be free of knots of suffering and trauma so that you can connect to the vast consciousness within.

or filmmaker Rob Stewart, exploring sharks began as an underwater adventure. What it turned into was a beautiful and dangerous life journey into the balance of life on earth.

Driven by passion fed from a life-long fascination with sharks, Stewart debunks historical stereotypes and media depictions of sharks and reveals the reality of sharks as pillars in the evolution of the seas.

Filmed in visually stunning, high definition video, Sharkwater takes you into the most shark rich waters of the world, exposing the exploitation and corruption surrounding the world’s shark populations in the marine reserves of Cocos Island, Costa Rica and the Galapagos Islands, Ecuador.

In an effort to protect sharks, Stewart teams up with renegade conservationist Paul Watson of the Sea Shepherd Conservation Society. Their unbelievable adventure together starts with a battle between the Sea Shepherd and shark poachers in Guatemala, resulting in pirate boat rammings, gunboat chases, mafia espionage, corrupt court systems and attempted murder charges, forcing them to flee for their lives.

Through it all, Stewart discovers these magnificent creatures have gone from predator to prey, and how despite surviving the earth’s history of mass extinctions, they could easily be wiped out within a few years due to human greed.

Stewart’s remarkable journey of courage and determination changes from a mission to save the world’s sharks, into a fight for his life, and that of humankind.

2. This would be a perfect month to travel or spend quality time with the people in your life. Get out of the office, as everything come to a big halt, and will only add frustration to your life if you hang around.

3. There will be a spring in your step and you will feel a new life in your exhausted bones. The world will seem brighter and there will be more opportunities for fun, vacations and new beginnings. Try to focus on creative pursuits around the home, or with your family.

4. Have you placed issues connected to your body and mind on hold for far too long? I know that you are very, very busy, but you cannot ignore it any longer. If you do you will get a big slap in the head. Get your act in gear and pay attention, NOW. Fix what needs fixing.

5. Is your work life in a state of chaos or change? Watch your mouth and be very careful that you say as it might get you in trouble later. If there are changes needed at work, take the reins and move forward and promote yourself, now.

This is a super business influence.

6. Your attention will be focused on your loved ones, in June.

Make an effort to be generous and tolerant of everyone’s flaws or short comings. This whole year will focus on endings, and the month of June is about ending issues around the house or family. Your emotions could run hot.

7. Have you thought about your goals, for the future, yet?

What are you waiting for? You are in the first year of a nine year chunk of time, and a 7 month, so it is all about you. Do you want a new career, new home or a new love?

Make a plan.

8. Career or money restrictions will stop you from either taking a vacation or enjoying it. There will be a surplus of work thrown in your face, this month. You are being stretched beyond yourself. The result will be a new and better you, but you will work hard for it.

9. Pack your bags as it is time for you take a well deserved holiday. If money is low, kick back have a few buddies in for a BBQ. You will experience a few endings in June, but this is important, so you can open new doors as early as July. Do not start anything new, just tie up loose ends and get ready for a light switch to be thrown into the ON position.

What the Energy Sector Can Teach Us About Healing

W

hether or not you agree with the government’s national policies on energy resources, how they should be accessed and used, one thing is clear: It is important to promote the development of renewable energy resources and to conservatively manage our non-renewable resources. This is common sense. You could also say that, what energy source you’re considering, is just as important as being resourceful.

The same principle applies with Healing. Being resourceful is just as important as having resources. For example, you could have a permanent condition like paraplegia and lead a happy, fulfilling and resourceful life. The reverse is true as well. You could be living a life full of resources and yet suffer because you can’t access them.

Having Resources vs. Being Resourceful Resources like courage, compassion, strength, focus, patience, love, trust and our many gifts, can sometimes be out of our reach.

Healing is about discovering the gifts and resources we have and how to access them. It is about transforming our non-resourceful beliefs and stories into beliefs and stories that

June 2012

serve us better and give us more access to our inner resources. Healing is also about awakening and learning to access more of who we are, as individuals and as a species.

From this vantage point, challenges in life including diseases and illness, can be seen as opportunities to change our stories, our behaviours and all that which has not worked for us, that which has kept our resourcefulness at a minimum.

Healing is not about eliminating a disease or problem as much as it is about becoming more resourceful. Once we are able to access more of our inner resources, challenges in life no longer seem insurmountable, our bodies physically heal, relationships that were problematic in the past become much easier and more fulfilling.

Healing Mother Earth, A Fairy tale

by Reza Shadman

I

t is May 2nd, 2012, around noon. I am surrounded by flat, layered rocks, tall slender trees, and beautiful wild white flowers. This is an untouched area of nature, right in the middle of the city of Kanata; an area that is perhaps donated by the developers to the city. It will probably rain soon, but for now, one can feel a noticeable presence of peace. The birds are singing, the crows are softly calling each other, and a few butterflies and bees are circling in the air.

I used to be disconnected from the land, but my frequent trips to meditate in nature is slowly re-connecting me to this wonderful presence we call Mother Earth. My love for Earth is growing every day. I can feel a connection to the presence of trees, the rocks, the rivers, and have even found a growing respect for mosquitoes. I usually start my meditations by calling upon the Angels, but recently I have started calling onto the Fairies of the land. The moment I call them, I stop thinking and become fully present, absorbed in the surrounding. A real treat for my constantly thinking mind.

The universe, realizing my desire to know about Fairies, has brought a book about them to me. It is titled “Healing with the Fairies” by Doreen Virtue. It is full of tips and stories on how to heal with the Fairies, as the title suggests.

Most importantly it contains a message of urgently helping the Earth. A message that rings very close to my heart and became my inspiration behind writing this article.

“We see humans thoughtlessly throwing trash upon nature, and polluting with pesticides and toxins... However, when we find a human, light worker, who sincerely desires to help the environment, our hearts are gladdened.

We need humans in more ways than one. Not only do we need their help in cleansing the environment, but we also need their help in believing in us. Please help us, Doreen, to let people know that we are real.

Please tell people to believe in us! Believe in us! People’s belief gives us power and energy, which enables us to be more productive. The more people believe in us, the more power we have. We believe that all of us can be friends and work together toward our common goals” I believe every one in any capacity can help. If you desire to help, but not sure how, focus on your heart, and if you are sincere in your desire, your heart will lead you there. While walking in nature, ask the guardians of animals and plants to bring you ideas, and when in your heart space, you can hear or feel their subtle guidance. Start by carrying a plastic bag and pick up the trash. You’ll be surprised to see the number of people who thank you for that. And remember to walk gently on the grass.

Natural Pain Relief Tips

By Dr. Blaise Ryan, TCMD, Doctor of Chinese Medicine uch! There’s nothing worse than pain. It is said that ‘fear’ itself is the anticipation of pain. We all try to avoid it. But none of us can escape it forever.

We can classify pain in two broad categories: Acute pain and chronic pain. Acute pain is categorized as pain lasting less than 30 days. If we are lucky, acute pain heals quick. If not, it can develop into chronic pain. When pain becomes chronic, we need to take action to heal it, otherwise it can become worse and slowly eat away our energy and rob us of the pleasures life offers. To heal from pain, we first need to understand its causes.

Keeping it simple, we can categorize pain into 4 types.

First, is pain from physical trauma, caused by obvious injury.

Second is joint and nerve compression, caused by poor posture and muscles that are either too tight or too weak that cause the body to contort out of sorts. This is the kind of pain that massage therapy, acupuncture, polarity therapy or chiropractic adjustments can often bring relief to.

The third kind of pain is from inflammation and cellular toxicity. This is often the pain that is associated with arthritis, fibromyalgia, migraines and other auto-immune problems.

The fourth kind of pain is caused from organ malfunction, also known as visceral pain. Heart attacks, gall bladder attacks, kidney stones, ulcers, and other acute problems within the organs themselves can cause extreme pain.

Those suffering from chronic pain will usually have a combination of causes relating to the pains. It’s quite common for inflammation to aggravate compressed joints for example.

Often too, people who had an injury may change their posture in order to compensate for the injury, thus causing nerve or joint compression somewhere else.

Additionally, many organ malfunctions will have chronic inflammation at their root. Unfortunately many people who

O

suffer from pain will develop more pain and new pains if they are not treated effectively. Therefore, pain is not a simple thing to treat and the best approach to pain is to attack it from two angles: Decompress the joints to relieve the nerves and detoxify the body to reduce inflammation.

There are many therapies that help decompress the joints.

Massage therapy is great to relax the tight muscles that are pulling the joints together. Chiropractic care can help bring the joints back into their proper position. Acupuncture can help stimulate slack muscles and loosen tight ones. Polarity therapy helps open the spine and joints, bringing fresh nutrition to the cells. Tai chi, qigong and yoga are great exercises that also help get your posture better and your muscles re-aligned.

To reduce inflammation, diet is key. Avoid common inflammatory foods with a lot of trans-fats, gluten, dairy, processed meats, fried foods, refined carbs or foods with a lot of sugar, additives, colorings and preservatives.

So what’s left to eat? Lots! You can still eat meats just don’t fry them or cook with fats at high temperatures.

Veggies, fruits and whole grains can reduce inflammation – so eat as many of them as you want. Instead of reaching for a bag of chips or a chocolate bar for a snack, reach for an apple or some carrots. If you think it won’t fill you up enough, then eat three apples for a snack! That will not only fill your belly, but it will nourish your cells with live antioxidants that help fight inflammation and toxins. Instead of drinking pop and coffee, drink more water than you think you need.

Water can do miracles for inflammation, pain and low energy. If you get tired in the afternoon, try drinking 1.52 litres of water in a half an hour. You’ll see your energy perk up within the hour. Another trick for people with pain is to drink distilled water. This water can help cleanse the inflammation and is easier to digest for many people.

The Water Of Existence Making Dreams Come True Raising the Children of the Earth Sitting Practice e are all born the masters of making our dreams

hen we are being given truth, we are allowed to know that the truth is existence. We are existing. The truth is the existence of ourselves and we are the water of existence.

The water is filling us up, and we are filling up the world. The water is filling us up and we fill up the world and the world is filling up the universe, so we are asked to be a good teacher and student. The teacher and student is allowed to know that it is ok to know us. The good teacher and student is allowed to know us since we are the reason we are here. We are the very reason we are here. So we are here, and now we are not.

So now it is possible that it is not a duty to be here. So no one is here when we are practicing the duty of mindfulness. We are not here. We are not even seated here. We do not sit here.

I am not seated here and no one is seated here. So now it is truth. So no one is seated here when I am meditating. I am not meditating upon the world. I am the world. So no one is seated here in the world. I am not in the world and I am meditating upon nothing. So nothing is what I am meditating upon. Then I am nothingness, so it is nothing to be in a meditation space.

Then I am nothing. So now I am just seated and I am nothing, and now I am no one. So we shall present this to you in a small teaching.

The teaching is a basic approach to mindfulness. The basic approach is that I am not allowed to be a good student and teacher of the dharma of enlightenment if I am meditating.

I am not meditating. I am just sitting. So I am sitting in the meditation. So that is what it is. It is not meditating. It is sitting practice. So we sit and then we are practicing sitting.

So we sit down and it is silent. The meditation is silent. So we are the meditation and we are the silence. So now it is open and we are opening up the path. The path is the clear mind path and we are clear mind teaching. So we are clear to you.

So now in this clear teaching we sit in meditation and do not speak. So no one is speaking. It is no speaking and no looking and no doing. So no one is doing anything. In our work we are not doing it. So no one is doing it. That is our mantra work. No one is chanting. So no one is watching. So no one is here. So no one is here and no one is here to know. So no one is knowing. So that is not knowing. That is what we do not know.

To Be Continued in Part Two of Tone in July/August issue…… Thank you for being a good teacher and student of mindfulness of the dharma of enlightenment of the White Wind of Existence Truth. We are accomplishing the practice of sitting and being. This is the Being of our lives as a student and teacher of the Way. Thank you and blessings from the Compassionate Abode.

Sonja Muller, R.N, Teacher of the Mind of One of Nirvana.

I am speaking to you in this magazine as a truth teacher of the dharma of enlightenment of the dharma of East and West. This is called the Path of the Rose in the Lotus of Life.

W

come true. Babies have no trouble manifesting all that they need in a very short time through their care givers. As young children, our miracle consciousness is absolutely intact. We utter the words and put all our faith and being behind our hopes, wishes and aspirations, building great anticipation so that we can see, touch and smell our desires before they manifests before our eyes. Children timelessly nurture this state of consciousness – they live in a different realm than adults typically do if given the opportunity for unstructured, free, creative play. They live in the flow of creation and imagination, where all ideas and dreams stream from, where everything is interconnected, and solutions emerge spontaneously. Here, wisdom, love, compassion and forgiveness are as natural as the water and air around us.

There is only NOW. What happens then as we grow up – and out of this state of mind? How do we lose touch with creation and the present moment? It could be said that our miracles are being “explained” away by science and reason at an increasingly early age. Yet, we are still in search of the great mystery of life. If we would still our busy minds, we would know that the great mystery is in a state of consciousness, to be experienced in the present moment; ours when we allow it.

“How?” one asks. “Just like the child at play,” I would say. By asking, aspiring and living the dream in all the cells of our beings, with excitement and anticipation of miracles. Since everything is interconnected, adults can serve the highest good by nurturing the consciousness of plants, animals and young children, create with wisdom, and offer hope for the world by thinking with our hearts.

Kati Gabor is a trained and experienced educator of children and adults. Her dream is to create a space where children are nurtured in the creative flow and miracle consciousness of their birthright, and where adults can regain this awareness through the healing arts and their love for the Earth. Kati can be reached at ChildrenOfTheEarth@EarthConnections.ca.

BodyTalk: How do we become ill and how do we heal?

The BodyTalk System, a consciousnessbased healing modality, describes both illness and health as arising through the way that we perceive ourselves in the universe (consciousness), which affects the health of our energy fields, followed by that of our physical bodies.

at more subtle levels before they become disease in the body and/or address disease that has already manifested in the physical body. In addition, discovering the body’s messages about the reasons why these symptoms have manifested can help us to expand future awareness in relation to our overall health and well-being.

How do we become well?

According to BodyTalk, this occurs by How do we become ill? suggesting required changes to the body’s Ongoing stress retained in the body, information field or field of consciousness emotional, mental, physical or spiritual, for integration. A BodyTalk practitioner blocks the function of our energetic helps to facilitate this process by using systems over time and encourages bio-feedback to access the body’s innate disease to manifest in the physical body. wisdom, which identifies each person’s This is clear when we experience acute unique parts or systems that require stress following the loss of a job, ending balancing.

BodyTalk is a 21st Century way of accessing our body’s wisdom, on all physical, energetic and consciousness levels. When given the right conditions, the body is able to heal itself. Inquiring with the body’s intelligence to indicate unique imbalances, enabling them to shift at the level of awareness is a revolutionary way of looking at bodymind medicine, one that enables me to witness miracles on a regular basis.

Cours e outl ine for s pirit ual dev elopment This is not a religious course, but spiritual. The difference is, in religion you participate in a group or community setting with a leader. When you develop spiritually you work individually on developing your own skills and soul. Everybody is welcome to these courses, regardless of background or religion.

You do not have to have been born with special skills or gifts. Every skill can be learned and developed at any age.

Life can be tough and painful at times, but it does not have to be. Everybody has a big support group of guides and angels. Whose only purpose is to support, guide, help and protect you. During these courses you will learn how to communicate with and harvest all their help, support and love.

We will go into the theory of how things work and then you will be guided through in practice. Do not worry, everybody can develop these skills. Skills that build strength and your faith. There is so much love and support here for you, why not learn to harvest it?

Week 1: energy and meditation. We will start the course by learning about energy; where it comes from, how to collect it, when we can use it, how we can channel it, and what we can use this energy for. Then we will be focusing on meditation, brainwaves, protection and grounding.

We will then go through the steps of meditation in detail. The rest of the evening will be spent practicing meditation and collecting and using quantum energy.

Week 2: clairvoyance (clear seeing) and claircognisance (clear knowing) Week 3: clairaudience (clear hearing) and clairsentience (clear feeling) Week 4: angels and guides Weeks 5 through 8: totem animals and power animals; chakras; auras; and healing Weeks 9 through 12: psychic vampires; muscle testing; traveling out of body; and manifestation Weeks 13 through 16: energy boost; forgiveness; passion test; and secret sites Every evening will start off with the theory about the subject then you will be given exercises and information to help develop these skills which we will put it into practice. Meditation will be practiced at every class. At the end of the class you will be given exercises to practice at home during the week which will help develop and improve that week's skill.

Courses will be held monthly building on skills month by month.

Every course cost $100 (per month) Starting Monday June 11th at 6:30 PM to 9:00 PM. Classes are held in Kanata, at 7 Cheltonia way, Heritage Hills.

INTEREST-BASED NEGOTIATION TRAINING FOR WOMEN

Are you uncomfortable negotiating?

RELATIONAL MEDIATION TRAINING FOR WOMEN

Women are natural mediators. We value relationships and connection. We like to bring out the best in people. This 15-hour course will show you how to capitalize on your own innate strengths to help those around you resolve their conflicts fairly and efficiently.

Session A Session B

I’ll never forget my first negotiation session as a lawyer, back more than 30 years ago.

Before I started to specialize in mediation, where I work with a couple together, I represented clients separately. On this particular day, I was on the phone with opposing counsel (as we call them) trying to negotiate a property settlement on behalf of my client.

The other lawyer - a man - was quite aggressive as he tried to bully me into accepting his initial offer of settlement, which I felt was unfair to my client. It seemed that the more I tried to appeal to his sense of reason and fair play, the more difficult he became. Finally, he said something that put me over the edge. “Honey, if you can’t stand the heat, get out of the kitchen. You’re not tough enough to be a lawyer.” I hung up the phone, frustrated and fuming.

Soon after that, I learned that there was another way of negotiating, different from his bullying, winner take all approach. The phrase “win-win” has become somewhat of a cliché over the years, but it really is possible for both sides to come out of a negotiation as winners. I learned that when BOTH lawyers work together to maximize the results for BOTH their clients, a kind of magic happens as the settlement package gets better and better for each person.

Instead of seeing negotiation as a “zero sum” or “fixed pie” game where anything I give you means I get less, I believe

clients are better served when everyone works together to “expand the pie.” With this approach, everyone works to create options for mutual gain, to figure out ways to make the outcome richer and more satisfying for both sides.

Questions like, “What else can I give you in this negotiation that doesn’t take anything away from me?” become important to ask of both parties. This kind of discussion focuses on each person’s different preferences and maximizes them.

What you value most as a term of settlement may be of little consequence to me, and vice versa. By taking the time to explore each person’s real interests (which includes their needs, concerns, values and beliefs), a settlement package can be constructed that gives both sides as much as possible of what they really want.

Another important question for each person to ask the other is, “What do you really need here to make this negotiation a success for you?” This question shows that each person values and respects the other person, and wants to be able to continue the relationship after the negotiation is over.

Although there are many fine male negotiators who embrace these principles, I believe women are particularly suited to this interest-based approach. Woman naturally value relationships and connectedness, and want those around them to be fine. The interest-based method of negotiation allows both parties to come out of the negotiation feeling they were each respected, that the outcome is fair and balanced for each of them, and that no one was taken advantage of. They can then continue their relationship – as co-workers, separating parents, or family members – in a way that feels good and right for each of them.

In my summer course Negotiation Training for Women Only I offer women a relaxed, fun environment in which to learn and practice the principles of interest-based negotiation.

The course includes private, one on one personal feedback in which I help each woman maximize her natural strengths and become the kind of negotiator that feels right to her. I invite you to join me on this journey.

Look After Your Health This Summer With Visceral Manipulation

S

ummer is a time of fresh foods, farmer’s markets, locally grown fruits and vegetables. It is a time of colour and succulent delectability, when it gets easier to find the motivation for looking after ourselves.

With the Main Street Farmer’s Market, the Wheat Berry and the Green Door restaurant all in the same vicinity, it’s a charm and a good fortune to one-stop shop for health foods that will increase our ability to feel good, be present and enjoy.

Happy Body Works on Main Street has the honour and great pleasure of adding to these healthy offerings, with Visceral Manipulation, hands-on treatment to improve digestion.

Visceral Manipulation was developed by French osteopath Jean-Pierre Barral, named by Time Magazine as, “one of the Top Healing Innovators to watch in the new millennium.” It is unlike other abdominal treatments in its specificity; its ability to trace the source of large scale systemic dysfunction to an exact location, and to treat it with least amount of disturbance.

The amazing implications of Barral and fellow osteopath Alain Croibier’s 30 years of clinical study are that procedures previously considered in the realm of surgery can now be replaced by manual therapy.

Following the osteopathic method for engaging the body’s own homeostatic response, rather than imposing force on the body, which would engage the body’s resistance, means that therapy is undertaken in a pain-free, relaxing way.

Aviva Cohen is a Registered Natural Health Practitioner who practices Visceral Manipulation as taught by the Barral Institute, CranioSacral, and Healing From the Core as taught by the Upledger Institute. Receipts available.

Deciphering your Birth Certificate

by Roger Léo Sabot

Did you know that your birth certificate can provide you with answers to Who am I? and Why am I here?

The process begins by converting the letters in your birth certificate name to their numerical equivalent (A=1, B=2…H=8, I=9, etc.). Vowels and consonants are then added separately, as well as together. Using arithmetic, the three totals are reduced to a single digit from 1 to 9, except when a total reveals a Master Number (11, 22, 33…99).

Who am I? & Why am I here?

Thinking Outside The Box (Part 3) Electropolution in 2012

C

anadians are perilously overexposed to electromagnetic radiation. We are under continual attack from electromagnetic fields (EMF’s) radiating from power lines, Wi-Fi towers, household wiring, microwave ovens, computers, HDTV, clock radios, cellular phones and smart meters.

Researchers have correlated electropollution with increase in cancer, birth defects, depression, learning disabilities, Alzheimer’s disease and Sudden Infant Death Syndrome.

The danger is real and with increasing use of electricity in our environment it is one of the reasons why many scientists believe some disease rates are on the rise. EMF’s are not blocked by trees, walls, buildings or other structures. Like X-Rays they pass through these objects and into our bodies, disrupting normal cellular function and biological process.

Let us decipher your birth certificate

Roger Léo Sabot Numerologist E-mail numbersknow@gmail.com to arrange for an individual or group reading. Satisfaction guaranteed.

Vowels show the level of wisdom previously attained by your soul, and provide details about your inner self—its hopes and dreams, and what motivates you.

Consonants ground us into matter, so they expose the impression we make on people and their expectations of us. Together, our inner and outer selves reveal the full expression of who we are, and what we are to do in this lifetime!

Missing numbers in your name, as well as the day, month and year of your birth, provide even more answers to Why am I here?. Doing subtraction and addition gives details about the Challenges and Opportunities you will face and when.

In numerology, numbers are understood as symbols of a living qualitative reality, not in terms of an amount—a quantity—and are interpreted using their occult or hidden meaning. This esoteric knowledge has been known for millennia and preserved in the Kabbalah and by the Freemasons, among others.

New added danger are Smart Meters that use wireless signals to transmit usage information every fifteen minutes back to the utility. Smart Meters have a transmission range of about two miles. The amount of continuous pulsed radiation from thousands of smart meters in a single neighbourhood is raising red flags among critics of EMF pollution. Warning that short-term effects from smart meters include headaches, sleep disruption, tremors, cognitive impairment, tinnitus, increased cancer risk, and heart arrhythmia. The explosion of wireless technologies is producing radio frequency radiation exposure over massive populations before questions are answered by studies about the carcinogenicity or toxicity of the radiation levels.

We have products that will keep you and your family protected in this sea of electropollution. Developed by Peter Webb who has attacked this problem for over thirty years?

Tone Magazine Gemini Newsletter 2012 Signs of the Times

T

he Celestial Twin Sun Cycle starts off with a bang with a Solar Eclipse New Moon at 00 degrees of Gemini on May 20.

Sparks will fly and opportunities wide open for all Geminis and a positive feeder line to other Air Signs, Libra and Aquarius. It is also a hallelujah chorus for Fire Signs, Aries, Leo and Sagittarius.

Retool your resume and see if it is time to put all your eggs in one basket. The Signs to pull back a bit are Water, Cancer, Scorpio and Pisces, and Earth, Taurus, Virgo and Capricorn.

Venus went retrograde on May 15 at 23 degrees of Gemini. Since Venus usually expresses love and affection, soft and gentle, warm and receptive. But when she is retrograde, there can be a reversal of her good fortune. You might feel more introspective and less expressive. Some astrologers say that when Venus goes retrograde she can make one petulant and the once adoring Venus becomes more like the goddess of war. The caution for this aspect is to lay low and don’t pout or withdraw like Garbo into your inner sanctum. A wizard told me once that everything happens for a good Godly reason--accept the challenge and show both sides of the dual nature of the sacred Gemini Twins. Venus goes direct on June 28. Relax. These 44 days might be the time for sitting in the Master Class of Cosmic Change.

There is a Lunar Eclipse Full Moon at 14 degrees of Sagittarius on June 4. It will be quite significant for Archers because this phenomenon indicates that it is time to let go of what no longer works in your world: a job change, a move across country, or the end of the line for a relationship that has run its course. Lunar Eclipses are about what is leaving your life as the Solar Eclipse points to new beginnings.

Saturn, Neptune and Pluto also continue in retrograde.

This is extremely good news for those of you who do not have the courage to change bad boy and bad girl behavior.

Which brings us to the real bellwether of this month’s column. There are no more Santa Clauses to bail you out of your financial miasma--not Church nor State nor a winning lottery ticket. What is required of you is to stop looking to someone else to make your life better. Take off the disguise of victimhood and see that you are the progenitor of the mess you wallow in. For me and my house, we do not use credit cards and we pay as we go. And being good 12-steppers we turn our will and out lives over to the care of a Power Greater than we are. And when life deals us a hand we play it--or fold. It is no sin to sit on the sidelines and watch the passing parade.

If you are interested please contact Maria Marrongelli, Oneness Trainer at onenessottawa@gmail.com or call 613-224-6473

What Happens At The Oneness Meditation?

N

o beliefs, teachings or philosophies are required or taught at the Oneness Meditation. . In fact, during this process not a single word is spoken. While in a deep state of meditation in front of the audience, the Oneness guide is filled with divine energies and a transformative blessing floods into the room. This is happening in Stockholm, Johannesburg, Beijing, New York, Auckland---and in Ottawa on June 18th.

First, you do an ancient yogic breathing practice to raise your kundalini.

Secondly, the Oneness guide closes their eyes and moves into a deep meditation. At a certain point, they slowly open their eyes and look directly at you. Simply look back.

Lots of things could happen inside of you, or maybe nothing at all. If laughter comes up, laugh. If tears come up, just cry. If anger comes up, be angry. If you aren’t feeling anything, stay with that experience. Whatever it is, stay with it. Just go through the experience.

The next Oneness course in Ottawa is July 6th (evening) 7th, 8th (all day) • For information or to register please contact Maria at onenessottawa@gmail.com or call 613.265.3433 Sometimes when these Divine energies happen, the Oneness guide tends to laugh, or giggle, or be kind of silly.

There’s not much they can do about it, because they are getting absorbed in Divine consciousness.

Eventually, the Oneness guide closes their eyes. At that point, close your eyes and move into meditation.

Time For Integration

The third step, just be in silence and connected to your Divine. Just experience whatever is going on inside of you.

Even if it’s not much, or even if it’s a big experience for you, or even if it is an uncomfortable experience, whatever it is, today is the day you’re going to stay with what’s going on.

Just relax.

On Monday, June 18, Doug Bentley, a Oneness University Guide will be in Ottawa to share Oneness Meditation. There will be two sittings for this meditation: 5:00 and 7:00pm. There is no admission charge—so all are welcome. We simply are asking for a ten-dollar love donation to cover expense.

Truth, Life Purpose & 2012

by Dorothy J. Palmer

L

ightworkers have arrived! The energy shift is palpable, with so many seeking to find their life purpose, taking every course possible, and still wondering - Why am I here? In this confusion, do you ask yourself why, in your right mind, you agreed to be born at this tumultuous time in earth’s history? Or are you waiting to see if the shoe drops in December 2012?

Will there be a doomsday for earth, as some fear? If logic prevails, as it should, we would have to ask - Why are there so many lightworkers; why the Indigos to stir up change; why the Crystal kids to bring light? To all be wiped off the face of the earth? To this, the Mayans, who hold ancient secret knowledge to this day, have spoken. Dec. 2012? Really?

Mayans say NO! Jose Huchim Herrera, a Yucatec Maya and archaeologist, said in a video that anyone talking about a 2012 catastrophe is clearly an outsider. “The Maya say nothing,” he said.

“The Maya are very peaceful. They are not worried.” Kathy Matheson, The Associated Press The indigenous prophecies tell of a coming era of peace, and as each of the White Buffalos, sacred to Native peoples, have been born, the assurance has come that mankind can be re-born into an era of peace. But first, as good housekeeping goes, a cleansing is in order in preparation.

There is no doubt that things are changing. The prophecies are being fulfilled, with widespread changes on many levels - financial, political, environmental, spiritual. These changes are also intricately connected to Mother Earth and how she is changing. We know that the magnetic north pole has already shifted drastically, and who knows where it will land. So finally, through crises, we are coming to the realization of what Native peoples the world over have known - Mother Earth is a live being, and we her children, something which Algonquin Elder William Commanda spoke so passionately about. And we are here to witness, address and assist in all these changes - through our coming together as a new people with a united purpose.

Working with the Brotherhood of Light [the ascended Masters], my ancestral Grandmothers and Spirit wisdom teachers, I now have information linking newly revealed ancient truths to today’s reality. This is indeed a time of truth, not only personally, but also for up-ending longstanding errors that have kept us from the truth of our own beings, our spirits, and Universal Truths.

What are the necessary qualities that will change your being and prepare you to be a Lightbeing? There are three qualities required of us, if we are to move into the next dimension, as ascended beings of Light. They require personal responsibility to develop, and won’t come from without. And these three qualities have already emerged in a practice from a most unlikely place.

You may be surprised to find that your life purpose is bigger than you thought. But rest assured, you signed up for this. Know that your life purpose is within you - IT IS YOU! Through a Higher Self meditation, some fun exercises insightfully looking at our lives, along with bold revelations, we can delve into the real meaning of our lives to find our true life purpose.

Join us for a workshop June 16th, from 10 am to 4 pm At the beautiful Foret Blanche centre, just north of Mayo QC. Cost for the whole day $40.

Only 75 spaces available.

The Wonder of You!

A course for women of self-care and empowerment through meditation and other self-healing processes

By Jennifer Bernius

O

nce again, I’m offering this course for women who want to learn how to be true to themselves, living a spiritfilled, purposeful life, while meeting the needs of their outer world. The course will help you learn to put yourself in the centre of your life, where you’ll rediscover your inestimable self-worth and learn to care for and love yourself as a dear friend.

Earlier this spring, three women joined me in the second Wonder of You course, eight peaceful classes of sharing, support and meditation. These women lead busy productive lives and work long hours in challenging careers. Sometimes, they feel enslaved by work, anxious and exhausted. They wondered how they could ever find the time to do what they love – to paint, to play music, to read, to follow the direction of their spirit and go within each day.

They often arrived at our classes worn out from working 10-12-hour days. But after practicing mindful breathing exercises and deep mantra meditation, they began to let go and felt more relaxed and balanced. By the end of our sessions, they were often laughing, filled with consciousness.

They began to live much of what they learned. They were amazed at how much calmer, more energized they felt when they meditated for a few moments before work and again, afterwards. They started to take better care of their health, appreciating the value of rest. Instead of feeling guilty for taking time to attend to their own needs, they found that when they gave to themselves, they had more to give to others.

Deep mantra meditation will again be the foundation of the course I’m teaching this summer. This powerful, lifechanging technique will do more to help you awaken to your value than any other process of spiritual development I know.

If practiced regularly, it relaxes your body and mind, releasing stress and worries that rob you of the joy of life.

You’ll discover a profound state of peace and wellbeing surpassing anything you imagined. As your consciousness rises, you’ll feel more vibrantly alive and aware. Your

Re-Write Your History and Create the Future You Want!

H

ave you become a victim to your past? Decided you’re unlovable, unworthy or less than because of the meaning you’ve assigned to the experiences you’ve had? Life happens, events occur – we see things, exchange words, experience feelings and then we use our interpretation of what we’ve experienced to assign meaning to it. Have you ever noticed that a number of people can participate in the same event yet each person will have their own unique experience of it?

My honey and I can watch the same movie, seeing the same scenes and hearing the same words yet sometimes we’ll react differently to some of the scenes. And often one of us will enjoy the movie more than the other did.

This is exactly what we do in our lives – we assign meaning to the events we experience, based on how we’ve interpreted it at the time. The meaning then becomes our memory of the event, having a natural influence on the flow of our lives. Our past, which remains part of us, continues to influence how we participate in creating our lives moving forward. Every time a memory is triggered in a present moment, the emotion (energy) of the meaning we’ve assigned to it naturally influences how we are creating in that moment. It becomes part of the mix.

“The only meaning that anything has is the meaning we give it.” A Course in Miracles If the meaning you’ve given your past is not supporting you in creating the life you want now – change it! Sounds easy, doesn’t it? Not always. Not when the meaning we’ve given the story is keeping us safe or feeding us power by making us feel important, right or justified. This sort of empowerment is gained through a limiting power source.

Power gets its juice from feeding off of another source of power or energy. Limiting power like thoughts have a, “I’m

better, smarter, more beautiful, more creative, more…. than they are” ring to them, giving us power while disempowering someone else. Or like “I’m not as good/smart/pretty/tall/ thin/creative… as them” which gives power to another while disempowering ourselves – perhaps to keep oneself safe.

True or real sourced power feeds off of the never ending abundant supply of potential and possibility that is freely available to all – and harms none! True power thoughts sound like “I can do this”, “I am enough”, “I am learning and growing” or “what is possible now?” Notice how the focus is on the self – self acknowledging, self accepting and self motivating. When we don’t include the ‘other’ in our meaning, we neither puff them up nor knock them down, the meaning you give is about YOU. Other people will assign their own meaning to a shared event and it will be about them. As tempting as it is to take another person’s meaning personally – it isn’t.

If reality is an illusion, what illusion do you want to create as your reality?

We can’t go back and change the ‘facts’ of the past; we need to accept the facts as they are. What we can do is go back and change the meaning or story that we’ve made up about our past. Doing so, changes the impact and influence the past is having on our lives in the present and going forward.

Changing the meaning of a past event may not necessarily eliminate the one you had previously assigned to it. We humans tend to be creatures of habit therefore reinforcing the new meaning can take time. Be kind to yourself as you work on retraining your mind to more regularly tap into potential and possibility, the source of true power when assigning meaning to life’s events.

Re-write the meaning of your past and become the hero/ heroine of your own life’s journey.

Huna Magi c

By Linda Lang

E

arlier this year, I went to Kona, Hawaii to follow my personal spiritual path. My soul had called out loud and clear, prompting me to enroll in an intensive Huna workshop… not for my clients, but for myself. Five years previously, I had my first exposure to Huna. I had found these ancient esoteric teachings very powerful, but at that time, I wasn’t ready to commit. It wasn’t time. Something changed in the Fall of 2011 and I took the leap—on many levels.

Huna is really a way of life. It teaches you empowerment, helping you understand your magnificence without detracting from another’s; to look at life as a reflection of self and take responsibility for your experience. It is often called the forerunner of modern psychology.

People take the Huna course for all sorts of reasons.

Depending on your intent, you can scratch the surface or go very deeply into your own psyche. It is an incredible opportunity to know yourself—including the strengths and the weaknesses, and to release perceptions that no longer support you.

The first night in Kona, I shared my room with a gecko.

I wasn’t bothered by it; I was much too tired to care! That night I had an incredible symbolic dream. It was long and

613-838-1271 info@thoughtchange.com

Open your mind to new possibilities detailed, and yet I remembered it so clearly. In the morning as I sat to write it out, declaring to my friend and travel partner that the workshop had begun! My dream indicated profound shifts ahead, and a few challenges. When I looked up the meaning of gecko, I learned that they inspire dreams, and in Hawaii, geckos mean good luck. I have since learned that this dream has several layers. On one level it is prophetic, and currently, I am only half way through that future projection.

Over the 9 day course, there were many opportunities for positive change, depending on how deep you wanted to go. No wonder some people become “Hunatics,” as they lovingly call themselves. These people that “live” Huna have such clear energy fields and are so congruent and centered.

They have incredible humility, acceptance and openness, so confident within themselves. They live the deeper teaching of Aloha. This is not to say that “stuff” doesn’t happen to those who practice Huna—they just have a different way of looking at things, and perhaps more tools to recreate their reality. In Huna, it is a blessing when your “stuff” comes up, because it provides an opportunity to heal.

This course was one of incredible personal growth. Not only have I come home with many new tools for myself, but my clients also benefit. These techniques work very well with my other tools and give me a very broad spectrum with which to work. They include energy techniques to break up negative emotions & thought patterns, to bring in more light, and to assist in understanding the underlying cause and hidden wisdom; working directly with elemental energy & the higher self - and so much more…

Linda Lang, is a transformational therapist, using her skill as an empath and a variety of e-psychology techniques, including Huna, EFT, Body Code, and Body Talk to release issues and initiate change. Sessions available in person or by phone.

Mining the Gold in the Third Stage of Life

W

e enter “new turnings” regularly as we move through our lives. At each turning, we change how we feel about ourselves, our community and the future. Between 50 and 60, we arrive at one of these turnings, when life offers us one of our last opportunities to evaluate and to transform who we are.

There is a new urgency at this time, as we have, at best, another 20 to 30 years before we become either physically and/or mentally unable to live the quality of life that we want. Before it is too late, now is the time to excavate our lives, to see the journey taken so far, to give ending to what needs to be completed, as well as to originate what needs to begin, to access our deepest gifts and to reclaim what we have set aside, so that we may make the most of this third stage of life.

As we live busy lives, many of us do not take the time that is necessary to be present to this turning, or transition. We continue living, pushing forward and take life as it comes.

We often just touch the surface of what is happening within

Professional Boundaries Basics for Energy Workers An overview by Jen Jones

M

any Energy Workers are not affiliated with any organized ’governing body’ and may not be educated in ethics or Professional Boundaries. Here are a few basics: Physical boundaries must be respected by asking permission before touching the client. Most practitioners know this.

Psychic boundaries need to be considered because this is still ‘touching’ the client. The practitioner is considerate and asks permission before ‘tuning in’ to the field of the person. To do otherwise is invasive. I have noticed many practitioners do not think of how the person they are reading may be affected by this common malpractice. Have you ever experienced someone that tells you your aura or some information about you health when you have not given permission and of course it is usually at a social gathering? This crosses a very intimate personal boundary, as well as breaking the trust of confidentiality! A lot of practitioners don’t think about this and blurt things out.

Sexual boundaries are healthy when the role of the practitioner is not confused with their healing role. Usually the client role is a position of vulnerability. It is the responsibility of the practitioner to understand and communicate this to

their client when there is a ’conflict of interest’ and refer them to a neutral practitioner. It is most important to not confuse the role of clinician with a romantic role.

Emotional boundaries are respected when confidentiality is adhered to at all times. The practitioner does not give the names or identifying information of other clients.

The practitioner does not communicate in public or to another person that the client was even using their services unless their client reveals the information first.

The practitioner does not then reveal any additional information to anyone.

For example, if the client is seen in the grocery store the practitioner does not initiate conversation nor engage in conversation that acknowledges the helping role or that the client has sought or received help from them.

Professional ethics are discussed in the Spiritpainting Practitioner workshop, which Jen conducts. She is a Clinical Supervisor and has been an Addiction Trauma Counsellor for individuals and groups for 20 years.

is what it is, beyond the reach of concepts and understanding.

Getting out of our heads and into our bodies gives us the chance to engage with real life directly. Because of this, movement practice is a very useful activity.

Understand by letting it be. Understand yourself by letting yourself be. Be momentary and wholehearted in your action: that is life understanding itself.

In my first training session with him, I addressed my brush master about an improvisational piece I had just completed. Other than the finest wisp of ink from one or two hairs of the brush, the paper was completely blank. I asked my master if I could use the page again, and he said “Yes, that’s okay; but this is already complete.” This hit my mind deeply. If this brushwork was complete, then everything was complete — the trees, the Taeji is a certified 5Rhythms® teacher, I Ching practitioner, mountains, the sky, all birds and animals… and even I was and expert at charades.

What Stops People Achieving The Success They Desire?

by Karen Osborne www.ascensionhealing.ca | 613.798.2828 karen@ascensionhealing.ca

I

f setting clear goals is vitally important for us to achieve a successful and fulfilling future… why do so many people fail to do it? Why are there so many people allowing the flow of life to pull them in all directions?

1) Holding on to Limiting Beliefs The first thing that holds a great many people back from setting realistic goals are their limiting beliefs. Many people seem only to dream about what they’d love to have or achieve.

When it comes to committing to a specific target and plan, they don’t even try. Something inside them says ‘there’s no way’ or ‘I’ll never succeed’. They end up feeling that it’s too difficult to do or they simply don’t have what it takes.

This kind of thinking is nothing but limiting beliefs. Unless we get past these generalizations about ourselves, we will never dare to design goals that drive us to the next level.

2) Not Knowing What They Want ‘But... I don’t know what I want!’ This is probably one of the most common responses I hear. I bet if I gave these people a magic wand and told them that they would be granted anything they wished for, they will start making up a whole list of things real quick!

It’s not that people don’t know what they want. What’s happened is that most people have stopped daring to dream.

I believe that as children, all of us had fantasies and dreams of what we wanted to have, create and be when we grew up.

However, as we went through life, we meet with failures and disappointments and as a result, our rational, critical mind has forbidden us to continue day dreaming anymore.

Whenever we get excited about something, our internal voice will rush in to tell us, ‘it can’t be done’ ‘you cannot do that’ ‘ that’s impossible.’ ‘grow up, get real’. (It could even be an echo of our parents’ or teachers’ voices). As a result, this blocks our creative juices and deflate our passion - the very elements we need to create and design the life we truly want.

We need to learn how to unlock our imagination and set our creative minds FREE....free of fear and blocks so we can dream clearly and with growing excitement of what we truly want out of life.

3) Having a Fear of Failure It is often fear of failure, fear of rejection and plain old embarrassment that paralyses most people from even starting out. Many people get so caught in the ‘frozen’ feeling that comes with fear that they do not even try taking the first step in achieving that ideal business/career or weight loss goal or whatever they would really like to create in their lives… They believe that it is better not to have expectations so they cannot let themselves down.

Does this mean that people who keep setting goals do not fear failure? I don’t believe so. I think everyone hates and fears the feeling of failure, including myself. What then gives

66

Aquamarine them the courage to set high goals and go for it? It is how we define failure to ourselves. The only one who can tell us that we failed and make us feel bad is... ourselves.

However, this is how we often shoot ourselves in the foot.

The moment we do not achieve what we want, even on our first attempt, we tell ourselves we have failed, and feel really bad.

This pain is what prevents us - and this goes for the majority of people - from daring to try for high stakes, to taking risks.

4) Addiction to the Cushy Option Most people avoid risk because they are addicted to a certain way of life: a soft and cushy life with habits and material comforts they refuse to change or risk losing. Unless that comfy life-style is imminently under threat, they won’t do anything that calls for iron will and discipline.

Setting goals and really going for our goals often means changing habits, sacrificing time spent hanging out with friends. This is why people make half-hearted attempts. As soon as their new path impinges on their old habits, they withdraw...its too hard.

There are no short-cuts to success in any area - business/ career, health or personal relationships. So, be prepared to make what appears to be ‘sacrifices’ and, if you do, the rewards are there. A definition of sacrifice that I love… is doing something that you’ve never done before in order to get the results you’ve never gotten before!

Overcoming YOUR blocks to success is the subject of my upcoming workshops – please be sure and call or email me for details.

am working with Aquamarine myself right now. I have been for the past couple of months. I chose this beautiful blue member of the Beryl family specifically because I know it can be of great help in overcoming judgment. I want to stop judging, even if I am doing it in only in the subtlest of ways.

I know how freeing it can be to release the need to judge and I believe that it is judgment, along with fear and karma that holds us back most in life.

Letting go of judgment takes courage, which is another attribute of Aquamarine. It takes courage to let go of judgment because what we are really letting go of is, the need to be right. Moving beyond ‘right and wrong’ means death for the ego and liberation for the heart. Courage is required because the process involves moving beyond your current identity or, what is known about yourself and what you believe.

When we stand in judgment we are standing on most unstable ground. Judgment creates division and weakness as it reinforces the illusion of separation. What really matters is that we find a way to be true to ourselves that does not involve judging. This way we respect the differences in others while at the same time earning our own self-respect. Judgment is simply a distraction and it deters us from expressing the true essence of who we are. Aquamarine can help us with that too. It encourages self-expression, clear communication.

Aquamarine is also one of the stones that facilitate hearing the whispers of Spirit when they come through. It encourages us to trust our intuition so that we may act on it.

Known as a stone of ‘letting go,’ Aquamarine is a great aid to releasing emotional patterns, behaviors, and beliefs that are not serving to improve the quality of our lives. It is particularly helpful with getting free of the notion that we are un-deserving. How can we manifest health, financial freedom and fulfilling relationships and careers if we somehow feel we are not worth it? This is often an underlying core belief that prevents us from finding tolerance for ourselves and for others (there’s the judgment thing again). When we do, we liberate space in our hearts to create a life of beauty and truth.

Aquamarine helps us to let go of the old and to find closure with the past. It radiates calming, cooling energies. It cleanses us of the need for conflict and drama and can even quiet overreactions of the nervous and immune systems. It’s one of the best stones for releasing anger and stress. It is a great aid to the throat and throat chakra as well as the eyes, skin, the pituitary and thyroid.

I have been pairing Aquamarine paired with Sunstone and Kunzite ~ Sunstone for it’s optimism and leadership qualities, and Kunzite for frequencies of Divine love and compassion.

n the last month I have noticed a major shift in my life.

I had chosen to allow the Universe to take care of any worries and amazingly enough – I haven’t had anything to worry about!

I recently read a book written by Wayne Dyer called Wishes Fulfilled and decided to follow his guidance to see if his program would really work. I’m a bit of a skeptic and really have to try things out myself before believing everything I read or hear. So, within two days of putting this into practice my life began to flow with so many synchronicities. I would begin to work on something that I haven’t looked at in years and I’d receive a call or someone would bring me exactly what I needed to complete it.

One of my affirmations is to lose weight, be fit and healthy.

I was visiting a friend to whom I never mentioned my affirmation and out of the blue she said I have something that you should watch. She handed me several DVDs about being a raw vegan. Believe me, I wasn’t thrilled about having to watch them, let alone quickly and with a report. The next day when I was at my cottage I realized that I didn’t have any TV reception. So, with time on my hands I started to watch her DVDs. Something clicked. It’s only been four weeks now and I’m thinner than I have been for years and I feel healthier!

In April I took a Chakra workshop in Sedona with my sister. After the course we went shopping and just as we were heading back to the car I noticed a little Zen gem store that we had somehow missed. We quickly ran in before it closed. I was looking at the myriad of healing stones they had in boxes and on the shelves when I heard the store clerk ask if I’d like to have my aura read. I didn’t look up immediately as I was engrossed in looking at a beautiful heart- shaped tiger’s eye stone. She repeated and said a little louder “the operative word is free”. Not one to pass up a deal, I said “Sure”. She had me place my hands on a laptop-like computer, close my eyes, take a deep breath and relax. Within seconds she had my aura on the screen in front of me. It was a beautiful green with a small area of blue. She explained that I was a healer and because it was so much of one colour I should choose a stone that would balance my energy. I then showed her the stone I chose – she said it was perfect.

Then my sister tried it. From the back of the shop I vaguely heard my sister explaining that we were sisters. I looked at the screen and it was almost identical to my aura reading.

The clerk said that she’d never seen two auras that were so similar and that it is especially rare because we were sisters.

I believe that the reason they were so similar was because we had received a total chakra balancing at the course. We were both beautifully balanced and our hearts were wide open. When our heart is open it allows the Universe to assist us more easily.

By being grateful our true desires are more easily attained.

feels she is the manager for the whole family, she probably feels stressed rather than understanding that this is a female power that can be used.

In a same sex relationship, these old programs are often multiplied as each partner struggles to carve their part of the emotional dynamic and feel self-worth.

Since the lines are blurry in all relationships these days, test giving both to your partner.

An example of a validation test: Every day tell your partner, “I know you work hard at your job because you’re taking care of us. I really appreciate you for doing that.”

An example of a contribution test: Every day bring home a small gift, as simple as a cookie or a dollar store item. Tell your partner, “You matter to me. This little thing is to show you that you matter to me today.”

This is a challenging exercise, because it’s just as unusual for you to be the validator/contributor as it is for them to receive the validation/contribution. If the idea is uncomfortable, you have a strong need for validation/contribution. Giving will help you heal, so you can receive. Using the Unlock meditation will help your transition.

ack in the cave, the female owned the fire. Back in the cave, a male would take his trusty spear and go fetch dinner or fight off predators. Everyone understood their roles, and their contribution to survival. Life was pretty simple.

Modern life is complicated. Modern predators want to steal your credit identity or your car. A spear probably won’t help, especially if a carjacker has a gun. People have lost awareness of the power of female energy to grant belonging, causing skyrocketing divorce rates and infidelity.

The dynamics of belonging are independent of physical plumbing. A man can be nurturing. A woman can wield a spear. In a healthy same-sex couple partners will naturally fall into the male and female energy roles that suit their personalities. In a heterosexual couple it is just as important for partners to contribute male or female energy in ways that suit their personalities, rather than their plumbing.
