Environmental Safety in Our Workplace and Home
 
This articles idea has come from past and present experiences:
 
Over the years, while working at various businesses, I became environmentally sensitive to a lot of toxins that are being introduced into our environment.  As I briefly watched the news on birds falling from the sky, one wonders when we will learn to be cautious about what we are introducing into our environment. 
 
Some of my personal healing has had to do with toxins and most of them from the companies that I worked for.  During one job as office manager for a hardwood flooring business, a lot of research was done from toxins in your home and business to learning how to heal the body.  Also during this time I was able to learn to work safely in the hardwood flooring industry along with being able to share information to home owners.
 
During my journey to Australia I realized why emphysema was prevalent in my family on my fathers’ side, along seeing this with some of my clients.  Black mold and other toxins that are being left unattended or ignored due to the lack of education, and this has greatly affected the health of many.  As I saw young people work in the underground train tunnels in Sydney, where the smell of the musty mold was really strong, you wonder about their health and wellbeing.  Here in Canada we have our employees working in old buildings and schools with mold.  What are we placing into our work environment that is causing either sickness or emotional disruption?  What changes are we not making because we believe it is too costly to do so?
 
What are we doing to our earth to extract minerals (gold), coal for export, spraying for crops, throwing out into the garbage tons of paper and cardboard, what are we placing into our water system and more.  Yes, we have all heard this before, yet it still needs to be addressed over and over till we get it. 
 
Start with listening to your body and monitoring your emotional well being.  What changes is your body experiencing?  Have you shared this with others in the work place?  What has been done to make the changes?
Are you too scared to leave your job for a safer one?  When we go to work to help a company increase their profits and do what we are trained to do, are we Safe?  Are we getting the good wages in exchange of our health? 
 
A job that I had in the summer under went a huge renovation and along with the stress of the move with the paint fumes (even the latex), to the drywall dust and more, my body reacted harshly.  There is a remediation site in town supposedly safely removing the creosote from the earth (sure could smell it when it was warm out) effected the quality of my daily walks.  Even after talking with those working for this site, I realized people learn to say what they are being told to say and accept what they are being told.  Another job, one of the owners place insulation in the air vents and I got a lump in my throat that caused breathing problems for several months. 
 
So please, as we ask others to share our space as an employee, employer, friend or family: think twice before you use something that could lead to a toxic reaction.  Take the time to remove what is in the home or office area.  We all depend on each other to provide a safe environment, whether we are human or animal.  Our top profit line does not give us the right to harm another living being.

Who Are The Hathors?

The Hathors are ancient Masters of sound and light here now to assist us with our planetary evolution and ascension.  They are the 'Healers of Healers', an ascended civilization of inter-dimensional masters, who embody Unconditional Love.  The Hathors have served our planet’s evolution and ascension for over 850,000 years. The Egyptian goddess Hathor represents strongly their feminine nurturing and uplifting presence.

A couple of years ago I realized I was working closely with the Hathors when one showed up briefly in front of me. This was after hearing strange but familiar sounds over and over in my head for a couple of days. After that experience, I began offering Sound Healing workshops.   I have been attracting people to my workshops to reawaken them or who are also aware they are working with the Hathors. These beings of unconditional love are working with more and more people to assist with the shift of consciousness we are now experiencing. On the Spiritual Group Tour to Egypt in March of 2011, I have been guided to hold a few ceremonies where our group will assist in anchoring the unconditional love energy of the Hathors into the planetary grids. 

When I was receiving the information for the Sound Healing workshop from the Hathor beings they shared an invitation:  
"Beautiful beings of light and love, we invite you to join us in our mandate to heal the hearts and souls of humanity.  Become a facilitator of the 'love vibration' and share it one heart to another.  We are the Hathors forever in your sacred hearts."

Tom Kenyon channeled the Hathors message with Virginia Essene in a book titled The Hathor Material in which they introduced themselves to him: “We are the Hathors. We come in love and with the sounding of a new dream reality for your earth. If you are ready to build the new world, we invite you to join us on a journey of the mind and heart. We are your elder brothers and sisters. We have been with you for a very long period of your evolution on this planet. We were with you in eons past - even in the forgotten days before any trace of us is known in your present written history.”

An excerpt taken from The Ancient Secret of The Flower of Life Volume 2 by Drunvalo Melchizedek:
“The Hathors were the main or primary mentors within the Left Eye of Horus Mystery School.  Though they were not from Earth, in the ancient days they were always here to assist us in unfolding our consciousness.  They loved us dearly, and still do.  As our consciousness became more and more third-dimensional, we eventually could no longer see them or respond to their teachings.  Only now, as we grow, are we beginning to see and communicate with them again.  The Hathor race is a race of fourth-dimensional beings who come from Venus.  You don’t see them on the third-dimensional world of Venus, but if you tune to Venus on the fourth dimension, especially on the higher overtones, you’ll find a vast culture there.  They are the most intelligent consciousness in this solar system, and they function as the headquarters or central office for all life under our Sun.  If you come into our solar system from the outside, you must check with Venus before proceeding.

The Hathors are beings of tremendous love.  Their love is on a level of Christ consciousness.  They use vocal sounds as their means of communicating and performing feats within their environment.  They have amazing ears.  They have almost no darkness to them at all; they’re just light – pure, loving beings.  Hathors are very much like dolphins.  Dolphins use sonar to do almost everything, and Hathors use their voices to do almost everything.  We create machines to light or heat our houses, but the Hathors simply use sound through their voices.

The Hathors are about 10 – 16 feet tall.  For a very, very long time they have helped people on Earth, almost always through their love and their incredible knowledge of sound.  There’s an initiation in Egypt where the sound of the ankh is created – this is one of the initiations in the Great Pyramid.  It’s a continuous sound that a Hathor makes, without stopping, for somewhere between half an hour to an hour.  It is used primarily for healing the body or restoring balance in nature.  It’s like when we sound Om and have to breathe at the same time.  The Hathors learned how to make a sound without stopping, breathing in through their nose, into their lungs and back out through their mouth continuously.  Conducting this sound-of-the-ankh initiation ceremony was only one of the many things they would do for us to create balance.  The Hathors were here on Earth helping mankind for thousands of years.

Breathing in and out at the same time and making a continuous sound without stopping is not unheard-of today.  An Aborigine playing the didgeridoo uses circular breathing.  He can make one tone nonstop for an hour by controlling the air flow into and out of his body.  It’s not that hard to learn, actually.”

Just know that you can benefit by calling on the Hathor beings to assist you with healing on a physical, emotional, mental or spiritual level.   As the Hathors work with you just allow yourself to connect to your sacred heart and be filled with unconditional love.

(how to keep your family allergy & toxin free)
 
This is a personal choice; I wish I had known the risks when my children were small.  Vaccinations are a personal choice, and no matter what some one else does, you need to go by how you feel about the vaccinations.  As a parent, I may have chosen a different path to the vaccinations when the girls were small, especially after today’s research has provided so much proof of the side effects that occur.  Another lesson for myself is that what is deemed as being in the “safety zone” or “below the requirements or toxins allowed by the health board” is created by someone or governing body that wants a product on the shelf.  Or sets a standard that is not safe, but is acceptable by the un- educated. 
 
Apologies if I sound harsh, but life and health experiences over the last 20 years have really shown me how we need to be aware of what is in our environment.   There are always 2 sides of the coin, 2 choices and we have the power to choose what is right for our selves and our children.  Following is a click that I was sent to share:
      “The science is clear.   The government and the drug industry are lying.  How the FDA helped drug makers hide the science.   Watch it, share it. A lot of children's lives are at stake.        Video:  http://www.brasschecktv.com/page/376.html   Brasscheck TV     San Francisco, CA
 
(food alternatives & health)
 
While traveling overseas I really enjoyed many different meals and styles of cooking.  I still chuckle, as I got to make a meal there and revealed the spices I was using, my brother told me he did not like oregano.  After we enjoyed the spaghetti sauce for the second time (left overs) he shared how much he enjoyed it and had dipped into the spaghetti sauce the night before.
 
Though I found some new dishes and new sauces I did missed the use of the spices that I use quit frequently.  As I ate baked pumpkin (found in many restaurants in Australia), ideas of added spices came to mind.  Everywhere we went pickled beet root was used as a condiment instead of dill pickles.  It was great to see as we under estimate and under use our beets. 
 
Each time we add a spice / herb to our cooking we are enhancing the healing abilities of our food that we consume.  Not only do the spices/herbs excite our taste buds, but our bodies also utilizes what it digests.  Ex: horseradish in a sandwich or on a burger helps the digestion and great for sinuses.  Cinnamon sprinkled onto the unperked coffee grounds provides a stronger and nice taste, but also is a natural antibiotic.  Excite your food and taste buds, use those herbs!!!!

Eyes: Good for strengthening the eye sight
Bones:  Used to help heal fractions, for swollen joints
Head:  Used for headaches, and concussions
Muscles:  As an anti-inflammatory it is used a lot by athletes to reduce bruises, sprains and torn ligaments.  Also used for rheumatic pain
Skin:  Do not use on open wounds or leg ulcers. 
Other:  Used in trauma situations to help reduce mental & physical shock.  Arnica provides better recovery than morphine.  Doctors have used arnica for internal bleeding, inflammation of mouth and throat.  Fast healing of wounds, bruises, sprains, irritation. 
Therapeutic action:  diaphoretic (open pores of skin, stimulate sweating & raise body temperature), diuretic (compound that promotes production and excretion of urine), emollient (soothes & softens the skin), expectorant (to help a person to expel excess phlegm from the lungs), vulnerary.
Methods used:  Arnica is used in lotions, salves, tinctures, homeopathy tablets.  Dilute tenfold if applied to open wound.  Used in poultice or compress.  Compress placed on stomach to relieve abdominal pains.
Caution:  No more than 5 drops of tincture every 3 – 4 hours.  Arnica contains the toxin helenalin and must be used according to directions, though the homeopathic Arnica is safer to use. 
From Expedia.ca :  “Arnica is generally safe when used topically (externally). Prolonged use can irritate the skin, causing eczema, peeling and blisters.  Also, people who are hypersensitive or allergic to the herb should avoid it.  Arnica is rarely used as an internal herbal remedy because it can cause dizziness, tremors, and heart irregularities. It may also irritate mucous membranes and cause vomiting. Large doses can even be fatal. Do not take arnica internally except under close supervision of your doctor. Homeopathic remedies, which use very small amounts of arnica, can usually be taken safely.  When used topically or in a homeopathic remedy, arnica does not interact with any conventional medications.”

This book was mentioned before and truly deserves to be listed again:    “Ask and it is Given”  by Ester & Jerry Hicks.   This book helps us to relook at our thinking patterns and learning to put in place more positive ones towards manifesting our dreams and goals.  It is an affirmation on many things, yet at the same time I am learning so much more.
 
                                      Gardening
 
Do you have your seeds ready to start your tomatoes, green peppers,
petunias and other plants for the garden?
It is a wee bit early, but ii is time to start our research and looking for alternative methods of renewing our plants, gardens and seeds.  After looking through some of the seed magazines, the reminder came on how we need to know what grows well in our climate and the length of growing days.   Just a 2 hour drive in Alberta can provide a huge change in growing time and weather.  Lethbridge can provide at least 2 more weeks in the spring and fall for warmer weather and seed start time.  Along with being able to grow plants that can be very iffy in Calgary.  Yet at the same time, we can still grow amazing vegetables 20 minutes north of Cochrane, where our spring is shorter, yet we have the shelter of trees and the hills.  But we would have trouble with some of the veggies and plants grown in Lethbridge, as we would need the green house or row covers. 
 
I am tempted to follow my neighbor this year: in Cochrane we both have a green house.  This amazing neighbor must have 10 green thumbs, as she grows huge green peppers, tomatoes and cucumbers along with herbs in her green house.  And I know it is all organic.  My green house could not boost the same story but I have fun working in it.
 
Horse manure is good for gardens and a good way to start to build up the soil again.  Adding your grass clippings and leaves can help to keep the moisture in.  Also having plants that are compatible together can make a big difference.  We found with growing dill, the plants need space so that the soil can dry a bit more, and if planted to close to other tall plants, they were more susceptible to getting aphids.

     111  or 11:11
111  or 11:11  What are you manifesting and how powerful is this number?  About 2 weeks ago, no matter what I did, there was the 111 or 11:11.  So each time I saw this number I reminded myself of the life I am starting to live and the goals that I see myself obtaining. 
 
Also for this year: 2011, if you were born in the 21st century  if you add the last 2 digits of your birth year and the age you will be turning this year, you will get: 111    ex: 1983  83 + 28 yr. old = 111      We are working with the vibration of 111.  Be very careful what you ask for, and I remember to ask for myself and not include others specifically.  As who am I to decide what is good for someone else?  Take a peak on U Tube for all the 111 videos, some amazing affirmations.
