Issue # 59
We are all working together to provide a healthier,
happier and safer world.
It was not easy for me to get into the house to finish of the newsletter
for August. Beautiful weather, farmers markets, visiting with family,
long walks outside, eating a piece of Kale, getting very easily
distracted….. Saskatoon’s are almost ready to pick (some nutritional
and medical info below). I hope you are enjoying the summer, living in
good health and enjoying every moment of this amazing planet.
Feature Treatment
BodyTalk, Communicating with the Body
My client lay down on the table and reported that she felt suicidal at
times. Medications had thus far failed to work effectively for her.
Over the course of several days following her initial session where
emotions linked to lifetime events, she showed a distinct improvement
and after a few additional sessions she reported feeling relieved of her
depression and even optimistic. We were not finished however as a few
other issues came to the forefront relating to self-esteem, body image
and a long-standing pain in her shoulders. I continued to use BodyTalk
and started to incorporate other modalities to enhance the benefit. As
seen in this example, the body stores the changes made by the brain as a
memory, each session building on the previous one. The analogy to the
peeling of an onion or the surfacing of the unseen portion of the
iceberg certainly applied here. An athlete came in for work on his
injuries and BodyTalk identified extensive grief over a lifetime. The
next time he returned, Quantum Touch helped the pain to recede prior to
his next BodyTalk treatment. In this situation, my client had chosen
BodyTalk for pain relief as his first priority. While BodyTalk chose to
address grief prior to pain management, the system recommended Quantum
Touch for pain management.
BodyTalk is a unique holistic healthcare organized structure which
incorporates techniques and philosophies from many other systems
including: the energy dynamics of Acupuncture, Osteopathy, Applied
Kinesiology, the philosophy of Chiropractic, Hatha Yoga, Advaitic
philosophy, concepts from the fields of Information Science,
Informational Management, Dynamic Systems and Quantum Physics to name a
few.
The body addresses healing in a certain sequence, balancing the
energetic processes in the best manner possible. The practitioner acts
as a facilitator between the program and the innate wisdom of the body
to heal itself. Neuromuscular testing provides the yes and no answers
required to proceed through the Body/Mind complex. Answers are provided
by the body which also addresses the sequencing or priorities to be
addressed. A core BodyTalk principle is that the brain reflects illness
held in the body and hence the brain is a main focus for change,
including the enhancement of left/right brain function. BodyTalk is
recognized as a system which also addresses personal development and
spirituality.
It allows the energy systems of the body to become synchronized for
optimal function. The stressors of life can result in a decline in
functional health and well-being as a result of a disconnection of
communication at the basic level of cells and atoms. Re-establishing
energetic circuitry results in improved function at all levels, these
being physical, emotional, mental, symbolic and spiritual in nature.
This is a gentle and non-invasive modality which clients also report as
providing a very comforting experience. On a humorous note, I work with
massage therapists who sometimes refer clients to me. Occasionally I
have to inform my clients to remain fully- clothed.
Through a map of the Body/Mind Complex, the BodyTalk practitioner makes
use of left-brain logical linear thinking. Communication formulas become
more comprehensive as the practitioner engages right-brain intuitive
lateral thinking to establish the most detailed link possible. After
locating and linking up different areas of the body requiring enhanced
communication, the practitioner taps above the head, to register links
in the brain. Tapping over the heart stores the memory of these links.
Thus begins the process of enhanced communication leading to improved
function. BodyTalk has certainly enhanced my practice and is gaining
popularity many of my clients.

Feature Article
Eclipses and Your Emotions
Have you been reflecting on the past lately? Past relationships,
grandparents, old lovers, prior homes, trips you took, or the way things
used to be when you were young? The power of these three eclipses
(Solar: June 1 and July 1, 2011. Lunar: June 15, 2011) triggered these
reflections. Don’t be surprised if it continues for a time, then just
fades into your being here now. Eclipses have a powerful effect on our
physical and emotional bodies. Just as the Moon affects the tides and
monthly cycles, human and animal, and all planting cycles on the earth,
it affects your body. Large heavenly bodies affect us. They are
supposed to. It is being done FOR us, not TO us.
The Lunar eclipse, in the middle of the two solar eclipses created a
fast flowing stream of emotions like a lazy river that comes to a
narrow passage and being forced through becomes turbulent, white water.
Very scary. Very necessary. Very exciting. Very perfect.
It was time to look at those old emotional patterns; to let them surface
up from the subconscious. Perhaps you were fired from a job, left
behind in a relationship that ended unexpectedly or began wondering
about your great grandparents and what life was like for them. Being
able to see your past in terms of patterns is an excellent opportunity
to see what is unfinished emotionally.
Recently a client realized her unexpected memories of a long ago love
were being brought up into her consciousness so she could see those
unresolved causing her health issues today. They began then, a complex
dynamic of self worth blows leading to chronic health issues: unmarried
and pregnant; abandonment by her parents and fiancé, a quick rebound
marriage, an abortion and a divorce. Rejection, abandonment and lack of
control were internalized. Her willingness during the time of these
eclipses to remove the veil of forgetfulness will lead to her healing of
this chronic health issue. Using the energy of the eclipse to embrace
the shadows and light of her emotional wounding has triggered her
healing.
The Moon is our nearest orbiting heavenly body and so it has its very
powerful effects on us. It has triggered many mysteries attempting to
understand and explain its influence on us. In Latin it is Luna, the
root word for lunacy and lunatic; reflecting the emotional upheaval of a
full moon on humans. Police reports show increases of suicides,
irrational behavior and violent outbreaks during the time of the full
moon. Earthquakes, high tides and flooding are more apt to occur during
full moons as its affect on water occurs. The human body is mostly
water, thus we are greatly affected.
The Moon has no light of its own. It only reflects the sun. The Sun is
solar, male energy because it actively pushes energy out, heat, light
and solar flares, and is dynamic in its nature. The Moon is passive in
its nature, feminine. It does nothing in and of itself. It simply
reflects the light of the Sun; but in doing this nothing, it controls
all life cycles on this planet. The power of this passive, nurturing,
feminine nature is easily seen. The Moon affects the subconscious and
is connected to Sleep and your dreams. In ancient teachings it is
associated with the back of the neck. This is considered to be the
place of reception of spiritual information, often through the neck and
throat area. This ability we have to use the lunar energy to bring
information up from the subconscious for observation and review is most
useful by analyzing our dreams. Learn to wake up and write them down.
They are an invaluable and free tool to self understanding. Your dreams
speak to you in metaphor, using images particular to you that help you
understand what is going on daily for you. Dreams help you work out
everyday events.
Amazingly the moon affects the involuntary body functions: breathing,
heartbeat, reflex actions and reflective thinking. It governs those
subconscious actions of the body just as it governs the automatic
actions of the Earth: tides and tectonic energy movements. The Moon lets
us experience the twilight part of our reality; our subconscious. In
doing so, we get to choose either to hide in the shadows with
uncertainty, poor vision and half truths; or to seek the light of
clarity. Many on a spiritual path take a turn at this junction choosing
to move into ego, pretending they are superior to others and they simply
ignore their shadow sides.
A spiritual path cannot be completed without embracing one’s shadow
side: that hidden part of our nature that stumbles, fears and has self
doubt. On the ascension path, all of us, dirt as well as shiny halo, go
together or we don’t go. Our job is to embrace that shadow into the
light of allowance, acceptance and love. If this had happened earlier
for my client, she would not have her chronic illness. The same is true
for many others. But we can set aside these issues and move beyond them
by embracing it all now.
We do not have to fix anything, simply love it. We do not have to dwell
in the shadow; simply use its half light energy to begin awareness and
acceptance of ourselves. We are all doing it perfectly, no matter what
we are doing. We can’t get off the path of enlightenment; we just take
detours.
As we awaken from the dream of illusion in this third dimension reality,
we become aware the whole purpose of our existence was to awaken. The
moon has done its job. It has let us glimpse our shadows and our light.
It has shown us our subconscious. We now choose how to proceed by
choosing the low vibrational path of service to self or the high
vibrational path of service to other-selves, for we are all One.
Everyone is a reflection of some aspect of you.

The Saskatoon tree grows as tall as 26 ft, and can provide fruit for
over 30 years. The trees are found in Alberta, Saskatchewan and
Manitoba in Canada, from the river banks to the hills. This fruit bush
is easy to grow and loves the sun. For families, this tree spreads well
and is a welcome addition to any ones back yard. Saskatoon tree farms
are found in the prairies and the in the hills.
The leaves are oval, the flowers are white, the berries are a dark
purple when ripened. Along the coast they are ready to eat early summer
and in land (Alberta) the berries are ripe towards the end of July and
beginning of August.
The fruit has a taste like almonds, almost nutty tasting, yet a distint
taste that can be detected with in a small amount mixed with other
berries.
Saskatoon’s are high
in antioxidants and have been used for medicinal purposes. The berry
can help with inflammation, pain, for cardiovascular disorders, support
for the immune system, healing of the colon.
Studies have found that the anthocyanins: the antioxidant pigments from
fruit and veggies, have a fighting compound against fat cells. This
could be used in the prevention of weight gain. The fibre in
Saskatoon’s has helped to reduce cholesterol which is healthier for the
heart. The berry’s fibre aids in controlling the blood sugar which is
good for those who are diabetic.

Gardening
Time has come to start harvesting our gardens. Had the pleasure to try
some of the neighbor’s lettuce and a bucket of leaf veggies from the
farm. My garden is late, but being able to enjoy the produce from it is
my most favorite time of the year.
For those of you that want to save the fruits and veggies for the colder
months, the sooner you preserve / freeze the product, the fresher it is
really is. Those who go to the grocery store and seek the “freshest”
veggies, are also paying for the chemicals that help keep the veggies
fresh. Even a couple of days after picking the nutrients are starting
to go down.
I try to plan the preserving the produce within a day of harvesting.
Last night I got to freeze a few strawberries after enjoying some for
dessert, picked, cleaned and frozen in the same day. Going to pick some
spearmint leaves tonight for tea and I have some in a jar in the cold
room to first make vinegar, and then try turning the rest into a
spearmint sauce. Your herbs are best before the flowers start to
bloom. Will pick off the leaves and dry them in a hanging basket for
the tea. I do the same with the sage, and parsley. My dill is frozen
(the frozen dill smells amazing when you use it) as it seems to pull out
the oils of the dill and the aroma is stronger.
