What’s AboveWW i t h Ci t h C l a i r vl a i r v o yo y a n t Ka n t K i mi m


When a loved one has passed, how soon can theysend us a sign? Is there a process they go throughto adjust to the change in their energy level? Howlong should I wait before asking for a sign or see amedium to make a connection?

~ Linda M., Edmonton, Alberta ~

Great question. Based on my experience with channelling, souls are able to communicate with us rightaway. When we separate from our physical bodies, thesoul falls into a "sleep or a lull" for a period of time. It isvery similar to being in a deep meditation. The length oftime of rest depends on how long that person sufferedbefore they crossed, example: a long cancer illness. Thesleep is a way of recharging our energy/soul. Keep inmind that there is no sense of time "on the other side"(time is physical, man made), a soul could be resting forquite some time, but for us, it is a fleeting moment. Thisis a difficult concept to take in. I have channelled manysouls who have crossed over the day before. It is alsocommon for people to have a visit from a loved one notlong after they pass, it is a reassurance to us that theyare still with us and close by. I recently lost a belovedaunt just before Christmas, and the very next morningshe came to me to let me know that she was fine, happyand with her mother. So, a person can start asking forsigns right away and can visit a medium as soon as itfeels right for them.

I need to know that my mom is okay? I can't stopmissing her, as she lived with me for the last 6years. I cry all the time it seems and everywhere I look I feel her, but not her presence. How can Iask my mom to come and visit me, so that I canfeel that she is all right?

~ Debbie K., Hinton, Alberta ~

I am so sorry to hear of your mothers passing. Losing amother can be one of the most difficult losses. You obviously loved her very, very much, that is why the painis so great. If you are feeling her everywhere, that is herpresence with you, try to find it comforting, because sheis trying to console you from the other side. Mothers do not stop being our mom's, just because they have

changed form. I believe that you are being flooded withthoughts and memories of her, especially ones from yourchildhood. I also feel that she has reconnected with ababy that passed many years ago. There was great happiness for her in this reunion. She is putting thosethoughts to you so that you can still feel a connection toher. She has gone nowhere; she still walks with youalways. If you can really find a way to believe this, youwill not feel the loss so deeply...and is she all right, well,never worry about anyone on the other side, they arealways happy, healthy and at peace.

My son in law has recently passed from an accident. Since the accident, my daughter haswithdrawn from me. She has declined to go forany grief counselling. I would like to know how tobest help her?

~ Karen C., Calgary, Alberta ~

Your daughter is truly blessed to have a family that canlove her and help her through this difficult time. It feelsthat she is not one for sharing her feelings and emotionsat anytime. There are so many different ways that people grieve. Some visit cemeteries on a regular basisand others cannot bear to go. Some talk about the trauma constantly, while others can't seem to speak of itat all. There is no right or wrong way to process a loss.Having a session with a medium can be very helpful. Toconnect with that soul again, to hear that they are happyand safe, and that they are still near. I read for a womana few days ago who was grieving the loss of her son. Hecame through loud and clear and proceeded to tellme/her, in great detail, everything that his mother haddone that morning. She had been in the shower thatmorning and ran out of conditioner, she jumped out ofthe shower, swore, and ran to another bathroom to get anew bottle. Well, her son told me all this, she was laughing and crying at the same time. She had no doubtwhatsoever that he was still here. Reassure your daughter that there is help for her and that she can cometo you when she is ready. She will. I do see your son inlaw flying down the road having a great time, maybe ona motorcycle.

I would like to know about reincarnation. Doesthis process happen to every soul?

~ Kathy S., Strathmore, Alberta ~

Love this question! Yes, we all reincarnate. No one is onhis or her last journey down here. The reason any of ushave a physical experience is to learn. Earth is like a biguniversity campus, where we are all taking different classes and learning different lessons. For some of us, wehave to keep taking that same class over and over againuntil we get the lesson. Once that lesson is learned,another one will be presented. Learning never ends. Oursouls are constantly a work in progress, whether we areoperating in the physical or non-physical world. Somesouls have had more lives than others. They are oftencalled old souls or advanced souls. These souls have hadmore life experiences than others. They seem to reallyunderstand that we are here to help one another. All philanthropists are advanced souls. An old soul couldnever hurt anybody or anything. They understand that ifyou are a good person and help others, you will trulyhave a blessed life.

NEW BOOK - Sawbonna: Dialogue of Hope. A RealLife Restorative Justice Story.By Margot Van Sluytman (Calgary, AB)

Dr. Michael L. Hadley, Project Director, "TheSpiritual Roots of Restorative Justice," Centre forStudies in Religion and Society, University ofVictoria: "Violence shatters our bedrock assumptionsabout ourselves and our world. Trauma, grief, anger, and hopelessness seem all that is left. No one is spared. Butthere is a way out. It is the path of reconciliation. Thejourney along this path is never a soft option, for it isfraught with many risks. Courage, honesty and hope arethe keys. Accountability is the first step, and Grace thefinal gift. Sawbonna: I See You. Dialogue of Hope, sharesinsights into the experiences of two people whose liveswere radically altered by a violent encounter. It highlightssignposts and turning points on their life-long search forspiritual healing. It marks a deeply personal step towardsrestoring the once-broken moral bond of community."

Self WorthBy Judy Blais

Judy is a natural energy healing practitioner at NEWINTENTIONS , located in Sylvan Lake, AB. Judy can becontacted at [email protected]

Please see ad this page

We all deserve thebest this life has tooffer; but do we feelwe are worthy of thebest?

Some people believethat the best thingsmust be earned; thatthere is a reward system, and that it isnecessary to accumulate enough'points' in order to

receive the 'good' things life has to offer. They put goodhealth, happiness, and joy into this category. Since weare all on this earth to live the best life possible, and tolearn everything we can to make that happen, why limitourselves to what we are 'allowed' to accept, to make lifeeasier?

Natural Energy healers use the universal energy that is allaround us, tapping into it and using it to heal mind, bodyand spirit. We are all unique therefore we need a personalized healing. Our own body knows what it needsto help it heal; whenever we are connected to universalenergy our body accepts this energy and uses it for ourhighest benefit.

We often need to re-teach our bodies how it feels to behealthy. We may need to download what pure uncondi-tional love feels like. Self worth may not be a feeling wehave ever felt. The good news is these feelings are

available to all of us. When a connection is made to theuniversal energy we can easily bring these and manyother feelings into our being on every level.

Often we need to release the scarring from a traumaticevent from our past before we are able to accept thefeelings of self-love and self worth. Removing limiting beliefs and other blocks we carry, and believing in our own self worth will change the way we treat ourselvesand how we look at others. Change the way you thinkabout yourself, start by telling yourself that you are worthy of the best this life has to offer. Give yourself thelove you need, treat yourself to something that bringsyou joy every day. SMILE.

When we believe we have self worth, and can feel self-love, a new world is open to us; one where weKNOW that the best things in life are available for us atall times. We are all worthy of the best.

Keeping Your Head While All Around Are

Losing TheirsBy Nicola Elliott Lapierre

About 23 or 24 years ago I began reading books by journalist then author Ruth Montgomery. Ruth beganwriting her books through a process known as automaticwriting after a colleague and friend, Arthur Ford, passedaway. If I recall correctly it was Arthur, Lilly and "thegroup" that came through to Ruth with information concerning Earth's future. Ruth came to affectionatelyrefer to Arthur and the group as "The Guides."

Through Ruth the Guides spoke about chaotic and challenging times to come. I remember reading with fascination and also some trepidation as I wondered howwe would all live with such challenges. In hindsight thewords of the prophetic Guides were amazingly accurateas much of what they foresaw has come to pass.

Of course we also have the writings of Nostradamus andothers with prophecies of tumultuous times. Does thismean we have no power to create and maintain a peaceful existence for ourselves? Do we have to spendinordinate amounts of time "clearing" ourselves of all thefear and negativity that we feel bombarded by? Theanswer, of course, is no.

If you are feeling fearful and anxious but cannot identifya cause, check your level of engagement in the drama ofthe family, group or world consciousness. Have you putyourself in the middle of the picture? Do you feel responsible for the feelings and outcomes of others?Then ask yourself this question, how did it help when youengaged in the drama? Did the ensuing headaches, tightshoulders and knots in the stomach help in some way?

Many of us are heavily invested in feeling responsible for

Nicola Elliott Lapierre is an Intuitive HolisticPractitioner located in Calgary, Alberta. Nicola developedan interest in healing with energy therapies and alternative treatments as a result of her own health challenges. In her early twenties she developed Grave'sDisease (over-active Thyroid). The doctors tried for twoyears to create balance in Nicola's body but were not succeeding. A family friend who does remote healingstepped in allowing Nicola to heal which also created aspiritual awakening.

Approximately 10 years later Nicola developed CeliacDisease with associated severe depression. This time herconnection to Spirit allowed her to intuit how to heal herself. Then in early 2008 Nicola was diagnosed withOsteosarcoma, a cancerous bone tumour located in hershin. Once again a major health challenge served to further Nicola's growth and understanding of healing andhow the mind can be powerful tool in this process.

With over twenty years of study and practice in varioushealing arts and intuitive development Nicola developedher own style of energy healing that she calls IntuitiveHealing.

Intuitive Healing utilizes the intuitive senses throughremote viewing to gather information from the energyand physical bodies. Energy corrections and recommendations are made based on imbalances detected in the reading.

Nicola offers a Workshop Series in Intuitive Healing andoffers private sessions that combine this process with theYuen Method™ developed by Dr. Kam Yuen.

Intuitive Healing, Yuen Method™

the actions and behaviours of others and this draws usinto the drama. In fact, as adults, we are only responsible for the care and welfare of minor children. As far as the behaviours of other adults go it's none ofour business unless there is a medical requirement forcare. Even then the caregiver must not sacrifice himselfor herself for the other.

In order for us as individualsto create and maintain peacein our lives we need to detachor disengage from the drama.This is not separation butrather being in a state of neutrality to what is going onaround you. From this positionyou can choose to take actionif you desire but remain free ofthe energy draining drama.There is no honour in goingdown with a sinking ship nordoes that help the ship stayafloat.

So how do we get to a placeof detachment? We need toremember that we have

choice. We can choose to bring ourselves back to thisplace by stepping outside the situation for a moment andlooking at it as the observer. From this standpoint wecan choose again and again if necessary to disengageand return to the center.

Many healers, including myself in the past, becomeengaged in the client's issues. This comes from a sinceredesire to help the other person. Unfortunately this typeof engagement often has the healer taking on the pain ofothers to the detriment of their own health. Protectionrituals do nothing to protect the healer in the long run.What is the protection for but to put up a barrier againstweakness? Clearing negative energy is also not theanswer to maintaining the well-being of the healer.

In order for the healer to maintain health and vitality theymust strengthen their energy and remain detached fromthe feelings and outcomes of their clients. Healers needonly use their intent to strengthen their energy and maintain detachment. With time and practice this willbecome a normal state of being. This is true for all of usif we choose to walk in peace through what looks like achaotic world.

Nicola Elliott Lapierre has been studying and practicingEnergy Therapies for over 20 years. Nicola is dedicating hertime to learning about and teaching Energy Therapies thatcan be used for self-healing. You can reach Nicola at 403-815-7009 in Calgary or go to her website atwww.ourhealingpower.com

If you areunable to meet, in your mind, at that time, do yourAffirmations and ask that they be sent to the 11:00 o'clock.

Upon request I will be delighted to email you The NightlyAffirmation/Prayer or you may print it off from my website www.annemarieevers.com

Dear Dr. Evers,

How can I assist my body in the healing process? I dobelieve that healing is possible, but when I feel so veryill, I find it very difficult to say my Affirmations---saying Iam healthy, when I really feel that I am not. It is mywish to be perfectly healthy and I am having troubleaccepting my healing, when others are suffering. I feel soundeserving. Any light you can shed on this situation willbe much appreciated.

~ Leslie, Computer Programmer, Edmonton, AB ~

Dear Leslie,

Thank you or your email. First of all, you DO deserve tobe healthy, happy, loved and prosperous. This is youbirthright. You need to recognize it, accept it and stepinto your Magic Magnetic Circle of Love, health, happinessand prosperity.

The 1% Solution

When I was interviewing a wonderful man on one of myradio shows he related the following story.

He said, "You know Dr. Evers, it is hard, if not downrightimpossible for me to be lying in a hospital bed in excruciating pain with a tube sticking out of my nose andone out of my belly and saying, "I am 100% healthy." Icould not do it-the gap was just TOOOO big! So I devisedthe following method and it worked wonders for me.

ASK Dr. Evers- The Affirmation Doctor

Ask Dr. Evers is a regular feature in The Violet Ray. Contact Dr. Evers at1-877-923-3476 or send your questions to: [email protected]

Even if your question does not appearhere, Dr. Evers will answer each one in theorder in which it is received.

I said to myself every day out loud with great feeling,energy, belief and expectancy, "Today I am 1% betterthan I was yesterday." You know, he said, "It started towork. After about a month, I felt o much better that Iwas able to sit up in bed and eat. So I thought to myselfI am on to something here. I kept on affirming the samestatement, over and over. Today I am 1% better than Iwas yesterday. Well in 90 days I was 90% better and in100 days I was 100% healthy!".

Now he travels to organizations, clubs and churches andtells his story and of other positive events that haveoccurred in his life motivating others to do the same. Thisway he WAS assisting his body with the built-in healingprocess.

You see his mind was able and in fact DID accept thestatement that he was 1% better as it was certainlybelievable. I asked him if I could share his story and hesaid, "Please, by all means do share it as it could helpanother person the way it helped me." This process convinced his subconscious mind, who was always listening, that it was okay and believable to be 1% bettertoday than he was yesterday and it set about to makethat statement come true and it did!

So Leslie please do this process and let me know the outcome. You are in my prayers and Affirmations.

Love and Affirmation Blessings,Dr. Anne Marie Evers

Where does Sickness Come From?

Did you know that some scientists are now believing andsharing with the public that sickness begins in the energyfield and in the mind about 18 months before it manifestsin the physical body? Your body possesses an astonishingability to restore and recreate itself. You regenerate acompletely new liver every six months; many diseasescan be reversed with the proper steps.

Every seven years, all the cells in your body are totallyrenewed. In this continual regeneration of the physicalbody, you have numerous daily opportunities to stimulatehealing and improve your health. This can be accomplished by practising the Affirmation Method, exercising, getting enough sleep, meditating, reducingnegative stress and eating properly.

Use your wonderful mind-power for healing. Your mindholds the power to trigger this fantastic, natural, healing

By Dr. Anne Marie Evers


ability. Every thought and emotion you experience causesa chemical response in your organs, bloodstream, andimmune system. Repressed negative emotions may trigger disease; positive thoughts and feelings can helpfacilitate healing.

Many medical people are adding positive, powerfulAffirmations to their patients' prescriptions, with wonderful results. One reader who had chemotherapytreatment for cancer walked out of her doctor's officewith a positive thinking book. Her doctor told her to readit and visualize movies in her mind to heal her body.

Your body believes every word you say and your wordsand thoughts control your health. Conversations with selfand others have a lasting impact and impression on howyou feel today and how you will feel tomorrow. Words arevery powerful. Watch your self-talk!

NOT YOUR SICKNESS

Sickness is not your inheritance! Refrain from referring toany negative health condition in your life as yours. Wehave all heard people say, "My arthritis gets worse in thewinter, or "My migraine headache is driving me nuts."Why make these negative health problems yours? Theyare not yours. Give them away.

I have given many headaches, backaches, and other painto the floor, the table, or a chair, asking that the pain berecycled into positive energy. Visualize pain disappearingfrom your healthy body. Most disease and pain is causedfrom negative stress, bad habits, improper eating, andnegative emotions. Some people can relax and let tensionseep out of their bodies by watching a fire in a fireplace.

Others unwind with a brisk walk in the fresh air amongthe trees; still others find peace watching the wavescaress the shore at some white, sandy beach.

Negative thoughts of pain and disease have no place inyour body. Negative thoughts, though invisible, are verypowerful, nonetheless.

Be patient when doing your Affirmations. If you areunwell, remember that it may have taken a lifetime to putyour body into that unhealthy state.

The ABCs of Health

A - Always accept responsibility for your health. Learnabout and understand the full nature of any disease withwhich you may have been diagnosed. Always be conscious of what you can do to assist your body incleansing, healing, and revitalizing.

B - Be yourself. Never attempt to copy others. You areunique. Believe disease can be cured and be willing toexplore various avenues of healing. Listen to the adviceof your healthcare practitioner and other well-meaningpeople. After careful consideration, make your own decisions. The Internet is a great source of valuable information about virtually every subject.

C - Cleanse your mind of negative emotions, and bodyof harmful drugs, negative thoughts, emotions, or chemicals. Drugs, prescribed or otherwise, act as poisonsin your system. Toxins form a part of every chronic,degenerative disease. Forgive, release and let go of negativity.

Speak positively to yourself through Affirmations. Positive,directed spoken words are thoughts that create invisible,wondrous power and work to create your desired result-perfect health. Your body, mind, and soul are connected.What your mind thinks, your body feels. Emotional paincauses physical pain and, in time, this can cause disease.

Give Yourself Permission to be Healthy.

Permission-to-Be-Healthy Agreement

"I, (your name), hereby give myself permission to be100% healthy. I now release, forgive and let go of allforms of negativity past or present. I deserve, create, andhave health and happiness in my life. I believe in myselfand my abilities. I am safe and protected. I enjoy doingmy Affirmations regularly. I take responsibility for learningmore about my body and my health. I seek out andemploy ways to improve my health daily. I enjoy relaxing,meditating, and exercising. I love myself unconditionally. Iaccept and approve of myself. I allow myself to be me. Iam happy to the good of all parties concerned. Thankyou, thank you, thank you."

I Fully Accept: Signed: __________________________________ Witness: _________________________________

When you sign your name, you say, "Yes, I validate,accept, and agree with this permission slip. I am awarethat no one else has a signature just like mine." You have just created a firm and binding document with yourself, your subconscious mind, God, Universal Mind, or whomever you believe in.

separate from our environment and therefore may communicate with the stone people, plant people, treepeople, mountains, stars and ancestors at any given time.We need only observe and listen. When we listen fromour heart connected to spirit we see the brilliance of whowe are. In that moment we have no need to look for any'thing' to fix us, or fill us, as we 'are' everything we need.

This is an Oral tradition. Wediscipline our selves to be present and 'become' what weare learning rather than recordit for future reference. Havingfaith that we will rememberwhat is needed at the righttime. Once we insist on writingeverything down we attempt toquantify the limitlessness ofspirit and in that moment wecreate limits. How come somany of us are seekinganswers in heart based nativetraditions, only to turn aroundand make them into

quantifiable western traditions that are all from the head?Our spirits are so hungry, yet in our quest to quantify weend up consuming ourselves. Our belief that spiritualenlightenment can be purchased has made room formany false prophets in our world. Our certainty thatanother will show us the right way to pray, to "be" in thisworld, has caused us to loose sight of our intuitive placeof knowing. This is not for sale. We cannot buy it. Wehave to slow down, shut up and listen. Without worry,without fear.

As I learned to be still enough to allow who I am tounfold, I started to honestly observe my surroundings.Where I had once assumed that many teachers, andhealers with 'power' had honed in on a relationship withspirit that I was not privy too; I saw instead that many ofthem were 'winging it'! Full of doubt! Yes, I had been theone who had put them on pedestals and made theseassumptions. I had thought that books on the best sellerslist at chapters was the spiritual doctorate required! OrShaman on a business card was true. (why would someone lie?!) And though some I knew personally hadnot demonstrated who they were by HOW they lived theirlives, I had made excuses for them. I had not wanted tosee them. I also had not been willing to see the Marketthat spirituality is. Or perhaps my ego dictated that 'my'path was sacred and separate from the paths of exploitation. Ha..ha..ha.., the joke was on me! As I integrated the process of the medicine wheel I saw thatthere are no excuses. We all have everything we want.

My adventures of exploration in the realm of spiritualenlightenment has gracefully shown me the shadows thataccompany the light.… I have come to see how importantit is to ask questions. How is it we decide who holdsauthority on spiritual wisdom, and why do we give themthat role? Is it the soul loss permeating our culture thatleads us to believe someone outside of ourselves candefine our personal connection with spirit? And with thatexpectation what then do we assume of those that holdthe power?

I had naively believed in a universal consensus amongsthealers, that we all honoured that which is sacred in thisworld. (you know, an etheric gathering over tea, wherewe all said, "yeah I know this is about oneness.. abouthealing, I won't let my ego get in the way!") I supposesome may argue that sacred is a matter of perspective.However there are some universal truths that hold strong.Honesty and integrity are great examples. I think they arealso called a code of ethics. My naiveté brought me somegreat teachers, and provided me with opportunities toremove my rose colored glasses and observe what isgoing on around me. (Thank God!) I saw how importantit is to consider, what is being bought, what is beingsold…At what cost..

With an ache to understand who I am, and a desire tocast off any fears that stood in my way, I began theprocess of moving through the Inca Medicine wheel sometwo years past. It is there that I had the honour of meeting and training with Denise Kinch a medicinewoman from MA. She trained personally with Don ManuelQuispe, Holy Man and Altomesayok of the Q'ero Indiansof Peru. She teaches very differently from what we expecthere in the west. She presents it as an offering. And if wechoose all the tools are given to create our own healing.She will not hold your hand, fix it for you, or repeat whatshe has taught. Absolute presence is required. Thoughyou may pay for the 3-day weekend, you cannot pay for the medicine. Choosing to become it means reweaving the fabric of your being, which takes time, and meansdoing your homework. This is the Mountain Medicine ofthe Q'ero.

Don Manuel believed the healing of our world wouldcome from the west. A way for us from the West to takeresponsibility for the current state of our planet. So hespent his life time training as many 'westerners' as possible. Denise was with him in his last consciousmoment where he asked her to continue this importantwork and bequeathed her his lineage. The Q'ero comefrom the mountain Huaman Reaper and are known as themasters of energy medicine. The beauty of their tradition lies in its simplicity. They recognise that we are not

AccreditationRecognition

Registration

We've created it, conscious or not. Be it Drama or suffering, peace or bliss. Own it!

Don Manuel asked us to look closely at our teachers, andthose who are leaders in this world. How they walk intheir personal lives is the only way to observe what isreal. What is their relationship with their family, theirpartners, their communities, their work? Do they embodywho they say they are? Talk is cheap.

In Peru there are not many Q'ero learning the mountainmedicine anymore. They are hungry for what we have inthe west. Funny how that works. Yet we will buy anything, so we are sold variations of their traditions, halfinvented by western shaman and called whatever theyfeel like calling it at the time, as we will believe and wewill pay. Why do we do that? Q'ero are hired to performhealing ceremonies as real 'legitimate' medicine peopleand we assume that their clothes and their languageauthenticate the experience. No questions asked. ASKQUESTIONS! Use your ability to observe! Ask your selfabout ceremony, what is it for and what purpose does itserve. Especially if you are participating in it! To a medicine person, this is a sacred thing not to be takenlightly, not to be done for show. It is an elder who's lifetime's dedication gives him the ability to call the winds,to serve the Ayllu (community). How old are these Q'eroMedicine People?

In my heart I needed to honour the gifts of this medicineby connecting with it's country. As an apprenticingteacher, an etheric understanding is not enough for me. IfI want to embody it, I have to have breathed it in fromthe soil of its birth, bathed in the waters of it's rivers andwalked next to the stars in the mountains of its ancestors. We have chosen a human, physical incarnationfor a reason. And this is Mountain Medicine. When I participated in ceremony on the mountain of Ausangatewith Don Manuels son, I was able to see a fraction ofwhat it means to be a mountain person. When I walkedwith him on the mountain and sat with him by our Llamapoo fire, again I saw a glimpse of what it truly means.…And this is only a glimpse.

So this brings me to the question, can someone be teaching and offering an indigenous tradition when theyhave not physically connected with that land. Is it possible? As teachers we need to ask ourselves what ouragenda is, and what is it we think we are 'selling'. As students we need to ask ourselves what we are 'buying'.Are we hooked by a great sales pitch, or by our personalhunger? Is our need to be healed once again consumingus? Are we allowing ourselves to be bought and sold?What is your price?

Dear Irene,

I have to tell you about my toilet dreams and they happened two nights in a row. Can you make any senseof this for me please?

A. In the first dream the toilet had no seat on it and wasparked on the road (the cars were parallel parked.) I saton it, did my thing and then couldn't figure how to do theafter stuff and I had on a big coat; so that gave me trouble plus people were standing around and then I hadto flush without anyone seeing. I ended up leaving not asclean as I would have liked.

B. In the second dream I had a choice of toilets and onewas in front of a window with a light overhead; one fancyone was further back but in the shadows and one was ina room marked for kids that I wouldn't go into. I didn'tuse any of them even though I needed to.

What do these dreams mean?

~ Thank you, Marilyn. K., B.C. ~

Dear Marilyn,

I am happy to offer you some insight on the toiletdreams, as they are fairly common in dreams. Ultimatelyevery symbol in your dreams is unique to you for its personal meaning and understanding. I have broken yourdream down at the symbols and I hope my suggestionsresonate with you and bring some clarity.

Blessings, Irene

# 1: In one the toilet had no seat...- This may mean that you in your waking life you have

no place to sit that's comfortable for you to do "yourbusiness", or even to do your job.

…perhaps this means you just have no time to sitin your waking life right now and you are toobusy/stressed to find a place to sit and reflect withany great comfort. - Sitting is often a time for us to take a deliberate time

out and rest and if your life is too hectic it could easilycause this type of dream to give you the message thatyou need to take a well needed break.

…on it and was parked on the (road the cars were parallel parked. I sat on it, did my thing - The road is always symbolic of our personal journey

and you may be feeling "crappy" about your life or relationships right now and you don't want to lingerthere.- With the other cars (people on the journey with you)

being parallel parked; this may show that you are out ofsync with those around you. These things could be yourdaily routines or issues you "have to take care of").

…and then couldn't figure how to do the after stuff- Other stuff can be some other related life worries or

upsets that are causing you mental distress.

…and had on a big (coat; so that gave me trouble,- Coats offer protection, warmth, and a great cover up to

those who may be watching in the outside world. Thecoat giving you trouble is possibly something you want tohide and you are not able to cover it up as easily as youthought.

… plus people were standing around and then Ihad to flush without anyone seeing. I ended upleaving not as clean as I would have liked. - What if not feeling clean represented how you felt

about an aspect of your business or personal life or withsomeone you are not comfortable with or feel uncertainabout? - Not knowing what to do about the "after stuff" also

makes you feel even more "crappy" and unclean.

# 2. Then last night I had a choice of toilets andone was in front of a window with a light over-head;

Biography


- Having to make choices in our life is a constant andstressful part of our existence and knowing or seeing thatyou have choices and recognizing that fact is good. - Windows are vision and clarity about our world.

Looking into a window can be looking within yourself andyour motivations; looking outwards is looking at externalcircumstances and a more extravert view of ourselves; - Light brings illumination, perhaps on this second night

you are seeing a "crappy" situation with more clarity orseeing things you don't like in your life with more clarity;seeing the light can mean seeing the results of something. A light in a dream is also about seeing andknowing who we really are or how to improve on who weare or what we are dealing with.

… one fancy light was further back but in theshadows and one was in a room marked for kidsthat I wouldn't go into. I didn't use any of themeven though I needed to.- Light(s) can mean the manifesting of truth, divinity or

direct knowledge and often this knowledge comes beyondform and appears as energy or spirit that comes to us indreams and it visualizes in our dreams as light. - As there were some shadows, this could mean that

there is something, someone, etc. that is not is clear as itcould be. More light on a situation may be needed soyou can make a decision on whether or not to ("use") orneed to use something around you. - Being as something was marked for kids could identify

the "who" and what of the shadows and light around youright now. Are you holding something back?

I hope this helps in some way and that the toilet dreamshave stopped. If there is anymore I can do, please contact me through the Violet Ray at [email protected]

Spring & Fall Cleansing & Detoxifying

The springtime is the perfect time for cleansing anddetoxifying your body to get back into shape. Detoxifyingmedicine is an ancient concept that appears as part ofmany health care systems around the world.

As a treatment detoxifying and cleansing your system ismore important today than ever before because in addition to the health problems humans been experiencing for thousands of years, we are now exposedto a huge variety of environmental poisons. Disease fromtoxicity is caused by the presence of bio-chemicals thatpoison the blood and spread via the circulation system.As a result, cells and tissues are literally "swimming" in acontaminated environment. Detoxification is a treatmentregimen that cleans the blood and removes toxin fromthe body. One of the body's natural means of stayinghealthy is its ability to detoxify itself. The organs of detoxification are the liver, kidneys, bowels, lungs andskin. Avoiding harmful substances such as fast food "junkfood", pop drinks, drugs, tobacco, as well as supportingthe organs in their detoxifying action is vital in maintaining and restoring health. Sufficient fluid intakesupports the eliminating function of the kidneys, the bowels and the skin.

We often forget the skin's function as a detoxifyingorgan, and yet many therapies rest on this ability, including the ever more becomingpopular infrared sauna which promotessweating. Fever is a natural means oftoxin elimination during sickness. Theheat triggers chemical reactions thatenhances the immune system, anddestroys bacteria and viruses. As ayoung child I had often fever and mymother gave me always pure elderberry juice, heated it up and addedlemon juice and honey to it. This furtherincreased my own healing power andovernight I sweat it all out and the fever wasgone the next morning!

Most people have amalgam mercury fillings in their teethand ecosystem, anaerobic bacteria in their root canals,abnormal bacterial flora in their guts from antibiotics, leadin their bones from years when leaded gasoline fuelledour cars and machines, and drugs in their bloodstreamthat throw liver metabolism out of balance. You probablyread about the three politicians in Ottawa who had acheck-up and had up to 55 toxic poisons in their blood!

Toxins damage the cells of the body and are invisible andinsidious. They break-down the "in-vironment" of all thebody systems at the cellular level. This happens slowlyday-by-day, year after year and it is difficult to detectuntil the actual onset of disease. There are many

detoxifying programs offered and here is another way tocleanse and detoxify your body with the Milk Thistlesingle tincture and even more effective is the Milk Thistle combo tincture, available in 50ml and 100mlbottles with the following attributes:

The Milk Thistle seeds regenerate liver cells, stimulatesthe flow of bile, protects the liver from damage of hepatitis, has been known to reverse damage caused byalcoholism and drug abuse, helps repair and reverse cirrhosis of the liver.

The Dandelion root aids the formation of bile, is adiuretic with naturally high potassium level, acts toremove poisons from the body and is a blood purifier. The Nettle leaf is great in building and cleansing theblood, expels gravel from the bladder, excellent for kidneyailments, high in essential vitamins and minerals andimproves mucus conditions in the lungs.

The Cat's Claw bark a anti-inflammatory therapy in thetreatment of all kinds of inflammations, has been showngreatly diminishing the mutagenic substances of tobaccofound in the urine of cigarette smokers, helps inhibit thegrowth of cancer cells, boosts the immune system and

works against Crohn's disease, ulcers, asthma andfibromyalgia.

Herbal tinctures are a great way to get theherbs you need without unnecessaryfillers and other synthetics that make uppressed tablets, gel caps or capsules.The tincture is instantly absorbed intoyour bloodstream and therefore veryeffective. Combo herbal tinctures arevery potent and powerful since the

liquid herbal extract works synergistically as a unit together.

Suggested dosage: 20 - 40 drops threestime daily.

Here is another suggestion called the Seneca IndianCleansing Diet, that is easy on your body from the book"Ageless Remedies from Mother's Kitchen", by HannaKroeger, The Grandmother of Health, 1915 - 1998, established the first health food store in USA in 1957.

Detoxifying Diet

First day:Eat only fruits and all you want, try apples, berries,watermelon, pears, peaches, cherries, whole citrus fruits,and so forth, no bananas please!

Second day:Drink all the herb teas you want, such as raspberries,

By Klaus Ferlow


The Tempesthyssop, chamomile, peppermint, elderberry, rosehip,etc.,you may sweeten the teas slightly with honey, maplesyrup or stevia.

Third day:Eat all vegetables you want, have them raw, steamed orboth.

Fourth day:Make a big pot of vegetable broth by boiling cauliflower,cabbage, onion, green pepper, parsley, or whatever youhave available. Season with Himalayan crystal or sea saltor vegetable broth cubes. Drink only this rich mineralbroth all day long.

This diet has the following effect:The first day the colon (your wastebasket) is cleansed. The second day you release toxins, salt and excessive calcium deposits in the muscles, tissues and organs.The third day the digestive tract is supplied with healthful, mineral rich bulk. On the fourth day the blood,lymph and inner organs are mineralized. That makes a lot of sense to me!

The The Violet FlameViolet Flame And WarAnd WarBy Jean Sinclair

Often people have been heard to ask, "Why does God notprevent war?" "Why did God allow my loved one to die?""Why doesn't God prevent these things?"

To answer these questions one needs to have a trueunderstanding of God as the Source of all life.

The energy flowing from the Source is like a river oflight. This light energy flows along creating wondrous patterns we know of as aspects of ourliving world. Sound, colour and material formsare the observable God. Man is made in theimage of God, as beings of Light. To think ofGod as in the image of man is in error.

Mankind has free will, which means thefree will to live in the flow of living lightenergy or not.

One person who is on the way to commitan unkind act may stop to look at thebeauty of a flower, a tangible emanation ofthe love and illumination of the Source,and then may be so filled with the beautyas to change course and let go of unkindthoughts and deeds. Another person whois on the way of destruction may not noticethe simple beauty of Creation and continue tomaim or kill.

All energy moves in circles, or spirals, the inexorable law of life. Whatever thoughts words oractions we create cause a momentum of energy, justas the original Source created life. Our energy werelease returns in kind, for if we sent out energy of goodwill it circles out to attract more of its kind andreturns multiplied but the power of ten as blessings,according to what we know as the law of karma.

Often we think of karma as only being negative, for ourunkind thoughts, feelings and actions return, multipliedby the power of ten, as unfortunate incidents in our lives.

As well as individual karma, we have results of groupkarma and planetary karma which affect everyone, therefore some innocent people suffer as the result ofother people's choices. However, our reactions to incidents also create our personal karma, therefore forgiveness is an important quality of life for our personalblessings.

Eventually, all energy returns to its source. This is thejudgment of God and the mercy of God. All eventuallyreap the rewards of their actions.

We are co-creators with God because we are part of theSource and are in the image of the Source.

Since we live in this physical level of the Cosmos we arethe ones who are responsible for the causes and effectson this level. Therefore it is our right and responsibilityto use our energy to prevent war and cataclysm,

beginning with each individual person.

The teaching about the high vibrating violet light ispart of the mercy of God. Since the violet ray ofthe spectrum is the highest vibration we canperceive, this is the quality of light that we useto transmute negative energies, buoying upour world with light and love.

When we make use of violet flame visualization with decrees and mantras wecan mitigate destructive energies. For thisreason the violet flame is called the mercyflame or the freedom flame as it frees usfrom past misuses of energy (which hasbeen called sin).

The Science of the Spoken Word is the studyof constructive use of the violet ray for personal and world peace. By saying "I AM a

being of violet fire! I AM the purity Goddesires!" or "The earth is a planet of violet fire!

The earth is the purity God desires!" while centred in the heart and visualizing a grand

bonfire of violet light engulfing all, we can help create a better life on earth. We are saying "God in meis…" for we are a part of the great I AM THAT I AM, thename of God given to Moses.

There is really no time or space and our calls reach all oflife everywhere when we speak the Word aloud. "Thoushalt decree a thing and it shall be so", given in the bookof Job, is our reason for giving decrees for the world.

Lessons OfThe Drum

By: Nadine Gordon

My heart is my drum. Today, I sit within this beautifulsacred safe-place and feel its power. Regretfully, I realizeI have spent too much time in my head this has thrownme off balance.

Sometimes, unbalanced demeanor happens when we areunable to detach ourselves from imagined problems orfool ourselves into thinking a problem isn't even ours.We conjure up pain, fall into negative behaviors and create drama that effects us badly because we fear truehappiness, success and love then design tests for ourselves to see if our imagined idea of perfection is really that good. Perhaps, we don't trust that we arereally worthy of all. What is all? I will face the northeastdirection and invite the deer family into my heart to solvethis dilemma.

Commercialism has taught us that all is having morethan, or bigger and better than our neighbors. We striveselfishly ahead attempting to obtain more because we areafraid of how we'll be judged if we do not keep up withthe rest of society. Society has also taught us that theremust be a winner or a loser, it is either right or wrongand that it is all or nothing. Sharing is unheard of, andno gray area exists therefore apparently, it is never okayto be yourself or to be thankful for what you alreadyhave. Endless competition to one up our neighborsleaves us with empty lives devoid of intimate relationshipsand friendships even with ourselves. Our society hasbecome solely about money but commercialism keeps usblind to our real needs by telling us that we are nevergood enough.

Commercialism hits us at our ego level. Our egos pummel us then strip us of our serenity. When we looseour peace of mind, we become enablers. We are unhappy.

Jealousy, anger, envy and gossip are hurtful attributescaused by unhappiness. These attributes enable rage.When rage is not contained, it becomes abuse. We as asociety have become blind to abuse. We have beentaught that emotions are weak. So, we turn a blind eyeto those in pain. Fear keeps us from being involved so wepretend that it's okay for people in pain to display inappropriate behavior then never expect them to beresponsible. We cover up for them by telling untruths andbecome weaker than they are. We volunteer to becomevictims when we allow bullies or those in our vicinity to

intimidate us. Sometimes people in our families, ourfriends, or our leaders are the ones who use intimidatingtechniques. At other times a co-worker but unprofessionalconduct or lack of integrity is never addressed becausewe fool ourselves into believing we are powerless. It isour ego's tendency to finally tell us that we have becometoo wounded to continue; therefore we may victimizeourselves some more through alcoholism, drug abuse orgambling. All have become acceptable norms in our society but since commercialism tells us that it's okay tonumb ourselves this way, the negative cycle continues.We have become enablers because we believe what commercialism tells us. Money is all.

We have learned to believe those out there with moremoney have more power. Our perceptions of others clogreality to become our illusions. And, we have deludedourselves into thinking money is power to such an extentthat to gain more of it, we must be in a continual state ofcompetition. You are either a winner or a loser. You areeither right or wrong. There is no middle. You are richor you are poor. Our society has sold out and at whatcost? Is this all?

This is not all. Wake-up!

The deer family reminds us that the pain of others has anaffect on us because it is confusing. We must learn tolovingly detach from others prior to solving our own emotional dilemmas.

It is part of the Universal plan to make mistakes but learnfrom them and strive not to hurt others because of yourown pain. Use the northeast direction to design newenergy. Treat others, as you would like to be treated andtreat yourself the same way. Have the courage to speakup when injustice occurs. Become selfless not selfish;share. All is sharing.

We are all connected. We are all energy.

Remember: Love is given. Trust is earned. Knowledge islearning. Wisdom is doing. This is our wake-up call!

Male Breast Cancer

By Joette Lees

In 2008 The American Cancer Society predicts that forapproximately every 100 women with breast cancer, 1man will develop the disease. The male breast is similarin characteristics to the preadolescent girl's breast.Statistics show that the chances for successful treatmentand survival are best when breast cancer is found in itsearliest stages. Statistics also show that more men willdie from breast cancer than women because they are typically diagnosed at a later stage.

Breast cancer isn't just a woman's disease. Men also have breast tissue that can undergo cancerous changes.Knowing the signs and symptoms of breast cancerincrease the chances for recovery.

The most common sign of breast cancer is a lump orthickening in the breast. Often the lump is painless. Many people excuse it as a weight lifting injury. Othermale breast cancer symptoms include:

- Skin dimpling or puckering. - Development of a new retraction or indentation of

the nipple. - Changes in the nipple or breast skin, such as scaling

or redness. - Nipple discharge; clear or bloody.- Small painful lump usually beneath the areola

(dark circle around the nipple). - Palpable lymph nodes in the armpit.

Having one or even several risk factors doesn't necessarily mean you'll get cancer. Some men with morethan one risk factor never get breast cancer, whereas others with no identifiable risk factors do.

Factors that may make a man more susceptible tobreast cancer include:

Age - breast cancer increases with age.

Family history - such as a mother or sister; nearly 20 percent of breast cancers are inherited. Defects in oneof several genes, especially BRCA1 or BRCA2 put you atgreater risk of developing breast and prostate cancers.

Socioeconomic Status - higher in graduates, professionals and managers

Testicular Disorders - physical, infection or injury

Gynecomastia - excessive growth of male mammaryglands

Radiation - exposure to radiation associated with treatment of childhood disease

Klinefelter's Syndrome - rare disorder characterized byabnormal chromosome pattern (xxy)

Liver disease - such as cirrhosis of the liver

Excess weight - fat cells convert androgens into estrogen, increasing the amount of estrogen in your bodyand, therefore, your risk of breast cancer.

Excessive use of alcohol - if you drink heavy amountsof alcohol you have a greater risk of breast cancer.

To diagnose breast cancer your doctor may conduct anumber of tests including breast examination (clinicalbreast exam), mammograms (mammography), breastultrasound, nipple discharge examination, biopsy and/orother tests.

Breast cancer in men is generally treated the same as it is in women. In most cases no one right treatment exists.Instead it is best to find the approach that's best suitedconsidering the stage of the cancer and the man's age.

Before making any decisions, learn as much as you canabout the many treatment options. Some men may needonly surgery. Others will need surgery and additionaltreatments such as radiation, chemotherapy, hormonetherapy and /or alternative therapy.

To help reduce your risk of breast cancer, learn and practice breast self examinations on the same day everymonth, maintain a healthy body weight, reduce stress,eat a healthy diet, get regular exercise and avoid heavyalcohol use. Early detection also increases your chancesof surviving the disease. So if you develop a breast lumpor other abnormality, seek prompt care.

Certain challenges for males with the diagnosis of breastcancer and the follow-up treatment may become present.The psychosocial impact of a male getting a recognized"female disease" can impact his masculinity. As with abreast cancer diagnosis in females, a man, may experience feeling alone and helpless. Breast cancer is anillness. Supporting a person when genetic or environmental illnesses occur is imperative.

From The Ground Up - By Abrah Arneson

When I first started my academic training in herbal medicine, I was working in palliative care and it was thefirst time that I cared for a womandying of breast cancer. My heart continually ached. The physical pain ofthe woman, the emotional pain of herfamily and friends, the cancer's ravishing hunger that devoured herbreasts, spine and brain, made me feelhopeless, vulnerable and scared. Duringthis time, I was writing 250 plant monographs. A monograph describesthe how's, whys and what's of a plant'smedicinal uses.

It was a spring morning, when I wrote Viola odorata'smonograph, noting that a tea of the flowers, as well as apoultice, was a traditional remedy for breast cancer. Theimage of the flowers overlaying the ulcers on thewoman's breasts appealed to me.

That afternoon, my lab, Gracie, dragged me from mystudies and took me out to the field that grew wild nearmy home. The spring sun was warm on my skin. Lastyears tall brown grasses were still standing, the green ofthis year's plants were poking up through the matte thatcovered the field. Where shadows lingered all day, theground was still cold and moist. My mind turned to thewoman who I cared, her pain, my fear, the hopelessness,as it often did in quiet moments. It was then that I sawthe violets reaching for the warmth of sun, reachingthrough last year's matted dead undergrowth. Wild violets. Delicate and fragile, Royal Purple, hardy andunabashedly celebrating spring. The violets offered up agentle scent. They were the harmony of strength andfragility, boldness and vulnerability, sweetness and determination. Their presence openned the door of theache I guarded in my heart and let joy in. It was thenthat I realized plant medicine was more than chemicals,more than teas and tinctures, formulas, and traditions.Plant medicine is about the rich relationship betweenhumans and plants. Its about a relationship as old ashumanity. Plant medicine is about life. The next day, Itook her African violets. She loved them.

The The VioletVioletJourneyJourney

Am I Alone?

The misunderstandings are notwanted, but when they are, thereis pain and hurt. Everyone needs

to be wanted and belong. The belonging is what we all strive for.

- J.C. -

Writing for Peter

I sat and ate, that was all that I could think to do. It waseasy for me; I had been doing it many times and bymyself. There was no other way. It was me just me, therewas no one to sit with me or across from me. I grabbedfor the pepper cause there was no one to ask for it. I justreached and didn't ask.

There was the paper, I could reach for that too. It wassitting off to the side and it was almost waiting for me.There was comfort, yes always with the paper, really, anynewspaper. That was what I could always count on, daily.I never bought it but I could come here, it was here forme. Sometimes left with stains and crumpled from othersbefore me. But I really thought it was mine, all mine. Iknew it somehow belonged to me.

There was a time, the other day; the guy in the nexttable took it. Dam was I ever mad; I couldn't help butreport him to the girl at the front. She usually workedwhen I was here, everyday about this time, 11:30 am.She couldn't believe the guy took it, I knew she thoughtlike me, we have to share, what is this anyway? Howdare he, to take my paper? Well, he had to share!

The girl that works here is always happy. She makes mysandwich the way I like it, with extra butter and mayonnaise. She makes sure I get a place to sit too; Ithink she knows I belong here. She comes running especially for me, to clean off my table that is if someonehasn't taken it from me first. I think she needs a raise,but I hear the boss is too cheap.

Just like my old man and mom they didn't give, theyalways took. And took everything when they passed.They must have forgotten about us kids. I never toldthem how I felt, why bother? They just did what they

wanted; never thought a minute of how my sister and Ifelt about anything. Never cared to either. Now she isgone and I am alone. Alone? Well, without them, maybenot such a bad thing.

Now, I sit here and wait for someone. Someone, but Idon't know who? There is a young boy, I kinda know hismother, she never says hi to me, but he does. He stopsby my table and wants to sit but I think his mom says'no' with the way she looks at him. But he does say hiand show me whatever toy he brings in with him. Thelast time he had a picture of his dog, Joey I think.Seemed like a nice dog, I wish he would bring him in.Maybe sometime he will.

I remember I never had a dog, not even a cat or bird.Mom and dad wouldn't allow us to. They never wanted usto have anything of our own. They didn't even wantfriends for us. They said that they would track in mud orthey might want to stay for supper. So my sister and Ijust did our own thing. Just together.

Today, I am going to order the special, I think I cansplurge. I got a few extra dollars on my work cheque,Christmas bonus they tell us. No party though or present,just the bonus. I guess they want the best for us. I usedto know a few of the guys there but most of them areyounger, yeah, too young to talk to. Plus, they just seemto do their own thing, not knowing what to discuss Iguess.

Married? I was never married nor cared to. I guess seeing my parent's relationship left me feeling why bother. And no kids either and I would know that one.So, no family for me. I don't miss it but I do wish I hadsomeone to eat with, every once in awhile.

I wonder if someone will sit with me soon. I have been tothis same restaurant for over four years. Everyone looksthe other way when I come in. Maybe they don't care tosay hello. I try to keep myself clean, so I don't think thatis it. Maybe I have to take the first step and say something, just anything.

Maybe it is Peter that needs to take the first step or perhaps others could be more observant of those aroundthem, regardless, it appears that sometimes others in ourdaily lives are alone, truly alone. Should we reach outmore? Perhaps just a simple hello. Or are we enclosingourselves away from others because of fears or simply wehave no time?

Dear Sharyn,

I am in a pursuit of my spiritual life and happiness.Recently, I have been thinking of why we are here, whysome people are not privileged at all and some peopleare very privileged in this world. Just a few days ago forthe first time I came across the Violet Ray magazine, andI read your responses to some of the questions peoplehad. I have a lot of questions about my life and life ingeneral but I just ask two of the questions that havemade my mind very busy.

With all the things that have happened in the world andcrime in my city I am very concerned and worried aboutthe safety of my family and friends. Every single day I amthinking that I don't want to see anybody close to meseverely ill or harmed. It seems that I don't have anycontrol over things and I am always worried about that.How can I make sure that bad things do not happen tomy friends, family and myself? Thanks

Hi Shar,

Thanks for the questions. You will notice I am onlyresponding here to one of them, and will attempt torespond to the other by personal email to you directly.

We all worry at times about those around us, hoping theywill not have to suffer misfortune. It is human nature towant those around you to do well, be well and be happy.The truth about life though is that we all must walk ourown walk in our lives. That means that we have no control over the plight or fate of others, we only havecontrol over our lives and ourselves. We are certainlyable to stand in support of a friend or relative who isstruggling, and we can love them completely. We justcan't fix all the things that may be going wrong for them.This has a lot to do with Universal Laws that guide anddirect us in our human journey on earth. Let me sharean example with you of a client I had and his story. I willcall him Pete (not his real name).

Pete used to come to me for regular reflexology sessions.He was around age 60, overweight and diagnosed diabetic, which he handled through diet and pills. He wasconcerned it wouldn't be long before he would be oninjections. In our reflex sessions we would also chat and

Pete made several references to his son. He would comment that he had to send his son money because histruck broke down. The next time he sent him moneybecause he couldn't pay his rent, another time it wasbecause he had lost his job. This went on for severalmonths until one day I asked Pete, "How old is yourson?" He replied, "He is thirty-one." I asked, "How longhas he had trouble dealing with money?" "Oh," Petereplied, "since he was seventeen he was never good withmoney."

I could see this was draining Pete, both emotionally andfinancially and made a suggestion. It was also affectinghis health and his self-esteem, as he felt responsible forhis son. I suggested that if he had allowed his son toexperience poverty at seventeen, perhaps he would havelearned to deal better with money at the age of thirty-one. Pete was shocked, and replied," but I am his fatherand it is my job to see that he is okay." When I wasable to get Pete to see how he had enabled his son tocontinue towards a course of poverty by bailing him outall the time, the lights went on for him. He stopped trying to fix everything for his son, and he loved himmore than ever. He allowed him to stand on his own sohe could make different choices and his son, after somemistakes; quickly learned how to look after his own monetary needs. As for Pete? He quit a job that wasmaking him unhappy, moved to a new community to becloser to friends, joined a weight loss program and is nolonger diabetic. He is also living closer to his son, whonow has a beautiful wife and baby girl and is doing great.

We have an obligation to our lives and we have controlover our lives - we cannot control the lives of othersbecause our lives and their lives are the result of thechoices that have been made by each of us. So Shar, ashard as it seems sometimes, allow yourself to stand backand watch with love the actions of those you love.Advice is great, but only if offered with no expectationand allow each of those and yourself the opportunity togrow through the choices you and they make. You willdiscover more strength within yourself as well as recognize the strength of others. It is your life - their lifeis theirs. Love it and live it the best way you can foryourself.

SSOOUULL IIMMPPRRIINNTTSSBByy CCaarrooll JJaayy UUcchhyyttiill

A Soul Imprint is Custom artwork that I create and Transcribe based on the energy vibrations of the client. Since energy is Universal and has no boundaries the client does not have to be present for me to create a Soul Imprint for them. There is a substantial amount of creative and intuitive energy that goes into each and every Soul Imprint. Starting with honing in on the clients energy, to creating the actual imprint, to the scanning, reading the imprint, writing / translating and finally to the minutedetails which results in the end product. The entire process takesabout 3 to 5 hours to complete.

My goal for each client is to Awaken…Inspire…and Delight… (AID)while providing them with a keepsake they are proud to display.
