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

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

youll stop all progress. Take a deep breath and remember that

isnt a race. Start out slow and steady and gradually build as

progress toward your goal.

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

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?

The Pelvis : A Web To Hold The Bowl

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,

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.

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.

You will have your own reasons for wanting to sen

Just know that all it will take, is your decision to d

person is different. Like learning how to play a m

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

dont feel it right away.

Once you can feel the energy, this practice gets

fun, as you can begin to play with the energy. Yo

shape it into a ball or expand and contract it as

were blowing up a balloon, you can move the e

with your hands and change it with your intention

can form it into any shape that you want, a hea

innity symbol, a buttery, anything Be as creat

your imagination will allow

You may want to focus on emptying your mind comp

or perhaps on being open to receive information

insights from that space of connectedness. You may also wa

expand on this practice, by moving into more of an energy dance, s

moving and dancing freely with your ki energy, as well as explorin

energy that is all around you.

You can do this meditation on its own, or just after another pra

especially one that gets your energy system activated and owing

as tapping, yoga, dance, any kind of sport or exercise, gym work

walks, hikes, runs, swims, etc... You may notice an increase

sensation and strength of the energy ow, when practicing ki sen

after another physical activity.

Ideally you will want to keep your eyes closed the whole time d

this meditation, to keep the energy focus inside your body. Howev

ahead and peek, once in a while! You may nd that one day yoeven begin to see the ki energy stretching between your palms

that is another sense that you again can work on developing, if y

desire.

Over time, if you make it your intention to feel ki energy and take a

to practice this style of meditation regularly, you will surely become

and more sensitive to ki. Essentially you and your own persistenc

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.

Bernardi recalls an incident that he might classify as cre

That had never happened to me before.

Bernardi quickly remembers another incident of when they investi

a house in St. Catherines where a radio turned itself on and

were able to catch the whole thing happening on video.

The team has a slew of research projects coming up includin

investigation at MacFarlane House in Niagara On The Lake, B

House in Fort Erie (an old doll house museum with an undergr

railroad stop where supposedly is home to over 70 spirits) and

Fort Erie.

The team has also created a private residential investigation se

investigate their home for paranormal activity without a ch

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

we do, no one should. We are just grateful to have the chan

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.

6 (+) Responsible, sympathetic, loyal, home & family driven,humanitarian, artistic, nurturing, balanced. (-) Stubborn, self-rightedomineering, meddling, egotistical, outspoken.

7 (+) Knowledge seeker, scientic, inventive, meditative, perfectiosolidarity, charming. (-) Sarcastic, isolated, inexible, stubborn,suspicious.

8 (+) Political and executive business skills, decisive, power,commanding, recognition, authority. (-) Overly materialistic, workaoverly ambitious, lacks humanitarianism, poor money managing,dominating.

9 (+) Humanitarian, giving, seless, sacricing, creative, artistic andwriting talents. (-) Moodiness, selshness, self-adulation, possessivcareless nances, attention seeking.

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.

evwh I , c bd. I hv t hd tihi i

v tim. I thi Im cd t t ht i. Hw d I md

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!
