old confusion

With less than 7 hours left of the 2008 I sit down topen my last column of the year. 2008 has been anexciting year of discovery, change, learning curves,growth, new friendships, treasured moments withfriends and family and extreme gratitude.

On Christmas day, my mother and I took on the projectof creating our vision boards. After several hours ofcutting out pictures and words from magazines wewere ready to carefully place them on our boards. Ihelped my mom put her board together first since Iwas so pleased she was up to this challenge. Herboard was 4 feet wide by 3 feet tall. She was verypleased with the outcome and felt that this would helpher with her health goals.

Several days earlier I had started collecting my wordsand pictures. After my mother's board was complete, Istarted on mine. Well I must say that I had so muchfun creating my vision board. The end result was 4 feetwide by 6 feet tall. I have it strategically placed in myoffice where I can see it, sit in front of it and joyfully goover every word, picture, feeling, and sensation. Lookout 2009!

A couple days later my brother, sister in-law andnephew arrived from Houston, Texas. We opened eachother's cards and gifts after they were settled in andonce again I was taken back with such gratitude for theopportunity to spend this time with them. This year isvery special since over the past 25 years we havespent so few Christmas's together due to the distancebarrier between us. So tomorrow on New Years day wewill have our turkey supper together and bring in theyear with thanks.

We express gratitude and appreciation to our interactive columnists, contributors and artists whocontinue to inspire, awaken and touch the lives of

Ursa Major, Great Bear of the Heavens. Here is how you found the pathof the Milky Way into the heavens, so that you could hear the voice of theGreat Spirit. A spider whispered to me that the path was made on thesnow covered ground and she said that it transformed into stars as yourose higher, higher. She told me that you were wounded from a battle andwhen your image dips low to the ground in the autumn, drops of yourblood turn the leaves gold, copper and red.

YYoour Spirit

GuideBy Danielle Lee

Designated at birth, your spirit guide is a divinelyessential element within the blueprint of your life.Painstaking amounts of spiritual education and superior knowledge are embedded into the very luminescent fabric of your guide's soul. Chosen onlyfor you, they embark on a mission of the utmostunselfishness and predestined path of spiritual enlightenment. They have bravely chosen to blissfullysacrifice their time, patience and existence to guideand love you throughout your journey on the earthlyplane of existence.

A spirit guide was indeed a human being, flesh andblood, existing upon the earth at one point in their eternity. It was a conscious and deliberate choice forthem to side with you as your sidekick, presenting youto the human world with pride and accomplishment astheir chosen hero.

Forever proud and dauntless in their task as guide anddivine interpreter, spirit guides try desperately to maintain your path of spirituality and lead you throughyour predetermined glories and hardships upon earth.They tirelessly, and sometimes with remorse, presentyou with life lessons that you yourself have decidedpreviously to embarking on the human journey. Theyhelp you lovingly every moment of every day to succeed in learning your precious, yet sometimespainful and repetitive, spiritual lessons.

In this day and age, these modern wingless angels areall but ignored and denied on a regular, if not alarming,basis. Hundreds of years ago, people were muchmore aware of their soul and their purpose in thedance of the divine, but nowadays, spiritual onenesshas taken a sad backseat to materialism and narcissism.

Suggesting, nudging and loving pushes in the right direction, courtesy of your guide, are blatantly ignoredin favor of selfishness and desire for perfection of the physical self. This does sadden your guide immensely,

they do not wish to see you fail time and time againdue to lack of enlightenment on the physical realm.

Thankfully, spirit guides are consistently loving andhave unending patience for the one they love asthough it were their only earth-born child. They peacefully and lovingly listen to your goals and wishes,they considerately and passionately love the ideals andpeople that you love, they praise and glorify your everyaccomplishment, they weep and grieve with every painand suffering that you must endure.

Never forget this glorious and unselfish being, filledwith light and divine love, designated and devoted toonly you and your spiritual development. This wondrous and wise entity who cried tears of joy as youentered into the earthly dimension and who will weepmixed tears of sadness and relief for you as leave theharsh human realm to return to your rightful, eternalhome. They will be the first to greet you and lead youback to the light of One.

While Canadians are familiar with synthetic fragranceoils, by and large, they have little or no knowledgeabout therapeutic health benefits of genuine, pureessential oils. Unlike North America, in Europe, highquality botanical plant derived essential oils are prescribed for internal use by medical doctors in hospitals. In the last decade essential oils havebecome a popular item, sold everywhere, which raisesthe question, “Does the consumer really know whatthey are getting?”

WWhhaatt iiss AA GGeennuuiinnee PPuurree EEsssseennttiiaall OOiill??

Essential oils are more then merely plant secretions.The evaporation of essences from plant surface is adefence mechanism against infection by bacteria, fungiand pests. Aromatic plants have a protective aura ofscent, just as all living things have an aura light. Thisaromatic aura also protects plants from excesses ofheat and cold.

To qualify as an essential oil, it must be 100% natural,preferable harvested from certified organic plants orwild crafted, and free of herbicides, pesticides andchemical fertilizer. A description of the biochemicalcompounds (using gas chromatography and massspectrometry) will confirm if an oil is 100% authenticand contaminant-free. There are five different processes for making essential oils:

- Steam distillation (this method produces the highest quality oil, but it must be slow and prolonged

- Solvent extraction- Expression- Maceration- Enfleurage

AAsssseessssiinngg QQuuaalliittyy

To assess quality, the label and/or therapeutic factsheet should have these items listed:

Complete Latin name, genus and species The distilled part: it is vital to know which of the plant(flower, leaf, bark etc.) has been distilled The chemotype: recognized internationally, and widelyused in scientific publications, chemotypes, are associated with the Latin scientific denomination,

allows the perfect comprehension of the mode of action of an essential oil, so an oil can be used correctly. The type of soil, altitude, sunlight, climate,and surrounding plant population are all elements thatinfluence the essence manufactured by the plant.

TThhee PPrriiccee

All essential oils are not created equal. The pricereflects many factors, such as the number of kilos ofplant materials needed to make an essential oil, whichis why they are sold in bottles of 5, 10 or 15 ml only.Some oils are even sold by the drop. I.E. a 1 kilo(approx. 1 litre) requires:

6 to 7 kg of clove flower buds, 50 kg of lavendin, 150kg of true lavender, or 3500 – 4000 kg of Damaskflower rose (1 hectare of roses)!

Beneath the breath of the Buffaloin a realm of safety,I unleash, unhingeseeds of words whichmay or may not grow;Dreams of you havechosen to take a form, now,surrendered to manifest;committed now to memory.

With Deer to the North,my eyes of innocencegently begin to delivera Truth, a Love, a Prayer.

They see Horse's strengthand Elk's stamina, giftswhich yield the harvest,a beautiful bounty whichfeeds and nourishes allof Creation's children.

I feel your call fora "Tender" of the garden's;I recognize the level ofvibration required tohatch the Egg of Possibilityin these Ages about to Shift.

So in passing the casing,the shell, the colorful containerof your Dreamworldto you now,I also pass on the Invitation,The Invocation, The Wish.

I extend a bounty ofcaring, compassion and Truth alongside it;and words as well-"I remember you- I have never forgotten you-I have been here always,patiently awaiting forthis moment"

For most of the last few weeks, I have been visited byan uninvited guest, named Confusion. I blamed hervisit on what was happening outside me, but it really allstarted inside. It was a vicious circle. What I thoughtabout, I got more of, and what I got more of, I thoughtmore about, and the more I thought about it ….. Well,you know how that goes.

Like a small child being ignored, Confusion stampedher feet when I thought I could put her in the corner,hoping she would go away; twas not the case. Aboutthat time I started getting nauseated; she even insistedI stay home from work. Of course continuing on mynew exercise routine was out of the question. Sheknew that if I went for a walk, my head would begin toclear and she would be kicked out of her comfy oldchair. There was no ignoring her; I found when I didshe tended to bring home her nasty friends, Resentfuland Victim too!

Little by little I began to feel Peace slip in by way of theshadows; Love filtered through the drawn shades; Joyeven danced across my room every once in a while.Acceptance stood in the doorway with her hands onher hips, eye brows raised as if I dare question herauthority again. I shall not today; and hopefully nottomorrow lest I fancy another visit with old Confusionagain.

Slowly through the fog, I began to realize it wasExpectation that invited Confusion to disrupt my contented life. I can look back and say, even thoughthis was a most uncomfortable visit, it was a greatopportunity for me; for old Confusion made me asksome new questions about myself.

Today I choose to entertain Presence instead, knowingthat if for one reason or another I let Confusion creepin, it is of my own doing. For I can change what it is Iam feeling by changing what it is I am thinking. I canchange what I allow to affect me by paying attention towhat meaning I allot to it, always asking where myoriginal thought came from… my authentic self or

society? And who is the friend I am most comfortablewith anyway, Pride or Peace?

I have begun to realize that when I am gripped with theneed for guarantees in my life it is because I haveopened the door to Fear, and have allowed her and oldfriends merrymaking in my head. The fog lifts quicklywhen I really understand in my heart that I am one withall. That each and every one of us is doing the best wecan at each moment. I am no longer afraid of thefuture, for Love is always there to lead when I remember to get myself out of the way. The sun shinesbrightly when Acceptance is my mentor. Funny thing Inotice about my friends, when I am accepting of them,I find they are more accepting of me. Or is it I ammore accepting of me?

Let me ask you a quick question? Would you consideryourself open-minded? Well, of course you do!

Consider this. What if there 'were no accidents'? Is it possible that perchance your eyes were meant toperuse these words today? Like the time you didn'tfeel like going out with friends, but ended up meetingand marrying the man of your dreams, or the time youopted out of lunch with work mates only to find yourselfbrowsing an old bookstore and finding the book youhad given up all hope of finding. It makes you wonder;doesn't it?

So, I invite you to read on, who knows, you just mightfind something here that tickles your soul, or at veryleast entertains your curiosity.

They said anyone could do it. I, of course, had mydoubts. I assumed that channeling was exclusive tothe chosen few, the gifted, those belonging to the private club. Never, ever, did I think it was for the curious and inexperienced, like me.

Lee Carrol describes channeling as "the word of Spirit(or God) as given to a human or humans for theirenlightenment and information." (Lee Carrol, in 'A NewDispensation, Plain Talk for Confusing Times', Kryon -Book Ten). Recorded history tells us of many who have channeled. The most famous, of course, was EdgarCayce, known as 'The Sleeping Prophet'. Today thereare over 14,000 of his readings on file at the CayceFoundation--the Association of Research andEnlightenment in Virginia Beach.

'Channeling is a skill that can be learned,' were the firstwords I read in 'Opening to Channel' by SanayaRoman and Duane Packer. The owner of the littlestore literally placed the soft paperback in my hand asshe whispered, "This is the book you need." Crinklingmy brows, I wondered what she knew. Curious, I purchased the book.

I hurried home with my new treasure and at oncebegan to read. I shoved each word into my brain likefood to a starving man, taking little time to taste its flavor. I read the background information and thenstudied the process. Before I knew it, the journey hadbegun.

Focus and Concentration

The formula seemed simple and uncomplicated.Learning to quiet the mind was something I did often inmeditation, so swiftly I graduated to the next step. Thisinvolved enhancing one's focus and concentration.Holding my favorite crystal, I directed all thoughtstoward achieving a relaxed state.

Attuning

Next I would expand my skills at attuning to life forceenergy by getting to know the silky red petals of thePetunia plant I had recently purchased for my garden. I was learning to feel its life form and energy. I love togarden; but clearly, I had never established such anintimate bond with my flowers before. I half expected itto open up and hug me.

Personal Trance Posture and Position

Finally, I would learn to develop my personal tranceposture and position. Without question, the most difficult step of all. This involved observing the stillness within, while experiencing and maintaining asense of love and compassion--beyond the norm.Learning to feel centered, loving, balanced, and open,for the duration of the exercise.

With practice, I felt I had passed the required tests thatpreceded each level and was excited to begin. Theauthors said that I would feel a great sense of compassion as my guides joined with me and began tochannel verbally using my vocal cords. I prepared asinstructed and attempted several times. Nothing happened.

Not one to give up without a good fight, I knew therehad to be another way. I realized that either consciously or subconsciously I had decided that thismode of communication was not going to work for me.Somehow I was blocking the process. Back to thedrawing board, I went in search of a Plan B.

Plan B

The tools to this alternate mode of communication

The First TimeBy Lori Balch

continued of next page...

were simple; all I needed was a sharp pencil and ablank piece of paper. I prepared as before, but thistime I was armed with my trusty pencil resting lightlybetween my fingers. If the thing was going to move, itsure wasn't getting any help from me.

Time stood still as I lingered quietly in this unfamiliarspace. I seemed to be experiencing a heightenedstate of consciousness. Strange however, I could stillfeel the delicate, soft fur of my faithful canine companions as they slumbered peacefully by my side. Through my open window, I was aware of the angrychatter of squirrels as they went about the business ofprotecting their young, and I could smell the sweet fragrance of freshly cut grass from the park across thestreet.

Contact. It was subtle at first, like fresh rain dancing onmy skin. A warm tingling began in my upper arm andradiated lovingly down my fingertips. Without a doubt,I knew this encounter was genuine. That solitary andunbelievably magical moment, when one single grainof sand slipped unnoticed through the hourglass, willforever be edged in my mind.

Ever so gently, I felt the pencil right itself in my hand.It was like something was seeing and feeling the worldwith me. Soon the energies grew in intensity and myhand began to shake uncontrollably, but with that, thepencil began to move. It took off like a shopper onbargain day at the supermarket.

My hand moved erratically across the paper as itdragged the pencil along, creating lines and circles. Aeuphoric smile broke free on my face and throughclosed eyes, tears ran tenderly down my flushedcheeks. In the stillness I sat in wonder.

I had made contact, but with who or what? Incrediblefeelings coursed through me as I opened my eyes andlooked at the paper. The little drawing resembled anold map of the world. The lines were soft, yet glowedwith love. I grinned as I hid my secret away in a drawer.

I tried the same process again a few days later and tomy great joy and with ease, I experienced the samesensations; but this time the energies seemed evenmore passionate. With more control and purpose,bigger and bolder strokes appeared. It seemed theenergies were melding with mine. We were learning towork together.

I made a point of finding time daily to make the connection with what I felt was a spirit friend. In shorttime, the lines transformed themselves into writtenwords and I was given a name. In plain language Ilearned that I was communicating with an individualenergy that was part of a larger group or vibration.Within a month I was guided to use my 'writingmachine', and the words came easily, filling pages andpages of typewritten notes.

I have to confess; at first my ego reared its ugly headand tried to convince me that I had been chosen forgreatness. Thankfully, I was reminded that every singleone of us is meant for greatness. We merely have tore-member who we are and why we have come. I haverecognized that I was not 'chosen,' but that I chose tomake this happen. I am still trying to understand whatpurpose this all serves for me. The words are sometimes new, but often times a gentle reminder ofmy life purpose.

I believe we ALL have access to this sacred place. Wesimply have to make the choice and ultimately theeffort, to create the link. 'Anyone can do it,' so whynot try; it just might be the journey you were meant totake. Remember; 'there are no accidents'.

Spirit TracksBy John McIntosh

Love DivineNo thought entersour mind thatwe have not invited.

We bind or free our selfchoosing fearful reaction,or loving action.

We save or condemn our selfwith our every thought.

When finally we surrenderall 'choice' tothe One who knows...

We are pierced by Love Divineand the shadows ofa long colddream dissolve.

Blessings,

John

IInnttuuiittiivvee EEnneerrggyy WWoorrkkIvonne PPlankey

Multicultural Blessing

Born to a Chilean social worker and an American lay missionary, Ivonne has had the rich experience of a multicultural upbringing. Exiled from Chile during a military coup, her family relocated to Mexico in the earlyseventies, where she grew up on the grounds of a uniqueecumenical retreat centre that hosted hundreds of peopleeach year. Her religious family background was steepedin her parent's dedication to social justice and humanrights within the progressive Catholic Church, and Ivonnealways felt the full freedom to explore many avenues ofspiritual insight and loved the study of comparative religion. The family approach to health took full advantage of the many options available in Mexico, combining homeopathy, Chinese medicine, and herbalism. The "alternative" was the norm.

Blessed with the support of a network of intuitive practitioners over the years, Ivonne began a path of self-discovery in her early teens, often giving voice to herjourney through songwriting. After completing a degree inLatin American Studies in Northern California, shereturned to Mexico with her partner and married in 1994.The pregnancy and birth of her first child brought forth aprofound healing opportunity through the spiritual connection between mother and child. The importance ofliving that bond consciously blossomed further with thebirth of her second child. Their delivery by a homeopathicmidwife fueled a growing interest in becoming an alternative health practitioner. Ivonne became fixated withthe idea of studying naturopathy and began to lose touchwith the gift of living in the moment...then God stepped in.

In 1998 a severe illness abruptly separated her from herfamily for the first time ever, placing her firmly in the roleof receiver. Through a convalescence period of nearly ayear, Ivonne discovered the many lessons of the experience as she learned about non-judgement, openness, patience, and deep, unconditional love. One

of the greatest gifts was her shift into energetic and intuitive healing, a journey that continues to unfold to thisday.

She and her family moved to Calgary, Alberta in 2002.Spirit has continued to guide her, presenting a myriad ofconnections and opportunities to further her own learning.

Ivonne and Her Healing Style

Becoming more and more aware of just what energy isand how it relates to our quest for a centered and meaningful life, Ivonne became disillusioned with thehuman limitations imposed on some healing traditions andmodalities. Opting to learn from the lessons and teachersplaced in her path over the years, she has integrated onlywhat has served her. This has freed her to keep the worksimple, using intuition as a guide with healing energy.Ivonne has formal training in Reiki, Massage Therapy,CranioSacral Therapy, Somato Emotional Release,Qualitative Healing for the Whole Human Being, andMatrix Energetics, among others. Seeking always touncover a deeper truth, and with her intuition firmly basedin integrity, Ivonne has blended modalities, added whatSpirit brings in the moment, and created a workable andeffective healing flow for her clients.

Every one of Ivonne's sessions is different as she modelsthem to match the clients' needs. She allows the energyto flow naturally and facilitates a powerful healing energetic experience. She has worked hard to learn howto be balanced and grounded in the moment, and strivesto create a sacred space for people to connect with theirown healing source on a physical, emotional, mental, andspiritual level. Looking into the truth of your experiencetakes courage; being willing to learn the lesson and moveon requires presence and compassion. Ivonne encourages and teaches others to become more ground-ed and aware.

Ministerial Training

Since 2007, Ivonne has been training to become aMinister with the Universal Church of the Master, a non-denominational organization that recognizes theunique nature of the individual spiritual path beyond anyone religion or doctrine and encourages the developmentof intuitive perception and guidance. Sensing the deeperspiritual layers of any healing work or modality, she incorporates spiritual counseling into her work, focusingher intent on service, integrity, and genuineness.

Ivonne gratefully views every session as an opportunity togrow for all involved. Inner work teaches that we serveas sacred mirrors for one another along the spiritual path.

To book a phone or in-person appointment, please contact Ivonne at her Calgary office at 403-619-2116. Tolearn more, visit her website at www.withinthewave.net.

BUSINESS PROFILE - BY SHARYN LEMASURIER

At Home In Winnipeg

Her life is busy, and yet this young mom finds time tostudy so she can bring benefit to her friends, family andcommunity. Cora Rennie begins her story in 2004 whenshe was expecting her second child. She visited aChiropractor who did muscle testing with her and wasintrigued by the practice, which opened a whole new doorfor her - to the energies of the body, and the concepts ofnatural healing in general.

After her son was born, she struggled with what she nowknows was Post-Partum Depression, and a throw-back tothe experience of colic with her firstborn. She felt challenged emotionally, spiritually and mentally, and in hersearch for wellness (and without having great successwith muscle testing for herself) she discovered the practice of using a pendulum. One fateful day, instead ofpicking up the pendulum, she found herself simply placingher head into her hands. Unexpectedly, tears began toflow and she had the thought "This is Reiki."

Baby Steps

When she had first been told about an energy techniquecalled Reiki, Cora's reaction was, "I can't feel energy."Nevertheless, she now realized that Reiki was the nextstep, and proceeded with level one training. She practiced on family and friends, eventually continuing onto take her Second Degree training twice, with two different Masters. With Reiki as a daily influence in herlife, her confidence and awareness blossomed and it waswell before her own Master's level training that the notiontook hold of her to become a practitioner in order to treatothers. Cora's natural sense of joy and humility broughtmore strength as she began exploring other modalities inthe alternative healing field, including CranioSacralTherapy, and the work of Emotional Freedom Techniques(EFT).

Her growth in the use of these modalities has come aboutbecause she practices diligently on herself and the family.For example, when her seven-year-old daughter recentlyhad to undergo dental surgery, she employed EFT for fourdays prior to the procedure. She and her daughter

"tapped" again just before and after the surgery. Thenurses were amazed at what a good patient this littleseven-year-old was, and her recovery was speedy.Where she was expected to feel drowsy and out of sortsfrom the after-effects of the anesthesia, she instead waswide-awake and wanted to go out and play. The onlything that this little girl complained about was that theyhadn't given her the tooth they extracted! When she laterdiscovered that the tooth fairy visited anyway, all was wellonce again.

Knowledge Brings Confidence

Throughout this journey into alternative therapies, Cora isconstantly researching. She is a sponge for knowledgeand wants to know all that she can to assist herself, herfamily, and now that she has opened her doors professionally - her community. Cora is a registered alternative Health Practitioner with the Natural HealthPractitioners of Canada.

A Military Life

Cora's compassionate nature has a lot to do with herlifestyle and the influence that her husband's employmenthas on their family life. Cora's husband is in theCanadian Military and has been away from home on training and deployment for the better part of the pastyear. Cora openly admits, "I don't know what I would dowithout the ability to use EFT on myself to maintain asense of peace." With the military lifestyle, young families relocate when required and Cora recently arrivedin Winnipeg, Manitoba after spending four years in ColdLake, Alberta. Frequent moves are a challenge but Corahas learned to adjust, and the tools that have helped andguided her are the same ones she offers to her clients.She knows how to be flexible and make adjustments inthe most positive, constructive way.

At www.corarennie.com you find yourself being drawnin to Cora's world of gentleness and peace. The introduction to her site says 'Welcome to My Home' andshe means exactly that. Her site is very well laid out witha wealth of information for you to peruse. Training in several modalities has allowed Cora's natural tendency touse her skills in facilitating the healing process for herclients. Her natural joy bubbles through and even in abrief phone conversation she makes you smile.

Wellness is her focus, joy and compassion are some ofher tools, and learned and intuitive knowledge are hergreatest friends.

To make a connection with Cora, you can email her [email protected] or by phone you can call 204-7782-33674. Give this Winnipeg girl a call and let herbring a smile and healthy joy to your day!

Nurturing ‘NerGyNadine Gordon

DreamWalker

Leslieville, Alberta

403-729-2170

The Beginning of the Journey…

The three-year-old child with third degree burns on herface could tell the difference. She knew people werelooking at her oddly after the accident. They were treatingher different than before. She began to feel abandonedand alone. When she looked into a mirror, all she sawwas ugly burns, still in the healing process. They scaredher and she began to withdraw.

As she grew, the burns healed, leaving minimal physicalscarring, but the scars in her psyche ran deep. She withdrew more, developing a passion for books and animals. Evolving into adulthood brought Nadine throughmore difficult and traumatic experiences and today she isgrateful. She is grateful for the challenges that taught herhow to be kinder, more empathetic and more understanding of others who struggle.

Over the Years…

Nadine Gordon is a country girl born and raised inAlberta. Her love of books drove her to continually studyand research things that intruiged her. Along with herlove of books, came a passionate love for writing. Overthe years, she has been published in various papers andmagazines including a Calgary Magazine, Horses All;where she wrote an article about the 1994 round up of thewild horses of Suffield. A similar article was featured inthe Strathmore Standard.

Her passion for animals particularly horses; led her tostudy and acquire her Animal Sciences Diploma. Nadine was an officer who worked in the CorrectionalField for fifteen years. She trained in self-defense andvarious other courses such as counseling to assist herwith Government work.

Finally, struggling with exhaustion, anxiety and depression, she was diagnosed with post-traumatic stresssyndrome, which forced her to leave her employment as aCorrectional Officer behind. Prescribed medications didnot help. After 4 to 6 months, Nadine sought out wellnessfrom other, more natural sources. She turned to yoga,

engaged in psychological counseling and was drawn toexperience and study Reiki. Through these studies, shefound her way out of Correctional work, and into the worldof natural healing. It was a perfect fit as she began tolearn how to help others overcome their challenges andlive healthier, happier lives that are more productive.

What is a DreamWalker?

Nadine refers to herself as a Dreamwalker. She definesherself as 'One who has awakened and is walking herdream.' Her role is to, 'assist others to walk their dreams.' She states that, "A Dreamwalker is a person who is ableto traverse all worlds in any dimension, past present orfuture through the light or darkness to access hiddendreams in order to bring about wholeness or healing forthe client or self. This can be done in a lucid state or out-of-body trance.

A Dreamwalker will bring you what you need, alchemy. Itmay be a message from the other side, healing, counseling, a laugh, exercise, meditation, or change indiet. You will be given work to do so you stay groundedand in balance, this enables you to retreat to your dreamsbut live in the present."

Today…

She now resides just outside of Leslieville, Alberta, andfrom there runs a Sanctuary called Nurturing ‘NerGy. Atthe Sanctuary, she teaches various workshops entitled,Latent Energy Level 1 and Advanced, as well as a Coursein Animal Wisdom. She also sees clients for private consultations by appointment, and usually utilizes theUsui System of Reiki in her work.

In her counseling work, Nadine strives to assist her clientsin balancing mind, body and spirit. She utilizes psychometry, her intuition and her counseling background, as well as everything she has learnedthrough her extensive research.

Her own experiences with pain, heartbreak, isolation andfear drive her to share with the world tools she learned touse which helped her to become well again.

Nadine currently writes a column for the Violet RayMagazine entitled "Scrolls of the Dreamwalker", and is inthe final development stages of releasing her first book.

The hours when you can contact Nadine for either information on classes or to book a personal appointmentare Monday to Friday and alternating Saturdaysfrom 10am to 4pm.

She can be contacted through her email address [email protected] or by callingher office at 403-729-2170.

Even as a child I always knew that it would be my life's missionto help people. I brought home stray pets and I was alwayssharing my food and toys. My father was a preacher and wedid not have much money. In those days preachers lived mostly from love offerings from their congregation. When thecongregation was having money struggles they could notafford to give the preacher and his family money.

Many times I remember eating dandelions. My mom becamean expert in preparing dandelions - dandelion greens, stew,broth, etc. I do know what it was like to go to bed hungry and Iwould lie in bed as a child visualizing eating a turkey dinnerwith stuffing and all the trimmings and finishing it off with pumpkin pie. I found to my surprise that this did work and I didn't feel quite as hungry. Of course there was that little, gnawing, irritating pain in my stomach asking for food.

I started to work very young cleaning dog kennels and workingat my paper route. Every cent I made went to the family forfood. My desire to help others became even stronger, so theywould not have to experience what I did. As I got older, I cameto the conclusion that I really could change my world and thepeople in and around it by changing my negative thinking topositive thinking, one new, positive thought and one new actionat a time.

I discovered the Affirmation process quite by accident. Whenmy son David was born with crooked feet I did an Affirmationthat he would walk. At that time I did not even know what theword Affirmation meant, much less how it worked. I looked atmy baby son and said with conviction to him, "David you willwalk." I told others that he would walk and I kept that belief atthe forefront of my mind. Then I was introduced to a wonderfulorganization the Shriners, who accepted David and took careof the surgery, the lengthy hospital stay and after treatment. MyAffirmation, that I said with love that only a mother could feel forher child, worked!

I did not question how it would work; I just believed with all myheart that it would work. Today one would never guess thatDavid ever had trouble with his feet. I knew the 'what' and Godknew the 'how.'

In 1989, while I was still involved in real estate, I wrote my firstbook, Affirmations Your Passport to Happiness, which is now in

its 7th edition. Then I retired from the Corporate World to discover my life was just beginning. I created my websitewhere I advertise all my products-various Hard Cover Books, e-books, Tapes, Cards of Life, Affirmation Booklets, Children'sprograms, etc. I have never looked back as this second careeris so rewarding, totally fulfilling and wonderful that I look forward to every day with excitement and enthusiasm. I am sohonored and blessed that I have and am teaching this wonderful miraculous process to others.

Many wonderful people and opportunities have come into mylife as a result of my Affirmations. Today finds me busy shippingbooks, preparing for and doing my radio talk shows, answeringemails giving hope to people worldwide, doing AffirmationCounseling, Cards of Life Readings, lecturing, writing more e-books, articles and columns and being a mother, wife,teacher and student. Learning about Affirmations what they areand how they work, especially for me has been a magical journey and every day I expect and receive and live miracles. Ihave never been happier!

The Affirmation process that I teach has worked for me in everyarea of my life, with exceptional and miraculous results.Among many others, I have affirmed for homes, vehicles,careers, money, health, marriages, positive people, specific circumstances and just about everything. I have huge bindersbulging with thousands of testimonials from people worldwidesharing with me the wonderful results they received when theyacknowledged, harnessed and used the wondrous, creativepower within each and every one us to make their dreams manifest as affirmed.

Some call me a 'Walking Affirmation' as people ask me "Howcome you are so lucky, everything seems to work for you?"After giving that question a great deal of thought I answered,"Well I believe it is because of my great desire to help othersand the work I do and the saying, 'What goes around comesaround,' and I am reaping some of the benefits of my work.

I am a Radio Talk Show Host, Lecturer, Author, AffirmationsCoach, Cards of Life Intuitive Reader, Workshop Facilitator, andColumnist with this Magazine, Ordained Minister and Doctor ofDivinity. I have also been nicknamed the Affirmations Doctor.

As I feel it is so important to teach children the power of the spoken word-Affirmations I have created several Children'sAffirmation Programs such as KAP And also MotivationalAffirmation Club, (MAC), in a club setting where kids really feelthat they can belong.

I am so honored and blessed that I am in a position to shed thewondrous light of Hope to people everywhere. My Affirmation isto encourage every reader to find out what you really, reallywant to do, create your dream and then walk into and live inyour dream. You will be so glad you did!

I am living proof that 'Affirmations When Properly Done AlwaysWork!" sometimes not in our time frame or as we think theyshould, but they always work! Yes, Folks-- Believe it!

Along the way, she discovered Ortho-Bionomy, and is currentlyworking towards receiving her certification in that modality aswell.

Onsen is an advanced therapeutic technique, which combinesmodalities of Osteopathy and massage. It provides the toolsrequired to effectively assess and correct body dysfunctionthrough painless realignment of the muscles, joints, bones,and tissues.

Headaches, back pain, sprains/strains, sports injuries, acuteinjuries, knee problems, and acute and chronic pain.

Ortho-Bionomy facilitates the therapeutic process and promotes natural body alignment, balance and pain relief. The practitioner works with you to identify areas of discomfort, tension and pain as well as areas of comfort andease of movement. The use of gentle movements, comfortable positioning and compression are incorporated.No forceful movements are used.

The training to become certified in Ortho-Bionomy is intense,and Kathy is currently completing the 505 required hours inthe Practitioner program. The program consists of over 15 different required classes, as well as over 10 different electivesto choose from. Once completed, she will have the option ofcontinuing on to the Advanced Practitioner level, which isanother 500 hours of study.

Ortho-Bionomy is a system that allows us to integrate ourphysical, emotional and mental experiences. Once the clientbecomes more aware of their own physical tensions, they cangradually learn to connect both the physical and energetic patterns within the body to affect a change without necessarily engaging physically

Massage Therapy is not a requirement to learn Ortho-Bionomy, but Kathy feels fortunate to be able to incorporate these techniques into her massage sessions. Thisallows her clients a brief experience of the technique beforecommitting to a full Ortho-Bionomy session. She invites seekers of wellness to check out more details at www.ortho-bionomy.ca

Stephanie MonsenReiki Master & Yuen Method™

Practitioner in TrainingCalgary, AB

403-614-5789

Meet Stephanie Monsen, Creator of WatersongWellness.

Reiki Master Stephanie Monsen's first personal experiencewith a healing modality called the Yuen Method™ in May2006 was, as she put it, "spectacular". This experiencewas the final step on a journey of self-discovery and learning that led her to create Watersong Wellness.

As a senior executive for a national financial services firm,Stephanie observed how health issues, difficult relationships, stress and anxiety could deeply impact anindividual's well being in all areas of their life. Her drive tounderstand the connection between lifestyle and thoughtled her to study the Silva Alpha Meditation Technique, andReiki. By the winter of 2006, she had completed her Masters Reiki training in the Usui tradition.

Here is what she says:

"My personal experience with my first Yuen Method™appointment was nothing short of spectacular. Instant andpermanent relief of both physical and emotional pain andtrauma occurred. I couldn't believe what had just happened. At the end of my appointment I inquired aboutthe scope of issues that could be healed through the YuenMethod ™ as well as asking to be referred to a CertifiedPractitioner and Teacher to study this modality so otherscould benefit from this knowledge."

Her first class was with Dr. Kam Yuen, the founder of thismodality in Saskatoon, SK in September 2006. InNovember of that same year Stephanie was involved in aserious horseback riding accident and collapsed her leftlung. Through the amazing power of the universe, all herfellow Yuen Method™ and local Reiki colleagues were notified of her injury within hours of the incident and beganto send remote healing. Her recovery was nothing short ofamazing! She was in the hospital for less than half of theusual amount of time (two days instead of five). Her painlevels were lower than the medical staff had ever witnessedfor such a bad injury and she was released without antibiotics and did not have any trouble with infection.Four weeks later, Stephanie had made a full recovery andwas back at work. Her doctor was amazed at the state ofher lung. It was as if it had never been injured! This experience inspired her to continue to learn the Yuen

Method™ in hopes of being chosen as one of a handful ofstudents to become Yuen Method™ Certified Practitionersin Canada. She has studied with a total of 4 Certified YuenMethod ™ Practitioners throughout North America and hasachieved all of the prerequisites to become a YuenMethod™ Certified Practitioner. Stephanie plans to attendthe biannual certification course in November 2008 in LosAngeles with Dr. Kam Yuen.

Yuen Method™

The Yuen Method™ is a revolutionary alternative healingmodality that blends knowledge of anatomy, physiology,kinesiology, chiropractic, qi gong, Feng Shui and quantumphysics to eliminate or greatly minimize chronic pain, allergies, fear, depression and release old behavior patterns. It often delivers immediate and lasting results in 3 treatments or less.

Treatments can have profound and lasting effects onhealth, rejuvenation, self-esteem, positive attitude, betterrelationships, as well as increasing personal prosperity andwealth. They require absolutely no exercise, no drugs, nomeditation, no devices, no hypnosis, and no religiousbeliefs.

The Yuen Method™ does not require physical touch tobring about change. You will not receive a diagnosis or beprescribed medication, nor will we recommend that you discontinue medication prescribed by a licensed medicalpractitioner. Instead, the Yuen Method™ uses applied kinesiology to locate and correct energetic weakness andblockages in the energy body. Once a person's energybody is strengthened, their physical body's natural healingability takes over to bring about positive change.

The premise behind the Yuen Method™ is that a person'sbody functions like a computer. On an energetic level, we,as humans, are either strong or weak to any given issue orsituation. Pain or discomfort in any area of our life is a signthat something is wrong with the flow of energy in our body.Humans are complex beings with multiple levels of consciousness. Energy healing simply works to make surethat all levels of consciousness are in congruent communication so that pain and discomfort can be eliminated and personal goals can be attained.

Stephanie invites clients into her Yuen Method™ practice.

What if you could…..

- Be free of emotional or physical pain permanently- Immediately improve relationships- Resolve financial concerns- Eliminate stress and anxiety from your life- Relieve traumas- Remove barriers and limitations

Restore your vitality to let your spirit soar!

Call Stephanie at 403-614-5789 to schedule your ownYuen Method™ Wellness Sessions today! It is time tomanifest your highest potential.

Are you a Calgary couple who feels overwhelmed andconfused about your finances?

The Financial Guides come from a simple philosophy:we want our clients to be rich and will help them in anyway we can to get there (so long as it's honest, moral,and ethical).

Here's why we get almost all of our business fromenthusiastic referrals . . .Our clients are raving fans:they eagerly refer us to their closest friends and associates without us having to ask. Why?

Low advisor to client ratio: We ensure that each of ourfinancial guides has a maximum of 200 clients. The industry average for experienced agents is 500 - 750 peragent.

An Integrated Approach: We deal with way more thanthe numbers. We get into the emotional and psychological aspects of money. Mostly this part is dealtwith one on one in appointments. There is a coachingelement, but it is quite informal. Mostly you will be askeda lot of questions. A lot.

Ongoing and in depth support: We meet with ourclients at least once a year for a full review. Most of ourclients see us at least quarterly.

Dress code: We don't wear suits. We wear jeans and t-shirts. We are real people and we use real language.We don't need to use fancy words to try and make youfeel intimidated. We know our stuff, we do what is right,and we can explain it in such a way that you canunderstand it.

Financial Journeys: To see if we are a fit for you - youare welcome to attend a $75 day long workshop. This isour personal financial class. You will be treated like awelcome guest and be served great food and drink. You'lllaugh a lot during the day and receive unbelievably goodand pertinent unbiased information. We've gotten ravereviews on this workshop. It's not a day long sales pitchand there's no big 'high pressure close' at the end. But wedo get most of our clients from it - because they're soimpressed with it.

Small Business Class: Because we absolutely loveworking with small businesses, and have a greedy, motivated, self interest to see them succeed (the moremoney you make the more money you have to invest withus J) We offer a comprehensive three day class thathelps you on the path to owning a business not just beingowned by your job. We teach you the real fundamentalsand give you time to work on your business, instead ofjust in it. This class is offered on a pay what you can, paywhat you feel it is worth basis.

As a clairvoyant I am guided to integrate various modalities including Reiki, Sound, Color and Crystal therapies as well as Theta Healing. To aid in theenhancement of personal well being I believe that healingpast traumatic events is one of the greatest acts of freewill.Resolving coping mechanisms formed from as early asinfancy can re-establish balance and self awareness.

The therapeutic sessions and/or training with these modalities not only aid in healing but also greatly increaseyour personal vibrational frequency thus expanding individual intuition. This experience develops your awareness of the effect of other people’s energeticinfluences spiritually and on all your human levels. I feelthat by providing both the training and personal sessionswith these modalities as well as group meditations, I amable to aid in the enrichment of personal self-awarenessand growth. Of particular interest to me is the provision ofbalance for indigo, crystal, rainbow and blue people.

Through the further application of numerology and guidedpast life regression/progression I am able to assist in yourability to access a greater wisdom providing more tools forthis life’s journey.

By evolving through these processes, you will becomemore empowered, with a greater objective self-awareness,an increased personal vibrational frequency and true recognition of your life purpose.

Living a life in balanced awareness unencumbered by oldcoping mechanisms and limiting belief systems, you cantruly express your individual free will and creative energieswith loving awareness and consideration for all in unity.

&AbundanceMoney, Wealth

Your human journey is about choices and the experiences they bring. I can intuitively guide you to healthier choices which will enhance your life experience.

I was born with the gift of clairvoyance, which is the ability to ‘see spirit’. I am a psychic medium, and I have

recently returned from The Arthur

Findlay College of Psychic Develop-

ment in Stansted, England. The

College is the best in the world for people with develop-

ing gifts, and I craved guidance in understanding how to

apply these gifts for clients. The intense training and disci-

pline required by my tutors has given me what I needed

and I now bring these gifts to you.

Psychics bring to their work their own unique gifts. We

utilize those gifts in the sharing of information and histori-

cally, are best known for predicting future events. How-

ever, I am not a predictive psychic and here at the Studio

Holistic Health Centre, I do not focus on future events

through prediction. Instead, I off er my Psychic Gifts to

assist in resolving current issues so you can infl uence your

own future in a positive way.

My psychic ability guides me to identify who or what

might be standing in the way of your progress.

I also will connect through Spirit with loved ones who

have crossed over if the timing is right for them. This is

Mediumship, and it off ers two things. One, the ability

to know without a doubt that this physical reality is not

all there is to us and that our spirit lives on after physical

death.

Second, it allows you the peace to know how your loved

one is doing and sometimes even receive messages that

can help you in the rest of your physical journey.

It is simple. You ask the questions and I receive the

answers that will make sense to you. This information,

coupled with common sense opens the door to your

ability to overcome challenges. Your energy will be read

in regards to physical health issues, and emotional and

mental disturbance. You will be advised and guided using

the information received from all energies around you.

This includes your own energy, crossed over loved ones,

deceased pets, friends, spirit guides and Angels who

always work closely with both you and I. Past live’s will be

tapped into where challenges were not completely re-

solved, often determining if cell memory of those events

share responsibility for current challenges.

Out of respect for your power of choice and free will, I do

not predict your future as I do not wish to encourage a

state of limbo while you wait for the predictions to reveal

themselves. Our focus is always based on the present,

with a desire to infl uence a positive outcome for your

future.

You were born with the powerful gift of choice and your

own intuition. You have the right to be what you choose

and the choices you make reveal themselves in the results

whether positive or negative. Your human journey is

about those choices and the experiences they bring. I can

intuitively guide you to healthier choices which will en-

hance your life experience. Life is meant to be happy, and

to be loved and lived in the present time. Through the

psychic links with Spirit and those in the Spirit world, as

well as common sense you will receive valid evidence and

information to live a happier, more positive life. Believe

me, it is your divine right to be joyful.

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.
