A Mid Summers Dream : Hamiltons Colour Festiv
www.gustomagazine.ca
Gusto sat down with Mark Gowland from pure creation comany and got the latest
details on Hamiltons own festival of olours - Mid ummers ream.
hat is Mid ummers ream?
A Mid Summers Dream is a cultural festival and food
aiser, with its roots based from Holi or the Festival ofColours that originates from India. The concept is thathe colours break down all barriers that people have
with each other, caste, race and religious beliefs are all
dissolved for one day. The colours really do this, and itsquite extraordinary.
started it because I wanted to do something amazing,
wanted to throw an epic festival, and this is a work inprogress, but its a labour of love. I also wanted to dosomething really great for others too, which is why the food -raiser aspect came into it.
read somewhere that the way to enlightenment was to serve people and feed people,and I thought, if everybody at the festival does it - maybe we can all get enlightened.
hat are the main events that eole an looking forward to?
People can really look forward to the colour throws, the music, art installations, and the other great things I have
planned for this year. The colour throws will always be the main draw, and as it grows bigger, it will get better. Im rhappy that I have dierent cultural musicians like Neeraj Prem and the Ohni Kara Drummers this year. I think mostmportantly its the vibe of A Mid Summers Dream that is most extraordinary. It has the capacity to change you, ju
because of the vibrations alone, I felt it, and I know others did too.
How an eole artiiate?
People can come out, there is no admission charge. They can choose to watch if they want, or they can purchasehe paint powder for the colour throw. (Which is one for $3 or two for $5) I never wanted to give out the feeling of
exclusion to anybody because that is in direct contrast to what the festival is all about!ugust, 17th, 2013

o you feel moody, cranky, restless, red? Do you suer from
nxiety, headaches, migraines, Hot ashes?
b .
Many women have the image of Yoga as hard postures
nd twists, channg and dierent music. However,
he movement of yoga is so much more. If you
racse yoga regularly it can help you by calming your
erves, relaxing your mind, and relieving you of many
enopause symptoms. How? Well Yoga naturally helps
o enhance mental clarity and emoonal balance. Yoga
ill help you see aging not as a loss but as a gain of
isdom, strength, health and intuion. Yoga is for every
ge and every stage of a womens life.

his is one of the most common symptoms. These power surges in a womens
ody produce heat, which can disappear as quickly as they appear. Ways to
alm and cool are some restorave poses. Any tension in the body can make
ot ashes worse, so using props such as bolsters, blankets and blocks to
elp support the body are a great idea. So during forward bends you can
ace your head on a bolster and this will help calm the body and relax the
erves. Supported reclining poses such as Supta Baddha Konasana, help with
elaxaon and allow the body to soen, and release ghtness in the chest
nd belly.
so Inverted poses like the bridge pose can help your body to lower blood
ressure relax and balance your hormones. Since stress or tension ampliesearly all menopause symptoms, the Bridge Pose can help you manage stress
nd potenally reduce hot ashes. Using a bolster helps to relax even more
eeply in a Supported Bridge Pose.
nxieTY, iRRiTaBiliTY, and insoMnia:
When a person is under stress, the sympathec nervous system responds by
ccelerang the heart rate, slowing down the muscles of the digesve tract,
nd increasing blood circulaon to the brain to ght the stressor.
nce the stress dissipates, the parasympathec nervous system responds by
oing just the opposite; slowing the heart rate back to normal, smulang
he smooth muscles of the digesve tract, and bringing the bodys systems

The summer months remind me of the carefree days of being achild. Lemonade stands, hours of playing outside, sprinkler systems
and barbecues; trips to the local variety store to buy popsicles and
one cent candies; lazy days spent up north at the cottage. As I write
his now I can hear the exuberant shrieks and giggles of children
playing outside, long past their usual bedtime. Reecting on my own
childhood, I realize how in so many ways, at age 37, I am exactly thesame me as I was then! After many years of yoga and meditation
practice, transformational excursions, retreats, self-development
courses and spiritual self help books, Ive discovered that at a base
evel I still have the same strengths, weaknesses and tendencies I
had as a child. Heres a funny story to illustrate this;
A few years ago I was teaching yoga to a group of my old highschool
riends. I would meet them at one of their workplaces in the evening
and take them through a ow practice. A few weeks in, I noticed
he girls were acting strangely and a little cold. One of them pulled
me aside and said she needed to talk to me about something that
was bothering the group. We feel badly when you show us your
handstands because we cant do them. It feels like you are showing
off. Do you think you could tone it down a bit?. I started laughingand replied You have known me for 25 years-I have always been
a show off! Its who I am! Also, handstands are the one thing in my
fe I excel at and I intend to continue to celebrate that, just as I
encourage each and every one of you to celebrate what you excel
at. I cant do a power point presentation, run a restaurant or cut hair
ke all of you but I can stand on my hands and I plan on doing so
every chance I get!
She started laughing and in that moment I realized how often we
downplay our strengths and gifts in order not to shine. The ip
side of this is that we can also get defensive when called out on
our weaknesses. Wouldnt it be refreshing to fully own, and take
esponsibility for all of who you are? I look back to when I was a child
and I am still essentially the same person-I am outgoing, funny and
ke to lead; Im also impatient, disorganized and have a tendency to
splash water all over the bathroom. As a human being, I will never
be perfect and will always be a mash-up of both good and not-so-
good qualities. As time goes on, I nd my weaknesses to be like old
riends who come around every so often to remind me they are still
here and that I am indeed, human. Rather then condemn myself for
not being perfect, I like to imagine that up in the heavens, before my
ncarnation as Katie, my soul went shopping and carefully chose
all of the ingredients that make up who I am. I like to believe that I
am just the right combination of everything that is needed for me to
earn, to love and to grow during this particular time on earth.
Happy summer and remember to celebrate your inner child who isalways with you!
Namaste

You want to get into beer shape, to drop the fat and to increase
tone and strength. It is possible to achieve any tness goal when
strive towards it every day.
When youre feeling movated, and d
to set a goal, its tempng to become
ambious by seng mulple goals. W
its great that you want to improve m
things about yourself, the pressure of t
to achieve more than one goal at once
cause you to drop all the goals.
Focus in on the one goal that you really want to achieve rst,
focus all of your eorts onto this goal. There will be plenty of m
the future to see to your other goals, but for now see your num
one goal all the way through to compleon.
Another downfall that oen results in dropped goals is the a

Why is this goal so important to you? There are probably m
reasons, and you should know every single one of them. Write d
each and every possible reason you can come up with as to why
goal needs to be met.
Get to know the reasons why this goal is so important to you. A

How awesome are you going to feel when youve accomplished

InterestIng Food superstItIons... The custom of throwing rice at weddings goes back to the time when people thought rice, a symbol of health and prosperity, would appease
spirits so they would not bother the wedding couple.
In Hungary, salt is thrown on the threshold of a new house because it is thought that salt will protect the inhabitants from evil.

I talked previously about the bony structure of the pelvis. Today I
am going to talk about the ligamentous structure of the pelvis and
how it helps support the articular relationships between the lumbar
vertebrae, the 3 bones of the pelvis and the femurs.
Because the pelvis holds a lot of weight, and is responsible for
distributing forces from the ground up and the head down, the
Sacroiliac Joints - SIJs dont want tobe too mobile. They need just enough
movement to ensure the forces can
actually move through the pelvis without
getting hitched up anywhere. Therefore
there are a lot of really big, thick and
strong ligaments to support this terribly
important balancing bowl.
The posterior of the pelvis is supported
mostly by the interosseous sacroiliac ligaments. This large web
of soft tissue connects the large ilia/hip bones to the sacrum and
supports the pelvis from the back, preventing too much forward
movements of the bones. It also supports the connection between
the coccyx and the sacrum.
On the anterior aspect we have the anterior interosseous ligaments
attaching to the same structures. These ligaments prevent backward
movements of the pelvis.
Above the ligaments is the iliolumbar ligament which holds the
L5 vertebra against the base of the sacrum. It checks rotational
movements of the L5 on the sacrum ensuring that it remains in a
proper alignment with the sacrum.
The Sacrotuberous Ligament is a very special ligament because it
acts like a keystone to the whole web of soft tissue of the pelvis.
Something to keep in mind about ligaments, in the pictures they look
very separate but in the real body they all blend together. Thereis a ne layer of connective tissue that covers the bones called
periosteum. It is this periosteum that the ligaments and tendons
blend into.
So the Sacrotuberous ligament blends into the periosteum of the
ishcial tuberosities (sit bones) and the sacrum. This then gives
rise to the Sacroilliac Ligaments and the Ilio-Lumbar Ligaments.
The tendons of the hamstrings, deep gluteal muscles, pelvic oor
muscles and the muscles of the lumbar spine all blend together.
By working directly with this segment of the pelvic web one can
create change, or initiate the opportunity for change, throughout the
connecting structures.
As a functional unit, these ligaments are a ne web. By altering onearea of this web, much like a shifting layer of fabric, the entire unit
is primed for change. Most dont realize the power this area of the
body holds and the amount of responsibility it carries. Literally it is
the base of our structure and, just by becoming familiar with the
interconnected nature of the immediate area, we can begin to see
how it supports and affects the whole physical being.
Indeed the whole body is one giant web woven into a tapestry of
wonder. Pretty darn cool, right?

TodaysTopicisabouTTheeaseofTransformaTion....parT
Many people ask me how to transform their Many feel their life would be better if they were mnancially stable, in a more loving relationship, wmore liked, felt more condent, were less heavy,

Get to know youwhat are your likes, dislikes. Write a list of pros and cons. Whenyou feel the most joyful, the most saddened? When do you feelmost energetic, the most tired? Write it all down, see where you eand where you nd challenges. Now, eliminate that which doesserve a purpose. What do you have left? Work within your means, capabilities, your skill set.
Oftentimes, we do things for the ease of another. We takeresponsibilities for another, we encourage another, we SPEND valutime with another, we often expend much needed ENERGY on anotWe must learn to give ourselves the same respect, the same time,same energy. Now, when you know yourself a little more, try sitin silence for just 5 minutes a day, view your thoughts, again wthem down.

D hv dm? I biv v d.
The question is: Are you willing to
do what it takes to make your dream
come true? Most people feel their
dream is so far out of reach they dont
even take a step in the right direction.
Limited beliefs (no money, Im too old,
bad economy) and low self-esteem
(Im not good enough, smart enough,
worthy of abundance etc.) hold people
back. Then there are, what I like to call
the dream squashers. These people
will tell you that you cant do it, all the
reasons why you shouldnt do it and
all the things that could potentially go
wrong if you do it.
f youve read biographies about famous people you will almost always
see that they lived in poverty or hit rock bottom at some point. Jim
Carrey was living out of his car with his pretend cheque for 1 milliondollars. Justin Bieber grew up in a rat-infested home with an empty
fridge. Halle Berry stayed in a homeless shelter. Mark Walhberg was
nvolved with drugs and served time in jail. J.K. Rowling was a single
mother living off of welfare. They had a dream or an inspired idea and
hey followed through on it despite their circumstances.
We can be, do or have anything we want. We are all born with the
same innite potential but its up to us to decide what we want and go
after it.
The book, The Compound Effect by Darry Harding talks about how
each decision we make day after day, month after month, year after
year becomes our present situation. Did you ever wake up one day
and ask yourself how did I get here?
Bob Proctor says that all physical manifestations (your present results)
are the result of your previous thinking. Thinking controls your feelings
and your feelings control your actions (decision making). So for
example: You Think: Im not smart enough for that job. You Feel: not
good enough, old, worthless. Your Actions: you dont apply for that job.
Your Present Result: no job, poor self-esteem.
My TIps For ManIFesTIng your DreaMs
Decide what you want. Dream small, dream big whatever the case
as long as you really want it in your heart because you love it or have
a passion for it, not because you think it will make you happy (even
though it probably will!).
Take one small step everyday in the direction of your dream. It could
be asking questions, doing some interviews, reading certain books,
starting a blog, starting a business plan, selling something for extra
cash, asking for help on Facebook, taking a class, etc. Imagine
where you could be in 2 years from now if you do one step everyday!
Surround yourself with people who believe in you and will support you
with your decisions. They may not always agree but good supporters
will give you constructive feedback and will still support you no matter
what you decide.
Do not let doubt, fear and anxiety stop you. Do not let your cu
circumstances dictate whats possible. You may be at rock bot
or cash, limited resources, few supporters but all you need to d
believe and keep moving forward even when you just want to
under the covers and ignore the outside world.
Listen to, watch or read motivational material everyday. Some
my favourites: Bob Proctor, Louise Hay, Earl Nightengale, DarHardy.
Decide that you are NOT going to be a victim of your circumsta
Focus on solutions and creative ideas not problems. Do Not
subscribe to limited beliefs that you are not good enough, sma
enough, too old, not pretty enough, no skills etc. This are just
excuses.
Do NOT let distractions take you away from your focus. Faceb
TV, unnecessary meetings, clubs or groups, classes etc. Ask
yourself is this activity in alignment with what I want? If not, it
time to reconsider your priorities.
Be happy Now! Dance, sing, do something creative, play withpet, write a gratitude journal. Get onto the frequency of positiv
and abundance!

When I speak of Ki here, I am referring to the life force energy (also
known as chi, prana, or subtle energy) that makes up ourselves and our
universe. Some people reading this article will have had the natural
ability to feel ki energy since birth, and some will have developed the
ability during this lifetime. If you dont know what it is like to feel ki
energy, dont worry! With a bit of dedicated practice, if you want to, you
can!
HereisonetrieDanDtesteD, kisensingMetHoD:First, make sure that you have a safe space to relax in. You can do
this meditation anywhere; from outdoors in nature, to your bed, or even
in the bath A meditation cushion is often ideal.
If you are practicing inside, you may want to play some meditation
music and dim the lighting.
Basically, nd a comfortable space to sit (or to stand, or lie down, up
to you!). Sitting in half lotus with your palms facing up, is one way to
start. You can try a new position each time or change your position at
any moment, depending on what feels best for you.
Close your eyes and bring your thoughts to your breath. Start breathing
deeply, in and out of your abdomen. Then bring your awareness to
your palms
You can easily bring your full attention to your palms by clapping or
rubbing them together quickly a few times. Clapping or rubbing the
palms is eventually not needed, but it can serve to bring all of your
focused awareness, including your blood and ki energy focus there,
instantly, which can help - especially in the beginning.
Raise your palms up, in front of your chest, facing each other, but not
touching.
As you inhale deeply, slowly separate your palms, as you exhale,slowly bring them back together.
It is that easy Now just focus your attention on the sensation of
energy between your palms... This will feel differently for every person.
It may feel like heat, magnetism, electricity, cotton candy, or something
else.
Continue for as long as you like.
practiced this meditation for about 5-7 minutes around 2-3x per week,
or over 4 years during my time with practicing and teaching Korean
Energy Yoga. The technique described above is called Chi-Gam. It is
very easy and I witnessed many people tapping into their ability to feel
ki energy, with this practice, including myself.
n the beginning of my own practice, I felt nothing between my palms
and I would often get frustrated with it. After a few months I knew I
was starting to feel some kind of magnetism between my palms... After
about 6 months I could feel the energy more clearly. The ability to feel
energy seemed to only get stronger and easier with more practice.
This practice of ki sensing for me, led into my discovery, learning and
practice of energy healing through Reiki, which has in turn, made me
even more sensitive to feeling ki energy as well.
There are a lot of benets to this practice including; the opportunity to
connect more deeply with oneself, and to reach a state of theta-level
elaxation in your brain, which can assist in physical healing, and the
release of stress, tension and related issues like
blood pressure and insomnia.

instrument, it may take a few weeks, months or
years of practice, but if you are diligent and keep teventually you will get it, so please dont give up

Once you can feel the energy, this practice gets

WHo are THe BernarDIaCsparanorMal researCH TeaM?
Founders Chris Bernardi and Justin
Pardiac started this group after
many failed attempts of trying to join
other paranormal investigation teams
without any success. They knew they
were on to something and decided
to go it alone and started their very
own paranormal research team. The
Bernardiacs Paranormal Research
Team was born!. The Bernardiacs
are a group of like minded individualswho just want to learn more about
paranormal activity and also want
o have fun doing it. Consisting of six members; Chris Bernardi,
Justin Pardiac, Jay and Katy Pinsonneault, Beth Fawcett and Justin
Vaughn - who the team refers to as The Professor - make up this
paranormal power team.
When the team isnt out researching the unknown, each member
brings a unique skill to their team. The Professor and fellow team
member Jay create the teams web content and videos for YouTube
and Jay actually builds most of the teams research equipment as
well. Beth Fawcett (creative director) and founder Chris Bernardi
make sure the investigations actually happen, from booking the
places, to nding places and putting the nal nishing touches onheir investigation videos. Other members Katy and Justin are the
eams best investigators, helping to pin-point paranormal activity
when out on location. The Bernardiacs are a perfect blend of
ntroverts and extroverts, explains founder Bernardi.
so WHaT Happens DurIng one oF THe BernarDIaCs
nVesTIgaTIons?
The team gathers their gear and heads to the chosen site to set
up their cameras and recording equipment, and then wait for the
unknown to show itself. If they sense or witness any paranormal
activity, the team will speak directly to any possible presence and
each member spends some time alone on the property. Its exciting
but at the same time it can be tedious. A lot of times we get no
action while we are there and only get our evidence when we are
reviewing. We like to have the house as empty as possible and we
are usually there overnight for about 4-5 hours, says Bernardi.
WHaT Is THe MosT InTeresTIng Case THe BernarDIaCs
HaVe InVesTIgaTeD?
Bernardi reveals that the Laura Secord Homestead of her famous
walk was one of their most unusual and promising investigations
he team has encountered. We saw an actual gure go behind the
house and we could hear whispers and taps while we were there,
says Bernardi.
He explains further that when the team was reviewing their
footage they could hear a childs laughter after asking the pres
if Hannah was there (Secords youngest daughter).
We actually have a video up of this that also shows an unexpl
ball of light that oats in boasts Bernardi.

That had never happened to me before.
Bernardi quickly remembers another incident of when they investi

were able to catch the whole thing happening on video.

The team has also created a private residential investigation se

Bernardi explains their lack of pricing, We do not charge for

do it.
Aside from nding and documenting their paranormal experie
and ndings on video, founders Chris and Justin have an even l
goal in mind. Eventually they plan to take all of their unexplain
experiences and share them with the public by writing a book
documentary or even landing a place in a television series. The
would also like to expand their research territory by broadening
search into the U.S. and Europe.

Numbers dont just follow us around on clocks and tickets; they like tobe a lot more up close and personal than that. Numbers speak to usnot only through our environment and frequency, but also through ournames. Using an ancient sacred science known as Numerology whichdates back several thousand years, we are able to grasp the mysteriousrelationship and cosmic vibration between numbers, living things andphysical objects.
Numbers employed in this fashion serve as one of the ve pureanguages in which Energy can communicate or create expressions. Justike the sound of your name produces a tonal vibration; these cosmic
vibrations can be characterized and given quality through an expressionof numbers.
Remember, most parents name their children based on how they feelabout the child. Very often parents will have names picked out whenthe baby is born, and they completely change the name because thebaby didnt look like a Mary. Reasonably speaking, lets be real, mostbabies look the same; super cute, balding, wrinkly, and well really cute!But how they look changes at light speed. Its not that the baby didnt
ook like a Mary, as much as she felt like a Jenny. Our names hold ourcosmic stardust, our essence, our potentials and our blueprints to theandscape we will adventure on in this life.
Accordingly, each letter in the alphabet has a numeric value. The sum ofthe letters in the name and birthdate employed in a series of formulasproduces an interrelation of vibrations that shed light on our character,ifes purpose, what drives us, what frustrates us, what motivates us,
where our talents lie and beyond.
Lets begin with your full name as it appears on your birth certicate.Using the chart provided, assign the correlating number to each lettern your name and then begin the simple addition of each number, once
you have added all the numbers together. If your nal result is a double
digit, add both numbers within it, until you have returned to a singledigit. See example!
Once you have combined all these letters and arrived at your nalnumber, you are looking at your Expression/Destiny number. This element depicts the tasks that you will most likely strive to achievethis lifetime. It also symbolizes the opportunities and potentials yohave available to you.
Sometimes, the aspects of the Destiny Number may be demandingit is your purpose, your mission. It is what drives you most and it is eld of innite opportunity, if you harness your higher potential. Tnumber could be more accurately dened as what we aspire to bein this life. If we were only to add up the vowels, we would have theUrge/Hearts Desire number and the consonants would provide usour Personality number.
So whats in your name and whats in this number? Next issue, we wdiscuss in deeper length and greater detail what each number mewhen it appears as your Expression/Destiny number. However, so ynot left hangin entirely - heres a sneak peek at each numbers posand negative qualities.
1 (+) Independent, pioneer, leader, independent, individualistic,willful, inventive, courageous (-) Dominating, impulsiveness, egotiboastfulness, willfulness, overly aggressive.
2 (+) Flexible, diplomatic, cooperative, intuitive understanding ofothers, partner, mediator, modest, sincere, spiritually inuenced (-)overly sensitive, fear, self-consciousness, depression.
3 (+) Optimistic, creative, social, imaginative, many artistic gifts,insightful, fun-loving. (-) Self-centered, scattered, moodiness, arrogexaggeration, unnished projects, lack of focus.
4 (+) Order and values, organized, practical, scientic, attention to
detail, management skills (-) stubborn, opinionated, delayed in actoverly serious, argumentative, lack of imagination.
5 (+) Constructive freedom, visionary, versatile, action oriented, cadventurer. (-) Impatience, restless, discontent, lacks application,dissatisfaction, hasty decisions.

So often when one thinks of the environment we have a long list of
things that are negative in focus. Over and over again we hear about
all the toxins in our food and personal care products that are bad for
us or are destroying the earth and often it can seem that things that
are beyond our control. This month I thought I would try and put a bit
more of a positive spin on things and talk about some of the amazing
changes Ive seen here in this ne city of Hamilton.
When I began selling MiEssence products 7 years ago there were
very few natural or organic options out there. Take organic food for
example - there was a grand total of one organic farm that I knew
of, Plan B (htt://bicfm.c/). If you werent gettingtheir CSA box you would be hard pressed to nd a local source for
organically grown produce.
Nowadays Plan B is not only still standing and thriving but there are
a variety of additional organic farms that have been added to the
mix. Mano Run (htt://www.m.cm/) and Simpler Thymeboth also run CSAs. If you are unfamiliar with that term it means, its
Community Shared Agriculture.
With a CSA you pay a set amount for a share of whatever the farmer
produces and you receive a variety of vegetables that are in season,
fresh and ready. Originally, a large payment was made up-front to give
the farmer the funds he/she needed to get things going at the beginning
of the season.
Some folks are still working with this model but others have a
exible payment schedule for those of us who nd it difcult to com
with four months worth of grocery payments in one month. For or
meat, there are a few local options as well; Fenwood Farms
(htt://www.fwdfm.cm/ ) and Mordens Organic and
Meats (htt://mdicfmt.cm/).
In addition to these great food options Hamilton is also home t
fabulous eco stores, Ecomystic (htt://www.cmtic.c/Simply Zen. Both of these stores carry of wide variety of eco-fr
products and fabulous green clothing lines. The expansion of
clothing has also been tremendous. Remember when buying
clothes meant baggy pants or t-shirts?
These days you can nd the most fashionable of items done with
eco-friendly fabrics and dyes.
Although I always try and support my local
independent farmers and stores I am also
pleased to be seeing more organic items in
our regular grocery store as well as at Costco.
The growth is exciting and amazing and
I hope we continue to see lots of businesses,both large and small becoming more
environmentally conscious.

With Stephanie HeartSong
Conversations with You is all about authentic connections... Very often
he healing conversations enjoyed with clients, friends and colleagues
on FaceBook, The Spiritual Network and /or Skype are ideally suited for
his monthly column published by Gusto Magazine, This months writing
was inspired by a series of sessions and metaphysical conversations
held with a client.

m b ht? lv Ht
H.S. Since you asked, Love Hurts, what if you could re-examine what
ove is? To keep it really simple, lets say that there are 3 consciousness
states of love: Love of Self, Love of Other, Love of All. All three have
ove as the common denominator But lets be more precise. I propose
hat we dene the LOVE denominator as everything; the air you breathe,
as the ocean sh swim, as the fabric of this Universe. Ok?
L.H. Ok, but how does that work to help me feel good about LOVE?
H.S. Well, lets look at Love of Self. Ask yourself these 3 questions and
pay attention to how your body and mind respond:
1. Do I deserve love?
2. How do I receive love and gratitude?
3. Can I look at myself in the mirror and say I LOVE YOU?
L.H. Oh, thats intense. I never thought to ask myself how I receive love.
My stomach actually felt queasy. I think it would be pretty tough to look
at myself and say I love you! I have to work on that.
H.S. Thats a great idea. The truth is: the body never lies. The mind,
well, it loves to assert truth! What the mind believes as self- important, it
will seek to conrm in your everyday life. Once the mind is comfortable
with its truth, you can feel safe and in control. In fact, the mind will
egularly invite you to bypass or ignore real feelings and propose howyou should feel so you can maintain status quo.
L.H. Ok, THAT really hit home. My head is denitely in charge. I guess
my minds been working overtime to gure out how to keep me safe
rom what I perceive hurts, like being in love! If Im not really ok with
ove in myself, its way easier to believe that it is all about the other not
oving me. Hmm, all this time, Ive been projecting, feeling angry and
even feeling jealous... OMG, Ive been a victim of my own perception!
H.S. That is an incredible insight! I totally empathize with you. Sounds
ike youve been dealing with a lot. The very fact that all those feelings
have surfaced, I propose, is a blessing. Its your heart and body letting
you know that the upper-management -your mind- needs to experience
he Truth about Love. The moment all of you (your mind-body-heart-
spirit) aligns with Truth; you heal the Self. When you love your Self...
ts so much easier to feel at peace with Loving the Other. The Self and
Other; its a dance teaching each person what it is to give and receive
ove, attention, kindness and compassion. The whole dynamic is based
upon your shared needs, hopes, desires, expectations and feelings. In
all relationships, when something triggers you, remember that you have
he power to change your choices and reactions. It is your awareness
hat reveals the expectations and attachments that You, yourself place
on Love.
L.H. Its all starting to make sense. If I am really honest with myself, I
projected fears and placed conditions not only on my partner but myself
as well. When we broke up, trust was breached,
I thought there was something wrong with me even though I had
been cheated on....oh boy, theres a lot of pieces of this whole puz
that are falling into place.
H.S. Love is a powerfully supportive force in any situation and
condition , Love is what creates the space to see and eventually
heal the fears that drive the need for conditions. Your mind consta
strives to gure out what love is. It always does its best and in the
end, you learn to move beyond the mind and to trust something m
bigger.
L.H. Trust is a big thing for me. I think that a lot of my issues with
love have to do with my need to control. I have always had a hardtime with trust! I have been disappointed so many times ...and I m
even as a kid!
H.S. Thats what great about looking at the healing power of love
L.H. This conversation rattles me but I feel like a tonne of bricks
been lifted off my shoulders.
H.S. Absolutely! Its your Truth. It takes courage to delve inside b
thats where you always nd your perfect solutions.
L.H. Life is absolutely crazy! Or maybe humanity is! Why do we go
around creating so much pain and hurt when all we want is LOVE
H.S. I totally agree with you and it perfectly leads into Love of All.
To keep it simple, I propose that you and I; that we (all) exist to
purposefully experience LOVE of ALL. Life is an experience of lo
and joy, pain and suffering within your Self and with the Other. Th
light in you accepts the darkness within. It is the path to knowing
yourself as unied, whole and truly complete. Such love exists an
this is the human spirits healing adventure. Love of All is your Un
Consciousness. It is pristinely singular yet so incredibly complex
Love of All, well, its a REALLY BIG concept. We could spend man
sessions talking about this! So, its best to break this metaphysic
truth down to what most impacts your world, right now. What mak
the most sense to you?
L.H. Love My Self!
H.S Perfect!
L.H. I think I need to let that whole idea go....
H.S Let go of what idea?
L.H. Love Hurts... I am ready for Love Heals!
H.S. Inspiring!
Make your own Kale Chips!
Youll need a cookie sheet or roasting pan, olive oil and sea salt. Youll o
want to use as much kale to make one layer on the pan, otherwise the
pieces underneath wont crisp up before the top pieces burn.
Pre-heat the oven to 375 degrees. Wash your kale and tear the leaves o the stems.
Tear into bite sized pieces. Spread them out on the pan.
Drizzle them with a bit of olive oil,. Sprinkle with sea salt.
Thats it! Pop in the oven for about 10-15 minutes or until the edges arebrown and theyre nice and crispy - Yum, yum! You can also top with
nutritional yeast for a vitamin B booster along with added crunch andcheesy avour!
