Feature Story

Manifesting health, wealth and a sense of well being

Many years ago, I dreamt of having a home with a huge yard so that I could have as many gardens as I wanted. About 7

years later, I was in that home with so much yard, I could do several cart wheels without hitting a fence. This was my first

introduction to how manifesting worked. Later, I had realized how many of my other dreams came true. Manifesting is powerful

and we need to be careful on what we manifest.

I receive many email newsletters and they all seem to have the message of manifesting abundance and prosperity. Yet

how many times do we really sit back and thank God and the universe for what we truly have in our lives and note what we have

already manifested. I am that, I am. (Moses Code). We can manifest a wonderful life when we realize that we truly deserve to

have it and let go of our fears…..

Wealth in my health: I have always told myself that I have no time for being sick and only want a healthy body. I am open

minded when it comes to wholistic healing. Our health is what we manifest or create. If we do have a distress in our health ex:

cancer: how do we see the situation and how do we work with it? I have seen so many people live good lives many years beyond

what the medical profession had predicted for them. How did that person manifest their future? I want to live till my early 90’s

and I will manifest and create that healthy body that I need, wholistically.

Wealth in family & friends: I am blessed to have the family members that I have, even if we have a moment when we are not

at peace with each other. Each person has brought many fond memories, learning, love and fun into my life. At a moment in my

teen age years, I saw a vision of myself being with children. That moment and that vision took me forward to more positive times

in my life and that was what I kept manifesting. I can see a healthy family relationship for us all. How will the rest of the family

receive it? What do they manifest?

Wealth in finances: How do you really measure your wealth? I am learning to see my life that it is as it should be at the time

and that I am provided with what I need at the time. I do work hard, I do my best at being honest, I am grateful, and try to provide

a beneficial and helpful service as I work. I see my businesses growing and the finances coming in to provide the services that

that both businesses offer. We need to accept the fact that we are worthy and capable of doing the work that our hearts desire

to do. Along with realizing that the right financing will come at the right time. My second business is a huge example of that.

Our wealth can be measure in health, family, friends, emotional well being, spiritual well being and finances. How do you

measure your wealth? Your daily income? The size of your home? The clothes you wear? Your happiness? The blessings in

your life? The moments with family and friends? Your health?

Each day as I go along my journey, I am learning to give and receive. I enjoy giving so much that I forget that I am worthy

enough to receive. And when I do accept what has been offered to me or my family, with out hesitation, I know that I have finally

opened my heart and am grateful to the universe returning what I have shared and that I have realized that I too deserve to receive.

Each time we listen and open the doors to new opportunities and ideas, we are manifesting that future that we want. If we

do not listen, and close the door to ideas, how do we grow? Will the manifestation continue? I had a conversation with someone

while working in a market garden. The person mentioned that each person should just be responsible for their section or area. Yet,

I asked: how do you make changes and grow if you do not work together and create that success together? You need to share

ideas to create a successful business. Open the doors….

I am learning to release my fear of poverty or poverty thinking. To not constantly think about where the next dollar is coming

from. Learning to not get caught up into what some else thinks is good for me. I am learning to work for what my heart wants to do.

Respect my instincts about what is good for my future. I am learning to be open to positive energy and not live in a world filled with

pressure, expectations, demands, criticism, peer pressure and fears.

As I worked with the universe to create a directory and wholistic community, I wanted to work and learn with other

practitioners. When someone told me a few months ago about another networking group I had mixed feelings: then knew that

I had to let those thoughts just go. Today, I am honored to be networking with the group that I heard about, as they have created

what I was manifesting with the wholistic community. I opened another door. This is another form of abundance in my life and

learning.

I am grateful for every email that I receive on abundance and prosperity, because I thank God and the universe that I am

able to see the abundance in my life. As we work together, we are creating a future with an abundance of love, peace, good health,

finances and an amazing growth of spiritual well being. You and I deserve to have the best, are you ready to accept and acknowledge

what you do have, in order to go forward to receive more?

Health Corner

(how to keep your family allergy & toxin free)

Laundry soaps and fabric softeners: with fragrances can be pretty harmful to our health, sinuses and even nervous systems.

I was sitting in the doctor’s office, and my granddaughter (age 6) handed me a small magazine about pregnancy and expecting

Mothers. Found an article that I wish I could have photocopied as it rang a bell and resonated with how I feel about smelly laundry

soap and the fabric softeners. Any time I am around those two products or bleach, I start to get a headache. The article stated

how test results are starting to show the effects of the fragrances on children and families. Not only can the fragrances cause sinus

problems and headaches, but also have an effect on the skin and in the end your liver. Try to find products that are fragrance free,

and many health stores will carry these safer products. I will even open the lids and smell what is inside before I decide to buy

something.

(food alternatives & heath)

Wheat, sugar and dairy free for 12 days: while doing a detox. This detox that I did, called for no wheat, sugar, or dairy (along

with some other restrictions) and this time I saw another change in my health. With the Wild Rose Detox you can still take your

vitamins and supplements, but for some reason I choose not to. What I did notice was that I was not getting as tired and my energy

greatly increased. I did not take my vitamins again until the last couple of days.

Last weekend I was doing some research for a client, and found a note that Wheat is one of the major contributors to depression.

Wheat can also cause allergies to accelerate and make one feel more tired. The wheat glutton has been linked to depressive

disorders.

After doing a detox or food elimination, slowly start to add things back into your diet. This way you can see the difference and

what effect the food product has on your overall health. Maybe try introducing a product: wheat, and see what happens over the

next day or two. Then add the diary: but one at a time example: cheese, then the milk.

Over the last few months, I have been a lot more tired than normal and adding more vitamins etc into my daily routine. Now that

I know that the tiredness is linked to either the diary (cheese) or the baking I do (wheat), I have a better chance to regain my

energy and keep it up and be more than willing to pay attention to what I am consuming.

In last month’s newsletter: we mentioned Raw Food. Was just sent a newsletter that had a link to Raw Freedom Community.

They have raw food recipes, visit: www.rawfreedomcommunity.info.

(books)

Course of Miracles by Foundation for Inner Peace & New Earth by Eckhart Tolle

Both of these books are a wonderful start into seeing how we view life and how we can become more positive and less

dramatic in thinking, acting and reacting.

Course of Miracles has lessons that take you a year or more to complete. At the end your perception of life and your well

being has changed in so many wonderful ways. From seeing with new vision to releasing fears and conditioned thinking, to

learning to become more peaceful and a lot happier.

New Earth: does not take a year to compete, but can take a person quite a while to relearn to think and react without depending

on the ego and learning to live without drama.

As we learn to live as one, our world becomes stronger, more peaceful and we become more supportive and accepting of each

other for who we are. I highly recommend both books, take your time, enjoy and acknowledge yourself for each step you read

about and have already brought into your life. For each step you need to relearn, enjoy the change and gratefully accept the

peacefulness it brings.

Message Board …..

Spiritual Wellness Group: A couple of months ago I was made aware of the wonderful group that has originated in Airdrie, AB.

Chris has brought together a dream and insight into what is needed in our community and a way to get practitioners together to

network, learn and share. Please visit: www.spiritualwellnessgroup.com and find out when the next meeting is in your

neighbourhood or how to get involved. I have had the pleasure of attending a gathering and it was a wonderful evening and way

to meet practitioners, etc.

My Favorite Wholistic / Alternative ……

Act Green for kids and families: a wonderful way to get kids and parents more interested in the environment.

www.scholastic.com/actgreen is a site that can help us to work together to save energy, etc. We say we are all doing what we

can, and how many can actually pass the little quiz in this one? Our household still has some skills to sharpen up on.
