Religion vs. Spirituality
by Rev. Danielle Marie Hewitt,Founder & Spiritual Director
My husband and I attended the play “A Christmas Carol” during the holiday season and while there met a couple from a middle eastern background. We were previously acquainted with them and when I shared that I was no longer doing accounting work but had founded a spiritual center they were genuinely interest-ed to know more. I gave them the gist of what we were all about. They said they would like to come and learn more, but right at the end of the conversation they pro-fessed a concern they might not fit in as they were not “religious.” I was taken aback and found myself trying to explain the difference and was not entirely sure I suc-ceeded. I blurted out something like religion is spiritual, but spirituality is not necessarily religious. Now having had more time to think about I think I can express the difference with more clarity.
It has become quite popular in recent years to dis-tinguish between spirituality and religion as a growing number of people profess to be “Spiritual” but insist they are not “Religious”. It’s true that there are valid distinctions between the two, but there are also a num-ber of problematic distinctions which often and unnec-essarily divide the two fields of thought. It is important to note the fact that many of the negative things which
are attributed to religions are features specific to Juda-ism, Christianity, and Islam, but not of other religions like Taoism or Buddhism which are far more tolerant so for purposes of this article I am not referring to the later two. I have not personally had any kind of pro-found negative experience with religion, only one of mild disdain due to what seemed to me, oversimplified answers to great questions, rules and rituals, but more importantly, the idea that you are either in or out of compliance and therefore in or out of the group.
A large number of the general populous consider themselves “spiritual but not religious.” The phrases “spiritual” and “religious” used to be more or less in-terchangeable before the 20th century. Both used to imply a belief in a Higher Power of some kind, a desire to connect more intimately with that Higher Power with some rituals and daily practices conducted. But, with the increasing prestige of scientific advances, in-tellectual thought and the in depth studies of religious history many people find sustaining the compliance of a religious institution more difficult. There exists in the population those that continue to adhere with full faith to the ideals of the religious institution, those that may still attend out of a sense of culture and family values, but they do not subscribe to the teachings 100% , those that have left their institutions completely due to an in-ability to subscribe and then there are those who have forged out on their own personal set of beliefs with a general regard for a Higher Power being the only com-mon denominator amongst them.
This last group whom we might call “spiritual” gradually came to be associated with a private realm of

thought and experience while those whom we might call “religious”came to be connected with the public realm of membership in religious institutions, participa-tion in formal rituals, and adherence to official denomi-national doctrines either with pure faith or by wanting to be a part of an institution from a cultural norm.
Religion tends to incorporate public rituals and or-ganized doctrines while spirituality tends to be more personal and private, but the lines between one and the other may often not be clear or distinct depend-ing on the interpretation. Religion is an institution es-tablished by man for various reasons. It exerts control, instills morality, provides specific rules of conduct and practices. There can in some practices seem that God has been all but forsaken for an emphasis on compli-ance. Sins are confessed to a clergy member, there are elaborate churches to go to worship, you are told what to pray and when to pray it.
Spirituality on the other hand is born in a person and develops in the person. It may be kick started by a religion, or it may be kick started by a revelation. Spiri-tuality extends to all facets of a person’s life. True spiri-tuality is something that is found deep within oneself. It is your way of loving, accepting and relating to the world and people around you. Although for some spiri-tuality can be found in a church, synagogue or mosque it need not be, it can be found within oneself.
Consider the following:
Religion is for those who want to continue ritu-als and formality. Spirituality is for those who want to reach the Spiritual Ascent without dogmas.
Religion is for those that want or require guidance from others. Spirituality is for those that listen to their own inner voice.
Religion has a dogmatic and unquestionable as-sembly of rules that need to be followed without ques-tion. Spirituality invites you to reason it all, to question it all and to decide your actions and assume the conse-quences.
Religion can be threatening and fearful. Spirituality encourages inner peace.
Religion speaks of sin and fault. Spirituality encour-ages “living in the now” and not feeling remorse for what is past, but to learn from errors and move on.
Religion provides answers, does not investigate and does not question. Spirituality ask questions of ev-erything.
Religion is cause for division. Spirituality is cause for union.
Religion is adoration. Spirituality is meditation.
Religion is to continue adapting to the psychology of a template. Spirituality is individuality.
Religion dreams of glory and paradise. Spirituality makes you live it here and now.
Religion gives you promises for the after-life. Spiri-tuality gives you the light to find God in your inner self, in this life, in the present, in the here and the now…
If spirituality appeals to you, make it a priority in your life. Find ways to discover yourself and go deep into mediation. You can take spirituality with you wher-ever you go. If you have friends and family that have religion in their life and you wish to be with them, take your own spirituality with you and apply what is true to your heart within those belief systems. Although man gave interpretations to religion that resulted in rules and doctrine, they are still ultimately about a Higher Power and if you choose you can make your family’s religion a very personal spiritual experience. You may find spirituality inside of religion, but you will not find religion inside spirituality.
Make 2013 a year of finding and practicing spiritual-ity in your life no matter what form or practice it takes and know that it is perfect for you.

“As we orchestrate our lives as vibrant, well-tuned, and resonant human instruments, we contribute to a worldwide symphony of health and well- being.”
~Music Medicine, the Science and Spirit of Healing with Sound
Have you ever noticed that the perfect song comes on the radio just when you need it
most? Have you ever been moved to tears by the perfect song or felt a favorite song lift your mood? Have you sung in the shower or found yourself humming a tune while waiting in line at the grocery store?
If you said “yes” or nodded your head while reading these ex-amples, you are familiar with what I call “music medicine,” the use of music to improve your health and well-being in your mind, body, heart, soul, and spirit.

7 ways to Awaken your Musical Spirit in the New Year
By Christine Stevens, SW, MT-BC
Music plays a greater role in today’s growing movement of con-scious living; it’s not just entertain-ment. The role and power of music is nothing short of awakening the heart, creating a bridge to the Di-vine, and orchestrating change on the planet.
Four Keys to Music Medicine I discovered strong correla-
tions between the four elements of music and the body, mind, heart, and soul. After spending many years with teachers and elders of the Lakota Native American tribe and traveling to places like Brazil, Africa and the Middle East, I wit-nessed the uncanny similarities in how music was healing. I discov-ered the medicine wheel of music all around and within us. Following are the four elements of music with specific healing properties:
1. Rhythm is the medicine for the body. It is the drum medicine correlated with the East, the sea-
son of Spring, the element Earth.
2. Melody is the medicine for the heart. It is the song medicine correlated with the South, the sea-son of Summer, the element Fire.
3. Harmony is the medicine for the soul. It is the ensemble medicine correlated with the West, the season of Fall, the element Wa-ter.
4. Silence is the medicine for the mind. It is the resting medicine correlated with the North the sea-son of Winter, the element Air.
Awaken Your Musical Spirit“Music is as innate as the rhythm of your heart, as close to your being as the hum of your soul, and as intrinsic as the silent space between each breath.”

ence required! You don’t have to play an instrument to be musical because you are an instrument.
1. Morning Music
Start the day in gratitude. First thing when you wake up, be-fore speaking, face East and sing, chant, drum, or hum to ex-press your gratefulness. This is a practice to attune yourself to the great musician.
2. Conscious Listening
Pay attention to the music that moves you! Notice what mes-sages are speaking to your heart in the songs. I call it your Inner DJ. To expand your listen-ing, check out the FREE playl-ists of music medicine at www.soundstrue.com/musicmedi-cine featuring artists such as Jai Uttal, Deva Premal, Shaman’s Dream, Layne Redmond, Glen Velez, and myself.
3. Sing your Power Song
In the medicine way, there are power animals. In the music medicine way, there are power songs. What song inspires your spirit? What song has been there for you in the challenging times of your life? Sing it in the shower. Play it on the drive to work. Dance and sing along. Embody your power song to-day.
4. Dance to the Beat of Your Own Drum
Put on a drumming track (go to www.soundstrue.com/mu-sicmedicine and click on the Rhythm play list for ideas). Find music that is purely rhythm, without lyrics and words, that
can take you into your head. As you listen to the music, hold perfectly still. Notice where the rhythm goes in your body. What wants to move? Let your body listen to the rhythm more than your ears. Allow your body to move with the groove when you are ready. It may be a subtle motion or an explosive ecstatic dance. Feel the healing force of rhythm.
5. Harmonize with Nature
Go on a Nature listening ex-cursion. Listen to divine music playing, orchestrated sponta-neously in the interchange of elements. Perhaps it’s a soft singing stream, powerful ocean waves, or the wind rustling in the leaves. Harmonize with this sound source. Play along. Join in a duet of musical expression. End with gratitude for the mu-sic of Nature.
6. Drum Meditation
From Japanese Shinto practices to Native American ceremonies, many spiritual traditions drum for prayer, gratitude, and call-ing upon the Divine. Place your hand on your heart. Set your in-tention. Then place your hand on the drum. Drum a beat that comes to you intuitively from within. Play for a minimum of five minutes then soften your beat. Fall into silence. Rest and breathe.
7. Rest in Silence
There are specific sounds that create silence of the mind. Check out the Silence play list at www.soundstrue.com/music-medicine. This music includes
singing bells, wind chimes, and gongs. Choose a track from the play list or something you love to listen to that does not include a strong rhythmic beat. Find something that is expan-sive and has a great amount of breath. Listen to the space between the notes. Notice your breathing entrain to the music. Drink up the music. Enjoy!

“Fear knocked at the door; faith answered.”~Irish proverb
When one hears the word “faith,” inevitably it is confused with some kind of religious definition. Over the past in this politically charged and seemingly
divided country, the definition of faith has unfortunately been touted, exploited, and misused to fit into some ideological, religious manifest of a “political” party. It is true faith has something to do with a belief system, but just for a moment, release any pre-conceived notions or religious, ideological definitions of the word and replace it with this definition: Faith is embracing an awareness of trust and, by doing so, makes you a better person.
I believe as souls entering this earthly vibration, we come to this planet with a complete set of “knowing-ness and trust.” Our souls have traversed many times, spaces, situations, places, and lands. Its breath and scope are immeasurable at best in “physical means.” For the soul is indeed timeless and, by its innate nature, only truly “grows” by its vast experiences. Experience shapes, molds, colors, and gives a personal nature to the soul fabric.
Faith is present within the soul, as a sort of tried and true ingredient in its makeup. Faith is indeed in-
nate “knowingness” we all have, that sense it will all “work-out” eventually. It is as if “faith” is our lens to a higher understanding of our nature. It provides the re-alization, we are merely energy systems. We are bigger and exist beyond the limitations of this physical body and physical world. We are merely souls hovering over an earth world measured by time, and a soul which knows no time.
Just like the word “spirit,” faith is an intangible no-tion to us in the physical world. In many ways, it cor-relates with the concepts of love, belief, trust, benevo-lence, etc., things not necessarily physical and tangible truths, but more of an inner-guidance system or meth-od of sustaining your spiritual relationship in the world. Of course, the amount of faith each person varies with their soul’s individual level of experiences through life-times. I personally know that as a soul, my faith and other spiritual attributes have been tried repeatedly, through experiencing many of the world’s spiritual dis-ciplines. I have had several lifetimes as a Tibetan monk, a Jewish rabbi, a Catholic monk, a Muslim cleric, a Shin-to priestess and many more. These were fields of in-sights, discernments, learning, and understandings my soul needed to gain in order for me to recognize and appreciate the bigger spiritual perspective of life. I’m

not endorsing any of these religions, but each played their part in opening my awareness to something else and gave me a sense of responsibility for my actions to others. I believe all faiths or religions have a bit of the truth, but not one religion has all the truth. The only religion I follow is that of LOVE.
Throughout some of the world’s most popular reli-gions or belief systems, the idea of faith is a strong cor-nerstone, interestingly enough, although the words are different in each, the concept is the same.
For example, one of the virtues in Christianity is faith. With faith, it is possible to have a greater understand-ing of God by living the ideals and exam-ples of Jesus Christ. However, faith goes hand in hand with the Christian ideol-ogy their faith must be defined by what is found within scriptures and traditions. Nonetheless, it is an ideal on which this religion is based. One should possess a “blind-faith” or trust in things desired.
In Buddhism, faith is the understanding the Buddha is the Awakened Being. One has faith in the spiritual teachings and lives with the goal of “enlightenment” or “Nirvana” and must insert a faith of self-confidence for this is the first step onto the path. Interestingly, Bud-dhists also believe one should investigate any teach-ings and live by what is learned and accepted rather than purely through faith.
The Hindu faith relies heavily on living an ethical life. It emphasizes dignity and expects one to be aware of his or her life and actions, to bring out the best in another in order to bring out the best in self. It is also largely based upon the premise logic and reason are a part of us, but a more important part is our conscious-ness and etheric awareness is one of the goals for the follower.
Islam holds the belief in its faith that when man is in complete submission to the will of God, he will be in direct accord to God’s will on earth. Prayer is indeed
one of the five pillars of the religion, and as the Islamic sees it, how can we do God’s work here and be like God, if we don’t have communication with God throughout the day while walking on this earth?
Judaism does not emphasize faith as much as other religions. In this belief system, (which I believe is more than a belief system; it is also a culture), the religion recognizes positive values of faith and trust in God. It is not emphasized, for it goes without saying. The em-phasis is on the practicing instead of the believing.
Returning to the description I wrote for faith: “Faith is embrac-ing an awareness of trust and by doing so makes them a better person,” I think we need to add to it. With faith, there seems to be a “blind-sense” of something, which is, maybe….” As with anything in life, we are challenged every day
with our belief systems and our distinctive faith.
My journey has indeed included faith…big time. Every time I walked onto a stage to do a reading or ev-ery time I met with someone for a personal consulta-tion, I had to have faith (a belief) the Spirit world would be present and ready to attempt communication. One could say my faith and my belief system were being tested. After many years, with successful results, faith has evolved and changed into KNOWINGNESS.
I no longer have to have faith the Spirit world will appear; they are always there. It’s me, the medium who has to show up. Spirit will never let you down. There-fore, faith is no longer; it has become a part of me.
Interestingly as well, the more I accept and live with this “knowingness” when I communicate with the Spirit, it cannot help but bleed into my everyday life. I have always been highly intuitive, but now I am in the knowingness most of my day and don’t have to be in spirit for communication to be there. I will meet some-body and have a keen sense of them through my know-ingness. When contacted by spirit, new students in my classes might say: “I have a lady here.” I teach them
“I no longer have to have faith the Spirit world will appear; they are al-ways there. It’s me, the medium who has to show up. Spirit will never let you down.”

to say: “I KNOW I have a woman here. Knowingness is set in stone.
One more step to reach, one more mountain to climb, to see where your faith leads. Does it assist you in recognizing your soul, how it operates, and how it assists you in the journey? Does it guide and direct you to bring new people and varied experiences in your life? Without faith, it would be difficult to live on a planet where we only are aware on one level of the materialis-tic. We are multi-faceted beings and must always know that. Remember, one person’s faith may not be yours, but never give up faith in yourself and others, for with it, faith can move mountains, create a new way of liv-ing, and bring us closer to our true nature, LOVE.

When I think about 2012, I know it was about releasing what no longer
serves us. Releasing negative cords and ties that held us to bad relationships. Forgiveness. Moving on. Releasing excess clutter and things we thought we needed when we didn’t need them at all. Minimalizing what is important in our lives. To many, this meant losing possessions and uncomfortable changes.
Change is always uncomfort-able when you resist. We are finally at the end of the tunnel and the light is near. We didn’t need that
baggage be-cause now we
are moving for-ward to a year of more inner reflec-tion, love, inner consciousness, our real connec-tion and less about our outer world.
For many of us, 2012 was not
an easy year; how-ever, it was certain-
ly one of growth. As we move not only into the New Year, but also the new era, many people are feeling an inner shift, a rise in conscious-ness, and a common goal of a more spiritual future. I am excited about new opportunities. If I had to give a term to the energy of 2013, I would say “Spiritual Unity.”
I am not an authority on astrol-ogy and how it may show what to expect, but the start of a new year brings a certain energy vibra-tion. Sometimes it takes adjusting to get into the flow of a new year. What can we do to get in sync more quickly?
People connect with their own spirituality in many different ways. Some find inner peace through meditation, yoga, or prayer. Others find it through experiencing a new healing modality or learning to do energy work. Someone else may find a guru or teacher to provide a spark of knowledge that sets them on their path. Being open to new experiences and connecting with others is my best advice.
We have an invisible team of spirit helpers. Most of the time, they are hoping we’ll ask for help. Spirit will help us to receive amaz-ing insights, but first we need to ask. We must give them permission to help, as interfering without our consent can cause them to take on our karmic lessons.
As you enter the New Year, ask what you want, even if it just clar-ity and direction. Be the “Yes Man” like in the Jim Carrey film by saying yes to every opportunity. Through these opened doors you will create your dreams.
My life purpose is helping peo-ple connect to Divine Source and finding their spiritual button. There-fore, 2013 is an exciting year. Two
John of God And Other Spiritual Openings for 2013

years ago, at the same time of year, I went to see a special man who pressed my spiritual button. He is not only a man, but also a collection of spiritual beings. He lives in a tiny town located in the middle of cen-tral Brazil. Wayne Dyer praised him for curing his dreadful cancer and TV’s Queen Bee, Oprah, praises his spirit. This is the man whom they call John of God.
I hadn’t gone seeking a cure from a devastating disease like others have. In fact, how I ended up there was curious. I was a medium and, as a Reiki Master, believed I was a healing channel. However, I didn’t realize the spirits were opening a door for me. They chose to work through an intuitive astrologer, Su-san Baroni, a regular speaker at my healing center. Susan spoke about how your birth astrological chart sets the energy for what you are going to experience that year. This is called the solar return or birth-day chart and is also determined by your physical location on your birth-day. You can change what you are to experience in the upcoming year by traveling to a location that has a more positive, favorable chart.
Mine happened to be the end of the year, December 16. Susan read my solar return chart and an-nounced that if I stayed in Los An-geles on my birthday, I would sore-ly regret it. I asked where a good place was for me to go? Central Bra-zil near Brasilia would be perfect, she announced. This happened to be the location of John of God.
I went in the hope of a little
spiritual enlightenment and a new astrological year that was bright and promising. Perhaps I could help out and do a healing on others? I soon discovered there was an en-ergy more powerful than anything I could imagine channeling.
As stepped into his presence, I
realized it was greater, more beau-tiful than I could have expected. I could speak to spirits, but at the healing center of John of God, they were close and beautiful. There were hundreds of them, commun-ing like people standing next to me.
John of God is not just a man, but actually a human body in-corporated with spirit. I had seen people chan-nel and know of great sages and healers, but he was the real deal. A great, powerful spirit was inside his man, talking to people, healing, and performing miracles.
I asked peo-ple what they experienced and why they were here. Many had

come with terrible afflictions and many were like me with no physi-cal ailment. Some had been cured of cancer or other incurable dis-eases years before but continue to return. Why do people do this? The story I heard repeated was they receive physical healing, but it
was also something much more: a profound sense of inner peace, direction, guidance, and love of life itself.
I discovered I could go before this man incorpo-rated with the beautiful
spirit doctor of the day and ask for anything I want: a physical or emo-tional healing, help with romance, career, and even financial help. Even more amazing was that you received it!

One particular day at the heal-ing center changed my life. I had been in front of John of God ask-ing for assistance with my busi-ness when I was directed to sit a moment in meditation. I wasn’t in a particularly meditative state, but was more in my head about the details of the business transaction I asked about. Suddenly, from no-where, a beautiful white light came down from the ceiling and engulfed me in the most glorious feeling of pure intense love. So strong was the feeling that I couldn’t help but burst into tears of happiness. I had no idea why, but the love that I felt was so overwhelmingly beautiful. Then a voice came. It was not like a mediumship message, which is more like a thought. This was an actual voice, like a man was stand-ing next to me. The voice said, “But what is your higher purpose?” I knew then that everything I was asking was only a blip in my exis-tence. This feeling, this connection, this intense love was the real pur-pose in life. I knew then what it was like to be truly connected to the other side. What it is like to be in Divine presence and on your soul’s purpose. Sitting in complete awe, in a moment of knowing, tears streaming down my face, I said, “I want to share this with people.” The voice came back and said, “So be it.”
This was the day I talked to God.
I returned to Los Angeles with a new sense of purpose, a new sense of peace. Amazing changes occurred in my life. What was even more surprising was the energy seemed to return with me, just
as I’d asked that day to be able to share the energy. As I was invited to speak on mediumship and heal-ing, there was a special energy with me. As I shared my stories of John of God, people reported feeling the spirits working on them and some even experienced spontaneous healings. Had I truly been blessed to share this energy as I had asked?
I returned to that sleepy town in Brazil seven or eight more times, taking people and sharing the en-ergy with others back home. Each time there would be some miracu-lous event, some powerful miracle. There were so many that I wrote a book, Gail Thackray’s Spiritual Jour-ney’s: Visiting John of God, which brought even more surprises when people started to report receiving healings after reading the book. Some said they placed the book under their pillow and felt beautiful angels working on them.
I was later blessed to docu-ment the life and work of John of God through Josef Schoef-fmann’s film, John of God, Just a Man. Even the film carried this special energy. People reported receiving heal-ings while sim-ply watching the film!
Gail Thackray is a power-
ful medium who shares
her work as author of Gail Thackray's Spiritual Jour-neys: Visiting John of God,
other books on spirituality, and lectures.
2013 will bring her greatest blessing, be-
ing part of the team to bring John of God

W hen Barack Obama was elected as our president in 2008, everyone expected great change to come to America. I said then, it would depend on us as a mass
consciousness, not one man or his administration or even a Democratic congress. We are a nation that predominantly fears change if it means we have to disrupt the familiarity of our lives. We want the world to change and keep our creature comforts in place. Statistically, we know as the economy is shrinking, addiction is skyrocketing. The first inpatient facility devoted to Internet addiction opened recently and is just one way people use external substances to distract themselves from making radical internal changes.
If you really want to solve the health care issue, improve your health habits. Instead of thinking you need a different job, come up with a new idea. People who come seeking my advice as a career coach, panic after sending hundreds of resumes and receiving no response. I cannot tell you how many times I have as-
Five Tips for Thriving in Career Transition By Dr. Toni Galardi
sisted a client in thinking outside the box as to how to make more money and live even better than when they were working for someone else. It is common to want to reach for the comfort (there is that word again) of a steady income by looking for a job. Six months pass with no job, and you’re worse off. Now you’re de-pressed and defeated with no creative energy to con-sider another way to begin your next career chapter.
The following are tips for changing your career in tough economic times:
1. Ask, “What do I really, really, really want?” It is im-portant to put three reallys in the question. It will take you deeper into your true desires. For exam-ple, you may think that making a six-figure income is most important, but when you ask above, you may discover being happy with the work you do is what matters the most. This practice can help: Be-gin the day (before moving into action) with your eyes closed by visualizing yourself working in an en-vironment with the three qualities you want in your work. You don’t need details: just your three “must haves” to thrive at work. This affirmation from the Depression era of the 1930’s is what people used for financial breakthroughs when everyone else was buying into the economy: “I am doing joyous work in a joyous way. I give joyous service for joy-ous pay.”
Radiance January/February 2013 17
2. Expect success. Be aware of what you are thinking so when self-defeating statements begin, simply witness them and see them as stories that are not real and let them go.
3. Look for evidence your life is changing in a positive direction: A smile from a stranger, an extra bagel given to you by the person behind the counter, or finding a quarter on the sidewalk. It starts with little pieces of grace and gets bigger as you notice more abundance than what is lacking in your life.
4. Before you go to sleep, scan the day and write down the moments when you felt enthusiasm. Ask your unconscious to bring you a dream that guides you toward your next step. Many famous inventors and scientists discovered solutions to problems in a dream. When you awaken, write down what you remember, even if it doesn’t make sense yet. Be open to new ideas throughout the day. A great idea may come from overhearing a conversation in line at the local coffee house.
5. Count your blessings three times over the course of the day. In the Middle East, they stop and pray five
times a day. There is something to be said about this.
Look for signs of change. You may feel like you are in a winter cycle but spring is just around the corner!

20 Radiance January/February 2013
We are beginning 2013. Last year there was much confusion on what the significance of the end of the Mayan Calendar actually meant for humanity.
We wondered if it was going to be the end or the beginning of a new era. While many suffered tremendous loss and upheaval, either within themselves or their surroundings, the reality is we are here, ready to begin again. For me, a key question at the beginning of a new year is, how can I set the stage for living a happier, peaceful, love-filled, deliberate, and purpose-driven life?
Life in southern California looks very different to me, a recent transplant from Colorado and native New Yorker. However, on the inside, I am still me. When I delve deeper, I see everything and nothing has changed. How did I get to this place where everything is different (and I don’t mean in locality) and now have the life I always prayed for?
I got here by being given the gift of awareness. I was given a flashlight so bright nothing inside the walls
of Susanne could hide. Even with all of life’s distrac-tions, I embarked on a journey that led me to me. While that may not sound sexy or exciting, it is, and continues to be, one of the best journeys I have undertaken.
Awareness is a gift we’re born with. Notice a child’s utter delight at colors, shapes and sounds surrounding them. Even the sound of a sneeze can have them laugh-ing hysterically. Joy beyond reason. Joy for the sake of joy and nothing more. Some of us return to that time when we hear an incredible symphony or eat a piece of fine chocolate. However, what about ordinary events? How do we experience ordinary as extraordinary? The answer is awareness.
I was fortunate enough to discover a series of teach-ings a few years ago. While they are not unique to a par-ticular path, nor is it new information, it was new and timely for me. Timely because my hundredth attempt at another relationship with a significant other was not working. Timely because I could not seem to improve my daughter’s bi-polar disorder. Timely because my finances were upside down. And timely because I felt that no matter how hard I prayed, or how diligently I journaled, the result was the same. I was stuck in the same patterns everywhere I turned. ENOUGH! And so, as they say, when the student is ready, the teacher ap-peared.
What was the secret? The secret I missed? It was by Healing My Relationships, I would Transform My Life! At first, I was resistant. After all, I had already spent countless years and dollars trying to fix all the leaks in my life! Picture many leaky pipes contained within four

walls. No matter how many times I patched the leaks, another one would spring open. Soon leaks were pour-ing through the walls in the form of anger, resentment, frustration, and fear. It was like putting a Band-Aid on an infected wound and somehow hoping it would heal!
I now knew I needed a different approach. I was told to take a journey inward to personally and inti-mately meet me. I didn’t go in like gangbusters; I went in tenderly, sacredly, and patiently. The results of which have been like that of hiring a master craftsman; where no debris would be left behind. This process had me see the common denominator in these challenges was me. I was being taught what was showing up on my outside was a reflection of what was going on inside. By clean-ing up my insides, radical transformation would appear in my relationships.
I am happy to report my daughter has dramatically changed. She is off of medication and happily enjoy-ing her journey. I have been in the relationship of my dreams for five years, and we were married at the be-ginning of September. My finances are clear. I am now living in California, a place I’ve wanted to live since I’m 10-years-old. Coincidence? I think not. I was told that anything was possible if I committed to the process.

When I married into a Chinese family 30 years ago, I had no idea how tolerant my mother-in-law was in consenting to the marriage. A very traditional woman,
she didn’t tell me for a few years that because I didn’t have “moneybags” in my face, I wasn’t considered a lucky match for her son!
My mother-in-law introduced me to Chinese face reading, and at first I thought it was a ridiculous su-perstition. I found the whole idea of judging someone based on their appearance abhorrent. However, it was hard to ignore the fact she was always right about peo-ple!
Chinese face reading actually has nothing to do with “luck” and everything to do with learning to be true to your nature. An ancient branch of Chinese medi-cine, face reading was first used to diagnose someone’s health by evaluating the characteristics of their face.
However, physicians soon found your face also re-veals your true spirit; it’s the outer reflection of your
inner design. The size and shape of your features, and wrinkles that develop all give profound information about who you really are, what you need to be happy in life, and what your true calling will be.
It wasn’t long before face reading evolved into a way of helping people with guidance in love, career, and life path. Thousands of years ago in China, it was the face readers who were the original therapists and personal coaches!
What I discovered as I studied with many teachers over the years is face reading is the opposite of what I first thought. It’s not about judgment. It’s about com-passion. When you can read the faces of the people in your life, you can move to a place of compassion and acceptance. Even more importantly, face reading al-lows you to look at that reflection in the mirror and truly say, “I love you.”
One powerful way to get to that point is to under-stand the real meaning of your wrinkles, something many people feel anguish about. There are actually certain wrinkles you’re supposed to get; they’re very positive signs of per-sonal growth.
One example of these is “Joy Lines,” what we call “Crow’s Feet” in the West. Joy Lines are actu-

Other wrin-kles that are very good signs are “Purpose Lines,” what we call the naso-labial folds, the lines extend-ing down from the sides of your nose to the corners of your mouth. Pur-pose lines develop when you are in some way on your path and being true to yourself. The Chinese term
for these lines translates as “orders of law,” which means these lines appear when you’re living in ac-cordance with your own inner laws; you’re becoming more and more authentic. They don’t necessarily mean you’ve got life all figured out, but you’re heading in the right direction.
I’m so glad that more and more people come to me before having any cosmetic procedure, so I can edu-cate them in what the change will mean on a spirit level in their lives. I’ve worked with so many clients who’ve had their Purpose Lines erased with fillers, and they’ve all reported that afterwards they felt a sense of aim-lessness in their lives, as if something was missing.
Other common wrinkles are horizontal ones, which signify lessons learned and wisdom gained at certain times in life. For instance, any horizontal wrinkles on your forehead are signs you had challenges and learned from them during the decade of your 20s.
A woman who came to a recent workshop had a big “Aha!” moment about a wrinkle on her own fore-
head. The horizontal line marked the age of 23 as a time when she learned something important. She gasped when she heard this and raised her hand to share her story. When she was young, she married a man who be-came physically abusive.
When she was 23, she managed to escape the mar-riage, and remembered declaring to herself at the time she learned her lesson and would never again attract an abusive man. She said soon after, she noticed a hori-zontal wrinkle had developed on her forehead.
For the next 20 years, she never dated an abusive man. When she turned 43, she ended a long-term re-lationship and was dating again. She started worrying about looking old and had a cosmetic procedure to eliminate that line in her forehead. One month later, she became involved with a man who was abusive! By losing the line on her forehead, she’d also lost the im-portant lesson she’d learned in her 20s.
Fortunately, she got out of that situation without harm. Soon after, she remembers looking in the mirror with great dismay, to see that darn horizontal line back on her forehead! In my face reading workshop, she dis-

covered what this was all about: she had re-learned the lesson and so the wrinkle had returned. She said, “Now I will bless that wrinkle every day!”
Most wrinkles are positive signs of personal growth and spiritual development. You should wear them proudly! However, there are some I call “Guidance” lines, that mean you’ve gone slightly off-course in life and what you can do to bring yourself back into balance. One example is those vertical lines above the upper lip that some women develop in their 40s or 50s.
These lines are actually a sign of over-giving or un-der-receiving in life, or both. If you have these wrinkles, you may have a pattern of taking good care of everyone else except yourself! Your life may have gotten swept up in taking care of family and friends, and/or your job responsibilities, and you may be lacking good self-care.
When these wrinkles appear, it’s a sign that disap-pointment is getting stuck in your system, and a grow-ing sense of resentment about giving so much but not receiving enough back. This can develop into a situation where you become stuck overall as a result. It’s time to focus on the “cure,” which is developing a healthy selfishness. Put yourself at the top of your “to-do” list! Take time to think about what you need you haven’t yet received in life. You may be unconsciously waiting for life or another person to give you what you need, but recognize you can be your own best friend and give it to yourself. For some people, it might be an hour every day for themselves or a weekly massage; for others, it’s changing careers or leaving a unfulfilling relationship.

from people a month or two after they attended one of my workshops, saying once they learned the meaning of a wrinkle and made the small adjustment I recom-mended, the wrinkle disappeared! The lines that are symptoms of your energy being off-balance are the only ones we want to go away.
You were born with the features you have for a reason, and learning their meaning can help you under-stand who you really are inside. Wrinkles that develop also have important messages for you about your pat-terns of thought, emotion, and behavior, and how to live in alignment with your true nature.
When you can see the messages written on the fac-es of the people in your life, you can dissolve all barriers to love. When you learn to read your own face, you dis-cover your personal guide to a life with less stress, more joy, and the way to fulfill your purpose in the world!

“The countenance is the portrait of the Soul, and the eyes mark its intentions.”~Cicero
Soulful Radiance is not merely feeling and looking good. It’s the glow we identify with falling in love;
however, this can be temporary.
The radiance to which I’m refer-ring is the glow that comes when we truly feel at peace with the
cause we need to develop compas-sion for ourselves and each other. When we realize that communica-tion between the cells in our body is disrupted by those traumas re-sulting in irrational and unaccept-able behaviors. Becoming aware each incident establishes a pattern resulting in a self-fulfilling proph-esy. In other words, each incident creates a lens through which we view the world and unconsciously create our reality based on these distorted points of view.
Through dance, I have seen transformations occur more rap-idly than through talk therapy and hypnotherapy. Connecting to par-ticular music and allowing move-ment to flow unimpeded, and with-out judgment, creates a vacuum in which something new can be creat-ed. Within this vacuum, your mind stops the chatter, and your Self can emerge the very essence of Radi-ance.
Dance artistry and self-expres-sion provide a clearing where you no longer relate to the past. In-stead, you create and develop a new relationship to your Self. You create a limitless future when you open your heart and mind to the wisdom that has been dormant far too long because your survival

and fulfilling our potential. It’s the glow we long to access from our very souls.
It can happen in many ways; however, all require commitment and discipline. When we create the space to release the past, to for-give, and raise our being above all real, imaginary, physical, and emo-tional injuries and illnesses. Only when our past disappears, will we arrive at the possibility of a new, unpredicted future where we ask: “Now what?”
Futures are caused and should not be pondered. Being cognizant of past traumas is important be-

mechanism or ego was too busy re-creating what was familiar rath-er than allowing the possibility of something new, bright, and beauti-ful to enter your life.
I believe there is great grief, sadness, and depression when we live without expressing our true nature. I’ve always felt depression is an illness of the Soul. Your Soul cries out for expression… that’s its purpose in this world. Out of fear, anger, you may not be aware of the particular emotion that keeps you imprisoned. You deny yourself the gift of the only true, permanent ra-diance that is your birthright.
I have seen incredible changes through the evolution of this body of work. Nutrition is a key factor in creating change. You cannot achieve radiant vitality if what you ingest is dead and lifeless. The body requires healthy and vital food to repair and create new cells. Not only does the energy of the food come into play, the energy of the food preparer is also important. Negative thoughts and attitudes are pervasive. Be selective.
Becoming conscious of the pat-terns and beliefs created by those patterns is important to your health and well-being. When we learn to re-interpret the reason for develop-ing an illness, we can claim our free-dom. It’s not an accident that we develop physical conditions that do not please us. It’s the Soul’s loving way of calling attention to our need for change. Behind every physical condition, there is stuck emotional energy. Most often we are oblivi-ous to emotional blockages or pre-tend it has been forgotten and for-
given. The ego doesn’t see it that way and will perpetually recreate similar situations because that’s what it does. Hence, the illness or physical condition causes us pain.
Without judgment or criti-cism, understand there is need for change and create a safe environ-ment in which to do it. Dance art-istry and self-expression provide that for you. Each class starts with a warm-up period in which you prepare your body for the devel-opment of consciousness through dance. Consciousness through dance! What can be more exciting? In your heart of hearts, you know you’ve dreamt of personifying the full expression of the Radiance that lives in You!

What is Soulful Radiance?
By Renee Devereaux
32 Radiance January/February 2013
Contrary to what you might think after trying to keep your New Year’s resolutions in the past, only to see them dissolve in frustration and failure; the brain is the organ of change.
The concept in neuroscience called neuroplasticity demonstrates that the brain alters itself every time we learn something new. Our nerve cells are specially arranged by what we learn, remember, experience, feel, and envision. Our 100 billion brain cells are always communicating with the rest of our anatomy. If you learn even one fresh bit of information today, tiny brain cells will make new connections within the living lattice work of your system. In other words, when we really change our mind, the brain changes...and then we can effect permanent, lasting change.
Not more than forty years ago, there was a unani-mous belief in biology the brain was hardwired, mean-ing we are born with a certain amount of neurological connections and the finality in life was that we were go-ing to turn out like our parents.
However, with the advent of the latest technolo-gies in functional imagery, it is apparent we can make the brain work differently. In fact, research from the University of Wisconsin has proven something as sim-ple as attention or focused concentration is a skill just like golf or tennis. In other words, the more you prac-tice being mindful, the better you get.
In addition, functional imagery has proven clearly we also can change the brain just by thinking differ-ently. For example, people who never played the piano were divided into groups. The first group physi-cally played one-handed finger exercises like scales and chords, and, as a result of the new activity, their brains changed. The before and after results of the functional brain scans showed new areas of the brain activated. In essence, not only did they make a new mind, literally new brain circuits flourished.
Moreover, when a second group was asked men-tally to rehearse identical scales and chords in their mind for the same amount of time, they grew the same amount of brain connections as the group which physi-cally demonstrated the activity. Simply put, when we are truly focused and attentive, the brain does not

know the difference between what is happening in our mind’s eye and what is happening in the external world.
When you take the time from your busy schedule and intentionally dream a new reality, focusing on your goal of losing weight, quitting smoking, exercising ev-ery day, for example, remember your brain is rewiring to your desires, and your body is being reconditioned to prepare itself for that new event. Therefore, if you mentally rehearse every day what it would be like to experience any transformation, internal changes take place that begin to help you achieve your goal.
If you want to Make Change Stick, following are seven steps to start you on the path:
1. Intention, Intention, Intention!
Write a clear, simple resolution statement to tell your brain you mean it. Make sure your mission statement creates a positive feeling for you. Avoid words such as not and don’t. Make your resolution specific. Instead of saying you want to eat healthier, say, “I will eat a fresh healthy salad once a day, so I look and feel better about myself.” Your intention is your mental compass. The clearer your purpose, the better you know where you are going and how you will get there.
2. Sponsoring Thoughts!
List strong reasons about why you want to change. This is the biggest secret to making change stick. Feel passionate about each of these thoughts. Be specific. For example, if you want to lose weight, one reason could be to wear your mother’s wed-ding dress for your wedding ceremony in five months. If intention gives you your direction, then your sponsoring thoughts are the fuel to get you going each day in your direction.
3. Review, Remind, and Prime!
Create a plan and review your action steps daily. To get yourself in the right state of mind, be aware of your specific behaviors when you wake up in the morning and/or before you go to bed in the eve-ning. This exercise literally sets up your day so you stay conscious of your change. If you imagine your-self making the necessary decisions for that day,
you will begin to prime your brain automatically to follow your intentions. Your mental rehearsal can install the neurological hardware and software so you have the circuits in place to use when ex-ecuting your changes appropriately. For instance, in answer to a question like: “What do I have to do to get there?” Write down the action steps. For a question like “When do I need to have those steps taken?” Decide what steps you can take this day or even right now. Review and remind yourself of the entire plan and then take the first step. Think of this as reviewing your map on your journey to change. The more you do it, the easier it is to get to your destination.
4. Align Your Behavior to Your Intention!
Hold yourself accountable by demonstrating change in your entire day. One of the hardest parts of breaking a habit is not to make the same choices you made days, weeks, or months prior. When you

decide what you are not going to do that day, it will help keep you on the task. The biggest reason most people fall short of their vision relates to giving into familiar feelings. Get clear that when those feel-ings, cravings, and bodily urges show up that drive your devilish thoughts to concede, you have the will to conquer them. This is when you take your ‘new you’ for a test drive. Your daily goals will always be in alignment with your ongoing intention. Think of this step as small destinations or towns you arrive at along your journey.
5. Track Your Changes!
Create a reward system. Create a chart you can see or a ledger you review daily. Then check your wins off every day. You will begin to make your discipline and changes a new habit....and build new feelings of self-esteem, worth, and belief you are doing it. If, however, you fall from grace one day, make the choice to get back into your routine the next day without wallowing in failure, guilt, and self-depre-ciation. These emotions will surely undermine your efforts and cause you to return to the old self who may have already felt that way for too long. It’s good to see how far you have come and how you are doing.
6. Come Out of Your Resting State: Change Your Energy!
Change can be uncomfortable. When you are in the midst of change, it feels unnatural, unfamiliar, and uncertain because you are no longer ‘being’ the same person. You are in the unknown. You are changing how you think, act, and feel. Therefore, each day when you begin to lift yourself into a new state of being and raise your energy. Key ingredi-ents are questions like: “How would I have to ‘be’ today to master my day?” “How would I feel in my future when I am this person?” I like to say, “I can-not get up today as the same person who sat down. I must be in a new state of being and live from this level of energy.” Get excited knowing you can con-quer yourself in some way.
7. Cue Your Environment!
Nothing is more satisfying than to have little re-
minders to keep you on track. Place pictures, notes, word phrases, and/or vision boards where you can see them daily, such as at your desk, on the refriger-ator, or pasted to the bathroom mirror. Play moti-vational CD’s or MP3 files while you exercise, relax, or drive. These will keep you on track by reminding you what you are doing is important. The more you stay conscious of your future, the more inspired you will be to overcome your present reality.
These are a few starter steps. The more you do,the more you can Make Change Stick. It is possible to change. True transformation is possible for YOU!

Love, fear, joy, anger, sadness, happiness, and resentment.
Can positive or negative thoughts and emotions affect your body’s delicate biochemistry or the acid/alkaline pH balance?
Can positive or negative emo-tions affect your body’s physical, mental, and spiritual health?
Is a woman more likely to be-come pregnant if she eats a lot of vegetables or if she were to go on a long, relaxing vacation?
Do people who laugh a lot live longer?
Does your anxiety or fear of crowds, elevators, blood, heights,
spiders, hospitals, or airplanes somehow affect your health?
My theory of one sickness, one disease, and one health, which is set forth in what I call “The New Bi-ology,” not only considers how our diet affects our physiology, but also how our psychology affects our physiology and how our psychol-ogy affects our spirituality.
Not only does the health of your body affect the emotions of your mind, but your thoughts and feelings can affect the health of your entire body.
Bottom line, your mental state is critical. In many ways, your men-tal state, if it’s negative, can create more metabolic acids than the acid-ic food you’re eating.
In fact, you can create up to three times more metabolic acids from your thoughts or your men-tal and emotional state than from ingesting highly acidic foods like dairy, animal protein, sugar, and al-cohol.
Your thoughts are critical. Your thoughts or words do become mat-ter, and can affect your physiology in a negative or positive way. Your thoughts do become biology. The way thoughts become biology is as follows:
1. When you have a thought or say a word, it requires electrical or electron energy for the brain cell(s) to produce those actions.
2. As you carry on with that

thought, you are burning or consuming energy.
3. When you are consuming en-ergy in your thoughts, you are producing biological waste products called acids, which are an energetic waste product that can be measured in pH, oxida-tive reduction potential (ORP), hertz, and decibels.
4. If the metabolic acids from your thoughts are not properly elimi-nated through the four chan-nels of elimina-tion, which are urination, per-spiration, respi-ration, or def-ecation, then the acids from your thoughts are moved out into your connective and fatty tissues because they must not be allowed to affect the deli-cate pH of the blood that must remain constant at 7.365 to re-main healthy.
5. As the excess and overload of acids is sent into body tissues, it easily can lead to many symp-tomologies: lupus, fibromyalgia, Lyme’s disease, arthritis, muscle pain, fatigue, tiredness, obesity, cancerous breasts, prostate, stomach and/or bowels, indi-gestion, acid reflux, heart burn, heart attacks, multiple sclerosis, Parkinson’s disease, dementia, autism, etc.
For example, let’s say you’ve been experiencing sadness or de-pression. This downer feeling is coming from a negative experience you loop and re-loop in your head.
It’s like a mind movie, a mini-drama you keep playing over and over. Be-cause you constantly think about it, eventually you become concerned, worried, or preoccupied with it. In addition to the sad drama, you are upset you’re having the drama it-self. All of this thinking requires en-ergy. When you’re consuming ener-gy, you’re also producing metabolic acids.
Do you know any angry people?
Many people who become angry easily not only get angry at various people, events, and situations, but also eventually get irritated with themselves for being so angry at everything else. Anger requires a tremendous energy and emits a great deal of electrical energy.
You may have felt the vibration-al energy of someone who is angry. Or maybe you have felt your own anger and how it can upset your physiology, i.e., upset stomach and bowels with excess acid leading to indigestion, stomach pain, acid re-flux, or ulcers.
For many people, early child-hood represents some of the most fearful, vulnerable years. Have you wondered why you can’t remem-ber much before age five or six? Many of those years are filled with fears and tears, mads and sads, and
how about the “bads?” Do you re-member what happened when you were “bad?” Imagine the acid a child experiences by simply...
a. Remembering such a “bad” ex-perience or
b. Anticipating the possibility of another such “bad” experi-ence…or
c. Both! Some “children” remem-ber these events forever!
On the other hand, positive (e)motions, such as love, peace, hope, faith, joy, forgiveness, and charity can be alkalizing to the blood and tissues.These (e)mo-tions require far less energy and can cause you to be relaxed in your mind and stop the playing of some acidic movie in your head.
Students of higher conscious-ness know you can even enter into a state of bliss wherein you have no thoughts and produce no metabol-ic acid. What do you think is better for you?

38 Radiance January/February 2013
Welcome to 2013! A new year of possibility, opportunities, and all forms of abundance. The shift that occurred in December of 2012 introduced us to a
state of higher consciousness and spiritual understanding. The results of this change will be manifest differently for each of us and will quicken the effect of the universal laws that govern our world have on us.
The Law of Attraction assists us in understanding how everything in our world finds us. Like attracts like. The universe is energy, which vibrates at different lev-els or frequencies. We are magnets continually pulling in people, situations, and opportunities that match our own vibration. If we are not happy with our reality, we can change it. This is a wonderful part of being human – the power to create.
The Virtue Angels sit in the Realm of Creation and support us in understanding the essentials of cre-ation: freedom, faith, and trust. While transmuting our thoughts into physical form, these Angels aid with posi-tive, creative, and worthy vibrations. This opens our free will energy that allows us to accept our dreams as a reality, which in turn produces the physical effect of our desires.
Angel of FreedomThis Angel assists us to realize we are freedom it-
self and, therefore, can dream, visualize, and create our desires. We put ourselves into situations that limit our freedom only to understand what contrast feels like. Through these experiences, we grow and spread our wings to be whatever we want. True freedom allows us to express love in all aspects of our lives, which helps us create in truth and without limitations. Love helps us understand our thoughts and feelings come from a higher connection and must be fully expressed. In this state, we completely share ourselves and encourage others to be free in their own lives. Calling upon the Angels will remove any obstacles that inhibit the under-standing of our creative power and ourselves. We then clearly can see life for the joyful experience it is meant to be.
Angel of FaithWhen we face life challenges with faith, the true
benefit of growth is recognized. Faith encourages us to trust all is in Divine Order. We find peace in the jour-ney of life, understanding all has purpose and is part of the larger plan. When life is difficult and the path is not clear, call upon this Angel for the knowing that what falls apart falls together again. Faith is a cloak that is worn to protect us through times when doubt and wor-ry are all we can see. It is a gift that should not only be used for crisis, but also for everyday experiences. Faith encourages us to live in the certainty we are all eternal and forever guided.

Angel of TrustIn trust, we believe our lives are a co-creative pro-
cess whereby all that occurs does so for a higher rea-son. Seeing the universe as a trusting place, we realize difficult situations provide us with valuable opportuni-ties for learning. Trust lets us live a rich full existence; we take risks and move forward in the knowing all is right. This knowledge develops the recognition all oc-curs in Divine Timing. Timing is crucial. What we ask for is created the moment we think about it. However, if we are feeling unworthy, timing will adjust and our de-sire cannot find us as our worthiness is a vibrational link to our desire. Unworthiness comes from the illusion of fear and lack of trust. This Angel aids in removing con-fusion from our lives and brings clarity. Our gift of intu-ition is then stronger to hear the guidance and comfort continually available for all of us.
The following prayer will bring a closer connection to the powerful energy of these Angels:
“Please help me know my power by being aware of the Divine Light living and working around me. Help me see all this beautiful universe has to offer and be open to the present moment of creation. I know the present is all I require to live in harmony and call forth whatever I need. I ask to use the metaphor of nature in my life, since nature only exists in the moment and does not know a past or future. Assist me in the courage to know my wor-
thiness so I am able to receive my requests. Give me the ability to see myself as a Divine vessel of love and light and in that knowing I am blessed with all things wonder-ful. Thank you.”
We are in control of our lives. It is not left up to any-one else but us. Enjoy the miracle of creating an amaz-ing life journey. The infinite splendor of the universe will surprise us with many unanticipated events as our thoughts manifest into physical reality.

There is no other natural health expo quite like the Health Freedom Expo. What sets us apart is that the information presented is not just to sell products. It’s about people who are passionate about sharing information. It’s about how our health freedoms are being taken away and how we can actively become involved to protect them.
While other shows are designed to only sell products, the Health Freedom Expo is about presenting products and educating the public so they are empowered with up-to-date and accurate information. By presenting expert lecturers and educators, dynamic exhibitors, holding hot topic panel discussions and presenting dynamic documentary � lms, attendees get a complete picture of the state of the natural health movement and how it can bene� t them.
