...and
the Waters of the World rose up
forming the Dove of Peace and Transformation

the pattern of the wet white spray
created Wings of Action
so we might fly safely and with haste,
as the Love of the Dove engulfed our spirits ...
gently emblazoning Joy and Compassion
within every cell of our crystalline selves
and the Power of Sweet Loving Kindness
that has ALLways been our true nature
RETURNED
Thus the Golden Love of the Dove Ruled — as is its Destiny
and the Bells of the Temples sang in celebration!

Welcome to 2004 —Let it BE perfect!

Such an energetic peace...such a calm rises up out of the ashes of the old year! It is hard to imagine another year has simply flown away - in the speed of light...like a fire in the wind... but although there is some uncertainty as we wonder how time disappeared ...there is a solid truth and knowingness when we say we wish you the Best Year EVER as 2004 opens up a new pathway for the good of all.

So many things contributed to this new year but paramount on many of your minds was the November Harmonic Concordance event around the world. And here in humble little Nanaimo, an energetic presence was set for the world...people came together as one, amazing shifts in time and space occurred and nature itself showed facets of herself that were extraordinary.

Our front cover and center pages show facets of that magic... the sunrise at the Nanaimo waterfront on Nov 8th, 2003. Many witnessed the sun AND the moon both in the sky at the same time that day- perfectly balanced east and west...and the sun then literally radiated the star...the 6 pointed star of David. The photo shows it (hopefully we’ll get a crisp print job) but you can see the six points. This cover is NOT a digitally altered photo. Actually neither is the one in the center - although it is two photos cut and pasted together. The temple pipes and the paper dove are symbolic of the LOVE that was created, joined with another shot of the sunrise. But the individual outdoor shot was not altered except to merge it with the inside shot. The star shows clearly in both photos - so it was not an accident the first time. If you want to understand the significance of the saying on the centerfold “Shine From The Inside Out” read page 22.

The Concordance was a catalyst for major energetic moving and shifting that continues to go on and WILL be a moving force during the New Year. There have been other quick energetic gatherings since then and truly BE prepared for that phenomena to increase as we speed ahead. Foundational builders of a new way of living! Living from a Conscious place of Oneness —from the Loving Heart of the Dove...

As for me, a moment during our 7 day event, seemed like a good time to shed a little old energy of my own. So out came a friend’s scissors and OFF went my longish locks. Hence I give in to the request for a new photo, as some people do not recognise me these days. Hee Hee, it is amazing what a little shedding of old energy can do. I confess I instantly felt very ‘exposed’ and yet brilliantly light at the same time...a bit like cleaning out the cupboards and closets for the New Year. I believe our hair can hold old patterns, irregardless of how often we wash it - so for me the snip was a refreshing one. I also believe the ritual of eliminating some of our accumulated ‘STUFF’ can assist us greatly in starting a fresh year. I confess I have never been much for making “resolutions”, but making room for greater good has always been high on my list at this time of year.

One of the greatest blessings and challenges of the old and new, merging together again, is the returning of our Families of Rememberance. Such joy on one hand and such mystery on another, as we physically meet Ancient friends. But our names and bodies don’t always seem to match—our physical ages often ‘appear’ to be out of balance, as do the origins of our births...and yet, everything feels SO right. We need to remember that it is through the energetic windows of our soul (the eyes) not our minds, that we will see and greet our fellow travellers now. The loving heartbeat of the triad (of Mother Earth, the High Universe and your Own dearly beloved Heart) will reintroduce your family to you. So get ready- for if you are willing, this year will mark such an expansion - such outrageous good when we focus on simply BEing ourselves. No need for fanfare—simply BEing LOVE. This is the vehicle that will teach us to fly.

The runway is clear and so are we. May you find an array of helpful articles and ideas in this issue to inspire your wings to joyfully unfold!

It Doesn’t Take Much
to hold the tiny weight
of a song sparrow,
any little twig will do,
or a sturdy weed in a field.

Why do I think my fledgling ideas
have to wait for a thick branch
or a secure landing place
before I set them down?

The wisp of a fleeting dream
can rest for awhile
on a small extension in my soul.

If I never let these dreams land,
they will not gain strength
for the long flight into fullness.

From the book Rest Your Dream On A Little Twig by Joyce Rupp and illustrated by Barbara Loomis

2003 was an amazing year of powerful change. We look forward now to even greater opportunities to embrace love and peace within ourselves and upon this planet.

The holidays were our reminder of the power of love that ever resides within us each moment. We celebrated and gave to one another in good spirit sharing the common theme of unconditional love. We empowered ourselves to go beyond our normal limitations.

NOW we find ourselves at a crossroad upon this beautiful earth. We are realizing that this way of love desires to express itself all through the year and not be contained or limited by time, borders, or worn out structures and old ideas.

Moving from a fear-based reality into one of love is not always easy. Forgiveness and compassion are some of the most difficult qualities to undertake especially when we are conditioned to the notion of separation, doubt and fear.

This process begins with forgiveness and compassion to our own self. Without this first step of personal acceptance, it is virtually impossible to understand and accept another. For what we have within, we give out. What we give out, we get back in full measure.

Where we have love in our heart, we are able to spread love to all those around us. When we ignore this power, we engage fear and allow it to rule our actions. The choice is always ours as to which experience we desire.

So as we journey through the next few weeks, we can keep our awareness that this process happens every moment of every day and is not relegated to just a few days a year. Open up to goodness and you will experience goodness. See, know, and share love and you will experience its grace in your life. Stay in the now of your life and be filled with the joy of the moment.

The Love Foundation is delighted to announce we are sponsoring the First Annual Global Love Day on May 1, 2004. This year’s theme is "Love Begins with Me."

We are one humanity on this planet.
All life is interconnected and interdependent.
All share in the Universal bond of love.
Love begins with self acceptance and forgiveness.
With tolerance and compassion we embrace diversity.
Together we make a difference through love.
GLOBAL LOVE DAY - Be a part of it. Spread the Word

For information on how to get involved go to www.thelovefoundation.com as we focus on love, forgiveness, tolerance and unity in our homes, offices, and communities.

This is a variation of a popular email for those who choose not to use that system. When you see this, say a prayer for someone. That’s all you have to do. This is so powerful... There are no costs, but wonderful rewards. Let’s start praying for one another .. make up your own or use this one.

Praying for a friend will bless you both. Praying for someone not considered a friend is something Christ would do.

A Brand New Year. Time to lose weight, eat healthy, take a course, write that book, become more forgiving and so on. We either make a list of resolutions a mile long, or we dismiss the whole thing as a guilt producing exercise not worth considering. Yet, most of us still have that “innate” desire to improve ourselves, while experiencing the frustration that in spite of our best efforts some things don’t seem to get any better. No matter our good intentions, it’s the ‘same old me’ that we carry into each New Year.

Today women are demanding truthful answers and solutions for their hormone problems. There is a growing interest in becoming informed about important issues including breast & uterine cancer, endometriosis, polycystic ovarian syndrome, osteoporosis, polycystic breasts, PMS, fibroids and depression, which can all be related to hormone imbalances. These imbalances often create havoc in the lives of women as well as in the lives of their loved ones.

Although “hormones” have tended to be the catalyst for many ‘inside’ jokes about ‘the women’ in the family, men also need to be aware of the possible consequences of hormonal imbalances. In their case, urinary problems due to prostate enlargement, low libido, osteoporosis, fatigue, and depression are not uncommon.

When it comes to ‘fixing’ problems such as these, we can always seek conventional therapies such as the use of medication, radiation, chemotherapy or surgery. However, it is not necessary to let it go to that extent. Hormonal balance for both men and women can be achieved naturally by taking relatively easy steps.

What causes Hormone Imbalances and how do you fix them? A number of factors appear to be responsible:
1. Environmental toxins that have estrogen-like properties are found abundantly in the air we breathe and in our water and food supplies. These xeno-estrogens accumulate in our body over time and cause hormonal imbalances.
2. A sedentary lifestyle, exposure to chemicals, smoking, using drugs, or overindulging in alcohol.
3. Poor liver and poor bowel function.
4. Stress: physical, emotional or mental.
5. Nutritional deficiencies.

The first step before starting any hormone-balancing program would be to get your hormone levels tested using a saliva test. From the results of this test, you discover what you need to ‘fix’. For most of us, lowering estrogen and increasing progesterone is key. A good nutritional and supplementation program gives excellent results in relieving and even eliminating symptoms. The recommendations we make to women to balance hormones are very similar to the ones we make to men. The root cause or metabolic imbalance is the same.

Let’s use the prostate as an example. As laid out by Dr. Myron I. Murdock, a prostate cancer prevention program includes the following steps:
1. Reducing saturated fat.
2. Eating vegetables and tomatoes.
3. Using selenium daily.
4. Taking Vitamins C and E.
5. Exercising regularly.
6. Eating plenty of fibre (30-50 grams).
7. Eating cold-water fish such as salmon, sardines, mackerel or herring.
8. Sipping green tea.
9. Drinking more, good quality water.
10. Enjoying the outdoors for fresh air and early sunlight.
11. Reducing exposure to hormone disruptive chemicals.
12. Quitting smoking.

A 5-step program for maintaining hormone health provides positive hope because when men and women’s hormones are out of balance they feel unwell. These are important times to be well informed and thus be in a better position to make knowledgeable choices toward improving hormone health. The power of education points to the fact that we do not have to do drugs for the rest of our lives to create precious balance. There are important issues to be addressed, such as:
• Are mammograms safe and are they the best means of detection of breast tumours?
• Are all hysterectomies really necessary?
• How safe is the Birth Control Pill for women?

Simple strategies can help to restore balance to hormones thus preventing hormone-related cancers like breast cancer. In his book “What Your Doctor May Not Tell You About Breast Cancer” Dr. Lee states that almost all risk factors associated with breast cancer are directly or indirectly related to excess estrogen or estrogen that isn’t balanced with progesterone. Estrogen dominance is an unrecognized risk factor for breast cancer despite being highly prevalent in women today. That is also true about prostate cancer in men.

There was a time where every woman 50 and older was put on ERT (estrogen) or HRT (estrogen & progestin) without measuring hormones levels to see if hormone therapy was actually needed, and without regard to symptoms. If a woman returned complaining of weight gain, insomnia, anxiety and depression she was automatically put on antidepressants, and other drugs. This kind of therapy is harmful and hormones remain out of balance. Thanks to the results of new studies, the use of conventional HRT is decreasing.

Women living in industrialized countries also suffer from higher hormone levels as they are exposed to more xenohormones from pollution, hazardous waste sites and groundwater contamination increasing their risk for breast cancer. While factors such as these are not easily controllable, diet and lifestyle changes are very much under our control. A poor diet, high caloric intake, and a sedentary lifestyle create many imbalances including hormonal imbalances and can also lead to obesity which also increases a woman’s risk for breast cancer as fat cells produce estrogen. It is very likely that many people suffer from estrogen dominance, and the heavier we are, the more estrogen we make.

Jackie Harvey, a radio talk show host and a long time student of Dr. John Lee, believes many women and men are not living up to their full potential because of hormone health concerns that plague their lives. She now dedicates a major portion of her life to helping people of all ages create lifestyle changes and take control and responsibility for their own hormone health. She empowers the “You Can Do It!” mantra within, along with the wisdom that simply saying “You Can Do It!” is not enough. The physical effect of hormone imbalance is very real and demands active attention.

The new year is often considered to be a time for making resolutions and miraculous differences in our lives. The pressure of that thought is sometimes overwhelming, especially if your hormones are off balance. The best approach is to gently acknowledge you are ready for change and to remember that miracles are often generated one step at a time! Better health can begin with a combination of education and effort, and this lays the foundation for a whole, happy and healthy body. Attitude IS the starting point, but ACTION is required to make any new plan work. Learning to integrate the two in a balanced manner creates a key to successfully changing your life.

First, I’ll need to explain what Law of Attraction is and how it works. You see, the Law of Attraction states that you’ll attract to your life whatever you give your attention, energy and focus to, whether wanted or unwanted - emphasis on the unwanted. The “vibes” that you put out (also called vibrations) are either negative vibes or positive vibes, and at every moment, the Law of Attraction is responding to the vibes you are offering by giving you more of the same, whether wanted or unwanted.

If you are curious about what it is that you are offering vibrationally in any area of your life, you simply need to take a look at that area and see what you’re getting… it’s a perfect match. Mentally take a brief inventory of different relationships that you have in your life. For some people, there is a mixture of the kinds of people they have in their lives, some who support and uplift them, and others who are negative. So why do you attract negative people?

In both of these cases, you’re already experiencing the Law of Attraction. As you enjoy and appreciate certain people in your life, in that moment, you are offering positive vibrations. The Law of Attraction is unfolding and orchestrating whatever needs to happen to bring you more of the same. And as you notice and pay attention to the negative people in your life and the things that irritate you about them, you’ll see the Law of Attraction unfold to bring you more of the same. By shifting your focus and attention to what you do want, then you’ll change the results accordingly.

Want to know how to attract your ideal mate? Build a list of all the things you didn’t like about your current or last mate/partner. This list, we’ll call “contrast”, will help you understand. For example, if your list of negative things about ‘past mates’ include someone that doesn’t take you to dinner, spend time with you, doesn’t uplift you, or spends too much time away travelling, now you’ll be able to see why you’re attracting this. Your list makes it clear, remembering that whatever you place your attention to you’ll get more of it.

The Law of Attraction can only bring to you what you give your attention, energy and focus to, so change what you’re focusing your attention to by asking yourself, “What do I want”? When you catch yourself thinking or saying what you don’t want, in that very moment, state what you do want. The words and the vibration will change. Remember, you can only hold one vibration at a time, so make it a good one!

In the example above, if we were to ask, “What do you want?” after each of those negative statements, our new list would bring us clarity about our ideal mate and would sound like, “My ideal mate takes me to dinner often, spends ample time with me, uplifts me, and spends much time at our home.” Can you feel the difference? It’s this feeling, or “vibe” that the Law of Attraction is responding to. Make sense? Go ahead and try it. Shift your attention to what you do want and know in that moment that the Law of Attraction is responding to your vibration. The results will astonish you.

The role of aroma is a powerful yet often ignored part of our lives. What widow has not been surprised by an intense emotional rush on detecting her deceased husband’s aftershave? Who has not felt the strong reflex to jump into action when smelling the distinctive odour of natural gas? We can harness the power of aroma and its strong emotional and physical responses to train or retrain our behaviour. Because aromas go directly to the brain (unlike other senses, which pass through an interpretive process first), aromas can easily and instantly research and retrieve extremely powerful emotional responses from a library of emotions and memories that are mostly unconscious.

Actively using your powerful imagination with aromas can anchor positive behaviours into the unconscious library of your unconscious mind and allow them to be retrieved throughout life. Who knows how many negative behaviours have been inadvertently placed there through childhood experiences, highly emotional experiences and strong deliberate advertising indoctrination?

You can retrain oral dependencies (tobacco, snacking on the wrong things, coffee, alcohol) learned early in life. These negative oral dependencies can have an unconscious calming effect on a deeper problem often anchored in your unconscious mind early in life—fear of not having enough to eat, lack of affection, etc.

Drug dependencies usually require intensive therapy beyond the scope of the in-home self-help of aromatic behavioural training, but aroma can make a significant contribution to whatever professional therapy you may be practising. There are also various phobias and bad habits that can imprison us and keep us from maximizing our potential.

You can overcome self-defeating behaviours through aromatic behavioural conditioning. A group in Alaska recently had succeeded in losing collectively an enormous amount of weight. What they did, you may be surprised to learn was the Neuromatic Behavioural Conditioning, by faithfully using the citrus oil. Aromatic Behavioural Conditioning uses your imagination to anchor a pleasurable aroma to strong positive emotions in a relaxed environment. Many people ignore the more profound aroma part that can change their behaviours toward all foods in a powerful way.

Here’s how to use the same principle in overcoming other self-defeating behaviours. Start by identifying as much as possible the origin of your problem. You may want to visit with parents, family members, or a trusted friend to help you explore the cause. It may help to do this in a relaxed atmosphere—try diffusing pleasurable aromas, listening to calming music, meditating, writing, etc. Professional therapy may also help you get to the root of the problem.

Step 1: Find a positive substitute. Once you have identified the origin (the need for a calming oral gratification for example), develop a positive substitute such as snacking on something delicious and healthy like Pulse or going for a walk. www.pulseparty.com/126996

Step 2: Select an anchoring aroma. Choose an intensely pleasurable aroma to associate with your new behaviour. Pick one you would enjoy having around often and, if possible, one you would associate with the freedom of overcoming your self-defeating behaviour.

Step 3: Anchor them together using your imagination. Spend about 20 minutes using your imagination to write or express strongly to yourself the positive new feelings, desires, or habits associated with freedom from your bad habit. You can use the Neuromatic Behavioural Conditioning Video as a guide for the kinds of things you would think about and say to yourself. Do this while enjoying the aroma. It helps to do this in a relaxed location with relaxing music and healthy, delicious snacks and water. You may want to do this several times to properly anchor your feelings. Don’t skip this step. You can write or find positive affirmations about overcoming your habit that you can memorize and use again and again while experiencing your aroma. An affirmation like, “Every day, in every way I am becoming better and better at…” will help you deepen your resolves. One friend told me how amazed she was at how quickly this simple affirmation anchored her new habits.

Step 4: Use the aroma especially when you’re successful. In times of victory diffuse the aroma, put a drop in a tissue, or carry it in a small vial and bring it out to smell as you think about how well you are doing. Use the oil to enhance the enjoyment of the positive substitute. For example, if your substitute behaviour is going for a walk, wear the aroma while you’re walking and say over and over something like this, “Nothing can possibly feel as good as being fit.” Step 5: Use the aroma as a treat. Don Tolman calls the citrus oil in Daniel’s Challenge his “flashback brain snack.” Without resorting to willpower alone, carry the aroma with you and substitute it as a “treat” whenever you feel the need. The treat will help you experience in your imagination how wonderful freedom feels.

How to stop smoking using aromatic behavioural conditioning - You can use these five steps to help you overcome the habit of smoking, which can be one of the most difficult addictions to break.

Test these oils and choose the one that is most pleasing to you—Eucalyptus radiata, peppermint, balsam fir, Résiste, and Breathe. These blends are also most effective at restoring the respiratory system to good health. You can also try Relaxe, Memory, or Reflex for the pure enjoyment of these wonderful aromas. You want to anchor your freedom from smoking with an aroma that is pleasurable to you.

I have found Eucalyptus radiata to be the most effective aroma at helping my patients overcome smoking addictions. They find their greatest success taking the oil internally with a toothpick or a trace on the tongue whenever they are tempted to smoke. The taste of eucalyptus appears to make the taste of smoking more repulsive, it clears the lungs and the breath. If the aroma is somewhat unpleasant at first, persist for awhile and it will become delicious to you. It can be properly anchored with eucalyptus baths using Hygiean Spa, and diffusing eucalyptus from time to time. Don’t overdo it, however. You want the oil to remain pleasant to you. As you become free from your tobacco, your senses of smell and taste will come alive, and eucalyptus may become one of your favorite aromas because of the freedom associated with it.

I have seen all kinds of phobias and drug addictions including alcoholism overcome in a remarkable way using essential oils. There has been excellent research presented at the Grasse Symposium on this procedure. Don’t attempt to overcome serious drug addictions and phobias by yourself. Get professional help, but supplement your therapies with aromatic behavioural conditioning. It works!

Dr. Daniel Pénoël is a world leading expert in essential oils based in France. Pénoël says “anyone can make an oil blend, but who can make a symphony?” His oils are distributed through Brain Garden. Call Marian Roper 1-866-414-3573

In ancient times a SAGE was a messenger, delivering profound truths to an individual or a collective group.

JANUARY: By expanding your own limiting beliefs you act as a transducer, transforming the collective dreamfield into the emerging reality. Simply clear & expand with LOVE!

FEBRUARY: Sense your essence¹s presence guiding you moment by moment. Let go of trying to figure it out. This is the path of innocence regained. TRUST is your key!

MARCH: When you become more harmonious within, you sense dissonance in previously harmonious areas. Allow dissonance to be part of harmony, creating change & growth!

APRIL: Allow yourself to be played by the hands of the Divine. Know that you are an instrument of empathic love, resonating naturally with all of creation!

MAY: Allow the magic within you to awaken melodies of heartfelt truths. These heart-knowings connect you with other times/places which may be forgotten!

JUNE: Allow your expansion to include nothingness. An open system cleared is empty & ready to receive, trusting the next step to limitless bliss!

JULY: You have reached a place where you are asked to be rather than try to be. A simple shift in perception creates completion of thought to an open heart!

AUGUST: Break through illusions; beliefs, judgments & limitations ‘shadowing’ light. Fully accept & address all aspects of self. The reward is deeper intimacy, love & self acceptance!

SEPTEMBER: Remain an open system making room for expanded realities. By being a ‘conscious journeyer’ it allows you to move into unchartered territories where a marvelous ‘reordering’ of your world awaits!

OCTOBER: Align your intentions with your essence, creating an ‘etheric energy matrix’. Make this your only focus for now. Manifestation is then a natural outcome!

NOVEMBER: Believe in yourself and your visions! By doing so, you are assisting to create the new reality; the embodiment of Heaven on Earth!

DECEMBER: Be open to new beginnings & relationships, meeting those of like-mind. You will know them by your natural vibrational attraction. It may surprise you who they are!

Eyewitnesses say they appear in a matter of seconds. Some say between the hours of 2:00 and 4:00 a.m. they have seen enormous balls of brilliant colour projecting a beam of golden light into a field, and the next morning there it is in all its grandeur. What are they talking about? Crop circles.

Crop circles are not a recent phenomenon. You can find record of them in academic books dating as far back as the late 1600’s, but no one took them seriously until 1980 when many were appearing in southern England. First there were just simple circles, some with rings. But within a few years, a new breed of crop circles creating pictograms began to appear. Some of these were much like the petroglyphs found at sacred sites throughout the world.

Then, around 1990, the designs of the circles became more elaborate and complex. Since then, their size has also multiplied with some in excess of 200,000 square feet. The frequency of their appearance has greatly increased and as of 2003, more than 10,000 crop circles worldwide have been reported and documented, some right here in BC. Are they a man-made hoax, or do they contain important information, “sacred geometry”, from a source far greater than any mere human?

A few years back, two men named Doug and Dave claimed to have made all the crop circles prior to 1992, by using planks of wood, garden rollers and string. You may recall a television documentary supporting this claim in an effort to “debunk” the growing public interest. If you’re not familiar with this term, debunking became popular during the Cold War when the government, with the help of the media, tried to control mass opinion by releasing only what information they wanted the public to hear. They would provide very little factual data, in combination with making fun of the subject, thereby making people feel that they would be crazy to believe in it. The topic of crop circles was similarly treated.

However, in the case of Doug and Dave, no one was able to explain how they had created the unusual formations found in the more complex circles. They later admitted that they had indeed only made a few simple circles and had no idea of the origin of the more complicated genuine ones. Researchers soon discovered that the claims made by Doug and Dave may have originated at the British Ministry of Defence, in collusion with the CIA. Since the Doug and Dave scam, there have been many other copycats, and there is no question that a group of people could make a crop formation, because they can and have. But the fact still remains that no man-made crop circle comes close to the real phenomenon, a fact that has scientists and researchers scratching their heads. With a man-made circle, a physical object is used to flatten the crop to the ground resulting in breakage of the plant stems. In genuine formations, the stems are bent, usually about an inch off the ground near the first node. They appear to have been blasted with a brief, intense burst of heat causing the stems to soften and drop at a 90 degree angle, they then harden taking on their new permanent position without damage to the plant, leaving biologists and farmers baffled.

What else differentiates the man-made hoaxes from the true phenomenon? It seems that when most people enter the genuine circles they experience many things such as dizziness, euphoria, heightened states of awareness, and even healings of lifelong ailments. Trilling sounds have also been captured on tape and analysed by NASA; they have been found to have a harmonic component of 5.2 kHz. Electromagnetism has also been detected.

Which brings us back to “As above, so below”. For thousands of years this Hermetic maxim reflected the Egyptian practice of using sacred geometry as a way to achieve Universal order on Earth. Across Europe, we find ancient monuments, medieval cathedrals and massive stone circles attesting to the fact that they too recognized the importance of these symbols, and felt compelled to preserve them in a manner for all to see. One of the most beautiful examples of this is Chartres Cathedral. Like that of the crop circles, the energy frequencies at these ancient sites have been found to change brainwave patterns, and affect the body’s biophysical rhythm. What inspired these ancient artisans to go to such elaborate measures? From what source do the symbols originate? Why do the crop circles incorporate this same ancient symbolism and what does it all mean?

Some believe it is a message from Mother Earth, Gaia, in a plea for planetary healing and peace. Some say the symbols contain critical information from a Universal Source/God. Many feel it is a combination of the two, giving mankind the tools needed to achieve all that we are capable of becoming. And others still hold that there is no truth or message here at all. But whatever your opinion, one cannot deny the sheer artistic magic and power of this sacred art form!

Did you know that an Eagle KNOWS when a storm is approaching long before it breaks?

The eagle will fly to some high spot and wait for the winds to come. When the storm hits, it sets its wings so that the wind will pick it up and lift it above the storm.

While the storm rages below, the eagle soars above it. The eagle does not escape the storm. It simply uses the storm to lift it higher.

A funny thing happened..on the way to...sound familiar? No doubt it does because it seems to be a common human way to indicate you are going to tell a story...Ah yes the subtlies of human energy ...I myself prefer to be much more direct and find a good loud bark to be in order. So without adieu Arf Arf.

On one of my recent adventures, I had the opportunity to interview Paige, a young two legged on her first plane trip from Calgary to Vancouver. She asked me to pass along some important pieces of our conversation.

“I love being with Mommy and Grandma because they just love me so much and take very good care of me. But they have forgotten what it is like to be small person in a huge world.”

CP: “What have they forgotten?” “Lots, but mainly what it’s like to still be fully connected to the Universal God Source. From birth, infants have that connection, through their spine. The front of the body is the illusionary world of the third dimension and the spine is within the time continuum of the higher dimensional worlds.”

CP: “This all sounds complicated.” “Well it is and we’ll talk more about how it works at another time. For now, it is important to remember that children are open and vulnerable to everything, particularly through our backs. Because of this, my travels began very traumatically.”

CP: “Why, what happened?” “If you’ve ever traveled with humans, you’ve probably noticed they get a little tense when rushed and more stressed when they have all these anxious travelers around. Children can feel this anxiety, and I bet you do too Pup.”

CP: “For sure. It makes me want to run and hide.” “Exactly and because little ones have not yet learned the skills to deal with this we usually start crying, and the more we cry the more anxious everyone gets. On this day I was crying before I’d even boarded the plane. Mom and Grandma were anxious, plus all the passengers were worried if I’d ever stop crying. Feeling all that anxiety just made me cry more.”

CP: “That must have been awful.” “It was, but just after the plane took off, Grandma tried to console me by walking back and forth, holding my tummy against her chest and bouncing me. Now my ears were also hurting so I just kept screaming. I wanted to tell her she was making it worse when a lady said “Would you mind if I held your grandchild?”

CP: “Did she let the stranger hold you.” “Yes, because anyone could see this woman was kind. The lady sat me in her lap facing away from her with my back against her chest and instantly I began to feel better. That seemed odd to Grandma and Mom because normally when I’m happy I hate to sit like that; I’d much rather dance on someone’s lap.”

CP: “Why do you think you began to feel better?” “She was using her energy to diffuse all the negativity around me: the people, the machinery; and she was shielding my very vulnerable back at the same time. She spoke quietly and gently to me, and softly stroked my temples and ears. As she did, I could feel the pain floating away. Quickly, my cries became softer until I fell asleep, because next thing I knew we were landing in Vancouver.”

CP: “So you slept through the whole trip?” “Yup and when I awoke, I turned around, smiled into the lady’s eyes for the very first time and she said “how are you my little one?’ I thought she looked like an angel. What I need you to tell everyone is to be more aware of their surroundings and the reactions of the children they’re with. If a child starts crying in a mall, airplane, or public place, it’s likely because they are picking up on all the anxiety around them. The adult needs to stop and do what that lady did for me, because it works.”

So, how’s that for a story! Except it is not just a story - it did really happen. Of course it’s an easier concept for a dog to understand because we’ve been talking to humans on an energetic level for eons whether they listen to us or not. I think the New Year is a good place for all of us to try and start being more mindful of each other...so here is anoher story of truth to inspire you. With love to all in 2004, the Crystal Pup.

Born on April 11, 1992, in the middle of an Alberta blizzard, Dakota’s life began without even a hope of survival. Except for the warmth of angel wings and the warm bodied gentle giants of her herd, Dakota would never have lived to run freely across the great plains of her homeland. But by some miracle, for eight years Dakota lived wild and free, learning the ways of the earth.

Then suddenly, when Dakota was pregnant with her first foal, her world was completely shattered. Sedated and then cattle prodded into a dark box, Dakota endured a black eternity of fear. She then found herself on a small farm, at the end of a narrow dirt road, totally surrounded by trees. This was not safe. There were too many places for predators to hide.

Strange two legged creatures were everywhere. Dakota could not understand them. How come they seemed always to be either asking questions, or issuing orders and yet never pausing long enough for an answer. Terrified and confused, Dakota soon gave up trying to connect with these creatures. Not having the energy to fight, or the will, Dakota went along with what she had to, and otherwise lived in her own world of fear and isolation.

For three and a half years, Dakota endured in silent pain.Then one day, a funny looking, two legged opened the door to her stall and stepped in. Even in her shut down state, Dakota sensed a strong familiarity about this young woman. Had they met before?

Dakota was wary, but curious. Who was this stranger, who seemed not so strange? When the young woman placed her hand on Dakota’s neck, she quivered. Her body remembered that touch. It was just as warm, just as kind, as the angel girl from three years back. For a brief second Dakota traveled back in time to that day, when she had let the angel girl rub first her baby’s shoulders and then her own. It had been such a brief moment in time, but somehow, Dakota could not forget that touch, the love that had poured from the angel’s hands. Now though, the angel’s touch had a power, a confidence. In every move she made, the angel was asking the question of trust. Not just, “trust me”, but also, “let’s trust each other”.

Dakota couldn’t trust, couldn’t believe. There was too much pain. Too much she had lost. Turning, Dakota looked away. But the angel kept her hand on Dakota’s neck.

“Trust me,” she was saying. “Take a chance, and trust.” Dakota stared at the ground. “I can’t. It’s too hard.” Chance heard her, but would not give up. She whispered. “We can do this, if we work together.”

Dakota flicked an ear in her direction, and for a second looked into the angel’s eyes. “Follow me,” Chance said, “Take a chance.”

“See,” Chance said, “now you have a choice. Take this, what might be your last chance, or don’t” — Dakota looked at her and trembled. It just wasn’t that simple. “I know that,” Chance said. “I know it hurts. I know how hard it is. I know you do too.” Dakota blinked. This was not an ordinary two-legged. She sighed and hung her head.

“With trust?” “Yup.” Chance spoke softly. Hardly audible. She knew Dakota could hear her. “How can I trust?” “It is hard, I know.” Chance looked directly into Dakota’s soft eye. “When you trust, you leave yourself open to pain, and great love. But if you keep trusting, there will always- all ways, be the option of great love. Dakota, trust is an honor, a thing that develops in mutual balance. If we trust in each other, and the angel’s that are always with us, we can heal it all- your eye, my shoulder, and even, the heart of the Earth....”

Dakota didn’t look away. The truth rang deep inside her soul, and she knew she couldn’t deny it. Turning her head ever so slightly she met Chance’s gaze.

“Together?” She asked. “Together.” Chance promised and bowed her head. Dakota too, bowed her head. Their foreheads touched. Love and pain vibrated between and through them, and when they pulled back, neither were looking at the world through the same glasses.

Suddenly, Dakota saw Chance for who she truly was: an angel, tall, and regal, with beautiful golden red hair that fell in waves about her. She wore a gown of green velvet moss that radiated light. Folded behind her back, wings of a silvery white- colorless, yet containing all colors- hung in peaceful readiness. The angel’s green eyes radiated light and warmth, and shone with a fire that could burn holes in all darkness. Dakota blinked in amazement, and saw Chance do the same thing.

No longer did Chance see a nervous Belgian mare standing before her. This was a king’s horse, big, beautiful, with long, flowing silvery white mane and tail. When she moved, Chance saw every step as a dance. She was so light, so supple, with such graceful strength. Chance saw, through her angel eyes, the beauty of her soul shining through in crystal clarity.

As Chance stared in open awe and amazement, at the grandness of the horse before her, she noticed suddenly Dakota’s wings. They were silvery white-colorless, but containing all colors. Fluffy, warm, and strong, they were just like her own. Chance was nearly overwhelmed.

“Dakota,” She said quietly. “I need to make you a promise... two actually... I promise never to sell you unless you choose to shine your light somewhere else. The choice will always be yours. And I promise you, that one way or another, your daughter, will come to live with us too-forever-for as long as she chooses.” Chance looked at Dakota very seriously. “I promise ...and Chance doesn’t break promises.” Dakota heard her and dropped her head, letting it hang by Chance’s side.

Tenderly, Chance took a soft cloth and wiped away the puss, and slime from Dakota’s eye.

“If we work together, as one, we will heal your eye...” “Together.” Dakota murmured. The angel’s hands had such power, such light, such solidity. Dakota knew that if anyone could help her, it would be Chance. “I am not the only one.” Chance said softly. “Just the one placed here at this moment.”

“You were my last chance...” Dakota whispered softly. “I know.” Chance whispered back. “In more than one way.” Dakota finished. A tear fell down her cheek and splashed on the angel’s hand. “I know... And you were mine...” Chance said almost too quietly to hear. “You too, are an angel of hope and chance... I needed hope. I didn’t have much left...”

“I know.” And Chance knew Dakota did know. Together, as a team, they would heal hearts, they would free spirits, at Soul Ridge.

“You will always be the mascot, Dakota” Chance said through silent tears. — “And you will always be the love in my heart.” Dakota whispered. “You too...”

Looking at each other, the two angels smiled with twinkling eyes. The light that beamed from them connected and a bridge of light and love danced between them.

Chance leaned against Dakota’s strong neck. “We will stand side by side...” Dakota bent her neck around, and gently hugged the angel. “Always” “All ways”

December 17, 2003 This year has been a bit challenging. At times I felt a terrible sense of futility. I know some of you have felt the same. This is because the Old World is melting. But beyond the sense of futility is a new dignity, a redemption that awaits us. I’ve seen glimpses of it. Here’s a piece I wrote about that new dignity that you might find inspirational.

In 1993, I wrote a book called, “Whispering Winds of Change”; it was most prophetic in its own little way. It talked about the death of the world ego. I said that our true spirituality could not burst forth until the ego died. Our self-importance has had to take a few hits in order for us to see that we have been pretending; we are often scared, so we play the grand illusion. But we are coming to see that humility is the only way through to the other worlds where the God Force truly exists in abundance. I also said that the “world would split into two separate paths ” a fundamentalist, war-like and regressive, the other open and progressive.

In July 2000, we observed a new phenomena, “the morph” I called it. It looked like dry rain...a transcendental overlay on our 3-D world. We saw people dematerialize, and the floors and walls went soapy looking. It seemed as if reality was melting. I came to see the morph was just part of the arrival of the goddess, and death of the ego. It’s as if our old world was melting, to rise again as something new. Deep in that melting process is your ‘story’. We all have a story. It’s the pain and dysfunction of our lives, the rip offs and the abuse, the disappointments and setbacks, the memory of past experiences. It’s our illusions and the ego’s need to be right all the time. But the story is just that, a story, and it’s got to go or you will never become free.

Circumstances are changing and everyone’s story is under pressure and as the old story melts the ego reacts, fighting to retain control. You may find yourself on a very high horse for a while insisting you are right, insisting on the specialness of your story. Recognize the ego is scared, so it tells itself it’s the cult of the Chosen One. It needs to believe it is better than others. Some like to believe they are selected to dominate and rule over us. It’s all part of the ego’s need to seek immortality. By pretending to be elevated from common folk, it attempts to distance itself from their fate, which is to die.

Poor ego, all its illusions are melting. This is the phase we are in right now. The melting phase and the ego’s reactions to that melting: the high horse, unreasonableness, squabbles, arrogance, self-righteousness, self-importance and so forth. Just watch TV for an hour and you will see the high horse everywhere, and you will see how people need to be right. They need to be whiter-than-white, while everyone else is wrong, and not as righteous as they are. It’s comical and sad at the same time.

But the high horse doesn’t last long as the pain of holding on to it is immensely draining. You get sick. And your spot in the global mind is in the proximity of tens of thousands other high horses; they aren’t up for competition and so they will attack. Life becomes a running battle through your own shadow and that of others.

The morph is secret; it’s operating 24/7, taking the world ego down, while taking perception and spirituality upwards at rocket speed. And even if the ‘powers that be’ seem to climb up to a new prominence, that is just the ebb and flow in an unseen Armageddon. In the end the world ego, our collective stupidity, is inches from disaster. While angels dance on the head of a pin, we dance on the edge of a precipice. None of that matters if you hold to a humility and a spirituality that trusts in goodness, and the God Force within you, for beyond the rise of the shadow is a new dignity. Beyond that is redemption.

But before redemption, comes futility. If you have felt that futility, bear with it. You are not going crazy. It’s just that as the old paradigms grow stale, nothing offers much hope or inspiration. It’s the world in transition, materialism and pleasure seeking goes flat. The boredom is numbing, almost suicidal at times, in its lack of an escape route. There seems no air, no exit, from the humdrum repetitiveness of the ego’s world. The mind can’t work it out. That’s because it lives in the story, it likes it, even though the story is old. But the parameters of the new world are not the rigid angles and little boxes we are used to. There are no walls. Your new dignity, your new direction is in hyperspace, beyond logic.

Only your Higher Self knows of the world that is being made ready for you. That world includes a higher dimension, a higher level of existence, one in which the new dignity allows you to be free and it allows you to peer into other worlds. They are no longer denied to you. Mother Gaia has come to show us; she is the softness, the feminine within you.

The doorway into another world. Your Higher Self knows your story all the way to the end, and it knows how to take you to your highest good. It knows the choices you should make, even the very obscure ones that are hidden in the mirror-world that you can’t see at the moment. It knows that no matter how challenging things are right now, there is a redemption for you beyond the ego and the shadow. Your Higher Mind can take you, beyond the confusion of the ego. It shows you the way. Mother Gaia can take you by the hand and bring you home to safety to the pain-free zone, to greet others that got there before you.

The New Dignity is a resurrection, not a literal one after death, just a new spiritual identity after the ‘old-you’ finally gives up, and it is allowed to fall away. It is a lightness of being, ‘beyond the beyond’ in the embrace of people of like-mind, who also went through the uncertainty of letting go, to the spiritual resurrection that is on the other side. They arrived, as you will, to the new dignity that awaits.

Are you also a Merchant in the throes of being newly linked to the worldwide web?

If so, I’ll bet bytes to donut bits that you sometimes feel as though you are stumbling along through an intermittent fog, and have found yourself back to a now-familiar block more than once. I do have some recommendations for you:

~ Find a visionary website designer who will Listen to your vision, as well
~ Talk to an experienced accountant, and take Advantage of all possible deductions
~ Play with the graphics and your logo, feeling Uplifted by how your site looks
~ Remember the lyrics of the old song, and do Get by with a little help from your friends
~ Be detached from the quantity of response, Huge or small, which you receive at first

and finally...Wrap it up in a song and LAUGH at your troubles - new worlds are much easier to manage when your spirits are LIGHT!

Remember...remember...remember in these times of reawakening, the importance -the Power- the simple action of doing nothing. This may seem like a contradiction, as - when you are empty you are full. BE full of love and you will be empty of fear. When you ARE love your light shines so brightly, when you are one with the new energy of the star you have the ability to Shine from the Inside Out. This phenomenon will guide/protect you and create an energetic fulfilment that leaves no holes, allows no shadows to remain in your energetic self. Shining the new High Golden Heart Vibration dials up the frequency of your crystalline body within - preparing you to BE the Light of Divine Transformation.

Your planet is now running two parallel paths of energy. The new one is a very high vibration and because of this your physical bodies are truly processing and clearing old energetic space for you. You have the ability to choose to do this gently and easily if you align yourself with the Golden Heart Vibration of the Trinity that has been awakened within and without. A side effect of this phenomenon is that you will find you are more energetically sensitive to the world and the people around you. It is important that you honor your sensitivity by being aware of your energetic space and choose the company you keep with intention. It is also important to energetically protect the back of your body as this part of your anatomy plays a heightened role in the new times. Your old ways will not be effective in this new vibration but it is ever so simple to shift to a new way if you intentionally align your heartbeat with the Heart of the High Heavens and the Heart of Mother Earth. Be centered within the star that you are and simply Shine from the Inside Out. When you Shine from the Inside Out, every cell within you lights up with a higher vibration, transforming all within you. You intentionally radiate out peace and loving compassion. Life naturally falls into place and every step you take has the potential to be flawless. You become a living part of a seamless energetic tapestry. A critical yet humble piece of the creation of a new planetary code of Love and Compassion that will become a foundation for the ALL in the days to come.

A piece inside of you has known since the day you were born that you were meant to BE part of something so special it could literally change the Universe. This is why this is such an important time to follow your own path, to listen to the voice of truth within you that already knows why you came and knows the patterns of your heartbeat. Allow yourself to understand the New Power that is you and acknowledge that many will no longer see or understand this new frequency you pattern. This is a time to BE strong in loving yourself with amazing joy and understand it is not necessary for others to “fix” you when you choose to resonate with the new higher frequencies. Their attempted fixing will instead cause you trouble, for in order to accept this “help” you will need to lower your vibration to be part of the old system again. You will know when you are functioning in the new system for your unconditional loving compassion for yourself and ALL others will rise up within you with such a powerful beauty, that you will see the light on your face reflecting the new you. Likewise you will recognize your counterparts on the journey by their ability to simply BE and reflect love to you, assisting in your transition from the old system to the new. You will see through your eyes into theirs that they will have no agenda to do it for you, but are content to BE nothing, so you may re-pattern yourself with the wings of love they co-create for you. INDEED - once again the Ancient Families of Light are beginning to gather with great excitement, with a loving power that cannot be tampered with. Each one a co-creator assisting others in setting a unique individual code on Planet Earth. Your inner pulse adding its unique vibration to the tapestry of creation that opens a pathway into a circle of loving light so profound it can connect you with the ONE small spark inside you that is ready now...Ready to light up as virtual temples of Universal Transformation...Ready to Create Miracles!

There are times your life has felt like a volcano erupting, but the purpose of this was to quickly prepare you for the now. INDEED you asked for the accelerated way, yet you were not always prepared for the speed that you received the answers to your requests. But when you Shine from the Inside Out there is no need to use fear and disruption as tools for enlightenment. In fact that will slow you down now. Better to choose to realign yourself “with yourself” with trust and joyful abundance and IT WILL BE SO.

A great day of the infinity recently passed. (Nov 8,03). That vibration now holds open portals, gateways of timelessness and patterns capable of being recoded. It is a time/place for “family” to come together as ONE, for the codes will only change at the request of the ONE Heart. This island is strategically placed on Planet Earth as a keeper of the codes and some of the ancient ones are here now as human co-creators. It is a precise vehicle for holding ascended vibrations that are a catalyst for personal and planetary rising up, for the peaceful yet outrageous expansion of the heart. This is a time for shifting, moving through those gateways of time and space, sound, light and colors you have been remembering. As greater numbers of you choose to resonate, you give your crystalline bodies within, permission to also remember and match the vibrations of the star from whence you came - thus you truly become the Light-Star that you are. You can indeed understand, see, BE a sacred vessel with no agenda, to once again be “Earth” vibrational keepers of the codes of the heart, pure heart - nothing else. To be perfectly content to BE who you are and to take your place once again in the circles of energetic shifting vibrations. The Ancient Ones remember as we begin to reinstate the Circles of 12 + 1. The Return of the Consciousness of Christ - of the Ancient Wise Ones who walked your planet in the past. Do not look to anyone to save you now - look to yourself to BE the WORD spoken long ago - to BE the miracle - the Divine Trinity. You begin to practice gently, teaching the human body to transition and BE heaven on earth for the First Time Ever. This phenomenon IS now starting to take place and will forever change your history.

Imagine a seamless tapestry. Imagine looking full circle at a unique energetic system so divinely different and yet a perfect reflection of the ONE that you are now. A system so energetically precise you begin to move tracklessly once again. Rise up you do, into sound, light, color - the state of infinity, the place you dreamed of in ancient times in the Temples of Light in the Temples of Transformation. The bells within you ring that you are ready to see, hear, and feel in a new way. We acknowledge that INDEED the rainbows in your heavens are reflecting new colors you can see now that your light is bright. Your energetic mates hasten to join with you once again that you may enjoy and explore this amazing new way together. This is not a time to settle for second best..honour now your Divine birthright as the child of the Universe. Worthy you are to recieve ALL the good the Source as to offer you.

The past two years energetic patterns have been set on your Island, gridworks expanded, stars of transformations are in place - portals capable of holding this vibration - the highest love Planet Earth is capable of being, is here at this time. It will be held initially by this crystalline Island, which rises up to facilitate a parallel expansion within you - within individuals making a commitment to that inner voice to BE who they truly are once again. There is no need to be acknowledged by others, for your ability to BE a bridge between heaven and earth to KNOW this yourself is the key. And yet you will recognize others like you from the loving transformational power that shines through their eyes. Shining your light from the Inside Out!

Great love and joy rises up! There will be no destruction of energetic space to facilitate transformation. Enough of you have and continue to choose the New Way so there is no reason to “leave anyone behind”. For the moment you will simply manage two energetic systems on your planet. THAT IS HOW GREAT YOUR HEARTS ARE. How powerfully Divine your choices have been. Begin to take your places, strategically centered, as Foundational Keepers of the Gridwork - perfectly aligned, lovingly present, willing to monitor and become familiar again with the Power of Manifestation. Preparing the way of the ONE, the way of your ancient source. Creating and maintaining an energetic system so precise, so beautiful, so fully loving and flawless. In this moment all you need to know is nothing. Enjoy a conscious understanding of the beauty of this new way, as together you unfold petals of creation. Each of you in your own way will be part of the pattern. BE ONE HEART as you choose to reclaim the SACRED ONE that is you.

This is truly a Time of Celebration! Rise up within your own beautiful hearts now and enjoy the on-going wonder of being energetically alert. Turn the wheel with intention and IT IS SO. Let you wings expand. Let your heart be more than it’s ever been before. Love with Infinite Possibilities. This is only the beginning. You ARE in the right place and the right time. Ever so precious you are - remember, there is nothing to do - SIMPLY BE Love and Shine from the Inside Out.

One of our readers recently expressed their frustration with all these ‘code’ techniques they didn’t know the meaning of. I expect many others feel the same, so we’ve taken two of the E ones (small smile) and thus give you a little explanation....with love and understanding.

Remember when acupuncture looked and sounded weird, incredible, even impossible? Since then, we’ve come to know acupuncture, acupressure, reflexology, and similar techniques as highly effective treatments. Physical problems, especially pain, can be helped or even eliminated by putting slim needles into, or just by pressing on, key points on energy meridians.

Imagine using the same points on the body to eliminate negative emotions! That, simply and exactly, is what Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT) does.

The discovery that specific points on the body are linked to emotions is as revolutionary as acupuncture’s discovery that those points are linked to physical organs. Just as acupuncture and similar techniques help the body to heal physically, Emotional Freedom Techniques heal emotional effects by restoring the body’s energy to balance. Many practitioners of EFT believe that this discovery could revolutionize the treatment of emotional problems.

What’s the theory? Gary Craig, developer of the Emotional Freedom Technique, says, EFT is based on the discovery that imbalances in the body’s energy system have profound effects on one’s personal psychology. People simply get beyond their emotional luggage, usually permanently, and go about their lives more effectively. The key statement underlying EFT is the cause of all negative emotions is a disruption in the body’s energy system.

How is it done? The process, on the surface, is simple: focus the thoughts on an issue while tapping with the fingertips on the end points of certain energy meridians to unblock energy flow in the system. EFT has been described as acupuncture for emotions, without the needles. In practice, there are several processes within EFT, and it is essential to find the approach and the words that name the issue or experience that is causing negative emotions.

What is EFT useful for? The answer is, maybe everything. EFT has been demonstrated to be effective with an amazing range of problems, and the limits haven’t yet been reached . The technique was developed only ten years ago, and has been coming into broad public awareness for just six years.

The list of issues and problems that EFT has been effective with is impressive: athletic performance, concentration, confidence, mental clarity, ability to relax, effects of abuse, addictions, lifelong fears, anxiety and panic attacks, prolonged grieving, smoking, adult child issues, PTSD, relationship issues, eating disorders, chronic physical pain, degenerative diseases and this list grows almost daily. Craig encourages people to try it on everything.

As a treatment method, EFT has a number of positive qualities. Emotional Freedom Technique is:
• Effective - it works at least partially over 90% of the time, and is completely effective in eliminating a problem over 70% of the time.
• Most problems are eliminated in two - five sessions of about 60 minutes.
• Non-invasive - the therapist taps gently on specific locations on the face, body, and hand to promote energy balance. No needles, no knives, no pills, no physical stress.
• Gentle - it is not necessary that the person re-experience an intense or painful incident to heal its effects. EFT works even when someone is unwilling or unable to describe an issue or event.
• Inclusive - EFT does not conflict with other treatments.
• Easy to personalize - clients can learn basic forms of EFT in the treatment sessions, to use for themselves for the issue that brought them to the session or for anything else that surfaces.
• Easy to learn - the basic techniques can be learned, with practice, in a one-day training session.

For many people, even after successful treatment, EFT seems almost miraculous. After using it myself and many others for many years, I believe that EFT is as important for emotional healing as Pasteur’s discovery of bacteria 140 years ago was for disease. I’d like to see the day when we do our own tapping as readily and confidently as we now reach for water when we’re thirsty.

The Earth is most definitely in a natural cycle of evolution, as it has seen many times before and we humans are also caught in this evolutionary cycle. We are changing and with change often come confusion, conflict and perhaps even chaos in our lives.

“I don’t know what’s going on but I feel out of sorts.” “Something is different but I can’t identify what it is.” “I feel stuck; unable to move forward” “Anger and hurt over past issues have been coming to the surface.” Sound familiar?

What do the changes in the Earth have to do with the EMF Balancing Technique®? We all have an electromagnetic field (EMF) although “aura” may be the term you have heard to describe this energy field, which exists around all living beings, animals and plants. All physical life has its own electromagnetic field, which, in turn, is energetically connected to the larger electromagnetic field of our planet. Like our physical bodies, our electromagnetic field has many systems within it and as the Earths’ electromagnetic field has been changing, so too, has our human energy field changed.

Over the last 15 years we began evolving a new system in our energy anatomy, the Universal Calibration Lattice. Peggy Phoenix Dubro, has observed, mapped and worked with this new system and has become a leading authority in the field of energy balancing. Ms. Dubro is the originator of the EMF Balancing Technique®, a gentle yet powerful method of energy work designed to activate, strengthen and connect the various systems within the Universal Calibration Lattice. It is the first modality to make use of the “new energies” available to us at this point in our evolution.

The original four phases of the EMF Balancing Technique® integrates Spirit and biology thereby allowing us to carry the full potential of who we are. Phase l lays the foundation for the subsequent sessions resulting in stress reduction, peace, calm and balance. For some, this session can foster a spiritual awakening. In Phase ll, the area of the EM field that holds our personal history is balanced allowing the gentle release of past issues that are holding us back. Phase lll opens the core energy allowing more universal information to flow through the field, which produces a vibrational shift that others will notice! In the final Phase lV, the EMF Balancing Technique® connects energetic circuits, enabling us to access and co-create our future potential NOW, while releasing fear and worry of future events.

As a worldwide organization, there are Teachers and Practitioners in over 44 countries. For more information, to find a Practitioner in your area or a schedule of upcoming courses go to www.emfworldwide.com

Kim Stratten is an internationally certified Teacher of the EMF Balancing Technique® and is a certified Practitioner of Phases 1-8.See ad this page for more info on upcoming courses.

Love - Energy - Aging. Is there any connection? Why do we age and why do some people seem to age slower than others? Is it in the genes, quality/quantity of food, more sleep, better moisturizers than others, exposure to the sun? We have many questions. but what are the answers?

I have a friend in Berlin who was invited by the Tibetan monks to spend 5 ½ months living with them to be a healer. She doesn’t seem to be aging despite getting by on 4 hours sleep, therefore there must be another reason why she doesn’t appear to be aging. I asked her daughter who is a medical doctor whether she had any ideas. Her answer was interesting, “She controls her thoughts”. I feel that this might be closer to the answer.

I am a Consegrity therapist. Part of the teachings is that every emotion is connected to an energetic frequency. On one end of the spectrum is the high frequency of unconditional love and peace, while at the other end is the low frequency of fear. Between these two are happiness, satisfaction, ambition, contentment, frustration, sadness, depression and anger.

Studies by Dan Winter, a leading physicist, have shown that the vibratory component of emotions, when matched with the human DNA impact the structural codes. Interestingly, when we superimpose the vibration of love on the double helix of the DNA, they have the same vibratory rate. Our DNA works best when we are in a state of unconditional love. All the genetic coding sites are very active. In the state of fear, many genetic coding sites are not connected and become inactive.

Observe how you look and feel when your life is full of love. Your body is energetic, you can go non-stop all day, life situations flow effortlessly and relationships deepen. On the other hand, when we experience feelings of fear, our body feels fatigued, we are anxious, continually in a state of worry about the past or the future and we have difficulty loving ourselves and others. These two extremes have one thing in common - choice. It is our choice whether life is joy or life is a struggle.

In Gregg Braden’s book “The Isaiah Effect” the answer of the Essenes to the question “How may we bring peace to our brothers? The peace that comes from within, not our understanding that sees peace as the absence of war and aggression. First shall Man seek peace with his own body. Then with his own thoughts. Then with his own feelings.”

In the article “The Physiological and Psychological Effects of Compassion and Anger” by G. Rein, Ph.D. in the Journal of Advancement in Medicine states there is an increase of the antibody immunoglobulin A (S-IgA) when positive emotions were present. Anger produced an increased heart rate, total mood level disturbance, but not increased S-IgA. Six hours after the event, there was a significant inhibition of S-IgA.

So what conclusion do we come to? Simply, emotions with a low vibration are not good for us. Since like attracts like they also pull low vibratory situations into our lives which we don’t really want to experience.

What can we do to raise the vibrations of our body? Well we can start by watching and controlling our thoughts. We also have the choice with whom we want to be with, people whose presence makes us feel good. Anything that makes us feel happy, like a walk in the forest, interactions with animals, singing, meditation raises our vibratory level.

Also very important is the food that we eat. The average food which is cooked or processed has a vibration of 15 megahertz, supplements 10-20 megahertz, McDonald’s 3-5 megahertz, pure essential oils 60-320 megahertz. Parasites cannot live over 60 megahertz. Our immune system works at its optimum at 120 megahertz.

PULSE from the Brain Garden has 50-100 megahertz. Hearing this I understood why people who regularly eat PULSE are looking so much healthier, brighter and younger. It consists of 24 whole, natural and raw food ingredients, nuts, seeds, grains, fruits, legumes and vegetables. Many of us who eat PULSE regularly notice that we handle the stresses of life much better. Controlling our thoughts becomes much easier to do.

As long as we can provide our body with living water and nourishment from natural, live foods grown without chemicals, unadulterated by heat and/or processing, our body is able to heal itself. I could go even further to say that we also have to consider the impact of higher vibratory rate of raw food on our DNA.

All of this brings us closer to the vibration of love, where more genetic coding sites are active, enabling our bodies to heal themselves and help us to stay young and vibrant.

Most of us have experienced an emotional response to a particular piece of music; we may suddenly feel nostalgic or be “moved to tears” by what we are hearing. Our bodies respond intuitively to the vibrations of that piece of music, even though we may not have consciously made any connections between the sounds and what we are experiencing. In essence, Symphonic Sound Healing reconnects each of us with our own internal wisdom, our own ability to heal ourselves. Ever so gently, music uplifts the spirit and refreshes the soul.

Symphonic Sound Healing is a form of energy work, drawing on the vibrations and frequencies of a variety of musical instruments, including keyboard, crystal bowls and voice, to facilitate gentle healing. It is the intent and focus of the practitioner to bring forward this healing modality, combined with the intensity and purity of the vibrations and frequencies created, that literally charges the symphonic sounds that are presented during healing concerts and private sessions. The sacred sounds experienced through this modality contain their own wisdom and healing power, similar to Reiki energy, and thereby impact each individual accordingly. This is what differentiates it from “regular” music.

As in all forms of energy work, Symphonic Sound Healing facilitates deep relaxation and emotional release, allowing the flow of energy throughout the body and assisting in a balancing of the body energetically. The use of music to facilitate healing dates back to ancient times, with the beating of sticks on logs, and the pounding together of stones. All cultures recognized the healing power of sound and music; in Plato’s time, musicians were held 100% accountable for the effectiveness of their musical treatments, being banned from the city should the patient’s response be less than desirable. Drums and pipes have been used to lead men into battle for more than 6,000 years, and mothers have sung their children to sleep with gentle lullabies for centuries. National anthems been used to strengthen bonds of patriotism, and voices have been raised in praise through hymns and chants.

In modern times, the therapeutic use of music has proven effective in relieving symptoms of depression, boosting the immune system, easing grief, speeding recovery from injury, and even replacing tranquilizers and easing allergies. Researchers have observed the benefits of playing classical music for disruptive dementia patients; doctors have noted reduced recovery times when patients are played a personal music selection during surgery. Nurses have seen infants instantly comforted by Mozart while performing blood work. Many have been astounded as Alzheimer patients have been roused from their stupor by a familiar melody, standing and singing a complete song, only to relapse into silence once the piece is finished. Scientists believe the part of the brain that stores musical memories is somehow untouched by the ravages of this disease; it is their only explanation. Music does alter our moods and can lift us to unimaginable heights, gifting us with images and visions of different dimensions and possibilities.

To better understand the healing potential of sound/music, one must appreciate the simple fact that sounds are vibrations which literally pass through all things physical, including our bodies. Interestingly, each musical note correlates with a specific chakra or energy point, and its corresponding internal organs, impacting them all as the vibration of the sound passes through the body and continues on through time and space. Our bodies recognize these vibrations and respond accordingly, with each person experiencing their own unique response. We may discover tears running down our face before having any conscious awareness of a particular piece of music or specific sound. We are resonating with the vibrations of the music. And, just as possible, we may feel irritated or even angry in response to a particular musical piece, although we may not find the notes unpleasant. We are still, in fact, responding to what we are hearing. Such is the invisible power of music to impact our emotions and our moods.

Music is a universal language; it requires no translation. I have personally experienced and witnessed the ability of music to ease the passage from life to death. Somehow, the music I have been honoured to offer has helped all involved with this transition, as I have played by the bedside of palliative patients. I have also seen the joy on the faces of children, youth and adults with special needs as our voices are raised in song and we “make music” with our hand instruments. We are given so little opportunity to make noise and be loud…and heard. The power of the vibrations from voices raised in song are magical and wonderfully empowering, something many of us experience only during the holiday season, when we too, are given permission to sing out loud and give voice to feelings of hope, joy and celebration and love. I believe these same sentiments are at the heart of Symphonic Sound Healing.

I honestly believe that those who listen to these symphonic sounds experience deep relaxation and a profound sense of peace. Most feel uplifted and, hopefully, all feel that they have somehow connected with the majesty, power and beauty of All That Is. Namaste. Mikeoula

This is written only as a self-help reminder for anyone who yearns for a more peaceful inner environment.

To master life means transforming the way we experience our living, through awareness and practice of creative thinking. It means learning to let fear and negativity flow through without feeling hurt, and to be direct, natural, and respectful in all of our relationships.

The subconscious mind, like a computer, is given to us as a tool, and creates only according the thoughts that make up its programming. If our experience is mostly happiness and contentment it is because our thoughts are more positive than negative. However many people have no idea how frequently they think in negative terms, - grumbling, disliking, faultfinding, on and on, - creating a miserable reality for themselves. When we are unhappy with the way life is unfolding, we can quickly improve its quality by changing our thinking patterns.

Our self-chosen viewpoints about what we encounter are also a result of our past thoughts. It is important to remember that our viewpoints and those of everyone else are invariably distorted. There is no way any of us could have all the facts on anything. Our subconscious minds have equally distorted viewpoints, which are frequently contrary to those of our conscious minds. An example is the negative programming we may have received as children, that “sex is shameful”. As adults, consciously desiring a satisfying sexual relationship, we then experience problems. We may have no memory of the subconscious thoughts that shaped our viewpoints, but they are what determine our responses or reactions, especially in crisis situations.

We judge everything through the viewpoints that our subconscious minds have accepted as “truths”, which we rarely if ever challenge. Even when a majority agrees, that doesn’t make it the truth. Yet outdated truths in the form of notions, doctrines, views, and moralities restrict our lives as long as we hang on to them. Any assumption accepted without challenge will keep us enslaved until we question its usefulness for enhancing our living. Truth exists for us only as it relates to being honest with ourselves, and with others. By this means, the truth sets us free.

Some people see life as a parade of problems. With their whining, worrying, and retelling of victim stories, they program their subconscious with even more negativity. Interestingly, others see that every negative event in life is really an opportunity for growth. The difference between them is in attitude. Response to each situation in a positive way demonstrates an increase in wisdom. If reaction to the event brings up thoughts of fear, bitterness, resentment, and self-pity, the “lesson” has not been learned, and variations of the “opportunity” will reappear.

Our feelings of isolation and other negativities are all symptoms of fear engendered by imagining that we are separate beings. Organized religions teach of a god, heaven, hell, and the devil, as concepts of separation that are widely used for controlling people’s minds. Wisdom lifts us above these fear-based notions to recognition of total union with the creative source, and with one another as a single, all encompassing organism. Acceptance of this viewpoint lifts our consciousness to a state of compassion for all others and contentment with our own state of being to a level where our hearts become filled with unconditional love.

For me, Love is the name that resonates most perfectly with my soul-memory of union with all being, and thus it is my own identity. It has been truly said, that love is the antidote for fear. With this in mind, let’s look at some of our primary relationships. Many of us tend to be jealous, possessive, and envious, yet we call this love. Could it really be a fear of losing? Fear induces aggression, which is a main ingredient of many “love” relationships. The reason for aggression is to avoid losing, and according to universal law, to resist losing is to program the loss. Much of our suffering is a result of craving to possess and keep things that are essentially impermanent. Possessiveness is denial of the right to change and grow, both of one’s self and the other. The master of life knows that nothing or no one can be possessed. He no longer grasps, not even ideas, but uses them where appropriate, and releases them to flow by in the stream of life.

Unconditional love is what we all aspire to. However, we can only have genuine love for another, when we have loving acceptance of ourselves. Then we can find joy in our love relationships, allowing the negatives to simply flow past, without feeling injured. We can know our love is unconditional when it is not diminished by anything the other does or says. We give freely without expectation of return. We feel good about allowing total freedom. We have no expectation that the other will change to satisfy our viewpoint. We feel joy at the other’s happiness. By accepting and allowing freedom because of tender caring for one another, a couple can see each new situation as a growth opportunity, with their own heart wisdom as their guiding star. Many people have forgotten that to practice this kind of love is our purpose for being here.

Compassion is an aspect of love, wherein we want to assist the sufferer in choosing ways to alleviate his or her own pain. Giving our loving attention can provide a healing atmosphere, but we do well to remember that freedom from pain comes from within, and perhaps the surest help we can give another is to free ourselves from the pains induced by our own negative thinking.

Without a purpose and reason for living we die. Life is a process of creativity, which entails risks. There is no creation without risk, and without creative purpose there is no life worth living. If we want a better life, we can have it by accepting every situation as a challenge for growth or an opportunity for enhanced delight at the wonder of it all. Unless we fully experience each moment, enjoying the incident for what it is, we are not really living. We are simply wandering through our fantasies, probably feeling various anxieties as we tread along.

This brings us to the importance of choosing attitudes of compassion and gratitude. When every situation is seen as a growth opportunity, feelings of gratitude follow naturally. Where there is recognition of union with all, we see clearly that there are no “evil” people. There are only people who (until they remember who they are), engage in destructive activities. Compassion demands that we ask ourselves, “How does this apply to me? Have I ever had an evil thought, or done an evil deed?” This is an excellent antidote for judgement and self-righteousness.

I choose to see Love as the substance of all being, Truth as the basis of all creative doing, with Gratitude and Appreciation providing the lubrication for easy relationships.

Despite all of daily life’s vicissitudes every one of us yearns for a good heart. Regardless of how or where we live, we humans have one thing in common: we desire happiness. But happiness seems illusory and sometimes so does a good or compassion heart. Even more out of reach is a fulfilled life. One of the keys to cultivating a compassionate heart is to understand suffering.

It is said that compassion and wisdom are like the two wings of the bird that aid us to fly to enlightenment. To understand compassion one must first understand suffering. That suffering exists is the first of the 4 Noble Truths that Shakyamuni Buddha taught over 2500 years ago. Once we truly realize and accept our suffering then we may begin to cultivate compassion for ourselves. If we still deny our true state of being, then compassion too seems illusory. Once understanding of suffering - not only of oneself, but of others - is attained, then the desire to eradicate the suffering of others and self arises, and this is called compassion.

It is also said that compassion is necessary at the beginning, middle and end. In the beginning compassion is necessary to turn one’s mind toward enlightenment and to help other beings alleviate their suffering. Thus it is like the seed of enlightenment. In the middle compassion motivates humans in practicing virtue and to help attain wisdom and merit to attain buddhahood. Compassion is the moisture that nurtures realizations to grow. At the end, the enlightened are empowered by great compassion to continuously help suffering beings of all kinds.

The Sanskrit word for compassion is bodhichitta (bodhi meaning enlightenment and chitta meaning mind). So the root of bodhicitta is the mind of enlightenment. There are two types of compassion or bodhichitta: wishing or aspiring and venturing or engaging. There are also different approaches for the development of compassion and various means of aiding sentient beings. In the Spiritual teaching His Holiness will expound on what compassion is, the myriad avenues of how to cultivate a good heart in order to help others and how to live a fulfilled life while serving.
