May 2010                                                                                                      Issue # 44
 
May is a month of new beginnings, planting seeds to grow a future, to see dreams come alive, food for the fall and winter.  One seed or one thought can create amazing lives, health, food, a sense of peace, physical and mental well being.  Watch what you plant: whether a seed or thought - plant with love and good intention.   Only add healthy fertilizer and thought and you shall harvest a healthy future and crop.
           
 
                                                Feature Modality
 
Past Life Regression
 
Past life regression has been found to be a very effective way to unlock many of the phobias that we hang on to.   I started to read a book called: Many Lives - Many Masters by: Brian L Weiss.  A psychologist had a patient referred to him, after many sessions by other doctors that could not unveil what was troubling a young lady - who was scared to leave her home, along with many other issues that made her life extremely troublesome.  This psychologist was guided to do hypnotherapy and past life regression.  It was not long before they both saw the results.
 
Past life regression is done under the control of the client, as the client is fully awake, yet extremely relaxed.    The thoughts, visions, feelings and understanding is very strong during a regression.   When I did mine, I saw little but had the knowing of what was going on.  Was able to vaguely picture a place that I was in many lives ago, and the message I got was strong.  Clients see vivid pictures of other places, smells and feelings of being else where, the era and many times of others around.   
 
Thought patterns can be revealed and the belief behind the patterns can be released or undone.  These changes can be done instantaneously, and the emotions related to the old belief or thought, completely gone.   We can also find out that we are now safe, and do not have to relive a past life, this life can be created to be ore peaceful. 
 
After my past life regression I understood why I hid my instincts and felt uncomfortable sharing the information I received.  A past belief about having to protect my self.  We are safe today to be natural practitioners and share universal truth (which holds no ego or fear).
 
A past life regression helped to release one client from a repeated feeling of anguish, after she saw what it was related to.  Another saw the pattern of space, being alone, yet very content.   Another client was brought to a time in this life time to see the release of the built up anger that he was holding on to and realized the real source of the emotional upheaval.  Re-seeing the action can help us to let it go when we realize that the thought of the person / place has no significance any more, even though we are holding onto an old thought pattern of feeling. 
 
Hypnosis and Past Life Regression can help our mind to relax enough to go back and see old images, times, places, people, smells, feelings, happiness, fears, sorrow and more.  We can hold onto the happy moments and enjoy what it brought.  We can release the patterns that bring our life to a stand still, so that we can go forward with comfort.
 
We can learn to do instantaneous pattern releases and move forward with ease.   The feelings of the old thoughts are totally gone and the feelings of starting new is strong and exciting.

                                                Feature Article
 
Here is a story by Dolly Mae that reflects how we think, read the article and turn the story around.  For those who have chosen to lead an easier life, may be enjoying a much more healthier life than others that may be able to afford the expensive motels and vacations.   Our heart is in what we create, money nor materialistic belongings do not reflect love and health.  When I see someone, no matter who they are, I remind myself to see them with unconditional love.  Dolly Mae, thank you very much……..
 
Vacationing
 
Vacationing
It occurs to me while on holiday that many people never really get a vacation. They have an ill loved one than needs constant care; they don’t have enough money; they are afraid of leaving home or a hundred other reasons.
 
In a paradise setting I see extensive and filthy makeshift communities of homeless people. Tents and tarpaulins litter the beachside park. My heart goes out to them in compassion for their choices and willingness to accept such limitation; but I do not see them as victims.
 
Saying Yes
Our job as enlightened beings is to say yes to it all. We often feel sorry for homeless people or minimum wage workers. Compassion is one thing. It is lovely, aligning and conscious of our at-one-ment with others. Feeling sorry for others is another thing. When we feel sorry for people we have simply forgotten they are creators, not victims. We have judged their circumstances as awful.
 
Freedom
Oftentimes we do not even know the real story behind their situations. For some, such ‘housing’ is a step up from something. It may represent freedom from abuse, bills, burdens, family, debt or even isolation.
 
Just One Choice
I’m not being Pollyanna here, but we need to see these makeshift communities as just one choice in our reality. In the midst of such wealth and abundance they have made hundreds of thousands of small decisions that resulted in their reality being what it is. And so have we. We are, for the most part, comfortable in the one we have chosen. Yet we are living in a reality that is would be deemed substandard from a $5,000.00 per night hotel room. 
 
Perspective
If a wealthier person felt sorry for you in how you live your everyday life, you’d be insulted, and rightfully so. Such condescending attitudes make many presumptions about what pleases you, your comfort zone and your perceptions. It says everything you think and all you have become are wrong.  How pompous and arrogant is such an attitude! The same is true when you feel smug and superior looking down on the tent dwellers.
 
All is One; All is Now
If we but remember we are all one and all is happening now, we will understand things differently.  Everyone else: filthy, wealthy, grieving, mentally ill or deliriously happy is an aspect of you. They are offering you an opportunity to see a facet of yourself in a different mirror, through different eyes. Embrace that awareness of the choices you could have made in this lifetime… that some part of you did make since we are all One; and be grateful. Be grateful that you have decided to emphasize a different facet of your beingness this time around that suits your comfort zone..
 
Comparison
Because we live in a world of duality everything is looked at in comparison to something else. We do this to make informed choices. However, if we make comparisons to feed ego, to feel superior to someone else or to create separation, we have failed in our job as enlightened beings. Judgment separates. Acknowledging facets of the crystals we are unites us in a common bond of oneness. Preferences are not steps up a ladder; just choices based on myriad experiences that brought us to the now moment. Live in that now moment, make informed choices and remember the seed of each of us is in each other.

(food alternatives & health)
When we used supplements, we need to remember to take a break from them for awhile.   This allows the body to start to function properly on its own and allows the
body to detoxify from any residual supplement that did not thoroughly absorb into the system.  The following is from experience:
 
Was listening to a fellow talk about Diabetes and how too much Vitamin B can harm the kidneys.  The vitamin B's can leave a build up in the kidneys.  I was sure that the body flushed out the unused Vitamin B.  If this is true it would make sense why one could get a bone spur (kidneys not functioning properly), and fluctuation in weight.  Water retention.  
 
I have used Vitamin B's for quite awhile and the last spree was for about 2 years.  Too long with out a break.   I am so grateful for the Vitamins as they help us to supplement what our body is using up fast.  But we do need to take breaks from our vitamins and herbs unless otherwise instructed by a doctor.  We can also add more of the food that is loaded with the specific vitamins that we need.  Look at:  Veggie Nutrients and Vitamins and MInerals and see what would intrigue your appetite and feed your requirement of vitamins and minerals.   
 
(herbs and more)   
Oregano is a very tasty herb that is used in many recipes, especially sauces.  My favorite is oregano in spaghetti sauce.  As a herb: very healing and tasty.  As an oil: very strong tasting, yet very strong antioxidant.
I ran into an article on using oregano oil to get rid of parasites on horses and ring worm.  We can also use the oil and a powerful antioxidant, to get rid of parasites and antifungal.

                                      Gardening
 
We are entering my favorite part of the year.  The buds are coming out on the trees (in Alberta), and in B.C. and Ontario they probably are all out in bloom and lots of flowers.
 
With Alberta being a colder climate, we get to play in the green houses longer and start a lot more seeds inside.   This spring, I rounded up all my flower pots outside, got seeds in them and they are in the green house getting watered and staying a bit warmer till the last frost goes.  Going to pick up some blood meal to try to keep the squirrels out of the planters.  They love to bury peanuts in them and the plants don’t get to grow.   
 
Planted the garlic bulbs (they could have gone in the garden in the fall), some sunflower seeds and started to rearrange one garden.   Have a blueberry bush that is too close to the fence, and the Saskatoon one needs to be farther away from the blueberry.  (Would I get Saska-blues?)  
 
When I get the chance I visit some of the sites below for ideas, and safer gardening practices.  Last year I did not use any fertilizer on the roses and did not get any aphids.  Either lucky or maybe the fertilizer creates something to attract the bugs.  And I had an awesome crop of roses last year.  
 
We also get the little ones into the gardens, planting and watering seeds.  They love to see what grows and love to eat the produce after.  Even a small flower pot can bring a bean or pea for the kids to eat.
 
Enjoy the spring and every year I am amazed at  how a small seed, or the roots of one plant can bring such amazing flowers, fruit or veggies.  New beginnings, sun and lots of fresh air.
